Xiao Qingfeng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became tense, with Zhang Qingchen and Han Ruoruo both looking nervous.
“Someone is willing to give us money, what’s there to be nervous about?” Xiao Qingfeng said slowly.
Xue Zhenqian frowned and said, "That's true, but these well-known companies value the popularity of our program and hope to enhance their brand awareness and influence through sponsorship. If we refuse or show favoritism, they may feel slighted and think we don't know what's good for them."
Han Ruoruo nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, capital often has extensive connections and resources. If we offend them, they may trip us up in many ways. For example, they might suppress our publicity channels and reduce the exposure of our program; or they might spread unfavorable rumors about us in the industry and affect our reputation."
Zhang Qingchen continued, "Furthermore, not accepting sponsorship from investors might deter other companies interested in collaborating. They might worry that we are too picky or difficult to work with, and thus choose to invest in other programs. This could severely limit the future development of our program."
Xue Zhenqian sighed, "Sigh, this is really a difficult problem. We have to consider the quality and independence of the program, but we can't easily offend the capital. Lao Xiao, you'd better think of a solution."
Xiao Qingfeng appeared confident and laughed, "What's there to think about? No matter which company comes to us, we'll tell them it's 50 million per phase. If they agree, we'll cooperate; if not, then forget it!"
"Furthermore, you can tell them directly that a mysterious bigwig is already preparing to exclusively sponsor the project. The meaning is very clear: we are not afraid of them pulling any tricks behind our backs!"
Xue Zhenqian nodded: "That's true. You're now part of the General Art Troupe, with a big shot protecting you. It's not exactly a lie. Alright, leave this to me. I'll definitely handle it perfectly for you."
"Okay, I've taught you this. I'll definitely give you a big red envelope when you make money!" Xiao Qingfeng said with a smile.
Xue Zhenqian replied, "Forget about the red envelope. You promised to write me a song, so hurry up. I'm planning to show off my singing on 'Masked Singer'."
“I used to sing when I participated in music variety shows, but now they've asked me to host this, which is really driving me crazy. My fans and friends aren't happy about it, you know?”
Xiao Qingfeng joked, "Oh, our Lao Xue still has fans urging him to release a new song. I didn't expect that."
Xue Zhenqian's eyes widened in anger as he glared fiercely at Xiao Qingfeng: "What do you mean? Does being a superstar give you the right to look down on people? Does being a superstar give you the right to disregard us singers?"
As Xue Zhenqian spoke, he winked at Zhang Qingchen and Han Ruoruo.
Seeing that Han Ruoruo and Zhang Qingcheng ignored him, Xue Zhenqian decided to provoke them directly, saying, "You two, say something! Does he look down on us?"
Han Ruoruo laughed and said, "Teacher Xue, we can't help you with this. Teacher Xiao is not only a superstar, he's also our boss. How could we dare to do that!"
Although Zhang Qingchen has always maintained a cool and aloof image, she couldn't help but smile at this moment: "That's right, Teacher Xiao is our boss. We don't want to be terminated right after signing the contract. Teacher Xue, we can't stand on your side."
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhenqian deflated like a punctured balloon and shook his head helplessly.
He spread his hands, looking miserable, and said, "Hey, you two ungrateful bastards. I was counting on you to stand up for me, but instead, you all sided with your boss."
"I'm so miserable. I, Xue Zhenqian, am a person of some standing, and I have a place in the music industry. Now, I've been so heartlessly abandoned by the two of you."
He paused, then looked at Xiao Qingfeng, "Old Xiao, look at you, you've scared these two kids so much they don't dare stand on the side of justice anymore. All I asked you to do was write a song, do you have to bully me like this?"
Xue Zhenqian scratched his head helplessly and continued, "My fans are urging me to sing, and I'm anxious too. You know, as a singer, I can't just keep not singing. Although hosting is quite interesting, I still feel restless and want to sing."
He walked over to Han Ruoruo and Zhang Qingchen, trying to win them over again.
"Aren't you two really going to consider helping me out? Just think, if I could showcase my singing talent on 'Masked Singer,' wouldn't that be amazing? You could both benefit from it too."
Seeing that the two remained unmoved, Xue Zhenqian completely lost his temper.
"Alright, alright, I see now, I'm all alone. Old Xiao, you're amazing, you're a superstar and a boss now, I can't beat you. But don't forget the song you promised me, or I'll never forgive you."
After saying that, he sat down angrily to the side, looking like a resentful woman confined to her boudoir.
Although Xue Zhenqian was still angry, he quickly composed himself and got up to deal with the sponsor's matters.
He straightened his clothes and waved to Xiao Qingfeng and the others: "Hmph, I'll go deal with those sponsors. I'll settle accounts with you when I get back."
After saying that, he strode out of the conference room.
Only Xiao Qingfeng, Han Ruoruo, and Zhang Qingchen remained in the conference room.
Xiao Qingfeng looked at the two artists and said with a smile, "Alright, let's discuss the songs you'll be singing next time."
Han Ruoruo and Zhang Qingchen exchanged a glance, both showing expectant expressions.
Xiao Qingfeng pondered for a moment and began to analyze: "Ruoruo, your style is quite unique. Last episode's 'Itch' caused a great sensation. Next episode, we can consider changing to a more distinctive song that can showcase your vocal characteristics and bring a new surprise to the audience."
Han Ruoruo listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
Then, Xiao Qingfeng looked at Zhang Qingchen: "Qingchen, your singing voice is clear and ethereal, and very infectious. We can choose a song with delicate emotions to make your strengths stand out even more."
Just as they were having a heated discussion, Xiao Qingfeng's phone suddenly rang.
Xiao Qingfeng looked down and saw that it was Mi Qi'er calling.
Because Xiao Qingqing wasn't hiding from Zhang Qingchen and Han Ruoruo, the two of them immediately saw the incoming call display on Xiao Qingqing's phone screen.
At that moment, Han Ruoruo and Zhang Qingchen involuntarily looked at each other, and while Xiao Qingfeng went out to answer a phone call, the two quickly huddled together.
"Do you think Xiao Qingfeng and Mi Qi'er are talking about it?"
Zhang Qingchen whispered, "How would I know? But the boss said he was going to give Miqi'er cosmetics in front of everyone. I just don't know if he actually did!"
Han Ruoruo said with a grin, "The boss is handsome and rich, so there must be a lot of people who like him. But it seems that apart from the rumors with Xia Luan, he doesn't have any other rumors. That's too unbelievable."
"Ding ding"
"Ding ding"
Just then, both phones rang simultaneously, and the two men picked them up and exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiao Qingfeng, the rising king of the music scene, meets with goddess Luo Qingchuan in Fuzhou at night."
A single push notification instantly went viral across the internet!
