Chapter Thirty-Eight: That's Just a High School Student

Monday, morning.

Beijing, Changsheng Records Company Headquarters, General Manager's Office.

Zheng Changsheng took a few pages of music scores and looked at them casually, but in fact, his mind didn't go to the paper at all, and even the answer was absent-minded, "Oh, okay, I know, I'll take a closer look when I go back...... Hey, wait! How much? You just said...... How much did you spend on these songs?"

Although the producer Zhao Meifeng and Sister Zhao were by her side, Liao Liao still seemed very weak-hearted, especially Zheng Changsheng's performance, which made her even more weak-hearted, and she almost didn't dare to look up, but just whispered: "400,000." ”

Zhao Meifeng, who had already learned what had happened, sighed slightly, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to cover her ears. Of course, this is in front of Mr. Zheng, she definitely can't do that, so she has to keep her face away.

Zheng Changsheng's eyes widened for a moment, and then he slowly took a deep breath.

"Liao!"

The roar came as expected.

Liao Liao immediately shuddered-don't look at her usual big temperament, but in the face of Zheng Changsheng's roar**, she was also afraid.

But it's weird.

When she was still in Jinan, as she woke up, the heat in her heart gradually receded, she already understood what kind of situation she was about to face after returning to Beijing, since then, she began to feel anxious in her heart, worried very much, on the car back to Beijing, she didn't even care to read the score, so she pulled the assistant to discuss how to deal with Mr. Zheng's roar, just for this, she didn't sleep well last night.

But at this time, when Mr. Zheng roared out, she looked up at Zheng Changsheng, whose face was already red, but suddenly felt less afraid.

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

"I'll listen to a fart!" Zheng Changsheng tugged at his tie vigorously, then threw a few pages of music scores on the table with a flick of his hand, and tapped his fingers the paper, "He's a fairy? Ah? 400,000 yuan? Just buy five songs? 80,000 songs? Mianmian's song "Cloudy Day" is only 60,000? The surname is Liao, are you sick in the brain, or am I sick in the head?"

Although he didn't feel scared anymore, Liao Liao knew that of course now was not the time to choke, so he had to lower his head and not speak, putting on an obedient look.

Zheng Changsheng angrily walked back and forth behind the wide boss's desk, and suddenly looked at Zhao Meifeng, "Has the contract been signed?"

Zhao Meifeng shook her head, but before Zheng Changsheng, whose eyes lit up, could say it, she had already said: "It's useless, Liao Liao has already given the checks to the people, I specially called the finance to ask before I came just now, and the people have already cashed the checks." ”

Syllable!

Zheng Changsheng slammed his fist on the table.

"You...... You are very good!Liao Liao...... You're so good! You're so magnificent! You're so awesome! I have to weigh and think about it when I buy a song, and you're good, and I'm going to give you 800,000 yuan for the production fund, so you can spend it like this, right? Brush it, fill in checks, tear up checks, and pretend to be big, it's cool, right? That's a fucking 400,000 yuan! You're going to buy me a few pieces of shitty stuff and come back? You don't want to mess up, do you?"

Liao Liao continued to keep his head down and said nothing.

Zheng Changsheng turned around and sat back in the boss's chair, thinking that the tie was annoying, completely loosened it and tore it off and threw it on the table, his fingers knocked on the table for a few seconds, and he suddenly said: "In this way, I will call Lawyer Gu immediately and let his law firm take over, anyway, I haven't even signed the contract, it's no problem to sue him directly for fraud, I'm not afraid that he will dare not return the money!"

As he spoke, he had already picked up the microphone and reached out to dial the number.

Hearing him talk about the lawyer, Liao Liao had already raised his head in surprise, and when he saw that he really wanted to call, he hurriedly ran over in two steps, and held down the phone at once, "Mr. Zheng, don't ......"

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

If it's okay, of course he can talk to his artists about friends, and when he loses his temper, he will naturally scold people loudly, but he always talks about things, and he will never let the scolded person really feel disgusted - he is only in his thirties, 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 this point, how can he not even have this ability to convince the public?

However, it is okay to make friends with artists, in fact, it is okay to make friends with anyone, but his authority within the company is absolutely not to be provoked.

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

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

Liao Liao didn't dare to let go, and he didn't dare not let go, so he said: "Don't, Mr. Zheng, do you want to see if the song is good first? If the song is not good, you can call this again...... No, you don't have to call and ask people to ask for it, I'll pay for the 400,000 yuan myself, okay?" looked back at Zhao Meifeng as if asking for help.

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

Zhao Meifeng said slowly: "Although this price must be outrageously expensive, I have watched those songs, although they may not be worth the price, but the quality is acceptable, at least it is the best choice." So, what do I mean...... It's not good to let a lawyer come forward? Such a small author is nothing, and if he is offended, he will be offended, and he is afraid that once his reputation spreads, it will be detrimental to the company's image. As you know, in this circle, many times the contract is made up after the fact, anyway, it is customary, the circle is so small, no one dares to mess around with it. So ......"

Hearing this, Zheng Changsheng took a slow breath and turned his head to look at Liao Liao, who was a few steps away.

Liao Liao looked at him with a hopeful face, and when he saw his gaze turned, he quickly showed a pleading look, and said at the same time: "Really Mr. Zheng, I swear to you, I'm really not a nonsense, I really like these songs!"

Zheng Changsheng's gaze went back and forth between Liao Liao and Zhao Meifeng a few times, and slowly put down the microphone, 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 score on the table without saying a word, and forced himself to look at it a few times, but he really didn't have a good impression of the so-called high-quality products obtained at such a high price, and even if he looked at it, he just glanced at it casually - besides, he was self-aware, when it came to selling records, when it came to hitting charts on the music station, When it comes to subduing the hearts of his artists, he thinks he is an expert, but for judging whether a song is good or bad, if you let him listen to it, then it can be judged, and if you let him read the score to judge, it is really beyond his ability.

So, barely finishing the first page, he threw the score back on the table, pulled open the drawer, took out a cigar, put it to his nose and smelled it, but carefully put it back.

Then, he said: "Liao Liao, since you entered the company, how do you Brother Zheng and I treat you, do you value you, do you praise you, do you know in your heart......! I don't want to say more about this matter, just one sentence: only this once, not the next one!"

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

Zheng Changsheng looked at her quietly, nodded, and said: "This 800,000 yuan, I said that it was for your production funds, okay, I won't interfere, I only look at what you gave me at the end, so I don't care if you buy back a master's work or a high school student's shit, you can do it for me with this album...... Alright, you all go out!"

…………

Cautiously exiting the door and closing the door carefully, Liao Liao let out a sigh of relief, and then suddenly clenched his fists and waved, "Finally passed!"

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

So the two walked back side by side, and after a few steps, Zhao Meifeng said: "I watched those songs, they must be above the level, but I think ...... It doesn't seem to be any better than the songs I invited you, right? You're so optimistic, and you don't hesitate to poke such a big hole?"

Liao Liao stood still when he heard this, and said with great confidence: "Sister Zhao, believe me, those songs are definitely worth the price!"

Zhao Meifeng also stopped, glanced at her, shook her head with a wry smile, and said: "I believe you? I don't believe what can you do? Let you make such a scene, those songs must not be covered, you know, your sister Zhao has never hidden something from you, although I also have the intention of hiding a few songs for Lele, she is also about to release an album, but the main thing is for you......"

"It's okay now, it is estimated that in less than an hour, it should be spread all over the company, Liao Liao spent a lot of money and spent 400,000 yuan to buy a few songs from a high school student, and no one else needs to say anything, you wait and see, Mr. Zheng will take those songs back today, as for your album...... I bought it for 400,000 yuan, you can't use it if you want to!"

"You say, at this point, I believe you or not, what's the use? Let me tell you, from today onwards, the one waiting to see your jokes will be the entire Changsheng Record! Even, when the news spreads, it will become the entire music circle!"

Speaking of this, she raised her hand and patted Liao Liao's shoulder, her eyes full of disappointment that she couldn't hide, "You...... If the album fails...... Alas......"

After finishing speaking, she turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and asked, "By the way, who will you find for the arrangement, have you thought about it? Will I do it, or will you do it yourself? Otherwise, I'll help you find someone?"

Liao Liao shook his head, walked up, and said sincerely: "Sister Zhao, thank you." I know what you've done for me, so rest assured, I won't let you down...... As for the arrangement, my 400,000 yuan is not for nothing, the original author has promised to help me make the arrangement first, and then see how he does it. ”

Zhao Meifeng nodded when she heard this, wanting to say something, but she couldn't help it, smiled at Liao Liao, turned around and walked away.

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