Fang Mo'er was dumbfounded.
She felt like moving a stool over so she could sit down and watch his performance.
"Are you trying to say that if we can't make it into the shortlist of songs, I'll have to compensate for the loss?"
Fang Mo'er suddenly spoke up, just as Mu Chen was scolding her with conviction.
Mu Chen, who had originally planned to do just that, paused for a moment before nodding. "You still haven't taken out the song!"
There was not much time left now. All he wanted was to have the demo of the theme song in his hands as soon as possible.
He really was the best of all sc*umbags. Fang Mo'er clicked her tongue.
This was how her original character had been bullied in the past.
However, the original character had willingly been punished. It would not be the same with her now.
Fang Mo'er fell silent. Lowering her head, she took the music score out of her bag.
Mu Chen hurriedly took a step forward, intending on snatching it out of her hands.
However, Fang Mo'er raised her hand and dodged his movement. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "It's not impossible for this song to be selected, but according to the rules, as the company's top composer, I want to claim a 90% share of this song."
Fang Mo'er knew that if she handed over the song first, she would not be able to get a single cent for it.
Although she was a rich woman now, she would still feel distressed by it. Besides, she still wanted to experience the joy of earning money.
She did not want to be made use of by others.
Mu Chen was shocked. "Mo'er, you were always willing in the past."
"That was in the past. Now, we've broken up.
"So of course, it's only... business."
Dating was an expensive business. It was not something she could afford.
In the past, she had been a sucker.
Now, Shi Mo was the sucker. He had just gotten married and given her a black card.
Fang Mo'er's husband was a great catch.
Fang Mo'er's mind had wandered for a while before she realized that Mu Chen was anxiously saying, "Alright, I'll give you the 90%!"
"Deal!" Fang Mo'er quickly took another contract out of her bag. "Sign this and we'll have a deal!"
Mu Chen's mouth twitched.
When had this woman become so smart? It seemed as if he could not fool her anymore.
He had no choice but to reluctantly sign his name. Fang Mo'er then threw the music score on the table.
She quickly and gracefully retreated. "President Mu, I'll be leaving first then. There's no need to send me off."
Fang Mo'er had prepared two contracts today.
The first one had been one that Mu Chen would never sign, no matter what.
At least, he had signed the second one. She would not have to work for free in the future.
Her mood was exceptionally good.
Mu Chen hurriedly called Supervisor Qi in and asked him to send the song to the partnering company.
He had noted expect supervisor Qi to be momentarily stunned. "President Mu, the song has already been sent over. The other party just called and said that Fang Mo'er had sent the demo of the song over, and..."
Supervisor Qi had originally been hesitant, not knowing how to tell the news to President Mu. Now, he was even more at a loss for words.
"And what?" Mu Chen felt as if he had been tricked by Fang Mo'er.
If he had known, he would not have signed the contract and the company could have saved a huge sum of money.
"Furthermore, the other party said that Fang Mo'er had said that there would be no need for exceptions when it came to choosing a singer for this song. All that was needed was a fair competition."
Because the song had been written by Fang Mo'er, she had been able to ask the other party not to give his company any special privileges.
Naturally, the other party had readily agreed.
Mu Chen, who had been yet to ask for any special privileges, had already been blocked off.
"B*stard! Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
"President Mu, I only just received the call." Supervisor Qi was also sweating profusely.
However, when Mu Chen saw the song's title, he was stunned. He picked it up to take a better look.
What he saw written on it was, "No Regrets" – Composer and Lyricist: Fang Mo'er.
"No Regrets"? Was Fang Mo'er making a confession to him? Was this her way of showing him her anger?
She had even vented her anger on Bai Rong.
Was it because she felt that he had treated Bai Rong too well and had neglected her? Was that why she had been acting so strangely?
Was this all because Fang Mo'er loved herself too much?
Was this because she could not wait to reveal the rest of her assets just so that everyone would look up to her?
Mu Chen's lips curled up. So, her anxiousness was because he had not gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau the other day.
Was she just playing hard to get?
'Ha! Women.'
Supervisor Qi was baffled when he saw Mu Chen suddenly smile. Had President Mu gone mad?
Supervisor Qi asked, "President Mu, should we contact Star Dream Era again and recommend our singer?"
Mu Chen shook his head. "There's no need. Let's just leave it at that. I believe that Little Rong will definitely win.
"Also, you don't have to blame Mo'er for this matter anymore. You can leave first."
Since Fang Mo'er was jealous, it would be better to let her do as she pleased, in order to prevent her from overreacting.
'Woman, you're such a disaster.'
Supervisor Qi: "..."
...
In the lyrics and music department.
Fang Mo'er walked around and saw the office with her name on the door.
On the door were the words 'Gold-medal composer, Fang Mo'er.'
It looked like Fang Mo'er had quite a high reputation in the entire lyrics and music department.
