"This matter is related to me, and I will naturally clarify it for you. At the same time, I am also looking forward to your new song."
"Thank you, President Pan. Remember to clarify it as soon as possible. I'll treat you to a meal next time."
...
Everything requires reciprocity.
One song in exchange for Pan Peter's clarification, and incidentally, for him to investigate the matter.
Within these few sentences, the goal was achieved.
...
Tang Xiaomin learned from Butler Wang that Tang Zhongcheng had left the villa and money to Tang Yiyi, indicating he would not live with them.
Finally, he had abandoned Tang Yiyi and Li Xue.
Tang Zhongcheng had left with nothing, and now he had bought a villa. It was likely that the money he left for Tang Yiyi was not much.
However, this alone was far from enough.
Tang Yiyi's only pride was her face, her figure, and her "talent" for writing pop songs.
Debuting had always been Tang Yiyi's dream.
Now that she had been abandoned by Tang Zhongcheng, it was time for her debut. Su Dan Novel Network.
In her previous life, under the promotion of the golden agent Yang Zhenzhen, Tang Yiyi had become a well-known little singer in just one year.
At the age of twenty-something, at the annual Fengyun Gala, she sang her new song.
For a time, she earned the reputation of being a "talented woman."
In this life, Tang Xiaomin would naturally not allow Tang Yiyi to have such a smooth ride.
Tang Xiaomin made a phone call to Yang Zhenzhen.
"Sister Zhen, have you been looking to discover new talent recently?"
Yang Zhenzhen greatly admired Tang Xiaomin's talent and was eager to sign her.
"Tang Ye has been recommending Tang Yiyi to me, praising her endlessly. I've seen her, and the girl is indeed a good prospect. With her conditions, with proper cultivation, she should be able to make a living in this industry."
"However... if you were to join, I wouldn't consider her."
Yang Zhenzhen was a shrewd operator.
Praising Tang Yiyi was a pretense; her real intention was to subtly undermine Tang Xiaomin.
"Sister Zhen, as far as I know, many people want to sign Tang Yiyi. Recently, she was abandoned by Mr. Tang, and she'll likely consider entering the entertainment industry. You need to seize the opportunity quickly."
Tang Xiaomin dropped a bombshell and hung up the phone.
Yang Zhenzhen on the other end had no idea about the internal affairs of the Tang family.
The information Tang Xiaomin provided was that Tang Yiyi urgently needed to enter the entertainment industry to make a future for herself.
Previously, when signing Tang Ye, because he was backed by Tang Shi, with capital support.
Therefore, the contract was harsh on Yang Zhenzhen.
Even if Tang Ye caused considerable trouble, she could not unilaterally terminate the contract.
Things were different now.
For the current Tang Yiyi, there was no room for negotiation.
If she could be successfully cultivated, she would definitely be a lucrative prospect.
Yang Zhenzhen drafted the contract and handed it to Tang Ye before leaving work.
"I've decided to sign Tang Yiyi. Give her the contract and tell her to come see me to sign tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ye was immediately delighted.
But after a quick glance at the contract, he frowned.
"Sister Zhen, this profit split is wrong. How can Party B only get two-tenths?"
Tang Ye had originally signed a fifty-fifty split.
Now, for Tang Yiyi, it had become an eight-two split.
The difference was too great.
Yang Zhenzhen said dismissively.
"It's been several years since I signed you. Times have changed. Do you know how much money it costs to get good resources now?"
"Cultivating new artists is not easy. I might as well give all the resources to the few artists I already have, and it would be less trouble for me."
Her implication was, take it or leave it; they weren't desperate for people.
Tang Ye understood that Yang Zhenzhen was treating people differently based on their circumstances.
Now that they no longer had the Tang family backing them.
Naturally, there was no room for negotiation.
Yang Zhenzhen was very capable.
If she was willing to sign Tang Yiyi, she wouldn't be afraid that Tang Yiyi wouldn't make a name for herself.
As for Tang Yiyi, her current situation was dire, and her father hadn't left her much money.
Her brothers couldn't support Tang Yiyi forever.
Now, it was time for her to grow up and earn her own living.
After work, Tang Ye immediately took the contract to Tang Yiyi.
In the Clear Water Bay villa, Tang Yiyi was overjoyed when she saw the contract.
In her mind, she already envisioned herself standing on stage, with tens of thousands of people cheering for her.
"Second Brother, thank you... You're the best to me."
Tears of emotion welled up in Tang Yiyi's eyes.
Tang Shi was gone, and her father had abandoned her.
She was now in a desperate situation.
This contract was like a new life for Tang Yiyi.
"Thank you, Second Brother."
Tang Yiyi excitedly hugged Tang Ye, thanking him sincerely.
Fortunately, her brothers still cared about her.
No matter what, they were still there.
Her brothers were Tang Yiyi's emotional solace.
Only they would always remember her.
Once upon a time, Tang Ye had hoped for a future with Tang Yiyi.
But now...
He only felt pity for Tang Yiyi, a pity born of their blood relation.
Tang Ye gently pushed Tang Yiyi away.
"I will do everything I can for you. The path ahead is yours to walk."
"Second Brother..." Tang Yiyi choked up.
Tang Ye didn't linger. After completing the task, he left.
The next day.
Tang Yiyi arrived at Yang Shi Media early in the morning and signed a five-year contract with Yang Zhenzhen.
Yang Zhenzhen said to Tang Yiyi, "Didn't you and Tang Ye perform a song together at the school anniversary celebration last time?"
"License that song to the company, practice it well, and in a week, I'll arrange a formal debut opportunity for you."
Tang Yiyi, naturally, would not let go of such an opportunity and readily agreed.
"Don't worry, Sister Zhen. I'll practice diligently and I definitely won't let you down."
Yang Zhenzhen looked at the obedient Tang Yiyi, who agreed without even questioning the copyright, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
This was exactly the kind of mindless and obedient person she needed.
Tang Yiyi posted about signing with her agency on her social media.
She announced her debut to everyone in a high-profile manner.
Soon, the group chat exploded.
"Tang Yiyi is debuting, is that for real?"
"I asked my dad to check with Yang Zhenzhen, and she really signed."
"I didn't expect this. She debuted so quickly. This is a bit too surreal."
"Tang Xiaomin can acquire a company, so Tang Yiyi debuting isn't that surprising."
"She was kicked out, so she has to earn money to support herself."
"If she doesn't hurry, she won't be able to survive."
"Yeah, unlike us, if we don't do well, we'll be forced to go home and inherit the family business."
...
Tang Yiyi looked at the various surprised, envious, or even sour comments in the group chat.
Her heart was filled with immense satisfaction.
She also posted a message in the group.
"If it weren't for your families, you would be nothing. What right do you have to mock me for relying on myself?"
!!!
This comment stirred up a storm, and they all began to retort.
"You've only signed a contract, and you're already getting arrogant?"
"So what if you become famous? You're still just an employee."
"My family owns a cement factory. I'll definitely make you come to my house to carry cement and endorse our cement."
"My family makes roasted chicken. I'll invite you to be the chicken and endorse the chicken."
