Chapter 6. Meeting with the employees (3)
"This is incredible…."
Zhao Tan muttered as he looked into the songs which were in the pen drive.
"President Ren, these songs are incredible"
I smiled when I heard him calling me president but I still relied calmly.
"I know, the songs are good, right"
"Not just good, they are incredible. With the first song, it will be perfect for a mini album. Although they are only lyrics, I can tell that the songs will be a hit. They are well written with feelings"
Hearing that, some of the employees came over to glance at the lyrics but most of them were just staring at me.
"Um, can you tell me who have written the songs?"
Shao Fang asked me. Hearing that question, all the people looked at me for answers. Even Zhao Tan who intently staring at the songs looked at me.
"It was written by someone I know very well"
"Did that person willing to make a contract with our company?"
"He already belonged to the company"
"Is that so"
"Um…May I know the name of the composer"
It was Zhao Tan who asked this time. He probably wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"The name of the composer who have written these songs is Ren"
"Huh???"
Hearing my answer, most of the people gasped. Even Uncle Zhang who was silent and calm today has a weird expression.
Shao Fang and Zhou Tan expressions were nearly indescribable. They were really stunned hearing that the composer was me.
"Are you really surprised knowing that I was the composer"
"No, president, it, it's just that it is really hard to believe that you are the composer"
Zhao Tan said with a confused expression.
"You could check it on the «China Music Library», if you don't believe me. Oh, the name of the song is «The most romantic thing» by the way."
Hearing that all of the people inside the room took out their phones and started searching in it.
«China Music Library» is a website which is controlled by the Chinese music association and the ministry of culture and several other institutions.
It is a reliable website which is used to register a song and copyright it.
It is hugely popular website as it is a website which even ordinary people can use without any restrictions.
"It's really true"
Zhao Tan muttered as he looked at me and his phone consecutively.
Soon, all the employees confirmed that what I said was the truth.
"Xiao Ren, didn't you went to a literature college, how come you can write songs?"
"Uncle Zhang, I always have talent in writing songs, it's just that till my father's death, I didn't realize it. I was probably restricting me before, now that my father is no more, I wanted to make his dream come true"
"…..You really have matured"
Uncle Zhang sighed as he said that. He was pretty close to my father, he must have received a shock when I father died.
"Do you really think that I can't back up my words now"
I asked Shao Fang who was looking at me like he had made a decision. His face was calm but there was small smile on his face.
"Although I still have some concerns, I will choose to believe you for now...president Ren"
I inexplicable cheered in my heart and my inner self was jumping with joy at those words.
"Well, I would like to continue this meeting but the next parts would be slightly confidential. So, I would like to tell those people who wanted to resign, to hand their resignation letters and exit the company"
With my words, silent again descended on the room. Several people were looking at each other thinking what to do.
They had decided to give their resignation letters from the start but after listening the song, they were hesitant.
What if the company went into profits after I left?
That was the thought that was probably in this minds right now.
Finally, after some time a person gave me his resignation letter. Seeing him, two more people gave me their resignation letters.
It was three people in total that left. I knew that some people will leave.
Although there was a high chance that the songs were going to be a hit but it was only chance.
No one can say for sure that the company will truly make profits, not even I can.
But Uncle Zhang, Shao Fang, Bai Shu and Zhao Tan had decided to stay which was a great plus for me.
Finally after all these things were done, I said to everyone.
"First of all, thank you for staying with the company when it is dire straits. For your loyalty and dedication to the company, I would surely repay you after the company is in profits"
I continued after a while.
"Second, we are a team now. We have to make sure that our next project would be a hit not for the company but also for our families"
Hearing that everyone had a smile on their faces. The president of the company had promised to repay them if the next project is a hit.
They can already see there bright futures.
Their confidence not only came from my words but also the song they had heard before.
The song gave them confidence that they will surely succeed.
"Now, let's start the true meeting"
Everyone smiles faded away and they put on their serious expressions.
"As you may already know but our next project would be a mini album that will be sung by a female singer"
Everyone nodded at my words and I continued.
"First of all, we already have the songs, now we need two things, a female singer and the background music for those songs"
"Zhao Tan, I will leave the background music to you"
"You can be assured, I will surely do it well"
"Next, the female singer, do you have any ideas about it"
"Well, if we had some trainees left, we could have chosen from them but..." Uncle Zhang said.
"Uncle Zhang, from your connections, do you know any female singer that can make a contract with our company"
"All of the singers I know have already contracted with a company"
"Good singers will instantly be contracted by a entertainment company and there are tons of entertainment company. We don't even have a scouting department now, it will really be hard to find a singer"
It was Shao Fang who said that and his words were true.
There are tons of people who aspires to become a singer or a actor and good ones are always scouted by those huge entertainment companies.
Although I have my cheat but I can't just stand in the streets and stare at the people to find a good female singer.
"Even if we find a singer, it will hard to make a contract. Our Global entertainment don't have much credibility"
It was a female voice this time. She was probably one of the people from the legal team.
As we were confused at finding a singer, Bai Shu sudden words surprised everyone.
"I think I may know someone who can sign a contract with our company"
