Lu Chen was awakened by Zhao Ling's phone call.

"Brother! Don't forget what you did this morning!"

"Aren't you supposed to be at the company at ten o'clock? What the hell are you calling me so early?!"

"I know your temper, hurry up and get up. It's better to be early than to be late!"

Under the urging of Zhao Ling's series of phone calls.

Lu Chen could only hold his anger in his arms, get up, wash up, and arrive at the company early at 9:30.

Then I put on some simple makeup to facilitate the interview later.

It’s less than ten o’clock.

The CCTV interview team has already arrived at Tiancheng Entertainment Company.

Zhao Ling and Lu Chen led a team to welcome them.

Originally, there was no need for such a grand ceremony.

But in order to leave a good impression on the other party, Zhao Ling arranged this scene.

The host is CCTV’s famous host Xiao Sa.

After seeing Lu Chen, Xiao Sa refused to let go of the hand that he was holding.

"Teacher Lu Chen, I am your fan! A real fan!"

"Thank you, Mr. Sa."

I finally let go of my hand and looked down. My hand was red...

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Lu Chen noticed an old man in the crowd, who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, and was looking at him with a smile the whole time.

It almost gave him goosebumps.

I always feel that the other party has "bad intentions".

It was not until Lu Chen shook hands with him that the other party revealed his identity: "Hello, Mr. Lu Chen, I am Qian Keli from the Dragon National Song Association."

Hear this name.

In an instant, almost everyone in Tiancheng Entertainment had a look of horror on their faces.

Especially Zhao Ling and Feng Nan.

My pupils were shaking like an 18-magnitude earthquake! Qian Keli!?

The president of the Dragon National Anthem Association?!

Why is he here too?!

He hurriedly invited Qian Keli and his group into the building and to the conference room.

Zhao Ling immediately arranged a reception of the highest standards.

Due to this interview, it was temporarily arranged to be broadcast live.

The content is interspersed with the midday news at noon.

There is still one hour to prepare.

I saw that the other party had no intention of reviewing the manuscript.

Zhao Ling couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Sa, isn't the manuscript correct?"

Xiao Sa smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, this time we will not go against the script. Our interview will only take three to four minutes. We will not ask too many questions, and we will not ask any out-of-line questions. Please rest assured about this."

Having said that.

But Zhao Ling was still a little uneasy, but she didn't say much.

"Since there's an hour in between, let me do my thing first."

Qian Keli spoke suddenly.

"Okay, Mr. Qian, let's go out first."

Although Xiao Sa didn't know the specific purpose of Qian Keli's visit, he was not a fool. The fact that he was asked to come in person showed that his business must be no simple matter.

At Qian Keli's request.

Soon, in the huge conference room, only Lu Chen, Qian Keli, and Qian's secretary, Xiao Song, were left.

"President Qian, are you looking for me?"

"Don't be nervous, young man. I came here to have a good talk with you."

Qian Keli adjusted his breathing, paused, and said straight to the point: "I am not a person who likes to talk nonsense. Time is limited, so I will get straight to the point.

I have actually been following your music for a long time. If you still remember, our Song Association and Performance Association both sent congratulatory Weibo messages after your first concert.

That's when I started to notice you.

Of course, I also watched your second concert in its entirety.

Big surprise!

Very exciting!

It can be said to be the best concert I have ever seen.

Especially your last song "Dong Feng Po", which left a very deep impression on me!

Then two days ago, you released three consecutive works in almost the same style.

That night, I listened to it over and over again for a long time.

I particularly like the song "Lanting Preface".

And now our music association plays your songs on loop every day, and everyone, young or old, male or female, thinks they are great.

You are amazing to be able to sing Chinese style music to this level and with such uniqueness!"

I was surprised to learn that I had been the focus of attention of this giant Buddha for so long.

Lu Chen was quite surprised and quickly waved his hands to indicate that he dared not.

Qian Keli smiled and continued, "So the reason why I came here today is only one. I would like to sincerely invite you to join our singing association."

When Qian Keli explained the whole story, Lu Chen immediately searched his mind for relevant memories and information.

I learned that many outstanding singers in the circle would be invited to register as members of the Song Association.

But it is not easy to join the Song Association.

At least you have to start from the second line.

And most of them are veteran singers.

It is not easy for a young idol singer to join the Chinese Music Association.

"Joining the Song Association is worth your personal trip."

Lu Chen was puzzled. For something like this, wouldn't it be done by just making a phone call and sending an invitation? Most celebrities would join, it was just a name on the list.

Until this time, Xiao Song at the side said with a smile: "Teacher Lu Chen, don't get me wrong, you are not just a figurehead this time. If it was just a figurehead, there would be no need to trouble President Qian to come here in person."

Qian Keli nodded, without beating around the bush, and put his hands on the desk. His whole aura suddenly became very oppressive!

It makes people feel a chill in their hearts.

"Lu Chen, actually I want to invite you to join the Song Association and serve as one of the twelve permanent directors of our association."

As soon as these words came out.

Like a thunderbolt in the dark night.

Lu Chen was almost stunned on the spot.

He pointed at himself and said in astonishment: "Me, the director?!"

Secretary Xiao Song at the side interrupted at the right time: "Teacher Lu Chen is not just a simple director, but a permanent director!

So we are not civil servants.

But we are using the civilian type of establishment, which I believe you should be familiar with. The military has civilian establishments, and there are also some civilian establishments in local areas. But relatively speaking, the value of our Song Association's civilian establishment is significantly higher than the former two.

Because our singing association is specifically involved in some related fields in the district.

For example, we will organize various song programs and award ceremonies of all sizes across the country, and promote the development of the domestic music industry.

Therefore, as a permanent director, if calculated according to the civilian staffing system, your position is equivalent to a civil servant director.

They are entitled to the association’s special allowances and related benefits.”

As Secretary Song finished speaking, he noticed that Lu Chen's eyes became even more surprised.

But that's normal.

Who wouldn't be confused? In fact, only he knew.

Qian Keli initially arranged for Lu Chen to be the vice president of the association, which was equivalent to a civilian deputy director.

Don't underestimate the difference of this one word.

It might take someone else five or six years to be promoted from a "deputy" to a "principal".

But it only took Lu Chen one night and three songs to make President Qian Keli change his mind.

This was also the reason why Secretary Song was so shocked that day.

With just one word difference, Lu Chen saved at least five years of "detour" compared to other vice directors.

This "promotion speed" is simply jaw-dropping.

A full minute passed.

Lu Chen finally came back to his senses from this huge shock.

He took a deep breath and asked the most direct and honest question: "President Qian, why?"

Qian Keli smiled, obviously knowing that this question would come up: "If we analyze it from an objective perspective, the things you have done recently have indeed created an unprecedented new atmosphere for the entire domestic entertainment music scene. I believe no one will deny this.

Your musical style is not only distinctive, but also hits a pain point in the current domestic entertainment industry, making me feel that you are a talented person with great potential.

Secondly, from a subjective point of view, I think you are a younger generation worth cultivating, because you are not a singer of a simple era, you are a singer of the era itself.

I don't mean to compliment you on this.

But the facts are here.

Therefore, the above two points prompted me to make such a decision.

Here, I would also like to quote a great man to more appropriately express my thoughts and emotions. ”

Qian Keli paused, brewed his emotions and said: "The world is yours, and it is ours, but in the final analysis, it is yours.

You young people are full of vigor and vitality and are in your prime, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning.

Hope rests on you.”

At this moment, Lu Chen's various emotions were intertwined.

My mind is a little confused.

This news was so sudden and contained too much information.

He said almost subconsciously: "But after the concert, I will retire from the entertainment industry and stop performing!"

Qian Keli smiled again and said, "Don't you think that I would like to see you quit now? Even if you quit, your talent is still here, and your influence will not disappear in a short time. So, this is not a problem. Even if you say you want to take a good rest for a few years, it is not a problem. There is a long way to go, and your life has just begun."

Lu Chen: “…”

I was speechless for a moment.

"But I... am a bit lazy..."

"Lu Chen, life is about moving on to the next stage. Don't worry about what will happen to you now. The purpose of my coming here today is just to invite you to join. As for letting you shine, that's another story. The most important thing for you now is to have a good concert.

After the concert, if you want to shut up and take a break for a few years, that’s fine too.

I can assure you of this in advance! If there is a meeting that requires your participation, I think you will not lack this little time.

In short, at the moment, you should not take this matter too seriously or take it too seriously.

From my point of view, I just want to recruit your talent into our association first.

As for what will happen in the future, we’ll talk about it later.”

Seeing Qian Keli said this.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then carefully read the offer letter handed over by the other party, and slowly made a decision in his heart...

…

Outside the door, twenty minutes had passed quickly.

Zhao Ling was getting impatient, but she had no idea what they were talking about inside.

"Feng Nan, what do you think they are talking about? Why are they talking for so long?"

"I don't know. But I can be sure that this is a big deal. After all, Mr. Qian came here in person."

"Yeah, I was almost shocked. I felt that he looked quite different in person than in the photo. I didn't recognize him at all."

"Don't mention you, I didn't recognize you either."

Just saying.

The door to the conference room was pushed open.

Xiao Song made a gesture of invitation: "You two, please come in."

Zhao Ling and Feng Nan looked at each other and hurried into the room.

"President Qian."

Qian Keli nodded.

At this time, Feng Nan discovered that a red certificate suddenly appeared on the desk in front of Lu Chen.

And a well-made badge.

Zhao Ling also noticed it, and her heart skipped a beat. She asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Qian Keli signaled to his secretary.

Secretary Xiao Song understood and immediately put his five fingers together, pointed at Lu Chen, and said, "Come, let me introduce you two solemnly. From today on, Mr. Lu Chen will officially serve as one of the twelve permanent directors of our association."

After saying that, he was the first to applaud.

Qian Keli also stood up and applauded.

Lu Chen scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Only Zhao Ling and Feng Nan were shocked and stunned at this moment.

My mind went completely blank! Lu Chen?

The twelve permanent directors of the Song Association?! What the hell is this! ! ! ! ! !

I stayed up until 4:30 yesterday.

I'm not in a very good state today, I'm really sorry.

Also, I guess some people might feel that this plot is just...

First of all, this is a prelude

Secondly, I want to say that reality is more magical...
