My wife is in my arms

Chapter 767 Emotion Card Three
Zhang You leaned back in his office chair and couldn't help but laugh.

I don't know why so many people in the company are afraid of her... Isn't that kind of funny? She hasn't even done anything yet, and she's already thinking about going abroad. She's certainly made plenty of preparations.

If Zhang You is an ambitious person, he might actually strive to become a world superstar, after all, his future is not just bright, it's practically the pinnacle of life.

However, it seems that he has had more than one peak.

If Zhang You really wants to reach the top, he could just show up in front of Jiang Yiren's father from time to time and then play the role of a filial son and grandson.

As time goes on...

As long as his sister-in-law doesn't get married, Phantom Company will likely fall into his hands. However... it's not that Zhang You isn't interested, but he's mainly frightened by the news that Phantom's cash flow is disrupted every now and then.

Don't let him miss out on a good deal. Jiang Dahu asked his son-in-law to help him pay off a supplier's order with some money upfront. Should he pay him or not?
If Jiang Dahu says no, given his access to information, he must have done his research beforehand. Although artists' earnings are limited, some of the payments are not much, only tens of millions or even a hundred million.

They didn't borrow much.

Therefore, Zhang You would definitely not walk into the trap before the Phantom showed sufficient market potential. In any case, as long as his sister-in-law was not married, he would have a chance. Even if he didn't, Jiang Yiren was definitely pregnant with two, and they would eventually be caught in his grasp.

Pushing these thoughts out of his mind, Zhang You opened his laptop. The lyrics for "I've Crossed the Ocean to See You" were already written, but the music hadn't been composed yet. He was just about to start writing when Lin Bao'er, who had left in anger not long ago, unexpectedly returned.

When Zhang You looked at her with a puzzled expression, Lin Bao'er rolled her eyes.

Don't say it.

Bao'er rolls her eyes more attractively than most women because of her doe-like eyes. Handing her phone to Zhang You, Lin Bao'er reminded him, "The chairman of Rookie Music."

Zhang You chuckled and took the phone from Bao'er.

Last night, Qin Tai and his agent went to his house, but returned empty-handed. The chairman of Rookie Music knew that he couldn't just stay out of it.

Zhang You knew without a doubt that it was the sheer volume of sales for "Until the End of the World" that made him uneasy. In this profit-driven society, nothing is more appealing than tangible profits.

Lin Bao'er pulled over a chair and sat back down opposite Zhang You.

The meeting was delayed by fifteen minutes. She could have simply given Zhang You's number to the chairman of Rookie Music and let him call Zhang You himself, but Lin Bao'er was quite curious about what Zhang You would say.

That's why I asked him to wait a moment and personally handed the phone to Zhang You.

Being able to quickly grasp the concept of "sky-high price songs" and understand the potential for hype behind them proves that this guy is quite quick-witted.

Especially last night when she directly revealed that there was another version of "Somewhere Winter," to be honest, she still didn't know what Zhang You's intention was in saying that.

If there really is another version, I'll just sing it myself.

It would be better if he released his own version after Qin Tai did, so that fans could directly compare them.

But... Lin Bao'er really couldn't understand it.

Zhang Youxian chuckled twice after taking the phone, and then said something that made Lin Bao'er's expression turn extremely strange.

Zhang You smiled and said, "Let me guess what you're going to say. You'll probably say that the 'sky-high price song' was a decision made privately by a senior executive in the company without your knowledge, and that you were not only very angry after finding out, but also severely criticized him, and then said something like 'I'm sorry'."

Lin Bao'er was utterly astonished by Zhang You's appearance.

This is really unconventional!
Although... if it were her, she would definitely say the same thing, but the way Zhang You said it first made her feel not only strange but also particularly awkward, especially since Zhang You kept using the formal "you" in his address.

I've shown respect, but something just doesn't feel right!
After annoying the chairman of Rookie Music, Zhang You continued, "You don't need to say anything unnecessary. I don't care, but your time is precious, so just get to the point! What are you planning to give in return?! Don't think that just because Qin Tai personally came to my house last night and didn't take the other version, you can take it with just one phone call. You don't have that much influence. As for giving me an extra one or two million, how about this: you sold me 'About Winter' for fifteen million, didn't you?"

At this point, Zhang You turned to look at Lin Bao'er under her gaze, then said seriously, "I'll add another five million, which means you'll make five million on the song 'About in Winter.' You've only had it for two days and you've already made five million. I envy your business. What do you think? If there are no problems, let's close the deal. I'll transfer twenty million to Rookie Music's account in a bit."

Lin Bao'er felt that even the most skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor couldn't feel Zhang You's pulse anymore.

This guy is acting like he's having a brain fart.

After the song was sold, they wanted to buy it back at a higher price. What kind of tactic is this? Lin Bao'er subconsciously got up to touch Zhang You's forehead. She wanted to see if Zhang You had a fever and damaged his brain.

As soon as she reached out her hand, Zhang You slapped it away.

Just as Lin Bao'er was about to reach out again, Zhang You, who was holding Lin Bao'er's phone and making a call, reached out and pinched Lin Bao'er's cheek hard.

Song Lan's figure reappeared.

She was just about to remind Chairman Lin that the heads of each department were already in the conference room and waiting for her to arrive, but when they came in... they were becoming more and more oblivious to everyone else.

Just now, Chairman Lin shook Director Zhang's hand.

Now, Director Zhang is pinching Chairman Lin's cheeks, especially since it's while Director Zhang is on the phone. It seems that this call is from Jiang Yiren, and Chairman Lin is jealous, so Director Zhang is using this teasing method to appease Chairman Lin.

I'm at the company right now.

If we change the location.

It was bound to be another simple, direct, and mutually pleasing way to calm down. Zhang You and Lin Bao'er also noticed Song Lan's figure, and the two immediately stopped their playful fight.

Lin Bao'er glared fiercely at Zhang You.

Zhang You ignored her. After Zhang You finished speaking, the chairman of Rookie Music laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, this isn't the attitude for business. Don't talk about paying extra to buy it back. Your song is only worth this price. As for the other version, name your terms."

Zhang You had already said most of what needed to be said, so the chairman of Rookie Music didn't bother with further beating around the bush. However, he still added with a smile, "After all, it's another version of 'Somewhere Winter,' so the terms have to be reasonable. How about three million? I believe we won't just collaborate this once; there will definitely be more opportunities for collaboration in the future."

Do you think that collaborating with you will bring me more profits than singers under other entertainment companies?

Before the chairman of Cainiao Music could answer, Zhang You continued, "You must know very well why you were able to buy the song from me this time. You benefited from Lin Bao... Dong's influence; it was she who asked, and I only reluctantly agreed. But what was the result?! I gave her face, but you acted unfairly! You took the benefits and then turned around and criticized me. If you were me, what would you do?! Alright, I've said enough; you should know what to do. I'm not a petty person; as long as others are willing... What, fifty million?"

"..."

Lin Bao'er was baffled.

"What fifty million?" Then Lin Bao'er knew what fifty million meant.

Suddenly, Zhang You spoke up, "Chairman Lin, asking you for 50 million as compensation for my emotional distress... that's a bit excessive! What!? This is to build a bridge for your company's singers and me to continue our cooperation? Chairman Lin, that's going too far. What kind of bridge requires so much money to build!?"

Lin Bao'er pointed at Zhang You, so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhang You smiled at her and then held up one finger. Lin Bao'er immediately stopped being angry. If she could really get 50 million from Rookie Music, it would be a testament to Zhang You's abilities.

However, this possibility seems extremely slim. When has it ever been necessary to pay so much "for the next collaboration"? No matter how good you are at making promises, there's no way you can do it this way.
