With a worried mood, Zhang Lingling came outside Chairman Jin's office and knocked gently on the door.
"Please come in."
A gentle voice came out from inside, making everyone who heard it think that it must be an old man with a kind face.
"Chairman, are you looking for me?"
After Xiao Zhang entered the door, he quickly walked two steps to a desk made of golden nanmu more than two meters wide. He did not dare to raise his head and asked respectfully to the old man behind the desk.
"Ha, Xiao Zhang, you don't have to be so formal. Sit down, sit down. I still have two documents to approve. Please wait for me for a moment."
The second-ranked entertainment industry tycoon in the country, the leader of Feiyang Entertainment wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his gray hair is sparsely pulled back, and he has a tall and straight figure with a square face. It can be seen that when he was young, He was once a tall and strong man.
"Okay, okay, you go ahead."
Xiao Zhang hurriedly found a seat on a row of old-fashioned wooden chairs next to him and sat down, quite anxiously waiting for the other party to speak again.
This old gentleman is now in his seventies, and he still comes to work in the company every day in high spirits and handles many important matters of the company. Unlike many group leaders who retire behind the scenes and start to live a leisure life when they get old, he He has the personality of a busy person who can never take a day off, and everyone in the company knows this.
I wonder why he came to me today?
Xiao Zhang began to secretly take stock of his work during this period of time. Where did he fail to do things well and make his superiors dissatisfied? Or do you feel that you work hard and want a promotion and a salary increase?
But there are so many layers between him and me. If you want to inform yourself, you can just go to your direct superior. Why should he do it himself?
Just when she started to think wildly, Chairman Jin stopped the pen in his hand, then took off his glasses and pinched his nose to relax.
"Xiao Zhang...haha, you don't have to stand up, you can just sit down."
He stopped Zhang Lingling and stood up to speak. With a kind and generous old man's expression on his face, he spoke unhurriedly.
"I invited you here because I want to confirm something with you. After all, you have always been in charge of Jiang Kan's management, and you discovered him from the people in Chengdu..."
As soon as the big boss spoke, Zhang Lingling breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
It turns out we were talking about Jiang Kan, haha, it wasn’t just to criticize me for any faults in my work that deserve the chairman’s personal voice.
"So, you should have the deepest understanding of him in the entire company. I have something I would like to ask your opinion on."
The chairman continued to speak, but Zhang Lingling gradually felt a sense of envy in her heart. She had been working in the company for more than ten years, but she had not been personally interviewed by the chairman for her own affairs.
And Brother Kan has only been in the company for a long time, and the chairman already values him so much...
Sigh, it’s so irritating that people are so different from each other.
However, there was no relevant expression on her face, but she listened to the other party's words very carefully.
"Not long after he went to Yangcheng, he showed his extremely high working ability and instantly improved the dire situation of the branch there to a level that can compete with the branches of the other two giants..."
"His ability in music, whether it is creation or singing, is obvious to all. I just don't know, what is his ability in management? Xiao Zhang, you have also investigated his past work experience in It Company before. , he also served as a manager there, can you tell us about the situation?"
The chairman's words filled Xiao Zhang's mind with surprise and envy!
"Here, are you going to promote Brother Kan to management? Are you going to give him a promotion?"
She forced herself to suppress these two emotions and reported on the most important aspects of Jiang Kan's past work experience that she had investigated before.
"Oh, so his management skills are still sufficient? That's good."
Chairman Jin nodded with satisfaction, with a smile in his eyes. Anyone could see that he was very satisfied with his subordinate's report.
"Okay, I understand. I'm interrupting your working time. Go back to your post."
He stood up, moved his shoulders and wrists slightly, walked to Zhang Lingling and patted her shoulder gently, his eyes full of appreciation.
"You have done a very good job during this period. We all see it. Haha, keep it up, keep it up."
When Zhang Lingling left the office feeling flattered and closed the door from the outside, the smile on Chairman Jin's face disappeared instantly.
He walked a few steps in the room, then came to the seat by the window, casting his deep gaze to the south outside the window.
"Over at the Yangcheng branch, Anpingle is a little too unprogressive. He manages a branch that looks like it's about to collapse..."
In the chairman's eyes, there was no longer the look of encouragement and gratification that he had just seen when facing the outstanding employees of the group. Instead, there was a deep dissatisfaction and resentment.
"If it weren't for his father who was once a great contributor to the company, who doesn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, and has never been able to find a suitable replacement, I would have killed him long ago!"
Also, a branch of a huge entertainment giant that is the second largest in the country, and one of the largest cities in the country, is actually reduced to competing with ordinary small, middle- and low-income companies for food. In the past few years, a blind cat had the luck of a dead mouse to build a building and live on rent!
"snort!"
A heavy breath came out of his nose.
"Fortunately, a great talent has come from heaven. Jiang Kan, who is both an outstanding composer and singer, has helped me improve the business of the Yangcheng branch and rescued it from the fire. With such a talent, we must have Give full attention and preferential treatment!”
Recently, with Jiang Kan being injured and hospitalized, many new rumors have emerged in the market.
Some of them were spread by hostile companies, saying that Feiyang Entertainment saw Jiang Kan's old age from this incident and began to vigorously reduce the salary and benefits of some veteran singers and clean up "bad assets".
Although these words are somewhat groundless and unreasonable, there are still many people who are secretly in danger.
And these hostile companies have also begun to increase their efforts to snatch talents, hoping to poach some "old" singers and outstanding employees from Feiyang, an old rival.
Especially for Jiang Kan's poaching operations, they also discovered and stopped several of them. In the Shashi First People's Hospital alone, there were more than 20 people arranging for outsiders to meet Jiang Kan.
Moreover, the company also specifically asked the hospital to let Jiang Kan rest well and not allow anyone other than his relatives and friends to visit him, which would interfere with his rest and recovery.
As far as he knew, the executives at the Rays regretted not signing Jiang Kan before, and now they were willing to use resources that far exceeded those of the first-tier celebrities to poach him. He really had to guard against it.
It just so happens that at the company's headquarters in Shanghai, a senior executive has recently resigned to start his own business. His seat just became vacant, and Anpingle can be transferred here.
The first is to dig him out of his position as the general manager of the Yangcheng branch to make room for better people.
Secondly, letting him take the position of an executive does not mean that the company has treated the veteran badly. As long as some of the power of this position is transferred to others with a little effort, this will be an empty position with only honors and benefits, not much. Let him toss the power.
It was for this purpose that I called Zhang Lingling to inquire today. I learned that Jiang Kan’s management performance in the previous It company was pretty good. He was driven away just because he was a little dull and not tactful in his work. He offended the boss and disliked him. After the problem, Chairman Jin was relieved.
What's the big deal here? With himself as the top leader of the group, and with such outstanding talents, which blind guy in the company would dare to touch him?
Of course, this matter still depends on Jiang Kan’s own intentions. If he is unwilling to stay in a foreign city like Yangcheng, or prefers to return to Rongcheng to live the relatively leisurely and free life of a songwriter + singer, he will also Will not rush the ducks to the shelves.
…
Soon it was mid-week.
Jiang Kan called Boss Pang again and asked him to apologize to Professor Liu for not being able to attend his 70th birthday party.
At the same time, Zhang Lingling also asked Zhang Lingling to send his special gift to Professor Liu by email, intending to bring him a surprise.
At Professor Liu's birthday party, he had just finished accepting toasts from students and friends and delivering his birthday speech.
At this time, his student Pang Guan remembered Jiang Kan and Zhang Lingling's commission, and possessed him and said a few words in the teacher's ear.
"Okay, Zhang Lingling also told me that since it can't be opened until my birthday party starts, now is the time to open it and see what kind of surprise they have brought to me."
With that said, he asked Pang Guan to use his mobile phone to open his mailbox, and sure enough he found an extra email inside that he had just received.
"Congratulations to Professor Liu Zhigang on his 70th birthday. I would like to present you a new piano piece to celebrate!"
This is the main text, and then there is a 7-8 MB attachment, a compressed file.
Pang Guan downloaded and opened the compressed file and got a music file: piano music.
"Oh?? This Xiao Jiang, he actually wrote a new piano music? Or is it a birthday gift for me?"
Although Mr. Liu is seventy years old, he is still in good spirits. Originally, he was happy today because he had many old friends whom he never saw in person for his birthday. Now he was even more surprised to see this new piano music. He grabbed the phone from his student's hand!
The other party is a great composer who has ever composed music!
For someone who can write such a piece of music that shocks even Western pianists, what kind of surprise will his second piece bring to people?
"Teacher, since the other party has sent such a big gift, how about we push it to the speakers in the lobby so that all the guests can enjoy Jiang Kan's new song?"
Pang Guan saw that the teacher was as happy as a child when he got his favorite toy, so he gave him this suggestion very thoughtfully.
There were a lot of people coming to attend the old professor’s birthday party today, so they simply booked out the hotel’s dining room and lobby. There were almost a hundred people sitting at the eight tables. In addition to relatives and friends, they were all enjoying the music. , piano-related professionals.
They are all people who have been dealing with music and piano all their lives. Appreciating music is something they know very well.
"Oh? It's good, let them see what little friend Jiang is capable of, and it can also show that I, Old Liu, have a wide circle of friends in my life and know so many amazing friends!"
As soon as the old man heard this, he immediately agreed. The harmony that Jiang Kan played live at the last celebration of the 90th anniversary of the piano major left a very deep impression on him. Although he was injured and could not come today, the music Delivering it can also greatly shock these old friends of mine.
Imagining the shocked expressions of the guests after hearing this piece of music, the old man felt secretly happy in his heart.
"Go on, go play it, and turn it up louder, a lot of old guys are a little deaf."
He waved his hand and let Pang Guan handle the matter with confidence.
"Ahem..."
Pang Guan quickly contacted the hotel lobby manager, connected his mobile phone to the lobby speaker using Bluetooth, then picked up the microphone and stood on the rostrum to clear his throat.
When everyone saw that someone was about to give a speech, they gradually stopped talking and eating, put down their wine glasses and chopsticks and looked at the person on the podium.
"Today, a friend who could not be present due to physical reasons sent a special gift to my teacher, Professor Liu."
He raised the phone in his hand.
"Perhaps all of you guests have participated in the 90th anniversary of the founding of the piano major at the Magic Conservatory of Music, right? Perhaps you still remember this friend who was unable to attend because he played a song that impressed us at that party. This new self-composed piano music was unforgettable for everyone and even shocked the world later——!”
When Pang Guan said this, people below who had been to that party already understood who he was talking about.
"It's Jiang Kan! Jiang Kan's piano music is really amazing! I cried when I heard it!"
"Yes, we Xia people have finally written a piano piece that can shock the world. You are really a role model for us!"
"I fell to my knees when I heard that song. I went home and stayed up late, pulled out the song and played it until dawn. My neighbor next door also called 110 and complained..."
"Teacher Jiang Kan has released a new work? How long has it been? It takes at least three to five years to compose a piano piece. He has released a new work in less than half a year?"
"Maybe it was written before? It's not like he only started to enter the music industry when he was forty years old. He must have accumulated a lot in the first forty years, right?"
"Well, it's very possible, but I don't know how many more treasures he has hidden in his music library. I really hope that one day I can listen to his piano music. It would be great!"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, until Pang Guan, who was holding the microphone, coughed and cleared his throat as a reminder, and they gradually returned to silence again.
"Then, please enjoy Jiang Kan's new piano music - everyone welcomes it with applause!"
