Chapter 2055 The Queen Returns (13)

Su Yan's album was officially released, but only 50,000 copies were sold on the first day, and most of them were bought by her die-hard fans.

Everyone in the company remained calm and went about their business as usual, neither spending more money on promotion nor arranging any announcements for Su Yan.

Even the trainees in the company knew that Su Yan had released a new album, but it had only sold 50,000 copies.

"Have you heard? Our company's Su Tianhou released a new album, but it only sold 50,000 copies, which is not even a fraction of what others have sold."

“I knew this company was no good. You can tell just by looking at the houses where we trainees live. We live in flat-roofed houses. I heard that other companies provide villas.”

"What? A villa? The conditions are that good?"

"Absolutely! The villa has all kinds of delicious food, and I get a high salary every month. I really regret it; I wish I hadn't come to this company in the first place."

"Then let's terminate the contract. Anyway, the termination fee isn't high, only 100,000. If we go to the company next door, 100,000 will only take two months."

"The company next door might not want us."

"Don't worry, I know people who can help us. We'll go together, and they'll definitely accept it."

"Okay, I'll go home and ask my parents for money so I can terminate my contract with this lousy company as soon as possible."

"I'll go back and ask for the money too."

Before leaving, Li Wei asked Lu Jiuzhou if he was coming too.

Lu Jiuzhou shook his head and said, "I think this place is fine. I'm too lazy to make any changes. I suggest you reconsider."

Li Wei: "There's nothing to consider. Anyone with eyes can see which company is better. If you don't want to go, that's fine. If you can't make it in the future, you can come to me. Consider it a friendship we formed during our training together."

Yanxing Tianxia only recruited five trainees, and now four of them are preparing to leave, leaving only Lu Jiuzhou diligently practicing singing and dancing.

After they all left, Lu Jiuzhou continued to practice the dance steps taught by his teacher.

He danced until he was drenched in sweat, looking at the empty dance studio. He thought how wonderful it would be if he could have this huge dance studio all to himself from now on.

When Su Yan returned to the company, she heard that the trainees she had previously signed were going to break their contracts.

"Take this contract away. Our company doesn't bother to train someone who hasn't even achieved anything yet."

"Yes."

"By the way, the villa complex our company bought should be ready by now. Let Lu Jiuzhou move into one of them."

"He lives alone?"

"It was originally bought to be used as staff dormitory. He's lucky now that everyone else has left, he can live in a building by himself. That's part of his luck."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After the artist management manager left, he sent someone to inform Liu Jiuzhou to move into the newly planned staff dormitory.

Lu Jiuzhou moved into a new villa. He lives alone in such a large villa, which has a gym, a KTV entertainment room, a mahjong room, a flower room, and a sauna.

Such a nice villa is being used as staff quarters? The conditions are just too good!

Previously, Li Wei and his friends had told him that the entertainment company next door offered good conditions and high salaries, but he felt that there was no such thing as a free lunch and resolutely refused.

Now, Yanxing Tianxia is even using villas as employee dormitories. Are dormitory conditions really that good now?

It is said that an English teacher will be hired to teach him English, because he will be able to speak English in order to stand on the international stage in the future. Fans will also like a talented and knowledgeable idol more.

Li Wei and the others paid the company 100,000 yuan in breach of contract fees and happily went to work as trainees at the company next door.

After signing the contract, I thought I would be moving into a villa, but it turned out to be just an ordinary apartment building.

"Didn't they say we could stay in villas?"

Their agent laughed and said, "You're dreaming. That's for established artists. You're still unknown, and you want to live in a villa? You'd be lucky to live in an apartment. Don't be so ambitious. Focus on achieving results first."

The group thought it made sense; they hadn't achieved anything yet, and the company didn't trust them. Living in an apartment for the time being was fine, as it was better than the staff dormitory at Yanxing Tianxia.

They could only console themselves, and some even sent videos to Lu Jiuzhou, trying to persuade him to come over as well.

"Look at our apartment, it's much more spacious than the staff dormitory we used to live in. Why don't you come and become a trainee with us?"

Lu Jiuzhou held his phone and gave a perfunctory "uh-huh."

The person opposite him had sharp eyes and suddenly realized that he wasn't in the small dormitory room where five people used to share. He quickly asked, "Where are you? This doesn't look like the dormitory to us."

Lu Jiuzhou casually patted the surrounding environment and then said, "This is the employee dormitory that the company just arranged. It turns out that the company bought a villa complex as employee dormitories a long time ago. It was just that they were cleaning and buying furniture before. Who told you to be in such a hurry? You could have lived in a villa if you had waited a little longer. Now I live alone, and it feels rather lonely."

"what!"

Li Wei and the others were filled with regret. If they had known the company had this arrangement, they would have stopped making a fuss.

"You live alone in such a big villa?"

"Yes, there's an auntie who cooks all three meals a day, and we can also eat at the company. I think it's pretty good."

The four quickly took out the contract and discovered that the penalty for breach of contract was one million.

What? Why is the penalty for breach of contract so high?

Li Wei could only comfort the other three: "Don't worry, once we achieve something, we can also live in villas. Right now, our salaries are much higher than Lu Jiuzhou's. No matter how nice his house is, without a salary, it's still nothing."

"Yes, yes, our minimum salary starts at 10,000, which is several times higher than his."

They soon found out why they were paid so much: the company required them to entertain guests.

"We're here to learn singing and dancing so we can become idols, not to drink with people."

"What's with the high and mighty attitude? Without these bosses' investment, you'd be nothing but trash idols. Hurry up and go toast these bosses, make them happy, and you'll be more than just idols, you could even become superstars."

"But......"

"That's bullshit. Hurry up and go, or the company will freeze you out. Let's see if you'll still be daydreaming."

The four had no choice but to go and drink and sing with those fat, greasy female tycoons.

Lu Jiuzhou, on the other hand, attends classes and dances alone every day, making it seem as if the teacher is a private tutor hired specifically for him.

At this time, after a period of time, Su Yan's songs were released and many people heard them through various channels. They were amazed and began to buy Su Yan's albums on their own initiative.

In just one week, Su Yan's record sales exceeded two million copies.

Qu Song and Hu Mianmian, who were waiting to see Su Yan make a fool of herself, learned that her record sales had exceeded two million copies, making it a platinum record.

This album sold more than any of her previous albums, and with this comeback, she will likely be able to solidify her position quickly, and even surpass her previous achievements.

Two million copies sold is just the result of a single week; as time goes on, her records will only sell more and more.

Moreover, all ten songs on the album have made it onto the music charts, and now her songs are playing everywhere. It seems she's about to experience a career resurgence.
