Chapter 160 Talking about Contracts

As soon as the taxi stopped outside the gate of Yuanmeng Records, Gao Feng couldn't wait to get out of the car, as if every minute and every second he spent in the same room with Su Yue was torture for him.

An Wen also hurriedly got out of the passenger seat, went around to the back seat and helped Su Yue out of the car.

Su Yue leaned forward, using one of his canes, and reached out to Gao Feng, saying, "Although we had some disagreements, we were still friends before. How about we part ways amicably?"

Gao Feng glanced at him coldly, then looked up at the "Dream Come True" sign.

"Gao Feng!"

It wasn't until An Wen raised his voice and called him again that Gao Feng reluctantly extended his hand.

Although An Wen played the good cop, saying that the peaceful breakup was all thanks to her efforts in arranging things, Gao Feng didn't thank An Wen at all. Instead, he was convinced that the couple was putting on an act again.

Moreover, the couple also took the authorization for "Spring Water Flows"—although not the complete copyright, it was enough to make Gao Feng unhappy.

The main reason he chose to shake hands and make peace with Su Yue was that he was afraid of causing a scene at the entrance of Yuanmeng and leaving a bad impression on his new employer.

After explaining their purpose to the gatekeeper, the three filed in through the open small door.

Once inside the courtyard, Gao Feng began to look around curiously. It was a large, newly renovated tenement, and there was nothing particularly new about it. The only thing that caught his eye was the six or seven cars parked against the wall on the west side.

There were Santana, Fukang, Xiali, and a Ford Tianba, which is currently very popular.

Gao Feng glanced at each car with envy, wondering what kind of car he should buy once he became famous.

At this moment, two people came out of the house to the north. One was Wang Jinghua, whom all three of them were quite familiar with, and the other was Chen Hong, Zhang Yan's official girlfriend.

Seeing that Zhang Yan did not come out to greet them personally, Su Yue and Gao Feng were somewhat disappointed, but Yuan Meng, the prospective boss's wife, was a heavyweight figure, so they were not dissatisfied because of this.

"President Su, An Wen."

After the two parties met, Wang Jinghua took the initiative to introduce, "This is Mr. Chen from our agency. Since Mr. Zhang is temporarily unavailable, Mr. Chen will be handling all the contract matters for today."

Everything was arranged, how could something come up at the last minute?
Is he afraid to face me?
Just as An Wen had this thought in mind, Chen Hong added, "Excuse me, the director of the August First Film Studio came to Tianjin to discuss cooperation. The higher-ups have personally selected our General Manager Zhang as his general—after all, he was the one who first proposed this cooperation."

The information Zhang Yan gave last time was wrong. Although the film and television base was to be built in Beijing, it was not invested by Beijing, but by the August First Film Studio.

However, this actually strengthened the resolve of the Tianjin authorities, since the military's tiger skin was also very useful, and there was no need to worry about 'aiding the enemy'.

Hearing Chen Hong's words, An Wen realized that she had misunderstood. Fortunately, she only thought about it in her heart and did not show it.

Chen Hong led the three to the reception room in the center. After they were seated according to their status as host and guests, she first looked at Gao Feng: "Mr. Gao, besides the original contract terms with Pu'an, do you have any other thoughts or requests before the formal contract exchange?"

Seeing that he was the first person to be asked, Gao Feng was both excited and nervous. He shifted uncomfortably before saying, "Mr. Chen, I have no other requests. I just hope you can write another song that suits me so I can sing it at the New Year's Eve concert."

"This one……"

Chen Hong frowned slightly and said, "When it comes to creative matters, I'm afraid no one can guarantee that they can definitely do it, right?"

"I... I can do it! I should be able to!"

Gao Feng became increasingly panicked, fearing that Chen Hong would reject his request. Although with Yuanmeng's influence, even if he lost this opportunity, there would definitely be other opportunities.

But he still didn't want to miss this grand event.

"Mr. Gao, please calm down."

Chen Hong raised her hand and pressed down lightly, waiting for Gao Feng to get so excited that he lifted his buttocks half a foot off the chair before falling back down. Then she said, "What I mean is, we should do two things at the same time. On the one hand, you can continue to try to create new songs."

On the other hand, we will also ask Director Zhang Weining to acquire one or two songs suitable for your voice. Whichever song you feel is more suitable, we'll use that one for your performance—is that alright?

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Gao Feng nodded vigorously, thinking to himself that big companies are indeed big companies. He had been with Pu'an for more than a year and had never heard of Pu'an accepting songs from outside.

After agreeing on his own requirements, Chen Hong also gave him a brief introduction to the internal regulations and benefits of Yuanmeng.

After confirming that Gao Feng had no objections, Chen Hong turned to Su Yue: "President Su, if you have no objections, we can sign the transfer agreement. Of course, if needed, you can also hire a lawyer for notarization."

Su Yue quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, Yuanmeng is a big company, of course I trust it!"

The contract had already been drafted, and Wang Jinghua had her assistant draft a supplementary agreement. All three parties signed it, and Gao Feng officially transferred his registration from Pu'an to Yuanmeng. After that, Gao Feng had nothing to do with anything else.

The two sides first discussed the concert slots, and Su Yue had some doubts about this: "President Chen, the contract states that it guarantees Pu'an a performance slot, but it also stipulates that the performance standards must be met - how exactly is this standard met?"

Chen Hong smiled but didn't answer his question directly. Instead, she took out a bunch of keys and said to Wang Jinghua, "Jinghua, take Gao Feng around and find out where he'll be staying."

After Wang Jinghua picked up the keys and called Gao Feng to leave,

Chen Hongcai said seriously, "President Su, I think you have always had a certain misconception. You have completely regarded this performance as an opportunity to make the singer famous, but you have not thought that this is actually a great opportunity to expand the strength of your Puan."

"To expand Puan's strength?"

Su Yue frowned and pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, I can use this opportunity to win over a talented singer?!"

Seeing Chen Hong smile and nod, Su Yue was overjoyed and quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, President Chen. If you hadn't pointed it out, I would definitely have made a mistake!"

Just then, his sleeve was suddenly tugged. Su Yue subconsciously looked at his wife beside him, wanting to see if she had any objections.

But An Wen lowered her head first.

She didn't have any objections; on the contrary, Chen Hong's words made her feel enlightened. She just instinctively disliked her husband bowing his head in front of Chen Hong.

She had already endured the humiliation and grievances she was supposed to bear yesterday!
Su Yue was somewhat puzzled by his wife's behavior, but this was not the time to pry. He sat down again and talked to Chen Hong about inviting singers from Taiwan.

The person he proposed was Zheng Zhihua, who became famous in mainland China in mid-August with his song "Sailor" at a CCTV variety show.

“I’ve met him. Unlike other Taiwanese singers, he doesn’t shy away from expressing his support for unification, and is even willing to publicly promote it…”

This is indeed a suitable candidate.

but……

Chen Hong questioned, "Given the current situation on the other side of the strait, wouldn't publicly expressing patriotic sentiments lead to suppression or even a ban on him?"

"This... will definitely have some impact."

Su Yue hurriedly explained, "However, because he is disabled, he has many sympathizers on the island, and the authorities also need to consider the social impact."

Chen Hong nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

This was actually Zhang Yan's question, but he was temporarily conscripted into the army, so he had to ask Chen Hong for help inquiring about it. However, Chen Hong didn't really care about this question.

In any case, even if Zheng Zhihua is targeted for publicly supporting unification, that is an internal matter on the island and will not affect Yuanmeng. On the contrary, Yuanmeng can gain considerable benefits from it.

Once everything is properly negotiated.

Chen Hong then extended her hand to Su Yue: "President Su, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Happy cooperation!"

Su Yue quickly lifted his buttocks off the ground, bent over, and touched her briefly before pulling away.

…………

After seeing off Su Yue and An Wen, the couple, they departed.

Chen Hong returned to her office and stretched. This was actually her first time representing Zhang Yan and the company in a business negotiation.

Don't be fooled by her calm and composed demeanor; she's actually quite on edge inside.

Fortunately, things went quite smoothly, and the entire meeting was under her control.

This feeling of being in control and exhilarating—especially when she pointed out Su Yue's misconceptions and Su Yue's surprised and delighted expression—brought her a unique kind of enjoyment.

This made Chen Hong start to think that focusing more on managing the company might be a good choice.

But she was still young, and it was somewhat unsatisfying for her to retire from acting so early.

Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it now and just call Zhang Yan to let him know.
