The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3576 Company Runaway
Xu Xian doesn't know yet that she has received an extra gift, but even if she knew, she probably wouldn't be too happy.

It’s not that she doesn’t know how to be grateful, but similar things don’t happen too often.

As the youngest member of the team, although Xu Xian is always bullied, she actually still has many hidden privileges and preferential treatments.

Otherwise, Xu Hyun is not a masochist. Even if she couldn't take the initiative to choose when she debuted, she must have the ability now, right?

Anyone who can still get together after becoming popular and calmly face the current situation of declining popularity is a true sister.

This kind of group is rare in the circle, fortunately Xu Xian can still persevere.

Although she would rather receive fewer gifts, and it would be best if these people could play fewer pranks on a daily basis, the possibility of realizing this idea is not very high.

At least Xu Xian has given up hope on this. If they can really make changes, it wouldn't be impossible for her to give the gifts instead!
Xu Xian had no time to care about the girls at the moment. She was busy with tasks assigned by Li Menglong.

Although she doesn't have a formal position in the company, everyone has a basic understanding of her: she is Li Menglong's secretary.

Moreover, the secretary's power is extremely great. For some small matters, there is no need to escalate them to Li Menglong. As long as they are brought to Xu Xian, he can give his opinions on how to deal with them.

This is not the result of Li Menglong's simple indulgence, but something Xu Xian has fought for herself.

After all, she is a smaller version of Li Menglong, and she has more or less mastered everything that Li Menglong can do.

She might not be as proficient as Li Menglong, but she didn't want to reach the top overnight.

If you can’t handle the big things, can’t you handle some small things?
Many things don't even require Xu Xian's opinion, they just lack someone who can be responsible and sign on them.

And Xu Xian has a huge advantage in this regard. Not to mention that Li Menglong will stand behind her unconditionally, even for herself, some seemingly serious consequences are of no concern to her.

This is exactly what happened to me right now. I had originally agreed to contact a prop company, but suddenly I couldn't get in touch with it today.

The person in charge of the connection was a newcomer, and he was obviously a little panicked.

Because from the education he received in the past, he can conclude that the one who takes the blame must be the lowest level person.

As for whether it is necessary to bear the losses, it depends on whether the leader is a human being.

Although Li Menglong and Xu Xian didn't seem like this kind of people, how could he dare to make a conclusion? Especially without a concrete result.

I secretly sent a text message to Xu Xian. She was smart enough to know not to shout about it everywhere.

Because the text message was very vague, Xu Xian thought someone was confessing his love to her.

Don't think that Xu Xian is self-indulgent, she is not that boring.

The reason I think so is that similar things may not happen every moment, but there will always be a few of them in a month.

Some of them have a clear positioning, that is, they simply express their love for Xu Xian without forcing her to respond; of course, there are also some impulsive ones who really think they can get lucky.

There is nothing wrong with the latter's idea itself. As long as you don't keep pestering each other later, what's wrong with simply expressing your love?
After all, Xu Xian doesn’t have a boyfriend, so maybe they will fall in love with each other?

There is no need to deify the profession of artist. We are all the same people, just working in different industries and having different incomes, but there is no species gap.

The other halves of many artists are ordinary people, and there are countless examples of this.

Besides, although artists seem to have a glamorous life in front of the public, their circle of friends is actually quite small, and the number of people they can seriously consider dating is even more limited.

If some people are brave enough, they might even be able to bring the artist home.

However, Xu Xian's own situation is somewhat different. She really doesn't have such thoughts.

Maybe she has seen too many breakups and reunions in the circle, or she wants to pursue career advancement, but she has no intention of falling in love in the short term.

So when Xu Xian stood up, she was already prepared to respond. After all, she couldn't make the other person too sad, as they still had to work together in the future.

She originally thought they could just chat for a few minutes in the corridor, but he actually tried to take her into an empty meeting room nearby.

This action can easily lead to misunderstanding. Although there is a high probability that the other party has no bad intentions, why would Xu Xian take the risk to test human nature?

"Let's just say it here. It shouldn't be something shameful, right?" Xu Xian made a small joke, and it could be seen that the other party was very nervous.

Xu Xian has seen too many people like this. She is searching her mind for past rejection words, trying to find gentle responses.

"Our secret has been exposed!"

This guy almost made Xu Xian lose control as soon as he opened his mouth. He must have done it on purpose, right?

How did it get exposed? And what did he do with the other party? Why didn't she know?

If he wasn't a colleague from the company, Xu Xian would have thought that the other person was a reporter sent by some media, because only they would ask such leading questions.

Whether Xu Xian admits or denies, she will fall into the other party's trap and rhetoric, which she is very familiar with.

But the person in front of him shouldn't be like that, right? Xu Xian showed great patience and signaled him to continue. She wanted to hear what the two of them had done.

Although the person on the other side was puzzled, he still followed Xu Xian's wishes and described the situation in detail.

Although she was originally planning on joking, Xu Xian quickly became serious.

No wonder the other party was so nervous. Even if this kind of thing happened to her, she would still feel like her brain was hit.

Because the entire industry is on an upward trend, countless new small companies open every year.

This is not only reflected in artist management companies, but also in many supporting companies during the filming process.

As a newcomer in the past, Xu Xian often had the choice to work with some large companies.

The advantage is that follow-up is guaranteed, but the disadvantages are also quite obvious. The asking price is generally 30% to 50% higher, and in some cases it can even double.

Although the cooperation was pleasant, it was impossible for Xu Xian to remain a newcomer forever.

She will also grow up, become sophisticated, and learn to pursue relatively low costs and extreme profits.

There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but you must be prepared to pay the tuition fees during this process.

However, Xu Xian missed a lot of classes because of this, and it was Li Menglong who helped her "skip classes".

Although Li Menglong thought that he did not deliberately pamper Xu Xian, the little girl did work her way up from the lowest level of odd jobs.

But if Xu Xian was an ordinary person, it would be fine, and she could cover up her relationship with Li Menglong. But who makes her an artist? With her face, how can people not recognize her? How could they think she was a real handyman?
Even without the relationship with Lee Moon-long and the halo of an artist, Xu Xian's appearance is enough to earn her preferential treatment.

So even though Xu Xian tried her best to learn along the way and the process was relatively smooth, it still felt like it was too smooth.

But the courses that Xu Xian skipped would not be missed without reason, she would always make up for them at some point.

The class can start today!

For any new director, being cheated is almost a daily occurrence during their growth process, and the newer they are, the more likely they are to be cheated.

After all, when you are a newcomer, you have no money, so you have to consider the cost and price-performance ratio when you want to do something.

It is obviously too late for Xu Xian to pursue this only today. Fortunately, scammers will not deliberately cheat you less just because you are Xu Xian.

Even if Li Menglong came in person, the other party would still cheat him, and might even ask for a higher price.

The specific details of the deception need to be discussed and summarized later. At this moment, she needs to calm down and come up with a follow-up solution.

It was clear that her colleague couldn't be relied upon, so she had to make her own decision.

However, Xu Xian has been learning from Li Menglong for so long, even if she doesn’t know the specific methods, she is still clear about some of the preliminary steps.

For example, no matter what happens, she, as the core, must not panic and must quickly calm the team's emotions.

"Don't worry, this matter is mine, and you will never be implicated!" Xu Xian gave her assurance firmly, and the other party visibly relaxed.

Only then did they really discuss the aftermath. It was not as if Xu Xian was unprepared.

She subcontracted the props that were originally supposed to be contracted out to one or two companies to nearly ten companies. Although the negotiation process was relatively cumbersome, Xu Xian regarded this as an experience for herself and her team.

Regardless of how much experience it has gained, at least it has played a role in sharing mistakes.

"Go check if there are any problems with the remaining companies first. Be sure to ask clearly. It would be best if you can find someone you know to ask!"

Xu Xian was not only saying this to her colleagues, but was also helping herself to sort out her thoughts.

"If it's someone I know, I'll go find them. You can call and ask first. I'll follow up with the bankrupt company. I want to see who dares to cheat me!"

Xu Xian was also a little angry. After all, she rarely met such people.

As an artist, making money is like picking up money in the eyes of the public, and everyone will instinctively offer a high price to the artist.

Although it is not worth advocating and promoting, it is at least a normal transaction. If you think it is inappropriate, just refuse it.

But scammers really won’t target artists unless they have absolutely no other choice.

In other words, artists are often the other party’s last choice when closing the net, because an artist friend can bring too much credibility endorsement to the scammer.

Moreover, deceiving an artist can easily escalate the problem. After all, media attention can easily push the police to investigate vigorously.

In short, Xu Xian was eager to talk to the other party. If she couldn't persuade the other party to take the right path, she had to get her money back.

Of course, these are the most ideal results, and Xu Xian also knows that the probability of success is low.

So the real plan in her mind was to bear the loss!
Although it was a company project, it was also the result she participated in and agreed upon as a member of the company.

No matter how you look at it, it's not her turn to take responsibility, but who can blame Xu Xian for being that way?

Besides, she has been taken care of too much by Li Menglong and even the company. Even though she doesn't say it out loud, it doesn't mean she doesn't know it.

So within her ability, Xu Xian also wants to give back a little, even if it seems a little stupid to outsiders, but this may be the real her.

A silly yet somewhat adorable Xu Xian!
She didn't dare go back to the office to make a phone call, and Xu Xian even ran to the third floor.

She was also afraid that Li Menglong would hear it. It’s not that the other party would curse her, but she was afraid that Li Menglong would come forward to help.

In terms of experience, face, and connections, Li Menglong is naturally much better than her.

It is very likely that the problem she has can be solved by just a few phone calls to Li Menglong.

It seems to make things easier, but can Xu Xian always rely on Li Menglong?
Theoretically, there is no problem. After all, the most feared thing in friendship between men and women is interference from each other's significant other.

And does Lee Sun-kyu care about how she and Lee Moon-ryong get along?
So if nothing unexpected happens, she can always be Li Menglong's sister, but she still needs to grow up.

She also fantasized that one day in the future, she would be able to solve some problems for Li Menglong in front of him.

This is not for showing off, it's simply for the enjoyable experience.

So Xu Xian decided to do it herself, but she was at a disadvantage as the phone call could not be connected at all.

Fortunately, Xu Xian has accumulated some friends in the circle, which can be used at times like this.

After looking around for a while, I finally contacted an employee of that company.

However, the other party's words poured cold water on Xu Xian. According to the other party, he was also looking for these people in the company, and the company owed him more than one month's salary.

As for whether it is possible to find some compensation, such as the company's rent, equipment, etc., this person simply sent a few photos, all of which showed the company was empty.

Although this was all expected, Xu Xian was still unwilling to give up and kept wondering if she could still find another opportunity.

However, the melancholy scene of Xu Xian by the window was seen by the girls passing by. They knew that Xu Xian did not have a boyfriend, otherwise they would have thought that she had problems in her relationship.

After all, they are the maknae of the family, and they won’t watch Xu Xian worry alone.

So Xu Xian was forcibly dragged in, and the girls acted as if they were in a trial, indicating that Xu Xian could confess.

It wasn't a secret in the first place, so Xu Xian naturally had no need to hide it.

After the brief description, the girls were a little dumbfounded. Is Xu Xian starting to worry about this kind of problem now?
It’s not a question of how much money was lost, but this kind of issue of being cheated and losing money is difficult to link with the identity of an artist.

Are they sure they can still stand with Xu Xian in the future? They are no longer on the same level!

As expected, I shouldn't have told them this. There wasn't a single useful suggestion from them, but instead there were a lot of teasing remarks.

However, Xu Xian also knew that they had no ill intentions and were just trying to liven up the atmosphere. Unfortunately, it was difficult for her to laugh at the moment, which seemed to be a bit of a letdown for their good intentions.
