Chapter 113 An Unintentional Success (Bonus Chapter)
Shen Yu had always avoided the original owner's family affairs whenever possible.
My niece is a bit distant, and since the little one isn't familiar with me, it's actually quite easy for us to communicate.
But his mother had essentially told him openly what she wanted him to do this time, hoping that he could gradually integrate into the family's affection.
after all.
This time it's my own sister.
After Shen Yu's mother remarried, she had Shen Yu's younger sister in 05, and another little girl in 08.
Shen Yu could only sigh that this was indeed finding true love.
After adding the other person on KakaoTalk, Shen Yu noticed that the other person hadn't accepted the request immediately, realizing that the other person probably hadn't seen it.
The current trainees at the black factory —

"Who arranged this?"
"What, you're not going to carry out the orders from above? A mere agent is questioning the company's arrangements?"
The man repeatedly tapped the other man's forehead with the document, his face filled with a vengeful satisfaction.
"The Seoul concert is over, and the Japan concert isn't until the middle of this month. What reason do you have to tell me you're not planning to arrange this? Huh? Hey! Kid! I'm just telling you this, do you understand? If you understand, then hurry up and get on with it! Don't waste my time!"
"."
'
The agent wanted to be angry, but there was nothing he could do.
because.
Our company is going to go bankrupt.
This isn't a meme; it's more of a realistic portrayal.
This time last week, the situation was different.
Although he was just a small agent in a department, he still had to choose sides.
He was standing in the team of Lee Soo-man, the chief producer.
Last week, the Seoul court made a crucial ruling, setting things right!
The court granted the injunction applied for by Lee Soo-man, the chief producer, and ruled that the SM management, led by Lee Sung-soo, was guilty of illegally issuing new shares to Kakao.
Kakao's original 9.05% stake was instantly nullified, greatly increasing the chances of Lee Soo-man and his partner HYBE Entertainment winning!
Our company isn't finished yet!
No one raised any objections in court. After the verdict took effect, the employees who sided with producer Lee Soo-man couldn't wait to hang around in front of Lee Sung-soo's faction every day.
The point is to clearly tell them that playing dirty tricks is just a temporary fluke, and justice is still on their side!
He betrayed Lee Soo-man, the soul of SM Entertainment and the godfather of K-pop!
It will absolutely not end well!
Loyalty! Everyone is extremely loyal!
We must find an opportunity to exile these traitors to the Western Ice Warehouse!
But to their surprise, Lee Soo-man's faction didn't even have a week to be smug.
Just four days later, KAKAO announced a price of 150,000 won per share, far exceeding the 120,000 won offered by HYBE Entertainment during its public acquisition.
The US government forcibly acquired SM shares on the open market for 10 million won. This move directly pushed SM's stock price to an all-time high.
Some people may have made money, but that also made us lose the competition!
Faced with Kakao's aggressive takeover bid, HYBE Entertainment, after assessing SM Entertainment's specific situation, stated that continuing to invest in SM would only harm the interests of its shareholders, and therefore decided to abandon its acquisition of SM Entertainment and control of SM's operations.
Kakao, with its deep pockets, acquired nearly 40% of SM Entertainment's shares through a buy-back program. At this point, SM Entertainment was no longer solely dominated by Sooman.
With the change of leadership, Lee Soo-man's dictatorial rule came to an end, but many who followed the team were afraid of being purged, and most began to consider leaving SM Entertainment.
As for the Grand Master of Korean Entertainment, Lee Soo-man —
The producer himself left South Korea with tens of billions of won, heartbroken. Having accepted a non-compete agreement, he was unable to engage in music activities in South Korea for the next few years.
The agent returned to his office, reluctantly handing the documents to someone else to execute, while he prepared to write his resignation and decide to find a new job.
For example, join the now-thriving NewJeans team—Ador!
In the end, the document ended up in the hands of the agent, who then took the document to aespa, who was in the company's practice room preparing the setlist for their Tokyo concert.

"Jimin? Could you come out for a moment?"
Liu Zhimin followed her manager outside.
"So, there's a job offer, and the company notifies you to participate."
"A new itinerary? Okay."
After receiving the document, Liu Zhimin began to look through it.
She didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a job that could be done during her breaks.
But the list of cooperating companies at the beginning of the document, and the requirements in the document, made her pause for a second.
For artists who only have individual contracts or stay with SM because of Lee Soo-man, internal strife within the company will only affect their personal relationships and will not affect other aspects of their lives.
At worst, we can all terminate our contracts and leave SM.
For active girl groups, the existence of aespa is actually the most awkward situation.
Choosing sides inevitably means being purged when things end. Other artists aren't afraid of that, but Aespa's contracts mean that if they fail, they'll be sidelined for at least four years.
It's hard to describe what the four of them felt during this time. The work seemed plentiful, but most of it was actually part of the contracts that had been signed beforehand. They didn't dare to reveal anything during the live stream and had to be extremely cautious.
Even Liu Zhimin is under the most pressure, simply because she is the team leader and the eldest sister. If anything goes wrong with aespa, she will be the one most responsible, and her sense of responsibility will not allow such a thing to happen.
Maintaining neutrality is the most difficult thing.
Now that the company's situation has been settled, she seems to have breathed a sigh of relief, but in reality, she has become more sensitive.
What does it mean when the company assigns you a task to do alone at this time?
What will happen to aespa under its new leadership?
Will we be sacrificed? Will we have to abandon aespa and launch a new girl group to represent ourselves?
After all, Aespa was Lee Soo-man's last work, and who knows how the company's upper management will consider them.
Perhaps this job is my pledge of allegiance.
Liu Zhimin, who was thinking about it in a very tragic way, turned to the second page of the document and found that it contained lyrics.
The lyricist and composer are both ————
"?"
"Yeah, Jimin, it's not good for SM to have conflicts with any company right now. Although many producers and artists have left the company, this person is a good producer according to public opinion. The fact that he wants to collaborate with you on a song is also an opportunity for the higher-ups to show that you are employees of SM, not Lee Soo-man's employees."
The agent felt that it might be difficult for a girl of this age to completely compromise.
However, as artists bound by contracts, they must understand that being unable to act according to their own will is something they need to get used to.
"Hmm. When does it start?"
"what?"
The manager didn't expect Yoo Ji-min to change so quickly, and felt that his Karina had suffered a lot of injustice.
I feel sorry for Karina's manager, as she watched Karina debut.
But she also needs to act as a member of the company.
"Jimin, I'll try to reply to them tomorrow, and maybe the day after tomorrow, or even next week, so you can be at ease—"
"Ah, it won't take that long. How about I reply by myself?"
"Huh?" The producer was puzzled.
"Okay, then I'll do it myself. I have producer Shen Yu's contact information. Thank you for your help. I'll handle this job well."
"
J
'
The producer watched as Yoo Ji-min picked up the documents and left.
It seemed that when she turned around, the producer felt he saw the corners of her mouth turn up.
