Parallel love

In 2024, I was a low-level worker. When I was only 30 years old, my wife chose to let me be with my son. In the past 10 years, I have been flooded by mortgage loans. My father's cancer overwhelmed my last straw. When I was desperate, I chose to jump from the 30th floor. When I woke up again, I found that I was committing domestic violence against a person. The beautiful wife and the cute baby lay on the ground in despair. What crime have I suffered? I have become such a ridiculous person. Since then, I have launched a family rescue plan for this scum...

Meanwhile, in downtown San Francisco, at the Tianmei Entertainment branch.

Ada's face was as gloomy as if it could drip water, and her agent's expression was equally poor, creating a heavy atmosphere in the room. Only Freya, not far away, was secretly laughing, looking quite smug.

Ada glanced at her agent, feeling increasingly that this old and fading woman was useless!

"Sis! Wasn't my song supposed to be released on Huayin by the end of July? What's going on now? They pulled the song down and asked me to go online in early August?"

"The company's promotion has been done! I just bought hot search! They're so brazen! They not only postponed my song without saying a word but also occupied all the hot searches. Sis! You've been in charge of this matter all along, you have to give me an explanation!"

The agent's face grew even darker. After such an incident, she was already in a bad mood, and now Ada was shouting at her, making her even more furious.

"Explanation? You want an explanation from me? Why don't you go to Huayin yourself? Why are you venting at me? Originally, the event over there was scheduled to end in mid-August. Who knew that suddenly there would be someone like Cic, and a song would make Huayin's MV go online early."

If it weren't for Ada still needing to make a living, the agent wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

"So what now?"

Ada's tone remained confrontational, and the agent frowned. They were like grasshoppers on the same rope, unable to turn against each other. They could only take a deep breath and patiently say, "What else can we do? We can only wait for this wave to pass and then release your album. But this time, the company's resources definitely won't be much. We'll have to figure something out ourselves!"

Ada knew this was the only option, but she still felt aggrieved. She could only curse Cic silently in her heart. It was all because of him! He took away the popularity that belonged to her!

When Ada turned her face and saw Freya not far away, laughing secretly, she became even more furious.

"Freya! Can't you see how chaotic it is here? Come over and clean up!"

Her voice was sharp and piercing, making Freya instinctively cover her ears.

"Oh! Sorry! My contract expired today, and I've already submitted my resignation!"

"Haha! I'm not serving you anymore!"

Freya laughed and sat back in her chair, legs crossed, leisurely sipping tea. Since she was leaving anyway, what face did she need to save? Freya felt extremely happy at this moment!

Ada suddenly stood up, pointing at Freya. Her face alternated between pale and green, but she couldn't say a word for a long time!

Some people are happy, and some are even happier.

After lunch, Louis and his family happily took a taxi out. They were going to the 4S store to buy a car today.

Although the income from the MV co-created with Huayin hadn't arrived yet, Louis had enough savings to buy a commuting car.

The nearest 4S store to their home was an hour's drive away. At 2:20 in the afternoon, the family arrived at the 4S store on time.

"Welcome, sir and madam, do you have any preferred car models?"

The salesperson in charge of reception lit up. With a few years of sales experience, seeing a family of three coming to look at cars, there was an 80% chance of making a deal!

Louis nodded. He and Anna had studied in advance at home, and they had decided on the car model before coming.

"Do you have the Mercedes-Benz E300? Top configuration!"

"Yes, we do!"

As soon as Louis mentioned the car model he liked, the salesperson's eyes lit up even more. The Mercedes-Benz E300, even the cheapest one, would cost at least fifty thousand dollars.

"Sir, we have the top-spec Mercedes-Benz E300 available right now, and we have two! One is black, and the other is white. Which one would you like to see first?"

While talking, the salesperson led Louis and his family into the store. He had years of sales experience, so he spoke very skillfully.

Instead of asking Louis which one he wanted to see, he asked which one he wanted to see first, which made people feel comfortable. It was as if he was saying, "You, sir, whichever one you choose doesn't matter. This is the art of language."

"Black! It looks more profound."

This was also the decision they had made at home. Black looked more luxurious, and Anna wouldn't lose face when going out.

"Sir, you have a good eye! Black does indeed suit your wife's temperament better!"

While speaking, the salesperson led Louis to the car and introduced, "This is the Mercedes-Benz E300, black, top configuration with seat adjustment function, audio control switch, central control screen function control switch, rear seat cup holder wireless charging function, seat heating, and many other functions. The atmosphere lights inside the car are also very beautiful."

"Sir, would you like to sit in and try?"

Louis shook his head and smiled.

"I won't sit. Anna, could you hold Cicc for me and try?" Louis said.

He noticed Anna's eyes light up when she saw the car, apparently quite satisfied with it. Anna felt a bit shy, her cheeks turning slightly red, but she gathered the courage to hand Cicc over to Louis and got in.

She had dreamed before that she would have a car of her own, but she never thought it would come true today. The car was excellent, with elegant lines yet still imposing. The handling felt good, and the engine sound was great. Especially the interior, Anna liked it very much.

Seeing Anna reluctant to let go, Louis felt even happier. He boldly took out his bank card and driver's license and handed them to the salesperson.

"I'll take this one! Full payment! Card swipe!" The salesperson's mouth almost stretched to his ears, but he still maintained his professionalism.

"Sir, don't you want to ask about the price?" "No need! I've inquired about the price. You just give me a discount as long as it doesn't exceed the price I inquired about. I'm buying this car today!" Hearing this, the salesperson's heart sank. Well! This handsome guy is also a smart one. Not telling me his inquiry price reduces my maneuvering space a lot.

"All right! Sir, I will definitely give you the biggest discount. Wait for me to prepare the documents. If everything is suitable, we can make the deal."

After saying that, the salesperson left with the bank card and driver's license to prepare various materials. Louis didn't wait long before the salesperson returned with the car purchase contract and various documents. They sat down at the table in the lounge area.

"Sir, if you pay in full, we can offer you a price of $65,000, including insurance and registration, and we'll also give you a complete set of car seat covers and car clothes, and you can pick up the car tomorrow morning!"

Louis nodded. The price was almost the same as what he had inquired about, and he quite liked this salesperson too. So, without hesitation, he entered his password and swiped his card to make the payment!

With all the procedures completed, Louis made an appointment with the salesperson to pick up the car the next morning and left the 4S store happily.

Back home, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Just as Louis arrived home, he received a call from Bailey.

"Hey! Great talent, congratulations! Now the internet is flooded with that MV and news about you. You're really famous now!"

"Thanks, but I'm not that eager for fame. It's your company that must have gained a lot this time, right?" Louis laughed. His song represented Ocean Sound Entertainment sent to Huayin. Their company must have gained a lot of benefits.

"These benefits may not be visible immediately, but they will gradually show up in the future. Whenever Huayin has any benefits in the future, they will definitely think of us first."

"Well, isn't it all thanks to you, great talent? Speaking of business, when is Anna coming over to report?"

Bailey teased Louis on the phone, then asked with a smile.

Louis glanced at Anna, who was secretly eavesdropping on his phone call from the couch, and smiled.

"In a couple of days, at the latest by the 3rd. There are still some things to take care of at home before she comes over."

"Great! Then I'll be waiting for her grand arrival!" Bailey was very curious about what kind of personality the woman who made Louis go through so much trouble for her would be.
