At Xiaodong's house.
The three of them were very worried.
Amy asked, "Will Teacher Zhang be able to do it?"
Li Xiaoxian said, "There's not much time left."
Xiaodong said, "I wonder if he'll be able to make it to the concert in a few days."
Li Xiaoxian said, "Let's leave it to Teacher Zhang."
Amy said, "I'm just afraid that they won't give Teacher Zhang any face."
The three of them had been going solo for nearly two years now. Back then, Spring Garden was forced to disband due to contractual issues with their talent agency. Since then, they had not had a good time. They were one of the most famous girl groups in Asia, and each of them had their own fan bases. But after going solo, their fan bases were scattered. Coupled with the impact of the male idols era, they no longer had the appeal they once had. Their popularity plummeted, and the name Spring Garden became an eternal memory of the people. When they saw Zhang Ye return and how he won the championship, they were so envious that they wanted to reunite. They wanted to be like Zhang Ye, the three sisters, and challenge the entertainment circle together!
Perhaps their futures were uncertain.
Perhaps their radiance was not around.
But they wanted to give it a try. They really wanted to.
…
Monday.
In the morning.
After sending his daughter to school and Old Wu to work, Zhang Ye parked his car by the roadside and picked up his cell phone to call a number given to him by Amy.
Du du.
The call connected.
A woman answered the phone on the other end.
"Hello, this is Tianhe Entertainment."
"I'm looking for CEO Li."
"You are?"
"I'm Zhang Ye."
"Ah?"
"I have something to discuss with CEO Li. Can we set up a time?"
"CEO Li is on a business trip, so maybe —"
"Help me contact him."
"Alright, I'll definitely pass the message to you."
After hanging up, Zhang Ye sneered.
Business trip?
Amy clearly said that he was in China.
Zhang Ye knew that she did not want to see him. Thinking of this, he stepped on the accelerator without another word, turned the steering wheel, and headed straight for Tianhe Entertainment's headquarters.
At the company's entrance.
Zhang Ye stepped on the brakes and got out of the car.
When the security guards and staff saw him, they were stunned.
"Oh my God!"
"Zhang, Zhang Ye?"
"Why is he here?"
When everyone saw this, they were frightened. Of course, they did not think that their Tianhe Entertainment could poach Zhang Ye, because everyone knew that from the day Zhang Ye debuted, he had never had a management company. So when Zhang Ye appeared here, everyone felt that it was not a good thing. In particular, it was common knowledge that Amy had been at odds with the company for the past two years.
One of the company's fresh meat also happened to come down from upstairs.
It was Hai Yifei, a member of Tian He Entertainment.
Hai Yifei was also stunned. "Teacher Zhang?"
Zhang Ye did not see him and went straight to the elevator.
The security guards wanted to stop them, but in the end, no one dared to reach out.
Zhang Ye's notoriety was like thunder to the ears. Even after three or four years, no one dared to provoke him.
A security guard said, "Something's going to happen!"
The receptionist said, "Quickly make a call to inform the higher-ups!"
Ding.
On the way, the elevator arrived.
The moment Zhang Ye stepped out of the elevator, a female secretary ran over in a panic. "Teacher Zhang, why are you here? Mr. Li isn't here, he — "
Judging from the voice, it was the person who had just answered the phone.
Zhang Ye completely ignored her. He narrowed his eyes and walked straight in.
The female secretary said anxiously, "Aiyo, Teacher Zhang! Teacher Zhang, what are you doing! "
The office was right in front.
Zhang Ye did not knock on the door and just pushed it open.
A middle-aged man was sitting at his desk talking on the phone. When he saw Zhang Ye, he looked startled and immediately said to the person on the phone, "Old Chu, I have something to attend to here, so I'll be hanging up first."
Zhang Ye smiled. "Mr. Li, you're back from your business trip so soon?"
The female secretary was embarrassed.
But Mr. Li chuckled. "Isn't this Teacher Zhang? Please come in, come in! "
Zhang Ye did not bring up the subject again. "Mr. Li, I came uninvited today."
"You're welcome. I've been wanting to ask you out for a meal ever since you came back, but I couldn't find an opportunity." Mr. Li asked, "Is Minister Wu doing well?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "She's doing pretty well."
The two of them were not acquaintances, but they were not strangers either. Although Zhang Ye was not very popular, there weren't many people he did not know in the entertainment industry back then.
The two of them sat down.
The female secretary came over to pour tea with a wry smile.
Mr. Li asked, "Why were you looking for me?"
Zhang Ye did not beat around the bush. "I want you to think of a way to resolve Amy's contract."
Mr. Li looked troubled. "Oh, about that."
Zhang Ye said, "They were the best girl group in the country back then. Now that they've disbanded and only Amy is left in your company, you guys aren't supporting her or finding work for her. She still has to make ends meet, right? Rather than that, you might as well let her go. We're all in the industry, so we'll see each other all the time. It won't be good for anyone if this goes on. How about this, Mr. Li, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll just treat it as owing you a favor and let her go. Just name a figure for the breach of contract. I'll pay for it on Amy's behalf. "
Mr. Li did not say anything.
The female secretary immediately said, "That won't do. Amy's matter is very complicated. Back then, she —"
Zhang Ye gave her a look.
Mr. Li immediately said to the secretary, "I'm talking to Teacher Zhang. What business is it of yours?"
The female secretary quickly shut up.
Mr. Li looked at Zhang Ye. "Teacher Zhang, since you've already put it this way, I'll give you face. Don't mention the breach of contract anymore. That would be treating me like an outsider." He then instructed his secretary, "Go and contact the legal department and settle Amy's contract. Get it done by the end of the day!"
The female secretary hurriedly said, "Yes!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Ten minutes later.
Zhang Ye left.
Mr. Li heaved a sigh of relief.
The female secretary also returned.
Mr. Li asked, "Is it done?"
The female secretary said bitterly, "It's done. The contract has been sorted out. When Amy comes over, we can terminate the contract."
"Alright," Mr. Li said.
The female secretary asked out of curiosity, "Why are you doing this?"
Over at the office, several of the vice presidents knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Li."
"Terminate Amy's contract?"
"Why should we do that?"
"We don't even want the breach of contract anymore?"
Mr. Li waved it off. "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's just leave it at that." He sighed and said, "Since Zhang Ye is here, we have to give him face."
When everyone heard that, they could only smile wryly.
Director Li said, "It's not that easy to get Zhang Ye's favor. His wife is in a high position, so there will definitely come a time when she needs his help in the future. Besides, it's not like you guys don't know what kind of temper Zhang Ye has. Now that he's back, I think the entertainment circle will be thrown into chaos again. Let's not be the first to stand out. Hai, there's Zhang Ye and Minister Wu.
Everyone looked at one another.
Yeah.
A hooligan.
A leader.
Who could they afford to offend?
…
Outside.
Zhang Ye called Amy.
"Teacher Zhang?"
"It's done. Come over to Tianhe Entertainment."
"What?"
"Hurry over and terminate the contract."
"Damn, Teacher Zhang, I love you to death!"
On the other end of the line, Amy, Xiaodong, and Li Xiaoxian cheered!
It was really done?
Amy was free?
Teacher Zhang was the one with the most influence!
They could not hide their excitement and were overjoyed!
Two years!
A full two years!
Their Spring Garden could once again take on the industry!
Xiaodong immediately said, "Teacher Zhang, we're officially inviting you to be our guest for our concert in a few days. You must come!"
Amy shouted, "Yes, yes, yes! You must come! "
Zhang Ye was also happy for them. He laughed and said, "Alright, this is such an important moment, so I'll definitely be there. I'll write a song for all of you so that we can have some fun together. Back then, I promised you all that for the concert at the Olympic Stadium. I even said that the four of us would perform together again, but in the end, I stood you all up. This time, I'll make it up to you all. Consider it a gift from me!"
Li Xiaoxian exclaimed, "That's great!"
Amy said, "Lord Zhang is such a good friend!"
Xiaodong said, "Hahahaha, let's invite all our old friends from back then. Let's have some fun together!"
