Chapter 156: The Tyrant's Spur
Since then, the agent has often falsely reported EXO's album sales and the expenses of the members and assistant teams in the name of Kim Young-min.
Part of the money went into Kim Young-min's own pocket, and the other part was swallowed up by this agent.
After Lee Hyun-chul drove away Kim Young-min, Lee so-man sent the employees of Kim Young-min's faction to the frontier for various reasons, and now only the EXO agent is left without asking.
It just so happened that Song Ki-fan reminded Li Xiuman to remember it again.
"Let's get started. ”
Li Xiuman lit a cigar and exhaled a thick smoke, and the public relations department was completely busy for a while.
The sound of the keyboard, the sound of the telephone, became the S. M treats the punishment of runaway artists with a new number.
Unless it is a peaceful breakup, for those who suddenly stand up and stab the company, the methods of the brokerage company are very different.
Falling in love, getting drunk, fighting, and so on.
It seems to be reported by the media, but it is actually a scene directed by the brokerage company behind it.
However, Li Xiuman did the opposite this time, and he did not target Kris alone.
As Lee Hyun-cheol told him during that time, S.. The internal system of M has decayed, like a dynasty that is on the wane.
Want to make S.. M rises, it is necessary to clean up the moths that destroy the company, because of the existence of those people, S. M is already riddled with holes.
A few minutes later, a report titled "EXO member Kris Oh formally filed a ruling with the Gangnam-gu District Court in Seoul a few days ago, asking for a ruling on S. The contract between Party M and its own individual party is invalid. The news suddenly appeared on a website.
In less than ten minutes, the number of comments exceeded 2,000, causing the website's server to be paralyzed.
Kris alone dominated the top five search lists of Naver, "EXO, Kris quits the group", "EXO discord", "Kris sues S.. M Slave Contract" and other news made the originally calm showbiz like a volcanic eruption.
Many people who are playing with computers or mobile phones have pop-ups at this moment.
The expected EXO fans are gearing up to flock to S.. The official website of M and the members' INS messages are surprisingly unified.
"Where did Kris go?"
only to find that all the official or private social media accounts about EXO had turned off the comment function at the same time.
One by one, orders came out of the public relations department, and one after another the phone calls of the directors of a certain company were picked up and hung up by Li Xiuman.
"The EXO incident caused the company's stock price to fall, Director Li, how do you explain this matter?"
"I've asked the people on the manager's team to temporarily move into EXO's dormitory, whether it's going to the toilet or eating, and keep an eye on them all the time. ”
"Hopefully, we don't want the impact of the Han Geng incident to expand to EXO again. ”
Pinching the phone hard, Li Xiuman rolled his eyes, "A group of fools, after so many years, they haven't found out what the fuse of the Han Geng incident is." ”
"President, the members of EXO have arrived at the president's office. ”
"Everyone's here, isn't it?"
"Yes. ”
Li Xiuman nodded, explained some things and left the public relations department.
Da... Da... Da...
Coming out of the public relations department, a group of people followed Li Xiuman towards the way back.
Layer after layer, from the stairwell to the corridor on the ground, multiple pairs of leather shoes and the ground were knocked on the ground, causing passing employees and artists to bow their heads.
No one wants to bump into Li Xiuman who is in a "rage" at this time.
"President. ”
At the door of the office, EXO's agent lowered his hands and stepped forward to help Li Xiuman push the door open.
Inside the room, eleven boys with makeup on their faces knelt on the ground, as if they had been called back halfway, and they didn't even have time to remove their makeup.
"Teacher nim~"
Li Xiu raised a hand expressionlessly and gently stroked it on everyone's head.
"Min-seok ......"
"Teacher nim~"
Being named, Xiumin raised his head, and the next moment a heavy slap slapped him in the face.
Syllable......
One palm went down, and then another palm, but the beaten one was replaced by the person next to him.
Syllable......
From Xiumin to SUHO, the faces of the two quickly swollen.
But he just instinctively twitched his face, using this way to relieve the hot pain.
These two people, one is the eldest brother and the other is the captain.
"Do you know why I hit you?"
Shaking his somewhat numb palm, Li Xiuman gritted his teeth and whispered.
"I'm sorry teacher nim, I didn't look favorably on Kris. ”
The two of them knelt on the ground, with an expression of "honest repentance and recognition of mistakes", but for Li Xiuman, who knew the inside story, it was extremely ironic.
glanced at Song Ki-beom, only to see that the other party took a laptop from the staff who followed him, holding the bottom with one hand and tapping on the keyboard with the other.
"That's how you're optimistic about Kris? Min-seok, who gave you the power?
Ever since you were announced that you would be debut as a teammate, I've had people tell you that you have to keep the team in harmony! Harmony, what do you think of what I, the president, say?
Even if Kris wants to talk to the company about his personal development, what are you doing? You think you're in it for the group, so you hit him, you stimulate him, and now he's gone, and all the mess is going to take care of it!"
Li Xiuman put the notebook on the ground and pointed to the picture on it and asked.
Just like in school exams, to prevent students from cheating, schools place cameras in the corners of classrooms that are only turned on during major exams.
S.. Many of M's practice rooms also have cameras, which show the last time Kris confronts Xiumin before he leaves.
The crisp slaps, the conversations between the members, and the actions are all clearly visible.
Even when there was a conflict in private, few people stepped forward to fight, so the behavior of these people in Li Xiuman's office was not strange.
After watching this surveillance video, it is no wonder that Li Xiuman is so angry, plus the somewhat noisy mobile phone recording provided by Zheng Yunhao before.
"I'm sorry teacher Nim, I know it's wrong, and I have to bear all the consequences. ”
Eleven people looked at the computer screen with pale faces, and there was a chilling feeling that they were being monitored by the company all the time.
They thought that even if some juniors knew about the events of that day, they would have wisely chosen to forget them, even if the agent was not there at the time.
But......
The methods of brokerage companies are always endless, and it is difficult to guard against.
"Commitment? Do you want to say that you will quit EXO from now on? How do you bear the tens of billions of losses lost by the company because of his termination?"
Disappointment, in addition to anger, Li Xiuman's heart was occupied by a thick disappointment.
EXO completely replicated the miracle of Super Junior, and its ability to attract money is incomparable to the current boy group, but the cracks in this combination are also exposed at this moment.
There was no affection between the members, the two eldest brothers were disciplined, and the other members were all shrunken turtles.
