Chapter 99 Doesn't Attract Me
Soon the three uncles got together to "plan". First, they wanted Zheng Xiuheng to invest, and the position of president must be given to him. The three of them would also work in the company and take on some actual management positions, but the debut planning of the company's singers must be left to Zheng Xiuheng himself. The three of them could execute, but the planning must be done by him, especially the positioning design of the album's title song, which must be done by him before it can come to them.
In addition, if there is to be a trainee selection meeting, Zheng Xiuheng must also attend in person, etc.
Anyway, the idea of the three people is to let Zheng Xiuheng get as close as possible to music-related work in the name of management, but at the same time not to make it too obvious.
As for the development of the company, just follow Zheng Xiuheng's ideas. They will work hard anyway. After all, it will not affect their own work.
Zheng Xiuheng had no idea that the three uncles were plotting against him at this moment, and were fighting to get him to return to the path of music.
At the same time, several other people were discussing the battle plan.
"Taeyeon, what can you do?"
"Uh! No!"
"Unnie, are you kidding me?"
"No, no, I just want to get to know Senior Shouheng so that I can formulate a battle plan!"
In the cafeteria, Kim Taeyeon, Jung Soo-hyung, Choi Sulli, and Hwang Mi-young are eating together more and more often, and they have become accustomed to it in the past few days.
Krystal Jung was speechless when she saw Kim Taeyeon's serious expression. Although she agreed with Taeyeon's idea, she thought it was a bit too nonsensical.
"What's wrong, Soojung?" Kim Taeyeon asked curiously when she saw Krystal Jung sitting opposite her in a daze.
Zheng Xiujing shook her head and replied seriously, "Ouni, tell me the truth. Although I support your spirit and ideas, I don't think you are a good person at all. After all, you and Xiuheng brother just met. Besides, Ouni seems to have only heard Xiuheng brother play once? Is it necessary to do this?"
Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, and then she also replied sincerely: "Actually, I know that I am a little whimsical, but I really like the way my senior performs and his music. The teacher also said at the time that the performer is very, very good and he also wants to meet him. I don't think my senior gave up music because he has no ability. If it is for work, I think he will definitely earn more by becoming a musician..."
"So...I don't think we can just stand there and watch!"
"Taeyeon, when did you become so great?" Huang Miying asked blankly, looking at Kim Taeyeon's sincere face and the enthusiasm in her eyes, she was really surprised. She had known Taeyeon for quite a while, but she had never seen such a sincere Taeyeon. Under normal circumstances, Taeyeon always seemed plain, and occasionally she would go crazy and play with herself, but it was rare to see her showing that sincere and persistent expression.
"Ouni, I support you!" Choi Sulli excitedly raised her hand to express her opinion.
Krystal was also very surprised when she saw the serious Kim Taeyeon, and at the same time she felt very uneasy inside, because in her eyes, her brother gave up so many things and joined the gang for her and her sister.
Kim Taeyeon found her a few days ago and wanted to know something about Jung Soo-heng. Krystal was very wary at first, but when she heard Kim Taeyeon say that she hoped to help her senior and get him to play the piano again, she was immediately shocked, but this idea coincided with hers.
But Krystal Jung was very confused. Why did senior Kim Taeyeon come up with such an idea?
This little suspicion dragged on for a few days, and today when Kim Taeyeon asked her again, Krystal Jung felt that she was serious and her purpose seemed very simple.
In fact, Kim Taeyeon was also a little nervous. Although she made such an unreasonable decision that day, she didn't know what to do after waking up.
Kim Taeyeon is not stupid. She knows very well that her senior has no intention of getting close to her. How can she change someone who is better than a stranger?
But Kim Taeyeon didn't want to give up, so she thought of Zheng Xiuheng's neighbor's sister Zheng Xiujing. One person's strength is weak, so it's right to find help.
Zheng Xiujing looked a little disappointed, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking. The three people at the table were looking at her, and Jin Taeyeon also had some expectations.
But at this moment, Huang Meiying remembered something and suddenly asked, "Xiao Shuijing, do you know what Shouheng senior does for a living? Is he a policeman?"
"Ah, why do you ask that, unnie? " Krystal raised her head, put away her sad expression, and asked curiously.
Huang Miying looked around and saw that there was no one else sitting around, so she stretched her neck and whispered about what Li Huanxi saw Zheng Xiuheng that day.
Then……
"How can this be possible!"
“Bang!”
The soup spoon in her hand fell into the plate with a slight sound, and then Zheng Xiujing screamed with red eyes, suddenly jumped out of the chair and ran hurriedly towards the cafeteria door.
"Crystal, little Crystal!"
“Xiu-jung!”
"What's wrong with her?" Huang Miying asked in surprise, not understanding what she said wrong. She was just curious about what senior Zheng Shouheng did for a living, and she was also worried about Taeyeon.
"I don't know, but let's follow and see!" Kim Taeyeon said a little nervously. Looking at Sulli who had already stood up and ran, she also hurriedly left her seat.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Huang Meiying watched the three of them run away, leaving four unfinished plates on the table. She carefully raised her head and looked at the strange gaze cast by the kitchen aunt who was eating not far away. Huang Meiying could only laugh dryly and pull all four plates in front of herself.
Looking at the food in front of her, Huang Miying wanted to cry. You know, in the company, it's not that someone will wash the dishes for you after you finish your meal, nor can you just throw away the food you can't finish. Although these will not be included in the personal score, some employees in the company will spread bad things privately, which is a big blow to a person's character.
It is easy to hide from the King of Hell but hard to deal with little devils. You never know when you become famous, the media will report something like "according to SM insiders" about you.
At this moment, not much food was eaten from the four plates. If they were thrown away, it would definitely be a waste. So Huang Meiying looked at her friends who had completely disappeared from the cafeteria, and could only hold the fearless spirit of a martyr and pick up the spoon...
Opening...
"You know Yoo Hee Yeol and the others? And you want to invest in Antenna Music?"
Lee Hyori asked with some surprise. She had thought of Zheng Xiuheng's many identities, but she never thought that he was actually related to this circle.
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and said, "The investment is still under discussion and has not been finalized. But if you can join, I believe there will be greater development. There are musicians like Yoo Hee-yeol and Jung Jae-hyung. Except for the promotion ability is not as good as that of big companies, the production ability is not bad. Starting a business is definitely not without any benefits for you. You should know this!"
Lee Hyo-ri frowned and thought carefully about what Zheng Xiuheng said. She also agreed with the concept of starting a business. This was nothing strange. With her current worth and status, it was indeed the best time to start a business. Even if she joined a small company, she could still reap enough benefits.
But at the same time, starting a business or joining a small company does not have the promotional power of a large company, such as endorsements, and will definitely lose a lot unless you can maintain that terrifying popularity. But even so, you still have to consider the obstacles of competing companies.
To put it bluntly, if you start a business now, it means you are sacrificing immediate benefits in exchange for so-called freedom and future possibilities. After all, most artists rely on their youth to make a living. Lee Hyori is very clear about her situation. Even if she doesn't want to admit it, there is nothing she can do. Her acting skills are "average" and her singing skills are so-so. She should thank DSP and the title song "Ten Minutes" of her first solo album for her current status.
Zheng Xiuheng's proposal was a good one. To cooperate with Antenna Music, with Zheng Xiuheng investing and himself investing as a shareholder, plus the signing fee of 800 million, to be honest, Lee Hyori was not opposed to it.
Like most people, once you gain fame and fortune, what you pursue will change. Just like in Korea now, when people talk about Lee Hyori, they will say that she is sexy and a queen-like figure in the music industry.
However, if we really talk about singing skills, she will definitely not be ranked at the top. Although few people say these things given Lee Hyori's popularity, such attention is unavoidable. She didn't care about it before, but as her popularity and status grew, she gradually began to care about things like reputation.
So Lee Hyori slowly began to get involved in album production, learning lyrics, composition and music production.
It is a common phenomenon in the entertainment industry that good singers can also act, so Lee Hyori has also tried to act in film and television dramas. Although the ending was glamorous, she still took the comments of netizens and the ratings into consideration.
Of course, the flaws do not outweigh the merits, and no one will deny Lee Hyori's value because of these things, but Lee Hyori herself is pursuing more.
So Zheng Xiuheng's proposal did make her a little tempted, but this was not enough to make her give up better options and start a business.
"If that's all, then I'm sorry. Although I respect musicians like Yoo Hee Yeol, and even though you're good at business and rich, these aren't enough to convince me to start a business with you guys. And although Antenna Musicians are great, their style doesn't appeal to me!"
"Finally... apart from these, what you can offer is too little. If the signing bonus is increased to 1 billion, I will consider it. You should at least offer something to attract me. If the business fails, it will not be a joke to me. The heyday of a star will not last too long!"
