Chapter 44 - 43: Natural Changes 1



When Harrison Clark got home, Carrie Thomas wasn’t there.

Carrie Thomas was even more restless than Harrison Clark; as long as there was an opportunity, she would not stop moving forward.

She wanted to make the accompaniment for “A Dull Life” perfect but she was limited by her current lack of funds, so she came up with a way: she would learn the instruments that might be used in the accompaniment by herself, and then complete the music as much as possible with her own ability.

For every instrument she could play herself, she could save some money. When Harrison Clark heard her idea, he was quite shocked.

There are as many as sixteen instruments used in the accompaniment of “A Dull Life.”

Although many of the instruments are just embellishments, given Carrie Thomas’s compulsive pursuit of perfection, she definitely won’t stop at the surface when learning these instruments.

Even if there are only a few notes, she will have to master the instrument thoroughly.

Harrison Clark admires her crazy determination, but stops at admiration.

It’s absolutely impossible for him to learn with the same passion as Carrie Thomas.

In the evening, Harrison Clark received two phone calls one after another.

One was from Adam Martin, who had signed the contract, and the commercial performance went smoothly.

To thank Harrison Clark for making an important concession at the critical moment, allowing him and Jenny Hart to successfully win a new contract for Chesterton Apartment, they wanted to treat him to dinner.

The other call was from Heery George, whose reason was more or less the same. Perhaps the keen Heery George sensed something from Adam Martin and Jenny Hart’s emphasis on Harrison Clark and wanted to personally test the depth of this ex-employee.

After considering for a few seconds, Harrison Clark decided to reject Heery George’s invitation.

He had worked at Chesterton Apartment for more than half a year, but he had never had a conversation with Heery George, the big boss, in private.

As for dinner, it was even more of an extravagant hope.

After all, the difference between their past statuses was too great, and they were people from two different worlds with no intersection.

To be honest, when Harrison Clark received Heery George’s invitation, he felt a little secretly pleased and self-satisfied in his heart.

The once big boss, who used to pass by him without even bothering to take an extra glance, was now actively calling him and wanting to treat him to dinner.

He began to experience the feeling of a higher level of life.

Because he could write songs, Jenny Hart and Adam Martin had to look at him differently.

Because of Jenny Hart and Adam Martin, Heery George had to pay attention to him now.

The days when Linden Brown could oppress him were gone forever.

Harrison Clark began to feel more and more the benefits of his dream, the changes and impact on his life.

This was the taste of social status, very real.

But he successfully restrained this pleasure, saying that he had arrangements for today, thanking Heery George for his kindness, and that they would meet another time when he was free.

Before leaving, Harrison Clark checked the status of his song “Boring” online. It had only been one day, and the total listening number has exceeded 3 million, with over 300,000 paid downloads, making it unbeatable on the new song charts.

In addition to No. 1 Fly’s platform, the popularity of this song on many other public platforms is still increasing.

Harrison Clark also saw complaints on a well-known music TV presenter’s Twitter.

Apparently, the program wanted to invite Carrie Thomas for a TV interview partly to uncover her mysterious veil and also to help promote her new song.

But Carrie Thomas refused without hesitation, which made the host feel very hurt and baffled, and even vented about it on Twitter.

Harrison Clark wasn’t surprised at all.

Compared to these forced promotions, Carrie Thomas would definitely rather spend her time on making music.Being on TV and attending events can indeed bring more fame, which might help sell more songs and make more money.

But, in Carrie Thomas’s mind, if she became more skilled, sang better and wrote more captivating songs, couldn’t she earn more money as well?’

Anyway, with her mindset, learning and practicing music and attempting to create better music is her top priority.

Jenny Hart and the other person were still waiting. Harrison Clark quickly changed his shoes, opened the door, and realized Carrie was standing at the entrance.

He had no idea what she was doing, mumbling something like a chant under her breath, but she didn’t come in.

Upon seeing Harrison, she immediately asked, “Hey, where are you going?” Harrison answered, “I’m going out to eat with Jenny Hart. I’m planning to sell ‘Deep in the Night’ to her.”

“Oh.”

Carrie seemed slightly disappointed but quickly cheered up. “Actually, I really like this song, but I can’t always rely on you. I should write songs myself. I’ll see if I can follow up with a piece in the same style.”

Harrison knew it would be this way. “Don’t worry, you definitely can. Oh, I saw online that a TV station asked you for promotion. Why didn’t you go?”

Carrie shook her head vigorously. “Not going. It’s annoying.”

Harrison asked, “But… aren’t we short on money?”

Came nodded, “Yeah, so I’m learning instruments, right? Once I learn all these instruments, it’ll save a lot of money. Saving money is making money! Just now, I was remembering the saxophone rhythm I learned today. The saxophone melody you added before the chorus is a masterpiece.”

Harrison thought to himself, this was as expected.

He asked again, “Do you want to have dinner together? I can introduce you to Jenny Hart.”

“No, I’m not selling songs, why do I need to know so many people? I don’t really like Jenny Hart’s songs, they’re pretty mundane.”

As expected, Carrie still refused.

Harrison took a taxi through half of the city and arrived at a famous commercial district in the center of Oxfordshire.

Next to this commercial district, there was a European-style back alley.

Contrary to the bustling commercial area, this street was quite deserted, with only a few people coming and going occasionally.

Harrison had heard of this place but didn’t dare to come before.

Although it doesn’t seem crowded, it’s well-known that the shops on this street don’t rely on foot traffic to make money.

What they want is a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

More than eighty percent of Oxfordshire’s top private kitchens, small bars, and various private clubs are located here.

Harrison looked around and arrived at the entrance of a two-story house with closed doors, hesitating if this was the place.

The door suddenly opened, and a person walked out, “Sir, are you looking for someone?”

This person must be a waiter, wearing gold-bordered uniforms and a small hat.

Harrison thought for a moment; this question was difficult to answer.

He didn’t know who Adam Martin had booked the reservation under, and he wasn’t sure if the celebrity used their real name.

There were many considerations for celebrities to go out for dinner, and Harrison, unfamiliar with these customs, had difficulty dealing with them.

Seeing him not speaking, the waiter put on a very professional smile devoid of emotions, Well, if it’s nothing, please don’t loiter in front of our door. We only serve guests by appointment and are not open to the public.”

At that moment, a tall figure with a charming fragrance brushed past the waiter.

“Mr. Clark, you’re here! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Jenny and I were worried that you got stuck in traffic.”

Yes, it was Adam Martin, not some tall, beautiful woman..
