"What do you want to ask me, do you have to have an interview?" When he saw an acquaintance appear in front of him, Jin Zhongming couldn't help but yawn.

"Sorry oppa, bothering you so late. Taeyeon chuckled, then bowed politely before taking the seat opposite.

Kim Taeyeon's appearance is a little more elegant than the feeling of always being timid and cautious in the past, which makes Kim Jong-myeong's heart move slightly.

Of course, it's just a slight movement, and it's more sleepy, he's been busy these days, not to mention that he was called out of the bed by the other party this time.

In this way, on a summer evening, I was irritable, Kim Taeyeon and Kim Jong-myung actually appeared together in a bar in Gangnam, this kind of news, I think it is destined to become a popular search on SNS, and I am afraid that there will be no shortage of conjectures, but what really happened between them, I am afraid that only the parties know.

"There's something I'd like to ask about oppa. After sitting down, Taeyeon still seemed crisp and sharp in her words, which surprised Kim Jong-myeong.

"You say. ”

"I heard that someone in EXO is leaving the team?"

"Taeyeon. Jin Zhongming's head immediately grew bigger, and then he forced a smile. "When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no friends...... Have you ever heard of this sentence? The so-called world is nothing, so why should you bother yourself?"

"Is that true?" Taeyeon asked earnestly.

"Hey. Jin Zhongming nodded helplessly. "Captain Wu of exo, in fact, people have long had the intention of leaving, and this time I saw that your company seemed to be a little too busy to take care of himself, so he stayed in China and didn't plan to come back, and your company didn't want to be sideways at this time due to the current situation...... As for me, because I had an exchange with him a long time ago, I was the first to speak, so I helped him say hello to your company. ”

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Jin Zhongming continued to shake his head, and then continued. "And there are some things I don't hide from you, the Canadian facial paralysis surnamed Wu is the first thing I have to say, so I just bear it, but I don't take the blame for the other Chinese and Chinese artists in the exo. ”

"Are they going to go too?" Taeyeon frowned slightly.

"Presumably, maybe there are some left. Jin Zhongming replied disapprehantly. "But it's more likely, who makes the Chinese market thriving? There's no reason to stop people from making money, right? And ...... It's none of my business anyway. ”

"I see. Taeyeon nodded thoughtfully. "What about oppa, what's going on with our company being audited this time? Everyone said that it was because Krystal and the new song they were going to release next month had something to do with the Sewol, and then it made some big names unhappy...... Is that so?"

"Yes, that's it. "Even said that Brigade Wu left the company, so Jin Zhongming has nothing to hide when he asks himself. It was said that it was delivered directly to the president's desk and attracted the president's attention. Then specifically, it was the chief civil affairs secretary of the Blue House, Yu Zhiyu, who was in charge of handling this matter, he was a prosecutor, and he was a typical legal ruffian, and his methods were relatively black. In fact, this tax audit is also deliberately hanging on your company, and then depending on the performance of your company, you will decide how much effort to use later...... Aside from the stance, this is actually quite a good method. ”

"Well," Taeyeon continued. "Oppa, do you think our company will bow down?"

"No!" Jin Zhongming shook his head repeatedly. "At least I don't think so. Not to mention that the big people behind your company are not allowed to bow their heads easily, let's just say that in the current situation, this performance of your company doesn't look like a feeling of really bowing your head...... If you are really ready to bow your head, how can you let all kinds of rumors fly all over the place? It is long overdue to clean up the situation. Looking at it like this, your company should be gritting its teeth and going to make the next board. ”

Taeyeon nodded dryly again.

"Anything else?" Jin Zhongming couldn't help but yawn again, and then reached out to urge. "What else do you want to ask, let's get it as soon as possible, I'm too sleepy. ”

"It's gone. Taeyeon replied dryly. "I'm just curious about these things...... For this little thing, I made a special appointment with OPPA at night, I'm really sorry, I'll go back first. ”

Jin Zhongming looked at each other strangely, and then nodded casually.

Taeyeon immediately got up, saluted again, and then picked up her satchel and turned to leave, the action was as crisp as it was, and it was very different from the style of painting on weekdays.

"Wait a minute!" Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned, and then suddenly opened his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Kim Taeyeon just left on her own as if she hadn't heard how noisy the bar was.

"Come back!" Jin Zhongming raised his voice slightly.

However, Kim Taeyeon still did not respond, but vaguely accelerated the frequency of her steps.

"Kim Taeyeon, you come back for me!" Impatiently, Kim Jong-ming simply shouted out directly.

At this moment, Kim Taeyeon finally stopped...... In fact, most of the people in the bar had already paid a little attention to these two people, and at this moment, Kim Jong-myung roared out, and almost the entire bar fell silent, and Taeyeon immediately had no room to dodge.

"Come back. Jin Zhongming beckoned to the other party. "I have something to ask you. ”

This sentence was like a signal light, and immediately the bar became lively again, and the atmosphere was even more inexplicably higher than before, and Taeyeon finally sat back honestly.

"Is your company asking you to do something?" After the two sat down facing each other again, Jin Zhongming began to make it clear.

Taeyeon bowed her head and said nothing.

"It seems so. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "If I didn't know your character, I would have thought you were a scheming, deliberately ran over to leak the news, and then asked me for help...... Let's not talk about that, what kind of operation is it?"

"Scandal. Taeyeon bowed her head. "Me and Exo's Baekhyun. ”

"Oh. Jin Zhongming's face was stunned. "It's also a strong combination, Shaoshi and EXO are the two most valuable combinations in your company at the moment, and you and Bian Boxian are also the most valuable members of the obedient people in their respective groups...... As soon as this scandal comes out, the contract renewal negotiations and exo members staying in China and not returning are estimated to be able to cover up the past, and even the tax audit may have a little cover up and impact...... It's just, don't you feel aggrieved?"

"Actually, oppa, I don't think this matter is very difficult, artist. The reason why I came to ask you about those things was just because the president mentioned a few more words when he told me about the scandal, and then I was a little surprised...... are two different things. ”

"Perhaps. Kim Jong Ming was noncommittal. "You have a good relationship with Bian Boxian?"

"It's fine. ”

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

"They're all adults, what's there to be embarrassed about? Maybe you can still fake it...... I do think he's pretty good. ”

"Your fans are going to crash for sure. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "Sister and brother, the little white face ...... exo"

"In their eyes, we should all never marry or fall in love for the rest of our lives, and then keep our eighteen-year-old faces unchanged for the rest of our lives......"

"You know I didn't mean that. Jin Zhongming continued to shake his head. "I want to emphasize that your fans will be especially angry about this relationship because of your current status when you were younger, because it will make them lose their high profile towards exo fans, and exo fans will have a natural sense of hatred because of female fans. And with all due respect, it is unlikely that you and Bian Boxian will be able to do it after all, if you have the mentality of 'fake drama and real work', it will only make everyone more stimulated...... This scandal seems to be a farce to cause disputes between fans on both sides. ”

"Isn't that what we need?" Taeyeon suddenly looked up and asked.

"It's what your company needs, not what you need. Jin Zhongming sighed helplessly. "You can't always think about others, you have to think about yourself, you will only get yourself into all kinds of trouble...... Or did Kim Young-min give you some other promise?"

Taeyeon was silent again.

"That's right. Jin Zhongming also reacted. "At the threshold of contract renewal negotiations...... At this time, accepting the company's obvious promises will make other members have ideas, but on the other hand, Taeyeon, will you accept the company's arrangement so casually, will some teammates think that you have accepted some promises that you shouldn't accept?"

"It's not necessarily a bad thing that they misunderstand. ”

That's interesting. Jin Zhongming raised his eyebrows. "Sounds like you're holding a grudge against someone?"

"Nothing!" Taeyeon quickly explained, then lowered her voice again. Or ...... It's not that I have a grudge against someone, but I feel a little uneasy about the current anxious state. ”

"What's uneasy?" asked Jin Zhongming disapprovingly. "Talking about business, it's a matter of your own interests, the price you put out is a little lower, the price I put forward is a little higher, there has to be a process of discussion. ”

"But we only have one choice, right?" Taeyeon replied helplessly. "If we really can't talk about it, can we go somewhere else now? To put it bluntly, we can only sell to this one, why drag the members who don't have many ideas to fight with the company?"

This is also a bit crooked. Jin Zhongming sneered. "But Taeyeon, are you mistaken...... With me here, do you dare not buy it?! This deal has already been decided from the beginning!"

Taeyeon was silent for a moment before she spoke again, "Some things may not be necessary, right? It's like this time, according to what you said, a big man like the chief civil secretary of the Blue House directly attacked, and the means were so ruthless...... But doesn't the company dare to stand still? It's not just because of the company's backstage, right?"

"You're right. Jin Zhongming continued to laugh. "I easily look down on a few people in the Korean entertainment industry, but your teacher Li Xiuman is indeed an exception, this person has a strong pragmatism and excessiveness, but sometimes he can do a little idealistic thing...... It's like this time, if he hadn't set the tone for the company so early, where would your company have been able to hold on?"

"Then what is Teacher Li Xiuman for?"

"What's there to pursue here?" replied Kim Jong-ming disappreciatively. "Maybe it's because of that little bit of social conscience that has long been exhausted; maybe it's because of the reason you told me before, he is overflowing with sympathy because of his wife's illness; maybe people have a little bit of the backbone of a scholar in their bones; of course, the most likely thing is that he feels that the former President Kim Dae-jung, who supported him back then, has such a little bit of kindness to him, uh, Confucianism...... But none of that matters anymore. ”

"Why?" Taeyeon asked seriously.

"Because people's energy and backbone are all limited, how can you Teacher Li Xiuman have time to ask about the company's affairs in his current state? There is no Li Xiuman in the company, shouldn't I rub it flat if I want to, and knead it if I want to? Don't you expect your President Kim Young-min and Executive Director Han to come to me to top the bull?"

Taeyeon sighed slightly, "I shouldn't have come to OPPA." ”

"So it will make people think that you are a scheming woman. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "You don't need to make any scandals, I'll tell Kim Youngmin, he doesn't dare not agree......"

Taeyeon shook her head.

"What does this mean?" said Kim frowned.

"I may not have all kinds of opinions like Mr. Li Xiuman, but after being an artist for so many years, I am a little conscious. Taeyeon replied calmly. "Don't get me wrong, I mean to say that there are some things that I don't want to do on the surface, but I still have to do them...... Of course, I'll apologize to the fans when things calm down...... OPPA thinks I'm pedantic or ridiculous, but I do want to take a little bit of the pressure off the company, it's my choice. ”

Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and then he really wanted to laugh, but before he could laugh, he was already excited.

In the end, he waved his hand a little irritably, and let the other party go, letting the other party leave quickly: "Come to me at any time if you change your mind!"

Taeyeon nodded, then quickly got up and left.

In this way, after sitting for a while, Jin Zhongming looked around at the blank gaze in the bar, and was already sleepy. In the end, he actually took the wine glass in front of him and drank it down, and then got up to leave.
