Chapter 360: Doubts are gone, but fear is coming
readx;? In Paris, a drizzle of rain drifts outside a café. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Inside the info building, two figures are sitting facing each other in the position next to the glass window. One looked at the other side quietly, while the other looked at the phone with some surprise.
"When, is this news?"
Lin Xi, who briefly browsed the news content, repeatedly glanced at the accompanying pictures a few times. He has a good memory, and he quickly matched the time and place in the picture like Kim Taeyeon. Then he looked up at Li Ran on the opposite side and frowned and asked.
"Looks like you have your own ideas, this photo was pressed when I was still in the company. And the news you see is today. According to the time difference, Seoul is exactly in the morning, that is, this morning. Li Ran took back his mobile phone and lightly gave the information that Lin Xi wanted.
The fingers gently tapped on the tabletop, the sound and strength were not loud, but the impact of the fingers and the hardwood could bring Lin Xi a clear sense of reality, to assist Lin Xi's thinking. After half a sound, he sighed and looked at Li Ran opposite, "Is the new official taking office three fires? There is no reason, then the company should not give him this." In doing so, he is simply harming himself and benefiting others. ”
"Yes? I think it's a lot of good. Li Ran didn't agree with Lin Xi's opinion.
"What's the benefit?" Maybe it's about yourself, maybe it's the little one in your heart. Lin Xi was also a little anxious, and he didn't even have the heart to think about it. But even so, he had a vague guess in his heart, but it was the direction he didn't want to think about.
And Li Ran seemed to see through Lin Xi's inner thoughts, looked directly at him, and said coldly, "You should have guessed what kind of situation and result is what the other party wants to see the situation and get benefits the most, right?"
On the other side, Lin Xi's eyes were already straight at this time, he pursed his lips, and was silent for a few minutes. Only then did he look at Li Ran, his eyes and tone became a little cold at this time, this was also the first time that Lin Xi showed such an expression in front of Li Ran, "So, what you warned me about before was because of this matter, right?
Li Ran shook his head, not annoyed and angry by Lin Xi's reaction, but said his words lightly, "First, when I gave you a warning at that time, I didn't know what would happen, I just had a guess. Second, I didn't come to you today for this purpose. I originally wanted to come over and sign a contract with you, but I happened to see the news on the road, so I just let you know by the way. ”
The originally angry eyes suddenly disappeared, and a somewhat confused gaze appeared instead. Staring at Li Ran, this sudden topic made Lin Xi's head a little stunned, "Sign?"
"Well, didn't you call me over here just to recruit people for your team?" Li Ran looked at Lin Xi, as if he had seen through his thoughts again. The corners of his mouth actually raised a smile that shocked Lin Xi, it was really evil.
But he was right. Lin Xi talked to Li Ran on the phone a few days ago, saying that there was a job here, and he really wanted to recruit Li Ran into his team. Although he had the help of Ansel and a few people here, he was already much more relaxed, but as Lin Jun said before, in addition to the ordinary members of the team, Lin Xi still had to find two people himself. Two henchmen, one management team and one in charge of finance.
And long before Lin Jun told Lin Xi, after knowing that he might need to open another studio in the future, Lin Xi had a candidate for the position of finance, so there must have been a candidate for the position of management. And this person is none other than Li Ran, who Lin Xi faced the day after he came to Seoul.
But at that time, because the situation of the studio was still far away, and Li Ran had his own job, he didn't have any ideas, and it was naturally delayed later. It wasn't until Lin Jun mentioned it again, and then heard Kim Taeyeon say that Li Ran had resigned, that Lin Xi rekindled this idea, and the phone call that day was also aimed at this purpose.
And Li Ran is not stupid, Lin Xi said the beginning. Later, he only needed to figure out the basic situation of the designers in the fashion circle, and then pay attention to the meaning of the team and the studio, Li Ran naturally understood what Lin Xi's call was. In the past few days, in addition to relaxing, I am also thinking about the feasibility of this new job or whether I want to do it. It wasn't until today that Li Ran thought clearly about coming over to have a showdown with Lin Xi. As a result, I accidentally happened to see this news on the way over, and then the above scene appeared.
"Oh, sure enough, it's easy to talk to smart people. You agreed to this job and it would have been a happy thing, but now that I have just happened, I don't know whether to be happy or annoyed. Lin Xi sighed deeply, looking at Li Ran opposite with a smile on his face, and he was also a little weak.
Li Ran probably also understood Lin Xi's mood at this time, glanced at his mobile phone, and his tone was also a little surprised, "Seriously, when I saw this news just now, I was also a little surprised." Although he had this idea through some speculations about the company's situation before leaving, he didn't expect him to be so resolute, and he has only been in office for a few days. Speaking of this, Li Ran's mind couldn't help but think of the appearance of Jin Zhongxu, the smile that didn't smile, "But that's right, his identity is just right to directly suppress the negative impact of this matter, and when it's over, the result will only be good, not bad." If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do that even if I wanted to, so I wouldn't be able to do it. ”
"Jin's ......" Lin Xi knew the meaning of what Li Ran said, so he muttered this surname a few times.
"Do you have any plans? If nothing else, according to his current vigorous and resolute style, you will not have to worry about it again in a week. At this time, Li Ran didn't hesitate, and directly threw the problem to Lin Xi. Yes, if there is no source of trouble, what else do you need to worry about?
It's just that his statement was so direct that Lin Xizhi frowned, "Do you think the result will be like this?"
"Depending on how you respond, there may be a chance of one or two percent after using your brain. If you don't make a voice and let it develop, it's ten. Li Ran, who has been in that position for a few years, after seeing this news, how could he not see through the series of plans that followed. You know, even Lin Xi guessed something.
"Why?" Lin Xi was really angry.
"Then you think, after this news comes out. In order to get the results you want, what will be the next step for the company over there?" Li Ran did not answer Lin Xi's question, but asked the other party rhetorically.
After Lin Xi was silent for a while, he probably thought of something, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he directly scolded in a low voice, "Damn, he dares." ”
"There is no dare, no dare, interests first. Even if there is no interest, in terms of identity, people are not afraid. Besides, people didn't do anything, and they didn't stop you from falling in love with other people's idols before and hid it for you. Now that I've helped you open up about my relationship, I don't need your thanks to be worthy of you, what else do you have to say. Li Ran was still calm, and it seemed that he had seen Lin Xi's expression like this now, and he had seen this situation many times.
What Li Ran said, Lin Xi naturally understood. Although he attended some drinking parties with Lin Zhenmin before, in some ways, these people may also sell face to their big brother. But the premise is that there is no conflict of interest, and this premise is very important, because if it involves the situation of interests, everything will change with it, and the rest will be a little difficult to say. The reason why his previous relationship with Kim Taeyeon has been quiet is that S&M's acquiescence can be regarded as the biggest protective barrier. You must know that the situation in the entertainment industry in South Korea is extremely sick. Here, everything is related to connections and seniority, positions, and even party affiliation.
Here, some newspapers can report the news, if it is not accidental. Most of them were announced after meeting with other companies, chatting with each other. So most of the news and news that fans and people get are the ones that people want you to know. For example, in the case of hype and planning, some large companies naturally have a certain relationship with the newspaper to operate, so as not to worry about causing some negative news. Of course, this refers to the big companies, and the small companies are a different story.
Therefore, the reason why the relationship between Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon has not been exposed without being exposed in such a presumptuous shopping around is that Li Ran and Kim Young-min acquiesced at the beginning, and then suppressed the reports of these newspapers in the name of the company. Therefore, these unspoken rules are perfectly concealed, and the other side of the darkness is tightly covered. In recent years, if it weren't for the rapid development of the Internet, it is estimated that some things would not have appeared in front of everyone.
And there is a saying in this sick circle: If you want to know everything about your idol, don't ask the reporter, and don't ask the person in charge of the company. You only need to know an illegitimate meal of your idol, then all the secrets of your idol's are no longer secrets. You can even know what color your idol is wearing today. The premise is that you know and are willing to tell you.
Don't talk nonsense, what Lin Xi is annoying about now is the result that the S&M company wants to see behind this matter, and he is against himself. But people didn't do anything to you, and now they are also putting things on the table in a dignified manner, although there may be other plans behind them. But what the hell, after this news came out, he told Lin Xi in a bright way, even if the company wants to yin you, you can only bear it.
Li Ran and Lin Xi saw through this situation at a glance. But if it was a general situation, Lin Xi would have accepted it, just like the original variety show invitation. But not this time, the result they wanted this time happened to be the one that Lin Xi was most unwilling to give up. So, now it's right.
The drizzle outside the window was still drifting, and passers-by in a hurry walked with umbrellas.
Take a deep breath of the air in the café, but even if the heating is turned on, the air in Lin Xi's lungs still gives him a very cold feeling. I don't know if it's a trembling heart, or if it's really cold. When the atmosphere reached this point, Li Ran and Lin Xi were silent. Some problems can not be solved by thinking about it, but can be solved by saying that they want to solve it, and this is the case at this time.
After a long time, the two cups of coffee on the table that were originally steaming cold also cooled down, and Li Ran also spoke again at this time, "Okay, let's go here for personal matters first." Tell me about the work you asked me to do, you don't plan to delay it all the time because of this incident. ”
"No, that aside. Actually, I'm curious why you just agreed. "There is a clear distinction between public and private, even if the situation behind this news still makes Lin Xi helpless and even upset, but the work still needs to be carried out. Therefore, when Li Ran spoke, Lin Xi also reluctantly showed a bitter smile.
"The office will be boring after sitting for a long time, and a job like yours can run around, work irregular hours, and get paid, but it is also a good place to relax. After listening to Lin Xi's curiosity, Li Ran simply gave a few examples, and then stopped talking.
Such a reason, if other people listen to it, may feel confusing and unrealistic. But in Lin Xi's ears, it was very real. So just like Li Ran, he didn't ask more and say more. paid the bill and left, and took Li Ran to the headquarters.
Sign a contract, introduce the team members, and finally explain the direction of work. After a series of actions, a long time has passed. But Lin Xi was much happier, because with Li Ran joining, in the next time, maybe he could go back to Seoul to see what was going on there. Far away in Paris, and I can't meet Kim Taeyeon, it's troublesome to talk, how can I solve the problem. It is precisely because of this that just now after he heard Li Ran say that he promised to sign a contract with him, why did he feel a little excited in all kinds of distress.
After solving this tedious entry work, Lin Xi quickly entrusted the management of the special show to Li Ran. Li Ran, who had finished taking notes, glanced at Lin Xi, then lowered his head and continued to write, but said distractedly, "You are in such a hurry to throw me the problem of work, you want to go back to Seoul." ”
"Well, if this matter is not sorted out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to calm down. Lin Xi didn't deny it, and nodded very happily.
Listening to Lin Xi's answer, Li Ran was not surprised. Isn't it Lin Xi, who is usually a little lazy, but has a straightforward and calm personality in the matter, that he agreed to come down to this job? So he didn't stop the other party, but just said lightly, "Originally, this matter is your private matter, and I can't get involved." But there are some issues involved in my previous job, if you have any trouble, let me know. Although I have left my job, some small things can still help you. ”
"Thank you, but it's not clear whether this thing is good or bad right now. Perhaps all our previous speculations are just unfounded. Lin Xi smiled, and the words he said were a little self-deceptive. However, this was also Lin Xi's natural reaction in order to hide his inner worries.
Lin Xi's answer made Li Ran stunned, and the hand that was taking notes also paused, and then he didn't look up, but said lightly, "I hope." ”
"Then I'll leave the job to you, and I'm going to leave now. Lin Xi, who was anxious, thought about it and didn't want to delay.
"Well, I don't know much about the situation here, though. But now it's just a runway for a special show, and there won't be a big problem. "Li Ran, who had such a bunker in his predecessor, how could he be difficult to find him for this small job now. Although the nature is different, the management is the same.
When Lin Xi heard this, he finally laughed. It's just that when he looked at the sky outside, he darkened again and sighed, "Taeyeon, what are you doing now!"
……
In Seoul, Kim Taeyeon was standing in the practice room with a frightened face, looking at a comment on the phone screen and looking at the fonts in the content. Then, all the doubts brought to her by this morning's news were finally solved at this time.
However, although the doubts are gone, the horror will follow!! (to be continued.) )
