Chapter 16 Causes and Consequences
After the waiter left, Huang Xu looked at Park Zhaoyan's face and asked with concern:
"Did something happen to you just now while you were sitting there? Are you still feeling unwell?"
The other person can be regarded as his idol after all.
If he develops according to the original timeline, one year after arriving in Korea, he will gradually become familiar with the life here, and slowly begin to like some of the idol teams here.
Although he said he liked it, he only went to watch performances occasionally.
And I am not considered a fan, but the kind of person who watches every team.
But even so, Tara can still be regarded as her idol.
The most important thing is that the other party is Sunny's friend, so he thought of taking Park So Yeon out for dinner and asking her what happened.
If you are just worried about something, then you can be a person to talk to and let her vent.
If it was something else, he was ready to see if he could help.
As a result, he thought a lot, and even thought about whether they had encountered a "conglomerate" or something.
Unexpectedly, Park So Yeon said directly, "The company does not want to pay the full rental deposit for this house."
"????"
Huang Xu was stunned at this time.
The deposit for renting his house is not expensive, and now there are discounts for full-rent deposit loans, and the interest is even more cost-effective than renting directly.
After all, their company is considered a reputable person, but why can't they even pay the rent deposit now?
Just when he was trying to figure out what the problem was, Park Zhaoyan across from him looked at Huang Xu's face, stood up and bowed.
"I'm sorry, landlord Xi, we don't want this either. Please give us a little more grace and we will get the deposit together as soon as possible."
Although the place where the two of them were sitting was in a relatively remote corner, no one usually noticed it.
But her act of bowing and apologizing directly diverted the attention of several tables of guests.
Huang Xu was so frightened that he quickly pushed Park So Yeon to the chair and said:
"Be careful, it won't be good if you are discovered by others soon. I have no problem, but what about you?"
Park Zhaoyan was reminded of Huang Xu's words and immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Based on their current reputation, if something happens again, it will be really difficult for them to find a place in Korea.
So after sitting down, he quickly lowered his head.
"No one saw it, right?"
"It's okay, just don't turn your head, they can't see your face."
The two of them were seated in the corner, and the diners could only see Park So-yeon's back, but not who she was.
Seeing that Park Zhaoyan had already sat down, they no longer paid attention to this place.
"What is going on in your company?"
Huang Xu still feels a little unclear about their company's practices.
They are also a popular girl group now. Although they are currently in the stage of nationwide online violence, as long as they explain this matter clearly, they will still be a cash cow when the limelight passes. How can they not even be willing to pay the rent?
"I'm not sure now. I've negotiated with the company several times, but the answer is the same every time."
Then Park So-yeon also told Huang Xu the situation of her several negotiations, hoping to get Huang Xu's understanding and give them a period of grace.
After Huang Xu listened, he slowly remembered some things from his memory.
Tara's current agency is CoreContentsMedia, and its founder is Kim Kwang-soo, a famous black-hearted boss in Korean entertainment.
He founded GM Project at the end of the last century, and several popular artists have appeared under it, among which the more famous ones include Turbo and Cao Chengmo.
Needless to say, Jo Sung-mo can be said to be a well-known love song god in Korea.
The group Turbo does not seem to be famous now, but that is just because the era is too old. At that time, it was also a fairly well-known group.
At the same time, one of the members is Triple Crown winner Kim Jong Kook. Later, the company was renamed to CoreContentsMedia, and will also be renamed to MBK Entertainment next year.
Huang Xu is not too concerned about the company's development.
What he really cares about is his reputation.
Kim Kwang-soo's reputation is not very good in the Korean entertainment industry. Although he has many well-known artists under his name, scandals such as his lack of planning skills and internal oppression within the company have never stopped.
There were even rumors of imprisoning artists.
After their artists established a foothold, they terminated their contracts or even disbanded.
Thinking of this, Huang Xu also slowly understood why Tara and the others were in such a passive situation.
At the same time, I also understood why Liu Huaying has been biting their team now.
To put it bluntly, it was forced by the company.
Liu Huaying's family situation is good, and her family also has some connections with the government.
This is also the reason why she can directly join Tara in the fire.
She never thought that although the team had joined, not everyone could stick to the schedule here.
After all, it is well known that Kim Kwang Soo exploits artists.
For example, Turbo, where Kim Jong Kook is located, had more than ten itineraries per day in its heyday.
He was often so tired that he was hospitalized and passed out.
There are also various forms of violent treatment, including imprisonment in the basement, beatings and other evil deeds.
As a popular girl group at the moment, Tara naturally has a lot of schedule.
Tara and her friends often fainted from exhaustion. Even during a concert in Japan, their nose bones were broken by lighting fixtures, but they still had to finish the performance.
It often happens that I can't get out of the firing line even if I'm slightly injured, or I still have to continue performing even if I get injured.
According to Huang Xu's guess, Liu Huaying simply quit the group because she couldn't stand it. At the same time, she began to use her family connections to crazily smear them.
After thinking about this, Huang Xu also understood why Park Soyeon and her company were now unwilling to pay the house deposit.
But this made Huang Xu a little embarrassed.
They want to make money by renting out a house. If they don't pay for the rent, or they can't pay the deposit for the full rental, then their subsequent plans will be a little difficult.
But looking at the pitiful Park So-yeon, he couldn't say anything cruel to make them move away.
After all, these little girls are so pitiful now.
They can be said to be just scapegoats who were pushed out.
So Huang Xu is very confused now.
On one side is his own plan, on the other side is his idol from his previous life, and she was still a cute little girl.
It was difficult for him to decide for a moment what to do.
"Forget it, let's eat first. Let's discuss it later and see what we should do."
