Chapter 492: Xie Zheng is about to become a sensation

Bai Zhi walked over and was surprised to see Xie Zheng and his grandparents. She greeted them politely, "Grandpa Xie, Grandma Xie, you two are here too?"

Xie Zheng was very dissatisfied with her selective ignoring of him, and he said quietly, "And me too."

Bai Zhi, "........."

She wore a fake smile and said sarcastically, "Even the famous singer Xie is here?"

Xie Zheng waved his hand, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

"Xiao Zhi, we heard you were going out, so we came to see you. You young people have been so busy lately, we haven't seen you in a long time."

Grandpa Xie looked at her with concern and asked softly, "Have you been very busy lately? You look thinner."

After finishing his sentence, Grandpa Xie looked at Grandpa Lu with displeasure. "Such a good girl, how does your family treat her? If she were my granddaughter-in-law, I would definitely not let her work so hard, and I would raise her to be plump and healthy."

After complaining about Old Master Lu and the others, she changed her expression to one of concern, saying, "Child, you've really worked hard."

Bai Zhi, "......."

When Old Master Lu heard that Old Xie was seizing the opportunity to sow discord, he retorted with a stern face, "The child is busy with his career."

“Our children are all successful and have their own careers to pursue, but they don’t have the same fate as your children, who are almost thirty and still need their parents’ retirement pension to support them.”

Since Lao Xie started the trouble, don't blame him for exposing their shortcomings.

Let's hurt each other, who can't do that?

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zheng corrected him, "Grandpa Lu, I'm not spending my grandparents' retirement money now, I'm earning my own money."

He said, "Moreover, if my album sells well when it's released next year, I'll have no problem getting 100,000 in dividends."

"How much?" Old Master Lu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard his words.

Lu Zheng'an and the others also looked at Xie Zheng with strange expressions.

Xie Zheng said confidently, "One hundred thousand."

"What kind of record can sell 100,000 copies?" Lu Zheng'an asked with a smile.

Xie Zheng corrected again, "It's not that it's sold for 100,000, it's that I personally get 100,000."

The songs their band performed at various galas and stages received very positive responses.

The record company they signed with is one of the top companies in the country.

A lot of pre-release promotional work had already been done before the album was released.

They also conducted an assessment and survey of the target audience for their album.

Based on current trends, once the record is released, it will definitely sell well.

Upon hearing Xie Zheng's words, apart from Bai Zhi, the other four people in the room all showed expressions of astonishment.

Even Xie Zheng's grandparents seemed to think their grandson was exaggerating.

Singing can make that much money?

Grandpa Lu's first reaction was disbelief.

He had heard Xie Zheng sing.

I used to go to the Xie family to play chess with Old Xie, and this kid would be in the yard playing and singing with a guitar.

To him, Xie Zheng's singing was nothing but decadent music.

He likes to listen to military songs; they are loud and powerful.

He can get 100,000 yuan for the crap he sings?

Just then, Lu Shan returned home from get off work.

"Shanshan, you've come at the right time. Come over and listen to what Ge Xiezheng is saying."

Lu Shan was clearly not interested in their conversation, but she still sat down next to them.

Grandpa Lu felt somewhat helpless with Xie Zheng, but he patiently tried to educate him.

“Xiao Zheng, your grandparents don’t object to your singing, so we have even less reason to say anything. You don’t need to make such a fuss. We’re old and don’t know anything, but our Xiao Zhi and Shan Shan are young people, not so easy to fool. Let alone earning 100,000, we’d be happy if you could support yourself.”

Lu Shan sat there without responding.

She was unclear about the standards for what constitutes a singer's income.

In addition, does Xie Zheng currently qualify as a singer?

She had no idea where he was working.

But Bai Zhi spoke up for Xie Zheng today, "Grandpa, Xie Zheng wasn't exaggerating. On the contrary, he said that earning 100,000 yuan from a record is a conservative estimate. I guess he'll earn more than that."

In her past life, she watched a singer interview program. A rock singer who became popular in the 1990s revealed on the show that he signed with a record company in 1990 and was given 300,000 yuan after the release of his first album.

He was stunned when he saw the money.

In her past life, she wasn't familiar with Xie Zheng and didn't know how much his first record earned.

But given their band's current momentum, their album will definitely be a huge hit across the country once it's released.

At that time, the sales of cassettes and discs will definitely not be low.

Their songs can be heard everywhere.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Xie Zheng immediately straightened his back and looked at Old Master Lu with an air of arrogance.

I thought to myself, if even your most beloved and trusted granddaughter-in-law has said so, what else could you not believe?

Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie's eyes also lit up as they looked at Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, are you telling the truth? This kid isn't lying to us?"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "This time I don't think I lied."

The elderly couple's expressions suddenly relaxed.

Xie Zheng looked at his grandparents with a wronged expression, feeling hurt by their doubts. "Grandpa, Grandma, didn't you believe me? Why do you still need to confirm with Bai Zhi?"

Grandma Xie chuckled, "Grandson, we trust you. Isn't this just to confirm things and give us peace of mind?"

Grandpa Xie also breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Old Lu triumphantly, "Old Lu, look at my investment over the years, it's finally going to pay off. This kid, he really is a man of few words, but when he does speak, he amazes everyone, haha."

"You haven't seen the atmosphere when this kid sings on stage. Let me tell you, there are so many people, all young people, and they're incredibly enthusiastic. You can tell they all really like this kid and his band."

When Xie Zheng invited him to watch their performance for the first time, Grandpa Xie was not sure what to expect.

Later, I saw Xie Zheng and his band members dressed in strange costumes, holding instruments and shouting on stage, while the young people below the stage excitedly whistled and called his name.

Although it was noisy, the atmosphere was exciting.

This era has truly changed.

They have long since fallen behind the pace of social development.

I used to think Xie Zheng was an oddball, but now it seems that his grandson isn't the only crazy young man.

Since he has such a large audience, it means he's not just messing around.

They, as elders, may not understand, but they respect.

Let him be.

I've heard he's about to make a fortune from this.

The old man felt both gratified and apprehensive.

Can you really make money by yelling and shouting and playing seductive music?

Can this last?

However, being able to show off in front of Old Lu today is a way of turning the tables.

We'll talk about the future later.

If this kid doesn't make any money next year, then the old couple can just keep supporting him.

We'll write to his parents then, urging him to find a job.
