"This damn hype!" Kalman stayed in his office, put down his work, looked at the long list of sales figures followed by "lovetobelovedbyyou" on the website, covered his head with his hands, cursing without any grace. Of course, he had heard this song, more than once. Of course, his preconceived thought made him think that this song was not very good, and the results it has achieved now are just damn hype.

But whether it is hype or not, it is unquestionable that "lovetobelovedbyyou" was successful. In just half a day, the sales of this song have approached 2 million from 1.8 million times, which made Kalman feel tremendous pressure. Of course, all this is because of the hateful name of the person following the song.

Chen Chufan and Kalman silently chanted this name that made him deeply resentful. Although the company's senior management did not explicitly say why the "Future Idol" activities were suspended, he knew very well in his heart what was going on.

The company made great efforts to follow the events held by the Burke Conservatory of Music, selected 10 singles and then released records. If the final result is far from comparing the sales volume of the single "Lovetobelovedbyyou", it would be a huge blow to the company's reputation. You should know that this song "Lovetobelovedbyyou" was also written and sung by students of the Burke Conservatory of Music.

At that time, the more popular the promotion I made, the more laughable it would be. People would say that the event held by Universal Records was abandoned, but the ones selected were singles that were not popular. Universal Records could not afford that person.

He had heard that the subordinates who went to the Burke Conservatory with him last time to judge this event were already called by the company's senior management to talk, but he, the head of the company, had not been found yet, which made him feel bad and under tremendous pressure, so of course he would not be in a good mood.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Chen Chufan said to him before leaving: "I will use music to make you regret it!" Even the cold face of Chen Chufan when he said this sentence appeared in his mind, which made him furious for no reason. He punched his desk and shouted at the air viciously: "I will never regret it! A bad guy who is lucky!"

"Click!" At this moment, the office door was pushed open directly. A secretary beat the woman and stood at the door with half of her body on her face, looking at Kalman who was venting hysterically in panic.

"Didn't I tell you that you should knock on the door before entering the office? Damn it! What about your politeness!" Kalman roared at the female secretary who suddenly opened the office door in anger. Her white face looked red from anger and looked a little hideous and terrifying.

Especially Kalman's image at this time was also a bit unbearable. Her meticulous hair was rubbed in a mess, her tie was pulled apart, and her shirt buttons were unbuttoned, revealing a few black chest hairs on her chest. Combined with her blushing look at her face, she was like a drunken drunk. If it weren't for the lack of alcohol in the office, the female secretary would have thought that her boss was drunk in the office.

"I knocked on the door, Mr. Kalman. But you haven't responded. Just now, Mr. Fis called you to go to his office. I'm afraid that if the delay is too long, it will make Mr. Fis unhappy!" The female secretary was frightened by Kalman's appearance at this time and said quietly.

"Mr. Fiss is looking for me? You go out, I'll go back to see him right away!" Hearing Fiss' name, Kalman's anger immediately disappeared.

Merka Fiss, who has been the vice president of media in Europe and America for Universal Records since 1998, is a real-time figure in Universal Records. However, Merka talked to him, which made Kalman relax a lot, because few people in the company knew that he had a good personal relationship with Merka Fiss. The two used to be neighbors, and Merka Fiss often asked him for two drinks.

So when the secretary left, Kalman quickly began to clean up himself. No matter how good the relationship was, his image in the company must be paid attention to. Kalman was unwilling to show himself to others in his current appearance.

After tidying up his hair, tying up his shirt, tightening his tie, and taking three deep breaths, Kalman returned to a handsome gentleman look. After squeezing a smile at the mirror, feeling almost satisfied, Kalman stood up and walked out of his office.

Merka Fies' office is on the eleventh floor of the company building. This floor is a gathering place for the entire European and American Universal Records Company's senior management, and it is also a place that Kalman yearns for infinitely. He once hoped to prove himself with the "Future Idol" event at the Burke Conservatory and let himself step on this floor smoothly, but now it seems that hope is slim, which makes him feel a little dazed when standing in front of Merka Fies' office.

But after a moment, Kalman came back to his senses and knocked on the office door.

"Please come in!" Merka Fiss's voice came into Kalman's ears from the office, and he could not hear the joy and anger. This made Kalman feel nervous again. He believed that Merka Fiss knew that he was outside the door. When he asked the secretary at the door, the cute beauty who let him in without being informed could prove this.

You should know that when you know that Kalman is coming to find him, Merka's voice always has some enthusiasm.

"Good afternoon, Merka, how are you doing recently?" Kalman tried to make his voice calm and enthusiastic. He did not even call Mr. Fis in the company as usual, but called him by his name. He wanted to arouse the friendship between the two in this way.

"I haven't had a good life recently. Kalman, you should know the pressure facing the company now. I just talked to Kathell of the marketing department before you came. The company's record sales last week were even 9 percentage points lower than EDA Records and 13 percentage points lower than Warner, which is unimaginable!" Merka Fies said with a sigh.

Kalman didn't speak. He knew the man in front of him. He never said meaningless words at work. The next sentence he would go to the point. This is the case.

"Kalman, you missed an opportunity, an opportunity that can help you go further and also help the company get out of the current predicament. How do you ask me to say hello?" Merka Fiss's expression became serious.

"Merka, I believe you have also studied this song. Well, I admit that this is a good single, but he is not necessarily excellent to match the results he has achieved now. I have to say that Z kid is very lucky, but the success of this song is based on a movie, which makes its success accidental and difficult to replicate." Kalman began to defend himself with the conclusion he had recently thought out with prejudice.

Merka's eyes showed a look of disappointment, and he directly interrupted Kalman's speech: "Okay, Kalman. Is it useful to say these now? We are not a comment agency, but a company that aims to make a profit. It's useless to say whether a single is excellent or not, but the market has the final say. You need to admit your mistakes. Because of your arrogance and prejudice, an excellent work will pass by us! Originally, the "Future Idol" activity was probably kicked off with this single, but now it has become a joke! Someone must be responsible for it!"

"What do you mean?" Kalman became nervous when he heard the words of Merka Fies. He had worked at Universal Records for decades and had become accustomed to his current life. It would be great if he could go further, but he would never accept losing everything he is now.

"Do you know? Given your simple performance this time, many people on the board of directors think that you are no longer suitable to stay in your current position. I know you, Kalman. But you shouldn't bring your prejudice to your work. This child once signed up for the event selection with this song, but he was disqualified from the competition without coming. You even said some very unfriendly words. Your stubbornness and prejudice hurt you! Kalman." Merka Fis spread his hands and made a very regrettable move.

"So what does the company mean? Do you want to fire me?" Kalman's tone became a little louder.

"Yes, most directors mean this, your actions annoyed them!" Murka Fis nodded.

"This is unfair! I have been serving the company for more than 20 years, and now I am going to drive me out just for such a small mistake. This is unfair! Merka!" Hearing the bad news from Merka Fais, Kalman finally couldn't keep his peace and said excitedly.

"Okay, Kalman. Listen to me and finish it!" Merka Fis frowned. Although he could understand Kalman's mood at this time, he was still a little dissatisfied with Kalman's attitude. "You are my old friend, so of course I hope to give you a chance. But this opportunity depends on whether you can seize it!"

"What opportunity!" Kalman seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and looked gratefully at Merka Fis sitting at the desk pondering.
