The negotiation process is particularly difficult.

This is almost inevitable, because it is not only Sika and Xiuying who have doubts about portrait rights, but in fact each member has his own demands.

Some people have ideas about the renewal period, some have requirements for resource allocation, and some have pursuit of income sharing... But these are flexible and can be discussed, but the only one portrait right is really embarrassing.

s.m company is not willing to let go, and Xika and Xiuying both have urgent needs for this. On this issue, the conflict between the two sides seems to be irreconcilable at all, and only one side can give in unconditionally.

"Okay," Kim Young-min said with a narrow eye. "I have clearly received the requests from each of you. The company will carefully consider and study them, but I have to remind you two things..."

The nine people were immediately shocked.

"First, since it is a negotiation, the company, as one of them, is qualified to make its own demands. Don't put yourself to the moral height of the exploited workers. In fact, we represent hundreds of employees, are more like ordinary workers among both labor and capital; second, the parties to the negotiation are S.m and Girls' Generation. Three of us are authorized by the company, which is enough to represent S.m., and nine of you have to add one to be qualified to represent Girls' Generation... Do you understand?"

No one said anything.

"Okay, let's get here today!" Kim Young-min stood up and waved his hand a little tired. "Everyone goes back and think about it carefully. You have to come up with a plan in the name of the nine people in the next negotiation... That's it!"

After saying that, the president took the lead, three senior executives of S.M company came out one after another, leaving only nine girls with their own thoughts in the conference room.

"Although the president has bad intentions, the truth is right." The first person to speak was Soo Young, who actually agreed with Kim Young Min's logic. "Nine people must come up with a plan together. It is meaningless to say it like this."

Everyone didn't know how to respond for a while, because that's true. Only when the entire group reached an agreement with the company on hard conditions could they discuss the soft interests of resource allocation with the company in the name of the individual. Or simply say that these soft personal interests are bargaining chips for bargaining with the company on hard conditions.

One is personal, the other is collective. Individuals need to accommodate the collective, and the collective also needs to take care of individuals... This is probably the most troublesome thing.

"Portrait rights...what do you think?" Xiuying gritted her teeth and asked. She knew that this question was the most deadly, but she couldn't escape it. A combination of nine people, only two people had requirements for a hard condition, which itself did not conform to the basic mathematical principles.

Sure enough, the response to Sooyoung was only silence. Sika looked around, but no one was willing to express her opinion, which undoubtedly made the two feel frustrated.

"We have to unite," Soo-young was working hard as much as possible. "The most taboo thing at this time is internal inconsistency. The company has too rich experience, so maybe there will be some means waiting for us at this time."

"You can't say that, right?" Hyoyeon coughed dryly. "The company is still very helpful to us. If there are any methods, it should have been used in the first half of the year... Xiuying."

"Um?"

"Are you in love with the son of a big director?"

“…”

"You see, the company has not even hyped up things like scandals. Some time ago, the company was in such a difficult situation. Exploring scandals not only slowed down pressure, but also weakened the value of our group. They warned individual members that they did not do anything that could kill three birds with one stone..."

Hearing this, Taeyeon lay on the table with some annoyance.

"What are these Hyoyeon, you think?" Sunny looked at the person talking with some caution.

"No." Hyoyeon replied frankly. "This is what my friend told me, and I think it makes sense."

"What else did he say?" Sunny asked speechlessly.

"He also said that I don't have to worry and feel free to date him. He said that even if the rest of my life was exposed to be in love eight times, the company would not think of what was on my head... because my scandal was worthless."

“…”

“…”

"How did you reply?" Sunny asked with difficulty.

"I slapped him." Hyoyeon said bluntly. "Then he shouted to call the police, so I called the company's people to deal with him."

"Just pretend I didn't ask."

Hyoyeon's interruption made the atmosphere in the conference room good, and just as everyone was about to discuss in depth whether the company was really humane, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Officiale Han asked me to inform you to participate in the "Golden Fishery" collectively on the weekend." The visitor said. "The other party will not ask some sensitive questions about contract renewal directly, but at the closing time, we should try our best to show the internal stability and unity of the combination."

It is open and upright, so the nine people naturally have nothing to say.

However, after the staff member left, the atmosphere that had just become lively became quiet again, and everyone didn't know how to restart... After seven years, everyone is no longer a furious child who just casually takes out his thoughts for everyone to listen to.

"Let's just stop here today." Yoona said with a little depressed voice. "Onis will think about it when they go back. After recording the show on the weekend, we will gather together and discuss it carefully."

Everyone nodded, but Xika and Xiuying were inevitably a little disappointed when they nodded... In fact, they understood that the other seven people had expressed their attitudes in a concealed and clear manner.

"Sika said she has many wonderful imaginations about the future... What do you think of Taeyeon? Do you support her dream?" Kim Jong-ra suddenly put an irrelevant problem in front of Taeyeon, who was at a loss.

Outside the recording hall, the assistant of s.m company almost instantly turned black.

What can Taeyeon say? She nodded immediately and said, "It must be good to have dreams. As a teammate, I am very happy to see her achievement."

"Oh, then let's do some support!" Jin Jiula refused to give in. "Or it would sound like perfunctory."

Taeyeon smiled in a breakdown, but finally showed up in a cheerful position to Sikabi.

All the members laughed together, but some people laughed so hard.

To put it bluntly, Xika's dream not only touched the common interests of everyone, but also brought unnecessary risks to the entire group at this negotiation... But she has a good brother!

The whole show was clearly agreed to show the unity of the nine people in Shaoshi, but except for one Jo Kyuhyun, all the other mcs put the topic intentionally or unintentionally on Kim Jong-ming. In dozens of minutes of interviews, the eight people other than Sika got the opportunity to add a piece as much as Sika, and there were many people like Taeyeon who were inexplicably pulled over to interact with Sika.

It's okay to just do this. After all, Kim Jong-ming is on the cusp of the storm, and it's not unreasonable to understand the show's popularity. The key to the problem lies in his attitude. These MCs are considered long-standing figures in the industry, but they almost have no stance to help Xika. The title of princess in the entertainment industry is really not false!

As for this, whether it was the rest of the people or the people from s.m, they could only let them go.

"Go to have a drink?" As soon as the ended, Sika, who knew the atmosphere was not right, took the initiative to invite his teammates. "I just learned about a specialty bar recently, which is very good."

"I'm a little sleepy." It was obvious that he was the proactive suggester of the party before, but Yoona still expressed her attitude directly. "Oh Ni, go play, I'll go back to sleep first."

"I have something to do, too." Xu Xian also expressed his dissatisfaction with a calm expression. "I just accepted the application from the Artist Rights Mutual Aid Committee. I will go to help for the first time tomorrow. It's not good to drink too much... It's not good to absent from work... O'Nies go and play!"

"Where are you?" Xika was inevitably discouraged by the two youngest statements. It was not that she didn't understand the thoughts of her teammates, but now she is really in trouble. The best solution now is to let her teammates recognize her first, and then talk to the company in the name of the group.

"Forget it today." Taeyeon, who was still supporting Sika's dream on the show before, was also a little cold. "It's better to go back and think about it first, and then communicate with each other honestly when you have mature ideas. Anyway, you can't avoid it."

The captain spoke, and most of them nodded, and Sika was helpless.

After saying that, the six of them dispersed first. Sunny paused for a moment and finally chose to turn around and leave. For a moment, only Xika and Xiuying were left in their original place, which was clearly different.

In this way, watching his teammates leave, just as Sika was in a state of dismay, Xiuying suddenly spoke firmly:

"Oni!"

"What?" Sika was obviously at a loss.

"I have an idea!" Xiuying said with a red face.
