Episode 136: A temptation to derail

The trainees and staff of S.M. all felt that what appeared in front of them must be hallucinations, and they actually saw Li Xiuman, who had fled abroad more than a year ago, in the cafeteria, and they walked into the cafeteria with Zheng Xiyi all the way to talk and laugh! What is the situation? Is the embezzlement case of Teacher Li Xiuman over?

"Uncle Man rarely came to the cafeteria before, and I couldn't believe their eyes when I saw the trainees in the company. Zheng Xiyi's goal was achieved, and the title of Li Xiuman was changed to the cordial Uncle Man.

Li Xiuman naturally doesn't care about Zheng Xiyi's face turning like a book, in fact, he appreciates Zheng Xiyi even more for being so shameless. People who don't know when to be indifferent, when to be cordial, and who can switch between these two attitudes at any time are impossible to become upper-class people, and even Li Xiuman still has a faint regret in his heart, his two sons are much worse than Zheng Xiyi. This means that he is not very familiar with Chinese culture, otherwise he would have to sigh: Giving birth to a son should be like Zheng Xiyi.

"Hahahaha, Xiyi, you're wrong, I used to come to the cafeteria to eat when I was in the company. I don't have any requirements for eating, as long as I can fill my stomach, so as long as I am at noon, I will come to the canteen to eat. These kids probably haven't seen me for a long time, so they're acting a little rude. ”

As soon as he said these words to Zheng Xiyi with a smile, Li Xiuman turned to the trainees and staff standing against the wall on both sides, and his face immediately darkened, "Is the company's etiquette education so lax now? Or have you forgotten the lessons you learned from the past because I haven't been to the company for too long?"

Only then did everyone in the cafeteria come back to their senses, bowed at 90 degrees in unison, and the loud greetings were uniform, "Anihasse, Teacher Li Xiuman (Director) NIM, Senior Zheng Xiyi." ”

Li Xiuman snorted softly, all the people didn't dare to raise their heads and continued to maintain a salute posture, and even their breathing was much lighter, and for a while, only Li Xiuman, Zheng Xiyi and Lin Xiyin stood upright in the entire canteen.

"Hehe, Uncle Man, you are really a hero, and the sword is still young, and S.M will definitely climb to new heights under your leadership. ”

The corners of Li Xiuman's mouth twitched, he could naturally hear that Zheng Xiyi was sarcastic about him, but he had long passed the age of competing for the benefit of his tongue, so he was cheeky and only thought that Zheng Xiyi was complimenting him, "Hahahaha, I hope to accept your good words from Xiyi." Come, let's go here, there is a private room in the company's canteen for me, let's go there to eat and talk. ”

When Li Xiuman's figure disappeared into the box, everyone in the cafeteria let out a long breath, and there was a buzzing discussion in the canteen that was still quiet just now, and some people quietly slipped out of the cafeteria and ran to the women's practice room on the basement floor.

In the practice room, although the music was still playing and the trainees were still dancing, they knew that they were all absent-minded, and the corners of their eyes drifted to the corner of the door from time to time when they were making movements. There were two thin girls kneeling against the wall, their hands raised high, and all the parts above the knees in the face were close to the wall, it was Zheng Xiuyan and Lin Yun'er.

Cui Shengyuan sat a step away from Lin Yun'er, leaning on the back of the chair and squinting at the dance of the female trainees. The 34-year-old director of S.M. was born in a distant side branch of the SK Choi family, and because of his good ability, he is considered a middle-class asset in his generation, and he has a little relationship with his own family, so although he did not join the SK Group, he was also assigned this position that looks inconspicuous but is actually considered a poor beauty.

CUI SHENGYUAN LIKES BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, BUT HE IS DEFINITELY NOT A LOLICON, ALTHOUGH ZHENG XIUYAN AND LIN YUNA ARE SMALL AND GOOD, THEY ARE STILL TOO YOUNG FOR HIM TO BE REGARDED AS A RICH THIRD GENERATION. Although his eyes were full of the slender dancing postures of the female trainees, he actually didn't have any unbearable thoughts in his head, although it seemed that he was sitting here and forcing him to become a prostitute, but in his real heart, Cui Shengyuan kept thinking about his every step of his plan.

He already knew the reason and reason for making such a big deal about a small unspoken rule of drinking when he received the order, and he was used to hearing the grievances of his own wealthy family, and he was naturally no stranger to this kind of company infighting, but the source of this order was not the usual cousin of the Zong family who had been with his classmates for four years, but was directly passed down from a higher level, which had to make him a little more careful.

Choi Seung-won has never been in contact with Lee so-man, and he has only been a director representative at S.M for only one year, but this does not mean that he does not know Lee so-man. The person who can climb up in the more than a dozen side lines of the Cui family is by no means an embroidered pillow, since he was a child, he knows that he is cautious and thinks more, and he can only do more to get out of the crowd, and naturally he will not underestimate Li Xiuman, who started from scratch but created the largest brokerage company in South Korea, and has collected a lot of information about Li Xiuman early on, and carefully analyzed Li Xiuman's style of acting through records and rumors within the company.

Although he was ordered to test Li Xiuman's depth this time, Cui Shengyuan still thought very carefully for two days and one night, until he felt that the plan was very perfect, and no matter how Li Xiuman dealt with it, he could get enough information to communicate, so he started to act.

Choosing Zheng Xiuyan to make it difficult was not Choi Seung-won's random goal. Although there are many female artists in the company who have debuted, they are basically in a situation where they are not popular or even hidden, and there is no one other than Bao'er who can make Li Xiuman have to make a move. But Bao'er is far away in Japan, and S.M is now in a stormy stage, relying on Bao'er alone to support the company's income, if Bao'er does it, without Li Xiuman's action, the company's other directors will not agree, Cui Shengyuan studied the information of the trainees in the company all day, and then singled out Zheng Xiuyan.

Zheng Xiuyan is currently one of the seniors with the longest qualifications among the company's trainees, the male trainees are headed by Park Jung-so, and the female trainees are headed by Zheng Xiuyan, although there are a few with Zheng Xiuyan's qualifications, but Zheng Xiuyan is obviously the most prominent in terms of potential. Such a good seedling, and at the same time very close to debuting artists such as Baoer and TVXQ, and has the status of the eldest sister among the trainees, even if Li Xiuman has not considered investing resources in the girl group in recent years, he will not let Cui Shengyuan take it at will.

As long as Li Xiuman intervenes, Cui Shengyuan will successfully complete the task assigned by the Zong family, because the requirements of the task are only for him to test how much power Li Xiuman can mobilize within S.M now. If Li Xiuman is really ruthless and ignores his own temptations, Cui Shengyuan naturally won't care if he ruins Zheng Xiuyan's future, as a child of a chaebol family, it's not a matter of playing a few artists at all, not to mention a small trainee, and then let out some rumors in the company afterwards to hit Li Xiuman's reputation, then even if he overfulfilled the task, I believe that my cousin will never treat him badly.

Thinking of this, Cui Shengyuan's heart suddenly became hot, and he turned his head to look at the side faces of Zheng Xiuyan and Lin Yun'er who were kneeling beside him. The two of them had been kneeling for more than two hours, and they were already crumbling, and they could only lie on the wall and borrow some strength to barely control their bodies and not slip on the floor.

"Well, although it's still a little girl who hasn't grown, it's good to change the taste occasionally and taste the taste of a young girl. Although this Lin Yun'er doesn't look like a few taels of meat, this face and eyes are pure and lovely, and they can be regarded as having a different flavor. ”

Cui Shengyuan pulled Lin Yuna into the plan only temporarily, who asked her to look at herself with that kind of hatred when she physically punished Zheng Xiuyan, now that I think about it, it is also good, a little girl can't stand herself in the prime of life.

Just as Cui Shengyuan was fantasizing about a three-worldly scenario of five hundred, two thousand, the door of the practice room was pushed open forcefully, and his secretary Zhang Jingyuan ran in with a little panic.

"Hmm, what's going on, what do you look like in a panic? Is this how you usually go out to do things for me?" Cui Shengyuan, who was interrupted from his sweet dream, scolded his secretary with a straight face.

Zhang Jingyuan hastily apologized, walked over quickly and whispered in Cui Shengyuan's ear: "Director NIM, someone came to tell me just now that Li Xiuman appeared in the company's canteen. ”

Cui Shengyuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was already overflowing, "Is this worth your panic? This is S.M, he is Li Xiuman, it is normal to appear in any corner of the company." Huh, you say the cafeteria?"

Cui Shengyuan reacted, unconsciously raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, "How can it be a cafeteria?" Are you sure the news is correct?"

Zhang Jingyuan shook his head, "It's not Li Xiuman who is alone in the cafeteria, I heard that Zheng Xiyi is with him, and the two of them have talked and laughed together in the box." ”

"Zheng Xiyi?"

Cui Shengyuan's fingers rubbed his eyebrows a few points faster, and he had expected Li Xiuman to meet everyone when he returned to the company, but he didn't count it as Zheng Xiyi. Cui Shengyuan didn't know that Li Xiuman pushed the council to sign Zheng Xiyi, and even gave unimaginable preferential conditions such as a Jeoncheng contract, but he didn't expect that the relationship between Li Xiuman and Zheng Xiyi would be so close. Cui Shengyuan supported Li Xiuman that time, because he knew that signing Zheng Xiyi played a pivotal role in S.M's expansion to the film and television industry, although he stood in a different camp with Li Xiuman because of the family behind him, but on how to be more beneficial to the company and how to earn greater benefits, Cui Shengyuan still has a common position with Li Xiuman, and the struggle is a struggle, but the bowl of S.M cannot be smashed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cui Shengyuan, who couldn't figure out what the situation was like when Li Xiuman came back, ran to find Zheng Xiyi, and suddenly felt that the development of things had a faint sign of getting out of the plan, and subconsciously asked: "Is there a way to know what they said?"

Zhang Jingyuan was speechless in his heart, but he still said respectfully: "Director NIM, there is no way to know this for the time being." However, I heard that Li Xiuman came to the company half an hour ago, and as soon as he came, he went up to the fourth floor and went to TVXQ's practice room, and Zheng Xiyi was with him when he came out. ”

Cui Shengyuan's fingers were about to break the skin of his eyebrows, he felt more and more that the development of the whole thing was going off the rails, and the uneasy premonition in his heart made him a little nameless, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, "I heard all the news, and I only know what happened half an hour ago now, do you think you are still qualified for this job?"

Zhang Jingyuan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly bowed more than ninety degrees and bent down, apologizing without saying a word. Cui Shengyuan glanced at him, feeling a little more comfortable, because Zhang Jingyuan did not defend or apologize, but only used his actions to show that he realized his mistakes, which is the way smart people do.

Zhang Jingyuan was assigned by Cui Shengyuan to stand guard outside the practice room, first, to see the situation outside, someone can come in in advance to report, and secondly, through some staff and trainees who rely on their own staff and trainees to obtain the situation in the company, know the wind and grass in the company. Cui Shengyuan was actually just an unreasonable accusation of anger just now, but Zhang Jingyuan silently admitted this black cauldron, which made Cui Shengyuan vent his nameless fire, and it is naturally impossible for such an informed, interesting and understanding secretary to be incompetent for this job.

Cui Shengyuan just wanted to say two good words to appease Zhang Jingyuan, but the mobile phone in Zhang Jingyuan's pocket rang, but it was Cui Shengyuan's work mobile phone, which was usually placed in Zhang Jingyuan's pocket, and the call would only be answered by Cui Shengyuan if it was necessary after he filtered it.

"Alright, get up, and see what news is coming. ”

Zhang Jingyuan straightened up and took out his mobile phone, glanced at the screen, and the expression on his face was suddenly stunned. Cui Shengyuan waited, and when he saw that he didn't hand the phone to him for a long time, he couldn't help but feel angry again, "What's going on? What is the news?"

Zhang Jingyuan woke up and hurriedly handed the mobile phone to Cui Shengyuan, Cui Shengyuan couldn't help but become the same sluggish when he looked at the short message on the screen.
