From that Korean city.

Chapter 748 Finalization and Doom
"You really spend a lot of money for women."

Li Minyu's words were not only heard by Lin Yi, but also heard by Taozi who was walking over. She looked at Lin Yi and said, "Oppa, how are you going to communicate with the company? If it's a waste of resources, let me just confront the company directly."

Like Lin Yuna, she has long regarded Lin Yi as a peach with zero ranking, and also feels unwilling to exchange resources for Shamao.

If she has to choose one, she might as well quit.

"You've been telling me to quit before. If the company really asks for too much or won't let me leave, I might as well quit. You should save those resources for Yoona, don't waste them on me. It's not worth it."

As they were talking, Taozi, who knew that Li Minyu was aware of the situation, no longer hid anything and sat down next to Lin Yi, hugged his arm and muttered.

On the opposite side, Li Minyu listened to Taozi's impressive answer, and his eyes brightened as he looked at her.

No wonder Lin Yoona was willing to share with this person. Just from this extremely clear-cut team-building idea, she has already surpassed many people.

"Taozi, just take a rest quietly. I will arrange other things with him. Besides, this matter is not as serious as you say. What are the resources and favors? The main thing is that I have cooperated with them before, so it would be good to get to know them better after interacting with them a few more times."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Li Minyu also followed up, "That's right, Sulli, you don't have to worry too much. In fact, the company has already had a set of response plans for your situation, but no matter which plan it is, it won't be so serious as to force you to quit the industry."

"What if there are no reasons or bargaining chips?" Taozi asked.

When asked, Li Minyu did not hesitate and told everything he knew, "If there is no such thing, at most you will be hidden away. When you are done with your work, they will continue to pressure you to participate in some messy commercial performances and organizations. It's a bit like Lin Yi settling scores later."

"We can't do this. Your mom V and Soojung still have to go on stage. We can't be too selfish."

Lin Yi's answer made Taozi look at him with a guilty look, "Oppa, you didn't tell me this before. You always told me to be selfish. Why do you say it differently now?"

"If you're not that familiar with each other and don't have any bargaining chips, it's normal to be a little selfish. But we've become familiar with each other over the past two years, and now we have a bargaining chip. Just treat it as throwing it out to a dog to eat, so that it won't bark and bite people everywhere."

Lin Yi's answer made Li Minyu and Taozi laugh.

Especially Li Minyu, he heard another layer of indifference from the above sentence.

Because according to the man in front of her, if he didn't know Victoria and Krystal and didn't consider anything, then Sulli would not suffer any loss in this matter except losing a job and income.

Taozi also figured this out and suddenly realized, "Yes, we can't let unnie and the others get involved."

Before, Taozi was busy with the baby, Lin Yi, and the trivial matters of going back home for the New Year. Because of her pregnancy, her brain capacity was not enough, and she became increasingly slow in thinking.

"Go help Shao Xi, I'll just talk to Li Minyu."

As Lin Yi finished speaking, Taozi, who was much more sensitive during pregnancy, immediately said, "Huh? Oppa, are you dissatisfied with me for being in the way?"

"I do not have."

Lin Yi smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, although Taozi has become sensitive, Lin Yi's priority is still at the top. "Okay, then I won't bother you. Oppa, drink some hot water. You just came in after being caught in the snow. Don't catch a cold."

"Ah."

Lin Yi touched Taozi's head and smiled slightly.

After watching Taozi return to the island, Li Minyu looked at Lin Yi again with a rare look of envy, "Is this considered a blessing of having two wives?"

In response, Lin Yi just asked him softly, "Don't tell me you don't have it."

"How many people do you think can be face to face in such harmony and know both sides?" Li Minyu replied coldly.

"OK, let's not talk about this topic. Let's go back to the beginning. Can the bargaining chip I gave you help you solve this matter?"

Raising his hand, Lin Yi smiled. He didn't intend to continue chatting with Li Minyu, but to quickly discuss a solution to the peach issue.

Li Minyu on the opposite side lowered his head again and glanced at the information that Lin Yi sent to him. He watched it carefully and repeatedly several times. Only after Li Shaoxi had brought the delivered breakfast to Lin Yi did he slowly look up.

He let out a long sigh and said, "It's not a big problem, but there is one thing I have to explain first, that is, Shirley's situation cannot be concealed. What will happen next depends on the extent of the spread of SM."

"Will it affect other people?" Lin Yi continued to ask.

"There must be."

Li Minyu also gave a direct answer, "If you say there is no impact at all, then you are definitely lying. As a group, it is impossible for a member to be absent for ten months or even a year without any impact."

Taozi, who was already sitting on the sofa with Li Shaoxi, pursed her lips and looked a little depressed.

But there is not a single regret.

As for this matter and the baby in her belly, she feels that it is the most correct thing she has done in the past 20 years of her life. She will never regret it, and will not blame anyone.

Perhaps because of one's own selfish desires, it will indeed have a negative impact on some people.

But all she could think of was to make up for it in the future.

I don't regret anything.

Li Minyu, who also noticed this, changed his tone and continued, "But it shouldn't have a big impact. For now, FX's contribution to the company's revenue is still very considerable.

If the company's previous public relations style was followed, they would probably give Shirley a name for a disease and have her disappear for a while.

Then the remaining members of Fx will continue to perform as a four-member group and run around.

As for what will happen next, I don’t dare to speculate any more.”

Taozi, who was a little worried at first, felt much more relaxed after listening to his explanation. "If it can be like what you said, it will be great."

“I don’t think it’s too far off.”

Li Minyu glanced at Taozi's belly and continued to say words that could make her feel at ease.

Lin Yi also nodded and said, "Then let's talk according to your method. Do you have enough chips?"

"If the cast you provided for this film is correct, and it is indeed Chow Yun-fat + two superstars + a multi-faceted actor, and SM Entertainment is still not satisfied with this kind of film resources, then I think what Sulli said before is absolutely correct. She should pack her bags and quit the industry as soon as possible to avoid being exploited."

Lee Min Woo's complaints drew Peach's laughter, "See, Oppa, I said it should be like this."

After being scolded, Lin Yi put a tube into the bottle of soy milk in front of him and handed it to Taozi, intending to shut her up. "Can't you just have breakfast quietly?"

"Humph~"

But after talking about this, the topic about peaches has been settled.

Afterwards, while eating breakfast, Lin Yi briefly chatted with Li Minyu about the situation on Lin Yoona's side.

In this regard, Li Minyu's answer was very concise, "YoonAh's development path is the smoothest channel and direction I have ever seen. There is a bright road ahead without any obstacles. You don't have to worry about her having any problems. You just need to think about how many threatening letters you will receive when she really becomes a superstar in the future." "It would be best to give her razor blades so that I can resell them and make some pocket money."

Faced with such words, Lin Yi was not afraid at all, and even made a small joke.

Li Minyu was too lazy to waste time with this guy. After repeatedly confirming the issue of chips and the degree of flexibility of the upper and lower limits of this matter, he stood up and waved goodbye to the three people.

Negotiations are not something that can be done simply by talking about them. He still needs to go back and carefully consider his words and rhythm.

However, Lin Yi and Taozi were still very relieved and satisfied that this matter could be entrusted to him.

At this point, everything Lin Yi came here to deal with this morning has been done.

So after finishing breakfast, he first looked at Taozi and asked, "When will your afternoon trip start?"

"Before lunch, because I need to go to the beauty salon to get my makeup done. There are a lot of media on this trip, and I need to report it."

After listening to Taozi's answer, Lin Yi turned his head and looked at Li Shaoxi.

The little receptionist raised her hand sensibly and said, "Got it, I'll follow Zhenli in a bit, Oppa, don't worry."

"No, that's not what I want to ask. Taozi has an assistant watching her when she's working, so she doesn't need to worry too much. On the contrary, during the Chinese New Year, sometimes I get busy and I think it would be better if someone could take care of her."

After hearing this, Li Shaoxi instantly understood what Lin Yi was talking about, and then turned to look at Taozi.

However, Taozi didn't dare to look her in the eye, so she lowered her head and ate her breakfast bread slowly.

Because she was the one who asked Lin Yi to mention this matter to the receptionist.

Lin Yi rarely refused Taozi's request, let alone her at the moment, so he took the initiative to invite the receptionist to go back with him.

Li Shaoxi was silent for a moment, then pouted her lips and replied, "Then I'll go home this afternoon and ask grandma if she's willing to go out and travel to relax, okay?"

"This is acceptable."

Taozi smiled, and when Lin Yi saw her smile, he smiled too.

And he suggested an alternative to her, "Taozi, you can bother Hola a little more. If you really want to be with her, you can just trick her. She cares about you so much, she will definitely not leave you alone."

Taozi was startled when she got the solution, then she was delighted and smiled, "Oppa, you are so bad, but I like you so much~"

As she said that, she threw herself into Lin Yi's arms, hugged him happily and excitedly, and didn't want to move in that gentle embrace.

Li Shaoxi, who watched this scene happen, felt envious and depressed. "Ah, I say that's enough. I'm still here, can you please consider other people's feelings?"

"Hehe, Shaoxi is the best too."

Taozi was reluctant to let go of Lin Yi because of the resentment of the receptionist, but she still let go of Lin Yi and turned over to hug her. "As for Hola Ouni, Shao Xi, can you help me deceive her? I may not be so convincing on my own, but with your words, she will definitely believe it."

"Ouni, who should I look for first when the time comes to settle the score?" Li Shaoxi rolled his eyes helplessly as he didn't expect that he would be blamed for his complaint.

Taozi was very clear about the direction of the process and immediately pointed to Lin Yi, "Look for Oppa, this was his suggestion and has nothing to do with us."

Lin Yi laughed cheerfully, "Okay, I'll take care of all the problems."

Just like that, another thing was finalized.

Afterwards, Lin Yi sat on the sofa with Taozi in the studio, watched the prenatal education course together, listened to the prenatal education songs, and then sent her to the nanny car that came downstairs to pick her up.

Finally, I watched the car go away, then got back in the car and returned to my apartment to rest.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

Snowflakes were falling gently outside the window, covering most of the streets and rooftops outside.

The cold air of February with snow swept across Seoul with a slightly biting freshness, but there was a rare glimpse of sunshine.

Although the sunlight was weak, it still shined through the gaps in the curtains onto the bedroom floor, bringing a touch of warmth to the room.

In the room, Lin Yi, who had just returned home from the studio, was still lying on the bed, his face covered by a thin quilt, with only the sound of his gently rising and falling breathing.

Suddenly, a caller ID flashed on the screen of the mobile phone placed on the bedside, and the selfie filled the entire screen.

Because of what happened yesterday, Lin Yi didn't dare to mute his phone this time, so he was soon awakened by the incoming call and woke up from a deep dream.

Lin Yi slowly opened his sleepy eyes, his heavy eyelids narrowed his eyes into slits. He stared blankly for a long time at the reflection of the falling snow outside the window, then he turned his head to look in the direction where the ringing sound came from and glanced at the caller ID on the screen.

The familiar photo instantly reminded Lin Yi of the chat he had with the other party yesterday. After a brief hesitation and sobriety, he pressed the answer button.

"Hello~"

"You bastard, how many people do you want to stand up? It's not enough to stand up my sister, you want to stand me up too, right?"

Krystal's roar was heard from the other end of the phone, and the volume was so loud that it showed that she was really angry at the moment.

Lin Yi also quickly said, "I didn't stand you up, I just woke up."

"Slept for a whole day?" Krystal's voice softened after hearing this.

"Well, I went out to do some things early in the morning, and came back later to catch up on some sleep." Lin Yi continued to explain, stretched and rubbed his eyes.

His answer made Krystal unhappy again, "Why didn't you look for me when you got up in the morning?"

"I already told you, I'm out on some business, and I was thinking of looking for you later."

This is the truth, Lin Yi really didn't want to stand Krystal up, the time was just tentative.

"Then now."

"Okay, where are you?"

"It's in the clubhouse of your community."

"Ok?"
