The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3722 Extra Thoughts

Li Eun-hee looked at Xu Xian blankly, quite surprised by her appearance.

"Why are you at my door? What are you holding in your hand?" she asked curiously.

The unique burnt aroma of coffee filled the air, and her mouth seemed to be filled with coffee.

Are you here to bring her coffee? Are you asking her for help?

Li Enxi thought she had seen through Xu Xian's little trick, but she didn't mind it: "Come in, don't do this next time, what is the relationship between us, you are my favorite sister."

This sentence sounded quite familiar to Xu Xian, as Li Menglong often said it.

At first, it could be understood that Li Menglong was fond of her, but after listening to it more, she always felt that he was trying to repay a favor.

So Li Enxi is also doing this?

"Ouni, you asked me to deliver it. Have you forgotten?" Xu Xian reminded.

"Me? When did I say that? I haven't even seen you." While Li Enxi was explaining, his hands were not idle and he directly chose the most expensive cup.

"But..." Xu Xian wanted to explain, but the other party had already started drinking, so it seemed redundant to continue explaining?

Fortunately, she didn't have any extra thoughts. To ask Li Enxi to do something, she had to "give gifts" in advance? That would be too much of an underestimation of Xu Xian's status in the company.

If she had to say, she wanted to get Li Enxi's recognition. Did Li Enxi feel her dedication in selecting coffee?

Being stared at by Xu Xian with a look that was no different from that of an owl. Not only was it full of warnings, it also looked a little cute if you looked at it for a long time.

Since she had drunk the other person's coffee, Li Enxi naturally had no intention of denying her debt. Besides, in this small piece of company, was there anything she couldn't solve?

It was just a matter of a word, she was mentally prepared.

"What do you need me to do? Just tell me. I'm always ready to serve you!"

Li Enxi also made a joke to herself, but the most taboo thing about a joke is that only one person laughs.

Seeing that Xu Xian's expression was still serious, Li Enxi's smile became more and more awkward. She hurriedly took a big sip of coffee, at least to buy herself some time.

Did she guess wrong? Did Xu Xian not come to her for help?

It is indeed possible. It may be that she has too many similar experiences in her daily life, which has made her form a certain fixed way of thinking.

Xu Xian is also a big darling in the company. Not to say that she is spoiled by everyone, but for the sake of the many people behind her, most people are willing to give her some convenience.

It can be said that what Li Enxi cannot do, Xu Xian may be able to do, so it is something outside the company?

Li Enxi thought he had grasped the point, swallowed the coffee, straightened his body, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and tried to look as imposing as possible: "Tell me, who do you want to cause trouble for, I will help you solve him!"

She still took on too much responsibility and made her promise without even asking for the specific person.

This is not only her own confidence, but also her trust in Xu Xian. She doesn't think Xu Xian will cause much trouble.

However, her guess failed again. After guessing several times, the coffee was almost finished, but she was still confused.

"I admit defeat, I really can't drink any more, you can do whatever you want."

Li Enxi lay down on the chair and stared at Xu Xian with squinted eyes. She was still guessing in her heart that she was not convinced and felt that the loss was too unfair.

Xu Xian looked at the other person's dejected look and didn't know whether she should laugh.

She was indeed a little unhappy at first, mainly because her efforts were not recognized and Li Enxi didn't even notice it.

But after listening to such outrageous speculations for so long, she was actually somewhat moved. This was all because of Li Enxi's love for her.

And she knew clearly that these words were not just empty talk or clichés. It was just that nothing real had happened on her side. Otherwise, Li Enxi's promise could become a reality at any time.

"Thank you so much, unni. I knew you loved me the most!" Xu Xian expressed her gratitude in a sweet and naive way.

Li Enxi waved her arms casually: "You'd better tell me quickly, what answer do you want to hear?"

"Hey, is the coffee good?"

"Coffee? Delicious?" Li Enxi stared at the residue in the cup, her mind in a mess for a moment.

The coffee was spiked? Seohyun spit in it?

No, the little girl is not so naughty. Besides, Xu Xian should not have any hostile feelings towards her.

So why did she ask this question? Is the coffee expensive? Or is the coffee expired?

Seeing Li Enxi's brows furrowed, Xu Xian knew that her words might have caused misunderstanding on the other party.

As the helmsman of the company, although Li Enxi is always late and leaves early, that is just a physical rest.

On the spiritual level, she doesn't say that she is always thinking, but she is indeed under tremendous pressure.

After all, it concerns the jobs of hundreds of people. One decision may very likely lead to the loss of the wealth that an ordinary person has accumulated in his lifetime.

Li Enxi must be cautious. While taking on her responsibilities, she must always remain vigilant.

As a result, even though she was so tired, Xu Xian actually added extra mental work to her. The key point was that even Xu Xian herself felt that it was inappropriate for such a small matter.

So Xu Xian hurriedly explained: "I prepared these coffees specially for you. If you think they are good, just praise me."

After saying this, Xu Xian lowered her blushing cheeks. The reason why she had been unwilling to explain herself was because it was embarrassing.

Who would ask for compliments on their own? This kind of thing is always done with sincerity, but now she makes it seem like a forced sale.

Li Enxi opened her mouth wide and stared at the remaining cups of coffee on the table for a long time. She felt like a clown.

Xu Xian's request was too simple, so simple that everything Li Eun Hee had said before seemed more like a joke.

What should she do now? Pretending to be dead probably won't work, as Xu Xian might help her call an ambulance.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Enxi finally relied on the thick skin she had accumulated during business negotiations to successfully respond to the topic: "Well, I didn't realize before that today's coffee is indeed quite to my taste. Xiaoxian, you are thoughtful."

Xu Xian's face turned a few shades redder, and her heels kept spinning on the ground, as if she wanted to make a hole so that she could jump down. However, Li Enxi had already taken the lead in "breaking the ice", and Xu Xian couldn't continue to be in a stalemate, so she could only cooperate reluctantly and said, "No, it's just that Ouni is good at tasting."

"No, your coffee is better."

"No, it turns out that Ouni's taste buds are better..."

The business exaggeration between the two continued for quite a while, but eventually came to an end due to the limitation of each other's vocabulary.

But why doesn’t Xu Xian leave yet?

Li Enxi thought she had given enough good reviews. Could it be because there were still a few cups of coffee left?

For this reason, she had to take action again, but after reluctantly drinking two sips, she really couldn't drink it anymore.

Considering the previous misunderstanding, Li Enxi decided to be more straightforward this time: "Save the remaining coffee for later drinking. If you are free, I will be busy first."

"Uh... okay, you've worked hard." Xu Xian politely retreated, but when she stood outside the door, she almost banged her head against the wall in frustration.

As a guest, she was forcibly kicked out by the host. Although Lee Eun-hee probably didn't mean that, it made no difference to Xu Xian.

It had been a long time since she had felt disliked by others, and this feeling was not a pleasant one.

It would be fine if she could just leave like this, as the long time would be enough to heal any wounds, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and push open the door again.

"Unnie, excuse me for bothering you again. I need your help with something."

After Xu Xian said this, she cursed Li Menglong in her heart. If it wasn't for this man, would she be so embarrassed?

Li Enxi's smile was much more sincere. She said that this was the experience she had gained after so many years, and there was no reason to fail easily.

She beckoned Xu Xian to come closer, and smiled gently: "Don't be impatient, talk slowly, I am very patient..."

Ten minutes later, Xu Xian walked out of the office backwards, holding the note given by Li Enxi, saying thank you.

After making sure the door was closed tightly, she let out a long sigh and thought to herself: Is this the feeling when you ask someone to do something for you?

I have to say it’s not very pleasant. It seems I should do less of such things in the future.

After sorting out her emotions, Xu Xian began to move around the offices on the third floor.

Because she had Li Enxi's approval slip and her own identity, things went quite smoothly. In less than half an hour, she had received the remittance from the company on her card.

"Whose phone is ringing? Do you need my help to check the content? If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!"

Kim Taeyeon kept performing here in a pretentious manner, which made the other girls pout constantly. It was really hard for them to feel honored to have such a captain.

"The youngest member went to the bathroom, who are you asking?" Lee Sunkyu couldn't help but say, "If you are really interested, go and see. Who here doesn't know what kind of person you are?"

"What's wrong with me? I, Kim Taeyeon, have lived an upright life and have a great reputation. Don't you agree?" Kim Taeyeon stared at everyone around her with wide eyes.

She wanted to see the details on everyone's face, and would make a big note of it in her mind if anyone dared to disagree with her point of view.

Lee Sunkyu sighed silently. Considering that she had been recorded in the little notebook, she became more unscrupulous: "Don't threaten them. It makes you look more like a villain."

"Lee Sunkyu, stop talking nonsense here. When did I ever threaten anyone? I, Kim Taeyeon, don't even know how to write the word 'threaten'."

"Is this something to be proud of? You can't even read the characters. You didn't close your eyes and sign the contract, did you?"

"You...that was a reference! Do you understand? It doesn't really mean that I can't read!" Kim Taeyeon finally understood that this woman was clearly provoking her, so she must not be fooled.

But why is the other party so hard-working? Considering her previous actions, is there a big secret in this text message?

Originally, she didn't have such a strong curiosity, but now no one can stop her. She must confirm the content here. This is all for Xu Xian. Otherwise, what if their youngest member was deceived?

"Yes, you must maintain this shameless look. When Xu Xian is in her seventies or eighties, you can still use this excuse to read her text messages." Lee Sun-kyu continued.

However, Kim Taeyeon was completely attracted by the content of the text message. She poked her finger on the screen of her mobile phone and counted the numbers on it with great effort.

"How much is this? It's actually money from the company. Is it the payment period? Why didn't anyone notify me?"

Kim Taeyeon looked at the people around her, trying to get an explanation from them.

The other girls watched Kim Taeyeon's performance and laughed happily:

"You need to improve your acting skills. If you can't even fool us, how can you fool the audience?"

"Are you stupid? If we really need to inform you, shouldn't we inform you first and then let you tell us?"

"You're giving money to the youngest behind our backs. Isn't that too much of a threat to sow discord?"

The girls didn't believe what Kim Taeyeon said at all, and even took the initiative to tease her.

Kim Taeyeon was angry and anxious. She was even a little curious about what kind of image she had in the eyes of these women.

Since she didn't believe it, she simply walked over and put the phone screen in the women's faces. Now, anyone with a normal eye would know whether she was lying or not.

"It's actually true? Is the maknae taking private work behind our backs?" Tiffany gave her guess quite directly.

The girls didn't react at all. It was only because Kim Taeyeon felt sorry for the little girl that she took the initiative to explain, "Private work is paid in cash. At the very least, it's paid into personal cards. How can it be paid into the company's account? Do you think the tax is not high enough?"

A beat late, Tiffany nodded, put herself into the situation, and agreed with Taeyeon's judgment.

It's not that she is too naive. It's just that she has had similar experiences before.

If I have to say, they have collectively taken on some private work, most of which are at events like compilation concerts, where they sing a few extra songs or participate in some halftime interactions.

Most of these things happened during the period when they were at the height of their popularity. At that time, they watched helplessly as all kinds of sky-high fees flowed into the company, while they, as the parties involved, could only smell the smell.

They are really unbalanced, so they can only do some small tricks secretly, which can be regarded as a way to earn some extra money for themselves.

They once thought that this was their little secret, which was hidden very well and the company was completely unaware of it.

But when they grow up and look back, they will really lament their naivety back then.

They are surrounded by company people. Unless they bribe all of them, there is no way the company would not know.

It's nothing more than giving them some leftovers while the company is feasting on them, so that they won't feel too resentful and thus delay the company's profit.

The benefits brought by this little trick are undoubtedly very low cost-effectiveness. Apart from saving money for outsiders, it may not bring much benefit to themselves. Kim Taeyeon believes that Seohyun will understand this.
