Kim Taeyeon was still confused until she left Zhou Jing's office, and Zhou Jing had no intention of explaining it to her in detail, but in any case, this was not bad news after all.
However, as soon as she left, the smile on Zhou Jing's face disappeared in an instant. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside the window in silence.
In a few days, Jessica will return to Seoul, which means that the conflict between her and SM Company, no, to be precise, Lee Soo Man will finally be on the table.
However, at this time, Kim Young-min suddenly promoted the follow-up plans of both parties without any warning, and even asked Taeyeon to come in person to express her goodwill, which definitely meant that she was choosing sides.
But is it just this purpose? Not necessarily, Zhou Jing’s eyes flickered but his heart was clear. There was a subtext behind Jin Yingmin’s words that he didn’t say.
That is, Girls' Generation is not just Jessica, there are also Taeyeon, Seohyun, etc., and because of his erroneous involvement in the crisis that Girls' Generation is about to face, it may not be Lee Soo Man anymore.
Zhou Jing's eyes narrowed when he thought about this. Yes, the finger of blame has been pointed at him, which means that he, Zhou Jing, has become the biggest unsettling factor in whether the nine members of Girls' Generation can continue together.
"Oh, Xiujing, Xiuyan, the human heart is really the most difficult thing to predict in the world." Zhou Jing sighed with regret,
"The intersection between Girls' Generation and me has come to an end. Maybe not seeing each other is the best way to meet."
.....................
At this time, Yoo Joo Hyuk was equally confused in Kim Young Min's office at SM Company. You must know that the conflict between Jessica and Director Lee Soo Man has almost become a reality.
Director Li even publicly opposed the company's follow-up plan with dps at the board meeting. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lee Soo Man intended to cut off the connection between Zhou Kyung and Girls' Generation.
But no one expected that Kim Young-min, who had always been sitting quietly on Diaoyutai, would suddenly take action at this time. Not only did he promote the implementation of the plan, but he also allowed Kim Taeyeon to meet Zhou Kyung openly.
Isn't this a clear attempt to dismantle Lee Soo Man? This left colleagues in the agency and planning department at a loss as to which leader should follow the instructions.
Not only had Yoo Joo Hyuk been trained by Lee Soo Man on the phone for more than an hour, so he came to Kim Young Min to ask for help. Coincidentally, Planning Director Choi Nam Yong was sitting in the office with the same thoughts.
On the contrary, Jin Yingmin was calm and calm. He first watered the green plants, loosened the soil, and then fed some food into the fish tank. Seeing that both Liu Joo Hyuk and Choi Nam Yong could hardly sit still, he returned to his seat.
Slowly he spoke:
"What, is the matter difficult to handle? Or maybe I don't know how to give an explanation to Director Li."
Liu Zhuhyuk and Cui Nanyong looked at each other and still chose to remain silent, but they had already cursed in their hearts. This is not nonsense. You bosses are fighting and what should the people below do? They are really speechless.
"Don't worry, I can't hit you with the bat." Jin Yingmin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. I don't know when President Jin was secretly obsessed with Chinese tea. He put down the teacup and suddenly the conversation changed.
Got a strange question.
"Zhu Hyuk, Nam Yong, you already know the results of yesterday's basketball game, right? What do you think?"
What do you mean? The two of them looked at each other in confusion and didn't understand Jin Yingmin's intention. They naturally knew the result of the game. It spread internally just after work early this morning.
The company's basketball team had a smooth start but was counterattacked in the fourth quarter, and even made a last-minute buzzer beater. However, the thought of the buzzer beater immediately brought the two of them back to their senses.
"President Nim, what you want to say is...Director Zhou?" Cui Nanyong cautiously probed.
"Yes, that's him I'm talking about." Jin Yingmin suddenly lowered his face and said seriously, "I was at the competition yesterday. To be honest, I only had one idea after watching it."
At this point, Jin Yingmin paused, then looked closely at the two people in front of him and asked word for word: "Do you want such a person to become your opponent?"
Hiss... Liu Zhuhyuk and the others took a deep breath, and several adjectives popped into their heads instantly: "Tough, tenacious, one hit is sure to hit." Especially this hit, which was sure to hit, made their backs feel cold.
But after all, it was just a basketball game and that didn't mean anything. Cui Nanyong opened his mouth and was about to raise an objection, but unexpectedly, Jin Yingmin changed the topic.
"Do you know what Jessica is busy with recently?"
Liu Zhuhyuk and the others shook their heads and were about to explain, but Jin Yingmin obviously didn't need their answer. Jin Yingmin took out a folder from the drawer and put it in front of the two of them.
"Let's take a look. This is the trajectory of Jessica's recent activities in China. Although I don't know what they talked about specifically, I think you will understand after reading the other party's background information."
Yoo Joo Hyuk didn't know why he took the folder and looked at it with Choi Nam Yong. Within a few minutes, both of them widened their eyes in unison, with horrified expressions on their faces.
"President nim, does...Director Li know about this?" No matter how slow Cui Nanyong was, he still realized that Li Xiuman was probably going to hit the wall this time.
"What's the matter if you know, but what if you don't know?" Kim Young-min replied with a wry smile, "This matter was wrong from the beginning. Times have changed. The theory that artists are commodities has long been outdated. Nowadays, people still want to use control and oppression.
The means will only be counterattacked."
"But it won't work otherwise. It would be very dangerous for artists to break away from the company's control. I don't think the board of directors will agree." Yoo Joo Hyuk expressed his thoughts from the perspective of a manager.
"Then let's go head-to-head? Zhuhyuk, tell me, what confidence does the company have to fight with them? I'm afraid Samsung and LG combined are not enough for others." Jin Yingmin pointed at the folder with his finger, and there was a hint of anger in his words.
meaning.
"But..." Yoo Joo Hyuk wanted to say something, but he had nothing to say at all, just because what Kim Young Min said was completely correct.
Facing these two stupid people, Jin Yingmin secretly sighed inwardly, but he still had to say what needed to be said clearly, otherwise relying on them to figure it out on their own would sooner or later only mess things up.
"You, like Director Li, are too self-centered. You are always used to considering problems from your own perspective, but you must also recognize who the person on the other side is."
"Based on your understanding of Director Zhou, do you think he would be willing to take advantage of Director Li's methods? It seems to me that he had long expected that today's situation would happen, so he secretly planned this move."
Choi Nam Yong and Yoo Joo Hyuk were speechless. Now it seems that Lee Soo Man has really simplified the problem, especially coercing other members to join forces to create excuses to force the palace.
I'm afraid it will only make the nine people stick together even more, especially since everyone knows who the person standing behind Jessica is. As long as he is still there, others will not and dare not make trouble.
Jin Yingmin was very satisfied with the reaction of Cui Nanyong and others, but this was not the purpose of what he said above. What comes next is the focus.
"But I agree with Director Li on one point. The entanglement between Girls' Generation and Director Zhou is indeed too deep. This is not good for the company and them. I think it's time to settle it."
"Ah? President Nim, I... don't understand what you mean." Cui Nanyong raised his head in shock. He did not expect that Jin Yingmin would come to such a strange conclusion. On the contrary, Liu Zhuhyuk began to think thoughtfully.
"Director Li can't win this round, but that doesn't mean that Jessica's kid will win. I asked Taeyeon and the others to actively contact Director Zhou just to tell him a truth." Jin Yingmin had a sly look in his eyes as he spoke.
.
"What's the point?" Yoo Joo Hyuk, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted.
"It's very simple. Girls' Generation has nine people, which means nine hearts. If Director Zhou really considers Jessica, I think he will make the right decision."
After saying that, Jin Yingmin stood up and came to the green plants. He smiled slightly when he saw the lush green plants and then murmured to himself:
"If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it; if the behavior is higher than others, the public will reject it. Director Zhou, I think you should understand this truth. It's only your fault that you made Jessica too powerful, haha...
"
Suddenly Jin Yingmin thought of something again, turned to Liu Zhuhyuk and others and said solemnly: "After this incident is over, I don't want Director Zhou to break up with the company, let alone be completely pushed to JYP, so what's next for you?
You have to think about how to maintain your relationship with him, do you understand?"
