Chapter 12: Functional Clusters and Krystal
"Director Jin's office and the arrangements of the relevant staff will be arranged tomorrow, I hope your plan can be implemented smoothly, and the company's resources will now begin to tilt greatly towards this project, this time it can all depend on Director Jin." After the detailed meeting on the second day, President Kim Young-min (CEO) and Kim Ho-woo said as they walked through the hallway.
This man named Kim Young-min does not have a stake in S.M, since 08 began to serve as the president of S.M, the company has been in frequent accidents, although he can't be blamed all, but it also makes many shareholders doubt and distrust his ability, this time he fully supports Kim Haoyu's plan is also an effort to be re-elected at next year's shareholders' meeting, after all, Kim Haoyu is now the second largest shareholder in addition to Li Xiuman.
Kim Ho-woo nodded and replied: "The sooner the plan is implemented, the better, after all, time is running out, as far as I know, several members of BigBang will start solo in turn at the end of the month, followed by the group's return to the stage, if we don't make the preliminary preparations for the return of Girls' Generation, the first half of 11 is likely to be YG's world, and S.M can't afford to wait half a year now." β
Kim Ho-woo was turning his head to talk to Kim Young-min, when suddenly there was a crisp and pleasant sound of women frolicking around the corner in front of him.
"Ah, President Kim, hello." Suddenly, several girls who saw the two hurriedly bowed down to say hello, and at the same time looked at Jin Haoyu beside Jin Yingmin suspiciously.
"This is the company's newly appointed director Jin Haoyu." Seeing this, Kim Young-min took the initiative to introduce.
Several people were surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly bowed down again to say hello.
Jin Haoyu waved his hand and said to Jin Yingmin: "I know a few of them, let's stop here today, I will attend the meeting on time tomorrow." β
Kim Young-min looked at Kim Ho-woo as if he had something to say to the Fx members, so he nodded and walked to his office after saying hello.
After Jin Haoyu saw Kim Young-min leaving, he greeted them with a smile and said, "It's been a long time, it's the end of the year, and the activities have been very hard lately, hasn't Amber returned from the United States yet?" β
Victoria, who is the captain of Fx, took the initiative to speak: "Thank you Kim Haoyu xi for your concern, Amber's injury is basically healed, and he will return to South Korea next month." β
FX is a five-member girl group launched by S.M in September '09, with three foreign members in order to be international. Captain Victoria is a native of Qingdao, China, formerly known as Song Qian, who was born in 87 and has been taking care of a group of members with an average birth date of 93 years old, and is affectionately called V Ma by the members.
The aforementioned Amber is the second oldest Chinese-American singer in the group, outgoing and cheerful, loves to joke with friends, and is called brother by Shirley, who was born in 93, because of his appearance and dressing a bit like a tomboy. In the middle of this year, due to a leg injury, he insisted on going on stage with a plaster cast at first, but when the injury worsened, he had to suspend his activities and return to his home in the United States to recuperate.
"How does it feel to get married? You still have a good time with Nikunxi at 2PM, right? Jin Haoyu asked with a smile.
Song Qian was embarrassed when she heard this, and replied awkwardly.
She is partnering with Nichkhun, a member of JYP's boy band 2PM, on an MBC variety show "We're Married."
This is a real-life show where imaginary star artists get married, and the program team selects popular male and female stars to form a couple and shoot an imaginary married life.
"I heard that your musical "Blonde Stunner" will start in February next year? How was the preparation, and did you need help? β
Jin Haoyu looked at a girl with a low head, slightly dark skin, and a typical Korean appearance and asked.
"Thank you oppa, now the progress is a qiΔ shun lΓ¬, when the time comes, oppa will come to support me if he has time." Luna said with a boldness on her face.
Luna's real name is Park Sun-pity, she is the lead singer in Fx, with a high voice, and she has a good voice, which Kim Haoyu admires very much, and the two are familiar with GuΓ² OST.
"Isn't oppa at CCM, why did he suddenly become a director of the company?" Choi Xueli, who has a pair of charming smiling eyes, asked Kim Haoyu with a grin.
As one of the two busy members of the Fx group, Shirley, whose real name is Cui Zhenzhen, is one of the tallest in the group, as the champion of the appearance group of the 2005 ** Korean Youth Selection Conference, and has not yet debuted, he has been arranged by the company to participate in many movies and TV series, and he is the image of the group, and his popularity is high. Although she has outstanding appearance, she has also been criticized for dressing up, and the aforementioned fashion terminator refers to her.
Before he could answer, Krystal, the real helper of Fx, stepped forward and grabbed Kim Haoyu's arm and dragged him towards the safe passage, turning his head and saying to the members: "Ernie get in the car first, won't there be an announcement in a while, I'll talk to him about some personal matters and go down immediately." β
Several people looked at each other, watching Jin Haoyu, a big man, staggered to the corner by Krystal, and they all shook their heads and left one after another.
Krystal's real name is Zheng Xiujing, because Xiujing and Crystal are pronounced the same in Korean, she was born in the United States and was given the English name Crystal by her parents. At the time of her debut, the company decided to use Krystal, a stage name spelled differently from her name.
Born in 94, she and Kim Haoyu are 7 years apart, and the reason why Krystal can do this and Kim Haoyu has not resisted is because the two have known each other for many years.
It was when Krystal was just in junior high school, and Kim Haoyu was angry because of a quarrel with his girlfriend that day, and happened to see her being entangled by several boys older than her in a hidden alley, so she thought she had met a thug, and she kicked her up to take the opportunity to get angry.
Jin Haoyu was angry, but who knew that it was a misunderstanding, people just wanted her to help convey love letters to her classmates, and in the end, she not only had to apologize but also compensated a lot of medical expenses.
After the two of them stood still in the stairwell, Krystal saw that no one raised his legs, so he kicked Jin Haoyu's calf, stared at him with his hands on his chest and did not speak.
Jin Haoyu grinned speechlessly, bent down and patted the footprints on his pants and said, "Little ancestor, how can I offend you?" Xiujing, you said that you are almost an adult, how can you be so unladylike. β
Krystal played with the ends of his hair with both hands, looked down at him without looking at him, pouted and said, "I want to go." β
Seeing this, Jin Haoyu had no choice but to say, "Didn't I want to surprise you..."
"What do you say? Surprise? What is the surprise, you will quibble, you don't tell me about such a big thing, what do you mean. Krystal said as he looked at him with a disbelieving frown.
"I'm not afraid that you will accidentally leak the news in the company, and what will happen if the acquisition fails." Jin Haoyu refused to admit that he had forgotten and made excuses to quibble.
Krystal rolled her eyes and glanced at him and said, "Then make it up, just oppa such a clumsy lie, no wonder your girlfriend wants to break up with you, even I can't lie if I make up a lie." β
Jin Haoyu's face turned dark and said: "Ah, what are you talking about, do you know what it is like to be in love, what are you commenting about, when did I lie." β
Krystal snorted disdainfully: "I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run, didn't oppa himself fall in love when he was my age, and besides, my friends are not people I haven't talked to." I've seen it through, you men are full of lies and try your best to deceive us women all day long, and you don't think of any way to compensate until you are discovered. β
Jin Haoyu shook his head with a headache, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the current children are really difficult to understand, and he doesn't know who instilled these strange thoughts.
"Anyway, it's my fault this time, it's over, I'll invite you to eat Korean beef after your announcement is over." Jin Haoyu said helplessly.
"If you do this trick again, you will buy people with materials." Krystal said stiffly, but she couldn't help drooling in her heart, as a beef controller, she would not get tired of eating beef every day.
Jin Haoyu saw that Han Niu couldn't impress her, and when he thought that he still had something to ask her, he said again: "Mango, how about I buy you some mangoes at night?" β
As soon as Krystal heard that there was his favorite mango, the balance in his heart began to tilt. You know, South Korea is not like the United States, where Krystal was born, where such fruits are delicious and cheap.
South Korea is located in the north, and tropical fruits such as mangoes are imported fruits, which are very expensive in supermarkets, sometimes even reaching 20,000 won (equivalent to 100 RMB) each.
As a newcomer who has only debuted for more than a year, his income is actually not much, and he can't eat imported fruits like mangoes as much as he wants.
Since there is a big wronged leader like Kim Haoyu, Krystal is naturally willing to satisfy his appetite.
"For the sake of me being so good to you, can you do me a favor?" Jin Haoyu said to her flatteringly.
Krystal squinted at him and asked, "What?" β
"Introduce you Ernie to me."
"Huh? No way? oppa, you're going to chase me Ernie? Krystal looked at Kim Ho-woo with a shocked expression.
Jin Haoyu knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I didn't mean that, you Ernie should be on Christmas vacation soon, I am going to reorganize Girls' Generation now, so I naturally want to find you Ernie." β
Krystal's biological sister is called Jessica, and her Korean name is Jung so-yeon, and she is also a member of Girls' Generation. After the group took a hiatus, she returned to the United States to attend a university and began to pursue her dream of being a designer.
"Oh, I see." Although Krystal was shocked that he was planning to make a comeback as a girl, he thought that this would also be a good thing for his sister, so he said, "Well, Ernie will not be back from the United States in a few days, and I will sue SΓΉoppa then." It's almost time, and I'm going to hurry down, or Ernie should be in a hurry. I'll call OPPA when I'm done here.,When the time comes, you must be honest with me and explain clearly.,You didn't even mention to me before that such a big thing about restructuring Girls' Generation has something to do with me.,I remember it! With that, he hurried downstairs.
Jin Haoyu secretly said that it was bad, and the waves were uneven and rising, but he didn't expect to provoke this little guy again, but he knew very well how much this 17-year-old girl had a grudge, and he didn't know what method to torture him when the time came.
Shaking his head, Jin Haoyu sighed helplessly, and he didn't know if he owed her money in his previous life, since he knew her, he made her toss and bully her. But he couldn't pull his son to get angry at the little girl who was 7 years younger than him, so he had to endure it silently, and he raised a daughter to prepare in advance for his future father.
Thinking that he had not officially settled in S.M and had no specific work to do, Kim Haoyu decided to continue to carry out tasks that did not require the assistance of other staff. Pulling his phone out of his pocket, he found a number he didn't often contact and dialed it
"Hello? Is it so-jin xi? Yes, it's me. Haha~ I also wish you a great musical performance! I've been there for you before. Now I need your help with something, do you have time in a while, we will meet and talk in detail..."
Kim Ho-woo walked towards the parking lot while making a phone call.
