[Authorization Document]

"Ms. Ryo Yamada is hereby authorized to have full decision-making authority over the daily operations of Genesis Music. In the event of any major matters, she may report directly to President Seiji Fujiwara without going through any other approval processes. — Seiji Fujiwara"

Below are Seiji Fujiwara's autograph and the company seal.

Xingge was completely stunned after seeing these three photos.

She looked up at Yamada Ryo in disbelief.

"Yamada...you...you're...the vice president?!"

Ms. PA also came over to take a look, and gasped after reading it.

"This...this is too..."

Hongxia's eyes widened in disbelief: "Liang...you...you're actually the vice president?!"

Yamada Ryo nodded calmly: "Yes. Although it's a temporary post, the actual work will definitely be done by a professional team. But..."

She paused for a moment: "The key decisions are indeed made by me."

Xingge's mouth was wide open.

She knew that Seiji Fujiwara was good to Ryo Yamada, but she didn't expect it to be this good.

To hand over the decision-making power of a music label directly to a sixteen-year-old high school student?

This is too...

"Unbelievable!" Ms. PA murmured to herself, "Even though Ryo is only on temporary assignment, this level of delegation... it's simply..."

“It’s practically like giving the entire label to Yamada…” Hoshika chimed in.

She looked at Yamada Ryo, her expression becoming extremely complicated.

envious……

Shock……

There was also a hint of...jealousy?

Do not……

wrong……

Xingge quickly shook her head, trying to banish the thought from her mind.

There was a long silence.

Finally, she sighed.

"Liang, since you have such a lot of decision-making power, then..." She looked at Hongxia, "If Hongxia signs the contract, can you take good care of her?"

Yamada Ryo nodded solemnly: "I will."

"The contract terms..." Xingge asked again, "What are they like?"

“Same as me,” Yamada Ryo said. “70% of the copyright revenue goes to the artist, and 30% goes to the company. Complete creative freedom. No forced commercial activities.”

Xingge gasped.

Ms. PA's eyes widened as well.

"Seventy-seven percent?!" Ms. PA exclaimed in surprise, "This...this is too..."

“In the industry, artists usually get 20-30%…” Xing Ge muttered to himself, “70%… that’s practically charity.”

Yamada Ryo looked at Hoshika and Ms. PA.

She could tell that although the two people were shocked by the 70% profit-sharing ratio, deep down they were...

There are still concerns.

“Actually…” Yamada Ryo said calmly, “I have the final say on Nijika’s contract.”

"Huh?" Xingge was taken aback.

A faint smile played on Yamada Ryo's lips: "If Nijika wants it, even a 1/9 split is fine."

"1/9?" Miss PA didn't react.

“The company takes 1, and Hongxia takes 9,” Yamada Ryo said calmly.

"What?!"

Xingge and Miss PA both screamed in surprise.

Hongxia's eyes widened: "Liang...Liang, what are you saying?!"

“I said…” Yamada Ryo repeated, his tone still calm, “I decide the revenue sharing for Nijika’s contract. Even if the company only takes 10% and Nijika takes 90%, it’s fine.”

She paused, looking at Hongxia with a serious expression:

"Because this brand company works for me. Seiji said I can do whatever I want."

The practice room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Xingge's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't say a word.

Ms. PA pushed up her glasses, her hands trembling slightly.

Hongxia stared in shock at Yamada Ryo.

After several seconds——

"Ryo—!" Nijika suddenly rushed over and hugged Yamada Ryo tightly. "You...you're telling the truth?! It's really possible to split it 1/9?!"

"Yes." Yamada Ryo nodded. "Really."

"But...but..." Hongxia let go of his hand, her face full of conflict, "This is so unfair to the company...and..."

She bit her lip: "Besides, I can't take advantage of you..."

Yamada Ryo looked at Nijika's conflicted expression, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

“It’s alright,” Yamada Ryo said softly. “This isn’t me taking advantage of you. I genuinely want to help you.”

“But…” Hongxia still hesitated.

Xingge suddenly spoke.

“Hongxia.” Her voice was a little hoarse, “A normal business revenue sharing ratio is fine.”

"Huh?" Hongxia turned to look at her older sister.

Xingge took a deep breath and looked at Yamada Ryo: "Yamada, Nijika is right. Overly generous offers... can actually make people uneasy."

“Let’s do as you said before…” she paused, “7/3 split. Although this is quite rare in the industry, at least it makes it seem like… a normal business partnership.”

Ms. PA nodded in agreement: "I agree. A 1/9 split... that's too much."

Yamada Ryo looked at them, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay. Let's split it 7/3 then."

Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Yes! Thank you, Liang!"

But Xingge and Ms. PA exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing complex emotions.

to be honest……

They were tempted.

I'm really moved.

70% revenue sharing, complete creative freedom, no mandatory commercial activities...

This is practically a nanny-style contract.

If they had encountered those conditions back then...

Xingge smiled bitterly to herself.

He would kneel down on the spot to sign the contract.

but……

She still had reservations.

“…Yamada…” Hoshika carefully chose her words, “Although the contract terms are very good… this kind of… dabbling company…”

"Just dabbling?" Yamada Ryo raised an eyebrow.

“It’s just that…” Xingge bit her lip, “without a professional operations team, without industry connections, without various exposure channels… it’s hard for a company like that to survive.”

Ms. PA nodded in agreement: "Xingge is right. The music industry is ruthless; without sufficient resources, even the best conditions are useless."

Hongxia's expression became hesitant again.

She looked at Yamada Ryo.

Yamada Ryo looked at Hoshika and Ms. PA, and suddenly smiled.

"hehe……"

The laughter was soft, but full of confidence.

Xingge, Miss PA, and Hongxia were all stunned.

"Cool?" Hongxia asked, puzzled. "What are you laughing at?"

Yamada Ryo did not answer.

She picked up her phone again and swiped across the screen.

"What you're worried about..." she said calmly, "is the lack of a professional team, resources, and exposure channels, right?"

“That’s right.” Xingge nodded.

“What if…” Yamada Ryo looked up, her eyes gleaming, “I mean, what if this label has enough resources?”

"What resources?" Ms. PA asked.

Yamada Ryo did not give a direct answer.

She handed the phone to Xingge.

"See for yourselves."

Xingge took the phone.

On the screen is a new photo.

The photo's title is—

Genesis Music - Internal Music Library

Below, the song titles are listed in dense rows.

Xingge's eyes slowly widened.

"This is……"

"The music library," Yamada Ryo said calmly, "songs stored internally by the company."
