In the evening, a tightly wrapped figure walked in from the back door of the dance hall.
Sister Rong greeted her almost immediately.
Ye Ning slowly took off his hat, scarf, and thick cotton coat.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and after what happened a few days ago, Ye Ning is more cautious about keeping his identity secret.
"Ye Zi, the two people you mentioned are here."
Two days ago, Ye Ning specifically told Sister Rong that if someone named Xu Mingyu or Li Jianhua came to see her these days, Sister Rong must receive them and respond.
That's why Sister Rong has such an attitude towards them today.
Ye Ning's eyes lit up, it seemed that the speed of the two captains was not too slow.
"What did they say?"
Sister Rong repeated what the two of them had said to Ye Ning.
"When they left, they said that as long as you can write the songs they need, the price is negotiable."
Ye Ning suppressed a smile. It was obvious that the two captains planned to cause the art troupe to bleed.
However, she had already inquired, and there was an upper limit on the price that the art troupe could pay to create songs, and that upper limit was only one-third of the price given by Mu Wenhao.
Of course she doesn't care about the money.
"Okay. Please tell them, Sister Rong, that I agreed to let them come over to pick up the songs in five days."
She could only use this method to help the art troupe overcome this difficulty.
And if the art troupe really uses the songs she wrote, it will be extremely beneficial to her future development, so this can be regarded as a win-win cooperation.
Sister Rong nodded repeatedly.
She knew about Ye Ning's relationship with the art troupe, so she was not surprised at all when Ye Ning agreed to write songs for the people in the art troupe.
"Sister Rong, why don't you ask those two people about their identities?"
Ye Ning suddenly said this.
Sister Rong looked away guiltily and showed an embarrassed smile, "Ye Zi, to be honest with you, I have already reported this matter to my boss."
If someone from outside came to Ye Ning to buy songs, she wouldn't dare not report it to Mu Wenhao.
Mu Wenhao asked people to check Xu Mingyu and Li Jianhua on the spot, and soon learned their identities.
After saying that, Sister Rong carefully paid attention to Ye Ning's expression, fearing that she would be angry because of this.
In fact, Ye Ning had already thought that doing things in Mu Wenhao's territory would not be hidden from his eyes.
"What did Boss Mu say?"
"The boss said you are free to write songs for whomever you want. Just let me follow your orders." Sister Rong told the truth. Without Mu Wenhao's permission, she would not dare to do things for Ye Ning directly.
Ye Ning didn't expect Mu Wenhao to have such an attitude. In fact, even if Mu Wenhao didn't allow it, she would think of other ways.
Seeing that she was not angry, Sister Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'll contact Mr. Xu and the others first. What's the appropriate price?"
Sister Rong is very smart and knows that since Ye Ning writes songs for the art troupe as Ye Zi, she must be charged.
"Just ask them how much they can give you the most, and you can figure out the rest."
Obviously Ye Ning planned to leave this matter completely to Sister Rong.
"Okay." Sister Rong understood what Ye Ning meant, turned around and walked out.
There was still a little time before the performance on stage. Ye Ning took out a piece of paper and pen and quickly wrote down a lyric on it.
When Xu Mingyu received the call from Sister Rong, he was eating at home. When he heard Sister Rong say that Ye Zi had agreed to compose the new song they needed within a week, he was so excited that he didn't even eat, and rode his bicycle directly to Li Jianhua's house. And go.
The next day, Xu Mingyu and Li Jianhua appeared in Lin Qing's office together early in the morning.
Buying new songs to perform from outside composers has happened before, but this time they definitely decided to cut them first and then play them.
Lin Qing listened to their thoughts first and knew that he had made such a helpless move for the sake of this joint performance.
"Are you sure that Comrade Ye Zi can create good works?"
It is undeniable that this method is actually feasible.
"Since she agreed, she should be sure, but the compensation for writing songs is not low."
Xu Mingyu and Li Jianhua have discussed it. If the price offered by the group cannot meet Ye Zi's satisfaction, they can even pay some money out of their own pockets.
For the sake of the reputation of the art troupe, they all risked their lives.
Lin Qing asked: "Does the other party know that he is writing songs for our art troupe?"
"We didn't say our identities, but we asked her for a song, and she should be able to guess it."
Lin Qing's eyes flickered slightly when he heard Xu Mingyu's answer. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's see how the song goes first."
It is most reasonable to discuss whether the effect they want can really be achieved and then discuss the price.
Xu Mingyu and Li Jianhua said "Okay."
The two captains were obviously in a good mood during today's rehearsal, and they were both relaxed a lot.
This gives people an idea of the new song at a glance.
So after the rehearsal, everyone immediately gathered around gossiping.
"Team Li, have we decided on our new song?"
Almost everyone had a look of impatience on their faces.
"Almost." Li Jianhua's answer was conservative. After all, whether Ye Zi can write a good song in the end is still not 100% sure.
"Captain, so which composer is our new song this time?"
Zheng Shuyun has always been able to focus on the key points, and a simple question immediately silenced the surroundings.
Everyone pricked up their ears and waited to hear.
Li Jianhua looked at Xu Mingyu first, and then coughed dryly.
"It's Ye Zi."
The moment Ye Zi's name was spoken, the entire rehearsal hall exploded.
No one here didn't know who Ye Zi was, but they didn't expect that the two captains would find Ye Zi.
"Isn't Ye Zi a pillar of the Red Sea Song and Dance Hall?"
"Yeah, but she can also write songs, and the songs she writes are all very nice."
"But no matter what, she is from the dance hall. It would be inappropriate for our art troupe to find someone like this to write songs, right?"
Soon there were voices of doubt in the crowd.
Although today's society advocates equality for everyone, there are still high and low professions.
In the eyes of too many people, the Red Sea Dance Hall is a place for rich people to have fun. Even if the people who work there become famous like Tang Wanru and Ye Zi, they are still not worthy of recognition in their eyes.
Ye Ning listened to these people's discussions calmly.
She had already guessed that there would be such remarks, and this was one of the reasons why she wanted to cooperate with the art troupe.
She just wants to use her strength to eliminate all doubts and bad voices. Maybe one day she will leave the Red Sea Dance Hall, but maybe she can stand on the stage openly and tell everyone that Ye Ning is Ye Zi!
