After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 500

The phone vibrated.

Seeing that it was Ning Lan calling, Ji Wenwu got up and walked quickly into the room without caring about his daughter's anger.

Closing the door behind his back, and coming to the window, Ji Wenwu looked at the dark sky outside the window, took a deep breath, and then picked up the phone.

This call is about the fate of her daughter!
"Okay, thank you Ning Lan."

The call lasted about 3 minutes, and before hanging up, Ji Wenwu's thank you was definitely not false and did not hurt innocent people. As long as Ji Xiaolan apologized publicly, the company would give him a moderate punishment. This result was better than he expected much.

As for Rolling Snow Records, there should be no violation of the regulations, otherwise Hua Can would retaliate with an eye and turn over his daughter's old account. In his opinion, it is not only not excessive, but also a matter of course.

If it were him, he would never be tolerant again and again.

Ji Wenwu's heart that had been hanging for a few days was finally ready to let go. He let out a long breath, put away his phone, turned and walked out of the room.

Back in the living room, his daughter was not there, so Ji Wenwu raised his eyes to see another closed door and knocked on it.

There was no response from inside, Ji Wenwu turned the doorknob again, and found that it was locked, he knocked again, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, Time Records will hold a press conference. If you want to attend a public apology to Li Kai, the company will also Announcing your punishment, downgrading and staying in office, you will return to the capital with me after the meeting, and before the bet is over, stay at home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and you are not allowed to contact anyone."

The tone is unmistakable.

It took a while for the door to open from the inside. Ji Xiaolan met her father's gaze and said expressionlessly, "It's fine to apologize publicly. I will accept the company's punishment, but I won't go back."

Ji Wenwu laughed angrily: "You have to continue to toss, one wave just flattened, another wave rises again, right?"

Ji Xiaolan didn't answer, her eyes were stubborn.

Ji Wenwu pointed at her: "You really are hopeless."

Ji Xiaolan retorted: "Dad, if the bet is lost, Time Records will change owners. If I go back to Gunxue, it won't be idle. If you voted yes, you must be implicated. Your position as music director may not be guaranteed." .”

Ji Wenwu interrupted: "You don't need to think about these things"

Ji Xiaolan turned her face away, curled her lips and said, "Anyway, I won't go back. I'm such an old man, I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do. Don't worry about my affairs."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and closed the door with his backhand, making a muffled bang.

Looking at the re-closed door, Ji Wenwu's face turned blue and pale, and he opened his mouth several times, trying to tell the serious consequences of Ji Xiaolan's further mischief, but he held back in the end.

He knew his daughter well, and when she was stubborn, she would not turn back until she hit the wall, and the more he provoked her, the more stubborn she became.

Ji Wenwu sat in the living room for half an hour and smoked five cigarettes. He didn't open the door of his daughter's room again, and he didn't bother him anymore. He went back to the other room and stood in front of the window for a while, then took out his mobile phone , called Mr. Luo.

The other end rang a few times, and it was connected, and Mr. Luo's voice came: "Old Ji, it's so late, what's the matter?"

The voice was deep but clear, obviously Mr. Luo was not asleep yet.

"Mr. Luo, now that the bet has come to an end, you and I know in our hearts that Gunxue has already lost [-]%. Next, shall we resign ourselves to fate, or?"

He paused for a moment before saying, "Old Ji, what do you think?"

"Abiding by the terms of the betting contract is to be resigned to fate. As for the illegal operation, it has happened once before. Nisuo, Huage, and Daishi's position is also biased towards Huacan. If they play it again, the risk will be great. It’s a good guess, not to mention that there will be many people in the company who will oppose it.”

Ji Wenwu said it tactfully, but his attitude is already very clear, that is, it is not feasible to operate in violation of regulations again!
There was silence on the other end. After a while, Mr. Luo's voice became a little loose: "The bet has not yet come to an end. Four Dog Days is a rookie group. Before their debut, they have been in the underground music circle for more than three years. Detained, drummer and guitarist also had bad deeds, Kong Yanyin debuted for almost three years, had a boyfriend before, and that boyfriend was a hypocrite."

The point is over, and then said: "As long as the sales of Four Dog Days and Kong Yanyin drop by 20%, Ya Qing and Shu Zhen will be guaranteed to enter the top five, and Gun Xue will also win the bet."

Obedient and listening, Ji Wenwu understood Mr. Luo's meaning, or rather, Mr. Luo's decision.

He hesitated for a moment, and didn't mention the consequences of Hua Can's retaliation. He knew very well that if he said it, it would only make Boss Luo feel bad for him, but he would never change his mind, because of the possibility of various future troubles caused by illegal operations, It was supposed to be there.

After ending the call, Ji Wenwu silently shook his head.

Looking at the Shang Xuanyue in the night sky on the window sill, Ji Wenwu stood still for a long time, then turned around and left the room, came to the door of his daughter's room, raised his hand and knocked, but there was no response, and when he knocked again, there was still no response.

After knocking four or five times like this, there was still no movement at all. Ji Wenwu looked down, and there was a dim light shining through the gap between the door and the floor. It was obvious that his daughter was still asleep.

Ji Wenwu didn't continue to knock on the door, walked to the sofa and sat down silently, and lit a cigarette.

The rising smoke obscured his deep face, and when a cigarette was about to burn out, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had made a certain decision.

The next day.

Li woke up late and arrived at the company half an hour later than the work time. He was stopped by Zhang Linxiao who was waiting at the gate of the office area, and they went to Qiao Li's office together.

Qiao Li stopped what she was doing, and said: "Liu Mingliang's manager contacted me just now, you, Liu Mingliang, and Guo Yifu's three-person chorus, the Spring Festival Gala group has passed the preliminary review, and the specific songs need to be reviewed. The new work sung by others is faxed to the past.”

Li opened his eyes, took a cup of black tea from Zhang Linxiao, blew on it, took a sip, and said, "What about the chorus between Murphy and Ning Lan?"

Qiao Li nodded slightly: "The first trial has passed."

After all, he pushed a copy in front of Li Kai.

"what?"

"The shortlist for each award in the annual two awards ceremony."

Qiao Li pointed to the copy and said: "Last night you left half an hour early, and you faxed it at five o'clock, Billboard, you were shortlisted for the best lyricist of the year, best composer, best album, most popular Male singer, and "Qilixiang" and "Heart Like a Knife" were shortlisted for the top ten classic music awards, and a total of six awards were nominated."

"The same goes for the Golden Melody Chart. There are more awards for outstanding contributions to the music scene. There are seven nominations in total."

"So many" Li opened his eyes and looked a little dazed. He only released his first album in February this year, which is less than most first-line singers.

However, the number of awards nominated is more than last year's Newcomer Year.

Qiao Li glanced at him: "Although you only released one album and rarely exposed in front of the camera, your influence lies there. According to the usual practice, the best male singer award is given to male singers who have debuted for more than three years." Eligibility to be shortlisted, the Outstanding Contribution Award in the music industry, the convention is that singers who have debuted for more than five years, or musicians are eligible to be shortlisted, and you have only debuted for more than a year, which is a big exception."

After finishing speaking, the topic changed: "However, you are not the singer with the most awards."

Li stared blankly: "There are more, who is it?"

Zhang Linxiao quickly replied: "He Jingyun, each of the two rankings has been shortlisted for 7 awards, a total of 14 awards, the Music New Voice Award, the Best New Female Singer, the Newcomer King Award, the Best Female Singer Award, "A Thousand Thousand Que Songs", "Heavenly Songs" "If You Have Love" and "I Do" were shortlisted for the Top Ten Classical Music Awards."

Qiao Li added: "Last year, the Rookie King Award was added just for you. Compared with the status of a singer, your identity as a songwriter is more important. However, this year's Rookie King Award is not only for He Jingyun, but also for you." The future girl, but the ultimate winner of the Rookie Award will most likely be He Jingyun."

While talking, the phone on the desk rang.

Qiao Li reached out her hand to pick up the phone, and after hearing a few words from the other end, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

Li opened his eyes, and when Qiao Li hung up the phone, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Li frowned, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Yesterday at noon, Vice President Zheng, Chief Supervisor Li, and President Xue mentioned the interview article about your unspoken rules at the time when we were having dinner together. They are going to jointly sign this morning It is proposed to convene a board of directors and require the company to make an explanation to the outside world as soon as possible, that is, Ji Xiaolan should bear the main responsibility."

Speaking of this, his tone softened: "I was called by Vice President Zheng just now. Half an hour ago, Ji Wenwu, the music director of Rolling Snow Records, Ji Xiaolan's father, was interviewed by the media and publicly declared that the interview article Ji Xiaolan provided the content to the writer privately for his benefit, and admitted that it was groundless speculation."

"The reason for this is because many singers under Gunxue and Huacan had asked you to sing, but you rejected them. Therefore, he is personally dissatisfied with you."

"In this way, he is tantamount to destroying his reputation at the cost of picking the responsibility for this matter alone, and Gunxue will definitely announce his treatment in the future. The position of music director may not be guaranteed in all likelihood. "

When it came to the end, Qiao Li's tone was unconsciously a little confusing. From the company's point of view, there was no reason for Rolling Snow Records to let a music director take the blame, and that was a core executive who was comparable to a vice president.

From a personal point of view, even if it is to protect her daughter, there is no reason to be self-deprecating. You must know that as long as Ji Wenwu sits as the music director of Gunxue, even if Ji Xiaolan's reputation is ruined, she still has a lot of future. In [-], taking a step back, leaving the music circle, you can also rely on your father's connections to develop in related industries.

Qiao Li couldn't figure it out, and Li Kai couldn't figure it out even more. He had let go last night, but Ning Lan still called Ji Wenwu in front of him. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen after one night?
at the same time.

Ji Xiaolan, who was still on her way to work, received a call from Wei Haonan. After hearing the news, she was stunned. She was in a daze for seven or eight minutes before she came back to her senses and hurriedly called her father, but there was a message that the phone was turned off. beep.

Only then did she remember that her father had left a note on the dining table in the morning, saying that the plane back to the capital at 9:45 this morning was already almost 10 o'clock, so she should be on the plane.

10 minute later.

When Ji Xiaolan arrived at the company, she went straight to the director's office.

Usually in the company, she still understands some basic rules, but now she is so anxious that she doesn't care about it, instead of knocking on the door, she just pushes the door and enters.

"Uncle Ge, what's going on, why is my dad taking the blame?"

Before Ge Guangqi could speak, Ji Xiaolan asked anxiously.

Ge Guangqi didn't care about her tone, and shook his head slowly: "I don't know either. I called Gunxue just now, but I was at a loss over there. I called Mr. Ji, and the phone was turned off again."

After a pause, he said again: "I inquired about it. The media interview Ji Zong accepted at the Shenzhen Airport was not arranged by the company. He should have contacted him himself."

"How could this be? What is my father doing?"

Ji Xiaolan didn't sit down, but walked back and forth, restless.

At this time, the phone on the desk rang, and Ge Guangqi picked it up. The call lasted for 5 minutes, and Ji Xiaolan hesitated to speak several times, before turning around and leaving.

As soon as she left the office, Ge Guangqi said to the other end: "Old Su, I have something to do here, let's do it first."

Then, he hung up the phone slowly, looked towards the office door, and silently shook his head.

Ji Xiaolan left Ge Guangqi's office and then went to Vice President Song's office.

Vice President Song's answer was exactly the same as Ge Guangqi's. It was not an arrangement by the company. It should be an interview with the media contacted by his father himself. Now he can't contact President Ji, and the situation is unknown.

Ji Xiaolan wanted to say something else, but the secretary came in and reminded Vice President Song to have a meeting. Vice President Song apologized, picked up the folder, and accompanied Ji Xiaolan out of the office.

Afterwards, Ji Xiaolan returned to her office, and just as she sat down, Wei Haonan knocked on the door and came in.

Wei Haonan comforted Ji Xiaolan a few words, and then handed over a piece of paper: "Xiaolan, the situation of the Four Dog Days Band and Kong Yanyin is written on it, please contact me quickly, this matter should be resolved sooner rather than later."

Ji Xiaolan held it in his hand and glanced at it, but he didn't intend to contact him immediately. Seeing this, Wei Haonan said, "Xiaolan, your father must have his considerations, so don't think too much about it. The most important thing now is the bet. As long as Gunxue wins the bet, everything will be fine, I heard from Mr. Luo that the company has already made an internal decision, and if you win the bet, your father will come to Time Records as the general manager."

Ji Xiaolan was startled: "My dad will be the general manager?"

Wei Haonan nodded: "Once the bet is won, Huacan will be merged into Time Records. There are Ning Lan in Guangchao, Future Girls, and a lot of frontlines. The lineup of singers is stronger than Rolling Snow. Your father is the most suitable person to take care of it. The power is also much greater than in the past.”

These words played a consoling effect, but Ji Xiaolan was still a little worried: "My dad took the responsibility, and the company won't punish him?"

Wei Haonan pondered for a while, and said: "Punishment will definitely be imposed, but it will not be too serious. Whether your father is a shareholder or a senior executive at the vice president level, as long as Mr. Luo doesn't nod, no one can touch your father."

Ji Xiaolan felt that it made sense, her uneasy heart calmed down a bit, and she rubbed her temples. After Wei Haonan urged a few more words, she took out a phone blog from the drawer, turned to the third page, and pointed at the name on a business card. The phone call went out.
