"Oh Mo, boss, how many days have you not slept?"
Because he left the sports car at home, Xie Qianyu called An Zhengxun to pick him up before taking off. Now the sissy's peach blossom eyes were full of worry.
"It's okay, let's drive."
Xie Qianyu didn't expect that An Zhengxun would see him looking haggard as soon as he took off his sunglasses. After catching up on some sleep on the passenger plane, he felt that he still had the energy to continue working.
"Go directly to the new CJE&M building. I want to find Li Meijing."
"But it's still early in the morning..." An Zhengxun couldn't help but glanced at the rearview mirror again and found that Xie Qianyu had closed his eyes.
"Go ahead, that old woman doesn't get much sleep."
The business car drove all the way to the new CJE&M building. The moment it stopped, Xie Qianyu opened his eyes.
The wealthy CJ is indeed rich...but the design is obviously much worse than my QS...
Xie Qianyu thought as he looked up at the tall and square building.
Climbing up the stairs, Seoul has not yet entered working mode in the early morning. No one noticed that Xie Qianyu, with a serious face, walked into the giant office building of CJE&M with a different identity and started a new journey.
"Oh, you came early enough, why don't you go back and rest for a while?"
As Xie Qianyu expected, Li Meijing had already arrived at her work station in the empty building and was sitting at her desk reviewing documents, but she seemed to have expected Xie Qianyu's arrival.
Perhaps Xie Qianyu called Li Meijing, who is in her fifties, an "old woman" a little rude, but it is true that she is very energetic at work. No one thought that in ten years she would become famous for introducing the Korean Wave to the world. Noise, now she seems to be just a hard-working vice-president.
"No need, Aunt Meijing, I just rested on the plane."
The current Xie Qianyu is really no different from a savage. His originally fair skin has become dull, and a wild beard has sprouted on his face. The most conspicuous thing is that his pair of bright peach blossom eyes have become a little haggard, and his beautiful lying face has become a bit haggard. The silkworms have also been replaced by thick dark circles, the eye sockets are deeply sunken, and there are fine wrinkles that have never been seen before.
Seeing the serious expression on this junior's face, Li Meijing also put away her concern and worry, led the man to the guest sofa, and poured two full cups of strong tea.
"Tell me, you are so busy during the New Year and don't even take a break. Why are you thinking about seeing me so early in the morning?"
Taking a big sip of strong tea, the bitter taste in his mouth refreshed Xie Qianyu: "I just want to ask why QS was not classified into the CJE&M sequence, but stayed in the CJ Group? This kind of question, I think, is still It’s better to ask you in person.”
"You don't have to worry about this issue at all. The conditions we agreed on will not change - you can still use the resources of my CJE&M at will, and just maintain a watchful and supportive relationship with QS."
"And officially staying under CJ, wouldn't it be very beneficial to the development of your financial department?"
The other party's answer seemed to be a well-prepared statement, and Xie Qianyu was not surprised that Li Meijing knew about QS Firm's venture capital department. First, he had no intention of hiding it, and second, Li Meijing was not only an art queen, but also How could a woman who was able to keep CJ in good order during Lee Jae-hyun's accident be so desirable?
What's more, without these "extra money", how would he get the money to support T-ara's continuous development in the gold-eating world of the entertainment industry...
"I'm just making some investments in the financial world. I'm afraid I have nothing to do with a behemoth like CJ, right?" After thinking for a moment, Xie Qianyu humbled himself.
Li Meijing smiled slightly and shrugged nonchalantly: "I don't know about this matter. It's Jae-hyun's decision. If you want to find out, go find him."
Xie Qianyu nodded heavily, knowing that his level was not yet up to Li Zaixian's position, Xie Qianyu didn't want to be at a disadvantage, he would come into contact with him sooner or later.
"There is also the member named Liu Huaying in T-ara, can I..."
"That 'person' also joined under Zai Xian's instruction." Before he could finish his words, Li Meijing interrupted him without a doubt, "If you have any ideas, you'd better talk to him."
"I'm still in charge of the artistic side. Why don't you tell me when the two movies you promised me will be filmed? It's not okay for the male lead of a big production to be absent every day. There's also the movie where T-ara is said to be a guest star. As expected, you’re going to have a hand too, right?”
"Isn't my current look just for the second half of "Only You"?" Xie Qianyu, who laughed at himself and looked a little embarrassed, gave Li Meijing an explanation, "I will go to that movie. Save all the young characters for me. I suggest you push back the release date. Jiang Jiongzhe tells the story well, but his editing skills are simply a mess..."
----------------------------------------
Being noticed by the big shots above... This is really not a good thing...
The conversation with Li Meijing did not last long. Xie Qianyu, who had no time to rest, lay in the business car and rubbed his eyebrows. An Zhengxun, who temporarily acted as the driver, drove to the next location.
Although he knew that sooner or later he would come into contact with the highest level of this small country, Xie Qianyu, who was not yet ready, did not expect that this day would come so early and in such a hurry.
What kind of relationship does he have with Li Anbo...a staff member...? Or is it a money bag that is not used very often...?
Although Xie Qianyu and Li Anbo are as good as brothers, if there is even the slightest conflict with Li Zaixian's CJ, the president will definitely switch to the other side without hesitation.
Compared with the old chaebols, the current power in their hands is still too weak...and they have been forcibly pulled into the CJ camp, but Li Anbo and that one will capsize one after another in the near future. ah....
In the management of QS, especially in the management of T-ara, Xie Qianyu did his best to avoid all possible sensitive points, walking on the edge of politics and plutocrats like a balance beam in this big country.
But now he really has the idea of cultivating power in the government. It's not too late, but it's not too early either. He actually just wants to develop in the entertainment industry peacefully, but obviously someone doesn't want him to live so comfortably.
Just as Xie Qianyu's thoughts were gradually taking root, the commercial vehicle stopped in front of a mediocre-looking building. It was already bright, and there were already many office workers coming and going on the street. After skillfully making a winter disguise, Xie Qianyu got out of the car and got into the building.
"Hello, I'm looking for you, President Hong."
"Do you have an appointment..." The girl at the front desk just looked away from the phone screen and saw Xie Qianyu taking off his mask, "Oh no! Yu X..."
"Shh..." he gestured to the girl at the front desk to be silent. The girl quickly restrained her voice and led Xie Qianyu to the elevator in a very professional manner.
"Excuse me...can you sign your name for me?"
Seeing the little beauty's careful look, Xie Qianyu realized that he was really a world-renowned star. He forced a smile on his tired face: "Get paper and pen ready. If the conversation with your president goes well, I will come and give it to you." You sign!”
The little girl's heart was beating wildly after receiving the promise from her idol. She subconsciously ignored the handsome man's haggard expression and hurriedly followed Xie Qianyu as he walked out of the elevator. She quickly walked forward and opened the door to the president's office for him.
"President Nim, Xie Qianyuxi said that he wants to find you."
"Thanks."
After entering the office, he did not forget to thank his little sister first, and waited until she left before sitting across from the big desk.
"Long time no see, President Hong. How are you doing?"
Sitting across from him was a middle-aged man. He was supposed to be a calm and dignified leader of a society, but now he was a little confused, and he seemed to be a little scared.
"Thanks to the president, I'm still in good health, which means the company's development..."
"Don't be so nervous, President Hong, are you scared by my appearance?" He laughed self-deprecatingly. Even though Xie Qianyu was a little haggard now, his appearance was by no means scary.
Seeing the other party, he was still a little nervous, so Xie Qianyu went about his business: "Don't be like this, President Hong, after all, we are old acquaintances. Now I don't even have half a cent relationship with LG's furniture company. We are the same company." He’s just a much younger president than you are at Cube.”
"Besides, I'm here to give you a gift today."
----------------------------------------
When Xie Qianyu and Hong Shengcheng had a "cordial exchange", an unexpected conversation took place in the familiar SM president's room.
"Are you sure you agree to his request?"
"I'm sure!" Li Xiuman, who had been made to retire by Xie Qianyu before, was extremely determined now and nodded vigorously.
Jin Yingmin could only sigh. Ever since that freak was born, he and Li Xiuman had discussed countermeasures together more and more often. As arrogant as he was, he had to admit that when it came to how to deal with Xie Qianyu, Li Xiuman is much more experienced than him.
"Give me a reason. I have to be responsible for the overall situation of the company."
"He's killing the B-list again. This time it's an Asian. Two songs instantly landed in the top five." After pausing and taking a sip of tea, Li Xiuman seemed to be mentioning something to the old man, "What do you think? For a person, his talent is limited to writing songs for T-ara? Or... How long can the small pond of the Korean entertainment industry keep him trapped?"
"Sooner or later, he will go to China to develop, or even the whole of Asia, or the world?" Jin Yingmin, who had some vague ideas, suddenly understood, and finally understood why Li Xiuman called him early in the morning as soon as Xie Qianyu sang a song. office, and completely changed his attitude towards Xie Qianyu.
"That's right, instead of alienating him just for the sake of so-called face or respect for the forces behind him, it's better to think about how to make friends with him and better carve up the Korean market he vacated in the future."
Jin Yingmin, who was completely convinced, nodded thoughtfully in agreement, then rubbed his chin habitually and asked: "Then how should we express our attitude this time? The last time he left the meeting early, the conversation was not very pleasant... ..."
"Haha, this time, it's time for us to personally visit him at QS, President Xie..."
----------------------------------------
In just about half an hour, Xie Qianyu ended his discussion in the Cube Building. After cordially signing autographs and taking photos with the girl at the front desk downstairs, he returned to the business car where An Zhengxun was already waiting.
"Let's go, next target - YG!"
"Okay!"
The vehicle started slowly. Xie Qianyu leaned on his seat and closed his eyes, recalling the conversation he had just had with Hong Shengcheng:
"I wonder what kind of 'big gift' President Xie wants to give me when he comes to Cube in person to see me?"
There was something yin and yang in the words, presumably because he was still thinking about the deeds of this "Cheongdamdong Little Bully" who was domineering in several brokerage companies.
Hearing the hint of dissatisfaction, Xie Qianyu was also happy - when you Hong Shengcheng wanted to jump out and go it alone, why didn't I support you and give you the investment from SK?
Tsk~ What an ungrateful Chinese people...
However, he remained calm on the surface and said with a smile: "I wonder if President Hong is interested in the song written by Yu X? It's the same style as Trouble Maker~"
The name of the most popular temporary group in recent years was very easy to use. Hong Shengcheng's pupils shrank unconsciously, which is a natural sign when he sees something he likes.
"Since Trouble Maker became an instant hit on the stage at the end of the year, I don't know how many agencies are looking for musicians to write duets. If President Xie doesn't keep such a good resource for his own use, why would he want to give it to me?"
Hong Shengcheng is a very useful administrative talent, but he also has his own understanding of music. He can't help but be excited when good songs are delivered to his door.
Seeing that the man was trying his best to suppress his excitement, Xie Qianyu lied calmly: "I'm afraid that girl Qri can't stand such a big disturbance, so I'm thinking of finding a group of artists to attract the attention and keep her in cold storage for a while... ."
There were half truths and half lies in his words. Hong Shengcheng, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, believed 80% of them at once: "But... we are under Cube, no, it should be said that there are no group artists with similar positioning in the entire Korean entertainment industry, right? "
Scarcity and this unique positioning are indeed the reasons why Trouble Maker has been so popular since its launch.
"Haha, there are no combinations. Things like tacit understanding can be cultivated with a little practice!"
Seeing the other party thinking, Xie Qianyu continued to pursue the victory: "I think Zhang Xiansheng of BEAST, which is owned by your company, and Kim Hyuna of 4minutes are quite suitable to form a new generation of Trouble Maker!"
After being the president of the company for so many years, Hong Shengcheng still understood the principle of "showing courtesy for nothing - either a traitor or a thief", not to mention even a fool with a strong purpose like Xie Qianyu could see it.
"Actually, although this plan is good, HyunA and Hyunseung will probably be criticized by your QS family fans, right? I'm sorry, I'm not very good at asking my own artists to block other people's guns. "
"Anyway, the lyrics and music are all written under my name. As long as I speak, the fans will not do anything excessively against them. This is great popularity, isn't it?"
I am not afraid that you will find excuses, but I am afraid that the fish will not bite the hook.
Xie Qianyu believed that Hong Shengcheng was a rare good president, but he also believed that Hong Shengcheng would not be able to give up the opportunity to make a lot of money for the company for so-called "benevolence".
"There is an old saying in China that 'no reward will come without reward', but not many companies have received Yu X's works yet. Tell us what you want, President Xie!"
"Don't worry, President Hong!" Xie Qianyu felt that he looked like a human trafficker at the moment, especially with this handsome appearance. "I have brought you all the fresh demos, don't you want to hear them?"
"I've already thought of the song title, so it's called - "No Tomorrow"."
With a harmless smile on his face, the sinister Xie Qianyu was thinking in his heart: Should I not use such an unlucky song title with my fiancée...?
hey-hey.....
----------------------------------------
Just as Xie Qianyu was recalling the conversation he just had, his cell phone rang suddenly.
Two minutes later, a playful smile appeared on Xie Qianyu's tired face: "Zhengxun, change the destination! Go back to the company, the monkey we want to kill has changed its target..."
