Chapter 14



Xie Yang asked Qiu Xing to borrow a Century membership again. Qiu Xing did not reply to his message, but a few minutes later He Jun called and said that the private room had been arranged.

Xie Yang thanked him, and after hanging up the phone, he sent the box number to Hu Biao, Ke Lan and Tong Jian and asked them to talk.

Hu Biao rushed over in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Hu Biao sat on the big sofa in the middle of the reception room, looking at the three rebellious brothers lined up opposite him, "Explain to me one by one! Tong Jian, come first!"

Tong Jian straightened his back nervously, glanced at Ke Lan, then at Jie Yang, and replied: "That's it. Brother Lan and I don't want Yang Yang to take the blame for the breakup of the group. He's still young..."

"But he has big ideas!" Hu Biao slammed the sofa, his anxiety and surprise turned into raging anger, "I was in front of you contacting the company, the media, and comforting the fans, but you guys got together and made trouble behind my back. How can this be justified!"

Xie Yang interrupted, "Brother Biao, do you know why you can never become a first-class agent and be valued by the company?"

Hu Biao raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"

"The reason is that you can't control your temper, and your thoughts are too kind and naive. You look fierce, but you actually have the temperament of a Buddha, always thinking about saving all living beings."

"...Ahem." Tong Jian suppressed his smile with difficulty.

“…”

Hu Biao was furious: "Jie Yang!"

Xie Yang felt that Hu Biao's current state was not conducive to communication. He turned his head to look at Ke Lan who was sitting on the single sofa, and motioned him to go and comfort Hu Biao.

Ke Lan nodded, stood up and sat next to Hu Biao.

The waiter brought up tea, snacks and fruits. Xie Yang called Tong Jian aside, and while eating fruit, he showed Tong Jian a few prepared songs and asked him to pick one.

Tong Jian was extremely surprised: "You want to give me a song?"

"Well, I'm going to take advantage of the popularity of the fifth anniversary of IUD and release a single for you."

Tong Jian was so excited that he reached out to hug Jie Yang: "Yang Yang, you are so——"

"Try to touch me."

Tong Jian braked in time, and pounced on the music instead, shaking his head and saying, "I won't touch it, I won't touch it, Yangyang, you eat slowly, I'll take a look at the music first."

Xie Yang relaxed his defensive hands, picked up a piece of honeydew melon and put it into his mouth.

Half an hour later, Hu Biao finally calmed down and came with Ke Lan to find Jie Yang and Tong Jian.

Tong Jian has already selected the song. Although he is stubborn in dealing with people, he is very sensitive and professional in singing. Among several songs, he picked the one that best suits his voice and style, and Xie Yang was very satisfied.

Hu Biao walked up to Xie Yang, his expression serious and solemn, and asked, "Xie Yang, are you really planning to start a company?"

Xie Yang nodded.

Hu Biao asked sharply: "What capital do you have to start a company?"

It was impossible to discuss the work with Hu Biao. Xie Yang took out the black card from his wallet and said, "There are 200 million in it."

“…”

Hu Biao scratched his ears and asked, "How much did you say?"

"Two hundred million."

Hu Biao looked at him speechless.

Xie Yang painted a big picture in earnest: "Brother Biao, now the artists are ready, the start-up capital is ready, and I can also create the resources to promote the artists myself. We have also had a relationship with you for several years and we believe in you. If you come to me, you will be a veteran of the company and you can succeed without doing anything."

Hu Biao was deeply moved, but...

Ke Lan's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and looked at it, then raised his head and said, "Chen Hao sent me a message. He said he bought a plane ticket for tonight and will be in City B tomorrow. He asked where we should meet."

Xie Yang looked at Hu Biao.

Ke Lan and Tong Jian also looked at Hu Biao.

"...You bunch of bastards!" Hu Biao let out a fierce breath and gritted his teeth, "I'll do it! I brought you up, and I'll lead you to fight again!"

Tong Jian cheered and exchanged palms with Ke Lan.

Xie Yang also smiled and patted Hu Biao on the shoulder: "You won't regret it."

The four of them sat down on the big sofa in the living room again, and Hu Biao analyzed the situation for everyone: "The company wants to keep the IUD. Now Mo Bin is causing trouble. The company is actually very unhappy. We have talked to him several times and even stopped several of his activities. But Mo Bin just plays dumb, and no one can do anything about him."

Ke Lan calmly speculated: "He may have already found a new employer, otherwise he wouldn't be so reckless."

Hu Biao nodded sadly, "Yes, that's my guess. I was worried about your development before and didn't want IUD to break up, so I was restrained in everything and didn't dare to force Mo Bin too much, fearing that he would really leave. But now... I just want to ask, do you really want to disband the group?"

Ke Lan and Tong Jian looked at each other, and Ke Lan replied: "Brother Biao, the IUD can't be intact anymore, so it's better to just break it up. Besides, Jie Yang is still young, he's so outstanding, he shouldn't be dragged down by us."

"I understand." Hu Biao said in a serious tone, "Tong Jian, Ke Lan, I suggest you tell the company in advance about not renewing your contract. After all, this is the company that helped you debut. You should leave some room for them so that you can meet again in the future. As for Jie Yang... just wait until they have finished discussing not renewing the contract with the company, and then you can take the opportunity to terminate the contract. I will talk to the company then, and they won't force you to stay."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Biao."

Hu Biao shook his head, looking very disappointed and bitter, and sighed: "How come the IUD was scattered in my hand?"

Tong Jian and Ke Lan fell silent.

"Anyway, you should be mentally prepared." Hu Biao quickly cheered up and continued to analyze, "Even if you have torn your relationship with Mo Bin, there will definitely be a public opinion war in the future. Also, if you don't renew the contract and Mo Bin makes such a fuss, the company will most likely cancel your fifth anniversary performance. At that time-"

"I will personally pay for a memorial concert for IUD when the time comes."

Hu Biao looked at Jie Yang, and the last trace of his worry disappeared. He slapped his thigh heavily and said, "I feel relieved with your words! When Chen Hao comes back tomorrow, you can concentrate on preparing for the performance. I will help you with other things!"

Rongding.

Qiu Xing closed his laptop and frowned as he looked at the fish feed in front of him.

He Jun looked at him hesitantly.

Qiu Xing slowly reached out his hand, put some fish feed on it, and brought it to his lips.

He Jun stepped forward: "Boss, don't--"

Qiu Xing closed his eyes and put his fingers into his mouth. After two seconds, he turned his head and spat out all the fish feed. He took the water He Jun brought over and rinsed his mouth. He said disdainfully, "What's so delicious about this? It's like remembering the bitter past and thinking about the sweet past... Which normal person would eat this? Is the Xie family so poor that they feed their children fish feed?"

He Jun tactfully didn't respond.

Qiu Xing became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He opened the computer again, turned on the screen, and looked at the surveillance footage of Xie Yang discussing something with Hu Biao and others. He tapped the desktop quickly and ordered, "Go, ask Manager Century to send them some food. Send them anything delicious. Give these country bumpkins who eat fish feed some knowledge!"

He Jun: “…”

A day later, Xie Yang received compensation for the previous line failure - a large pile of various snacks. He looked at the attentive manager and asked, "Is this really compensation?"

The manager replied firmly: "Of course, we are really sorry for giving you a bad dining experience last time."

Xie Yang silently glanced at the four corners of the reception room, collected his snacks, sent the manager out, took out his mobile phone and sent Qiu Xing a one-dollar red envelope, with the note: Do not eavesdrop or peek.

Bang!

Qiu Xing placed his phone upside down on the table.

After discussing the business, Hu Biao offered to treat everyone to dinner, but Xie Yang declined.

Hu Biao was puzzled: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You are already a senior in college, and you don't have many classes at school. You are alone... Wait, are you in a relationship?"

"No." Just got married.

Hu Biao felt relieved and said a few more words to him, but when he saw that he really couldn't keep him, he let him go.

There was some traffic jam on the way back. Although Jie Yang started his return journey before five o'clock, by the time the car entered the gate of the community, the clock hand still ruthlessly jumped to seven o'clock.

Wu Shui blamed himself: "It's all my fault. If I had taken a detour, it would have been better."

"You can't predict the traffic jam—wait, Qiu Xing hasn't left yet."

In front of me, the car that Qiu Xing was riding in was slowly driving out from the fork in the road. Wu Shui perked up and quickly turned the steering wheel towards Qiu Xing's car.

The two cars met in the middle of the road and then pulled over to the side of the road. Xie Yang picked up the snacks he had brought back from the club, walked to Qiu Xing's car door, bent down and knocked on the window.

The car window slid down, revealing Qiu Xing's cold face.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Yang held up the snack box in his hand: "I packed this for you. I asked the waiter, and he said that the ingredients are very fine, and even people who need to avoid certain foods can eat it directly."

Qiu Xing didn't even bother to look at him and said, "No." Then he was about to roll up the car window.

Xie Yang quickly threw the snacks in.

Qiu Xing's face darkened: "I already said no—"

"This counts as having dinner with you." Xie Yang stepped back and waved, "Have a safe journey, and come back early."

"...Tsk, just perfunctory."

Qiu Xing held the snacks in his hands, straightened his cuffs, and said, "I will be staying in Country M and Country Y for a few days each on this business trip. I may bring back some local specialties... Is there anything you want?"

Liu Sha, who was on a business trip with Qiu Xing, turned her head and glanced at Qiu Xing when she heard this.

Xie Yang asked: "Are you going to bring me a gift? Can you just cash it in?"

"..." Qiu Xing raised his face to the car window with a gloomy face, causing Zhou Miao to spray exhaust fumes in Li Yang's face.

The next afternoon, Xu Chenhao landed in City B in a low-key manner and met with Jie Yang at Century.

Xu Chenhao's appearance is not as eye-catching as the other three veteran members of IUD, but he has an outstanding temperament and is easy to talk to. After a brief chat with Jie Yang, he said directly: "I will arrange the place for practicing and recording. After your company is established, I can also join and help you, but I will only work behind the scenes and will not be on stage anymore."

Xie Yang asked, "Have you decided?"

"It's decided." Xu Chenhao smiled lightly. "The hustle and bustle on stage can easily dazzle the eyes. If I stay there all the time, I may never be able to write a good song again. Besides, Tong Jian and the others are still here. I feel very satisfied to watch them do what they like."
