Chapter 2137: The Visitor Is Not Well-Intentioned

According to Shen Changmin's plan, he would first post a few Instagrams, then stir up the fans' emotions, and with the company's plan in coordination, the matter would surely escalate.

When the time came, he would make that fat guy kneel and apologize to him.

Not just him, but everyone at SM Entertainment thought the same way.

But some people didn't think so.

Hanxing Investment, Representative Office.

Liang Jingyu saw off Zhao Fusheng and his group, who had just finished a meeting with everyone, and called Park Sun-young in.

What?

Park Sun-young stared at Liang Jingyu in shock, her face blank: "Hit someone?"

"Mm."

Liang Jingyu nodded: "The chairman was insulted by TVXQ's Shim Changmin. Go handle this matter."

As he spoke, he said coldly, "Notify the media in Seoul that this incident is not to be reported. Anyone who dares to speak recklessly should not blame me for being rude."

"Yes."

Park Seon-yeong quickly nodded, turned, and left Liang Jingyu's office.

Once outside the door, her expression turned icy cold.

"Director."

A group of people stood there, waiting for her.

"Let's go. To SM Entertainment."

Park Seon-yeong instructed calmly.

……

……

The massive convoy drove along the road. Sitting in the car, Park Sun-young instructed the driver in the passenger seat: "Arrange a meeting for me with all the media in Seoul."

"Huh?"

The secretary was startled, then immediately nodded: "Yes, Director."

As the director of Hanxing Investment, second only to the top, everyone knew that Park Sun-young was a genuine strong woman. Her orders essentially represented the will of Liang Jingyu, and no one dared to defy them.

It seemed the company was about to make a major move.

Over at SM Entertainment, when Kim Young-min received the news, he was quite surprised.

"Park Sun-young?"

Frowning slightly, Kim Young-min found it strange: "What is that woman doing here?"

He had dealt with this Park Sun-young more than once and knew her reputation in the current Korean investment circle.

Korean men are severely chauvinistic; they actually look down on women.

This is no joke, but a fact.

In the Korean workplace, discrimination against women is unimaginable in any other country. In Korea, it is almost impossible for a woman to balance family and career. Moreover, she would be mocked or even despised by most people.

Therefore, a woman like Park Sun-young, who rose strongly and achieved success, was feared by many men.

In their eyes, such a woman was almost no longer considered a woman.

"Has Director Lee been notified?"

Kim Young-min asked his secretary.

"Director Lee is already on his way," the secretary replied.

As one of the shareholders of SM Entertainment, Hanxing Investment rarely paid much attention to SM's affairs—a fact that both Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man were well aware of.

In their view, it was simply because Hanxing Investment was so wealthy that it didn't care about this small investment in SM.

But Kim Young-min still couldn't understand why, out of the blue, Park Sun-young had suddenly come to SM and demanded that all senior directors attend.

Soon, Lee Soo-man also arrived.

"What's going on?"

Lee Soo-man asked, puzzled.

He had been busy with family matters lately—his wife was not in good health—so he rarely came to the company.

"I heard Changmin got into a fight at the airport?"

Lee Soo-man asked Kim Young-min.

"A minor trouble. I've already arranged for someone to handle it," Kim Young-min said nonchalantly. "The problem now is, what does Park Sun-young want by suddenly showing up?"

Lee Soo-man's face immediately darkened.

To be honest, like Kim Young-min, his biggest worry was that Hanxing Investment had some designs on SM.

The reason was simple: Hanxing Investment was far too powerful.

It was like if Samsung Group announced it wanted to acquire a Korean company—unless that company was a subsidiary of a chaebol, the acquisition was practically a done deal.

And while Hanxing Investment couldn't compare to Samsung in Korea, knowledgeable people knew that in terms of financial strength and influence, it was one of the most influential companies in the country, second only to the chaebols.

More importantly, Hanxing Investment was allied with Samsung and CJ Group—that was truly formidable.

In other words, once they took an interest in a company, it was likely a collaboration among these three super-groups.

That was something SM simply could not resist.

"Let's wait and see."

After a moment of silence, Lee Soo-man said.

Even a cunning old fox like him was helpless in such a situation.

Often, the use of schemes and tricks depended on who they were aimed at.

In the face of absolute power, no scheme or trick could work.

It was like Zhuge Liang versus Sima Yi: no matter how brilliant Kongming was, Sima Yi just held firm with patience, dragging things out until Zhuge Liang was exhausted.

The reason was simple: the state of Wei was so powerful that it could crush Shu.

In short, Shu couldn't afford a protracted war. Losing a hundred thousand soldiers would cripple Shu, but Wei could quickly muster the same number again.

That was the awkward part.

SM was in the same situation.

For Hanxing Investment, SM was just one of the companies in which it held shares. Even if all those shares became worthless, its assets would shrink by at most one percent. But for Lee Soo-man, this company was the fruit of all his life's work—he couldn't afford to lose it, and he dared not take the risk.

Soon, Park Sun-young's motorcade arrived at SM.

Dressed in a black suit, followed by a group of assistants in formal attire, Park Sun-young exuded an overwhelming aura the moment she stepped out of the car. Everyone bowed and greeted her.

"Ms. Park, hello."

"Director Park, long time no see."

Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man both greeted Park Sun-young.

Ordinarily, Park Sun-young might have been polite to them, but today she merely grunted in acknowledgment and strode inside.

Today, she was representing Hanxing Investment to cause trouble, so of course she wouldn't give them any smiles.

Besides, she knew well that as Liang Jingyu's trusted aide, she represented his attitude toward this matter. Especially with the chairman involved, if she gave the impression that she didn't take this seriously, it would reflect badly on Liang Jingyu.

Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

Clearly, this woman's intentions today were not good.
