Chapter 39

Thinking back to the time when he had actively collaborated with him, Li Chu felt mixed emotions.

But no matter what he said at this moment, he would feel like he was deliberately slandering her, so he had to hold it in. Then he looked at Su Ning's expression. It seemed that Su Ning didn't think too much about it, including the matter of the ring.

He also talked to Li Chu a little more, for example, the ring given by Shen Mingzheng was too expensive and not suitable for daily wear. Su Ning was afraid of bumping it, so he took it off that night and locked it in the bedside cabinet in the guest room.

Two people cannot get married without any symbolism, so as a gift of reciprocity, he ordered wedding rings from a certain brand.

It was just delivered to my door this morning. It took a few days to get my initials engraved on it.

Although it was far less valuable than the ruby ​​ring, Mr. Shen was indeed very happy, as if he had received a priceless treasure, and he forced Su Ning to put it on him.

Su Ning has worked with many people in business, but he has never had such a tacit understanding with anyone as Shen Mingzheng.

He also cherished this hard-earned cooperative relationship, so he put it on him very seriously.

When Su Ning went out, he saw him sitting there, looking at the simple and low-key ring on his ring finger with an unconcealable smile on his face. They didn't put the rings on each other until this morning. Although it was different from the wedding form of ordinary people, for this business marriage, the process was at least complete.

After listening to this, Li Chu said:

He didn't know why, but after hearing Su Ning's description, he felt a little complicated.

However, Mr. Shen, who felt that he had become famous after receiving the ring, could not help but remind Su Ning before he left: "You have to be careful."

"Today I officially took over the group from Orange Video. I'm afraid someone might mess things up. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

Shen Mingzheng went to the company today to oversee the album production, and left it to Su Ning. It is not easy to manage these seven people, and there may be someone eyeing them from behind.

No, he was already in a difficult position when he first met Li Chu.

Li Chu sat next to Su Ning, knowing that this matter was set in stone and could not be changed. He felt a little unhappy and then whispered, "You've already bought him a ring. Be content, don't you think you're being treated unfairly?"

To be fair, Shen Mingzheng is certainly much better than Shen Huai.

But when he thought back, he always felt that this young Mr. Shen had planned this for a long time. Maybe he had thought of it when he was dealing with Jiang Chenfeng and Shen Huai. No, maybe even earlier.

Su Ning wasn't quite sure what was making him depressed.

But the child was unhappy, and he subconsciously wanted to comfort him by patting his head. However, Li Chu had his hair done, and he was afraid of messing up his hair. When his hand was about to touch his hand, he reacted and stopped there, not pressing down.

But Li Chu felt it, so he stretched his head over and rubbed his palm, saying, "It's okay, you can touch me as much as you want, my part has been filmed, and it's okay if my hairstyle is messed up."

Then he said firmly: "If Shen Mingzheng can't treat you well, just tell me and I will definitely deal with him."

Su Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "No. It's enough for you to do this combination well."

Speaking of this group, Li Chu just remembered the farce of quarreling online this morning. Su Ning asked him if he felt bad, he curled his lips and said, "A little bit, I don't want the fans to be angry, and I don't like them saying that about you."

Su Ning is a very powerful and kind person!

Obviously many things have been clarified, but those people outside don't believe it and will still be led by others.

But now Li Chu also knows that if he posts something on Shangguanhao out of anger, it will only make things difficult for his fans and Su Ning.

Although many of the previous controversies surrounding Su Ning have been resolved, it is still not easy to establish a completely positive image in the circle.

This incident even affected his search for Ji Xue.

Su Ning mentioned this girl to him and asked Li Chu if he had any impression of her. Li Chu thought about it and then shook his head.

He had not been in the company long and had never heard of this. Seeing that Su Ning seemed to be very interested in finding her, he hummed, lowered his head, snapped his fingers, and asked, "Are there any new people coming to the company?"

"Not so fast," Su Ning said, "Take your time."

The teacher who taught Ji Xue at Haicheng Drama Academy was found, but he refused to tell anyone, saying that he was hidden and had nothing to do with your company. Director Yao was unwilling to accept this and questioned him several times before he told the truth.

"What kind of young boss are you? I can't trust him."

"If even your old boss can't handle it, what ability does he have? This reputation doesn't sound good now. Don't come again. I don't want my children to enter the entertainment industry again."

Ji Xue had experienced this before, and from her perspective, it was strange that someone asked about it after several years, so it was normal for her to be distrustful. Besides, Li Chu was also very wary at that time, so she would be even more so.

Coupled with Su Ning's current reputation being damaged, things on the Internet may seem untenable, but they often have a significant impact.

While Su Ning and Li Chu were sitting and talking, the other people had basically completed their filming tasks, and people came in one after another.

The original owner had participated in this program before, so he didn't need any introductions, as he knew everyone there.

Ji Mowei, who was originally ranked first but was now ranked second by Li Chu, did not look gloomy or unhappy. Instead, he maintained a good relationship with Li Chu. As soon as he came in, he sat next to him and put his hand on Li Chu's shoulder. Li Chu patted him and then he let go with a smile.

The third one is from a small company, but was selected by Orange Video. He is a rapper Ruisong. He is very young and has participated in a rap show on the same platform.

There is no need to say much about the fourth place Qu Shoubai. In today's special broadcast of Orange Video Live, the mature and stable Qu Shoubai was elected captain with a high vote and sat in the middle of the three as soon as he came in.

The filming was done in sequence. The last three are still being filmed and haven't come in yet. But even if they haven't arrived, Su Ning looked up their information and found that Zhou Heng and Wang Ruoyi, who are ranked fifth and sixth, are both vocals. Both of them are from Jianfeng Agency. Zhou Heng is very talented, while Wang Ruoyi has a lively personality. His singing and dancing skills are not so good, but he performs very well in variety shows. He debuted probably because of his personality and attracted many fans.

The last one is from a small company called Faraway Light, also known as Faraway Studio in the circle. He is quiet and shy, and his name is Lin Zhi. If we have to say his characteristics, he is just good-looking, with a delicate look. In the initial appearance evaluation of Figure 4, Su Ning ranked first and he ranked second.

Although the last three have not appeared yet, but looking at the full data, Glory's debut group configuration is really good. Even for Su Ning, he rarely sees a seven-member group with such complete qualifications, and none of them lag behind in performance and appearance.

"I'm here to discuss the subsequent operations with you. Now, you will be officially taken over by my brokerage team." Su Ning looked at the time and took the lead in greeting the four people who had already sat down. "We used to participate in variety shows together, but now, I am your general agent, which is also a rare fate."

Except for Li Chu, the other three nodded when they heard what he said, and responded with "Thank you, Mr. Su, for your help in the future." However, it was still unknown whether they believed in Su Ning in their hearts. Now it seemed that they felt quite distant.

Su Ning did not explain much, and the scene suddenly became quiet, waiting for everyone to arrive. However, these people waited and waited, but the last three did not come in.

The people in the brokerage team felt something was wrong, so they followed Su Ning's instructions and went to check it out. When they came back, their faces were pale.

"Boss Su, something bad has happened."

"It was said that these three artists were picked up by people from their original company just now," the assistant was so anxious that he stuttered while speaking, "I saw that the artists didn't expect it, and they were dragged away by people from their original company. Our people found something wrong and wanted to stop them, but they couldn't. They chased them downstairs, but they still couldn't get them back."

This was an unexpected situation that no one expected.

Su Ning frowned, but before he could say anything, the other members of the group reacted immediately. Ruisong stood up suddenly and said, "We still have an interview this afternoon. How can they leave now?"

Su Ning motioned for him to sit down, then walked aside and carefully asked about the whole story. He then called the person in charge at Jianfeng Company, and the call was quickly connected.

"Boss Su, I'm sorry, we just want to say a few words to our artists. I promise they will be back soon."

"I just happened to take some time off. It will definitely not affect your work here. President Su can't restrict their personal freedom."

The words were flawless, and even if Su Ning recorded it or even broadcast it live to the public, there would be no problem.

Su Ning only said: "Let the artist answer the phone."

"Zhou Heng and the others don't have time, so I can come and talk to you," the other party said, "Boss Su, we are all doing this for the good of the artists, how can I harm them?"

"You left the team without permission, aren't you harming them?" Su Ning said, "You didn't even dare to answer the phone. I think the artist himself is unwilling."

There was a laugh on the other side.

"That's not what the fans on the Internet say. They naturally have to listen to the fans' opinions. There's no such thing as being willing or not," the other side said, "Mr. Su, you are still young and you still have a long way to go."

Then the other party hung up the phone.

Su Ning stood there for a while holding the phone, then called Lin Zhi's Yuanguang Company. The other party also avoided the question and obviously listened to Jian Feng.

When Su Ning finally called Allen, he already had a rough idea of ​​what the other party had done. This was not a problem of the three missing idols, but they were saying behind their backs that the company was using these idols to make things difficult for them.

It becomes even clearer when combined with the hot searches early in the morning.

Glory debuted at a time when fans were the most enthusiastic. Everyone's fans are very powerful. If Su Ning cannot change the impression, then the farce that started on the hot search this morning is just the beginning.

How could this be caused by these trainees or one or two fans? Even the peak was not just targeting him, but for Allen, these popular debutants must be kept in his own hands to make money.

The call was not made by Su Ning, but by the host himself.

"Boss Su," he heard Allen's chuckle on the other end of the line, "I've been waiting for your call for a long time."

"I'm actually quite curious about what you said to Liang Xiaoliang at that time, and what you said to the old man afterwards. It was just a meeting, but a few words changed these people's positions," he said, "but after thinking about it, I don't know how you are going to convince me this time."

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Su Ning was silent for a long time. Allen thought he was angry. Normal people would be angry if they encountered such a thing. But in the end, he only waited for a bland sentence: "Why should I persuade you?"

Then Su Ning hung up the phone.

The executive agent standing next to him was so anxious that sweat started to fall from his forehead. Then he heard Su Ning curse in a low voice: "What a fake foreign devil."

It's no wonder that Liang Xiaoliang scolded him for such a blatant robbery.

The originally complete team now has only four people left. It is even more difficult to "reverse the impression" when the team is not complete. The troubles in the group started from the first day he took over.

The four young idols present also knew that something was wrong. Ruisong's face had been unhappy since he heard about this. He held it in until Su Ning came back. He witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but slam the table and said, "Well, now the person is gone! President Su, I tell you, this good plan can't be realized at all."

Qu Shoubai winked at him and said, "Be careful with your words. Mr. Su doesn't want to do this either."

"Brother Qu, is this something I should pay attention to or not?" he said, "They will definitely not be able to come back before the interview tonight. Mr. Su, Su Ning, you really...ah, you are so young, how can you control them!"

Ruisong is a straightforward person. He works for Orange Video and knows some inside information.

Regarding the question of why domestic talent shows often reach their peak right after their debut, there is an inevitable situation - the lack of enough people. Today's situation is not the first time it has happened in the history of talent shows.

The platform does not have enough say in operations, resulting in these trainees who have gained some fame in the talent shows being often called back by their original companies. After all, according to the original contract, the income of the limited group has almost nothing to do with the original company.

Once we are called away, it will be difficult to get together again.

Our friendly competitors have suffered greatly from this, so they have signed recent contracts with particular strictness in order to keep most of their team members online all the time and then make some achievements.

Therefore, the contract signed by Ou Tu Si is also very strict, but for a large company like Jianfeng, the tug of war with the platform is still very severe.

Su Ning had adjusted his mood and looked very calm. He motioned Ruisong to sit down and said, "This matter was my negligence."

Now is the handover moment for them to take over the people from Orange Video, and the other party is seizing this opportunity.

It’s not that Su Ning didn’t send people to watch there, but today’s shooting scene had to remain quiet and was strictly controlled. No one was allowed to enter casually. I could only wait at the door, and in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.

There is also the pressure of public opinion from fans outside. Even if Su Ning holds on today, there will be another wave until they take the person away.

"I will let the agency team negotiate with their company on this matter," Su Ning said. "I think a company that abides by the contract should keep its basic promises. I will definitely get the people back."

Ruisong looked at him with complicated eyes and almost asked, "Why are you so naive?"

How can this be solved by just a few words of negotiation?

Qu Shoubai and Ji Mowei looked at each other. They knew that Ruisong's worry was not unreasonable, but they did not dare to say anything more to Su Ning. Only Li Chu was still a die-hard fan of Su Ning.

"Yes, I'll listen to you, Master."

The people of Su'ning did go to negotiate, but the results were minimal, which was within everyone's expectations.

That night, in an online interview program that Orange Video had already arranged, the three trainees who had left did not return until the end of the recording.

The team members called Jianfeng and Yuanguang again, but neither of them answered. When they called again, their phones were turned off. The three interns' phones could not be reached from the beginning. They must have been put away.

At the same time, the former “big fans” of these people on the Internet were happily exchanging information, saying that their personal advertising resources were about to start shooting.

What this means is self-evident.

The online media team that came to interview tonight was very unhappy because of the temporary shortage of people. It was the smooth-talking Su Ning who coaxed them and prevented the relationship from becoming too awkward. After his speech, the other media even began to sympathize with him. When they left, they patted Su Ning on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Su, I understand. It's not easy for you."

Su Ning smiled bitterly, but still assured: "When everyone is gathered, I will make another exclusive appointment with you. Please bear with me this time."

But once the media left, everyone looked unhappy.

His advantage as a general agent is that he is calm enough, he did not anger everyone, and he also successfully appeased the media. But how can this solve the most fundamental problem of "lack of people"?

"You are too gentle!" Ruisong sat there angrily, and said to Su Ning, looking very distressed, "You can't use this method to deal with Jian Feng. Where is your previous temper? You are worse than before! Su Ning, being too easy to talk to won't work in this circle!"

In the eyes of these interns, Su Ning's personality has indeed changed 180 degrees, but no one can tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

At a time like this, we should be tough!

Even if Qu Shoubai and Ji Mowei didn't say anything, they probably thought so in their hearts.

Especially since they knew that Su Ning had specially hired a doctor for Li Chu from the program crew, and Li Chu had brainwashed him with words of admiration several times, the once arrogant Su Ning seemed to have made a 180-degree turn after being hit by reality, and became a gentle, loving, very kind and a little soft-hearted person.

Even Li Chu's original words were more outrageous, as if Su Ning was some kind of Holy Father who came down to earth to illuminate the earth with warm light. It turned out that everyone was half-believing and half-doubting.

Now it seems that Li Chu was not exaggerating.

There is no one in this circle who is as easy to talk to as Su Ning!

But facing the members' dissatisfaction, Su Ning still looked not angry at all, and just said: "The interviews are over tonight, and the resources arranged by Orange Video are basically completed. According to our original plan, everyone will move to another place to live next."

"Now that we're a group, in order for everyone to get to know each other better, we'll all live together during the limited year and a half of the group, as agreed. Is that okay with you?"

Everyone:……

Only Li Chu continued to support him: "No opinion!"

"Okay," Su Ning looked at the only person who answered him, "Now I will take you to see where to stay. We are all tired, it's time to have a good rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, the camera crew nearby turned on several cameras, as if they were planning to take pictures.

Wait, what place is so grand?
