Chapter 72 of Volume 1 First Part

  Ludi is now busy with Jiang You and several others in decorating the recording studio.

  When Lu Li rented an office, he specially bought two houses next to the office building, which were used as recording studios. Several people worked together, and Jiang You was familiar with Hua Qing, so he helped contact the decoration company.

  Takaaki and Wu Chuan were both studying music, so they knew a bit more about the music aspect, and accompanied Lu Li to buy recording equipment. In the end, Lu Li saw that Lin Guoqing had nothing to do, so he sent him to Meng Qi's side to assist with recruitment.

  The next day, Jiang You contacted a professional recording studio decoration company.

  Lu Li received a call from Jiang You and met with the person in charge, repeatedly emphasizing that they must use the best materials, even if it's more expensive, as long as the sound insulation effect is good.

  For recording songs, the recording studio is very important, especially the acoustic treatment of the recording room and the recording equipment, which have very high requirements. Lu Li didn't spare any expense and intentionally built a high-quality professional recording studio, so he also had very high demands for this. Lu Li also personally participated in this matter, fearing that there would be problems.

  After getting the other party's affirmative answer, Lu Li kept staring at the decoration company to decorate the room, and let Takagi buy equipment, such as essential computers, professional sound cards, mixers, microphones, speaker amplifiers, monitoring speakers, etc., just waiting for the decoration to be completed.

  The work was divided into two parts. While Lu Li was busy with the renovation of the recording studio, Meng Qi was also busy with recruitment matters. As expected of a top student from the Management Department of Huajing University, her efficiency in handling tasks was very high. After Lu Li handed over the recruitment task to Meng Qi, on the second day, Meng Qi contacted a security company to recruit several security personnel to be responsible for the company's safety issues and also added a security department to the original organizational structure set by Lu Li.

  Meng Qi then posted recruitment information through newspapers and online recruitment channels, and set an interview three days later.

  Meng Qi had also invited Lu Li to attend an interview and vet the people who came for it, but Lu Li directly refused.

  Such things can be left to Meng Qi who is in charge of learning management, there's no need for oneself to join the fray. If one intervenes in every matter, they will surely end up exhausted again.

  Meng Qi also successfully held recruitment interviews and recruited more than 10 people with relatively strong abilities. Currently, except for the Engineering Department, Artist Department, and Resource Integration Department, all other departments have one or two people, with the Customer Service Public Relations Department having the most with 5 people, which is much better than when I first arrived.

  Meng Qi also drafted a job description for each department based on the previous work functions provided by Lu Li, and distributed them to each department to let new recruits familiarize themselves with their positions and quickly get to work.

  Half a month later, after Lu Li finished decorating the recording studio, he came to Bieyuan Entertainment Company again and found that there were more people. First of all, as soon as he entered, he could see the security personnel and several beautiful women at the front desk, which made Lu Li feel much more comfortable.

  As soon as he entered the office, there were already many people inside, all with their heads down at their desks, busy with something. The company had just started out, and all employees were in a large office room, so Lu Li saw this scene as soon as he walked in.

  Meng Qi saw Lu Li come in, stood up and clapped his hands to introduce him to the crowd: "Everyone stop for a moment, I'd like to introduce our boss Lu Li, everyone welcome, he's the key to our meals."

  Lu Li was slightly taken aback by Meng Qi's teasing, wondering when she had become so good at talking. However, Lu Li didn't know that Meng Qi had studied management and was well-versed in human resources management, which is why she knew how to get close to new employees, resulting in this playful banter.

  "Hello everyone, I'm honored that you've all joined Lì Lí Entertainment and become a part of this big family. The current conditions are a bit tough, so please bear with it for now. Later on, you'll find that joining Lì Lí Entertainment was a very wise decision."

  Meng Qi also introduced new recruits one by one to Lu Li.

  Sun Xinyue, Minister of Creative Planning Department, a 28-year-old urban white-collar woman with more than 5 years of work experience.

  Customer Service Public Relations Minister Xue Wenxuan, a mature woman who has just turned thirty, also has relatively long work experience.

  Minister of Media Promotion Zhang Song, a 35-year-old middle-aged man with a relatively handsome appearance, was said to have worked in an entertainment company in Xiangjiang before returning to Huqing.

  Broker Chen Bing, a young handsome guy, is a newcomer who has just graduated from university.

  Minister of Performing Arts Department Zhou Yuhai is the oldest one, who has already turned forty.

  You Hongyi from the design department is also a newcomer, who has just graduated from Hua Chuan Art College.

  Apart from these people, there are also a few beauties at the front desk, mainly responsible for customer service in the future, under Xue Wenxuan's management.

  After the introduction, Lu Li came to Meng Qi's office desk and asked, looking at Meng Qi who was wearing a professional work attire: "How is the recruitment situation?"

  "It's going relatively smoothly, except for the artist department and engineering department, which haven't recruited anyone yet. All other departments have already recruited personnel and are on the right track. However, I didn't recruit many people, but rather selected a few who were relatively excellent, so we're still short-handed. These people are far from enough compared to a large entertainment company. Additionally, the company currently has no artists or business, so these people are also in a state of having nothing to do."

  Lu Li nodded in agreement, feeling that her thoughts were in sync with Meng Qi's. The recruitment personnel valued quality over quantity, and although Lu Li had a lot of money, she also spent a lot, so she definitely wouldn't waste it on idle people.

  As for the artist department and engineering department not recruiting anyone, Ludi is not surprised. Bie Entertainment has no reputation, so it can't attract people to come, until Bie Entertainment becomes slightly famous, then there will naturally be people willing to come.

  "Alright, for now, let's just leave it at that. It's a good start anyway. You've got the new recruits all ready to go, and there's nothing to do yet, but things will pick up soon." Lu Li said as he headed to the recording studio with Gao Mu.

  "Lao Si, is the recording studio renovation done?" Gao Mu asked when he heard Lu Li calling him to go to the recording studio.

  "Ah, it was completed yesterday and can be put into use now. Let's go try it out today." Lu Li said in response to Takagi's words.

  Takahashi also got somewhat excited upon hearing this.

  Deng Gao Mu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he re-entered the recording studio, saying that although Lu Li had spent a lot of money, it really didn't look bad.

  Only two rooms are separated by a transparent double-glazed window, and the recording studio can be seen from the control room, which is convenient for communication. In the control room, there are two computers, as well as a mixer and sound card and other equipment.

  When Takagi finished turning around and was about to look again, Rukia grabbed Takagi's arm and said, "Alright, the reason I called you here today is to do some composing, so take a good look around later."

  "What's this 'composition' you're talking about?" Kōdai asked in confusion at Rikka's words.

  "Oh, I wrote a song and the recording studio just happened to be renovated, so I thought of recording it before the New Year." Lu Li said in response to Gao Mu's question.

  Although Lu Li said it lightly, Takagi was extremely surprised: "I'm going, didn't you study vocal music and Lao Er study composition? How can you still write songs?"

  Gao Mu was taken aback, and Lu Li pretended to be calm and said, "Well, you wouldn't understand the world of geniuses."

  Looking at Lu Li's pretentious appearance when saying this, Takagi directly kicked him away: "Get out of here, even if you're a genius, don't be so flashy!"

  Takagi wasn't really going to kick Rikuto away, so he let him dodge easily. However, Takagi thought that Rikuto had been busy with recording studio work and updating online content nonstop these past few days, where did he find the time to write songs?

  However, Takagi didn't ask Ruri again, but instead picked up the score that Ruri had written and started to look at it. Ruri had only written a simple melody, without even any lyrics, so Takagi couldn't tell what it was about for the time being.

  After watching, Takagi asked: "What are you going to do? I've never learned composition before."

  "Will the electronic keyboard do? I haven't learned this thing yet, so I called you over to take a look." The company doesn't have professional music producers and arrangers right now, so Lu Li can only grab some non-professionals to use for now.

  "Oh, this one will do, but it's not very familiar, let's take it slow." Takagi nodded in agreement, if it was just playing an electronic keyboard he would be fine.

  "Alright, let's get started. It's like this up front, you need to make these sounds." Lu Li instructed Gao Mu as he took his position in front of the electronic keyboard.

  Takahashi also started making it slowly as Ruri said. It can be seen that Takahashi rarely played electronic keyboards before, so he is not familiar with them, and now he is also exploring little by little.

  The progress of the two was very slow, and by nightfall, they had not completed much. However, Lu Li was not in a hurry either, as it was their first time for both of them, and neither were professionals, so even if they wanted to rush, it would be unrealistic.

  The people at the entertainment company soon discovered that Lu Li came to the company every day and quickly went to the recording studio with Takagi, doing what everyone didn't know, even if someone was curious and wanted to take a look, they were all blocked by Lu Li.

  Finally, after spending over ten days, Lu Li had completed the accompaniment for his first song in this other world. All that was left now was to record the singing.

  "Let's listen first." Takagi also wanted to hear what his first composition sounded like, although he had heard it intermittently several times, but still didn't have a complete concept.

  "Okay, wait till tomorrow and I'll record this song and give everyone a surprise."

  "This tune is so cheerful and celebratory!" Takagi exclaimed unintentionally.

  "Ah, indeed very festive, let's consider this song as a New Year's gift to my book fans who have always supported me." Lu Li also smiled upon hearing this, this song was a classic New Year's song in his previous life.
