"What, I was scolded again in the crew?" Li Haili asked, "Was it scolded by the director or was taught a lesson by the seniors?"

"I was neither scolded by the director nor taught by my predecessors. Jiang Minjing shook his head, "It's just grievance." ”

"Those negative comments on the Internet again?" Li Haili said, "It's all said, don't pay attention to them." ”

"I've ignored them, but there are a lot of ordinary passers-by besides them. Jiang Minjing sighed, "Maybe I'm really not suitable for acting, obviously I've tried my best, why don't they recognize me?"

"This ...... Perhaps, everyone has their own strengths. Li Haili touched Jiang Minjing's long hair and said.

"Well, in the future, it's better to sing honestly, act or something, whoever likes to go. Jiang Minjing nodded.

"Hehe......" Li Haili smiled bitterly on the side and didn't say anything.

And at the same time, inside the T-Ara dormitory.

"Today, I met Xu Ning OPPA with IU next to the practice room. Park Ji-yeon said as she nibbled on a biscuit.

"It's so late, don't eat Ji-yeon. Li Juli on the side said: "Be careful of growing meat, the president said it last time." ”

"It's okay Ernie, I'm tall and no one can see it. Park Ji-yeon said nonchalantly.

"There are people here who are taller than you, and no one has eaten them. "Regarding the issue of height, it has always been a sensitive line of all-sapphire blue.

"Uh......" Park Ji-yeon looked at Yoo Hwa-young, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, pouted, and put down the biscuit.

"Heck, Ji-yeon just eats a little cookie once in a while now, it's fine. Seeing Park Ji-yeon's expression, Park Hyo-min hurriedly said, "Ji-yeon, I also went to the practice room in the afternoon, why did it become the director's office next to it?"

"Oh, Xu Ning's oppa office moved there. Park Ji-yeon saw that someone was "supporting" her, so she picked up the biscuit again, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have met him today, he still cares about Hwa-young very much, and asked Hwa-young how he is running in with us." ”

"Care about me?" said Liu Huaying, who had been sitting in the corner without speaking, in surprise.

"Yes," Park Ji-yeon nodded, "I haven't seen him care so much about anyone, Hwayoung, you're in luck." ”

"Well, don't care about me, I'm feeling so stressed. Liu Huaying hurriedly shook her head.

"Why did he move his office next to us? Wasn't it okay yesterday?" Park Hyo-min said, scratching his head.

"How do I know, I'm not the president. Park Ji-yeon shook her head like a rattle.

"Maybe the president thinks we've been too lax lately and sent him to supervise us next to our practice room?" Quan Baolan said.

"That's what the agent oppa should do, he's one of the directors of the company now, can he do that?" Li Juli shook her head, "There must be a lot of stories in this that we don't know." ”

"Cut, maybe he wants to be closer to us?" Park Ji-yeon said, "Take the initiative to ask the president to come next door to us, so that you can observe us up close for three days, hehe......"

"You kid, what are you talking nonsense!" Park Hyo-min patted Park Ji-yeon on the head.

"That's it, if you say that, I'll feel hairy when I go to the practice room in the future. Park So-yeon came out of the dormitory and said.

"Ji-yeon is now grown up and bolder. Li Juli said: "But Zhiyan, you can't call him oppa anymore in the future, if you want to call him director, or you don't care about him, but outsiders are easy to gossip when they hear it, after all, he is the youngest director in the company, he is too young, and it is easy to say bad things when he passes around." ”

"Uh...... Got it. Park Ji-yeon stuck out her tongue and shoved the last cookie into her mouth.

A few days later on the weekend.

"Uh...... Hello Mr. Lee. Xu Ning took the books and waited to the downstairs of Li Xuanmei's apartment, but unexpectedly saw Li Xuanmei standing with her stepfather Mr. Li, and the two of them were standing at the entrance of the building together, seemingly waiting for him.

"Oh, hello Mr. Xu. Mr. Li shook hands with Xu Ning, "Do you come to tutor Xuanmei every weekend?"

"Yes, I'm sorry I have other jobs on weekdays, so I can only come to teach Xuanmei on weekends. Xu Ning said.

"That's right, you know, there is less than half a year left before her college entrance examination. Mr. Li said as he walked: "I still know her background, this is not good, I plan to change some teachers for her, after all, you are just a person, she has a lot of subjects to test, although your level is very high, but after all, you are also clumsy, not ......"

"Uh...... I'm going to be swept away. Xu Ning muttered in his heart, and at the same time peeked at Li Xuanmei.

"Dad, I don't want to change teachers, Mr. Xu is very good in class, and my grades have improved a lot now. Li Xuanmei didn't expect Mr. Li to come over this time, and actually said this, and began to grab his arm and shake it coquettishly.

"Xuanmei, don't mess around, I'm talking about business now!" Mr. Li shook off Li Xuanmei's hand and said sharply.

"Dad, why don't we take a test today. Seeing Mr. Li's eloquent appearance, Li Xuanmei also put away her coquettish expression, "If I don't do well in the test, I will promise you to change teachers, but if I have good grades, ......"

"Then it's up to you. Mr. Li nodded: "Okay, then let's test it today." ”

"I have a lot of mock papers over there. Li Xuanmei said: "Today we will randomly draw a set." ”

"No, we'll go to the bookstore and buy a random set now. Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "This is the most reliable." ”

"What, are you still afraid that I won't be able to cheat?" Li Xuanmei stomped her foot vigorously and said angrily.

"Eh, Xuanmei, you can't do this, Mr. Li, this is for your own good. Xu Ning hurriedly persuaded on the side.

"Okay, just go, there's a bookstore around here. Li Xuanmei pointed to the side of the street, "Walk a distance." ”

"But today, can you finish the test? Xu Ning touched his nose and said as he walked.

"Today, it's good to test two subjects first, mathematics and English. Mr. Li said, "She has the worst foundation in these two subjects." ”

"Hehe, okay. As soon as she heard that it was these two doors, Li Xuanmei's face flashed a strange smile.

"Could this kid be ...... Confused, right?" Looking at the smile on her face, Xu Ning couldn't help frowning, these two subjects are also the subjects that she has tutored her the most, it should be said that compared to the beginning, the progress is not small, but is it...... It can only be said that it has improved from 20 points to 50 points, and if this is really tested, I am afraid that Mr. Li will have to be angry.

Mr. Li also wondered, but thinking of the eccentricity of this daughter, Mr. Li felt that it was estimated that Li Xuanmei was using a "suspicious strategy", so he strengthened his determination to test these two subjects.

30 minutes later, inside Li Xuanmei's apartment.

"Okay, let's make this one. The three of them brought back several sets of papers, all of which were available in various subjects, and spent a lot of money, Mr. Li picked and chose among them, and finally took out a math paper and said.

"The air conditioner in here is too low, it's not good for the joints, Xuanmei, you have to remember to wear long pants to protect the ......joints in the air-conditioned room in the future," Xu Ning went to find the remote control of the air conditioner.

"Something doesn't seem right. Looking at Xu Ning's appearance there, Mr. Li couldn't help frowning.

"Okay, I'll do it now, you two don't quarrel with me. Li Xuanmei took the paper very happily and began to write on the desk like a flying pen, looking confident.

The process of invigilation is very boring, Xu Ning is deeply touched by this, Mr. Li can be regarded as an experience this time, when he drank the three brewed tea into boiled water, Li Xuanmei finally threw the pen, stretched his waist and said, "I'm done." ”

"1 hour 48 minutes. Xu Ning looked at the timer on his phone and said, "It's done quickly, check it again." ”

"You don't need to check, you can do it, you can do it, and you can't do it no matter how much you don't do it. Li Xuanmei said.

"Let's start verifying the answer now. To be honest, there are many questions on this that he doesn't understand himself, but one advantage of mathematics is that as long as the final answer is correct, the front is basically not far from ten, so he can barely deal with the past.

"Dad, you're too slow to verify, aren't you?" 20 minutes later, Li Xuanmei, who was sitting there, was a little impatient.

"Mr. Li, why don't I come?" Xu Ning suggested.

"Well, Mr. Xu, take a good look, is it wrong for me to proofread here?" Mr. Li pushed the paper and reference answer in front of Xu Ning and said, "This result is very weird." ”

"Weird? Xu Ning never thought that Mr. Li would use this adjective, so he hurriedly proofread it carefully.

10 minutes later, Xu Ning put down the paper, "Xuanmei's paper can get close to 90 points, maybe the score of each marker will be biased, but at least it is above 85 points." Saying that, Xu Ning looked at Li Xuanmei: "Your progress is great, and it is far from your usual performance, I think it is necessary to change the paper and test it again." ”

"What...... You both don't believe me. Li Xuanmei pursed her mouth and began to stomp her feet on the ground.

"Anyone who knows you better will be suspicious. Mr. Li said, "Have you done this test paper before?"

"Dad, this is a random selection of your own. Li Xuanmei pointed to the thick pile of mock scrolls on the side and said.

"Test again. Xu Ning said: "If the score is still at this level, it means that you have passed." ”

"Measure it, real gold is not afraid of fire. Li Xuanmei pouted and said, "You can choose." ”

"That's it. After looking at Xu Ning, Mr. Li picked out another volume.

An hour and a half later......

"This paper can score more than 90 points. After Xu Ning proofread repeatedly, he nodded and said.

"Wait, I'll take a closer look. "Mr. Li put on his glasses this time and almost stuck them to the test paper.

"Hmph, whatever you want. Li Xuanmei looked indifferent.

"Okay. Rubbing his eyes, Mr. Li finally put down the paper, "Your math has passed." ”

"Hehe, I'll just say it. As soon as she heard Mr. Li say this, Li Xuanmei immediately smiled.

"Then the next is English. Mr. Li reached out and rummaged through the pile of test papers again.

"Dad, what time is it?" Li Xuanmei pointed to the small wall clock on the wall, "I'm dying of hunger." ”

"Oh? Only then did Mr. Li react, they had been sitting here for half a day, and it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go down to dinner......

At 7:30 p.m., inside a café near Li Xuanmei's apartment.

"Today's test, is it really your normal level?" Xu Ning took a sip of coffee and asked.

"You've asked this seven times tonight. Li Xuanmei frowned, "Why don't you believe it until now?"

"Since you've learned all that, why do you usually pretend you don't understand in front of me?" Xu Ning said, "Is it interesting to lie to me like this?"

"It's not interesting, but if I don't lie to you like that, I'm afraid you won't even come here once a week. Li Xuanmei sighed helplessly, then looked at Xu Ning and said, "I'm also forced to do it." ”

"Uh...... Xuanmei, don't say that. Xu Ning was very uncomfortable by her eyes, and said sideways.

"Okay, now that you know it, will you come back in the future?" asked Li Xuanmei.

“…… Come. Xu Ning hesitated for a long time and squeezed out such a word from between his teeth.

"Huh. Li Xuanmei smiled, "Do you know? I'm very happy now, happier than when I was admitted to university, happier than when I won so many awards on the stage back then, and today is the happiest day I have had in the past six months." ”

Maybe this day was the happiest day for Li Xuanmei, but it was definitely the happiest day for Li Xiuman, who was in the conference room of the SM headquarters at this moment, facing a bunch of directors.

"I said before that I would block the three Kim Jae-jung people, so that they would retreat and return to TVXQ. Li Xiuman's face was serious: "But this time, that time, now that they have found a backer and an ally, it is no longer something we can block, if we really go on like this, we will lose more than we can lose." ”

"It's not something we care about, we just want to know, when TVXQ will be able to come out again, we want 5 TVXQ, not 2 people now, the gap in their ability to absorb gold, you won't be unaware. One bespectacled director said: "They have long been the company's most stable gold absorber ATM. Now you've split it in two, a loss we can't accept. ”

"If you really want a definite time, I can tell you right now that this time will never come. Li Xiuman said categorically: "We have all come to this point, and both sides have no choice." ”

"You were right...... the director, he said, he was unwilling.

"It was then, and it's now. Li Xiuman slapped the table hard, "The situation is different, please keep your eyes open and take a look." ”

"What are you slapping the table for? Are you trying to threaten and intimidate the director?" said the director, startled at first, before standing up.

"Alright, both of you, let's put out the fire. Seeing this, Kim Yingmin came out and became a peacemaker and said: "TVXQ has made the current situation, which none of us want to see, but now that it has happened, we can't help it? Everyone, please rest assured, this is not the first time that our company has experienced such a thing. If we can create an TVXQ, we can naturally create the next TVXQ, isn't this the strongest part of our company?"

"Not bad. Li Xiuman nodded: "Fellow directors, please rest assured, although TVXQ is currently split, I am very sure that their ability to attract gold in Japan is still beyond the reach of other Korean groups...... As for the vacant part, Girls' Generation will soon officially start its activities in Japan, and Shinne will also choose the opportunity to move to Japan, and they will fill this vacancy when the time comes......"

One hour later, Li Xiuman was half-paralyzed on the sofa in the conference room like a different person, and sighed: "These directors, who usually ask them for money and people, have nothing, and when they come to such a time, they come over to cause trouble for us, and I don't know if they are our allies or our enemies." ”

"It's an enemy who stabs us in the back as an ally. Jin Yingmin took a hard puff of cigarette and said, "I told you a long time ago, don't dilute your equity too much, let so many people come in, there is no help, and there are a lot of troublemakers."

"Didn't we need money then? Li Xiuman sat up, "We have to speed up the progress of Girls' Generation to Japan, otherwise this group of people will come over to make trouble twice in three days, and we won't do anything." ”

"I will, I've stepped up my contact with Ai Hui over there in the past two days. Jin Yingmin nodded, "It's just that I'm a little worried, once they go to Japan to expand their territory, the domestic market will inevitably lose a part, and I don't want them to repeat the mistakes of the original wirls." ”

"Rest assured, we are different from Park Jin-young, and our resources are simply incomparable to him. Li Xiuman waved his hand: "And Japan and South Korea are all with water, it is convenient to go back and forth, once there is a change, we can turn back at any time." ”

"At any time, if you don't get a firm foothold over there, you will turn around and come back?" Jin Yingmin smiled bitterly, "What you said is too simple, if you really dare to do this, Ai will dare to turn his face with us when he returns there." ”
