at the same time.
After saying goodnight to each other, Lin Yourong stretched and headed towards the restroom.
I peeled off the face mask, threw it in the trash can, washed my face at the sink, and then prepared to go to sleep.
The central air conditioning blew warm air into the double room, making it feel as comfortable as a warm spring day. Sister Ru was already fast asleep on the bed, even emitting soft snores.
Lin Yourong was the main force in the move today, and she was also exhausted from the long journey.
She crawled into bed fully clothed, and the moment her head touched the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
It felt like she had just closed her eyes when a rustling sound quietly entered her ears, stimulating her eardrums.
The sound was initially faint and indistinct, but gradually became clearer.
Her consciousness was in a state between sleep and wakefulness; her eyelids trembled slightly as she tried to open them to see the source of the sound.
However, a heavy drowsiness prevented her from fully waking up.
She suddenly heard the voice rise in pitch—
"It's not up to me to decide... Nine o'clock... Can't we meet again when we get back to Shanghai...?"
Oh.
It was Sister Ru's voice; she seemed to be on the phone.
Lin Yourong originally wanted to ignore everything and sleep a little longer, but when she realized that Sister Ru had already gotten up and was going to rehearse, she had no choice but to force herself to open her eyes.
She fell asleep at the head of the bed, but when she woke up, she found herself at the foot of the bed.
Lin Yourong was already used to this.
She turned over in bed, still half asleep, and reached for her phone on the bedside table. She saw that it was already 7:50 in the morning.
The heavy curtains in the hotel double room were drawn tightly, leaving no gaps, and Sister Ru only turned on her bedside lamp.
The environment was dimly lit.
She felt as if her eyelids were fighting, blinking rapidly.
I didn't get enough sleep, I definitely didn't get enough sleep!
Sister Ru leaned against the headboard, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Lin Yourong. She saw that Lin Yourong was still sleepy and clearly not fully awake.
"Wang Xiang just called me," Sister Ru said softly.
Hearing this, Lin Yourong raised her hand and rubbed her cheek, trying to clear her head: "What's wrong? Did you get photographed again?"
Well……
Could it be that paparazzi took pictures while she was kneading...?
Upon realizing this, Lin Yourong felt her cheeks burning hot.
If this gets exposed and makes the news...
Then she'll stop being human!
"No," Sister Ru shook her head, somewhat speechless, "Your album is already a hit before it's even released, and now Canwen wants to sign you to a record deal. Wang Xiang asked me to give him an answer before nine o'clock this morning."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
It's good that no embarrassing scenes were captured on camera.
She sat up, frowned, and said in a slightly grumpy voice, "I'm just getting out of bed."
"The management contract and the record deal were both signed with Canwen. Isn't that the kind of full contract they initially wanted to sign with me? Besides, isn't Wang Xiang in charge of public relations? What does this have to do with him!"
“Oh my sister,” Sister Ru explained, “Wang Xiang has now been promoted to executive vice president! He’s the chairman’s son, so Canwen is like his backyard; he can manage whatever he wants.”
"Isn't the album sales revenue split 40/60? Canwen wants 60%, and they get half of the music copyright revenue! I don't owe Canwen anything."
Lin Yourong yawned and said with dissatisfaction:
"They don't even have a professional recording studio, yet they want my record deal. This album's success is all thanks to my husband's song!"
wrong--
Lin Yourong blushed and quickly covered her mouth.
In front of her, Sister Ru always addressed Yu Huan as "your husband, your husband"—
Why did it just slip out all of a sudden?!
She secretly glanced at Sister Ru and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sister Ru didn't react much.
wrong--
He's my husband all along!
“That’s right, the money comes from the sheep!” Sister Ru chimed in, “Wang Xiang initially wanted me to play the emotional card with you, saying how much Canwen invested in your album and so on! But I was the one who found the recording studio and the arranger. I’m the one who owes him a favor so that the album could be made so quickly. Did I say anything?”
As Sister Ru spoke, she became more and more agitated, slamming her fist on the pillow beside her, looking indignant: "Isn't this just taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"
She's like someone who's physically in Cao's camp but mentally in Han's, completely forgetting that she's actually an excellent employee of Canwen.
Lin Yourong asked, "Wang Xiang didn't mention the music copyright of 'It', did he?"
"Susu, you absolutely must keep the copyright to this song in your own hands!" Sister Ru said solemnly. "I feel like you could sing this song for the rest of your life! Besides, your husband is so talented, he has no shortage of good songs. Don't give the record deal to Canwen, lest you end up not even being able to sing your own songs."
Lin Yourong seemed to be deep in thought.
Sister Ru got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, stood up, stretched, and continued, "I already had some unpleasantness with Wang Xiang. If we sign a full contract, he can use tricks to prevent you from accepting gigs or releasing albums, otherwise it will be illegal, and then there will be no one to reason with."
Lin Yourong nodded upon hearing this, knowing full well that what Sister Ru said was true.
News of artists being sidelined by their companies is common, especially when they have signed full contracts, giving the company absolute control and say over the artist's career path.
Lin Yourong suddenly realized the key issue and frowned, saying, "But didn't he tell you to give me an answer by nine o'clock?"
After a moment's thought, Sister Ru said, "Let's stall for time! We'll figure out a strategy before we argue with him."
She's a master of delaying tactics...
"Damn it, you're dragging me around again!" Wang Xiang angrily raised the landline phone in his hand, almost slamming it to the ground.
I barely managed to suppress the urge. Then I slammed the microphone down on the landline and slumped into my office chair, fuming.
As the morning light streamed through the glass curtain wall, it illuminated the office in minute detail, and also reflected on his hair.
Because too much hair wax was used, strands of hair stuck tightly to the top of the head, making them look extremely greasy.
When he learned that Lin Su had secretly married behind his back, he was so angry that he developed sores on his head and pus oozing from the soles of his feet. He even went into a rage and smashed the public relations manager's office to pieces.
He recalled how, in order to pursue Lin Su, he shamelessly stood downstairs at the music studio every night, just to be able to say a word to her.
Even though she treated him coldly, he never gave up.
After all, the harder a woman is to pursue, the more accomplished one feels once they've won her over.
However, a paparazzi studio suddenly sent him more than fifty photos.
He was supposed to be Wang Jingru's cousin, but damn it, he's actually all lovey-dovey with Lin Su!?
The aloof goddess in his heart was actually acting like a little woman behind the scenes, helping that man get dressed.
They were hugging and embracing each other.
She even sat on that man's lap in broad daylight, without any gap between them.
These photos were like a knife to Wang Xiang's heart; he felt as if his heart was bleeding.
Her cheeks were green with embarrassment, and she comforted herself, thinking that if they were just boyfriend and girlfriend, then she couldn't blame her.
After all, who doesn't have an ex?
After calling Wang Jingru and interrogating her, he learned some news that was even more devastating.
Oh shit!
Lin Su actually got a marriage certificate with this man!
He thought it over and over, and concluded that if it were Lin Su, then a second marriage wouldn't be unacceptable...
But that man was just too handsome.
He was so handsome that he felt a little inferior.
He felt that if he didn't use any means, he probably wouldn't have any chance at all.
Enraged, he vandalized the office to vent his anger. He was about to make a phone call, ready to destroy her if he couldn't have her.
But at that moment, her biological father came from the chairman's office after hearing the news.
After learning the details, she seriously warned him that Lin Su's parents both worked in the system and should be supported by the company. She said he had to be careful in dealing with her and should not offend her easily.
His father's taboo attitude puzzled him.
He later investigated Lin Su's family background, initially assuming she was the daughter of a high-ranking official, but the result made him scoff.
Lin Ma's parents were only at the division-level, at most the children of cadres.
After making a bet with the TV station and co-producing this phenomenal, nationwide hit program, they signed a contract with them, becoming deeper partners. Now, even the director of the provincial TV station is a close friend of his father.
His father frequented this government office or that government office. He only had one child, the son of a government official. Was it really necessary?
Sitting behind his desk, Wang Xiang's face was gloomy.
He had long seen through Wang Jingru; she worked at Canwen but betrayed the company and never considered its interests.
What angered him even more was that she had colluded with Lin Suhang to oppose the company.
Previously, no matter how much he pleaded and begged, Lin Su refused to give him her private phone number.
We should have realized it much earlier.
This is really unreasonable!
I heard that the management department is considering signing Wang Jingru to a top management contract?
Pooh!
Does she fit too?
Wang Xiang was filled with disdain and anger.
I'm just waiting for nine o'clock. If he doesn't give me a satisfactory answer, then don't blame me for being impolite.
He will take ruthless action, using both kindness and severity to deal with the situation together.
Aside from Lin Su having a bit of a background, so we should keep a low profile.
Especially for Wang Jingru, if she doesn't comply, then there will only be coercion, not kindness.
To more intuitively experience the passage of time, he moved the clock on his desk next to his mouse pad.
The seconds ticked away.
While waiting, he idly used the PC version of QQ to flirt with several female celebrities he had hooked up with in order to pass the time.
He dared not use any crude jokes on Lin Su, but now he was sending them out one after another by typing on the keyboard, feeling that he would definitely make these sluts chatter like a humid spring.
In a flash.
The QQ icon flashed with Wang Jingru's profile picture. He glanced at the desktop clock; it was 8:50. She had replied to him ten minutes early.
well.
He clicked the mouse lightly.
The pop-up chat interface made him instantly change color.
I couldn't help but slam the mouse down on the desktop.
"Mr. Wang, Lin Su and I have discussed it. We'll talk about it in detail after we return to Shanghai following the New Year's celebrations."
He looked at the message and was furious.
He picked up the landline phone, muttering to himself, "Damn it, they still want to celebrate the New Year?"
He immediately dialed the affairs department and took action!
