Chapter 299 – Let Me Handle It!

“Let me handle it!”

Guo Ziyi, Ding Xiang, and Yang Huan, because of their similar ages, had formed a small circle and their relationship was even better than with Yang Yi. After all, Yang Yi didn’t often hang out and play with them.

Two days later, when they were chatting together again, Yang Huan mentioned that Yang Yi was looking for connections to help her transfer her student status. Guo Ziyi’s eyes lit up, and he volunteered to handle the matter.

He wasn’t just trying to impress others. He immediately ran to Yang Yi, who was working on the script, and patted his chest, saying that he could handle this matter!

“Can you?” Yang Yi frowned, expressing doubt.

He contacted several schools, but it was clear that directly applying for a cross-province transfer of student status was not feasible. Yang Yi, who had hit a wall, was ready to seek help from Lan Zhoukai to deal with the situation.

“Of course!”

At this moment, Guo Ziyi remembered that he had not told Yang Yi about his family background. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Big Brother Yang, you don’t know yet, do you? I forgot to tell you, my father is a leader in Jiangcheng City, um, the deputy mayor. He may not be able to help with other things, but transferring Sister Huan’s student status is a small matter that he can solve.”

“You’re a second-generation official!” Yang Yi looked at Guo Ziyi in surprise. He only realized now that he had overlooked this. This guy didn’t show any signs of being a second-generation official in his usual behavior.

Guo Ziyi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, “My father doesn’t want me to go around boasting about it, saying it wouldn’t be a good influence.”

In fact, Guo Ziyi was being quite vague and didn’t want to boast about his background. He wasn’t only a second-generation official, but also a third-generation official and a second-generation rich. It wasn’t necessary to mention what official position his grandfather held. His father was previously the deputy mayor in charge of discipline inspection, and was just promoted to executive deputy mayor last month. His mother’s family was also involved in business. Although his mother didn’t do business, giving Guo Ziyi a few thousand-yuan pocket money every month wasn’t a problem at all.

Don’t ask why not give tens of thousands… Guo Ziyi said that talking about it too much would bring tears.

Yang Yi didn’t hesitate and entrusted this matter to Guo Ziyi. Yang Yi didn’t look at him differently because he knew his identity. Whether in his previous life or in this life, this guy really did not care about power and influence.

Seeing that Yang Yi was still the same as usual, indifferent but not distant, Guo Ziyi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hesitated to reveal his background, not only because of his father’s control, but also because he was worried that after revealing his background, the original pure friendship would change.

……

Just like before, Mo Fei has been shuttling between Shanghai and Beijing these days, working hard to promote her new song and climb the music charts.

And “The Initial Dream” has also showed a good momentum, not only winning the weekly top of chart such as “Music Power Chart”, but also squeezing into the top ten of the copyright organization’s “New Song Bestseller Chart”!

After all, with the foundation of “Across the Ocean to See You”, many people were full of expectations for Mo Fei’s new song.

However, at this time, some discordant voices began to appear on some music websites.

“The melody of this song is good, but the lyrics are vulgar. Mu Li’ang personally created this good song but also destroyed it with his own hands!”

“Mo Fei should go back to singing her ‘Across the Ocean to See You’! What the heck is ‘The Initial Dream’? It’s so terrible!”

“It is said that ‘The Initial Dream’ is also the title track of Mo Fei’s new album. With such a terrible song, one can imagine how bad the rest of the album will be!”

These negative reviews have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, unknowingly occupying the view of fans. Although some fans who liked this song were fighting back vigorously, there were too many of these posts, almost randomly repeating the same content, causing them to dominate the screen. It inevitably affected some fans’ perception of the song.

In fact, it was not these music websites that have greater impact, but the music review sections of some music publications. Not only did Liu Shifang jumped out and attacked Mo Fei’s new song again, but also several other well-known music critics gave it very negative reviews.

What was terrifying was that they confidently spouted nonsense, speaking with a straight face as if it were true: “‘The Initial Dream’ is a poison under the banner of chicken soup for the soul1! It conveys a wrong idea. It’s not wrong to stick to your dreams, but one shouldn’t be stubborn. Studies have shown that 90% of people have a wrong perception of themselves. To succeed, one needs to continuously change, not stubbornly refuse to change!”

The sudden negative reviews left Mo Fei, who had just learned of this news, somewhat bewildered.

“Sister, did you offend someone?” Mo Xiaojuan asked her privately. “This time being attack, it shouldn’t be Sister Ling’s people who did it. They have no reason to do so. It can only be outsiders.”

But how could Mo Fei figure out who she had offended?

Mo Xiaojuan could only attribute this to someone being jealous!

This was something that could be expected. After all, Mo Fei, whose popularity had declined significantly, took the top spot on the new song bestseller chart with the song “Across the Ocean to See You”. Some first-line singers behind her found it hard to accept.

Fortunately, the people in Tianmei’s public relations department were not vegetarian. They have taken action one after another, looking for people to delete posts and some respected seniors to support “The Initial Dream”, trying their best to reverse the bad situation caused by these bad reviews. However, they were careless and unprepared before, so the impact was still there!”

At first, “The Initial Dream” had a strong momentum, but due to the impact of these negative reviews, its sales stagnate after rushing into the top ten, and It even slipped down one place, almost falling out of the top ten!

This didn’t have a significant impact on Mo Fei. After returning to Jiangcheng, she continued to prepare for the release of her new album in January next year. The two songs have almost finished their pre-release promotions, and the fans’ appetite couldn’t be kept waiting for too long!

……

In Guangzhou, Fu Jun, who had already launched the first round of financing plan, suffered setbacks.

At first, Sahara, which released financing signal, attracted a lot of attention. In addition to the boss of Hong Kong Flowing Golden Years Records Company, Cui Zong, many investment banks with keen interest also came to the door.

However, they were frightened by the price offered by Fu Jun!

For the 6% of shares offered in the first round of financing, Fu Jun gave them an expectation of 200 million. Although there was room for negotiation, some investment bank managers felt that Fu Jun was playing with them!”

“200 million yuan, only 6% of the shares? Do you think your company is a gold mine? Why don’t you go rob someone else?” A hot-tempered manager changed his face directly.

Of course, most managers still put on a forced smile and continued to talk with Fu Jun. However, even if Fu Jun lowered the price to 150 million, they still found it difficult to accept.

“How much is your company worth? You want to sell so much for only six percent of the shares? We can only offer 40 million!”

However, 40 million was too little. Not to mention the standard given by Yang Yi before, Fu Jun himself couldn’t accept it.

After all, these were investment banks with their own calculations. Seeing that the negotiation was not coming to an agreement, they left their business cards and temporarily shelved the project.

They thought it through thoroughly. As long as they weren’t in a hurry, Fu Jun would eventually compromise.

Because now, competitors to Sahara Online Shop have appeared!

Fu Jun received internal reports from the company that shopping website such as “Ruyi Shopping Network” and “Lexiang Online Department Store” have appeared on the Internet. Although their scale was still small and their customer traffic was far less than that of the Sahara Online Shop, which has already accumulated a group of loyal users, it couldn’t be denied that online shopping was no longer the exclusive business of Sahara Online Shop!

Fu Jun, as the people in the investment bank thought, began to get anxious.

And at this time, Lan Zhoukai, who hadn’t been approached by Yang Yi, approached Yang Yi.
