Chapter 199 Why did you choose us? (ask for monthly ticket)
Girls' Generation Apartment, Seoul.
"Why are you lying here again?"
Kim Taeyeon, who had just returned from a commercial performance, looked at Sunny lying on the sofa with a very strange look.
After all, when I set out, Sunny was already lying here. Now that I'm back, she is still here, without any change.
"Has she been lying here all day without getting up?"
Sunny, who was lying on the sofa playing games, did not intend to get up after hearing Kim Taeyeon's voice. She just tilted her head, moved her eyes away from the game console, glanced at Kim Taeyeon and asked back.
"Where else can I go if I don't lie here? I don't have as many schedules as you do."
"Then you don't have to lie here all day, right? You can go find Huang Xu?"
"He has returned home."
"Then you can also go to the gym? Didn't you say that you wanted to exercise more?"
"I'm too tired to move."
"Then you can also go shopping with friends?"
Kim Taeyeon looked at Sunny, who was lying motionless on the sofa, concentrating on playing games, and gave suggestions helplessly.
In response to Kim Taeyeon's suggestion, Sunny rolled her eyes again.
"And then get chased and photographed by paparazzi?"
"That"
Kim Taeyeon wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Sunny.
She put down the game console in her hand, sat up straight and looked at Kim Taeyeon, obviously a little surprised by her behavior just now.
"What's wrong with you today? Is there something wrong?"
"No? I'm fine?"
Kim Taeyeon looked as if she had been discovered. She immediately showed an embarrassed expression on her face and wanted to escape from here. She said to Sunny:
"Isn't this a way of caring about you?"
"Well, you continue playing. I'll go back and change my clothes."
After saying that, he walked directly towards the bedroom.
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon's hurried escape and a look of curiosity appeared on her face.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Why are you so weird today?"
"Did something happen to her today?"
"."
Sunny, who was curious about Kim Taeyeon's abnormal behavior, threw the game console in her hand aside, picked up the mobile phone next to her, and started checking the group messages to see if she could find any clues.
She had been in the dormitory all day and was already a little bored from playing games.
After all, compared to her past, she is now used to playing games with others instead of playing alone.
She had been playing games in the dormitory for a few days and was already getting a little bored.
So after seeing Kim Taeyeon's abnormal behavior, he became curious and began to investigate.
But she searched for a long time and didn't find anything strange.
There was nothing special about either the internal group chat of their group or the work-related messages.
After searching for a long time, she could only put down her phone in disappointment and sat on the sofa, ready to wait for Kim Taeyeon to come out and interrogate her directly to see if she could get the answer.
What she didn't expect was that more than half an hour had passed while she was waiting.
It was not until Sunny’s patience was almost exhausted that she saw Kim Taeyeon, who had changed her clothes and removed her makeup, walking out of the bedroom.
So after she came out, Sunny stared at her intently, trying to figure out what had happened to her.
After watching her for a few minutes, I still couldn't see anything from her.
However, after Kim Taeyeon came out, Sunny kept staring at her, which made her feel a little uneasy. So she turned her head and looked at Sunny who was staring at her on the sofa and asked.
"Is there something wrong with me? Keep an eye on me."
"Yes, there is something wrong with you."
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon, stood up from the sofa, and began to look her up and down, as if she had really discovered something.
At this time, Kim Taeyeon was completely frightened by Sunny's actions.
He also began to check himself, trying to find anything wrong.
It’s a pity that after looking for a long time, I didn’t find anything wrong.
At this time, Sunny circled around Kim Taeyeon for a few times, and after not finding anything, she decided to continue asking questions to see if she could trick her into giving her something.
But before she could speak, Kim Taeyeon had already regained her composure from Sunny's gaze and said directly to Sunny:
"Okay, stop looking. Everything about me is normal. There's nothing strange about it."
"Don't you think your behavior is strange?"
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon who had calmed down, but she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to extort something out of her.
Unfortunately, after calming down, Kim Taeyeon's IQ has returned to normal. Faced with the curious Sunny, she directly started to shift the blame.
"Don't say my behavior is weird. The one behaving the weirdest right now should be Xiu Yan."
"???"
"Haven't you noticed that Xiuyan's behavior has been rather strange lately?"
Looking at Sunny's puzzled expression, Kim Taeyeon thought that Sunny had taken the bait, so she began to explain to Sunny about Jessica Jung's abnormal behavior during this period.
At this time, Sunny didn't care about the strange things on Kim Taeyeon, but listened to Kim Taeyeon talking about Jessica Jung.
She has been keeping an eye on Jessica Jung ever since she noticed her abnormal behavior last time and Huang Xu analyzed it for her.
Want to discover her secret.
But after a few days, she still found nothing.
Of course, it was mainly because the time was short and she had no chance to meet Jessica Jung, so how could she discover anything?
Moreover, some of Jessica Jung’s current actions have just begun, and outsiders can’t see anything, so basically no one knows about it.
Only the members of the group knew that Jessica Jung was not very keen on attending events these days.
Therefore, it can be said that she gained nothing in the past few days.
But what Huang Xu said kept lingering in her mind, and as time passed, she became more and more convinced that what Huang Xu said might very well become reality.
Therefore, she had been keeping this matter in her heart for the past few days, with no one to talk to.
And now that Kim Taeyeon also brought up this matter, she felt like she had found her backbone and was ready to exchange information with her.
After all, Kim Taeyeon is the captain of the group. With her around, I don't have to fight this alone.
It would be good for her to have someone to talk to.
So after Kim Taeyeon finished her story, she directly told Kim Taeyeon all the information she had collected in the past few days and the guess made by Huang Xu.
After finishing speaking, Sunny seemed to be relieved and relaxed immediately. However, Sunny was relieved, but now it was Kim Taeyeon's turn to be dumbfounded.
She was just thinking of finding something to divert Sunny's attention so that she would stop asking her questions.
As a result, there is now an even bigger mess.
Jessica Jung's current partner has become "disloyal".
So she looked at Sunny in a bit of a daze.
"Is this true or false?"
"."
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon who was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. It was obvious that this was the first time she knew about this situation. Then why did she tell herself about the abnormality of Jessica Jung just now?
"Don't you know?"
"I do not know?"
"I thought you knew? Otherwise, why would you come to me and tell me this?"
"I"
Kim Taeyeon looked at Sunny in dumbfoundedness, obviously not knowing how to explain. There was shock and dullness in her eyes, with no intention of hiding it at all.
She didn't expect that she just wanted to find a topic to divert Sunny's attention, but ended up finding out such explosive news.
And this news comes from my own group and my own teammates.
How could she accept this?
After all, if this matter really developed as Huang Xu said, it would be a big deal.
It can even be said that this incident is a big deal for the entire Korean entertainment industry.
Of course, the impact on their group is even greater.
Although she was shocked, she is the captain of Girls' Generation after all. In the past few years since her debut, she has experienced all kinds of ups and downs.
So after being stunned for a while, she slowly calmed down and then looked at Sunny.
"Sunny, let's deal with this matter now..."
Just as Kim Taeyeon and Sunny were discussing how to deal with the Jessica Jung issue, on the other side of Seoul, inside the CCM agency.
Kim Kwang-soo sat in his office, looking at several figures in the conference room not far away, with a hint of helplessness in his expression.
After all, although those figures were wearing casual clothes, it was still possible to tell that they were soldiers, and active service soldiers at that.
He received a call from Kim Tae-woo this morning, saying that they were coming to his company for an inspection.
His first reaction was to reject the inspection.
After all, he is still investigating James' identity, and has not yet figured out his origins and purpose.
As a result, Kim Tae-woo's call this time was just to inform him, not to discuss, and left him no room to refuse.
Then at noon, a few hours after receiving the call, his company welcomed several Americans who were dressed in casual clothes but were obviously soldiers.
That's why Kim Kwang-soo looks so helpless now.
After all, in his opinion, the other party was just not satisfied with his progress and came to urge him to come.
And bringing these people out is also to show him their strength, so that he can face the reality and accept his fate sooner.
Indeed, not long after the people James brought with him showed up, he found out the identities of them through his connections.
Several of them are officers at the U.S. military base in South Korea, and one of them is a captain, which makes him one of the more powerful officers in the garrison.
Therefore, when he looked at the identities of these people, he seemed so helpless.
The other party has told me his identity and given me time to verify it, and even reserved a lot of time for me to find connections.
I just want to make myself face the reality.
So after making a few phone calls, he just half-lay down in his chair and fell into deep thought.
After all, although those phone calls didn't allow him to get any information, his quick act of hanging up the phone after hearing the identities of these people made him face the reality.
So after thinking for a moment, he got up and went to the meeting room.
He bowed to James, who was surrounded by several people, and continued:
"Mr. James, I'll ask you to take care of the company from now on."
"rest assured."
James looked at Kim Kwang-soo in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and gave his assurance.
"The company will definitely get better and better, and after a while, you will realize how lucky you are for making this choice."
After that, he chatted for a few more words, then he slowly walked out of the meeting room and left CCM with the people he brought with him.
His mission has been completed, and the remaining details will need to be discussed by Kim Tae-woo and Kim Kwang-soo.
He took a few people and drove towards Itaewon not far away, ready to thank them for their help.
A few minutes later, only Kim Tae-woo and Kim Kwang-soo were left to discuss the acquisition details of CCM Economic Entertainment.
Of course, the focus of this negotiation is how much the acquisition of CCM is worth.
Yes, it is to acquire CCM.
Although both Huang Xu and Kim Tae-woo had the idea of acquiring shares in CCM before, they did not necessarily want to acquire it.
But after seeing James and his friends, Kim Kwang-soo was afraid that he would be kicked out and end up with nothing, so he directly chose the option of being acquired.
He just put the money in his pocket and was done with it.
After all, it is not uncommon for small company bosses like him to be kicked out after being spotted by large companies or chaebols and investing in them.
And the end of most of these companies is that the original bosses are kicked out or even end up with nothing.
He was afraid that this would happen to him, so he chose to be acquired directly, so that he could be kicked out in time and he would still have a large amount of funds to use for his retirement or to make a comeback.
That's why he made such a choice.
However, when negotiating the price with Kim Tae-woo, he still had a question in his heart that was not resolved.
That's James and others. Why would they be interested in his company?
After all, although his company has a long history and a certain reputation, it is, in the final analysis, just a small company.
There are many better options on the market.
He had always thought that in addition to his own company, James Kim Tae-woo and his other companies would also be acquired, just like the CJ Group, which acquired several companies and then integrated them.
As a result, from what Kim Tae-woo said just now, they are not acquiring shares in other companies yet, only their own.
So after communicating with Kim Tae-woo for a long time, he looked at Kim Tae-woo and asked about his inner doubts.
“Why did you choose us?”
"Why did I choose you?"
Kim Tae-woo did not answer Kim Kwang-soo's question, but repeated his question again and said mysteriously:
"You'll know in a few days."
I have something tonight, so I updated early. I will continue to update tomorrow, the weekend. Please support me by voting for the minimum monthly ticket.
