On Monday, Jiang Kan returned to the company full of energy and continued his day as a worker.
I came a little late today, and most of my colleagues in the office had already arrived early. When Jiang Kan walked in, everyone turned their attention to him in unison.
"Hi, hello everyone~"
Jiang Kan didn't take it seriously. He used to do this every Monday when he came to work. After all, "Xia Guo Good Singer" had just been played on Sunday night. It was normal for everyone to say hello to him out of curiosity or envy. thing.
Although everyone looked a little strange today, he didn't dig into it. Maybe it was because all his songs were in the top four, so his colleagues were a little jealous, which is understandable.
After all, everyone writes songs, and the songs they write will only occasionally have the opportunity to be sung on a show, but Jiang Kan's songs seem so different. They are the object of pursuit by others every week, which makes people a little envious. Everything is too normal.
"Hey, Uncle Kan~"
Yu Xiaoyao pulled up a chair and came to his side. Different from usual, she was not so careless, but whispered quietly:
"There seems to be some personnel changes recently. Have you received any news?"
Xiaoyao's words made Jiang Kan a little confused, what's the news?
"I've been busy with "Xia Guo Good Singer" recently. I haven't received any news. Are there any personnel changes in our department?"
He looked at the other party in confusion, while pressing the power button of the computer.
"That's it. The one I told you last time. Our company's Lingnan branch, the branch in Yangcheng, has been looking for support from the headquarters!"
Yu Xiaoyao looked around, and then immediately retracted the eyes of those who were looking over here.
She whispered in Jiang Kan's ear and continued:
"It is said that the company headquarters means that their side has just experienced a round of poaching. Several Qu dads have been poached by Xinghai and they cannot spare their manpower for the time being, so they plan to send someone from our Rongcheng branch to support that side. But this candidate has not been finalized yet..."
Jiang Kan suddenly realized that he had seen this scene before when he worked in an IT company. Branches with poor performance lacked talents and direction guidance, so the head office assigned some personnel from its own or other branches to provide support. .
Although these people who are sent may not be *** in their original positions, most of them are just employees with strong abilities but low-level positions.
But after being sent there as a support staff, he becomes a commissioner who can be on an equal footing with the branch manager. Similar to the imperial envoy in ancient times, he has independent authority and the right to interfere in the management of the branch. With high authority and high status, he has light responsibility. It’s quite awesome!
However, there are relatively few opportunities for this kind of external deployment, and it is often very distressing if there is a high probability of being assigned to some companies in areas where the local company is not very dominant. Therefore, generally no one will be too interested, or even For fear of avoiding it.
But the situation of the Yangcheng branch of Feiyang Entertainment is a bit strange. On the one hand, Yangcheng itself is a very prosperous big city with a very high level of economic development. If you go there to be stationed, both work and life will be very difficult. Comfortable.
On the other hand, among the company's dozens of branches in large and small regions across the country, the development of the Yangcheng branch has always been difficult, and it is difficult to compete with the local music companies.
The reason for this should also be caused by different geographical conditions, languages, and customs.
Although the locals usually speak Mandarin, which is the official Mandarin of Xia Kingdom, they always like to use the original local dialect, which is Cantonese, in cultural works.
Local people are also more inclined to accept such songs, so from the beginning, this branch, which was composed of people from all over the world transferred from the headquarters to branches from all over the world, was a bit acclimated, and the business aspect has always been sluggish. Now, it is even more... It feels a little difficult to move forward. :
The manager of the Yangcheng branch reported to the headquarters many times, but he didn’t know why.
The reason why there is really a shortage of relevant personnel is because I don’t pay special attention to the Lingnan market, so I haven’t sent capable personnel to provide support.
But some time ago, due to the expansion of Guangguang Entertainment in Yangcheng, the living space of Feiyang Entertainment's Yangcheng branch was further squeezed. The manager here had no choice but to send an alarm to the headquarters. If he didn't send people to support him, he couldn't survive!
Therefore, the company has really begun to consider the issue of supporting personnel there, and is currently discussing related matters in this area.
Correspondingly, the selection issue is also under constant consideration.
Originally, before Jiang Kan came here, the seven or eight colleagues in the composition department of the Rongcheng branch were quite happy with their work. The pace of life in this city was not too fast, and the company paid salaries comparable to those in first-tier cities, let alone writing songs. After being selected, we received high dividends, so everyone has always been very satisfied with the status quo and didn't have much else to think about.
But since Jiang Kan joined in, it was like a catfish was suddenly put into a calm fish pond. He immediately turned the pond upside down with his outstanding results. In less than half a year, he produced more than a dozen fish. A great song that became a hit, it immediately made everyone lose their sense of existence.
It was at this time that someone was willing to go to Lingnan for support.
Firstly, to escape the fate of being compared by Jiang Kan, and secondly, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. After going to the Yangcheng branch, he will be an imperial envoy, and his life will not be worse than here. If he can take care of himself, his future will be bright. .
"So...it turns out that everyone looked at me strangely when I walked in because there were rumors that the headquarters would let me go to Yangcheng to support the branch there?"
Jiang Kan suddenly understood, picked up the coffee he bought on the way and took a big sip to calm down his shock.
"Isn't it? There has been this rumor recently. I don't know where the news came from..."
Xiaoyao glanced left and right again, and then continued to speak in a low voice after finding that no one was looking at her.
"Hey, I haven't received any news at all. I only found out about this after hearing you talk about it..."
Jiang Kan smiled helplessly and said, "Who is this? He started spreading rumors without any trace. Doesn't this damage the relationship between colleagues?"
"Maybe it's just a rumor. Anyway, I'm just gossiping with you... But if you really have the chance to go there, that would be nice. Uncle Kan, the Cantonese songs you wrote are also very nice, including the previous "Cold Rainy Night" and "Like You", and the most recent one is "White Rose" written for Liu Yiliang. I think if you really went there, there would be no problem!"
After saying that, the little girl pulled her chair back to her seat, leaving Jiang Kan holding the coffee cup in his hand and lost in thought.
In a luxurious community, there is a very gorgeously decorated living room.
Zhao Yuzheng was looking at the screen of the laptop in front of him while chatting with his assistant Xiaoyun who was handling work matters.
"Shocking! As a diva-level singer, Zhao Yu only ranked fifth in this competition and narrowly missed elimination!"
"If you don't sing Jiang Kan's songs, you won't be in the top three! Is this a shady secret of the show crew?"
"Those who follow me will prosper! All the singers who sang songs composed by Jiang Kan are in the top four!"
"Is a new era coming? We may witness the birth of a new legend!"
"It is said that Janice lamented after the game that the shock brought to her by Jiang Kan's genius performance will never be forgotten!"
"Look, what are these reports? It's raining on the wind. It's almost turning him into a god!"
Holding his hands, Zhao Yu lay back rather disdainfully and leaned on the back of the sofa.
"These reporters are becoming more and more outrageous. They will try their best to spread the news when they find a topic, for fear that they will miss the news and fail to write something eye-catching!"
Looking at the sensational news headlines on the screen, Zhao Yu's face was full of disdain and helplessness.
If you only read these paparazzi reports, people who don't know would think that Jiang Kan is already Xia Guo's No. 1!
Of course she is not jealous of Jiang
Kan, but I feel that such flattery and so-called rumors are really meaningless.
I have gotten to know his character a bit recently. He is not a person who likes to be exaggerated. Maybe he is having a headache at the moment when he is watching the news that almost blows him to the sky.
"But Sister Zhao, after all, he has been very popular for so many times. Although I am not a singer, I can tell that his songs are indeed very good. Besides..."
Assistant Xiaoyun looked at Zhao Yu's face and saw that she had no intention of stopping him from talking, so he continued with peace of mind:
"Besides, Sister Zhao, didn't you also sing "Blue and White Porcelain" written by him in the fourth issue, and you also won the second place..."
"Although Sister Zhao, your singing skills must be the main reason for this, after all, doesn't a good song also bring great advantages?"
Zhao Yu leaned back on the sofa, folded his arms, and stared at the screen of his laptop without moving. He didn't know if she heard what he said. Xiaoyun glanced at her again and saw that she didn't respond, so he turned around and started working. Here comes the job at hand.
"Well, maybe moving with the times is the wisest choice..."
After a while, she heard Zhao Yu say in a very weak voice.
"Contact Zhang Lingling for me, just say... I have some music-related matters to see her, and I hope we can chat in person."
After giving instructions to her assistant, she sat back in front of her laptop, scrolling the mouse with her fingers, browsing the long list of shocking news.
"Hey, Lao Kan, are you free after get off work tonight? Let's have a meal together?"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Kan got up and went to the lounge to refill himself a cup of coffee when he suddenly received a call from Yu Kai.
So he walked to a small conference room that no one was using, closed the door, sat on a chair and chatted with him.
"Oh? What's the wind blowing today? You old man actually offered to treat me to dinner?"
Jiang Kan chatted with him teasingly. He was in a good mood recently and his tone of voice was also very lively.
"Ha, it doesn't make sense for you to say that. Why do you call me a stingy person? I don't have enough time to treat you to dinner?"
Yu Kai was stunned for a moment on the phone, and then he laughed and cursed, "How can you still settle those stupid accounts you treated me and I treated you before? It's obvious that Jiang Kan was joking."
"Well, it's good that you know. Ha, what's going on today? You suddenly thought of inviting me to dinner?"
He picked up the cup and was about to take a sip to refresh himself, but found that he had been heading to the lounge just now but suddenly turned here and ended up here. The quilt was empty and there was no coffee.
He smacked his lips and waited for the answer from the other party on the phone.
"Oh, it's like this. My Xiaodong recently performed piano at a school event and won a second prize! When he came back, he showed off his certificate to me to see how much fun he had. I took him to the amusement park before. I’ve never been so happy.”
When he talked about his children, Yu Kai seemed like a different person. The feeling of doting and pampering overflowed like a lake in spring. Jiang Kan could hear it clearly on the phone.
"That's great. Congratulations?"
Jiang Kan congratulated him, but it was obvious that his words were foreshadowing. He made a special phone call to invite him to dinner. It was definitely not just to show off that his precious son won the second prize for playing piano.
"Haha, thank you. What I want to tell you is that when Xiaodong was asked by the school teacher how long he had been learning piano, he said that he only started learning piano during the winter vacation, which scared the teacher!"
The more Yu Kai spoke, the more excited he became. He was even happier that his son was praised by the teacher than he was by the company leader.
"so……?"
Jiang Kan knew that it would be better to be a quiet compliment at this time, so he cooperated with him and asked.
"So, the teacher came to find me at home and told me that Xiaodong has a very good talent for learning piano! Please let me not interrupt the child's piano learning!"
Having said this, Lao Yu's voice began to change from excitement to a little calmer.
After all, the first half of the words were meant to show off, while the second half of the words were probably about asking for help.
"Yes, if your child is talented, you must let him study hard. Don't let such a good talent go to waste!"
Jiang Kan also nodded, indicating that he agreed with the teacher's view.
Children learn things the fastest, and Xiaodong really has this talent and loves to learn from the bottom of his heart. It would be unreasonable for parents not to support him.
"So...hehehe..."
Yu Kai laughed slightly awkwardly on the phone, not knowing what to say next.
"So the teacher said he can't just study during the winter vacation, right?"
Following his words, Jiang Kan quickly analyzed what the teacher wanted to say. Wasn't it just to cultivate the children quickly while they were interested and talented?
Naturally, you can’t just go to winter camp during the winter vacation to study for a little bit.
"Yeah, you can learn so much in just a short period of time during the winter vacation... So I was thinking, Lao Kan, you are also in the music industry now. Do you know any piano experts that you can recommend to Xiaodong? Going to study? Don’t worry, no matter how much money we spend, we will pay for it. It’s rare for a child to like an extracurricular activity and be so talented. No matter how expensive the tuition is, we will accept it!”
Perhaps it was Jiang Kan's popularity during this period that made the Yu Kai couple, who were originally relatively traditional, finally realize that their children's education should not only focus on learning, but also having other skills would be beneficial to their future lives, so after discussion, they finally My wife approved the budget.
"Oh? Are you so determined? OK, let me help you think about it!"
"No hurry, no hurry, let's have something to eat and a drink first tonight and then you can think about it slowly. I will be very grateful if you can give me the news within this month. It is rare for a child to be interested and talented, so we must find a famous teacher for him. , we can’t delay the child’s talent! Hahahaha!”
Yu Kai became excited again when he spoke on the phone, and Jiang Kan couldn't help but laugh:
"Yes, yes, I know your Xiaodong has talent. You have said the word talent hundreds of times in the past few minutes! Okay, let's have hot pot at the same place tonight, and we'll talk then!"
"Okay, let's talk about it then!"
