Li Zhuying walked quickly in the corridor of SM company with a stern look on his face. Even if a staff member passing by said hello to him from time to time, he would only reluctantly nod in response, completely losing the high-spirited look of the previous days.
Pushing open the door of the conference room, Li Zhuying saw Liu Zhuhyuk quietly communicating with colleagues from the planning department next to him. Just as he was about to speak, Jin Yingmin, who followed him through the door, signaled him to sit down for the meeting.
Today's meeting was held at short notice. Li Zhuying had been feeling very troubled by Shirley's sudden change of mood in the past two days. He originally planned to talk to her privately before reporting the situation to the company, but the company unexpectedly informed him of this meeting first.
The theme of the meeting was about functions, and it also included Shirley's questions.
When Jin Yingmin saw that everyone had almost arrived, he asked people from the planning department to brief everyone present on the situation. Yoo Joo Hyuk obviously knew the situation in advance, but Li Joo Young's face immediately became very ugly after hearing this.
It turns out that some photos about Sulli have started to leak out on the Internet in the past few days. They are all intimate photos of her and Choi Jae-ho in their daily lives. Although they are not explicit, it still seems that the two of them are not the same as mentioned in the company's statement.
sibling relationship.
As a result, a theory began to slowly ferment on the Internet, pointing the finger at Sulli, claiming that she was likely to be in two different situations. Although SM Company conducted emergency public relations in a timely manner, it still could not completely eliminate the doubts of netizens.
sound.
The most important thing is that new similar photos still appear on the Internet from time to time, so that the popularity of public opinion never decreases. On the contrary, more and more people are paying attention to this matter.
The company contacted Choi Jae-ho's agency as soon as possible because it was obvious that the culprit was that bastard named Choi. However, the other company said it was not aware of the matter and told SM that Choi had terminated his contract with the company.
Maybe he went abroad.
"Is that bastard planning to kill Sulli? If I had known this, last time..." Li Zhuying was obviously very angry. He thought that Sulli's recent change in mood was caused by this incident.
"It's useless to say this now. It's also because the previous plan was too successful, which led to the backlash now. So the top priority now is to discuss what the function should do next." Yoo Joo Hyuk interrupted Lee Joo Young.
Head, there are some things that are not suitable to be mentioned on this occasion today.
Jin Yingmin nodded to express his agreement with Yoo Joo Hyuk's opinion, and the people from the planning department immediately explained the plan they had come up with after careful study to everyone present.
"What? Temporarily stop function combination activities, why?" Li Zhuying was stunned by this plan. He knew that functions had returned to the general trend a few days ago, so why did they have to suspend activities in the blink of an eye?
"Lee Joo Young xi, it's like this. In fact, the results of Function's comeback have exceeded the company's expectations. Now we think we should stay dormant for a while, otherwise once a big negative storm is caused, it will directly affect the debut of the new girl group." Planning
A colleague from the department calmly explained to Li Zhuying.
What does this mean? Is he asking Function to make way for the Junior Sisters? Li Zhuying was trying to get more opportunities for Function, but after reading a new text message on his phone, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength.
He didn't say anything anymore.
"Zhuying, what happened?" Liu Zhuhyuk asked in confusion.
Li Zhuying was stunned for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he found that everyone including Jin Yingmin was waiting for his explanation, so he had to force himself to cheer up and said dejectedly:
"Well, Shirley sent me a message. She formally applied to the company... to temporarily suspend all her personal schedules. I hope to get the company's understanding."
As soon as the news came out, everyone immediately started talking in low voices, but soon the voices gradually became quieter. Everyone turned their attention to Jin Yingmin, waiting for the president to make the final decision.
"That's it. According to the plan of the planning department, Function will temporarily stop the group activities. Next, Zhuying, you will focus on Xiujing. It is her first time to appear as the female lead in a TV series. This is also very important to the company.
important."
"Red Velvet's original debut date has been advanced to early August. The planning department immediately adjusted all schedules to ensure a smooth debut."
Jin Yingmin gave the final instructions. Seeing that Li Zhuying seemed to still have something to say, he reached out to stop Li Zhuying from speaking, and said something meaningful to everyone:
"Director Lee Soo Man is very concerned about Red Velvet's debut. Even though his wife is seriously ill, he still often calls to ask about it, so you should understand what is more important."
After all the talk, Li Zhuying naturally had nothing to say, so he had to accept the company's arrangements obediently. However, he always felt in his heart that the company's arrangements for functions were a bit excessive, and it must have been more than just Shirley's personal reasons.
After the meeting, Li Zhuying hesitated for a long time, and finally came to Liu Zhuhyuk's office and asked him the questions in his heart.
"Zhuying, you are very perceptive, but there are some things I cannot say clearly. I can only tell you one thing. Lu Hai intends to propose to the company to terminate the contract." Liu Zhuying leaned over and whispered in Li Zhuying's ear.
A few words.
Hiss...Lee Joo Young took a breath and thought it's not that simple after all. It seems that the company's suppression function is obviously wary. No wonder they are so anxious to launch a new girl group.
"Hey, Shirley, this child needs a rest. In this case, you should take more care of her and avoid any accidents." Yoo Joo Hyuk patted Lee Joo Young on the shoulder and sighed before instructing.
"Nai, I will pay attention to it. This child is really not doing well recently. It is said that she has been suffering from insomnia all night, and even Victoria can't comfort her. Alas..." Mentioning Shirley and Li Zhuying also felt sad.
"There is an old Chinese saying that to untie a bell, one must tie it. It depends on her fortune."
Yoo Joo Hyuk suddenly said something incomprehensible. Facing Lee Joo Young's confusion, he did not intend to explain it. He just shook his head and signaled that Lee Joo Young could leave.
Not long after, SM suddenly issued an official statement to the outside world.
"This is SM Entertainment
Recently, there have been a large number of untrue remarks and unprovoked attacks against our artist Cui Xueli (Sulli) on social platforms. In this regard, the company will take all legal means to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the company's artists.
These malicious comments and attacks have had a huge impact on Sulli's personal relationship development. After confirmation by the company and herself, it is now announced that Sulli has officially ended her relationship with her boyfriend outside the industry through friendly negotiations between the two parties, and the two parties have resumed a support relationship.
The company expressed great regret for this result. In addition, Shirley herself requested to temporarily stop all her personal work. The company expressed its understanding and sent its blessings, hoping that she could recover as soon as possible and reappear in front of everyone as soon as possible.
