I am not an artist when I am reborn

Chapter 257 Apologize
Chapter 20Apologies
"It's raining a lot."

Pei Zhuxuan was wearing a loose bathrobe, standing in front of the single-sided floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the heavy rain outside, and sighed.

After getting no response for a long time, I looked back and found that Su Jinxing's figure had disappeared to nowhere.

"Director?" Pei Zhuxuan raised her voice slightly and called Su Jinxing.

No one responded.

Feeling doubtful, Pei Zhuxuan stepped out of the master bedroom with her bare feet on the soft carpet that covered the whole room.

No one was seen in the living room, so he continued outside.

Then Su Jinxing's voice was heard.

"Is the performance in the afternoon? I see the weather forecast means there may be rain."

I'm on the phone.

Pei Zhuxuan paused and did not move forward. Instead, she returned to the bedroom after hearing these words.

Looking at the dark sky, it is now around eight o'clock in the morning, but the sky looks like evening.

"It's raining really hard." After murmuring, Pei Zhuxuan stared blankly out of the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Pei Zhuxuan turned around when he heard the sound and saw Su Jinxing standing at the door holding a mobile phone.

"The door is not closed, why are you knocking?" Pei Zhuxuan asked as he followed Su Jinxing closer.

"The carpet makes no sound when you walk on it. If you come here directly, it will scare your easily frightened little rabbit." Su Jinxing said with a smile and sat down next to Pei Zhuxuan.

With a sweet smile on her face, Pei Zhuxuan reached out and hugged Su Jinxing from her waist.

"It's pretty careful."

Su Jinxing gently stroked Pei Zhuxuan's silky long hair, as if stroking a soft and cute little rabbit.

"I don't know if the rain will stop today." Su Jinxing looked out the window and sighed.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Pei Zhuxuan asked in a muffled voice with her head resting on Su Jinxing's thigh.

"GFriend has a business performance this afternoon. It's the opening of a mall owned by a company under the Samsung Group. It's hard to refuse. But it's raining so hard that it's not convenient to perform."

"I just communicated with the organizer and the afternoon business show has been cancelled."

"But GFriend said that if the rain is not as heavy as it is now, they can perform, so we discussed with the organizer that if the rain is not so heavy in the afternoon, they will go on stage."

"Isn't this inconsistent with your philosophy?" Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but ask.

She had been forced to stop activities by Su Jinxing because of illness before, and this guy didn't even come to see her once.

Really are!
"They strongly requested, but there is no other way." Su Jinxing pinched Pei Zhuxuan's soft earlobes, "You were already sick last time, so I can ignore your thoughts, because objectively, the benefits of me doing this outweigh the disadvantages. .”

"This time, they may get injured. From an objective point of view, if it really rains and they continue to perform, it will be of great help to GFriend's subsequent operations."

"You mean... taking the opportunity to hype?"

Su Jinxing nodded.

"They will come back again in May. This time, if possible, the popularity will be enough."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded slightly, and suddenly, Pei Zhuxuan sat up from Su Jinxing's arms.

"Then you are going to be scolded?" Pei Zhuxuan discovered this problem.

Su Jinxing has always promoted artist-centered concepts. If he does this...?
"I will definitely get scolded, so I will go to the venue in the afternoon. If I can't perform, I will ask GFriend to come on stage to apologize. If I continue to perform, I will take a few photos at the scene. It will be easier to develop the draft later."

Su Jinxing is not afraid of being scolded, but he doesn't want to be scolded for nothing.

Being scolded by the public and then turning around is also a good opportunity for hype.

"As expected of you, knowing that you are going to be scolded, you still think about how to turn it into heat." Pei Zhuxuan once again felt the huge gap in business acumen between himself and Su Jinxing.

If she was hacked, she would only feel sad secretly. If Su Jinxing was hacked, all he could think about was how to realize it.

Pei Zhuhyun couldn't help but raise her forehead. How much money does this man want to earn?

"I'm a businessman." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

"Huh...huh?" Pei Zhuxuan looked down at Su Jinxing's hand that reached her waist. Su Jinxing's fingers had already touched the strap of the bathrobe, and she only needed to pull it gently~~

"What are you going to do?" Pei Zhuxuan looked at Su Jinxing in "horror".

"Of course I'm doing morning exercises." With Su Jinxing's smile, the buttons of the bathrobe were unbuttoned.

"Ani! Wuwuwu..."

Tsk tsk tsk~~~
……

In the afternoon, xx shopping mall.

The assistant quickly got out of the car, held up a large umbrella, and opened the door.

Su Jinxing got out of the car, and his assistant quickly held up the umbrella for Su Jinxing, not caring even if his back got wet.

"Hello, President Su." The person in charge of the shopping mall quickly stepped forward and bowed to Su Jinxing.

A large number of people behind him also bowed and saluted.

"President, something is delayed. President Su, please move on and wait a moment?" the person in charge said carefully.

"There's no need to let him come over." Su Jinxing waved his hand, "I'm here to see GFriend. Do whatever you want, don't worry about me."

"Okay okay."

Several people immediately agreed.

"Take me backstage."

"Ok!"

Under the leadership of the person in charge, Su Jinxing came to the backstage of the lounge where GFriend was.

The girls have already changed into short skirt uniforms similar to JK's and are waiting to go on stage.

After Su Jin walked in, one after another stood up.

Su Jinxing glanced at the short skirt that reached her thighs and didn't say anything.

He had said that the label's planned combinations could choose knee-length skirts, but these artists chose short skirts themselves, so he wouldn't say anything else. Anyway, they have safety pants, so let them do whatever they want.

"Senior." Jin Shaoqing looked at Su Jinxing with a guilty conscience.

Su Jinxing smiled at her, Jin Shaoqing felt guilty because she didn't listen to him.

"Since you have decided to perform in the rain, then perform well. I will arrange the rest. The company is your solid backing."

Su Jinxing stretched out his hand and rubbed Jin Shaoqing's head. For a tall man like 1.7 meters tall, rubbing the head was not as easy as that of a short guy like Song Yuqi.

"Pay attention to your own safety. I have brought the medical team. Remember to protect yourselves when you perform." Su Jinxing warned.

"Inside!" x6.

"Okay, no more words, let's go on stage while the rain isn't too heavy now."

"Guilty!" the girls responded again and left the lounge one after another.

"Let's go too." Su Jinxing said, looking at several reporters not far away.The reporters bowed in the direction of Su Jinxing, and then Su Jinxing followed the GFriends out.

When GFriend came out in the moderate rain, fans who were still anxiously wondering if they would come suddenly burst into deafening cheers.

The music started playing after GFriend stood still.

The assistant stood behind Su Jinxing holding an umbrella, holding an umbrella for Su Jinxing.

Through the rain, Su Jinxing looked at the girls performing on the stage from a distance.

Although I had planned it many times in my mind, when I actually saw the girls performing in the rain, I still felt uncomfortable.

Just before going on stage, my hair and clothes were already soaked by the rain, and it was the end of March. Although the weather was getting warmer, it was still very cold compared to summer.

Su Jinxing was worried that the girls would catch colds and get sick.

It has nothing to do with Jin Shaoqing, but Su Jinxing's heartache for young girls like GFriend.

The music of "Time Passes" sounded and the performance officially began.

"President Su, shall we go inside and take a look?" The person in charge came over and asked Su Jinxing.

"Go ahead, I'll watch them here." Su Jinxing glanced at the person in charge and continued to look at the stage.

Why are you pretending to be a good leader?

The person in charge cursed secretly, but did not dare to say anything more and stood still behind Su Jinxing.

The president Qian warned him and asked him to serve this master well. Even if Su Jin could not leave, he would not be able to go back to take shelter from the rain.

Pfft!
Su Jinxing's pupils shrank. During the performance, Cui Yuna slipped while walking and fell solidly onto the stage. This scene was painful for onlookers just watching.

"Director, do you want to stop the performance?" the assistant asked in a low voice.

Su Jinxing looked at Cui Yuna who stood up again with the help of Ding Enfei and shook his head slightly.

(Yu Zhou’s fall and fracture was not an outdoor commercial performance in the rain. This has been changed here.)
Subsequently, Cui Yuna slipped and fell one after another, falling firmly to the ground each time. Su Jinxing watched from a distance, feeling very uneasy.

GFriend's dance is very difficult, and the movement requirements are very high. They are basically "flying", which is usually fine, but the stage can easily slip when it rains. After Cui Yuna fell down for the first time, she may have already No matter where I fell, the subsequent falls were like a leak, happening one after another.

There were three songs in total, and they ended quickly. Su Jinxing didn’t know how many times Cui Yuna fell. The other members also slipped, but only Cui Yuna fell the most, and she was walking every time. If you fall while sitting in position, you may have been injured.

After exiting the stage, Su Jinxing quickly returned to the backstage without saying a word.

As soon as he entered, he saw doctors from the medical team surrounding Cui Yuna. The other members were covered with blankets and holding a cup of hot ginger soup in their hands.

"How is Yu Na?" Su Jinxing walked over quickly and stopped everyone who wanted to salute and asked.

"Yu Zhouxi's little finger on his left hand was fractured and he suffered some minor injuries from a fall. It's not a big problem. He just needs to recover for a while." The doctor said to Su Jinxing.

"Director, I'm fine!" Cui Yuna said quickly after the doctor finished speaking.

"Is it okay if you have a broken bone?" Su Jinxing said with a frown.

"She is afraid that you will stop our activities." Jin Shaoqing said from the side.

"Is that so?" Su Jinxing looked at Cui Yuna.

Cui Yuna hesitated and nodded.

Su Jinxing took a deep breath.

It seems that the last time he forcibly stopped all Bae Zhuhyun's schedule had a big impact.

But he can't let go on this point. Once he changes to asking for artists' opinions, the people below are likely to directly take advantage of this, coerce and induce artists to continue activities despite their physical discomfort, and then repeat what happened with EXO.

The authority over this matter still has to be in his hands.

However, what happened to Bae Zhuhyun last time was that he ignored the artist's own wishes.

Raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

Too arrogant.

That is to say, Bae Zhuhyun has a good temper and is not angry with him because of it.

"I understand, you should have a good rest first." Su Jinxing looked at GFriend's manager, "Send them back to the dormitory later. Prepare more cold food and drinks, and be careful of catching a cold."

"Inside!"

"Go back to the company." Su Jinxing said to his assistant.

"Ok."

……

By the time Su Jinxing returned to the company, GFriend's performance in the rain had already become a hot search topic, and it was heading towards hot searches at a rate that was rising by several digits every time.

At the same time, there were more and more words about Yin Yang mocking Su Jinxing and insulting SM.

The director of GFriend's office hurried to Su Jinxing's office.

"Director!"

"You go make an announcement and follow the content here." Su Jinxing handed the prepared draft to the director of GFriend's office. "In addition, in addition to the injury, Yu Na's little finger on her left hand was fractured and she had multiple minor minor injuries. hurt."

"There's no need to add the injury, right?" GFriend's office director hesitated.

"Do you think the public are fools?" Su Jinxing frowned and said, "Yu Na fell seven or eight times in front of the public. Did she get any injuries?"

"Miane! It was my negligence!" The director of GFriend's office quickly bowed and apologized.

"I will send an apology later and the GFriend office remember to forward it."

"Inside!"

"Go ahead and post as soon as possible."

"Inside!"

Su Jinxing picked up his phone and continued to write the apology he had not finished in the car.

At 37:[-] p.m., GFriend's office issued an apology, describing the causes and consequences of GFriend's performance in the rain, emphasizing that it was the artists themselves who strongly requested to perform on stage, and it was not the rumors online that they squeezed artists and forced GFriend to perform on stage.

At the same time, Cui Yuna's injury was reported, and GFriend's next activities would be planned according to GFriend's wishes and combined with Cui Yuna's injury.

At [-]:[-] p.m., Su Jinxing posted an apology on his personal Instagram, which was forwarded by GFriend's office and SM's official blog, as well as GFriend members.

It started with an apology. As the operating officer of GFriend, he failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect the health of the artists. Then he slightly beautified the conversation with GFriend backstage, highlighting GFriend's insistence on performing and not wanting to disappoint fans. He was dissuaded, but couldn't help GFriend's point of view to be expressed.

This was followed by a lengthy self-examination and apology.

The attitude highlights a sincerity.

In fact, when Su Jinxing, a senior executive of SM company, personally issued an apology, this matter, which was not that big in the first place, had been resolved.

However, Su Jinxing's words were extremely sincere and his attitude of self-criticism was very serious. Many fans' anger was immediately extinguished.

There are two different things when the company issues an apology and when the specific person in charge issues an apology. When the matter is not serious, the latter is undoubtedly more sincere.

Especially after GFriend members reposted this post on Instagram one after another, and Cui Yuna also left a comment after reposting, saying, "This is my own choice, and I would like to thank Director Su for respecting our choice."

This directly reversed the negative impact of this incident.

　Good news, the album has been released on Cai Yuen Street again.

　　Bad news, I have this card.
