Chapter 86
Kang Ah-rin's strong comeback has greatly shocked everyone at YG, especially those staff who used to work with her.
They really didn't expect that the person who had been working with them before would make such a dramatic turn and suddenly become their boss. How could they not be surprised?
Employee A: "Wow!!! If this wasn't an internal company announcement, I would have thought someone was playing a prank!"
Employee B: "That's right, Jiang Yalin is now the president of the company. I really want to know what she did during her time away from the company?"
Employee C: "But I feel he's a pretty good person, so even if there are changes, it shouldn't be too much."
Employee A couldn't help but retort: "What do you know? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Those in a position should fulfill their responsibilities'? She got along well with you back then because she was just an ordinary agent, but things are different now. Now she's the president, she's gone from a lowly worker to a capitalist. Do you expect a capitalist to stand on the same side as a lowly employee like you?"
Employee B tried to smooth things over: "It's not that absolute. It depends on the company's future policies. In the end, the company just wants to make money, and our goal is also to make money. As long as the company doesn't try to cut corners, our wages will be profitable."
The internal discussions at YG were heated, and the outside world was also shocked by the change of leadership at YG. They did not expect that a company that was going public would change its boss so quietly.
Those in the industry were naturally looking to take advantage of the situation, so they mocked Yang Hyun-suk for losing to a young girl. Meanwhile, fans of YG artists were initially worried, fearing their idols wouldn't be favored by the new boss.
However, when I saw that the new boss was actually G-Dragon's former manager from BigBang, my worries immediately took a backseat. Of course, the first thing on the front line was gossip.
—Oh my god! Is it time to rush to meet year-end targets? I thought this year was over, but I didn't expect such a big show to happen at the end of the year. It really puts a wonderful end to 2009.
Wow, Jiang Yalin is truly a role model for us all. Although I know that such a thing requires enough money to achieve, I know that but can any of you do it?
—Now I really want to ask, what exactly did Yang Xianshuo do to that young girl that made her buy the company in a fit of anger? On a side note, I also want to have that ability to buy the house of anyone who makes me angry.
— Kang Ah-rin still has feelings for our G-Dragon oppa, right? Our oppa will have a good life at YG in the future, right?
—I just hope that the conflict between the two presidents has nothing to do with our oppa. Otherwise, I can't imagine how difficult it would be for my oppa to have a boss who doesn't like him.
Both the outside world and the inside world were waiting for Jiang Yalin's next move, and she didn't keep people waiting for long. Her first move was to target the artists.
She definitely won't touch the pre-signed contracts, because they are the foundation of the company, but she will make some adjustments to the agents working for the artists.
We've increased the number of female staff members on the girl group side. After all, there are still differences between men and women, and sometimes it's not very convenient for male staff members.
However, not all staff members are female, because sometimes male staff members are still needed for safety and security.
Some employee benefits have also been upgraded, and the seniority culture has been reformed.
Honestly, although she is Korean, she really hates the Korean senior-junior culture. While she doesn't expect these people to change overnight, hers is too distorted, and it is strictly forbidden within the company.
Of course, this move provoked opposition from many older employees or those who had been with the company for many years, because it really touched their interests.
Otherwise, they would have people above them who would oppress them, but they would vent their anger by bullying those below them. Now that the company has introduced this policy, the group in the middle is the least willing to accept it.
However, in response to their objections, the company simply stated that they were merely employees of the company and had not sold themselves to it; if they did not like some of the company's policies, they could choose to leave.
Of course, Jiang Yalin didn't say it that completely. She directly told Xiao Lin's assistant, "They can work if they want, and get out if they don't!!!"
Is that a fair way to put it?
Of course, you can't say it like that, so the company embellished it without changing the core meaning of the statement. But even with the embellishment, those people still couldn't accept it, so there's nothing we can do.
Until everything settled down, Jiang Yalin did not go to see Quan Zhilong. Quan Zhilong, who knew that she had accomplished what she wanted to do, also wanted to see her at this moment, but he knew that she was very busy, so he did not want to disturb her.
During the time that Jiang Yalin was away, Jin Duola, whom she had long forgotten, successfully squeezed into G-Dragon's circle of friends by relying on her various connections.
Kim Dora's teammates were both envious and jealous of her single-minded desire to meet G-Dragon and her success. On the surface, they looked down on her behavior, but in secret, they were grinding their teeth in frustration.
Who wouldn't want to know G-Dragon?
The problem is that they can't reach him now. It's one thing if they can't reach him, but this woman managed to reach him. Not only did she let him know that such a person exists, but she also got his contact information and infiltrated his social circle. They even had the urge to get up in the middle of the night and strangle him to death by his bedside.
Kim Dora didn't care at all about her teammates' envy and jealousy. Having been in this industry for a while, she knew all too well that many groups were just window dressing groups, and that while the members of many groups seemed to have a good relationship, it was really just a superficial one.
When she transmigrated here, she never intended to form a deep sisterly bond with these people. So when she saw their envious, jealous, and hateful faces, she wasn't sad. Instead, she secretly became more wary of them, because no one knows what a jealous person might do.
It seems that G-Dragon's third relationship is about to begin, but what came even earlier than the third relationship was the end of 2009.
Kwon Ji-yong thought Kang Ah-rin would return to his position as his manager, but as he waited and waited, and as the busy end of the year approached, Kang Ah-rin did not come back. He knew that the days when she could be by his side anytime were gone forever.
The end of the year was busy, but the harvest was also very rich. Both BigBang and he personally have achieved great things this year.
YG Entertainment, which only had two groups this year, has officially begun to resemble the three giants of the industry, along with SM and JYP. Other companies have gradually lost their former glory, especially compared to these three companies this year.
It's often said that success in one's career often leads to setbacks in love, but this saying seems to have no effect on G-Dragon, while it certainly applies to Kang Ah-rin.
She broke up with her boyfriend, and she was the one who got dumped.
The reason is that she has been too busy lately and doesn't even have time to call Lee Soo-hyuk. Actually, it's not that she doesn't have the time, but rather that she doesn't have the thought or the mood to call him.
When the other party brought up breaking up, Jiang Yalin was only stunned for a moment before quickly agreeing. It was clear that Li Zhuhe's reaction was not what one would expect from someone who initiated a breakup.
He held the phone, staring blankly at everything in front of him, his ears ringing. He really hadn't expected Jiang Yalin to agree to something so readily, even though she had no real ability.
"What's wrong, Soo-hyuk?"
He held the phone, his eyes suddenly reddening, and he remained silent, which startled the other people in the private room. One of the boys who was close to him took the initiative to go over and look at him with a worried expression.
"I'm fine, I need to go out and take care of something."
After saying that, he hurriedly grabbed his phone and ran out. Once he reached a secluded corner and made sure Jiang Yalin hadn't hung up, he spoke with a somewhat aggrieved tone.
"That was just a dare in the game, I didn't mean to break up..."
"Then why don't you refuse? Or are you trying to use this opportunity to test me?"
Recently, Jiang Yalin has been learning how to manage a company from Assistant Lin. She is feeling tired and her head is throbbing. She doesn't want to deal with this kind of thing during her rare time off.
She also felt that she wasn't ready for a relationship at this time, and unexpectedly received his breakup call. Even if it was a misunderstanding, even if she lost the game, she agreed to break up. She was serious because when she made this decision, she didn't know it was just a dare.
"Please, don't... I was wrong, I shouldn't have agreed to this dare, I..."
"Soo-hyuk, you're a good person, but I don't have the energy to consider relationships right now. If my decision hurts you, I'm sorry, but I can't take it back. Since I was the one who started this relationship, I'll end it. I wish you find someone better in the future."
After hanging up the phone, she deleted and blocked him in one fell swoop, giving Lee Soo-hyuk no chance to win her back. Lee Soo-hyuk was completely dumbfounded when his girlfriend suddenly disappeared while he was playing a game.
He stood in the dark corner, just like the love he had lost, standing there motionless and dazed.
After a while, he turned and left without saying goodbye to the people in the private room, and ran straight to a BigBang dormitory.
"What?! You two broke up?!?!"
G-Dragon thought he would be happy, but he wasn't as happy as he imagined. Instead, he was worried. Oh dear, what was the reason for their breakup?
"I lost a game, and I had to call her and break up with her on Truth or Dare..."
"Damn it... Did a donkey kick your brain?!"
