Chapter 976 Single Bonus
"Maria Miller? How do you know her?" Jason was surprised at first, then he realized, "Oh! Now I remember, maybe she asked you to get a tattoo."
Liu said, "Yes, we had a pleasant conversation. She gave me an invitation to her birthday party and she said she also sent you an invitation."
Jason did receive the invitation letter, a long time ago. If Liu hadn't reminded him, he would not have remembered it at all.
As a well-known figure, his email and physical mailboxes are filled with all kinds of correspondence every day, including performance invitations, business negotiations... They pile up like a mountain and it is impossible for him to handle them personally, so he has a special assistant to help him look through these invitations. The assistant will screen out the more important ones, such as the last charity event and the birthday party of the Miller family's daughter.
In fact, every now and then, Jason is invited to attend celebrity banquets. When he was young, he was quite keen on attending banquets, but as he got older, he found such activities boring. People who are worse than him fawn over him; people who are better than him wait for him to flatter them. Would a arrogant person like him do such a thing? No way! He is not unsociable, he just realizes that life is short and time is limited. He hopes to focus on things he likes more, rather than these useless social activities.
However, he would definitely attend any party he thought was valuable. Maria's birthday party was just a useless social event for him. The Miller family was wealthy and had a high status in the American political and business circles. If he attended Maria's birthday party, the headlines of the media the next day would probably say that he was trying to curry favor with someone, or that he and Maria were having an affair.
Therefore, Maria insisted on sending him an invitation every year, but he insisted on not going, so much so that he didn't even know Maria - knowing this person and knowing her are two different things.
When Jason learned that Liu was going to attend Maria's birthday party, his stubborn idea was somewhat shaken.
He wondered if he should join in the fun.

After Liu? and Li Xiaoru left, Jason did not go out to eat, but stayed in the recording studio and worked overtime with everyone else. They relied on takeout for food and drinks. Scott left halfway because he was the boss and had other things to do. Before leaving, he asked Cohen to send him the master tape in time.
All the staff worked until nine o'clock in the evening and finally finished the mastering of the new single. Of course, this was just a rough version and needed to be refined later. After being idle for too long, everyone was particularly motivated to get busy again. After all, there was a big bonus ahead. Besides, everyone was a professional musician and knew what was good. They believed that this new song was definitely another superb work of Jason.
The progress bar on the computer reached the last step, and the mix had been rendered. Cohen, who was sitting in front of the computer, stared at the screen in a daze. Jason came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Is the file ready?"
Cohen came to his senses and said, "Oh, it was just generated."
"Then send it to Scott quickly, why are you daydreaming?"
"OK."
Cohen clicked the mouse, and Jason stood beside him and watched. At this time, there were only two of them in the recording studio. The other employees were eating takeout dinner outside. In this rare opportunity to be alone, Cohen asked Jason the question that had been bothering him all afternoon.
"Can I get the single release bonus you mentioned earlier?"
This sudden topic surprised Jason, "Um, you are not my employee here..."
Theoretically, Cohen and Jason are on the same level, both belong to Scott's record company and are responsible for different jobs. Cohen is a music producer and Jason is a singer, and their common leader is Scott.
Jason's private recording studio was his own company. He gave bonuses to his own employees, so it was impossible for him to give them to his "colleagues". Cohen's bonus was Scott's responsibility, so Jason was very curious, "How did you and Scott negotiate the split? Did he deduct your salary?"
Cohen laughed to hide his laughter. "Hahaha, I'm kidding!"
"You've been acting really weird lately," Jason looked at his dark circles and sunken cheeks. "You look terrible. Are you sick? Or are you in some trouble?"
"You think too much. I just went to bed late," Cohen didn't want to talk more. He turned back to his computer and continued working. He sent the file to Scott's email.
"Oh yeah, send me another copy," Jason said.
"This is just a rough draft, there are still a lot of problems, don't rush to trouble me," Cohen knew Jason's pursuit of perfection, and he looked worried and didn't want to work overtime.
Jason smiled and said, "No, no, I just want to send it to Liu?. I hope she and her friends can hear the results of our collaboration first."
