I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Seeing that Ye Xian had finished making empty promises to Ding Zhan, Qiu's mother knew it was time for her to step in.

Clearing her throat, Qiu's mother smiled and looked at Ding Zhan: "So, Lao Ding, how are you going to decide on your treatment?"

Ding Zhan's face immediately fell: "Name your price!"

Mrs. Qiu chuckled, "Look, Ye Xian has already discussed the plan with you. The future is definitely bright, so my previous proposal of 1% equity is more than fair to you!"

Ding Zhan was both amused and exasperated: "It's too low. How am I supposed to hold my head high in front of my peers like this?"

"When you were blind, why didn't you say you should look up?"

Mother Qiu comforted him further, "I talked to Ye Xian last night. You haven't had it easy these past few years; you haven't earned much money, you've lost it all. How about this: we can't just expect the horse to run without feeding it. You've finally found a genius, so 1% is indeed a bit low. How about 2% equity dividends, plus a fixed salary? As for any extra bonuses, Ye Xian isn't the selfish type; he certainly won't treat you unfairly at the end of the year!"

"You need to understand that Ye Xian's presence or absence makes little difference now."

"But you would find it difficult to find a high-quality stock like Ye Xian."

"If you're willing, we'll sign; if you're not, we'll find someone else."

One pull and one tug.

They both hit and coaxed.

One was criticized, the other was praised.

Qiu's mother had a knack for manipulating Ding Zhan; to put it bluntly, Ye Xian wanted employees, not agents.

Ding Zhan finally nodded and admitted, "To be honest, if it weren't for these three hit songs that Ye Xian presented, which showed me the future, even if you offered me 50%, let alone 2%!"

Ye Xian extended his hand and shook hands with Ding Zhan: "Welcome, Uncle Ding!"

He knew that what moved Ding Zhan was not Qiu's mother's words, but his own achievements.

This 2% stake may not seem like much, but I believe that in less than two years, Ding Zhan will be happy with his current decision.

Feeling like he was being manipulated, Ding Zhan shook hands with her and said seriously, "You better live up to expectations, don't embarrass your mother!"

Ye Xian immediately stopped laughing.

Okay, there's another reason for the collaboration: this old guy is Mom's suitor.

……

After finishing their business and signing the contract, Ye Xian called Wang Feifei and the other two women back.

"So, is Brother Xian ready to start a fan club?"

As soon as the three women entered, they politely greeted Qiu's mother and Ding Zhan, and then eagerly asked, "Isn't 'Salted Fish' a nice name?"

"What salted fish! How cliché!"

Ye Xian said with disdain, "How many people have actually used this salted fish? Salted fish, indeed!"

"Then what should we call it?"

Wang Feifei wasn't angry about the rejection of the fan club name; instead, her eyes lit up. If she was willing to discuss the name, it meant that the matter was settled.

"Let's order a late-night snack."

Ye Xian stroked his chin and uttered a word that made everyone slightly stunned.

"Night snack?"

"What the hell?"

Wang Feifei and Wang Yin were stunned, and Ding Zhan and Qiu's mother also felt a little unable to keep up with Ye Xian's train of thought.

What are young people thinking about these days?

Sun Li: "I agree!"

"Of course you agree!"

Wang Feifei retorted angrily, "All you ever think about is eating!"

There are several reasons why we ordered a late-night snack.

Ye Xian organized his thoughts and explained, "First, it's definitely because of the pun; that doesn't need much explanation."

"Secondly, our short videos and live streams are all at night, and the fans who watch them are also night owls. When they watch the food I post late at night, it's like having a late-night snack. Food, late-night snacks, and night owls are a perfect combination."

"Thirdly, listening to my music at night is like giving yourself a late-night snack for your spirit, isn't it?"

"Fourth, we have both spiritual and material late-night snacks, so I plan to focus on late-night snack products in my next live-streaming sales event."

"Fifth, don't you guys think ordering a late-night snack sounds really cool?"

……

"Okay, you win!"

After thinking about it for a while, the group realized they had all been led astray by Ye Xian's twisted logic.

However, after reading it a few times, I felt that the name was actually quite funny.

When Ding Zhan heard that Ye Xian wanted to start with late-night snacks as the main product, he nodded in satisfaction. This way, short videos, music, and products would be organically combined.

This kid is a true genius!

She can write songs, shoot short videos, and understand operations better than the kind of person who makes random decisions. The talent agency industry is indeed different now than before. If you don't keep up with the thinking of young people, you'll probably be eliminated by the industry soon.

"From now on, we'll call ourselves the Midnight Snack Fan Club!"

Wang Feifei and Wang Yin pumped their fists, overjoyed; their goal had been achieved!

"I want to be the leader!"

Sun Li raised her hand.

"..."

Wang Feifei and Wang Yin wanted to refute him, but they felt slightly lacking in confidence in front of this good-for-nothing.

"Alright, alright, you're the first leader of the Midnight Snack Fan Club, you big Midnight Snack!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, including Qiu's mother and Ding Zhan. Indeed, being with young people was the most enjoyable thing.

Leaving Qiu's mother and Ding Zhan to discuss some specific matters regarding the establishment of the fan club with the three women, Ye Xian turned around and devoted himself to the recording of the fourth song.

Now that the live streams are scheduled every two days, coinciding with the release of short videos, Ye Xian has more time to refine the shots and music for his short videos.

Many scenes had already been filmed, but Ye Xian had been hesitant about which song to sing. Wang Feifei's question during yesterday's live broadcast reminded him of a suitable song.

I acted on my idea immediately, first spending a day recording the accompaniment, and then another night and a morning recording the song.

……

The next day, February 6th, at 5:00 PM.

Sun Li, who had already returned to work, rushed to finish her work ahead of schedule and then quickly turned on Kuaishou (a Chinese instant messaging platform).

As the first leader of the late-night snack group, I must be the first to like my idol's short videos.

Hmm, let's also see what delicious food Ye Xian has made this time.

That way, I can copy it myself at night.

Nice!

From now on, we'll do it this way!

……

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Xian, a man on the verge of bankruptcy!"

"I sell goods full-time, cook part-time, and sing occasionally."

"Yesterday was the Lantern Festival. I don't really like sweets, so I didn't make any glutinous rice balls. But to treat myself, I'm going to make myself a delicious late-night snack."

The scene is a first-person perspective shot in landscape mode. Ye Xian is driving a car on a main road late at night. The clock on the dashboard shows 12:03 a.m.

The camera zooms out, revealing twinkling stars against the black sky. This time, there are no fireworks.

Six large white handwritten characters appeared in the sky.

"People like me"

Small print below: Lyrics/Music/Singing by Ye Xian

As the camera zooms in, it's the same neighborhood as last time, and the same person who received the goods last time. Ye Xian hands a case of wine to the other party.

"People as outstanding as me"

He should have lived a brilliant life.

How come after more than 20 years...

Still adrift in the sea of ​​people
