249: Chapter 232: Starting from the end of the next chapter, Wenzheng bombards us with clingy messages!

---

In the early morning of Seoul, sunlight pierced through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-rise office, plating TG Entertainment's brand-new meeting room in a layer of pale gold. The air was filled with the aroma of freshly ground coffee and a silent yet vigorous ambition.

Kim Soo-yeon sat at the head of the conference table, dressed in a sharp ivory-white skirt suit. Her long hair was meticulously tied up, revealing a graceful and slightly aloof neckline. Several documents were spread out before her, and the screen displayed scrolling data charts. The sunlight fell on her, but it seemed to be cooled by the composure and sharpness beyond her years, transforming into a highly persuasive halo.

"The editing of the recording materials for the fourth episode of 'twelve star envoys' is 78% complete, and the special effects synthesis has entered its final stage." The project leader reported, their tone unable to hide their excitement. "The online hot topic index has consistently topped the top three over the past week. Derivative topics like 'IZ*ONE Zodiac', 'Lion Charge Duck Punch', 'star spring messenger Jang Wonyoung', and 'Myeong-dong Great Battle' have seen geometric growth in discussion volume. Sponsor feedback has been extremely positive, with seven brands already clearly expressing their desire to renew for the next season and their willingness to increase sponsorship amounts."

"Social media distribution analysis reports show," another data specialist added, "that short videos related to the show are going viral on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Especially the members' 'embarrassing yet professional' contrasting performances have greatly shortened the distance with young audiences, forming a unique 'sharing hardships' type of fan stickiness. The number of followers on TG Entertainment's official account has surged by 300% in the past month."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was one of restrained excitement. Everyone knew that TG Entertainment, this cutting-edge battleship, was using 'twelve star envoys'—a highly controversial yet extremely promising project—to forcefully tear open a dazzling gap in the cutthroat Korean entertainment content market.

Kim Soo-yeon's slender fingers lightly tapped the smooth tabletop, her calm gaze sweeping across every number on the report. She didn't show excessive joy, only nodding slightly. "What about public opinion monitoring? The proportion of negative voices?"

"Within controllable range," the PR team leader immediately replied. "The main points of controversy are still concentrated on 'over-consuming idols' and 'settings being too absurd,' but with the release of show content and the members' increasingly 'self-enjoying' performances (along with the direct surge in commercial value), the proportion of such voices is declining. More discussions have turned toward the show's creativity, the exploration of the members' variety sense, and... President Jiang's 'ghost talent' but also 'devil' production style." The team leader's tone paused slightly when mentioning Jiang Zhiyu.

A very faint look of understanding flashed in Kim Soo-yeon's eyes. Since returning from the BBQ restaurant that night, Jiang Zhiyu had buried himself even deeper into work and new project planning, almost in a state of not sleeping or resting. Others might just think the President's workaholic nature had flared up, but Kim Soo-yeon could feel some unresolved undercurrent beneath that calm surface. However, she chose not to look deeper—everyone has their own battlefield to handle, as long as it doesn't affect the course of the TG ship.

"The exclusive broadcasting invitation letters from the Big Three stations—KBS, MBC, and SBS—all officially arrived yesterday." The secretary pushed three gold-stamped documents in front of Kim Soo-yeon. "The conditions are all very generous, especially KBS, which offered a commitment to a weekend prime-time slot and a very high purchase price."

The meeting room fell silent, and all eyes focused on Kim Soo-yeon. Exclusive broadcasting rights meant huge exposure, a stable viewership base, and significant direct income. Choosing which one was a strategic decision.

Kim Soo-yeon didn't look at those tempting conditions. She looked up, her gaze calm but carrying an unquestionable penetration.

"Thank you all for your hard work; TG's potential is being noticed by the market." Her voice was clear and steady. "But as for the exclusive broadcasting rights, we have already made a decision."

She paused and scanned the crowd. "Give it to tvN under CJ ENM."

Surprise flashed in several pairs of eyes. While tvN was certainly a high-quality cable station known for its sophisticated production and novel themes, compared to the Big Three wireless stations with wider coverage and a larger audience base, it didn't seem like the top choice for maximizing profit purely from viewership numbers.

Kim Soo-yeon seemed to see through their doubts and continued, "Choosing tvN is, first, based on the trust established by the successful cooperation on 'destined kim hyo-soon'. Second, tvN's platform tone is more consistent with the 'novel, bold, and high-end' route pursued by 'twelve star envoys', allowing for a better presentation of the show's characteristics without compromising due to the viewership pressure of wireless stations. Third," her eyes became deep, "and most importantly—to consolidate the strategic bond with CJ ENM. IZ*ONE is CJ ENM's valuable asset, and placing the show's core broadcasting platform in their own camp is a key step in showing our sincerity for cooperation and seeking longer-term common interests. Short-term viewership numbers are not our only pursuit at this stage."

Her words were clear and her vision was vast, instantly making everyone understand the deep meaning behind this move. What TG wanted was not a temporary hit, but to establish a solid industrial ecological position and strategic alliance.

"Then, the invitations from the Big Three..." the secretary asked.

"Accept all meeting invitations." Kim Soo-yeon stood up, her posture straight and her tone decisive. "But not to negotiate exclusive broadcasting rights. Instead, it's to 'showcase'—to showcase TG Entertainment's production capabilities, content innovation strength, and future development blueprint. We want them to see that while missing out on the exclusivity of 'twelve star envoys' may be a regret, the value of future opportunities to cooperate with TG is even greater."

She was going personally, as the youngest president in the history of TG Entertainment, to stand before those traditional, massive television stations and showcase TG's muscles and ambition without being humble or arrogant. This wasn't begging for cooperation; it was announcing an entry and setting her own rules of the game.

"First, KBS." Kim Soo-yeon glanced at her watch; the timing was just right. "Is the car ready?"

"It's already waiting downstairs," the assistant immediately replied.

Kim Soo-yeon gave the lapel of her suit jacket a final adjustment, her eyes as calm as water yet containing a power that could not be underestimated. She stepped forward, the sound of her high heels hitting the floor crisp and steady, as she walked toward the door.

"Let's go."

The young queen of TG Entertainment was about to step into the traditional halls, not to compromise, but to sow the seeds for even greater future cooperation. And the popularity of 'twelve star envoys' was the most dazzling calling card in her hand. The Seoul streetscape outside the car window flew by, and Kim Soo-yeon's profile was reflected in the glass, calm and determined. She knew that the era belonging to TG Entertainment was slowly beginning with rounds of attacks like this.

---

The black sedan drove smoothly into the parking lot of the KBS Main Building. This place was constantly filled with a busy atmosphere, with various vehicles, staff, and artist vans coming and going. The air seemed to be filled with the clamor of variety show sets and the rigor of drama crews.

Kim Soo-yeon pushed the door and got out of the car, the afternoon sun catching her exquisite profile. Her ivory-white skirt suit seemed to carry its own soft light in the slightly dim parking lot, making her skin look as white as snow. She stood tall and walked with a composed pace. Although she was extremely young, she was surrounded by a sense of composure and aloofness that came from being in a high position for a long time, making her look out of place with the hurried atmosphere around her.

"That person... who is she?" A young staff member who was about to move props stopped in his tracks, nudged his companion's arm, and stared blankly. "A rookie actress? A model? This visual... it's incredible!"

"Doesn't look like it, with that aura..." The companion was also stunned, his gaze following Kim Soo-yeon. "Look at the assistant following her, that attitude is so respectful. And that car... is she here to talk business?"

"Talk business? So young? She looks like she was made from CG modeling..."

Similar whispers echoed in the corners of the parking lot. Kim Soo-yeon was long used to this, or rather, she didn't care about these looks at all. Her gaze calmly turned toward the elevator entrance, her mind quickly going over the information of the Director of the KBS Program Production Bureau she was about to meet and the core data TG was prepared to showcase.

Just then, another van stopped not far away. The door opened, and a young girl wearing a light-colored dress with fresh and sweet makeup stepped out. It was Shin Ye-eun, an actress who had emerged in recent years and gained attention for her pure beauty and decent acting. She happened to have a KBS radio schedule today.

As soon as Shin Ye-eun got out of the car, she looked up, and her gaze was involuntarily and firmly drawn to the white figure not far away.

"What... who is this?!" Shin Ye-eun almost whispered in surprise, her eyes wide with amazement and disbelief. She considered herself to have seen many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but this person... it wasn't just the impeccably exquisite features, but a complex aura that mixed extreme cold elegance, composure beyond her years, and a faint sense of control. The impact was too strong. Especially that perfectly tailored suit; it didn't make her look old-fashioned, but rather gave her a breathtaking sense of elegance and power.

The Manager following Shin Ye-eun, a lady in her forties who was used to seeing many things, was also dazed for a moment. Then, a strong sense of envy and a trace of hard-to-hide jealousy erupted in her eyes. She lowered her voice and almost gritted her teeth in Shin Ye-eun's ear, "Aish... it's her, the one from TG Entertainment... Chairwoman Kim Soo-yeon. Seventeen! A seventeen-year-old president!"

"Mo?!!" Shin Ye-eun really cried out in surprise this time. Fortunately, there was a lot of noise around, so it didn't attract too much attention. She suddenly turned her head to look at her Manager, her face full of disbelief. "Se-Seventeen?! Five or six years younger than me?! A president?!" She felt her outlook on life had been hit. At seventeen, she was still working hard to get into her dream university and fighting for a small supporting role, while the other person was already the president of an entertainment company with strong momentum?! This gap...

As if sensing the gaze, Kim Soo-yeon's eyes swept over faintly. That gaze was calm and without any ripples, showing no inquiry or curiosity. It was just like passing over an insignificant object, staying on her and the Manager's faces for less than a second.

However, at the moment of eye contact, Shin Ye-eun and her Manager's bodies almost instinctively and reflexively straightened up. The entertainment industry's strict notions of seniority and status were already carved into their bones. Although the other person was incredibly young, the title of "President" and that unquestionable aura made them feel a huge gap in status instantly.

In the next second, the two moved in unison, bowing deeply at nearly ninety degrees, their heads lowered almost to their knees in an extremely respectful posture.

Kim Soo-yeon's footsteps seemed to pause almost imperceptibly. She looked at the two figures bending deeply before her, perhaps because of their overly solemn reaction, or perhaps she just felt this scene was a bit... formulaically absurd? The corners of her mouth twitched upward extremely slightly. It probably couldn't even be counted as a full smile, more like a very faint, fleeting ripple.

Then, she didn't stay any longer and, accompanied by her assistant, walked straight into the elevator doors that had already opened.

The elevator doors slowly closed, cutting off that white figure and that breathtaking aura.

Shin Ye-eun and her Manager maintained their bowing posture for a few more seconds until they confirmed the elevator had gone up before slowly straightening their somewhat stiff bodies.

"Phew..." Shin Ye-eun exhaled a long breath and subconsciously patted her chest, feeling her heart still beating a bit fast. "Wow... Daebak... it's completely... the aura of a president." She couldn't find a better word to describe it. That invisible sense of pressure and distance was something she had never felt from someone so young.

Her Manager's eyes were burning, and that bit of jealousy had been quickly replaced by a huge sense of opportunity. She grabbed Shin Ye-eun's arm and whispered excitedly, "Ya! Ye-eun! Did you see? TG Entertainment! Such strong momentum! That Chairwoman Kim Soo-yeon! If... if we can have a chance, even if it's just to make your face known to her and build a little bit of a connection, your future development..." The Manager's hands were shaking with excitement, "It would simply be like riding a rocket! It's much better than grinding out seniority at KBS!"

Shin Ye-eun's gaze was still on the floor numbers where the elevator had stopped, her expression somewhat complex. The president's aura was indeed awe-inspiring, and her achievements beyond her years were enviable and even made her feel a hint of inferiority. But the "riding a rocket" future her Manager spoke of made her feel a sense of unreality and a hidden pressure.

The young president's gaze that had just swept over her was too calm, too distant. It was as if they were from two different worlds.

"Maybe..." Shin Ye-eun replied softly, her tone not showing much excitement, but rather more of a daze and a trace of indiscernible awe. "But... that kind of height isn't so easy to get close to."

She withdrew her gaze, adjusted her skirt, and walked toward her destination. In her heart, she couldn't help but recall the white figure she had just caught a glimpse of. A seventeen-year-old president... TG Entertainment... this world was indeed broader and more hierarchical than she had imagined.

And at this moment, the elevator was carrying Kim Soo-yeon, rising steadily. That extremely faint curve on her face had long since disappeared, replaced by her usual calm. The small interlude just now hadn't left any mark in her heart. Her thoughts were already fully concentrated on the upcoming meeting to showcase TG's strength and ambition. The amazement, bowing, and discussion in the parking lot were just insignificant background noise on her path forward.

At 3:00 PM, in the high-level meeting room on the top floor of the KBS Main Building.

On both sides of the heavy mahogany long table, the atmosphere was subtle. On one side sat three KBS executives: Park Jae-young (50 years old, Director of the Program Production Bureau, with a serious face), Lee Hyun-woo (45 years old, Head of the Variety Department, with shrewd eyes), and Kim Min-jun (42 years old, Executive Director of the Procurement Department, with a cautious expression). They were also accompanied by two assistants and a legal officer.

On the other side, there were only three people: Kim Soo-yeon sat in the middle, with TG Entertainment's Legal Director (40 years old, professional and capable) on her left, and the Project Operations Director (38 years old, a data expert) on her right.

Park Jae-young picked up his teacup, his gaze staying on Kim Soo-yeon for a moment, unable to hide his surprise. Although he had heard that the TG President was young, seeing her in person was still shocking—this child looked like a high school student, yet she was sitting here talking about exclusive broadcasting rights worth hundreds of millions of won.

"Chairwoman Kim," Park Jae-young spoke, his tone carrying an elder-like gentleness, "first of all, welcome to KBS. Your company's 'twelve star envoys' has indeed attracted a lot of attention, and we are very interested."

Lee Hyun-woo immediately followed up, "However, I am curious, how much experience does Chairwoman Kim have in variety show production? After all, the investment scale of this show is not small, and we need to ensure production quality and broadcasting results."

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

The question was asked quite directly, almost questioning Kim Soo-yeon's qualifications.

The conference room fell silent instantly.

The people from KBS waited for the young president's reaction—was it nervousness? Defensiveness? Or feigned composure?

Kim Soo-yeon lifted her eyes, her gaze sweeping calmly across the three people opposite her.

She did not answer immediately but nodded to the project operations director beside her.

The director understood and opened the tablet in front of him, and the large screen at the front of the conference room lit up.

"Director Park, Department Head Lee, Director Kim," Kim Soo-yeon's voice was cool and clear, without any awkwardness, "Before we discuss 'twelve star envoys', I would like to first demonstrate the core capability architecture of TG Entertainment."

The first page of the PPT appeared on the screen—a simple black background with white font: TG Entertainment Content Production Capability Matrix.

1. Music Production—Industry-leading creative strength.

Kim Soo-yeon's voice remained as steady as ever: "Many people know that TG Entertainment is an emerging company, but they might not know that in the past two years in the Korean entertainment market, 37% of the hit songs have had the shadow of TG creators behind them."

Lee Hyun-woo raised an eyebrow: "Oh? This data is interesting."

"Please take a look." Kim Soo-yeon gestured.

Data began to scroll on the screen:

· "White Frost Moonlight" (IU, 2018 Annual Music Chart Top 3) — Creator: Jiang Zhiyu (Pseudonym "Z")

· "Prince Rupert's Drop" (Kim Taeyeon, 2017 experimental single, established artistic reputation) — Producer: Jiang Zhiyu

· "Backlight" (Kim Taeyeon, 2018) — Creator: Jiang Zhiyu (Signed "Y")

· "Fragments" (IU, 2018, released simultaneously with "Backlight", sparking a "sock puppet showdown") — Creator: Jiang Zhiyu (Pseudonym "Z")

· "Poem of Growing Backlight" (IU, 2019, ignited the internet) — Creator: Lee Tima (Pseudonym "Whoever Loses Is A Pig")

· "Quenching" (Kim Taeyeon, 2019, a work modified to respond to provocation) — Producer: Jiang Zhiyu

· "Constrict" (Park Jin-young, 2019) — Creator: Lee Tima

· "Residual Flowers" (Kim Taeyeon, 2019, representative work of "hatred style") — Producer: Jiang Zhiyu

· "IRACEBETH" (Red Velvet, 2019, Red Queen dark fairy tale concept title track) — Producer: Jiang Zhiyu

· "love declaration" (TWICE, 2019, explosive in the Chinese market) — Creator: Lee Tima

· "Greed" (IU, 2019, created to suppress "love declaration") — Creator: Jiang Zhiyu (Sock puppet "Mario")

· "Cinderella (reloaded)" (ITZY, 2020) — Creator: Lee Tima

· "Poison Apple" (ITZY, 2020) — Creator: Lee Tima

· "Snow White: The Cracked Ivory Tower" (aespa trainees, 2020, 6-minute psychological thriller) — Creator: Jiang Zhiyu

· "Milk Song" (JYP collaborative controversial work, 2020) — Creator: Lee Tima & Park Jin-young

· "eclipse: prologue" three singles (Kim Soo-yeon, 2020, topped music charts) — Producer: Jiang Zhiyu

Behind every song, music chart rankings, download counts, streaming data, and summaries of industry reviews were attached.

A slight gasp echoed in the conference room.

The several high-level executives from KBS exchanged glances—they knew some of these songs, but they had never systematically linked these hit songs to TG before.

Kim Soo-yeon continued: "This means that TG possesses the most scarce resource in the market—the creative ability to continuously produce hit music.

And this ability can be directly converted into an artist's commercial value and fan stickiness."

She paused for a moment and looked at Park Jae-young: "Director Park, what do KBS music programs and year-end awards ceremonies need? They need musicians who can create topics, attract traffic, and improve the quality of programs.

And TG is the producer of this kind of resource."

Park Jae-young was silent.

The rhetoric he had prepared about the "young company lacking experience" was blocked by this series of solid report cards.

2. TV Drama Production—Dual verification of reputation and market.

The screen switched to the next page:

· "destined kim hyo-soon" (16 episodes of main drama + 12 special episodes, aired on TVN)

· Producer: Jiang Zhiyu

· Starring: Lee Tima, Im Yoona, Jang Wonyoung, etc.

· Ratings: Average 4.2%, peak 6.7% (excellent for cable channel)

· Online buzz: Top 10 on trending searches for three consecutive weeks

· Reputation score: NAVER 9.2, Douban 8.7

· Commercial return: Product placement recovered 300% of the cost, derivative product sales were explosive

· International expansion: Reached a "low-price licensing + high-revenue sharing" cooperation model with China's Tencent Video

Director Kim Min-jun pushed up his glasses and looked at the data carefully: "I know this project; the production cost wasn't high, but the rate of return was astonishing."

"Yes." Kim Soo-yeon nodded, "TG's TV drama strategy is 'small entry point, deep digging, high resonance'. We are adept at using limited budgets to produce works that can trigger widespread emotional resonance.

This proves that we already possess a mature system in content planning, production management, and commercial operations."

She looked at Lee Hyun-woo: "Department Head Lee, the variety show department should know very well, what does a successful variety show need? It needs good stories, good characters, and good pacing.

And these are the core capabilities we have honed in TV drama production."

3. Variety Show Production—Innovative models and topic-creation ability.

The third page of the PPT appeared:

· "ae training camp" (Pre-debut sprint reality show for aespa, in cooperation with TVN)

· Producers: Jiang Zhiyu, Kim Soo-yeon

· Innovation: Training + variety show dual-track system, digging into the real personalities of idols

· Effect: aespa's pre-debut fan base grew by 280%, member personality recognition significantly increased

· "Fight, AE!" (Immersive RPG variety show)

· Planning: Lee Tima

· Innovation: Idol reality RPG, skills = music + dance + team collaboration

· Effect: Not yet officially aired, has already sparked industry attention during the internal testing stage

· "squirtle water gun battle" (Outdoor competitive variety show, Girls' Generation & aespa)

· PD: Jiang Zhiyu

· Innovation: Senior-junior warmth + variety show confrontation, creating classic "grudge lines"

· Effect: Recording clips leaked and immediately hit trending searches, trailer views exceeded ten million

· "Taeyeon's Quest: The Musical Footsteps of a Vocal Powerhouse" (Music travel reality show, starring Kim Taeyeon)

· Planning: Jiang Zhiyu

· Innovation: In-depth music exploration + personal emotional narrative

· Status: Rated by the industry as "the most anticipated music variety show of 2020"

Kim Soo-yeon gently placed the tablet in her hand on the table and leaned forward slightly.

This action made her gaze more focused and gave her words stronger penetrating power.

"Now, let us return to 'twelve star envoys'."

The core data of the program appeared on the screen:

· Recording progress: Four episodes completed, sufficient footage

· Online popularity: Reached the top of trending searches 13 times during recording

· Sponsorship status: 12 brands have confirmed cooperation, covering multiple categories such as food, beverages, electronic products, and daily chemicals

· Advertising revenue: Already recovered 170% of production costs

· Derivative value: Individual endorsement invitations for members increased by an average of 400%

"I summarize the core advantages of this program into three points." Kim Soo-yeon held up three fingers, her movements clean and crisp.

"First, innovation in model. The triple fusion of 'constellation mythology + real-life puzzle solving + team competition' has no precedent in the market.

This is not a simple idol reality show, but an immersive experience with a complete worldview, character settings, and plot advancement."

"Second, topic creation. From the beginning of recording, we have continuously created positive topics through 'embarrassing but interesting' settings.

The contrasting performance of IZ*ONE members being 'professional yet overwhelmed' instead brought them closer to the audience.

This 'shared adversity' viewing experience is something traditional variety shows struggle to provide."

"Third, commercial closed loop." She intentionally emphasized her tone, "Every segment of the program is deeply bound to sponsor products, but through creative settings, the placement becomes interesting rather than stiff.

Orion, Jieshi Sanitary Ware, Jufu Zhai Roast Duck... the exposure of these brands in the program has already brought about a significant increase in actual sales."

Kim Soo-yeon paused, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the three high-level executives opposite her in turn.

"Therefore, Director Park, Department Head Lee, Director Kim," her voice remained calm, but every word carried weight, "When you are considering whether to purchase the exclusive broadcasting rights for 'twelve star envoys', you are not evaluating a new program, but are evaluating—"

She said word by word: "A verified content production system, a capable team that continuously produces hits, and a strategic partner that may provide more high-quality content for KBS in the future."

The conference room fell into silence.

The three people from KBS completely put away their initial contempt.

The seventeen-year-old girl in front of them displayed not the recklessness or innocence of a young person, but a seasoned business mindset, precise data control, and a clear strategic vision.

Park Jae-young cleared his throat and finally spoke: "Chairwoman Kim's explanation... is very comprehensive. So, regarding the price of the exclusive broadcasting rights..."

Kim Soo-yeon smiled slightly—that was the just-right smile at the negotiation table, polite yet distant.

"Regarding the price, our operations director will provide a detailed plan. But before that, I would like to confirm one thing." She looked at Park Jae-young, "What is KBS's positioning of TG Entertainment?

Is it an external production company that occasionally provides good programs, or... a strategic partner worthy of long-term investment and mutual growth?"

This question was asked very cleverly.

It jumped out of a simple program transaction and rose to the level of relationship positioning.

Lee Hyun-woo couldn't help but ask: "What does Chairwoman Kim mean?"

"My meaning is," Kim Soo-yeon leaned back, her posture relaxing a bit, but her eyes remained sharp, "If it is just buying the exclusive rights for one program, then we can discuss the market price.

But if KBS is willing to establish a deeper cooperation with TG—such as co-developing new programs, sharing artist resources, and also having cooperation in the fields of music and TV dramas—then, the broadcasting rights for 'twelve star envoys' can become a starting point for our cooperation, and there will naturally be more flexibility in the price."

She paused, then added: "After all, TG's next project is already in planning.

It might be a virtual idol variety show, it might be an AI interactive drama, or it might be a cross-platform immersive experience.

And KBS, do you want to be the first broadcasting platform for these innovative contents?"

These words completely reversed the state of the negotiation.

It changed from "TG wants to sell a program to KBS" to "Does KBS want to seize the opportunity to cooperate with TG".

Director Kim Min-jun whispered a few words to Park Jae-young, then turned to Kim Soo-yeon, his tone becoming formal and respectful: "Chairwoman Kim, your proposal is very constructive.

We need some time to discuss internally. However, regarding 'twelve star envoys', we are indeed very interested.

Could we first see your specific proposal for the exclusive broadcasting rights?"

"Of course." Kim Soo-yeon nodded, gesturing for the legal director to hand over the documents that had been prepared long ago.

For the next half hour, the negotiation entered technical details.

Price, broadcasting time slot, promotional resources, revenue sharing ratio... Kim Soo-yeon's two directors were responsible for the specific elaboration, while she added key points at appropriate times from the side, cutting to the heart of the matter every time she spoke.

When the meeting ended, Park Jae-young stood up on his own initiative and reached out to Kim Soo-yeon: "Chairwoman Kim, I have benefited a lot today.

We will give a response as soon as possible. However, regardless of the cooperation on 'twelve star envoys', I hope that KBS and TG can have more exchanges in the future."

"Looking forward to cooperating with KBS." Kim Soo-yeon shook his hand, with moderate strength and a composed posture.

Walking out of the conference room, in the gap while waiting for the elevator, the project operations director couldn't help but whisper: "President, that was just brilliant. They were completely stunned by you."

Kim Soo-yeon watched the elevator numbers jumping and said calmly: "They were not stunned by me, but persuaded by TG's solid achievements and data.

Remember, in business negotiations, strength is always the best language."

The elevator door opened.

Kim Soo-yeon walked in, her white figure leaving a calm sentence before the metal doors closed: "Next stop, MBC. Update the data again, especially the new trending search data for 'twelve star envoys' from last night."

"Yes!"

The elevator went down.

In the parking lot, Shin Ye-eun and her Manager had just finished a radio schedule and were preparing to leave.

They saw Kim Soo-yeon walking towards a black car surrounded by a group of people; the young president's profile was calm and distant in the afternoon sun.

Shin Ye-eun couldn't help but take another look and whispered to her Manager: "Was she... having a meeting with KBS executives just now?"

The Manager nodded, their tone complex: "Must be. Look at those people's attitudes... it's completely the way they treat big shots."

Shin Ye-eun was silent.

She remembered how she would be nervous for a long time just for a supporting role audition, while that girl, who was younger than her, was already negotiating on equal footing with the top management of a TV station.

The black car drove away.

Kim Soo-yeon sat in the back seat and opened her phone to check messages.

There was one from Jiang Zhiyu: [The preliminary feedback from SM regarding the Red Velvet variety show has come in, and it is generally approved. We will finalize the details when you return.]

She replied: [Okay. The meetings with MBC and SBS are scheduled for tomorrow morning and afternoon. I will strive to complete all presentations within three days.]

Send.

She looked at the streetscape flying by outside the window, her eyes calm.

The road for TG Entertainment is still long, but today
