Chapter 53: Negotiations

At the Royal Tea House, in an upscale VIP room...

At this time Cao Feifei was preparing tea.

Opposite to Cao Feifei, sat a stunning young woman. Although the woman's face was accompanied by a pair of large sunglasses, it was not difficult to recognise her...

It was none other than Wang Jingwen.

At this point, the two women had been negotiating for an hour.

In order to achieve her own goals and for the benefit of the company, Cao Feifei, who had always kept a higher than thou attitude, put on a humble face for the first time. She not only voluntarily called Wang Jingwen for a meeting, but also personally poured tea for her, completely treating Wang Jingwen as a VIP.

Someone walked in from the other side, quietly went to Cao Feifei and whispered: "General Manager Cao, I've already completed the task."

Yes, this person was Zhu Yuncai.

As for why Zhu Yuncai knew the 13 songs, it was naturally because of Wang Jingwen's mouth. Wang Jingwen told Cao Feifei about it with the purpose of showing off, and to gain more chips for bargaining.

Cao Feifei smiled and laughed out loud, she was very proud of herself. He was actually made to lose 5 million...

"Hahaha, you actually want to fight against this lady. you're still too tender." Cao Feifei boasted in her heart and turned to Zhu Yuncai: "When I return. I'll have the business department hand over the company's advertising design for this quarter to your company. You go back first. I still have something to talk about with Miss Wang."

Zhu Yuncai was very grateful for her grace and quietly left the private room.

In a good mood, Cao Feifei slowly lifted her eyes and smiled at Wang Jingwen as she said, "With Miss Wang's current status, it is too condescending for you to stay at such a humble company. Of course, a big star like Ms. Wang should join our New Century Entertainment, I think this would be a good deal for both of us. What do you say?"

Wang Jingwen placed on a blank expression, but she felt what she said was correct, relying on her current status and fame, her staying at HuaXiang was a waste.

New Century Entertainment however...

As an industry giant, New Century Entertainment had a solid foundation and long-standing reputation, and had a full range of industrial connections. Its influence was all over Huaxia and even had a certain status in the international community. It also had cooperations with many well-known media companies at home and abroad..

The most important thing was that now everyone knew that they had the backing of Jinsheng Group. Both of these two big companies in the country had long spread word of their matchmaking. Their combination made them a solid rock, it couldn't be compared to a little broken company like HuaXiang Entertainment.

If someone had to choose between the two, unless it was a fool, he would always choose New Century Entertainment.

But although she was eager to join them, Wang Jingwen did not express any feelings. After all, she used to be a signed singer of New Century Entertainment, but was abandoned by them before.

Now that she was popular, they came back for her.

Even if she wanted to join them, she must have good conditions. At least, New Century Entertainment must realise that she wasn't the same third-rate singer who they fired last time.

Thinking this, Wang Jingwen sneered and said, "General manager mustn't forget two years ago, I was your contracted singer but since your company was not optimistic about me, you took the initiative to withdraw my contract. Do you Caos think that I am a ball that can be kicked and kicked around?"

Cao Feifei understood the meaning of Wang Jingwen, so she quickly smiled and laughed: "Miss Wang has misunderstood me. When the company fired you, it was not our Cao family, but the Zhang family, Zhang Xiaohua's father to be precise. Actually, in our eyes, we felt that our company had lost a heavyweight singer, Miss Wang. However, I don't think Miss Wang knows, but the agent and related staff have all been expelled by me. If even talented people like Miss Wang can be fired away, those people are just useless."

Speaking of this, Cao Feifei took out a small box from her bag and put a exquisite wrapped gift box on the table. She gently placed it in front of Wang Jingwen and laughed, "Even though it's not much, but in order to express our company's apology and sincerity towards Miss Wang, this is a gift I prepared to Miss Wang on behalf of the company. I ask Miss Wang to accept it."

Wang Jingwen picked up the small box and weighed it in her hand. Feeling it was very light, she could not help but chuckle. It was so light. What could be installed inside?

But she still couldn't help but get curios. When she opened the box, she was surprised at the sight before her eyes. "This is... this is Ferrari's car key?"

Cao Feifei smiled, lightly adding: "Exactly, this is a new Ferrari Portofino sports car, worth 10 million yuan. Currently the car is parked in the opposite parking lot for when Miss Wang is ready. I think this should be enough to prove our company's sincerity to Miss Wang?"

Wang Jingwen was secretly astonished by the gift, they truly deserved to be called a big company with such strength. One could imagine that if she moved to New Century Entertainment, then she would surely be treated with the highest level of care. It would also possible to become a world-class superstar by entering the international arena.

It was too tempting!

Although she very excited, but in Wang Jingwen's view, her current worth wasn't only 10 million, this gift was not enough to completely impress her.

Cao Feifei was also prepared. Not to mention that Cao Dequan had already expressed how vital getting this girl was. Wang Jingwen should be recruited no matter the price. In this case, Cao Feifei would naturally not be stingy:

"If Miss Wang joins us, we will give Ms. Wang a tailor made movie, with the best screenwriter, best director, and of course, before this, we will hold a special live concert for Miss Wang. The venue of the concert will be Tianjing Theater. As for the sharing ratio, fifty percent for both parties, and our company will also give Miss Wang a bonus of 5 million each month. Miss Wang is a smart person, so I think Miss Wang will not refuse these conditions. Right?"

Hearing up to here, Wang Jingwen finally could not hold it.

Not to mention that the other party would create a movie tailored for her. It was very tempting to perform at [Tianjing Theater].

[Tianjing Theater] was the largest and most luxurious opera house in Tianjing City, enough to accommodate 15,000 spectators, known as the Oriental Hall of Fame, and not everyone could open a concert in the Tianjing Theatre. Even if it was a high-profile international star, it must be booked in advance for a long time. If there was no connections with those in powerful places, not even mainland singers could get in. It was one of the performance venues that all singers were longing for, it was a symbol of a singer's strength and status!

Originally, Wang Jingwen had looked forward to the concert arranged by Zhang Xiaohua, but at this time, under the temptation of the Tianjing Theatre, her little expectations were gone.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that the concert that Zhang Xiaohua had prepared for her was more than a hundred times more luxurious than the concert prepared for her by New Century. Regardless of the venue selection or the number of seats.

Unfortunately, Wang Jingwen was blind and was destined miss the opportunity.

"Yes, but I still have two conditions." Wang Jingwen said suddenly.

Cao Feifei picked up a cup of tea and blew it gently. Then she took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder what the conditions are."

"I and HuaXiang Entertainment have a termination fee, you must cover it. In addition, I want to join New Century Entertainment with a massive scene. Therefore, the joining ceremony must be done in a big way and we must let all the media know." Wang Jingwen immediately spoke up. As a big star in her current position, she was fully qualified to submit conditions, of course.

"Not a problem. This contract settlement fee will come from our company. As for making the joining ceremony a big fanfare, this is naturally a must. Even if Miss Wang didn't say it, our company would do so, it's such a happy event." Feifei put down her teacup and said seriously: "But I also have a condition."

Wang Jingwen was slightly surprised: "What condition?"

"I want Zhang Xiaohua's lyrics and music scores for those 13 songs. Such a simple condition, I think it should not be a problem for Miss Wang, right?" Cao Feifei said seriously, yet she was sneering in her heart.

Wang Jingwen revealed a shrewd smile. She didn't need to ask the reason, she also knew what New Century was trying to do. Before they published it, they would edit a few sections then have it registered as their own work.

That way, if Zhang Xiaohua later published it they would sue him, but even if he had it already copyrighted, the slight changes would ensure they could release their versions without needing to worry, plus even if he sued them, all the better, they could suppress his claims with their connections and drag it out, making him spend a fortune in lawyer costs. That would also give them to have a good reason to run a smear campaign against him.

Wang Jingwen slowly lifted the cup of tea and took a sip. Since New Century had already created such favourable conditions for her, what reason did she still have for refusing them?

Placing the cup down, Wang Jingwen smirked and nodded her head.

Cao Feifei then raised her teacup as Wang Jingwen raised hers, they clinked cups and continued to enjoy their tea...
