After chasing away Xiao Gao, ChenJianhao's attention returned to Fatty.
His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's and Fatty was trembling like a quail. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Although Fatty Sound Tube was known as the number two in the electronics room and the number three in the world, when the boss arrived with rage, his fat body trembled. He was so terrified that he wanted to immediately find a hole to hide in.
Unable to hide, he could only squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Boss, I know I was wrong, it was Xiao Gao …"
"I know it was Xiao Gao who instigated you to do this …"
ChenJianhao interrupted his explanation and said, "So this time I will only deduct your bonus for this month. If there is a next time …"
To be able to open a medium-sized bar in Houhai, ChenJianhao was certainly not an ordinary person. His shrewd and experienced eyes did not rub the slightest bit of sand in them. Without even asking, he could guess the truth of the matter.
As the instigator of all this, ChenJianhao definitely could not tolerate Xiao Gao. However, Sound Tube could not be turned on.
Of course, a corresponding punishment and warning was necessary.
"There won't be a next time!"
Fatty suddenly felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly said, "I will definitely behave myself. I will fix Xiao Lu's voice right now!"
He hastily turned on the mixer.
Unexpectedly, ChenJianhao pondered for a moment and said, "There is no need to fix Xiao Lu's voice. The others can continue as usual."
Originally, in Forget Grass Bar, there were only two singers that did not need to be fixed. They were the contracted singer Zhang Nana and the lead singer of The Bionics, Qin Hanyang. Both of them were pillars of the stage.
Now, Lu Chen was added to the mix!
ChenJianhao was worried that after tonight, Lu Chen would have to fly away. The world here was really too small.
Nodding at Fatty's head, he left the electronics room.
On the other side, Lu Chen had just finished singing 《You Who Sat Next To Me》 for the second time and received even more enthusiastic applause.
There were also bottles of beer as tips!
"Xiao Lu, sing two more songs!" someone shouted.
With so many tips, Lu Chen also wanted to sing a few more songs. However, if the bar was a small Jianghu, then the Jianghu had its rules. A small shrimp like him was not qualified to ignore the rules.
As a fill-in singer, it was his duty to sing two songs, and it was not too much to sing one more song at the request of the guests. However, if he wanted to continue to dominate the stage, he would incur the wrath of the public. Were the other singers watching him sing?
So when he saw the host, Lu Chen immediately stood up and bowed. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you!"
At this moment, he saw ChenJianhao waving at him from behind the bar counter, so he took the opportunity to give the stage to Sister Hong.
After putting away his guitar in the backstage room, Lu Chen hurried to the bar.
"Boss!"
"Sit down and talk …"
ChenJianhao nodded and gestured for him to sit down. "You sang well today. This song 'You Who Sat Next To Me' was very interesting. I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability. I really misjudged you before."
Lu Chen scratched his head embarrassedly and didn't know how to explain.
To be honest, even he felt like he was in a dream. It was a bit unreal.
Fortunately, ChenJianhao didn't want to get to the bottom of it. He pointed at the charming woman sitting beside him and said, "This is my cousin, Su Qingmei. She just opened a media company with someone else. She is interested in you, so she wants to talk about signing a contract with you."
"Me?"
Lu Chen couldn't believe his ears. "Sign a contract with a media company?"
This was something he had never dreamed of. Everything happened too fast, and good things came one after another!
Su Qingmei laughed. "That's right, it's you!"
"Let me introduce myself. I am the director of Light Rain Media Company, Su Qingmei. I like your song very much."
She reached out her hand to Lu Chen. "You can call me Sister Mei."
"Hello, Director Su …"
Lu Chen reached out and shook her hand. It was soft and soft, and his heart couldn't help pounding.
Su Qingmei smiled sweetly. She didn't correct Lu Chen's way of addressing her. She said, "Our Light Rain Media Company is mainly involved in artist management, film and television production, large-scale activities, new media, and other businesses. We are currently recruiting talented new artists. If you are willing, then we can sign a formal contract tomorrow."
After the initial excitement, Lu Chen gradually calmed down. He asked, "Director Su, if it's convenient, can I see the content of the contract first?"
If Lu Chen got the opportunity to sign a contract yesterday, he wouldn't have any hesitation. However, the current Lu Chen had the huge wealth of the world, and he had just been proved.
So, although the temptation of signing a contract with a media company was great, it wasn't enough to make him lose his mind.
Su Qingmei was a little surprised. She smiled and said, "Of course, there's no problem. I have a copy of the new artist's contract in my mobile phone. I'll open it for you to see. I can also send it to you via QQ."
Lu Chen quickly said, "Then I'll trouble you to borrow Director Su's mobile phone. It'll be faster this way …"
It was better not to take out the broken mobile phone in his pocket to show his incompetence.
Su Qingmei took out the mobile phone from her bag with the "CHANEL" logo, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and then handed it to Lu Chen.
On the 5.5-inch ultra-high-definition screen, the enlarged text was clearly displayed.
The content of the new artist's contract was very long. It wasn't possible to read it all in a short time. However, Lu Chen roughly read a few clauses. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
The harshness of this contract was far beyond his imagination!
In the past, when Lu Chen read the news on the Internet and browsed blogs, he often saw that certain actors, certain singers and entertainment agencies had conflicts and disputes, quarreling and fighting lawsuits. Among the reasons used by those stars to accuse their employers, there was always the contract signed by the two parties.
It was too harsh, inhumane, had no freedom, was exploited … In short, it was all kinds of miserable.
At that time, Lu Chen was just watching the excitement. He didn't really believe it. Every star knew how to act. Their tricks to gain sympathy were always the same. Everyone was used to it.
But now that he had just come into contact with this industry, he knew that many things weren't all fake.
This new artist's contract had to be signed for 10 years. Within 10 years, Lu Chen couldn't leave Light Rain Media Company.
Moreover, the breach of contract was as high as 10 million!
If he signed it, it meant that the best years of his life would all be sold to the other party!
Just this clause alone made Lu Chen feel disgusted in his heart.
Secondly, the contract stipulated that during the training and internship period, the new artist could only receive the legal minimum salary. There were no benefits or bonuses. They were also not allowed to work privately to earn extra money.
Lu Chen thought that it would be better to find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
In addition, after signing the contract, his portrait rights, creative copyrights, and other rights would all belong to the company. He would receive dividends based on his qualifications and performance. The minimum was only 10%!
Lu Chen couldn't stand it anymore. Although there were many complicated clauses at the back.
He handed the phone back to Su Qingmei and said, "Director Su, I'm really sorry. I don't want to sign this contract."
"Why?"
Su Qingmei frowned and asked, "You haven't finished reading before you made a decision. Aren't you too anxious?"
Lu Chen tactfully replied, "The previous clauses are not suitable for my situation. I'm really sorry."
His family owed a huge amount of debt. He worked hard in Beijing. Although it was tiring, at least his income was good. While maintaining his living, he could still send a lot of money back home every month.
If he signed this contract, he wouldn't be able to live on in the future.
The most important was the rights clause. According to the contract, the company would take all the copyrights of his songs. At most, they would give him some leftovers!
If it was the previous Lu Chen, he might not care about this. But now that he had a huge treasury, how could he give it to others?
Not to mention the clauses that restricted his freedom …
But Su Qingmei didn't understand Lu Chen's thoughts. She thought that he was bargaining and was very unhappy.
She thought for a moment and said, "If it's a problem with the clauses, all the entertainment, media, and management companies have similar contracts for new artists. As long as you sign this contract, our Light Rain Media will use a lot of resources to train, package, and promote you. Don't just look at the little benefits in front of you!"
"Think about it carefully. Don't be impulsive and miss the opportunity!"
Su Qingmei really wanted to tell the brat in front of her that many people wanted this contract but couldn't get it!
But Lu Chen didn't like her aggressive tone. He immediately retorted, "I'm really sorry, Director Su. Maybe I'm short-sighted now. If there's an opportunity in the future, let's cooperate again."
You're beautiful, you're rich, and you're the director of a media company. But so what?
I don't want anything from you. Why should I listen to you?
Lu Chen straightened his back and used his eyes to tell the other party that he refused and insisted!
Although it wasn't easy to reject this beautiful director.
"Cooperate?"
Su Qingmei was so angry that she almost laughed. What a big mouth!
So what if you're handsome? So what if you can play the piano and sing? You think you're great just because you wrote an original song?
Too naive!
If there was a glass of water in front of her, Su Qingmei would definitely pour it on Lu Chen's head to wake him up.
"Cough cough!"
Seeing that both parties were in a dispute and the atmosphere had become hostile, ChenJianhao, who was sitting at the side, coughed twice and said, "Xiao Lu, how about this. You go back tonight and think about it. Tomorrow …"
"There's no need for tomorrow!"
Su Qingmei frowned and stood up. She neatly stuffed her phone back into her bag. Her beautiful face revealed a proud expression, "Light Rain Media is just a small temple. I can't afford to invite such a great god. I'll leave first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head and left. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the entrance of the bar.
But no matter how one looked at her figure, there was a hint of resentment.
ChenJianhao and Lu Chen looked at each other speechlessly. The former sighed and said, "I didn't even pay for the wine …"
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh. He had never seen his boss with such a humorous side.
