Chapter 238 Termination

, President's Office.

Li Xiuman held a cup of tea in his hand, but he had not moved for a long time. His eyes were staring at the computer screen without blinking.

Suddenly knocking on the door, remembered that Li Xiuman put down the teacup, sorted out a slightly stiff expression, and said, "Please come in."

Director Park walked in, stood in front of the table, and lowered his head in shame.

"Sorry, the president, the incident happened suddenly, and the dispatch party suddenly broke the news without saying hello. We were caught off guard, but please rest assured, the Public Relations Department will handle this matter well, and we have contacted the media..."

Lee Soo-man looked at Director Park and sighed, "Cancel it."

"Ah?" Director Park was stunned and asked with confirmation: "President, what do you mean?"

"Cancel it, follow the old methods before, and destroy all the materials prepared." Li Xiuman leaned on the back of the chair, slowly closed his eyes, and said, "Bai Baekhyun, this kid, is lucky. If he meets a noble person, just forget it."

Director Park looked at Lee Soo-man carefully and was shocked. As the "apprentice" brought by Lee Soo-man himself, he knew Lee Soo-man's personality very well. Lee Soo-man has an extremely tough personality and never compromises easily. What kind of noble man can make him give up so simply, and the tone of his speech was even a little frustrated.

Director Park's heart was almost filled with question marks, but seeing Lee Soo-man's appearance, he didn't dare to ask. He hesitated for a moment and said, "President, if Bian Baekhyun withdraws, then exo..."

Director Park didn't finish his words, but Lee Soo-man could understand the meaning. He wanted to say that if Bian Baekhyun quits the exo again, the exo combination would be in name only.

Exo's development has not been smooth in recent years. Starting from Wu Yifan, all Chinese members terminated their contracts one after another. After no foreign members, Exo looked back under the guise of "pure blood", and its popularity soared in South Korea. But the good times did not last long, and Exo has only seven people left. At the end of 2016, the cold rice of Captain Suho's "pro-Japanese faction" was exposed and hyped. Under the pressure of public opinion, Suho had to leave the entertainment industry and serve in the army. By the beginning of 2017, there were only six members of the exo. If Bian Baekhyun terminated the contract, Exo would only have five people left, and only Chen, the lead singer, would have to face the embarrassing dilemma of singing endlessly. A twelve-person group has reached this point, which can basically be considered unsustainable.

Li Xiuman is also upset about this matter. Although Exo is in a dilemma, its ability to attract money cannot be underestimated. The top three artist combinations are stable. If Exo is really disbanded, the fans' reactions Li Xiuman doesn't care. He cares about the shareholders' thoughts and the stock market's reactions. To put it bluntly, money will be imagined. If Exo is really disbanded, you can imagine how the situation will be. There will definitely be no fewer people who take advantage of the situation. This year is the year of election. At such a sensitive time, you must be wary of the open gun and cold arrows all the time. If someone seizes the opportunity, the consequences will be unimaginable... but it is not impossible to collapse.

Director Park was waiting aside, and saw Lee Soo-man falling into deep thoughts, standing aside with his head down and silent. He had thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare to show off in front of Lee Soo-man.

Li Xiuman pondered for a long time and said, "A planner is the theme of 'farewell tour'. Starting from Japan, China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States, there are so many games to schedule. The plan is a bit sad, saying that Exo must serve together after saying goodbye to the farewell tour to fulfill its responsibilities as a man."

"But the members may not necessarily agree..." Before Director Park finished his words, he was interrupted by Lee Soo-man and said: "They don't need their consent. The contract is still there. What the company says what they do, tell them what I mean. If you have any ideas, you can go to the court to apply for termination."

After hearing what Lee Soo-man said, Director Park stopped saying anything and said, "I know how to do it."

Lee Soo-man waved his hand, and Director Park bowed and withdrew. Suddenly, Lee Soo-man thought of something again, called Director Park and said, "How is the matter with TTS? Their attitude is still so firm?"

"There is no news yet, but they have met Lawyer Zhao. Lawyer Zhao has given hints as you want. I believe Taeyeon will contact me in the past few days. She should understand that there is no second choice except compromise."

Li Xiuman thought for a while and said coldly: "Do you deal with this matter as soon as possible. If it really doesn't work, use Xia Yan as a bargaining chip to talk to her. You can hint that if she doesn't renew her contract, Xia Yan will be hidden by the company. I want to see if she is really that stubborn."

Director Park was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "I know what to do."

—————

The Korean driving test adopts the "as you can take the exam" method. Each person has a computer and calculates the time from entering the examination system, with a limited time of one hour.

An hour sounds short, but given that there are only 30 multiple-choice questions, if you know how to answer, this time is more than enough. The test questions are divided into three points, two points, three points, five points, and eighty points. It seems that it is easy, and it seems that you can pass the four or five questions smoothly, but the actual situation is not like this. There are often cases where the written test takes three or four times, and even if you pass it once, there are very few people who reach 90 points. Therefore, although you can submit the paper in advance, there are not many people who do this. Occasionally, most of them give up the exam.

Seeing that Liu Yi came out in less than ten minutes, Sunny took it for granted that he had given up on the exam.

"It's okay, even a genius can't pass it after only half an hour of study. Let's go home and work hard and come to take the exam another day." Sunny did not laugh at Liu Yi. What people need most at this time is encouragement.

"What, I passed." Liu Yishen handed the form in his hand to Sunny, and the scores of 97 were displayed in the written test column. The bright red stamp was stamped on it.

Sunny was stunned and confirmed several times with the form. It was indeed 97 points. Sunny suddenly felt that he was not good at using his brain. She looked at Liu Yi and couldn't figure out how he did it. Could he be really a legendary genius?

"Oh, I could have scored a lot, but one question had a slippery hand, and the answer was b, and the hand slipped a little and turned into c. Oh, regret, regret..." Liu Yi hugged Sunny's shoulder and enjoyed her admiring gaze. Sunny pouted and said nothing, just let him be proud. 97 points, I really can't say anything.

Sunny returned the form to Liu Yi and said, "Oppa, you really need to get a driver's license in one day. The skills test is not something that is good at scheming. It's better to practice hard for a few days before taking the exam."

"It won't take a few days. We'll go to practice now. The exam will take two hours later. After the exam, we still have time to have lunch." Liu Yi was overwhelmed with confidence. He pulled Sunny to the skill examination application office.

Sunny pulled Liu Yi hard and advised: "You should think about it. I believe you are a genius, but the skill test is really not that easy. You have never driven a car. How could you pass it in two hours?"

"Oh, I haven't driven a car, but I've driven a tractor. At that time, in order to build a pigpen, I drove a tractor to pull bricks every day. They all had four wheels, and I think it should be the same. Just let me try it. It's nothing if I fail, right?" Liu Yi picked up Sunny and ran to the application office for the skills exam. Sunny buried his head in Liu Yi's arms, and was shy in his heart, so he forgot to persuade him. It's true that as Liu Yi said, at worst, he failed, and there was no loss. He could continue the exam in three days.

Two and a half hours later.

"Exam No. 138, Liu Yi, passed."

Sunny pouted and watched Liu Yi walk over proudly, twisting his body over with anger.

"What's wrong? Are I unhappy after passing the exam?" Liu Yi hugged Sunny's neck from behind and pressed his whole body against her.

"I know how to drive, but I deliberately said I can't. Is it that fun that day?" Sunny snorted, pinched Liu Yi's arm, and said, "I'm not honest at all!"

"Wife, I'm so kind, I really haven't driven a car." Liu Yi quickly explained, seeing that Sunny didn't believe it, he said, "Think about it, can I still apply for the exam if I have driven a car? The registration place must say that I already have a Chinese driver's license and no longer need to take the exam."

"Um..." Sunny thought for a while, and that's true. China and South Korea acknowledge the validity of their driver's licenses. If Liu Yi passed the driver's license in China, he would not be able to apply for the exam in South Korea.

Could it be that he is really a driving genius? Sunny looked at Liu Yi carefully and couldn't feel where his genius was. A good written test score can be understood as a good mind. After all, he was a scientist, so it was normal to pass the exam. But the skills test has nothing to do with his mind. Why did he pass it so quickly?

"Why do you look at me like this? Do I look like an alien?"

"Yeah!" Sunny nodded seriously. She now understands what her father said. Her boyfriend is so powerful that he will indeed bring pressure. It's really strange. Why did he do everything well? It makes people feel proud, and Sunny thought happily.

"There is another subject, are you going to take the exam today?" Sunny said with some embarrassment: "I may not be able to accompany you until so late. I will go to work at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"It's okay, I can handle it myself. Believe me, I'm a genius." After Liu Yi said arrogantly, his cell phone suddenly rang and a text message came. Liu Yi took a look and showed a helpless expression.

"What's wrong?" Sunny asked curiously.

"It seems that I have been busy today, and I have something to do." (To be continued...)
