"Bring your boss out here!"
Liu Zi was furious. How could there be such a shameless person?
In order to get a glimpse of her creativity, a man in his forties or fifties actually pretended to be melancholy, acted pitiful, and looked down on her strategy.
Liu Zi never expected that after years in the entertainment industry, she would be tricked by a car mechanic who only verbally promised to buy her a cheaper car, which she never got to use.
"Miss, you can tell me what's wrong."
The shop assistant hesitated when she saw Liu Zi's aggressive demeanor. This woman seemed to be up to no good. Could it be that the boss had gotten into some romantic troubles outside?
She immediately dismissed the idea, saying that Liu Zi looked like an intellectual, while their boss was a roughneck and no one would respect him.
"I'm here to collect a debt. Tell him to come out right now."
"Collecting debts?"
Knowing they might not be able to handle it, the shop assistant went to the back to call for help.
The owner and his family were having a meal when they heard what the waiter said. They were all taken aback, and the owner couldn't remember where he owed any money. So he put down his chopsticks and prepared to go out and take a look.
The proprietress stood up, still feeling uneasy, and followed her out.
The moment they met, the boss recognized Liu Zi and rubbed his hands together, looking slightly embarrassed.
Liu Zi curled her lip and said, "Boss, how have you been?"
Why are you here?
"It's nothing, I just saw your business is doing well, so I came to ask if my marketing strategy is working?" Liu Zi said coldly.
The boss froze on the spot for a moment, then seemed to realize something and said through gritted teeth, "What strategy? I don't understand what you're saying."
Wow!
This is a case of turning their backs and refusing to admit their mistakes.
The boss had his own ulterior motives. The three of them had talked in a private room, and no one but the three of them knew what they said.
In his view, it was really not worth spending a thousand yuan to buy such a small idea that he didn't even know if it would work.
He used a little trick and easily fooled the two of them, and afterwards he kept chuckling to himself.
Now someone's come knocking on his door. Seeing how well his shop is doing, they're sure to try and squeeze a big buck out of him!
This must absolutely not be admitted!
"What goes around comes around. Since the boss is being unreasonable, I have nothing more to say. I hope you won't regret it later." Liu Zi left with only these words.
The boss suddenly had a bad feeling, as if he had offended someone he shouldn't have, and immediately felt uneasy.
The proprietress stared at the woman's back, puzzled. What were these two talking about?
She dragged her husband into the backyard, and after a barrage of interrogation, the boss finally revealed the truth.
It turns out that my shop was able to revive thanks to that young girl's strategy. I tried it with some hesitation at first, but I didn't expect it to work so well.
I didn't leave any contact information at the time, and my husband became a coward in order to save that little bit of money.
Now that people have come knocking on his door, he still doesn't know he's wrong and keeps making excuses. He's shameless.
As the old folks often say, a virtuous wife brings fewer troubles to her husband. The landlady was a sensible woman. After understanding the whole story, she immediately pointed at her husband and started yelling at him.
"You know the other person is capable, yet you still chased them away like that? With someone as powerful as them, why would they care about your paltry sums? What they want is your attitude."
"If you had just apologized and admitted your mistake, they might have given you some pointers; but now you've completely offended them, and you're finished!" the proprietress said angrily.
"It can't be that bad!" the boss said, sounding a little guilty.
"If they can entrust it to you, why can't they entrust it to someone else? There are so many motorcycle sellers in the county. Have you forgotten how you were driven to the brink of suicide half a year ago?"
"This won't do!"
Upon hearing his wife's words, the boss immediately stood up excitedly.
"That's their idea. If they can teach it to you, why can't they teach it to others? You didn't pay them." The proprietress didn't want to talk to this idiot anymore, so she took off her apron and rushed out.
I hope that girl hasn't gone far!
The proprietress was overthinking it; Liu Zi didn't have the time to teach others how to do business.
She had just wanted to test the motorcycle shop owner; if he admitted his mistake and accepted the penalty, she wouldn't mind giving him a heads-up.
But now she didn't want to say another word. Such a person lacks vision and can't accomplish great things.
Back at the hotel, she paid the bill and left.
Liu Dama rode slowly behind, while Liu Zi took the two children back to sleep.
Qiqi was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, and she kept swaying back and forth in a daze.
The motorcycle shop owner and his wife rode around the area many times but couldn't find Liu Zi, so they had to return to the shop with regret.
Two days later, Liu Zi went to Beijing alone.
Manager Zhou and sales representative Xu from Jin Xing Records came to Beijing hoping to meet with her.
Over the past six months, Xu Jin has helped Liu Zi with a lot of things. Although Xu Jin received a commission, Liu Zi is still very grateful to him.
Knowing the other party's purpose, Liu Zi directly took out her trump card, "For Love," a song that perfectly matched the style of Jin Xing Records, and she thought they would be very satisfied.
Liu Zi had a lot on her plate, so she handed the song to him as soon as they met.
Having been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, Manager Zhou immediately recognized the song's extraordinary quality and was overjoyed.
He frowned when he heard that Liu Zi was now only allowed to license songs.
"Why is Ms. Liu no longer selling her songs? Our Venus Records will give you a good offer," Manager Zhou mentioned briefly.
The company made a fortune last time by purchasing the copyright to "At Least There Is Still Something" for HK$30,000.
Liu Zi's fame has soared, and they had already decided before they came that they would offer a maximum of HK$200,000 to buy her song.
"Are you sure?" Liu Zi lowered her head and stirred the coffee in front of her.
"Please name your price!"
“I will not sell this song for less than one million Hong Kong dollars.”
Just kidding, she felt that selling a hit song that would remain popular for generations was too cheap, even at a million.
"One million? Miss Liu, you must be joking."
Manager Zhou was taken aback; this guy was really asking for an exorbitant amount!
"This is the price for this song. If you want a cheaper one, I can give you a different price."
Liu Zi is not afraid of plagiarism. She has already instructed Wang Jian to register her songs with the copyright protection center. With the protection of national laws, she is not afraid of anyone causing trouble.
Manager Zhou had already seen the song, so why would he bring it out again?
This song was truly amazing to him, but the other party was asking for too much money, and he knew that his company would definitely not agree to it.
He sighed and said, "I wonder how much the licensing fee for this song will be? We plan to include it in an album for one of our artists."
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zi said, "Manager Zhou, it's not that I'm deliberately making things difficult for you. This song is one of my most cherished possessions, and as the original singer, it must be approved by me."
