“As soon as Gu Dong returned to his office, he swiftly headed to Lin Yuan’s office, unable to tell whether his expression was one of elation or worry: “Mr. Lin, there’s a new contract today. They’re willing to allow you to select the singer and participate in the recording.”

“Oh.”

Lin Yuan’s response was as project calm as usual, because he was more concerned with the real question: “How much money?”

Gu Dong was taken aback.

He pulled out the file that the other party had given him and stuttered, “The price hasn’t been formally discussed because I think the difficulty of this contract is quite high. They’re only giving us a month to create…”

The phone rang at that moment.

Gu Dong placed the contract on the table, somewhat embarrassed: “I need to take this call.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

The call came from Fan Longhe.

Because whether Xian Yu could produce a song was now, to some extent, linked to Fan Longhe’s future.

So, Fan Longhe, with unprecedented seriousness, opened the conversation with a somewhat urgent question:

Is Teacher Xian Yu willing to accept the contract?”

“I just returned to the office…”

“Then you need to ask him promptly!”

Gu Dong awkwardly replied, “I’m about to ask him, but, and I hope you won’t find this impertinent, how much is your company willing to pay for this contract?”

“Two hundred… no, three hundred million!”

Fan Longhe gritted his teeth: “This is the highest price 1 can personally decide on. If your company is not satisfied, I will have to discuss it with the senior leaders, but the chances are low. After all, three hundred million is already a high price in the market. And we only want the rights to the theme song!” Fan Longhe was genuinely all in, he even bypassed the bargaining process entirely, because this matter was really paramount.

When Gu Dong heard the price, his heart began to race!

Since starting his job, this was the first time he’d dealt with a party that was so affluent.

No, not quite right.

This was likely to be the largest contract the branch had ever had the chance to accept since its establishment. At that moment, Gu Dong even had an impulse to agree to it on the spot. However, he understood that the higher the price, the higher the demands. Moreover, the other party had only given them a month to prepare…

His eyes filled with a complicated look as he reconfirmed the offered amount: “Three hundred million?”

Lin Yuan looked up at Gu Dong and promptly said, “I’ll take it.”

Gu Dong’s eyes widened in surprise. He quickly covered the phone, his voice slightly trembling as he tried to lower it, “But Mr. Lin, you haven’t even seen their requirements for the song yet. Plus, they’ve only given us a month. You should at least see if it’s a fit…”

“It fits.”

Lin Yuan simply replied.

Seeing that Gu Dong still was staring at him, Lin Yuan naturally picked up the file and glanced at it. Three seconds later, he repeated himself:

“It fits.”

You only glanced at it for three seconds!

Gu Dong couldn’t help but put his hand on his forehead.

But with Lin Yuan having spoken, he had no choice but to accept it. He released his grip on the phone and tried to respond to Fan Longhe calmly, “Teacher Xian Yu accepts.”

“Great!”

Fan Longhe was a bit excited.

Although he didn’t know if Xian Yu could create an even better song, being willing to accept the contract was a good start. At least he still had the qualification to continue the competition with Luo Qi!

What he was most afraid of was Lin Yuan looking at the short time frame and deciding not to accept it at all.

Then, without Luo Qi lifting a finger, he himself would have to just lie flat and accept the ridicule. What’s the point of putting up any more of a struggle then?

“By the way!”

He suddenly remembered something and spoke up, somewhat hastily “I can send over a few lyricists to liaise, because we want a song in Qi language. Teacher Xian Yu might not be very familiar…”

“Okay.”

Gu Dong agreed with a nod. He turned to look back at Lin Yuan and bit his lip, “Shall we sign the contract tomorrow?”

“Let’s sign it tonight.”

Fan Longhe was more eager than Gu Dong had imagined.

“That works too.”

Gu Dong didn’t feel excited at all. After hanging up the phone, he only felt uneasy. He looked at Lin Yuan and said, “Are you really sure about this, Mr. Lm? For a big contract like this, there will be a penalty for breach. If we can’t produce a suitable song, we’re done…”

“It’s fine.”

Lin Yuan gave the affirmative reply.

He knew how difficult it was for the company to get contracts, so he was particularly serious about this one. After all, his salary for the month had been paid in full, and his personal fund now sat at ten million, more than enough to handle any situation that came up.

That night, Fan Longhe came to the company with his team to sign the contract.

This was a big three-million-dollar deal, so the penalty for breach of contract was a whopping three hundred thousand!

If the task wasn’t completed, starlight Music company would have to pay a compensation of three hundred thousand to the other party! It was a high stake gamble!

Gu Qiangyun’s hand was even shaking uncontrollably as he signed.

If they failed this task, their already cash-strapped company would be in even more trouble!

After signing the contract.

Fan Longhe looked around and asked, “Can I meet with Teacher Admirable Fish?”

Gu Dong replied, “He has gone home.”

It was not because he left early. Lin Yuan strictly adhered to the end-of-day timing, so Gu Dong personally had him go home.

Fan Longhe nodded and said seriously, “Alright then, I am relying on you for this task.”

“Rest assured, Teacher Admirable Fish is very capable.”

Gu Qiangyun asserted confidently.

It was not that Gu Qiangyun had ample confidence in Admirable Fish.

But rather, it was the way he reassured every client.

Despite his worries bubbling up, he couldn’t let the client see his insecurity!

Once Fan Longhe left, Gu Qiangyun slumped into his chair, his face turning pale saying, “what are we going to do about this project? The timing is too strained and Gu Dong, you’ve brought back a hot potato! If we refuse it, I’m afraid we might not have another chance like this in the future. If we accept it, I’m afraid we might get scorched. You shouldn’t have mentioned this opportunity in the first place.”

“We have to face it.”

Gu Dong sighed softly. She regretted mentioning the offer to Lin Yuan, but what was done was done. Could they go back on it now?

Not long after.

News of Lin Yuan signing the new contract had spread like wildfire throughout the company, causing an uproar among their team:

A three-million-dollar order? Completed in one month?”

“Thunderbolt Entertainment truly lives up to its name as a big company. This one deal is equal to so many of our past ones. But are they kidding about the one-month timeframe?”

“I’m freaking out!”

“Given just one month, what are the odds that Mr. Lin can produce songs worth three million that satisfy their requirements?”

“Fifty percent?”

“Buddy, you’re too optimistic. If it were fifty percent, that’d be great. But I don’t even think it’s thirty percent. The penalty is three hundred thousand! If the company can’t complete it, what’s going to happen in the future…”

“Stop talking, the more you talk the more scared I get. Is the company going to go bankrupt? Am I going to lose my job? I think Mr. Lin only has a success rate of ten percent.”

‘If this contract pulls through, the company is going to make a fortune! We could afford to loaf around for a few months. They always say that the Maestro doesn’t take orders for three years, but when he does, we feast for three! Mr. Lin seems to be following the Maestro’s footsteps!”

“If anyone’s being pessimistic, wake them up.”

“Don’t blame Mr. Lin for being rash. He’s probably desperate, so that’s why he agreed to this deal. After all, there aren’t many people who could meet their requirements. Although I also think this deal is very risky, I would also not hesitate to accept if Thunderbolt Entertainment slapped a deal worth three million in front of me, asking me to compose a song. I’d definitely… not dare to grab it.”

“Dang.”

“It’s not about daring to take it or not, it’s about not having the confidence, and mostly not having the ability. To write a song worth three million in a month is even too demanding for a gold medal, not to mention customizing it to their specific requirements.”

The entire company’s feelings were complex.

Everyone was excited about landing a three million contract, yet worried about the inability to complete it.

The former was merely a balm, look, our small and broken down company was also hit by a three million deal!

The latter, which was highly likely, left them wondering If the manager was prepared for the three hundred thousand penalty.

They weren’t doubting Lin Yuan. “Jiang Hu Laughs” had already proven a lot. However, even though Mr. Lin had previously managed to complete “Jiang Hu Laughs” at an almost terrifying speed, anyone with common sense knew that such swift song creation was an exception!

Songwriting is a meticulous job.

The three-million-dollar order would obviously have very high quality demands for the song. Completing this level of composition within a month is an absolute hellish difficulty!
