Chapter III: Employment
There are two people in the room, across the thick desk, a middle-aged man about 40 years old, fair-skinned, quite handsome, sitting on the office chair, it is Kim Young-min, the president and representative director of South Korea's S.M Entertainment Co., Ltd., a man in his forties, with white glasses, quite majestic sitting on the sofa chair, he is the first shareholder of S.M Entertainment Company, Li Xiuman, who has many titles such as "tyrant" and "godfather". The two giants of the company are here, and it seems that they must have been discussing something before.
"Hello president, hello director, I am Xu Ning, and it was Director Cui of the company who recommended me to interview for work." Xu Ning saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly, not rude, but also not flustered. In his previous life, there was a national party building demonstration site, and a large number of leaders came to visit and study every year, including ministers, prime ministers and even general secretaries.
Li Xiuman glanced at him with his eyes and nodded, "Hmm!" After a while, Jin Yingmin smiled slightly: "Hello, Director Cui has already told me about your matter, and I have also communicated with Director Li, what about your recommendation letter?" ”
"Here." Xu Ning hurriedly handed over the letter of recommendation in his hand. In addition to the recommendation letter written by Director Cui, there is also his personal resume.
Jin Yingmin looked at his resume, looked at Xu Ning again, and handed the resume in his hand to Li Xiuman, Li Xiuman opened it and read it quickly, but there was a trace of surprise in his heart, although it was recommended by Director Cui, but Li Cangdong, the first person who introduced him, was a person who even he had to respect and value. Originally, Xu Ning was regarded as a person who came to mix rice and eat, but from his performance to the present, Li Xiuman felt that he wanted to give him a new evaluation, this young man had a handsome face, his every move was clean and calm, his temperament was not bad, his eyes flashed with wisdom and alertness, not at all like the feeling of a young man of this age, a resume is concise and clear, no pretentiousness, no generality, beautiful pen writing neat and comfortable, in this society where printed texts are widely used, All this made Li Xiuman feel very satisfied.
Despite this, Li Xiuman didn't want to spend any more time, after all, the identities of the two were very different, and there was no need to talk nonsense. Turning to Kim Young-min, he said, "It's up to President Kim to arrange it." ”
"Okay", Jin Yingmin nodded slightly, and said: "I have discussed with Director Cui and the personnel department, and at present, all departments are very well staffed, but at present, the activity schedule of Girls' Generation is very heavy, and several assistants and Yongdeokhu (Girls' Generation's agent) are very busy, so Xu Ning can go over to help them first, stay for a while, and then make specific arrangements." ”
Li Xiuman groaned slightly, pondered for a few seconds, and said: "Okay, Xu Ning, you go back and prepare first, and you will report to the company tomorrow morning, officially work and work, and be an assistant for Girls' Generation first." ”
Although he was very surprised after hearing this information, Xu Ning still bowed down and thanked him as soon as possible: "Thank you president, thank you director, I will work hard and contribute to the prosperity and development of the company." "Say a few more good words, no matter whether you can use them in the future or not, it's always a good thing to make a good impression first, and then I don't know how much I said in my previous life.
Back home,Call and tell my sister who is still busy running the itinerary about today's situation,Xu Renying after learning that his younger brother will serve as an assistant to Girls' Generation,Repeatedly warned,Don't work hard,Don't play the previous flowery intestines,The current Girls' Generation since the release of "gee" in January,Attracted the love of thousands of fans,Accumulated huge popularity,As the staff around them,Any misconduct is easy to be attacked by those fanatical fans,Xu Renying, who is also an artist, knows the stakes, I am still quite relieved about this younger brother who was once Meng Lang's disciple.
Xu Ning, who ended the call, put the phone back on the desktop, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he was a human being in two lives, and his psychological age was almost 40 years old, where would he have that kind of thought, and there was always a figure lingering in his heart, it was the girl he loved in his previous life, the two knew each other on campus and fell in love at work, but in the end they couldn't survive the pressure of the family, Lao Yan flew apart, despite this, the delicate figure never disappeared from his heart, a smile in his memory, Even in this strange time, space and country, I can still warm my heart.
A simple dinner, a quick wash, Xu Ning lay on the bed and began to quietly recall every detail of his previous life about Girls' Generation, the combination that will work together for a period of time in the future, as an assistant, more often than the artist is responsible for handling some trivial matters, many times closer than the contact between the agent and the artist, how to seamlessly connect with the artist, is what every new assistant has to figure out by himself. Xu Ning played the role of administrative secretary for a long time in his previous life, and he was also an assistant to the leader who was almost a nanny, so he still had some experience in how to deal with these problems, but after all, in his previous life, he served all leaders with male surnames, and he was basically over the age of confusion, and it still took him a while to get used to serving a group of teenage or twenty-year-old girls.
After quiet reflection, some veins formed in Xu Ning's mind: Girls' Generation, a nine-member girl group launched by S.M Entertainment Co., Ltd. in 2007, consisting of nine female high school students aged 16 to 18, namely Kim Taeyeon, Jung so-yeon, Lee Soon-gyu, Hwang Mi-young, Kim Hyo-yeon, Kwon Yoo-ri, Choi so-young, Lim Yoon-a, and Seo Joo-hyun. In 2007, with the first group variety show "Girls Go to School" and the debut single "The World of Reunion" began to enter everyone's field of vision, the nine members have their own talents, as singers, but also as TV drama and musical actors, radio DJs, program MCs and graphic models and other fields of entertainment active in other fields. During this period, he also experienced many ups and downs in acting, the most famous of which is the three "Black Sea" incidents. But real gold is not afraid of fire, nine strong girls withstood the pressure from all sides, since the official release of the mini album "gee" on January 7 at the beginning of the year, it has set off a wave of girlish style in South Korea, including a large number of awards, although it is still in the middle of the year, but it can already be predicted that 2009 is a year of girls' generation in the Korean music industry.
The girls who can pass such a test should not be as difficult to serve as those big ladies. Xu Ning secretly comforted himself, in his previous life, he was not less criticized by some "daughters", and in the face of those commanding "ladies", he was full of "bitter tears".
The next day, Xu Ning came to S.M early, and her sister's repeated advice echoed in her ears, "Be humble in your work, ask your seniors more about things you don't understand, learn more from your seniors, and don't be careless." Greeting his colleagues.
"Hello senior" Xu Ning bowed and saluted, "I am Xu Ning, the assistant who just reported today, please give me more advice in the future." ”
Yongdeokhu looked at the young man in front of him, as the agent of Girls' Generation, that is, Xu Ning's "direct leader", his first impression of Xu Ning was not too good, the young man with a good face, his clothes were very clean and tidy, but he didn't put on any makeup on his face, so he came so unkemptly, but I heard that it was recommended by the company's director Cui, and he still didn't teach him a lesson when they met for the first time, and he was slowly hammered and tempered later.
In fact, this is Yongdeokhu wronged Xu Ning, as the dominant Chinese soul, there is an inexplicable sense of resistance to men's makeup, and on the contrary, in South Korea, even if a man goes out, he will definitely put on makeup, which is a basic courtesy in South Korea. What's more, as an artist's agency assistant, he may face the camera and fans at any time, and whether the "face" work is handled properly or not also has a great impact on the artist's image.
"Hmmm! Hello, I'm yongdeokhu, and let's take care of each other in the future and work hard together. Yongdeokhu's answer was quite polite, but the rich experience in his previous life gave Xu Ning a reminder that his superior didn't seem to be very satisfied with him.
What's going on? Xu Ning was a little confused for a while, but when Yongdeokhu walked away to arrange the itinerary for Girls' Generation, another female assistant kminjin quietly said to him: "Xu Ningxi, don't be nervous, Yongdeokhu seniors pay more attention to grooming, you came here without makeup today, it is not dignified, I will make up for you a little later." My makeup is good, I used to wear most of my makeup when I was a girl. He winked playfully as he spoke.
Uh, touching his head awkwardly, Xu Ning muttered in his heart, it seems that he really has to follow the customs of the countryside in the future, otherwise he will be enough to bear it.
