Upon arrival, Meng Wan greeted everyone, washed up, and went back to her room. She drew the curtains, took out her laptop, put on her headphones, and shut herself off from the world.
Separated by a curtain, Meng Zhiyao was fast asleep.
Outside the door, Meng Boqun and three others sat together, all looking tense.
"Zhi Lian is right. We're being too careful with Wan Wan, which only puts a burden on her."
"This can't be rushed; we have to take it one step at a time." Meng Zhili's words made everyone nod in agreement.
"By the way, what's this about the contract you mentioned?"
"I'm performing at a resident concert tonight. An agent wants me to go to their company on Saturday to discuss a collaboration. I've checked, and it's called 'Old Age Entertainment,' which is the company He Tong works for."
He Tong has only been in the industry for five years, but he is already a household name.
“I’ve heard of this company… Besides, this is your dream, so there’s nothing wrong with giving it a shot.”
"What conditions did they offer? We can't be careless about contracts; we have to read every single word carefully." Having been in the business world for many years, Meng Boqun naturally pays more attention to contract matters.
"Currently, they're saying it'll be split 40/60, and they'll cover my four years of university expenses. I'll have to go there to find out the specifics."
Meng Zhilian didn't make it clear, so the three of them naturally assumed that he was number six in the company and number four.
"That makes sense. I've heard that this industry really exploits newcomers, so offering 40% is a bit beyond my expectations."
Meng Zhilian knew that Meng Boqun had misunderstood, but he was afraid that saying more would only make things worse, so he did not explain.
"They even cover your tuition?" Meng Zhili felt something was off.
"Yes, but you have to pay it back after graduation."
This explanation dispelled Meng Zhili's doubts.
"You're an adult now, you can make your own decisions. As long as the contract is fine, don't hurt yourself, do whatever you want."
"Yes, and it's not good to keep taking a break from school like this. It's a rare opportunity, so it's good to take advantage of our youth and try something new." Qin Yi echoed.
Meng Zhili didn't say anything, but simply patted him on the shoulder. The two were twins, and they understood each other's thoughts even without saying a word.
Meng Zhilian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling inexplicably relieved.
"Our family will definitely get better and better."
"Yes, call me superstitious if you want, but I always feel that our family has been getting better and better since Wanwan came back." Qin Yi looked at Meng Boqun, who held her hand without saying a word, but his eyes revealed his certainty.
"Yes, that's why we need to work even harder."
The four, assuming Meng Wan and Meng Zhiyao were asleep, lowered their voices and dispersed. Meng Wan, who had been holding the doorknob, finally let go, placed the empty water glass back on the bedside table, sat back on the bed, and put on her headphones.
The music production page was open on her computer, and the audio was exported just as Meng Wan put on her headphones. She made a note of it and then forwarded it.
"Young Miss, you're still awake? I thought you were too forgetful and had forgotten the song you promised me." The other party replied quickly.
At times like this, Meng Wan really wanted to roll her eyes at He Tong.
He Tong presents a mature, steady, and gentle image in public, but in private he is a sharp-tongued and cunning person. Perhaps he is becoming more unrestrained as he gets older, as his recent interviews have subtly revealed his true nature.
Not only did no one unfollow, but it also attracted a large number of new fans.
Meng Wan thinks: The Chinese entertainment industry is finished.
Fortunately, He Tong was someone she and Bai Liling had mentored. Although he was a bit sharp-tongued, he was also a dedicated worker. He would do his best in any industry, and most importantly, he had no scandals! Surprisingly, he was a very ambitious and career-driven person, so they just let him be.
After all, no one values this profession and his hard-won status and honor more than him.
"12 o'clock, just right."
The subtext is: You're not over the time limit, so shut up.
He Tong, who was resting on set, curled his lips into a smile. Dressed in ancient costume, he looked like an ancient immortal, breathtakingly beautiful. People came and went around him, and the incandescent lights illuminated the night as if it were daytime.
"Teacher He, after the female lead finishes filming this scene, it will be your turn."
"Okay, thank you." He Tong looked at his assistant, a beautiful smile curving his lips, his eyes possessing a gentle quality that seemed to steal one's soul at any moment.
"No...you're welcome." The assistant blushed, but thankfully she was backlit, so her appearance wasn't clearly visible. She didn't dare linger, and after giving her instructions, she hurriedly left, excitedly talking to her lunch buddy.
He Tong looked over after feeling their gazes, and the two immediately looked away, pretending to be busy. He Tong didn't call them out, waved at them, and then turned on her phone.
"I heard the company signed a rich kid as an artist and specifically asked you to compose music for him?"
"They seem to be quite wealthy. Maybe I should consider it."
He Tong's smile widened. "Miss, we've been partners for so many years, you can't just abandon me like that, can you?"
"Nothing is more important than making money. I need to train someone new to take over after you fall from grace, right?"
"Miss, you've bought a quality stock; it will only go up, not down."
Across the screen, Meng Wan clicked her tongue.
"I'm bringing a newcomer over on Saturday. As for that rich kid, let's leave him for now. Sister Li Ling will handle it."
"I also finished filming this Friday, and I'll be going back to record a song on Saturday. See you then, Miss."
After sending the message, He Tong handed his phone to his agent and began to prepare for filming. Meng Wan replied with a perfunctory "OK," then switched pages and opened a document containing a draft contract with the Sun family.
