As usual, Yang Jingxing arrived at the company ten minutes early. From the routine welcome at the front desk to the nodding greetings from his colleagues, no one asked any questions. Perhaps as far as Hongxing Company is concerned, the so-called song theft incident has no impact on the duration or impact of the incident.

It's not worth the fuss.

Pang Xi was the same, reporting on some trivial matters as usual, and Yang Jingxing also signed to confirm that Studio 402 had received the fax machine issued by the General Affairs Department.

When I went to see the boss at 9:30, Zhang Yanhao seemed relaxed and happy again: "Have you been hiding from the limelight these days?"

Yang Jingxing told the truth: "School has just started and homework is due at school."

Zhang Yanhao asked: "Do you still have summer vacation homework? Haha... Let's take the National Day holiday. How many days can we go out to play?"

Yang Jingxing sighed: "There's something going on at school, so I can't leave. Are you going to go out to play, boss?"

Zhang Yanhao said: "The company has not held any activities this year. You, the leader of 402, have to participate."

Yang Jingxing chuckled: "It's the same as letting Deputy Manager Pang go."

Zhang Yanhao hahaha: "Try the tea, it's very good..." While sipping the tea, Zhang Yanhao said: "Anyway, you did suffer a bit from this incident."

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "Boss, don't feel like you're at a disadvantage if you help me like this."

Zhang Yanhao chuckled and nodded: "Tang Xiaoxiao is not an unreasonable person. Although things are relatively passive for him, Jin Wen also relied on him to take some measures to make it so smooth."

Yang Jingxing said: "You are his future boss, I understand this too."

Zhang Yanhao smiled and shook his head: "It's not that he has nowhere to go. He is also a victim. If it weren't for this relationship, this matter would not be so simple."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I know, although it's just for your sake, I want to thank him when I get the chance, regardless of whether he looks down on me or not."

Zhang Yanhao chuckled: "The current situation is quite embarrassing. A big tree attracts wind. Someone will definitely seize on this matter and will have to deal with it next."

Yang Jingxing asked: "What can I do?"

Zhang Yanhao looked at the employee and said: "If you give me face, I will naturally give you one..."

Yang Jingxing regretted: "I wish I had some face."

Zhang Yanhao laughed: "That's right. Tang Xiaoxiao will make a statement and he will definitely communicate with me on the specific details. However, it is not convenient to clarify this matter, so you may need your cooperation."

Yang Jingxing imagined it for a moment and said, "He has his say, but no one listens to me, so I'll just acquiesce. Do you think that's okay?"

Zhang Yanhao looked pleased and patted Yang Jingxing on the shoulder: "We're on the road."

Yang Jingxing said: "Maybe he will give you another face and sing a song I wrote..."

Zhang Yanhao laughed and looked at Yang Jingxing with a deliberately surprised expression: "Don't be so awesome..." He suddenly stopped laughing: "What do you mean?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Build a harmonious relationship among pop groups."

Zhang Yanhao was more serious: "It is a guiding direction, and it will be handled in a positive way."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "That's what I said, I will do whatever you decide."

Zhang Yanhao said: "This matter can be discussed, and it will be beneficial in the long run. It can also avoid embarrassment between you... I just say that 402 is a smart person."

Yang Jingxing was embarrassed: "You praised me, boss. I will work hard."

Zhang Yanhao smiled: "Drink tea..."

Yang Jingxing stayed in the boss's office for longer and longer, so that when Ling Wei left, Yang Jingxing would walk away slowly.

Back in the office, Yang Jingxing personally contacted a songwriter who submitted his manuscript in handwritten notation: "Hello, is this Mr. Lu Shengjie?"

"Wait a minute..." There was a bit of noise there, like a construction site, "Who are you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Hello, I am from the editorial department of Hongxing Records..."

"...Hello, hello, hello!" The other party was obviously excited suddenly.

Yang Jingxing said: "That's right, you submitted two songs to our company..."

"Yes, yes, yes..." This Lu Shengjie seemed to be still breathing.

Yang Jingxing continued: "I would like to ask, have you submitted these two songs to other companies? Have you signed a contract?"

"No...no!" The other party was sure, but worried: "What's wrong?"

Yang Jingxing used routine language: "That's it. After studying your work, we feel that it has certain production potential. If you are still interested, our company hopes to buy the copyright of these two songs..."

The other end of the phone suddenly asked: "Do you want to pay first?" He seemed to be suddenly unhappy again.

Yang Jingxing said: "No, you just need to pay taxes."

The other party understood: "I know, I know, I'll give your mother a big head!"

Yang Jingxing laughed: "Mr. Lu, you are really alert, but I am not a liar. In this way, you will definitely know the address of our company. If you are interested and have time, come and see me. I can wait for you until eleven o'clock.

Your address is Minhang District.”

The other party was silent.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you listening?"

"Yes, yes..." The other party was more gentle: "Then tell me, where is the address of Hongxing Company?"

Yang Jingxing said: "If I were really a liar, I would definitely know it. The back of the score of your "Pearl of the Orient to the Roof of the World" says it is dedicated to the lost youth, right?"

The other party was surprised again: "Yes, yes..."

Yang Jingxing said: "It must have been submitted for at least two years. I dug it out from the bottom of the box, otherwise it would have been destroyed."

The other party was still unsure: "Then I'll go there...at eleven o'clock, right?"

Yang Jingxing said: "As soon as possible, tell me to find Studio 402 when you arrive."

The other party said: "That's okay."

Seeing that it was already eleven o'clock, Pang Xi finally came to inform Yang Jingxing to pick up people at the front desk, and felt that it was unreasonable that the company stipulated that Yang Jingxing and Gan Kaicheng could only take people upstairs.

A man in his early thirties, wearing a new shirt with obvious creases, was sitting in the front desk seating area, looking at a glass of water in front of him.

Xu Lanxin reminded: "Sir...Sir! Manager Yang is here."

The sitting man stood up and looked at Yang Jingxing, who was walking over.

Yang Jingxing reached out to the man from a distance: "Hello, are you Mr. Lu?"

The other party waited on the spot, shook hands and nodded: "I am Lu Shengjie." He was a very ordinary-looking man, with slightly dark skin and not much hair.

"Please wait a moment." Yang Jingxing went to sign the visitor record, exchanged courtesy with Xu Lanxin, and then invited Lu Shengjie: "This way, please."

Lu Shengjie picked up the white-collar single-room leather bag on the sofa and followed Yang Jingxing through the long aisle, without having time to look closely at the various photos and honors of the artists on both sides.

Yang Jingxing said, "Please make a trip."

Lu Shengjie shook his head: "It's okay."

Starting to go upstairs, the decoration atmosphere seems to be very different from that downstairs, a bit solemn and heavy.

Lu Shengjie, who was two steps behind, caught up and said anxiously: "Manager Yang, I'm sorry, I apologize to you."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "It doesn't matter, I didn't make it clear. There's no harm in being more vigilant."

Lu Shengjie sighed: "I'm really sorry..."

Yang Jingxing got down to business: "Do you have any research on Western folk songs?"

Lu Shengjie nodded: "One thing, I worked in Tibet for two years."

Yang Jingxing said: "I think your fusion method is more interesting, with intersecting rhythms and a bit of Xinjiang style, which has a unique flavor."

Lu Shengjie nodded seriously: "Yes."

Invited by Yang Jingxing to sit together in front of the workbench, Lu Shengjie took the water glass from Pang Xi and looked at his manuscript on the workbench. Lu Shengjie apologized again: "I'm really sorry..."

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "I'm younger than you, so don't be polite. Let's keep the story short. I think the situation of these two songs is relatively new, but if they are to be produced, they will definitely need to be changed, especially the lyrics. Can you accept it?"

Lu Shengjie nodded: "Is that still my name?"

Yang Jingxing said: "We don't buy the authorship rights, but the author of the lyrics will be changed, or you can re-write the lyrics."

Lu Shengjie put his bag on his knee with one hand and the water glass on the other knee with the other hand, and asked: "Am I the composer?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "That's right. The copyright buyout is permanent and is settled in one go. You can't take back the copyright and usage rights in the future, and you won't get any legal commissions. Another thing is, if the author of this song is not you,

If any problems arise, all responsibilities and losses will be borne by you.”

Lu Shengjie seemed to have never been exposed to this industry, so he was a little confused after hearing this.

Yang Jingxing added: "These are the main points. This is a sample contract. You can take a look here and think about it again."

Lu Shengjie didn’t understand it at all, so he asked: “Is there a high chance of it being released?”

Yang Jing has difficulty in acting: "I can't say...I personally think it's more promising."

Lu Shengjie asked again: "Do you know Gan Kaicheng?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I know you, my immediate boss."

Lu Shengjie started thinking again.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Do you have many works? There should be more than these two."

Lu Shengjie was about to open the bag: "Yes, there are some more..."
