Chapter 31: Connections? Privileges?

On Monday morning, Xu Nuo ate steamed buns and drank soy milk, and took Xu Ke to the company.

On the first day when he ate breakfast made by his sister, Xu Nuo was so happy that he thought he could have breakfast every day, but it was only that time.

When he walked to the lobby, Liu Shulan said hello and took Xu Ke away directly, which made Xu Nuo's teeth ache and he felt like a bodyguard.

The elevator reached the twelfth floor, and as soon as the door opened, Qin Bangyan pulled him away.

"Boss Qin, what's the matter?" Xu Nuo looked at the half-eaten bun in his hand, feeling a little melancholy. Should he eat this bun or not?

Qin Bangyan said unhappily: "Eat it, eat it, I just asked you to tell me something."

Xu Nuo lowered his head and continued to eat the bun.

"Xiao Xu, your song has passed the preliminary review and has been submitted."

"Yeah, okay." Xu Nuo slurped a mouthful of soy milk.

Qin Bangyan thought he would be very excited, but he was only concerned with breakfast and couldn't help repeating it again.

"Well, I know."

"Aren't you excited at all?"

"What's so exciting about this? It's just the preliminary review." Xu Nuo looked at him calmly.

"Do you know what passing the preliminary review means?"

Xu Nuo pondered for two seconds, "Does it mean passing the preliminary review?"

Qin Bangyan's expression was stiff, the smile on his face disappeared, and he raised his hand and pointed to the door.

"What do you mean?" Xu Nuo was puzzled.

"Go to work."

Xu Nuo pouted, turned around and went out, muttering softly, "Old Qin is good at everything, but he has not seen much of the world."

Qin Bangyan was so angry that he wanted to catch him and beat him up. This guy was so fucking irritating.

In the office, his fingers tapped the table unconsciously. The news from the boss was that other companies had also reported the first batch of songs, a total of hundreds of songs, and they only reported ten songs.

Among the masters, only Shen Jianhua submitted one song, and then Xu Nuo's song was of good quality, and the other eight songs were just to make up the numbers.

It was still not enough, Qin Bangyan thought of this and asked Zhao Yuan to notify everyone to hold a meeting.

In the conference room, Qin Bangyan scanned the room, "Three days have passed, and you, more than a hundred people, have only submitted ten songs in total!"

Everyone bowed their heads.

"The other half are just shoddy."

Everyone lowered their heads even lower, and their bodies became a little shorter.

"Some people don't care at all, thinking it has nothing to do with them. As long as someone writes, it's fine, and they just sit back and enjoy the results. Others are working overtime to write songs, but you can't write songs and leave work quickly." Qin Bangyan's face was cold.

"I tell you, the composition department doesn't support idle people!"

"People who don't have a sense of collective honor, how can they enjoy the collective achievements!"

Old Qin has a high prestige. After a scolding, the lazy people quietly sat up straight, and I don't know when they put down their crossed legs.

"If there is a similar situation again, whether our songs are accepted or not, these people's year-end bonuses will be halved!"

Qin Bangyan became more and more angry as he thought about it, "Those who didn't work overtime on the weekend stay, and the others can go back."

Half of the people stood up and walked out of the conference room.

Xu Nuo followed behind and prepared to go out.

Chen Fang grabbed him and whispered, "Xu Nuo, President Qin is angry, don't go against him."

"Ah?" Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment, "I didn't."

Chen Fang pressed him to his seat, "You didn't come on the weekend, President Qin came several times at that time and found out a long time ago."

Xu Nuo had no choice but to sit there and wait.

When almost everyone left, Qin Bangyan glanced at the conference room, and those who didn't work overtime stayed.

There can be lazy people, but he can't tolerate those who are sneaky.

"Everyone, I know that writing songs is not an easy thing. People who don't have inspiration can help others, and maybe inspiration will come."

Qin Bangyan's tone softened at this time. He glanced and paused slightly, "Xu Nuo, why are you sitting here?"

"Oh, I'm sitting with Brother Chen."

"Go away, why are you joining in the fun." Qin Bangyan waved his hand to drive him away.

Chen Fang was confused. Is this guy the leader's illegitimate child?

Others have to be scolded, but he has nothing to do?

He was not the only one who had this idea. Others also started to whisper, and looked at Qin Bangyan with more or less dissatisfaction.

They had known for a long time that Xu Nuo was a relative, first Qin Bangyan, then Lin Wanqing, and they didn't bother to care before, but this time someone finally couldn't help it and burst out with dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"Why!"

"The difference is too big, can people with connections have privileges?"

"Xu Nuo didn't work overtime, why can he leave?"

"Just because he is handsome and has connections, can he do whatever he wants?"

The more they talked, the angrier they got. "Boss Qin, you said at the beginning that our department only looks at strength, not connections!"

Qin Bangyan suddenly smiled, picked up the cup and drank slowly, "Do you think I'm asking for privileges by letting him go?"

"Isn't it?"

"After starting this, the atmosphere of the composition department will be distorted in the future. Can everyone still write good songs?"

"That's right! That's right!"

Qin Bangyan put down the cup, "Does anyone remember the sentence I told you to stay and say before?"

Everyone looked at each other, "Those who didn't work overtime should stay."

Qin Bangyan shook his head, "There's another sentence before."

Suddenly someone whispered, "Does writing a song mean you don't have to work overtime?"

Qin Bangyan smiled slightly, "That's right, you don't have to work overtime if you write a song. What I want is the result, not the process."

"Hiss! Did Xu Nuo write a song?" Chen Fang scratched his head.

"Well, he submitted a song that day."

The discussion on the scene became louder, "Can you write a song in one day? Do you think you are a master?"

"I'm afraid he just wrote it randomly!"

"That's right, he disappeared after the meeting that day, and he was only seen after get off work. Who is he fooling?"

"Shut up!" Qin Bangyan scolded, "If you can't do it yourself, you belittle others to make yourself feel better. Don't you feel ashamed?!"

"I don't believe he has the ability."

"Is the song he wrote up to that level?"

"It passed the preliminary review and has been submitted to the jury." Qin Bangyan looked very unhappy.

"So what? Does it mean a song is good if it passes the preliminary review?"

At this time, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. Qin Bangyan didn't even look at it and scolded: "Who is it? Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

It was the chairman Li Dongchao who walked in, "Haha, Lao Qin, you are very angry."

Qin Bangyan felt like he was hit by a train. He quickly calmed down, "Mr. Li, why are you here?"

"Who is Nuoyan in your composition department?" Li Dongchao asked.

"Mr. Li, that's my stage name." Xu Nuo stood up.

"Hahaha, it's true that young people are promising." Li Dongchao laughed happily.

Xu Nuo and Qin Bangyan looked puzzled. They looked at each other and Qin Bangyan said: "Mr. Li, what are you doing?"

"Hahaha, I just received a notice that Nuoyan's "Misplaced Time and Space" has been accepted by the Youth Society!"

The conference room was dead silent, and the person who had just raised the most doubts was silent.

After Li Dongchao left, Qin Bangyan glanced at the whole audience, "Keep going, weren't you shouting loudly just now? Huh? Why are you silent?"

"Relationship? Privileges? Just write casually?"

No one dared to say anything, and they all lowered their heads and pretended to be ostriches.

Qin Bangyan was furious, and then his tone softened, "You all have to thank Xiao Xu. The competition was very fierce this time. We didn't have much chance. If it weren't for Xiao Xu's help, none of you would have been able to keep your year-end bonus."

"Let's adjourn the meeting. Work hard next time. I will ask the boss for more bonuses."
