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

Chapter 31 Victims

Tianyi Records.

Xu Qian'er walked in the passage with a strange expression on her face.

The sales volume in the first five days was 1.9, of which record companies, industry insiders, and some related personnel digested at least 2 copies as a base, and the real market sales were only 1.7.

This result is really unsightly. You know, the total cost of her album production and promotion has reached 50. The company's expectation for her is to sell 40 copies. On the quasi-second line.

The cruel facts were like pouring a basin of cold water on her head, chilling her heart.

Xu Qian'er lowered her head and walked in a hurry. When passing by the locker room, the door suddenly opened. Xu Qianer paused, and met Xu Qiaoling who came out of the locker room.

Xu Qian'er had nowhere to vent her anger, raised her eyebrows, and shouted loudly: "Xu Qiaoling, you are really famous now. The company's working hours are at nine o'clock, and you didn't come until 10:30. You are treating the company as your own home." ?”

"None of your business!" Xu Qiaoling comes from a small county town on the fourth and fifth tiers. She has a somewhat low self-esteem in her personality and has always been low-key. exception.

This woman joined the company later than her, and the sales of her first single were not as good as hers, yet she snatched away her album approval, and even picked her nose and eyes, why?

Xu Qian'er became angry when Xu Qiaoling turned her face away, and stretched out her hand to push Xu Qiaoling. Xu Qiaoling was caught off guard, staggered, and her back hit the door frame, gasping for air in pain.

Xu Qianer refused to let her go, and vented all her brains: "A country bumpkin, who dishonestly stays in the fields and farms, runs to the city to shame people, and dreams of becoming a singer, and doesn't take a mirror to look at himself. Airports like yours don’t even accept girls in nightclubs, and with your moaning voice, normal people can hear depression.”

"Slap!" The unbearable abuse completely aroused Xu Qiaoling's anger, and the pain eased, she rushed forward and slapped her hand.

Xu Qian'er was stunned, she never dreamed that Xu Qiaoling would dare to slap her. A moment later, she rushed towards Xu Qiaoling like crazy, and the two girls wrestled together.

The movement here alarmed the rest of the company, and everyone rushed over to separate the two girls. In the end, Director Fu also came, and taught the two girls a lesson, before asking why.

Xu Qianer said that Xu Qiaoling slapped her. Xu Qiaoling said that Xu Qianer scolded her first and pushed her. Xu Qianer said that Xu Qiaoling was late for more than an hour but didn't take it seriously. She explained that she had a cold and fever last night, and she overslept after taking the medicine. When she left the house, she found a public phone booth and called Deputy Director Cao to ask for leave, but there was no one in the Deputy Director Cao's office.
Director Fu became impatient after hearing a few words, and waved his hand: "Xu Qiaoling, I don't care what your reason is, it's a fact that you were late, and it's also a fact that you slapped your colleagues. In the company, the influence is very bad. Lao Cao is running publicity in other places, and I will meet him when he comes back. You'd better be mentally prepared for how to deal with it."

Director Fu glanced at Xu Qian'er again: "This week's publicity is very important. Tonight, I will be broadcasting live on the radio station in JN City. I have nothing to do. Let's go early."

At the end of the sentence, he turned and left.

Everyone followed suit, and before leaving, they looked at Xu Qiaoling in unison, with either pity, indifference, or schadenfreude.

Director Fu's words are clear enough to make Xu Qiaoling mentally prepared, nine out of ten she will be refrigerated, and when the contract expires, the company will not renew her contract.

The release of the single in a few days will not be put on hold. After all, the company has already invested in production costs, but the possibility of reducing promotional resources is not ruled out. In addition, even if the sales volume reaches 6, 8, or even 10, there will be no more album projects. Opportunity.

It is tantamount to a death sentence for Xu Qiaoling's singing journey!
At the door of the locker room, Xu Qiaoling was the only one left, standing there in a daze, with a bleak look on her face.

Obviously she is the victim, she should be the plaintiff, why is she labeled as the defendant?
How could Director He not distinguish between right and wrong, favor one over another, how could everyone turn a blind eye like this, let alone stand up and say something fair for her, without even a symbolic comfort.

Xu Qiaoling couldn't figure it out, it was because she was too young and lacked awareness of the brutal competition in the workplace, while Cao Pengfei, who was out of town, had a lot of experience, received a call from the secretary and learned what happened at the door of the locker room. After turning around a few times, I figured out what was wrong.

The company has three deputy music directors, he is the most senior one, and there is no harmony with Director He. From the second half of last year to now, the company has released four albums and four singles. Sales are unsatisfactory.

Director He must know that the big boss is getting more and more dissatisfied with him, and the idea of ​​moving him is getting stronger and stronger, but Tianyi Records is only a second-tier, it is difficult to find a really talented music director from the circle, and the entire company, The only person who is qualified to take his place is Cao Pengfei.

That's why, before Xu Qiaoling's album project approval was taken away by Xu Qianer, on the one hand, Xu Qianer was a newcomer discovered by Director He, and on the other hand, Xu Qiaoling was brought up by him, Cao Pengfei.

But this time, Director He intensified his efforts, apparently to deal ruthless blows to Xu Qiaoling. The fundamental reason was that Xu Qianer's new album sold poorly in the first week, which caused Director He a strong crisis of unstable position.

Xu Qiaoling is your Cao Pengfei's person, you can't even keep your own subordinates, who will follow you wholeheartedly, with the shrewdness of the big boss, how can you rest assured to let you take the position of director?
Without suitable candidates, no matter how dissatisfied the big boss is, he can only turn a blind eye and maintain the status quo of the company.

To put it bluntly, Xu Qiaoling was a victim used by Director He to suppress Cao Pengfei.

Cao Pengfei's face was filled with sullenness. He picked up the phone and was about to call the big boss. He dialed three numbers, but his fingers stopped suddenly. He sighed and put the receiver back. Director He is facing each other head-on, is it worth it for a newcomer?
One of his third-tier singers, who sold 40 copies of his last album in nine months, will release a new album in two months. The total cost of the new album is 60, which can be described as a heavy investment. He has given him high hopes. Once the harvest is gratifying With his outstanding achievements, his weight in the heart of the big boss will also overwhelm Director He in one fell swoop.

Little can't bear to make big plans, it's not suitable to fall out with Director He right now.

After thinking about it, Cao Pengfei picked up the phone again, this time to call Xu Qiaoling, the single would be released in a few days, so if he didn't seek justice for her, he would at least say a few words of relief.

But after dialing five numbers, his fingers stopped again. Cao Pengfei shook his head silently, and put the microphone back again.

Director Fu's big knife has been raised, Xu Qiaoling must not be able to avoid it, since she doesn't intend to stand up for Xu Qiaoling, a condolence call will give Xu Qiaoling illusions that she shouldn't have.

That's all, just try to fight for Xu Qiaoling in terms of handling.

Thinking this way, Cao Pengfei had convinced himself that he would stop thinking about it.
