Chapter 3555 Preparation for taking office
"Secretary? Why didn't I know you had a secretary?" Kim Taeyeon asked curiously.
She was not pretending to be confused, she really thought that there was such a position beside Li Menglong.
Thinking about it, it is understandable that Li Menglong wears many hats and does need help from others.
Logically speaking, he should be introduced to them. After all, the most important job in Li Menglong's hands is undoubtedly their agent.
Kim Taeyeon's rhetorical question made Lee Mongryong confused.
He was just trying to be clever. Kim Taeyeon should have understood immediately. Why did he look so confused?
It was the girls on the side who took the initiative to break the misunderstanding. It was not because they were kind, but because they couldn't see their captain being stupid.
Kim Taeyeon represents their face to a certain extent. If the captain is so stupid, how can the team members be smart?
And when Kim Taeyeon realized that this so-called secretary was Seohyun, she was on the verge of breaking out.
She was indeed a little confused. After all, the previous topic was closely related to her. Although it was not that she was scared, it did have a certain impact.
But this is not the reason why Li Menglong can fool her wantonly, let alone fabricate the identity of a secretary to fool her.
Shan said that he asked her to go to Xu Xian to make an appointment, because he didn't want her to have an easy time with Kim Taeyeon.
When he thinks of himself standing in front of Xu Xian, I guess Xu Xian will be quite surprised, right? Or are you just trying your best to hold back your smile?
In short, that scene was beyond Kim Taeyeon's imagination, and it was impossible for her to do it!
So there was nothing more to say. It was best for Li Menglong to give her an accurate answer now.
If he insists on having his own way, then Kim Taeyeon will have to use necessary means to fight back.
Don't think that there is only one agent in the circle, Li Menglong. Those who want to work with them will win a lot!
Although many people may not be as good as Lee Meng Yong, judging from Kim Taeyeon's current popularity, the requirements for agents are not that high.
As for the network part, Kim Taeyeon has already managed everything by herself; as for the business part, as a mature artist who has been in the industry for many years, she does not need the help of an agent.
It can be said that her biggest requirement for her agent is trust, which means that she can have no worries in front of him.
You can't think twice before speaking in front of your agent, right? Are you afraid that the other party will secretly record it and blackmail her?
It’s not like things like this have never happened before. Many artists have fallen into the hands of their managers and assistants.
At this point, Li Menglong is much more reassuring.
Kim Taeyeon is not just being herself, she is simply letting herself go.
If another agent comes over, can Kim Taeyeon block her in the room and threaten her because of work?
Therefore, it is impossible to break up. Even if Li Menglong is very willing, Kim Taeyeon will not let him go.
It's just a threat now. It's better for Li Menglong to have some basic emotional intelligence and not agree to it excitedly.
That would only embarrass each other. The correct choice should be to refuse, and make sure that you have no second thoughts and want to provide better services to Kim Taeyeon wholeheartedly.
If you say so, then the result will naturally be happy for everyone.
But how could Li Menglong be so considerate and blindly obey their wishes? Is that still him?
Li Menglong chose to respond directly: "Do you think being your agent is easy? If you really think so, then try it yourself!"
I have to say that after Li Menglong spent time with girls, he was somewhat affected, and his emotional intelligence actually increased a lot.
According to his original character, he would probably respond according to Kim Taeyeon's wishes, but now he still knows how to take a roundabout way.
Originally, the girls around him were planning to come and try to persuade them, at least not to let the two of them really get into a fight.
But now it seems that there is no need for them to dispatch. Li Menglong's proposal is relatively mild.
Now it depends on Kim Taeyeon's choice. Will she choose to take a step back or face the difficulties?
The girls seemed to be given different choices, but when it really fell on Kim Taeyeon, there was actually only one way in front of her.
As their captain, how could Kim Taeyeon choose to back down?
Now we can take a step back, but what if Li Menglong takes advantage of it? Where can she keep retreating to?
"Humph, our agent? He can tie a dog!" Kim Taeyeon responded tit-for-tat: "You think you are working hard? In fact, that is our own influence. Don't mistake the platform for your ability!"< br>
Although Kim Taeyeon's words were too harsh and even distorted the truth to a certain extent, they did make some sense.
At least half of the jobs Li Menglong gave them came to them on his own initiative. This can't be regarded as his credit, right?
Although he also put in a lot of work in the later stage, such as screening, negotiating costs, determining the script, etc.
But the most core factor is undoubtedly the girls themselves, or in other words, they are the ones who actually work, while Li Menglong just plays drums from the sidelines.
However, Li Menglong will not admit this. The value of his work is reflected in places that these women cannot detect!
Since we can't reach an agreement, let's proceed as proposed before. Li Menglong gave up his manager's job for a few days to see how Kim Taeyeon can handle it.
After reaching an agreement, it seemed that there was no need to continue the confrontation.
Li Menglong felt that if he said any more words, he would "endanger the enemy", while Kim Taeyeon wanted to go back and unify her thoughts.
Although she said it was easy before, she generally recognized Li Menglong's work performance.
If managers are said to be of no use, as artists they may be the first to object.
After all, among the staff around them, the money paid to the agent is the most, so it can't be useless at all, right?
If this is true, are all artists fools?
But now it is meaningless to say this. Kim Taeyeon will use her actual actions to make Li Menglong feel ashamed.
It's not that the agent has no role, but she, Kim Taeyeon, is perfectly qualified for the job. Li Menglong had better not brag about himself in front of her in the future.
In order to accomplish this, Kim Taeyeon urgently needs the help of these women.
In her understanding, if the work of an agent is simply divided, it can probably be divided into two parts: internal and external.
In the perception of ordinary fans, most of the work of an agent is external, that is, contacting commercial performances, approaching jobs, etc.
But as an artist herself, Kim Taeyeon can responsibly say that the internal part is more important than the external part, and that can be equal to the external part.
How to get along with artists, how to communicate with them, and how to manage them are all areas where problems can easily arise.
It would be okay if he was a newcomer. Firstly, he was still young, and secondly, he was not well-known. The agent could handle the problem relatively easily. But once an artist becomes more famous, the manager has a lot to think about.
Especially for new agents who have not had the experience of growing up together through thick and thin, they are likely to be a little aggrieved.
Is it just Kim Taeyeon who needs to think about this?
As a soon-to-be manager, she gave a domineering speech: "Listen up, you'd better be honest in the next few days. I, Kim Taeyeon, have very hungry fists!"< br>
Before the manager even took office, he started threatening the artist directly.
I have to say that Kim Taeyeon's appearance was quite "successful", at least the girls were deeply impressed.
When they were newcomers, they would probably have to admit that they were unlucky when they encountered such a manager.
But now that I have achieved success, I never expected that I would still suffer the same grievances.
Even though they were reluctant in their hearts, at least there was no emotion shown on their faces.
They even took the initiative to cooperate and express their support for Kim Taeyeon's appointment and believed that she would lead everyone to another peak.
In response to this obvious compliment, Kim Taeyeon not only did not refuse, but actually agreed to it so carelessly.
Is she sure she can do this?
With the girls' current size, it is almost impossible to take another step forward.
Because in the market they can occupy, they have already achieved the ultimate.
So unless they expand the market, they have no room for improvement.
To achieve this, it cannot be achieved by the girls' efforts alone. It requires the cooperation of the entire industry, and even the embodiment of the will of the country.
In short, Kim Taeyeon is bragging at this moment, and the girls are sure of this.
But they can't expose Kim Taeyeon's lies, otherwise will they have to fight with Kim Taeyeon now?
In fact, it's not impossible. After all, there are many of them. No matter how powerful Kim Taeyeon is in fighting, she can't defeat four people with just one fist.
It's just that Kim Taeyeon will take office soon. If she offends her, she might get revenge.
Many methods may be difficult for even Lee Menglong to use, but Kim Taeyeon has no such scruples.
In this case, the girls could only choose to swallow their anger. They even wanted to have a good chat with Li Menglong.
Don't let private conflicts affect your work status. This is unprofessional!
Especially since this job is closely related to them, are you sure Kim Taeyeon can really do it?
The girls were really worried, especially after seeing Kim Taeyeon's crazy state before taking office.
Once she remains in the same state at work, they all will suffer in the end.
After all, after the work is done, it is all of them who need to go to work in the end.
To be honest, they are not afraid of Kim Taeyeon being lazy or seeking benefits for herself.
If possible, they would rather Kim Taeyeon be selfish and take all the work on herself.
By the way, this is something that normal people should worry about. Even though they usually shout out to each other, but in the face of their own interests, can they still take care of these teammates?
But based on their understanding of Kim Taeyeon, she really couldn't do such a thing.
Even if they accept activities, most of them will be in the name of their collective, which is exactly what the girls want to refuse.
So after a brief discussion, they also made their demands to Kim Taeyeon.
Their request is very simple, mainly because they are afraid that if it is too complicated, it will overload Kim Taeyeon, and they will refuse it directly.
"That is to say, we should accept single-person activities as much as possible. Is my understanding correct?" Kim Taeyeon concluded.
She didn't really understand the girls' requests, but she still respected them.
It just so happens that Li Menglong can see her abilities. Don't always think that finding a job for them is difficult.
Seeing Kim Taeyeon as if she had been given a shot of blood, the girls couldn't let go of their mental arithmetic. There might be more than one person suffering from insomnia tonight.
The reason why they say this is mainly because they are betting on luck!
In other words, spread the work that Kim Taeyeon takes over to everyone as much as possible. Maybe there will be lucky people who can be lazy all the time.
Correspondingly, some unlucky people will have a lot more work, which will test everyone's luck!
Speaking from personal experience, girls don’t really believe in luck.
To be precise, they believe that hard work is closely related to luck. Instead of pinning their hopes on illusory luck, it is better to influence it through hard work.
So while there was still some time before going to bed, they began to sort out their recent work arrangements.
It has been a long time since they were so focused on their work. The last time was probably when they had just become famous?
In recent years, they have become very Buddhist. As long as Li Menglong doesn't come to inform them, they won't be a little anxious even if they take a month's rest.
This confidence comes from their awareness of their popularity, which of course also includes the balance lying on their accounts.
But that's not possible today. They really want to keep themselves "busy", at least in Kim Taeyeon's eyes, they have no free time.
The first person to come to meet Kim Taeyeon was Yoona. As the person with the most personal schedules in the team, she did have reason to be anxious.
After all, it’s not easy to get her involved in activities. Whether it’s endorsements, variety shows, or even hosting events, Yoona has no problem.
Yoona is really too versatile. This was a label she was quite proud of in the past, but now she wants to tear it off.
She was really afraid that Kim Taeyeon would take on a lot of activities for her. Putting aside other considerations, she, Lin Yoona, couldn't bear the level of fatigue.
So taking the daily arrangement she had just sorted out, Yoona explained it to Kim Taeyeon diligently.
According to Yoona herself, she will have almost no time to rest in the next few days, and even sleep must be planned in advance.
It's just that although Kim Taeyeon has never been an agent, she is no stranger to this industry.
There is obviously something wrong with Yoona's formation. Kim Taeyeon pointed to one of the items and asked, "What is the content of this shooting? How can it be possible to shoot for a whole day? How much money did the other party give, and do you need such cooperation?"
Faced with Kim Taeyeon's question, Yoona blinked innocently: "Isn't this what you taught me? You have to be serious and cooperative when it comes to work, and you must do your best. Good reputation and reputation are the key to an artist's success. Have you forgotten the basics of it? ”
