The CEO of Cool Music is Zheng Feng, who is already over 40 years old this year.
It is extremely rare for someone of his age to have achieved what he has today.
His background is not very good, he can step by step become the CEO of Cool Music, and his ability and hard work are inseparable.
Although he has reached the pinnacle of his life, searching for different music and checking various emails every day is still his main task.
After he went to work, he opened his computer to check emails. After seeing an email, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The email was sent by a music planner named Xu Fei, and according to the companys rules, problems need to be reported level by level, so his direct report is a bit out of line.
Zheng Feng naturally understood that doing so would make many peoples ideas unfeasible or even stillborn, but if all subordinates could report directly to him like this, he feared he would have no rest time.
Thats why he did this, just to save time and let him handle the most important things.
For emails like this that skip levels of hierarchy, he generally wouldnt read them and would immediately dispatch someone to investigate whats going on.
But today his mood was good, and he hadnt encountered such a thing for a long time. Driven by curiosity, he opened the email, and inside there were only two songs.
Zheng Feng opened the song "Im Not Going to Work Tomorrow" and listened to it once. After listening, he smiled and thought it was quite interesting, then he opened the song "Red Sun".
When the melody of "Red Day" sounded, Zheng Fengs expression suddenly tightened, and then he ordered someone to call Xu Fei to his office.
Zheng Fengs office is usually visited by high-level executives of the company, so when a small music planner like Xu Fei enters his office for the first time, it quickly sets off a stir throughout the entire company, with everyone speculating why Zheng Feng had summoned Xu Fei to see him.
In this company, many things are not secrets, so soon someone knew what was going on, and when they learned that it was because of Zheng Feis overstepping reporting, they all looked down on Xu Fei.
"This kid is probably in trouble."
"Who would have thought, he actually dared to bypass Chief Editor Li and send an email directly to the president, his guts are quite big."
"Well just wait and see what happens."
Everyone was discussing it, and Li Wei naturally also knew about it. After he found out, he was very angry. Xu Feis behavior obviously didnt put him in his eyes. He hoped that Zheng Feng would fire this kid.
And he believed that Zheng Feng would fire Xu Fei, because someone had been fired for skipping levels to report earlier, and this was a lesson from the past. If he didnt get fired this time, theres no way to convince everyone.
Li Wei thought so, and his heart finally felt a little more at ease.
Just then, while they were chatting and laughing, Xu Fei entered Zheng Fengs office.
He was a bit nervous, he knew the consequences of doing so, but he still did it, and he didnt know what his fate would be.
After entering, he shouted: "President."
Zheng Fengs national character face was not particularly handsome, but due to his identity, he was full of charm. He slightly raised his head and took a glance at Xu Fei, then asked: "Do you know the consequences of sending an email that skips levels?"
Xu Fei nodded: "I know, its possible Ill be fired."
Zheng Fengs mouth twitched slightly as he asked again, "Since you know, why are you still sending it?"
Xu Fei hesitated for a moment and said: "Those are two great songs, the singer is also a very promising person, I dont want the company to miss such a good opportunity."
After finishing speaking, Xu Fei lowered his head. This reason, Im afraid many people who have jumped the gun and reported to higher authorities have said it before, but werent they still fired just the same?
Rules are rules, and a company needs its employees to follow them; otherwise, wouldnt it be chaotic?
He understands all of these.
He lowered his head, waiting for Zheng Fengs scolding, but there was none. All he heard was Zheng Feng asking: "How much is this Tang Xiaotian worth?"
"Red Day he wants to charge by download and click rate, Lao Zi Tomorrow No Work he wants 500,000 yuan." He then hastily explained: "500,000 now seems a bit too much, but if we can cooperate with him in the long term, I think it will be very beneficial for our companys development."
Zheng Feng fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Give Lao Zi 1 million for Tomorrow Im Not Going to Work, but make it clear that in the future, if theres a choice to be made, Cool Music should be the first option."
Xu Fei was shocked by these words: "Chairman?"
He thought Zheng Feng wouldnt agree to it, but he didnt expect that not only did Zheng Feng agree, but also directly doubled the price. This kind of treatment is something even first-line singers have never had before.
He thought Zheng Feng must have gone mad, he thought he was already crazy enough, but didnt expect Zheng Feng to be even crazier than him.
Seeing Xu Feis expression, Zheng Feng smiled: "I really like his song Red Day, just for that song Red Day, his song Im not going to work tomorrow is worth this price, you go and arrange it."
Zheng Feng finished speaking, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Right, deducting one months salary from you, as punishment for your overstepping of authority in reporting, go."
Xu Fei was very happy, he didnt care about a months salary, for him, being able to discover good music was more important than his salary, he was a true music lover.
Xu Fei left in a hurry, and Zheng Feng opened that song "Red Day" again and listened to it once more.
Fate is unpredictable and ever-changing
Fate is full of twists and turns
Fate may be intimidating, but being human is not boring
Dont shed tears, dont be heartbroken, and even more so, dont give up
I wish I could spend my whole life accompanying you forever.
This song touches him deeply.
At the age of 25, he started struggling in Bohai City and had a girlfriend. The two had said that they would strive together and then build a warm home.
But when they were young, they had no connections and had to take things one step at a time. Their fate was turbulent and unpredictable, with twists and turns. For a period of time, they even worried about how to pay for their next meal.
In such a situation, he still wanted to be with his girlfriend forever, but reality was cruel and she eventually left him.
He wondered if they had heard this song on their way home from work, walking towards the setting sun, whether they would have been able to persevere.
Unfortunately not.
What cant be obtained is often the most precious, what has left will always be remembered. Although hes now married with children, he still occasionally thinks of the past and the various interesting things they did together when walking home from work.
This is a very sincere song, Zheng Feng thought of the past because of this song, but also felt the power from it, and he was clear that the person who could create such a song must be extremely talented.
If we can continue to cooperate, it will be a very beneficial thing for the development of the company.
As a person and in doing things, when looking at the long-term, he appreciates this song because of his emotional attachment, but also values Tang Xiaotians talent.
