Song Mai was taken aback, not expecting the other party to have this attitude.
Due to the project's progress, she could only suppress her discomfort and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, are you Shen Xiujing's agent?"
"no."
Hearing the other person's lazy voice, Song Mai's mood suddenly plummeted.
Could it be that I typed it wrong?
"I am Shen Xiujing."
This sentence delighted Song Mai. She hadn't expected to be able to contact him directly, which would surely save her a lot of trouble.
Just as Song Mai introduced himself, Shen Xiujing said calmly, "I know you want me to be your spokesperson, but no artist wants to take the risk if your company's work is suspected of plagiarism."
“I understand, but why don’t we meet in person to discuss this in detail? Perhaps Yunxing Group can offer you a different kind of surprise.”
"I'm afraid there will be no joy, only shock," Shen Xiujing said with a deep laugh, but her tone was no longer as nonchalant as before.
After a moment of contemplation, Song Mai said in a low voice, "I hope you can meet with me. If you still have no idea after understanding the situation, I will definitely respect all your decisions."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone; no one spoke.
Just when Song Mai thought he would refuse her, Shen Xiujing said softly, "The time and place will be sent to you later. You only have half an hour."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Song Mai couldn't help but smile and let out a deep sigh of relief.
Being able to meet the other party is already half the battle won.
The two agreed to meet in a private room at a private restaurant. A tall man, fully armed, pushed open the door and entered. The moment he saw Song Mai, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"I never expected it to be you."
"What a coincidence, we meet again." Song Mai said with a faint smile.
The man in front of me is a rising star, whose endorsement fees alone are enough to make many of his peers in the industry look up to him.
No wonder she was so surprised when she found out last time that she hadn't recognized him.
"Now let me give you a brief introduction." Song Mai began by introducing Yunxing Group's company projects in a very professional manner.
After listening silently, Shen Xiujing straightened up, her expression becoming somewhat serious.
"I am indeed very interested in your company's design concept, but the current situation is too serious. If you are not very confident that the other party has plagiarized, I would not dare to cooperate with you rashly."
Shen Xiujing, being responsible for her fans and influence, naturally needs to be cautious.
Song Mai understood his concerns. After a moment of contemplation, she said in a low voice, "To be honest, we left some marks on the design draft, which is enough to prove that the other party plagiarized."
"You want to wait until the storm gets bigger before publicly proving it?" Shen Xiujing's face held a hint of amusement, her eyes brimming with interest.
"That's exactly right."
Since Song Mai has already decided to cooperate with the other party, she should naturally choose to trust them.
She spoke candidly about the details in the design drawings, trying to persuade the other party.
“It’s really good, and I’m willing to work with you. However, I’m refusing to officially announce my endorsement until you release the details.”
This request was not unreasonable, and Song Mai readily agreed.
She nodded silently and took out a contract: "This is the first draft of the contract we have prepared. If you think it's okay, you can sign it now."
“The specific details of the contract need to be discussed with my studio; it’s not my responsibility personally.” Shen Xiujing didn’t agree directly, but chose a more tactful approach.
"Exactly half an hour. Your sense of time is very accurate." Shen Xiujing glanced at the time, then got up to leave.
After thinking for a moment, he turned his head as he pushed open the door: "By the way, be careful of the steps when you go out this time."
Song Mai smiled helplessly and nodded, watching him leave.
Unexpectedly, the negotiations went so smoothly. She returned to the company with a joyful heart, only to see Chu Yun walking ahead of her.
He had a serious expression, with Liu Jia'er by his side.
After hesitating for a moment, she did not take the initiative to step forward and interrupt their conversation.
Just looking at this scene, she felt inexplicably depressed.
I subconsciously turned my head away, unwilling to continue watching this scene. But my thoughts inevitably drifted away with their conversation, and I walked off into a daze.
“Designer Bai, why aren’t you preparing any projects?” Liu Jia’er noticed her gaze and took the initiative to speak.
Song Mai composed herself and slowly approached the two people.
"I just went out to discuss a collaboration, and everything is going smoothly so far." She didn't reveal all the details, just to be wary of Liu Jiaer making any moves behind her back.
As expected, Liu Jiaer's smile slowly froze, and she asked with a hint of doubt, "What kind of cooperation?"
"Sorry, this is a privacy issue for the project and will be kept confidential for now."
Liu Jiaer sneered: "I didn't expect that Designer Bai, who has only been with the company for a short time, would already be able to lead a project team to carry out the collaboration."
The implication was that Song Mai was recruiting and bribing people within the company.
"These are Master Yun's instructions, and I'm just following them. Does Miss Liu have any better ideas?"
Liu Jiaer turned around awkwardly: "I haven't joined your project team, so I have no right to interfere."
"Since everything is going smoothly, let's prepare for the project's completion as soon as possible," Chu Yunxing interrupted their conversation and spoke in a low voice.
Then, in front of Song Mai and other passing employees, he spoke seriously: "How come I didn't know you were the person in charge designated by the investors?"
Unexpectedly, he showed her no respect, and Liu Jia'er hurriedly replied, "It was my aunt who told me to do this."
"When did it become anyone else's place to decide what's going on in this company?"
This single sentence negates everything Liu Jiaer has done so far.
Watching Chu Yunxing stride into the elevator, Liu Jia'er turned to Song Mai, her anger and embarrassment rising: "Are you satisfied now?"
Song Mai shrugged: "This is Master Yun's idea, what does it have to do with me?"
Liu Jia'er clenched her fists, turned around and left in a fit of anger and embarrassment.
As soon as I walked into the company's underground parking lot, I saw Song Xingchen's furtive figure.
She stepped forward and blocked her way, looking down at her: "What are you doing here?"
"I have something to say," Song Xingchen stammered, unwilling to explain directly.
Liu Jiaer sneered: "I know you're here to see A-Xing, but you two have already broken up, so there's no need to keep bothering each other."
"Do you think that by forcing me out, you can smoothly take over?" Song Xingchen no longer swallowed her anger as before.
"What do you mean?" Liu Jia'er's eyes widened, not expecting that Song Xingchen, who was always timid and submissive, would be so assertive.
