Ji Yao and Tan Qing were very fast, and it took less than 10 minutes to reach EAST.They went straight to the meeting room and pushed open the door. The dull low air pressure inside accompanied the songs in the album that were playing softly engulfed their emotions.

Ji Yao had a stinky face, and it could be seen that he was holding back his anger, Tan Qing should have comforted her; while Tan Qing was also frowning, with bewilderment and bewilderment in her eyes, and of course, irritability.

"What's going on?" Tan Qing looked at Zheng Yunhao and asked.

"Just like what I said on the phone, more than half of the ten songs have been stolen, and the publisher is an Internet singer. Even if we sue through formal channels, there will be no satisfactory results." Zheng Yunhao explained calmly. The status quo, "So Ji Yao, are you sure you haven't shown your song to others? Even if you have heard a demo for others?"

"No." The anger in Ji Yao's eyes could not be concealed at all, "Even my parents listened through the door. When I wrote these songs..." Ji Yao turned his head away and said unnaturally, "Then When he just went to the police academy, I didn’t see him once in half a year. During those days, I just locked myself in my room and didn’t want to go to school, but I always thought of him when I had nothing to do. That’s why I came up with those songs. "

Jin Zaizhong suddenly remembered that when he heard the song for the first time, there was indeed a kind of sadness and a touch of despair in it.

"Actually..." Tan Qing hesitated to speak, "In fact, there is a poem written by Ji Yao himself. The lyrics he found and written at the beginning were also very good, but Ji Yao felt that it was not in place, so after discussing the poem "Idon`tcare" was composed by Ji Yao himself."

Jung Yunho clicked on the playlist, found "Idon`tcare", and chose to play it.

With a sentimental voice in his cold voice, Ji Yao slowly sang, "Why do you care about what others say, why care about the color of other people's glasses, you always say that I am too obsessed, and always want to split 'us' into 'you' And me'……"

The lyrics are simple yet direct...

"You show me that shameless song." Ji Yao said with a sulky face, then took the notebook that Zheng Yunhao pushed over and clicked on the list to listen to it one by one.

Ji Yao listened to half of each song, and when he finished listening to the list, he closed the computer with a "snap", and then looked at Zheng Yunhao angrily.

"I'm giving you my hard work, what's the matter now?" Ji Yao was so annoyed after hearing the messy words that he filled in the song probably because he wanted to release it before him.

"What the hell are these things, huh?" Ji Yao viciously grabbed Tan Qing's collar, "Did you persuade me that as long as I worked hard, bandits Wu would look at me with admiration, did you say that? ? Ah? Now! I restrained myself, I worked hard, but what happened? My things were snatched away by others, and we can only suffer from being dumb here?"

"Ji Yao!" Zheng Yunhao stopped Ji Yao, with a hint of amusement in his tone, "Who told you that you will be rewarded if you pay? According to your logic, those who are not good but you have beaten and bumped people , what is wrong with them?"

Ji Yao patted the table and said angrily: "Why do they steal my things like this? This is an infringement, and this is against the law!" If there were media present and heard the word "breaking the law" from Ji Yao's mouth, they would definitely be shocked. Thinking that he was hallucinating, "Who the hell? The singing is so fucking awful. Find him and see if I don't kill him."

"Ji Yao, let me tell you the truth." Zheng Yunhao's expression was serious, but there was no doubt about it, "Actually, I didn't expect this album to be successfully produced at all."

Hearing this, Ji Yao kicked down the chair beside him and walked in front of Zheng Yunhao: "What do you mean? You gave my song to someone else?"

"Can you have some brains?" Shen Changmin pulled Ji Yao over, "If he leaked it, why would he be so desperate to make an MV for you? Do you have any brains?"

Ji Yao and Shen Changmin didn't like each other originally, Shen Changmin would scold him for this, Ji Yao was even annoyed, just as he was about to make a move, Zheng Yunhao stopped him.

"Now is not the time to fight, Ji Yao, listen to me." Zheng Yunhao explained, "The reason why I said that I don't have too many expectations for this album is because you are not mature enough. I imagined many unexpected situations , Including yourself not cooperating, the staff is not in place, our lack of experience may cause omissions, etc., so I basically find your acquaintances for your albums, and produce them at a low cost, so even if we fail in the end, we still have the capital to recover. At the beginning, I planned this way, but in fact, the various divisions of labor have been completed unexpectedly well."

Listening to Zheng Yunhao telling the truth, Ji Yao felt angry and wronged.Because I obviously devoted myself to this album with unprecedented seriousness and 100% enthusiasm, but the producer didn't have too good expectations.

"Ji Yao, you have to face the reality. Because of your countless criminal records, as one of the employees of EAST, the first thing I think about is how to maximize the benefits. When I can't be sure whether the benefits are available, I also need to know the damage. How the smallest." Zheng Yunhao looked at Ji Yao with a complicated expression, and tried to comfort him, "Besides, I have no experience in music production and distribution, so I must be mentally prepared for the worst. Now is actually the worst result , but this reason is not acceptable to us.”

Tan Qing quietly walked to Ji Yao's side. To be honest, based on his understanding of Ji Yao, Ji Yao must be on the verge of losing his temper. If he really wants to vent his negative emotions like before, Tan Qing thinks Everyone present may not be able to stop Ji Yao.

Ji Yao slowly raised his hand, Shen Changmin stood vigilantly between Zheng Yunhao and Ji Yao, Kim Jaejoong also walked to the other side of Zheng Yunhao, of course, they were not for demonstration, they were just worried that Ji Yao would lose control and wanted to stop it in time.

However, Ji Yao just raised his arm, put it on his head, grabbed his hair, and squatted down slowly.

"Is this the retribution of my lawlessness before? Heh~" Ji Yao lowered his head, no one could see his expression at the moment, but he could hear a strong self-mockery from his tone.

The EAST trio looked at each other.What Zheng Yunhao said is true, they were indeed prepared for the futility of this album, and they didn't expect that they and Ji Yao could get anything from this album, but they didn't expect it to be this way. In all fairness, this It really discourages people's enthusiasm.

"Ji Yao..." Jin Zaizhong's voice sounded pitiful, "Based on what you have done before, even if you show the draft score to netizens, they will not believe it. If you really want to prove it, I'm afraid you won't There will be some improvement, and some people may not think that you used extraordinary means to force others to admit plagiarism. So..." Jin Zaizhong's tone was softer, "Although this is more embarrassing, I hope you don't interfere. What's going on, we will to find out."

Wronged, how long has it been since Ji Yao experienced this kind of mood?Even if Bandit Wu ignored him, he was not discouraged at all, but now, this rich young master who was lawless before, only felt grievances in his heart.

"Hey..." Zheng Yunhao sighed helplessly, stepped forward and walked in front of Ji Yao, bowed slightly, stroked Ji Yao's head with his hands, full of love and affection like his own brother, "Ji Yao, commercialization may be real It won’t work. In fact, I felt from the beginning that we can take the public welfare route and make up for your previous efforts with more contributions, but it will definitely be very hard. My colleagues and I will still go all out, but you are still willing Do you believe me?"

Ji Yao repeatedly thought back to what Zheng Yunhao said before. He felt that those straightforward truths were really hurtful, but what he said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it.But... But he knows that after so many days of sharing joys and sorrows, communicating with the staff, and rushing to work with the subordinates of EAST, although he was prepared to fail, he has always aimed at success, until now he is on the verge of failure.As the protagonist of the entire album, Ji Yao saw and personally experienced Zheng Yunhao's efforts and dedication as a producer, and his sweat was no less than his own...

Ji Yao slowly raised his head, looked at Zheng Yunhao's appraising eyes, raised his hand and mercilessly knocked off the hand on his head, then stood up, his eyes returned to the usual unruliness: "Who are you delaying?" Yes, it’s up to someone to understand.”

The EAST trio showed gratified smiles at the same time, and Tan Qing's face also changed from sadness to brightness.But before they had time to discuss the upcoming emergency public relations, the door of the office was pushed open again.

"It's not good." The person who came was Zheng Yunhao's former subordinate, a former member of the advertising department, "Mr. Ji Yao plagiarized."

All five people in the conference room froze, and now... Although they were victims, they were indeed in panic now.

Before they came back to their senses, another person entered the meeting room.This person has an extraordinary temperament, with a polite smile, her eyes did not stop at anyone, she looked straight at Zheng Yunhao: "Sorry to bother you, the chairman is kind."

Facing Gao Jinde again is because of Ji Yao.Gao Jinde seemed to be waiting for him specially, when he saw Zheng Yunhao coming in, he had an expression of "waiting for a long time", ready for a showdown.

"What's going on?" Gao Jinde raised his eyebrows and asked, his tone full of impatience, and he seemed to understand the current situation very well.

"The track of Ji Yao's album was leaked, someone released it on the Internet before us." Zheng Yunhao thought for a while and came to such a conclusion.

"How did you do it? Such a confidential thing leaked out? And people stole more than half of it!" Gao Jinde's tone was full of accusations, "You have been involved in the media industry for so many years, and you don't know about such common sense things. Do you know how much damage it caused to the company?"

Jung Yunho would like to refute that although he has been involved in the media industry for many years, he has never been in the entertainment industry, but this is not a reason for the current situation.

"I'm sorry for the loss of reputation, but a rational person should know to separate plagiarism from EAST; as for the loss of money, because I originally planned a circulation of only [-] copies, and now only all of them have been produced. A quarter is mainly for the accompaniment, and I paid the money in advance, and the total price is only a small part of my salary." Zheng Yunhao is not trying to escape, but just analyzing the current situation.

Gao Jinde glanced at him: "Can some things be measured by money? The company's image, route, evaluation, how much can you buy back?"

"To be honest, I never thought that with Ji Yao's bad reputation, some people would care about his things, and some people were willing to tamper with and steal them shamelessly, so I never thought of the possibility of leakage. This is my I am willing to take responsibility for Zheng Yunhao's dereliction of duty..."

Before Zheng Yunhao finished his sentence, Gao Jinde interrupted eagerly as if he was waiting for this sentence, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that he interrupted: "Are you responsible? How are you responsible? You are in my East, and now there is a plagiarism incident , do you know what people scold on the Internet?"

Gao Jinde turned the notebook to Zheng Yunhao, and continued, still refusing to let go: "They said that Ji Yao is so shameless, hurt countless people and now wants to steal other people's labor fruits! They say that our EAST is really greedy for profit, and even this kind of person doesn't care. Willing to spend my time holding it!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yunhao's expression that was full of self-blame just now began to become meaningful: "Director Gao, if I remember correctly, you gave me the matter of praising Ji Yao, and you said it was for an old friend. , want to help."

"I asked you to praise it, but that's how you praised it? Plagiarism?"

Zheng Yunhao's expression gradually cooled down: "Gao Dong, those netizens don't know the inside story, don't you even know it? As the son of a singer, Ji Yao is born with a talent for music. If you put a knife on his neck, he won't go for petty theft, let alone when it's about music!"

Gao Jinde sneered: "Do I believe it is useful? The majority of netizens believe that is the point."

Looking at Gao Jinde like this, Zheng Yunhao suddenly understood something vaguely.So, he stopped arguing, because he felt that it would not be helpful to continue, and he just said: "I am willing to take full responsibility for this matter, and I will not implicate EAST. I will resign."

Gao Jinde's eyes swept across Zheng Yunhao's face sharply like an eagle, he finally got up from the chair and walked in front of Zheng Yunhao: "You don't have to do this."

"I am willing to take full responsibility. This matter is my dereliction of duty. I will not deny it. I will bear all the consequences. It has nothing to do with EAST." Zheng Yunhao's tone was firm, but he was also disheartened.

"Zheng Yunhao, you are a talent, I really don't want to let you go, but this matter must have a result." Gao Jinde patted him on the shoulder.

"Dong Gao, I understand, I don't want to embarrass my boss when I'm a colleague." Zheng Yunhao smiled, it was his usual expression, "I have one last request to forget Gao Dongcheng."

Gao Jinde's face was full of surprise: "You say."

"Kim Jaejoong." Zheng Yunhao and Gao Jinde looked at each other, "I will let Kim Jaejoong resign from here, and I hope Director Gao is willing to let him go."

The reason why Zheng Yunhao did this is because Kim Jaejoong has not been in EAST for a long time, and he is weak. In addition, the two of them have been busy with Ji Yao's album. He is worried that after he leaves, he will be in an embarrassing situation. Situation, so decided to take him along.Although he didn't discuss it with Kim Jaejoong himself, Jung Yunho believed that he could understand him.

Gao Jinde stared at him with narrowed eyes, Zheng Yunhao didn't back down either, he didn't feel like giving in on this matter.

Gao Jinde thought for a while, if a newcomer can save him from future troubles forever, why not give it to him?

"can."

Zheng Yunhao smiled with relief: "Thank you Gao Dongcheng, then... there will be a period later."

Then he walked out of the chairman's office door without the slightest nostalgia.
