My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Xun Mi took a deep breath, got up and opened the door. When he saw a man in his thirties standing outside, he looked extremely puzzled. "May I ask who you are?"

The man turned to the side and pointed to Lin Mo inside the private room, "I'm looking for Mr. Lin Mo."

As he spoke, he forced his way into the private room.

Xun Mi was about to step forward to stop the man, but before he could make any move, as the man entered the private room, Zhao Hanting slowly stood up, staring at the man with unfriendly eyes, "Liu Jin, what are you doing here?"

Liu Jin did not answer, but strode to the table and smiled politely at Lin Mo, "Mr. Lin Mo, I am Liu Jin, the head of the copyright operation department of Yueji."

Upon hearing Liu Jin's self-introduction, Xun Mi, who had just returned, immediately became alarmed and asked in a low voice, "Team leader, what's going on?"

Zhao Hanting's expression turned bitter. "What else could it be? It's a bidding war."

"Bidding?"

Xun Mi was stunned for a few seconds, then muttered under her breath, "This Lin Mo is so young, how can he be so ruthless!"

"Shh-"

Zhao Hanting made a shushing gesture and lowered his voice even further, "Watch your words. The song belongs to Lin Mo, and he can sell it however he wants. That's his right."

Xun Mi opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Lin Mo shook hands with Liu Jin. "Minister Liu, you've come at the right time. You should know Team Leader Zhao, right?"

"know."

Liu Jin glanced at Zhao Hanting, then turned around, pulled up a chair, and sat down on the side of the table. He extended his right hand to Zhao Hanting and asked, "Team Leader Zhao, where were you and Mr. Lin Mo at?"

Zhao Hanting snorted coldly, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Minister Liu, does it? I arranged to meet Lin Mo tonight. Even if you Yueji want to compete, you shouldn't interfere, right?"

Liu Jin smiled without saying a word, then turned to look at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo chuckled and explained, "Team Leader Zhao, it was I who took the initiative to meet with Minister Liu. I don't know much about copyright licensing, so I thought I'd meet with people from several music platforms and see who offers the best terms before I start working with them."

Zhao Hanting couldn't afford to make a scene any longer, so he changed the subject, saying, "For a one-year exclusive license, Quanmin Music is willing to pay five million."

This price is comparable to that of some of the top singers in the music industry.

After hearing the price quote, Lin Mo looked at Liu Jin, and with a single glance, he said nothing, yet said everything.

Liu Jin grinned. "Only five million for an exclusive license for a year? Quanmin Music really lives up to its reputation as the number one music platform in China; they're so arrogant."

The taunting was instantly escalated!

Was Chapter 576 misremembered?

"Minister Liu, what do you mean?"

Zhao Hanting's face darkened, and his gaze toward Liu Jin was filled with anger.

An exclusive license for five million a year—that's a price tag for a top singer—was met with ridicule from Liu Jin. Even with Zhao Hanting's good temper, he couldn't help but get angry.

Liu Jin didn't even glance at Zhao Hanting, but gave Lin Mo a friendly smile, "Actually, I don't mean anything by it. Since Team Leader Zhao has already quoted his price, it's my turn to quote."

"I don't like beating around the bush. Let's just get straight to the point. No matter what price Team Leader Zhao quotes, I, on behalf of Yueji, will offer double the price."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanting's face turned extremely ugly, and he said angrily, "Liu Jin, what do you mean? You're probably here to cause trouble, aren't you?"

Just then, the waiter brought the coffee.

Lin Mo chuckled as he took the coffee from the waiter, took a leisurely sip, and showed no intention of saying anything.

After the waiter left, Liu Jin straightened his clothes. "Team Leader Zhao, we are both people of status. We should always be mindful of our words and actions, especially with Mr. Lin Mo here. Can't we discuss things politely?"

"you……"

Zhao Hanting, who was already furious, felt extremely uncomfortable after being provoked. He had to suppress his anger for a long time before finally saying, "Fine!"

He gave Lin Mo an apologetic smile, "I'm going out to make a phone call, excuse me for a moment."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, "Team Leader Zhao, please go ahead."

Before leaving, Zhao Hanting gave Xun Mi a look, and Xun Mi immediately understood, glaring angrily at Liu Jin as if she wanted to fight.

Liu Jin didn't take Xun Mi seriously at all. The moment the door to the private room closed, he immediately said, "Mr. Lin, I'm here to see you on behalf of Yueji Music with the utmost sincerity. We'll make sure you're satisfied with the price. Quanmin Music's offer will never be higher than Yueji's. No matter how high Quanmin's price is, Yueji's will be even higher!"

"Such a big mouth, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue!"

Seeing Liu Jin say this, Xun Mi couldn't hold back any longer and said with a mocking expression, "Even if your Yueji is very strong recently, in the end, the top spot of the music platform is still firmly held by us, Quanmin. The price that you Yueji offer, we, Quanmin, can also afford!"

"Oh?"

Liu Jin smiled knowingly, "Young man, can you represent the music of the entire nation?"

"I'm a person who represents music for everyone, what do you say about me..."

Before Xun Mi could finish speaking, Liu Jin poured cold water on his head, saying, "Even if you are a member of the national music community, you can only represent yourself, not the national music community. It is important for people to know their own limitations and recognize their own weight."

"you……"

"Don't be angry. What I'm saying may not be pleasant to hear, but the truth is what it is."

Meeting Xun Mi's angry gaze, Liu Jin continued, "I know you're not convinced, and I understand your youthful arrogance. But let me tell you, not only you, but even Zhao Hanting doesn't represent the entire nation's music scene. Otherwise, what do you think Zhao Hanting has been doing outside?"

Xun Mi gave him a cold look. "Our team leader Zhao is very busy. It's normal for him to go out and take care of other things. Do you need to worry about this?"

Liu Jin chuckled, "Other things? No, no, no, you're still too naive. Your team leader Zhao is on the phone with the person in charge of your Quanmin Music right now, asking about the bottom line for the price. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhao Hanting for confirmation when he gets back."

Xun Mi's mouth was half open, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Liu Jin didn't want to waste words with Xun Mi, an unknown nobody, so he turned to Lin Mo and smiled politely, "Mr. Lin, compared to people who enjoy music for everyone, I can represent Yueji 100%."

"Oh?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Minister Liu is very confident."

Liu Jin laughed along, "Of course, Yueji's boss is my brother-in-law, and I personally own a significant number of shares in Yueji. When it comes to acquiring the copyright of a song, I absolutely have the final say."

Lin Mo clicked his tongue, "It seems Minister Liu is determined to get the exclusive rights to the song 'Youth' today?"

"Yes."

Liu Jin readily admitted, "Mr. Lin, are you interested in hearing Yueji's quote now?"

"Not urgent."

Lin Mo waved his hand, "Let's wait for Team Leader Zhao to come back first. He organized this meeting today. It's not very polite for Minister Liu to take the lead. What do you think?"

"also."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, a strange glint flashed in Liu Jin's eyes.

Before coming, he had investigated Lin Mo's information: eighteen years old, the image ambassador of Xia Bei, a freshman in college, and the second highest scorer in this year's college entrance examination, second only to An Youyu, the first perfect scorer in the Xia calendar era.

In terms of achievements, Lin Mo is inferior to An Youyu, but after meeting him, he felt that Lin Mo was not simple. Despite his young age, he had a composure and maturity that his peers did not have. Even in front of him and Zhao Hanting, a seasoned veteran, he still seemed to be in complete control.

Seeing the somewhat silent atmosphere, Liu Jin took the initiative to speak, "I've seen Xia Bei's promotional video this year. Mr. Lin and Ms. An looked very good in the promotional video, but after meeting them today, I found that they are even more good-looking in real life, which really makes me, a mere mortal, feel a little ashamed."

"Minister Liu, you're too kind."

Xun Mi secretly despised Liu Jin's flattery.

Seeing that An Youyu's coffee hadn't been touched, Lin Mo pulled over the sugar jar and added two small spoonfuls of sugar to her. He originally wanted to add another spoonful, but after thinking about it, he gave up in the end.

"Come on, have a taste."

"it is good."

An Youyu stirred it with a spoon, picked it up and took a small sip, then frowned. "Not very... good, it's both sweet and bitter."

Lin Mo smiled indulgently, "Everyone feels uncomfortable the first time they drink coffee. After we finish talking, I'll treat you to a glass of lemonade."

"Hey... okay."

An Youyu's eyebrows arched, reflecting the bright moon hanging high outside the glass window. For a moment, it seemed as if three crescent moons appeared in the sky, which startled Liu Jin and Xun Mi.

A smile that could topple a city... it wasn't an exaggeration, but a true description.

With that kind of looks, even in the entertainment industry full of handsome men and beautiful women, she would still be stunning!

Soon, Zhao Hanting returned to the private room. As soon as he sat down, he took the initiative to speak: "Lin Mo, our Quanmin Music is willing to offer an exclusive licensing fee of ten million yuan per year. This price is very high no matter where you are. Will you consider it?"

As he spoke, he looked at An Youyu and said, "If I remember correctly, Miss An's ideal price was ten million a year, right?"

An Youyu shook her head, "Team Leader Zhao is mistaken, this is not my ideal price."

Zhao Hanting: "..."

Did you remember it wrong?

Probably not?

But when Zhao Hanting saw that An Youyu didn't seem to be joking, he couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

He secretly gave Xun Mi a questioning look, and Xun Mi blinked in confusion, "Team leader, although I remember it was the same, but look how seriously An Youyu is talking, we must have remembered it wrong."

Faced with the choice of believing in himself or An Youyu, Xun Mi decisively chose the latter.

Zhao Hanting scratched his head. "Miss An, could you tell me what your ideal price is?"

"Fifty million."

As An Youyu announced the price, Zhao Hanting and Xun Mi's eyes widened in surprise.

At that moment, the two of them were certain of one thing.

They remembered correctly!

From the very beginning, An Youyu said it was ten million!

Even if they have terrible memories, they couldn't possibly confuse ten million with fifty million.

An Youyu blushed, unconsciously lowered her head, and repeated, "Fifty million."

"..."

Zhao Hanting and Xun Mi looked at each other, both speechless.

A ten million yuan annual exclusive licensing fee is already outrageous enough; what if we multiply it by five?

Outrageous!

Such an exorbitant price is simply impossible!

The moment that thought crossed their minds, Liu Jin pulled them back to reality. "You two, are you stunned by the price of fifty million?"
