"I refuse your apology for two reasons. First, I was indeed frightened, and even if your dog is harmless, Large breed dog are prohibited from being raised in the city, so your actions are already illegal! Second, even if I don't understand much about dogs, I still have basic judgment. It is a fact that your dog knocked me down, causing me great psychological trauma. Based on these two points, I refuse your sincere apology!"
Cheng Young came back with the design drawings and saw Xiao Chen seemingly replying to someone's message, with a cold look in her eyes.
She curiously glanced at the WeChat group messages, which were rapidly being covered by another person's replies to Xiao Chen's messages.
"This woman has a problem."
Before she could figure out what they were arguing about, Xiao Chen's screen went black, followed by the displeased voice of a man.
"What? You're saying I have a problem? I think your brain has been kicked by a donkey!"
Lin Muyan Throwing the phone on the bed a few times, her chest heaved with anger. She had simply rejected the apology of the homeowner association's dog owner, and yet this man was insane. He actually argued with her, saying that the problem was not with the dog but with her, and even turned the tables, claiming that he was too agitated and scared the dog. His dog was just a bit expensive, not some rare breed, and he still wanted her to pay for the medical expenses? She hadn't even asked him for emotional distress compensation yet! "Madman! Lunatic! And he's still a man, what a piece of trash!"
She kicked the slippers at her feet as if the softness beneath her feet was the detestable face of someone. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Just as Lin Muyan was about to send a message to question the other party about which floor to go to for a fight, the phone that had been thrown aside suddenly rang. The self-set fresh and clean song felt inexplicably harsh and uncomfortable. "I don't accept any sales pitches. If you continue to pester me, I will report you to the police and send you a lawyer's letter."
She spoke harshly into the phone, venting her frustration. "Sister Yan, is it really necessary—"
Liu Er Bao was startled by her loud voice, and his voice became quieter and quieter. Lin Muyan then realized and suppressed her emotions.
"What's the matter?" Although her tone was much gentler, you could still tell that her mood was very bad. Knowing that her friend must have been upset by someone else, Liu Er Bao chuckled a few times and said, "I just came to ask if you downloaded the software I recommended to you last time? Our company is doing some information feedback recently, and I thought you were quite interested. Can you help me with a survey?"
"There should be plenty of high-quality men in 'True Love.' Have you found anyone you like? Do you need me, as an insider, to provide you with some data for reference?"
Lin Muyan's anger hadn't subsided yet, and as soon as she heard the word 'men,' she exploded.
"Don't mention men to me in the future. 'High-quality'? I think it should be in quotes. They are all overly confident, checking backgrounds before even meeting, acting like they're police making an arrest. Ha, there are no reliable men in this world."
"That thing, I'm going to uninstall it. I don't want to waste my precious time on these stinky men. Sister, I want to focus on my career, I want to be independent, and I want to live a long life! Stay away from men, stay away from disasters!"
Liu Er Bao was bombarded by Lin Muyan as if she was preaching, and after asking a few casual questions, she hurriedly hung up the phone. Obviously, she knew very well that it's best not to provoke the angry Lin Muyan.
Roaring for a while, most of the pent-up frustration in her heart dissipated.
Lin Muyan stared at the True Love icon on her phone screen, without any hesitation, decisively uninstalled the app.
Looking at the clean wallpaper on her phone again, with only the original icons left, she couldn't help but smile contentedly.
There are still regrets, after all, that Apprentice is quite to her taste, simply good at teasing, but this is only on the network. The real Apprentice may be a big, rough man.
Lin Muyan is more inclined to realism than romanticism, and it's better for her to use the time to strengthen her Peak Entertainment rather than waste it on these empty things.
She has only two years to change the entire operation system, and the time left for her is not much.
Thinking about the bet with the old man, the guilt of not being able to say goodbye to Apprentice disappeared from my heart. The next day, Lin Muyan leaned against the armrest of the swivel chair. "This is the revised contract for the May Fourth Movement. Take a look, and if there are any issues, contact Assistant Shen for modifications."
Her voice was steady and calm, the kind of composure only a person in a position of power would have. These days, she has been carefully examining and pondering over the existing assets of Peak Entertainment. Among the newly debuted or yet-to-debut artists, May Fourth Movement stands out, and Peak Entertainment wants to make a change - they must keep May Fourth Movement.
"We are young, but not naive. Do you think you can keep us with just this contract? You've miscalculated, Chen Ming can't do it, and neither can you." Several people clearly had negotiated this long ago, with team leader Annan calmly confronting Lin Muyan. She pushed away the contract handed to her by Lin Muyan, and her mature expression, mismatched with her age, was very untimely on her face.
Lin Muyan With a gentle smile, she never expected to be able to make the other party accept it right away. Pressing down on the corner of the contract, she slowly and firmly pushed it back. "I think you should reconsider."
May Fourth Movement The situation is quite special. These children come from incomplete families, so in the eyes of the fans, they are more like a new hope for an incomplete and flawed life.
Lin Muyan It is precisely because of this understanding that the contract terms are being renegotiated. Instead of deceiving them like Chen Ming did to extend the contract, she hopes that they will realize the importance of Peak Entertainment and choose to stay voluntarily. "No need to consider, leaving Peak is the best choice for us. We have found a place willing to sponsor us, as for the penalty for breach of contract, we will sue Peak."
Annan spoke resolutely, but Lin Muyan's smile deepened even more.
"Alright, if you don't want to stay at peak, I won't force you. But I ask you, are you willing to sponsor a place that will keep all five people?"
Lin Muyan had previously investigated and found that only the lead singer and the main bassist of the May Fourth Movement were extremely popular, while the other three were mediocre. From the perspective of a manager, if a group cannot truly break into the mainstream, it's better to split them up and let those with more ability go solo.
Annan and the other four looked at each other and fell silent one after another.
"So I want you to take another look at the contract, see the conditions I've set out."
They had been deceived too many times. Annan looked uneasily at the people behind him, seeing that they were also suspicious and uneasy. He gritted his teeth and took the contract to look at it again.
With just one glance, her expression changed.
Lin Muyan saw it all, watching Annan turn the pages faster and faster, her smile never wavering.
Some things are better seen and compared in reality than just being talked about.
"Peak will be so good? Impossible. You must have set a trap to deceive us again, just like before, let us sign the contract first, and then tear up the agreement, making it all useless."
"Peak how could they be willing to hire the best lyricist for us, and allow us to participate in all activities as a group? Peak will only exploit us, only exploit our rights."
Annan became more and more excited, but his eyes refused to leave that agreement.
Several others also stood up to look at the contents of the agreement behind her. "It's all in black and white. I have no need to deceive you. Besides, I can also promise that for the May Fourth Movement endorsements in the future, the company will only take thirty percent of the profits, and the remaining seventy percent will be divided equally among the five of you," Lin Muyan calmly added the condition that they didn't dare to mention.
"I don't believe it," Annan said, eyes red with anger as she threw down the agreement.
"You have no reason to be so good to us," Peak said, even though we are currently at a low point, there are others stronger than us, and there is no reason to give us so many conveniences."
Lin Muyan smiled, impressed by their cautiousness, "To tell you the truth, your May Fourth Movement is currently the best achievement that Peak Entertainment can boast. By saving you, I am also saving Peak Entertainment. I know you still have many doubts about me, but I will prove the legality of this agreement to you."
She turned to the door, and a well-dressed man in a Western three-piece suit and leather shoes walked in, carrying a briefcase. "This is my business card," he handed a shiny gold card to the group, with the words "Hengxin Law Firm" embossed on it. Annan clicked her tongue, "Hengxin Law Firm... isn't that the prestigious Hengxin Law Firm, one of the top four law firms in the country? Are you the famous lawyer Zhen Heng who was widely acclaimed online last year?"
The man nodded lightly, then smiled slightly at Lin Muyan, instantly dispelling the children's suspicions with a familiar aura.
Zhen Heng's appearance in the courtroom video was still in the top ten on the internet until this year. His handsome face was truly unforgettable.
After signing the contract, Lin Muyan looked at the watch and said, "Rest today. Tomorrow, two brands will be looking for you to shoot advertisements. Bring out your best spirits."
After bidding farewell to the May Fourth Movement, Lin Muyan looked at Zhen Heng, who always wore a faint smile but faced the challenges in court like a hunting leopard. "How's Uncle Zhen doing? Did the surgery go smoothly?" When mentioning his father, Zhen Heng's expression dimmed for a moment, but he calmly tugged at the corner of his lips in front of Lin Muyan. "It went smoothly, don't worry. You're busy, I'll find you another day."
"Okay, goodbye." Lin Muyan waved, and didn't go to see the person off because of the video conference. In order to change the atmosphere of Peak Entertainment, Lin Muyan is putting in a lot of effort.
After a week of struggling with lighting and burning the oil, there is finally some progress. At least the company's negative growth has turned around, and the benefits are starting to recover. Thanks to the active cooperation of the May Fourth Movement, Lin Muyan also took the opportunity to take on a few more brand endorsements for them. Although they are not as famous as international brands, the reputation of the few endorsements is still good, which can be considered a steady and stable pace.
" Sister Yan, your company seems pretty good now. I was worried when you joined peak that you might be bullied, but now it looks like your company has a bright future. It even makes me a little tempted to consider switching to your company."
"Liu Er Bao blows on the freshly grilled pork belly and says as he puts it in his mouth, 'You better stick to your job. Our company has high standards, and your chubby image doesn't meet the requirements.'"
Lin Muyan deliberately teased Liu Er Bao, making Liu Er Bao stomp his feet in anger, "Hmph, you're just a little white-collar worker, your salary isn't as high as mine in technical work. Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps."
Song Xi watched the two of them bickering with a smile, and noticing that the grill was a bit charred, considerately called the waiter to change the grill.
"By the way, Sister Yan, I checked out the personal shopper you mentioned last time, but I didn't see the discounted Kelly bag you talked about."
Lin Muyan laughed and said, "Oh, maybe her family's items haven't been taken off the shelves. Things that cost two or three hundred yuan are always in high demand."
Liu Er Bao nodded, but his attention was soon drawn to the sizzling and oily potato chips.
Lin Muyan breathed a sigh of relief. She had never mentioned her family situation to her two best friends. They just assumed she was a young white-collar worker who had recently returned to China, with an income similar to theirs. They were all just ordinary people.
On weekdays, she spends a lot of money, and the two of them never thought much about it. They believed it was genuine when she said it was high-quality imitation goods, which made Lin Muyan feel a little sour in her heart. Part of her was happy that they trusted her, and part of her felt sorry for deceiving them.
"What are you thinking? Hurry up and eat. The meat won't taste good when it gets cold."
The bowl of seasoning was piled with meat, and the smiling faces of Liu Er Bao and Song Xi made Lin Muyan smile and blush as well.
"Peak Entertainment is really something now, haha have you seen this? Some netizens are saying it's all thanks to the new president of Peak Entertainment, this time it's like an old tree in spring blossoming anew."
"Hey Mu Yan, what does your new president look like? Such an impressive person, I heard she's a woman, is she pretty?"
Song Xi also joined the conversation with great curiosity.
Lin Muyan couldn't help but laugh and cry as she nudged her with her elbow, "Even as a top student, you're still so gossipy. You're not as great as you think, just an ordinary person."
"But Er Bao said, in entertainment companies, the boss is either a handsome man or a beautiful woman, at worst, they're a middle-aged handsome uncle or a beautiful aunt."
"Are you really going to believe Er Bao's nonsense?"
Being told by Lin Muyan, Song Xi blinked and lowered her head shyly.
Peak Entertainment frequently trends on hot searches, with extremely high national popularity. Almost half of the top ten lists are about "Changing the President of Peak Entertainment and Rectifying Unhealthy Practices."
"Wen Zimo, if you mention Peak Entertainment to me again, do you believe I will tell Uncle Wen that you have returned to the country right now?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't mention those four words again. " With his hands clasped together in front of his chest, Wen Zimo knelt on the wool carpet in a repentant manner.
In less than a minute, he approached with a playful smile, "What is Designer Xiao looking at? Since coming back from New York, you've been holding your phone and waiting for someone's message, haven't you?"
Xiao Chen pushed his head away and kicked his shin, saying, "Get lost."
"Ah!" Without Wen Zimo causing trouble on the side, Xiao Chen looked at the phone screen again, which was still dark with no sign of coming online, staring at a morning profile picture. He had just finished two big shows in New York and finally had some free time to come back, wanting to share with that person, but until now, there was no response at all.
Even though he's just a chatbot in the software, Xiao Chen can't explain why he's so distracted by it, always unable to stop thinking about it.
In the dim night, Wen Zimo is nodding off from exhaustion. He sees that Xiao Chen has no intention of going to sleep and can't help but ask him, "I just thought you were bored and wanted to give you some entertainment. You're not really getting involved, are you? That girl, really, can't handle the game or is too good at playing people. She strung you along and then ran away. Tsk tsk, what kind of character is that."
Xiao Chen doesn't say anything, just suddenly turns off the phone screen. His face looks slightly dark on the dim screen, with an indescribable coldness and annoyance.
