The car finally stopped in front of a café in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and after getting out of the car, Kim so-jin said some details to pay attention to when meeting with Director Lee so-man, and Lee Sang-hyuk naturally responded one by one.

It's a more pure café that doesn't serve lunch or dinner, but it has a separate booth for each table, making it a great place for private meetings

When Lee Sang-hyuk entered the café, he lowered the brim of the baseball cap that Kim so-jin handed him from the car, and then the two were led by the waiter to a cubicle on the second floor.

There is no one in the compartment at the moment, and Lee Sang-hyuk is not surprised by this, after all, Lee so-man, as a director of a large company, naturally does not spend time waiting for others, and Lee Sang-hyuk, as a young junior, waits first, which is also deserved.

However, the other party obviously didn't let Lee Sang-hyuk wait for a long time, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a middle-aged man in formal clothes pushed the door and walked into the cubicle under the guidance of the waiter

Although Lee Sang-hyuk has been signing with S.M for a while, Kim so-jin has taken care of everything in the company, and speaking of which, it is really the first time that he and Lee so-man, the director of the company, have met.

Lee Sang-hyuk looked at Lee so-man slightly, and found that the rumored "tyrant" who made many artists in the company breathe was actually an ordinary-looking person, and the only thing worth noting was the small and narrow eyes, which may have been 'in the top position for a long time' and controlled the company's 'power of life and death' for many years, which looks like a different kind of majestic momentum.

Lee Sang-hyuk looked at Lee so-man slightly, and Lee so-man, who entered the door, also saw Lee Sang-hyuk clearly.

Unlike ordinary male artists, there is no makeup and no perfume. The hairstyle is neither perverse nor fancy, it is decent; There are no too many decorations on the body, and the simple shirt and slacks give people the biggest feeling that they are clean and fresh.

Oh yes, and that sunny smile. Coupled with the delicate facial features, it is easy to make people feel good.

This is Lee Sang-hyuk's first impression of Lee so-man.

Although the two have never met, Li Xiuman has naturally heard of this new star in the company who has recently become famous in the Korean e-sports circle and is sought after by countless young people.

Seeing each other at this moment, Li Xiuman couldn't help but secretly have some doubts in his heart, it was really hard for him to imagine how this kind of high school student, who looked like a big boy next door, conquered the current young generation of rebellious personalities in South Korea.

"Is this the magic of esports?" Li Xiuman's heart suddenly had such an idea.

Lee so-man also worked as a singer in his early years, and later transformed into a producer, and later established the entertainment company "S.M-Entertainment" with the accumulated funds. He also has an understanding of young people's pursuit of worship, and at this moment, when he thinks of e-sports in South Korea, those doubts in his heart can't help but disappear

Lee Sang-hyuk's appointment to meet Lee so-man has always been Kim so-jin's thread, and seeing Lee so-man go to the appointment on time at this moment, she naturally greeted her with enthusiasm, "Thank you so much, director!" It's great that you're here! ”

"Miss Jin is polite." Lee so-man's attitude was very easy-going, and his gaze crossed Kim so-jin to look at Lee Sang-hyuk and said. "This is Sanghyuk."

"Teacher Li Xiuman, hello!" Lee Sang-hyuk bowed slightly. Very polite greeting.

Among Lee so-man's several identities, he is most satisfied with the music producer who has achieved great success, so Lee Sang-hyuk's "teacher" can be regarded as calling his heart, and Lee Sang-hyuk's name is naturally because Kim so-jin "pointed out" outside the door in advance.

"Okay, sit down!" Li Xiuman waved his hand with a smile on his face, and then took the lead in taking a seat, after all, he was the oldest of the three. Naturally, he had to wait for him to take a seat first.

After all three of them were seated, the waiter came up at the right time and ordered coffee for each of them

"The future is terrifying, I didn't expect Sanghyuk to achieve so much at a young age." Li Xiuman said with a smile with a sigh.

"You've won a prize." Lee Sang-hyuk immediately got up modestly and said.

"No, no." Li Xiuman smiled disapprerovingly and said, "When I was your age, I was still struggling to think about how to launch my first song." ”

"Don't say that, Director. It's not the same time now, this kid Sanghyuk will be proud. Although Kim so-jin said this on the side, there was a look of 'honor' in her tone

After a simple greeting, the topic was finally slowly introduced to the topic.

"Sanghyuk, you created an e-sports club" Li Xiuman took a sip of coffee, frowned slightly, rubbed his fingers against the cup and said, "The company's board of directors still has some objections to the proposal to inject capital. ”

After Lee Sang-hyuk heard Li Xiuman's words, he didn't rush to say anything, but lowered his eyelids slightly, and then raised his head and said with an unchanged face, "However, I think you should already have an idea, teacher." ”

Li Xiuman raised his head and glanced at Lee Sang-hyuk in a slightly surprised manner, and found that Lee Sang-hyuk was suddenly looking at him without the slightest shy away, the two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly smiled at each other.

"Not bad" Lee so-man glanced at him with appreciation, not knowing whether he was saying that Lee Sang-hyuk was good or that Lee Sang-hyuk was good.

"Thank you!" Lee Sang-hyuk was disrespectful this time.

"The cake of e-sports is very large, although our company did not have the idea of developing in this area before, but it may not be impossible to innovate and make breakthroughs." Li Xiuman pondered for a while, and finally said his thoughts, "I personally am in favor of the company's capital injection, but in terms of shares and management"

"I invested 200 million in shares, as well as my reputation, accounting for 51%!" Lee Sang-hyuk suddenly spoke.

Li Xiuman raised his head in some surprise, and looked seriously at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as his son who had just entered high school, but he did not immediately express his attitude.

The brief silence between the two sides made the atmosphere in the small compartment seem a little quiet for a while.

Kim so-jin, who was sitting on the side, had been working at S.M for a long time, and at this moment, in the face of the silence of the company's rumored "tyrant", she didn't know how to speak for a while.

Lee Sang-hyuk felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, and he put a coin in his pocket and quietly put a coin in his palm and clenched it, calming his slightly nervous mind for a while, and then continued to speak, "The club is my hard work, and I will personally lead it to the championship, so I need a controlling stake."
