Chapter 21 There is a very handsome Oppa in the company.
Star Museum, Apgujeong, Gangnam District, Seoul.
The company, which was just registered this year, is still using the former address of S/M Project. The company has all the necessary equipment, and even the few trainees who are sweating and looking determined inside have excited them.
It's just that no matter how passionate they are, this may be a decision that affects their child's life. Han Lanji and Li Zhen have never worked in related jobs, and they rarely have to sign formal contracts. After much deliberation, the two decided to seek help from Park Bo-sun, who had worked in a large company for many years.
Three adults were looking through performing arts contracts at the table, while two children were sitting at the back. Compared to the nervousness and importance that Kwon Ji-yong showed, Ye-eun, who was looking around, looked like she was just here to play.
"Here, the entertainers need to bear the company's training expenses. During the contract period, all notices received by the entertainers must go through the company, and the profit-sharing ratio is 8:2." Park Bo-sun frowned, and then saw the next sentence, "All income will be settled regularly after the entertainers debut."
There are too many unclear words in it, such as how much the training cost is, what the share ratio will be after debut, and how often the regular settlement will be made.
This contract is full of unreasonable and deliberately vague words like this.
Of course, there is no need for the company's top management to personally handle such a small matter as negotiating the contract. After all, the trainees who came these days are still uncertain about whether they have a future.
"All trainees have the same contract." S/M's HR and legal staff kept smiling. Even though they knew their company's contract was unreasonable, as workers they could only lie with their eyes open and go against their conscience. "Director Li values these two kids very much, and we have shown our full sincerity."
Park Bo-sun has seen a lot of people saying one thing to one person and another thing to another person in the workplace. Even if the S/M staff tried their best to persuade them, she remained unmoved and said that the contract could not be signed.
The resolute attitude of the three made the legal affairs officer sigh inwardly. Director Li Xiuman was indeed very foresighted. He knew that some people were not easy to deceive, so in addition to the contract, he also prepared a "fake contract" as a way to attract talent.
That is to say, trainees do not need to bear so many expenses, but only need to pay the training fees in the company, and they can still share the profits from the notices received through the company according to the proportion.
It’s just that the frequency of training will be reduced to once a month or even once every three months. By extending the time, the trainees can build a sense of belonging to the company. This way, the company not only earns the training fees but also prevents these good talents from flowing into other companies too quickly.
Even their training can be done together with official trainees. HR smiled and gave a fatal blow. You can enjoy the same teaching staff and training environment with less money, so why not do it?
As soon as the legal department made this suggestion, Han Lanji was a little tempted. After all, Zhilong really liked these things, and it wouldn't matter if she could spend some money to allow him to receive formal training.
However, Li Zhen is different. After all, Ye Eun doesn't seem to show any interest in singing and dancing.
She turned to look at Yien, and she didn't expect that her daughter, who was bored just now, was nodding at her like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Mom, I want to come!" Ye-eun raised her hand, showing her yearning for the art industry, "Zhi-long and I will come together!"
This time, even Park Bo-sun didn't find any major loopholes, and the new version of the plan was quickly passed. The legal department once again felt guilty for their increasingly small conscience. As expected, what attracted them the most was the opportunity to train with the official trainees. However, having said that, the company just wanted to save the energy and money of training these "fake contract" trainees and at the same time give the trainees a few more sparring partners.
But Kwon Ji-yong's joy in becoming a trainee was mixed with a bit of shame. A complicated look flashed across his face. Yien must be thinking that since they couldn't go to elementary school together, it would be good to train together!
He leaned over to Yien, raised his hand and gently hugged her, his tone full of emotion and a little guilt, "Yien, I'm sorry, I felt a little embarrassed about you that day..."
Before he could even utter the word "face", he was interrupted. Ye-eun immediately hugged Quan Zhilong back and whispered excitedly in his ear: "Zhilong, did you see that just now? A very handsome Oppa walked over!"
"???" Quan Zhilong felt that the little flame of guilt that had just arisen in him was instantly extinguished, "Did you want to come to practice because you saw him?"
Ye Eun nodded without hesitation and released the hand that was holding Quan Zhilong. The expression on her face was one of undisguised joy. "Just now, that Oppa nodded to me, hehehe."
It is natural for children to yearn for beautiful things. When the parents just started looking at the newly drafted contract, Ye Eun enthusiastically described the "handsome guy" she saw to Kwon Ji-yong.
"His eyes are like this, and his hair is like this..." Ye-eun tossed her hair to the left, and her black hair instantly covered her watery left eye, "Isn't it super cool!"
Kwon Ji-yong exclaimed, "Ah!" How handsome is this guy? He can even cover one eye and still let Ye-eun practice for him. As a person who is also obsessed with looks, his strong curiosity even overshadows his anxiety that Ye-eun might "like" others more than "like" him.
Driven by curiosity, on the day when he was supposed to go home after signing the contract, Kwon Ji-yong took Yi-eun's hand and made his first practice request as a trainee to Han Lan-ji and Li Zhen.
"I'll take you to see it later! There's really a very handsome Oppa." There seemed to be little stars twinkling in Ye Eun's eyes, and her infatuated look made Kwon Ji-yong even more curious. How handsome is he? Could he be more handsome than my father?
At the same time, the two people who were full of expectations to meet the handsome guy followed the staff obediently to the practice room, listening to him slowly explaining various precautions, and even felt a little anxious.
The building of S/M Company is not too big, but there are still two practice rooms available to separate the trainees by gender. The two people who were separated on two floors did not expect that they would die before they could even accomplish their goal.
"This is it, say hello to your seniors yourself." The staff member gently pushed open the door. A dozen trainees were practicing dancing to the music inside, and they didn't notice that the door was open.
Quan Zhilong entered the boys' practice room alone and stood aside obediently waiting for his seniors to finish practicing. He stood in the corner of the room, and a dozen brothers were dancing in front of a wall painted with blue sky and white clouds. Although there were so many people, he saw a handsome guy at the first time!
Stunning beauty! The distinct edges, the thick eyebrows and big eyes, the stern temperament. Quan Zhilong stared at his brother in the crowd and a hint of doubt flashed through his mind, but his hairstyle didn’t cover his eyes, right?
Is there another very handsome hiong? His gaze shifted again, and sure enough, he saw another handsome brother, with clear eyes like a deer and a superior nose bridge, but his hairstyle was not right!
Kwon Ji-yong's eyes were roaming around among the trainees in front of him, and the trainees also noticed this young newcomer.
"What are you looking at?" As soon as the music stopped, the trainees, whose average age was only 17 or 18 years old, dispersed. Jin Daozhen bent down and asked Quan Zhilong, "Why is there such a small child?"
It’s the brother I saw at first sight! Although Quan Zhilong was excited, he bowed at 90 degrees without any perfunctory gesture, "Hello, seniors. My name is Quan Zhilong. I am 8 years old and a new trainee."
My mom told me to be polite, respect teachers and seniors during training, and answer questions from seniors seriously. There may be cameras in the company at all times, so I must be careful in what I say and do. Quan Zhilong kept his mother's words in mind.
"A new trainee?" Someone in the crowd laughed. It was not directed at the new kid, but because they thought the company was funny.
By bringing so many people in during their debut audition period, were they intentionally putting pressure on them?
The others also fell silent. The company said that it plans to launch a boy group of five or six people next year. At the same time, the number of trainees in the company has been increasing rapidly during this period. Of course, young children like these do not have much competition with them, but what about the new trainees who are about the same age as them?
They only vaguely felt that the company was like putting countless catfish in an already crowded can of sardines, and all they could do was move and swim out to avoid being squeezed to death.
For a moment, several trainees who were in the danger zone became nervous again, and some even blurted out "Ah Xi" in their hearts. Even Kim Do-jin sighed. Judging from the previous assessments, he was in a dangerous group. If he couldn't make his debut, he would have to see if he should change direction.
The sensitive Quan Zhilong was a little frozen, his bent waist motionless, thinking that he had angered his seniors by quietly entering the practice room.
"Hey, get up quickly and stop bowing." Another voice came over, and Wen Xijun blew air on the hair in front of his eyes, "At your age, how will the company arrange for you?"
"They said we come to practice once a month." Quan Zhilong slightly raised his bent waist, looked carefully in the direction of the sound source, and straightened up suddenly after seeing the man clearly.
This is the handsome brother that Ye Eun mentioned! ?
Kwon Ji-yong rubbed his eyes. Either there was something wrong with his eyes or there was something wrong with Ye-eun's eyes!
Kwon Ji-yong, who was training but couldn't keep up with the progress of his seniors, stared at Moon Hee-jun with a serious expression in the mirror. When he was asked by a senior to get water, the two looked at each other in a trance and Moon Hee-jun smiled at him friendly.
While running errands for his senior, Quan Zhilong sighed in his heart, and smiled when they looked at each other. It's over, it's really him! Ye-eun, you better remember it wrong.
On another floor, Ye-eun was being touched and pampered by a group of unnies. Suddenly, her ears felt hot and her nose started to itch. "Oh, it must be Zhilong who missed me."
Yien thought to herself, my mom also told me to tell her immediately if I get bullied here, who would bully such a cute Yien!
She smiled sweetly at the unnie who was holding snacks for her, "Thank you unnie."
