“200,000 yuan per song…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirou was stunned on the spot.

This price was way too high for Lin Zhirou.

Typically, original songs go for a few tens of thousands of yuan per piece.

But Principal Ding also said,

These three original songs were composed by a friend of his who writes songs for famous singers, so the price perhaps makes sense.

If the songs are truly good.

Then they’re definitely worth the price.

Thus, Lin Zhirou drooped her head to take a look at the papers in her hand.

At this moment, Ding Yue also laughingly said to Lin Zhirou, “Classmate Lin Zhirou, first see if the quality of these songs is worth the price.”

“Alright.”

Lin Zhirou nodded slightly and then started to read seriously.

The first song was titled “Fragrance of Rice”.

Judging by the lyrics and sheet music, it seemed to be a very inspiring pop song, both the lyrics and melody were excellent.

“Remember you said that home is the only castle, with the fragrance of rice and river running on, slightly smiling, I know about the dreams from my childhood~”

After reading “Fragrance of Rice”, Lin Zhirou couldn’t help marveling.

My goodness.

It truly showed the quality of songs composed by professional musicians.

If she sang it well, it might really become popular.

In this parallel world, freēwēbnovel.com

Ding Yue was surprised that Director Zhou was not on the scene when he decided to plagiarize some songs, so naturally, Director Zhou’s songs don’t exist in this world.

But clearly, artists like Zi Zi exist in this parallel world, last time Lin Zhirou even covered Zi Zi’s song “Meet”.

Since Director Zhou didn’t exist, Ding Yue was left to copy his songs in tears.

Ding Yue had heard each of Director Zhou’s songs countless times, and now he was curious to see what it would be like if Lin Zhirou sang a female version of them.

“With these three songs, I can assure you that you’ll become the outstanding star among the new generation singers!” Ding Yue continued to “charm” from the side.

However,

Ding Yue’s real intention was not to make Lin Zhirou buy the songs.

Three songs for 200,000 each, that’s 600,000 in total.

Lin Zhirou likely couldn’t afford that much.

Moreover, Ding Yue didn’t even deign to earn that mere 600,000.

So,

he had another trick up his sleeve for Lin Zhirou.

A hardworking music student like Lin Zhirou, with solid professional background and powerful singing skills, would inevitably create a little spark in the Music Circle after graduating.

Would Ding Yue allow a student who could boost the fame of the Arts and Culture department at Mist City Arts and Science University to fall into others’ hands after graduation?

The entertainment industry was very complex.

Such an innocent school beauty, Ding Yue couldn’t bear to let her jump into that mix.

So why not build her up himself?

Thus, Ding Yue’s intention was to ensure that his Feiyue Group could sign Lin Zhirou.

Lin Zhirou continued to check out the next two songs.

One was called “Confession Balloon”, and the other “Blue and White Porcelain”, each one of them was top notch among the songs Lin Zhirou had seen.

These three songs were definitely worth 600,000!

But,

Lin Zhirou didn’t have 600,000 yuan.

“Principal Ding, these three songs are so fantastic, I…

But I can’t afford 600,000.” Lin Zhirou said, very upset.

“It’s alright.

We can adopt another way, you know what I mean, right?” Ding Yue looked at Lin Zhirou, smilingly asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirou instantly felt tense in her heart.

Could it be that Principal Ding…

he wants…

“Classmate Lin Zhirou, I think highly of you.

As long as you sign with my company after graduation, for ten years, not only will these songs be yours, I guarantee that you will be the queen of the Music Circle, would you like to consider this?”

Ding Yue spoke heavily and tried to convince Lin Zhirou earnestly.

Lin Zhirou sighed with relief, realizing she’d misunderstood Principal Ding.

I mean, how could someone as handsome as Principal Ding resort to such underhanded tactics?

Turns out, Principal Ding only wanted to sign her onto his company.

Principal Ding’s offer seemed quite fair to Lin Zhirou.

With her talent, she would likely pursue a singing career after college graduation, which would involve signing with a company anyway.

So why not sign with Principal Ding’s company?

He’s such a great person.

Moreover, Principal Ding’s company must be quite powerful given that he’s able to manage a large-scale private university.

Upon reflection…

She wouldn’t be on the losing end!

“Principal Ding, I accept…”

Lin Zhirou seemed to have made up her mind, biting her lip, speaking determinedly.

All was going as Ding Yue had anticipated.

Smoothly, he retrieved a contract from his desk drawer and handed it to Lin Zhirou.

“Take a look at the contract.”

In Ding Yue’s perspective, Lin Zhirou had no reason to decline.

The pop music scene is highly competitive and ruthless.

If Lin Zhirou wanted to be a singer, she would need quality, original songs.

What else would she compete with?

Now…

Three top-quality original songs were in front of Lin Zhirou.

Perhaps there would be even more in the future.

If Lin Zhirou signed with Principal Ding’s company and showed outstanding performance, Principal Ding would certainly ask his musician friend to create even more excellent original songs for her.

Lin Zhirou began to scrutinize the contract.

Ding Yue sat down satisfied, subconsciously watching Lin Zhirou.

Her head was down, reading the contract – the sight was pleasing to the eyes.

This beautiful campus belle would now be at his disposal.

Just the thought brought him joy.

After a long while…

Lin Zhirou finished reading the entire contract.

It was a standard artist’s contract.

According to the contract, during university and for ten years post-graduation, Lin Zhirou would be under Principal Ding’s direction.

No, that’s not correct.

To be accurate, she would be an artist under Principal Ding’s company, the Feiyue Group.

After signing the contract, Lin Zhirou felt as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

She looked at the three songs in her hand, filled with joy.

“Lin Zhirou, go home and work hard.

As long as you shine at the National College Student Art Festival Music Competition, your future path will be paved by the university and the company behind it,” Ding Yue confidently assured while retrieving one copy of the contract and placing it back in his desk drawer.

“Ok, Principal Ding, I’ll go practice the new songs.” Lin Zhirou nodded slightly, full of anticipation and joy for the future.

“Good, off you go.”

Ding Yue had achieved his goal, now it was up to Lin Zhirou’s performance.

With such good songs…

She should at least win a first prize, right?

As a cheerful Lin Zhirou stepped out of the principal’s office, she ran into directors Huang and Xu.

“Isn’t that our campus beauty, Lin Zhirou?”

The two entered Ding Yue’s office.

Huang Youjie curiously asked, “Yue, why did Lin Zhirou just leave your office?”

“Could there be a story here?” Xu Bin raised his eyebrow, grinning.

“Oh, not much, I’ve just signed her up, no biggie,” Ding Yue confidently said.

“Whoa!”

“That’s hardcore, Yue!

You signed her up in your office!!!”

???

Ding Yue was suddenly full of question marks.

Is there anything else in your heads aside from these salacious thoughts?
