Chapter 27 - When You First Started Playing Music, Weren’t You The Same As Me
From the bottom of her heart, she knew that she didn't even enter Zhu Sheng's eyes.
With this understanding, Liang Zixuan did not dare to be negligent and look at the time on her phone. It's 12:15 and there are still 45 minutes left.
She and her grandmother had not yet eaten lunch, and Liang Zixuan had only had a few sips of porridge for breakfast. But now, it looked like she didn't have time for lunch.
Liang Zixuan packed her things and brought her guitar. After exchanging words with Luo Yanyun, she rushed out the door.
Han Group Media was not too far from Le Reve and when Liang Zixuan took the subway, it was exactly 12:50 p.m.
She walked into Han Group Media and politely said to the receptionist at the front desk. "Hello, my name is Liang Zixuan. I have an appointment with the Music Director, Zhu Sheng. I'm here for an interview."
The receptionist glanced at her, picked up the internal phone on the table, and dialed. After getting confirmation from the people inside, she said, "Please take the elevator to the 18th floor. Someone will pick you up."
Liang Zixuan thanked her politely and went up to the 18th floor. When the elevator door opened, she saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the elevator door.
The woman was Zhu Sheng's secretary, her name was Shi Tianjian. Zhu Sheng told her to come here to pick up Liang Zixuan.
Now that she saw that Liang Zixuan wasn't even wearing makeup and wearing casual clothes, her expression naturally didn't look good. "Follow me."
Shi Tianjian wouldn't tell Liang Zixuan that Zhu Sheng really appreciated the appearance the most. While most people who make music didn't care about looks, Zhu Sheng was not like that.
The music industry and the fashion industry were intertwined. Zhu Sheng always hated people who looked simple, like a student who never graduated from school.
Moreover, Han Group Media was the largest, most famous entertainment company in the country. They didn't have the time or energy to nurture new people.
Liang Zixuan followed behind Shi Tianjian with a stunned expression while holding the guitar. She didn't understand why the woman in front of her would treat her like that by just looking at her appearance.
Liang Zixuan sat in the conference room and waited for five minutes before Zhu Sheng walked in wearing a well-ironed shirt.
As Shi Tianjian expected, Zhu Sheng immediately frowned when he saw Liang Zixuan. The expression on his face was very ugly.
Liang Zixuan stood up and bowed politely towards him. "Director Zhu."
After sitting down, he said coldly, "I think you've heard of Han Group Media before. You don't need me to spread the glory of our company to you, I believe you've heard my name too. If you haven't, you can stand up and leave now."
Zhu Sheng, a famous musician in China, was the idol of many people who played music.
He was someone with this kind of attitude?
No matter how much hope Liang Zixuan had before this, it all went down with how Zhu Sheng's attitude towards her. She knew he would never accept her.
Liang Zixuan smirked and chuckled. "Of course I've heard Director Zhu's name before. There were times when your name pushed me to keep moving forward in my musical dreams."
"But I didn't think that the idol, the one who I looked up to in my musical path, would be a person with a character like this. I just arrived and I didn't even say a word, yet you looked down on me from the bottom of your heart. So, I want to ask, what is it? Are you looking down on me or my music that you look down on?"
Zhu Sheng's face sank. He would never have thought that people he had never heard of would actually dare to mock him in front of him!
To say that his character was bad?
Zhu Sheng looked at Liang Zixuan's face and laughed mockingly, "Don't tell me you don't know how to put on makeup when you go out? This was the most basic form of courtesy for me! How can someone like you, who doesn't even know how to be polite, make good music?"
So this was it!
Now Liang Zixuan knew why Shi Tianjian looked down on her the moment she walked out of the elevator. This turned out to be because she was not wearing makeup.
However, Liang Zixuan didn't want to explain. After all, no one wants to hear something unimportant. She raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Director Zhu hasn't even heard my music before, how do you know that the music I make is not good? Is it just because I don't wear makeup? Who says that someone who looks like a bump doesn't know how to make music?"
Her eyes became sharper, and the words she said became colder. "I know Director Zhu wasn't born into a musical family and when you first started playing music, weren't you the same as me?"
Zhu Sheng's chest tightened from Liang Zixuan's words. Naturally, he started from scratch and had no prominent background. To be honest, he had faced a lot of difficulties back then and it was not easy for him to get to this point now.
He felt like he'd lost a lot of faces in front of this girl.
Zhu Sheng asked with a frown, "Then what song did you write?"
All the songs that Liang Zixuan wrote before had been snatched by Wei Xiaoqing. If she told him that she wrote the songs, Zhu Sheng would definitely not believe her.
Not only will she not get good results, she will also make Zhu Sheng look down on her.
Liang Zixuan thought about it and said, "The previous achievements do not represent my current level. I'm good at writing love songs. Love songs can also have a depressing style, but if Director Zhu is willing to give me a chance, you can decide on the variety. I will write a new song for you on the spot in half an hour."
It was not because she was arrogant, but because the popularity Wei Xiaoqing had in her previous life was because of the songs she wrote.
There were a lot of songs that went viral. It's no exaggeration to say that the songs she wrote in those ten years attracted at least B-rated singers.
Of course, according to the time taken, these were all problems later on.
For now, none of those songs have come out.
Hearing Liang Zixuan's words, Zhu Sheng scoffed. "What an arrogant girl."
Writing a new song in half an hour. Which musician dared to say that she could write a new song in half an hour? Even he, Zhu Sheng, can't do it!
Zhu Sheng felt that Liang Zixuan was telling a fantasy story to him!
He opened the laptop that Shi Tianjian had previously prepared, clicked the photo, and rotated the screen to face Liang Zixuan. He pointed to a photo on the screen and said, "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. This is a startup the company wants to promote."
The person in the photo was Qin Yu, who was currently in her second year at the Film Academy. She was just twenty years old, Han Yuanjun's niece and her father was also a shareholder in Han Group Media.
Zhu Sheng had just received news this morning that Han Yuanjun meant to let Qin Yu act in Su Zhengxiang's film 'Girl Of The Rose'. He also planned to release her first music album in the same period, which would be a good time to strike while it's still hot
