Chapter 578: Picking up my wife to go home

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and Xu Tian continued: "So, are you sure you want to replace the producer? Does it not matter anymore whether you can win the Queen of Song award?"

Nie Jingjing: "..."

What to do? She was already starting to regret it. If she hadn't been impulsive and posted that Weibo about retiring if she didn't win the Queen of Song award because she was provoked by those hate fans, she wouldn't be suffering this grievance now.

"Mr. Xu..." Nie Jingjing complained aggrievedly, "Of course I want to release the album and win the Queen of Song award to slap those hate fans in the face, but that kid Jiang Fengyang is really too much!"

"Even if my singing skills have shortcomings, can't he talk to me properly? He acts like I owe him millions. I'll have nightmares tonight just from looking at his deadpan face one more time!"

"You say he has such a foul temper, how has he managed to survive until now? Don't the artists who have worked with him before want to pool money to get rid of him?"

Xu Tian: "..."

You're probably the only one who could have such a thought.

"Mr. Xu, there are so many famous producers in the entertainment industry, can't we really change to another one?" Nie Jingjing pinched her voice and acted coquettishly toward Xu Tian. "As long as it's not Jiang Fengyang, anyone will do."

"There are indeed many famous and talented producers in the entertainment industry, but he is the only one who can ensure you have a chance to compete for the award."

Nie Jingjing was silent again.

Xu Tian smiled and said: "Actually, you can give up now. At worst, after retiring from the industry, you won't go online and won't see the hate fans' comments, which won't affect your life."

"No!" Nie Jingjing said immediately. "Absolutely not!"

If she were to retire from the industry so ignominiously, it would be better to just kill her.

"But that kid Jiang Fengyang is really annoying. I get depressed just thinking about being tormented by him every day." Nie Jingjing continued to vent. "Mr. Xu, what if I really get depressed and can't make money for you in the future?"

Xu Tian raised an eyebrow and bluntly exposed Nie Jingjing's little trick: "Just say what you want."

"Actually, I don't have any requests..." Nie Jingjing became a bit coy instead, beating around the bush for nearly half a minute before stammering: "It's just, if I'm willing to cooperate with that kid Jiang Fengyang, can you give me the contact information of the Hoodie God?"

Xu Tian: "..."

Didn't they say Nie Jingjing's relationships never lasted more than two weeks? Why was she still thinking about the Hoodie God after so long?

"Mr. Xu, I just want the contact info. If he doesn't like me, I won't force it!" Nie Jingjing continued to strike while the iron was hot.

Of course, in her mind, there was no such option as "what man wouldn't like me."

With her charm, wasn't it easy to pursue whoever she wanted?

"How about this: if you really win the next Golden Melody Award for Best Actress, I'll introduce you to him."

Xu Tian had originally thought Nie Jingjing was just having a fleeting interest and would forget about it before long, which was why he lied to her that the person she met was his younger brother.

But it had been nearly a year, and Nie Jingjing still hadn't forgotten. Instead of keeping it from her, it would be better to find an opportunity to tell her the truth and let her give up completely.

However, knowing the truth didn't seem like a reward for Nie Jingjing.

Xu Tian could already imagine Nie Jingjing's reaction when he told her that the person she met that day was him; she would definitely be furious.

But this request was made by Nie Jingjing herself. He was just doing a favor, which could make her focus on recording songs and solve a hidden danger at the same time. It didn't seem like a loss.

"Mr. Xu, are you serious? As long as I win the Queen of Song award, you'll introduce my idol to me?" Nie Jingjing seemed a bit incredulous. "Wait, can you say that again? I'm recording the call!"

Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh: "What, are you afraid I won't keep my word?"

"Of course, it's better to have evidence for this kind of request." Nie Jingjing quickly turned on the call recording mode. "Mr. Xu, say it again. If I win the next Golden Melody Queen of Song award, what reward will you give me?"

Xu Tian's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he said helplessly: "After you win the Queen of Song award, I'll introduce my younger brother to you."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Nie Jingjing saved the recording with satisfaction. "I will definitely win the next Queen of Song award. Mr. Xu, just wait and see! I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to record songs."

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Tian to speak again, Nie Jingjing hung up the phone first.

Yun Shuo, who was beside Xu Tian, asked with some surprise: "You have a younger brother? How come I've never heard of him?"

Xu Tian rubbed his temples: "That's a long story."

He briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter to Yun Shuo, and Yun Shuo laughed heartily after hearing it.

"So the idol Nie Jingjing has been thinking about is you yourself? Then you're in trouble!"

Xu Tian: "?"

"I'll explain it clearly to her when the time comes. Once she knows it's a misunderstanding, she shouldn't have any more ideas."

Yun Shuo stopped smiling: "How do you know she won't have any ideas about you after knowing the truth?"

"How is that possible? She didn't even see my face clearly at the time. It was probably just a whim. Plus, we've been working together for so long, how could she suddenly say she likes me just like that?"

"That's not necessarily true," Yun Shuo said meaningfully.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. After I go back, I'll formulate a three-year plan for you. I'll send it to your email after it's done. Remember to check it."

Xu Tian didn't take the agreement with Nie Jingjing to heart. After saying goodbye to Yun Shuo, he went to the variety show recording site.

Because it had reached the elimination stage, the program team rented a manor in the suburbs. Usually, the contestants ate, lived, and trained in the manor, with dedicated vocal and dance teachers guiding them. The guest mentors invited by the program would also go to see the contestants' training from time to time, and every weekend, a bus would take them to the convention center for stage performances.

Although the program hadn't officially aired yet, the company had already created Weibo accounts for every contestant who advanced. Of course, according to the contract signed earlier, these accounts were temporarily managed by the company.

The contestants who passed the auditions all signed short-term contracts with Flourishing Stars Media. Before the program finished airing, they were equivalent to artists under Flourishing Stars Media.

Of course, these artists were currently managed by the program team's outsourced staff, so Xu Tian didn't need to worry about them for the time being.

Because Chen Si had come to smash the place before but was scared out of his wits instead, everything went smoothly during the subsequent recordings, and no one dared to come and make trouble again.

Xu Tian would go to the manor to supervise the filming progress when he had time, but most of the time he stayed at the company to handle daily affairs.

Everything was normal at the recording site today, and Xu Tian planned to leave work early and go home.

After driving away from the manor, he called Tang Bingyan, wanting to pick her up on the way home. Both of them had been busy with work recently, and Xu Tian suddenly realized he hadn't been to the Tang Group to pick up his wife for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 579 =====
