Chapter 349 Human nature is like this (Part 2) (2 in 1)(1/2)
"How could Oppa think of treating me to coffee?" One morning in late March, Xu Xian, who had just put down an umbrella in a café in Cheongtandong, was full of vigilance in his first words. .
"Thinking of it, I think of it." Kim Jong-ming replied with a smile. "I am not your teacher Li Xiuman. Are you still worried that I want to fire you if I ask you to drink coffee?"
By the way, there are so many cafes in Korea, and coffee culture is very popular, but there is a very interesting subculture here, that is, in the workplace, if your superior suddenly asks you to drink coffee instead of drinking soju together after get off work, then the 10th** is not a good thing, and it is even very likely to be to inform you that you were fired.
Of course, Maine-Nei also understood the meaning of this joke. He also knew that many people had been fired in the company recently, and they were all assistants around Xika. So she tilted her head and looked at Kim Jong-ming carefully, and refused to sit down for a long time, as if she wanted the real meaning of this joke.
"Sit down." Kim Jong-ming urged. "What are you busy with recently?"
"Drinking coffee." Xu Xian seemed to be joking, and as soon as she sat down, she walked along. "Do you know how to drink coffee from people? "
"I believe." Kim Jong-ming nodded repeatedly. "You can watch you drink coffee in various paparazzi magazines every day..."
"I don't know why those reporters keep staring at me." Xu Xian said with a chuckle. "But I am the opposite of Sister Taeyeon. She basically has no friends except company staff and group members. I work very hard to find friends everywhere like an ordinary person, so she must have information when she sneaks out. I sneaks out that only drinks coffee with classmates... Of course, it's mainly college classmates, slugs, and can only find friends in slug college."
"How long has it been? How can you remember this?" Kim Jong-ming was immediately embarrassed.
"It's only one year." Xu Xian was very confident. "Do you know that because of your words, now when we talk about our Dongguo University on the Internet, we are directly Slug University. My classmates misunderstood me and said that I'm smearing the school outside..."
"After the TV series comes out, have you posted a special explanation?" Kim Jong-ming smiled dryly. "I am the only one in Heidong National University. You are showing your true feelings and leaving directly. A typical love for the school is like loving your family..."
"If there is no explanation, Oppa thinks I'll come today?"
Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment: "You just ignored me for almost a year because of this?"
“What do you think?”
"I thought you were very busy."
Xu Xian rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
"That's what he said." Kim Jong-ming thought. "I will have a donation ceremony for the teaching building of the East National University next month. Although I'm going to give money, will my shoes be thrown away if I go?"
"Who knows?" Xu Xian replied disapprovingly. "Maybe someone will ask you for an autograph. Maybe other people may not care about it except for me who likes being serious... Slugs, etc., in fact, everyone is talking about it myself. As for me, I probably am so obsessed with it because I am the person involved."
Jin Zhongming was speechless.
"So, what's wrong with oppa looking for me?" Xu Xian pointed the drink list to the waiter beside him, and was considered to be the main topic.
"Wait for this question." Kim Jong-ming also ordered a cup of coffee casually. "I have a customer... asked me to finish the matter with him."
"What's going on at work?" Xu Xian looked surprised.
"It's almost the same." Jin Zhongming nodded.
"Isn't it good for me to watch the work matters?" Xu Xian became even more confused.
The coffee was delivered, and Kim Jong-ming patted the seat on his side: "Not to mention this, you can sit here first and make a seat for them..."
Huinie was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was not that Jin Zhongming deliberately asked her to listen to something, but that customer had arrived early and had arrived! Sure enough, she picked up the coffee and sat on the side of Jin Zhongming, while looking towards the door of the cafe, and happened to see a middle-aged man entering the cafe in the rain... The rain outside was too big or small, and it was still very obvious that someone came in on a weekday morning.
"Representative Kim Jong-ming!" The visitor ignored his wet coat, but first bowed to Kim Jong-ming with a smile, and then instinctively squinted his eyes and looked at Seo Hyun. "I didn't expect Miss Seo Hyun is here too?"
"Xiaoxian is my new secretary." Kim Jong-ming said shamelessly. "I intend to let her deal with some public welfare matters in several committees..."
Xu Xian was speechless, but outsiders couldn't break up the other party's table in front of her... Moreover, just as she saluted the guest, she suddenly remembered some old things, so she became even more uncomfortable.
The person who came was very accidental, and almost immediately understood from Xu Xian's expression that Kim Jong-ming was talking nonsense... But how to say it, people just talk nonsense, and Xu Xian stayed here, so what else do you want? You don't even know what it was like to ask him to come!
"I'll introduce you to Xiaoxian." Kim Jong-ming pointed at the person casually. "Mr. Li Mingjiu, president of D Society..."
The previous second, Xu Xian's eyes were still smiling, but the next second, it opened.
Kim Jong-ming immediately laughed: "President Lee's reputation is really..."
Li Mingjiu himself also found it a little funny: "Compared with Miss Xu Xian and Miss Yoona, this personality is really unique."
Xu Xian also understood that he had lost his composure, so he quickly lowered his head awkwardly and apologized.
"Xiaoxian's personality is really interesting." Kim Jong-ming continued to smile.
"It's okay." Li Mingjiu waved his hand, but took the initiative to curb his smile. "Representative Jin Zhongming, when it rains, we can talk about it when there is no one... Let's say that. I will do my best to do what you ordered. After all, I also want to make more good relationships with people like you."
"Not necessarily..." Kim Jong-ming's smile had not faded. "Some things are not harmful to you, but if you don't explain them thoroughly, you may not be willing to do it."
Li Mingjiu immediately looked solemn.
"Okay, I'll talk first." Jin Zhongming sighed slightly. "I know exactly what you are doing in D-soc, so I want you to report your business deals to me..."
Li Mingjiu felt his eyebrows jump suddenly: "What business deal?"
"It's the kind you think." Jin Zhongming picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. "Who wants to cover up the mess, and what kind of materials to cover it, and when will it be sent out... You don't think I want to see your company's tax bill? In short, I mean, I won't delay your business, but after receiving it and before sending it out, you always have to tell me."
Li Mingjiu smiled bitterly: "Jin means that this really killed me. In fact, I also know that relying on the entertainment industry to make a living, especially when eating in this extremely harmful way, I always give Jin to you, the landlord, and you have to pay the farmer's membership fee, right? That's it. As long as it involves the cubes and two Miss Zheng's affairs, I will definitely not touch them, and I will not even let someone touch their materials at the beginning... What do you think?"
The Manai, who kept his head down and didn't say anything, seemed to have some clarity. By the way, she felt a little confused just now, but now that she is an idol in her own right, how could she not understand what the president of the D club is doing?
It is nothing more than collecting scandals from artists and collecting scandals in your hands. Then, if a political and business tycoon makes a scandal, he will send out the artist's news, which will make the most money. If no one needs him to cover it up, he should have to sell it to the artist himself or their agency. But if even the agency doesn't want it, or the news itself is high enough, Li Mingjiu will take the initiative to release things before the news expires like a real paparazzi.
This kind of person is more hateful than a simple paparazzi!
Kim Jong-ming glanced at the Kuai Nei beside him with a smile, then turned around and continued to stare at Li Mingjiu: "President Li said this, it seems that if you dare to touch me if I don't mention this today? Is that what I mean?"
"I dare not." Li Mingjiu shook his head quickly. "If you have an idea, I will definitely not be able to eat this bowl of rice. But Representative Kim, this industry is the foundation of my establishment. I broke all my old capital and opened the old company. I even became terrible for this reputation! Do you know that although it was in the Tao before, I still had a reputation in the entertainment industry, which was stronger than Bai Changshu. Several artists who worked together were called brothers and sisters. As soon as this opened, Song Hye Kyo and Won Bin wrote congratulations to me." As he said that, Li Mingjiu waved his hand to stop the waiter from going up to hand over the drink order. He was really not in the mood to order coffee now. "So, if there is any tips here, I still have to ask Representative Kim to 'learn' me..."
Kim Jong-ming smiled, but did not answer directly, but turned his head and looked outside the store: "President Li, your business should be the same as an antique store. It is a typical case of eating for half a year if you don't open for half a year, right?"
"It's just an explanation." Li Mingjiu became obviously a little restless.
"It may not be possible. I just think it will be difficult for you to enter any big business within half a year..."
"Why?"
"Because I don't allow it."
"Is this what Representative Kim's 's explanation'?" Li Mingjiu's face turned blue. "Representative Kim, why is this? Not to mention Miss Yoon-er, I will give you enough face..."
Mengnei suddenly remembered that the other party had said before that Yoona and her own personality were different, as if this person had enough contact with Yoona and Oni, and it was through Kim Jong-ming, and Yoona's decisive breakup with Lee Seung-ki a few days ago, and the case of Lee Seung-ki's father... As she thought about it, Mengnei couldn't help but stared at the oppa next to her, but she didn't say anything.
"Even if you don't talk about favors and just reason, this business will not be gone without Li Mingjiu!" Li Mingjiu continued to plead, and his words were sincere. "For many years, it's a convention to use news in the entertainment industry to cover up political and business scandals. With me here, things will be more organized and more controllable. Why do you have to kill them all? You said hello, although I really won't open for half a year, but others will still open for it!"
"It's not like that." Jin Zhongming shook his head repeatedly. "I said that if you don't open for half a year, it's not just for half a year. And it's not just you, but others can't open for the ticket..."
"I really don't believe you have this ability!" Lee Myung-jiu shook his head repeatedly. "It's not that I don't believe in your strength, but that there is really no one in this broken place in South Korea that can cover the sky with one hand. Even the president and President Lee Kun-hee can't make President Lee Jae-hyun admit defeat? He has been arrested now, but he still grits his teeth and refuses to give in. He fights the lawsuits together..."
"Don't pretend that you are very strong." Kim Jong-ming was amused by the other party. "I didn't say what I wanted to do to you."
"Representative Jin, think about it, if those real power figures really have scandals and want to cover up in a hurry, who can stop them?" Li Mingjiu didn't listen to the other party's words at all, but continued to persuade Kim Jong-ming to show his hands with great sincerity. "Even if you are full of hands and eyes and stop them once, you can't stop them for the second time... After three or five times, you will offend a large number of real big men..."
"I understand all you said." Jin Zhongming sneered. "I didn't say that I had the ability to stop those people, but I can still tell you that I will make your business unable to open within half a year! This is not for you alone, I just want you to look down on you extra! And I can also tell you that although it is difficult to open within half a year, your business may improve in half a year, and you may even gradually enter a period of business boom... And at that time, I will not take the blame for the world and then put any restrictions on it."
Li Mingjiu showed surprise on his face. He was really confused. Then, the sensitive and smart man couldn't help but test: "What's going on? Deputy Kim, why did it take half a year, what..."
"Okay." Jin Zhongming reached out to stop the other party. "The levels are different, and you don't understand it. Just remember what I said today. I will allow you to watch it for half a year. But if as I said at that time, your entire industry is in a state of silence, then you have to be honest with me in the future..."
"I really don't understand." Li Mingjiu relaxed when he said this. "But if the matter is really as the representative of Jin said, and you are confident and confused, it means that the gap between us is really too big, and it will be embarrassing to do things honestly as you told me."
"Have you said this thoroughly?" Jin Zhongming asked indifferently.
"It's true that it's 'explained'." Li Mingjiu stood up and said goodbye. "It's a matter of just a matter of half a year. I'll wait for it. Let's go back today... Miss Xu Xian will see you again, delaying the chat between you two, you can sit back."
Xu Xian nodded quickly, but did not get up and bow as he did at the beginning. When the other party left, Chunnei did not pick up the coffee and returned to the opposite side, but turned his head and asked:
“oppa, why?”
"Why?" Jin Zhongming asked calmly with his cheeks in his arms.
"Why can Oppa be so confident that it can prevent those people from using artists to cover up scandals within half a year?" Xu Xian asked seriously. "Although he hates President Li, what he said is still correct. This kind of thing is too common and it is hard to guard against. Moreover, if a person can use well-known artists to cover up scandals, it will at least mean that that person can ignore the artist himself and the agency behind the artist. Such a person is not something you can despise Oppa..."
"You are the same as that Li Mingjiu..."
"I know the level is not enough, but why?" Xu Xian chased him. "Oppa, just pretend to be mysterious to him, why don't you say this to me? I can't understand even if I say it to Slug, a student from Dongguo University, even if I say it in my head?"
"Why is it the slug again?" Kim Jong-ming was helpless. "Actually, I didn't say that I wanted soldiers to block the water and soil, so you can't change your thinking? If there would be no major political and business scandal in the past six months? What if I still have helpers to maintain order in the entertainment industry in the past six months? If in the past six months, the powerful people in South Korea don't want to make things go wrong in the Korean entertainment industry?"
The maniac became even more confused.
"This thing needs to be analyzed from the economic and current situation at the same time." Kim Jong-ming explained helplessly. "But the economy is the main cause and everything, and the current situation is mostly dependent on the economic situation... This thing is very boring."
"Let me tell me." Xu Xian was happy without getting tired. "There should be something about oppa looking for me. Let's talk about this first and that..."
Kim Jong-ming looked at the other party and felt powerless. He was really begging the other party for something, but it was hard to refuse at this time: "Let me say that, first of all, the current situation should be very stable within half a year, which makes political scandals and economic crime scandals rarely appear..."
"Is the new president coming to power?" Seo Hyun suddenly woke up. "Right?"
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "The new president and the former president are the same. Both sides have tacit understanding, so there will be no scene of large-scale liquidation of the previous powerful people. Moreover, if the new government comes to power, at least there will be no big handle in the first year. Even if there is a handle, the opposition party will not be stupid enough to throw it out when the other party has a deep foundation. Finally, the existing cases, whether Lee Jae-hyun or the government has recently targeted the SK President Choi Tae-won, are actually all cases that have been decided by the overall situation. Neither of both companies will be stupid enough to think that they still have hope, and then disrupt their vision... The so-called disruption of vision must be because they feel that they still have a chance to turn things around. Lee Jae-hyun has no chance. Choi Tae-won is going to prison and doesn't care at all."
Xu Xian nodded even more.
"There are also the chaebols... on the other hand, there is too much trouble there." Kim Jong-ming continued to explain. "First of all, Lee Kun-hee and Lee Jae-hyun, the uncle and nephew, did not break up for a day, and other things from other families will not attract everyone's attention at all. However, the uncle and nephew have been struggling for so long, and all the tricks have been used. Everyone has been tired of it. And on one side, they have already used all the cards and have no strength to fight back. On the other side, they are sure to win but there is no need to do it too much to embarrass people... Now, it's just Lee Jae-hyun who is just spending time showing his backbone alone."
"So, do Oppa actually think President Lee Jae-hyun can last for half a year?"
"It's almost the same!" Jin Zhongming was silent for a moment before answering. "That man was also forced into a corner. He thought he would have the willpower. His father's body should last for at least half a year..."
"So that's it...but what about the economy?" Xu Xian really looked like a curious baby. "What's going on with the economy?"
"Economics are not what happened." Kim Jong-ming replied with emotion. "Economics is everything!"
"What's the meaning?"
"This topic is too complicated and I can't explain it clearly for a while. But in general, if the economic situation is good, the fault tolerance rate of the current situation will be large enough, and all problems will not be a problem; and if the economic situation is bad, the fault tolerance rate of the current situation will naturally be small, and all problems can become big problems!"
"I understand." Xu Xian suddenly realized. "The economic situation is good, and everyone is busy making money, so no one cares about any scandals. However, the economic situation is poor and there are many social problems, and scandals are easy to come out... It's almost the same, I understand. So, Oppa thinks that the economic situation in South Korea will be very good in the second half of this year?"
To be continued...
