The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3554 Differences of Opinion

In the end, the girls were unable to get Li Menglong's forgiveness.

On the one hand, Li Menglong was too stubborn and did not respond at all to the girls' advances.

  On the other hand, the girls are not that sincere. It is impossible to ask them to kneel in front of Li Menglong, right?

Since both parties didn't want to talk any more, the natural result was that they couldn't agree on anything and parted unhappily!

The girls did not choose to disperse immediately. Instead, they gathered in the living room, chatting while staring at the situation in the room.

They were mainly afraid that Li Menglong would go to Xu Xian to complain. This shameless behavior of "going to the parents" when you can't beat them is really despicable.

But it is the most effective, at least the girls still have some concerns.

I hope Li Menglong can be more rational. This is not a good thing for either of them.

But it seems that they can only keep an eye on Li Menglong, he can just hide in the room and call Xu Xian.

The girls were prepared for this as Li Menglong's cell phone was in their hands.

In order to prevent Li Menglong from communicating with Xu Xian in advance, they even unlocked the phone and searched through it.

This practice of directly opening the other person's phone and looking for messages is too offensive no matter how you look at it.

The girls also knew this, so they asked Lee Sunkyu to unlock it.

Is it too much for a girlfriend to look at her partner's phone?

  After all, Lee Sun-kyu is so beautiful and so rich, it is only natural for her to have some privileges!

Lee Sun-kyu ignored the instigation of these women, but her acquiescence can be considered as some kind of affirmation, right?

However, this tacit attitude is questionable, as the girls only shouted a few words to the upper floors from the first floor.

  Whether Lee Sun-kyu can hear it is another matter, so how can you expect her to answer?

But the girls didn't care about that. They thought they had Lee Sun-kyu's permission, so they didn't feel any psychological pressure to look through Lee Moon-long's phone.

I have to say that the information in Li Menglong’s mobile phone is quite interesting.

Some of the more explicit text messages are seen almost all the time, and the girls have become a little numb to it.

  Are there so many artists in the industry who want to climb up in this way?

They even took the initiative to find out about a few people, but the final result was often that such a person did not exist.

Many so-called artists are actually just ordinary people, or they first join a gray industry and then think about whether they can transform themselves.

Anyway, just cast a wide net. As long as you catch a big fish, it will be enough to change your life.

Li Menglong is already one of the bigger guys in the pond, and his contact information is public, so basically everyone who wants to "fish" will come to him and throw bait like crazy.

So far, Li Menglong has not taken the bait, but this has a lot to do with their "protection", and they are proud of it.

In addition to this type of information, the most common thing on mobile phones is job offers.

As the girls' agent, Li Menglong had delegated many small matters to others to handle, but in the end there was still enough information for him to gather.

After all, the girls are not just a group, they are nine separate individuals, and each of them can have their own independent work opportunities.

In this situation, what he had to deal with was a bit complicated, and the girls seemed a bit confused anyway.

"Which program is this invitation from? They offer so much money, and specifically ask for Kim Taeyeon. Why don't you come to me? I can just ask for half the money!"

"Yeah, it's fine if outsiders follow suit and lower their prices to compete, but you, an ungrateful wolf, are going to stab me in the back?"

"But Li Menglong hasn't responded yet, and it's been two days. Could he have rejected me?"

The girls trust Li Menglong enough in his work and basically will not interfere with his judgment and choice.

But it was just a coincidence today, so I couldn’t help but feel a little worried inside.

From their perspective, apart from anything else, this job opportunity pays really well.

They don't care about the money at all, but many times these expenses can indirectly reflect the sincerity of the program team and even the overall quality of the program.

Judging from the cost, this is obviously a big production. Taking part in it might help to take its popularity to a new level.

Although they didn't think Li Menglong was deliberately suppressing Kim Taeyeon, they did want to ask.

  It's a good opportunity to check out Li Menglong's attitude. Maybe changing the topic can make the past things turn over a new leaf?

The girls swarmed in again, and Li Menglong's condition was much more stable than they had imagined.

This guy is half lying on the bed at the moment, holding a book in his hand, and seems to be quite leisurely?

Although he had no intention of complaining, which made the girls quite satisfied, could he not be a little more nervous?

His attitude would make their previous defenses seem stupid, and they didn't want to be associated with that image.

However, it was not easy to say this directly, so they could only express their original doubts and see how Li Menglong would explain it.

In fact, they were already prepared to stand up for Kim Taeyeon. Even if what Li Menglong said made sense, they would still regard it as the other party suppressing Kim Taeyeon.

Only in this way can the discussion continue. Li Menglong now has something on them. Can they stop hurting each other?

Faced with the girls' little thoughts, Li Menglong couldn't say that he could guess them clearly, but he could understand some of them.

But since this was his job, he had an obligation to explain it to these girls: "Turn to the back, I have marked it. That's the general plan of the program."

Li Menglong wanted them to know what kind of program this was, and then make a natural judgment and see if it was consistent with his judgment.

  But the girls would not be fooled. They just wanted to hear Li Menglong's explanation, so could he start?

This is typical trouble-making. Fortunately, Li Menglong is patient enough at work, so he explains it to them.

To put it simply, this is a singing variety show, or more precisely, a competitive one, which means inviting a group of singers to compete.

Before Li Menglong could finish his words, the girls started to make noises: "Why didn't you agree? Are you looking down on our captain? She will definitely get first place if she goes there!"

The corners of Kim Taeyeon's mouth slowly rose at the girls' praise. She did not choose to refuse, which meant that she agreed with what the girls said.

She does have enough confidence to support this kind of flattery. If it were just a simple singing competition, she doesn't think she is worse than anyone else.

  So the reason why Li Menglong refused was not because he was afraid that Kim Taeyeon would be eliminated, right?

If you are just worrying about this, there is no need to worry. She, Kim Taeyeon, will definitely win the championship!

Seeing these girls talking more and more exaggeratedly, Li Menglong wanted to take over the show and let them see what it means to suffer the consequences of one's own actions!

But he couldn't be willful at work, he still had to explain patiently, at least to make his ideas clear. If Kim Taeyeon still wanted to try at that time, Li Menglong would happily pack her up.

After the girls said they were tired, Li Menglong could finally start again.

Putting aside the format of the variety show, at least the gimmick is enough.

The program crew was very clear about this, so they were willing to spend a lot of money to invite Kim Taeyeon.

But how to say it, although he didn't know the details, Li Menglong estimated that the other party spent at least half of the guest fees on Kim Taeyeon.

In other words, Kim Taeyeon herself may very well be the biggest gimmick!

There is nothing wrong with this. If you get the most money, you must be able to play a corresponding role.

If Li Menglong was the director, he would also keep trying to find ways to deal with Kim Taeyeon.

There is a lot of room for maneuver here, and Li Menglong can easily give a few examples.

For example, in addition to Kim Taeyeon, a group of powerful seniors were invited, and Kim Taeyeon was arranged to compete with the other parties in each episode, but the result was that the other parties were eliminated without exception.

There is no need to consider the issue of ability, it is almost certain that Kim Taeyeon will be scolded!

And the angles from which she was criticized were not single. Some people accused her of taking advantage of her popularity to bully others, some accused her of disrespecting her seniors, and some even accused her of bribing the program team.

  This is just the simplest method Li Menglong can think of. Is Kim Taeyeon sure she can handle it?

Faced with the future described by Li Menglong, both the girls and Kim Taeyeon herself were deeply shaken.

Compared with Li Menglong's "simplicity", they have worked in the circle longer and have worked their way up from the bottom.

They know too well the filth involved here. What Li Menglong said will not only happen, but will be even worse.

As artists, their reputation is a guarantee of making money. Once their image is ruined, they can consider retiring.

  If they are not popular now, there is nothing wrong with taking a gamble on the show. What if they become popular again?

But they are already popular now, why would they go on the show to make trouble for themselves?

So they agreed with what Li Menglong said from the bottom of their hearts, but they didn't intend to say it out loud.

"Humph, so what? I, Kim Taeyeon, will also overcome the audience's doubts with my own strength!"

Kim Taeyeon tilted her head back and said this to Li Menglong almost through her nose.

This confidence comes out of nowhere. Is Kim Taeyeon pretending to be naive in front of him?

  It’s not their first day since debuting. They should know this. When did strength become the key in this industry?

If you want to be famous, you have to rely on packaging, copying, and luck. It has little to do with your actual strength.

  But since Kim Taeyeon has said so, if Li Menglong refuses again, wouldn’t that be too cooperative?

You just want to control him on this matter, this idea is quite unacceptable!

"Are you sure you want to agree to this? Then I'll reply to the production team and ask them to come to the company tomorrow to sign the contract. Is this okay with you?"

  Li Menglong's answer caught Kim Taeyeon off guard. She was just pretending to be strong. Didn't Li Menglong see that she was weak inside?

She was now suspended in mid-air, unable to move up or down, which was quite uncomfortable.

To refuse would make her previous behavior look like a clown, and her confidence in her own abilities was all self-boasting.

If I follow Li Menglong's advice, wouldn't that be making a joke of my own career?

Li Menglong doesn't even need to analyze it. Even if he came to her with an invitation to this show, Kim Taeyeon would have to think it over.

As a result, Li Menglong chose to refuse, but she wanted to give it a try?

After all, Kim Taeyeon is in her twenties and has long passed her rebellious stage, not to mention that she is risking her career as an artist for this.

Fortunately, she was not facing Li Menglong alone, she had a group of good sisters behind her.

They would not let Kim Taeyeon face Li Menglong's embarrassment alone. If Kim Taeyeon agreed impulsively, things would become serious.

  So they pulled Kim Taeyeon back while standing in front to confront Li Menglong:

"What are you talking about? When did she say she would agree to participate in this show?"

"Our captain is so busy, how can he have so much time?"

"I think the money this show pays is just so-so. I might as well do something else with this time."

"Once more people see how good Taeyeon is, what if she abandons us and goes solo? I don't want to change the leader!"

The girls not only refuted Li Menglong, but also flattered Kim Taeyeon implicitly. It has to be said that this is the wisdom that team life brings them.

But Kim Taeyeon was quite happy after hearing this. She hugged the girls emotionally and said, "Don't worry, I, Kim Taeyeon, will never abandon you. Even in the next life, I will still be your captain!"

If the previous words were still heartwarming, then Kim Taeyeon's last sentence stirred up a hornet's nest.

The warmth that the girls tried so hard to maintain could no longer be performed, especially the younger sisters led by Yoona.

It's fine to bully them in this life, and they have accepted their fate, but you don't want to let them go in the next life?

Yoona was the first one to disagree!

They could discuss continuing to be teammates or sisters in the next life, but there was one prerequisite: she, Lin Yoona, must be the big sister!

But Yoona wasn't the only one eyeing this spot, so everyone soon started arguing.

The chattering sound was annoying not only to Li Menglong but even to Kim Taeyeon.

She hasn't died yet, but these people are already thinking about becoming the eldest sister or the captain in the next life, which shows that they think about these things a lot in their daily lives.

I can only say that this team is not easy to lead. Kim Taeyeon has worked diligently to bring the team to this position, but still has to face the risk of them being stabbed at any time.

If that's the case, she might as well go on this show and ruin her own reputation, which will also make it easier for these younger sisters to get promoted.

Feeling disheartened, Kim Taeyeon told Li Menglong about this idea. She thought Li Menglong would agree immediately, but his response made her even more unhappy.

"I'm sorry, it's time to get off work now. I don't plan to deal with any more work matters. If you have any requests, please make an appointment with my secretary in advance. Thank you!"
