"No, I have no interest in your Entertainment Company whatsoever."
Zhang Lan shook her head decisively.
No matter what, she would not join Xu Lei's Entertainment Company, especially since she had already joined Lanpian Film and Television.
"Why?"
Xu Lei's eyes were filled with confusion.
She didn't understand why Zhang Lan was so insistent. Clearly, the release of her new song had been sabotaged by the Entertainment Company, resulting in no success, and future song releases might face the same situation.
Under these circumstances, she didn't understand what Zhang Lan was still holding onto.
Seeing Zhang Lan so resolute, she couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. She hadn't come today just to persuade her; she had come with a mission: to recruit Zhang Lan into the Entertainment Company.
Since joining the Entertainment Company, she had begun collaborating with Li Xiaoxiao and Wu Jie on song creation.
Only during the creative process did she realize what kind of decision-making role Zhang Lan had always played previously.
Before, when creating, it was basically just her, Li Xiaoxiao, and Wu Jie discussing things.
Only at important junctures, or when there were disagreements or difficulties, would Zhang Lan speak up and solve the problem.
At the time, she hadn't thought much of it, nor did she feel that the few words Zhang Lan occasionally said were very important. She even thought Zhang Lan was just slacking off on the sidelines and hadn't contributed much to the song creation.
But when they truly lost Zhang Lan during the creation process, they realized what a critical role Zhang Lan had played in every previous creation.
The more critical issue was that the Entertainment Company was already somewhat dissatisfied with their performance.
After all, since the music studio disbanded, Zhang Lan had already written a song and successfully released it, although due to the Entertainment Company's interference, that song hadn't achieved any results.
However, in terms of song quality alone, it was still a pretty good song.
And the three of them had only created one song, and compared to Zhang Lan's song, it was far inferior.
A single song might not mean much, but if all the songs turned out like this, then the problem would be huge.
Therefore, no matter what, she had to find a way to recruit Zhang Lan to their Entertainment Company.
"No reason. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Zhang Lan said as she stood up to leave. If she had known it was just about these things, she wouldn't have come here to waste her time.
"Aren't you afraid that the Entertainment Company will continue to target you, causing all the songs you release in the future to be attacked by internet trolls?"
Seeing Zhang Lan stand up to leave, Xu Lei couldn't help but raise her voice a little.
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhang Lan smiled, ignored Xu Lei, and turned to leave the coffee shop.
Arriving outside the coffee shop, she hailed a taxi and went home.
Returning to Changbai Jingyuan.
Just as she entered the house, she saw Shen Rou, Yang Yaoyao, and Liu Weiwei sitting in the living room chatting.
"Lanlan, you're back."
Shen Rou looked at Zhang Lan who had just entered and asked.
"Yeah! You guys keep chatting, I'm going to go change my clothes."
Zhang Lan nodded, changed into slippers, and went straight into the bedroom.
Shortly after, Zhang Lan came to the living room wearing a nightgown and sat down on the sofa.
"Sister Lan, how is your song coming along?"
Yang Yaoyao looked at Zhang Lan sitting on the sofa and asked curiously.
During this time, Zhang Lan had been practicing songs, and she would listen sometimes; it was really good.
She really hoped the songs would be recorded and released on music platforms.
That way, she could listen to them every day.
"Well, I've already recorded three songs, but I plan to release one first to see how it goes."
Zhang Lan nodded; she planned to release one song first to test the waters.
Then, she would gradually release the other two songs onto the music platform.
However, she wouldn't release them all at once; after all, releasing them together would undoubtedly dilute the traffic. She wanted to maximize the benefits of these songs.
"Which song is it?"
Liu Weiwei asked curiously.
"It's 'invisible wings'."
Zhang Lan leaned back on the sofa. Among those songs, the one she liked the most was 'invisible wings'. This song was as if it were singing about herself.
Therefore, she decided to make this song the first one to be released.
"This song? I really like it."
Liu Weiwei looked full of joy.
"Since it's recorded, when do you plan to release it?"
Shen Rou, sitting on the side, spoke up at the right moment.
"Probably tomorrow."
Zhang Lan smiled; she was looking forward to the moment the song was released.
The next day, at Mingri Group, Chen Mo sat in his office. After handling some basic work for the day, he called Shen Rou over.
"General Manager Chen, do you have any arrangements?"
"Hmm… notify Pang Tao and Xu Zhengming from the Pet Park, as well as Li Shen from Boring Short Videos… call Wu Yu as well. Have them come to my office for a meeting at 3:00 PM."
Chen Mo pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
These people had caused him so much trouble; how could he not let them suffer a little bit?
It just so happened that the organization team for the impoverished elderly could set off now. It would be better to let them go; leaving the company would mean less trouble for him.
As for Wu Yu, since Li Shen was going, it was like a buy-one-get-one-free deal. As the Vice General Manager, Wu Yu should go along too.
Anyway, he hadn't caused him any less trouble before.
"Okay, General Manager Chen."
Shen Rou nodded and returned to her office.
Watching Shen Rou return to her office, Chen Mo also stood up and walked out of the office. Today, he had to go to the Changfeng Garment Factory.
After all, he needed to resolve the pet clothing matter as soon as possible.
No matter what, he had to lower the revenue to the lowest possible level; this was the only remedy he could perform.
Currently, the first four industries—Cangxue Games, Nanhe Coffee, and Corner Pet Park—these three industries, for now, were completely ruined.
Now, only the Changfeng Garment Factory could still be salvaged.
Sigh! A perfectly good industry, just ruined like this.
Chen Mo sighed helplessly. There hadn't been a single thing going his way during this period.
Ding-dong! A sound came from his phone.
Chen Mo picked up his phone and took a look. He found it was from Zhang Lan—of course, it was his alt account; Zhang Lan didn't know who he was yet.
The content of the message was very simple.
"I'm planning to release a song today, 'invisible wings'."
Is a song being released!
Seeing this news, a smile finally appeared on the corner of Chen Mo's mouth.
This was probably the only good news among so much bad news.
Releasing a song meant he could start making money.
And this money could go directly into his personal assets!
Indeed, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself.
Once those songs are released, he could count himself as a rich person.
