Chapter 13: Bargaining
"What do you want to drink, green tea, black tea, jasmine tea, or coffee, sweet and sweet."
Hearing the sound of Lin Yun coming in, Mo Ming, who was opening the refrigerator to get a drink from it, asked without looking back.
"Green tea."
"Oh, here you go, sit here."
After taking out two bottles of green tea from the refrigerator and handing one of them to Lin Yun, Mo Ming pointed to the three sofas in the living room.
"You're welcome, then."
Hearing this, Lin Yun, who took the green tea, walked to the three sofas and chose one of them to sit down.
Seeing that Lin Yun chose the sofa to sit down, Mo Ming walked to the sofa opposite him and sat down.
Time, 7:15 p.m. Location, next to the coffee table in the living room. scene, the two people sitting opposite each other, after taking a sip of the green tea in their hands, immediately talked about business.
"Mr. Lin."
"Mo Ming, don't be so polite, just call me Lin Yun."
"Okay. Lin Yun, let me first talk about my bottom line - I won't sell the copyright of Dream Return to you. I don't give the copyright to any of the songs I write, that's my principle. However, I can give you a license to use Dream Return for free in the movie. In exchange, I have to sing the song, okay? ”
"Let's not talk about copyright, you can't sing the song, this is Director Li's meaning, and it's also my idea."
"Why? Because I'm not famous? ”
"It's not about fame, with the investment and lineup of this movie, you don't need to rely on anyone's popularity at all."
"Then why don't you let me sing it."
Looking at the eagerness and resentment on Mo Ming's immature face, Lin Yun, who had been confused by Mo Ming's temperament and mature demeanor before, and treated Mo Ming as an adult, suddenly realized that the person in front of him who was bargaining with him was just a sixteen-year-old boy who was about to enter high school.
So, Lin Yun, who was going to say the reason directly, hesitated for a few seconds and said with some hesitation: "That, Mo Ming, are you sure you want me to tell you the reason." To be clear in advance, this reason may hit you, and I suggest that you still don't know as well. ”
"Sure."
It's a pity that Mo Ming didn't accept Lin Yun's kindness.
Seeing Mo Ming's insistence, Lin Yun had no choice but to sigh helplessly: "Hey, the reason is actually very simple - your singing skills are not good, if you are asked to sing, to put it more seriously, it will ruin this movie." This is something that neither I nor Director Li can accept, if you insist on singing it yourself, we would rather redo the soundtrack. ”
Hearing the reason given by Lin Yun, Mo Ming was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "If I tell you that during the live broadcast, I didn't give full play to my singing skills, would you believe it?" ”
"Mo Ming, it's not a question of believing it or not, this movie...
"Okay, I got it. In this way, facts speak louder than words, tomorrow I will go to Asuka City with you, and in front of you and Li Pingzhi, I will sing the dream again. If at that time, you still think that I can't sing, then I will return the dream back to you directly, whatever you want to go to sing it, how about it? ”
"This... All right. However, everything needs the consent of your guardian, including the authorization of the song, can you call your parents? Or are they working overtime at the company tonight and will be back later? ”
Regarding Lin Yun's request and inquiry, Mo Ming shrugged his shoulders and said very directly: "They won't come back, my parents died in a car accident half a year ago." My current guardian is my stepmother, Yuko Amaba. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yun immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
"It's fine. Let's go on - Yuko lives in Yingzhou, I'll call her later, let her know to come in the morning and go to Asuka City with us, so you don't have to worry about the guardian's side. ”
"Okay, then I'll go back tonight."
With that, Lin Yun got up and planned to leave. Seeing this, Mo Ming also got up, planning to send Lin Yun off.
"Mo Ming, it's okay to send it here, I'll come back to you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
At the entrance, Lin Yun, who had already put on high-end leather shoes, turned to Mo Ming and said.
"Well, I see, that...
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Mo Ming suddenly became slurred, Lin Yun asked a little strangely.
"Can I ask you a question? Some of these questions are privacy-related, and you can do without answering. ”
"Questions? Hehe, yes, you ask. ”
"Are you a descendant of Lin Jiye and Alice?"
"I really want to ask this question. That's right, my grandfather is the widow of Lin Jiye and Alice in the story. In other words, I am the great-grandson of both of them. How did you guess it, though. ”
"It's very simple, the chairman of the dignified Wenhua Group actually came to Yingzhou from Asuka City to look for me for the soundtrack of a movie, which is really weird. The only plausible explanation is that you care so much about the movie that you don't hesitate to do it. In addition, Wenhua Group and Wenhua Hou are both Wenhua... ”
"Okay. I have to say that your observation is really sharp, and sometimes it can even make people forget your age. So, now that your curiosity is satisfied, can I go? ”
"Of course, Lord Wenhuahou."
Saying that, Mo Ming also pretended to bend down - according to some unspoken rules, on more formal occasions, when the untitled person sees a person with a title, he generally bends down to salute as a sign of respect. However, even if you don't do it, it's nothing, after all, the era of belonging to the nobility has passed.
Seeing this, Lin Yun couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Less, my dad is not dead yet." What's more, even if my father really died, with the current situation of my family, there would not be enough merit for me to inherit the title of marquis. ”
"The earl is also a nobleman, and I am in advance...
"Okay, okay, do you have anything else? I'll leave if it's okay. ”
"It's okay, stay safe on the road."
"Hmm."
After nodding in response to Mo Ming's reminder and concern, Lin Yun turned around and left.
Two minutes later, in the underground parking lot of the apartment, Lin Yun, who came out of Mo Ming's house, joined up with several of his subordinates - after all, the chairman of a large group with assets of tens of billions, Lin Yun came out to do business, naturally he would not be alone.
However, in order to show sincerity, and also to avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings, Lin Yun did not let these subordinates go up with him before.
"Chairman, are we going back to Asuka City tonight, or are we going to stay here?"
As soon as Pu Yi converged, Lin Yun's secretary, an OL with an ordinary appearance and a capable temperament, asked in a respectful tone.
Faced with his secretary's inquiry, Lin Yun replied without hesitation: "We will stay here for one night tonight and go back tomorrow morning." ”
