Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 37 I Refuse

"Who says I'll work forever? The contract will expire next year." Yu Dongqing said, "Besides, if I resign, I won't go to Xingcan. Why jump from one pit to another?"

In front of my friend, Yu Dongqing made it clear: "I'm resigning now, not because I'm worried about claiming damages from the company according to the contract, but because I want to help Wu Lan. After all, he has taken care of me for ten years. If I put it in Xingcan, I guess Already fired.

"Okay, okay, you have love and righteousness for Wu Lan haha."

Yu Dongqing glared at him, why did this sound so weird?

"Okay, I'm going home, I'm going fishing when I'm free, I'm obsessed with this recently." Yu Dongqing said again.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang said: "Hey, don't rush to fish, there is one more thing, July 7th is coming soon!"

"What happened on July 7?" Yu Dongqing couldn't figure it out.

"It's the founding day of our Qingmanshoe band!"

Oh.
Yu Dongqing remembered that when she was a sophomore 18 years ago, when she was just preparing for the summer vacation, the Qingmanshoe band was announced.

Yu Dongqing still remembers that day, the four of them held a small ceremony in an empty classroom of the school, gathered some good friends to witness together, sang a few songs, and finally went to a night market stall to drink beer and carnival , and finally one by one got drunk.

Think about those days.

What a fool.

"What I mean is, let's celebrate this year too! We're not old yet, so it's a pity that we can't sing when we're old," Zhang Yang said.

"how to celebrate?"

"July 7th happens to be Friday, the four of us reorganized and went to Yimin's tavern to celebrate and sing!"

That's a good idea!

"Okay, I have no objection." Yu Dongqing readily agreed.

"Okay then, I'll contact Du Hui and Yimin to see their situation and try to succeed!" Zhang Yang said.

This matter is settled like this, Zhang Yang will run errands without Yu Dongqing worrying about it, this is also his strong point.

Two days later, Yu Dongqing was called to the office by Wu Lan not long after she went to work in the morning.

"Holly, I have some good news for you." Wu Lan changed from her usual frosty face to a happy face: "The boss of the company has decided that, in view of your outstanding work performance recently, he has decided to give you a salary increase from next month! A monthly increase of 8000 Yuan!"

Ah?
Calculating his own salary, the monthly salary reaches 40000, which is relatively high among ordinary employees in Jinye.

Of course, a salary of 50 a year is really nothing.

But the salary increase is finally a happy thing.Yu Dongqing said thank you.

"And Dongqing, I'm fighting with Mr. Tan to amend the contract you signed with the company, so that the works you create are changed to general employment works, so that you have the copyright!"

This is a bit unexpected!

Yu Dongqing was a little surprised, but said thank you again.

"Holly, there's something I don't know if I should ask?" Wu Lan, who always spoke crisply, suddenly became a little hesitant.

Yu Dongqing smiled heartily: "Our friendship for many years, what can't you ask? Tell me."

"Didn't you have dinner with Xingcan's music director at Yanjingliang restaurant the night before?" Wu Lan asked cautiously, and then quickly added: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't spy on you, it was just a friend of mine who saw it. , I was a little curious and told me."

So this is it?
No wonder it was a promise to raise my salary again today, I didn’t expect there was such a story behind it?

Yu Dongqing thought for a while, and she understood the reason.

He was amused in his heart, but he said it frankly.

"Yes, I ate with Wei Kai and Zhang Yang as company. Wei Kai wanted me to switch to Xingcan, so I asked Zhang Yang to persuade me."

"This Zhang Yang is really annoying. I had to say a few words to him when I saw him that day! How can I speak for outsiders?!" Wu Lan was a little dissatisfied.

Liu Yimin made public that they are all members of the Qingmang Shoe Band, and Wu Lan has known each other since she was in college, and they are relatively close.

After hearing Wu Lan's words, Yu Dongqing just smiled and didn't speak.

"You didn't agree, did you?" Wu Lan's tone seemed a little nervous.

"No, I said that I have no plans to leave Jinye now." Yu Dongqing said truthfully, "If that was the case, I would have handed in my resignation letter to you long ago."

"Heh, Dongqing, I'm sure I saw you right!" Wu Lan let out a long breath.

"Well, thank you. If it's okay, I'm leaving now." Yu Dongqing stood up after speaking.

"Wait. There is one more thing." Wu Lan said quickly.

"what's up?"

"You can also see that the song "Learning to Meow" you wrote is very popular now. Ai Tong and Zhang Fan are rapidly rising in popularity. The company is going to strike while the iron is hot and release an album for the two of them. The company means can you Participate? Then write a hit song like "Learn to Meow"."

Want to write that kind of saliva song?
If I write about Zhang Yang and Du Hui, they will laugh me to death!

Yu Dongqing decided to refuse.

"Wu Lan, you also know that writing songs requires inspiration. The weather has been so hot recently, and my brain is like a paste. I wrote several songs in a row, and I have no inspiration."

Regarding Yu Dongqing's words, Wu Lan had nothing to do with him.

She has known Yu Dongqing's temper for a long time, you can't force him.

"Okay then, I'll find someone else." Wu Lan didn't make things difficult for him.

Fortunately, another master composer in China has been contacted, and the company's best music producers are called together to prepare a tailor-made album for the two of them, and try to sell it well.

Besides, as soon as Yu Dongqing returned to the office, Li Wei joined her.

"Congratulations, Brother Yu, I heard that your salary has been raised? You want to treat me!"

The news spread so fast?
But this Li Wei is a well-known inquisitor in the office, and he always likes to care about these things.

"It's increased." Yu Dongqing admitted generously: "Okay, then at noon, let's change places instead of going to Liyuan Restaurant."

"Sister Yun, Brother Yu's salary has been raised, so I want to treat you, will you go?" Li Wei immediately took out his phone and sent Luo Yun a WeChat message.

Of course Luo Yun would not refuse, and after replying, she sent Yu Dongqing a private WeChat message.

"I heard that the company plans to take advantage of the popularity of the song "Learn to Meow" and create another album for the two of them. Holly, do you want to write songs again?"

"Yes, but I refused." Yu Dongqing quickly replied a WeChat message. "If I write a song like this again, I will be laughed to death by my buddies!"

Ah?
Luo Yun knew that Yu Dongqing had been in a band before, so he probably was talking about his group of friends. It seems that one of them still runs a folk bar in Sanlitun.

Yu Dongqing's current thoughts are not here, because the four buddies have already decided to agree with Zhang Yang's proposal to form a concert to celebrate the [-]th anniversary of the establishment of the Qingmanshoe Band.

The location is at Ten Mile Peach Blossom Tavern.
