Chapter 424
"What do you want to ask me and you still have to have an interview?" When he saw an acquaintance appear in front of him, Jin Zhongming couldn't help but yawn.
"Sorry, oppa, I'll disturb you so late." Taeyeon chuckled, then bowed politely, and then sat in the opposite seat.
Kim Taeyeon's appearance is a bit more charming than the feeling of being always timid and cautious in the past, which makes Kim Jong-ming's heart move slightly.
Of course, just moving slightly is more sleepy. He has been busy these days, let alone being called out from the bed by the other party this time.
In this way, on the evening of summer, Kim Taeyeon and Kim Jong-ming appeared together in a bar in Jiangnan. This kind of news is destined to become a popular search on SNS, and there are probably no missing various speculations, but if you really want to tell what happened between them, the only person involved will know.
"I have something to ask about oppa." After sitting down, Taeyeon still seemed straightforward and straightforward in her words, which surprised Kim Jong-ming.
"you say."
"I heard that someone in Exo is leaving the team?"
"Taeyon." Kim Jong-ming immediately became big and then said with a forced smile. "The water is clear and there is no fish, and the people are observing and there is no friends... Have you heard this? The so-called world is nothing, so why do you have to cause trouble?"
"Is that true?" Taeyeon asked seriously.
"Oh." Jin Zhongming nodded helplessly. "The Captain Wu from Exo, in fact, he has always wanted to leave. This time he saw your company a little overwhelmed, so he stayed in China and was not going to come back. Due to the current situation, your company is unwilling to be in trouble at this time... As for me, because I had an exchange with him a long time ago, I had a first word, so I greeted him with your company."
"is that so?"
"Yes." Kim Jong-ming continued to shake his head, and then continued. "And I won't hide some things from you. The Canadian facial paralysis named Wu is just talking about me, so I just take it. But I won't take the blame for the other Chinese and Chinese artists in Exo."
"Are they leaving too?" Taeyeon slightly locked her eyebrows.
"Of course, maybe there are some people who stay." Kim Jong-ming replied dismissively. "But the possibility of leaving is greater. Who makes the Chinese market soar? There is no reason to stop others from making money, right? And... it's not my business anyway."
"So that's it." Taeyeon nodded thoughtfully. "Oppa, what's going on with our company being taxed this time? Everyone said that it was because the new songs that Krystal and the others were going to release next month had something to do with Segoku, which made some big names unhappy... Is that true?"
"Yes, that's it." Even though Brigade Wu left the company, Kim Jong-ming asked himself nothing to hide. "This thing is said to be sent directly to the president's desk and attracted the attention of the president himself. Then specifically, it was Yu Bingyu, the chief civil affairs secretary of the Blue House. He is a prosecutor, a typical legal gangster, and his methods are relatively bad. This tax check was actually deliberately hanging your company, and then decide how much force it was to use after seeing the performance of your company... Putting aside, this method is actually quite good."
"Then," Taeyeon continued. "Oppa Do you think our company will bow its head?"
"No!" Jin Zhongming shook his head repeatedly. "At least I don't think so. Not to mention whether the big man behind your company will allow your company to bow easily, just say that in this situation, your company's performance doesn't seem to be really going to bow its head... If you are really going to bow your head, how could you let all kinds of rumors fly everywhere? It's long time to clean up the situation. I see this, your company should be gritting its teeth and taking the next step."
Taeyeon nodded again.
"Is there any more?" Kim Jong-ming couldn't help but yawn again, then reached out and urged. "What else should I ask? Let's get so sleepy as soon as possible."
"It's gone." Taeyeon replied simply. "It's just that she's curious about these things... I'm just asking for an oppa tonight for this little thing. I'm so sorry, I'll go back first."
Jin Zhongming looked at the other party strangely, then nodded casually.
Taeyeon immediately stood up, saluted again, then picked up her bag and turned away. The movements should be as straightforward as they were, and they should be as straightforward as they were, which was really different from the style of painting in daily life.
"Wait a moment!" Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned, and then suddenly spoke.
Unexpectedly, Kim Taeyeon seemed to be so noisy in the bar that she didn't hear it, and just left on her own.
"Come back!" Jin Zhongming slightly increased the volume.
However, Kim Taeyeon still did not respond, but instead vaguely accelerated the frequency of pace.
"Kim Taeyeon, come back!" Kim Jong-ming simply shouted out in a roar.
Now Kim Taeyeon finally stopped... There was no way. In fact, most of the people in the bar had already put some attention on the two of them, and at this moment Kim Jong-ming roared out, and almost the entire bar suddenly became silent, and Taeyeon immediately had no room to dodge.
"Come back." Kim Jong-ming waved to the other party. "I have something to ask you."
This sentence was like a signal light, and the bar immediately became lively again, and the atmosphere was even more inexplicably higher than before. Taeyeon finally sat back honestly.
"Does your company want you to do something?" After the two sat facing each other again, Kim Jong-ming began to make a clear statement.
Taeyeon lowered her head and said nothing.
"It seems to be true." Jin Zhongming shook his head. "If I hadn't understood your personality, I would have thought you were a scheming bitch. I deliberately came over to reveal the news and asked me for help... I won't talk about this anymore, what's the specific operation?"
"Risk," Taeyeon said with her head down. "I and Baekhyun of Exo."
"Oh." Kim Jong-ming looked suddenly. "It's also a strong alliance. Shao Shi and Exo are the two most valuable combinations of your company. You and Baekhyun Bian are also the most valuable members of the obedient people in their respective groups... As soon as this scandal came out, Shao Shi renewed the contract and the Exo members stayed in China and would probably be able to cover up. Even the tax check may have some concealment and impact... But don't you feel depressed?"
"Actually, I don't think this matter is difficult, it's an artist. The reason I came over to ask you about those things was just because the president mentioned a few more words when he told me about hype scandals, and then I was a little surprised... it was two different things."
"Maybe." Kim Jong-ming refused to comment. "You have a good relationship with Bian Baekhyun?"
"fine."
“Will it not be embarrassing?”
"All adults, what's the embarrassment? Maybe you can still have a fake show... I do think he's pretty good."
"Your fans will definitely collapse." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "My sister and brother, and the little white face..."
"In their eyes, we should all never get married or fall in love for the rest of our lives, and then keep our 18-year-old face unchanged..."
"You know I don't mean that." Kim Jong-ming continued to shake his head. "I want to emphasize that your fans will be particularly angry at this relationship because of your young age, because it will make them lose their previous high attitude towards exo fans. Exo fans will have a natural sense of hatred because of female fans. And I am frank, it is unlikely that you and Baekhyun Bian. If you have the mentality of "fake plays and real things", it will only make everyone more exciting... This scandal seems to be a farce to trigger disputes between fans on both sides."
"Isn't this what we need?" Taeyeon suddenly looked up and asked.
"It's what your company needs, not what you need." Kim Jong-ming sighed helplessly. "You can't always think about others, you have to think about yourself. Doing this will only cause yourself to get into various troubles... Or does Kim Young-min give you something else to promise?"
Taeyeon was silent again.
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming also reacted. "It is at the juncture of renewal negotiations... At this time, accepting the company's obvious promise will make other members have ideas, but on the other hand, Taeyeon, you just accept the company's arrangements so casually. Will some teammates think that you have accepted any promises you shouldn't have accepted?"
"Their misunderstandings may not be a bad thing."
"This is interesting." Kim Jong-ming raised his eyebrows suddenly. "It sounds like he has resentment towards whom?"
"Nothing!" Taeyeon quickly explained, then lowered her voice again. "Or... it's not that she has resentment towards someone, but that she is a little uneasy about her current anxious state."
"What's upset?" Kim Jong-ming asked disapprovingly. "When talking about business, it's related to your own interests. The price you offer is a little lower, and the price I offer is a little higher. There must be a discussion process."
"But we only have one choice, right?" Taeyeon replied helplessly. "If we really can't reach an agreement, can we go to other places now? To put it bluntly, we can only sell it to this company. Why do we have to drag our members who don't have many ideas to argue with the company?"
"This is a bit misleading." Kim Jong-ming sneered. "But Taeyeon, have you made a mistake... With me here, do you dare not buy it?! This deal was decided from the beginning!"
Taeyeon was silent for a while, and after a long time, she spoke again: "Some things may not be necessary, right? Just like this time, according to Oppa, a big man like the Chief Civil Affairs Secretary of the Blue House took action directly, and his methods were so ruthless... But the company still dared not to resist? It's not just because of the company's backend, right?"
"You are right." Kim Jong-ming continued to smile. "I don't look down on a few people in the Korean entertainment industry, but your teacher Li Xiuman is indeed an exception. This person's pragmatism is strongly excessive, but sometimes he can do some idealistic things... It's like this time, if he hadn't set the tone for the company early, how could your company hold on?"
"What exactly is Teacher Li Xiuman doing?"
"What's there to pursue?" Kim Jong-ming replied disrespectfully. "Maybe it's for that little social conscience that has been almost exhausted; maybe it's because of the reason you told me before that he was overwhelmed by his wife's illness; or maybe there's a little bit of a scholar's backbone in his bones; of course, the most likely thing is that he feels that former President Kim Dae-jung, who supported him back then, has such a little bit of Confucian grace for him, uh, Confucianism's kindness...but it doesn't matter anymore."
"Why?" Taeyeon asked seriously.
"Because people's energy and backbone are limited, your teacher Lee Sooman has no time to ask about the company's affairs in this state? This time it is just a big strategy I explained before. But the company does not have Lee Sooman. Shouldn't I just rub it if I want to rub it, and if I want to rub it, I just rub it if I want to rub it? Are you looking at your President Kim Young-min and Executive Han who come to me to come to me to beat it?"
Taeyeon sighed slightly: "I shouldn't have come to look for oppa."
"So it will make people mistakenly think that you are a scheming woman." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "You don't need to have any scandals. I will tell Kim Young-min, and he dare not refuse to agree..."
Taeyeon shook her head.
"What does this mean?" Kim Jong-ming immediately frowned.
"I may not have various statements like Mr. Lee Soo-man, but I have been an artist for so many years. "Taeyeon replied calmly. "Don't understand it wrongly. I want to say that some things are unwilling to be on the surface, but I still have to do it... Of course, when things go down, I will apologize to the fans... Oppa thinks I am pedantic or ridiculous, but I do want to share some pressure for the company. This is my own choice."
Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and then he really wanted to laugh, but before he could laugh, he was already exhausted.
In the end, he waved his hand a little irritatedly, letting the other party go, and letting the other party go quickly: "Change your mind and find me at any time!"
Taeyeon nodded, then quickly got up and left.
In this way, after sitting for a while, Jin Zhongming looked around with the faint eyes in the bar, and was already sleepy. Finally, he actually picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, then got up and left.
