"… That's the situation. What do you think we should do?" At the dinner table, Murphy rested her chin on her hand as she looked at Yang Yi with sparkling eyes.
Niu Meiling talked about their friendship and sighed as she "confessed" to Murphy about the company's predicament for the past two years. In the end, she took out a contract to let Murphy renew, but it wasn't the contract that Murphy had originally signed.
Of course, she wasn't too unreliable. She didn't use some deceptive rookie contract to trick Mo Fei. This contract was even better than Zhen Zhen's. It could be considered as a second-tier contract, second only to the top contract. However, the term of the contract was not short. It was originally supposed to be five years, but Niu Meiling changed it to seven years!
However, Murphy didn't know why, but recently, she felt that Niu Meiling's smile was a bit fake. Murphy felt that Sister Ling was no longer as amiable as before. She was both a teacher and a friend. Instead, she felt that there was a lot of estrangement.
Although she was still reminded of the beautiful memories of the past by Niu Meiling, when she saw this contract, Mo Fei woke up and her mind was very calm.
According to what Sister Ling said, the company's operations were in trouble and needed her to share the joys and sorrows, so a second-tier contract wasn't impossible.
However, Murphy faintly felt that something was wrong.
Her contract still had nearly a year before it expired. Why was Sister Ling suddenly so anxious? Could it be that someone was preparing to poach her?
However, Sister Ling should know that she, Murphy, had always been loyal to Tian Mei!
When her platinum album successfully reached the top, there were also other major record companies who wanted to poach her and train her to become a pillar of the industry. The conditions they offered were amazing even now, but Mo Fei still chose to stay, and she immediately renewed her contract with Tianmei, which was to say, she signed a contract extension.
Murphy didn't want to think too badly of Niu Meiling. After all, Sister Ling was her talent scout, so she couldn't understand the reason behind this.
Fortunately, Murphy wasn't stupid. She was still a little smart.
When Mo Fei was in a dilemma, she did not sign the contract under Niu Meiling's persuasion. Instead, Mo Fei chose to shelve the request of renewing the contract.
That night, Murphy was not in the mood to work overtime to record songs. Instead, she called Yang Yi to pick her up. After dinner, she discussed the matter with Yang Yi.
"Why are you asking me?" Yang Yi asked in surprise.
"Can't I discuss it with you?" Murphy bit her lower lip and asked unhappily.
"Of course, I can't wait to help you." Yang Yi smiled. "But don't you usually discuss things with Xiaojuan about Tianmei?"
"If you ask Xiaojuan, she'll definitely say she doesn't want to sign a contract with Sister Ling. Xiaojuan has a lot of prejudice against Sister Ling, Jian Chuo, and the company's management. I know she's doing this for my own good, but I hope you can give me some good advice," Murphy said.
Unfortunately, Murphy didn't know that the person she asked had already been roped in by Mo Xiaojuan …
But Yang Yi didn't give Murphy a direct answer. Instead, he asked, "What do you think? Do you want to stay in Tianmei? "
Murphy hesitated for a moment. She gently nodded and said, "If the company isn't what I'm worried about, if Sister Ling and the others aren't in a bad state, I still want to stay in Tianmei. After all, they've helped me a lot before."
"Actually, you see it very clearly. You just don't want to admit it in your heart. Sister Ling is no longer the Sister Ling you knew before. And this company doesn't treat you as well as before, right?" Yang Yi smiled and said straightforwardly.
"For example, when you returned, the album they chose for you. Can't you see what kind of songs they chose for you?"
Mo Fei bit her lower lip, and her face became gloomy.
"Another example is the meeting you told me before. Mu Ziang wrote twelve songs for you. In the end, they wanted to snatch all of them …"
"They only took a large part of it, not all of it." Murphy weakly defended herself.
"You fool." Yang Yi grabbed Murphy's hand and wrapped it in his big hand. He said softly, "What's the difference between snatching a part of it or all of it? More importantly, didn't you tell me that Sister Ling didn't speak up for you, but instead advised you to compromise? "
Murphy gently nodded.
"Your Sister Ling didn't think for your own good. Then why do you still want to think for their own good? Why do you have to wrong yourself to sign a bad contract? "Yang Yi asked.
Murphy didn't feel good in her heart, but she still lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "Because I can only be considered a C- or D-list celebrity. I'm not qualified to sign a contract and the company's situation isn't good."
"Tianmei's situation is very good. At least it's not as bad as Sister Ling lied to you!" Yang Yi said firmly, "And as for whether you're qualified to sign a contract, I think your Sister Ling knows. Otherwise, she wouldn't have shamelessly come to you in advance to renew the contract. Isn't she just afraid that after your new album comes out, you'll become popular again?"
It was as if a thin film had been pierced …
Yang Yi's repeated questions completely defeated Murphy's last bit of hope in human nature, allowing her to see the truth that she didn't want to believe before.
Yang Yi's hand was tightly grasped by Murphy. She was a little hesitant. "Then what should I do? What if the company forces me to sign a contract? "
"Do you still want to stay in Tianmei?" Yang Yi asked again.
Murphy gently nodded and then shook her head.
"I don't want to leave, but I also don't want to renew the contract with Sister Ling." Murphy said. She was now very confused about her future.
"Then you can wait for the contract to end. Then we'll open our own studio and write your name." Yang Yi gently rubbed Murphy's hand and said, "Let's open it in Tingshan District and find some people to serve you. In the future, you'll live at home. I'll send Xi Xi to kindergarten and send you to work. I'll pick you up at night. You don't have to rush to commercial performances, nor do you have to rush to jobs. You just need to sing your songs, have a concert, or pick some variety shows that you like to play … "
Murphy was tempted by Yang Yi's words. She was really looking forward to this kind of life. In the past few months, she had been sitting on a plane to a strange city every day. She was very tired. Or every night, she would return to a house without her daughter and without Yang Yi by her side. She was very lonely …
The daily life that Yang Yi described to her was the life she wanted to live. She even forgot about her ties with Tianmei and Sister Ling and seriously considered this possibility.
"But, if I don't run commercial performances, how will I have money? I don't have much money left. Living abroad with Xi Xi is very expensive … I might not be able to support the studio for more than a few months. "Murphy asked worriedly.
Yang Yi was dumbfounded. Murphy really asked a question that she shouldn't be worried about.
"There's still me! Silly, you're with me. Isn't my money your money? "Yang Yi asked.
"Your money? Do you have a lot of money? " Mo Fei asked confusedly. In fact, she didn't have the intention to take care of money. Money was just a row of numbers in the bank account for her. Even after she got together with Yang Yi, she didn't even think about taking her boyfriend's bank card and holding it for him like other women.
In her impression, Yang Yi wrote novels. Perhaps he had more money than before, but he still had to run the coffee shop and raise Xi Xi. How much money could he have left?
