Chapter 098 Antenna Music's Decision
Listening to the various curses and scoldings coming from his ears, Zheng Xiuheng's resentment from being spit on last night finally dissipated. At the same time, he found that he somewhat liked hearing this noisy sound. It would be even better if it wasn't scolding himself, so that the room would feel a little lively.
Lee Hyo-ri was so angry that she cursed for a long time, then sat down to catch her breath and prepare for a halftime break. At this time, Zheng Xiuheng had finished his fried rice, raised his head and said seriously: "I will have someone teach Lee Haoyan a lesson, it won't be too much, you don't have to worry, and you are too naive, you can find an excuse to beat him up by just finding someone to bump into him. Even if you are caught by the police, it is questionable whether it will constitute a criminal offense!"
"Yes, I am innocent, and you are filthy!"
Zheng Xiuheng looked at the still angry Lee Hyo-ri and nodded with a smile: "You are right, but your idea is not because of the expiration of the contract, right? I see a lot of news about you on the Internet recently."
Both of them were wearing black sweaters, as if they were couple outfits. If Lee Hyori hadn't obviously looked at her enemy, the scene would have been much more beautiful.
Knowing that she was fooled by Jung Soo-heng again and it was a foregone conclusion, Lee Hyo-ri was angry for a while but then she calmed down. However, when she heard what Jung Soo-heng said, she was a little surprised but also a little moved. Then she agreed and simply didn't reply.
When Zheng Xiuheng asked a new question, Lee Hyo-ri regained her unhappy expression and said, "What does this have to do with you? I don't need to report to you, right? Since you have already promised me, you can handle this matter as you wish. However, you are not allowed to be too violent!"
After saying that, Lee Hyori stood up, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is my phone?"
All the clothes and pants were washed by Zheng Xiuheng. Lee Hyori was about to call her assistant, but when she touched her pocket, she found that they were Zheng Xiuheng's pants.
Zheng Xiuheng pointed to the Samsung phone on the coffee table and replied, "That's it, but it's broken!"
"broken?"
"Well, you answered the phone and threw it up into the air, and then it snapped and it broke!"
Lee Hyo-ri blushed a little, but she still sat down directly, stretched out her right hand to Zheng Xiuheng and said, "Your phone!"
"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk more!" Zheng Xiuheng showed a very friendly smile, which made Lee Hyo-ri tremble a little. She felt that she was hallucinating. This bastard with a cold face, a cold heart and cold blood could actually smile so brightly. Was she drunk again?
"What do we have to talk about? It's good enough that I didn't call the police to arrest you!"
"There are a lot of things we can talk about, such as where you plan to go after your contract ends. I don't think you will stay at DSP!" Zheng Xiuheng seemed to be on a different wavelength from Lee Hyori, and talked to himself, but after he said this, Lee Hyori's expression changed.
Lady Lee Hyori, who had always been heroic and domineering, suddenly frowned with a very cold expression, and looked at Zheng Xiuheng with some contempt.
"You're not... thinking of signing me or something, are you? Are you in the entertainment industry too?" Lee Hyori doesn't hate people talking to her about business or work, but she doesn't like people with whom she has a special relationship to talk to her about this.
The special relationship does not refer to love, but the complicated entanglement between herself and Zheng Xiuheng. She seemed to think of the situation when Zheng Xiuheng threatened her.
Zheng Xiuheng could clearly see the contempt in Lee Hyori's eyes, but he didn't care. Although Lee Hyori seemed to have a bad temper, except for a few special conversations, no matter how bad her temper was, she never looked at others with contempt.
Zheng Xiuheng probably knew what she was thinking, and said directly without explaining: "Of course I want to sign you, but I don't have the ability to do so. You know, I haven't even started my own company yet, and I'm all alone, so how could I possibly want to sign you!"
Lee Hyo-ri's eyes softened when she heard this. Seeing that Jung Soo-hyung was serious, she continued to reply, "So what do you want to say?"
"With your current status and popularity in the entertainment industry, have you ever thought about starting your own business?"
"Ah? Starting a business?"
"invest?"
"One billion?"
"Does Xiuheng have so much money?" Zheng Zaixing, who wore glasses and looked very artistic, asked curiously.
Liu Xilie, who was sitting on the sofa in the production room, nodded and said, "It should be true, and there is no need for him to lie to us!"
A middle-aged man with slightly messy hair and a thin face was thinking seriously.
Liu Xilie and Zheng Zaixing looked at each other, and then Liu Xilie gave Zheng Zaixing a look. Zheng Zaixing pointed at himself with his eyes wide open. Liu Xilie nodded, saying, "You go!"
Zheng Zaixing sighed helplessly. To be precise, this company belonged to the three people in the room. However, because the profits were not very good, the company's earnings, in addition to normal expenses, such as equipment maintenance, the salaries of several clerks, and working capital prepared for planning, such as releasing albums, basically had no money left. Of course, although they could not get much money, they still had a lot of income from their personal work.
For example, when Jung Dong-in composed music for a movie, he did it with the Antenna Music team. After the income was paid to Antenna, everyone would be paid what they deserved. People like Yoo Hee-yeol and Jung Jae-hyung can also make money by writing songs for others, and Yoo Hee-yeol also has some announcements, which are naturally income, but these are personal income.
"Brother Dongren, I don't think it's a bad thing for Xiuheng to invest. I agree with Xilie's opinion. This investment will benefit us in every way, but it will be full of risks for Xiuheng. I think why don't we talk to Xiuheng and ask him to reduce the investment amount and tie him to the company first?"
Zheng Zaixing's idea was good, and Yoo Hee-yeol nodded repeatedly. Compared to investment or something, the two cared more about Zheng Xiuheng's music, and they had to find a way to get him back on the right track.
Zheng Dongren raised his head and scratched his hair, then shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "That guy won't agree. I talked about him when Xiaole and I were chatting. Li Xiaole said that he is a very strong-willed and stubborn guy, but this cannot be considered his shortcoming, because in addition to these two characteristics, there are two other prerequisites, which are intelligence and rationality!"
"So now that he has said it, it's no joke if he wants to develop in the entertainment industry. And since he said he wants to give up music, it's definitely not that easy to make him give up this idea!"
"Then what should we do?" Liu Xilie said helplessly. In fact, he also knew some of Zheng Xiuheng's character.
In addition to being strong, smart, and rational, he is also a very independent person. He will not accept other people's kindness casually. Even if he accepts your help, he will find a way to repay the other party. Liu Xiye and others have helped Zheng Xiuheng a lot, but Zheng Xiuheng basically paid back what he owed at Antenna Music.
And Zheng Xiuheng seems to like being alone and likes quiet places...
It's just that Yoo Hee-yeol and Jung Dong-in didn't know, and Li Xiaole, who also passed away, didn't know either, but in their eyes, Zheng Xiuheng's stubbornness was reflected in his crazy part-time job. Especially after working all night, he would continue to work in the club the next day, and he could do this for several days in a row, and just find time to sleep for an hour or two in between. This can be said to be a will and character that is beyond the level of tenacity, and has reached the point of being stubborn. Simply put, it's as if he carries everything on his shoulders.
But they didn't know Zheng Xiuheng's story or his past. Zheng Xiuheng did this entirely based on what his body could bear.
Of course there are inaccurate understandings and there are accurate understandings, just like Zheng Xiuheng’s stubbornness.
Zheng Dongren was silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Promise him. Antenna Music doesn't have much commercial value anyway, so just treat it as the beginning of a real business . You have seen the development of the circle now. Our workload for film music is getting smaller and smaller, and there are more and more powerful people. If we continue like this, the company will not be competitive, and we can only make music for some programs and shoot music videos. We are all in our thirties and forties. Although it's okay to muddle through like this, I don't want to really go on like this..."
Jung Dong-in's words shocked both Yoo Hee-yeol and Jung Jae-hyung. There is no doubt that the three members of Antenna Music are all excellent musicians and have high aspirations for music, but at the same time they are also human beings. It is a good thing to have aspirations and be able to persist, but all of this cannot deviate from life.
Looking at the silent Yoo Hee-yeol and Jung Jae-hyung, Jung Dong-in scratched his hair again and showed a gentle uncle smile.
"Don't be too depressed. I actually believe in Xiuheng. He always says that he is just interested in music. Although what he said is true, you have all seen how he plays the piano. He really likes it from the bottom of his heart. Every time he plays, he devotes himself to it and his fingers dance lightly. This is not something that can be achieved by just interest!"
"So, even if he doesn't enter this industry, I believe that one day, he will still sit in front of the piano and play a piece of music, maybe when he is in his seventies or eighties, or maybe next week. But if he enters the entertainment industry, we can give him some guidance in his work, and I believe the chances are still great!"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" Liu Xilie clapped his hands and shouted excitedly. If it was true love, it couldn't be given up with just a word or a decision. As long as he proceeded step by step, he would be able to untie the shackles in his heart.
As for the company...to be honest, none of the three of them care much about it. After all, apart from Yoo Hee-yeol, there are no other artists in the company now.
