Chapter 38 That's Just a High School Student

Monday morning.

Beijing, the headquarters of Changsheng Records, the general manager's office.

Zheng Changsheng took a few pages of music scores and looked at them casually, but he didn't pay attention to the paper at all, and even answered absently, "Oh, okay, I see, I'll take a closer look later... hey , wait! How much? You just said... How much did you pay for these songs?"

Although the producer Zhao Meifeng and sister Zhao were by her side, Liao Liao still seemed very guilty, especially Zheng Changsheng's performance made her even more guilty, she almost didn't dare to raise her head, and just whispered: "400,000."

Zhao Meifeng, who had already known what had happened, sighed slightly, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hands to cover her ears. Of course, this was in front of Mr. Zheng, she definitely couldn't do that, so she had no choice but to look away.

Zheng Changsheng stared wide-eyed for a moment, then he took a deep breath slowly.

"Liao! Liao!"

The roar came as expected.

Liao Liao shivered immediately - despite her usual carefree temper, she was also terrified of Zheng Changsheng's rant about Dafa.

But it is strange to say.

When she was still in Jinan, as soon as she woke up, the heat in her heart gradually receded, and she already understood what kind of situation she was about to face after returning to BJ. Since then, she began to feel anxious. She was so worried that she didn't even bother to look at the score when she returned to BJ's car, so she kept pulling the little assistant to discuss how to deal with Mr. Zheng's rant. Just for this, last night she Did not sleep well.

But at this time, when Boss Zheng roared out, she looked up at Zheng Changsheng whose face was already flushed, but suddenly felt less scared.

"Mr. Zheng, don't be angry, just listen to me..."

"What the hell!" Zheng Changsheng tugged at his tie, then threw a few pages of sheet music on the table with a flick of his hand, and tapped his fingers vigorously on the paper, "Is he a god? Huh? Four hundred thousand? Just buy it." Five songs? Eighty thousand and one? How much is Mianmian's "Cloudy Sky"? Only sixty thousand! Liao, is your brain sick, or is my brain sick?"

Although there was no feeling of fear in his heart, Liao Liao knew that now was certainly not the time to choke, so he had to keep his head down and not speak, pretending to be scolded obediently.

Zheng Changsheng angrily walked back and forth behind the large boss's desk, and suddenly looked at Zhao Meifeng, "Have you signed the contract?"

Zhao Meifeng shook her head, but before Zheng Changsheng's eyes lit up, she said, "It's useless, Liao Liao has already given the check to him, I called the accountant just now to ask about it, The check has already been cashed.”

Snapped!

Zheng Changsheng punched the table violently.

"You...you are very good! Liao Liao...you are so promising! You are so majestic! You are so awesome! I have to weigh and deliberate to buy a song, but you are fine, and I will give you 800,000 yuan for the production budget. Make you spend so much, right? Brushing, filling out checks, tearing up checks, and pretending to be rich, is it fun? That’s a fucking four hundred thousand! You just bought me a few crap songs? You don’t want to mess around anymore? Bar?"

Liao Liao continued to lower his head without saying a word.

Zheng Changsheng turned around and sat back in the boss chair. He thought the tie was annoying, so he completely loosened it, tore it off and threw it on the table. He tapped on the table with his fingers for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Well, I'll call Lawyer Gu right away and let him Let his law firm take over, since he didn't even sign the contract anyway, it's fine to sue him for fraud, I'm not afraid that he won't refund the money!"

While speaking, he had already picked up the receiver and reached out to dial.

Hearing that he was talking about a lawyer, Liao Liao raised his head in surprise. Seeing that he really wanted to make a call, he hurried over and pressed the phone, "Mr. Zheng, don't..."

Zheng Changsheng frowned and looked up at her, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

If nothing happened, he could of course chat about friends with the artists under his banner, and he would swear loudly when he lost his temper, but he always talked about the matter, and he would never make the person being scolded really feel disgusted—he was only thirty Next year, and since he stepped into the music industry, he started from scratch, and it only took four or five years to bring Changsheng Records to the present stage. How could it be possible that he doesn't even have the ability to convince the public?

However, it is fine to make friends with an artist, in fact, it is fine to make friends with anyone, but his authority in the company is absolutely not to be challenged.

For example, no one should dare to cut off the phone call he was about to make!

He looked at Liao Liao with sharp eyes, but his tone was suddenly gentle, "Liao Liao, be obedient, let go!"

Liao Liao didn't dare to let go, and he didn't dare not to let go, and said: "No, Mr. Zheng, can you check if the song is good? If the song is not good, you can call this number... No, you don't need to call to ask others I want it, and I will pay for the 400,000 by myself, okay?" While looking back at Zhao Meifeng as if asking for help.

Zheng Changsheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and turned to look at Zhao Meifeng.

Zhao Meifeng said slowly: "Although this price is definitely outrageously expensive, I have watched those few songs. Although they may not be worth the price, the quality is not bad, at least it can be regarded as an upper-middle choice. So, what I mean... ...It's not a good idea to ask a lawyer to come forward? It's okay for such a small author. If you offend him, you will be offended. I'm afraid that once the reputation is spread, it will be bad for the company's image. You know, in this circle , Many times the contract is made up after the fact, anyway, the convention is established, the circle is so small, no one dares to mess around with it. So..."

Zheng Changsheng took a slow breath when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Liao Liao, who was only a short distance away.

Liao Liao looked at him expectantly, and when he saw his eyes turned, he quickly revealed a look of pleading, and said at the same time: "Really Mr. Zheng, I swear to you, I'm not fooling around, I really like these few song!"

Zheng Changsheng looked back and forth between Liao Liao and Zhao Meifeng several times, and slowly put down the phone, Liao Liao also quickly let go of the hand holding the phone, and even took a few steps back.

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Changsheng picked up the sheet music on the table without saying a word, and forced himself to look at it a few times, but he really didn't like the so-called high-quality goods acquired at such a high price. Eye——Besides, he has self-knowledge. When it comes to selling records, making charts on music stations, and conquering the hearts of artists under his banner, he considers himself an expert, but when it comes to judging whether a song is good or bad, If you ask him to listen, he can make a judgment, but if you ask him to read the score, it is really beyond his ability.

So, after barely reading the first page, he threw the score back on the table, opened the drawer and took out a cigar, sniffed it at his nose, and put it back carefully.

Then, he said: "Liao Liao, since you joined the company, you know how I treat you, Brother Zheng, whether I value you, whether I praise you, you know it! So... I don't want to say more about this matter. Yes, just one sentence: only this time, the next time will not be an example!"

Liao Liao nodded quickly when he heard the words, "I promise it's just this time, just this time!"

Zheng Changsheng looked at her quietly, nodded, and said, "The 800,000 yuan is for your production expenses. Well, I won't interfere. I only look at what you gave me in the end. So, I No matter what you bought is a masterpiece or a high school student's shit, this album, you give me a good job!...Okay, you all go out!"

…………

Carefully exiting the door and closing the door carefully, Liao Liao let out a long breath, then suddenly clenched his fist and waved it, "Finally pass!"

Zhao Meifeng looked at her helplessly, "Let's go back to the lounge."

So the two walked back side by side, and after a few steps, Zhao Meifeng said: "I've seen those songs, and they must be above the standard, but I think... it doesn't seem to be much better than the songs I invited you Where are you going? Are you so optimistic? Do you not hesitate to poke such a big hole?"

Liao Liao stopped when he heard this, and said confidently: "Sister Zhao, believe me, those songs are definitely worth the money!"

Zhao Meifeng also stopped, looked at her, shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "I believe you? What if I don't believe you? If you make such a fuss, those songs will definitely be unstoppable. You know, you Sister Zhao never hides anything from you, although I also intend to hide a few songs for Lele, and she is about to release an album, but I mainly keep it for you..."

"It's all right now. It will probably spread throughout the company in less than an hour. Liao Liao spent a lot of money and bought a few songs from a high school student for 400,000 yuan. You don't need anyone to say anything. Just wait and see, today Mr. Zheng will take those songs back, and as for your album... it cost 400,000 yuan to buy, you don't even want to use it!"

"You said, come to this point, I believe you or don't believe you, what's the use? Let me tell you, from today onwards, it will be the entire Changsheng record waiting to see your jokes! Even, when the news spreads , will become the entire music circle!"

Having said that, she raised her hand and patted Liao Liao's shoulder, her eyes were full of disappointment, "You... work harder! If this album fails in the end... Sigh..."

After finishing speaking, she turned around to leave, but stopped suddenly, and asked, "By the way, who do you want to arrange for, have you figured it out? I'll do it, or do you do it yourself? Or, can I find someone for you?"

Liao Liao shook his head, walked up, and said sincerely: "Sister Zhao, thank you. I know what you have done for me, so don't worry, I will definitely not let you down! As for the arrangement, my 400,000 It's not in vain, the original author has promised to help me make the arrangement first, let's see the effect of his work at that time."

Zhao Meifeng nodded when she heard the words, wanted to say something, but held back, smiled at Liao Liao, turned and walked away.

What she wanted to say in her heart was: That's just a high school student!
