"Where is it?" Xu Ning immediately argued: "I am thinking about your reputation, so I suggest that you find a way to explain it to Miss Jiang Minjing as soon as possible, it may be because I am in a hurry just now, so the tone is a little inappropriate, which will make you have such an illusion......" "Really?" Park Hyomin looked left and right and looked at Xu Ning for a long time, "As for the reason why you are so anxious to explain this matter to Minjing, I don't believe what you said, there must be some other reason in it." ”

"What else could it be. Xu Ning smiled bitterly, "Really, I'm doing this purely for your consideration." ”

“no，no，no。 Park Hyo-min shook his finger: "Cyglioni once said that men like to deceive people, maybe oppa you are also lying to me now, I always feel that something is strange." Now go to bed first, maybe I'll know what's wrong when I wake up. After saying that, Park Hyo-min got into the sleeping bag again and closed the zipper.

"Hey. Xu Ning sighed, shook his head, and turned off the lights in the car.

At 11 p.m. the next day, in the president's office at the headquarters of CCM.

"Xu Ningjun, it's not that I don't believe you, but I need an explanation, why did this video end up in Jype's hands?" Kim Kwang-so stared at Xu Ning, who was standing opposite him, and asked sharply.

"President, I don't know how JYPE got this video, but I definitely didn't leak it. Xu Ningli stood upright, clasped his hands, and stood in front of Kim Kwang-so in a straight stride-up posture and said.

"Xu Ningjun, you have been the main person in charge of this matter from beginning to end, and now that we are winning and losing, you have to give the president an explanation. Kim Jong Wook stood aside and said.

"President, I have a way to prove that the video did not flow from our company. Xu Ning ignored Kim Jong-wook's words, but said to Kim Kwang-so with an expressionless face.

"What's the way?" Kim Kwang-so didn't expect Xu Ning to say this, and asked casually.

"If you compare the video we recorded as evidence at that time with the video broadcast in the news with JYPE as evidence, you can see if it is the same video. Xu Ning said, "If it is from the same video, then it is naturally lost from our internal system, if not, then I am afraid that it is really as Park Jinying said, it was filmed by their surveillance." ”

"Uh......" Jin Guangzhu frowned and thought about it when he heard Xu Ning say this: "That makes sense, Zhong Xu, you go to the security department to get the video." ”

"Yes. Kim Jong-wook immediately took the order and left.

Twenty minutes later, Kim Kwang-so, Kim Jong-wook, Seo Nin-hin, and the head of the Ministry of Security stared at the monitors of the two laptops in Kim Kwang-so's office for a long time, and each let out a long sigh.

"God forbid, fortunately, these two videos were obviously recorded by two different machines, otherwise even if Xu Ning is a mole, I will not be able to escape this charge of improper confidentiality. The Minister of Security said inwardly as he reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"This ...... It seems that it really isn't a video leaking from our company, could it be that the gorilla really has such an unpredictable foresight and is prepared in advance? This shouldn't be......" Kim Kwang-so was puzzled in his heart, "By the way, it seems that Xu Ning was really wronged this time, this kid's face is black, and he is about to turn into coal, so he has to be appeased." ”

"How can this be? I knew that I wouldn't help just now, and I offended Xu Ning now. Kim Jong-wook was annoyed by his previous mistakes: "Why don't you invite him to drink a drink tonight to ease the relationship?"

"Fortunately, I prepared in advance, otherwise I would have been exposed this time. Xu Ning secretly rejoiced in his heart, "This Yu Zecheng's work is really not something that everyone can do, and when I go back, I have to go back and look through the history of the party to review it." ”

"Uh-huh. Jin Guangzhu coughed lightly, and at the same time glanced at Jin Zhongxu on the side, signaling him to turn off the computer quickly, and at the same time said to Xu Ning with a pleasant face: "It seems that it is my fault this time, I have wronged you, Xu Ning, don't care, I have such a temper, once I encounter something, I am easy to get anxious and lose my judgment." ”

"What you're saying is really realistic. Xu Ning nodded in his heart, but said verbally: "It doesn't matter, president, it's good to prove my innocence, but I am really responsible for this incident, if I didn't suggest continuing to dig and make this conflict bigger, I wouldn't have gotten to the current situation and wasted all the original achievements." ”

"That's true, but you can't blame it all. Xu Ning gave Kim Kwang-so the steps down so knowingly, and took part of the responsibility on himself, and Kim Kwang-so was happy to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, "After all, you have no experience in dealing with Park Zhenying, in fact, if your suggestion comes true, our previous results will be magnified several times, but I didn't expect this gorilla to be cunning and cunning, and he actually played such a trick with us, and suddenly reversed public opinion and public attention......"

At the same time, Park Hyo-min hurriedly met with the team members in the practice room of the headquarters, planning to practice with his teammates before the afternoon performance, so as not to make mistakes in the afternoon performance.

"Well, Minkyung, Helioni, you're there too. As a result, as soon as I walked into the practice room, Park Hyo-min saw Davichi 2 people, and then looked at the sides, yo, the dare**eya combination is also here.

"Everyone has a part in this afternoon's commercial performance. Seeing Park Hyo-min's stunned look, Han Eunjing hurriedly came over to explain.

"Oh? Park Hyo-min nodded hurriedly, "I thought it was just us, so everyone was going there." ”

"Why does Hyo-min feel weird?" Park So-yeon leaned into Li Juli's ear and whispered, "That expression just now was like seeing a ghost." ”

"I don't know. Li Juli whispered: "I hope nothing happens in the afternoon." ”

"Bah, don't be a crow's mouth. Quan Baolan, who was also sitting next to the two of them, pinched Li Juli in a low voice and said.

The clock ticked by and it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Congratulations to all of you, the show went well. The director of the public relations department of CCM said: "Everyone has worked hard, now everyone should go back, if you have a trip, continue to be busy with the trip, and if you don't have a trip, take a good rest." ”

"Yes. A group of artists and others responded together, and this afternoon's commercial performance was very successful, although the scale was not large, but the atmosphere was very good.

"Min Kyung, do you have time at night?" Everyone here began to pack up their things and plan to go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, but at this time, Park Hyo-min quietly came to Jiang Minjing's side, "If you have time, how about going to the mall with me?"

"Huh?" For Park Hyomin's invitation, Jiang Minjing was not surprised at all, his "phone incident" in the early hours of this morning estimated that Xu Ning would definitely tell Park Hyomin, and then this sister would inevitably come to him to "press" this matter, "Me? Of course I have time, but I am very leisurely most of the time." ”

"Okay, tonight at 8 o'clock, let's meet downstairs in the dormitory and go out for a walk together?" Park Hyo-min said.

“ok。 Jiang Minjing replied very dryly.

At this time, the CCM headquarters, in the office of Minister Park.

"I heard that you were called by President Kim as soon as you came back in the morning?" said Minister Park as he poured Xu Ning a cup of tea.

"Yes, President Kim is indeed very sensitive, and he suspected me at the first time. Xu Ning took the teacup and drank the hot tea: "Fortunately, I was prepared at that time, otherwise this time, I would be in danger." ”

"It's so hot, you can still take a bite like this? Okay, you. Minister Park said and refilled Xu Ning's tea, "What was the purpose of you finding someone else to shoot that video from another angle? At that time, I didn't match you with the gorillas, what do you want to keep this video for?"

"It's a secret that can't be told. Xu Ning shook his finger, "Minister Park, you can't think of it anyway, besides, isn't he your cousin, why do you call him a gorilla?"

"So many people call him that, is it strange that I call him that?" Minister Park said, "Besides, if I have President Park, won't President Kim expel me from the gate earlier?"

"Didn't he know that you and Park Jinying were actually cousins?" asked Xu Ning, touching his nose.

"This, I don't think he knows. Minister Park nodded: "At that time, he was depressed in the M headquarters, and slowly pulled people out to set up CCM, I was one of the veterans who left M with him at that time, and he still remembered some incense for me more or less, and for so many years, I have only helped him deal with logistics matters, never interfered in various measures in the direction of the company's operation and management, and has always been a non-contentious style, he is relatively at ease with me." ”

"It's a pity that I'm never at ease. Xu Ning shook his head: "Every time something happens, the first person to suspect is always me, and I still saved his life in the first place." ”

"How could you be the same. Minister Park said: "How long have you been here? You have climbed to this position, and the subconscious that he wants to repay you for saving your life has played a great role, if you don't believe it, you look at some other old people in the company, they have made great contributions to the company's start and rise, but most of them are still at the level of the head of the room, and you have become a deputy minister in less than 2 months." ”

"In this way, I should really be grateful to President Kim. Xu Ning said: "So this time, I teamed up with the minister to help Park Zhenying so much, didn't you really become a traitor in the company?"

"No, no, this time it's obvious that the SM side is using us as a gunman, if President Kim really tastes any sweetness in this operation, then he will probably be more proactive in the future to be a gunman for SM, we did this time, in fact, to strategically correct President Kim's directional mistakes. Minister Park said, shaking his finger.

"Then hopefully, I won't have to help him correct the so-called strategic direction mistakes in the future, which is a very risky job. Xu Ning said: "I've heard people say that the president has mixed in the road before, has a deep background, and is said to be a very senior figure, if he finds out that he misunderstood, I will lose my job is small, if I lose any organ in my body, it will be a big loss." ”

"It's not that exaggerated. Minister Park laughed and said, "Besides, aren't you very good at fighting, you can fight 1vs7 or 8 thugs, are you still afraid of this?"

"When will I be able to single-handedly take on 7 or 8 thugs? Who made the rumor for me?!" Xu Ning immediately became anxious: "If this spreads, what will people think of me? ”

"President Kim did have close contacts with some powerful characters in society back then, and he once entered a small black house for some unknown reasons. Minister Park also poured himself a cup of tea, and then drank it all, "This is a fact, I won't hide it from you, his style of doing things often has the taste of happiness and hatred of some social groups, and he rarely cares about some of the 'unspoken rules' that are more particular in society, so many people have a headache for him, and his rise so quickly after ET is inseparable from his characteristics." ”

"Use hooligan methods to fight the world, but you have to use scholarly methods to rule the world. Xu Ning nodded and said: "At the beginning of the business, this was indeed effective, but now it is still like this, isn't it inappropriate?"

"Yes, he knows it himself, so now he is slowly starting to reuse a group of scholars like Yuli and them, and let them use more modern management concepts to transform the company, according to what they say, it should be regarded as whitewashing......" Minister Park was continuing, but Jin Zhongxu's voice came from outside the door: "Minister Park, is Xu Ningjun here with you?"

"Yes, Zhong Xu, please come in. Minister Park immediately stopped talking: "Someone is looking for you again." ”

"Zhong Xuxi, is there something wrong?" Seeing Jin Zhongxu push the door in, Xu Ning immediately got up and said.

"It's nothing, just to invite Xu Ningjun to come out for a drink or two tonight, recently you have been working hard for the company's affairs, and the president specially ordered me to take you outside tonight to relax and relax, and give you a half-day off tomorrow morning." Kim Jong-wook said very directly: "If Minister Park is interested, come with me tonight, I haven't invited you to drink yet." ”

"I'm not going, you young people are drinking, I'm a half-old man there, can you still drink?" Minister Park immediately shook his head and said: "Xu Ningjun, go outside with Zhong Xu tonight to relax, look at your dark circles, you can go to the zoo to perform as a panda, and sleep well tomorrow morning, I also came here with President Jin back then." ”

"Hehe, then thank you Zhong Xuxi, and thank you the president for me. Xu Ning agreed with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go first, Minister Park, you and Xu Ningjun have a slow chat, and I have to deal with some other matters assigned by the president. Kim Jong-wook then said goodbye and left.

"You seem to be optimistic about it lately, and there are constant invitations to various banquets. Seeing Kim Jong-wook walk out of the house, Minister Park said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is the young potential stock that I was optimistic about at the beginning, and the future is limitless." ”

"I'm not interested in these invitations at all. Xu Ning shook his head: "The so-called wine has no good wine, there is no good banquet, eighty percent is another Hongmen banquet, and the last time I went out to drink with Yuli's seniors, I had a fight with the subordinates of the second ancestor of the son I don't know, and I don't know what will happen tonight." ”

At 6:30 p.m., Jin Zhongxu's voice came from outside Xu Ning's office: "Let's go, Xu Ningjun, let's drink." ”

"Okay, I'll be right here. Xu Ning stopped a draft of the next advertising and marketing plan for the website in his hand, saved the document, and turned off the computer.

"There is another dinner, Xu Ningjun, I am really envious, if there is a dinner every day, you can save a lot of food expenses in the future. Jin Yuli, who was also about to pack up his things and leave, said.

"I have a meal every day, and I guess my stomach should be reimbursed. Xu Ning smiled and said, "By the way, Senior Yuli, the president will give me a half-day off tomorrow morning......

"I know this, Zhong Xuxi has already told me. Jin Yuli said: "It's been really hard for you in the past two days, by the way, I forgot to tell you that when you were at Minister Park's side in the afternoon, Davichi Jiang Minjing came to look for you, and left when you weren't there." ”

"Oh, okay, I see, thank you, Yuri-senpai. Xu Ning nodded, turned around and walked out of the office.

"Let's go, I'll drive, and I'll take you to a good place tonight. Jin Zhongxu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw that Xu Ning came out, and immediately pretended to put his arm on Xu Ning's shoulder and said.

"Okay. Xu Ning didn't react to such a gesture, but just responded with a smile.

7:20 a.m., Myeongdong, Seoul, in front of a bar.

"Zhong Xuxi, this seems to be a bar. Xu Ning stood at the door and hesitated and said.

"yes, don't you see that there are signs hanging over there?" Kim Jong-wook said, "This is a high-end bar, and of course it is also a high-end bar, which is guaranteed to satisfy you." ”

"Let's just go in and drink on an empty stomach?" Xu Ning seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Rest assured, there are also some side dishes to accompany the wine, and the level of preparation is very high, which is not inferior to the level of the famous chefs of those well-known hotels outside. Jin Zhongxu patted Xu Ning's shoulder and said with a smile: "After we finish here, find a place to have some supper, fill your stomach, rest assured, I guarantee that I won't be hungry." ”

"Huh. Xu Ning also smiled and followed Jin Zhongxu into the bar
