Chapter 39
Thinking back to when he had actively collaborated with him in the past, Li Chu felt mixed emotions.
But no matter what he said at this time, he would feel like he was deliberately slandering someone, so he had to hold it in. Then he looked at Su Ning's face. 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 table in the guest room.
Two people cannot get married without any symbolism, so as a gift of reciprocity, he ordered couple rings from a certain brand.
It was just delivered to my door this morning. It took a few more days to get my initials engraved inside.
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 insisted that Su Ning put it on him.
Su Ning has cooperated 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 very much, 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 marriage form of ordinary people, for this business marriage, the process was at least complete.
After listening to this, Li Chu said:
For some reason, he felt a little complicated when he heard Su Ning's description.
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 will 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 the people were handed over to Su Ning. It is not easy to manage these seven people, and there may be someone eyeing them from behind.
It's not that he was already in a difficult situation 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: "I have already bought him a ring, so be content, is it still unfair to me?"
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 done his hairstyle, and he was afraid of messing up his hair. When his hand was about to touch it, he realized it and stopped there, not pressing down.
But Li Chu felt it, he stretched his head over, rubbed his palm, and said: "It's okay, you can touch me, my part has been filmed, it's okay if my hair is messy."
Then he said firmly: "If Shen Mingzheng is not good to you, just tell me, 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 those people talking about you like that."
Su Ning is a very amazing 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 the previous controversies surrounding Su Ning have been eliminated, it is 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 for long and had never heard of her. Seeing that Su Ning was very interested in finding her, he hummed, lowered his head and snapped his fingers, and asked, "Is there going to be a new person in the company?"
"Not so fast," Su Ning said, "Take your time."
The teacher who taught Ji Xue in Haicheng Drama Academy was found, but he refused to say anything and just said that he was hidden and had nothing to do with your company. Director Yao was unwilling to accept it and asked several times before the other party told the truth.
"What do you mean by little Su Zong? I can't trust him more than him."
"If even your old boss can't handle it, what ability does he have? This reputation doesn't sound good now, so don't come again. I don't want my child to enter the entertainment industry again."
Ji Xue had experienced such a thing, and from her perspective, it was strange that someone asked about it after several years, so it was normal to be distrustful. Besides, Li Chu was also very wary at that time, and 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 and 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 dissatisfied. Instead, he maintained a good relationship with Li Chu. As soon as he came in, he sat next to him carelessly and put his hand on Li Chu's shoulder. He was patted by Li Chu before he let go with a smile.
The third one is from a small company, but was selected by Orange Video. He is 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 steady 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 order. The last three are still filming and haven't come in yet. But even if they haven't arrived, Su Ning looked through their information and found that Zhou Heng and Wang Ruoyi, who were ranked fifth and sixth, are both vocal positions. Both of them are managed by Jianfeng. Zhou Heng is very strong, while Wang Ruoyi has a lively personality. His singing and dancing skills are not so good, but he is very good in variety shows. He debuted probably because of his personality and attracted fans.
The last one is from a small company, the name of the company is "Distant Light", which is referred to as "Yaoguang Studio" in the circle. He is a quiet and shy person, and his name is Lin Zhi. If we have to describe 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 information, Glory's debut group configuration is really good. Even for Su Ning, he rarely sees a seven-member group with such complete qualifications, and no one lags behind in performance and appearance.
"I'm here to discuss the follow-up operations with you. Now, you will be officially taken over by my management team." Su Ning looked at the time and took the lead in greeting the four people who had already sat down. "We have participated in variety shows together before, but now, I am your general manager. It is also a rare fate."
Except for Li Chu, the other three nodded when they heard this and said, "We'll trouble Mr. Su in the future," but it was still unknown whether they were convinced by Su Ning in their hearts. Now it seems that there is a great sense of distance between them.
Su Ning did not explain much, and the scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone just waited for everyone to arrive, but these people waited and waited, and the last three people never came in.
The people in the agency team felt something was wrong, so they followed Su Ning's instructions and went over to check it out. When they came back, their faces were pale.
"Boss Su, something bad has happened."
"They said that the three artists were picked up by people from their original company just now," the assistant was so anxious that he stuttered. "I saw that the artists didn't even think about it, and were dragged away by people from their original company. Our people realized something was wrong and wanted to stop them, but they failed. They chased them downstairs, but 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. Rui Song stood up suddenly and said, "We still have an interview in the 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 of Jianfeng Company, who answered the call quickly.
"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. President Su can't restrict their personal freedom."
The words were flawless, and even Su Ning could not tell there was any problem with it during the recording or even the public live broadcast.
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 to do so."
There was a laugh from 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're still young and you still have a long way to go."
Then the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Su Ning stood there for a while holding the phone, then called Lin Zhi's Yaoguang Company. The other party also avoided the question and was obviously listening 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 disappeared idols, but they were talking behind his back about the company using these people to make things difficult for him.
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, and everyone's fans were 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 Jianfeng was not targeting him, but for Allen, these debut group members are very popular, so of course he has to make money in his own hands to benefit.
This call was not made by Su Ning, but by the real owner.
"Boss Su," he heard Allen's gentle laugh 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 the time, and what you mentioned 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 when encountering such a thing, but in the end, he only waited for a bland sentence: "Why should I convince you?"
Then Su Ning hung up the phone.
The team 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 like that for such a blatant robbery.
The originally neat and tidy team now has only four people left. It is even more difficult to "change the impression" when everyone is not together. The troubles of the Dabao group started from the first day he took over.
The four young idols present also knew something was wrong. Ruisong's face had been unhappy since he heard about this. He waited until Su Ning came back. He witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but slammed the table and said, "Well, now the person is gone! President Su, I tell you, none of these good plans can be realized."
Qu Shoubai winked at him and said, "Watch your words. Mr. Su doesn't want to do this either."
"Brother Qu, is this something I should pay attention to?" he said, "They will definitely not be back before the interview tonight. Mr. Su, Su Ning, you really...ah, you are young, how can you control them!"
Ruisong is a straightforward person. He works for Orange Video and knows some inside information.
As for the question of why domestic talent shows’ debut groups often reach their peak right after their debut, there is an unavoidable situation – they cannot get enough members together. Today’s situation is not the first time it has occurred in the history of talent shows.
The platform does not have enough say in operations, which results 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 their recent contracts have been signed very strictly to ensure that most of the team members are always online, and then they can make a name for themselves.
Therefore, the contract signed by Ou Tu Si is also very strict, but for large companies 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 time for them to take over the people from Orange Video, and the other party is taking advantage of this opportunity.
It’s not that Su Ning didn’t send people to watch over there, but today’s shooting scene had to remain quiet, and the control was strict so 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 public pressure from fans outside. Even if Su Ning stops it today, there will be another wave until they take the people away.
"I will let the agency team negotiate with their company about this matter," Su Ning said. "I think a company that abides by the contract should keep its basic promises. I will definitely get the person back."
Ruisong looked at him with complicated eyes and almost asked, "Why are you so naive?"
How can this be solved by a few words of negotiation?
Qu Shoubai and Ji Mowei looked at each other. They knew that Ruisong's worries were not unreasonable, but they did not dare to say anything more to Su Ning. Only Li Chu was still a loyal fan of Su Ning.
"Yes, I'll listen to you, Master."
The people from Su'ning did go to negotiate, but the results were minimal, which was within everyone's expectations.
That night, in an online talk show that Orange Video had arranged, the three trainees who had left did not return until the end of the recording.
The people in the team called Jianfeng and Yaoguang again, but they didn't answer. When they called again, their phones were turned off. The three trainees' phones could not be reached from the beginning. They must have been put away.
At the same time, the "big fans" of these people on the Internet who originally led the trend were happily exchanging messages, saying that the personal advertising resources of these people were about to start shooting.
What this represents 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 strained. 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 here, I will ask you out for another exclusive date. Please bear with me this time."
But as soon as the media left, everyone looked unhappy.
Now, his advantage as the general agent is that he is calm enough. He did not vent his anger on 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 temper before? You are worse than before! Su Ning, being too easy to talk to won't work in this circle!"
In the eyes of these trainees, Su Ning's personality has indeed changed 180 degrees, but no one can tell whether it is good or bad.
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 also knew that Su Ning had specially hired a doctor for Li Chu in the program crew, and Li Chu had brainwashed him several times with words of admiration, so the once arrogant Su Ning seemed to have made a 180-degree turn after being beaten by reality, and became a gentle, loving, very kind and a little soft-hearted person.
Li Chu's original words were even more outrageous, as if Su Ning was some kind of holy father who had come down to earth to shine his warm light on the earth. 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 didn't seem angry at all. He just said, "After the interviews tonight, the resources arranged by Orange Video have basically been completed. According to our original plan, everyone will move to a new place to live next."
"Now that we're a group, in order to make everyone more familiar with each other, during the one and a half years of the limited group, according to the agreement, everyone will live together. Is this okay?"
Everyone:……
Only Li Chu continued to support him: "No problem!"
"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, and we should have a good rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera crew nearby turned on several cameras, as if they were planning to record the incident.
Wait, what place is worth so much ceremony?
