At a café near Hongdae, Choi Jung-won met Kim Hyo-jin.
After many days of not seeing her, she became more emaciated. The long, straight hair has become fluffy due to carelessness, and the skin has lost its former luster and looks dull. In the quiet café, there is only some sound of spoons and cups colliding when the two of them occasionally drink coffee.
After a long time, Kim Hyo-jin couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere and spoke. "I'm sorry, Mr. Chang, I let you down".
When she said this, she could be seen with an apologetic expression on her face. Speaking of which, she does need daoqian. Because of her decision to quit, she not only failed Cui Zhengyuan's cultivation, but also caused scars that were difficult to save for the four sisters.
Cui Zhengyuan put down the spoon and said, "It's nothing, if you want to say who is right and who is wrong, I am also responsible." This is the case when you are forcibly put together without taking into account your actual situation."
"No, General Manager, you can give us such opportunities and conditions, and the sisters are very grateful to you." Hearing Choi Jung-won's blame, Kim Hyo-jin hurriedly defended him. Except for Cui Zhengyuan, no one will give them such a chance to make them so close to their debut.
"In the beginning, I was also full of confidence. I feel that with my talent in music, I can break into the world with my sisters." Kim Hyo-jin told the story of her heart.
Cui Zhengyuan nodded in agreement, "That's right, when I first met you." You're very confident. speaks and does things vigorously, and at first glance she is a heroine among women." As he spoke, he remembered the scene when he first saw this babbling girl, and couldn't help but smile.
Kim Hyo-jin smiled bitterly and slowly stirred the coffee in the cup. "yes, I thought I was so great that I wanted to get ahead. At that time, I felt that there was nothing I couldn't do."
"You are already amazing, and there is no girl as talented as you in this circle." Cui Zhengyuan looked at her and said word by word.
felt the affirmation of Liliang in Cui Zhengyuan's words, and every word was as intimate as a bosom friend. Kim Hyo-jin can't remember how long it has been since no one praised her so much. In my recent memories, I have been dragging others down.
Barely controlling her emotions, Kim Hyo-jin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "General Manager, I hope you can approve my withdrawal application." I really don't want to hold my sisters down any longer."
She said this categorically, and there was no room for manoeuvre. After saying this, she realized that the pressure on her body suddenly lightened, and the dark clouds that had been imprisoned around her for many days had all dispersed, and the warm feeling of being surrounded by the sun had finally returned. It turns out that you can be so happy to give up.
Cui Zhengyuan nodded slightly, "Since it was caused by my mistake, there is no need for you to bear the pressure." In the future, you still follow Director Han Chenghao to concentrate on making music, and when you want to stand on the stage, I will arrange for you to make your solo debut."
Speaking of this, Cui Zhengyuan stared into her eyes and said solemnly: "This is my personal promise to you, which is valid forever."
Kim Hyo-jin smiled, as bright as a flower. Cui Zhengyuan's promise relieved all of her worries. To be honest, this time she wanted to quit, and the thing she was most worried about was that Cui Zhengyuan would be annoyed and angry and expel her. If this is the case, it will be an irreparable disaster for Kim Hyo-jin, who is committed to music.
In the Korean entertainment industry, there is an invisible rule that other entertainment companies will not accept trainees who have been fired. Digging corners and quitting yourself don't count, and there are reasons for this.
But being expelled can only mean that there is a problem with the character of this trainee, and he will no longer be recognized in the circle. Therefore, it is not easy for Korean entertainment companies to do anything to fire trainees. After all, life is not easy, and there is no need to rush to exterminate. Of course, just because you can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it.
Cui Zhengyuan rubbed his brows and said angrily: "You are comfortable, do you know how much trouble you have given me?" When you quit, there is no suitable person in the company to fill the vacancy. It is not known how long it will take for the reorganization to be completed. The time lost will be counted on your head."
Without any worries, Kim Hyo-jin regained her cheerfulness, and begged for mercy: "Executive, people know that something is wrong." Otherwise, at most, the songs I write in the future will require a little less copyright fee."
"Hmph, I'm not that stingy. Your little copyright fee, this executive is not eye-catching for the time being. When you come up with the Divine Comedy, I'll scratch it again, so that there will be more oil and water."
"Wow"! Kim Hyo-jin exclaimed exaggeratedly. "Tut-tut, I usually haven't seen it, I don't think of such a handsome and handsome executive Cui, who is also an evil capitalist."
Cui Zhengyuan raised his eyebrows, a look of Lao Tzu is such a jiashi. "Do you have an opinion? Why don't you compensate me now?"
He ignored one point and always regarded Kim Hyo-jin as a little girl. Unexpectedly, Kim Hyo-jin was already a twenty-one-year-old adult at this time. And no matter how high his position is, he is just a seventeen-year-old hairy boy.
In the face of his ridicule, Kim Hyo-jin had no pressure and directly treated him in the same way.
Pitifully pinched the thin backpack, and said with a bitter face: "General manager, you also saw it." I'm a poor student now, penniless. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay your losses, and if I can, why don't I make a personal promise?" As he spoke, he deliberately pulled the collar with his hand, and his shoulders were slightly exposed, showing his sexiness to Cui Zhengyuan.
"Ahem, cough, cough", Cui Zhengyuan's breathing was chaotic, causing the coffee to choke on his nose. Tears, snot, and saliva all gushed out at once, and it was so embarrassing and embarrassing.
It took a long time before it calmed down. Now he finally knows the ferocity of mature women, and the result is that since then he no longer dares to casually flirt with women older than him.
It's easy to get back a little bit of the situation from Choi Jung-won, and Kim Hyo-jin's smiling image is gone. is different from her sexiness on the stage and her strength in the show, but in private she is very much in line with the standards of a talented woman, that is, she is intellectual enough. She has always been gentle and elegant, and it is the first time in recent times that she has been so happy.
embarrassed in front of the beauties, Cui Zhengyuan has no face. has always kept a straight face, and didn't dare to look at Kim Hyo-jin's playful gaze.
The long-term pampered life has slowly changed the essence of the businessman in his previous life, and it is more of the pride of the children of the family. The habit of having a good face has long been ingrained, and anything that disgraces him will remember it for a long time.
Kim Hyo-jin rolled her eyes, and realized that if she continued to be embarrassed like this, maybe Choi Jung-won would smash the table and leave. Then he changed the subject and said: "That, Chang, you just talked about the problem of substitutions. I have a suitable candidate here, how about I recommend it to you"?
Cui Zhengyuan's eyes looked away, pretending to be very serious, "Let's talk about it."
Kim Hyo-jin began to detail the other candidates. As early as when she decided to quit, she had actually thought about the successor. Since there is no suitable one within the company, she recommends it again at this time, which can be regarded as making up for her own mistakes.
The girl she was talking about, the same age as her, was her college classmate. According to Kim Hyo-jin, this classmate of hers is much more beautiful than her, and his voice is also unique. Even the dancing strength she studied in the university dance club is only stronger than her.
Hearing her say this, Cui Zhengyuan's interest was seduced. Anyway, there is no suitable candidate at the moment, and it would be a great help if that girl was really as good as Kim Hyo-jin said. "When will I see that girl"?
Since Kim Hyo-jin proposed an appointment, of course, she had already prepared for it. "She's in the school right now, and she'll be here in five minutes."
Five minutes later, Cui Zhengyuan looked at the girl standing in front of him and couldn't help but be in a trance. Is this considered a lost mulberry harvest?
Kim Hyo-jin greeted her classmates cordially, "Come, Hyo-jin, sit here, and I'll introduce you." This handsome guy is our company's executive director, artistic director, Mr. Choi Jung-won."
"Executive, this is the classmate I told you about ......."
Without waiting for Kim Hyo-jin to continue, Choi Jung-won stretched out his hand and shook the girl lightly. smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Park Hyo-jin, I have admired the name for a long time."
This girl is also called Hyo-jin, but her name is Park Hyo-jin, and she was later taken in by Kim Hyo-jin. He also debuted as a member of the B.E.G. group, and his stage name is Narsha. Looking at this delicate face, Choi Jung-won secretly regretted that he should have thought that Narsha was Jea's classmate.
Park Hyo-jin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Executive Choi, have you heard of my name?" In her thoughts, how could a big man like Choi Jung-won know that she was such an ordinary college student.
Choi Jung-won called out her name, not because she was Narsha.
In fact, Choi Jung-won really knows such a person, Park Hyo-jin is a member of the Hongdae Free Dance Troupe, and he is very famous among underground artists. Many of the company's music producers and trainees usually hang out with their dance troupe.
"Hehe, the famous Narsha, it's hard for people who play music to think about it." Cui Zhengyuan complimented.
Park Hyo-jin is also very happy to be recognized by a big man like Choi Jung-won. The embarrassment of meeting for the first time was slightly alleviated, and the chatter began to be in full swing.
To get to the point, Kim Hyo-jin talked about recommending her to join the preparatory girl group. Choi Jung-won also said that he was very optimistic about Narsha's prospects and invited her to join.
If you're not optimistic, Narsha can be said to be the most famous of the B.E.G group, even if it's a beautiful woman, it's a little inferior. And in terms of all-round development, she also has to do better than Kim Hyo-jin. has good singing and dancing strength, a strong sense of artistic ability, and open, with a childish and sweet appearance, he is completely an ideal candidate for the girl group.
In order not to burden Park Hyo-jin, Kim Hyo-jin and Choi Jung-won tacitly did not reveal the fact that she was filling the vacancy that Kim Hyo-jin had withdrawn.
After being in the dance troupe here in Hongdae for so long, Park Hyo-jin also realized that this was not a way, and there was no future at all. She is very confident in herself, and she is also thinking about whether to find an entertainment company for an interview and strive to make her debut as an artist.
It happened that the pillow came to sleep, and Kim Hyo-jin took care of it in the A.P company. It's better to be raw than cooked, the two sides hit it off, and Park Hyo agreed to Choi Jung-won's invitation on the spot.
Calculate the time, and all the trainees in the seventh year of junior high school will come back to class. There wasn't much time left for Park Hyo-jin, so Choi Jung-won told her to go back as soon as possible to deal with chores and report to the company the day after tomorrow. Liu Renna's women's group is about to debut in less than two years, and there is very little time left for them to enhance their strength, so they must hurry up.
Seeing off Park Hyo-jin, Kim Hyo-jin smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen a general manager and you added someone to the company without an assessment."
"I don't need to be assessed for her at all, I have long known her strength, but I haven't had time to contact her. This time it is thanks to you, and the company has another point of strength. Otherwise, she will be poached by other companies, and I will cry."
"It's good to be helpful to the company, I owe so much to the company, it's more or less my heart." Kim Hyo-jin is still haunted by her incompetence.
"Don't think so, there are no incompetent people on this shijie, only people who don't find the right position. Now that you don't have anything else to worry about, you have to take it a step further in composition. Otherwise, you will be surpassed by that little guy of Zhilong", Cui Zhengyuan comforted.
It's okay not to mention Quan Zhilong, but when he mentions Kim Hyo-jin, he is full of grievances. "You said where did you find such a demon from a young age, how can you understand music so well. Now several teachers in the music production department are almost unable to teach him. I think in a few years, he will be the chief music producer of our company."
Cui Zhengyuan said in his heart, can I tell you how evil Quan Zhilong is? At the age of less than 20, he became one of the top ten music producers in Korea. How can you people understand now, you are all mortals, mortals.
"You can't say the same, the little guy is just good at hip-pop. Our company's music is to be diversified, and it is impossible to say who is more powerful. For example, your spell-style electronic music seems a bit difficult to understand to people nowadays. But maybe it will become popular one day in the future, so don't be presumptuous, just focus on being yourself."
Choi Jung-won's words strengthened Kim Hyo-jin's confidence and made her more persistent in her unique musical path. A.P advocates a liberal music path, with both Han Sung-ho's rock and roll and Jung Jae-hyung's lyricism. Leessang's hip-hop style has also taken shape, and PSY's saliva style is slowly hitting the road.
While diversity has enriched the company's philosophy, the clash of ideas between the various musicians has also increased. As a junior, her survival in it is even more difficult. Now, with Cui Zhengyuan's Shang Fang Sword, no one will point fingers at her anymore.
