House Dad’s Literary Life Chapter 94

Chapter 94 – Act First and Explain Later

Mo Xiaojuan was not as innocent as Mo Fei. She could vaguely see Niu Meiling’s intention, but she still held her breath and did not argue with the big boss. She didn’t complain to Mo Fei until she came back from the program recording at Xiangbei TV station.

“Sister Fei, I think we should wait until the contract end, and then change ship or open our own studio!” Mo Xiaojuan said angrily, “The people in Tianmei doesn’t pay attention to us at all, and Sister Ling is also trying to suppress us!”

Mo Fei was silent for a long time, but shook her head and said, “Sister Ling has been kind to me. Unless they have gone too far, otherwise I can’t live up to what she’s done for me.”

In fact, there was still a sentence in Mo Fei’s heart that she didn’t say: “Even if I open my own studio, I will not betray Sister Ling and move to another agency.”

Mo Fei was a little moved when Mo Xiaojuan mentioned her suggestion of opening a studio. However, her original intention was not quite the same as Mo Xiaojuan’s. Mo Xiaojuan wanted to be freer and arrange album plans according to Mo Fei’s own ideas, while Mo Fei also wanted to be freer, but she wanted to arrange her itinerary according to her own ideas, reducing the number of commercial performances and program recordings she doesn’t want to take part in.

However, Mo Fei has not made this decision in her heart. After all, Sister Ling single-handedly cultivated her. When Sister Ling used to be her agent, she was really as meticulous as a mother taking care of her daughter. She also helped Mo Fei to avoid many torturous paths.

Including when Yang Yi beat up the rich second generation and robbed him of his car and ran away with Mo Fei. It was Sister Ling who came forward and it took a lot of favor to hold the matter down so that the rich second generation could no longer pursue the matter.

These years of kindness, Mo Fei kept it firmly in her heart. She wanted to repay Sister Ling, so she chose to come back and make a comeback in Sister Ling’s company.

“Do you still call what they did not excessive?” Mo Xiaojuan said discontentedly, “Zhenzhen and her agent all rode on top of us, and Sister Ling didn’t say a word for us. Elder Sister, look clearly. Sister Ling is no longer the original Sister Ling.”

“That’s because I really didn’t do well enough on the comeback album.” Mo Fei sighed. “No wonder Sister Ling told me to calm down and settle down, didn’t she?”

“But don’t you want to release a new album? Now the company has no plans to collect songs for you! How long do we have to wait now that we have to wait in line like everyone else?” Mo Xiaojuan asked.

Mo Fei was silent. Mo Xiaojuan actually said what’s in her heart. Mo Fei wanted to come up with a best-selling record, and if she wanted to return to the top, she needed the full support of the company.

Besides, Mo Fei didn’t want to wait.

Mo Xiaojuan saw that Mo Fei didn’t say a word. She smiled and said, “Sister, fortunately, I am too smart. I’ve asked Sister Ling for a promise. As long as we can put together 12 songs by ourselves, she will try her best to help us produce the album!”

Mo Fei was speechless: “Where are you going to get twelve songs?”

“Look for Mu Li’ang!” Mo Xiaojuan proudly said, “He is such an excellent songwriter, so he definitely has a lot of good songs, and ah, he is your admirer. He will write songs for you, and help you with the album. What a wonderful thing!”

Mo Fei became ashamed and angry, “Xiaojuan, how can you talk such nonsense?”

Her relationship with Yang Yi was stable now, even if there were some quarrels. But even if she and Yang Yi were lukewarm like in the past, Mo Fei didn’t want to accept the pursuit of others!

After all, Yang Yi is still Xixi’s father, isn’t he?

What’s more, now that her heart was gradually getting closer to Yang Yi, it was even more difficult for others to enter her heart!

Mo Fei had always felt a little guilty about accepting the songs written by this admirer. But Mo Fei liked both songs very much that she couldn’t decide to refuse it.

But now Mo Xiaojuan said that she wanted to continue to ask for songs from Mu Li’ang. It was not a matter of one or two songs, but a matter of ten songs. This debt of gratitude was too great for Mo Fei to bear!

“No, I don’t agree with this. I can’t ask him for songs again!” Mo Fei vetoed Mo Xiaojuan’s proposal.

“Heh, I knew you won’t agree.” Mo Xiaojuan triumphantly brought Mo Fei to her desk and clicked on an email. “So I did it first!”

In the email, Mo Xiaojuan sent an email to Mu Li’ang in the name of Mo Fei. Of course, Mo Xiaojuan did not use a very flattering tone or explicit words, but simply described her current situation and asked if Mu Li’ang had any new songs to give her.

“Mu Li’ang” replied. He didn’t say yes or no, but just said: “give me some time.”

“There’s still a chance!” Mo Xiaojuan said happily.

But she suddenly felt a bone chilling coldness and turned to see that Mo Fei was looking at her with cold eyes. Mo Xiaojuan shivered and could not smile. She was embarrassed.

“Mo Xiaojuan!” Mo Fei said word by word, “Who gave you the right? Sending him an email without my permission? Did I say I asked for it? The new album can’t be released now, I can wait! But I won’t allow you to ask him for songs! “

Because Mu Li’ang is a man!

Mo Fei didn’t want to get too involved with the opposite party!

And she didn’t want this to affect her and… Xixi’s father relationship!

Mo Xiaojuan panicked. Although she knew that Mo Fei, as her cousin, would not driver her away, but facing Mo Fei, who got so angry for the first time, she was still a little anxious.

“Sister, I was wrong. This time it was because I didn’t think about it.” Mo Xiaojuan lowered her head. She said with a weak voice and some grievances. “Next time, I will do things according to what you ask me to do, and I will never act first and explain later!”

Mo Fei bit her lower lip, and the coldness on her face dissipated a little before she said, “Send him another email to clarify.”

But Mo Xiaojuan actually emboldened herself and said, “Sister, don’t you need it? It was not easy for us to ask Mu Li’ang to write songs for us! If you think about it, Mu Li’ang is so good, maybe he can write even better songs than the previous two! “

Mo Fei froze for a moment, but this time she was not as firm as before.

As soon as Mo Xiaojuan saw that there was a chance, she hurriedly said, “Otherwise, let’s not clarify the email. What I said was also true! Later, when we have the opportunity to meet Mu Li’ang in the future, I’ll apologize to him.”

“At the moment, we can’t put all our hopes on Mu Li’ang. I’ll go to the Copyright Association’s website to pick new songs. I don’t care even if I get tired! I don’t believe that we can’t collect twelve songs!” Mo Xiaojuan patted her chest and said.

This approach was the most foolish. After all, in the context of good copyright protection, there were so many domestic songwriters. Every day, thousands of lyrics and songs were uploaded and recorded on the Copyright Association’s website, but most of them were poor quality songs!

Trying to find a good one among so many songs was like looking for a needle in a haystack! What’s more, it was possible that they might be competing with many companies in the process. If they are slow, they may not be able to get any.

But even if it was the most foolish approach, that was the only way for independent musicians.

Mo Fei sighed and said, “Just this once! Let me choose with you.” (TN: the “just this once” part was referring to what Mo Xiaojuan did, the act first and explain later.)
