Chapter 16



In Country M, Qiu Xing was sitting on the sofa in front of the window of the hotel room in his bathrobe, his eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

On the small table next to him, a laptop was quietly running. On the computer screen, a long picture that the marketing account had made to smear Jie Yang was enlarged, and a photo of Jie Yang staring blankly into space with an expressionless face occupied most of the screen.

"Boss." He Jun stood three steps away from Qiu Xing and said hesitantly, "Do you need me to contact the PR team?"

"No need." Qiu Xing raised his hand to support his forehead, his tone was unexpectedly calm and peaceful, so calm that it was a little weird, "He is not my relative, why should I rush to help him solve his problems."

He Jun tried his best not to look at the cup that Qiu Xing had just smashed on the carpet, and tactfully handed over the ladder: "But Mr. Xie is cooperating with you after all. If he continues to be deeply involved in negative news, it will be a problem for you-"

"Cooperation?" Qiu Xing smiled strangely, his tone was indifferent, showing some perfunctory attitude of losing interest in something, "It's just a little toy for fun. Does anyone else know about my cooperation with him? What effect can his insignificant energy have on me? Okay, go and have a rest."

He Jun wasn't sure whether he was telling the truth or just saying it out of anger, so he guessed based on his previous habits. He didn't dare say anything more, bent down to pick up the broken cup on the ground, and said goodbye and left.

The door closed and the room became quiet.

The coldness on Qiu Xing's face quickly faded. He put his hands down, sat up straight and looked at the computer screen. His eyes were fixed on Jie Yang's dazed face for three minutes. Suddenly, he reached out and forcefully closed the computer cover, angrily saying, "Aren't you very capable? Why do you look so stupid? Don't you pay for a team? Don't you ask others if you don't have experience? Are you just going to let people bully you like this?"

He took out his cell phone again, opened the chat box with Jie Yang and looked at it again and again, and even received the one-yuan red envelope that he had not received before, but there was still no new message.

"You were very skilled at lying before, why are you silent this time?!"

After he calmed down, he raised his hand to press his dizzy head, suddenly laughed at himself, released all the strength in his body, sank into the soft sofa, closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing.

"I don't have that much energy..." He put his hands on the armrest of the sofa, the fatigue and illness on his face slowly disappeared, and his fingers gradually loosened, "If you don't beg me, I won't help you."

With a muffled thud, the phone fell onto the carpet.

The next second, there was a ding-dong sound and the phone screen lit up - a new message came in.

The day after the popularity of IUD exploded, Wen Yi sent a notice to Hu Biao, asking him to bring all IUD members to the company for a meeting at the agreed time, with a very tough attitude.

Hu Biao sent a text message to inform everyone about the meeting, then rushed to meet up with Jie Yang, and set off for Wenyi together with Jie Yang.

Halfway through the journey, Xie Yang took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Qiu Xing. After sending the message, he belatedly remembered the time difference, closed WeChat and started checking Weibo instead.

He thought that it would take at least a few hours to receive a reply to the message he sent to Qiu Xing, but he didn't expect that Qiu Xing would reply in less than half a minute.

Xie Yang: Are you free? I have something to ask of you.

Qiu Xing: What’s the matter?

Xie Yang was surprised and asked: You haven’t slept yet?

Qiu Xing: Stop talking nonsense, what’s the matter?

He is so irritable, was he woken up from his sleep?

Xie Yang made it short: I have my eyes on a violin, but that violin is only sold in Country M. I would like to ask if you are free. If you are free, could you bring one back for me?

After a long silence.

Qiu Xing: Are you bothering me with such trivial matters?

Xie Yang admitted his mistake: Sorry, I didn’t notice the time difference between us. Did I wake you up?

There was silence for a long, long time.

Just when Xie Yang was wondering if Qiu Xing had fallen asleep, Qiu Xing's message came back, and the content was brief and powerful: I'm busy! Can't! Figure it out yourself!

As expected, Qiu Xing was woken up. Look how angry he was.

Jie Yang put down his phone, thought for a moment, picked it up again, and replied to Qiu Xing: Sorry for waking you up, don’t be angry, being angry can easily cause nightmares, good night.

Qiu Xing's side became completely quiet.

The car stopped at Wen Yi's parking lot. Jie Yang put away his phone and got out with Hu Biao. Ke Lan and Tong Jian arrived earlier than them, but did not go upstairs and stayed in the parking lot waiting for them.

After the four of them met up, Tong Jian immediately said, "It seems that Mo Bin has arrived. I saw his car."

Hu Biao was in a bad mood. He walked towards the elevator and said, "No matter if he arrives or not, remember to keep silent when the meeting starts. Don't talk nonsense. If you have anything to say, let Ke Lan or Jie Yang speak for you. Do you understand?"

Tong Jian knew that his mouth was leaking, so he nodded in agreement.

The four of them got on the elevator. Xie Yang observed the elevator floor and asked, "Among the many entertainment companies and brokerage companies in City B, what is the scale of Wen Yi?"

Hu Biao replied: "It's below average. Wen Yi is good at promoting new talents, but it lacks high-end resources, and can't promote top stars, nor can it retain talents. In the past few years, Wen Yi focused on the music business, but it has not been doing so well in recent years. It is slowly transforming and starting to focus on the film and television business."

Xie Yang understood and said, "Then please help me find out where there are office buildings for rent. Just look for one based on Wen Yi's current size."

Everyone in the elevator was stunned, and Tong Jian even uttered "Ah?"

The elevator happened to arrive, so they could only put the topic aside for the time being and walked towards the meeting room.

In the conference room, Mo Bin and Wen Yi's artist management manager Huang Mo had already arrived. Neither of them spoke, and the air pressure in the room was a little low. Seeing Hu Biao and others come in, Huang Mo's expression relaxed a little and he stood up to greet them.

Mo Bin, who was playing with his mobile phone, raised his head when he heard the voice, quickly glanced at Ke Lan and Tong Jian, but did not stand up to say hello. He lowered his head and continued to tap on his phone.

Tong Jian was a little agitated and was suppressed by Ke Lan. Xie Yang noticed that Mo Bin seemed to be checking Weibo.

After the greetings, everyone sat down. Huang Mo got straight to the point and said, "Don't worry about the negative information about Jie Yang on Weibo. The company can help you deal with it. You have done a good job in this wave of popularity. Next, you should concentrate on practicing new songs and prepare well for the fifth anniversary performance. By the way, Mo Bin, I heard that you haven't submitted the finished draft of the new song for the performance. Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Huang Mo tried to put aside the previous incident involving the IUD, which was also a way for Mo Bin to escape.

Hu Biao and others just watched from the sidelines.

Mo Bin knew he had to express his opinion this time after receiving the meeting notice. He locked his phone and replied, "Brother Huang, there are difficulties. I have been busy recently and encountered a bottleneck in the creation of new songs."

Huang Mo smiled and said, "That's fine. If you can't do it, let others do it. If there are too many activities, just stop a few. As the captain of IUD, you should naturally focus on IUD's activities."

Let others do it?

Everyone looked towards Huang Mo.

Mo Bin frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It means that the company now thinks that the new IUD is very popular and worth continuing to cultivate. We want to allocate resources to support you. Mo Bin, it is better to unite than to disperse. The popularity of IUD is hard to come by. If you operate it well, IUD will definitely be able to come back to life."

Resurrection from the dead, a very tempting idea.

Xie Yang looked towards Mo Bin.

Mo Bin also happened to instinctively look in the direction of his old teammate, and his eyes met Jie Yang's. Mo Bin was stunned, while Xie Yang smiled.

Mo Bin tensed up when he saw Jie Yang's smile, looking provoked. He looked away and said, "Brother Huang, IUD has been composing and singing its own songs since its debut. What you just said is that you want us to sing someone else's songs? Isn't this destroying our reputation?"

"How can it be said that the brand has been destroyed? It's just a transformation. Now that IUD has a new team member, there should be a new atmosphere." Huang Mo slowed down his tone and said gently, "Mo Bin, Wen Yi brought you up with all his heart and really wants to train you well. IUD is very popular on Weibo now. Haven't you always wanted to take off again? This is a good opportunity! Look, this is the work of Master Long Shuyou that the company specially asked for for you. With this, you can go back to the old days!"

Nagarjuna?

Xie Yang's heart moved and he looked at the stack of music scores.

The original book is an entertainment industry article with sweet and cute love as the main theme. In the book, the heroine Mu Zhouyi's journey to becoming a god is not only protected by the hero, but also inevitably requires the selfless help and support of a group of high-quality male supporting actors or some senior masters. Long Shuyou is one of them.

Long Shuyou, one of the male supporting characters who deeply loves the heroine, is a lonely and autistic genius composer. He comes from a musical family and is a creative madman who only cares about music and nothing else.

After the heroine used the golden finger to transform her voice, Long Shuyou fell in love with the heroine's voice at first sight, took the initiative to contact the heroine, and released an album for her. The heroine won the Golden Melody Award the following year with this album, which opened the door to the three fields of film, television and music, and her status and popularity reached a new level.

It was also this album that made the villain Qiu Xing completely target the heroine. The heroine's voice after being transformed by the golden finger has a kind of soothing magic. Qiu Xing, who is always suffering from headaches due to illness, hears the heroine's singing by chance and finds that the heroine's singing can relieve his headache symptoms to a certain extent. He is overjoyed and determines to snatch the heroine away from the hero.

A plot very much like a romance novel, and a very troublesome cheat code.

Xie Yang frowned, came back to his senses from his thoughts, and then found that Mo Bin and Huang Mo had started arguing at some point.

"I'm sorry, Brother Huang, even if it's Master Long's work, I won't sing it. The IUD is for four people, not Master Long!" Mo Bin said righteously and solemnly.

Xie Yang interrupted and asked, "Then will you sing the song I composed?"

Mo Bin turned his head to look at Jie Yang, thinking that he was deliberately fanning the flames, and said coldly: "Except for the songs composed by Chen Hao and myself, I will not sing anyone else's songs!"

Huang Mo was irritated by Mo Bin's ignorance and said, "Mo Bin, you are being unreasonable! Why don't you take the opportunity to make IUD popular again? Don't talk to me about principles and IUD's persistence. Your rhetoric can only fool fans! Let's be frank, do you have other plans?"
