Chapter 163 Rejection
Paris.

West Suburb Manor.

This private mansion belonging to the Kroll Group is currently having an extremely extravagant carnival party.

The stars are shining, and various supermodels and popular actresses come and go, 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 is in this circle will inevitably act according to their faces, and even be willing to be their lackeys.

Martin is the youngest son of the Kroll family. It is said that he has been studying in the United States for further studies. He only returned to the headquarters in France this year to participate in the business of the group.

Before that, his eldest brother, the eldest son of the group, had been working in the group and now served as the executive director.

As the saying goes, the most ruthless emperor's family is the same in a big family. He Xiao hardly needs to use his brain to imagine the inevitable discord between Martin and his elder brother.

Because the two brothers usually meet too little, there is no such thing as a deep brotherhood.

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. He will inevitably feel bad and even psychologically distorted.

This can be seen from his face.

With eagle nose and deep eyes, there is a kind of evil everywhere, and it seems that he is not the kind of person who is willing to be ordinary.

The old ancestor's saying "A face is born from the heart" is not bad at all sometimes.

at this time.

Following He Xiao and Carol's approach, several young men and women present also cast their gazes over, looking at him with playful smiles.

"Master Martin, let me introduce you. This is He Xiao, a Chinese player from the East Division."

Carol smiled politely but still awkwardly, and introduced with a little nervousness.

She is only a third-tier star abroad, and all the supermodel actresses present are older than her, so there is a kind of pressure invisibly.

In addition, she had just met this young master Martin, so she didn't know what his temperament was, so she inevitably seemed a little restrained when speaking.

Hearing the introduction, Martin was not in a hurry to speak.

Those narrow eyes swept over He Xiao's body inch by inch, like a monarch examining his prey, and after a while, he clapped his hands slowly.

"You are indeed the most powerful player in the East Division this year. Even the Sun Newspapers are impressed by you. It is really extraordinary."

He showed a strong interest in He Xiao, and ordered to a girl next to him: "Give me a seat."

A smile immediately bloomed on the female star's face, like a flower, why did she pull out a chair with a smile.

He Xiao didn't hesitate, sat up on it without changing his face, pursed his lips and responded, "Mr. Martin was joking."

He is also a person who has seen the storm now, compared to Carroll's nervousness in facing the top foreign dude circles, he is very relaxed on the contrary.

I was just puzzled by this young master Martin who didn't seem to be a serious person at first glance, and I asked myself to come here on purpose, there must be something wrong.

I just don't know if it's big or small.

"To be honest, I am also one of the contestants in this year's competition. I have listened to both of your songs, and I personally appreciate them."

Martin had a wicked smile on his face, pretending to be very hospitable, and poured He Xiao a glass of wine himself.

The splashing wine flowed out of the bottle and fell into the cup, and the entire dining hall fell silent for a moment.

"Mr. Martin, we Hua people pay attention to being straightforward. If you have something to say, just say it."

He Xiao looked down the bottle, but didn't reach out to pick up the glass of wine.

At the same time, he had vaguely guessed the other party's purpose in his heart.

"Ha ha."

Seeing that Martin was not angry when he heard this, the movement of his hands stopped, then his eyes shifted to He Xiao, and he said in a commanding tone: "I want you to write me a song."

As soon as these words came out, the scene became a little quiet again.

Some European and American musicians who are quite powerful in the circle are all in disbelief.

Because of Martin's status, if he wanted a piece of music, not to mention these people present, any pianist in the world would be very happy to hand over his masterpiece to him.

So Martin put away many excellent resources, but he took a fancy to He Xiao, a Chinese player, and specially invited him to his manor, which surprised many people.

Some stars who have been in the music circle began to look sideways at He Xiao again, wanting to see what is in this Chinese boy who has only become famous today, which deserves so much attention from the young master of the Kroll family.

Martin still had a naughty smile on his face, as if he was not at all worried that He Xiao would refuse.

Although he is the second son of the family, he still wants to make achievements and prove himself to the family.

And a successful person, in addition to having sufficient business acumen, also needs a wide range of social recognition.

At least when everyone mentions "Martin", they think of not only the identity of the children of the Kroll family, but also many other remarkable achievements.

Martin has received higher education since he was a child, and his family owns the entertainment industry, so he is quite proficient in Western musical instruments.

In fact, it's not just Martin, most of the rich second generations in this world have many abilities that ordinary people don't have.

Good family conditions allow them to win at the starting line. They can go to study abroad in resource-rich countries for further study, and rely on environmental factors to master multiple languages.

The rich second generation is not the waste of imagination, most of the rich second generation in reality have extremely high IQ and education.

Martin is one of the leaders. After returning to the group from studying in the United States, relying on his piano accomplishments that are not inferior 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 prestige in the society will skyrocket, and he will establish a brand-new talent profile, which is many times higher than that of a dude.

At least in the competition within the group, he can also take advantage.

So for this Isabella contest, from the very beginning, his goal was very clear.

champion!

For the championship, you can do whatever it takes.

In the audition for the four divisions, he came from the west division.

There were no outstanding talents in the West Division, but the other three divisions attracted him, especially the East Division, where He Xiao, who performed two original songs in a row, caught his eyes even more.

With his level of knowledge, he can naturally see the standard of He Xiao's two songs. Whether it is "Autumn Whispers" or "The Street Where the Wind Lives", they are both top choices in the industry.

So he moved his mind, he hoped that he could also have an original masterpiece of this level.

Ever since, the current situation came about after going through the twists and turns of the relationship between the parties.

……

He Xiao sat motionless on the chair.

He had already guessed what Martin was thinking, but it had just been confirmed.

After all, no matter in terms of background or connections, he has nothing worth noting for the young master of a multinational family.

The only value is that "talent".

To be honest, Martin is a person worth making friends with. Just because of the name of the Kroll family, he is also worthy of being courted by the executives of the entertainment industry all over the world. Just look at the top European and American female stars around him. We will know.

Huaguo is a society of personal feelings, and it pays attention to interpersonal relationships and making friends.

So if what he valued were other values ​​in He Xiao, maybe He Xiao would be more than happy to get to know him in a hypocritical way, and each would get what he needed.

It's a pity that what he took a fancy to was the piano music on the black phone.

The black mobile phone is not only He Xiao's biggest hole card, but also the wealth of civilization in another world. He Xiao never thought of exposing these things, or in exchange 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 with this matter."
