Chapter 124 Don't Want to Work
Du Xiao felt that her future life would be full of sour smells, so much so that she lost her appetite for breakfast.
"Don't you want to eat?" Yan Ran asked.
"Lose weight!" Du Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "Do you want to go?"
"Let's go." Yan Ran said and gave the car keys to Xu Rui, "Here, the car is back to you."
"You drive." Xu Rui said, "How can I let my wife go to and from get off work so hard."
"What wife!" Yan Ran pouted and tried to put the key in Xu Rui's hand, "Don't you have to go back to the dormitory to pack your luggage today? It's so troublesome if you don't drive."
Du Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, and said "I'll wait downstairs" and hurried out.
Xu Rui explained: "Brother Liang is here to pick me up, there is a car."
"Really?" Yan Ran was half-believing and half-doubting.
"I'm so popular now, what do you think?" Xu Rui raised his eyebrows, "Not only does he have a car, but he also has a driver, and maybe a beautiful assistant who serves tea and water."
"You're so proud!" Yan Ran heard it, stepped on Xu Rui's foot, turned around and walked away, "Forget it, it's not necessary."
Xu Rui covered his foot: "It hurts!"
"Let the beautiful assistant rub it for you!" Yan Ran's voice floated in from outside the door.
"Is it really possible?" Xu Rui shouted with a smile.
"You wish!"
...
Xu Rui didn't lie to Yan Ran. Last night, Lu Ziliang said that he would find him today. He heard that he hadn't packed his luggage yet, and said that he would send him there.
Sure enough, at nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Ziliang arrived in a nanny car. When he saw me, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, champion!"
Xu Rui got in the car: "Brother Liang, are you looking for me to discuss the contract?"
Lu Ziliang nodded: "Yes, the company recognizes your performance very much. "Mountain and River Map" and "Loyalty to the Country" entered the top ten of the Oriental Music New Force Annual List, which is a sure thing. You win the bet agreement. The company will set up a separate studio for you. The specific details need to be further negotiated with you."
"Is it urgent?" Xu Rui asked.
"What do you think?" Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "Do you know that as soon as the live broadcast ended last night, invitations for announcements and endorsement requests came like snowflakes. I was checking my mailbox and answering calls at night. This is a part of the valuable announcements and endorsements that I selected. Take a look."
"No hurry, no hurry." Xu Rui felt a headache when he saw the list. Now that the initiative is in his hands, he will not let himself suffer.
Lu Ziliang had an expression that he had known this would happen, and reminded him: "Then I'll send it to your phone. You can take a look when you have time. Whether it succeeds or not, you have to reply to the other party, otherwise they will think you are arrogant."
Xu Rui nodded: "I understand."
"By the way, the boss asked me to bring two bottles of wine. You can go to the program group and give them to Director Ma and Director Zheng. Don't worry, the program has been recorded and they will receive it."
"What kind of wine is it?" Xu Rui was quite curious. He took it from Lu Ziliang and took a look. He exclaimed, "Tsk... 12-year-old Burgundy white wine, a good year."
Lu Ziliang was quite surprised: "You also know this?"
"I know a little, I know a little!" Xu Rui was very modest and asked, "In whose name?"
"The boss's."
"Okay." Xu Rui nodded.
Lu Ziliang was stunned for a moment, and felt that Xu Rui meant that he was not happy to send it in his name?
When they arrived at the dormitory, because the program group still had finishing work, no one had left, so Xu Rui took the wine to find Ma Zhiru and Zheng Hongyang.
"The champion is here!" Ma Zhiru was also very excited to see him, "Oh, why did you bring something?"
Xu Rui said directly: "Our boss asked me to bring it here."
Ma Zhiru understood immediately. After all, Xu Rui was pushed in by Shenghua Entertainment. It was a favor, and two bottles of wine were just a token of his appreciation.
"Boss Gu, you're too polite." Ma Zhiru sighed. Now it was not certain who owed whom a favor.
Zheng Hongyang was not there, so the wine was left with Ma Zhiru. After Xu Rui and other staff members said goodbye, they went to pack their luggage and leave.
"It's finally over." Xu Rui felt relieved and happy.
However, this happiness did not last long. After getting in the car, he talked to Lu Ziliang about the details of the studio, and the most important thing was the issue of autonomy.
At this point, it was written in black and white, and Shenghua Entertainment had no intention of going back on its word. Xu Rui had full authority over the subsequent announcements and endorsements. He could accept them if he wanted to, and not accept them if he didn't want to.
Xu Rui did not give in. With his freedom, he was happy to compromise on the profit sharing.
In fact, Shenghua Entertainment was not happy with his compromise. After all, if Xu Rui was willing to not work for a year, they would not make a penny, and the initiative was not in their hands.
After the core issue was settled, Xu Rui did not care about other small matters. He would sign the contract after the formal contract was drafted and the lawyer took a look to see if there were any traps.
After the discussion was almost over, Lu Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had accomplished his mission: "By the way, the last thing, your agent..."
Xu Rui was a little surprised: "Why, Brother Liang, do you want to quit?"
Lu Ziliang explained: "No, you can find a separate agent now. After all, I was assigned to you by the company, and I have other artists under me."
Xu Rui said straightforwardly: "It's you, Brother Liang. You can continue to manage the artists under you. After all, I heard that the agent takes a commission from the notice contract. If you only follow me, I'm afraid you won't make much money."
"Okay, then I'll go back and tell the company and see how the company arranges it?" Lu Ziliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xu Rui's meaning was quite obvious, that is, he didn't want to work very much, and maybe even the word "too" was redundant!
"Then it's settled." After Xu Rui finished speaking, the car just sent him back downstairs, but he didn't let Lu Ziliang go. He sent the luggage upstairs and took the car to Yan Ran's studio.
After sending him there, Lu Ziliang went back to the company to report to Gu Qiming's office. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the stereo sound of "Mountain and River Map" surrounding the office.
"How is it?" Gu Qiming was in a good mood.
"It's almost done."
"That's fine." Gu Qiming nodded. He couldn't get a big bargain, but Xu Rui was under the name of Shenghua Entertainment, so he still made money. It's good to be content when you can't be greedy!
After Lu Ziliang left, Gu Qiming shook his head: "... In the southernmost part of the blue sea and sky, a dragon soars out of the waves! Oh, this song is really good."
Xu Rui arrived at the studio, and when he saw him, the crew made a little noise in the later stage: "Director Yan, the champion boyfriend is here!"
"Enough!" Yan Ran scolded, but she was just scolding with a smile, no one took it seriously. She looked around angrily, and then asked Xu Rui, "Are you done?"
"Well, did it disturb your work?"
"No." Yan Ran smiled and shook her head.
"Then let's talk inside?"
"Inside?" Yan Ran blinked, "Okay!"
The two went into Yan Ran's small office and closed the door. The people squeezed outside wanted to put their ears to the door, but they were just thinking about it.
"What's wrong?"
"I brought you a gift." Xu Rui took out the things in the bag, "This is the album that I asked several mentors to sign, to help you enrich your collection. Oh, and there is also Bai Maojie's signature. Wang Jinghan wants it, so you can give it to her when you have time."
Yan Ran was very happy: "Thank you."
"That's all?" Xu Rui was very dissatisfied.
Yan Ran immediately grabbed his hand and smiled when she heard it: "Well... there's more. It's great to see you every day!"
