CHAPTER XLIV
"Hahahaha, Xu Ning, you're thinking too much, what powerful tricks can he have?" Kim Kwang-so laughed and waved his hand: "We all know Park Zhenying's way of thinking, and besides, it's not that there is no movement on their side, it's just that you haven't noticed their movements, and now he has sent the strength of his public relations department to various TV stations, newspapers and other media to suppress public opinion." "Oh?" Xu Ning said, "But our news is still broadcast smoothly, and it seems that the effect of their elastic pressure is not very good." ”
"I can't say that, after all, it took a lot of effort for us to get the news on the air. Kim Kwang-so waved his hand and said, "Okay, leave him alone, this situation is enough for that gorilla to drink a pot, our basic purpose has been achieved, and the rest of the time should be focused on ourselves again." ”
"Yes. Xu Ning and Jin Zhongxu nodded together and said.
"Xu Ning, you've been busy with the things I assigned to you recently, but you also have to take care of your own work. Kim Kwang-so said: "Yu Li complained to me, saying that he has been broken into 3 people alone, and it is difficult to take care of many things, and he is tired all day long, and he wants me to 'return' you to him as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, Senior Yuli has been really busy enough recently, and I will take over some of his affairs as soon as possible and share his worries. Xu Ning nodded and said.
"Well, that's good. Kim Kwang-so nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you go get busy." ”
"Yes, President. Xu Ning nodded and left Kim Kwang-so's office.
"Hello, Minister Park. Just two steps out of Kim Kwang-so's office, Xu Ning happened to meet another important task of the company, his old leader - Minister Park of the Logistics Department.
"Xu Ningjun, it's been a long time. Minister Park walked over with a folder, "What have you been busy with lately? ”
"Minister Park, do you have something to do with me?" Xu Ning still respected his old leader, "If you have something, just ask someone to call me, I will definitely do my best." ”
"Hehe, you're still so polite. Minister Park patted Xu Ning's shoulder with a smile, "I'll go to the president to discuss something first, how about it, do you have time tonight, let's come out for two drinks together?" Just celebrate your ascension, after all, now you are no longer the little handyman who does chores for Yuli, but the deputy director of our company's e-commerce department is also the company's middle-level leader." ”
"Yes, Minister Park, you are invited, how can I not have time?" Xu Ning said with a smile.
"Then it's a foregone conclusion. Minister Park said, "I'm going to discuss things with the president, don't forget it." ”
"Don't worry, Minister Park, no matter what I forget, I won't forget it. Xu Ning said with a smile.
Two minutes later, Xu Ning and Jin Yuli were in their offices.
"Hello, Xu Ningjun, it's really rare, but I haven't seen you here for a long time. Jin Yuli looked at Xu Ning, who pushed the door in, and complained: "I've been so busy lately that I haven't returned all night, and I'm about to take this place as my home." ”
"Yuli's predecessors, there was a famous general in ancient China who wrote a poem to tell his life: 'The north and south drive to report the main feelings, the river lace moon smiles in his life, three hundred and sixty days a year, all of them are Hengge horses. 'I really admire you as your office, busy with business all day long, quite like an ancient sage. Xu Ning responded to Jin Yuli's complaint with a smile.
"Xu Ningjun, knowing that you are literary and romantic, it is not trivial, so stop making fun of me. Jin Yuli smiled bitterly and said, "Let's take a look at this." As he spoke, he handed over a folder on his desk.
"What is this?" Xu Ning took the folder and opened it: "Yo, the results are good, this can be said to be a good start." It turned out that Jin Yuli handed him a list of the accounts of the past week, "Wait a minute, senior." Looking at it, Xu Ning realized that something was wrong: "Didn't the press conference for the public launch be held two days ago? Why is it that the operation record here has been more than a week, what's going on?"
"Hey, the press conference was held two days ago, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it was officially launched two days ago. Jin Yuli said: "As you know, it was the end of the event period of T-Ara's first album repackage "Breaki", and we rushed to let it go online during this time period, that is, to take a ride, so that children can do more publicity for the early stage, after all, relying on such a show to promote it is actually very limited......
"I see, what the predecessors said makes sense. Xu Ning saw that Jin Yuli was talking endlessly and had the intention of teaching him a lesson, and hurriedly said: "It seems that the effect of this publicity is very good, and this sales are very good." As he spoke, he flipped to the back and looked at a few pages: "Eh, why are there so many orders that have been cancelled?"
"Shhhhhh Jin Yuli hurriedly made a silent gesture to Xu Ning, "Let the president know, it's over." ”
"Understood. Xu Ning immediately lowered his voice, "Senior, what's going on?"
"We're falsifying transaction records. Jin Yuli walked to the door of the office, "clicked", locked the door, and then whispered to Xu Ning: "Make the transaction records more beautiful, first, it can make the president happy, and second, such good-looking data is also easier to arouse the consumption of those who enter the online store intentionally or unintentionally, you should know this?"
"Understood, so these reversed transaction records should be our own forged transaction records, outsiders only see these, but they can't see the revoked parts. Xu Ning nodded: "And this can also effectively avoid taxes, which is indeed a very simple and practical method." ”
"But we can't let the president know about this, and if he does, he will have to arrest us and criticize us. Jin Yuli said: "To be honest, the president has high hopes for this online store, hoping that it will slowly grow into a world-renowned large-scale comprehensive shopping site like Amazon. ”
"In all fairness, after deducting these falsified transaction records, these real turnover is still very good. Xu Ning flipped through the pages of documents again and said.
"Of course you can say that, but the president doesn't think so. Jin Yuli said: "I know the president's temper better than you, he is a very impatient person, especially people or things who have high hopes for him, always lack patience, always thinking about eating a bite to become a fat man......"
"Uh...... Senior, it's not good for us to talk about the president in private like this. Xu Ning looked at the door and whispered.
"Hehe, that's why I have to lock the door. Jin Yuli said proudly, but before his voice fell, there was a knock on the door of the house, which made Jin Yuli's scalp tingle: "I'll take it, isn't it, is it really inch, just talking about the president, the president is here?"
"Anyone?" Fortunately, this voice was not the voice of Kim Kwang-so who made Jin Woo-ri's heart tremble, but a slightly calm baritone that he and Xu Ning were familiar with.
"Minister Park?" Kim Woo-ri was stunned for a moment, "Why is he here?"
"How can it be so fast?" Xu Ning whispered and opened the door quickly.
"What are you two doing here? The door is locked in broad daylight. Minister Park walked into the room and said.
"Didn't do anything. Jin Yuli sneered and said, "We just had a small meeting on the business situation in the past week, because the business figures are not very good, so we specially locked the door......
"Oh, that's right. Minister Park nodded, "I just came over from the president, and I heard him say that the first week's business figures are not very good, Uri, you are so modest." ”
"Huh. Xu Ning and Jin Yuli looked at each other, touched their heads, and smiled helplessly.
"By the way, Xu Ning, it's 7 o'clock tonight, xxx hotel, I've already booked a box. Minister Park turned his face to Xu Ning and said, "You must come when the time comes, I came here to say hello to Yu Li in advance, and if you have a task tonight, don't hand it over to Xu Ning." ”
"Of course. Jin Yuli hurriedly said: "Even if the sky falls tonight, I won't trouble Xu Ningjun." ”
"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated. Minister Park nodded in satisfaction.
"Thank you, Uri-senpai. Xu Ning thanked Jin Yuli.
The three of them chatted a few more words, and Minister Park left, Jin Yuli sent Minister Park away, and came back to Xu Ning and said: "Hey, I originally wanted to say that you came back and did me a favor tomorrow, but it seems that I will have to run alone tomorrow." ”
"What's the matter tomorrow? I'm just going to have dinner with Minister Park tonight, and I'm going to work normally tomorrow." Xu Ning couldn't hear the meaning of Jin Yuli's words, and hurriedly said.
"That's right, you know, T-ara's agent wasn't hospitalized for appendicitis, and he hasn't come back yet, tomorrow, Hyomin is going to participate in the recording of the program "Youth Undefeated", which is a bit far away, and someone needs to drive her over......" Jin Yuli said: "I wanted to trouble you to send her tomorrow morning, but it seems that ......"
"Don't worry, I'll deliver it tomorrow. Xu Ning waved his hand, "Aren't you just giving it to someone, it's not a big deal." ”
"The show started early, and you have to make sure you get her to the recording location by 9 o'clock in the morning. Jin Yuli said: "Basically, you have to leave before 7 o'clock in the morning, can you do it?"
"What's wrong with this?" Xu Ning said: "I often get up before 6 o'clock, you can rest assured." ”
"Then you can't drink tonight, don't look at Minister Park's usual appearance, he is an out-and-out drunkard. Jin Yuli said: "When the time comes, if you can't get up when you're drunk and make a mistake, I'll ask you." ”
"Hmm. Xu Ning nodded and said, "But I'm curious, there are a lot of T-Ara combinations, why do you just have one agent to run by yourself?"
"You have to ask the president, not me, because as far as I know, we don't have any team with additional assistants. Kim Woo-ri said, "According to the president's theory, this is to open up sources and reduce expenditure. ”
"This is at best a throttling, but I really don't see it. Xu Ning shook his head, "President, why are you so slammed in such a place......
That night, at the XXX Hotel, Xu Ning followed a waiter lady to a private room, and the waiter lady pointed to the box door and said, "Several guests have been waiting for you inside for a long time." ”
"Thank you. Xu Ning nodded slightly to the waiter and thanked him, then stood in front of the door, hesitated for a while, pushed the door in, and said "several guests" just now, so that he always had a bad premonition for some reason.
"Xu Ningjun, you're really late. As soon as I entered the box, Minister Park's voice came from inside.
"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road. Xu Ning smiled apologetically at everyone in the house, in fact, it was not that there was a traffic jam on the road, but that he had been outside the door for too long, "Hello Minister Park, Hello President Park, Hello Miss Xuanmei, Hello Miss Suzy." ”
Of the 4 people sitting in the box, 1 was naturally Minister Park Yong-chung who invited him, and the other 3 people, one of whom was Park Jin-young, the president of JYPE, as well as Lee Seon-mi, a former artist of the company, and Bae so-ji, a trainee.
"You may be seated. It was Park Jin-young who spoke, and it seems that he has replaced Minister Park Yong-chung as the protagonist of the dinner tonight.
Xu Ning was not very polite, he walked over directly and found a place to sit down, tonight's table was very large, and there were only 5 people seated, which seemed a little empty.
"Everyone is an acquaintance, I don't think there's any need to be so restrained, right?" Seeing that everyone present didn't speak, the atmosphere in the box was unusually depressing, and Minister Park stood up and became an active person: "Xu Ningjun, you know all of them, so I don't need to introduce them to you, right?"
…… Time passed quickly, and there was no word all night, and the next morning, at 6:40, at the door of the T-Ara dormitory.
"Good morning, Xu Ning oppa. Park Ji-yeon yawned and greeted Seo Nyeong, "Wait a minute, Hyo Min Oni will come out soon, she needs to put on a little makeup." ”
“ok。 Xu Ning nodded and said, "It seems that you and Xiaomin are up, what about the others?"
"Ernie is still asleep. Park Ji-yeon rubbed her eyes and said, "I'll have to catch up on sleep in a while, but Xu Ning oppa, you came too early, the previous agent oppa only came to pick up Hyomin Oni at 7 o'clock." ”
"Yesterday, Senior Yuli asked me to pick up Xiaomin before 7 o'clock, so I did it a little earlier just in case. Xu Ning said and looked into the room, "But it seems that I came a little early, I didn't expect you to be all lazy insects." ”
"It's not that we're lazy. Park Ji-yeon shook her head, "We worked day and night a while ago, and we were all tired, and now that the return period has passed, it is rare for us to be a little more relaxed, so naturally we have to sleep more and make up for it." ”
"In fact, this is completely unnecessary, everyone's daily sleep time is relatively fixed, and there is no such thing as making up for sleep, which is everyone's misunderstanding. Xu Ning said to Park Zhiyan here, and Park Hyo-min walked out of the house with a backpack: "Good morning, Xu Ning oppa, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”
"It's okay, you're fast. Xu Ning looked at Park Hyo-min slightly, "It seems that the makeup skills are good, in just a few minutes, I have already dressed up brilliantly, and after I retire, I can consider opening a quick makeup training class to ensure that the money is rolling, and maybe I can become a trust in the makeup training industry." ”
"Uh, Xu Ning oppa, how come you can learn to like to make fun of people like Yuli oppa?" Park Hyo-min smiled wryly, "Let's go quickly, today we are 30 minutes earlier than usual, I must be the first to arrive this time, when the time comes, go to the scene first to arrange a prank or something, and see if you can add some weight to me." ”
“ok。 "Everyone is urging, and Xu Ning doesn't continue to stay here longer, after all, he always stands at the door of people's houses, and it always feels weird.
20 minutes later, Xu Ning was in the car.
"Falling asleep again so soon?" Xu Ning, who was waiting for the red light, saw through the rearview mirror that Park Hyo-min, who was still playing with his mobile phone there before, was crooked in the back seat of the car, and couldn't help but shake his head and reached out to close the back window.
"Huh?" The sound of closing the car window was not loud, but Park Hyo-min didn't seem to be asleep, he woke up all of a sudden, rubbed his face, "Why did I fall asleep?" said and put down the window that Xu Ning had just closed, and took a few deep breaths out of the window.
"I think you'd better sleep a little longer. Xu Ning said while driving: "After all, you have to be busy all day from today, and no one knows what time you can sleep at night, but now you can sleep for a while." ”
"Don't sleep, you have to think about how to behave today, I can't always be a screen in it, right?" Park Hyo-min shook his head and said, "Xu Ning oppa, do you have any ideas?"
"What can I think of? Xu Ning smiled bitterly and said, "I, a person who hardly watches TV, even if I give you an idea, do you dare to use it?"
"Oh. Park Hyo-min responded,
In fact, she is just talking casually, with the increasing experience, her current sense of artistry has been steadily improving, and she is confident that sooner or later she will get rid of the disgraceful nickname of "screen".
"Xiaomin, isn't it hard to participate in a variety show for such a long time?" It felt strange that both of them were stuffed in the car and didn't speak, Xu Ning worked hard to find a topic: "You still have to live in that kind of broken house in the countryside, can you sleep at night?"
