At half past three in the afternoon, Cai Wenji visited Jian'an headquarters, and the general manager Cao Zihuan personally received it, and the two chatted about the "Eighteen Beats" concert. ”

Cao Zihuan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I noticed, just when I saw the micro-blog you transferred, Wen Ji also thinks that boy has potential?" ”

Cai Wenji nodded and said: "The timbre is very recognizable, the key is that the song is well written, the lyrics are not complicated, and they are not deliberately carved, but they can move people's hearts." Well, I wanted to ask him to write me a song. ”

The corners of Cao Zihuan's eyes twitched, and he smiled: "That's definitely his honor, leave this matter to me." ”

Cao Zihuan also understood at this time, Cai Wenji came to Jian'an in person today, and it is estimated that the main reason is to ask me to help her ask Ning Qingzhou for a song, so she should have known that Ning Qingzhou was forming a band with Cao Xian, but because of the contradictory relationship between Cao Xian and his family, he thought of asking me to come forward.

"Then it's troublesome Mr. Cao." Cai Wenji said with a smile, with a sense of expectation on her face, and Cao Zihuan secretly wondered.

"It's a trivial matter, it just so happens that I'm going to inspect him again in the next few days, and if there is no problem, I should sign it. By the way, Wen Ji, do you have any requirements for this new song? ”

Cai Wenji said: "I think, for specific requirements, let's talk to him face-to-face at that time." ”

Cao Zihuan nodded "um" and said, "It should be so." ”

After confirming the invitation to Ning Qingzhou, the conversation about the business basically came to an end, Cai Wenji was about to get up and say goodbye, the company's front desk suddenly hurriedly ran over, knocked on the door and called "Mr. Cao", Cao Zihuan frowned and said: "What are you doing, don't you see who I'm receiving?" ”

The front desk looked anxious and said, "Mr. Cao, Miss Xian is here, clamoring to see you, but she was stopped in the hall by Manager Xu." ”

Cai Wenji took the opportunity to get up and said, "Then Mr. Cao, go get busy, I'm just leaving." ”

"Why don't you eat and then leave? I also want to have dinner with Shuihong's boss. ”

Cai Wenji hurriedly waved her hand and smiled: "Mr. Cao spared me, I asked the dance teacher to line the dance." ”

Cao Zihuan also stood up with a smile and said, "Since I have a job, I have to do it next time." Wen Ji danced, and I was looking forward to it. ”

Cai Wenji laughed and said: "Mr. Cao, ...... you use this word"

Saying that, Cao Zihuan accompanied Cai Wenji to take the elevator downstairs, and as soon as he arrived at the hall on the first floor, he saw Cao Xian confronting Xu Zhongkang, Cao Xian said: "I don't embarrass you, just call Cao Zihuan out." ”

Xu Zhongkang used to be Cao Mengde's personal bodyguard, and his status in Jian'an is relatively special, so when Cao Xian broke in, the security guards of the whole company, only he dared to stop him, even so, he would never dare to be rude to Cao Xian, and he was intimate, but it was an iron rule for people to do things, looking at the entire Jian'an, how many people dared to call Mr. Cao by his name?

"Zhongkang, go ahead." Cao Zihuan said a word and walked up to Cao Xian, "You go to my office first and wait for me, and I'll send someone away." ”

Cao Xian sneered and said, "No need Mr. Cao, I don't have much to say, just one sentence." Cao Xian stared at Cao Zihuan fiercely, his face was full of disdain and ridicule, and continued: "You can talk to Ning Qingzhou about cooperation, if he wants, you can also sign him, but in this process, if you provoke his friends, I will make you ugly and ugly at any cost!" ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Cao Zihuan's face also turned cold.

Cao Xian smiled and said, "You know. Then he turned and left the hall.

Cao Zihuan's eyes flashed with anger, and then he lightly reprimanded him for "nonsense", and then walked towards Cai Wenji with a wry smile helplessly, shook his head and sighed: "It's too capricious." ”

Cai Wenji was inconvenient to comment, smiled, and then thought of something, and said: "By the way, Mr. Cao, if the boy is inconvenient to write songs, forget it, if there is anything embarrassing, it will go against the original intention." ”

Cao Zihuan said: "Wen Ji rest assured, I have a sense of proportion, since it is cooperation, of course, I must ensure that everyone is happy." ”

Cai Wenji nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first, and Mr. Cao will stay." ”

After Cai Wenji left, Cao Zihuan's face that seemed to be pretending to be an organ sank instantly, and when he returned to the general manager's office, he immediately called Wu Jizhong and scolded him for splitting his head and covering his face.

After scolding Wu Jizhong, Cao Zihuan's mood eased slightly, but when he remembered what Cao Xian said just now, he couldn't help but become angry again, according to the established plan, he had prepared at least three sets of plans to completely subdue that Ning Qingzhou, but Cao Xian was so stirred up, at least two of them could not be implemented so smoothly.

As the general manager of Jian'an and the boss of the Cao family, Cao Zihuan certainly doesn't have to be afraid of Cao Xian, but now that the matter involves Cao Xian, and it is almost a historical repetition of the "He Yili Incident", he finally feels that he is at a loss, no matter which aspect he says, he has to consider Cao Xian as a variable.

Although Cao Xian has fallen out with his family, Cao Zihuan knows very well in his heart that although his father has never given up on this daughter, his mother has always cared about her life, in addition, the second uncle who has a mysterious identity, plays a pivotal role in the family, and plays a key role in this Xiong'an battle, also loves Cao Xian very much, if she really annoys her, she really has the ability to make me "ugly and ugly", the last forced marriage incident, she didn't trouble me because I carried out my father's order, this time, it won't be so easy.

By the way, and Cai Wenji!

Cao Zihuan leaned back on the chair, his body kept swaying back and forth, and his right index finger subconsciously knocked on the armrest, falling into deep thought from the long term.

At 10:25 a.m. the next day, Ning Qingzhou appeared at the Tongquetai Hotel, and Wu Jizhong, who had been waiting for him at the front desk, took him to the VIP private room, and as soon as the door of the private room opened, Ning Qingzhou saw a young man with a medium stature wearing a black jacket sitting inside, and Cao Zijian looked a little similar between his eyebrows and eyes, and there was no doubt that it was Cao Zihuan.

"Come in." Cao Zihuan looked up at Ning Qingzhou, didn't get up, waved his hand and said.

Ning Qingzhou entered the house, and Wu Jizhong consciously withdrew and closed the door with his hand.

"Sit." Cao Zihuan greeted.

Ning Qingzhou sat down on the sofa opposite Cao Zihuan, looked at Cao Zihuan calmly, Cao Zihuan raised his eyes and looked at him, nodded with a smile, and said, "Very star-like." ”

"Mr. Cao has won the award."

Cao Zihuan shook his head and said: "It's definitely not an award, I've watched your 'long time no see' video several times, as well as "Angel's Wings" and "Sea and Sky" are very good." ”

"Hmm." Ning Qingzhou was originally disgusted by Cao Zihuan's use of a coffee shop to threaten him, and after meeting him in person, his impression was even worse, so he just wanted to get to the point, solve the problem, and leave, not wanting to waste a second.

Cao Zihuan looked at Ning Qingzhou for a while, and said with a smile: "I heard that the song "Sea and Sky" is a song that you created on the spot, I was very surprised and curious after listening to it, I especially want to see it, I don't know if you can improvise a song now, for example, you walk around this room...... Seven steps and then make a new song? ”

"Seven steps into a song?"

"Let's just put it that way."

"Isn't this a test for you......" Ning Qingzhou had an idea and continued: "Brothers and sisters? ”

"Huh?"

"Seven steps of song, boil beans and burn beans, beans cry in the kettle. It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? ”

After hearing this, Cao Zihuan's face changed, and he asked, "This is written by Cao Xian?" ”

Ning Qingzhou smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

"It's the same root, why is it too anxious?" Cao Zihuan repeated it softly, then was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally shook his head with a sneer, and said: "She thinks it is a torment to be a brother and sister with me, how can I want her to be a sister who only cares about personal feelings regardless of the overall situation?" ”

Ning Qingzhou was silent.

Because of the sudden addition of Cao Xian in the topic, Cao Zihuan's mood of playing Tai Chi suddenly disappeared, and he said to Ning Qingzhou with a serious face: "I guess you also guessed, I came to you today because I think you have great potential and good musical talent, so I want to sign you into Jian'an and cultivate you as a future star." ”

Ning Qingzhou also directly refused: "First of all, thank you Mr. Cao for your kindness, but I don't want to sign a brokerage company so quickly now, and I want to be free for a few years." ”

"A few years of freedom?" Cao Zihuan smiled dumbly and said: "It seems that Xiao Ning, you don't know anything about the entertainment industry, let me tell you this, the most important thing or the first place in this circle is never talent and talent, but opportunity, and what about opportunity, it is very strange, once you miss it, it is difficult to encounter it again, so do you understand?" ”

"Yes, but I insist."

Cao Zihuan's face sank slightly, his eyes were like knives, and he stared at Ning Qingzhou quietly, this is his usual trick at the negotiation table, snatching people with his eyes and pressing people with momentum.

Ning Qingzhou met Cao Zihuan's gaze head-on, neither counterattacking nor retreating, calm as a pool of water.

After nearly ten seconds, Cao Zihuan knew that this trick was ineffective, and his mood gradually deteriorated, and said: "Xiao Ning, you may not know, we Jian'an are looking for artists, I rarely come forward in person, it can be said that there is almost nothing, but I called you to Tongquetai today, chatted with you so much, and expressed such great sincerity, but you gave me this answer, I can't say how satisfied I am." ”

Ning Qingzhou said: "To be honest, Mr. Cao, you are also the representative of the first brokerage company I met. ”

"Oh, it's my pleasure to say that?"

"Don't dare, I just want to explain that I don't want to join any company now."

"Then you want to sing in the square and the subway for the rest of your life?"

"What I think about it in the future, I don't know yet."

Cao Zihuan showed his trademark smirk and said, "Let me tell you this, Xiao Ning, after you rejected Jian'an, it will be very clear. ”

Ning Qingzhou shook his head and said, "I don't understand very much." ”

Cao Zihuan laughed, that kind of laughter seemed to be the sound of some kind of engine starting, and the frequency went from slow to fast: "What I mean is that if you want to fight alone, you can't stand in this circle." Cao Zihuan stretched out his hand and raised it in the air, and said: "I know what people like you think, because I have seen too much, I am proud of my talents, full of confidence, and I feel that as long as I am willing, I can immediately respond to every call." ”

Ning Qingzhou shook his head.

Cao Zihuan continued: "That's not the case, I can tell you clearly, Ning Qingzhou, it's not like this, this circle has its fixed rules of the game, if you want to jump out of the rules, you must not be able to play, more directly, you rejected me today, rejected Jian'an, and you can only sing at the subway entrance and the square in the future."

On the contrary, if you accept my invitation, soon after, you will soar to the sky, and in the future, you can even become a king-level superstar like Zijian, that is the real starry moon, the real peak of life, at that time, you can give full play to your talents and realize your own value. This is a very simple multiple-choice question. ”

Ning Qingzhou listened to these words, and suddenly remembered He Yili, did Cao Zihuan also throw this multiple-choice question to him at the beginning?

"I just want to ask, Mr. Cao," Ning Qingzhou continued, "If I don't promise you, will you deal with that little café?" ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you should also know that Jian'an is not only an entertainment company now, but also an investment company, and it will be involved in various fields, and it is not impossible to buy a street or two for investment."

This time it was Ning Qingzhou's turn to be silent, before he came to Tongque Terrace, he had experienced a very strange struggle in his heart, which was the wonderful pressure brought to him by the memory of another time and space.

Cao Zihuan invited him to Tongquetai, and a reaction to this news fermented in Ning Qingzhou's mind was: "Ambush five hundred knife and axe men behind the tent, smash the cup as a number, and capture it in one fell swoop!" ”

Immediately afterwards, he realized that this was the Blue Star, the Holy Huazhou People's Republic, not the troubled times where human life was like a mustard, here, everyone had to strictly abide by the Constitution of the Republic, Cao Zihuan may have set up a Hongmen banquet, but he would never dare to ambush the knife and axeman.

After listening to Cao Zihuan's answer, Ning Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Cao Xian had warned him, otherwise his threat would not be so itchy, so he also gave up his second plan and said: "Thank you again Mr. Cao, I have to go back to rehearsal, so I won't bother much." He stood up.

Cao Zihuan said lightly: "Rehearsal, do you want to participate in the Voice of Shenzhou?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll leave you alone." Cao Zihuan picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea.

When Ning Qingzhou left the private room and walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Mr. Cao has great ambitions, is in the prime of life, and is the best candidate to end the Han Dynasty." After speaking, he opened the door and left, leaving Cao Zihuan with a changing expression, this secret hidden deep in his heart, he had never told anyone, how did Ning Qingzhou know?

This sentence is the tip of the iceberg of the second plan prepared by Ning Qingzhou, he originally wanted to use the experience of a dynasty to bluff Cao Zihuan and force him to give up the target for a long time, but Cao Xian had already helped him get a vaccination.

However, this kind of bluffing experience is not enough, if you want to gallop in the entertainment industry in this world, you must pass the first level of the most literary and artistic level. Because only when he is truly strong can he have enough strength to protect Jiang Hanxue and his friends. ”

Ning Qingzhou walked out of Tongque Terrace, glanced back at the name of the hotel, and remembered the two poems: "Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, Tongque Chun is deeply locked by Erqiao." Then he turned around and strode towards the subway station
