Chapter 373 Pregnancy Doubts
A huge record company would not cause any commotion because of the sudden addition of a front desk receptionist. Hu Min's arrival did not even cause waves for Minghu Culture.
But on Monday morning, the atmosphere of the entire Minghu culture was more or less tense.
Although Hu Min only went to work the next day, she quickly noticed this, and she cautiously asked Qian Xiaoxiao for advice while no one was paying attention, and the response she got was: "The sales ranking of Dongguan Bookstore is about to come out! "
Yes, Hu Min has just joined the company. Of course, he doesn't know the weight of the sales rankings released by Dongguan Bookstore every Monday, but anyone who has been in the industry for a while understands its importance. Therefore, even if the singers under Minghu Culture are all big names, even if the new album of the queen He Runqing was released last week, when it comes to Monday, when it is time to witness the results, the company will still be unable to bear it. There are some people who are nervous.
Minghu Culture will release at least two newcomer albums in the second half of the year. In the first half of the year, "Fake Monk" by the Four Beauties and "Women's Flower" by Liao Liao will be released. They have successfully dominated the entire record market, but In order for the company's annual record release plan to be implemented smoothly, He Runqing, who is in charge of carrying the flag during the golden period of summer vacation, and the significance of her "The Price of Love" cannot be overemphasized——
"The Price of Love" succeeds, and Minghu Culture is invincible. Even if it successfully paves the way for the new album of Rose Power to be released in September, at least it will make major record companies and singers agree with Minghu Culture. For that album, with more fear and avoidance, less impact and collision from peers, of course it will be easier to sell sales-don't talk about whether it is strong or not, no matter how strong it is, I don't want extra compete!
And if "The Price of Love" fails, or fails to reflect He Runqing's queen-level suppression ability, then obviously, not only for herself, it will represent the road and future after transformation, and will cast a heavy shadow again For Minghu Culture, once the outside world loses the awe of the signboard "produced by Li Qian", it is hard to say whether they will concentrate on the first piece of the Rose Power combination. The album gives sniping.
——Minghu Culture, and "Produced by Li Qian", in the domestic record market in the past few years, are simply too popular, so popular that it is against common sense, so popular that almost all colleagues in the entire record market will feel jealous!
Colleagues are enemies, this is not a joke.
Although the record market is expanding and prospering year by year, the total market is limited after all. If you sell 10 more copies, our company’s sales this year may be one or two less. What about selling 10,000 copies?
To put it bluntly, the record market is not only an art market, which cannot function without art, but at the same time, it is also a shopping mall and a battlefield, which cannot function without commercial operations.
Even to some extent, commercial performance determines the status of art.
At 8:25 in the morning, Hu Min and Qian Xiaoxiao had already arrived at their posts. In the next five minutes, the company's staff rushed to the company. Some cafes engaged in professional work such as the company's brokerage department and production department began to come to the company one after another, even if they were a little bit bigger, Qian Xiaoxiao took Hu Min to say hello to them.
Li Jinlong and He Wei from the production department, Sun Meimei and Zou Wenhuai from the management department, and the company's singers, Zhuang Meiyue, Ge Rilen, Zhao Yuan, Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, Sun Ruoxuan, and of course, Liao Liao, Qi Jie and Li Qian.
Li Qian came relatively early, seeing him getting off the elevator, Qian Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Hu Min to stand up, waited for Li Qian to come over, bowed slightly, and said: "Morning Li."
Li Qian responded with a smile, "Morning." Then he took a special look at Hu Min, Qian Xiaoxiao saw it, and quickly explained, "This is Hu Min, who just came to report for work yesterday, and was recruited by President Qi. "
Li Qian turned to look at her, nodded, and went in.
Hu Min asked: "Does our BOSS usually smile like this in the company?"
Qian Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Yes!" Then she explained to her, "Mr. Li has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, only in charge of music, and other things, such as personnel, management, distribution, etc. President Qi has the final say on everything. Therefore, President Qi is very dignified, but President Li is very kind. Of course, it is said that President Qi also listens to President Li very much."
Hu Min nodded.
Then, Liao Liao and Qi Jie got out of the elevator side by side.
The two hurriedly greeted each other: "Hi, President Qi, and Sister Liao."
Most of the two elder sisters turned their heads and agreed, and Qi Jie also pretended to order: "Xiaoxiao, Hu Min just came, you take her with you." Of course Qian Xiaoxiao quickly agreed.
But when she turned her head, she found that Wei Lan, Liao Liao's assistant, seemed to blink at her. She didn't understand what it meant, and thought it was a routine communication from the other party, so she smiled at her.
…………
As soon as Wang Jingxue arrived at the company, she went directly to the newly opened exercise room recently opened by the company.
People in the world have always said that singing and dancing are often inseparable from dancing, and dancing is inseparable from singing, but in fact, since the domestic record market was initially liberalized for about 30 years, many singers are not very good at dancing. Taking Minghu Culture as an example, the two queens, Liao Liao and He Runqing, didn't dance very much, so there was no dance configuration in the company at first.
But Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan originally started their careers with singing and dancing during the Wuxingwusu period, and Li Qian knew very well that although dancing is not absolutely necessary for a singer, if there is, it is definitely a plus. Therefore, the newly formed Rose Power Group, of course he will not let the three of them lose an advantage just like that, so the company took out an empty practice room, slightly modified it, and arranged it It became a practice room, exclusively for the use of Rose Power.
After nearly 40 days of intensive recording, until now, although there are still two songs that have been recorded several times and Li Qian is not satisfied, thinking that there are still "glitch", but in fact, the recording of Rose Power's new album is almost complete up. From the beginning of the recording, the company has hired relevant dance experts to arrange dances for them according to the melody of this album, and they also began to practice dancing while recording shortly thereafter.
Their skills are pretty good, plus they are very diligent. By now, the recording of the album is almost finished, and the dance has already been practiced to a certain extent. At least it's worth seeing.
But Wang Jingxue felt that she was still a little bit worse - when she was in the Wuxingwusu group of Huage Records, her dance homework was always relatively poor. After coming here, because she always The one who worked the hardest, so gradually, she was able to compete with Xie Bing, and the worst one became Sun Ruoxuan, but even so, she was still not satisfied, and still took a lot of rest time every day. Practice hard.
When she was doing preparatory activities, Zhuang Meiyue opened the door and came in to say hello. Knowing that Wang Jingxue was cold-tempered, Zhuang Meiyue's relationship with her was not much better. It was purely a newcomer's mentality to come and say hello. After she left, Wang Jingxue turned on the audio equipment after finishing the preparatory activities, and began to practice dancing. As a result, she didn't finish practicing a song, so Xie Bing and Sun Ruoxuan pushed the door in together.
After simply saying hello to Wang Jingxue, Sun Ruoxuan pulled Xie Bing there and muttered, with a smirk and gossip - if they were in normal times, when they saw Wang Jingxue practicing dancing again when they entered the door, they must be making jokes Just joking around, the sudden anomaly today already made Wang Jingxue feel something was wrong.
Especially when she turned her head and looked over between movements, she found that Sun Ruoxuan didn't know what to ask, Xie Bing's face was flushed, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and her originally proficient and smooth dance movements slowed down unconsciously. It came down, and after finally waiting for the song to end, she grabbed a towel and wiped off the barely sweating sweat and walked over.
When Sun Ruoxuan saw her coming, she grinned ghostly and waved at her. When Wang Jingxue came close, she ignored Xie Bing's shy face and whispered, "Xiaobing said she might be pregnant." .”
"Ah?" Wang Jingxue was startled when she heard that.
Generally speaking, as sisters in the same group, the first reaction should of course be to be happy for her, or even surprised. Of course, from the perspective of the group, when the new album is about to be released, if one of them If someone is pregnant, it will definitely disrupt the next listing and publicity arrangements, and may even affect the next sales. This may not be a good thing, but it happens that I suddenly heard the word "pregnancy" However, Wang Jingxue's first reaction was to be dazed.
At that moment, her whole body suddenly had a feeling that her soul was out of her body. When she realized it, she felt sore and painful in her heart. Hatred - this made her feel extremely ashamed when she came back to her senses later.
Xie Bing is her good sister and a partner in the group. Whether she is happy for her or worried about the future of the group, there is nothing wrong with it, but she should not have hatred—especially for Xie Bing, she is such a kind and good sister, she is so kind to herself and everyone!
"Really?" After regaining her senses, she looked at Xie Bing in horror and couldn't help asking.
Xie Bing shook his head, his face was flushed red - she was originally the one with the most beautiful face in Wuxingwusu, and she could even be said to be the one with the most beautiful face among all the female singers in the entire domestic music scene. Bing Tian is delicate and beautiful, as beautiful as Wang Jingxue, and she has to admit that she is even more beautiful than herself—she whispered: "I don't know yet, don't listen to Xiaoxuan's nonsense, I am... just a week late, originally It was supposed to come last Tuesday, my period is always very accurate, but it still hasn't come, and as soon as I said it, Xiaoxuan insisted that I might be pregnant."
"Huh..." Wang Jingxue subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. She didn't know if it was for Xie Bing, for their combination, or for some other reason. In short, she seemed to feel a lot more relieved suddenly.
Li Qian has lived in Xie Bing's house for many times and for many days - it is impossible for outsiders to know this news, even the best gossip reporters will not find out, but Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan certainly know it.
If Xie Bing is pregnant, needless to say, it is very likely that it will be Li Qian's first child. Between them and Li Qian, in addition to the friendship between teachers and students, the relationship between the boss and the employees, there is another layer of closer relationship.
But unfortunately, Wang Jingxue didn't feel the slightest sense of happiness in her heart, especially, this feeling of unhappiness had nothing to do with wanting to protect her sister's status—as long as she thought about it like this, she couldn't help but despise her in her heart. My despicability, despise the darkness and shamelessness of my heart!
Yes, when she learned that Xie Bing might be pregnant, all the subconscious reactions in her heart really made her feel contemptuous and ashamed.
Because the heart is full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
At this time, Sun Ruoxuan couldn't help asking gossip again: "Don't you usually wear condoms?"
Even when discussing this kind of issue with her best friend for several years, Xie Bing was still extremely shy, but after thinking about it, she still replied: "Most of the time, but sometimes..." After a pause, she Seeing Sun Ruoxuan's puzzled face, knowing that she is a guy without a boyfriend, and I'm afraid she hasn't experienced this kind of experience, she couldn't help but feel more ashamed and lower her voice, but she still patiently explained: "Sometimes it just happens to run out. Then... don't take it."
Sun Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "Okay, he is quite powerful!"
After a pause, she was still surprised, as if she had discovered something extraordinary, she showed four fingers to Wang Jingxue, and said, "Xiaobing is not the only one, she has four mouths to feed! Can it be so fierce?"
Xie Bing hit her in shame, "You are the one who wants to feed!"
Sun Ruoxuan laughed without hesitation.
Wang Jingxue forced a smile - Sun Ruoxuan was laughing, Xie Bing was beating her shyly, neither of them noticed anything unusual in Wang Jingxue's expression.
The two of them quarreled for a while, before Sun Ruoxuan realized it, and immediately came to her senses—Wang Jingxue is Wang Jinglu's biological sister! And as everyone knows, Wang Jinglu is Li Qian's absolute number one girlfriend.
If Xie Bing was the first to get pregnant, thinking about it, even if Wang Jingxue wasn't unhappy, she wouldn't be so happy—Xie Bing is a good sister, but Wang Jinglu is her own sister!
But Sun Ruoxuan is smart enough, she knew that at this time, it would be too revealing to go back and make up, so she said at the time: "It's all over now, it is said that Zhou Mo is preparing to conceive, and reporters have already photographed her several times I went to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, but there was no movement from her, so Xiaobing was rushed to the front!"
Xie Bing emphasized again, "It's not certain, besides, I don't have any reaction!"
Wang Jingxue couldn't help but ask, "Have you been to the hospital?"
Sun Ruoxuan also quickly turned to look at Xie Bing when she heard the words.
Xie Bing shook his head, "Recently, Zhou Mo's going to the hospital has caused a lot of trouble. It is said that many nurses in the hospital have been paid by reporters to keep an eye on them. How dare I go to the hospital casually!"
Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan nodded in unison, and then Sun Ruoxuan asked again: "Then did you tell him?"
Xie Bing shook his head again, with a mix of shame and joy on his face, "Not yet, I think it's still... Or wait until I'm really pregnant?"
After finishing speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Wang Jingxue timidly.
With just this one glance, Wang Jingxue couldn't help but feel sore in his heart.
The sadness this time was not for himself, but for Xie Bing.
They have known each other for so many years, at least 300 days in a year are spent together all day, of course they are already familiar enough to understand each other's meaning with just one look - Wang Jinglu is the wife of the Li family! Now there is no movement from Wang Jinglu, even Li Qian hasn't married anyone, and hasn't accepted anyone into the house, Xie Bing is pregnant suddenly, it is conceivable that this is not a trivial matter.
If it was someone else, maybe the first thought would be to finally hug Li Qian, not to mention that he only has a girlfriend and is not married, even if he is married, as long as the main wife has nothing to do, then he must find a way to squeeze him out But Xie Bing was obviously not that kind of person. Apart from the joy and panic that would inevitably come after pregnancy, her first thought was that she was afraid that Wang Jinglu would get angry and jealous, and that she would make trouble for herself.
At this time, Wang Jingxue took a deep breath and said suddenly, "Don't worry, Xiaolu is not that kind of person."
Xie Bing suddenly laughed when he heard the words, his smile was so beautiful, it was really like a flower blooming suddenly. Then, she nodded and whispered, "I know."
But immediately, she said again: "However, really, don't be like this, you still don't know what's going on! I think the possibility of pregnancy is not very high."
At this time, Wang Jingxue had gradually calmed down, and she heard the words: "No matter how big or small the possibility is, I think you should tell him as soon as possible, so that he can know what to do in advance."
Sun Ruoxuan also nodded when she heard the words, and said in agreement: "Yes, I still have to tell him."
Xie Bing thought for a while, finally bit his lip and nodded, "Then...turn around, if...if you don't come the day after tomorrow, I'll tell him!"
Sun Ruoxuan was about to say something when she heard the words, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, she called out "Please come in", but saw their producer He Wei standing at the door, knocking on the door again with a smile, "Several beauties, it's time for a meeting, I'll be waiting for you!"
The three agreed in unison, and they all stood up quickly. At this moment, He Wei was still at the door, and a staff member came to the door and said, "Manager He, last week's sales list is out. , This is the one for you." Turning around to see the three girls in the practice room, the man said again: "Sister Xie, Sister Wang, Sister Sun, this one is for you."
When he walked over and handed the copy to Sun Ruoxuan, he said again: "Manager He, Mr. Qi said that the meeting will be postponed for a while, so you can come later." Then he handed the things to Sun Ruoxuan, and he rushed a few more times. The girl nodded with a smile, then went out and continued to knock on the door at the end of the corridor.
"It came out a little early this time!" After nodding to the staff, He Wei impatiently unfolded the copy of the sales ranking list in his hand.
As for He Wei, after receiving the copy, Sun Ruoxuan opened it right away, and Xie Bing and Wang Jingxue also hurried over - at this time, they didn't even care about pregnancy.
You know, the first-week sales of "The Price of Love", especially the first-week sales during the current summer record war, to some extent represents whether the big sign "produced by Li Qian" continues to be so magical! From another perspective, it also indicates the gold content of their upcoming new album Rose Power.
Of course, the entire Minghu culture is very concerned about this!

More than five thousand words, not in vain!
To be honest, when I put everything aside to think about the story and code words, I really feel very happy, and it will be very cool to write!
