Chapter 49 Jiang Hudong treats guests

A large black nanny car drove on the main road of Seongnam-gu, Seoul, and in September, the temperature began to heat up, although it was evening, but the heat outside seemed to be able to penetrate the car window, and this temperature was also heating up Girls' Generation, and KBS's "Two Days and One Night".

Posters of nine girls who are still a little young are all over the streets, and some video stores have put up large and exquisite posters, S.M is very skilled in such publicity, and since their debut, they have been playing songs and shows, and their popularity has become more and more popular.

On the first Sunday of September, the average rating of "Two Days and One Night" surpassed that of "Infinite Challenge", which aired on Saturday, and this time it was not KBS that saw the hope of catching up with MBC's wild variety show, but that "Infinite Challenge" had a sense of urgency, and the long-standing number one position may be easy for him.

Lee Jae-min pulled the curtains of the car and picked up the documents next to him again, it seemed that it was the information of Jeonju Minyeon Life Plaza, the upper four floors of the shopping center, after two months of re-planning and investment promotion, all opened in early August.

In less than a month, a bustling commercial district with Minyeon Life Plaza as the center and several surrounding streets has been formed in Jeonju City, and of course, Minyeon Shopping Center has benefited the most.

As a leader of a business and a leader of the entire business, Lee Jae-min must know every piece of data well, so that in the event of an emergency, he can quickly formulate a response strategy, and these data are also related to whether this model can be successfully replicated in other cities......

"In Minoppa, there are calls coming in."

Park Shenjing heard the mobile phone ringing behind her, and she didn't stop for a long time, she used the rearview mirror to see Lee Jae-min looking at the document in a daze, and after reminding him, she saw him connect the phone, smiled and whispered to the mobile phone for a while before hanging up the phone, and asked, "Is it Yuna or Zhaoxi?" ”

"It's Yuna, they." Lee Jae-min hung up the phone and was about to throw the phone in the rearview mirror, and the woman clearly wrote the words "very gossipy" on her face, "Weishenme said it was Zhaoxi? ”

"Hehe~" Park Shenjing was not frightened, pursed her lips and said, "Last month's birthday, but Zhaoxi went to LF company alone with a cake, if it wasn't for something in the company that day, I would have stayed...... This stupid girl, she doesn't talk about the agent when she goes out, and she doesn't even bring an assistant......"

"She texted her that day to ask where she was, and I replied to her directly in the company. There was a blessing text message in the morning, I didn't expect her to come over in person, I just received a call from Brother Hae Zhong, there was something wrong with Minyan Life Plaza, I missed it when I rushed to Jeonju, didn't I tell you many times. ”

"So-hee really wants to have a brother like you......" Park Shin-jeong's eyes moved from the rearview mirror, "Yoon-a, they're calling again, it's been so long." ”

"Well, they've been feeling a little guilty about not being able to come over last month for my birthday. Just made a successful debut, and the notice that S.M arranged for them is eager to let them sleep and eat on the show, where is there a little free time. Lee Jae-min closed the documents and threw them aside, and when Minyeon's Life Square was on the right track in the future, he could relax easily, he grabbed his mobile phone and looked at the time and said, "Besides, even if they have time that day, I will go to Jeonju." It's almost 7 o'clock, can you make it? ”

"It's not too late, it'll be there in half an hour." Park Shin Jeong's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a complaining voice, "Don't drink too much alcohol in Minoppa." ”

"No, it won't. Today I have a treat in Brother Hudong, and they will also come in Brother Shi, I am not too familiar with Brother Hudong, and no one should come to pour me wine. Thinking of the state when he woke up the next day after a hangover, Lee Jae-min felt a faint headache.

"Two Days and One Night" was a big hit, Jiang Hudong invited a lot of friends to celebrate, of course, he would not leave Liu Zaishi, when he received the invitation, Lee Jaemin was also stunned for a moment, because except for that "X-MAN", he and Jiang Hudong have not met a few times, and can only be regarded as ordinary friends in the artist circle.

Zuihou thinks about it, it is estimated that Liu Jae-seok proposed it to Jiang Hudong, after all, there will be many insiders coming over for such a gathering, and he can take the opportunity to expand some contacts, but Lee Jae-min is not very keen on this.

The place to treat is on the third floor of the barbecue restaurant, and the time is set at 8 o'clock, so it's polite to arrive early, but not too early.

At around 7:40, Lee Jae-min arrived at the barbecue restaurant, which was a private party, and everyone knew the location, so there was no one to greet him.

As soon as I walked to the second floor, the door of the box opened on the side, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man walked out of it, it was Kim Hyun-so, the director of S.M Company, and he was followed by 12 people including Little, Kim Hee-cheol, Han Geng, and Qiang-in of the SJ group.

"Hello!" After meeting before, Lee Jae-min stopped stepping on the steps, turned around and leaned forward slightly to say to Kim Hyun-so.

A few days ago, at the 14th K-Pop Entertainment Awards held in Seoul, SJ won the New Age Artist of the Year Award and the Best Boy Group Award. Thinking that they were celebrating here, they should have come over a long time ago, and after eating at this time, SJ followed Kim Hyun-so out of the big box.

Just as Kim Hyun-so nodded and opened his mouth to say something, a series of footsteps came from the stairs behind Lee Jae-min, and when he saw the person who came up, Kim Hyun-so's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Hello, Director Kim Young-min!" Seeing the people coming up from downstairs, SJs led by Kim Hee-cheol and Litt all bowed down one after another.

Lee Jae-min also followed and said, "Hello! ”

"Hello. If you perform well, don't be proud, work harder. Kim Young-min didn't seem to see Kim Hyun-so in front of him, he nodded and encouraged SJ, and then said to Lee Jae-min, "Hello." ”

"Girls' Generation is also doing well, the album has sold more than 50,000 copies......" Kim Hyun-so stood in the middle of the aisle, without the slightest intention of giving way, SJ has a total of 12 people, and the aisle is full, and he said in a low voice, "I hope they can develop better!" ”

"They're going to be better." Kim Young-min replied lightly, he should have booked a box on the second floor, and seeing that Kim Hyun-so had been blocking the spot with SJ, he coughed softly and said, "Little, you take them back to the company." ”

They took a look at Kim Hyun-so, and seeing that his face had not changed, they bowed down again to say goodbye, and then turned sideways past Kim Young-min.

"Hello, Director! Let's go back first! Kim Hee-cheol paused when he passed in front of Kim Young-min, and Zuihou also deliberately said to Lee Jae-min on the side, "In Min-min, we met again, and the girlhood's debut song "Shijie Reunion" is very good. ”

Lee Jae-min frowned after hearing this, and then flattened out, he looked at Kim Hee-cheol and replied, "Xiexie." ”

Kim Hyun-so's eyes were originally on Kim Young-min, and when he heard Kim Hee-cheol's words, his eyes flashed a hint of strangeness, he turned his head and looked at Lee Jae-min again, and then passed by Kim Young-min and walked slowly downstairs.

"Why are you here? Do you have time, I just invited a friend over for dinner, or you come along. Kim Young-min looked back at Kim Hyun-so's back, and when he turned his head, a smile already appeared on his face, "I didn't thank you, Xiexie, for making such a suitable song for Girls' Generation!" ”

Lee Jae-min replied with a smile when he heard this, "Director Xiexie! However, today is Brother Hudong's treat, and it is on the third floor. ”

"Oh, it's Hudong's treat, hehe, "Two Days and One Night" is the general trend, I believe it won't be long before it can be side by side with MBC's "Infinite Challenge".

"Governor. Recently, there have been some more rumors on the Internet. Lee Jae-min thought about it for a while, and still felt that it was better to say this, after all, after reading these contents, he always felt that something was wrong, although posts with this kind of content would quickly be brushed into the bottom of the Internet ocean, "Some people posted that S.M praised Girls' Generation and squeezed out two announcements that were supposed to be arranged for TVXQ and SJ at the end of last month......"

"It's just some rumors, maybe it's some small tricks played by someone." Kim Young-min waved his hand to interrupt Lee Jae-min's words, his face full of confidence, "You go upstairs, my guests should have already arrived in the room." ”

Seeing Kim Young-min disappear into the box door, Lee Jae-min also shook off this unpleasant feeling, and he understood that the person Kim Young-min mentioned was Kim Hyun-so who left with SJ just now.

Some things are not as secret as S.M admits they are, and the matter of Kim Hyun-so and Kim Young-min was revealed on the Internet some time ago.

Lee so-man, the head of S.M, has gradually retired into the background in recent years, and the company has decided to elect a capable director from the top to serve as the president of S.M, and the two most promising of them are Kim Hyun-so and Kim Young-min.

It just so happened that the company had a girl group project called Girls' Generation, and this project became a bargaining chip for the two of them to compete for the position of president, and after operation, Kim Hyun-so took charge of the planning of Girls' Generation with the support of most of the senior management. If there is no accident, the position of president will fall to him soon after his girlhood debut.

However, I don't know that because of Weishenme, Kim Hyun-so and Chairman Lee so-man had some disputes, and Kim Young-min took the opportunity to take the position, and Lee so-man directly appointed him to replace Kim Hyun-so to be in charge of the Girls' Generation project.

Therefore, if Girls' Generation's debut is successful and popular, if this momentum continues, Kim Hyun-so may have to give up the position of president.

Lee Jae-min reached the third floor and quickly found the largest box. Although it was not a formal gathering, Jiang Hudong still invited a lot of people, and when the dinner was about to begin, there were more than 30 insiders sitting in this big box, some of whom Lee Jaemin knew, such as Liu Zaishi, Lu Hongzhe, etc., and some who knew but did not have an intersection, such as Kim C, MC Meng, etc.

Among the artists, even if they are all friends, they are divided into countless large and small circles, and after everyone meets, they don't know each other and say hello to each other, and then they go to find their own circles.

Lee Jaemin was gathered around a small table with Liu Zaishi, Lu Hongzhe and others, and when the dinner was about to start, a pair of fair-skinned little hands opened the box door and walked in an unexpected person.
