Then there was a long silence.
Qiao Jingjing sat to one side, watching her best friend and younger brother dominate the game.
There's a strange sense of melancholy about "a son growing up and no longer being under his mother's control."
This position originally belonged to her.
The game ended after fifteen minutes.
Of course, they lost.
Su Jinbei collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted, but still managed to gossip a bit:
How was your blind date?
"Don't even mention it. The moment we met, he started asking me all sorts of questions, like whether I'd been subjected to any unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, or how many boyfriends I'd had. When I said I'd never had a boyfriend, his eyes immediately lit up like a wolf's."
Qiao Jingjing sighed deeply, "He was practically asking me to go to a hotel room and have sex with him."
Qiao Yu sneered, "Is this what Mom meant by young and promising, with impeccable character?"
Qiao Jingjing looked at him tenderly and said in a sweet voice:
"That's right, no man in the world has a more steadfast character than my Ayu."
Qiao Yu chuckled.
Su Jinbei found it unbelievable, "There are people like that?"
Qiao Jingjing curled her lip: "A thirty-year-old man with money, a car, savings, and a successful career is probably proud. He's just trying to show off by looking at me, a young man in the entertainment industry."
"Let's not talk about these unpleasant things. My mom is great in every way, except she has terrible taste in men."
Qiao Yu said expressionlessly, "I'm going to record this and send it to the old man."
"Hate."
Qiao Jingjing said reproachfully.
She shifted her position closer to her younger brother and said sweetly, "Ayu, your older sister bought you new clothes."
"To show hospitality for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief."
"How could that be?" Qiao Jingjing said solicitously, massaging Qiao Yu's shoulders and apologizing, "Sister misspoke, I apologize. Please forgive me, you are too kind to hold a grudge against a young woman like me."
Qiao Yu was both amused and exasperated.
The dissatisfaction and resentment in my heart that touched my self-esteem.
The demon slashed and struck him repeatedly, obliterating him without a trace.
Qiao Jingjing has always been a woman who can be both flexible and resilient.
3pm.
The copyright fee for the song "Farewell" was 250,000 yuan.
In such a short time, he amassed a fortune of 850,000.
This might not be worth mentioning to Qiao Jingjing.
But it was definitely Qiao Yu's own money.
The future is expected.
Qiao Yu didn't plan to tell his sister right away.
He has his own plan.
If Qiao Jingjing finds out.
She was stuck in the mindset that "whatever belongs to her brother belongs to her sister."
Most likely, they'll throw a tantrum and try to swindle him out of his money...
Qiao Yu wants to accumulate more capital and then embark on his path to a business empire.
Therefore, Qiao Jingjing cannot know about this money yet.
But just what I feared most came to pass.
Monday, Jiaxing Entertainment.
As soon as Qiao Jingjing arrived at the company, Mo Xiangwan walked into her office and said, "Jingjing, Manager Liu from the marketing department is looking for you."
"What is it?" Qiao Jingjing asked.
"It seems to be about the copyright of your songs. Manager Liu wants to talk to you," Mo Xiangwan said in a low voice.
"Song copyright?"
Qiao Jingjing was a bit clueless in this regard.
She's a newcomer to the music scene, and she doesn't really know much about this area.
Mo Xiangwan led her to Manager Liu's office.
They knocked on the door and then pushed it inside.
Manager Liu is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with the big belly that no middle-aged man can escape.
"Teacher Qiao, you're here."
Manager Liu greeted Qiao Jingjing and her companion with a smile and invited them to sit down.
Qiao Jingjing smiled sweetly and said, "Manager Liu."
Manager Liu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Teacher Qiao has been singing on 'Singer' recently, right? I've been following her, and she's doing very well. Especially those songs, every single one of them is a masterpiece..."
"The company needs talent like you to continue to grow and thrive. It's only right to invest a lot of effort in training you."
Qiao Jingjing smiled without saying a word.
I was thinking to myself, when I decided to take a break from acting to participate in the show, you all cried and begged for forgiveness. Have you forgotten so quickly?
After rambling on for a while, Manager Liu finally got to the point: "Teacher Qiao, the reason I called you here is about the online copyright of those songs you sang on the show."
"Sigh, what can I say to you? You're an old man now, but I have to criticize you here. You've become a top movie star and now you've established yourself in the music industry. The company has spent a lot of resources to cultivate you."
"As an artist under the company, you should also know how to repay the company. You sold the online copyrights of those songs to the Music Billboard without authorization, do you know that you broke the rules?..."
"What do you expect the company to think of you? What will they think of you? You've set a very bad example for the people below you."
Qiao Jingjing was stunned by his scolding.
Mo Xiangwan was equally dumbfounded and hurriedly turned to look at Qiao Jingjing: "Jingjing, why didn't you even tell me about this?"
Qiao Jingjing was even more confused. "What online copyright? I...I don't know."
Mo Xiangwan hurriedly pulled out her phone, opened the "Music Billboard" app, and sure enough...
She handed her phone to Qiao Jingjing and said, "Here are some of your songs. 'The First Person I Loved' and 'Love You' are sixth and ninth on the monthly chart, respectively. 'Later' is second on the daily chart, first on the weekly chart, and fourth on the monthly chart."
Qiao Jingjing's first reaction was that her copyright had been infringed.
Then I thought about it.
The other party is a major online music platform; how could they possibly upload songs without copyright?
The only explanation is that my brother sold the copyright.
He even kept it from her; what a scheming boy.
"Manager Liu, I'm sorry, the copyrights to these songs don't belong to me. So this matter has nothing to do with me."
Manager Liu waved his hand, "For songs whose copyrights have already been sold, let's just forget about them. Just don't make decisions on your own next time."
"The artist should focus on their work; the company will handle everything else. Fortunately, the copyright for 'Farewell Song' is still valid, as it hasn't appeared on the music charts."
As he spoke, he pulled out a contract and said, "Take a look. If there are no problems, sign your name."
Qiao Jingjing didn't take it, hesitatingly asking, "This is..."
Manager Liu seemed dissatisfied with Qiao Jingjing's reaction. "Naturally, it's an authorization letter. From now on, the company will handle the operation of this song for you."
"A partner online platform happened to be interested and was willing to pay 50,000 yuan for the online copyright."
Qiao Jingjing flipped through it and glanced at it; wow.
This contract is not as simple as just online copyright.
All copyrights are licensed.
In other words, once Qiao Jingjing signed this contract, Li Ge would belong to Xingyi Company.
Mo Xiangwan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
She secretly favored Qiao Jingjing, but she couldn't say it aloud.
Ultimately, she is the company's agent.
If you turn around and harm the company's interests, do you still want to work here?
Qiao Jingjing laughed and said, "Manager Liu, the copyright of the song really doesn't belong to me. All the copyrights belong to my younger brother, and I have no right to make decisions about it."
Manager Liu said in a deep voice, "What's so difficult about that? It's just a matter of a word from you. Do you think your brother would disagree?"
"Besides, this is also to generate revenue for him. Since we're on the topic, the company has another task for you. You'll be responsible for communicating with your brother about the copyright of his songs and licensing them to the company."
"You are an artist in the company, and the company's interests are your interests."
Qiao Jingjing chuckled inwardly, but smiled humbly on her face, "Manager Liu, this contract is useless to me."
“Legally, I can’t represent my brother. Should I ask him first?”
Manager Liu nodded impatiently.
Qiao Jingjing lowered her head to edit the message:
[Get out here right now, or I promise I'll beat you to death (furious)]
Qiao Yu replied with a "terrified emoji".
Qiao Jingjing was furious and sent a message.
Did you sell the song's copyright?
