Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Chapter 3 SM and System Rewards Kakao

The next morning, Kim Min-soo and Kim So-min arrived at Samseong-dong, Gangnam District in a luxury car with a team of bodyguards.

SM's famous headquarters building is located here. This iconic building was bought by Lee Soo Man as early as 1999.

Since then, SM Entertainment has taken root here.

Although SM now has several branches in Gangnam District, this headquarters building has always been with SM through all the ups and downs.

Kim Min-soo originally wanted to invite Lee Soo-man to visit him, but because Kim So-min insisted on experiencing the atmosphere of SM company, he changed the plan to have the two of them come to SM company.

Kim So Min was wearing a pretty little dress, with her long, smooth black hair combed into a low ponytail that fell gracefully in front of her.

Her cold white skin is almost transparent in the sun, her big eyes match her delicate little face, and there is a little cute baby fat on her cheeks. She is well-behaved and pretty like a fragile porcelain doll.

Kim Min-soo carried her out of the car, but still asked, "You really don't want to carry me?"

"No!" Jin Zhaomin put his father's face close to hers in a baby voice, "Dad, I'm grown up now and can walk by myself."

Jin Minzhu couldn't help but feel a little regretful, so he had to put her down gently: "Okay then."

Kim So-min is small and walks slowly, following his father leisurely.

Behind the two men was an elite security team, and their group attracted the curious gazes of countless people within SM company.

Soon, a scout noticed the little girl surrounded by the team. Her appearance could make all child star agents fall in love with her, including them.

However, the tall and strong bodyguards protected her and Kim Min-soo like a human wall.

No scout dared to approach her.

At this moment, a male voice that was very familiar to the SM staff suddenly sounded: "Mr. President, I have heard a lot about you. I didn't expect you to come in person."

Before the scouts could complain that the sudden voice had stolen their limelight, they were surprised to find that it was their boss who said this.

Li Xiuman, dressed in formal attire, appeared in front of the bodyguards with a smile.

Lee Soo-man is 52 years old, 12 years older than Kim Min-soo, but she has taken good care of herself and looks much younger than her actual age.

His face looked kind, and when his eyes fell on the short Kim So-min through the lenses, his eyes, narrowed into slits due to smiling, almost glowed.

——Li Xiuman himself is a firm believer in appearance. Before he founded HOT, he had distributed questionnaires to investigate the preferences of female students.

Having met so many people, he naturally understood how special this girl was.

Kim So-min has the unique luxury that comes from an elite education. Perhaps it is this unique temperament that makes Kim So-min stand out from the crowd and impossible to ignore even though she is still a little girl.

There are many good-looking children in this world, but there are very few like Kim So Min, who can make people stunned by her beauty at just one glance and are unforgettable.

However, Li Xiuman was a man who had experienced many ups and downs after all. He suppressed his inner excitement and resisted the urge to ask the girl if she wanted to be an idol.

Li Xiuman personally guided the father and daughter and took the elevator to his office.

He remained serious and calm throughout the whole process.

As the elevator slowly rose, Lee Soo-man and Kim Min-soo communicated politely, while Kim So-min looked around curiously at this completely unfamiliar environment.

At the same time, she also noticed the promotional posters of SM company artists pasted in the elevator, and the sound of music constantly drifting from the corner.

It was a song sung by a girl, and the lyrics were: "You are still my NO.1."

--

Kim So-min's system skills are divided into eight levels.

The eight levels are:

1. Practitioners who are trying it for the first time;

2. Newcomers to the field;

3. A skilled person who is at ease;

4. Those who have achieved some success;

5. Experts with comprehensive skills;

6. Great achievers;

7. Unrivaled Master;

8. The one who has reached the state of perfection.

Kim So Min's music has reached the third level of proficiency. She can sing any popular song just by hearing it.

She hummed a few lines quietly along with the pleasant music.

Her voice had not yet reached the puberty stage, and it was clean and tender. Her sophisticated singing skills, which did not match her age, had already surprised Li Xiuman.

At this moment, the elevator reached the top floor. Kim Min-soo gently stroked his daughter's head and introduced her to Lee Soo-man, "Excuse me, this is my daughter, Kim So-min."

"No, no, Miss Jin's voice and skills are really special." Li Xiuman responded politely, "I admire this child very much."

Jin Zhaomin bowed slightly and greeted: "Hello, I am Jin Zhaomin."

Because of her height, she could only tilt her head back and look up at Li Xiuman, her smile looking sweet and charming.

Li Xiuman: "Oh my god, President Jin is really enviable for having such a daughter."

The two adults started to flatter each other again, saying something that Kim So Min couldn't understand.

Kim So-min found the business topics the adults were talking about boring, so she sat dignifiedly on the sofa and patiently watched the two adults compliment each other.

Finally, they reached a consensus.

Kim So Min will hold a 40% stake in SM Company, and the company's business strategy will still be decided entirely by Lee Soo Man. At special moments, Kim So Min can discuss with him.

Kim Min-soo: "Director-nim, I will list the company's shares under So-min's name, but I hope you understand what 'four stars' means."

He pointed out the current predicament that Lee Soo-man was facing without any hesitation, "I can invest in the company in So-min's name, and at the same time help you get out of the predicament."

He changed the subject and got straight to the point: "But I hope you don't make the same mistake again."

Li Xiuman is very satisfied with the agreement as he can obtain valuable decision-making power.

He smiled at Kim Min-soo and replied straightforwardly.

"With Four Stars as my backing, I believe I can create more wealth and certainly won't disappoint Mr. Jin."

"So Director Li, can your company accept a new artist?"

Kim Min-soo calmly offered suggestions that seemed sincere but actually contained a hidden agenda.

This is so hypocritical.

Li Xiuman certainly did not show his dissatisfaction, he still smiled and said: "Of course I don't mind."

The next second, what Kim Min-soo said made Li Xiuman feel relieved.

"Somin, come and say hello to your Uncle Li."

Kim Min-soo used Kim So-min's name to convey his goodwill to Lee Soo-man.

"Our Somin also wants to debut as an artist."

Jin Zhaomin reacted and shouted actively: "Uncle Li, please take care of me in the future."

Li Xiuman understood what he meant instantly, and was overjoyed for a moment: "We are family, how can we be so polite?"

With the support of the big ship of Four Stars, Li Xiuman is lucky enough to still maintain absolute decision-making power.

What made Li Xiuman most happy was that the head of the four-star chaebol gave him a clear message - information that could save him from imprisonment.

Li Xiuman felt that the old saying about flower planting, "blessings and disasters are interdependent," was indeed a true saying.

This time the small shareholder and he himself made no loss from selling the stocks.

He said with a smile, "Somin will become a star more popular than BoA in the future!"

It only takes a moment for two unrelated people to become more familiar with each other than family members.

What binds them tightly is the bond of pure interest, and their sincere feelings sparkle under the sunlight shining directly in from the window.

----

SM acted quickly, and after signing the contract, Kim Min-soo immediately returned to the company to handle the follow-up matters of the acquisition.

According to the laws of the peninsula, anyone who purchases more than 5% of the shares will be announced to the public, and he has to find a way to separate the names of Sixing and Kim So-min.

Kim So Min stayed in SM company, and in the following time, Lee Soo Man took the initiative to act as a guide and personally took Kim So Min to visit the entire building.

Whether in terms of identity or importance, it can be seen how much he values ​​Kim So Min and gives her full respect.

During this period, Kim So Min saw many practice rooms during her visit.

The background wall in each room was a rustic blue sky and white clouds, which made her feel a little funny.

SM company is now training a large number of young and energetic trainees, who study various courses under the guidance of teachers every day.

For example, they can study courses such as dance, vocal music, modeling, acting, and various language education, but their education method is one-to-many education.

Given Kim So Min's identity, she certainly would not receive the same education as ordinary trainees.

She will be taught by the best teachers and receive one-on-one elite teaching.

Li Xiuman immediately took her to the office of SM’s core figure and asked them to take good care of Kim So Min.

In just a short afternoon, Kim So-min got to know several SM core music producers, led by Kenzie and Yu Young-jin.

During this trip, she also found a master of singing and songwriting, Yu Yongzhen, as her exclusive mentor.

Finally, when she successfully became the apprentice, the system's task finally showed as completed.

Not only that, the system also automatically awarded Kim So-min the reward she deserved, which was a company called KAKAO.

According to the detailed instructions of the system, because it is a reward, the president of this company is not a human, but an AI elite generated by the system's artificial intelligence to handle daily affairs.

This AI representative usually manages the company's affairs independently, but will follow Kim So-min's advice if there are special circumstances.

KAKAO is divided into several subsidiaries, one is a chat software called [Kakao Talk], and the other is called [melon].

Kim So-min didn't quite understand these names and decided to ask her father to solve the problem in the evening.
