Chapter 312 Embarrassed Kim Young Min
Kim Young-min has a headache recently. Being caught between Pyo In-bong and Lee Soo-man, he is really uncomfortable. In fact, he knows without thinking that he should stand on Lee Soo-man's side, but now Pyo In-bong is still the president of the company, and he is still in charge of most affairs. Kim Young-min, the vice president, is very idle, so he can only devote all his energy to the group Girls' Generation, and even arrange all the publicity before the debut.
However, there were some problems in the past few days. Two trainees that the company was very optimistic about were often absent from class and came to the company less and less frequently, which made him very dissatisfied. What made him most angry was that when he asked someone to call the two little girls to come to the office, the two of them collectively ignored him. To be honest, this was the most embarrassing time for Kim Young-min since he became a senior executive of SM, so he called Jessica Jung to inquire about the situation.
However, what Jin Yingmin didn't expect was that someone suddenly brought Zheng Xiujing to him today, saying that he was his guardian and wanted to terminate his trainee contract with SM? He didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Zheng, are you sure you want Krystal Jung to terminate her trainee contract with SM?" Kim Young Min asked seriously. At the moment, he couldn't understand what the other party was thinking.
Zheng Xiuheng glanced at Jin Yingmin, who was so ordinary that she couldn't be more ordinary, and nodded. "Yes, according to the terms of the contract, I will pay Zheng Xiujing's training expenses incurred in SM in the past two years. I hope your company can calculate the amount as soon as possible. But I still have to make some things clear. If this fee exceeds the normal range, I can only seek legal help!"
"puff!"
Looking at Kim Young Min who suddenly laughed out loud, Zheng Xiuheng showed a hint of doubt.
"I'm sorry, this is so funny. Mr. Zheng looks very young, and it's funny to hear you say this. If you really want to sue, Mr. Zheng will probably lose more money in lawyer fees. After all, suing SM is not a problem that can be solved in the short term!"
Kim Young Min's smile was obviously a mockery. Zheng Xiuheng looked at Kim Young Min's smile and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Jin Yingmin took a breath and said, "Mr. Zheng, the termination of the contract is not a special matter, but before that, you need to explain the reason, so that we can judge the circumstances of Zheng Xiujing's termination of the contract, instead of you saying the termination and then starting the formalities!"
Kim Young-min has also seen many trainees who came to the company to terminate their contracts. Most of them were let go directly, and only a few were persuaded to stay. As long as they were not potential trainees that the company had been paying attention to, they would generally be let go, but the prerequisite was that the other party had the means to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
However, this is the first time I have encountered someone who confidently said he would pay the training fees and also said he would sue.
"Is it funny?"
"Huh?" Kim Young-min looked at Zheng Xiuheng in confusion and didn't react.
Zheng Xiuheng slowly opened his narrowed eyes, staring at Jin Yingmin with eyes as calm as a dead person, and asked indifferently: "I ask you, is it funny?"
Kim Young-min's whole body froze, simply because he was frightened by Zheng Xiuheng's eyes. Although it was only a momentary feeling, it made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But when he came to his senses, he was a little angry. After all, being frightened by a young man and questioned, Jin Yingmin felt that this was a great loss of face.
"Mr. Zheng, you didn't seem to use honorifics just now . That's very rude. Also, as Krystal's guardian, shouldn't you be better at choosing her future? She is a trainee that the company is very optimistic about. She has appeared in commercials and has shot magazines. She will make her debut sooner or later if she stays in SM. Her sister is an important member of SM's upcoming girl group. If she knew about this news, she would definitely be very concerned, right? To be honest, I doubt who you are. I know Krystal's family situation very well. It seems that she doesn't have a brother!"
Kim Young Min said a lot, among which he mentioned Jessica Jung. Although it sounded reasonable, the meaning was already very clear. He didn't believe Zheng Xiuheng and was going to call Jessica Jung over.
Zheng Xiuheng had expected this situation, so he replied: "I don't need to prove to you whether he is her brother or not. If you have any doubts, I can show you the guardian's certificate. In addition, it's useless even if you ask Zheng Xiuyan to come over, because this matter is an established fact. In addition, Vice President Jin Yingmin, you have been very uncomfortable in SM recently, right?"
Jin Yingmin's face darkened and he said coldly, "What do you mean? Mr. Zheng doesn't look like a simple guardian!"
"That has nothing to do with you. As far as I know, Vice President Kim Young-min was still the acting director some time ago, and he was a person who could compete with the president in the company. But after Lee Soo-man returned, his position became awkward. Of course, maybe it was because Vice President Kim Young-min asked the former president named Kim Kyung-wook to take away several trainees. You don't have many shares in SM, so you have no weight in the shareholders' meeting..."
"Bang!"
"Enough, who are you?" Kim Young-min slammed the table, widened his eyes, and looked at Zheng Xiuheng fiercely, but his heart was like a raging storm, and he seemed to be shocked by Zheng Xiuheng's words.
Seeing Kim Young Min's appearance, Zheng Xiuheng was very satisfied. In fact, just like the lines in Li Bai's "Song of the Wine", the saying "I was born to be useful" is indeed true, even if many people look no different from scum.
Jin Guanglu and others kept an eye on SM for quite some time, especially Jin Jingxu. There was a period of time when they basically kept an eye on him around the clock. By that time, Zheng Xiuheng had already learned a lot of information.
After Zheng Xiuheng decided to bring his sister to his own company, he asked people to continue the investigation, but not to investigate SM and Kim Young Min, but directly to investigate Kim Kyung Wook.
The person who did this was Lin Dazhong, a lazy guy who liked to play games or stay at home besides the beauties. Relying on his good face and the help of Han's mother, he got a lot of inside information from Jin Jingxu during this period.
But it's not seduction or anything like that, because Kim Kyung-wook is in a very difficult situation right now. He didn't get any investment and is basically using his own savings. The company hasn't even launched any artists yet and is already in a financial crisis.
Moreover, the two older trainees he sent out were eaten up, and it was eaten up in vain. Those two older trainees are not easy to deal with. If Jin Jingxu cannot arrange for them to debut, he will give them money... If he can't do both things, then they will die together.
As a result, Jin Jingxu went out to get drunk more often during this period, and soon a lot of his secrets were revealed.
In fact, Kim Kyung-wook could never have imagined that he had been targeted since a very early time, so let alone being on guard, this guy was already full of resentment, not only towards Lee Soo-man, but also towards Fang Shirong who had betrayed him.
But the only pity is that most of the secrets he spilled out were of no use. At most, he cursed Lee Soo Man and SM more, and then he was asked about some specific situations.
It was only during this period that Zheng Xiuheng realized that it was Park Injeong who was favored in the first place, which led to the subsequent events. In addition, Pyo Inbong and Kim Youngmin were both insiders. Zheng Xiuheng also had the video of this drunken conversation, which was indeed an unexpected gain for Zheng Xiuheng.
However, Zheng Xiuheng does not want to use these things to deal with people like Kim Young Min. After all... he is not familiar with Lee Soo Man, and of course he cannot help Lee Soo Man speed up his return and regain control of SM.
"I'm nobody, don't be so sensitive. I have no interest in you, nor in SM. Knowing these things is just a surprise. If you still want me to tell you the reason, all I can say is that I really don't have much confidence in a company that can send trainees out as a transaction and even support the former president to engage in flesh trade to attract investment, so I want to terminate the contract!"
"How about it? Are you satisfied with this reason?" Zheng Xiuheng smiled at Jin Yingmin for the first time, with a hint of contempt.
Jin Yingmin's face turned dark , but he still managed to reply, "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about. I can sue you for defamation for such unfounded words. Mr. Zheng, please explain your intentions now!"
"Haha, you can try to sue me to see if there is no basis for it and whether it is defamation!"
Zheng Xiuheng smiled naturally and his eyes were casual, but when Jin Yingmin saw it, his heart sank .
In fact, as Zheng Xiuheng said, his position is indeed very awkward. Without SM's non-circulating shares, he has no say at the shareholders' meeting, so until now, he needs to take sides.
In reality, shareholders like Pyo In Bong and Lee Soo Man who hold a large number of shares will still have their shares even if something goes wrong. Even if they temporarily lose power, they can still control the company by supporting their own faction's subordinates.
But for a chess piece like me, if I fail once, depending on the severity of the failure, it is possible that I will be kicked out as trash.
However, Zheng Xiuheng didn't know that Jin Yingmin was really not interested in stocks and shareholders. What he cared about were some practical things...
At this moment, Jin Youngmin felt extremely regretful. She should not have been tempted by Pyo In Bong's words. Just because of the position of president... now she was caught by someone.
Jin Yingmin didn't dare to gamble. Since Zheng Xiuheng could tell such a secret, unless he really didn't want a future, Jin Yingmin could only... remain silent.
In response to Kim Young Min's silence, Zheng Xiuheng took complete initiative, and there is a saying that goes - "Pushing the limit".
"In fact, in addition to Krystal Jung's contract termination, Choi Sulli is also going to terminate her contract with SM. I have already confirmed this with her parents!"
Kim Young Min was once again stunned by Zheng Xiuheng and didn't even know what to say. In this situation, because of a wrong decision in the past, his future was affected. Perhaps this is what is called "one misstep leads to eternal regret."
“Crack!”
"Yingmin, are you meeting guests?"
The door at the back was suddenly opened, and a deep male voice sounded. With his back to the door, Zheng Xiuheng looked at Jin Yingmin's suddenly changed expression and instantly thought of who the person was. After all, there were only two people in SM who could directly open the door of the vice president's office.
