The three of them fought on the office desk and moved to the inner lounge. After more than an hour, the two "Yans" leaned on his shoulders to rest.
"You seem especially excited today."
Park Soyeon said lazily, "I haven't seen you so brave in a while. It can't be because of the summer heat, right?"
"It's because there's good news."
Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "There's going to be a meeting in the afternoon from SM. The project I've been planning can finally be started."
For the past month, Tang Jinyan had been busy, but he had also been waiting.
Among the things that he had been waiting for, one of them finally came to fruition. Moreover, it was something that Tang Jinyan had been particularly concerned about recently.
The results of the discussion on the mobile game were finally out. SM decided to try out Tang Jinyan's idea.
Actually, a few days ago, the S * M Group had already decided that this matter was very promising. The main reason why they had discussed it for so long was because the S * M Group could not take the lead in this matter. If they really wanted to do it, they could only let Tang Jinyan do it.
Some people in SM were very unwilling to do it. After all kinds of research and discussion, they had no choice but to involve Tang Jinyan. That was why it had taken so long.
This was also why Tang Jinyan was confident enough to let SM do the research on the project. He knew that no one else could do it.
Not to mention other things, this project couldn't be done without CJ Entertainment and Xincun Entertainment's huge foundation. How could SM do it?
Tang Jinyan, who owned Xincun Entertainment and had the support of CJ Entertainment, had shares in both the TV station and the Ministry of Culture, and had the backing of the ruling party, was the one who could really take charge of this project.
Tang Jinyan was confident that no one could take advantage of him on this project, not even Li Jianxi.
The most important point was that this project had something to do with Pusan.
Tang Jinyan hadn't forgotten that Lee Kang-hwan had called to mediate a deal between JYP and CUBE.
From this, it could be seen that no matter how deep the relationship between these two companies and Lee Kang-hwan was, whether it was creating profits, money laundering, or other unspeakable things, in short, they were very valuable to Lee Kang-hwan.
If this mobile game could really operate according to his plan, JYP and CUBE would definitely want to participate. They might even be able to use this opportunity to manipulate Lee Kang-hwan. At the very least, Hyomin would be able to return home safely without being harassed. Small matters like this could always be discussed.
Therefore, he was in a particularly good mood.
He was in a good mood, and so were Park Soyeon and Park Ji-yeon. The three of them stayed together for a while before reluctantly getting up for lunch.
The New Village Group now had a big cafeteria. The employees and trainees all ate there, and it was overcrowded every day.
The three of them went to the cafeteria. It was already quite late, and there were a lot fewer people there. When they saw Tang Jinyan enter with his wife's group, the employees all smiled and saluted. The atmosphere was more casual.
Tang Jinyan had always been a person who liked to joke and could afford to joke. He never liked to talk about Korean etiquette. The old members of the New Village Group were very familiar with this. After this month, even the newcomers understood that this terrifying boss who was rumored to be able to eat human flesh was actually not scary at all. Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to their daily etiquette.
In this casual atmosphere, the two rows of girls who meticulously bowed at ninety degrees were particularly abrupt. "Hello, President Tang. Hello, T-ara seniors."
Tang Jinyan, Park Soyeon, and Park Ji-yeon looked at each other. For a moment, they were a little confused. After a few seconds, they remembered that the company now had a new girl group … The harshness of the entertainment industry made these girls not dare to be as casual as the employees.
"You're EXID."
Tang Jinyan pointed to the five girls on his left, and then to the four on his right. "You're BESTIE, right?"
Tang Jinyan's way of identifying them was as follows: The new girl group BESTIE, which was just released in July, had four members, and EXID, which debuted last year, had five members.
Well, this was how the president of a corporation identified the girl group under his company. It was quite irresponsible.
Even if it was so irresponsible, the girls were happy that he could recognize them.
The girls smiled happily and said in unison, "We're EXIDBESTie."
Tang Jinyan also asked with concern, "After debuting, artists rarely come back to the company cafeteria to eat. Were you practicing today?"
"Uh …" The nine girls looked at each other awkwardly and didn't know how to answer.
Park Soyeon quietly tugged at Tang Jinyan's clothes. Tang Jinyan suddenly realized.
EXID was a flop now, and Xinsha Cave Tiger was still making new plans for them. They didn't even plan a comeback album.
On the other hand, BESTIE had just debuted, and their debut couldn't be considered successful.
What was so strange about these two groups eating and living in the company? This question was simply asking why they didn't eat minced meat.
Tang Jinyan laughed awkwardly. "Good luck."
The nine girls bowed in unison. "We'll work hard."
After turning around and leaving, Tang Jinyan's smile slowly faded. He lowered his head and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Park Soyeon whispered, "What's wrong?"
"Uh … nothing."
Tang Jinyan smiled. "It's just that I suddenly realized that I shouldn't be as indifferent to the success or failure of the artists as before. If they fail, it's our company's fault for not managing them well.
Since they're under my company, I have the responsibility to make them do better. "
Park Soyeon and Park Ji-yeon looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes.
He was really different from others.
When other companies created idols, they treated them as products. If they failed, they might blame the idols themselves for not being able to make money for the company.
In his heart, the company had to be responsible for their future because they were people.
Not only were they people, but they were also people who needed to be loyal and protected.
He wasn't a soft-hearted person, but his sense of responsibility and loyalty were very strong.
Perhaps it was because he had never really been involved in the entertainment industry, so his view of the industry was always a little different from those in the industry. He subconsciously treated these artists as his subordinates.
No matter which it was, as an idol, he could empathize and feel very touched when he heard it.
Even the two girls were touched by his relationship with them. The nine girls who heard a few words behind their backs were even more touched. They even wanted to cry.
The original company was a triad company. What kind of quality did those people have? They were already very kind if they didn't beat or scold you. How could they hear such heartwarming words?
They originally thought that the Xincun faction that unified the triad was even more evil. As the boss, Tang Jinyan, was evil. But now, it seemed like he was in heaven.
