"What kind of copyright do you have on your side?" He Yi asked.
"It's like this, our company saw that Miss Ji's (guest) songs 'Proud' and 'Arrogant' are quite good, and we want Miss Ji's two songs to be playable on our Penguin Music platform, but only on our music platform." Zeng Hou said.
At this moment, the phone was in hands-free mode. When Ji Nian heard this, her eyes lit up. Another person had come to give her money. She seemed to see the dawn of her debt being paid off.
"Do you mean that if we cooperate with you, the playback rights of this song will belong entirely to Penguin?" He Yi asked.
"Yes, Miss He also knows that now almost half of the people use this software to listen to songs on our Penguin Music platform. Although we own the copyright entirely, we also understand that Miss Ji is short of money right now, so the terms we offer are still very good." Zeng Hou had a very confident smile on his face over the phone.
"It's like this, we just signed a music playback contract with Dou Yin. Will that affect this?" He Yi asked.
Zeng Hou was surprised that Dou Yin had moved faster than them. It seemed that everyone had come for the popularity of these two songs. He said, "Miss He, don't worry about this. Dou Yin is a short video platform, different from a music platform, so this will not affect it."
"What are the terms you offered?" He Yi asked directly.
"Two million. The music playback rights for these two songs," Zeng Hou replied.
Ji Nian's eyes widened in shock. Two million! She hurriedly nodded her head. He Yi's eyes were also smiling, and she nodded to indicate that Penguin Music was still very conscientious.
"Okay, when do we sign the contract?" He Yi agreed directly.
Zeng Hou also expected the other party to agree. He said, "I'll have to ask Miss Ji to come to our company tomorrow too. The accompaniment and other things still need to be prepared in advance by our department, and then you'll have to come to the recording studio to officially record the song."
"Okay, we'll come over at 3pm tomorrow," He Yi replied.
"Great, look forward to working with you, see you tomorrow," Zeng Hou said before hanging up.
At this moment, Ji Nian was still a little silly. If she responded to Dou Yin tomorrow, then she would have earned three million in cash. She was still a little dizzy.
On the other hand, He Yi was happy. Two million was already a high price, plus the one million Dou Yin offered, her debt was much lighter now.
"Sis, you're awesome, I didn't expect you to be so skilled now, far better than before." He Yi said with a laugh.
Ji Nian raised her head arrogantly, "It's like gold will always shine."
"Oh, you're getting arrogant from some praise?" He Yi shook her head and then asked, "Who exactly is this mystery person? Why did he give you the song? Does he have any motive?"
Ji Nian was startled, then said, "Mystery is me."
He Yi spoke in a tone of disbelief, "What's our relationship? You're hiding this from me? That's not nice."
"It really is me," Ji Nian said. She used songs from the real world.
"Fine, if you don't want to say, let it go," He Yi was curious but would not ask too much. In the past, she did not ask too many questions about Ji Nian's relationship with Cheng Li Ran either.
Ji Nian felt helpless. She was too lazy to explain either, after all, they were not songs she had written, so let her misunderstand.
The next day, Ji Nian and He Yi took buses and subways, traveling over mountains and rivers before finally arriving at the entrance of Penguin Music's company building.
He Yi looked like she was about to vomit from the bumpy bus rides, and Ji Nian's face did not look much better either. It took them three and a half hours from the suburbs to the city center and here. One had to say, Beijing was truly huge.
"Sis, I can't take it anymore," He Yi's face was pale. She actually did not get carsick, but sitting in vehicles for so long was tiring. The subway was still alright, just crowded and made her feet tired. Buses were bumpy, starting and stopping all the way, making her dizzy and a little nauseous.
Ji Nian's face was also deathly pale. To be honest, she had never traveled around so much before crossing into this book. Now having inherited Ji Nian's debt of 10 million yuan, and living far away, going out was also very inconvenient.
"Do you think I'm doing any better..." Ji Nian had gagged a few times too.
"Why don't you rent a place in the city first after this money comes in, don't rush to repay the debt," He Yi said.
"No!" Ji Nian rejected it in one go. She did not have the habit of owing others money. Her past self had never even opened an installment plan, rarely owing others money. Even if she did, she would repay it at the fastest speed.
Although she had crossed over now, and did not know if she could go back, this was still her debt for the time being. She had to pay it back.
Seeing her determined expression, He Yi did not say anything more, just sighed.
Then seeing that the call had connected, she immediately changed her tone and said, "Hello Mr. Zeng, we're already downstairs at the company building, but we can't get in without a pass. Can you come down to get us?"
Zeng Hou looked at his watch, 2:50 pm, not bad, they were on time. He replied, "Miss He, please wait a moment, I'll send someone down now."
"Thank you Mr. Zeng," He Yi said.
After waiting for ten minutes, a young lady came down. When she saw that the person in front of her was the internet sensation Ji Nian, she was stunned for a moment.
"Hello, Mr. Zeng asked me to come down to get... you..." The young lady walked up to them and asked uncertainly. She had only heard that she was to come down to get someone, but had not been told who. Yet these two were the only ones standing outside the company building.
Ji Nian had just taken off her mask not long ago. Seeing the young lady's stunned expression, she replied, "Yes, we're here to sign the contract."
The young lady was startled for a moment, then quickly said, "Okay, please come with me."
In the elevator, the young lady kept stealthily looking at the woman before her, with amazement in her eyes. She really was beautiful, even prettier than in the videos, with flawless, fair and delicate skin, and exquisite features far better than many entertainer celebrities. It was strange, why hadn't she become popular before?
"You're so beautiful," the young lady said somewhat shyly.
Ji Nian was surprised. To be honest, she still wasn't used to having such a beautiful face as her original body.
Being suddenly complimented for her looks, her first reaction was still that it was for her past self, before realizing that it was meant for the current her. She smiled politely and said, "Thank you."
The young lady blushed and shyly lowered her head.
Ji Nian thought she was quite cute. She herself was just an ordinary person in the past, not standing out at all in a crowd.
She didn't have long legs either, or such good skin. After crossing into the book, it seemed to fulfill her wish of becoming a beauty. It felt quite awesome to think about it.
With a "ding", the elevator door opened, stopping on the 19th floor. The young lady said, "Miss Ji, we're here. I'll take you to Mr. Zeng's office."
"Okay, thank you," Ji Nian nodded in reply.
