Chapter 44 Jing'an is urged to get married
"Okay." Unexpectedly, Chen Jie agreed without hesitation.

"You just believe me?"

Chen Jie smiled bitterly. "If I don't break out of my current situation, I may never rise again, so I want to take a gamble."

"Brother Chen has signed a contract with the company, right?"

Chen Jie nodded, "I signed the contract, but it just expired last month. Maybe because I haven't had any new works in the past two years, the company is not in a hurry to sign a new contract with me. After all, I am a superstar and my salary cannot be reduced."

"I understand this. You want to give Brother Chen the cold shoulder, and then wait for him to bring up the issue of a pay cut, right?" Cheng Jing'an suddenly realized.

"Brother Chen, do you want to come to our company?"

"You...your company?" Chen Jie didn't understand who this "we" was referring to.

"I have invested in Sister Chuxia's company!" Cheng Jingan said proudly.

Chu Xia also nodded in agreement, "If Brother Chen comes, I can not only write a hit song for him, but I can also authorize Chen Ge to sing the song "The Lone Brave Man" for free."

Chen Jie's eyes lit up, but then he thought, signing two songs with a new company?

"If Chen Jie comes, I can guarantee that Brother Chen will release a new album within a year, and I will write the songs."

"Deal! Boss!" Chen Jie no longer hesitated. His current situation was a bit awkward. He had to take a gamble. If he won, he would be in heaven. If he lost, the worst that could happen was to maintain the status quo.

When leaving the coffee shop, Chen Jie looked very proud and elated.

On the way home, Chen Jie received a call from his former agent. "Brother Chen, our contract with the company expired last month. I was too busy recently and didn't think about it for a while. Brother Chen, when is a convenient time for us to discuss the contract?"

Chen Jie was very cooperative when he heard his agent, who had been with him for 20 years, speak in a roundabout way. "What are we talking about? Is the contract going to be changed? Is the company going to increase my salary?"

"Brother Chen, you... stop joking... We haven't had any profitable works in the past two years. The company has been quite dissatisfied and told me several times, but I kept stopping them... But now we can't not sign the contract for such a small salary, right?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Old Wang, I believe you, but you should also understand that I am a superstar after all, right? If word gets out that my treatment is lower than those newly promoted top stars, how can I survive in this circle?"

"Chen Jie, how can you think like that? Although they are young, they are making money for the company!"

"Then did I make less money for the company during those years?"

There was silence for a moment. "Brother Chen, why don't you think about it again? At your age, where can you go if you leave the company? Can you still get good treatment? We have to look at the reality."

"Lao Wang, let me think about it again." Chen Jie hung up the phone, not taking it seriously.

I will sign a contract with Xiazhi Entertainment tomorrow, and after signing, I will start recording "The Lone Brave Man". I don't have time to think about these messy things.

Still click on me?
Do you really think that I, Chen Jie, have wasted these decades?
After returning home, Chen Jie put all these things behind him and started practicing the music score of The Lone Brave Man that Chu Xia gave him.

The more he listened, the more addicted he became. By the time Chen Jie came to his senses, the lights outside the window were already on.

"Brother Jie, I heard that you are going to sign a new contract with the company?"

The person who called Chen Jie was his junior sister Dong Shuran, who used to have the best relationship with Chen Jie in the company, but later jumped to another company. "The company is too much. How much money did you make for them when you were popular, Brother Jie? Now it's just because you don't have any good songs, and they... Brother Jie, do you want to come to me? I'll talk to our leader and I will definitely not reduce Brother Jie's salary!" "Ranran, thank you for remembering Brother Chen's matter. I just didn't expect that Lao Wang only called me in the afternoon, and you knew about it in the evening. It seems that someone deliberately spread it out? Don't worry about my affairs, I know what's going on."

"Brother Jie, it's too formal to say these things about our relationship. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't be where I am today. If you rejected me because you were worried about causing trouble for me, I would be very angry! I might even break up with you!"

"Of course, it's not that serious. The expiration of the contract is a happy event for me. It just happens to save me from unnecessary trouble. As for my plan, you will be able to see it in a few days. It's confidential for now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he couldn't say many things because he had been friends with the company for decades. But now, who actually started to suppress him?

And you want to use him as a slave at a low price?

And then train the new people recruited by the company one by one?
Do you really think he is an honest man and easy to bully?
He didn't want to care before because he remembered the friendship they had, but now, all that's left is calculation and exploitation.

Ah.
-
"Sister Chuxia, I have chosen the address for our company! Don't worry, Sister Chuxia, I have a clear distinction between public and private. Although this building is mine, the rent is 200,000 yuan a day!"

This price is really ridiculously low for Lincheng, where every inch of land is valuable, but Cheng Jingan said he would be responsible for this, and Chuxia did not refuse.

"Now we have Sister Chuxia, Anzi, Brother Chen and Ji Ranran in our company. I think the future is bright! But our songs need to be written by Sister Chuxia alone. Isn't that a bit...exploiting the boss?"

"Don't worry, I have a stock of albums for each of you."

"So I can also release an album, Sister Chuxia!" Cheng Jingan looked at Chuxia excitedly.

When Cheng Jingan saw Chu Xia talking about releasing an album for Ji Ranran, he felt a little jealous, but he couldn't show it since they were family!
Today, when Cheng Jingan heard Chu Xia say that she was going to release an album for King Chen, the seed of jealousy in her heart sprouted again.

Even though he is a family member and a shareholder, he also wants to release an album!

Cheng Jingan went home happily.

Both parents are at home. Cheng Jingan's brother is in charge of a company abroad and her sister is in junior high school.

Father and Mother Cheng looked at their son and said, "Xiao An, you said you wanted to sing, and your father and I agreed. Your father now plays the song "Walking the World with a Sword" on repeat every day."

Cheng's mother laughed as she spoke. Cheng's father glared at her, then looked at his son, "I told you that if you can achieve something, I won't force you to go home! Now it seems that the beginning is okay! But it's just okay! But the girl you're with is pretty good."

"You mean Sister Chu Xia? She's a genius! And hardworking!"

"Why are you calling me sister?"

"She is my sister and my boss!"

Mother Cheng looked at her son in shock. "So, there is no hope?"

"What hope?" Cheng Jing'an didn't understand what his parents were talking about.

"Daughter-in-law! If you miss such a good girl, won't you regret it?"

puff!
Cheng Jingan almost spit out, "Mom, I just graduated this year, there's no rush to get married, right? Besides-"
