"KBS 7 o'clock News" is an evening comprehensive news program under the Korean Broadcasting Corporation. It was launched on April 5, 1965. The program uses the slogan "1 hour of authentic evening comprehensive news" to convey various major and minor events that happened in Korea and abroad that day. The broadcast time is every Monday from 19:00 to 19:40 Seoul time, live on KBS1 channel.
It was the first time for Zheng Enxuan to visit Song Yi's renovated office. She looked at Li Xianzhen who was talking freely on the show. Li Xianzhen was wearing a blue suit and her long black hair was tied into a single ponytail, which made her look very capable and elegant.
"You know what, this KBS news reporter is quite pretty. She can directly participate in the Miss Korea pageant." Zheng Enxuan commented on Li Xianzhen's outstanding appearance.
Song Yi answered meaningfully, "No ordinary Korean lady can be a KBS news reporter. You should be familiar with this beautiful reporter. Her father is Lee Sang-dae, the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office."
Zheng Enxuan was a little surprised. She walked to the TV screen, looked at Li Xianzhen carefully, and sighed, "It's a pity that Mingxuan hasn't graduated yet, otherwise she would be a suitable candidate for my daughter-in-law."
The social status of the hosts of KBS TV in South Korea is very high. Compared with Korean female artists, they are more favored by chaebol families. For example, Zhou Daxuan, the youngest son of Zhou Mengyu, the fourth son of the modern family, married the beautiful KBS reporter Lu Xianzhen.
Among the three major TV stations, KBS has the most beautiful reporters, but KBS also has the most stringent admission requirements. Lee Hyun-jin previously interned at SBS TV station, and after completing her internship, she was able to enter KBS, which is simply a legend in the station.
Lee Hyun-jin's image is that of a typical daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. It would be perfect for her to represent her husband's family at corporate public events. Such occasions require her to dress elegantly and generously to match her status.
Song Yi felt it was a bit strange. Li Xiangda arrested your husband and took him to the procuratorate, and you were still thinking of making Li Xiangda's daughter your daughter-in-law?
"It's okay. As the saying goes, a girl who is three years older than a man is likely to bring wealth. Lee Hyun-jin is only a few years older than Ming-xuan. If you want, I can introduce her to you. Besides, Lee Hyun-jin was Tae-hee's best friend in college, so our two families are considered to be even closer." Song Yi and Zheng Enxuan joked.
"Li Xianzhen is Tae Hee's best friend in college? So you've known each other for a long time? Forget it." Zheng Enxuan lost interest instantly. If Li Xianzhen married Zhou Mingxuan and the two families visited each other frequently, she was afraid that her son would be cheated. If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law committed themselves to Song Yi one after another, it would become a scandal for the rich family.
Song Yi guessed what Zheng Enxuan was thinking and motioned for her to sit on his lap. He then put his arms around Zheng Enxuan's abdomen.
Zheng Enxuan held down Song Yi's naughty hand and said, "Don't move. Just leave it like this. You know I'm ticklish."
Song Yi smiled ambiguously, "Really? Uncle Meng Xian will be released from the Procuratorate next month. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Zheng Enxuan's breathing began to become unstable, and she tried to remain calm. "How else do you want to thank me? My people are yours. You are not planning to take over the Eshan Group, are you? If you do this, you will become the public enemy of the entire Modern Family."
In the eyes of the Xiandai family, Zheng Enxuan was just helping Zhou Mengxian to manage the Eshan Group. Sooner or later, the Eshan Group would be passed to Zhou Mengxian's only son Zhou Mingxuan. The Eshan Group could not be named Zheng, let alone Song, it could only be named Zhou. The Xiandai family members could fight among themselves, but they could not let outsiders get away with it.
It seems that the rapid expansion of the New Asia system has aroused Zheng Enxuan's vigilance. Song Yi reflected in his heart, is it because he has been too high-profile recently? Past experience tells him that he must be patient and perseverant. Only after long-term patience can he enjoy the ultimate joy of tasting the fruits of the final victory.
Now the subsidiaries of Xinya Group are undergoing integration. Eshan Group is the second largest shareholder of Xinya Group's affiliated companies. Song Yi still needs Zheng Enxuan's unconditional support.
Once the seeds of suspicion were planted in their hearts, the trust between Song Yi and Zheng Enxuan was broken. Song Yi decided to appease Zheng Enxuan first. Now it is the critical period for Xinya to go public through backdoor listing. Chen Zaican, Song Suying and Zheng Enxuan must not make any mistakes.
Song Yi said to Zheng Enxuan, "There is a special lounge in my office with a SPA bed. Aren't you tired from work recently? I'll go to the lounge and give you a massage. I'll also let you try what it's like to be a rider later."
At 9:30 in the evening, Zheng Enxuan, wearing a mask, left the New Asia Building and prepared to drive home. Zheng Enxuan sat in the car, took out the makeup mirror and lipstick from her bag, and applied lipstick on her lips first.
Zheng Enxuan found that her face in the mirror was rosy, and there was a spring of satisfaction on her face. As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage. She and Song Yi hadn't dated for more than two months, and she didn't expect that Song Yi was still so familiar with her body.
She patted her burning face, trying to sober herself up. Zheng Enxuan couldn't help scolding herself, "Don't be so naughty at this late hour, your husband is about to be released from prison! You should cut off the relationship with Song Yi as soon as possible!"
After she finished talking to herself, Zheng Enxuan began to feel conflicted again. She knew that she was actually playing with fire, but she was still craving for the happiness that Song Yi gave her.
Like most middle-aged couples, Zheng Enxuan and Zhou Mengxian have long been sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams. Zhou Mengxian used to be the chairman of Hyundai Group. After get off work, he would rather sleep alone in the study than go back to the bedroom and sleep in the same bed with Zheng Enxuan.
To outsiders, Zhou Mengxian and Zheng Enxuan are a loving couple. Only Zheng Enxuan's eldest daughter Zhou Zhiyi realizes that her parents' marriage is in name only and her mother Zheng Enxuan rarely smiles.
However, things took a turn for the better after Zheng Enxuan became the chairman of Eshan Group. Zhou Zhiyi found that her mother Zheng Enxuan looked younger and her complexion became better. No matter how busy she was at work, Zheng Enxuan would still exercise through swimming and yoga, and go to the beauty salon every week for body care. Zheng Enxuan, who was in her early 40s, looked like a charming young woman in her early 30s.
Zheng Enxuan certainly knew who the reason for her change was because compared to Song Yi's other young lovers, such as Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo, her figure and appearance were not superior, but she gave outsiders an awe-inspiring desire to conquer.
Just imagine, Eshan Group has tens of thousands of employees, and every employee in the group is respectful to you. The male subordinates in the group don't even dare to look Zheng Enxuan in the eye in the company, let alone treat Zheng Enxuan as an ordinary woman and scan Zheng Enxuan's plump figure. How arrogant Zheng Enxuan is in front of outsiders, how submissive she is in front of Song Yi, this contrast in status makes her win Song Yi's favor.
Zheng Enxuan is very clear about her position, and she also knows her value to Song Yi. As long as she is the president of Eshan Group, Song Yi will win her over. If one day she loses her value to Song Yi, Song Yi will treat her as an ordinary elder without mercy.
When Zheng Enxuan drove out of the underground parking lot of Xinya Building, Liu Huiying also happened to drive into the parking lot. Zheng Enxuan and Liu Huiying drove the same black Equus, and the two cars happened to meet in the underground parking lot.
Liu Huiying did not recognize Zheng Enxuan in the car. She felt a little strange. "Logically, the employees of Xinya Media should have left work long ago. How come someone just went home so late? Could she have just left Song Yi's office?"
Xu Zhuxian had already attended the training course of SM Entertainment, and she was about to drive to pick up her daughter. After Song Yi heard that Liu Huiying was going to SM Entertainment, he asked her to meet him at the New Asia Building, and the two of them went to the SM Building together.
Liu Huiying subconsciously felt that this elegant woman knew Song Yi. She guessed in her heart, "Could it be that this woman came here on purpose to have a private meeting with Song Yi? But she obviously looks like a married woman. It turns out that Song Yi really has the legacy of Wei Wu."
Liu Huiying knew that the special elevator in the parking lot could directly reach the top floor of the New Asia Building. However, when she guessed that Song Yi had just had an affair with Zheng Enxuan in the office, she suddenly didn't dare to go upstairs to see Song Yi alone.
She stayed in the parking lot for a quarter of an hour, then called Song Yi, "I'm already downstairs, how about I wait for you downstairs?"
It was so late, Song Yi couldn't let Liu Huiying come up to wait for him, so he took the elevator directly to the parking lot. Song Yi told his bodyguard Che Taizhi, "I still have to go to SM Entertainment. I will take Principal Liu's car today, and you drive with us."
Cha Tae-sik replied, “Yes, President.”
Song Yi sat on the passenger seat of Liu Huiying's car. Liu Huiying didn't expect that Song Yi would choose to ride in her Equus tonight. Usually, only Xu Zhuxian or her husband sat on the passenger seat of her car.
"This seat is a bit too forward. You are tall. If you feel uncomfortable, you can adjust it back. Forget it, let me help you adjust it." Liu Huiying turned sideways to help Song Yi adjust the height of the seat. She felt that the posture of the two of them was a bit ambiguous. She was almost lying on Song Yi's chest. Her ears quickly turned red, and then she sat back in her original position unnaturally.
"Okay, we can go now." Liu Huiying started to find a topic. She was wearing a pair of black skinny nine-point pants, a gray off-shoulder sweater on the upper body, and a black coat on the outside, giving her a fashionable and beautiful look.
Song Yi leaned back in his seat comfortably and complimented Liu Huiying on her outfit. "Sister Huiying, I suggest you don't go out in such pretty clothes at night, otherwise people might think you are single and ask you for your phone number."
Liu Huiying was very happy to hear this. She didn’t know why she would change her clothes before going out. Could it be that women dress up to please themselves?
She was very happy, but she did not forget to retort, "Why? We married women cannot have the right to pursue beauty? Don't worry, when they see the wedding ring on my hand, they will immediately give up the idea of chatting me up."
Song Yi asked Liu Huiying, "By the way, Xu Zhuxian and her future teammates are having vocal lessons together today. Do you want to say hello to her teammates? They will be training together in the next few years, spending every day together, just like middle school classmates."
When Liu Huiying arrived at the SM building, it was SM Entertainment's agent Zhuo Yingjun who came out to receive her visit.
Zhuo Yingjun was very surprised to see Song Yi next to Liu Huiying. He trotted to Song Yi, bowed and greeted him, "Hello, President Song! I am Zhuo Yingjun, the head of the management team of SM Entertainment. Xu Zhuxian and the others' vocal lessons are about to end."
Song Yi glanced at Zhuo Yingjun and shook his hand. "Hello, Team Leader Zhuo. Let's go up and meet Xu Zhuxian's teammates. Zhuxian's mother brought them some fruit."
"Okay, then I'll take you there. President Song, would you like me to introduce you to them?" Zhuo Yingjun asked tentatively.
"No need, I'm just a friend of Zhuxian's mother today." Song Yi ordered. Thinking of this, Song Yi even put on a mask.
SM Entertainment is divided into the 1.0 era, the 2.0 era and the 3.0 era. The 1.0 era refers to HOT, BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, and SHINee. The 2.0 era refers to EXO, Red Velvet, NCT, aespa, etc. With Lee Soo Man's resignation as the chief producer of SM Entertainment, SM Entertainment officially entered the 3.0 era in 2023. In the 3.0 era, Lee Soo Man's nephew Lee Sung Soo and Tak Young Joon served as the co-representative directors of SM Entertainment, that is, the co-CEOs. Tak Young Joon is an old man in SM Entertainment. He has served as the general manager of TVXQ, Super Junior, and Girls' Generation. No one would have thought that 20 years later, Tak Young Joon and Lee Sung Soo would actually join 208 employees of SM Entertainment to kick Lee Soo Man out of SM Entertainment.
For Song Yi, it is not a bad thing that Zhuo Yingjun is ambitious. As long as you have the determination to climb up and are willing to be used by Song Yi, then Zhuo Yingjun is a good subordinate.
Zhuo Yingjun led Liu Huiying and the others into the vocal music classroom. The vocal music teacher Zheng Chunyuan had just finished his lesson. Zhuo Yingjun walked up and nodded to Zheng Chunyuan and said a few words. Zheng Chunyuan nodded and left the classroom first.
After Zheng Chunyuan left the classroom, the six little girls in the classroom started talking non-stop as if they were just finishing school.
Zhuo Yingjun clapped his hands, and Xu Xian and the others immediately quieted down and sat down in their seats. Xu Zhuxian then saw Liu Huiying and Song Yi, and a lovely smile appeared on her face.
"Xu Zhuxian's mother is here to pick her up. She also brought some fruit for everyone. Jessica, please help distribute the fruit. Xu's mother doesn't know you yet, so please introduce yourselves briefly according to your age."
There were a total of six female trainees in the classroom, namely Lee Yeon-hee, Jessica Jung, Kim Hyo-yeon, Kwon Yuri, Choi Soo-young and Seo Ju-hyun.
Lee Yeon Hee stood up first and saluted to Mother Xu, "Hello Mother Xu, I am Lee Yeon Hee, I was born in Seoul, and I am 15 years old this year." In Korea, ages are based on the lunar calendar, so Lee Yeon Hee is actually 14 years old.
Next came Jessica Jung, "Hello, Mama Seo, I'm Jessica Jung, I'm 14 years old, born in the United States, you can call me Jessica, my specialty is singing."
Liu Huiying looked at Lee Yeon-hee and Jessica Jung, and was surprised that among the six people, two girls were as beautiful as her daughter Seo Ju-hyun.
When Kim Hyo-yeon started to introduce herself, Song Yi took a look at Kim Hyo-yeon. Among the six members of the girl group, Kim Hyo-yeon's appearance was the most average. When Zhuo Yingjun saw Song Yi's action, his heart skipped a beat, wondering if Song Yi was dissatisfied with Kim Hyo-yeon.
Kwon Yuri and Choi Sooyoung also introduced themselves one by one. Liu Huiying knew that Kwon Yuri's English name was Yuri and she was good at dancing, while Choi Sooyoung looked like a rich girl.
Mother Xu smiled kindly, "Hello, I am Xu Zhuxian's mother. After listening to the introduction, my Xu Zhuxian seems to be the youngest member of your team. She is a bit too methodical and serious in her work, so sometimes she may not be easy to get along with. I hope you can understand and tolerate her."
"If she does anything wrong, please tell me in time and I will criticize and educate her. Xu Zhuxian, you joined the company later than these sisters. You must learn from their strengths with an open mind and get along with them as classmates. Don't create conflicts. Do you understand?" Liu Huiying instructed her daughter.
Xu Zhuxian nodded in agreement. She was actually very curious why Song Yi wore a mask to visit her today. She remembered what Director Nan Zhaoying said to her: if you don't want your teammates to exclude you, try not to let them know that you know Song Yi.
Liu Huiying chatted with Xu Zhuxian's teammates for a while, and soon the families of Choi Sooyoung, Lee Yeonhee and Jessica Jung came to pick them up. Kim Hyoyeon and Kwon Yuri lived in the trainee dormitory provided by SM Entertainment.
Liu Huiying felt sorry for Kim Hyo-yeon and Quan Yuri who lived in the dormitory at such a young age, so she brought them some more fruit. Quan Yuri was about to refuse, but Song Yi spoke up, "I dare not refuse the gift given by the elders. You can't refuse the gift given by the elders. Well, go back to the dormitory and rest early!"
Kwon Yuri and Kim Hyoyeon looked at Zhuo Yingjun, who was very kind and said, "Uncle is right, go back early! Don't forget the training session tomorrow morning." Tomorrow is Saturday and there will only be half a day of training.
Xu Zhuxian happily took Liu Huiying's hand and prepared to go home with her mother. Zhuo Yingjun and Song Yi walked behind.
Zhuo Yingjun asked cautiously, "President Song, I saw you glanced at Kim Hyo-yeon just now. Do you think Kim Hyo-yeon's appearance is not outstanding enough? In fact, our company is preparing to help Kim Hyo-yeon contact the hospital for plastic surgery."
"Kim Hyoyeon has a very solid dance foundation and trains very hard. Her dancing ability is second only to Jung Yunho. If Jung Yunho makes his debut, he will be the third generation dance king of the Music Festival," said Zhuo Yingjun.
Song Yi understood what Zhuo Yingjun meant. Kim Hyoyeon was a seed trainee favored by Lee Soo Man, and was also one of the members scheduled to debut in Girls' Generation.
Although Kim Hyoyeon is not very popular in Asia, she is very popular in Europe and America. Her dance style is actually more like European and American hip-pop style, while Girls' Generation's dance has always been cute. If Kim Hyoyeon had joined YG at the beginning, her achievements would definitely not be lower than Kong Minji in 2NE1.
New Asia Media currently only holds 4.8% of SM Entertainment shares, and Song Yi does not think he can adjust the lineup of Girls' Generation. Kim Taeyeon, Lim Yoona, Huang Miying, and Sunny have not joined SM Entertainment yet, so it is meaningless to adjust the lineup of Girls' Generation too early.
Song Yi remembered that Kim Hyoyeon's plastic surgery was a failure, so he asked Zhuo Yingjun which hospital he planned to have Kim Hyoyeon go to for the surgery.
Zhuo Yingjun was a little embarrassed. It was supposed to be a company secret and he shouldn't tell Song Yi. Girl group fans actually care a lot about whether their idols have had plastic surgery. They even compare the childhood photos of the girl group members. Many agencies also use natural beauties as a publicity gimmick.
SM Entertainment has designated plastic surgery hospitals for cooperation, and the hospitals have also signed corresponding confidentiality agreements and will strictly keep all surgery-related information confidential.
Song Yi looked at Zhuo Yingjun with a high eye. Although Zhuo Yingjun wanted to cling to Song Yi, he was still able to keep the company's secrets until now. He was indeed a good employee.
"Okay, let me put it another way. There must be a template for plastic surgery, right? Which female celebrity is Kim Hyoyeon planning to follow? This can at least be revealed, right?" Song Yi said.
Zhuo Yingjun knew that he couldn't offend Song Yi, so he quickly replied, "Kim Hyo-yeon's bone age is about 1.6 meters tall. Based on her height, we plan to have her undergo plastic surgery to match Song Hye-kyo's face shape. We at SM Entertainment plan to promote her as 'Little Song Hye-kyo'."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly remembered that Song Hye Kyo was a contracted artist of New Asia Media, and was said to be Song Yi's secret lover. Now you are saying in front of the main person that SM Entertainment is preparing to create a little Song Hye Kyo. What will Song Yi, Song Hye Kyo's boss, think? Song Yi was immediately amused. SM Entertainment actually wanted to create Kim Hyo Yeon into a little Song Hye Kyo? Song Hye Kyo, who dances gracefully in the movie, is not good at dancing in real life, and is very different from Kim Hyo Yeon. Although Song Hye Kyo can't dance, her body flexibility is still very good, and she can do the splits without any problem.
Song Yi remembers that Park Ji-yeon in the Tara group was called "Little Kim Tae-hee". Now "Little Song Hye-kyo" has appeared, and perhaps in a few years there will be endless "Little Jun Ji-hyun".
Since SM Entertainment plans to make Kim Hyoyeon look like Song Hye-kyo, Song Yi cannot ignore it. Since Song Yi plans to create a more beautiful Girls' Generation and Tara, Kim Hyoyeon's plastic surgery cannot fail.
In fact, after Kim Hyo-yeon's failed plastic surgery, she had several more micro-surgeries. Even after Girls' Generation debuted, Kim Hyo-yeon still had surgery on her face. From Girls' Generation's MV, we can see that Kim Hyo-yeon's face shape has changed from 2007 to 2015.
"You talk to President Lee Soo-man. I suggest that Kim Hyoyeon go to Esan Hospital for plastic surgery. Confidentiality will definitely not be a problem. I can arrange for Song Hye-kyo to go to the hospital and let the doctor collect her facial shape data. With one-to-one real-life information, Kim Hyoyeon's plastic surgery results will definitely exceed your expectations." Song Yi made a suggestion.
Zhuo Yingjun was immediately moved when he heard Song Yi say that. He believed that Lee Soo Man would definitely agree to Song Yi's surgery plan. For the first time, Zhuo Yingjun felt that it was not a bad thing for SM Entertainment to have Song Yi as a shareholder. He didn't know why Song Yi wanted to help Kim Hyo-yeon, maybe he just liked the title of "Little Song Hye-kyo"? After all, it was rumored that Song Yi liked Song Hye-kyo very much and bought her a high-end apartment in Hannam-dong.
Zhuo Yingjun knows what is going on. When Kim Hyo-yeon becomes an adult, he will tell her who is the benefactor who helped her career. How "Little Song Hye-kyo" should repay Song Yi is a matter between Kim Hyo-yeon and Song Yi, and has nothing to do with him. Maybe "Little Song Hye-kyo" really climbed up the ladder and became a phoenix, but what Zhuo Yingjun didn't expect was that Song Yi's ambition for Girls' Generation was much greater than he imagined. Thank you for your monthly ticket support, and see you tomorrow. Because I have to work during the day, it is a bit difficult to update 5,000 words a day. If I have free time at work, I will update more.
