Chapter 94 - Act First and Explain Later

Chapter 94 - Act First and Explain Later


Mo Xiaojuan was not as innocent as Mo Fei. She could vaguely see Niu Meiling’s intention, but she still held her breath and did not argue with the big boss. She didn’t complain to Mo Fei until she came back from the program recording at Xiangbei TV station.


“SisterFei, I think we should wait until the contract end, and then change ship oropen our own studio!” Mo Xiaojuan said angrily, “The people inTianmei doesn’t pay attention to us at all, and Sister Ling is also trying tosuppress us!”


Mo Fei wa.s.silent for a long time, but shook her head and said, “Sister Ling has beenkind to me. Unless they have gone too far, otherwise I can’t live up to whatshe"s done for me.”


In fact, therewas still a sentence in Mo Fei"s heart that she didn"t say: “Even if Iopen my own studio, I will not betray Sister Ling and move to anotheragency.”


Mo Fei was alittle moved when Mo Xiaojuan mentioned her suggestion of opening a studio.However, her original intention was not quite the same as Mo Xiaojuan’s. MoXiaojuan wanted to be freer and arrange alb.u.m plans according to Mo Fei’s ownideas, while Mo Fei also wanted to be freer, but she wanted to arrange heritinerary according to her own ideas, reducing the number of commercialperformances and program recordings she doesn’t want to take part in.


However, MoFei has not made this decision in her heart. After all, Sister Lingsingle-handedly cultivated her. When Sister Ling used to be her agent, she wasreally as meticulous as a mother taking care of her daughter. She also helped MoFei to avoid many torturous paths.


Includingwhen Yang Yi beat up the rich second generation and robbed him of his car andran away with Mo Fei. It was Sister Ling who came forward and it took a lot offavor to hold the matter down so that the rich second generation could nolonger pursue the matter.


These yearsof kindness, Mo Fei kept it firmly in her heart. She wanted to repay SisterLing, so she chose to come back and make a comeback in Sister Ling’s company.


“Do youstill call what they did not excessive?” Mo Xiaojuan said discontentedly,“Zhenzhen and her agent all rode on top of us, and Sister Ling didn’t saya word for us. Elder Sister, look clearly. Sister Ling is no longer theoriginal Sister Ling.”


“That’sbecause I really didn’t do well enough on the comeback alb.u.m.” Mo Feisighed. “No wonder Sister Ling told me to calm down and settle down,didn’t she?”


“Butdon’t you want to release a new alb.u.m? Now the company has no plans to collectsongs for you! How long do we have to wait now that we have to wait in linelike everyone else?” Mo Xiaojuan asked.


Mo Fei wa.s.silent. Mo Xiaojuan actually said what"s in her heart. Mo Fei wanted to come upwith a best-selling record, and if she wanted to return to the top, she neededthe full support of the company.


Besides, MoFei didn"t want to wait.


Mo Xiaojuansaw that Mo Fei didn"t say a word. She smiled and said, “Sister,fortunately, I am too smart. I"ve asked Sister Ling for a promise. As long aswe can put together 12 songs by ourselves, she will try her best to help us producethe alb.u.m!”


Mo Fei wa.s.speechless: “Where are you going to get twelve songs?”


“Lookfor Mu Li"ang!” Mo Xiaojuan proudly said, “He is such an excellent songwriter,so he definitely has a lot of good songs, and ah, he is your admirer. He will writesongs for you, and help you with the alb.u.m. What a wonderful thing!”


Mo Fei becameashamed and angry, “Xiaojuan, how can you talk such nonsense?”


Herrelationship with Yang Yi was stable now, even if there were some quarrels. Buteven if she and Yang Yi were lukewarm like in the past, Mo Fei didn"t want toaccept the pursuit of others!


After all,Yang Yi is still Xixi’s father, isn’t he?


What’s more,now that her heart was gradually getting closer to Yang Yi, it was even moredifficult for others to enter her heart!


Mo Fei had alwaysfelt a little guilty about accepting the songs written by this admirer. But MoFei liked both songs very much that she couldn’t decide to refuse it.


But now MoXiaojuan said that she wanted to continue to ask for songs from Mu Li"ang. It wasnot a matter of one or two songs, but a matter of ten songs. This debt ofgrat.i.tude was too great for Mo Fei to bear!


“No, Idon’t agree with this. I can’t ask him for songs again!” Mo Fei vetoed MoXiaojuan’s proposal.


“Heh, Iknew you won"t agree.” Mo Xiaojuan triumphantly brought Mo Fei to her deskand clicked on an email. “So I did it first!”


In theemail, Mo Xiaojuan sent an email to Mu Li"ang in the name of Mo Fei. Of course,Mo Xiaojuan did not use a very flattering tone or explicit words, but simplydescribed her current situation and asked if Mu Li"ang had any new songs togive her.


“Mu Li"ang”replied. He didn"t say yes or no, but just said: “give me some time.”


“There’sstill a chance!” Mo Xiaojuan said happily.


But shesuddenly felt a bone chilling coldness and turned to see that Mo Fei waslooking at her with cold eyes. Mo Xiaojuan shivered and could not smile. Shewas embarra.s.sed.


“MoXiaojuan!” Mo Fei said word by word, “Who gave you the right? Sendinghim an email without my permission? Did I say I asked for it? The new alb.u.mcan’t be released now, I can wait! But I won’t allow you to ask him for songs!“


Because MuLi"ang is a man!


Mo Fei didn"twant to get too involved with the opposite party!


And she didn"twant this to affect her and… Xixi’s father relationship!


Mo Xiaojuanpanicked. Although she knew that Mo Fei, as her cousin, would not driver her away,but facing Mo Fei, who got so angry for the first time, she was still a littleanxious.


“Sister,I was wrong. This time it was because I didn"t think about it.” MoXiaojuan lowered her head. She said with a weak voice and some grievances.“Next time, I will do things according to what you ask me to do, and Iwill never act first and explain later!”


Mo Fei bither lower lip, and the coldness on her face dissipated a little before shesaid, “Send him another email to clarify.”


But MoXiaojuan actually emboldened herself and said, “Sister, don"t you need it?It was not easy for us to ask Mu Li"ang to write songs for us! If you thinkabout it, Mu Li"ang is so good, maybe he can write even better songs than theprevious two! “


Mo Fei frozefor a moment, but this time she was not as firm as before.


As soon asMo Xiaojuan saw that there was a chance, she hurriedly said, “Otherwise,let’s not clarify the email. What I said was also true! Later, when we have theopportunity to meet Mu Li"ang in the future, I’ll apologize to him.”


“At themoment, we can’t put all our hopes on Mu Li"ang. I’ll go to the Copyrighta.s.sociation’s website to pick new songs. I don"t care even if I get tired! I don"tbelieve that we can"t collect twelve songs!” Mo Xiaojuan patted her chestand said.


This approach was the most foolish. After all, in the context of good copyright protection, there were so many domestic songwriters. Every day, thousands of lyrics and songs were uploaded and recorded on the Copyright a.s.sociation’s website, but most of them were poor quality songs!


Trying tofind a good one among so many songs was like looking for a needle in ahaystack! What’s more, it was possible that they might be competing with manycompanies in the process. If they are slow, they may not be able to get any.


But even if itwas the most foolish approach, that was the only way for independent musicians.


Mo Fei sighed and said, “Just this once! Let me choose with you.” (TN: the “just this once” part was referring to what Mo Xiaojuan did, the act first and explain later.)
