"There's nothing wrong with the melody. Since it was originally composed based on He Tong's tune, it's perfect to include it in the album. What do you think?"
"Of course I'd be happy to have He Tong sing." The producer also has his own little temper.
"Of course your music is good. It's been a year since our last collaboration, hasn't it?"
"Yes, this song was originally made for you. Xiao Zhu said he wanted me to make it the title track of Zheng Xu's new album, so I changed it for him."
"It can only be said that what is rightfully mine will still be mine."
He Tong's words made the producer's eyes crinkle with joy.
"Alright, that's settled. He Tong, take the demo and script to the next room to practice. We'll start recording in an hour. Is that alright?"
“OK.” He Tong didn’t delay. At their level, regardless of their strength, time was calculated in monetary terms. Once a deadline was set, they had to do their best, no matter how difficult it was.
Other companies may not be so strict, but at least in this company, laziness and negligence are absolutely not allowed. Once an artist is found to have overstepped the bounds, they will be warned, and if they do not listen, they will be terminated directly, which is decisive and efficient.
Therefore, fans specially made a ranking list, saying that the artists least likely to have their careers collapse are all in their later years, because they will kick each other out before their careers collapse.
"Okay, let's test your vocal range first. Bro, let's go into the recording studio."
"good."
Two hours later, the group sat in the conference room.
"The new song is almost finished, and the dance teacher has already choreographed the dance. Sister Bai, please coordinate the schedule and remember to make time for He Tong to train. I will send another manager to handle Meng Zhilian's daily schedule later, but you will mainly be in charge of managing things, Sister Bai. Is that alright?"
Meng Wan twirled the pen in her hand.
"no problem."
"Brother, your plan is to write the title track for your new album yourself, and then you and Jason will work on the rest together, okay?"
Meng Wan quickly moved on from the topic; she didn't like meetings that could be ended briefly to drag on for hours.
"Okay." This progress has exceeded Meng Zhilian's expectations. He looked at Meng Wan, who was exuding a powerful aura, and felt a strange sense of emotion.
"The company will arrange a dedicated dance instructor and music teacher for you during these three months. In addition to regular classes, you will also undergo a series of artist-related training programs. The time is tight and the task is heavy. Can you accept that?"
"Can."
"But let me state in advance that if the assessment is not up to standard after three months, the debut time will be extended. We will not allow artists with substandard professional skills to embarrass themselves in public in our later years."
She handles matters strictly by the book, showing no leniency even towards her own people. It is precisely because of this that she has established a high level of authority and commands the respect of her subordinates.
"Okay." Influenced by Meng Wan, Meng Zhilian also became more serious.
"Very good, then you can arrange the rest, Sister Bai." With the matter resolved, Meng Wan's tone became more relaxed.
"clear."
"Okay, any other questions?" Meng Wan rested her chin on her hands and glanced at the few people who were silently shaking their heads.
“Since there are no problems, Jason, could you please show my third brother around the company? Also, could you let Xiao Zhu and that new guy in?”
“Okay.” Jason and Meng Zhilian exchanged a glance, knowing that this was no longer their business, and wisely left the meeting room.
"Should I leave?" Although she asked this question, she had no intention of leaving at all.
"Whatever makes you happy, after all, the other party is Xiao Hetong."
Having understood the teasing in Meng Wan's words, He Tong remained even more still.
"Miss Meng, Sister Bai." Xiao Zhu's face showed unconcealed unease, while Zheng Xu, standing to the side, looked disdainful, one leg shaking, and he didn't stand properly.
"If you keep shaking it, I don't mind breaking it first. Don't worry, I'll put it back together after we finish talking."
Meng Wan didn't go along with him. Her casual remark and half-smile inexplicably made Zheng Xu swallow hard, awkwardly touching his nose, and unconsciously pulling his leg back.
"Sit down." Meng Wan slightly raised her head, her casual movement inexplicably carrying an air of unyielding authority. Zheng Xu wanted to object, but Xiao Zhu tugged at his sleeve.
He clicked his tongue impatiently, but still sat down.
"You said you don't want any songs other than Moon's, right?"
"Of course! No one but Moon is good enough for me!" Zheng Xu put his hands behind his head, tilted his chair slightly, and looked nonchalant, not taking anyone present seriously at all.
He Tong sat opposite him, and seemingly unintentionally raised her long leg, accidentally touching his foot.
Zheng Xu instantly lost his balance.
He cried out in panic and hurriedly grabbed the table. The table shifted slightly with a creak, causing everyone else to frown, but Zheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had grasped at a last straw.
"Sorry, my legs are too long." Seeing Zheng Xu glare at him, He Tong looked innocent, and although he apologized, he didn't seem to feel any remorse.
Zheng Xu gritted his teeth, about to speak, but was interrupted by Meng Wan, while Xiao Zhu had already gotten up and rearranged the table.
"In that case, when was the original debut date?"
"End of the month." Xiao Zhu lowered her head even further.
How long has he been here since he signed the contract?
"Less than a month." Xiao Zhu's voice grew even softer.
"Sister Bai, the company stipulates that newly signed trainees must undergo at least three months of training and pass an assessment before they can leave, right? Or is he an experienced and accomplished artist?"
"Xiao Zhu, what's going on?" Bai Liling's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Xiao Zhu to be so bold as to use his position to make Zheng Xu debut ahead of time!
“He trained for a month and already had a certain number of fans online, so I…”
"Xiao Zhu, how long have you been with the company? You joined right after graduating from university, right?" Meng Wan tapped the table, but it felt like she was tapping on Xiao Zhu's heart.
She stood up and looked at Bai Liling for help.
Bai Liling was filled with disappointment. Xiao Zhu was someone she had personally mentored. She was down-to-earth, hardworking, meticulous, and organized, which won her her favor. So she consciously cultivated her into a new top agent, but she never expected that Xiao Zhu would take advantage of her trust and openly abuse her power!
"Sister Bai, this is a dereliction of duty on your part." Meng Wan's words were devoid of any personal emotion.
"Yes, I will register with the HR department." Bai Liling's bonus was deducted this month, and she felt it was fair.
"We'll deal with Xiao Zhu's matter later. Zheng Xu, right?" Meng Wan flipped through the information about Zheng Xu in her hand.
"I'll give you three options. First, go back to training until you pass the assessment before debuting, and accept the company's arrangements."
Zheng Xu was already getting restless at just the first option. He suddenly stood up, but Meng Wan remained calm and gave him a cold look.
"If you have ADHD, should I take you to the hospital?"
