Chapter 580: Performance Canceled
On the day Lu Jihan and Song Yinyin got their marriage certificate, a major event occurred at the Symphony Orchestra headquarters. The orchestra owner, James, suddenly fled with public funds and is currently missing.The orchestra members have all signed long-term contracts with the orchestra. Besides their fixed salaries, profits from performances are settled afterward.
Previously, due to financial issues, James had already delayed their salaries, and now he has taken away all the profits that the members were supposed to receive. It’s imaginable how panicked everyone is...
With no salary, how can they even think about performing?
Not to mention the members are so unsettled, even the manager, Allen, is troubled by this.
Song Yinyin was also startled after hearing it.
"What should we do?"
"It seems we have to discuss this with Mr. Lu from Mainland Group to see if he can pay the members’ performance fees in advance."
"How can that be?!"
Song Yinyin immediately replied.
As far as she knows, Mainland Group has already paid half of the performance fee in advance. According to the contract, the remaining half will be paid after the performance.
There’s no precedent for paying the entire performance fee in advance.
Even if Lu Jihan agrees, what if the Symphony Orchestra members raise other demands, what would happen to the performance then?
Just as she was feeling troubled, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and took away the phone in her hand.
At the same time, a man’s strong arm hooked around her slender waist and naturally pulled her into his embrace.
"Hello, Allen, it’s me, Lu Jihan."
Lu Jihan said calmly and coldly, his expression composed and unperturbed, as if he already knew about the situation and wasn’t the least bit flustered.
Feeling Song Yinyin looking at him, he turned back and gave a knowing smile, his calm yet warm smile seemed to say to her — don’t be afraid, I’m here.
Song Yinyin’s rapidly beating heart slowly returned to its place in his silent comfort, until it calmed down completely.
Then, she heard Lu Jihan continue the call with Allen: "Tell the members that I agree to pay them the full performance fee, but I also have a condition."
On the other end of the phone, Allen said excitedly, "Mr. Lu, what condition, please go ahead."
"Mainland Group is about to start its own orchestra. I hope all the members participating in this performance can be inducted into our Mainland Group’s team."
Allen was so excited he almost screamed when he heard this.
Originally, some of these instrumentalists were worried that their future performing careers would be affected because of James’s embezzlement and escape.
But now, Mainland Group proposed to sign a contract with them.
Everyone knows how strong Mainland Group’s comprehensive strength is now and how good its development prospects are. Being able to sign with them is, of course, something many people dream of.
Allen said happily, "Mr. Lu, I’ll convey all your words to the members, I’m sure there will be good news soon!"
"Okay, I’ll wait for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, a confident smile remained on Lu Jihan’s face.
Song Yinyin listened to the entire conversation, completely in awe of the man beside her.
She never thought that what seemed to be a major problem to her could be resolved so effortlessly by Lu Jihan.
And it has to be said, his eyesight is excellent.
The members she collaborated with were the most outstanding instrumentalists selected back then.
Incorporating them into Mainland Group will undoubtedly allow Mainland Group to expand even further in the field of artistic commercial performances.
