Chapter 110 The Agreement
"President Park, you must be joking." Zhou Wenzhe even suspected that Park Jin-young had gone crazy, how could he come up with such a terrible idea.
"Haha, I was just joking, but this is a good way to help her get rid of the negative public opinion."
"Isn't it even more likely that idols will be criticized if they date? They'll also offend their fans."
"Yes, but this kind of criticism is different from the criticism we see now. It immediately shifts the focus away from her. Do you think netizens like gossip or are they really willing to be some kind of champions of justice?"
After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Wenzhe realized that it was indeed true.
Many of the netizens who are criticizing Bae Suzy online are actually just unhappy with her; they don't really want to seek justice for the studio owner who committed suicide.
If she reveals her relationship, then these netizens will attack that one point, and no one will care whether the studio owner is innocent or not.
No one is really willing to fight for the rights of a stranger, especially since Bae Suzy herself was deceived in this matter, and the culprit was the female internet celebrity who fabricated the lies.
After thinking it through, Zhou Wenzhe asked with some surprise, "Then why doesn't the company do it that way? Doesn't Bae Suzy agree?"
"To reiterate, the best way for the company to handle this public opinion crisis is to do nothing."
"Okay, I understand."
Zhou Wenzhe understood that, from the perspective of Park Jin-young and JYP Entertainment, this approach was absolutely correct.
If it were him yesterday, he would also think this was the best way to handle it, and he wouldn't have bothered with the matter.
But that won't work now; he absolutely has to get that mission reward.
"Wen Zhe, tell me the truth, is there another reason why you're helping her?" Park Jin-young looked at Zhou Wen Zhe with a smile. He was now certain that the two had some kind of relationship, so he came up with this idea to test the waters.
Zhou Wenzhe immediately understood what Park Jin-young meant by asking that question; she was implying that the two were dating.
Indeed, given his current actions, anyone in his position would have this suspicion. However, he cannot provide a real reason, and making up a reason doesn't make sense.
Moreover, the person sitting opposite me is a cunning old fox; ordinary lies can't fool him.
This is really a difficult situation.
In the end, we could only accept it and deal with the consequences as they came first, as long as we got the reward.
Seeing Zhou Wenzhe's tacit agreement, Park Jin-young smiled but didn't say anything. In his opinion, the two were quite well-matched; they were of similar age, and both were handsome and beautiful.
After leaving JYP Entertainment, Zhou Wenzhe returned home.
That evening, just as he was about to leave for his appointment, he received a call from Son Seung-wan, who said she was coming to see him.
Zhou Wenzhe had no choice but to say that he had something to do and would be back later, asking her to come to his house and wait for him. He also told her the access control and the password to the door.
Son Seung-wan didn't ask him what was wrong, and simply agreed.
Around 7 p.m., Zhou Wenzhe arrived at the Western restaurant where he had arranged to meet Bae Suzy.
Bae Suzy had already arrived and waved to him when she saw him.
. .
Zhou Wenzhe walked over and sat down, taking the menu handed to him by the waiter.
"I've already ordered, you can order now," Bae Suzy said.
"Okay." Zhou Wenzhe opened the menu, casually ordered a set meal, and handed the menu back to the waiter.
The waiter poured him a glass of water and then left with the menu.
Zhou Wenzhe picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and said, "I talked to President Park about your situation today."
"Really? What did the president say?" Bae Suzy asked calmly, her expression remaining perfectly composed.
"The company has its own difficulties and stance, so I hope you won't mind it too much."
"I see."
Bae Suzy truly understands that in this world, it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. Although she has made great contributions to JYP Entertainment, to be honest, the company has never treated her unfairly. It can be said that both sides have achieved mutual success.
"Bae Suzy, may I ask which company you're going to sign with next?"
"I had already reached an agreement with ManagementSOOP, but now they say they need to discuss it again."
"So what do you mean?"
"I don't know either." Bae Suzy is now handling these contract issues on her own, as her original manager has been reassigned by the company to manage other artists.
"How about this, you sign with my company."
Zhou Wenzhe would never adopt Park Jin-young's terrible idea. After returning home from JYP Entertainment, he came up with a solution: simply giving Bae Suzy a script wouldn't guarantee she could eliminate the negative public opinion and emerge from her slump. She also needed a powerful agency to protect her.
If we let her join another agency, how can we guarantee that they will help her eliminate the negative public opinion? The only way is for me to handle it myself.
This is the best way to ensure the task is completed.
"Your company? You have a management company?" Bae Suzy's eyes lit up instantly.
"Not yet, but starting a brokerage firm isn't difficult."
"You're going to start an entertainment agency for me?" Bae Suzy suddenly felt like this was a trap. Why was Zhou Wenzhe being so nice to her? Did he have feelings for her?
"It's not for you. Actually, I've had this idea for a long time, but I haven't had the time to do it. As you know, I've invested in a lot of film and television dramas. Having a talent agency would make it easier to handle these things." Zhou Wenzhe had already thought of how to explain.
"Hmm, let me think about it." Bae Suzy accepted Zhou Wenzhe's explanation.
"Okay, let me know when you've made up your mind."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Actually, I had my own reasons for inviting you to join us."
"Huh?" Bae Suzy panicked for a moment, wondering if he was going to confess his feelings.
Zhou Wenzhe saw through Bae Suzy's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't overthink it. What I mean is that with you joining, I can invite more actors to join."
"Oh, I see." Bae Suzy was instantly a little disappointed.
"I'm very sincere. You can rest assured about the contract; it's definitely very generous. Think it over carefully."
"Yes, I will."
Bae Soo-ji thought about it seriously, and realized that this might be a great opportunity for her.
Although this yet-to-be-established agency has very little experience in the entertainment industry, Zhou Wenzhe has money, resources, and connections. Such a company has huge development potential, and as the first artist to join, he will definitely reap the most benefits.
Moreover, does she have any other good options now?
No more.
With that thought in mind, she made up her mind.
At this moment, the waiter brought over a bottle of wine that had already been decanted and poured it into two stemmed glasses.
Bae Soo-ji picked up a glass of wine and gestured to Zhou Wenzhe, saying, "Director-nim, I agree."
"Okay, welcome to the team."
Zhou Wenzhe raised his glass and clinked it against hers.
The agreement was thus reached.
