The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

It was the first time for the pianists to hear the president, who is always elegant and wise, swear, but they felt that what he said was not wrong. In this kind of communication, the goal is to win, and the Chinese people cannot lose face.

Cai Zekai raised a question: "Didn't we discuss countermeasures when Director Nie comes tomorrow? Why do we have to discuss it now?"

"Vice President Cai, if Director Nie doesn't know how to play the piano, then he will be at a loss tomorrow. Why don't we prepare a plan in advance? When he comes, we can just give him the plan. This way, it will be good for you, for us, and for everyone."

After hearing what the pianist said, Cai Zekai laughed. It turned out that these people didn’t know who Director Nie was, right?

The pianist saw Cai Zekai laughing and thought he was mocking him. He asked unhappily, "Vice President Cai, are you dissatisfied with our approach?"

Cai Zekai quickly shook his head to deny it, saying, "It's really not true, please don't misunderstand me. I'm laughing because do you know who Director Nie is?"

When the pianists present heard his words, they immediately understood that there was something else behind his words. Could it be that he knew who Director Nie was?

Lin Feng was also very curious and asked, "Zekai, don't keep us in suspense. Tell me, who is Director Nie? Does he also know piano?"

Cai Zekai laughed so hard that tears came out. After a long while, he stopped laughing and said, "She also knows piano? If she doesn't know piano, we are nothing."

After hearing these words, everyone present looked unhappy. After all, they were also famous pianists in the society. How could they be belittled and treated as nothing? Wasn't it too much?

Cai Zekai didn't care about their unhappy expressions and continued, "Everyone knows her, Cheng Xingyue."

"What? How could Cheng Xingyue be Director Nie? Are you crazy?"

"Yes, one is surnamed Cheng, the other is surnamed Nie. Neither surname is correct. Stop joking."

"This is outrageous. Isn't Cheng Xingyue an arranger? When did she join the Ministry of Culture? We didn't even hear any news."

Everyone was talking, only Lin Feng remained silent.

He knows Cai Zekai, he would not make a rash move, and Cai Zekai seems to be quite familiar with Cheng Xingyue in private, so who knows what hidden secrets there might be?

"Be quiet and listen to Vice President Cai continue."

The president Lin Feng has great authority. Everyone quieted down and waited to hear Cai Zekai's explanation.

Cai Zekai felt that the time was right and he could say it, so he cleared his throat and found it a little dry.

At this time, someone considerately handed him a cup of warm water. He took it and drank it all. Then he put down the cup and said, "Cheng Xingyue was her previous name. Because she found out in the first few months that she was taken away by mistake at birth, she changed her name back to her original surname, Nie. People with some status in Beijing should know the surname Nie, right? The current Minister Nie has the surname Nie, and the Nie family is a century-old family with a deep foundation. The military is in their hands. So, do you understand?"

Cai Zekai dared not say any more, as what he said was basically known to everyone. But once it was brought up, any smart person should be able to guess what it meant, it goes without saying.

There was a sound of people gasping in the conference room.

Who can't imagine that this Cheng Xingyue, now Nie Xingyue, is a member of the Nie family. Not only is she good at playing the piano and gifted in music, she also has a profound background, so profound that it is unfathomable.

The official sent her this time to negotiate countermeasures with the Piano Association. She is so suitable. She has the ability and the background. She is amazing.

"This, haha, we really did something unnecessary..."

A pianist was the first to say this, breaking the silence of the meeting room.

"That's right. With Director Nie here, we have nothing to worry about."

"I am ready to accept Director Nie's orders and arrangements at any time."

Wow, they all changed sides so quickly. Cai Zekai was stunned. Who said that artists have to save face? When they lose their shame, they are not human beings anymore.

President Lin Feng couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He coughed a few times and the meeting room became quiet again.

"Everyone, don't be so optimistic. We can't rely on Director Nie to play alone. We still need to make corresponding arrangements based on their levels and styles. Director Nie can make arrangements accordingly, right?"

"Yes, President Lin is right. It is still necessary for us to hold this meeting."

"Our piano association takes this visit and exchange very seriously..."

Lin Feng was very happy to see that everyone was more well-behaved than the other, and he looked at Cai Zekai with gratitude.

Cai Zekai chuckled and said, "I didn't get the position of vice president for nothing. Look, it's very useful now."

The follow-up of the meeting went smoothly. There were only a dozen or so famous and talented pianists among them. To be on the safe side, Lin Feng also brought in some young pianists who had just joined the Piano Association to deal with the situation.

After a while, Cai Zekai followed Lin Feng into his president's office.

"Zekai, Zhu Jun should be able to participate, right?"

"No problem. I just notified him. He's coming back by plane. He'll be there tomorrow."

"My new disciple Xia Mo will also be here, and the young people will have more exchanges with each other then."

"Xia Mo? I haven't heard you mention her before. Is she your new disciple?"

"Yes, a very talented little girl. By the way, you should have heard of her mother."

"Who is it?" Cai Zekai asked in surprise. Among the women he knew, few had children named Xia Mo.

"Lin Xi, the female singer, Xia Mo is her child. She has been exposed to music and played the piano since she was a child, otherwise I would not have accepted her as an apprentice."

Cai Zekai suddenly remembered that he was not familiar with Lin Xi, the father of the girl Qu. He could only say that he knew her, but he really didn't know her family situation.

"Then congratulations, you have a talented disciple."

Lin Feng was in a good mood, but he was more curious about Xiao Yue's identity, so he asked, "Okay, tell me about Director Nie. I don't dare to think about what you said just now."

Cai Zekai smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Minister Nie is her second grandfather, her father is a military commander, and her mother is the dancer Tao Yuling. I don't know about other relatives. Anyway, they are all people in the system and they are very well hidden."

"The mother is Tao Yuling?"

Cai Zekai was shocked. He knew Tao Yuling. When he first returned to China, he heard Ye Mujin complain that his good friend Ye Wangzhou was pursuing Tao Yuling, a woman eight years older than him. He also said that he could be a father and have a 21-year-old daughter.

Isn't this a small world? I met people I know all the time.

That 21-year-old daughter, could she be referring to Nie Xingyue?

Ahem, luckily Ye Wangzhou didn’t catch up with the other person, otherwise this matter would have no way of ending.

"Why? Do you know Tao Yuling?"

Cai Zekai quickly tried to make up for it, saying, "I've heard of him. He's a very famous dancer."

Lin Feng said: "I feel relieved now. With Director Nie here, our strength has greatly increased. I believe she will make good arrangements."

"Well, see you tomorrow then."
