Chapter 185 – This Brother-In-Law Must Lend A Hand
Niu Meiling had gone on a business trip some time ago, but it was hard to say whether she deliberately chose this time to avoid facing Mo Fei. After all, people in the entertainment industry usually spend their days at the company, so staying in one city is abnormal.
After coming back, Niu Meiling called her secretary over and asked in detail, “How has it been recently? Has she been making trouble?”
This “she” obviously referred to Mo Fei.
The secretary knew what she meant and shook her head, saying slightly puzzled, “I haven’t seen any movement, Sister Ling. I’ve arranged everything according to your plan, but there doesn’t seem to be any reaction from Mo Xiaojun.”
The secretary mentioned Mo Xiaojun because she represented Mo Fei to a certain extent, and… this girl has a violent temperament. Whenever Mo Fei was wronged, the one who would cause the most trouble was Mo Xiaojun.
“And she didn’t complain that the music producer wasn’t Duan Shurong?” Niu Meiling asked in confusion.
The secretary shook her head and said, “No complaints. It seems like they are quite satisfied with their new music producer. They have started recording officially today!”
Niu Meiling was a little surprised. She thought Mo Fei had no reason not to make a fuss about it!
Duan Shurong has been working with Mo Fei for many years, but she has been assigned to Zhenzhen. Even if Mo Fei wasn’t angry, she should complain a few times, right? But from the look of her secretary, it seemed that Mo Fei and her team really didn’t care at all.
“Who did you find as the new producer later on?” Niu Meiling asked with a frown.
The secretary said, “Jin Yingming.”
Seeing Niu Meiling’s puzzled expression, it was obvious that she had never heard of this name before. The secretary quickly explained, “We found a freelance producer according to your requirements, someone who wasn’t well-known but had no major flaws in his resume. This Jin Yingming also meets these conditions. After all, ten years ago, he had produced an album that almost won the Chinese Golden Record Award for someone else, but since then, he hasn’t had any notable achievements.”
“No achievements in ten years?” Niu Meiling was somewhat surprised.
The secretary smiled and said, “Yes, his condition can be said to be terrible. When we found him, he was about to sell his house in Shanghai to pay for the studio’s water and electricity bills!”
Niu Meiling was relieved. She smiled gently and said, “Since she didn’t come to cause trouble, that’s a good thing. I still hope that Mo Fei can calm down and focus on making music! What’s the point of fussing around with frivolous ideas all day?”
In her view, Mo Fei’s decision to have Mu Li’ang write songs for her was a betrayal and disobedience to her arrangements.
Mo Fei was recording songs with Jin Yingming and several instrumental experts in the company, but Sister Ling and the others were worried about Mo Xiaojuan, who was not in the recording studio. She didn’t even come to the company today and asked for a leave.
However, Mo Xiaojuan didn’t rest at home as she had told her. She secretly drove to a sparsely populated street in the Tingshan District, sneaked out wearing a baseball cap, and tiptoed towards the telephone booth.
A tall man was standing at the telephone booth, and upon hearing the sound, he looked over at her.
“Brother-in-law!” After seeing that it didn’t scare Yang Yi, she stopped sneaking around and ran over with a smile.
That’s right, the tall man was Yang Yi. Although it was already autumn, he was still dressed casually in a t-shirt and shorts.
“What’s with all the secrecy? You could have just gone to my coffee shop, or I could bring it to you at Tianmei.” Yang Yi frowned and asked Mo Xiaojuan.
Mo Xiaojuan rolled her eyes and said impatiently, “Big Brother, this is a secret operation. Opening a studio has to be done secretly. If Sister Ling finds out, Sister Fei will be in trouble!”
Yang Yi thought about it and agreed. He didn’t say much and directly took out a bank card from his pocket. He had already transferred 10 million yuan into it, which was last month’s payment from Qiyue and sales share of his physical book in Sahara.
“The password is 666666, which is six 6’s. Currently, there is only 10 million on the card. You can use it to cover the early-stage needs. As for the funds required later, I will transfer the money to this card after I receive the TV drama copyright fee.” Yang Yi said briefly.
Mo Xiaojuan received the bank card and smiled as if she was holding a piece of gold. She said happily, “Okay!”
Being in a good mood, she told Yang Yi about her plan, “First, during this period, I will find a house to rent and settle our early team members…”
“Why not buy one? Just buy a building as a studio.” Yang Yi interrupted.
Mo Xiaojuan rolled her eyes and said, “Big Brother, houses in the Binhai District are very expensive, you know? Do you think it’s like Tingshan District?”
“Then buy one in Tingshan District! I think Mo Fei will also be happy to work near home!” Yang Yi said firmly.
Mo Xiaojuan hesitated for a moment and said, “Tingshan District? But wouldn’t that be inconvenient? Most of the people working in the entertainment industry in Jiangcheng are concentrated in Binhai.”
“If commuting to work is inconvenient, then buy a commuter car and hire a driver for pick-up and drop-off!” Yang Yi waved his hand and said, “Money is not a problem.”
Mo Xiaojun didn’t have much opinion. For a star studio, it wasn’t necessary to have a specific location, as they were all there to serve Mo Fei. Besides, Mo Fei didn’t work in the same place. After all, big stars travel all over the country.
Expanding it on a national scale, there wouldn’t be much difference between Tingshan District and Binhai District!
Moreover, Mo Xiaojun was also somewhat moved by Yang Yi’s proposal of buying a building as the company’s property. It sounded very cool just thinking about it!
“Okay, then I’ll look for one in Tingshan District,” Mo Xiaojun made up her mind and nodded, “But it can’t be near a school. I need to find a place with convenient transportation and not easy to attract paparazzi. Also, buying a building means we’ll have to renovate and set up a recording studio, which is a lot of work!”
Mo Xiaojuan talked for a while, sounding as if it were all trivial matters, making her feel agitated. However, in reality, her expression was not at all agitated. On the contrary, she was eager to try and seemed ready to take action immediately.
“Do you need me to accompany you to search for it?” Yang Yi asked.
Mo Xiaojun seemed to have been frightened and quickly waved her hand, saying, “No need, no need, I can do it myself, and I also have Xiao Ai to accompany me!”
After speaking, she grabbed the bank card and fled, leaving Yang Yi with a puzzled face. However, Yang Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Yi had no intention of working with Mo Xiaojun! He was still a bit uncomfortable with her personality, and he only asked out of courtesy.
Little did Yang Yi know, Mo Xiaojun, who had run away was secretly criticizing him.
“There’s something wrong with brother-in-law! First, he called me in the middle of the night, and then he took the initiative to give me a hand. If we keep working together, something might happen! It’s better to keep a distance and not let Sister Fei feel sad!”
“Our family Xiao Ai is better, she resigned from her job without hesitation and now she can help me run errands full-time! Hehe, if we want to reward her, let’s double her salary first!”
