Question:

As a girl, at the MRT subway station in the middle of the night, a handsome young man with a SLR camera in his hand invited me to go to an unknown place with him to meet a so-called musician. What is the right choice for you:

A. Go with him.

B. Reject him righteously and report him for sexual harassment.

C. Refuse him politely and tactfully.

D. Put away the guitar and go home immediately.

Any normal person would probably not consider the first option.

But……

Looking at the... strange smile on the face of the gentleman in front of me...

She also heard the phone call just now.

Although she didn't know who the musician was, Guo Caijie first had a good impression of the gentleman from mainland China in front of her.

After all, I accidentally kicked his SLR camera just now, and he also showed a quite cultivated side.

And SLR cameras are so expensive...

then……

For here, he is just a "foreigner", so as a native of Wanwan Province, she is actually not too timid.

After all, she belongs to a local gang.

And the other party doesn’t look like a bad person…

but……

Looking at the smile in front of her, Guo Caijie asked tentatively:

"Where...are you?"

"It's not far. Just go this way and cross the two roads."

Xu Xin pointed in the direction of Jay Chou's house.

Guo Caijie looked along and found that it was not a remote place. She thought about it and continued to ask:

"Can I...can I ask for information about this musician?"

"No, because this is a secret that cannot be revealed yet."

"Well……"

Xu Xin actually didn't lie.

If any news about Jay Chou's affairs leaks out, it will cause an uproar. So it's best not to announce it until the end of the date.

Even in today's Wanwan entertainment industry, it has become a fact that he left his old club.

But many people are speculating where he will go and which big company he will join, but few think he will set up his own company.

The reason is that it is a bit too tiring to rely on one artist to support a company.

It is equivalent to one person making money to support a whole family.

And if there is no one to share it with, it will be really, really tiring.

Because I am acting like a cow and a horse by myself, dragging a big company forward.

But Guo Caijie didn't know this, she was just hesitating.

Tell yourself rationally that it is best not to go.

Not safe.

Can……

What if this is an opportunity?

You can tell what kind of company this company is by just hearing its name.

It's not big.

The resources are actually quite limited. It was started by an idol named Ye Naiwen from the ENERGY boyband that debuted in 2002.

It is said to be a pioneer, but in fact, in 2005, the ENERGY boy group disbanded due to lack of popularity, and the members went their separate ways.

And she joined as a trainee because of her ex-boyfriend...or Ye Naiwen's cousin. But now that the two have broken up, her position has been very awkward.

First of all, the company is small and has few resources. Its debut is far away.

The second thing is...because I am the ex-girlfriend of the company boss's cousin, many people are very sensitive in how they deal with their relationships. If there is no intersection with me, it won't happen, otherwise I wouldn't live in Tamsui...

Her current financial situation is very poor.

Consumption in Taipei is too high.

So she could only commute back and forth like this because she couldn't afford such high rent.

And she is still in college. She cannot support herself by working part-time.

This puts her in an extremely embarrassing state now.

And now... Although we met at a noodle stall in front of the MRT... But as the saying goes, you should look at the details when looking at people. First, from the camera to the other person's clothes, and that kind of ethereal but perceptible temperament...

He doesn't seem like a bad person.

Do you want to bet...?

The girl hesitated while holding the guitar.

Seeing this, Xu Xin did not urge him, but pointed to the noodle stall at the back:

"I also want to help them bring back midnight snacks... Well, breakfast is more suitable. So, you think about it."

After saying that, he walked down the steps with his camera in hand.

The girl was left alone with her thoughts.

According to one portion of noodles and one portion of oyster omelette per person, he soon became a little daughter-in-law with a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right hand.

Carrying two bags of late-night snacks, he turned around and found the girl already standing on the roadside.

He walked over.

Ignoring the mobile phone in the other person's hand, he said:

"Let's go?"

"Okay...ok."

The girl still held the phone in her hand.

He looked a little uneasy.

Xu Xin nodded and took the lead to walk in the direction of Jay Chou's house. As he walked, he asked:

"The contract you signed with that maternity ward, is the penalty high?"

"Uh... it's... okay. Because I was the first to sign the contract at the time, and... I'm friends with... the boss's brother, so it's not too harsh."

"about how much?"

The girl hesitated and said:

"Three million Taiwan dollars."

Three million, which is almost five to six hundred thousand yuan.

In fact, there are quite a few.

When Jay Chou first signed a contract with Alpha, it was actually only about NT$5 million. However, before the album was released, Wu Zhongxian asked him to sign another contract with liquidated damages as high as NT$100 million.

Brokerage companies basically follow this approach.

Trainees, to them, are just commodities. Not to mention whether trainees dare to sign for high liquidated damages, even the law here does not allow such nonsense. It is like something worth only one dollar.

It’s the same as if I offered you a ridiculous clause of one million for every fake one.

Anyone with some brains will control this liquidated damages to a reasonable value.

Get the dog in first.

If you are capable, then the company will arrange for your debut. But before your debut, as the price of tilting the company's resources, a new contract will be drafted.

He used his debut in exchange for high liquidated damages and more harsh terms.

All brokerage companies do this.

And this NT$3 million is nothing to Jay Chou.

So naturally I can afford it.

However, Xu Xin only asked one question and said no more.

Although he thinks this girl is very good and her singing voice is interesting, he is not a professional after all. Some things need to be looked at by more professional people.
