Chapter 51 Speaker
As the company's current senior executives entered one by one, the atmosphere in the conference room cooled to its lowest point, and no one spoke anymore.
A short while later, the meeting room door opened again.
The secretary walked in.
Everyone present knew that this was the president's secretary.
Her arrival means the new president has arrived.
Sure enough, a man in his thirties, with a gentle and refined demeanor, walked in. He walked to the head of the conference table, smiled slightly, and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Han Chengmin, and I currently serve as the president of YG Entertainment."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present stood up, applauded, and bowed.
Just then, the conference room door opened again.
Zhou Wenzhe swaggered in.
Who is this person?
Most people present had this question.
Kim Ji-soo was very anxious. Zhou Wenzhe had only just arrived, and with this attitude, wasn't this a slap in the face to the new president? What if he made things difficult for him later?
Just as she was giving him a look and about to speak up, the new president spoke first, greeting her respectfully, "Chairman-nim."
"Okay, you can continue." Zhou Wenzhe nodded and casually found an empty seat to sit down.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Especially Kim Ji-soo, who stared straight at Zhou Wenzhe with unblinking eyes, her mind blank, her slightly open mouth indicating that she was completely stunned.
The other three members of BlackPink were similar; they had all met Zhou Wenzhe and knew he was Kim Jisoo's friend.
But wasn't he supposed to be coming to YG Entertainment to become an actor? How did he suddenly become the chairman?
What kind of position is the speaker of the council?
Soon, the new president provided the answer.
"Speaker Zhou Wenzhe is the representative director of Tianyi Capital, and he will serve as the chairman of the board of directors of YG Entertainment in the future."
These words surprised everyone present even more.
By this time, Tianyi Capital was no longer an unknown entity; at least within YG Entertainment, it was a household name.
The company's largest shareholder, and an absolute majority shareholder, holding nearly 40% of the shares.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a one-man show.
Kim Ji-soo slowly came to her senses, and she realized that she seemed to have been tricked by Zhou Wenzhe.
. . .
This meeting was not only for the new president to get to know the company's artists, but also to reassure them.
Although YG Entertainment is currently facing the biggest challenge since its founding, its foundation remains. As long as these artists are still around, there is a chance to return to its peak.
During the artists' self-introductions, Zhou Wenzhe also got to know them. He was surprised that YG Entertainment's acting department had so many actors, even though some artists had other work commitments and couldn't come that day.
It seems I should consider investing in YG Entertainment actors more often in the future; it's good to keep the profits within the family.
After BlackPink finished their self-introductions, Zhou Wenzhe smiled at Kim Jisoo and winked at her, only to receive a big eye roll in return, after which she turned her head away.
Although she did it very discreetly, quite a few people still saw it, including the newly appointed president.
She actually has a connection with Zhou Wenzhe?
And they seem to have a very close relationship.
Could it be...?
After the meeting ended, Zhou Wenzhe remained seated. Shortly after everyone else had left, Kim Jisoo returned.
"Haha, I knew you'd come back." Zhou Wenzhe waved to Kim Jisoo.
"Hmph, is it fun to mess with me?" Kim Jisoo sat down next to Zhou Wenzhe, glaring at him through gritted teeth. She had been worried about him.
"I didn't trick you at all!" Zhou Wenzhe said innocently.
"You still say you didn't? Didn't you say you signed an acting contract?"
"Think again, did I say it was an acting contract?"
"Huh?" Kim Jisoo was taken aback and began to recall.
It seems he didn't actually say he was going to sign an acting contract, he just said he was going to sign a contract. And when I asked him before, he didn't say he wanted to become an actor.
That's just my opinion; I've been prejudiced against it.
"See? I didn't lie to you."
"Hmph, then why didn't you explain it to me clearly?!" Kim Jisoo was still very angry.
"If I told you I was going to become the chairman of YG Entertainment's board of directors, would you believe me?"
"This..." Before today, Kim Jisoo really wouldn't have believed it.
"Okay, stop worrying about this." Zhou Wenzhe reached out and pinched Kim Jisoo's cheek.
Just then, the conference room door opened, and Jin Zhenni and the others returned, just in time to witness this scene.
Kim Ji-soo quickly slapped Zhou Wenzhe's hand away.
This made her feel very embarrassed.
Jin Zhenni and the other two smiled, closed the conference room door, and walked over to sit next to Zhou Wenzhe.
"Speaker-nim."
"No need to be so formal, just call me by my name from now on," Zhou Wenzhe waved his hand.
"Hmm, Mooncheol oppa, was it about this when you came to the company last time?" Kim Jennie asked.
"Yes, but the last discussion didn't go very well."
"Oh, Jisoo unnie also said you were going to become an actress."
"I can't act."
"Jisoo unnie knows how; she's acted in dramas. Let her teach you one-on-one."
"Hey!" Kim Jisoo blushed instantly, glaring at Rose who was speaking.
"Really? Which TV series is it? I'll look it up and watch it."
"Don't listen to her nonsense. I only had a cameo role and didn't have many scenes."
Do you enjoy acting?
"well enough."
"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to President Han."
"No, no, please don't tell anyone." Kim Ji-soo waved her hands frantically. She didn't want anyone in the company to know about her relationship with Zhou Wenzhe.
In fact, quite a few people already know this.
"Okay, I might invest in some film and television dramas in the future. If there's a suitable script, I'll consider yours."
"You're going to invest in film and television?"
"Of course, I've received quite a few scripts recently, but I haven't had a chance to read them yet."
"Hmm." Kim Jisoo felt a little excited. She really wanted to act, but as an idol, few directors and screenwriters asked her to audition.
Although she didn't want to use Zhou Wenzhe's connections to get ahead, given the relationship between the two families and between herself and him, enjoying a little bit of privilege didn't seem like a big deal.
Moreover, with him around, I can avoid a lot of harassment.
She just wants more audition opportunities; she won't force herself to get the role.
"Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Call me if you need anything in the future." Zhou Wenzhe stood up and made a phone call gesture.
"Are you free tonight?" Kim Jisoo asked quickly.
"Is there something you need?"
"kindness."
"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done."
"it is good."
After Zhou Wenzhe left, Jin Zhenni and the others surrounded Jin Zhixiu with malicious smiles, "Unnie, you're not trying to get there first tonight, are you? Hehe."
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? I really do have something to tell him."
"I understand, I understand, it's about feelings."
"I can't be bothered with you guys."
Kim Jisoo got up and walked outside. She had just reached the door when she met her manager who had come to see her. Then, the group of them were called to the president's office.
