He said he doesn't love me

February 6th was a sunny day.

Sun Ran sorted out a pile of documents and asked Aijie Luo to take him to see the owner of the Qile Band.

"The internal relationships in that band are quite complicated. Are you sure?" When Aijero heard that he wanted to recruit Qi Le, he immediately sat up straight and asked.

Sun Ran blinked his eyes. "They have a complicated relationship. What does it have to do with my recruiting them?"

Ai Jie Luo was stunned by his question. After thinking for a long time, he finally picked up what he was going to say, "Their band is under Lan Yu's command, and now the lead singer of the Qile band is a couple with the boss. The lead singer is leaving, and the boss is thinking about giving the band to someone else. Look, the boss was replaced yesterday."

Sun Ran was stunned. "No, do you know who it was?"

Ai Jie Luo shook his head. "It hasn't been officially announced yet, so I'm not sure. Their band's official blog hasn't made a statement yet, so they're probably still discussing the ownership of the band."

"Then why are their internal relations in chaos?"

"The drummer likes the lead singer, and the bassist likes the drummer. Isn't this a mess? Once the lead singer and bassist leave, the fans will definitely be dissatisfied. The boss has changed again, and the treatment may not be the same as before. It's not certain whether this band can continue." Ai Jie Luo patted Sun Ran's hand. "If you want to buy a band, there are plenty of them. This band has no future and will only be a waste of money."

Sun Ran thought about it and retracted his hand, "Father, I want to meet the lead singer."

"Why did you see him? The matter has been settled. It is not up to you alone to decide." Ai Jie Luo looked at him, "Father knows that you don't want to see them disband, but..."

Sun Ran curled his lips and said, "Anyway, just help me make an appointment with him. I know what to do."

"Okay, okay, I'll make an appointment for you." Aijieluo sighed and made a phone call to make arrangements. When the people from Lanyu heard that it was the young master of the Castei family who wanted to meet, they immediately agreed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Ran met the lead singer again in the cafe.

The person who came took off the light makeup he wore for the performance. He was very handsome. His amber eyes stared at Sun Ran with a bright smile on his face.

"On my way here, I was wondering why the young master of the Castei family would suddenly ask me out. It turned out to be you."

Sun Ran looked at him and smiled at him, "Hello, my name is Sun Ran, nice to meet you."

"Hello, I'm Jin Anyang, the current lead singer of the Qile band." Jin Anyang shook hands with him and sat down.

"I don't know why the young master wants to see me?"

Sun Ran took out a document from his bag and handed it to him, "I heard you guys are going to change your boss, is it confirmed?"

Jin Anyang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "We are still negotiating. The other party is unwilling to treat my players with the current treatment, saying that a band without a lead singer is not eligible to bargain... We just had a quarrel, and it seems that it is over."

He opened the document and read it quickly. Suddenly, he looked up at Sun Ran and said, "You...you want to buy our band?"

Sun Ran nodded. "To be honest, the lead singer of Qile Band when it was first established was my mother, so I want to keep the band and let it continue to shine."

Jin Anyang looked at him and thought for a long time about the previous lead singers, but couldn't remember who he was.

Sun Ran handed him another document, which was a document for continuing the contract.

"I bought the band because I want to continue to develop it under the name of Qi Le. If you and the other person want to stay, you can retreat behind the scenes. I have a professional team here, but we are short of people. I can't guarantee you the salary for the time being. After all, if you change people, your fans will definitely not buy it, so the salary may be worse at the beginning."

Jin Anyang looked at the document, which was no different from what they were signing now. After winning the prize, the dividends for the few people would also be split 30% and 70% with the company, but the difference was that they would get 70%.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sun Ran continued, "You just said that the new boss is not satisfied with the treatment you requested, and now you are in a hurry to sell it. Why don't you cooperate with me? You don't have to leave, you can continue to stay in Qile. I promise you that if we win the competition next year, I will let you go on stage to receive the award together."

"But... why? We don't know each other..." Jin Anyang put down the document, "Master, are you kidding? If the fans the band lost don't come back, this is a business that will inevitably lose money."

Sun Ran pointed at his chest and said, "You like music and love the stage. You shouldn't leave here for a man. Jin Anyang, do you still remember what you promised your fans when you became the lead singer?"

Jin Anyang felt sad when he heard this, and his eyes became moist and misty.

"You said that you stood on the stage because you loved it. If one day you left, it could only be because you no longer loved it."

Jin Anyang raised his hand and rubbed his sour eyes, "I...I remember...but...but Master...you won't understand"

Sun Ran sighed, "I really don't understand why you have to choose between career and love? If even he can't truly support you and your dreams, who else will stand behind you unconditionally?"

Jin Anyang said nothing, just shook his head gently.

"I'm just telling you, whether you agree or not, the result will be the same. It's better to give it to me than to someone else. At least I can give you a chance to return to the stage. What about him? He likes you, invests in you and gives you connections. Now he's making a lot of money but he wants you to give up your career and go with him. Why?" Sun Ran turned his head and looked into the distance. After a long while, he murmured, "Jin Anyang, no one can make you give up except yourself."

"I'm not doing this for him... Master, I really don't like it anymore and don't want to continue." Jin Anyang thought for a long time, closed his eyes and relaxed for a long time, then smiled at him, "Master, maybe in your eyes, you despise us especially. Do you understand what it means that the company takes 70% of the money every time? We have to share the rest among the four of us, and we don't get much. Let alone chasing our dreams, it's already difficult to save something throughout the year."

"We are not like you, who are born at the top of the pyramid and can make millions with a wave of the hand. We are really tired. At the beginning, we really like it and love it, but what happens over time? The more we earn, the less we get..." Jin Anyang was silent for a long time, "Master, you'd better not buy Qile. Without people, Qile is a bottomless pit that is destined to lose money and will make you lose everything."

Sun Ran smiled faintly, "We haven't even started yet, are you sure you're going to lose everything?"

Jin Anyang was confused. Without a lead singer and a bassist, even if Sun Ran could take over, that would still be one person missing, right?

Even if there are enough people, will the fans easily accept their replacement?

If the new song is released and no one is interested in it, wouldn’t that mean we would lose all our money?

"What do you mean?"

"Jin Anyang, you seem to underestimate the value of Qile. This band was founded thirty years ago. During this period, it has changed lead singers four times and owners eight times. It was not until you came here that the number of fans gradually increased. I admit that this is true. But thirty-six percent of your fans are fans who have followed the band since it appeared thirty years ago until now." Sun Ran stared at him intently.

"These people have been following Qile for thirty years. Even if the new fans are gone, they will still be there. Why do you insist that they will lose all their money?"

Jin Anyang frowned when he heard this. He had always thought that those fans were new, but he didn't expect that some of them had existed for thirty years.

"That's only 36 percent, isn't it?"

Sun Ran laughed as if he had heard a joke, holding his stomach. "Is 36% a very small number? Jin Anyang, don't be so funny. If you have 30 million fans, think about how many people there are in 36%?"

"I……"

"Don't belittle yourselves, you are great. At least the fame of Qi Le in your hands has surpassed all the previous ones, but..." Sun Ran said seriously, "Don't take yourself too seriously, you are a musician, fans are not important, what is important is the fans. Fans will love your face and your image, but the people who truly love you only love you, your voice, and your attitude and love for this music."

Sun Ran collected the documents and put them into a small bag. "Okay, that's all I have to say. As for whether you want to stay and continue walking with Qi Le, it's your own choice."

He controlled the wheelchair to leave, but Jin Anyang stood up and stood in front of him, "I want to stay, I don't want to leave Qile, please let me stay."

Seeing his serious expression, Sun Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't want to chase you away. Your voice is very nice and I like it. I want to go find your boss. Do you want to go?"

Jin Anyang shook his head, "You...it would be better if you take someone with you."

Sun Ran tilted his head, puzzled, "Why?"

"Well...he...likes your type. It would be safer if you bring someone with you." Jin Anyang looked away awkwardly. Sun Ran was stunned for a second and then reacted instantly.

"Isn't he your partner?"

Jin Anyang's eyes widened and he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, we have already broken up. He always wanted me to go with him, but I didn't want to, so we broke up. Now that I want to leave on my own initiative, he wants me to go with him just to get rid of the band."

"Oh... then why did you leave? I thought you gave up the band for him." Sun Ran suddenly realized, "Then why didn't you refute me when I said that just now?"

Jin Anyang opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it again.

Sun Ran raised his eyebrows, didn't ask any more questions, said goodbye to him and left.

Jin Anyang thought about it and decided to follow him.

When Sun Ran arrived at the agreed location, he saw a man in a black suit sitting there, typing leisurely on the keyboard.

"Hello, are you Lanyu's boss?" Sun Ran asked. The man paused and moved his eyes from the computer screen to Sun Ran's face.

How could it be him?

The man was slightly stunned. Sun Ran asked again, and he nodded. "Hello, you must be Master Zuo En, right? I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered a cup of hot milk."

Sun Ran smiled at him, "Thank you, sir. I just talked to Mr. Jin Anyang. He has no objection to the band's transfer. So should we discuss cooperation directly?"

The man nodded. "Sure. This morning a boss said he wanted to recruit the band, but our discussion was not very pleasant."

Sun Ran took out the document, took out the seal and pen, and handed them to the man. "I heard from Mr. Jin that for the subsequent development of the band, I am thinking about participating in the debut competition. If there is a chance, I will be able to lead Qile to create greater glory."

The man looked at the document, signed his name and stamped it with his own seal. The document was made in duplicate, one for each party.

Seeing him sign the document without asking any questions, Sun Ran couldn't help but wonder, is it really because he made too much money? He just bought it without asking any questions?

He curled his lips. Ai Jie Luo also said that the other party would ask many strange questions. What happened? That's it?

"Then young master, please transfer the money this way. From today on, the Qile band is no longer a band under Lan Yu. I wonder what you are going to name your band?" The man put the documents away and handed Sun Ran a bank card.

Ten million was used to buy the entire Qile, which also included the musical instruments of the four team members. Sun Ran transferred the money immediately.

"The name remains unchanged, still Qi Le. Qi Le has been around for a long time, and I guess people won't be used to it if it's suddenly changed." Sun Ran showed him the transfer record, the man nodded, got up and left.

He left so suddenly that Sun Ran was stunned.
