Peninsula: After Bai Yueguang left, I went crazy killing people!

Chapter 852 Lover's Tribulation (Occupy the Pit Chapter)

"Have you heard that Mr. Lee Soo Man abused his power and has been embezzling company assets privately!"

"I was wondering why every time the artist's expenses are so high, but the things that come out don't seem to be worth the money. It turns out there is something fishy going on!"

"In fact, I've heard that the debut contracts of the company's artists are ridiculously low. Just think about it, even if you have to pay back the company's training fees, the figures given by the company are simply outrageous!"

"."

2 month 14 number.

On Valentine's Day.

Everyone in SM Entertainment was in a panic, as stories about Lee Soo-man kept coming to the surface of public opinion.

Some people began to attribute the serious depressive tendencies of their artists to Lee Soo-man.

even.
Those artists who unfortunately passed away
On the top floor, Lee Soo Man stood at the window, overlooking the busy street below, his face looking very grim.

In just the morning, his phone was almost blown up by calls from the company's shareholders.

What's worse, some people behind the scenes also conveyed messages of dissatisfaction.

"Damn you leeches!"

Thinking of this, Lee Soo Man couldn't help but curse viciously in a low voice.

When collecting the money, everyone was very happy.

When the critical moment comes when they are needed, no one can help.

"This time, you'll have to rely on yourself to get through this difficult time."

"You're the one who caused this mess anyway, so you should fill the hole yourself."

"You can rest assured that the people behind the other side will not be able to get out!"

"."

This was the answer Lee Soo-man received when he tried to ask for help early in the morning.

"West Eight***"

"Isn't he a small anchor? Who is standing behind him?!"

"."

Lee Soo Man could no longer maintain his usually kind face. At this moment, the old face reflected in the mirror looked angry and ferocious!
He boasted that he had always been in the position of a chess player overlooking the chessboard.

Li Yang is just a chess piece
When did he start to reverse the situation to what it is now?
Lee Soo Man couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand it at all.

He remembered that he had finalized the plan with the help of Cube's representative Ahn Yoo-hyung.

When he came to his senses, the little ant that he had allowed himself to be squeezed at first had actually become strong and threatening.

In less than half a month, I accelerated the plan.

结果
It has evolved into the dire situation we have now.

It's not just the shareholders who invested that are held accountable.

After the rumor of the Yin-Yang contract appeared, even those direct descendants who had always followed him began to feel dissatisfaction.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuman's expression became even uglier.

He had a hunch that if he didn't handle this matter well, he might really be in danger of being kicked out.

But how can we turn the situation around?

Lee Soo Man felt a splitting headache, as if he was facing a mess and had no idea where to start.

He thought he might need to find a quiet place to think carefully.

Can be followed immediately
With the new news conveyed by the secretary, Lee Soo-man had no chance to think at all.

"Bian Boxian held a press conference, crying about the tragic experiences he had experienced over the years, and at the same time revealing what he had done for you over the years." The secretary said tremblingly.

"Moragu!"

Lee Soo Man's old eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "Damn it, this guy dared to do this, isn't he worried about his reputation being damaged? This is something he did with his own hands. If I am attacked, Bian Baekhyun himself cannot escape responsibility."

"This..." The secretary was obviously a little hesitant.

"Say!"

Lee Soo Man's voice was loud, and his old voice was filled with anger, as if it was about to overturn the roof.

As soon as the words fell, a sighing voice came from outside the door, saying: "For the specific details, you should go to the press conference in person."

Nan Suying walked in and looked at the old man with complicated eyes.

She never thought that the once high-spirited president would one day be driven to the point of desperation.

"See it in person?"

Lee Soo Man was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to the computer and searched for the live interview of Byun Baekhyun. His old fingers were trembling slightly with unknown emotions. He typed the simple three words "Bian Baekhyun" continuously before he got the name right.

The moment when the computer screen interface cuts to the interview scene.

"SM Entertainment only needs obedient artists. If you reject me today, please believe that no entertainment company in the Peninsula will accept you."

"Are you willing to let your years of training go to waste?"

The old voice full of coercion was telling a memory that Lee Soo Man was almost confused about.

But soon, the memories that had been buried for a long time began to become clearer in my mind bit by bit.

Lee Soo Man remembered.

This was the scene when he first met Bian Baekhyun.

but
but
Looking at the recorder in Bian Baekhyun's hand on the screen, Lee Soo Man almost bit his teeth.

Byun Baekhyun was only a teenager at the time!

how come.
How dare you.
How could one be so thoughtful as to think of recording?

Although a simple recording cannot serve as effective evidence, the events of the past two days have accumulated one after another.
Lee Soo Man almost collapsed in the chair, and his old eyes lost their luster for a moment.

He had almost anticipated his own end.

want to come
"It can't get worse, right?" Lee Soo Man laughed at himself.

However, the next moment, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, making him stand up in panic.

"Hurry, go find Lee Seung-hyun and tell him to pack up all his things and go abroad!" Lee Soo-man almost shouted at Nam So-young.

However, he found that Nam So-young did not move, but just stood there quietly, looking at him with a very strange expression.

"Didn't you hear that?"

Lee Soo Man's inner anxiety was almost reaching its peak, and he suppressed his emotions and urged, "Go quickly!"

But then, after hearing the words coming from this side, all his strength was completely drained away.

"Lee Seung-hyun was arrested!"

Nan Suying said in a tone that was not sure whether it was a sigh, regret, or emotion, "I came here just to tell you about this."

"Moragu!"

Lee Soo Man's eyes suddenly burst out, at this moment, he was really panicked.

At this moment.
"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Lee Soo Man looked over and saw a calm figure standing at the door.

Zhuo Yongjun walked in, ignoring the almost stagnant atmosphere in the office, and just smiled and said, "Kakao's Zhang Yunan, together with Minister Song of National Gold, and Representative Jin Yingmin and others, have convened an emergency board meeting. Everyone is waiting for you in the meeting room now."

Lee Soo Man stared at him. Time seemed to be frozen at this moment by an inexplicable powerful force. No one in the room even blinked.

half an hour.

Lee Soo Man's anger faded away, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Go tell those people that I will be here soon."

"Inside."

Zhuo Yongjun nodded, and this time he returned to his wooden expression, as if the previous smile was just an illusion. He was about to leave but was stopped again.

"Do you hate me?" Zhuo Yongjun paused.

"I know you had a good relationship with Jonghyun, but you've been holding a grudge against me because of that incident."

Li Xiuman asked in a deep voice: "Now that the situation has come to this, can you tell me what role you play here?"

"I?"

Zhuo Yongjun tilted his head slightly, raised a self-deprecating smile, and said: "Can I say that I haven't had time to do anything yet?"

After saying that, he walked out slowly. The bright sunlight stretched his back until he disappeared.

Lee Soo Man suddenly slumped in his chair.

Powerless
A deep feeling of powerlessness came over me.

Soon, he met Nan Suying's gaze and said self-deprecatingly, "What about you? Have you ever complained about my stubbornness and dictatorialness over the years?"

After the words fell, Nan Suying did not answer, but just lowered her head slightly, hiding her complicated expression, sighed softly, and said: "It's time to go to the board of directors."

She suddenly understood somewhat about Lee Soo Man's current ending.

Over the years, due to Lee Soo-man's greed, the company has been in decline for a long time, and has even begun to be overtaken by other companies.

Have you ever complained about yourself?
Of course I complained about it.

But think about it again, if even his most loyal follower is resentful, what will be the attitude of those who are already dissatisfied with Lee Soo-man's actions?
All betrayed!

Nam So-young looked up at Lee Soo-man who had already stood up, and this word suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Let's go!"

Lee Soo Man said with a smile, and then he went out first.

He may want to regain his former high-spirited self, or he may want to leave himself with an ending of a hero in his twilight years.

But behind him, Nan Suying only saw the old man's sadness and loneliness.

In her eyes, Lee Soo Man at this moment was no different from an ordinary old man.

SM Entertainment's exclusive meeting room for senior executives is now filled with SM shareholders.

BoA, Kangta and others who hold a few tenths of shares can only sit in the audience seats.

The main seats were filled with faces Li Yang had seen before, as well as some he had not seen before.

However, what is relatively consistent is that the expressions on everyone's faces at this moment are terribly ugly.

Not just for Lee Soo Man.

A large part of the hostility is also directed at Li Yang.

Everyone knows that at this moment, on the big screen hanging at the top of the conference room, the stock curve of SM Entertainment is turning green all the way, and an absolute part of the credit comes from the young man who is currently sitting in the fourth seat to the left of the main seat.

At this moment, the dazzling green on the big screen is showing that SM’s stock price is worth 8.3 won per share.

Two days ago, the number was 10.4.

In these two days alone, everyone present suffered huge losses, so there was no way they could give Li Yang a good face.

Li Yang seemed to be oblivious to this.

Judging from the stock market curve, he also lost a lot, but compared to everyone else, he could be considered one of the calmest people in the room.

"I didn't expect Lee Soo Man to have done so many things in private."

At this moment, Li Yang, who was chatting with Zhang Yunan, couldn't help but said with a smack of his lips.

He had little knowledge of the entertainment company and previously thought that Lee Soo Man had embezzled the company's finances.

Who would have thought that this old guy's artist management system would be so harsh and perverted.
Li Yang himself did not expect that the effect of sparking public opinion would far exceed his expectations.

of course.

His own traffic and the former popular artists who have stood up and spoken out one after another are also very important reasons.

Ordinary people cannot give these people the courage to stand up at the same time.

"So, there is no need for him to manage the company anymore."

Zhang Yunan said this calmly with a relaxed smile on his face, as if he was chatting with a friend. Then he asked, "By the way, how are Lee Sung-soo's preparations going?"

"Is it almost ready?"

Li Yang looked at the Red Magic watch on his wrist and quickly said, "Calculate the time. When the meeting is over, the live broadcast over there should start."

Zhang Yunan nodded after hearing this, and soon, he smiled at Li Yang and said, "Once the video comes out and SM's stock price drops to the freezing point, then it will all depend on our own abilities."

Then he smiled and asked, "How is it, are you excited?"

"Are you okay?" Li Yang chuckled.

"This is a market worth nearly 1 trillion won. Why don't you look excited at all?"

Zhang Yunan asked with interest: "Isn't this your first time dealing with stocks?"

“My greatest characteristic is self-awareness.”

Li Yang smiled innocently, harmlessly, and said, "Even if I borrowed some money, it's just a small shrimp in front of you, Yun An."

"A small fry who pulled Lee Soo Man down from the altar?" Zhang Yunan smiled even more.

But before he could finish his words, the protagonist he was talking about had already appeared.

Lee Soo Man sat directly in the main seat, his old eyes scanning the former subordinates and partners in front of him, an ambiguous smile appeared on his old face, and he said: "Don't you have something important to say? Let's get started!"

After the words fell, everyone in the audience looked at each other, and then Minister Song cast a wink at the secretary who had been preparing for a long time.

The secretary began to verbally list all of Lee Soo Man's crimes.

“Financial embezzlement.”

“Exploiting artists.”

“It has caused immeasurable losses to the company.”

"."

"Okay, there's no need to mention these things anymore."

Lee Soo Man paused for a while, and seemed to be getting impatient, so he interrupted and said, "Let's start talking about the business decision-making process."

The secretary stopped talking and subconsciously looked at Director Song. After receiving an approving look, he announced, "Well, now let's vote on Director Zhang Yunan's suggestion that SM Entertainment change its management. Those who agree should raise their hands, and vice versa."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yunan raised his hand first, and people responded one after another.

In what seemed like the blink of an eye, in the entire conference room, only Nam So-young's hand was not raised.

"Zhang Yunan's sensible proposal was successful!"

The secretary continued, "The new manager is Lee Sung-soo, who was nominated by the National Public Fund."

Another round of voting began. Obviously, the results that all parties had agreed on in advance were successfully implemented with almost no obstacles.

Then, several decisions made by managers were pushed forward.

"Nam So-young's job position change"

“Kim Young-min management focuses on change.”

"Yu Yongzhen's voting rights on the board of directors have been revoked."

"Li Yang was promoted to director of SM Entertainment's strategic department!"

"."

Lee Soo Man was kicked out!
It’s a done deal!

The only thing that seemed a little strange was that Lee Soo-man, who was always domineering and arbitrary, was surprisingly silent this time, with an ambiguous smile on his face.

"it is good!"

"very good!"

"You guys are really nice!"

When the board meeting was about to end, Lee Soo Man finally spoke, his tone was melancholy, and then he said to Zhang Yunan and Li Yang with a half-smile: "You better be careful, I won't give up so easily."
