Cao Weiran is 47 years old, with a rectangular face, gray hair, and very light eyebrows, and looks polite. When he is alone, he always has tiredness in his eyes. As a CEO, his job is to constantly push his subordinates and put a lot of pressure on them. But everyone in the company respects him.

He speaks very gently, bites very lightly, and has a sense of careful consideration. As soon as Fang Yan saw him, he immediately felt good.

"Teacher Cao. He said hello.

"Oh, sit down. Cao Weiran shook hands with Fang Yan and asked him to sit across from the desk. Fang Yan leaned the piano bag against his desk.

Lao Cao was secretly surprised.

Reality...... It's not the same as in the online video. Fang Yan was very polite, but there was a calm temperament in his gestures, and he felt bottomless. He was a newcomer, looking directly into his eyes, and he was not cramped at all. Cao Weiran couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Migrate qi and nourish the body. Fang Yan played the piano many times in Ma Shengguang's living room, playing with the great god all day long, and was also contaminated with the tall temperament of the old man Ma. The people around him didn't feel that strangers were immediately frightened when they saw them.

Ji Shanshan poured Fang Yan a glass of warm water, sat beside him, and introduced each other. Cao Weiran was very polite, put his hands on the desk, and first talked about the current situation of a bunch of ketchup records, which was very flat at first, and as he spoke, there was more passion in his voice.

"What is certain is that there is no shortage of outstanding musical talents in Huaxia, and what we want to do is to give these people the best environment and space to create freely. The market needs to be cultivated, and society is also progressing, just like movies, Huaxia cannot always have bad movies. ”

"Yes. ”

Cao Weiran asked about Fang Yan's past experience, especially in the prison period, and asked much more carefully than Ma Shengguang. The key question is how Fang Yan learned music.

"I don't have a score, I just listen to the music and pick up the ...... myself," Fang Yan said. "Uncle Shan, the prison warden, gave me a small MP3, and I listened to it with that. Every week, a big police brother helps me download songs, and sometimes I steal the Internet for half an hour. ”

Lao Cao was stupid when he heard it.

After chatting for a long time, Ji Shanshan stood up, pressed Fang Yan's shoulder, and said, "Teacher Cao, you two talk first, I have to go." ”

"Okay, you're busy, Sansan. ”

"Do I want to play the piano?" Fang Yan touched the piano bag and asked. Ji Shanshan asked him to bring a guitar and said that he would record a few pieces of music.

Lao Cao shook his head and was silent.

“……”

"You don't have a problem with music, but, Fang Yan. ”

You say. ”

"Can I ask you a question? Cao Weiran's fingers tapped lightly on the table and said slowly. "Speak lightly and deeply, and the gentleman will prescribe. The first time we met, I shouldn't have said too much. If you talk too much, you will be easily offended. ”

"Oh. ”

"I don't want to be offended. But there's a question I have to ask you. ”

Fang Yan was speechless, you spoke so neatly just now, why did Ji Shanshan nag as soon as she left. He said, "Say it." ”

Lao Cao's right fingers slid and his eyes fixed on Fang Yan, and said, "Before a person runs for president, congressman, or any public office, he must undergo a comprehensive and independent background check to ensure that his past experience is not flawed. To put it bluntly, it is the innocence of personality. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Every candidate has to be completely honest because whatever you're hiding, your competitors are going to dig it out. At that point, you'll be defeated. When I choose artists, I do a similar background check. ”

"Uh. ”

"I was surprised by the results. What happened to you in a hit-and-run 5 years ago is not at all what you said. You have suffered from generations, and it is not you who hit people with your car, it is an 18-year-old girl named Susu. She is now a graduate student at Dawn University in Jiangdong, and I guess you didn't go back to Yanjing after you were released from prison, and you chose Jiangdong for her sake. ”

Fang Yan listened to the drums in his heart, smiled and said, "It's all in the past." ”

"Don't explain, listen to me. If it's really you who hit someone, it's much simpler. In the public story, you are a child who has changed his ways, done wrong things when he was young, and studied the piano desperately in prison...... People love heroes with shortcomings, love stories like this. In the beginning, it will definitely cause controversy, but fans will eventually forgive you and will stand up to protect you...... But now, it's a different story. ”

“……”

In Cao Weiran's original plan, when the news of Fang Yan's imprisonment came out, it would definitely be questioned by netizens, and when he was at his lowest, Tomato Sauce announced the news of signing a contract with him in a high-profile manner. In this way, it not only attracted Fang Yan, but also won the reputation of ketchup.

But after Lao Cao's investigation, it was more difficult.

"As a public figure, you can't lie. At the very least, your lies can't have obvious holes. Cao Weiran said. "You've been out of prison for 3 months, you've never been interviewed, and the vast majority of the media don't even know your name. But you participated in "Chinese Singer", I believe it won't be too long, and everything about your past will be found out. ”

Fang Yan thought, sure enough, it was a shallow and deep talk.

Cao Weiran opened the drawer, took out an envelope, and said, "I asked the best company in Yanjing to help me do the investigation, and I believe that you don't know the cause and effect of this matter." ”

There was a complete copy of the case file in the envelope, and Lao Cao really had great powers.

"You were only 17 years old and didn't know anything about the world. Do you really think that if a 17-year-old turns himself in, the police will believe you?

Fang Yan looked at the file, as if he had returned to the rainy night, the wet road reflected the light of the street lamps, and the ground was black with blood. Susu's panicked expression, her tears and gasps. Cao Weiran's words were still ringing in his ears.

"After you turned yourself in, the police quickly found a lot of suspicions, suspecting the owner of the car, surnamed Su. It was this Su Su's father, Su or something, in order to protect his daughter, who bought off the people of the Public Security Bureau and forged evidence to forcibly send you to prison. ”

"That's right. Fang Yan listened silently, not too surprised. He even thanked Susu's father a little. He was originally going to take care of Su Su, and he didn't regret it.

"But he did it very poorly. Most of the people involved were arrested for corruption. It's no secret anymore. I'm just an ordinary person, I can investigate, and of course others can. ”

"Oh. ”

"There's one more thing you should know as well. I'm not the only one looking into you. Feedback last month said that there were also people secretly investigating the crash that year. I was curious, so I asked them to check it for me, and the result was ...... The other party refused. It's not about money, it's about the power of the other party, it's far beyond the capabilities of the investigative company. They didn't dare to look it again. ”

Fang Yan didn't want to think about what this "terrible force" was, but said again: "It's all in the past." ”

"How can it be? Tell you a truth, history is reality. Cao Weiran smiled bitterly. "So, that's the problem we have to face, it's tricky. My suggestion is to give a media interview before you officially participate in the audition of "Chinese Singer", and explain the causes and consequences of this incident clearly, so as not to leave any trouble. ”

Fang Yan smiled and said, "That's impossible. ”

"What do you mean?"

"What if I tell the truth, Susu?"

"She made a mistake and of course she was responsible. And you are also guilty of harboring, of course, you have been in prison for no reason for 5 years, and you should not be prosecuted again, at most it will only be a suspended sentence. ”

Fang Yan said: "I was imprisoned for 5 years just so that she could live a good life. ”

"No, you're sinning. ”

"I know, so I went to jail. ”

"You, you!" Cao Weiran was furious. This Fang Yan has a clear mind and a high IQ, but he just treats his future as child's play. He added: "If you think about it, if you have 50 years of music life in the future, are you willing to give up for 5 years in prison?"

"Teacher Cao, I can't betray my past choice......"

Cao Weiran was really angry, he had a bad temper, and if he were someone else, he would have been furious. After enduring his anger for a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "Go to dinner first, and I'll take you to the recording in the afternoon." ”

"Okay. ”

As he was talking, Fang Yan's phone rang, and it was Qian Ning calling. Fang Yan pressed it down. A minute later, Channing hit again. Fang Yan glanced at Cao Weiran apologetically and picked up the phone.

"What are you doing?" asked Channing.

"I'm ...... now"

"My grandfather is going to talk to you. Qian Ning didn't really want to know what Fang Yan was doing, and before he finished speaking, he handed the phone to his grandfather, the old man's voice was very high, his voice became unprecedentedly serious, he was silent for a second, and said, "Xiao Yan." ”

"Uh, grandpa, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. ”

“…… Oooh. ”

"Listen to me, Little Rock. This afternoon, someone will call you and pick you up and go somewhere. Then, you're going to play the piano to someone. You don't want to do anything today, take your piano with you, and wait for this call. ”

"I don't understand, who's calling me?"

Old man Qian was still very serious, and his voice became irresistible: "You have to put down big things! Don't tell anyone about this, do you understand?"

"Understood. ”

"Grandpa won't harm you, this matter has some benefits for you. Just let them arrange everything. ”

"Okay. ”

After Old Man Qian finished speaking, Fang Yan thought that Qian Ning would tell him something more, but he didn't expect her to hang up the phone directly. Fang Yan was a little baffled.
