Carrie suddenly heard Harrison’s laughter behind her and swiftly turned around.
Seemingly unprepared for him to see her fierce side again, the brief flush on Carrie’s face vanished as she quickly regained her composure. Grabbing Harrison’s sleeve, she attempted to pull him upstairs.
“I can’t be bothered with these people. Let’s talk upstairs.”
Harrison didn’t object; as long as she was happy, it was fine.
Smack!
Another slap sounded from behind them.
Harrison turned around to see Young Thomas Su covering the other side of his face now.
Maxwell Campbell was cursing, “What the hell are you talking about? Who do you think you are? You have no damn face! Did I say anything? Is it your turn to butt in and reach out?”
After cursing, Maxwell Campbell noticed Harrison glancing back and hurriedly approached, smiling obsequiously: “Brother Harrison, Sister Carrie, please calm your anger. My subordinates lack keen vision. I’ve already taught them a lesson. For the sake of Global Entertainment Company, could you spare a few minutes to chat with us? I come with sincerity.”
Carrie snorted and didn’t want to bother. She subtly tugged at Harrison’s sleeve.
However, Harrison had his own considerations.
It seemed that they had to teach Maxwell Campbell a lesson. Otherwise, with his shamelessness and cunning, he might stick to him and Carrie.
So, let’s make it quick for him.
In fact, Harrison was not usually so tough without reason.
No matter what era, people need to mingle. The importance of connections goes without saying.
If it’s not necessary, Harrison wouldn’t want to make enemies with people easily.
But since Carrie didn’t like these people, and even took action—
The fact that the young white-faced Su dared to boldly stretch out his hand trying to grab Carrie’s shoulder, in Harrison’s view, it had already gone too far.
So, Harrison turned to Carrie and said, “Here’s my room key. You go ahead, I’ll talk with them for a few minutes.”
Carrie glanced at Harrison and then at Maxwell Campbell’s party. It was unclear what she was thinking, but she obediently turned and went upstairs alone.
Harrison walked with Maxwell Campbell through the hotel lobby, into the tea cafe, and found a corner to sit down.
Harrison sat first, right in the middle of a single row.
Maxwell Campbell sat directly opposite him next to the window. At Maxwell’s hint, Miss Liang sat next to him.
Young Thomas Su didn’t have a seat, so he just stood by the table, staring intently.
As for the other second-rate artists and staff from Global Entertainment, they didn’t even have the qualifications to come close.
“Get to the point. Speak directly, no beating around the bush.”
Harrison took out his phone, glanced at the time, indicating he was in a hurry.
Maxwell Campbell leaned slightly forward, “Mr. Clark, it seems you lack a watch that matches your status. My friend gave me a limited-edition Patek Philippe a few days ago…”
Harrison interrupted him, “Talk about the matter at hand, thank you.”
Frustrated, he really was short on time. Waiting for him to speak just so they could quickly and decisively reject him and crush his hopes.
Maxwell Campbell looked embarrassed and tried fishing, “I’ve heard about Mr. Clark’s musical talents for a long time, and I’ve admired you for a while, but we never had the chance to meet. Now that we’ve met in Carlisle, it’s a great coincidence. Representing the Global Entertainment Company, I would like to collaborate with Mr. Clark musically. Rest assured, the price will be absolutely fair.”
Harrison glanced at the Su and Liang next to him, “Who’s singing? Just these two?”
He wanted to say that they were ugly and defective, but both had a decent appearance. It seemed bad to slander them without reason.
Maxwell Campbell immediately started boasting, “Our company has strict standards for selecting artists. Although Little Liang and Little Su can’t be compared with Miss Carrie, among the new generation of singers…”
“Enough already. I not only choose money when selling songs but also the people. Inappropriate people, no matter how much money is offered, won’t be sold to. Otherwise, that would be ruining my songs.”
Harrison said with a sense of justice.
Although it was a plagiarized song, he still had some morals.
Bringing the classics of a future era here, then smashing them into a broken gong voice just because of a little money?
He wouldn’t be able to face the spirits of those creators whose works he plagiarized.
When instructing the company’s copyright department to sell songs, Harrison repeatedly emphasized that they shouldn’t sell casually just because an individual offered a lot of money. They must ensure that each buyer is the best possible one and avoid wasting valuable resources.
After a stern warning, Harrison looked at them coldly. Their current attitude wasn’t enough, and they still wouldn’t give up. They’d no doubt have a last trump card.
Rejection wouldn’t break Maxwell Campbell’s resolve without playing the last trump card.
As expected, Maxwell Campbell changed the topic.
He first looked back at the direction where Carrie went upstairs, then glanced left and right, and moved closer with a mysterious air, whispering something.
Left dumbstruck, Harrison was speechless for a long time, even forgetting to counter.
Mr. Clark’s mental state was somewhat explosive.
God knows where Maxwell Campbell got the rumors.
This bastard actually thought Harrison swings both ways!
Seeing Harrison let Carrie go upstairs with the room key, he thought he had understood something, so he came to a firm conclusion and blatantly revealed it.
He really intended to offer people.
Both the Su and Liang were offered.
Even the other few behind them, if Mr. Clark was interested, he could take them as he pleased, regardless of gender.
Maxwell Campbell spoke very politely, implying that the business deal’s success or failure wasn’t important; they could talk later, but they had to build a relationship first.
Harrison looked back and forth between the two sides..
