At the beginning, when she heard Li Xiuman's words, Zheng Xiuyan, who was sitting opposite him, was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, she realized what Li Xiuman's "going home" meant in these words.

In an instant, a look of absurdity loomed.

She lowered her head, took a sip of the tea in the cup, thought about it, and then raised her face and said to Li Xiuman as if confirmed: "If I understand correctly, what do you mean by this...... Do you want me to come back to SM?"

"Yes, that's right. ”

Li Xiuman's reaction was also quite straightforward, nodding his head directly, and after he finished looking at Zheng Xiuyan's expression, he said, "I know you think my suggestion is very inappropriate." However, in this circle, there are too many things that don't seem like words. Are there still few examples of betrayal, breakup, and then reconciliation? This circle is inherently impersonal, so we shouldn't pay attention to any human feelings. Everything, or how to be beneficial to yourself, how to come. ”

The smile on Zheng Xiuyan's lips seemed to be getting richer, she looked at Li Xiuman, who was picking up the teacup again, and asked casually, "So, do you think that my return to SM is the most beneficial choice for me?"

Isn't there a saying? What is lost and found tends to be cherished more. When you come back, you'll get what you deserve. ”

"However, isn't SM's creed of managing artists never bow down to artists and admit their mistakes?" The smile on Zheng Xiuyan's face was more sarcastic, "'The company is always right, and the wrong will only be the artist', I have heard similar words more than once before." I was kicked out, and now I am recruited back by the company, does the company admit that it made mistakes?"

"It's okay to admit mistakes. ”

Li Xiuman gave an answer that surprised Zheng Xiuyan a little.

"The trend is always changing, and the interests are always right. If the company can gain greater benefits by admitting its mistakes, then it is nothing to admit it. ”

Zheng Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and chuckled: "I have to say, your words really gave me a new understanding of you and SM." ”

"At this point, is it necessary for us to hypocritically say anything about our feelings? Just be blunt and talk only about interests. ”

Li Xiuman drank tea calmly, "Your recent achievements have proved your worth, so relatively, the company naturally has the idea of recruiting you back." This is a normal thing. ”

"But with my grades," Zheng Xiuyan's eyes looked very clear, and there was a faint hint of seeing through something, "It shouldn't be enough to let the company slap itself, right?

"The bigger purpose, of course, is to crack down on LEON Entertainment. ”

Li Xiuman didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "You also know that the company has been bitten hard by Han Yu recently. ”

"So you're asking me out now?"

"That's right. ”

"Then I refuse. ”

Li Xiuman was not surprised by this answer, but just took the teacup, raised his eyelids to look at Zheng Xiuyan, and asked, "What is the reason?"

"First of all, I don't like your analogy very much. Compared to OPPA's approach, I feel that SM is more like the one that intends to bite. ”

Li Xiuman laughed, but the smile on his face was a little cold, and he then asked, "Then what?"

"Secondly, I don't have any reason to accept SM's solicitation, and I have no reason to leave LEON Entertainment. Even if I do want to leave LEON Entertainment, there is no reason for me to enter SM. You know why, don't you? I'm sick of this company called 'SM'. ”

"But," Li Xiuman suddenly interrupted, "shouldn't the object you hate more than the company?"

Suddenly, Zheng Xiuyan, who heard this, couldn't help frowning and fell silent.

"Isn't it?"

Li Xiuman looked at Zheng Xiuyan, who didn't speak, with a smile, "Compared to the company that didn't have a good relationship in the first place, the original incident that hit you harder should be the betrayal of your teammates, right?"

As he spoke, Li Xiuman raised his hand to push his glasses, picked up his chopsticks again, and picked out the dishes that were still on the table.

"They know everything beforehand, but they don't tell you anything, and no one talks to you. Even before they officially tell you the news, you think they're best friends, right? It's like a flame that's still burning, and all of a sudden it falls into the icy water. It's not good to feel like everything goes out in an instant, right? You don't want to be in the same company as them, do you?"

"Even if it'......"

Zheng Xiuyan suddenly spoke, she raised her head to meet Li Xiuman's gaze, and said with a serious face: "Even if this is the case, I still have no reason to return to SM, and I still have no reason to leave LEON Entertainment." ”

"If you don't like it, why do you force yourself to get along with them?"

"Because I hate them at best, but I don't even want to go to the street near the SM headquarters building right now. The closer I get to you, the harder I feel my breathing, as if the air is filled with a foul stench. There were only eight of them, but I hated you, basically everybody in that building. In contrast, of course, I chose the side with fewer people, at least in LEON Entertainment, I don't need to meet them every day. ”

Perhaps it was the first time to hear Zheng Xiuyan say such cold and sarcastic words, Li Xiuman held chopsticks in her hand and looked at her slightly stunned, but when she came back to her senses, she shook her head and laughed.

"I really didn't expect you to be so angry with the company. You're half of the responsibility for that incident, right?"

"It's been so long, and I don't bother to mention it again. ”

Zheng Xiuyan began to cool down, and the cold temperament that usually appeared in front of people emanated silently, making her appearance at this time look like a kaolin flower that was independent in the world, unapproachable.

"If you have asked me out today just to tell me these things, then I am here again to give you a formal reply - I refuse. So now, I'll take my leave. Also, I hope you don't contact me again in the future. After all, as you said at the beginning, my fate with the company has been exhausted. ”

Jung so-yeon picked up her bag and stood up.

"Aren't you going to listen to my terms first?"

"Forget it, to be honest, I'm not the same kind of person as you. You like interests, but I care more about my feelings. ”

"Really? So...... Don't you want to get revenge?"

The voice from behind her did not stop Zheng Xiuyan from putting on her shoes, and she replied in a low voice almost without changing her face: "How can you take revenge? In order to deal with a few people you hate, to help another group of people you hate even more, and by the way, you also betrayed the people you love, do you call this revenge?"

"Oh, beloved?"

Li Xiuman's laughter was obviously disdainful, and seeing that Zheng Xiuyan was about to push the door out, he immediately said: "Who said that I asked you to take revenge on Girls' Generation? I think the object of your revenge is actually ...... Should it be LEON Entertainment, or rather, someone you love?"

This time, he managed to get Jung so-yeon to stop.

Zheng Xiuyan looked back at him, and for the first time used a not very polite plain language: "You, is there something wrong?"

Li Xiuman, who was still sitting in the same place, was stunned for a moment, and then he faced Zheng Xiuyan's seemingly real expression with a faint doubt, and laughed again, but this time the smile also contained a lot of anger.

"Do you know that the person you love is not necessarily as beautiful as you think. It's like Taeyeon and them, you think they're good friends and sisters with you, but in reality?"

Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help frowning again, "If you want to say something that he doesn't necessarily like my, forget it." I don't want to hear it, and I don't bother to listen to it. ”

It can be heard that she has little patience anymore, and even swear words are rarely spoken.

"If you don't listen to what I'm going to say, you'll probably regret it very much. ”

Zheng Xiuyan no longer paid attention to Li Xiuman, turned around and was about to open the door of the box.

"Do you know that the man who kicked you out of girlhood in the first place...... It's the person you call loved. ”

Jung so-yeon smiled and stretched out her hand.

"Haven't you heard? Before last year, all our rights about your girlhood were still in that person's hands. So...... At that point, the company simply doesn't have the right to kick you out of girlhood. ”

In an instant, the door was slammed.

Zheng Xiuyan turned her head silently, and the look on her face was unprecedentedly cold.

Seeing her staring at herself without saying a word, Li Xiuman, who was holding a teacup, shook his head, and there was no lack of coldness and sarcasm in his smile.

"Have you never wondered why the company would suddenly make such a drastic disposition? You know, although your original behavior touched the company's bottom line, it will not let us directly kick you out of Girlhood. This is simply not in line with what we have done in the past. To put it bluntly, what good do us do to kick you out? Why should we harm ourselves? Won't we calculate the difference between a complete girlhood and a girlhood without a person?"

Li Xiuman raised a finger at Zheng Xiuyan, whose face slowly turned pale, and grinned: "There is only one real reason...... The person who kicked you out was not us, it was that person, the man named Han Yu. ”

The answer of "this is impossible" wanted to blurt out angrily, but when the words came to her mouth, Zheng Xiuyan was stunned uncontrollably.

Because, at this moment, a face that flashed in her mind was very familiar to her.

The eyebrows and eyes of this face were full of indifference, but they also made her feel extremely familiar, but "he" was not actually that person.

"He" has another name, "Richard".

If it's another him......

Is this still impossible?
