The next day, Qi Zimo, who had nothing to do, sweated well for a morning in his personal gym not far from home, and received a call from Representative Cui from ACUBE between breaks, saying that there was something important for him to make a decision. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qi Zimo, who had no arrangement, quickly agreed to go to ACUBE in the afternoon, and when he left the gym, he greeted the doorkeeper at the door as always, but the uncle "severely" accused him of not cherishing the fruits of his labor, and the number of times he came every week was too few and unstable, Qi Zimo humbly accepted two words of instruction before leaving.

Qi Zimo, who appeared at ACUBE at the appointed time, was flipping through some detailed information and work reports about ACUBE in the past three months handed to him by Representative Cui, of course, most of the thick stacks of reports were about APINK.

"Buzz." The mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrate, and Qi Zimo glanced at it casually, a little surprised that the other party would take the initiative to call him.

"BOSS!" The phone was connected, and there was a somewhat cold honorific title, and Qi Zimo raised his eyebrows without surprise.

"Jamie, didn't the boyfriend you just accept have a constructive opinion about your 'serious' style?"

"Maybe you were disappointed, but he didn't. Besides, this is my private matter, BOSS, you should grasp the scale. ”

Qi Zimo, who touched the gray nose, asked the purpose of the other party's call very interestingly.

"First of all, the flight of the Hwahan special effects operation team has taken off and will arrive in Seoul at noon tomorrow. The second thing is that the development of performance software for Asian companies is in the final stages, but the progress is slow due to some lack of data. However, we have reached out to Exxon Labs and are currently in discussions with the two sides on the price. ”

"OK, I see! Compared to the North American version, the development speed is a bit too fast, you have to carefully check the results of the testers, Asians value first impressions. ”

"BOSS, if you don't trust me, you can take back the rights in my hands, or you yourself can return to the United States to personally supervise the progress of the project. Qi Zimo's additional advice accidentally ignited Jamie's sensitive nerves, and his tone became even colder.

"AllRight! You're so much more reliable than Jack, I'm not going to get involved. ”

According to the previous communication habits of the two, they would now hang up the phone with each other tacitly, but Qi Zimo suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, Jamie. Can you tell me that the brand I wear in the U.S. has a chain store in Korea? Hmm...... I'm pretty comfortable in it. ”

Qi Zimo tried his best to find a reasonable reason to explain his request, but how could these little cover-ups hide Jamie, who had been in contact with him for more than five years, thinking of Qi Zimo's embarrassed expression of finding a reason to talk, Jamie couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The bold girl's laughter came from the earpiece, and Qi Zimo pursed the corners of his mouth with some embarrassment.

"Don't you need shoes, and underwear or something?"

Jamie's tone finally had the liveliness of a twenty-year-old girl.

"If you can, send it along. Qi Zi silently pretended to be confused and accepted Jamie's kindness.

"Send me your full address, and I'll do it for you. General, you just hide! If the top students of the Ivy League of Colleges and Universities knew that the operation they talked about was NEW_KING a beginner who couldn't even buy clothes, would they be surprised?"

didn't give him a chance to fight back, and Jamie, who had finished teasing Qi Zimo, hung up the phone very decisively.

It's not happy, but Jamie can be more active, which also makes Qi Zimo feel very gratified, after all, Jamie's indifferent personality is largely influenced by himself.

"Director, Yin Pumei is here, and Park Chulong is also here. Representative Cui walked into the silent office with two beautiful girls.

Qi Zimo did not communicate with the two APINK members first, but continued to read the remaining materials before raising his head and saying to Representative Cui beside him: "Representative Cui, we have communicated before, you can handle these things with full authority, and you don't need to hand them over to me." I'm an outsider, and getting involved will disrupt your plans. Judging by the reports, you guys are doing a great job. ”

The joy in Representative Cui's eyes flashed.

"Thank you to the directors for the compliments, these materials were given to the board of directors at the meeting. If you find it troublesome, just look at the last profit statement. ”

Qi Zimo pulled out the table at the bottom from the pile of paper, and a few simple figures directly reflected ACUBE's income and expenses in the past three months.

He was a little surprised when he browsed the last item of his own dividend amount, which was about to catch up with the total amount of ACUBE he had invested in at the beginning.

As one of the pillars of South Korea's economy, the profits of the entertainment industry are indeed quite objective.

"The earnings have been higher than I expected. ”

Representative Choi replied with a smile: "APINK works hard, and the notification fee on the Chinese side is much higher than that of South Korea, so the income is naturally higher." However, APINK's arrangements for the next few months are mainly in South Korea, and it will make a return to stabilize the market, and then continue to carry out overseas trips. ”

"Well, you can plan it. Is your income dead pay or is it shared?"

For people who can do things, Qi Zimo is never stingy.

Representative Cui looked at APINK and the two with some embarrassment, this kind of question is rarely asked in front of artists, after all, the income of the top management comes from the hard work of these artists.

In the end, Representative Cui replied truthfully: "The company will give me a corresponding share, thank you for your concern." ”

Qi Zimo didn't delve into it anymore, and instead asked, "What are you talking about?"

As he asked, the APINK duo, who had been trying to reduce their sense of self-existence, tensed up at the same time.

Especially Yin Pumei, with her head slightly lowered, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, and you can tell how nervous she is from the green tendons exposed on the back of her hands.

Representative Cui glanced at Yin Pumei without surprise and said: "APINK member Yin Pumei fell in love privately without notifying the company, and was photographed by a reporter from D Agency on a date, and sent it to us this morning to discuss the price. They ask for five million and don't negotiate. ”

Deputy Cui put the two printed photos in his hand in front of Qi Zimo.

The photo is clear, in a nice café, Yoon Pu-mi and a man are talking and laughing somewhat intimately, although she wears a hat and scarf, but the angle of the shot can clearly distinguish Yoon's trademark smiling face.

After Qi Zimo finished reading the photo, he glanced up at Yin Pumei, who was already nervous, and Yin Pumei, who was already nervous, suddenly became even more flustered, and her lower lips began to shake involuntarily.

Park Chulong, who was beside her, reached out and gently patted her back, which made Yin Pumei feel a little more relieved.

"Did Park Chulong XI also appear here for the same reason?" Qi Zimo pointed to Park Chulong, who was quietly comforting the team.

"Yes. Park Chulong nodded reflexively.

"D Society is amazing!"

Qi Zi didn't know a word of praise or disapproval, and no one dared to talk about it, and they knew very well that the director's love affair was also the first to be discovered by D Society.

"Photo or video, how much does it cost?"

Pu Chulong was a little confused, and he didn't understand what Qi Zimo meant.

"I said that the evidence that D company secretly filmed your relationship is a photo or a video, and how much do they ask to be willing not to expose it. Qi Zimo saw Park Chulong's confused cute look, and asked again with some amusement.

"I'm in love? I don't!"

Pu Chulong hurriedly stretched out two white and tender hands and raised them in front of his chest and swayed gently, in order to increase his persuasiveness, his little head also swayed quickly together.

"Director, you misunderstood! Park Chulong, as the captain, came here with Yin Pumei to solve the problem. Representative Cui stood up in time to explain, and then handed Qi Zimo an A4 piece of paper.

At the same time, Pu Chulong couldn't help but wrinkle his small nose and rolled his eyes at Qi Zimo, indicating his attitude.

Yin Pumei next to her greatly relieved her tension because of this episode, Qi Zimo may not understand the meaning of Park Chulong's body movements, but she knows that the team is subconsciously coquettish to the people close to her, she glanced at her captain a little speechlessly, and said in her heart: "Ernie, you think I did your ulterior in the name of supporting the field, I am almost in a hurry, and you are still eye-to-eye." ”

Yin Pumei suddenly felt that the world had deep malice towards her.

Qi Zimo swept the contents of the A4 paper with ten lines at a glance, turned his head and said to Representative Cui: "I know your suggestion! You go get busy first, and I'll talk to them." ”

Before leaving, Representative Cui still said uneasily: "Director, please don't treat this matter as a trivial matter, but from the perspective of the company's interests, the outcome of this matter is likely to affect the entire APINK." ”

CUBE has a five-year ban on its artists throughout the company, and APINK member Yoon Pu-mi knowingly committed it, and he didn't tell the company anything about the relationship. Unless the relevant media abides by the industry rules and informs them in advance, the relationship may be directly exposed, which will deal a devastating blow to the rapid development of APINK. Therefore, it is recommended to order APINK member Yin Pumei to deal with personal emotional problems immediately, resume singleness, and not bring hidden dangers to the development of the team. In addition to this, internal company penalties are unavoidable. ”

Representative Choi's attitude before leaving indicated that this suggestion was, to put it bluntly, the final result of the company's disposal, and Qi Zimo could only lament the cruelty of competition in the Korean entertainment industry.

"Tell us what you think. ”

Yin Pumei, who was extremely nervous, was frightened by the director's cold questioning, and the first moment he reacted, he opened his mouth and replied: "I... I cherish this opportunity to get along with each other and hope that the company can support me. ”

Although he stuttered a little, he finally said it completely with his inner insistence, and the moment he finished speaking, Yin Pumei instantly felt a lot more relaxed. But the next sentence of the council member completely confused her.

"Even if you quit the team, why don't you hesitate?"

"Director!"

The reaction was Park Chulong, who was watching from the sidelines, and Yoon Pu-mi was already frightened, his eyes were wide open, and he looked ahead in disbelief.

Qi Zimo stretched out his hand with a serious face to stop Park Chulong.

Park Chulong closed her mouth in annoyance and grabbed Yoon Pu-mi's hand tightly to give her the greatest support.

But this insignificant comfort can only be in vain under Qi Zi's silent questioning.

Yin Pumei's brain was blank for a short time before she became a little conscious, she didn't expect that the company would not bargain at all, and directly forced her to make a choice.

Qi Zi Momu had a battle between heaven and man that disturbed her, and her eyes calmly waited for the final answer.

The silent office is like a small cage, Yin Pumei, who is roasted by the only beam of light obliquely shining in from the window, feels hot all over, sweat is pouring on her forehead and palms, the air seems to be stagnant, and she is a little breathless, and the biggest pressure is still from the cold judge in front of her who can judge her "life and death" in one word.

Yin Pumei tightened her fists unnaturally, her long nails almost carved into her palms, and finally took a deep breath to reopen her eyes, and she made a decision.

"Governor, I ......"

"What do you other members mean?"

God forbid, Yin Pumei luckily dragged it until Qi Zimo was impatient, and turned to ask about Park Chulong.

Park Chulong was startled, but immediately replied without thinking: "We unanimously hope that the company can understand and support Pumei." ”

Qi Zimo nodded after hearing this, thought for a moment, and no longer cared about Yin Pumei's answer, as if it didn't matter.

"The company is now divided into three or seven with you. You pay 1.5 million for this photo, and the remaining seventy percent of the company is responsible, you can go out and find Representative Cui. ”

"Huh?"

Park Chulong and Yin Pumei didn't react at all, they were still making a "life-and-death decision" a few minutes ago, and now they are done with just a fine of money?

The ups and downs of life come too quickly.

Qi Zimo sorted out the thick stack of materials a little and placed them neatly on the right side of the table. GOT UP AND GRABBED MY COAT AND WALKED OUT, MY EYES SWEEPING OVER THE STILL PETRIFIED APINK DUO.

"Why, you still want to take the photo back as a souvenir?"

Yin Pumei hurriedly shook her head wildly: "No, no, no, it's just... Director, why are you so kind... Leave me alone. ”

"Because I don't expect anything from you, and Representative Choi is the opposite. ”

Yin Pumei's excitement for the rest of her life after the catastrophe was shattered by this understatement, and she stared at the departing figure of the director in a daze, although she knew that this was the truth from Qi Zimo's point of view, but she was inexplicably sad.

Some unclear fragments flashed in Yin Pumei's chaotic consciousness, and she suddenly remembered the reason for her sadness, and turned around to comfort her good Ernie, but found that the Ernie behind her who had a high sense of existence had long since disappeared.

"Did you not intend to pursue Pu Mei in the first place?"

Qi Zimo's attitude changed too quickly, so that Park Chulong had to suspect that he was playing tricks from beginning to end to achieve the purpose of warning all the members of APINK, so Park Squad rushed from the office to the hall on the first floor to ask the reason.

"If she doesn't insist, there will be only one result, as for what the result is, I think Representative Cui is very willing to answer you. ”

Qi Zimo's words are not direct but very clear, if Yin Pumei has a tendency to compromise, then Representative Cui will directly follow the company's usual policy to resolve the matter.

Park Chulong stared at his dark and deep eyes, it seemed that nothing could break the peace there, I wonder if the notoriously stubborn and old-fashioned senior in the circle had ever made the owner with these eyes appear emotions other than peace?

"Thank you. ”

"This should be replaced with sorry, and the object should also be replaced by Representative Cui who is still waiting for the "bad news" upstairs, after all, he expects a lot from you. ”

Listening to similar words for the second time, Park Chulong's receptivity was much stronger, and a smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth.

"You don't have to deliberately put yourself aside, too many times will make people suspicious. If it's me... If the other members of us fall in love in private, will the punishment be the same?"

An unknown philosopher once said that a woman is stupid when she is stupid and smart when she is smart. Qi Zimo didn't care too much about Pu Chulong's outspoken words after a flash of inspiration, but he found it a lot more interesting, after all, he didn't want to play the piano to the cow in his original intention.

"The five of them may be like that, but you're certainly different. ”

Reason told Park Chulong that what Qi Zimo said was definitely not what he thought, but the fluttering heart still showed the trace of expectation in his heart.

"What's the difference?"

After Pu Chulong asked, he suddenly felt that his lips were a little dry, and he subconsciously licked his lips with his little tongue.

"The difference is that you're the captain. ”

The slight curvature of the corners of Qi Zimo's mouth at this time was extremely hateful in Pu Chulong's eyes.

"The captain takes the lead in violating the company's articles of association, and the punishment is definitely different! They are responsible, so the captain is responsible, what do you think! The photo about your relationship should be charged by the D agency, at least twice! You will have to pay about five million at a time, so do a good job, Team Park! When five million is a fraction for you, you can let the company unconditionally support you in love. ”

Qi Zimo encouraged the girl in front of him who was a head away from him with his "sincere" eyes, and the unwitting people passing by around him cast appreciative glances at Qi Zimo's approachable performance.

"Five million will probably always be a lot of money for me. ”

After a short thought, Park replied as she brushed the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears with both hands, revealing her delicate little ears.

"But the man I love must not care about those five million, especially for me, don't you think?"

Pu Chulong's words were a little light, but each word landed and reached the ears of those who should listen to it.

A shocked expression flashed across Qi Zimo's face, and then returned to that cold appearance.

"Then I wish you to find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible. And although I don't care about etiquette, don't forget what you should be called as a Korean artist. ”

Pu Chulong obediently folded his hands in front of him and bowed ninety degrees to Qi Zimo: "Good director." ”

Qi Zimo frowned slightly, nodded casually, and walked away.

Bent over, Pu Chulong's eyes kept staring at his shiny leather shoes, and only when Qi Zimo walked away did he slowly stand up, cover his mouth playfully and laugh, and after a few minutes, he suddenly remembered that poor Yin Pumei was still upstairs, raised his hand and patted his head in annoyance, and hurriedly got into the elevator that just reached the first floor.
