Chapter 45 - We Can't Afford To Offend A Man Like That
Liang Zixuan had an indifferent attitude during the interview. She didn't even give Zhu Sheng a face, so how could Xiang Zedong expect her to give him a face?
It was not because she was arrogant, or she didn't put people in her eyes, it's just that these people didn't have a good impression of her from the beginning.
If Xie Yin had agreed to Zhu Sheng's proposal from the beginning, Liang Zixuan would not have rejected her like this.
Since she had already refused, she would never agree again.
Even if they asked Han Yuanjun to persuade her, she still wouldn't agree.
Liang Zixuan scoffed. "You earned your own face. This is not something that anyone will give you."
Xiang Zedong's breath caught in his throat as he felt as if he had been slapped in the face by her.
He really didn't think Liang Zixuan would look down on him on her first day at work.
"Liang Zixuan." Xiang Zedong sneered. "I advise you to be tactful and bow your head when the time comes. If I don't give you a way out, then you won't be able to get out of here unscathed. Don't blame me for being heartless."
Oh, threats.
Liang Zixuan was not afraid. "Thank you, Supervisor Xiang. The step is too high for me to go down."
She didn't bother to stand here and talk nonsense with Xiang Zedong. She immediately said, "Supervisor Xiang, if nothing else, I'll go out first. Qin Yu's album needs to be completed within a time, so I don't have much time to waste."
What else can Xiang Zedong say?
He could only reply with a dark face, "En."
After Liang Zixuan left, Xie Yin was so angry that she shouted, "Cousin, isn't she too much? She didn't even listen to your words. Does she really think she's that superior?!"
When Xiang Zedong heard Xie Yin's words, he immediately became angry. "You really dare to say that! You're the one who rejected her and now you are asking to be her assistant. You are so shameless, yet you still want to pull me down with you."
Xie Yin pouted as she walked closer and knelt beside him. She held his hand in a fawning manner, "Aiya, wasn't I thinking for you? Think about it. You are now a pop music director. If Zhu Sheng leaves, wouldn't you have to waste time competing with other heads for his position? With my help, you will be able to climb that position easily."
Seeing Xiang Zedong's face moved a little, she kept talking, "Think about it, if I were Liang Zixuan's assistant, I could approach Qin Yu and have a good relationship with her, that's the same as having a good relationship with the President. When Zhu Sheng leaves, I'll go to the President and say a few words about you."
What she said makes sense.
Xiang Zedong was overwhelmed, but he still frowned in displeasure. "I've stepped forward, but Liang Zixuan was still unwilling. What can we do?"
Xie Yin gritted her teeth in hatred. "Liang Zixuan is such a bitch. Do you really think she has any face? If it wasn't for Qin Yu, did she really think I would be her assistant? She really looked down on me, that's how low she is!"
After thinking, Xie Yin said, "Cousin, let me tell you, that Zeng Zhelan is also incompetent. She can't handle many things at the same time, so how about this. You have to give Liang Zixuan 15 days to complete all ten songs and if she can't do it, then you have a reason to ask me to help her. When the time comes, I may not only be her assistant, I will also prepare 3 songs for Qin Yu to sing live!"
When Xiang Zedong heard this, he beamed with joy and poked Xie Yin's forehead with his finger, "You evil woman, you have so many smart ideas. In order to make Liang Zixuan fail, I will definitely make her job difficult!"
Xie Yin raised her eyebrow proudly as she finally succeeded in persuading him.
What she thought in her mind was not exactly like what she said to Xiang Zedong. She still wanted to use this opportunity to get her own studio. Once she got close to Qin Yu and talked to Han Yuanjun, she would be the Music Director.

After leaving Xiang Zedong's office, Liang Zixuan knocked on Zeng Zhelan's desk. "Zhelan, follow me."
Zeng Zhelan immediately put down her work and followed Liang Zixuan from behind. After entering the studio, Liang Zixuan closed the door and turned to her. "Zhelan, listen carefully, you're the only assistant I have right now. In Qin Yu's album, there are ten songs. If you can help me write two songs, then do it."
Zeng Zhelan was flattered and opened her eyes wide. "Can I write the songs as well?"
"Of course." Liang Zixuan laughed at her. "You're my assistant, why can't you write it? If you can write five songs, then write five."
Zeng Zhelan was so happy that she almost flew away. She grabbed Liang Zixuan's hand excitedly, "I can! I wrote a lot before, but at that time, I followed He Zimu, but he didn't like me and wouldn't allow me to participate. Wait, let me grab my music book."
Zeng Zhelan rushed out of the studio and ran back to her desk. She took the music book from her drawer and ran into the studio like the wind.
She didn't even catch a breath as she handed the music book to Liang Zixuan. "Here, why don't you take a look."
Liang Zixuan couldn't help but laugh. "Let's talk after you take a deep breath. Don't rush."
"Haha ..." Zeng Zhelan laughed and took a deep breath before she said excitedly, "The songs I wrote before, everything is here. Look at them. If there's a need to be fixed, tell me. I will fix it as soon as I can."
Liang Zixuan picked up her guitar and found a chair to sit on, then opened Zeng Zhelan's music book and placed it on her lap.
Zeng Zhelan saw her struggle so much, so she took the music book and held it in front of her. "I'll hold it for you. It's easier for you to see it like this."
"Alright." Liang Zixuan didn't refuse. She looked at the notes and started playing them with her guitar.
After the song ended, she laughed in surprise, "Not bad!"
"Really?" Zeng Zhelan's heart leaped into her throat. "Are you telling the truth?"
Liang Zixuan nodded. "Of course. While there are still some small flaws, it's not a big problem. Let's go to the next one."
After five songs were played, Liang Zixuan decided to use three of Zeng Zhelan's songs for Qin Yu's album.
Zeng Zhelan was so happy that she would go crazy. She shook her head vigorously as if she had just eaten ecstasy.
Liang Zixuan's mouth twitched. She was really afraid that Zeng Zhelan would overexert herself and shake her head off. Although Zeng Zhelan was older than her, she was a simple woman, and Liang Zixuan liked people like that.
Xiang Zedong had completely lost his face in front of Liang Zixuan, so he didn't dare to ask her to come to his office again. Instead, he called her.
On the phone, he told Liang Zixuan about the foul idea Xie Yin gave him. He told her to complete ten songs in fifteen days.
Liang Zixuan scoffed.
Looking at the enthusiastic Zeng Zhelan next to her, she happily agreed.
Fifteen days was more than enough time for her.
When the time came, they just had to wait to see the jaws of a group of people drop.
