Actually, Cat Brother has been really good to Tang Feng. He has never been late in paying his salary, and when Tang Feng was short of money, he even advanced part of it. Cat Brother always gave it to Tang Feng without a second thought. Over time, the two of them became friends.
When Cat Brother saw Tang Feng's reply, he thought something had happened and replied, "Fengzi, is something wrong? Tell Cat Brother, if it's about money, I can't promise much, but a few thousand yuan I can manage."
Seeing Cat Brother's reply, Tang Feng was deeply moved. The two had never met in person, but the friendship and trust they had built were extremely rare.
Tang Feng pondered for a moment and replied, "Cat Brother, it's not that. It's like this, I work part-time as a host at Starlight Show, and I wrote a couple of songs. It turns out that Reku is interested and plans to sign my songs, so... no matter what, I still want to thank Cat Brother for your past care."
"Are you serious, kid?" Cat Brother replied, somewhat disbelieving.
"I wouldn't lie to you, Cat Brother! Really, I'm signing the contract tomorrow, so I probably won't be taking that job recently," Tang Feng typed.
"Good for you, kid, I didn't know you had this talent!" Cat Brother replied.
"Cat Brother, are you mad at me?" Tang Feng replied.
"Am I the kind of person who would be mad? I'm happy for you, but if you really become famous, don't forget about me, Cat Brother!" Cat Brother replied.
"How could I? If it weren't for Cat Brother's care, I might have already gone back home to open a grocery store!" Tang Feng said, feeling grateful.
"Alright, since you're not taking the job, I'll find someone else. When your songs are really up, don't forget to tell Cat Brother, I'll support you!" Cat Brother replied.
"Thank you, Cat Brother!" Tang Feng replied.
"Alright, that's it for now, I'm waiting for your good news!"
...
After chatting with Cat Brother, Tang Feng opened the video editor and imported the video file from the live stream on New Year's Day. Then he removed the Starlight Show logo.
Next, Tang Feng picked up his phone, found the text message from Xiao Zhu, and located the phone number of the Youdou Video editor. As for Starlight Video, Tang Feng skipped it. Originally, if the guy from Starlight Show hadn't been so arrogant, Tang Feng would have definitely chosen to work with Starlight Group, but now he had no love for Starlight Show.
Although he was still a nobody, he wasn't someone to be bullied. In fact, he had always been puzzled by why Yan Jianghua would act that way, as it would definitely be bad for Starlight Show if the news got out.
"Hello, Youdou Video Content Department, who is this?" a female voice came from the receiver, neither humble nor arrogant, but polite.
"Is this Editor Liu from Youdou Video? I'm Tang Feng!" Tang Feng said.
"Tang Feng?" the voice in the receiver sounded a bit puzzled.
"Are you Feng Shao? Hello, hello! Is this your phone number? You finally called!" Liu Yue said, somewhat excitedly.
To be honest, Tang Feng was a bit pleased. He could tell from her voice that she was taking him seriously, and it felt good.
"Yes, this is my phone number!" Tang Feng said.
"Here's the thing, Feng Shao, your live stream was fantastic. I wanted our editor-in-chief to see it too, but I found that your live stream room was closed," Liu Yue said, speaking the truth. She had indeed tried to do that, but found that Tang Feng's live stream room was closed.
She had thought that Tang Feng might have been preempted by someone from Starlight Group, but she didn't expect him to call.
"By the way, Feng Shao, do you intend to release your video on a video website?" Liu Yue continued.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have called you, right?" Tang Feng said.
"That's good. By the way, Feng Shao, have you already worked with other video websites?" Liu Yue asked.
"Not yet!" Tang Feng shook his head.
"Feng Shao, are you in Beijing now? If possible, I'd like to meet you in person. How about that?" Liu Yue said, somewhat delighted.
"Yes, I'm in Beijing, and I can meet in person," Tang Feng pondered for a moment and said.
"Feng Shao, how about tomorrow afternoon?" Liu Yue asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon? I'm afraid that won't work. If it's convenient for you, how about tomorrow evening? I'm free tomorrow evening," Tang Feng thought about the visit to Reku headquarters and the signing tomorrow, and pushed it to the evening.
"Tomorrow evening, then we'll contact you tomorrow evening?" Liu Yue said.
"Sure! See you tomorrow evening!" Tang Feng said.
...
The next day, at noon, Tang Feng opened the website of the Music Association, entered the account he registered yesterday, and checked. As expected, all the songs he submitted had been certified. Tang Feng downloaded all the electronic copyright certificates and copied them to a USB drive.
He called Liu Jie and told him the situation. Liu Jie was very happy to hear that Tang Feng's songs had been certified and arranged to meet at Reku headquarters in the afternoon.
After lunch, Tang Feng found a print shop and printed out the electronic copyright certificates and electronic contracts. Then he took a taxi to Reku headquarters with these documents.
When he arrived at the Reku headquarters building, Tang Feng called Liu Jie.
Soon, a short-haired, efficient man appeared at the Reku headquarters building.
"Feng Shao?"
"Editor Liu?"
They both spoke at the same time.
"Hello, hello!" Liu Jie extended his hand warmly to shake hands with Tang Feng.
"Feng Shao, please follow me!" Liu Jie gestured.
Soon, Tang Feng was led into the Reku headquarters building by Liu Jie.
As one of the leading digital music websites in the country, Reku Music covers various departments, including music production, distribution, and publicity, and has its own office building.
"This is the publicity department..."
"This is the network department... our editors also work here."
"Here is the publicity and distribution department!"
"Here is the music production department, with top-notch recording equipment and studios in the country..."
After a quick tour of the Reku headquarters building, they finally arrived at a reception room and sat down.
"Feng Shao, what would you like to drink?" Liu Jie asked.
"Green tea!" Tang Feng said. Liu Jie brought a bottle of green tea for Tang Feng and one for himself.
After sitting down, Liu Jie smiled and asked, "Feng Shao, how do you feel?"
"Very impressive, truly a renowned Reku Music!" Tang Feng gave a thumbs up.
"Ha ha! Although Reku Music is not as big as Starlight Group, we are not inferior to them in the digital music industry," Liu Jie said.
"..."
After a few casual chats, Liu Jie changed the subject and got to the point, "Feng Shao, did you bring the copies of the copyright certificates?"
"Yep! I brought them all!" Tang Feng said, taking out the copies of the copyright certificates, ID card, and electronic contract and handing them to Liu Jie.
