From the day he moved into the dormitory, Li Qian's second university life began.

  Before leaving Zhou Wen's home, Li Qian asked her for a piece of paper and solemnly wrote down his name, school, class, address, phone number, etc. one stroke at a time.

  He then bid farewell and left, and Zhou Yu did not stop him again.

  Then, university life began.

  For the vast majority of ordinary college students, this means unprecedented ease, with a large amount of free time every day to learn, read books, chase girls, and of course play games and hang out in internet cafes.

  Military training is unavoidable, and the instructor will definitely give a lecture. Class cadres need to be elected, student union cadres need to be elected, teaching materials are distributed, classmates take turns to introduce themselves on stage. Some have been influenced by their family since childhood, some are enthusiastic about their own interests, some have been determined to take the film academy exam since they were young, and some didn't discover that they looked better until high school, but their grades were not good, so they came to take the exam in a daze and passed it in a daze.

  But generally speaking, students who can get into this school have a bit of artistic temperament, or to put it nicely, they have a somewhat literary and artistic air about them.

  Anyway, young people around the age of 18 or 19, whether male or female, all have a bit of pretentiousness, and to some extent, they also have a little pride and a little self-respect.

  Then, shouting slogans of "one two three four", university life started with a whoosh.

  Li Qian is relatively low-key, he is tall and looks more mature than his classmates around him. At first, the counselor let him be in charge of leading the team for military training, as a small team leader, but that night he found the counselor and resigned from this small team leader position.

  Firstly, the squad leader is responsible for leading the team during military training, and after the training ends, eight or nine out of ten classmates will recognize him. When it comes to electing a class monitor, it's almost a sure thing. However, Li Qian still didn't have the heart to be a class monitor even after re-reading university. It's because he was really used to being lazy and idle. Secondly, if he became the squad leader, how could he escape military training?

  Although he didn't say much, his relationships with others seemed to be okay. Although he quit being the small team leader on the second day, there were still people who called him "Li Dui". As time went by, everyone became more familiar with each other after a few days. However, everyone knew that he was called "Li Dui", but nobody remembered his ordinary name.

  Then, um, this year the photography department accepted a total of twenty-five students, with twenty-four being male.

  The only girl, said to be of a good family, seemingly from an artistic background, a proud little princess, probably doesn't think much of the boys in her class, and is a lone wanderer.

  Then again. Yeah, right, the performance department indeed has many beauties, even by Li Qian's relatively strict standards, among this year's sixteen female students in the performance department, there are four or five girls who can be considered beauties.

  This proportion is quite high.

  Because there are fewer students in school, the whole school has only three dormitory buildings: boys' building, girls' building and graduate building.

  This indirectly confirmed a saying that Li Qian had heard in that space-time before - there is a third gender in the world.

  Li Qian and five others lived in their dormitory, from all over the country.

  Among them, Lu Bin is from Suzhou and seems to be from a relatively wealthy family. He was the only one in the dormitory who brought a laptop, and within just a few days, this brand new laptop became public property of the entire dormitory.

  In today's era, the cheapest laptop costs over 10,000 yuan, and even the worst desktop computer costs around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. For now, it's really not something that ordinary people or families can afford to spend on.

  Then, well. Liu Xueyi is the oldest, Li Qian is the tallest, and Lu Bin's family is the richest... To say that they are all 18 or 19 years old, a bit artistic, whether outgoing or introverted, they are all very good-natured and get along quite well. In just a few days, the people in the dormitory have already started calling each other brothers.

  What's even more unfortunate is that Li Qian's age actually ranks second.

  …………

  Just as Li Qian's military training was still tanning him darker, the decoration of Li Qian's studio on the 8th and 9th floors of Building C, Anbei Mansion, had already approached its final stage.

  To rush the progress, Qijie had already contacted the telephone installation in advance. Then, before the renovation was thoroughly completed, all the telephones were installed. The next day, a large truck delivering office furniture arrived again.

  The office furniture and supplies are basically complete, the renovation is also finished. Li Qian only came over to check once after dinner during military training, and the rest was taken care of by Qi Jie and Huang Wenjuan. By September 14th, the decoration company completed all indoor renovations three days ahead of schedule. After acceptance, the remaining payment was settled, and the first step of the studio renovation is considered complete.

  The next step is to enter the equipment and install it.

  Of course, that's not urgent and can be done slowly. Some high-end equipment is currently not available for domestic production. At the beginning of the renovation, Qijie had already sent detailed orders to relevant companies in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK and other countries through several foreign trade enterprises, according to the list repeatedly discussed and finalized by Li Qian and Cao Ting. The other party has confirmed the order, and after receiving the deposit from Li Qian's studio, they have started shipping. It is expected that all equipment will arrive within a month, from late September to early November.

  The equipment that has been ordered, although it's just barely enough to get started, is almost sufficient for some of the work in the early stages of setting up the workshop. Just these devices alone are over 13 million, and even if Li Qian wanted to buy more, he couldn't afford it. Even with this batch, if they didn't only require a deposit before shipping, to be honest, Li Qian still wouldn't have been able to afford it, at least not in August.

  Then, with the Huaying Music side about Wuxingwusu's new album production contract, Qi Jie has gone through the details of the contract with the other party's deputy general manager one by one, and is already in a state where it can be signed at any time. If there are no accidents, Wuxingwusu's next album will also become the opening work of Li Qian's studio.

  Everything is ready, Li Qian's studio can open at any time.

  Considering that Li Qian, the big boss, must be present, it can only be held on Saturday or Sunday. Also, considering that the renovation has just been completed, it is necessary to dissipate the smell. After discussion by everyone, it was finally unanimously decided that the opening time of Li Qian's studio would be September 25th, Saturday.

  …………

  Saturday, September 25th.

  It's 9:30

  The location is 8th floor of Building C, Anbei Mansion.

  Li Qian, Li Baba, Li Mama, Wang Jinglu, Liao Liao, Huang Wenjuan, Qi Jie.

  Because previously, whether it was Li Qian or his agent Qi Jie, they were always on the periphery of the music circle. So in this circle, there really isn't much of a network to speak of. Liao Liao has been very popular over the past two years and has built up some connections, but since her contract is still with Changsheng Records, although she will definitely come to support him, it's not easy for her to invite people to come and cheer on her future employer. Li Qian also didn't plan to invite his classmates from school, only inviting his parents Li Dad and Li Mom to come. It was just so they could witness their son's first major achievement with their own eyes.

  As a result, in the spacious office venue, there were only seven people present at the grand opening ceremony.

  To be honest, it's quite shabby.

  The property management office of Anbei Building knew that this side was opening today, and they even sent over a few pairs of flower baskets. However, when one of the deputy general managers came to take a look, he saw that it was just a small-scale opening with only a few people present. It seemed that they hadn't even hired a ritual company, and they were clearly trying to keep a low profile. The deputy general manager politely left the flower baskets behind, congratulated them a few times, and then quickly took his leave.

  It's already 9:40. Li Qian is still taking Li Baba and Li Mama to visit the renovated but not yet equipped workshop, while Huang Wenjuan and Liao Liao have prepared a long string of firecrackers.

  In the urban area, it is not allowed to set off fireworks and firecrackers, but opening a business needs to be auspicious and festive, so companies generally go to apply for permission, and they will agree. Not to mention that it's like Li Qian's studio, with a registered capital of 3 million, only requiring the ignition of one string of 16666 rounds of firecrackers, without even any fireworks, and they will easily approve it.

  Li Qian took Li Baba and Li Mama to inspect the building from top to bottom, which was considered a leadership inspection. Then, since no guests were invited anyway, everyone came together to the rooftop, where several girls excitedly arranged firecrackers on the ground in an extremely awkward "8" shape, after which Qi Jie handed over a lighter that had been prepared in advance to Li Qian.

  Li Qian walked over and lit the twist.

  Crackling and popping, great success in opening!

  The fireworks are over, and everyone applauds together. Li Qian's studio is now officially established.

  Liao Liao pulled Qi Jie to the edge of the rooftop, pointing downwards and said: "Here, you should hang a few big golden characters outside, put up a sign inside, if it's not on the 8th floor nobody can see it, hang it here, that's what they call making a name for yourself!"

  Wang Jinglu was very much in favor of this opinion, but Qi Jie had to tactfully explain that the property owner disagreed with doing it this way.

  So a group of people who were bored out of their minds gathered there to discuss how to make the studio "famous far and wide".

  Li's father and mother didn't quite get along with the young girls, so they didn't dare to join in, the old couple just said hello to Li Qian and went back inside, taking a walk around.

  Mrs. Li looked around here and there, touched this and that, sighed with emotion, but when she turned her head, she saw Mr. Li frowning, muttering to himself, and asked: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Your son's studio is opening, look at you, you've been frowning since yesterday, and you're still frowning now!"

  Mr. Li glanced at her and said impatiently: "What do you know!"

  He put his hands on his hips, swung his arms in a semicircle, and said, "This big place, two floors up and down, Xiaojian said it's over 1,300 square meters. You know, he mortgaged this place? I asked Teacher Qi privately, she told me that the total cost was 10.8 million, and the mortgage alone was 5.4 million! What a concept! A five-year mortgage, in five years, just the interest is over 2 million! Adding it up, after five years, he'll have to pay the bank nearly 8 million!"

  Mrs. Li is good at managing the household, and her abacus calculations are usually more accurate than anyone else's. However, when the numbers suddenly jumped to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, she felt a bit overwhelmed and couldn't keep up with the calculations, but somehow it all seemed like a lot, a lot more.

  Although they had discussed this topic countless times at home, it was just an empty talk without seeing the actual place. Now that they have seen it, they feel so spacious and grand. To be honest, despite being very confident in their son, they are still more worried than happy.

  How can you earn enough money to pay back 70 or 80 million?

  Mrs. Li thought for a moment and comforted Mr. Li, "In just one year, he's already able to afford such a big place, and it's decorated so well, with such attention to detail. There are still five years left, how do you know he won't be able to pay it off?"

  Mr. Li looked at her helplessly and explained, "If it were just a matter of earning money to pay off this debt, I wouldn't be worried. He earns over 10 million a year, so how could he not pay off these few hundred million in five years? But the problem is, I heard from Teacher Qi that according to Xiao Qian's plan, they're going to invest another 30 to 50 million in this studio over the next few years! Think about it. What kind of concept is that? 30 to 50 million! He's planning to buy a lot of advanced equipment! You say, with his spending habits, even if he earns more and has a higher income, can he still save money?"

  Mrs. Li was speechless upon hearing this.

  After a moment, she looked around and saw no one was there, so she whispered: "Why don't you advise him later? Even if we want to buy something, let's save up the money first. And then consider taking out a loan?"

  Mr. Li sighed and looked around, seeing no one nearby, he finally couldn't help but take out a cigarette and light it up, taking a deep drag. He whispered to Mrs. Li: "Don't mention anything else, look at this, isn't this an opening? Who opens a business without seeking good luck? Without seeking excitement? They're just a few people gathered together, setting off firecrackers is all they've done!"

  He paused for a moment, then said: "I asked him last night who he had invited. Were there any leaders? The result was that he said he didn't know anyone in the circle either, just a few friends, also in Jinan, and wasn't planning to let people come from far away just to make up the scene, so not even one person was invited! You say, you say, opening for business, you have to let people know that you're open for business, don't you? Not to mention others, we don't invite, we don't know, and it's not necessarily possible to invite them. At least, like that company called Song that we've cooperated with before, and Jingxue and those few girls' combination, shouldn't they be invited?"

  Li's mother nodded in agreement, seemingly finally realizing the poor state of today's opening. She also furrowed her brow, "Yeah, it's an opening, after all! It's about doing business, not just hanging firecrackers. We need to spread the word that we're already open for business if we want customers!"

  Mr. Li let out a deep sigh, feeling emotional but speechless.

  It has to be admitted that the son is grown up and very capable. Looking at the businesses he has set up at such a young age, Li Dad feels that he is no longer qualified to teach his son anything. However, at this time, he also feels that what his son is doing is not right. Subconsciously, he also thinks that the opening of his son's studio being so low-key is not a good omen. But Li Qian is very confident and doesn't care what others say.

  For Li's dad, it's just two words: depressing!

  But at this moment, Li's father was smoking heavily, and Li's mother's ears were sharp. It seemed that she suddenly heard some movement and hurriedly patted Li's father's arm, saying uncertainly: "It seems like someone downstairs is shouting?"

  Li's father was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, he saw Qi Jie already walking towards the stairs while still on the phone, "Okay, okay, oh dear, I really didn't expect you to come, please wait a minute, we'll go down right away!"

  After hanging up the phone, she saw that Li Qian had also followed over and said: "You can go down together too. It's Huage Records, a deputy general manager has arrived, it's the one who discussed the contract with me, surname Shen. And Five Lines Wu Su seems to have come too!"

  She hadn't finished speaking when her mobile phone suddenly rang again.

  "Hello, oh...... Ah, Director Xie, hello. Yes, yes, yes, right, right, right. Ah, you're already downstairs? Right, 8th floor, my god, I really didn't expect you to come. Originally we were... Okay, okay, please go up first, I'll wait for you at the elevator entrance..."

  After hanging up the phone, she turned around and looked at Li Qian. She also learned from Li Qian and habitually shrugged her shoulders, "It's Xie Mingyuan, and it seems that Watanabe Kazuya has also arrived!"

  Li Qian's mouth twitched slightly.

  At this time, Liao Liao and the others had also walked over. Li Dad and Li Mom were watching Li Qian with great concern. Li Qian could only helplessly say: "Originally, I really just wanted to simply set off firecrackers and that's it, but it seems they're not going to let me live in peace!"

  Others might not know what to say at this time, but Li's father was fearless. He immediately said excitedly: "Guests are coming? This is a good thing! What's wrong, it's opening time and you're not welcoming guests? Hurry up, let's all go down!"

  Mr. Li had just finished speaking when Liao Liao's phone suddenly rang again.

  She took out her phone and glanced at it, then waved it at Li Qian, "Hey, Old Chen!"

  After that, she smiled and answered the phone, "Hmm, President Chen, hello, yes, I'm with him! Ah? How did you know he's opening today? Haha, okay, okay, I'll go pick you up then? Oh, okay, twenty minutes, right? I'll wait for you at the stairway entrance on the 8th floor, don't press the wrong button!"

  She hung up the phone and smiled somewhat strangely, "How about it, didn't I tell you? Li Qian's studio is going to open for business, still want to be quiet and low-key? Possible?"
