After Xi Huixin left, Tao Xiaoyu sat alone in the living room and thought for a long time, but he didn't think of a sure countermeasure.

For any business behavior that looks at profit, she understands that it is not enough to use talent as a bargaining chip, but must let the company's senior management realize that she can bring more returns than Cai Chengmin.

The next morning, Tao Xiaoyu received a call from the music director of the company after returning from a run, and he asked her to come to his office.

It came sooner than she thought.

Tao Xiaoyu hurriedly changed her clothes, then washed her face, quickly tore off the hair rope, combed her hair which was not too long, and then braided two small braids on the left side of her forehead and toward her ears, drawing She put on light makeup, put on small heart-shaped drop earrings, and rarely wore stiletto shoes, so that she looked very tall, her neck was slender and white, her whole person was smart and sweet, and she walked as lightly as a swallow .

Since her debut, Tao Xiaoyu has captured many fans on the Internet with her clear, pure voice and emotional singing, and her popularity has always been very high, but her image has always been a cartoon girl, so although she is a popular singer You can still dress up as you like and travel freely without the burden of idols.

When he arrived at the company, Tao Xiaoyu went to the office first and told Xi Huixin that she was coming to see the director.

Xi Huixin stood up with a worried expression on her face. She was only talkative and couldn't come up with an effective countermeasure, so she could only cheer up and say, "Xiaoyu, this time you must be firm and don't compromise easily!"

"Don't worry, I will." Although Tao Xiaoyu lacked confidence, his expression was very calm.

Seeing her back as she turned and left, Xi Huixin hesitated to speak.

While waiting for the elevator, someone suddenly poked Tao Xiaoyu's back. When she turned around, she saw that it was Cai Chengmin, who was very brightly dressed and looking, and was smiling wantonly.

Tao Xiaoyu glanced at her lightly, but didn't speak.

"Sorry." Cai Chengmin took a step forward and stood side by side with Tao Xiaoyu, "I really like that song, don't worry, I will sing it well."

"Intentionally insert a knife and fake apology, save yourself." Tao Xiaoyu didn't want to talk to her. "I don't doubt that you can sing well if you work hard, but that song is mine."

"I know the song is yours, but it's about to become—" Cai Chengmin raised his pointed chin and pointed at herself proudly, "Mine." Her smile instantly became more evil.

At this time, the elevator arrived, and when everyone inside came out, Tao Xiaoyu stepped into the elevator first, she turned around and stood still, Cai Chengmin turned sideways, and also stood still on her left side.

Tao Xiaoyu stretched out his right hand and pressed the 12th floor.

"Coincidentally, I'm also going to the 12th floor. Xiaoyu, you're going to see Director Chen, huh?"

Tao Xiaoyu ignored her, and the two parted ways outside the elevator on the 12th floor.

When she arrived at the door of Director Chen's office, she took a deep breath, tried to be as calm as possible, and then knocked on the door twice. Following the sound of Director Chen's invitation to come in, Tao Xiaoyu opened the black wooden door , went in.

The office is very spacious and bright. Tao Xiaoyu saw Director Chen in a suit and leather shoes with his head down, as if he was reading documents.

"Mr. Chen, hello." She walked to his desk with just the right volume.

"Xiaoyu is here." Director Chen raised his head. He looked over 40 years old, his hair was combed meticulously, and he wore a black earring in his left ear. "Do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

"I don't know," Tao Xiaoyu shook her head, her appearance looked pure and innocent, "Is there something wrong with what we discussed before?"

"There's nothing wrong with the content itself, but—" Director Chen looked at the chair beside him, "Sit down."

Tao Xiaoyu sat down quietly, waiting for him to continue talking.

Director Chen poked a few times on the table with a pen, stared at Tao Xiaoyu's clear and pure eyes, and then said, "Cai Chengmin, it's her, she wants to ask you for a song."

"Which one?" Actually, Tao Xiaoyu didn't want to give any one, but since she was here to negotiate, especially with her boss, she didn't want to put the two sides in a stalemate at the beginning, but left room for it.

"Your first title song."

"Oh, this one." Tao Xiaoyu showed a hard-to-let go expression, "No, I won't give it. Maybe you can think about other things."

Director Chen seemed to have expected such a result, "Xiaoyu, let me tell you bluntly, the company's primary consideration in making an album for everyone is to maximize profits. I know this song is tailor-made for you. There is no doubt that you can sing it into a classic, but the company is currently in the stage of adapting to the market. If Cai Chengmin is assigned to sing it, among other things, she will hold a round of concerts and perform a few variety shows. Let our company's annual performance improve a lot, do you know what I mean?"

"I understand," Tao Xiaoyu looked at him without giving in, "However, my route has always been different from Cai Chengmin's, which means that the song tailored for me is not suitable for her, she wants this The song is because—”

"Although your routes are different, you have to know," Director Chen raised his right hand in the air, "The so-called artist route is just a label and persona created by the company for the sake of development. Is there a clear line between a person and a person?"

"Mr. Chen, since you've said it so bluntly, then I'll also be more blunt about my position." Tao Xiaoyu knew the consequences of confronting the director, but this time her bottom line was touched, and she didn't care about it at all. Concession means, "If you insist on giving this song to Cai Chengmin, then there is no need to make a concept album this time, because without this song, this album will lose its soul."

"Xiaoyu, don't be emotional, okay?" Director Chen stood up and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water for Tao Xiaoyu, "Drink some water to calm down first, don't talk so full, you go back and think about it first, After thinking about it, tell me your final decision, you haven't had such a difficult time communicating before."

Tao Xiaoyu also stood up, but she didn't pick up the opened bottle of mineral water he handed to her, "The past was the past. Regarding this matter, what I said just now is my final decision."

After speaking, she left the office as if fleeing.

Tao Xiaoyu is not the type who is good at theories and disputes. She is full of emotions, and she blushed when she clearly said these words to Director Chen.

After going out of that door, she realized how her heart was beating so hard that she had to stop temporarily to catch her breath.

When she got to the elevator, she still felt scared. After leaving Director Chen's eyes, she finally calmed down. If they were ruthless, not being able to release a new album would be the least serious consequence. During the contract period, it is even worse to have no work and no income.

Alas, I should tell him that singing that song by myself can also improve the company's annual grade point!Be confident, maybe you can bluff him.In the elevator, Tao Xiaoyu was thinking blankly, but she also knew the truth. Compared with the outgoing and open-minded Cai Chengmin, she set too many limits for herself. She didn't want to expose herself to the outside world, and she didn't sing Yes, no commercials and variety shows...

Relying solely on album sales and fans' rewards is a world of difference compared to catering to the market.

She knew why the company indulged Cai Chengmin, but that didn't mean she was asked to be a dumb man who ate coptis, and let her decide.

However, is it really wise to bet on your own future?

Taking a step back may really open up the sky.

After a short shake in her heart, as the elevator door opened again, Tao Xiaoyu immediately woke up. The essence of her resistance was not simply because she wanted to give that song to Tang Manwen as a birthday present yesterday, but because , Cai Chengmin's behavior trampled on her dignity, the company's decision deprived her of her due rights, and arbitrarily took away the works that she had put a lot of effort into. This is the main reason why she argued with them.

When she stepped out of the elevator, although she wanted to understand the consequences of being stubborn, she did not intend to back down on this matter, but insisted on it to the end.
