Chapter 164 – We Know Him?
She was, after all, Sister Ling. Niu Meiling very tactfully solved the awkward situation: “It doesn’t matter. Since Mr. Mu Li’ang has made it clear that it wouldn’t be possible if it’s not Mo Fei, then we still have to respect the wishes of the creator! Anyway, it is Mo Fei’s songs. It is also a happy thing that the fertile water didn’t flow into other’s field.”1肥水不流外人田 – Don’t let one’s own fertile water flow into others’ field. This means that the benefits couldn’t be given to outsiders. In this context. It’s a good thing because the company will still be the one to benefit from the songs.
“Ha, ha, ha, yes, Sister Ling is right.” Jian Chao smiled awkwardly and sat down.
“Sister Chao!” Zhenzhen couldn’t hardly retain her composure. She watched the duck fly away from her mouth and pulled Jian Chao’s clothes anxiously.
However, how could Jian Chao have the mood to comfort her now?
Niu Meiling acted calmly, as if nothing had happened just now. She waved her hand very imposingly, made a summary, and said, “Well, anyway, your Sister Ling is still someone who keep her words. From today on, Planning Department, Public Relations Department…… all the various departments, pay attention to me. Mobilize the resources, recording, shooting music video, and create momentum in the early stage. Mo Fei’s new album needs to get started!”
Mo Fei looked at Sister Ling, as if the ice had melted a little, and nodded slightly.
However, only she knew that today’s incident had left a bitter feeling in her heart.
The unfamiliar Sister Ling, who made her trembled just now, was no longer the one she originally remembered.
After the meeting was dismissed, Mo Fei and Mo Xiaojuan went back to their office without a word. After they returned to their office, Mo Xiaojuan triumphantly said to her cousin: “Sister, you don’t know, I think that surnamed Jian was already unhappy. Today, I finally gave her a slap in the face, which is very gratifying.”
Mo Fei shook her head, sat down wearily and said, “I didn’t expect Sister Ling to help them. I really didn’t expect it. I’m so disappointed.”
Mo Xiaojuan rolled her eyes and said, “Sister, why are you still so naive? Can’t you see that Sister Ling was acting? Without Sister Ling’s nod, would Jian Chao dare to rob our song so blatantly? Maybe, it was Sister Ling who arranged this!”
“It couldn’t be, right?” Mo Fei frowned deeply, hesitated and said.
“How could it not? Wasn’t Jian Chao there yesterday? As a result, such a situation arose at the meeting, and so many people appeared to follow suit. If there were no tricks behind it, I wouldn’t believe it!” Mo Xiaojuan waved her hand and said.
“And I also specially observed Sister Ling’s expression. Heh, this Niu Meiling, I didn’t see her look surprised from beginning to end. She obviously already knew about it!” Mo Xiaojuan said angrily.
“Well… In any case, things have already reached this point, let’s not pursue it any further. If things get stiff, we won’t be able to have the means to be friends with her anymore!” Mo Fei still pulled Mo Xiaojuan and persuaded her.
“Who wants to be friends with her? Sister, I’m telling you, if it weren’t for Mu Li’ang’s vigilance, we would have been trapped by them!” Mo Xiaojuan said hatefully.
“Yes, you printed those agreements before the meeting. I forgot to ask you, was it Mu Li’ang who texted you? What’s going on?” Mo Fei asked curiously.
Mo Xiaojuan triumphantly pulled Mo Fei to the computer, took out her cell phone and explained to Mo Fei: “In the morning, I received a text message from an unfamiliar number, which turned out to be Mu Li’ang’s. He told me that something was wrong and asked me to go to a newly registered email address. Then he sent an email in that email address with our stack of authorizations attached, and then there were several screenshots…”
“Humph humph! You see, I don’t know who used our email address to send an e-mail to Mu Li’ang, but the content was so disgusting!2In a sense that the one who sent the email was trying to be coquettish. Later, I went to our email address to read it, but the traces were cleared, but I guess it was someone from the company who did it! Fortunately, it was too disgusting. Mu Li’ang knew something was wrong, so he sent us a direct authorization.” Mo Xiaojuan said triumphantly, “I just hid it and wait for Jian Chao, that b*tch, to give herself away, and then hit her hard in the face!”
Mo Fei frowned and read the email carefully. She was relatively calm, so she saw a problem: “Xiaojuan, how do you think Mu Li’ang knows it might be Sister Ling and the others who wanted to steal our song?”
“Ah?” Mo Xiaojuan hasn’t considered this question. Now that Mo Fei has raised it, she also scratched her head, “Right, how does he know?”
“Maybe it’s because he didn’t know who sent that email, making Mu Li’ang to speculate?” Mo Xiaojuan guessed.
“That e-mail didn’t give much information.” Mo Fei3Raw was Mo Xiaojuan. I think this is a typo. This should be Mo Fei.shook her head. “By the way, did you contact Mu Li’ang with that cell phone number? In any case, we should thank him for helping us so much!”
Mo Xiaojuan spread her hand, and she said helplessly, “No, I tried to call back at that time, but the phone has been turned off and I tried several times.”
“Why didn’t he answer the phone?” Mo Fei frowned.
“I don’t know. That man is mysterious, as if he were afraid that we might know who he is.” Mo Xiaojuan curled her lips.
“Afraid?” Mo Fei seemed to have caught some clue.
“Yeah! Chen Yijie has seen him, and we’ve talked about it several times, but he is not willing to show up!” Mo Xiaojuan hummed.
Mo Fei suddenly blurted out, as if Conan4Conan from the anime Detective Conan. Meaning as if she had figure out the reason. possessed her body, “Or is it because we know him?”
Mo Xiaojuan giggled and said, “Is it possible that he is also someone from our company? Oh, but the possibility is too small. In fact, I prefer to believe that he may be too ugly to show his face.”
Mo Fei, led off by her, smiled angrily and patted her on the head and said, “Don’t talk about others like that. After all, he is still our benefactor.”
While they were talking and laughing cheerfully, Niu Meiling’s office was covered with dark clouds.
“Sister Ling, that Mo Xiaojuan and Mo Fei, their wings are really hard. You can’t indulge them!” Jian Chao exclaimed, “Ah, Zhenzhen has been tearfully talking to me for a long time, saying that she still wants to sing ‘Crossing The Ocean To See You.’ I can’t bear it!”
“You talk to Mo Fei, if she agrees, I have no problem with it.” Niu Meiling said coldly.
Jian Chao still knew how to take the helm in the face of the wind5见风使舵 – lit. see the wind and set the helm (idiom); fig. to act pragmatically; to be flexible and take advantage of the situation.. She said with a smile, “As if she6Referring to Mo Feiwould agree. I’ve already lectured her7Referring to Zhenzhen. I said, how could we possible get such a good thing now? Mo Fei, that cheap person, that miser, eats meat by herself and doesn’t give others any soup.”
Niu Meiling snorted.
“Sister Ling, Mo Fei’s new album, you’re giving it to her just like that? If this becomes popular, the next time she signs a contract with us, we still have to sign her a top contract! What kind of money are we making?” Jian Chao said cautiously.
Niu Meiling frowned and didn’t respond.
“Why don’t we just give some resources? Anyway, whether it could become popular or not depends on her own good fortune.” Jian Chao egged on, “it’s just so happens that Zhenzhen is going to release a new album, so you should pay more attention to it. Zhenzhen is such a good child. Even if she becomes popular, she won’t forget her roots, not to mention that she still has four or five years left on her contract. Pushing her outis in the best interest of our company!”
Niu Meiling took a deep look at Jian Chao and saw the other party’s selfishness.
However, this statement was also true. In term of the rate of return, it would be better to push a newcomer to the top than the signed Mo Fei…8There was a part here that I just didn’t how to word it… it’s along the line the of “it was better to push out a new product (Zhenzhen) that to serve up the same old product (Mo Fei)”.
