Qiao Yu replied with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean?"
Qiao Jingjing sent a "knocking on the head" emoji:
How much did you sell?
Qiao Yu's reply was hesitant and evasive:
Not many.
Qiao 4.5 Jingjing is furious:
Stop trying to bluff me, let's get down to business. The company wants me to sign all the authorization agreements for the song "Farewell Song," and from now on, all your songs will have to be authorized for the company's operation. They're only offering 50,000 yuan.
There was a silence of about ten seconds on Qiao Yu's end, before he spoke succinctly:
[Let him go to hell.]
Qiao Jingjing pursed her lips, knowing exactly what was going on.
【understood. 】
She turned off her phone screen and gave a professional smile:
"Manager Liu, I'm sorry, my brother has also sold the online rights to 'Farewell Song.' As for future song rights, he said he would give priority to the company."
She didn't rule out any possibility, leaving an opening for both sides.
Manager Liu's expression was extremely displeased, showing signs of anger, and his tone became increasingly harsh:
"We'll talk about future songs later. Don't go on the next episode."
Qiao Jingjing raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
"To be honest, the company arranged for you to participate in 'Singer' to reserve a spot for Jiang Wan."
"Her album is almost ready, and she needs the 'Singer' platform to promote it and build her reputation," Manager Liu said casually.
"But I wasn't eliminated. If I suddenly stop participating in the show, what will the audience think? The production team won't agree either." Qiao Jingjing suppressed her anger.
Manager Liu said impatiently, "Just make up some excuse, like you're not feeling well or something happened at home. Do I have to teach you how?"
You're the one whose family is in trouble.
Qiao Jingjing's beautiful, seductive face darkened.
Her eyes were half-closed; she was truly angry.
The company's interests are my interests.
That sounds so splendid.
Where were you when I needed the company?
They promised to arrange a composer for me, but what happened?
Jiang Wan easily snatched it away.
If it weren't for my younger brother's painstaking efforts in writing songs for me, I don't know when I would have made it into the music industry.
Now you want to sabotage my song again? Dream on.
.......
93. The dark side of the entertainment industry; preparing to replace Qiao Jingjing?
Qiao Jingjing even thought that even though she had just signed the authorization agreement,
Manager Liu will likely bring up the matter of her leaving the show again.
That would truly be like swallowing a bitter pill in silence.
There is pain that cannot be expressed.
"Manager Liu, I'm perfectly healthy and everything's fine at home. So I won't be leaving the show."
Qiao Jingjing didn't even bother to give a proper expression. "Also, your marketing department manages the company's business, but I'm a contracted artist. My work arrangements aren't under your marketing department's jurisdiction."
Manager Liu slammed his fist on the table and roared:
"What do you mean by that, Qiao Jingjing? Have you forgotten who made you famous? Are you turning your back on the company?"
"literal meaning."
Qiao Jingjing got up and left the office without looking back.
Mo Xiangwan glared fiercely at Manager Liu, "Manager Liu, don't forget, Qiao Jingjing is a top-tier actress now. She's not some minor actress you can manipulate at will."
After saying that, ignoring Manager Liu's gloomy face, she chased after him, "Jingjing, your temper, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're too sharp-tongued. Can't you be a little more tactful? Don't make things so tense."
Qiao Jingjing strode forward: "Sister Xiang Wan, you know, this is just my temper, I can't change it."
She suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mo Xiangwan:
"What's going on? Who is this Manager Liu? Why is he interfering with my work arrangements?"
The issue of song copyright is somewhat understandable.
But I'm not in the marketing department.
Whether he leaves the show or not, is it his place to overstep his bounds and decide?
Strictly speaking, Mo Xiangwan is actually Qiao Jingjing's boss.
We have to follow her work arrangements.
But Mo Xiangwan treated Qiao Jingjing like a treasure, and was completely devoted to her.
Not to mention his connection with Qiao Yu.
Mo Xiangwan's face was grim, and she remained tight-lipped.
He looked around for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it back in the office."
The two returned to the office.
Mo Xiangwan closed the door, and without any more restraint, she spoke louder:
"Jiang Wan's album is about to be released, and the company is investing a lot of resources to help promote it. 'Singer' is one of them. This show is so popular right now."
"The company originally intended for you to fill in temporarily, and also to get some exposure and boost your popularity."
"I didn't expect you to get this far. Who knew..."
The way Mo Xiangwan looked at Qiao Jingjing.
It's like a hungry wolf seeing a cute little white rabbit, its mouth watering.
"In this way, you've blocked Jiang Wan's path."

Qiao Jingjing immediately understood and said slyly:
"Is Jiang Wan having an affair with this Manager Liu?"
"My dear aunt, you have such poor taste."
Mo Xiangwan was both amused and exasperated: "Jiang Wan is a top-tier singer, one of the company's star performers. Even Manager Liu has to be mindful of her."
Qiao Jingjing retorted defiantly, "I'm also a top-tier artist."
"They have powerful connections, do you?"
At this point, Mo Xiangwan unconsciously lowered her voice:
"It's Vice President Huang Yuquan; Jiang Wan is his person."
"It would have been a simple matter of dismissing you, but the president really appreciates you and praised you in the meeting yesterday."
"They say Qiao Jingjing has the potential to become a pop diva and is a rare talent... She deserves the company's strong support."
I go!
Qiao Jingjing thought to herself, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. President."
What merit or ability do I, a mere woman, possess?
The larger the company, the more intense the factional struggles.
It's like this no matter where you put it.
Qiao Jingjing is no innocent rabbit; she has seen far more despicable methods than this.
So she didn't have much psychological distress.
No wonder.
Otherwise, does she think she can become a hermit just by changing agencies?
impossible.
All crows are black.
……
Jiaxing Entertainment.
Office of the Vice President.
Manager Liu knocked on the office door, and a man's voice came from inside: "Come in."
This is a luxurious office.
The air is filled with the aroma of cologne and cigars.
Behind the large nanmu wood desk is a four-meter-high display shelf that occupies the entire wall.
Displaying books, porcelain, bronze artworks...
Opposite the entrance is a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
It's perfect for overlooking the scenery.
Sunlight streamed through the glass, illuminating the Italian-made leather sofa.
Huang Yuquan, vice president of Jiaxing Entertainment, sat in his office chair, seemingly looking at a document.
