In the new week, Jiang Kan officially starts his first day at work at Feiyang Entertainment as a composer/lyricist.
Wearing a suit and leather shoes, he was taken to the composition department of the Chengdu branch by Zhang Lingling.
Originally, he thought he would see a group of colleagues who were also formally dressed and serious like himself.
It turned out that except for himself, everyone in the entire office was dressed very casually. Not only were there no suits, there were even people wearing Hanfu, COSPLAY costumes and unspeakable weird costumes.
"Haha, you're surprised, aren't you? People in the composition department are all very unique, and they all think that such casual dressing is conducive to the development of inspiration..."
Seeing Jiang Kan's stunned look, Zhang Lingling couldn't help but explain to him as if she had succeeded in a prank.
For unknown reasons, the superiors planned to give Jiang Kan a good compliment.
Therefore, her agent also received a transfer order from the Shanghai headquarters, asking her to temporarily handle Jiang Kan's affairs at the Rongcheng branch.
Although she couldn't figure out the reason, Zhang Lingling was very satisfied. After all, as a foodie, she liked Chengdu very much, and the cost of living here was more than one-third cheaper than that in Shanghai.
"Hello, Sister Zhang~"
"Xiao Zhang, are you coming to Chengdu?"
"Hey Lingling, long time no see~"
…
Zhang Lingling brought the newcomers to the composition department. Many people greeted her. It seems that she is still very famous in the company. After all, she is a celebrity in the headquarters and the eldest sister of the agency department. She usually spends most of her time online and offline. We have all had some dealings with each other.
It had long been heard that a new person with a unique identity would be joining the composition department recently. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her out of curiosity.
"Let me introduce to you, this is our newly signed composer/lyricist, Jiang Kan! You may have heard of his masterpieces "People Like Me" and "Chengdu". Welcome!"
As soon as she finished the introduction, there was a roar of "Wow!" in the office.
"Brother, it's okay. I heard that you wrote these two songs yourself?"
A thirty-year-old man wearing a light blue Hanfu and a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses stood up from his workstation and came to Jiang Kan, looking him up and down curiously.
"And it is said that you also sang these two songs yourself? Are you versatile in lyrics, music and singing?"
He seemed to be very short-sighted, and his eyes were almost in front of Jiang Kan, which made the latter very uncomfortable.
"Hehe, I won it by chance, it's a prize, a prize."
The people around him were not surprised, as if this guy had always been this way.
"Hey, you're such a wonderful person, and you're so good at writing. What you wrote is what you wrote. I think it's pretty good!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
"Zheng Yupeng, let's get to know each other."
"Jiang Kan, nice to meet you."
The two hands were clasped together.
"Uncle, are you really forty years old? I can't see you in your early thirties!"
A girl in her twenties wearing a pink hat and cloak with long bunny ears also walked over and looked at Jiang Kan up and down.
"And he's very handsome. I like handsome uncles the most. Hi, my name is Yu Xiaoyao. You can call me Yaoyao!"
The little girl also very straightforwardly stretched out her hand, which was still wearing a pink rabbit glove, and shook hands with Jiang Kan, who was inexplicably shocked.
"Haha, that's great. It seems that talent can indeed bring us closer. I thought you would have to adapt to it for at least a while."
Zhang Lingling said with a happy smile on the side, she followed because she was afraid that the literary people would look down on her. It seemed that Jiang Kan had good luck and everyone appreciated his talent.
"Haha, Xiao Zhang is here. Is this the new guy brought to our department?"
A middle-aged man about fifty years old with gray sideburns walked over with a smile. Zhang Lingling immediately nodded respectfully to him and responded with a smile:
"Hello, Director Yang, long time no see. Yes, this is our newly signed composer/lyricist Jiang Kan. He is also a singer. He sang all three of his songs himself."
"Oh oh oh, yes, that's right, the one who sang "Chengdu", right? I was listening to it just now..."
He turned around and looked at Jiang Kan with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction.
"It just so happens that our department has been short of manpower recently, and it is very difficult to cope with the rookie championship list at the end of the year."
"I have listened to several of the songs you wrote. They are both excellent in lyrics and music, and I appreciate them very much. On behalf of our department, I would like to welcome you!"
As he spoke, he clapped, and the other seven or eight colleagues also clapped, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
But there was a thin young man in the corner wearing gold-rimmed glasses who didn't seem to be interested in it. He just wore headphones and pressed back and forth on the keyboard connected to the computer.
Jiang Kan didn't care. After all, he was not RMB, so he couldn't make everyone like him.
"Then you stay here and I go back to my workstation?"
After the introduction was done, Zhang Lingling said hello to Jiang Kan and left. Jiang Kan exchanged greetings with everyone and then moved to his seat under the guidance of Manager Yang.
It happened that a seat by the window had been cleared by people from the company's administrative department, so Jiang Kan was arranged here. It happened that the seat next to him was the 20-year-old man wearing a pink hat and cape with long rabbit ears. The girl - Yu Xiaoyao, and behind him is the first short-sighted man in Hanfu who greeted him just now - Zheng Yupeng.
"Please take good care of me in the future~"
Jiang Kan came to his seat, said hello to his two neighbors, then took out a large bag of individually packaged beef jerky from his backpack, opened it and handed it to them.
"Yo? Is there anything delicious?"
Yu Xiaoyao happily took it. Although Zheng Yupeng had a very rigid expression on his face, he still nodded friendly to him.
Then he stood up and placed a few small bags on each colleague's desk. Everyone nodded and accepted the kindness from the newcomer.
It's just that the thin young man with gold-rimmed glasses in the corner whom I saw just now didn't look up when he put down the beef jerky, nor did he pay attention to him, and continued to write music on his electronic keyboard.
"It's okay, just leave him alone. He's just like this and no one cares about him."
Yu Xiaoyao explained to him with a smile while chewing beef jerky.
Jiang Kan smiled and nodded, and said nothing more. Every company has a few people who are not easy to deal with. After working for so many years, they all understand.
"Bah bang bang!"
As soon as he turned on his computer and was about to install some familiar office software, he heard several clapping sounds from the direction of the door.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Since we have a newcomer here, I will take this opportunity to emphasize it to everyone!"
This was the voice of Manager Yang, and Jiang Kan stopped what he was doing and turned around to look over.
"The task of the company's new artist championship list at the end of this year has been divided for less than half a month. Our company has five new singers who will participate in this list!"
Manager Yang frowned and said to everyone in a serious tone.
"On last year's list, our company's best ranking was only fifth. The boss was very angry! This year he gave us a fatal order. One person must be in the top three. A total of three people including him were in the top. Ten! Otherwise, our department’s year-end bonus will have to be careful!”
"The task of the composition departments at the Magic City headquarters and our two branches in Chengdu and Yangcheng is to provide high-quality and sufficient ammunition for these five new singers!"
He clenched his fists and waved them vigorously in the air!
"So everyone must work hard and produce at least two songs that reach A or A+. Only then will our Chengdu Composition Department have a chance to complete the task. Do you understand?"
