The Rise of Korean Entertainment

"Secretary? How come I didn't know you had a secretary?" Kim Taeyeon asked back with curiosity.

She wasn't pretending to be confused, she really thought that there was an extra position around Li Menglong.

It's understandable if you think about it, Li Menglong has multiple positions and he really needs help from others.

It stands to reason that he should be introduced to them, after all, if you have to say that the most important job in Li Menglong's hands is undoubtedly their agent.

Kim Taeyeon's question actually confused Li Menglong.

He was just being clever, Kim Taeyeon should have understood it immediately, why did he look so confused?

Or the girls on the side took the initiative to break the misunderstanding, not because they were kind, but because they couldn't bear to see their captain being stupid.

Kim Taeyeon represents their face to a certain extent. The captain is so stupid, how smart can the team members be?

And when Kim Taeyeon realized that the so-called secretary was Xu Xian, she was on the verge of exploding.

She was indeed a little confused. After all, the previous topic was closely related to her. Although she was not scared, it did have a certain impact.

But this was not a reason for Li Menglong to fool her at will, not to mention making up a secretary's identity to fool her.

Just asking her to find Xu Xian to make an appointment for the so-called time was not to make her Kim Taeyeon feel good.

When she thought of the scene of herself standing in front of Xu Xian, Xu Xian would probably be quite surprised, right? Or was she trying hard to hold back her smile?

In short, that scene was unimaginable to Kim Taeyeon, and she would never do that!

So there was nothing to say. Li Menglong had better give her an accurate answer now.

If he insisted on going his own way, Kim Taeyeon would have to fight back with necessary means.

Don't think that Li Menglong is the only agent in the circle, and there are many people who want to work here!

Although many people may not be as good as Li Menglong, but judging from Kim Taeyeon's current popularity, the requirements for agents are not that high.

As for the connections, Kim Taeyeon has already managed most of them herself; as for the business, as a mature artist who has debuted for many years, she does not need the help of an agent.

It can be said that her biggest requirement for the agent is trust, that is, to let her have no scruples in front of the other party.

You can't think twice before speaking in front of the agent, fearing that the other party will secretly record and use it to blackmail her?

Similar things have happened before, and many artists have fallen into the hands of their agents and assistants.

In this regard, Li Menglong is much more reassuring.

Kim Taeyeon is not only being herself, but also letting herself go.

If another agent comes, can Kim Taeyeon directly block the other party in the room and threaten him because of work?

So it is impossible to break up. Even if Li Menglong is willing, Kim Taeyeon will not let him go.

Now it is just a simple threat. Li Menglong had better have some basic emotional intelligence and don't agree to it excitedly.

That would only make both parties embarrassed. The correct choice should be to refuse and ensure that you have no second thoughts and want to provide better service to Kim Taeyeon wholeheartedly.

If you say so, then the result is naturally a happy ending.

But how could Li Menglong be so considerate and obey their wishes blindly? Is he still himself?

Li Menglong chose to respond positively: "Do you think it's easy to be your manager? If you really think so, then try it yourself!"

It has to be said that Li Menglong has been affected to some extent after getting along with the girls for a long time, and his emotional intelligence has really increased a lot.

According to his original personality, he would probably fight back according to Kim Taeyeon's intention, but now he knows to be roundabout.

Originally, the girls around him were going to persuade them, at least not to let the two people really get into a fight.

But now it seems that there is no need for them to go out, and Li Menglong's proposal is relatively mild.

Now it depends on Kim Taeyeon's choice. Will she choose to take a step back or face the challenge?

The girls seemed to have given different choices, but when it really fell on Kim Taeyeon, there was only one way in front of her.

As their captain, how could Kim Taeyeon choose to retreat?

Now she can take a step back, but what if Li Menglong pushes it further? How far should she retreat?

"Huh, our agent? He can do it even if he ties a dog!" Kim Taeyeon responded tit for tat: "Do you think you are working hard? In fact, that is our own influence. Don't mistake the platform for ability!"

Although Kim Taeyeon's words were too harsh and even distorted the truth to a certain extent, they did make sense.

At least half of the work that Li Menglong gave them was proactively approached. This can't be counted as his credit, right?

Although he also put in a lot of work in the later stage, such as screening, negotiating costs, confirming the script, etc.

But the most core factor is undoubtedly the girls themselves, or it is them who really work, and Li Menglong is just drumming on the side.

But Li Menglong would not admit this. The value of his work is reflected in places that these women cannot perceive!

Since they can't reach an agreement, let's proceed according to the previous proposal. Li Menglong will give up his job as an agent for a few days to see how Kim Taeyeon can handle it.

After reaching an agreement, it seems that there is no need to continue the confrontation.

Li Menglong felt that saying one more word would be "helping the enemy", while Jin Taeyeon wanted to go back and unify his thoughts.

Although she said it lightly before, she generally recognized Li Menglong's work achievements.

If it is said that the agent is useless, they, as artists, may be the first to express opposition.

After all, among the staff around them, the money given to the agent is the most, it is impossible that it is useless at all, right?

If this is true, are all artists fools?

However, it is meaningless to say these now. Jin Taeyeon wants to use her actual actions to make Li Menglong feel ashamed.

It is not that the agent is useless, but that she, Jin Taeyeon, can perfectly handle this job. Li Menglong had better not brag about himself in front of her in the future.

In order to achieve this, Jin Taeyeon urgently needs the help of these women.

In her understanding, if the work of the agent is simply divided, it can be roughly divided into two parts: internal and external.

In the cognition of ordinary fans, the work of the agent is mostly external, that is, contacting commercial performances, contacting work and the like.

But as an artist herself, Kim Taeyeon can responsibly say that the internal part is more important, but it can be equal to the external part.

How to get along with artists, communicate with artists, and manage artists are all parts that are prone to problems.

If it is a newcomer, it is okay. First, they are still young, and second, they are not famous. The agent can handle the problem relatively simply.

However, once the artist's fame becomes bigger, the agent has to consider more.

Especially the newly appointed agent, who has no experience of growing up together through hardships, will most likely suffer some grievances.

Does Kim Taeyeon need to consider these?

As a manager who is about to take office, her speech was so domineering: "Listen to me, you'd better be honest in the next few days. My fists are hungry and thirsty!"

The agent has not yet taken office, and he has directly started to threaten the artist.

It must be said that Kim Taeyeon's appearance is quite "successful", at least the girls are impressed.

If they were new, they would have to admit that they were unlucky if they met such an agent.

But now that they have achieved success, they still have to suffer the same grievances.

Although they are unwilling in their hearts, at least there is no emotion on their faces.

They even have to take the initiative to cooperate, saying that they support Kim Taeyeon's appointment very much and believe that she will lead everyone to another peak.

For this obvious flattery, Kim Taeyeon not only did not refuse, but also agreed to it so carelessly.

Is she sure she can do this?

With the current size of the girls, it is almost impossible to take another step forward.

Because they have already achieved the extreme in the market that can be occupied.

So unless they expand the market, they have no room for improvement.

And to achieve this, it is not something that the girls can achieve alone. This requires the cooperation of the entire industry, and even the embodiment of the national will.

In short, Kim Taeyeon is just bragging at this moment, and the girls are sure of this.

But they can't expose Kim Taeyeon's lies, otherwise they have to fight with Kim Taeyeon now?

Actually, it's not impossible. After all, they have more people, and no matter how strong Kim Taeyeon is, she can't fight four hands with two fists.

It's just that Kim Taeyeon will take office soon. If they offend her, she might retaliate.

Many methods may not be easy to use even for Li Menglong, but Kim Taeyeon has no such scruples.

In this case, the girls can only choose to swallow their anger, and they even want to have a good talk with Li Menglong.

Don't let private conflicts affect your work status, which is unprofessional!

Especially this work is closely related to them, are you sure Kim Taeyeon is really okay?

The girls are really a little worried, especially seeing Kim Taeyeon's crazy state before taking office.

Once she maintains the same state at work, they will all suffer in the end.

After all, when the work is taken over, they all need to work in the end.

To be honest, they are not afraid that Kim Taeyeon will be lazy or seek benefits for herself.

If possible, they would rather Kim Taeyeon be a little selfish and take all the work on her own head.

This is also something that normal people should worry about. Although they usually call each other sisters, can they still care about these teammates in the face of their own interests?

But based on their understanding of Kim Taeyeon, she really can't do such a thing.

Even if they accept activities, most of them are in the name of their group, which is exactly what the girls want to refuse.

So after a simple discussion, they also put forward their demands to Kim Taeyeon.

Their requirements are very simple, mainly because they are afraid that Kim Taeyeon will be overloaded if they are too complicated, and then directly refuse.

"That is to say, you should accept individual activities as much as possible. Am I right?" Kim Taeyeon concluded.

She didn't really understand the girls' requirements, but she still expressed respect.

It was also a good opportunity for Li Menglong to see her ability and not always think that it is difficult to find work for them.

Seeing that Kim Taeyeon seemed to be full of energy, the girls couldn't let go of their worries. Maybe more than one person would suffer from insomnia tonight.

The reason they said this was mainly to gamble on their luck!

Or to spread the work Kim Taeyeon took on to everyone as much as possible, maybe some lucky people could be lazy all the time.

And correspondingly, some unlucky people would have more work, which would test everyone's luck!

From personal experience, the girls don't really believe in luck.

To be precise, they think that hard work is closely related to luck. Instead of pinning their hopes on illusory luck, it is better to influence it through hard work.

So while there is still some time before going to bed, they began to sort out their recent work arrangements.

It's been a long time since they have been so concerned about their work. The last time was probably when they just became popular?

In recent years, they have been very Buddhist. As long as Li Menglong doesn't come to notify them, they won't be anxious at all even if they take a month off.

This confidence comes from their awareness of their popularity, and of course, the balance in their accounts.

But today, they can't do it. They really want to make themselves "busy". At least in Kim Taeyeon's eyes, they have no free time.

The first person to come to Kim Taeyeon was Yoona. As the person with the most personal schedules in the team, she does have reason to be anxious.

After all, it is not too easy to get her some activities. Whether it is endorsements or variety shows, or even hosting activities, Yoona is no problem.

Yoona is really too versatile. This was a label she was quite proud of in the past, but now she wants to tear it off.

She is really afraid that Kim Taeyeon will take a lot of activities for her. Let alone other considerations, just talking about the degree of fatigue, Lin Yoona can't stand it.

So holding the daily schedule that she had just sorted out, Yoona worked hard to explain to Kim Taeyeon.

According to Yoona herself, she will have almost no time to rest in the next few days, and even sleep must be planned in advance.

Although Kim Taeyeon has never been an agent, she is not unfamiliar with this industry at all.

There is obviously something wrong with Yoona's performance. Kim Taeyeon pointed at one of the items and asked, "What is this shooting about? How can it take a whole day? How much money did the other party pay for you to cooperate so well?"

Faced with Kim Taeyeon's questioning, Yoona blinked innocently, "Isn't this what you taught me? I have to be serious and cooperative when facing work, and I must do my best. Good reputation and fame are the foundation of an artist's success. Have you forgotten all that?"
