CJ Entertainment Head Office Building, No. 66, Sangamsan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Sitting on the sofa in Li Meijing's office, Li Chenghao looked at the TVN Broadcasting Bureau building not far away and muttered: "I never realized they were so close before."
The secretary gently placed the cup of green tea in front of Li Chenghao and said with a smile: "President Nim, President Nim's meeting has been temporarily extended for twenty minutes. Please have a cup of tea and take a rest."
"I understand, Secretary Cui, call Representative Gao Jianxi to the office."
twenty minutes later
Li Meijing, who pushed open the door and walked in, looked at Li Chenghao who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and smiled: "Is today a special day? You are sitting here."
Li Chenghao stood up and bent down: "Good morning, President Nim."
"Okay, brat"
Instructing Li Chenghao to take a seat, Li Meijing also sat beside him, crossed his legs, put his hands together on his knees and looked at Li Chenghao: "SK Group Choi Chenggen performed well on his birthday night."
Not surprised
In addition to Li Shanhao's friends, the people who appeared in the bar room that night naturally also included people from Li Meijing's side.
Spreading his hands, Li Chenghao looked regretful: "It's a pity that the quality is poor, otherwise something more interesting would have happened."
Chatted for a few words
Li Chenghao got to the point and handed a ppt file to Li Meijing: "President Nim, this is the production plan for the July large-scale special stage of the TVN Broadcasting Bureau Music Center."
Li Meijing took the document and glanced at it casually: "You, the president, should handle such a small matter in person?"
Li Chenghao explained carefully: "The time is set at 7pm on Saturday, July 8, 2017. The location is the Royal Institute of Technology in Melbourne, the capital of country y. The theme is the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Vietnam. The friendship concert."
"The list of proposed performers includes 20 singer groups including Girls' Generation, IU, BTS, exo, twice, redvelvet, blackpink, wannaone, apink, fx, mamamoo, got7, etc."
"Preliminary announcements will start on June 24. The tvn publicity department is preparing manuscripts. Ticket pre-sales on the official website will begin on July 2. All proceeds from this concert will be donated to elderly people over 70 years old living alone to improve their daily lives."
Li Meijing looked at Li Chenghao with gentle eyes throughout the whole process.
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands: "Chenghao, you are becoming more and more mature. You have given enough attention to the theme of the concert, and you can use the concert to implement charity. Although the amount of expenses is not small, reputation cannot be achieved with money."
What you can buy is well made.”
Li Chenghao waved his hands: "President Nim, this project was proposed by Director Han Sunya of the Music Center of the TVN Broadcasting Bureau. I am just here to make a report based on the content."
Li Meijing raised her hand and patted Li Chenghao on the shoulder: "You kid, doesn't my aunt know that you came here for other purposes?"
It is just a normal work promotion plan of the broadcasting bureau in a certain natural month. It is uploaded directly to the company's oa process and Li Meijing will review and approve it. There is no need for on-site reporting at all.
Inviting those performers was easy for Li Chenghao. He had been the music business manager at CJ Entertainment for four years. If he didn't even have this ability, wouldn't it be in vain?
If any boss of a major entertainment agency doesn't know Li Chenghao's identity, if he offends him, the artists affiliated with the company can be disbanded on the spot.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Li Chenghao still acts like a child sometimes in front of Li Meijing, especially when asking for money.
"Auntie, Z Entertainment Company is about to sign an artist contract. The expenses required for official operation..."
After saying that she would unconditionally support Li Chenghao, Li Meijing took out the check very domineeringly: "You can fill in the amount yourself."
Li Chenghao was not polite. He took the check and started to fill in the numbers. Looking at the strings of zeros, Li Meijing reminded: "Ah, am I a banker?"
In the end, Li Chenghao filled in 5 billion h yuan.
After signing, Li Meijing tore off the check, picked up the checkbook and hit Li Chenghao on the head: "What else?"
"I want to be alone"
"Can't you just transfer the person you want? What do you want from me?"
Just as he was talking, the secretary knocked on the office door and stood by the door: "President Nim, mbk Gao Jianxi on behalf of Nim is here."
Li Chenghao nodded towards Li Meijing.
"Let him in"
Gao Jianxi, who was waiting at the door, quickly adjusted his collar, took a deep breath and walked into the office.
Looking at Li Meijing and Li Chenghao sitting on the sofa, I murmured in my heart: "What on earth brought me here, do you want to fire me?"
When he came to the two of them, he greeted them respectfully: "President nim, president nim"
Li Chenghao spoke slowly: "I called you here today because I have something for you to do."
With this tone, could it be that someone in the company had offended him? He was called here just to settle matters.
"Tara member Park Ji-yeon, her artist contract ended early."
"knew"
Li Meijing looked at Li Chenghao and asked him if he had anything else to explain.
Li Chenghao waved his hand calmly: "Go and do it."
In less than a minute, Gao Jianxi, who had rushed over anxiously along the way, was sent away.
"Chenghao, a problem that can be solved with a phone call, why don't you call someone over..."
"Auntie, attitude determines how serious a person is in doing things. If you don't let him go there in person, he won't understand the importance of this matter."
"importance?"
Li Chenghao didn't hide anything and told Li Meijing about his signing with iu.
"So, everything revolves around signing IU?"
"Yes, IU has joined the company, and there will be more artists in the future. Since we have to do something, we must do our best. In three years, we will be on par with the three major entertainment giants, S.M, JYP, and YG. In five years, we will be the leader."
Li Meijing saw through Li Chenghao's ambition.
Five years later, Li Chenghao has just passed his thirties. It seems that the experiences of the past few years have ignited his greed for the position of the next chairman of CJ Group.
"Be careful, you know what I say."
Lee Sung-ho left the office of the chairman of CJ Entertainment.
Walk for five minutes and take the elevator to the seventh floor of the TVN headquarters building.
Office door
Jin Yaxi pointed to the reception room next to her: "President Nim, Iu is here. He said that he made an appointment to meet with President Nim today."
Li Chenghao glanced at the closed door of the reception room and thought it was her manager who came by himself. Unexpectedly, IU also came with him.
"Where's the gift I asked you to prepare yesterday?"
Jin Yaxi bent over and opened the drawer, took out a delicate shopping bag and handed it to Li Chenghao: "President Nim, what I prepared is Cartier's classic love bracelet."
Li Chenghao grabbed the shopping bag and strode towards the reception room.
now
In the reception room, IU was drinking tea and eating cakes, soothing Pei Zhonghan beside him: "Oppa, don't be nervous, you are the one who wants to be the representative."
"Zhien, I don't want to be nervous, but suddenly I have to meet President Li Chenghao. I have known him before, his character..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chenghao opened the door of the reception room.
Pei Zhonghan trembled, and when he saw Li Chenghao appearing at the door, he stood up and bent 90 degrees: "Good morning, Minister Nim. I am Pei Zhonghan, IU's manager. Please take good care of our IU."
IU pulled the corner of Bae Jonghan's clothes while saying hello to Li Chenghao: "Good morning, President Nim. Oppa is very nervous, so he said what he said without thinking through his brain. Please don't mind, President Nim."
Pei Zhonghan reacted and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, President Nim, I didn't convert for a while."
"sit down"
Putting the shopping bag on the small round coffee table, Li Chenghao looked at Pei Zhonghan, who was sitting upright and looking a little pale: "Relax."
"Yes, President Nim, I'm very relaxed."
Turning to look at iu: "Park Ji-yeon's matter has been settled."
"So fast?"
Pointing at Pei Zhonghan: "He is the company representative you chose?"
Iu nodded firmly and said, "Yes, Oppa and I have worked together for ten years. Wherever he is, I will be there."
"I understand. I suggest you go outside and confirm with Park Ji-yeon about signing a new company."
IU didn't get up immediately until Pei Zhonghan nodded to indicate that it was okay, and then he temporarily left the reception room uneasily.
Only Li Chenghao and Bae Jonghan are left.
The first thing Li Chenghao said was: "From now on, you are the representative of the company, not IU's agent. Remember your identity." This chapter has been completed!
