The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3438 Difficulties

Xu Xian approached cautiously, trying to keep a safe distance, but this little trick was of no use.

Because Yoona, who was far away, didn't even wait for Seohyun to stop, she immediately pounced on her, and lay in Seohyun's arms and howled, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Not to mention the suspicion of being taken advantage of by Yoona, because Xu Xian was in close contact with Yoona at the moment, she could clearly sense that this woman didn't shed a single tear.

This is inappropriate. Yoona has a talent for pretending to cry, but now she doesn't even have the intention to pretend for a moment. Does she have to rely on Seohyun for everything else?

Xu Xian pointed out that Yoona thought too highly of herself. What virtue did she, Xu Xian, have to make Li Menglong bow to her?

Besides, she didn’t even know what was going on. If she helped rashly, what if Yoona took advantage of her?

Similar things have happened a lot. Xu Xian has been cheated so many times that she has learned some lessons, so she appeared quite calm.

I saw Xu Xian trying to calm Yoona down by trying to push her away so that she wouldn't take advantage of her.

On the one hand, I tried to communicate with Li Menglong and hear what the other party had to say. I couldn't just listen to Yoona's one-sided statement, especially since Yoona didn't say a word at all.

"Hey, what should I say? I'm a little confused now. Why don't you ask her and listen to how she complains first?"

Li Menglong handed over the initiative. This action alone was enough for Xu Xian to make a judgment. It seemed that he was most likely innocent in this matter, or at least he was the one who was right.

  Now Yoona has no choice but to continue pretending to be confused, otherwise Seohyun might turn around and leave. This is her last hope. Does she have to rely on those women to save her?

It’s not that Yoona looks down on them, but because she knows well enough that once those women come over, they will most likely stand on Li Menglong’s side and watch the fun. They don’t have that much sympathy.

So let's talk about it. Anyway, Yoona doesn't think she did anything wrong. She was just being fooled by Lee Moon-ryong the whole time!

In Yoona's description, she is the kind of little girl who is naive to the world, and Li Menglong is undoubtedly the kind of greasy middle-aged uncle, the kind of bastard who tricks the little girl into seeing goldfish.

This statement was naturally denied by Li Menglong. Regardless of whether he is greasy or not, this is a personal subjective impression after all. But how can Yoona have the nerve to say that she is a little girl?

Her profession is an artist, so she may lack some social experience, but that is not an excuse for her to be a fool.

And even if Li Menglong deliberately lied to her, where was the "bait"?

A popular idol was defrauded for 10,000 yuan. Even if the matter went to court, Li Menglong would dare to say that he was not guilty.

Not only does Yoona not regard this as a shame, she also speaks out here. Does she really not consider Seohyun as an outsider?

Xu Xian was also quite confused at the moment. She tried to simplify the process: "Just because of 10,000 yuan, you agreed to perform a solo for him?"

This summary is too concise and lacks many necessary details, such as Li Menglong's eloquent deception and his use of his power to threaten her.

But Yoona really couldn't express her opposition clearly, because seriously speaking, this was the fact.

But Li Menglong still wanted to add: "And she has already taken the money in advance, but now she doesn't plan to perform. What should I do?"

Xu Xian originally wanted to solve the problem by trying to smooth things over, but after hearing Li Menglong's addition, she also showed an incredible look.

Noticing Xu Xian's surprised look, Yoona finally felt a little shy. It seemed a bit embarrassing indeed.

But she just couldn't explain it, because her little thoughts couldn't be revealed to the public.

  Was she going to say that she was planning to drag the other girls into this? Was she going to say that she had no intention of fulfilling her promise from the beginning?

In short, Yoona started to act badly. She put everything she had on Seohyun. Would the little girl really not care about it anymore?

It is because Li Menglong is still around, otherwise Yoona would have to pull Xu Xian aside to talk about their past, focusing on the part where she helped Xu Xian, and she would keep emphasizing it.

  Fortunately, Xu Xian is not so heartless. The main reason is that Yoona is hanging on her. The two of them are like conjoined twins at the moment. What can she do?

All I can say is that many things are destined and cannot be changed, such as family background, parents, and teammates!

In theory, unpleasant relationships among teammates can be changed, but of course the process will be quite difficult. Similar relationships can be found in college roommates.

But the same cannot be said for idol groups. Forget about it after their debut. If there are any personnel changes, their popularity will be significantly affected, and they may even never recover.

As for before debut, it is indeed a good opportunity, but unfortunately the artists have no say at that time.

  After all, the company at that time was definitely the trainees’ heaven, the kind of existence that dominated their fate!

Once you displease the company and are kicked out of the debut group, at the very least, all your efforts in recent years will be wasted, and at the most, the trajectory of your entire life will be completely changed.

In this situation, you have to endure any grievances, and disliking other members may be the most insignificant thing.

  It seems that the teammates in the group really have no choice. Xu Xian has long recognized this and adjusted her mentality accordingly. Otherwise, how could she have survived so many years?

She now has to continue cleaning up the mess for Yoona, and she won't know how many times she will have to take responsibility in the foreseeable future. When she thinks of this, Xu Xian has the urge to give up.

But she finally asked absentmindedly: "Don't talk about the past, just tell me what you want to do now!"

In order to prevent Li Menglong from asking too much, Xu Xian also emphasized: "It is impossible for us to perform for you. You also know the price of our performances. The number you gave is simply disrupting the market!"

As the girls' manager, Li Menglong knew clearly how correct what Xu Xian said was.

If someone else came to him to discuss similar cooperation, Li Menglong would definitely block the other party directly, but who can blame him for being the one taking advantage now?

In fact, he wasn't that excited about Yoona's performance, because Yoona wouldn't perform seriously.

  If he continued to apply pressure, Yoona would probably just twist around a few times. He could see this kind of "performance" every day, so was it worth spending money on it?

So he proposed a more reliable aftermath plan: "According to the normal contract, you are now in active breach of contract, and you need a hundred times..." Li Menglong had just started, and Xu Xian and Yoona knew what he was going to say next. They thought he was still planning to ask for money?

There is certainly no problem in returning the money to him, and there can even be a basis for giving him three or even ten times more.

But Li Menglong is asking for a hundred times the amount now. Is he crazy about money? Who would pay a hundred times the amount if they breached a contract? Would anyone sign such a contract?

Seeing that the two people in front of him were quite resistant, Li Menglong immediately changed his tone: "But we only made a verbal agreement, so the final compensation standard needs to be discussed in detail. How much do you think is appropriate?"

Although Li Menglong took a step back on his own initiative, he also had to consider the mentality of the two people opposite him. Are they sure they can accept this condition now?

Since Xu Xian is not a party involved, she can only look at Yoona and ask her to give a basic bottom line.

And Yoona did not disappoint Xu Xian: "Dream on! I won't give you a penny. It's just a performance. What do you want to see? I'll show you right now!"

Yoona finally jumped out of the original trap. To be precise, she passed this hurdle.

It’s just a performance, it doesn’t matter who you perform for. Besides, Li Menglong paid him. No matter how much he gave, they are fans. What’s there to be embarrassed about performing for fans?

However, Li Menglong had better not ask for too much. Yoona has only given a preliminary agreement, and the specific performance content is still to be discussed.

Xu Xian was quite supportive of this, because it was the simplest and most convenient way to solve the problem, and it also reduced the possibility of disputes.

Now all that’s left is for Li Menglong to speak. Is he going to go back on his word?

In fact, Li Menglong didn't care at all. It would be best if he could get money, but if it could get Yoona's performance in return, he would not lose out anyway.

  If you sing on the street for such a small amount of money, the songs you sing would be looked down upon. But now you can have a popular idol sing to you face to face. What more can you ask for with such treatment?

Even Li Menglong took a step back again and did not ask Yoona to dance in an aggressive way. He just wanted her to sing a song a cappella, and the song could be chosen by Yoona herself.

In short, he gave the most generous conditions, and Xu Xian also thought that this request was not excessive, but why did Yoona's face still look so ugly?

Of course Yoona was a little worried. It had been a long time since she last sang a cappella. It seemed that the last time was probably when she was a trainee.

Even the number of times she sang alone was pitifully small, which was not a side of her that she needed to show, even though her main job was indeed a singer.

This is the same in many groups, so when Li Menglong suddenly made this request, Yoona was a little resistant.

If she sings it wrong, Li Menglong will laugh her to death. Will Lin Yoona still have the courage to live?

So how about dancing? She, Yoona, is very good at dancing, so it doesn't matter if she's a little sexy.

However, she couldn't make such a request herself, so she could only keep giving Li Menglong hints with her eyes.

But Li Menglong seemed not to see it. He sat there calmly chatting with Xu Xian, and the topic of the conversation was the songs that Yoona was good at.

  This question also made Xu Xian a little embarrassed for a while, because she really didn't remember such a song. Would this answer make Yoona angry and embarrassed?

In order to avoid this, Seohyun could only change the subject as much as possible and talk about some funny things about Yoona being praised when she was a trainee. The main purpose was to praise Yoona, but it invisibly put more pressure on her.

Yoona is really in a dilemma now. She even thought that Li Menglong was deliberately making things difficult for her. Otherwise, her hints were so obvious, why was he pretending not to see them?

  In fact, Li Menglong really didn’t see it. To be more precise, he didn’t understand Yoona’s “deep meaning”!

He naively thought that Yoona was just resisting the performance, and the so-called hint was for him to cancel the performance on his own initiative. How could he agree to that?

As time went on, more and more people gathered around, and when the other girls heard that Yoona was going to sing, they also became interested.

Even though their daily job is singing, they don't listen to each other singing very often in private. After all, work is tiring enough, so they shouldn't bring work into their lives.

  Fortunately, the atmosphere is very good now, and Li Menglong doesn't ask for more, so the girls can join in the fun. This does not count as bullying their own people!

For this purpose, they also dug out some of their group's cheering lights, banners, etc., and waved them around non-stop, just like they were Yoona's fans for many years.

"What do you mean? We are. We are your first batch of original fans since we were trainees. We have a lot of experience. You have to be serious and don't let us fans down!"

  The girls tried to overstate their qualifications. Yoona herself didn’t even know she had so many “big-name fans”. Did they hide it too well?

In short, it is difficult for her to say no now, and performing it seems to be her only option?

So Yoona could only try to choose a song that she was good at. After searching around, she finally chose a song by Kim Taeyeon.

This surprised Kim Taeyeon herself, and she felt the same way as Yoona before. She didn't know when she had such a fan, and why didn't she say it before? Was it because she was shy?

There is no need to have such emotions. Her singing voice is so moving that even teammates who spend time with her day and night find it hard to resist. There is nothing that can be done about it.

  Looking at Kim Taeyeon's cocky look, the other girls are already thinking of removing her from the "judge" team, otherwise wouldn't this be a blatant collusion?

Before she even started singing, Yoona had already offended a group of "judges", even though she had never expected their comments.

Yoona took a few deep breaths, but the effect on her heartbeat was quite limited. She didn't know how long it had been since she had felt so nervous.

It shouldn't be like that. Not to mention the big scenes she had seen in the past, the group of people in front of her posed no threat to her at all.

  Even if these people tease her a few times, will it have any impact on her? Will she be kicked out of the group because of this?

But reason didn't work at all at this moment, and she could only start her performance in this tense state.

Li Menglong also controlled his expression at the first moment, trying not to show any doubt. If he heard correctly, was Yoona's first sentence out of tune?
