Chapter 40 (2/2)

Even Boswell, he hadn’t noticed.

And what Min Chen just said was basically: Your strength has nothing to do with me.

In the bleak, chilly night, Qi Mu suddenly felt warm swell in his chest and flow through the rest of his body.

At a young age, his adoptive parents once taught him this truth. Some people looked kind and warm, but they will always try to promote themselves and let others praise them for offering help. Other people, while they appeared cold and distant, when they really wanted to help you, they would do it from the shadows and never show themselves.

In fact, this was also a tenderness.

Only someone that was careful enough to notice it would see this kindness.

Dark clouds filtered across the night sky, and the moon’s light scattered through to the earth. This night, which was exciting for so many fans, had officially come to an end. A new day was about to begin.

There were fans of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra all over the world. The concert had only just ended the night before, and the next day, the entirety of Hong Kong, all of China, and even the world’s major magazines had reported on the concert. Some well-known papers that were not focused on music had also reported on it.

Qi Mu got up early the next morning and received several congratulations. Among them, Zheng Wei Qiao, Tan Lao, and Du Sheng had known he wanted to participate in New Ai’s concerts. They called him to offer congratulations for his performance, then asked for the album of the concert as their souvenirs from Qi Mu’s trip.

Once these old people got cheeky and thick-skinned, Qi Mu really couldn’t take it anymore. But when he went to the festival to buy an album, he was told, “New Ai’s concert album? I came out this morning and was robbed, ah! Hey, aren’t you that Qi Mu that performed last night? Can you. . . sign my album?”

Qi Mu: “. . .”

After signing his name, he quickly ran to the concert hall. Fortunately, the orchestra hadn’t left yet. After listening to his request, Hooke gave him a dozen albums. Qi Mu wanted to pay him for them.

The bearded chief took Qi Mu aside and whispered, “In fact, Xiao Qi, there’s an album here that was meant for you, the other ones. . . just let me give those to you.”

Qi Mu felt a bit strange and hesitated, “Mr. Hooke, for you to give me all this, it’s a bit. . .”

He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Hooke’s beard quirk up a little. “You and . . . cough, you and Mr. Bertram are pretty familiar, right? I heard Mr. Boswell say he was very good to you. I also appreciate you, so after a while, let me walk through the back door too, alright? A few tickets and autographed albums from Mr. Bertram? I’ll definitely pay for them, don’t misunderstand!”

“. . .” Qi Mu was silent for a while, then he said, “Didn’t you say yesterday. . . that signature was for your daughter?”

Hooke’s face reddened. “Where can I get the nerve in front of Mr. Bertram? If I ask for a signature, ah, I can only say my baby. My baby’s only two years old. . . she’s always happy when she hears Mr. Bertram’s songs, but even if she wanted to say it, she’s a bit young. . .”

Qi Mu: “. . .”

After righteously refusing, Qi Mu spent well over a thousand dollars to officially buy the dozen of albums at their original price.

Looking at Hooke’s weeping face, he felt he was too harsh and said, “Alright, Mr. Hooke. . . I’m not familiar with Min Chen, but you can rest assured. If I get the opportunity, I will definitely put in a few words for you.”

The bearded man immediately smiled and quickly gave him another album. He refused to take any more money. “You directly call Mr. Bertram by name. You must be very familiar! Xiao Qi, don’t be so humble!”

Qi Mu: “. . .”

He had refused Hooke because he didn’t feel that he had that big an influence on Min Chen. However, he made up his mind. If he had the chance to help Hooke in the future, he would do his best!

At that time, he didn’t know that his determination. . . for the bearded Hooke, it was the realization of his life’s dream.

Idol is recording a new album?

First to buy it!

Idol is holding a new concert?

First to buy the ticket!

Hooke was quite the visionary. This was the first time he was investing. . . so he invested in the most rewarding thing in the world stock with the potential to——Increase. In. Value.
