Chapter 70 Handkerchief
A young girl's secrets
?
Zhou Wenzhe was completely puzzled.
What kind of mission is this? At this moment, he felt like swearing again, but he didn't dare to be too unruly because of the system's punishment.
The task description is simply: "Listen to the girl's troubles and help her resolve them. (90-day time limit)"
This is too ambiguous. Who knows what's on her mind, or what the standard for resolution would be?
Reward: Increase intimacy with the girl by 5 points, and gain 100 gold coins.
Mission failed: -10 Free Intimacy Points, -1 Random Skill.
Damn, is this the kind of reward?
Why did he take on this mission?
However, upon seeing the punishment for failing the mission, Zhou Wenzhe finally couldn't help but swear.
This time, however, the system didn't shock him, which suggests that it knew the rewards and punishments for this task were completely disproportionate.
The free intimacy points are fine; he can always earn them by completing tasks later. But the random -1 skill penalty is terrifying. What if it gets reduced to the god-tier skill he just acquired? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for him?
In other words, he has to do this task, and he has to complete it.
Is this girl that important?
Zhou Wenzhe took another serious look at the girl in front of him, who looked to be only 17 or 8 years old.
He's not bad looking, but he's not quite as good-looking as his girlfriends and confidantes. His figure is also decent, a bit better than his girlfriends and confidantes.
The girl was startled by Zhou Wenzhe's gaze and took two steps back.
"Are you a trainee at SM Entertainment?"
The girl nodded and asked in return, "You too?"
"No, what's your name?"
"My name is Liu Zhimin."
Why are you crying here?
"It's nothing, who are you?" Because of Zhou Wenzhe's kindness, Liu Zhimin hadn't been very wary of him, but now that she heard his questions, she started to become more cautious.
"I am the new director of SM Entertainment, my name is Zhou Wenzhe."
When Liu Zhimin heard the young man, who was only a few years older than her, claim to be a director of the company, she pursed her lips, not believing it at all, thinking to herself that this person probably really thought she was an ignorant girl.
He's a director, so I'm the president.
Seeing Liu Zhimin's reaction, Zhou Wenzhe smiled. He knew that most people wouldn't believe him, so he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.
Liu Zhimin took the business card and looked at it.
Tianyi Capital, Chairman: Zhou Wenzhe.
Is it true?
This is... unbelievable.
"Director-nim, hello." Liu Zhimin quickly bowed and greeted him.
"Now can you tell me why you're crying here? Did you suffer some injustice?" If it weren't for the system forcing him, Zhou Wenzhe wouldn't bother with this matter.
"That's right...that's right..."
The girl hesitated, and just as she was about to speak, several people walked out of the company.
Zhou Wenzhe turned his head and saw several boys.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Liu Zhimin immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle: "Hello, senior."
The boys glanced at Liu Zhimin and then at Zhou Wenzhe, made no comment, and prepared to leave.
"Hey, I'm telling you, aren't you guys being incredibly rude?" Zhou Wenzhe said to them, his face showing displeasure.
Upon hearing this, the boys all stopped and looked at Zhou Wenzhe.
Because they didn't know each other, they didn't respond at all; some even looked disdainful and contemptuous.
"What, do I have to call President Kim Young-min over here to teach you what manners are?"
As soon as Zhou Wenzhe said this, the expressions of the boys immediately changed. Who was this man, who was about the same age as them, who could call the club president by his full name?
Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be putting on airs. Could he really be someone important?
Just then, another person walked in through the entrance and exit of the parking lot.
Upon seeing this person, the boys and Liu Zhimin all bowed and greeted him politely: "Teacher-nim."
This person is none other than Lee Soo-man, the founder and largest shareholder of SM Entertainment, a prominent figure in the Korean entertainment industry, and considered the founder of today's Korean entertainment idol industry.
Lee Soo-man ignored the artists and walked towards Zhou Wenzhe with a smile, "Director Zhou, I thought you had already left."
"Hello, Director Li."
The two shook hands.
Although Lee Soo-man holds 18.7% of SM Entertainment's shares, he has never served as SM's president, CEO, or representative director since the company's founding. Instead, he has always served as SM's art director and chief producer.
Hearing their conversation, the boys and Liu Zhimin were stunned and looked completely at a loss.
He's actually a company director!
Is he really a director of the company?!
"What's going on?" Lee Soo-man looked at the boys and then at Yoo Ji-min.
"Who are they...?" Zhou Wenzhe pointed to the boys. He already knew they were EXO, a boy group under SM Entertainment, but he didn't know who these boys were.
"You didn't introduce yourselves?" Lee Soo-man glared at the boys.
He was very tight-lipped about Zhou Wenzhe, as this young man not only had a powerful background but was also ruthless in his methods.
Others might not know the inside story, but he knew it all too well. Yang Xianshuo was the one who got him arrested, and he had no ability to resist at all.
He received information that Yang Xianshuo would almost certainly be sentenced to imprisonment and would have to go to jail.
"Hello, Director-nim, I am Kim Junmyeon, the leader of EXO." Kim Junmyeon bowed and greeted him.
Led by the team leader, the others also introduced themselves. Zhou Wenzhe didn't expect that one of them was Kim Jenny's boyfriend, Kim Jong-in, whose stage name is KAI.
After they finished greeting each other, Lee Soo-man looked at Yoo Jimin and asked, "Are you a trainee?"
"Yes, teacher, I joined the company the year before last. My name is Liu Zhimin."
Lee Soo-man nodded. He vaguely remembered seeing this girl before. Then he looked at Zhou Wenzhe and asked, "Director Zhou, do you know her?"
"I don't know him. We just happened to run into each other here."
"Is that so?" Lee Soo-man expressed his doubt. As far as he knew, Zhou Wenzhe was not very old, at most 6 or 7 years younger than this girl. It was perfectly normal for him to want to get to know her because she was pretty.
"Director Li, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"OK."
After shaking hands with Lee Soo-man, Zhou Wenzhe smiled at Yoo Ji-min and said, "If you want to return the handkerchief, just give me a call."
He then turned and walked towards his car.
Get in the car and start the engine.
After he left, Lee Soo-man looked sternly at the EXO members and asked in a serious tone, "What just happened?"
"Teacher, we don't know Director Zhou, so we didn't greet him just now," Kim Junmyeon explained.
"Is that so?" Lee Soo-man looked at Yoo Ji-min.
Liu Zhimin nodded. Actually, she felt that Zhou Wenzhe was standing up for her.
"Alright, you can go now. Apologize properly to him next time you see him." Lee Soo-man waved his hand. Although Zhou Wenzhe held less than 5% of SM's shares, he could already influence the company's board of directors' decisions.
Moreover, he was aware that Tianyi Capital had invested in several entertainment companies, with SM Entertainment holding the smallest stake.
"Yes."
Kim Junmyeon left with several members.
Today was a completely unexpected disaster for them, and they didn't know why Zhou Wenzhe seemed to be targeting them.
After the EXO members left, Lee Soo-man looked at Yoo Jimin and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened just now?"
