From that Korean city

Earlier, when Lin Yi was taking Lin Yoona and others to shoot something in the suburbs, Jessica, who had rested all day long, appeared here in the S.M company office building.

A knitted cardigan with a black chest underneath looked very sexy and attracted the attention of many company employees.

When Jessica walked to the elevator, she happened to bump into the figure emerging from the stairwell.

After seeing Jessica, the figure immediately asked a little strangely, "Ah, Jessica, why are you coming here so late?"

"Oppa, why are you in the company so late?"

Looking at Kim Heechul, the big star of the universe, Jessica was also a little curious.

"I stopped by to pick up something. Donghai is outside and will go to SBS later. As for you, aren't you preparing for a world tour?"

Kim Heechul was asked the question in reply, and then looked at the sister in front of him with whom he had a very good relationship.

Jessica's answer made him narrow his eyes slightly.

"I was called here by the room chief."

"Is everything okay?"

The caring greeting made Jessica smile warmly and shake her head, "It's okay, oppa, I didn't do anything, I guess I just chatted."

Jin Heechul rolled his eyes, how could the senior management have so much time to chat with you?

So he took out his phone and looked at the time. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and stood next to Jessica, "Let's go, I'll go up with you to take a look. There's still enough time."

"Oppa, it's not like I just debuted, so there's no need. Donghai Oppa is also waiting for you outside. Come on, don't keep him waiting."

Jin Heechul's concern made Jessica laugh, and she was a little dumbfounded even though she was happy, so she quickly added.

"Besides, it's time for the world tour now, so there won't be any problems, so you can go and do your work. I'll treat you to dinner after I come back from this performance, and we'll talk about it then."

After staring at Jessica for a while, Jin Heechul chose to trust this kind of sister who had never worried him a few times. He nodded and rubbed her head like he did when he was a trainee.

Jessica, who had always avoided the oppa's noisy gestures in the past, stood still this time and allowed Kim Heechul to mess up a few strands of her newly arranged hair.

Then he looked at Jin Heechul's leaving figure. After being silent for a long time, he turned around and opened the elevator.

A few minutes later, she arrived at the door of the room director's office, knocked on the door, pushed it open and walked in.

In the office, Director Jin, who was looking at documents, raised his head and glanced at the figure coming in, "Oh, Jessica, here she comes."

"Hello."

"No need to do this, come and sit."

Following Chief Jin's answer, Jessica sat on the chair opposite him and looked at the senior executive in front of her. The last time they met was at the end of last year.

After sitting down, Jessica waited silently for the room director to speak, but the other person kept reading the documents, which made her a little uneasy and agitated.

This situation probably lasted several minutes.

Normally it would only take the blink of an eye, but here it gave Jessica the illusion that seconds seemed like years.

Fortunately, the person opposite didn't ignore her for a long time. After reading the document, he handed it to Jessica, "By the way, you should also take a look at this document."

After taking the file, Jessica lowered her head and glanced at the beginning, and then raised her eyebrows to look at the other party with her heart touched.

Chief Kim, however, was relatively calm, "Let's take a look first. Your recent stop has made everyone feel quite comfortable, so everyone thinks your idea is OK. Plus, Yoona also said I gave you a plan, so of course you won’t be stuck.”

Jessica's expression, which was looking at the document, started to show excitement, but gradually became a little entangled, and she also became a little silent.

At the same time, Chief Kim continued to talk.

"But although the company doesn't have your idea, it can't give you whatever you want. We discussed it later and opened a gambling agreement for you and Yoona. As long as you complete the content of the agreement, the company will get what the company wants. If you want it, you can get what you want."

When Jessica heard this, she happened to see the conditions written in the gambling agreement in the document.

The first and most important thing is income, followed by specific data on fan popularity, and finally some personal resources.

In addition, there are various detailed conditions.

At first glance, it seems quite demanding, but after carefully comparing my own conditions, it seems that as long as I work hard, it is not impossible to complete.

And if the above can be accomplished, then the company will not lose much revenue, and it can even obtain these profits without spending too much company resources.

So why not.

But if the target conditions and profit amount cannot meet the basic requirements of the company, then if you are released, won't you suck the blood of the company?

This is definitely not possible.

The smart Jessica quickly understood the company's ideas, but being harsh was harsh. Giving an agreement so simply was completely unlike the company's approach.

So I asked directly, "Director, does the company have any other requirements besides this?"

"Jessica, you are really smart. You do have some requirements, which are the priority cooperation conditions after the establishment of your studio. The negotiations at that time will actually be looser than those in your hands. It just needs to be bound to the company."

Binding a company seemed very mundane, but it made Jessica think deeply.

There are many advantages and disadvantages here. If it were placed outside the peninsula, she would definitely not want to do this.

But if she compared the environment within the peninsula, she couldn't tell which side had more.

After thinking for a moment, Jessica asked a question, "Can the business be split?"

This question made Director Jin look at her deeply, and he pushed down the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose with some difficulty, "Step by step, I can give you a guarantee, that is, if the bet in your hand is completed, I'll try my best not to interfere."

The seemingly extremely unequal statement made Jessica feel a lot more relaxed, and she didn't want to get into a situation where the fish was dead and the net was broken.

Thinking about the situations that Lin Yi had talked to him a few times before, it seemed that if it really got into trouble...

The fish may die, but the net may not break.

Thinking of this, Jessica closed the agreement and said, "Director, can I take this back and take a look?"

Now she is no longer like herself when she debuted, simply reading it once and then signing it.

Because at that time, she just wanted to make her debut and become famous, and it didn't matter what a slave contract was.

After all, 7 years have been wasted, what's the difference?

There were too many sunk costs and I was not allowed to give up at that time.

But it's different now. It's time for her to think about her future.

Therefore, some treaties still need to be read carefully and consulted.

"Can."

Director Jin nodded, a rare act of generosity, "But try to come here as early as possible, because it takes a year, and the sooner, the better for you."

After saying that, he thought about it again and added one more sentence.

"You can talk to Taeyeon and the others. If they want to do this, the agreement is here. As long as they have ideas, they can come and talk at any time. Of course, the conditions will change. Although it is a new reform, it does not mean that it can Success. I am more optimistic about you and Yoona, Taeyeon is also good, and the others..."

A company's invisible big sister, Girls' Generation's iceberg princess; a company's business card, Girls' Generation, and even the contemporary C-position of the entire music industry; one is Girls' Generation's captain, the most prestigious team captain.

These three people are firmly among the top three most popular in Girls' Generation, and they have formed an unspeakable gap with the others, so it's no wonder that Chief Kim said that in the end.

"Yes, I understand, room chief."

After this exchange, Jessica took the contract and exited the office.

Then he stood at the door and stared at the uppers on his feet for a few seconds before turning around and leaving.

There was a feeling of deep emotion in my heart. I and Yoona had worked hard these days, racking their brains for these plans and ideas, but they didn't expect that they would be used as favors by the company in the end.

Jessica clenched her fists hard until the joints gradually turned white, and then she slowly let go. Several deep nail marks were left on the palms of her hands, creating a sense of pain that kept her brain awake.

Thinking about it carefully when she is awake, the gambling agreement just seemed very harsh, but for her, it was actually somewhat beneficial.

Because she has connections and can find resources on her own.

But if it were anyone else, the connections and resources alone would be enough to suffocate them.

The connections here do not refer to the connections of friends in the industry, but to some company CEOs with real power, as well as some brand directors, etc.

It is the kind of network that can generate profitability and can generate resource circulation.

Therefore, compared to resources, Jessica is more worried about the proportion of profits converted from popularity.

For them who are already at their peak, wanting to take another step forward to achieve that goal is almost as difficult as when they reached the top two years ago.

At this time, they are at the peak, and if they go higher... they will be above the peak.

is it hard?

It must be difficult in Jessica's opinion.

So when she woke up and walked in the corridor of the company, her face became a little heavy.

But this was Jessica's idea, and Lin Yoona, who had received the news earlier than her, walked very briskly when she walked out of the office.

After all, Lin Yoona knows very well where their peak is.

Because above the peak, Fang is young.

Therefore, in her opinion, the company's gambling agreement, apart from some difficulties in terms of resources, is just like picking it up in terms of popularity and profitability.

This is a dimensionality reduction blow from the future to the past, a result that neither Chief Kim nor Jessica could have expected.

But Jessica didn't know this. At this time, she had a headache.

As for what to do about headaches, Jessica thought of a way, which was to find a doctor.

So after walking out of the office building and coming to her car, she took out her mobile phone, found the phone number and dialed it.

…

…

Finally, after Lin Yi took a few more close-up shots and close-ups of Taozi's face, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, cut, done, done, finished shooting, let's go eat."

As his voice ended, the two lights next to him instantly went out.

"I'm so tired, Shao Xi. Is this how you usually run around with him?"

After holding the light for less than half an hour, Krystal's arm muscles were a little sore, so she looked at Li Shaoxi who was calmly tightening the wire harness next to her and asked.

Li Shaoxi nodded first, then thought of something and shook his head, "It's okay. I don't usually take pictures so late, so I rarely need to fill in the light. Most of the time I just put the reflector."

After listening to Li Shaoxi's answer, Krystal said a new word she learned recently, "What a waste of natural resources."

This sigh made Lin Yi look back at her and smile, "Why? Why am I wasting all my natural resources?"

Lin Yuner and Taozi also looked over.

"Shao Xi is so beautiful, wouldn't it be a waste if you use her as an assistant?"

After the classroom teaching in the afternoon, there was also the reimbursement shopping in the evening.

Krystal and Lin Yi have become closer, so they don't have to worry so much when talking.

"I admit this."

Lin Yi nodded, then raised his chin, asking Krystal to look at the front desk, "Maybe you can try to persuade her. Actors or models can actually make money very quickly, much easier than me, but she just can't Willing to do it.”

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Li Shaoxi calmly gave a bunch of examples.

"Relaxed? Teacher Lin, what do you mean by relaxed? For example, I can take a break in the studio, double vacations, rest on holidays, no deductions for leave, and travel at public expense, insurance, bonuses, etc. , can you have these if you become an actor or model?"

After saying this, Lin Yuner and Tao Zi, two people who knew the situation immediately laughed.

As for Krystal, she was already surprised. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Lin Yi and then at Li Shaoxi.

She is not the kind of young lady who doesn't work hard, doesn't know the difference between grains, and doesn't recognize animals. She still understands some work situations in society.

But she had never heard of the kind of treatment Li Shaoxi just mentioned.

Maybe there are companies like this in some countries with good welfare, but definitely not in Seoul.

"But actors earn a lot of money, and you often work overtime, right?"

Faced with Lin Yi's rebuttal, Li Shaoxi put away the flashlight and held it in the crook of his arm. At the same time, he did not forget to cast a glance at the talking figure.

"But those are my jobs, and I get commissions. I earn whatever I do, and the boss doesn't deduct wages. This is the fairest working condition, and I think it's pretty good."

Lin Yi was at a loss now and looked at Krystal, "Look, I hope you can help me persuade her. If you take care of her, I won't have to go to work."

As Lin Yi said this dream, Lin Yuner finally stood up and patted his back, "Okay, stop making trouble, pack up and go back. It's a little late and it's not safe here."

After saying a few words to Lin Yi, he looked at Krystal and said, "Xiujing, please ignore him. This guy is just lazy."

Just when Krystal wanted to ask a few more questions, Lin Yi, who was walking in front of her, took out the vibrating cell phone from his trouser pocket.

As soon as he saw the caller ID on the screen, he immediately looked back at her and Lin Yoona next to him.

Turning the phone around, he pointed the screen at the two of them, "Um, Jessica's phone number. Can any of you listen to it for me? I'm going to help collect the tree."

Lin Yoona pointed to her hair cover, then took the phone from Lin Yi's hand and put it into Krystal's hand.

Looking at the phone in her hand, Krystal was stunned for half a second, then swiped across the screen.

"Hey, Ernie."
