Chapter 162: Refusal
Paris.
Western suburbs manor.
This private mansion, which belongs to the Kroll Group, is having an extravagant party at this time.
The stars are shining, all kinds of supermodels and popular actresses come in and out, and the posture is not weaker than the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.
This is the face of the Kroll Group.
As a giant in the entertainment industry across the world, anyone who mixes in this circle will inevitably act according to their faces, and even willingly be their lackeys.
Martin, the youngest son of the Kroll family, is said to have been studying in the United States before returning to the company's headquarters in France this year to take part in the group's business.
Previously, his eldest brother, the eldest son of the group, had stayed with the group and now served as an executive director.
is the so-called most ruthless emperor family, and it is the same in the big family, He Xiao almost didn't need to use his brain, he could imagine the inevitable discord between Martin and his eldest brother.
Because the brothers usually see each other too little, they can't talk about a deep brotherhood at all.
The eldest brother has been reused and has a high position in the group, but Martin only returned to the group this year and was put in the record department, and he will inevitably feel guilty and even psychologically distorted.
This can be seen in his face.
The eagle's nose is deep, and there is a kind of evil everywhere, and at first glance he is not the kind of person who is willing to be ordinary.
The ancestor said that "the face is born from the heart", sometimes it is not bad at all.
At this time.
As He Xiao and Carol came, several young men and women present also looked at him with a hippie smile.
"Master Martin, let me introduce you, this is He Xiao, a Chinese player in the East Division. ”
Carol smiled politely and embarrassedly, and introduced a little nervously in her heart.
She is just a third-tier star abroad, and the supermodel actresses present are all bigger than her, so it has invisibly caused a kind of pressure.
In addition, this young master Martin has just met her, and she doesn't know what her temperament is, so she inevitably seems a little restrained when she speaks.
Hearing the introduction, Martin did not rush to speak.
Those narrow eyes swept over He Xiao's body inch by inch, like a monarch examining his prey, and only after half a sound did he slowly slap his face.
"You are worthy of being the most powerful player in the East Division this year, and even the Sun News is impressed with you, which is really unusual. ”
He showed great interest in He Xiao, and ordered to a girl next to him, "Give me a seat." ”
The female star immediately had a smile on her face, like a flower, why did she pull a chair with a smile.
He Xiao was not stunned, sat up without changing his face, pursed his lips and responded: "Mr. Martin said he was smiling." ”
He is also a person who has seen the wind and waves now, compared to Carol's nervousness in the face of the top foreign circles, he is very relaxed.
In my heart, I just wondered about this young master Martin, who was not a serious person at first glance, and specially called himself, there must be something.
I just don't know if it's big or small.
"To tell you the truth, I am also one of the participants in this competition, and I have listened to both of your songs, and I personally appreciate them. ”
With a smile on his evil face, Martin made a very hospitable appearance and personally poured a glass of wine for He Xiao.
The wine poured out of the bottle and into the glass, and the whole dining hall fell silent for a moment.
"Mr. Martin, we Chinese people are straightforward, so let's say it directly. ”
He Xiao looked down the bottle and didn't reach out to take the wine.
At the same time, he had already vaguely guessed the other party's purpose in his heart.
"Huh. ”
Seeing that Martin was not annoyed when he heard this, the movements in his hands paused, and then his eyes shifted to He Xiao, and said in a commanding tone: "I want you to write me a tune." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was a little quieter.
Some European and American musicians who are quite powerful in the circle are incredible.
Because of Martin's status, if he wanted a piece, not to mention the people present, even any piano master in the world, he would probably be very happy to give his masterpiece to him.
Therefore, Martin put a lot of excellent resources without using it, but he took a fancy to He Xiao, a Chinese player, and specially invited him to his manor, which surprised many people.
Some celebrities in the music industry began to look sideways at He Xiao, wanting to see what was worthy of the attention of the young master of the Kroll family in this Chinese boy who only became famous today.
Martin still had a ruffian smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be worried that He Xiao would refuse.
Although he is the second son of the family, he is also bent on making achievements and proving himself to the family.
And a successful person, in addition to having enough business acumen, also needs a wide range of social recognition.
At least when you think of "Martin", you don't just think of the identity of the Kroll family, but also many other notable achievements.
Martin received a higher education from an early age, and his family was in the entertainment industry, so he was quite proficient in Western musical instruments.
In fact, not only Martin, most of the rich second generation in the world have many abilities that ordinary people do not have.
Good family conditions make them naturally win at the starting line, can go to study abroad with rich resources, and master multiple Chinese languages by relying on environmental factors.
The rich second generation is not a waste that eats and waits for death in the imagination, and most of the rich second generation in reality have extremely high IQs and academic qualifications.
Martin is one of the leaders, after returning to the group from studying in the United States, with his piano attainments that are not lost to the masters, the first thing that comes to mind is the Isabella Piano Competition, the most influential international competition.
As long as he can win the championship, his reputation in society will rise sharply, and he will establish a new talent character, which is many times more high-end than the identity of a gentleman.
At least in the competition within the group, he can also have an advantage.
So this Isabella competition, from the very beginning, his goal was clear.
Champion!
For the sake of the champion, you can do whatever it takes.
In the auditions of the four divisions, he came out of the West Division.
There are no notable fierce people in the West Division, but the other three Divisions attracted him, especially the East Division, and He Xiao, who performed two original songs in a row, made his eyes shine.
With his level of knowledge, it is natural to see the level of He Xiao's two songs, whether it is "Autumn Whispers" or "The Street Where the Wind Lives", they are the best choices in the industry.
So he moved his mind, and he hoped that he could also have an original masterpiece of this level.
As a result, after the tossing and turning of the relationship between all parties, the current situation was created.
……
He Xiao sat on the chair and did not move.
He had already guessed Martin's idea, but it had just been confirmed.
After all, whether it is in terms of background or connections, he has nothing worthy of the attention of this young master of a multinational family.
The only value is that "talent".
To be honest, Martin is a person worth befriending, just for the name of the Kroll family, and also worthy of the world's entertainment industry CEOs to squeeze their heads to curry, just look at the top European and American female stars around him.
Huaguo is a society of personal feelings, paying attention to interpersonal relationships and making friends.
So if he fancies other values on He Xiao, maybe He Xiao is happy to get to know him with a wave of hypocrisy, and take what he needs.
It's a pity that he has a fancy for the piano music in the black phone.
The black mobile phone is not only He Xiao's biggest hole card, but also the civilization wealth of another world, He Xiao never thought of exposing these things, or exchanging them for some benefits.
He is responsible for the wealth that God has given him.
Therefore, under Martin's smiling gaze, He Xiao shook his head almost without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Martin, but I can't help you if that's the case. ”
