Seeing that Huo Sanyan was a decent producer, Jing Xi felt very relieved. But she had to be frank with her now.
âThank you so much, Ms. Huo, for giving me this great opportunity. Iâm impressed by you and your corporate culture. But I do apologize as I cannot sign any contract with you right now.â
Huo Sanyan thought she was not making herself clear enough, so she added, âWe havenât even talked about your pay and benefits...are you sure you donât want to hear anything further?â
âNo, donât take this the wrong way. Itâs because Iâm currently in a two-year contract.â
Jing Xi lowered her head and became silent for a while. Then she looked up and spoke again. âIâm not telling you a lie. Iâm currently in a contract with Longwei. I was cheated. But I have to work for them for another two years. Otherwise, they wonât let me get away with it.â
âWhat? Youâve got a contract with Longwei?â Huo Sanyan was shocked. âWhat did you sing for them?â
She did have a crazy doubt. But she did not say it.
âThe Forgotten Sea, Lover Throughout Time, Barely Love, Twin Flowers, and a few more under production.â
âOh my!â
Huo Sanyan was right. That was why she found Jin Xiaoxiâs voice similar to Evening Starâs. They belonged to the same person.
She could not believe that Longwei was wasting her talent and using her as a ghost singer. It was absolutely unfair to her.
âVery good. So you are the actual Evening Star, arenât you? They replaced you with another singer because of how you look?â
Huo Sanyan got a bit annoyed and wanted to stand up for her.
âYes.â Jing Xi nodded.
So it was clear now. Jin Xiaoxi already had a few songs released under the name Evening Star. They were extremely popular, which proved that the public did like her voice.
Now Huo Sanyan would like to offer her a way better salary and re-market her as herself.
She would be promoted for who she was. Because she was so unique.
âNo worries. As long as you are willing to leave Longwei and join Kaidi, just tell me what you want. Iâll have our professional marketing team work it out for you and help you make your own music.â
Huo Sanyan gave her promise.
Jing Xi still felt uncertain. âI get your point. But Longwei is not letting me go. Otherwise, Iâll either be sued or have to pay an eight million dollar penalty for breaking the contract.â
âTheyâve gone too far!â Huo Sanyan could not help cursing and pounding on the desk.
Longwei was trying to control Jin Xiaoxi and squeeze her. It was outrageous!
Since Jin Xiaoxi used to be her nephewâs nanny, she had to help this woman out.
âMiss Jin, no worries. I will arrange for a lawyer to go with you to Longwei tomorrow and help you settle the contract. In terms of the eight million dollars, Kaidi will pay it for you. Rest assured!â Huo Sanyan claimed resolutely.
âThank you! Thank you, Ms. Huo!â
Jing Xi almost burst into tears. She was most fortunate to meet someone like Huo Sanyan who valued and respected her.
Huo Sanyan never failed to keep her promise. On the following day she got a lawyer from Estan and had him accompany Jing Xi to Longwei.
