Chapter Eighty-Three: The First Time with Uncle Man!
Lee Chi-ho specially followed Sunny to S.M. today, and met Taeyeon just by the way, he actually had more important things, that is, he made an appointment with Sunny's uncle, S.M.'s art director Lee so-man.
So after leaving the practice room of Girls' Generation, Li Chihao walked directly to the safe passage and went straight to the door of the art director's office on the sixth floor.
The secretary at the door saw that Li Chihao was very unfamiliar, and he didn't bring a work card or temporary ID, so he asked strangely: "Aniase, how can I help you?"
"Aniase, my name is Li Chihao, and I made an appointment with Director Li Xiuman yesterday to meet at half past ten today. ”
The secretary glanced at the guest table on the table and found that there was indeed Li Chihao's name, and next to his name, there were three specially added stars, representing the company's highest VIPs.
Thinking of this, the secretary didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately said politely: "Please come in with me, the director has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Li Chihao smiled and followed the secretary into the office of S.M. who didn't want to come to the first time, and saw the legendary Uncle Man as soon as he entered the door.
Sure enough, just like in the photo, he looks a little obscene, especially after hearing the secretary's introduction, the smile he showed is really how obscene and obscene.
Li Xiuman's office is relatively simple, if you want to talk about the highlight, it is the photos of various groups launched by him, which can be seen that the leader of S.M. is still quite narcissistic.
After the secretary went out, Li Xiuman welcomed with a smile: "Li Chihaoxi, it's really a blessing, this seems to be the first time we have met since you became a shareholder, it's really not easy to meet you, do you need tea or coffee?"
"Let's drink tea, it's not very healthy to drink coffee early in the morning, in fact, I have also wanted to see Director Li Xiuman for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity. Li Chihao said politely.
"I didn't expect Li Chihao xi to know about health at such a young age, I thought that only an old man like us knew how to drink tea to maintain health. ”
After making a phone call to the secretary outside the door and explaining a few words, Li Xiuman raised his head, looked at Li Chihao, who was a little familiar on the other side, and said: "Originally, I explained to the front desk, and when you arrived at the company, I will inform me, and I plan to personally greet you, the major shareholder, and take you to visit the company by the way. ”
Li Chihao didn't expect Li Xiuman to be so enthusiastic, so he replied with a smile: "Director Li is too polite, in fact, it's not that the front desk forgot to notify, but I didn't go to the front door at all, so of course it is impossible for the front desk to notify you." ”
"Then how did Li Chihao Xi come in, as far as I know, the security of our company should be very good, and there has never been a situation where illegitimate meals have been stolen in. ”
Seeing Li Xiuman's curiosity, Li Chihao decided to tease the father of S.M., and deliberately induced him: "I lived with your niece yesterday, so I took a ride in the morning and came in directly with her through the back door." ”
Sure enough, after hearing his answer, Li Xiuman asked with a surprised face, "Shungyu? How is it possible, I haven't heard that she has a boyfriend recently?"
He still understands the love problems of his artists, let alone his niece, so he was very shocked by Li Chihao's words.
Seeing Li Xiuman like this, Li Chihao couldn't help laughing, "Director Li misunderstood something, it seems that he doesn't pay enough attention to his niece, Sunny and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend, we just recorded the show and lived together yesterday." ”
Hearing Li Chihao say this, Li Xiuman looked at his familiar face again, and immediately knew what the program he was talking about was, and finally knew why it felt familiar, it turned out to be seen in the news of the signing meeting not long ago.
"I really didn't expect that Li Chihao Xi is still an actor, was the acquisition of S.M.'s shares to prepare for future development?"
Li Chihao shook his head and replied: "Director Li thinks too much, do you think that a low-key actor like me needs to buy S.M. shares to do something for me?"
Li Xiuman is right to think about it, this is a well-known low-key person in the circle, and he will definitely not be for himself, so he can't help but wonder: "Then why did Li Chihao Xi want to acquire so many shares of S.M. Company?"
"Of course there is a reason, and this is also the reason for coming to see Director Li today, I heard that S.M. Company will launch a new girl group group soon, right?" Li Chihao knocked lightly on the table and asked lightly.
"New girl group, do you mean to buy shares for one of the members?"
Li Xiuman was thinking about the newly launched reserve members of the girl group, and he didn't think of anyone in it who would be related to him.
Li Chihao directly gave the answer: "Pei Zhuhyun, I believe that Director Li Xiuman should be no stranger, she should be selected as the captain of this new women's group." ”
"Li Chihao Xi actually knows this?"
Hearing Pei Zhuhyun's name, it was enough to surprise Li Xiuman, but he didn't expect the other party to even know the planning of the combination, you must know that the day before yesterday he discussed with the senior management, and tentatively appointed Pei Zhuhyun as the captain, and the company has not announced the news yet.
This can't help but make Li Xiuman wonder if there are already people arranged by Li Chihao in the high-level, which is not a good phenomenon.
You must know that there are already many shareholders in S.M., and there is a situation of interfering in the company's operations, but most of them are middle and low-level personnel, and if even the top management is co-opted, the company may become more chaotic in the future.
But fortunately, in the next moment, after Li Xiuman heard Li Chihao's complaint, he broke this idea.
"What's so strange about this, S.M. is not the oldest captain in the company, I don't think there will be any older members in the new girl group than our cabbage, right?"
Listening to Li Chihao's affectionate name for Bae Joo-hyun, as well as the doting expression on his face, Li Xiuman roughly guessed his intention.
"That's right, the plan for his debut has basically been decided, Bae Joo-hyun is the captain of the new girl group Red Velvet, Lee Chi-ho xi came to the company today, it is Bae Joo-hyun's debut, what are the special requirements, right?"
"It's not a special requirement, I just hope that before my debut, I will make the ugly words clear. ”
"After debuting, I don't want our family Joo-hyun to participate in drinking parties or trips such as accompanying wine, and in terms of styling, it can't be too out-of-place or exposed. ”
"As for the resources, there are no requirements, just follow the company's arrangement, anyway, as far as I know, that girl doesn't like to run the itinerary very much. ”
Li Xiuman heard that Li Chihao only had these requirements, and replied perfunctorily: "There must be no problem in terms of styling, as for the itinerary of the cocktail party, our company is relatively small, except for some special ones that cannot be shirked, and never take the initiative to pick it up, so Li Chihao xi, please rest assured." ”
"I don't think so, as far as I know, Girls' Generation and F(x) don't rarely participate in such drinking parties, although they are more formal, but it is still indispensable to be persuaded to drink. "Before Li Chihao came, of course he investigated the situation of S.M., and of course he would not be sent away by Li Xiuman's words.
Li Xiuman explained with an embarrassed smile: "Many of those are officially organized, and we have to participate, this kind of event is inevitable." ”
Li Chihao nodded to indicate that he knew, but still insisted: "I know, but I hope that after Joo Hyun's debut, he will not appear at such an event." ”
Li Xiuman said in embarrassment: "Li Chihaoxi, I hope you can understand, it is really impossible not to participate at all, after all, the organizers of some events, even our so-called first brokerage company, cannot afford to offend." ”
Li Chihao smiled and replied domineeringly: "It's okay, if you encounter such a thing, you can contact me to solve it, especially the kind of rich second generation and official second generation, what I am best at is dealing with them!"
Looking at Li Chihao's casual tone and faintly revealed temperament, Li Xiuman was sure that the low-key actor in front of him must be a child from a big family.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuman also nodded and agreed, "Then there is no problem, about the two points you mentioned just now, I will explain it to them to pay special attention." ”
"By the way, there is one more thing I need to explain to Director Lee, in two days I will arrange for a person to enter S.M., hoping that after Red Velvet's debut, she can act as Joo-hyun's personal agent. ”
When Li Xiuman heard this request, he couldn't help but hesitate, after all, there was an agent who was not managed by the company, which would definitely affect the company's future plans.
Director Li rest assured, after arriving at the company, she is still managed by S.M., in fact, her main job is bodyguard, you also know that in this circle, there are always some beasts, and our family Zhuhyun is so beautiful, so we have to arrange it like this. ”
Although Li Xiuman knew that this agent was definitely not just a bodyguard, Li Chihao had already said it to this extent, and he could only reluctantly agree.
"Li Chihaoxi, there shouldn't be any other requirements now, right?" Obviously, arranging people to enter the company has touched his bottom line.
"Of course, when the time comes, just notify me when the contract is signed, and the specific contract will be in accordance with the regular rules of S.M. Company, and I believe that Director Li should not add some unreasonable terms. After speaking, Li Chihao stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Xiuman also stood up and asked a little strangely: "Is Bae Joo-hyun's contract also in charge of Li Chi-ho?"
Hearing Li Xiuman's question, Li Chihao suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I forgot to talk about the relationship with Zhu Hyun, I am Zhu Hyun's own uncle, I have been in the entertainment industry for a while, and I can be regarded as an insider, so her mother asked me to be in charge of the signing of the contract." ”
"I see, if you look closely, the facial features of the two are really a bit similar, and even the temperament is very similar. Li Xiuman replied with some surprise.
After Li Chihao heard this, he happily showed off and said: "Of course, how can I say that she was also brought up by me since she was a child, and her temperament is normal like me!"
