when we are no longer young

Chapter 37: Deception?

In the first trial in China, Huang Zitao won the case.

In the first trial in South Korea, Huang Zitao lost the case.

Huang Zitao refused to reconcile, saying that he would prepare an appeal.

In the second trial in South Korea, Huang Zitao lost the case.

Huang Zitao's side still refused to reconcile, and the scene fell into a stalemate.

Huang Zitao found it ironic. It was the first time he saw an employee who couldn't resign, and he happened to meet him. Is this going to work or prostitution?

The EXO members in South Korea have also heard the rumors, after all, it is already the Internet age, and no matter how suppressed the news is, it cannot be suppressed.

As the team leader, Jin Junmian condemned the members who left the team "routinely" and planned the development direction of the nine members of EXO in the future.The words have to go through the brain n times, to speak well, to make the fans feel at ease, and to shut the mouths of the reporters and the media. At this time, if a sentence is wrong, there is a little flaw, he will make the headlines the next day, and the whole EXO will be dragged down.

EXO has been on the top for too long, and there are already countless pairs of eyes staring at them without blinking, waiting for their general trend to fall, so that they can attack them in groups.

After participating in the interview, Jin Junmian was already exhausted. He used his brain too much, and it seemed that his brain cells were almost dead. Now he can hardly speak normally.

When he returned to the dormitory, he began to edit his INS. It is reasonable to say that these social accounts are all published by the editors of the agents. There are PR agents who are responsible for this. Artists cannot post posts and pictures privately, because if the sentence is wrong, It's a big deal.The blood and tears experience of countless predecessors told them that INS must not be posted casually.

But at this point he still wants to edit it himself, because he knows what the agent will write, but he doesn't know how far they will write.Instead of letting them "severely" condemn, it is better to write it yourself to minimize the damage to "former teammates".The big deal is to finish writing and give it to the agent for review.

"Junmian, come out."

"What's the matter? Can't you just say it here, I'm a little busy now."

"I said let you come out, I don't want to repeat it for the third time."

Zhang Yixing's voice was a bit cold, Jin Junmian was stunned, but put down his phone and followed him out.

Zhang Yixing didn't take the elevator, and climbed up the stairs one by one, both of them were a little out of breath.When he reached the 11th floor, Jin Junmian already knew Zhang Yixing's destination, the rooftop of the StarMuseum dormitory.

That was the place they would come to every time they were in a bad mood. The roof was very dilapidated, no one had cleaned it up for a long time, and it had probably been abandoned.A long time ago, this was a "secret place" for trainees to smoke or secretly avoid the company's diet control, and give themselves extra meals. Including Zhang Yixing, they later occupied the rooftop and turned this place into their "decompression room".

Afterwards EXO debuted, gradually became busy, and many things happened, and they never came to the rooftop again.

Zhang Yixing brought him here today... What does it mean?

The iron door, which had been covered in dust for a long time, was dilapidated and unlocked. The big iron lock was destroyed by Park Chanyeol long ago, and it was only hung there symbolically.

The iron door was pushed open with a creaking sound, accompanied by dust.Zhang Yixing stepped in, followed by Jin Junmian.

"Jin Junmian," Jin Junmian felt nervous, Zhang Yixing hadn't called him by his first name for a long time,

"Jin Junmian, tell me, you don't know anything, do you?"

"What? Know what? What are you talking about?"

"Wu Yifan, Luhan, Huang Zitao, and me, our entire EXO, you don't know, right?"

"Yixing, tell me clearly, what do you know? I don't understand what you mean."

"I say!" Zhang Yixing stepped forward, grabbed Jin Junmian by the collar,

"I said, the contract of all our Chinese members, or the entire EXO! Our contract! Did you know about it long ago?"

"Did you already know that there would be such a day, you already knew the problem with this contract! Jin Junmian, you are so scheming!"

After the words "contract" appeared, Jin Junmian's body visibly trembled, and his eyes began to wander. Zhang Yixing pushed him away as if giving up, and Jin Junmian took a few steps back to barely stabilize his figure.

I knew it a long time ago, and he really knew it a long time ago...Jin Junmian, you...I really mistrusted you...

When Huang Zitao lost the lawsuit in the first trial, Zhang Yixing understood that there was something wrong with the contract, and remembered how Jin Junmian blocked him when he signed the contract.

The truth is already clear, isn't it?They regard Jin Junmian as the best captain, but this "best captain" has always been a member of the company, and together with the company, they lied to them all.

"Yixing, you..., listen to my explanation."

"Okay, I'll let you explain, no, I'll just ask you to answer."

"Before signing the contract, did you already know that there was a problem with the contract?"

"……Yes."

"When Wu Yifan terminated the contract, did you expect it?" Zhang Yixing breathed a sigh of relief,

"Actually, he shouldn't have won the lawsuit. The company didn't consider perfecting Canadian laws, and he took advantage of the loophole, right?"

"……Yes."

"Lu Han didn't win the lawsuit, but a settlement. I'm right. What price did he pay?"

"He, his relationship with the StarMuseum will last until 2022. During this period, he is not allowed to be active in any other country except China, and the annual profits must be shared with the StarMuseum. I don't know anything else, I only know so much. "

into?Most of them should be contributed to StarMuseum, use him to make money in China, hehe, President Kim is very smart...

"If Tao insists on not reconciling, what will be the worst outcome?"

"I have no idea……"

"Tell me!" Zhang Yixing shouted.

"Maybe, he will be detained in South Korea until the 22-year contract expires."

"..." Zhang Yixing closed his eyes, trying to suppress the anger in his heart as much as possible, otherwise he would not be able to control himself and greeted Jin Junmian's face with his fist immediately.

"His father can't get him out?"

"No matter how powerful his family is, it can't be stronger than the StarMuseum, not to mention...this is South Korea, and it's beyond our reach."

"Jin Junmian, don't you feel guilty at all? Do you think you are worthy of them?"

"I have a clear conscience."

"What did you say?" Zhang Yixing really couldn't help it, with a clear conscience?What a clear conscience!He punched Jin Junmian in the face.

The opponent staggered from the beating and stood still, but blood was already spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Yixing,... don't slap me in the face, there will be an interview the day after tomorrow."

"..." Zhang Yixing finally realized once in his life what it means to be too angry to speak, and he is in this state now!Interviews, cameras, Kim Junmyeon, besides profit, what else is on your mind!

"I still have you on my mind."

"..." Can you read minds?

"No, it's because I know you well enough."

"..." Am I a person who writes everything on his face?I do not know how?

"Yixing..., let me explain after the beating is over, okay? Even if the death penalty is imposed, the criminal must make an excuse, right?"

"Okay, tell me." I want to see how you can argue.

Jin Junmian smiled weakly, is the mind-reading technique that only works for the angry Zhang Yixing counted as a stunt?He and Yixing have known each other for so many years and have never had a fight, because he can see what Yixing is thinking every time, and then prescribe the right medicine.Tried and tested, but this time it doesn't seem to work.

"I did know that before signing the contract." Jin Junmian paused, "But I have no choice. I can't stop it, let alone change the contract. I don't have that much ability. If you refuse to sign, there is only one result, which is Can't get out. You want them to do that?"

"If you can't debut at StarMuseum, go to another company, the three major agencies, or other small companies, which one won't work? Do you have to hang yourself on a tree?" This is not bragging. With their strength, at least debuting will not be a problem. Why limit yourself to the StarMuseum.

"Oh, Yixing, you are still too naive." Jin Junmian laughed,

"..." Zhang Yixing frowned, no matter which man is called naive by his peers, it is definitely not something that can make people happy.

"Do you think you refused the contract to leave StarMuseum, and there is another way? First exclude the three major agencies, other small companies, who will offend StarMuseum because of you, a small trainee who may not be popular or not?"

"When we were back then, JYP was still at the end of the three major clubs, far away from StarMuseum, and was in the stage of keeping a low profile and would not take the initiative to cause disputes.

And YG is promoting big bang, their world is all brought down by others, it can't be too early to kill the donkey, right?Also, I don't think our style suits YG. "

"So we have to have the StarMuseum?"

"Yes, it must be the StarMuseum."

"Even if you sign the overlord's contract? Do you think this is a deal where the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?"

"I think so. Moreover, Wu Yifan's contract terms are mainly against Chinese laws, and there are loopholes in Canadian laws. I didn't tell the company about this, and it's the only escape route I can leave for him."

"You think you're pretty great?"

"Um"

"..." Damn, Zhang Yixing is a little speechless now.

"The main reason is..., the main reason is that I didn't expect them to leave. I thought that the second half of this contract would never be used."

Zhang Yixing understands that Jin Junmian has difficulties, but he really can't forgive him all of a sudden, forgive him for deceiving him for so long, watching them being played and applauded by others, but calm without a single glance.

"Tao won't be detained." Jin Jun said emphatically.

"why?"

"I can't say that, sorry."

"..." He didn't want to speak anymore now.

Feeling extremely irritable inside, Zhang Yixing turned around and wanted to go downstairs, he didn't really want to see Jin Junmian's face right now.

"Yi Xing!"

"Do you have anything else?"

"You...will you go too?"

"Will you leave me...us too?"

"I promised Wu Yifan that I would protect EXO for him." Zhang Yixing had already gone downstairs, and his voice floated out from downstairs.

Is it just that I promised Wu Yifan, that's why I stayed?Jin Junmian felt a little bitter.
