Payment

Two days later, Chen Mo looked at his personal assets, which hadn't changed at all, and then suspiciously glanced at the text message Zhang Lan had sent him.

"President Chen, the music platform has already transferred the funds."

They transferred it? Why hasn't there been any change in my personal funds account?

Thinking of this, a bad premonition suddenly flashed through Chen Mo's mind.

This time, could there be another sneaky person messing with him behind his back?

That shouldn't be the case. He had given out the songs anonymously; no one knew that he was the one who had provided them.

How could someone still be making trouble behind his back?

He felt slightly relieved, thinking that perhaps the money just hadn't arrived yet and that it might arrive if he waited a little longer.

"President Chen, this is the information that Lanpian Film and Television just uploaded. Please take a look."

Shen Rou handed the documents in her hand to President Chen with a smile on her face.

She had already looked through these documents; it wasn't anything major, just that the licensing fees for those three songs authorized by Zhang Lan had been transferred.

Since these songs were provided by President Chen, she figured he must be paying attention to this matter as well.

Therefore, after the documents were uploaded, she reviewed them once, printed them out, and came over to give them to President Chen.

"Hmm!" Chen Mo nodded and casually took the documents Shen Rou handed him.

He didn't care much about it in his heart; what he was most concerned about right now was why the licensing fees hadn't been transferred to his personal account yet.

He brought the documents in front of him and flipped through them casually. However, he soon froze.

His eyes were fixed on the content of the documents, and then he looked at Shen Rou, who hadn't left yet, his voice trembling slightly.

"When did Zhang Lan join Lanpian Film and Television?"

He finally knew why the licensing fees hadn't been transferred to his personal account; it turned out that Zhang Lan had joined Lanpian Film and Television.

According to the rules given by the system, only the funds from songs that profited without any connection to the Mingri Group would be transferred to his personal account.

But now that Zhang Lan had joined Lanpian Film and Television and become a member of Lanpian Film and Television, the possibility of the funds obtained being transferred to his personal account was basically cut off.

What on earth is going on!

"She has been a member for some time now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Rou thought carefully for a moment and finally stated the specific time.

Listening to the time given by Shen Rou, the corners of Chen Mo's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Wasn't this time just after he had given the songs to Zhang Lan? So much time had passed, and yet he hadn't received any news at all.

And that Luo Xiao, he really is something. The company added a new music division, and he didn't even report it. He really has grown bold.

And Zhang Lan, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You already signed a contract with me, yet you still joined the company; isn't this a breach of contract?

"President Chen!" Seeing President Chen's expression change, Shen Rou tentatively called out to him.

"Hmm!" Chen Mo came back to his senses upon hearing this and waved his hand at Shen Rou.

"You go back to doing your work."

"Alright, President Chen."

Shen Rou looked at President Chen with some concern, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally turned and went back to her own office.

Watching Shen Rou enter her office, he finally couldn't control his emotions any longer, and the documents in his hand were instantly crumpled into a ball.

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, his eyes looking somewhat vacant.

Over ten million in personal assets! Just like that, they had vanished into thin air.

Feeling unwilling to accept this, he turned his consciousness toward the system panel in his mind.

"System, this isn't right. Clearly, I signed the contract first, and Zhang Lan signed the contract with Lanpian Film and Television later, so the income should be transferred to my funds account."

[host, although you signed the contract first, Lanpian Film and Television also did some promotion for the release of the songs. Therefore, Lanpian Film and Television played a certain role in the current popularity of the songs. So, it is impossible for the income to be transferred to your personal account.]

"But it was me who signed the contract first. Zhang Lan signed the contract with me and then signed a contract with the company; this is clearly a violation."

Chen Mo spoke up, still feeling unwilling to accept it. With over ten million in funds vanishing just like that, anyone would be unwilling to accept it.

The system fell silent for a moment. After a while, a voice that seemed to be at its limit sounded again.

[Given that Zhang Lan signed a contract with the company after signing the contract with you, there is indeed a violation. After calculation, 1% of the income from a song will enter the host's personal account.]

Listening to the system's voice, Chen Mo's eyes brightened slightly.

He had only expressed a bit of protest; he didn't expect the system to actually give him some leeway.

Although he hadn't gotten the over 10 million, 1% was still over 100,000. It could be considered a consolation.

He turned his consciousness to the system panel, and his personal assets had indeed increased. It had gone from the previous 960,000 to the current 1.09 million.

His personal assets had finally surpassed one million. It really hadn't been easy.

Chen Mo sighed slightly, sat up from his chair, picked up his phone, and called Zhang Lan directly.

Now that he couldn't get all of his personal assets, there was no need to hide it anymore; he wanted to call Zhang Lan over and ask her clearly.

…

Lanpian Film and Television, Music Department.

Zhang Lan sat in her own private office, watching the effective play counts of the three songs "invisible wings," "later," and "ten years" on the Kuma Music platform constantly increasing, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop curling up.

Of course, there was another thing that made people even happier: that morning, the Kuma Music platform had sent her a message stating that the licensing fees for the three songs had already been transferred.

This was something worth being happy about, so after receiving the news, she immediately sent a message to President Chen—of course, to that secondary account of President Chen's.

Since President Chen wanted to keep a low profile and hide, they would just cooperate; anyway, the result was no different—it was all profit.

Hmm! Now that the third song had been released, it seemed she should strike while the iron was hot and start working on releasing the fourth song.

Buzz, buzz, buzz! While she was considering which one to release for the fourth song, the phone on the desk suddenly vibrated.

Zhang Lan glanced at the caller ID and froze for a moment; it was President Chen calling, and he was using his main number.

This… Zhang Lan was somewhat surprised; ever since she saved President Chen's phone number, this was the first time President Chen had called her.

She wondered what President Chen wanted. Thinking this, she hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Come to my office!"

As soon as the call connected, President Chen's voice came through the phone, and before she could respond, the call had already been hung up.

Go to President Chen's office? Zhang Lan slowly put down the phone, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

This was the first time she had been called to the office since joining Lanpian Film and Television.

She estimated that President Chen was very satisfied with the matter of the songs this time.

Thinking this in her heart, Zhang Lan had already stood up and was walking toward the outside.
