“Job market?” Chen Zhengxin paused for a moment, then quickly caught on.
If Zhong Jianping had gone to the job market looking for work, Ye Zhiwen would definitely be with her.
As long as he could find Zhong Jianping in time to apologize, it should not be difficult to explain things clearly to Ye Zhiwen and then ask for Li Changlin’s phone number.
“That’s right, let’s head out immediately.” Seeing Chen Zhengxin come to his senses, Bai Zicong immediately turned around and strode towards the door.
“It’s all good, you guys get going!” Seeing Bai Zicong already leaving, Chen Zhengxin quickly waved and jogged out after him.
The two of them swiftly got into the car and sped off toward the job market.
However, when they arrived, Ye Zhiwen had already left with Zhong Jianping, and Bai Zicong and his companion had made a fruitless trip.
“What should we do now, Brother Bai?” Standing at the entrance of the job market, Chen Zhengxin asked in disappointment.
Bai Zicong pinched his chin, feeling completely at a loss as well.
“Bai Shao, President Chen, what’s the rush?
Isn’t Ye Zhiwen still employed?
He’s bound to return to the opera house sooner or later!” Huo Zhibiao, following close behind the two, cracked a smile, thinking they were overreacting.
“Right, I was being too hasty!” Chen Zhengxin smacked his thigh, finally calming down.
“So, we’re going back?” The corner of Bai Zicong’s mouth twitched, feeling he had truly made a fool of himself today.
However, when he thought of the song “Undecorated Dream,” his heart heated up again.
Such a classic tune was worth losing some face for—it actually wasn’t a big deal at all.
“Go back, we must go back.
I refuse to believe that Ye Zhiwen would give up his salary just for Zhong Jianping!” Chen Zhengxin was determined, turning and dashing toward his car.
“Let’s go, if we’re going back, then let’s do it.” Bai Zicong certainly didn’t want to give up easily, especially with the clue that was Ye Zhiwen on hand.
For such a classic song, he was determined to fight for it.
So the three got back into their cars and headed to the Guangming Opera House once more.
But Ye Zhiwen obviously wouldn’t return so soon, considering Zhong Jianping was upset about being fired.
After registering in the job market, he took Zhong Jianping out to take her mind off things.
As for Li Changlin, he wasn’t as carefree as Ye Zhiwen, but he wasn’t in a hurry to return either.
In Jincheng, there was a professional copyright registration agency called Jiayou Agency.
After parting ways with Ye Zhiwen, Li Changlin made his way to this company.
Although from a legal perspective, the copyright for a song is automatically obtained once the creation is complete and doesn’t need any application or registration.
Li Changlin was very clear in his mind that as the Points from the God Tycoon Cultivation System increased over time, he would surely be exchanging for songs continuously.
If these songs weren’t registered for copyright, he would have no protection.
If someone with ulterior motives pirated his songs, proving ownership would become a troublesome matter.
To avoid these hassles, entrusting an agency to get the songs registered first would solve the problem.
Even though this meant Li Changlin had to pay an extra fee for copyright and agency services, he felt the investment was worthwhile and necessary.
Arriving at Jiayou Agency, he was greeted by a specialist named Du Xinyu.
After carefully understanding Li Changlin’s requests, Du Xinyu began to calculate the cost.
According to Li Changlin’s wishes, he was planning to register a batch of ten songs all at once.
With this, a considerable sum would certainly be needed.
In addition to the fixed copyright fee of twelve hundred yuan per song, Jiayou Agency also charged an agency fee of eight hundred yuan per song.
By calculating this, Li Changlin was looking at paying a total of twenty thousand yuan for ten songs.
Of course, Jiayou Agency offered a bulk discount as well, which enabled Li Changlin to get a 20% discount, meaning the agency fee would only be six thousand four hundred yuan.
After hearing Du Xinyu’s analysis, Li Changlin weighed his options and did not raise any objections.
He was aware of the going rates and knew that Du Xinyu wasn’t overcharging him.
However, eighteen thousand four hundred yuan was not a small amount, and Li Changlin did not have that much money on him.
But luckily, he had earned over ninety thousand yuan the night before, and although he couldn’t withdraw all of it from the Wuxiang Legion, he could still access fifty percent of his earnings.
Therefore, Li Changlin didn’t dwell on it too much and directly asked Du Xinyu to prepare the contract while he used a computer at Jiayou Agency to log into the Wuxiang Legion website, enter the broadcaster’s backend, and request a withdrawal.
The Legion’s account was linked with the bank, so as long as Wuxiang Legion’s finance department confirmed everything was correct, the money would typically be transferred to the bank account provided by the broadcaster when signing the contract within half an hour after the withdrawal request was made.
Since Wuxiang Legion didn’t have many broadcasters under its banner, the efficiency of the finance department was quite high.
Less than five minutes after Li Changlin requested the withdrawal, his phone started to buzz with a message notification.
He took out his phone and saw that the Wuxiang Legion had transferred forty-five thousand yuan to his account.
“Efficiency’s not bad!” Li Changlin snapped his fingers and put his phone away.
At this moment, Du Xinyu came over with the prepared contract.
Li, please take a look at the contract, and if there are no issues, we can sign it,” said Du Xinyu with a smile as she handed over the contract to Li Changlin.
Li Changlin opened the contract and began to read it carefully.
The contract was Jiayou Agency’s standard agreement, and everything that they had discussed was included in the document.
Li Changlin glanced over it and, finding no issues, picked up the pen on the desk and promptly signed his name.
There were two copies of the contract, and after Li Changlin signed, he handed them back to Du Xinyu.
Li be paying in cash or by bank transfer?” Du Xinyu asked in a soft voice as she received the contracts.
“Bank transfer,” replied Li Changlin as he pulled out his bank card.
“Alright, please wait a moment, Mr.
Li,” Du Xinyu nodded, taking the contracts and turning away.
It wasn’t long before she returned with a POS machine.
Li Changlin inserted his bank card into the POS machine, Du Xinyu entered the transfer amount, and then she instructed Li Changlin to input his password and make the transfer.
The transaction was quickly completed, and Li Changlin withdrew his bank card and put it back into his pocket.
Du Xinyu left with the POS machine and later returned with a copy of the contract that had been stamped.
Li, we will have your copyright matters sorted within a week, and we’ll notify you by phone when it’s done,” Du Xinyu said.
I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation,” Li Changlin stood up with the contract in hand and extended his right hand towards Du Xinyu.
“Pleasant cooperation,” Du Xinyu shook hands with Li Changlin, then stepped aside slightly to see him off.
