Jo Sung-hyeon and Chae-yoon headed to the restaurant.
This is a restaurant in the hotel that I ate at once.
Chae-yoon looked excited about the hotel.
The food at that time was quite delicious, so Jo Sung-hyun also had a good memory.
“Have you made a reservation?”
“Sera… It will be named.”
As Jo Sung-hyun spoke, the employee bowed his head slightly and opened his mouth.
“I am waiting for you in the party. I will guide you.”
“thank you.”
Jo Seong-hyeon took Chae-yoon’s hand and followed the staff.
We were ushered to the room.
The staff knocked and opened the door, and Jo Sung-hyun opened the door and checked the inside of the room.
The young woman slowly turned her head to check this side.
She smiled and stood up.
“hello. Jo Seong-hyeon and Cho Chae-yun. My name is Sarah.”
“This is Seong-Hyun Jo. Nice to meet you.”
Jo Sung-hyun received her greeting in a lighthearted way.
The opponent seemed to be overjoyed, but there was no need to get involved in it.
Chae-yoon bowed her head as if in a bit of embarrassment and greeted her.
“This is Jo Chae-yoon… !”
“Oh? Nice to meet you. Little princess.”
Sera smiled and bowed her head slightly to Chaeyoon.
Chae-yoon smiles awkwardly and takes a half step towards Jo Sung-hyun.
“First, sit down. You must be hungry.”
“thank you.”
Jo Sung-hyun gave a brief answer, and after having Chae-yoon sit down first, he sat down next to him.
Sarah waited for him to sit down, then glanced at the staff.
The staff, who understands what she wants, quickly places the menu in front of Jo Sung-hyun.
“Eat what you want.”
“Have you already placed an order?”
The last time I came, I heard that they charge a price for each room and serve course dishes anyway.
got it wrong
When Jo Sung-hyun asked that question, Sera opened her eyes slightly wide.
“If there is something you want to eat separately, it comes out mainly. If there is a food you cannot eat, you can tell us in advance.”
“There is no food that I can’t eat, and there is nothing I particularly like… I think you can eat it as you prepare it.”
“It’s good.”
Nodding her head, Sarah says.
At her words, the staff came up again and took the menu board and left.
After the staff left, Sarah opened her mouth.
“You must have been to the Shinryeo Hotel.”
“Yes, I came with my child.”
“Actually, I was a little surprised at first. You asked if you could come with your child to the meeting.”
“I’m used to traveling with children.”
“If you are such a cute princess, you are always welcome.”
Sarah said, and at her words, Chaeyoon showed a pleasant smile.
Cho Seong-hyeon knew immediately that the other party was good at negotiating.
Basically speaking well, there… I’m not the kind of person who just recklessly brings out what he’s thinking.
It seemed like a difficult opponent to deal with with a light heart.
‘It’s good if it’s on our side, but bad if it’s on the other side… I’ll have to say.’
Jo Seong-hyeon thought to herself, and Sera relaxed the atmosphere by bringing up simple stories.
It wasn’t really a great story, it was just an explanation of the situation.
For Jo Sung-hyun, that was the most important thing.
“It was surprising. Because I didn’t think that CEO Jang Pan-seok would recommend Jo Sung-hyun by just mentioning the name.”
“okay.”
“Thanks to you, we were able to contact you right away without wasting time. It was fortunate.”
Jo Sung-hyun listened to what Sarah was saying, and could confirm the situation.
As Park Joong-won said, the negotiations between Paradise and Pan Entertainment have not yet been finalized.
However, to some extent it seemed to have been framed.
Judging from what you’re saying, it seems like that will be one of the main points for now… I don’t know exactly.
Because Sera was only talking side-by-side and hasn’t brought up the main point yet.
I didn’t know for sure if that was her usual conversation style, or if it was because of Jo Sung-hyun’s consideration.
In any case, Jo Sung-hyun was able to maintain his position without much burden.
Until the pre-dinner bread came out and the salad with fish, Sera only talked about the side dishes.
Salad comes out.
After finishing the conversation, he turned his head to look at the briefcase he had brought.
She took something out of her briefcase and held it to Jo Sung-hyun.
“Having an appetizer… I hope you enjoy the appetizers I brought.”
Sera maintained her politeness and held out her briefcase.
Jo Sung-hyun blinked his eyes.
What if it was just a small envelope? Is it money? I must have thought, but I have no idea what it is when I hold out a briefcase.
“Appetizer… Say it.”
“Yes. We have prepared something you will like.”
Sarah said with a deep smile on her lips.
Jo Sung-hyeon ate the salad, opened the file that Sera handed out, and checked what was inside.
not so thick
At least three paper files.
Take out the file and check it.
As soon as you see a file with photos and texts mixed together.
Jo Sung-hyun’s face hardened.
“This… .”
“It’s polite to bring the enemy’s head when you come.”
Sera said, and Jo Seong-hyeon smirked a little and checked the documents Sera gave her once again.
At that place… Along with Choi Hyun-jun’s photo, several articles were placed.
[Management Yuwol, after ‘Cat Lost Tooth’, this time, CEO Choi Hyun-joon is accused of fraud.]
[CEO Choi Hyeon-jun, who made trainees write fraudulent contracts by threatening them.]
[Is the entertainment industry such a scary place? A scammer who made the trainees tremble.]
Provocative article titles.
And, detailed fraudulent acts and evidence of intimidation.
“This… .”
“This is an article about Hyun-Jun Choi, the representative of management Yu-Wol. Evidence has been secured enough and it has been distributed to various media outlets. No matter how much Choi Hyun-jun struggles, he will not be able to escape.”
“… … .”
“How is it? The appetizer I prepared.”
Sarah said.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled slightly and shook his head.
This has to be acknowledged.
Even if you know that this is a fishing hook, you have no choice but to fish.
He completely destroyed Choi Hyun-jun and brought it back?
It was something that Seong-hyeon Cho could never have imagined.
Looking at the time written in the file, the article was posted 30 minutes ago.
After posting an article, I just organized it and made it into a file.
His agility and the ability to read situations and use them.
It was considerable.
“Literally, you came with the head of the enemy chief.”
“It is the method listed in #1 on the wisdom of acquiring talented people. How is it. Was it the right way?”
Sarah smiles and says.
It was a playful voice.
Jo Sung-hyun laughed lightly at her joke.
He was definitely a talented person.
So much so that I can’t help but get over it.
Is this the right way?
“Yes, I like it.”
Honestly, I like it very much.
Even Jo Sung-hyun himself was surprised.
I never imagined that such a negotiation would be possible, but it was a method that I liked quite a bit.
Even though I didn’t like it this way.
At the same time, he raised his vigilance.
He simply beat up the person he had been working with until now and even took that person’s head.
Because there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t suffer the same thing.
After that, the minnow soup was served, and the main dish was the Korean beef tenderloin steak.
Cho Sung-hyeon first cut the steak so that Chae-yoon could eat it.
Rather than trying to understand the circumstances and the story of Jo Seong-hyeon and Sera, Chae-yoon chose to just enjoy the food.
While the child happily ate the food, Jo Sung-hyun continued talking with Sarah.
“Now, let’s get to the point… I’m trying to do a project. Originally, I worked with management Yuwol for that purpose… it has failed Instead, I thought in a variety of ways, talked enough with Pan Entertainment and listened to advice.”
“yes.”
Seong-hyeon Cho answered bluntly.
First of all, rather than expressing your own opinion, it is better to listen.
That way you can judge.
“Originally, I planned to make an idol group in Korea and promote it in China, but it took a long time… I don’t think the results will be that great.”
“… Yes.”
“So, I’m trying to make an idol group with an event nature. I will only be active for one year.”
“… An event idol group?”
This is a little surprising.
There are idol groups created through broadcasting.
I created a female and male idol group in a similar format, and the result was quite successful.
The problem is after the group disbanded, but most of them benefited from the eventful group.
There may be a difference in how much you gain.
“How to organize the group as a whole is still undecided. Therefore, we can more accurately reflect the opinions of the producers.”
“… If we do it together.”
“Yes, of course, after we got to be together.”
Sarah nodded her head in response.
To be honest, it was an attractive offer.
However, at the same time, there was a considerable sense of risk and burden that Jo Sung-hyun had to carry.
Literally, not the executive producer.
Produce an idol group?
Cho Sung-hyun didn’t have that ability.
Accepting an offer without the ability is an idiot.
“It’s an attractive story, but I don’t think it’s something I can handle. sorry.”
“What part do you have?”
“I do not know. I’m not that great, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to produce an idol group. My career as a producer is also short.”
“Of course, I am well aware of my short career as a producer. However, I am also well aware that during that short career, I gained trust from various artists and the CEO of Pan Entertainment. So much so that the representative personally recommended it.”
“… … .”
Jo Sung-hyun pondered for a moment about what to say and how to explain what Sarah said.
And he realized the moment he met Sarah’s eyes.
No need to explain.
Serah wasn’t making this suggestion because Seong-hyeon Jo was a very talented person.
She didn’t mean much to Jo Seong-hyeon.
Jo Sung-hyun could tell by looking into her eyes.
“The CEO personally recommended me… That’s it. You contacted me.”
“Yes. I thought you were capable.”
Sarah speaks without hesitation.
However, Jo Sung-hyeon and Sarah both knew that the meaning contained in the words was different.
Let’s take talented people and make a good idol group! It wasn’t the situation.
‘A kind of… You’re trying to create an advance squad.’
I’m trying to make an idol that can be a moderate issue with an amount that is not burdensome enough.
In the meantime, it would be nice to make friends with a competent local entertainment company and deepen the relationship.
Cho Seong-hyeon was a person who belonged to ‘Enhancing the relationship with a competent local agency’.
Producer recommended by the CEO himself.
He must have moderate abilities, and it is ambiguous not to use it after receiving such a recommendation.
Conversely, if you work with a producer who has been recommended, you will get the impression that the person who recommended you cares about what you say.
Sarah thought about many things and made a proposal.
A proposal that would be very beneficial to Paradise in many ways.
And that was a very attractive proposal for Cho Sung-hyun.
The risk I thought was, ‘If you fail, you take responsibility.’ Especially if it turns out that the part, ‘Actually, it doesn’t matter much if it goes bankrupt.’
“… I’d love to hear a little more.”
Seong-Hyeon Cho said.
The smile on Sarah’s lips grew even stronger.
