Kapitel 24: Chapter 22 A Meal's Thank You Gift_1

The next day when he returned to the company, there were more voices greeting Lin Yuan in the department.

"Good morning."

After responding to the greetings, Lin Yuan found Wu Yong and asked him a question, "Does the tenth floor have fourteen ace composers?"

"Yes, indeed."

Wu Yong laughed, "The ace producers are all master composers. Your schoolmate Ol' Zheng is one of them, the senior colleague who sat next to you during the last meeting."

"Do the aces have higher salaries?"

This was the key issue that Lin Yuan wanted to ask.

Wu Yong nodded, "Of course, the salaries of ace composers are definitely higher than ours. They have a base wage of thirty thousand yuan per month, but aces usually don't pay much attention to their base salary."

Lin Yuan said, "But I would."

Wu Yong chuckled, "Then strive to be an ace. But the greatest advantage of being an ace is not the basic salary. What makes an ace truly powerful is their ability to negotiate with the company and acquire a higher share of the production proceeds."

A higher share of the proceeds?

Lin Yuan asked, "What is the standard for being an ace?"

"Hey, ace is our private nickname. Although it sounds a bit childish, calling it this way makes it seem cool, just like the Maestro. In reality, the company's ace composers have a specific title called Senior Composers, which is higher than our title of Composers. The company's standard for assigning the title of Senior Composer is to have at least five representative works breaking the million downloads threshold."

Lin Yuan nodded in understanding.

Wu Yong patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, "I just looked at the download volume of 'Life Like A Summer Flower'. Today it has reached almost six hundred thousand, so it is not a problem for it to break the million mark in the future. I wonder whether your customized tune for Qi Continent has the potential to break the million downloads... it's hard to say. Because these customized impression tunes are often restricted by the style of the original work and easily become niche pieces. The downloads of niche works are definitely not that impressive, so don't hold your hopes too high. But the share from this commission is considerable, so you will definitely make a fortune here."

"Hmm."

Lin Yuan considered his words thoughtfully.

Wu Yong sighed, "Don't think too far ahead. After all, you've just joined the company and already achieved two remarkable successes. In the future, you still have a very good chance of becoming a Senior Composer. By then, you will be the fifteenth ace on the tenth floor."

"Hmm."

Lin Yuan felt he needs to speed up his song release schedule. Only by becoming a Senior Composer, or so-called ace, can he earn more money.

With this thought,

Lin Yuan asked Wu Yong again, "Can anyone take the orders on the tenth floor, as happened this time?"

"No."

Wu Yong replied, "The orders are allocated by the boss. Aces get priority and allocations are made in turn, so it won't always be the same ace receiving orders. This ensures opportunities for everyone. Only when an ace fails to complete the order, will it be passed on to another ace. The order for 'Dragon Fish Dance' had very strict requirements, so all fourteen of our aces failed, so Ol' Zhou decided to open it up to the entire department. This rarely happens. On average, about every five aces will have inevitably completed an order, given that our company's aces have comparatively strong business capabilities."

"What about Maestro?"

"Let's not discuss the other floors. On our tenth floor, we only have one Maestro. You've never seen him because the Maestro only comes into the company a few times a year. However, Maestro isn't short of orders. Unless the offering party nearly offers ten million, they won't even consider it."

"Oh,"

Lin Yuan gradually understood more about the company.

He was a newcomer who just joined the company. There were many things that he needed others to point out. This was why the supervisor asked Ol' Wu to guide Lin Yuan.

...

At noon.

The people from the composing department went to the canteen for their meal, one after another.

Lin Yuan, who was left broke by coffee, thought for a moment and decided to mooch a meal off someone. He had already selected the person.

Sun Yaohuo!

Sun Yaohuo made his name from the New Talent Chart, and he was very grateful to Lin Yuan. He had offered more than once to treat Lin Yuan to a meal, but Lin Yuan had always been too busy.

Seizing the opportunity today, he could now have this meal.

However, when Lin Yuan arrived at the artist department on the eighth floor, he found out that Sun Yaohuo was not in the company today because of a work meeting.

Just as he was going to leave, a familiar voice stopped him, "Lin Yuan."

"Ms. Zhao?"

When Lin Yuan turned his head, he found Zhao Jue standing there.

Zhao Jue laughed softly, "I didn't expect it to be you. Are you here looking for someone?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "Yes, but Sun Yaohuo isn't here."

Zhao Jue said, "He's out, and you haven't had lunch yet, have you? If you have no plans, come eat with me. I'll introduce you to the food in the senior staff canteen."

Lin Yuan was worried, "Is the senior staff canteen very expensive?"

Zhao Jue couldn't help but laugh, "Are you a guest eating with Ms. Zhao and still worrying about spending money? Come on, I'm treating you."

"Thank you, Ms. Zhao!"

Lin Yuan was somewhat grateful.

The senior staff canteen was different from the employee canteen. It was a quieter place to eat, and there were fewer people. There were several empty tables around Lin Yuan. Most of the dishes here were made-to-order. The senior staff would usually order their food in advance and then come to eat when the chef had prepared them at noon.

"I often can't finish eating alone."

Zhao Jue pointed at the four dishes on the table, "It's great that you're here. You can help me finish it. If it's not enough, I'll have them make more."

"It's enough."

Lin Yuan was not a greedy person.

After taking the first bite, he instantly understood why this was called a senior staff canteen.

Because the taste here was considerably better than the employee's canteen, and it was almost similar to the restaurant they went to that day with the ice cream buffet. The impressive employee's canteen in Lin Yuan's mind was suddenly overshadowed.
