Chapter 132 Solution
Yan Nian knocked on the office door several times before Gu Pingping opened it from the inside.
Gu Pingping looked embarrassed, glanced inside, placed his hope on Yan Nian, and whispered, "We are trying our best to save her, come in quickly."
Judging from Gu Pingping's expression, Yan Nian felt that the situation was much worse than she had imagined. If it was an actor's problem, she wanted to ask Xu Ke for help.
Yan Nian had only seen such temporary rescues on TV, and he had never imagined that it would happen at Boya's anniversary celebration.
Yan Nian went in and saw that all the people who participated in the planning were there. There were five of them, three women and two men, gathered in front of Zhou Ran's desk. Through the gaps, Yan Nian saw that the plans were piled messily on Zhou Ran's desk, and the others were nervously discussing the next countermeasures with Zhou Ran.
Gu Pingping followed behind Yan Nian: "Boss Zhou, is Yan Nian here?"
Everyone present stopped talking and turned to look at her.
Zhou Ran leaned back in his office chair with a frown on his face, but the moment he looked up and saw her, his brows relaxed a little.
Yan Nian didn't care about other people's eyes and expressed his own thoughts.
"Mr. Zhou, I can coordinate the matters concerning the singers and actors."
One of the male employees looked at Zhou Ran with disdain in his eyes. He said, "Boss Zhou, all the famous singers are out of schedule right now, and it's too late. The third option is acceptable. We can get everyone in place by two o'clock at the earliest."
It was indeed too late. The dinner started at 17:30 and ended at 18:30, and officially started at 19:00. The first project planned for this event was that the singer would warm up Boya with a performance before the chairman’s speech.
The actors and singers had to arrive before 3 p.m., so it was not practical to find someone to help out at the last minute.
Although it will not disrupt the subsequent process, the overall effect will be very poor, which is what Zhou Ran least wants to see.
Zhou Ran waved to her: "Come over and listen together."
The five people looked at each other. Mr. Zhou was furious just now, but now he is extremely gentle. He is completely two different people!
These people had heard gossip about their affairs in the midst of their busy schedule, but now was the time to save their heads, and no one wanted to run into Zhou Ran's gun, so they took the initiative to give the middle position to Yan Nian with a friendly face.
The 20th anniversary is such an important day for Boya, but the situation is much worse than Yan Nian had expected. Not only did the actors and singers break their contracts, but even the invited photographer did not come.
Zhou Ran had put a lot of effort into Boya's anniversary banquet being held at the International Center, having been preparing for it for half a year, with both human and financial resources fully utilized. He even donated a large amount of supplies to children in mountainous areas. Zhou Ji and Zhao Ning were both well-known local charity ambassadors, and they had also invited the media.
This time, Zhou Ran also wanted to use the anniversary dinner to build solid personal connections for coastal business and invited foreign agents.
But something went wrong at the critical moment.
Everyone is racing against time to make suggestions.
Yan Nian listened carefully to the next plan. The midfield dancers and photographers had already been confirmed, and there would be a second rehearsal and lighting adjustments.
So, the most important thing is the opening. The original opening plan has been abolished. Time is tight, and the second plan is to directly remove the singer part.
The third option is to replace it with a piano performance or a band, which is much easier than inviting a well-known singer, but considering that today is a special occasion, we can't just invite anyone to do it perfunctorily.
Zhou Ran was not optimistic about the band, but he was considering the piano performance, which was relatively closer to the style of the dinner.
Zhou Ran wanted to achieve perfection, and the effect of this plan was quite different from the original plan.
They were once again caught in a dispute. Some suggested contacting a well-known piano teacher in the city, while others felt that was inappropriate.
Zhou Ran tapped the tabletop lightly with his index finger in annoyance, and everyone quieted down when they noticed his movements.
Yan Nian couldn't think of a better solution, so he had to remain silent. Because the dancers and singers broke their contracts, everyone ignored today's live performance.
The rehearsal had been completed a week before, but they suddenly broke the contract at this point. Someone did it on purpose and didn't want the dinner to go smoothly.
Seeing her silence, Zhou Ran asked, "Translator Yan? What do you think?"
When Zhou Ran asked questions, they fell silent and started arguing with her through their eyes.
Yan Nian was suddenly called upon and calmly expressed his thoughts and concerns: "The opening part is very important. I personally think that the piano performance is not a second choice. There are also issues with the on-site layout and lighting. We must be careful. Mr. Zhou, I want to go to the scene to take a look."
Those who had just looked down on her nodded thoughtfully.
Better safe than sorry.
Zhou Ran: "Well, then let's do as you say."
Everyone present exchanged glances. This person next to me is really different. It can be decided with just one sentence.
So, continuing with the previous topic, who will play the piano? This has been a question that has never been fully discussed. Someone asked, "Mr. Zhou, I'll contact someone now..."
Yan Nian's palms were sweating. When they were discussing the third plan, she actually wanted to give it a try.
There are no levels in the field of piano playing. If judged by amateur standards, she should be able to reach the tenth level.
Since she was four years old, Xu Yiqing has been supervising her to develop various interests and hobbies.
But she hasn't played it for a long time.
It would be a waste of time to continue discussing this. She wanted to do something for Zhou Ran and Boya.
Yan Nian took a deep breath and said in a resounding voice, "Boss Zhou, I'd like to introduce myself for the opening part."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped talking.
Even Zhou Ran was a little surprised: What else could this girl know that he didn't know?
Yan Nian took a breath and said, "Looking for someone now would be a waste of time and money. Let me try!"
Zhou Ran stood up from his chair, looking relieved, and made the final decision: "Okay, it's settled then."
He then asked, "Who is the photographer contacting?"
Yan Nian, the administrative manager, came out of his trance and replied, "It's me, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Ran said, "Well, get in touch as soon as possible. Can it be done before twelve o'clock?"
Yan Nian: "Yes."
Zhou Ran gave a few instructions. Time was running out, so everyone had to act separately based on the results of the discussion.
Meet at the center at 12:30.
Zhou Ran personally brought Yan Nian to the venue of the International Center. After communicating with the person in charge of the center, he soon arranged for staff to move the piano to the concert hall.
Zhou Ran and Yan Nian stood in the lifting area of the stage and saw with their own eyes the staff below pushing the piano onto the lifting platform.
As the piano rose up little by little, Yan Nian suddenly recovered, still a little nervous. She hadn't played the piano in public for a long time.
Zhou Ran held her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yan Nian looked at the man next to her, the nervousness in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she held his hand instead: "Don't worry."
Zhou Ran raised his hand tiredly and rubbed her head: "Yeah."
The piano is in place, and the next issue is song selection.
At the suggestion of all the staff on site, Yan Nian chose the more classic "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Moonlight Sonata, Third Movement".
These are two of the most exciting pieces she has played so far. She has seen the rehearsal video and these two pieces are suitable for the opening of the dinner.
She had no preference for any particular song, she just wanted Zhou Ran to listen to it before making a decision, so that she could practice a few more times before rehearsing with the others.
Yan Nian didn't want to waste everyone's time for a moment, so he took off his coat that was in the way and handed it to Zhou Ran, then sat down next to the piano.
She had learned dance for a period of time when she was a child. When she held her head high and chest out and placed her slender fingers on the piano keys, her standard posture was already 360 degrees without any blind spots.
Excessive beauty.
Everyone dispersed, and only Zhou Ran stood beside her.
The staff present all looked at her intently and expectantly.
Someone whispered: "It's true that within one meter you can judge her face, and from one meter away you can judge her temperament. She is so beautiful."
Hearing the praise, Zhou Ran couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
