How crazy last night was, Bai Yin could no longer remember clearly. Under the catalysis of alcohol, Bai Yin felt the most extreme frenzy.
She and Chen Huaixiao had not been married for a short time, but the mutual desire between them had never disappeared. On the contrary, it became more and more intense, and every time... it was like the first time.
Vaguely, Bai Yin heard him say a lot of love, so much that it made her feel unreal.
Even now when she woke up, she didn't quite dare to believe it was true.
In her dreams, she heard Chen Huaixiao confess to her more than once.
Of course, in her previous dreams, she also dreamed that Chen Huaixiao knelt in front of her and cried begging her. She laughed and woke up directly...
This time, it was estimated to be the same as in the past, just a beautiful dream.
Bai Yin slept and played with her phone on the bed from time to time, and stayed in bed until noon before getting up.
Walking around the spiral staircase, she walked down lazily. Tangka, dressed neatly, stood at the foot of the stairs with an ironed western dress suit in his hands, respectfully said: "Madam, this is the clothes prepared by the young master for you. He will invite you to the company later."
Bai Yin flipped through the clothes casually: "What am I going to the company for?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Bai Yin took the clothes and went to the room to change. After lunch, Tangka drove her to Xingxing Media.
Shen Bin had been waiting early in the lobby. He welcomed her into the elevator and went directly to the conference room on the thirteenth floor.
An assistant held a black leather file bag and waited for them.
It was a share transfer agreement.
Shen Bin pushed the agreement to Bai Yin and said solemnly: "Madam, please take a look first. If there is no problem, just sign on it..."
Bai Yin took the document curiously and read it carefully clause by clause. Gradually, her expression changed.
She looked at Shen Bin incredulously: "Chen Huaixiao wants to give me half of the shares he holds?"
"That's right. After the contract takes effect, half of the profits after deducting operating expenses from Xingxing Media's quarterly profits will be transferred to your account."
Bai Yin was shocked: "Is this real? How much money is this?"
Shen Bin smiled decently: "Madam, this is immeasurable wealth."
"But why does he...why does he want to do this!"
"Young Master Chen said that he had made a promise with you last night, and now he wants to fulfill his commitment."
Bai Yin patted her head and tried her best to recall. In the fragmented memory fragments in her mind, it seemed...there was such an incident.
But that was just a game she played with him. Bai Yin didn't really expect him to fulfill the dare's agreement.
There’s no such good thing as pie falling from the sky.
"No, no, no, Shen Bin, I can't sign it! This company isn't mine. I'll feel guilty after signing it."
Bai Yin decisively put down her pen and pushed the agreement back to Shen Bin's side.
"Madam, are you sure?"
Bai Yin nodded: "Absolutely sure."
She always walked steadily, one step at a time, and never thought she could eat a whole fat man in one bite.
She wouldn't get less of what she deserved, but she would never take what she didn't deserve...
"Please wait a moment."
Shen Bin took back the agreement and went back to the CEO's office on the top floor. He handed the contract documents to Chen Huaixiao.
Chen Huaixiao took the agreement: "Did she sign it?"
"Uh..."
"Does she look happy?"
"Uh...uh..."
Chen Huaixiao put down the black enamel fountain pen and looked up at Shen Bin: "Has your tongue fallen off?"
Shen Bin said embarrassedly: "Madam said she won't sign it."
Chen Huaixiao frowned: "Does she think it's too little?"
"No, Madam said she can't sign it."
"Why?"
"She's afraid that after signing it, you won't let her leave the company alive."
"..."
Chen Huaixiao leaned back in his chair and was silent for a moment. A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Alright, she doesn't lack money now anyway."
Shen Bin was about to respectfully exit the office when Chen Huaixiao twisted open the fountain pen and continued to sign documents: "By the way, help me pass on a message to her."
A few minutes later, Shen Bin came to Bai Yin.
Bai Yin asked curiously: "What did Chen Huaixiao say?"
Shen Bin's expression was serious: "President Chen said it's okay not to sign. Of course, he also won't assassinate you if you sign it. He is a law-abiding citizen."
"Who knows." Bai Yin chewed on milk candy and rolled her eyes: "Xingxing Media is the empire he built with his own hands. A gentleman does not take what people love. I want to live a few more years."
"Oh yes, young master Chen asked me to pass on a message to you."
"Well, go ahead."
Before Shen Bin could speak, his face turned red first. He coughed lightly and said, "Cough cough, e..."
"What message does he want you to pass on?"
"He said...he said..."
Bai Yin became nervous: "What did he say? Don't tell me he asked me to make a will."
"He said A Yin is his baby, he can give her anything, yue~~~~!!!"
Shen Bin started retching violently.
Bai Yin was stunned for a few seconds and started "yue" with him.
Five minutes later, Shen Bin returned to the CEO's office. Chen Huaixiao looked at him expectantly: "What was her reaction?"
Shen Bin said awkwardly: "Madam vomited."
"..."
"Madam also said that if you disgust her again, she will call the police."
*
In early spring, Le Yun Video Platform held a large-scale dance talent show, inviting Bai Yin as a judge of the show.
As Bai Yin’s agent, Sun Lili accepted the notice without hesitation.
The judges of this talent show were all big shots in the industry, such as street dance king Lu Zhehao; there was also Mushi Yi from girl groups, focusing on modern jazz dance; and national dance artist Feng Ling.
The program team invited Bai Yin to serve as a judge, mainly because of her solid foundation in classical dance. Her "Rainbow Skirt Dance" and "Long Sleeve Dance" were wildly popular for a time, becoming material for countless video editing websites, and were also used by many people to watch and practice.
At the first recording of the show, the dancers appeared on stage, starting the mutual selection mechanism between contestants and judges. After mutual selection was over, it would be the faction grouping battle.
Bai Yin watched the dancers' dances carefully and gave thoughtful comments. She didn't deliberately make some sharp comments as required by the program team.
She was a newcomer herself, and understood the difficulties for newcomers to succeed.
Of course, she also knew the rules of post-production editing for variety shows: in order to create highlights, there was no bottom line. It was very easy to reverse right and wrong, black and white.
In Xingxing Media's training camp before, the artists also received training in this aspect, teaching them how to keep themselves safe on variety shows.
As a judge, Bai Yin played this set very smoothly, almost flawless.
Until one person's appearance completely broke Bai Yin's calm state of mind.
Two words appeared on the big screen opposite: Qin Yao.
Seeing this name, Bai Yin's heart shuddered, thinking it was just a namesake.
This girl named Qin Yao wore a light yellow water sleeve shirt. She appeared on the stage gracefully.
Her long sleeves flew as she danced lightly like a fairy from beyond the sky.
She was fair-skinned and beautiful, especially her clear and bright eyes, just like the pure and flawless fairy tale world, as beautiful as the ice crystals and snowflakes on a winter day.
At that moment, Bai Yin almost didn't need any confirmation to be sure that she... was Qin Yao.
The kind of innocent and pure girl that Chen Huaixiao liked turned out to be like her.
Sure enough, she came back.
And throughout the whole dance process, she kept her eyes locked on Bai Yin, as if she was here for her.
After finishing this dance, Qin Yao took the microphone handed over by the host and bowed humbly to the judge teachers: "Hello judges, my name is Qin Yao. I graduated from Stanford University majoring in law. Dancing is my biggest interest, so I'm back now to fulfill my dream. I hope everyone will like me, thank you."
The host looked at her and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "OMG, look everyone, she looks a bit like Judge Bai Yin."
The judges around smiled and commented: "Yes, quite alike, especially the dancing posture."
"So is it because of this reason that you specifically chose Bai Yin's "Long Sleeve Dance"?"
Qin Yao looked at Bai Yin with a spring breeze smile: "I really like Judge Bai Yin! Her "Long Sleeve Dance", I've practiced hundreds of times, it's so beautiful. Coming to participate in "Dance Force" this time, I also came for her."
The other judges meaningfully said, "Oh~~ So you already have a mentor in mind, sorry for bothering."
Judge Mushi Yi said: "The three of us judges have turned on the lights for you, but Bai Yin hasn't turned on the light for you!"
The live audience naturally hoped that such a cute girl like Qin Yao could get what she wished for, so they shouted together: "Burst light! Burst light! Burst light!"
Everyone was urging Bai Yin to burst the light for Qin Yao.
Bai Yin's slender fingertips tapped the red button, tapping it, but she never pressed it down.
Even in the face of Qin Yao's fiery gaze, her expression remained extremely cold.
Seeing the atmosphere become a little awkward, the host quickly made up: "Judge Bai Yin, do you have anything to say about Qin Yao's dance just now, after all, she danced your "Long Sleeve Dance" that you choreographed."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Yin, of course, including Qin Yao.
She looked at Bai Yin kindly and sincerely, her eyes were so sincere and kind.
However, Bai Yin didn't know if it was because she was prejudiced against her, but she always felt that her eyes were pretending.
Maybe it was the villain's heart, but Bai Yin was this kind of person, always doubting.
Seeing Bai Yin silent for a long time, Qin Yao put her palms together and pleaded humbly: "Teacher Bai Yin, please accept me, I beg you."
The live audience naturally also chimed in after seeing her coquettish and sincere attitude, hoping Bai Yin would choose Qin Yao.
"Choose her!"
"She's so cute, she must succeed."
"Sis Bai Yin must choose her!"
Bai Yin knew Qin Yao had put her on the spot.
For such a pious and kind girl, if Bai Yin didn't choose her, she would inevitably lose favor with the audience.
She thought about it and asked, "You said you majored in law?"
Qin Yao nodded vigorously and answered briskly: "Yes!"
“Did you purchase the copyright for performing the Long Sleeve Dance...?” Bai Yin suddenly asked, and the entire room fell silent.
No one had expected that Bai Yin would ask this!
Of course, all the dancers who went on stage performed commercial dances, and needed to purchase the rights and get consent from the copyright owner before they could go on stage and perform.
But in fact, many of the dances performed by newcomers on the show "Dancing Fever" were dances that had been adapted countless times online already, to the point where the original choreographer could no longer be found.
So in reality, very few people actually purchased the rights, and no one went after them for it.
The Long Sleeve Dance was different.
No matter what Qin Yao's motives were for choosing her Long Sleeve Dance, performing it without purchasing the rights was an infringement.
For other new performers, Bai Yin could let it slide, but she did not want to extend this kindness to the "innocent and naive" girl in front of her.
She calmly said, "If you did not purchase the rights, please contact my lawyer to discuss this matter. Also, I will not choose you for my team."
These words did not leave any face for Qin Yao.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and she nodded, "I understand, Teacher Bai Yin is right, it's my mistake. I'm a newcomer and don't understand a lot of things. Thank you Teacher Bai Yin for giving me such a big lesson today."
When she said this, the audience felt great sympathy for her, and whispered:
"I think Bai Yin went too far with what she said."
"Yes, poor Qin Yao."
"Could Bai Yin be...jealous?"
"Bai Yin came on the show herself, yet she's nitpicking about copyright with a newcomer. That's going too far."
As Bai Yin watched Qin Yao cry harder and harder, looking as if she had bullied her.
She knew the show producers would definitely "edit" this explosive clip and even put it in the promo to generate buzz.
She didn't care what the audience thought, she only feared Chen Huaixiao would be worried to death.
Thinking of this, she was even less inclined to let Qin Yao off easily.
Since she was already taking the blame, she might as well bully her to the end.
"Being a newcomer is no excuse for making mistakes. Everyone was a newcomer at first. If you don't even have basic awareness about copyright, it really makes me doubt the authenticity of your educational background. Please contact my agent about purchasing the rights, I'll give you half a month to pay. Otherwise, I will have my lawyer sue you."
Qin Yao was stunned, she did not expect Bai Yin to persist.
Did she not care about the audience's evaluation and perception of her? Not care about being branded as bullying newcomers?
The two looked at each other for a long time, until finally, Qin Yao understood.
It wasn't that she didn't care, it was that she simply didn't mind at all.
