Chapter 145: Elimination Crisis
Lee Ji-hyun, Yang Ji-won, and Lee Ji-ah came to the door of the president's office Kim Kwang-so with great trepidation, and then at the suggestion of the secretary, Lee Ji-hyun first walked into the president's office.
After Lee Ji-hyun entered the office, he found Kim Kwang-so carefully cleaning up his favorite GUNPLA, and looking at Kim Kwang-so in a pretended pose, Lee Ji-hyun had no choice but to bow and greet him, "Hello, President, I'm Lee Ji-hyun." β
"Oh, Jihyun is here, sit down." Kim Kwang-so turned back to Lee Ji-hyun and said, looking easy-going, but Lee Ji-hyun didn't think that he was an easy-going person. Although Li Zhixian has not been in the company for a long time, she is not very cheerful, and she is a person who often chats with people, but she is a very careful person and a person who observes the affairs around her very carefully. As far as she knows, Kim Kwang-so is a possessive and controlling person, and Lee Ji-hyun is also very defensive about this president, usually trying to stay away from him if he can.
However, today is about his debut, so Li Zhixian is still very cautious, and after hearing the president's words, he responded and sat on the single sofa farthest away from his president. Looking at Lee Ji-hyun's appearance, Kim Kwang-so didn't say anything, but smiled, sat down on the sofa opposite, and said, "Ji-hyun, about today's assessment results, you should only have it, right?" β
"Yes, Director Park has already told us." Lee Ji-hyun nodded in response, saying that she already knew, but she didn't say anything else, and she decided to talk as little as possible without understanding the president's intentions.
"So what do you think?" Kim Kwang-so said with a smile on his face.
"Huh? Ideas? I would like to ask the president to give me another chance, and I will definitely do my best. To the president's question, Lee Ji-hyun replied that she really cherished this opportunity because he knew it. If I miss this opportunity, my dream of being an artist will be completely abandoned.
"Well, everybody's working on it. I have to say, Jihyun, your practice time is still too short. Kim Kwang-so still said with a smile, and hearing his words, Lee Ji-hyun chose to be silent. She didn't think that her president had called her to say this, she was waiting for the other party's next step.
Sure enough, after a while, Kim Kwang-so saw that Lee Ji-hyun didn't mean to speak, so he continued: "Of course, it's not that you're bad, you have the appearance and temperament to be the face of a group, as for singing skills or something." You can train slowly in the future. β
Hearing President Kim Kwang-so's words, Lee Ji-hyun looked up at him, thought about it slightly, and then asked, "I will definitely work hard." β
"Of course, I personally believe in you. By the way, CJ Group will have a drinking party tomorrow night......" Kim Kwang-so hadn't finished speaking, and Lee Ji-hyun had already interrupted him and said, "President." When I joined the company, the contract I signed was clearly rejecting such activities. β
Yes. The contract signed by Li Zhixian and the company has relevant terms, and it is also because of this that Li Zhixian has eaten a lot of closed-door soup before. However, Li Zhixian does not regret it, she has always insisted that she will not do such a thing, even if she loses the opportunity to make her debut. She can not fight for anything. There are many things that can be given up, but this thing has always been her insistence.
"Of course, I signed the contract, of course I know, but. You know, companies need to think about a lot of things, too. Kim Kwang-so looked at Lee Ji-hyun and said.
"I don't know about this, but I will never participate in such an event, big deal, I ...... I'm not coming out of the show. Li Zhixian insisted that she would not back down on her insistence.
"Okay, I see. Then you go out and wait for me first. After hearing Lee Ji Hyun's words, Kim Kwang so thought about it and said, Lee Ji Hyun got up and bowed slightly, and left the office. After Li Zhixian came out, Yang Zhiyuan and Li Zhiya all entered the office in turn, but they didn't stay long before they came out, and at the same time, their expressions were a little ashamed.
Finally, at the suggestion of the secretary, the three of them entered the office again, and at this time, Yang Zhiyuan and Lee Zhiya looked at Kim Kwang-so differently, and they no longer had the respect they had before. And Li Zhixian is relatively peaceful, she foresaw such a result before entering the industry, so she insisted on adding relevant clauses to her contract.
"Okay, I already know your choice, you can go back, but I hope that no one else will know about today's events, otherwise, you will never want to be in the entertainment industry." Kim Kwang-so said to the three of them, his voice was still calm, but no one would doubt his words, as long as he really wanted to ban anyone, as long as he got the support of the parent company, there would be absolutely no problem, let alone people like them who had not yet debuted.
"Yes, we know." The three of them responded, although they were very angry, but there was no way to expose such a thing, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
"Very well, Ji-hyun, I can give you one last chance. I know you have a boyfriend, you can thoroughly sort out your relationship today, and then come back to the company tomorrow morning to report. If you can't do that, you don't have to come back. Alright, you can go back. Kim Kwang-so said his final decision, he had no choice, in the combination, there must be a faΓ§ade, Lee Ji-hyun is very suitable for both appearance and temperament, so he chose Lee Ji-hyun from these three people. And Lee Ji-hyun has a boyfriend, of course Kim Kwang-so knows, but he doesn't know who the other party is, as a president with a particularly strong desire to control, he will never allow his artists to have a relationship, at least not for now.
Li Zhixian was stunned when she heard her president's words, she didn't expect such a result, but she still responded with Yang Zhiyuan and Li Zhiya: "Yes." β
The three of them left the president's office together, and after walking a distance, Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said to Li Zhixian: "Zhixian Oni, congratulations, I didn't expect that we would still be eliminated." But whether it's eliminated, it's scary to stay here. β
"yes, congratulations Ernie." Li Zhiya also said with a smile, the two of them already know the company, or their president's decision, and they will leave the company, and their dreams are getting farther and farther away from them, as for Li Zhixian's need to sort out his feelings, in their opinion, it is not a problem at all.
