Chapter 251 Talking about Compensation
Unlike Dajiang's reservedness, Jiang Jiayue's face showed reluctance.
Her outfit today was also very different. Last time in the hotel lobby, she was wearing a pink puffy skirt and her hair was pinned up with a taffeta bow, looking like a student who had just reached adulthood.
This time, she was wearing a suit skirt, also light pink, with a knee-length skirt. Her legs were wrapped in white stockings, and she was wearing Mary Jane shoes with pearl laces. She looked delicate yet dignified.
Xu Yang shook hands with Jiang Chenghui, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Let's get straight to the point and talk directly."
"Your daughter's act of leaking the program schedule and music scores to the festival's participating singers is truly despicable. It violates the festival's conventions and is unfair to other contestants, especially Li Jiahao, who is competing with Ike Wang Beibei."
Xu Yang was sitting facing the window, and the sunlight turned his pupils amber, like some large beast.
Jiang Chenghui, who was sitting opposite, felt a sense of oppression. Xu Yang's directness made him swallow even the words of greeting.
"Your daughter was definitely wrong about this, Yueyue!"
Jiang Chenghui turned his head and said, "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Xu."
Jiang Jiayue stood up, clutching the corner of her clothes nervously with both hands. "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I shouldn't have leaked the news about the show to Ike and Wang Beibei. I hope you can forgive me."
After she finished speaking, she bowed quickly, her expression and attitude showing perfunctory attitude.
Xu Yang frowned: "That's all?"
"if not?"
Jiang Jiayue raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
If her father hadn't said he would deduct all her pocket money if she didn't apologize, she wouldn't have come!
Damn Xu Yang, don’t push your luck!
Xu Yang reached out and knocked on the table: "You don't seem to understand. You are biased towards Ike Wang Beibei, which is unfair to Li Jiahao. He is the one you should apologize to, not me."
"Then Li Jiahao isn't here either. Do you want me to apologize to the air?"
Mei smiled and explained, "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang. Jiahao's music for the show has been leaked, so he has to rush to create a new song. He can't be there today. But even if he wasn't there, I would convey Miss Jiang's apologies to him."
The implication is that this apology has to be given even if it doesn't need to be said!
Jiang Chenghui kicked her shoes under the table and said, "Yueyue, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Li Jiahao."
Jiang Jiayue bit her lip reluctantly, muttering to herself, "This is all for pocket money," and then bent down towards the empty chair next to Sister Mei.
"Mr. Li Jiahao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have leaked your program information!"
Sister Mei nodded: "We accept Miss Jiang's apology, but the damage has already been done. Let's talk about compensation."
"We would like to understand and change the order of Li Jiahao's performances, as well as Ike and Wang Beibei's. Finally, we would like to add another performance for Li Jiahao. Mr. Jiang, what do you think..."
At this point, Xu Yang nudged her with his knee under the table.
Sister Mei paused and looked inquiringly.
"There's no need to add more programs for Li Jiahao."
Xu Yang thought that the duration of the music festival was limited. If a program was added, one singer's program would inevitably be deleted.
No matter whose program is deleted to allow Li Jiahao to show his face, it will offend Li Jiahao.
Instead of adding more programs, it would be better to cut out Ike and Wang Beibei's programs, and finally have each of them perform once to achieve a fair competition effect.
It seems that neither Li Jiahao nor Ike benefited from this, but Jiale Milk Tea, the organizer of the music festival, was relieved because according to the regulations, Ike and Li Jiahao could only have one performance each.
Otherwise, if Ike appears too many times, audiences who like other singers may not buy into it.
Letting Jiale Milk Tea benefit is a disguised way of giving convenience to Li Jiahao.
Sister Mei whispered, "What do you want if you don't add more programs?"
"We'll delete Ike Wang Beibei's performance. Besides that, our people will be responsible for the accompaniment and instruments for Li Jiahao's performance. This will not only maintain confidentiality, but also ensure that there will be no accidents during the performance."
Sister Mei's eyes rolled and she soon revealed a satisfied smile.
Her negotiation skills were always steady, so Xu Yang had nothing to worry about. He stood up and said, "Let Sister Mei take care of the compensation. I'll be leaving first. I hope Mr. Jiang doesn't mind."
"Of course I don't mind, Mr. Xu, please do as you please."
Jiang Chenghui said this and gave a look to Dajiang, who looked like a quail.
Dajiang stood up hurriedly: "Well, I want to go to the bathroom, you guys chat first."
As soon as Xu Yang entered his office, Da Jiang opened the door and poked his head out, asking like a thief: "Brother Yang?"
"go with!"
Xu Yang quickly stepped forward and blocked the door: "Don't come to me, didn't you say your family opened a milk tea shop? You didn't even tell me that Jiale Milk Tea had opened in Southeast Asia!"
Da Jiang pushed the door with his foot and struggled, "Then you said your father was a movie theater showrunner, but it turns out half of the theaters in Jianghai City are owned by your family. I treated you like a brother and invited you to the movies, and you made a lot of money from me!"
"Ah this..."
Xu Yang choked, remembering that when he was in high school, he had often claimed to others that Xu Haixing was just an ordinary movie projectionist.
"Okay, we're even!" After saying that, Xu Yang opened the door.
Dajiang, who was secretly competing with him, suddenly lost the support of the door panel and fell to the ground with a scream.
Xu Yang was in a dilemma, neither extending his hand nor not extending it. Finally, he frowned and said, "You're still the same!"
A few minutes later, the two sat on the sofa, each holding a cup of coffee.
Xu Yang looked Da Jiang up and down and asked curiously, "How come I've never heard you mention Jiang Jiayue as your sister? Besides, you have the same name, so how do your parents call you and your sister?"
"My sister and I are twins, a boy and a girl. She was born just a few minutes earlier than me. As for her name..."
Dajiang smiled bitterly. Jiang Jiayue was thin when she was born, so her parents loved her more since she was a child. They even gave her a name, and the younger brother could just call her any name.
"My parents were too lazy to come up with a name, so my sister was called Yueyue. They always called me "son" or my full name."
It's strange that he calls his full name. When he got into trouble, his father called him a "bastard" and a "rebellious son" on the phone!
Xu Yang uttered an "oh," then recalled what Renault had said yesterday and reminded him, "Tell your sister to have less contact with Ike in the future. I suspect Ike has been taking drugs, but that's just a suspicion."
Dajiang was startled.
He always thought that drug addicts only existed abroad, but he didn't expect that there were drug addicts in China as well. Not only that, but they were people around him!
He'd even seen those drug addicts go crazy. They'd do anything to get enough money for drugs...
"I'll go and warn my sister, but how did Brother Yang find out?"
Xu Yang shrugged. "I don't have that ability. It was Renault who guessed. Look, that tall foreigner outside. He said that only a hair test can confirm whether someone has taken drugs."
