Chapter 189 Official DJ
Park In-jeong, looking haggard, shook her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, President Jin Jingxu, I don't want to join the entertainment company as a trainee for the time being. I just want to stay at home with my family. Here is your check. If possible, please give me a proof. After all, President Jin Jingxu has lost the contract!"
"you!"
Jin Jingxu was very angry and annoyed at the moment. Although the contract with Park Injeong was a little special and there was a penalty for breach of contract, a breach of contract does not mean that you are in breach of contract if you ask the company to terminate the contract.
Generally speaking, when an entertainment company and a trainee want to terminate the contract, there are usually two results, depending on the situation. The first is that the trainee has no potential to be tapped and cannot meet the debut standards. The company generally will not obstruct and will let the person go directly.
The other type is when a trainee is promising but is determined to leave. In that case, the company generally won't discuss any liquidated damages, after all, trainees don't get much money when they sign a contract. But if it's clear that they want to change jobs or go to another company, then the company is entitled to collect all the training fees from the trainee period, and even if it goes to court, the money will still be paid.
The current situation of Jin Jingxu is that he did not train Park In-jeong, but only gave her 30 million in signing bonus, but now Park In-jeong wants to return it and cancel the last contract. To some extent, this is not a request that violates the regulations, unless Jin Jingxu refuses and Park In-jeong refuses to execute it.
The most important thing is that after Jin Jingxu took the file bag back last time, when he went to the company to make a copy the next day, he opened it and found that it was actually an evil magazine, and it was torn into thin pieces. He was stunned at the time.
He also ran back to the cafe to look for the document bag, but couldn't find it, so he had to call Park In-jeong, hoping to get another one. But Park In-jeong had already gone home and said that she might not be able to return to Seoul within a week because her uncle had to undergo surgery and her grandmother also needed someone to take care of her.
Jin Jingxu had nothing to say. But what he didn't expect was that after Park Injeong returned, he actually went directly to her to ask for a contract termination.
"Park Injeong-sik!"
"President Jin, I am grateful for your appreciation, but if my family hadn't needed money, I would never have agreed to join your company. Although I can't be sure, I don't believe that what happened in SM has nothing to do with you. But it's not the first time I've seen such a thing in the past few years. There are many trainees who are more unlucky than me. So even so, I still , but now it's really not possible. I don't have that kind of time. I beg President Jin to cancel our contract!"
Park Injeong replied sincerely and bowed to Kim Kyung-wook very respectfully, more than ninety degrees.
The two stood on the flower bed under the building where Jin Jingxu's company was located. Passersby would occasionally cast their eyes on them, but their glances were usually fleeting.
Jin Jingxu was very distressed and entangled at the moment. Because of the investment, he had done many things against his will. Although he was very unhappy about Lee Soo-man's abandonment of his work, before that, his way of doing things was still influenced by Lee Soo-man.
Lee Soo Man has such a strong desire for control that he is the type who wants to take the initiative at all times in his approach to things. Unless the other party is a global conglomerate or a very capable individual, he will never lower his head to talk to the other party.
But Kim Kyung-wook was quite tough when he was in SM, but after he came out and thought about his own situation, it would be strange if he didn't feel uncomfortable bowing and scraping in front of a boy who was not even 25 years old.
But when he thought of the other party's investment conditions, he felt extremely conflicted and angry. It was not because he was kind, but he knew very well that if the other party decided to invest in his company, it would not be simply because of what he had done for him. That would only be a little motivation at most. If they finally decided to invest, it must be because his company had something useful, because it was not his personal industry, but CJ's investment department.
In a larger investment company , the manager may have dozens of plans piled up on his desk. This is not just a question of whether your product or plan is good, but also about competition. Therefore, the manager's attitude plays a decisive role in the same level of plans.
"Impossible. I sympathize with your family's affairs, but since both parties have signed the contract, and the situation at the time fully demonstrates that you have considered it. Now you suddenly want to terminate the contract. I'm sorry that I can't agree to you!" Jin Jingxu said with a cold face, and his eyes became a little angry.
However, Park In-jeong replied calmly, "I have expressed my position, and the contract should be in two copies, one for each party. Although I have signed the contract, even legally, it cannot be said that the contract has been signed. When President Kim finds the contract, come and talk to me about this issue. I'm sorry, I have to catch the train back soon, so I'll take my leave first. Please take back this check!"
Park In-jeong decisively stuffed the check into Kim Kyung-wook's shirt pocket and turned away. This attitude left Kim Kyung-wook no chance to speak.
"puff!"
"What are you laughing at!" The man in a black suit sitting on the flower bed suddenly chuckled, which was obviously a mocking sound. Jin Jingxu was furious, feeling that he was being mocked by these damn office workers, so he subconsciously yelled.
Then……
"Are you talking to me?" Lin Chengyan turned his head, stood up and asked calmly. He was half a head taller than Jin Jingxu and looked very strong. The long scar on his right face made him look extremely fierce.
"Gurgle!"
"No, I didn't say anything, sorry, I was just complaining to myself!" Jin Jingxu's anger disappeared instantly, and he looked at the scarred man in front of him and replied with a dry laugh.
"Tsk, I've seen a lot of people like you. You want to follow others and keep college students, right? Look at your appearance. You really think that being rich is great. When I see people like you, I want to stab you twice. You scumbag... So disgusting!"
After watching the scarred man finish his words and leave in a cool manner, the passers-by around him all looked at Jin Jingxu.
Jin Jingxu's expression turned extremely grim. It was indeed too depressing, but the current situation was not something he could solve. God knew where the contract had gone?
"The new show is called, Zheng Xiuheng's Chicken Soup for the Soul, how about it?"
In the conference room, Zheng Xiuheng glanced at Li Zhongmin who was in a good mood, then ignored his opinion and turned to writer Li Zhimei and said, "I think we should leave the name issue to the end. Let's decide on the type of program, or should we just stick with the original method?"
"As for the format, I think it can be modified, but the general direction should still be based on the emotional urban genre, after all, it is a midnight show. However, some new elements can be inserted, but they should not be too noisy. If the ratings can rise by 0.1% a day like in the past few days, we can consider inviting some artists to be guests!"
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and said, "I won't consider guests for now, especially those who come to promote albums. It's better to ask for my opinion first, otherwise I will definitely embarrass them on the show!"
"Hey, hey, hey, stop going too far. I'm the PD!" After being ignored by the two for a long time, Lee Jong Min couldn't help but slam the table and yell.
Li Zhimei turned around and smiled: "I thought Senior was still thinking about drinking chicken soup!"
"I'm serious. And Zheng Xiuheng, can you cooperate with us? It's a good thing to have guests on the show. It will also benefit the program a lot. Why are you resisting?" Li Zhongmin asked with a dark face, and his good mood today disappeared in an instant.
There is no doubt that after the reaction after the first day of live broadcast, the relevant departments of MBC waited and watched, and the listening rate continued to rise, which finally established Zheng Xiuheng's identity as the successor DJ. He is also the fastest anchor to be promoted in the history of MBC. In the morning, he was summoned by the director and the result of this slightly ridiculous competition was quickly confirmed. Zheng Xiuheng was naturally the winner.
In fact, even if it was really Jung Soo-hyung who won the title, it would be difficult for him to become an official DJ. But maybe he and Choi Min-hee made too much noise on the first day, and even directly exposed topics such as competition for the position and special recruitment. To be honest, this topic is indeed very sensitive. Even for this, the head of the MBC Broadcasting Bureau received many questions from reporters. After all, this is a social topic.
Fortunately, with the wonderful start of Zheng Xiuheng and Cui Minxi, and the climax-filled live broadcast, many people ignored these things, and at the same time created a lot of attention.
The answer from the Broadcasting Bureau was also very perfect, leaving no room for comment. Zheng Xiuheng was specially recommended by former DJ Yoo Hee-yeol, because of the good cooperation and trust between him and Yoo Hee-yeol, and because MBC never selects employees based on their academic qualifications, Zheng Xiuheng was given a special recruitment for this reason.
As for Choi Min-hee, he is a top student from the broadcasting department of a regular university. He was specially recommended by a certain professor and a veteran broadcaster, and was recruited by MBC. As for whether there are other special issues, MBC said it is not clear.
In general, MBC was not criticized for this matter. Instead, it promoted its attitude of seeking talents and recruiting people based on their merits. In this way, Zheng Xiuheng became a typical example and also a beneficiary.
After Li Zhongmin came back, he immediately started to hold meetings and began to plan new programs, and today is the last episode of "Emotional City".
As for the new program, it will certainly not be launched tomorrow. The program plan needs to be reported and will also be reviewed by relevant departments.
But this is not a big problem. Lee Jong Min was well prepared for this gap. He had already contacted a group that debuted last year and would be a DJ for a week in conjunction with the filming of other programs, which would be exactly at midnight during this gap.
This will certainly have an impact on the ratings, but this situation is very common in TV stations. It's just that generally speaking, the window period will be basically filled, unlike this time, it's too passive and there is no time to plan. So I just thought of such a compromise two days ago. When the time comes, the program that takes the place of the show will continue to be "Emotional City", and at most the content will be changed a little.
