July 19th, Shuntianfu, Huage Records, Restroom.

  He and He Runkui made similar choices. After the sales ranking of Dongguan Bookstore was released on Monday, the two-week sales surge caused Huage Records to quickly withdraw Wu Xingshu from Shuntianfu and cancel all previously scheduled promotional plans.

  Now, after the high-level meeting of Huaying Records ended, Wu Jie, the agent of Wuxu Suxin, was patiently conveying the meaning from the company's high-level to the five girls.

  "In short, the company means that your current situation is very dangerous, but not completely hopeless. As long as you do a good job on the next album, like your previous one "Sisters Stand Up", even if it can't immediately restore your popularity to its original state, at least half of it can be restored, and you can continue to be the number one domestic youth idol group. Hmm, in this regard, the company will definitely make its greatest effort."

  "This effort, you can also guess, of course, is to try your best to repair the relationship with Li Xianqian, and strive for the next album to still let him do it for you. This time, Huang said that he would spare no expense! No matter how much money Li Xian wants or what price he wants, as long as he agrees to do it for you, the company will not hesitate this time! In fact, in the future, the company will also try its best to restore contact with Xianqian and strive for everyone to resume their cooperative relationship."

  "However, President Huang also said that after the last incident, there is already a slight crack between our company and Qian Shao's side. So, he hopes you won't just wait for the company to help you contact them. Since you have cooperated with Qian Shao quite well before and have some relationship with each other, President Huang hopes that in the future, you can contact them more often, speak nicely to them, and ask for their help."

  "You're all girls, and Jian Shao is a boy. Generally, boys can't resist girls' requests, right? So, everyone think carefully, rack your brains if you have to. Think until your heads hurt if you must. In short, the future trend depends on whether you can eliminate the anger in Jian Shao's heart. We're all under the same roof, so let's all compromise a bit. Okay?"

  Here is the translation:

  At this point, Wu Jie couldn't help but turn her head to look at Wang Jingxue, with a hint of a smile on her face, and said cautiously: "Jingxue, we all know that last time it was you who persuaded Jian Shao to help you girls make the album 'Sisters Stand Up'. So this time, although the company did something wrong before, but considering the future prospects of you five sisters... can't you just put up with it a bit more? You shouldn't always be so cold and icy, girls should smile to look pretty. Why don't you call Jian Shao back later, okay?"

  Wang Jingxue bowed her head for a moment, then raised it and said expressionlessly: "But... what am I supposed to say on the phone? What can I say? Just that our company already knows we were wrong last time, so we shouldn't have been stingy with that little bit of money and chased you away. Now you come back! Come back and continue helping us write songs, help us make an album. Our boss Huang said this time the price is whatever you want to quote!... Should I say it like that? And then he'll obediently come back?"

  Wu's sister heard this and her face was extremely embarrassed.

  She could hear that Wang Jingxue was sarcastic about the company's attitude of being arrogant and then humble, and if she thought about it at that time, she was also helping the company to persuade them. So this sentence probably included herself as well. But at this moment, she didn't dare to, nor could she afford to offend Wang Jingxue, after all, even if this album failed, Wu Xing Yu Su was no longer the same Wu Xing Yu Su as before. It wasn't something that her agent could control at will anymore.

  She could only smile awkwardly and say, "I know you're upset, but you also know that this is a matter of life and death for all of you now. It's not the time to hold grudges, right? I couldn't control Huang Zong, so I'll apologize to you instead. How about it? If you can just bring Qian Shao back, I'll apologize to him too, okay?"

  Wang Jingxue was always cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Although she had a temper, when Wu sister bowed down to her, she suddenly only had a stiff face left and couldn't say anything more.

  She didn't speak, and several other girls were also lost in thought, and the rest room suddenly became quiet.

  When Liao Liao held a press conference to announce the listing time of "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu", Si Ma Duo Duo and Zhou Pingping from Wu Xing Wu Su had some complaints, after all, the company on the other side had just broken up with Li Qian, and then Liao Liao came out to attack them. With the relationship between Li Qian and Liao Liao, it may not have been Li Qian's intention at first, but Li Qian knew about it afterwards and didn't stop it. In their opinion, this was naturally suffocating.

  But never mind whether you're out of breath or not. If you win, that's fine. Now that you've lost so badly, what's the use of having any more energy?

  When they saw the sales of their new album plummeting, no matter how arrogant they were, they immediately understood in their hearts: what can be done even if the new album that attacked them was originally Li Qian's intention?

  You want to kick me out, no matter what the reason is, whether it's the company's or personal reasons. Anyway, once someone is kicked out, that's it. If someone else were in my position, they wouldn't think of teaching this side a lesson? The difference probably lies in the fact that most people don't have this ability, but Li Qian happens to have it, so he thought about doing it and did it easily!

  At first, he raised his hand and said to lift you up, and immediately lifted you up. But now, he says to shoot you down, regardless of how high he had personally lifted you before, directly knocking you back down to earth!

  So... what else is there for you to be angry about?

  It seems like all I can do is accept it!

  After a moment, Sun Ruo Xuan, who had a slightly better relationship with Wang Jing Xue, turned her head to look at her and whispered, "Why don't you just give Jian Shao a call, Xiao Xue?"

  Wang Jingxue was initially silent, after a while, she said coldly: "I don't know about you guys, anyway I'm too ashamed to make the call."

  Sun Ruoxuan felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

  However, at this time, thinking back, if Wang Jingxue hadn't stood up and helped them get Li Xian's song, letting Li Xian help them make an album, they wouldn't have had their later achievements. So, if the company was determined to kick Li Xian out, the one who would be hurt the most among the five of them would probably be Wang Jingxue. At this time, no matter whether it's true or not, everyone really didn't have a reason to blame her.

  At this moment, several people looked at each other and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Xie Bing, who had been sitting quietly in the corner. Others didn't know, but they did - among the five girls of Wu Su, apart from Wang Jingxue, it was probably Xie Bing and Li Qian's relationship that was relatively "abnormal". In fact, her relationship with Li Qian might be even closer than Wang Jingxue's. Although the two seemed to have had some conflicts early on. But at this special moment, if someone had to speak up, Xie Bing seemed more suitable than anyone else.

  However, Xie Bing still lowered her head, motionless, as if she didn't feel everyone's gaze at all.

  So Sun Ruoxuan and Sima Duoduo, Zhou Pingping, all had to withdraw their gaze.

  After a moment, Sun Ruoxuan suddenly let out a faint sigh.

  It was at this time that Sima Dudu suddenly spoke up and said with emotion: "Liao Liao is still good, not afraid of anything, can be tough, the company can't control it, say what to do, just do it!"

  Sun Ruoxuan and Zhou Pingping were taken aback at first, then revealed a thoughtful expression.

  At this time, Wu sister, who had been observing several girls on the side, immediately showed a look of astonishment.

  This is the end of the road... Are we going to disband?

  …………

  July 20th. Wednesday.

  China Radio's Golden Chart is released on time.

  Although the achievements of last week were already there, for "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" which is in its all-out effort period, everyone had sufficient mental preparation for its strong performance on the Golden Melody Chart. However, when the chart came out, it still shocked many people -

  First place, "Bitter Sweet Years", Liao Liao, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou".

  Second place, "Loess Plateau". Liu Liao, "The Sound of Waves Remains".

  Third place, "When Dreams Wake Up", Liao Liao, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou".

  Fourth place, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu", Liu Liao, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu".

  Fifth place, "Hand in Hand", Liu Liao, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou".

  Sixth place, "I'm Ugly But I'm Gentle", Liao Liao, "The Tides Remain".

  Seventh place, "What a Big Tree", Liao Liao, "The Sound of Waves Remains".

  Eighth place, "Du Kou", Liao Liao, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu".

  Ninth place, "Come Back", Liu Liao, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu".

  Tenth place, "Du Qian Shan", Hu Yang, "Du Qian Shan".

  As a result, "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" this album, dominated the top nine!

  This is a powerful posture of blood washing billboards!

  In the past, if a singer could get two songs from one album on the charts at the same time, people would think, wow, you're so amazing! And if they could get three or even four songs on the charts at the same time, the media would often say that someone was dominating the music charts!

  Until last year, with the release of Liao's same-name album, the Golden Melody Chart had its first appearance of five songs from the same artist and album simultaneously on the chart! Then, Wu Su's "Sisters Stand Up" album even achieved six songs simultaneously on the chart at one point!

  At that time, the media didn't even know whether to use the term "bloodbath" to describe it, because the so-called bloodbath seemed to have been used too much and was no longer sufficient to describe such an almost unimaginable situation.

  Now, Liao Liao has made a bold move by releasing nine songs that simultaneously topped the charts!

  Although it is not clear whether the song fans for "Afraid of Black Women" this type of light rock love songs, have felt no longer so fresh, or because other works in this album are really too surprising, in short, the result is that last week's debut ranked eighth "Afraid of Black Women", did not make it to the charts this week.

  And the album's title track "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou", which had been performing very strongly in the previous two weeks, also failed to hold onto its number one position and even dropped to fourth place.

  This, of course, explains why "Sorrow and Joy" and "Loess Plateau", "When Dreams Wake Up" these three works have a wider audience, and at the same time, the place that truly shocked the entire pop music scene is also here - "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" This song is strong enough, but unexpectedly, there are still works in this album that can suppress it, which clearly shows that the overall quality of this album has reached a height that can only be looked up to!

  In other words, even if the song "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" can't hold up sales, this album still has several strong works that can continue to boost sales for the entire album!

  In fact, this week, the two folk songs "What a Big Tree" and "Du Kou", as well as the rock song "Come Back", have also risen to the top of the charts after fermenting for the past two weeks.

  This is the truly terrifying part of this album "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou"!

  Shortly after the album went on sale, insiders and professionals in the industry have already praised it, saying that the quality of this album has reached a level where any song can be taken out as the main hit single of an album!

  And now, this week's Golden Melody Chart has undoubtedly proven this point!

  After a long time, on the same day that the Golden Melody Awards were announced, this week's Artist Weekly had a headline on its front page. There was one word that, after being carefully selected by editors, was finally brought up again.

  This issue of "Artist Weekly" headlines with a topic called - "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" blood washes the broadcast chart!

  …………

  Liao Liao and Huang Wenjuan took the elevator down to the underground parking garage. Before they had a chance to look around, a black Chang'an van in a nearby parking space opened its door, and a hand waved at them.

  Two people walked past, hadn't gotten on the bus yet, and first heard Qijie's voice on the phone.

  "......Uh-huh, okay, okay, Mr. Feng, don't worry, I'll definitely pass on your words to Li Qian personally......Uh-huh, of course, we all know that Xinda is one of the largest and most powerful companies in the industry......Uh-huh, okay, I also hope Li Qian can cooperate with Xinda, don't worry. I'll make sure to convey your sincerity to him word for word when I see him again. Thanks, thanks!......Uh-huh, that's good. You're busy, we'll catch up later. Okay, goodbye!"

  By the time she hung up the phone, Liao Liao and Huang Wenjuan had already gotten on the bus.

  She finally hung up the phone, closed the car door, and Liao Liao couldn't help but make a "tsk" sound twice, "Really busy!"

  Qijie puckered up her mouth, started the car and said: "Stop being so mysterious! Is your business done?"

  Liao Liao stretched in the car and nodded, "It's done. I told Old Chen to arrange some commercial performances for me in the second half of the year, with a maximum of 15 shows! Old Chen is so clever, he immediately understood what I meant! Well, that's it! Before leaving, help him earn a bit more, so he won't complain that I don't take on commercial performances!"

  Qī Jié nodded silently. Liao Liao was too busy exploring the car to speak, and didn't stop until they exited the underground garage. Only then did she say: "Hey, your boss is really stingy! I mean, I'm a top-tier celebrity, at least a B-list star, right? And this is the kind of car you guys provide? Not even real leather seats?"

  Qijie retorted while driving, "What's wrong with this car? It cost over 700,000! More expensive than the off-road vehicle our boss bought for himself! And can you please stop being arrogant? Our boss said it's a company car, not assigned to you personally!" As soon as they got on the highway, she asked, "I was specifically told to come pick you up. Where do I send you?"

  You'd think that after being squeezed by Qijie's words, not even a broken car could get mixed up with the exclusive one, but Liao Liao smiled and said: "Of course we're going to check out the work studio!"

  Qijie heard this and was stunned for a moment, unable to help but say: "I'm telling you, big sister, when you left it was like that, now it's still like that, what's there to see? Li Qian came over after the college entrance exam just to finalize the design plan with the designer. And even if the design is done well, it's useless, they want 3.6 million yuan, I'm exhausted and managed to get them down to 3.2 million, but Li Qian doesn't have any money in his account at all, so nothing has started yet..."

  Liao Liao thought for a moment and insisted: "Then I also want to go take a look, I'd love to!"

  Qijie reluctantly drove towards East Fourth Ring Road.

  After a moment, Liao Liao scanned the car again and felt that it was still a bit shabby. He turned to Huang Wenjuan and suddenly had an idea, "Hey, Juanzi, you're an assistant, right? How can an assistant not know how to drive? You should go find a driving school tomorrow and learn how to drive. Then we'll get our own car and won't have to sit in this broken-down car of theirs!"

  Huang Wenjuan looked at her and didn't dare to refute. She could only nod in agreement.

  But thinking back, wait a minute - what? We're going to buy a car? From now on, we won't have to call anyone to pick us up wherever we go? It seems pretty cool! Alright, let's learn how to drive!

  Changsheng Records' office is located in the southeastern part of Shuntian Prefecture's urban area, also on the Fourth Ring Road. Qi Jie drove onto the Fourth Ring Road and soon saw the building where Li Qian had bought an apartment from a distance.

  Pull the car into the underground garage, Qijie took the two people to take the elevator to the eighth floor, looking at the empty concrete floor, Liao Liao put his hands on his waist, with a happy and satisfied expression of patrolling his own kingdom.

  "From now on, this place will be Miss's harem!" she declared loudly.

  In the empty and spacious floor, echoes are ringing out.

  Qijie hugged her shoulders and pouted, while Huang Wenjuan's face was expressionless as she lowered her head.

  But soon, Liao Liao was dissatisfied again, turned his head and said to Qi Jie: "Your boss is too irresponsible! He just left this empty venue and went out to play, and didn't take me with him. This place has been empty for so long, it's not okay!"

  "After some thought, she said to Qijie: 'How about this? I'll lend your boss some money first, you pay the construction fee, and let the decoration team start working as soon as possible. That way, the studio can open earlier, okay?'"

  Qijie thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "No need. Our boss said that by the end of this month, Huage will definitely settle the second payment, which is worth 50-60 million, so it's no problem to pay for this!"

  Liao Liao thought for a moment, shaking his head in disbelief. "Do you think Huage's side will be that honest? I'll tell you, the payment deadline on the contract is the last day they'll pay, and it's not just the music industry, which line isn't like this now? When the money arrives, do people still pay? There are no more honest people like that! Moreover, don't forget, you're already at odds with them, what makes you think they'll give you the money readily? Besides, didn't you say that they would only give the second payment after the Recording Industry Association confirmed the five platinum records? Although that song "Sisters Stand Up" should have sold over 5 million copies long ago, it hasn't been confirmed as a five-platinum record yet! Your boss is thinking too beautifully!"

  As she said that, she leaned in and wrapped her arms around Qijie's slender waist, grinning mischievously: "Anyway, you're the big manager, right? He ran out to play and doesn't know, so just use my money first. When his money really arrives, you can return it to me then!"

  Qijie gave her a glance, sneered coldly, "Do you think I don't know what you're up to? Let me tell you, this matter, I really can't make the decision. If Li Qian gets unhappy later on, it's like you're smashing my rice bowl! If you really want to invest, wait till he comes back and go talk to him yourself, don't come at me!"

  Liao Liao couldn't help but glance at her and said, "No loyalty!"

  Then, with her hands on her hips, she looked around the empty floor again and sighed sorrowfully: "I don't know when the construction will start, how long will it take to move in?! Your boss is delaying my youth, I'll ask him for compensation later! Humph, stingy, not willing to let me invest, I'll make you regret it!"

  After venting her emotions, she turned around and glared at Qijie with a cold expression. "Hey, where did he go? Can I go after him?"

  Qī Jié shrugged her shoulders, "I really don't know!"

  Liao Liao asked again: "He really didn't even bring his little girlfriend?"

  Qijie shook her head, "Anyway, the car was bought with him together, after buying it and putting on the license plate, he drove out, before that, I didn't see Wang Jinglu, as for whether he would go back to Jinan Prefecture to pick someone up, how would I know?"

  Liao Liao heard this and pouted again, looking unhappy.

  "If Huage doesn't give in, even if the Recording Association confirms five platinum records, they'll still have to wait for him to be willing to give it to you. I'd like to see how he handles that! Hmph..."

  As soon as she finished speaking, Qijie's mobile phone suddenly rang with a ringing tone.

  Qijie subconsciously frowned, in the past two weeks, all sorts of calls from various places kept coming in, undoubtedly all looking for Li Qian, and without exception, all wanting to discuss cooperation. But Li Qian was not there, and she couldn't make decisions on her own, as a broker, she couldn't offend anyone, so she could only accompany each person and chat idly. To be honest, after answering so many calls, she was already fed up!

  But at this time, she could only take out her mobile phone from her bag.

  But then, when she saw the name on her phone screen clearly, her expression changed suddenly. Then, she quickly raised her hand and put her index finger to her lips, making a silencing gesture to Liao Liao and Huang Wenjuan, before answering the call.

  "Hello, I'm Qi Jie."

  On the other end of the phone was a very gentle man's voice, "Hello Miss Qi, I am Huang Dazhong from Huaguo Records."

  "Ah...!" she said, before hurriedly saying: "Oh dear, Director Huang! I'm Qi Jie, Li Qian's agent! Sorry about this, I didn't know it was your number!"

  Hearing this, Liao Liao stared with his eyes wide open for a moment, then curled up the corner of his mouth.

  He actually got it right again!

  His plan to rush back and take advantage of the loophole to buy shares after ending the promotion in advance... has been declared a failure!

  ***

  A 60,000-word long chapter!

  I originally wanted to continue writing, but my body really can't hold on! There's still one chapter left in the first volume, I can only leave it until tomorrow to write! (.)
