Chapter 428: Yang Mi is trying to scam me for money again

~7 min read 1,279 words

"What is it?"

Yu Mo’s lazy voice came through the receiver.

Hmph!

He only knows how to ask "what is it" when he calls.

Doesn't he know to ask how I've been lately?

Or even just say he missed me?

Yang Mi muttered to herself.

"Nothing major. The person in charge at Bian Tian Culture said they want to discuss the copyright for that song of yours..."

"Oh, I know. I’m the one who told him to contact the company."

What?!

Yang Mi’s face darkened.

Yu Mo, do you think I’m not busy enough as it is?

"By the way, has the profit share from *The Wandering Earth* arrived yet?"

Before Yang Mi could speak, Yu Mo continued to ask.

"Yeah, you’re certainly clear-headed when it comes to money. You don't ask about anything else and just push it all onto me! I spent a lot of effort on the negative press that got you trending a few days ago..."

"How much money was split?"

Hey, hey!

Are you even listening to me?

You only know how to ask about money!

Hmph!

Yang Mi glanced at the report.

"The company dividend is 80 million, plus your investment share, it's just under 200 million."

Hmm?!

Yu Mo paused for a moment.

"Did you make a mistake? Is it that little?"

"It's correct, that's all there is. If you don't want it, I'll take it."

"No, no, no, just deposit it into my account. That's it, I'm still busy, hanging up!"

Yu Mo hung up the phone.

Yang Mi looked at the phone, which was emitting a beeping sound, with a resentful expression.

She had talked for so long, but it was as if she hadn't said anything at all.

It turned out Yu Mo’s intention was just to let her handle it herself.

Hmph!

It was all thankless work.

However, thinking about her investments, her stocks, and the copyright money about to come in, her mood improved again!

……

The recording of *The Voice* continued.

After the mentor assessments and the championship battle.

A tense round of wheel battles took place.

The number of team members kept decreasing.

Yu Mo’s disciple, Zhou Shen, passed through five levels and slew six generals along the way; his performance was truly brilliant.

Song after song was performed beautifully under Zhou Shen’s vocal prowess.

"Dala Bengba" became even more explosive across the entire internet.

Being able to sing in six different voices.

Zhou Shen is truly one of a kind.

Another song, "She Says," broke people’s perception of love songs.

To put it in Da Da Da Zhangwei’s words: it’s just damn good to listen to.

Simple and crude.

At the same time, a dark horse caught many people’s attention.

That was Na Ying’s disciple, Xing Xing Xing Hanming.

With her unique cat-like voice, she sang "Crazy" and the Minnan-language song "You Ah You Ah," which were very popular among the general audience.

*The Voice* was filmed on-site, and early viewing channels had already been opened on major video websites.

As it aired, a wave of enthusiasm immediately swept across the internet.

Two major camps were drawn.

One team supported Yu Mo and Zhou Shen.

The other team supported Na Ying and Xing Xing Xing Hanming.

And the support was extremely high-pitched.

The atmosphere was such that it seemed they wouldn't be satisfied unless these four people got into a physical fight.

Yu Mo didn't pay attention to any of this.

However, the young starlets of Jade Rabbit Media were following it closely.

Fearing that their Senior Brother would suffer a loss on the show.

"Should we discuss it with Sister Mi Mi and go be backup dancers when Senior Brother reaches the finals?"

"Yeah, I have that intention too."

Yang Chaoyue, Wu Wu Wu Xuanyi, and the others whispered their conspiracy.

"What if Sister Mi Mi doesn't agree?"

"Then we go quietly? Act first and report later?"

"Yeah, that works too. Anyway, Senior Brother is so gentle, he’ll definitely protect us. It’s just backup dancing, nothing will happen."

"I agree. If Sister Mi Mi blames anyone, you take the fall!"

"Damn it, I take the fall? For Senior Brother, I’ll take it!"

We can't let them be compared to others.

Who can compare to their Senior Brother?

Seriously.

We must give them a good lesson.

The recording of *The Voice* was nearing its end.

Under the relentless attacks from Xue Xue Xue Zhiqian and Da Da Da Zhangwei, Yu Mo threw out two songs.

One was "Wow."

One was "Alien Object."

Their eyes lit up.

"Big Brother, you’re too righteous!"

"Big Brother is mighty!"

Yu Mo waved his hand nonchalantly.

"I just copied them, don't thank me so much!"

Yu Mo said bluntly.

And he had copied them from the two of them.

These two songs were ones Da Da Da Zhangwei and Xue Xue Xue Zhiqian had sung in their past lives, but they hadn't been released in this life yet.

Naturally, the two didn't believe him.

"Stop teasing us, they are clearly new songs!"

"Exactly, I’m the little prince of songs; these songs have never been sung by anyone. Big Brother worked hard in secret and was just too embarrassed to let us know."

Yu Mo tilted his head.

Believe it or not.

I really did copy them, copied them from you two.

"Don't get happy yet, you two. As for the copyright issue, go talk to Yang Mi."

The two immediately replied:

"No problem!"

Xue Xue Xue Zhiqian lowered his voice and leaned into Yu Mo’s ear.

"The recording is almost over. Do you have any preparations for the finals?"

Yu Mo paused for a few seconds.

He slowly looked at Xue Xue Xue Zhiqian.

"Of course I’ve prepared. For the most important segment, I have to let Zhou Shen appear more; it will help his future stardom."

Xue Xue Xue Zhiqian let out a long "Ah" and leaned in again with a grin.

"Reveal a little, reveal a little!"

"No comment."

After saying that, Yu Mo walked away gracefully.

"Leaving just like that? Big Brother, hey!"

"Alright, look at you. Do you really think you can have any development on *The Voice*? Hurry up and finish the show, go home early and write songs!"

"Have you heard the new song Yu Mo gave?"

"I have. It’s the demo Zhou Shen recorded, the rhythm is quite catchy."

"I’ll hurry back and listen to it too."

Yu Mo wasn't joking.

He had indeed prepared a new song for Zhou Shen.

And it was extremely explosive.

The melody was very explosive.

Actually, when he was organizing "Big Fish," this one had already been organized, specifically to be used on the Night of the Peak.

If you ask when Yu Mo had time to write songs during this period.

Every time he went back, the house was in chaos.

Several fairies made the house extra noisy.

It was like a large-scale entertainment venue.

Each had their own way of being noisy.

Yu Mo thought about those few at home and frowned slightly.

Taking advantage of them being away, he went to the lounge to have some quiet time.

Just at this moment, Na Ying also followed him in.

"Teacher Yu, are you not busy?"

Yu Mo paused.

Not busy?

Since you’ve said so, then I guess I’m not busy?

If I said I was busy, could you leave?

"Yes, Teacher Na."

"Don't be so polite. We’ve been recording the show together for a while now; we can be considered revolutionary comrades. Being too polite makes it seem distant."

"Right, indeed we shouldn't be distant. You say so, Yingzi."

Na Ying laughed out loud.
