Chapter 384 - 384 359 Situation Arises

384: Chapter 359: Situation Arises 384: Chapter 359: Situation Arises Returning home, Liu Hun didn’t expect Shu Qingya to suddenly pull such a move on him.

He was determined to take over the Music Producer Association, which was his “ATM” machine.

As long as he became the chairman, he could get in touch with all the talented musicians in Huaxia and use their talents to help himself create star artists.

Without this channel and facing isolation from the three major giants, producing albums and writing lyrics and tunes would become an extremely difficult task.

“Phew!” Liu Hun, feeling somewhat irritable, loosened his tie.

Until now, he still hadn’t thought of any good ideas.

“Squeak!” Liu Hun plopped down on the sofa and suddenly felt his rear land on something.

Picking it up, he saw it was a contract.

“When was this contract from?

How did it get thrown here?” Liu Hun was a bit puzzled.

By all accounts, contracts were generally treated very carefully.

Looking at it closely, a smile gradually spread across his face.

The next day, the Council of the Music Producer Association was held as scheduled.

Shu Qingya, in a peony-adorned white cheongsam, looked exceptionally graceful and elegant, her makeup adding an extra touch of allure.

However, when she saw the expression on Liu Hun’s face as he walked in…something seemed off.

After everyone had arrived, the five members of Cage Band also took their seats on the side.

Liu Hun deliberately glanced at Mu Jin beside him, he was quite concerned that this woman might cause more trouble.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep my promise,” Mu Jin seemed to notice Liu Hun’s gaze and quietly assured him.

If Liu Hun hadn’t been caught up in something even more important yesterday, he surely would have taken the time to investigate Mu Jin.

But given the lack of time, he had to provisionally trust her.

“I say, Chairman Shu, when is that Chang what’s-his-name coming?

Surely we don’t all have to wait for him,” Bai Ge asked with evident impatience.

“Sorry for making you wait, I’m here!” Chang Hechun arrived at the office door before Shu Qingya could respond.

Dressed in a dark blue suit and a red tie, his hair tidy and symmetrical, he looked as presentable as ever, showing no signs of his recent mad biting spree in the courtroom.

“Director Chang, please take a seat,” Shu Qingya said to Chang Hechun, making observers feel somewhat puzzled; Shu Qingya didn’t seem to have a very good attitude towards him.

The atmosphere in the office was very strange.

Different factions were vying for what seemed like a purely titular yet lucrative chairman position, but each person had their own interests and thoughts, compromising in their own ways.

“Alright!

Since everyone is here, let’s officially start the election for the new term!

The first step is to nominate the candidates!” Shu Qingya, not wanting any delays, quickly declared the start.

It was still only Shu Qingya, Jia Tianhao, and Liu Hun who stepped forward to run, and there was nothing particularly out of the ordinary about the proceedings.

“Now that the nominations are over, let’s move on to raise hands,” Shu Qingya said with a smile on her face.

She intended to quash the momentum of Jia Tianhao and Liu Hun in one fell swoop, “So let’s start with…”

“Wait!

I think it’s better to start with me!” Jia Tianhao interrupted Shu Qingya, insisting that the hand-raising begin with him.

With the situation seemingly in her control, Shu Qingya generously said to Jia Tianhao, “Then let’s start with you.

Now, directors who support Jia Tianhao for chairman, please raise your hands!”

Jia Tianhao was the first to raise his hand, followed closely by Bai Ge, who also lifted his hand, and Mu Jin, as ever, followed without exception.

“Three votes?

Quite confident, aren’t we, Producer Jia?” Shu Qingya asked Jia Tianhao.

“I also cast a vote!”

What stunned everyone was that Lin Songbai, who yesterday hadn’t supported Jia Tianhao at all, raised his hand!

Liu Hun’s eyes turned icy as he stared at Lin Songbai, but he listened as Lin Songbai said, “Since we can raise hands more than once, this should be within the rules, right?”

Everyone understood immediately; Lin Songbai was clearly imitating Mu Jin from yesterday, by voting for both Jia Tianhao and Liu Hun.

“Vice-Chairman Lin is correct, so…I also cast a vote for Jia Tianhao,” Ou Ye followed suit and raised his hand.

Liu Hun hadn’t expected that after yesterday’s meeting, not only he but also Jia Tianhao had put in much effort, and Mu Jin’s actions gave Lin Songbai and Ou Ye a loophole to exploit, benefiting from both ends.

“Five votes!

Not bad, Producer Jia!

Any more?” Shu Qingya asked around with a smile still on her face, completely unconcerned about the back-and-forth death grip between Jia Tianhao and Liu Hun, as their struggle ultimately wouldn’t harm her interests.

“So the Council can be played like this?!

Really interesting.

We’ll also cast a vote just for kicks!” The bassist and guitarist brothers of Cage Band decided to stir up trouble at this point, and it was clear from their joking expressions that there were significant interests behind their actions.

“What are you two doing?” Lead singer Chen Jie couldn’t help but lower his voice and ask the two brothers.

“Just another sum of money, don’t get so worked up,” the bassist said to Chen Jie.

“Seven votes!

How about that?!

Chairman Shu isn’t too shabby, huh!” Jia Tianhao arrogantly said to Shu Qingya.

A flash of anger passed across Shu Qingya’s face.

She hadn’t expected two members of the Cage Band to be taking money from both sides.

However, in the presence of everyone, she couldn’t question or reprimand them; she could only silently swallow her pride.

Chang Hechun hadn’t anticipated such a result either, but facing the prospect of jail, he had lost the ability to control the Cage Band and could only turn a blind eye.

“Congratulations to Jia Tianhao on being elected Chairman of the Council!

Congratulations!” Bai Ge jumped out at this moment, cupping his hands towards Jia Tianhao in congratulation.

Jia Tianhao, looking very pleased with himself, said to Bai Ge, “Thanks to Councilor Bai, I think the first thing I want to do after being elected is to initiate reforms.”

“Councilor Jia, don’t get too ahead of yourself.

The voting isn’t over yet!” Shu Qingya couldn’t stand Jia Tianhao’s odious smugness, nor could she tolerate her carefully planned and arranged schemes failing.

“Then let’s continue!

I’ll just watch how you turn the tables!” Jia Tianhao gestured for Shu Qingya to continue voting.

Shu Qingya, with an unfriendly look in her eyes, glanced at the Cage Band and continued, “Now, I ask the Council members to raise their hands for me!

Thank you!” With that, Shu Qingya was the first to raise her hand.

Then Chang Hechun also raised his hand, followed by the Cage Band’s lead vocalist, drummer, and electric guitarist…

“Five votes!

Hahaha…”

As Jia Tianhao laughed triumphantly, the bassist and guitarist also raised their hands.

Their action interrupted Jia Tianhao’s laughter, turning his mocking laugh into the butt of the joke!

“Snort!

Gigglegigglegiggle…” Mu Jin couldn’t help laughing out loud, then taunted Jia Tianhao, “Looks like I’ve set a rather poor example.

I wonder what we should do with seven votes to seven?”

Jia Tianhao glared fiercely at Mu Jin; he knew these two brothers had also taken money from both sides.

“Whew!” Shu Qingya let out a heavy sigh of relief.

The money she had thrown had not been in vain after all, managing to end in a draw.

Calming herself, Shu Qingya said to everyone, “Since it’s a tie, we should decide on the Chairman by another method.”

“I object!”

Just as everyone’s gaze turned to Shu Qingya, Liu Huyi, sitting in a corner, spoke up, and that’s when everyone realized that no one had raised their hand for Liu Huyi.

“Chairman Shu, I seem to have been nominated, haven’t I?” Liu Huyi questioned Shu Qingya.

“Liu Huyi!

The people you bribed have all turned against you!

Why even bother casting a vote?

I’ll say it again, just like yesterday!

If you can become the Chairman, I’ll crawl out of here like a dog, and from then on, I’ll quit the Council!” Bai Ge taunted Liu Huyi.

“Count me in!” Jia Tianhao then also stood up and said, “Liu Huyi, you think you can play games with me?

Do you have the guts?

Just like a dog can never outsmart a human!”

“I agree with your last sentence!

Let’s try it!” Liu Huyi retorted to Jia Tianhao.

“Cough cough!

Excuse me, Councilor Liu!

Let’s now proceed with the vote for Councilor Liu.

Those in favor of Councilor Liu being elected Chairman, please raise your hand!” Shu Qingya said to all the Council members.

Sitting nearest the door and farthest from Liu Huyi, Chang Hechun’s eyes were the most venomous.

He had experienced this man’s tactics and prowess and therefore decided not to engage in quick-witted banter like the foolish Bai Ge and Jia Tianhao.

Liu Huyi was, of course, the first to raise his hand, casting his own vote.

Mu Jin followed suit and raised her hand.

Now penniless, Ou Ye had just taken a million from Jia Tianhao yesterday.

Not daring to forget the 50 million IOU from Liu Huyi, he too raised his hand.

Lin Songbai felt the same; harboring resentment towards Liu Huyi, even after receiving a million from Jia Tianhao yesterday, he reluctantly raised his hand, concerned about what Liu Huyi held over him.

“Still only these four people!

Liu Huyi, you’re indeed a dumb pig!

Don’t you realize the number has changed?

The Council now has thirteen members!

And you still want to play against me!” Jia Tianhao jeered at Liu Huyi with a derisive smile.

“Looks like you’re the one who can’t count!

Stupidity indeed!

I’ll show your true colors in a moment!” Liu Huyi cocked his chin, signaling Jia Tianhao to look in that direction.

Everyone was stunned, and Jia Tianhao even rubbed his eyes, unwilling to believe what he was seeing—the entire five members of the Cage Band had raised their hands!

“What are you doing?” Shu Qingya couldn’t pretend to be noble and composed any longer and immediately blew up, shouting at the five members of the Cage Band.

She hadn’t expected that the people she had brought in, the people she had paid, would cast their votes for Liu Huyi.

Beside the Cage Band, Chang Hechun’s eyes bulged, asking the five, “You…

you actually voted for Liu Huyi?!

Are you out of your mind?!

Put your hands down right now!

Down!”

Chang Hechun tried to pull down the hand of lead vocalist Liu Jie but was repulsed by Liu Jie’s disgusted shove and then a contract was thrown in Chang Hechun’s face, “We do have a problem with our brains, not realizing you’d be ruthless enough to sign such a contract!

You sold all five of us out!

You deserve to go to jail!”
