In the blink of an eye, the last days of 2008 have flown away, and in the pouring snow, the modern metropolis of Seoul has ushered in a new year. Jin Yicheng once said: 2009 must be the year of the rise of the women's group, and it is also the year when the women's group starts to catch up with the men's group and even surpass the men's group.

Li Huaiyu is convinced of this, but his focus has shifted from Naver to T.S, so he only learned from the phone that Girls' Generation's new album was officially released yesterday, and of course it was Kwon Yoo-ri who called him.

"Then should I buy a few hundred copies to help you top the sales?"

"Hundreds? Will it be too little? ”

"And how much do you want? This thing can't be eaten or done, so it takes up space at home..."Li Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "Why don't I send one to every employee of the company?" It's the year-end benefits..."

"Forget it, do I look like a man who relies on men to increase album sales? You should keep the money and find a wife! Kwon Yoo-li's tone was a little sour, but she couldn't say it explicitly, so she could only complain casually.

"Really?"

"Don't!"

"Are you sure you don't?"

"......, then buy a few thousand of them."

When Li Huaiyu heard this, he almost threw away his mobile phone in fright, and quickly stabilized his mind and yelled at the phone: "Ah! Kwon Yoo-ri, are you kidding me? What do I want a few thousand records for? I don't have a fireplace in my house, otherwise I can burn it as firewood..."

"Ah, you bastard, you dare to burn our records as firewood! I'm not done with you! ”

"A few thousand is too many. I'll buy a hundred of them another day. Wait until one day you become popular. Maybe this thing can still appreciate in value, and when the time comes, I will make a small profit, and I will invite you to dinner. ”

"That's pretty much it."

The two began to cook porridge on the phone, and when it was almost time for lunch, Li Huaiyu asked, "Do you have time at noon, do you want to have a meal together?" ”

"No, although it is not in the publicity period these days, the practice cannot be left behind. Otherwise, what if you make a mistake when the time comes? ”

"Hey, isn't it your norm to make mistakes? Is Kwon Yoo-ri who doesn't make mistakes still Kwon Yoo-ri? ”

"Ah, hang up, every time I call you, I'm not in a good mood!" Kwon yelled and hung up the phone decisively.

Li Huaiyu smiled, this is how he and Kwon Yoo-ri get along, make a small fuss, eat every once in a while, and open a movie if you have enough time; Although there are no sweet words, the atmosphere is very good and harmonious when we are together. I won't deliberately pursue anything, and I won't say anything about the alliance. Every day is relaxed and comfortable.

But he had a hunch that such a day would soon be gone away from them. Both will be busy with work, and he will have to shoulder the mission of T.S's rise, while Kwon Yoo-ri will need to take on more pressure.

The departure of wondergirls has left a big piece of cake for the girl group market, everyone is very greedy, everyone has a chance, and the biggest opportunity is obviously Girls' Generation and Kara, these two girl groups after experiencing no harvest in 2008, both want to make a gain in the new year - if you want to harvest, you must pay, there is no free lunch in the world.

Li Huaiyu suddenly felt that his original promise to Li Zhixian to let her enter the entertainment industry was a complete mistake, although this satisfied the pursuit of vanity in a woman's heart, but it hurt himself, a man who eats instant noodles alone at home even if he has a few girlfriends!

Shaking off the clutter in his head, he closed his notebook and walked out of the office.

Since you can't eat with Kwon Yoo-ri, you can only find Kim Tae-song. After coming to work at T.S for more than a week, Lee Huaiyu still can't remember the names of the heads of various departments, except for Seo Sang-min, the minister of the acting department, so Kim Tae-song brought him with him during dinner.

As we all know, in a brokerage company, in addition to the president and high-level directors at the level, the head of the performing arts department can be regarded as the third person, because whether the company's artists are popular and whether there are announcements can be made depends greatly on the ability and connections of the director of the performing arts department. Therefore, from the moment he saw Seo Sang-min, Lee Huai-woo knew that Kim Tae-song had something to say.

"The company plans to release their first official albums for Kim Sang-han and Park Quan-woo on the 8th of this month, that is, the day after tomorrow, what do you think?"

"If even the date is set, why bother asking me?"

"You are the second largest shareholder of the company, and of course you have to discuss such a major event as the launch of a new person."

Li Huaiyu smiled: "Brother Tai Song, are you praising me or am you hurting me?" You know that I have only been in this business for a few months, in terms of qualifications, how can you and Brother Xiangmin be old? In terms of experience, that's not to mention, almost zero! You have done a good job in launching artists, I just want to do what I can. ”

The so-called neat ability in his mouth is to rely on his huge network to find excellent trainees for the company, regardless of men and women, young and old, as long as he thinks it is okay, then pull into the company, as for whether he can make his debut, then I will talk about it later.

"Okay." Kim Tae-song smiled and nodded.

Xu Xiangmin took a sip of wine and said, "How have Xiaosheng and the others practiced recently?" ”

From the day Li Huaiyu entered the company, Kim Tae-song and Xu Xiangmin successively gave up their control over Quan Xiaosheng and several people, not that they didn't pay attention to it, but handed them over to Li Huaiyu, as for the reason for this, maybe it was tacit understanding, maybe it was deliberate, no one can say.

"It's okay." Li Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "Although Zhien was the latest to enter the company, her basic skills were as solid as Xiaosheng's, and she quickly kept up with the progress of the practice; Shanhua, this kid is a little nervous, I think it's better to develop in the direction of variety shows in the future; Ha Na is a talent, and I only recently discovered that she is very talented in music theory, and I plan to let her participate in the production of the regular series, and give her the name of 'talented girl'. ”

"It's good for you to decide these things yourself, don't forget, you're also half a person yourself!" Kim Tae-song pointed to something.

Li Huaiyu shook his head helplessly, he agreed to Li Xiuman's request because of Kwon Yoo-ri's half-threat and half-coquettishness, but he didn't expect this matter to spread quickly in the circle, and even Kim Tae-song knew his identity as the person behind the scenes, so he was relieved and boldly handed over to Quan Xiaosheng and a few people.

"I agreed with Li Haoyang, let him write a few songs and send them over when the time comes, as for the rest, I can handle it myself."

"Well, Xinshadong Tiger's composing ability is obvious to all, and if he participates in the production of zuò, our company's first girl group can't be popular if it doesn't want to be popular!"

"As an economic company, it is enough to do what they can do, and the rest is up to them." Li Huaiyu said lightly, "But I believe in them, I believe that they can bring enough benefits to the company." ”

After lunch, Li Huaiyu came to the practice room of Quan Xiaosheng and several people, of course, he would not go empty-handed, handed over the snacks that several people loved to eat, and said with a smile: "Children, I come to condolence again." ”

The eldest of the four girls is only twenty-one years old, and the youngest is only nineteen years old, and innocence is in nature, although they have only been together for a few days, but this does not prevent them from becoming close to Li Huaiyu.

Han Shanhua had already smiled, opened the bag, grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth: "Brother Huaiyu, why did you buy potato chips again when you said you wouldn't buy potato chips?" I'm getting fat, I'm looking for you..."

"You're too thin, you need more meat to look good!"

"Really? Hehe, then I'll eat more..."Han Shanhua was really a simple child, and after hearing Li Huaiyu's words, she sped up the speed of stuffing potato chips into her mouth.

"How's it going? Tired or not? Only when he looks at Quan Xiaosheng, Li Huaiyu's eyes will show the same stability as his age, because Quan Xiaosheng is a precocious girl, and if he wants to be friends with her, he must make himself mature.

"It's fine." Since receiving the scarf gift, Quan Xiaosheng's mood has changed a lot, at least in terms of title, she will no longer call Li Huaiyu 'Mr. Li', but her words are as concise and clear as ever.

"If you're tired, rest more, your body isn't fit to practice dancing for a long time, you know this best."

"Yes, thank you."

Before leaving the practice room, Li Huaiyu suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "By the way, Xiaosheng, have you ever worked in a musical instrument shop?" ”

Quan Xiaosheng was stunned: "Musical instrument line? Where are the musical instruments? ”

"Nakwon-ro in Insa-dong."

"Nope." Quan Xiaosheng said with great certainty.

No?

That's strange, Li Huaiyu thought to himself, I didn't find any tricks when I asked Brother Yicheng to check last time, and it's not a place where Xiaosheng worked, so how could that boss know me?

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered something, you guys practice hard, I'll go first." (To be continued......)
