"The reserves are definitely enough, it just depends on how much you can come up with."
"Hmph, you just keep boasting."
The two chatted as the sky gradually darkened.
Because Zhao Jing still had business to attend to, Lin Yi slowed down his drinking speed to avoid delaying her business.
Not long after, a rapper named Feiting came up the steps.
Although his attire was a bit bizarre, it must be said he had some talent; both the lyrics and melody were quite good.
Zhao Jing rarely got serious, but she listened intently to the two songs he performed.
"So, what do you think? Give me your assessment."
"There’s something there, but not much. However, you said he’s very popular, so it just means that today’s young people have a different taste than ours."
"The main thing is you rarely interact with young people, so you don’t understand their preferences, and naturally, you can’t comprehend these things."
Zhao Jing said with a smile:
"If I hadn’t taken on the role of chief director for this New Year’s Eve gala, I might not have come into contact with these things either."
Lin Yi nodded; what he’s been dealing with lately is mostly news-related, so he’s not as attuned to the entertainment market.
"Today’s young people pursue novelty and excitement, their aesthetics are definitely different from ours."
"Indeed."
Ring ring ring—
Just then, Zhao Jing’s phone rang, her expression became a bit more serious as she answered the call.
"Mr. Huang."
"I’m in Zone C, at 024."
"Alright, alright, I’ll wait for you here."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jing said:
"Feiting’s agent, Huang Yuanqi, is here. We are going to have a brief chat to finalize our cooperation intentions. You don’t have to bother about us, just continue eating."
"Should I clear the finished dishes and order some new ones?"
"No need to order new dishes, but the table should definitely be tidied up."
Zhao Jing called the waiter to clear away some of the leftover dishes and napkins, tidying up the table considerably.
Not long after, a man wearing glasses walked over quickly.
He didn’t seem much older than Zhao Jing and was dressed quite fashionably.
"Director Zhao, sorry to keep you waiting."
He was very polite and extended his hand immediately upon seeing Zhao Jing.
"Mr. Huang, you’re too kind. This is my colleague Lin Yi, the Executive Producer of ’Nearby News,’ who came along with me today."
"Hello, Principal Lin."
Huang Yuanqi extended his hand to shake Lin Yi’s, then sat down on the adjacent stool.
"I watched Feiting’s performance just now. It was excellent, and if it were placed on the New Year’s Eve gala, I’m sure the effect would be just as good."
"I’m always confident in Feiting’s live performances; he’s consistently stable. But there’s a dilemma we need to discuss now."
"What dilemma? Go ahead."
Zhao Jing sensed that Huang Yuanqi was going to ask for a price increase, but as long as it wasn’t too excessive, there was no need to fuss over it.
"Recently, people from Huangguo TV approached us, wanting Feiting to attend their New Year’s Eve gala. But we’ve already had an agreement, and one must keep their word. Personally, I really hope to collaborate with you."
This kind of approach was unexpected for Zhao Jing.
"Since you have this inclination, what’s the issue then?"
"It’s a bit complex. Their on-site audio equipment is provided by a company from Zhong Hai. To secure the equipment order, this company promised to help them resolve some scheduling issues with artists, so..."
Both Lin Yi and Zhao Jing understood what it meant.
"So this company approached you, wanting that rapper called Feiting to attend the Huangguo TV New Year’s Eve gala, right?"
"Yes."
"How much are they offering?"
"500,000 for two songs."
"This price is comparable to ours, and since you want to cooperate with us, the choice should be easy, right?" Lin Yi said:
"Is there anything else going on here?"
"Principal Lin, you’ve hit the nail on the head." Huang Yuanqi said with a troubled expression:
"That audio company has considerable influence in Zhong Hai. When they talked to me, they didn’t put it nicely, also adding that if we don’t collaborate with them, Feiting’s future shows in Zhong Hai will be hard to carry out, and if we don’t collaborate, they’ll go after us. It’s gotten to the point where I’m actually quite scared."
"You said all this so formally; I thought something major was happening." Lin Yi said with a smile:
"If it weren’t for that audio company’s threat, you’d have no concerns about cooperating with us, right?"
"Absolutely. I knew Director Zhao from before, and back then, when we were struggling, Director Zhao helped us out. Without these troubles, I would definitely be willing to cooperate with Director Zhao."
"As long as you say that, your cooperation will proceed normally. You don’t have to worry about anything else." Lin Yi said:
"Later, tell me the name of that audio company, and I’ll help you deal with these issues."
"Really?"
"Why not? Just relax, I’ll keep my word."
"Then thank you, Principal Lin. I’ll drink this toast to both you and Director Zhao."
Huang Yuanqi poured out a full cup from a new bottle of beer and drank it in one go.
"Principal Lin, Director Zhao, Feiting just finished his performance, and I need to go back and find him. Our cooperation will proceed as usual. You can start preparing the contract and fax it to me. If it can be done before tomorrow noon, I can go over to sign it."
"Alright, I’ll have it ready by tomorrow noon; let’s have a successful cooperation."
"Good."
After thanking both of them, Huang Yuanqi stood up and left.
But before taking a few steps, he stopped.
Lin Yi and Zhao Jing looked over to see two people walking towards him.
One of them looked familiar; it was Zhao Jing’s previous boyfriend.
She had mentioned him before; it seemed his name was Wu Shuming, while the remaining person was probably a friend of his.
Seeing Wu Shuming, Zhao Jing’s face turned cold, seemingly losing even the mood to eat.
"It really is him!"
Following Zhao Jing’s gaze, they discovered she had been staring at a tall man with a Green Water Ghost watch on his wrist.
"Do you know him?"
"His name is Zhu Jian, the largest audio dealer in Zhong Hai, or rather, in the coastal area. Many stars’ concerts use their audio services."
"From this perspective, he’s quite impressive." Lin Yi said mildly.
"Very impressive indeed," Zhao Jing said:
"I’ve heard in recent years they’ve expanded their business, providing audio equipment for many concerts and events in the Mainland too. This collaboration is probably their proof of expanding into the Mainland market."
