Ordinary Road 2010

Ms. Gu Changge did not engage in unnecessary verbal disputes with her. Judging from the relationship between the two of them, she might actually do such a thing.

Before coming today, Gu Changge guessed that Peng Yuchen might object to this arrangement, but he didn't expect the reaction to be so intense.

"Mr. Peng, anyway, Xiaowei is now an artist under your banner. If she can gain popularity, it will be good for you, a girl group that hasn't debuted yet, right?"

In fact, she has already backed down and did not mention the breach of contract, but Peng Yuchen still shook his head: "Ms. Gu, you still haven't understood what I mean."

"Now that Gu Caiwei is participating in this show, if she doesn't transfer the artist contract to the other party, at most she will pass the primary election, and then she will be eliminated early in the top 32 or top [-]."

"You may think that even if she made her appearance on the show, she would be seen by many people. After all, there were low-ranked but very popular contestants in the first round, right?"

"wrong!"

"For me, this is unacceptable. I have worked so hard to select the C position for the first girl group. I have cultivated it for so long. How can the member with the most high hopes become a stepping stone for others before debuting?" , to be someone else's foil!"

"If the public is left with the impression that he is just a player in the first round or two rounds of "The Voice", how far can he go in the future?"

"Ms. Gu, I told you a long time ago that my goal has always been to be the number one girl group in China. If you thought I was just talking nonsense before, please remember it firmly from now on!"

Gu Changge didn't care about her verbal offense, but just confirmed with a frown: "So Mr. Peng means that the matter of Xiaowei's appearance on the show cannot be discussed?"

Peng Yuchen replied firmly: "Either you take her back to wait for the court summons, or you stay here and listen to me!"

……

The private cabin was not far from Peng Yuchen's company, so Ms. Gu Changge appeared there not long after.

She didn't show any surprises when she saw Lin Yi. Sooner or later, they would use this place for a private meeting, but she didn't expect that Lin Yi happened to be in Shencheng at this time.

Gu Changge specially installed anti-theft monitoring at the door, I believe Lin Yi should understand what it means.

"mom!"

Gu Caiwei ran over to greet her bouncingly. Today, she met the two most important people to her, so she was very happy.

Ms. Gu Changge did not know where to buy a lot of ingredients, and used the kitchen here to cook a sumptuous dinner. The three of them sat together, similar to when they were in Rongcheng.

After tidying up, she didn't shy away from Lin Yiyi and said directly: "Xiaowei, do you still remember the Director Xia of Zhijiang Satellite TV that I brought you to meet during the Chinese New Year?"

"Remember."

Gu Caiwei blinked suspiciously. After that meeting, there was no further news. Although her mother briefly mentioned several times that she still had contact with Director Xia, she thought she had given up on that show.

Now suddenly asked, is there any change?

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. He thought about when Ms. Gu Changge would tell Gu Caiwei about this, but now it seemed that he and Peng Yuchen hadn't reached an agreement.

Ms. Gu Changge told her daughter: "During this time, Director Xia and I have been discussing your appearance on "The Voice", and even invited your father to come forward, and finally he agreed to let you appear on the show without changing the contract. .”

"But I went to see Peng Yuchen just now, and she strongly opposed this arrangement and very firmly refused to let you on this show."

"I wanted to tell you about this matter after the arrangements were made, but now there is such an accident, I want to hear what you think?"

Gu Caiwei was a little caught off guard, the news was too sudden for her.

"If I don't get on the show, will there be any consequences?"

Gu Changge explained to her: "You know this is the hottest talent show at the moment. Although there is no guarantee that it will make you famous overnight, at least it can also increase your popularity. It is a very precious opportunity."

If it's just like this, it won't be a choice at all, Gu Caiwei tilted her head and looked at her mother: "Then what if I do it?"

Gu Changge explained calmly: "Because your contract is in the hands of Peng Yuchen, participating in performing arts activities requires her consent. Now she is clearly threatening that if you appear on the show without authorization, she will sue you for breach of contract."

"Well……"

Gu Caiwei didn't expect that one day she would be involved in a lawsuit. She wasn't frightened, but a little surprised. She didn't know why her mother and Mr. Peng talked about it.

In fact, what Ms. Gu Changge said is not important, and Peng Yuchen's handling of this matter is not because of her attitude, what is important is the interests involved.

Gu Caiwei noticed that her mother was looking at her calmly, and subconsciously turned her head to look for Lin Yi beside her, and found the same signal in his eyes.

Oh, they all want me to make the decision.

Chapter 335 The Tenderness of This World

Under the gazes of Lin Yi and Ms. Gu Changge, Gu Caiwei pondered for a long time and finally raised her head, and then said the answer to the two closest people:

"I thought, I'm not going to be on that show."

Ms. Gu Changge did not express any objection, but said: "If you are worried about liquidated damages, that is not a problem. I have already consulted Lawyer Xiao, and it is unlikely that Peng Yuchen will get more even if he goes to court."

Gu Caiwei shook her head lightly: "It's not this."

"I thought a lot just now. The first thing I thought of was if I leave now, what will happen to the remaining four girls in another house not far away?"

"Although it seems that I haven't been with them for a long time, one of them has a complicated relationship with me. Strictly speaking, there was a festival before."

"But we were picked together to debut as a group, and we've been preparing for it for a while now, we live together, we practice together, we record videos together, and if I leave now without saying goodbye, we did it together before. Isn't it meaningless?"

"And Mr. Peng, in fact, I have always been very grateful to meet her on the street in Lin'an, and then she gave me a chance to embark on this path."

"Of course I know that she has her own purpose, but she gave me a life choice that I never imagined. Without her, I might just continue to study in a daze, and she has been on this road for more than a year. It helped me a lot.”

"There is also Teacher An. Although she is very fierce and always scolds people at every turn, the guidance she gave me has benefited me a lot. I can clearly feel how different I am from before I came here."

"For these things, I think even if I have nothing to do with this company, it's not something I can just let go of with a clear conscience."

"I know what it's like to be betrayed, but I don't want to impose that feeling on other people."

"Actually, it doesn't mean that my relationship with them is so deep that I will never leave them."

"I understand how rare a good opportunity is. I still remember how much you objected to my mother when I wanted to choose this path. You said that once you succeed, you will die. You just didn't have such an opportunity back then."

"But I think, a person should have basic faith."

"Although you can afford it, mom, and you are willing to help me pay the liquidated damages, it doesn't mean we can just talk and leave."

"If you can disobey any agreement as long as you can afford the liquidated damages, then the world should be in chaos long ago, right?"

"I was thinking just now, if I was really lucky enough to win the love of many people on the program "The Voice", but they soon found out that I was a person who would do anything to become popular, how disappointed they would be ?”

"At the beginning, under the witness of the two of you, I chose such a path, and I already planned in my heart that I might fail."

"Of course I also desire to be successful and to become a big star that attracts everyone's attention, but it doesn't mean that I can do anything to realize that dream."

"I don't want to come to the highest point of that mountain one day, and then when I look back, I find that I have changed beyond recognition, and I can't find the self I was looking forward to when I just set off."

Gu Caiwei smiled embarrassedly: "You must be laughing at my childishness, but I really think so."

"And the most important thing is that no one can guarantee that I will be a big hit when I appear on the show "The Voice". It is an unpredictable attempt just like my girl group debut two months later."

"In that case, why not continue down the road I've been preparing for so long, and suddenly jump into a new ship?"

Gu Caiwei finally said all the words she thought of, and looked anxiously at her mother and Lin Yi who was beside her.

Lin Yi and Ms. Gu Changge looked at each other, they saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, and the latter said:

"Xiaowei, you have already thought of the situation, reason, and law. If this is the case, of course we will respect your decision."

Although Lin Yi didn't speak, he still smiled gratifiedly, because he suddenly remembered someone's evaluation of this girl:

"Why does Vivienne receive thousands of favors?"

"Her beauty, her singing voice, are of course precious gifts. But the most irreplaceable thing about her is the kind of pure beauty that will always treat the world with tenderness. I have never seen it in another person. Pass."

This beauty, I will take good care of it.

……

Ms. Gu Changge is very straightforward. Now that she has made a decision, she plans to take her daughter to explain it to Peng Yuchen immediately.

As for Lin Yi, of course they left them here. Although Peng Yuchen has always known of his existence, he definitely doesn't want to see him and Gu Caiwei appear in the company openly.

When Ms. Gu Changge saw Peng Yuchen again, she was still in her office. She had completely lost the tension she had when they broke up, and she just asked calmly:

"Excuse me, is Ms. Gu taking her daughter to tell me your decision?"

"It's not my decision, it's hers."

Peng Yuchen was surprised to see that Ms. Gu Changge actually handed over the right to talk to her daughter for the first time. In his impression, she was always a careful and strong mother.

"Mr. Peng, I have already thought about it. I will not participate in the recording of "The Voice", but will stay and prepare for the debut with other people."

At this time, Ms. Gu Changge came out and added: "This matter has nothing to do with Xiaowei. She didn't know about it when I contacted the TV station."

"I see."

Peng Yuchen's current expression is full of complacency. If Gu Caiwei really leaves, she will definitely fight the lawsuit to the end, but in that case, no one can please anyone.

Right now, this is obviously the best ending for everyone to be happy.

And it seems that Gu Changge is respecting his daughter's opinion more and more, and I'm afraid he can no longer treat her as a little girl who can be fooled at will when dealing with her in the future.

"I'm very happy that Xiao Gu made this wise choice. I said before that the two of us will create a new era of domestic women's teams together. Now this promise is still valid."

"Today you missed the opportunity of "The Voice", and I also feel that it is a pity. But I promise you, sooner or later, I will give you a better opportunity!"

Peng Yuchen is very considerate in dealing with people, and once the conflict was resolved, she apologized to Gu Changge: "Ms. Gu, my attitude was a little blunt before, please forgive me for being impolite."

Ms. Gu Changge won't bother with her.

"Mr. Peng, I was the one who was rude this time. I will never ignore Xiaowei's career, but I will discuss it with you in advance next time."

Peng Yuchen is very satisfied with her statement, which means that two months before his debut, he finally got the real right to make decisions about Gu Caiwei's acting career.

Ok……

It seems that there is only one last unstable factor left.

Chapter 336 No Good News Today

"Peng Yuchen wants to see me?"

Lin Yi heard the news from Gu Caiwei on the phone, because after their mother and daughter went to find Peng Yuchen, he left the house.

He thought back to the woman who only met once. Since then, the two of them have never seen each other again. I don't know why she suddenly came to him?

It doesn't always feel good.

However, no matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, Lin Yi is temporarily unable to attend the appointment. He apologized to Gu Caiwei and said: "I'm sorry Xiaowei, please tell Peng Yuchen that I have left Shanghai for something urgent. If I am not in a hurry, I will come next time I will visit her."

Yes, when they made this call, Lin Yi was already on his way to the airport, because an important news just came from the capital.

And it's not good news.

Gu Caiwei immediately expressed her understanding, because Peng Yuchen did not ask to meet immediately.

It was already late at night when Lin Yi landed in the capital, but he immediately went to find Liu Jianni, and when he arrived there, the senior sister who stayed behind had already been waiting there.

He didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, so he asked directly when he entered the door: "How is the situation?"

Liu Jianni shared what she found out again: "Are you hungry? The C round of financing has been negotiated, 1500 million US dollars, and it will be announced tomorrow, and the money will also go to their account at the same time."

"Who voted?"

"Red Mountain Capital."

Lin Yi recalled the scene of encountering Zhang Xuhao head-on in the corridor that day, and it seemed that the gentle and kind Juge Shen finally chose the student from Jiaotong University instead of himself, a compulsively close fellow.

There was still a trace of luck in his heart: "Are you sure?"

Then she was immediately crushed by Liu Jianni: "The investors are all veterans, and they are very careful when discussing projects, and Hongshan is even more experienced."

"What's more, we are competitors in the first place, and they are deliberately guarding against us, so I didn't find out about this news until today."

She raised her hand and looked at her watch: "This time I got it from a friend in the media. You can see the news announcements issued by both parties tomorrow morning."

Well, Lin Yi immediately accepted this reality.

"How's the progress on our side?"

Liu Jianni shook her head: "Same as before."

The senior sister interrupted and asked: "We have already started preparations before Lin Yi and Jianguo went south to Shencheng, why is the progress faster?"

Liu Jianni explained: "They negotiated more smoothly with investors, and according to the information I received, they and Hongshan still have differences in valuation, but Zhang Xuhao chose to give up a little in order to get the money as soon as possible. Shares compromised on valuation.”

Zhang Xuhao is really decisive.

Lin Yi knew that the main reason for the lag here was that the valuation was not agreed, and he always wanted to get more financing.

100 million to 300 million, and 500 million to 1500 million, the ratio seems to be 1:3, but the account cannot be calculated like this.The former is 200 million less, and the latter is 1000 million less, US dollars!

Random’s financing progress was already a whole round later than Are You Hungry? It cannot be said that being preempted this time was entirely the responsibility of Random, but it was indeed the most successful one in which Zhang Xuhao followed and competed.
