Chapter 61 First Salary

"I was serious."

Han Yi's expression was extremely serious.

"You've done a lot during this time, Yujin, I've noticed it all. In Fogo de Cho before, I said I'm waiting for your letter of intent. It's not just a formality. Only through full consultation can we cooperate for a long time."

"I know, I don't think you are perfunctory to me."

Zhao Youzhen bit her lip and lowered her voice.

"I have also seriously considered this issue, but I feel...Compared with you, I have nothing now, and I really don't know how to ask you to ask conditions. So for so long, I have been doing things seriously , I hope to talk about these issues after I can show you my value."

"but now……"

Having said that, the girl shook her head and laughed.

"Salary, share, these things don't seem to be important anymore."

"Why?" Han Yi frowned and asked.

"Because it's really fun."

Zhao Youzhen met Han Yi's questioning gaze, and faced his sincerity frankly and bravely.

"The Primary School Affiliated to Dongjak Middle School, the Affiliated Middle School Affiliated to Ewha Womans University, Daewon High School of Foreign Languages, and then I went to UCLA to study political science. From birth to now, I have basically never made my own choices... In Korea, as a girl , especially for a girl from a family like mine, the so-called freedom is really too extravagant."

"At least... after the first year of high school, your father respected your decision, didn't he?" Han Yi comforted, "You said you wanted to go to high school in the United States, and he let you come."

"I insisted on leaving and didn't want to continue living under his control and shadow. At first he objected fiercely, and even told me that as long as I dared to take a step out of Seoul, he would let me disappear directly into the Han River... Yes, this It's what a father said."

Maybe it's because of thinking about it too many times. When describing this experience to Han Yi, Zhao Youzhen not only remained expressionless, but even lost the most basic tone fluctuations.

"But in the end, his colleagues in the law firm persuaded him...not because he was nice to me. The uncle said, 'Girls who graduated from prestigious American schools will pay more when they marry. Yuzhen is so good-looking , coupled with a prestigious school education, it is not impossible to be called Chief Kim at that time."

"What does that sentence in Korean... mean?"

"'In-laws'."

Zhao Youzhen looked at Han Yi with a calm smile.

The experience with Xiao Xu... seems quite similar.

Xu Yiru's parents hoped that she would fly on a branch to become a phoenix and become the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family in Baodao, while Zhao Youzhen's father wanted her to be a bargaining chip in his path to power.

It doesn't matter what your daughter reads, the key is to make her more valuable.

"How do you know this?" Han Yi sighed softly and asked, "Your father told you?"

"Why would he tell me this? It turns out that the senior partner of the Seoul office of Milbank Law Firm and now the head of the International Cooperation Team of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, how can he have time to talk to his family." Zhao Youzhen raised his head and dragged on In a tone of voice, "Ah—I can't help but say some embarrassing things today. The reason I know it is because I was kneeling and sitting by the side."

"Mom is here too."

"What does she think?"

"Where does she have ideas." Zhao Youzhen murmured almost dreamily, "If there are guests present, my mother and I must eat in the kitchen. Even if she has ideas, it doesn't matter at all."

This is a sentence that is completely unacceptable no matter what angle you look at, and you can't even find a way to comfort it.Han Yi could only nod silently to show that he was listening carefully.

Many parts of East Asia still retain such bad habits, especially South Korea.Park Jae-woo told Han Yi that his mother and younger sister were never allowed to eat at home.

"So, that's why you went to Marlborough School, isn't it?"

"Yeah, the United States is such a dangerous place, how can our family Yujin be polluted. Go to the girls' school where Charlie Munger's children are all studying, spend two or three years in peace, and get into a good university , Get the hell out of here and get married after reading this."

"My life has already been reserved for the son of the Attorney General, or a higher-ranking son than him."

"Marry, marry, marry."

Hearing this, Han Yi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"From childhood to adulthood, thousands of days and nights, all emotions, thoughts, goals and dreams are jokes. To live is to make powerful people look up and move their minds."

From this point of view, Xiaoru's situation is better than Yuzhen's.

At least, Xu Yiru's mother really wanted her daughter to be happy by marrying into a wealthy family.Regardless of whether the values ​​are distorted or not, at least she loves her daughter.

But with Zhao Yongzhe, Han Yi not only can't see emotion, he doesn't even have any residual warmth of family affection.

His daughter is only worthy of being a ladder for him to climb up.

"So, there is absolutely no way for me to go back to Korea."

Zhao Youzhen's eyes were not focused, as if he was explaining to Han Yi, or confessing to himself.

"I am not a person who can often feel positive emotions. In fact, most of the time, I am extremely pessimistic to the point of paranoia. I believe you can also see it. When I see a beautiful bird flying in the sky, I will Imagine it being plucked and imprisoned in a cage."

"I haven't had even half a minute of true freedom, but during the time I was with you... doing things together, I experienced respect for the first time. I finally knew what it was like to be treated as an equal, to be told that you What is it like to think that your thoughts are important. What is it like to be encouraged to pursue your dreams bravely."

"I told you, Yi. I didn't want to be in music because of the sheer love of it...I wanted to be in this industry because this art form is really simple, it's just sound."

"I like simplicity, I don't like complexity, and I try my best to stay away from complexity. If I can lose my eyesight, I don't have to see the dirty things in the world, but I can only hear beautiful music, and let the romantic imagination become belonging from the melody. My own real world is also a very good thing for me.”

"Also, as a Korean, if you want to make something in the United States, in my opinion, making music should be the most promising. I... I don't want to go back, but I'm really proud of my country , I think we're creating something awesome that all of humanity will love."

"I stayed in the United States not just to escape him. I wanted to prove to him that he was wrong and I was right."

Speaking of this, Zhao Youzhen had to pause, and took a few deep breaths before barely suppressing the choking up in his chest.

"I, Zhao Youzhen, don't need any relatives."

"I myself am an adult."

"So, I hope that what we are doing now can continue. Even if I don't get a penny, it doesn't matter to me. I just want it to last and let me learn something seriously."

"If money is going to get in the way of its continued existence, then I'd rather not. I don't want to take that risk."

The voice fell, and the office fell into a dead silence.

Han Yi didn't answer, but just stared at the girl.

Zhao Youzhen felt that his gaze seemed to be penetrating, directly piercing the soft skin and fragile camouflage, directly questioning the soul that no one had ever touched.

"I thought you were a very confident girl."

I don't know how long it took before Han Yi, who folded his hands on his chest, laughed out loud.

"I... I'm very confident."

Zhao Youzhen subconsciously straightened her waist, her neck tensed up.

"No." Han Yi shook his head, "You know it yourself. A truly confident person will not feel that pursuing what she wants and deserves means she has to give up something...Think about what I said, do you agree? ?”

"you……"

The girl's expression froze, but it didn't take long before she breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on her face.

"you're right."

"I'm a coward."

"But don't blame me." Zhao Youzhen squeezed his earlobe, and blinked charmingly, "Until now, everything I got was sacrificed. This is the reality I'm used to."

Han Yi smiled and nodded, but did not answer.He could see Zhao Youzhen's deep-seated inferiority complex beneath his proud appearance. Apart from his father's suppression and neglect since he was a child, there was also the systematic discrimination from the entire South Korean society when he was a little older.Yuzhen has been fighting against these pressures all her life. At the beginning, overeating and becoming a chubby girl was a kind of struggle, and then the crazy weight loss that cost her life was another kind of struggle.

It's not that Zhao Youzhen doesn't want share and salary, it's because she has no self-confidence in her bones.Especially in front of trusted people, girls will shed their inferiority complex and show it to the fullest.

in other words.

Yoo Jin is desperate for approval, but from the start, she feels like she doesn't deserve it.

Many daughters of rich families have everything, but find a bad partner to ruin the rest of their lives.Most people think that they are living too comfortably and want to pour some exciting additives into their lives.

But in fact, many girls are just like Yuzhen. Although they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, they are constantly reminded that these things do not really belong to them at all.

I give you a golden spoon so that you can learn how to get a more dazzling one.

If it continues to develop like the previous life, will Xu Yiru also activate the self-destruct mode?

God knows.

Han Yi only knew how difficult it was to heal this kind of scar.The most intuitive and effective way is to expose her inner hesitation bloodily, and then give him the most equal and respectful reward with tenderness.

"The annual salary is 15 U.S. dollars, and the commission is [-]% of the gross profit of the artists under management. The signing bonus is [-] U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to half a month's salary. The position...is a partner manager under the management." Han Yi intentionally Put on a straight face and try to be as cold as possible, "Zhao Youzhen, according to your current qualifications, I have no way to give you shares directly. Of course, if you make achievements later, I will reserve a certain share for you... now I list Things are considered relatively favorable conditions."

"If you are willing to cooperate, I can transfer the signing bonus to you now. If you feel that the conditions are not in line with your wishes, then I am sorry..."

Han Yi patted the table lightly, pretending to have an indifferent expression and tone.

"I can only wish you the best of luck in your future career."

"So fierce, Han Yi."

Zhao Youzhen said this, but there was no trace of complaint in his tone, instead there was a surge of joy.

"Then... the signing fee will be called first." Zhao Youzhen spread his hands and said with a smile, "I agree."

"I'm too anxious." Han Yi couldn't play a bad boss, and within a few minutes, he couldn't hold back his smile.While opening the instant transfer software Venmo, he transferred 3500 dollars to Yuzhen, who had already added a friend in New York, and muttered, "Which pair of shoes are you looking at?"

"I want to treat you to dinner."

Zhao Youzhen picked up the phone and read the recorded text message over and over again.For her, three thousand and five hundred dollars could not even buy the coat hanging on the chair, but Yu Zhen cherished it so much.

Because this number means that a beautiful, pure future that she opened on tiptoe is beckoning not far away.

"Let's go."

Youzhen stood up with her hands on her hips, looking like a kitten who just came back from hunting and put the mouse in front of its owner.

"Xiannong soup, my treat."

"With my first salary."
