Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

"This is...? An SM trainee?" Kim Tae-yeon sat up abruptly.

To outsiders, the man's dance moves might just seem similar, but in Kim Tae-yeon's eyes, it was clearly an "insider secret" within SM Entertainment. Trainees these days aren't taught these things anymore; this "outdated" routine was a product of their era.

Why...why would this happen to a foreign man?

Kim Tae-yeon continued reading with doubts, becoming increasingly alarmed and bewildered as she read on.

Many of the details of the movements are products of their era, especially when they dance their own parts, which are completely replicated. He even learned some of the little tricks he incorporated into the dance.

Is that correct?

That's not right!

Kim Tae-yeon was certain that she had only taught these things to Xia Yan, but Xia Yan's ability to replicate them was less than a tenth of what the man in the video could do.

She taught him this skill step by step!

But how is that possible?

She didn't know this person at all.

Something's off about 100 out of 10!

Is it really possible for someone to learn her true skills just by watching her videos?

Do you have Sharingan, friend?

The song ended quickly, and Kim Tae-yeon glanced at the name below the video.

"Su Xia..."

After searching, I found that someone has already uploaded Su Xia's musical note video.

Kim Tae-yeon clicked on the most popular song, "Why," and started watching it.

then……

She was stunned again.

That sound!

Even though their voices are completely different, why are their vocal techniques and vocal ranges so surprisingly similar?

A clone?

Kim Tae-yeon refused to believe it and listened to it repeatedly, gradually discovering a terrifying truth.

She saw someone in the comments section say it was Ai, and Kim Tae-yeon initially thought so too, but after listening to it a few times, she realized something was wrong.

Can AI voice replacement truly perfectly replicate her voice skills while also infusing her with emotion?

Her widely praised singing ability essentially involves adding emotion and nasal resonance at appropriate points in the song to enhance the listener's experience.

This is her unique skill.

But in this video...

It's been replicated too!

The dancing is similar, the singing is similar...

Could it be that I taught this student, then had a car accident and lost my memory, forgetting this period of time?

Or did someone else log in from another location and steal my account?

Kim Tae-yeon scratched her head, lost in self-doubt.

……

Ding.

The elevator doors opened as Su Xia stepped out of the elevator lobby.

boom!

The sound of cannon salutes rang out in my ears.

"Welcome home, champion!" Sun Haotian's signature hoarse voice rang out immediately.

Immediately afterwards, enthusiastic applause reached Su Xia and Kim Tae-yeon's ears.

Su Xia looked at the law firm members, who were almost all present, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Such a big fuss?"

"You're a big internet celebrity now. In the past two days, more than ten clients have come specifically because of your name," said Director Wang, the director of the law firm and Su Xia's mentor on her path to becoming a lawyer, with a cheerful smile.

Trainee lawyers are required to learn from a mentor for a year, and the relationship between trainee lawyers and mentors is that of "master" or "mentor" in private, which is a kind of succession among lawyers.

But generally speaking, whether a master teaches you anything truly depends entirely on the individual.

"It's already having an impact?" Su Xia asked in surprise.

"Of course." Director Wang nodded with a smile. "Come on, shall we have a chat?"

"it is good."

Su Xia arrived at the conference room with the firm's partners and lawyers, but intern lawyers like Sun Haotian did not come along.

"What is this...?" Su Xia looked at her master in confusion.

"The law firm wants to establish a cooperative relationship with you." Director Wang had a certain understanding of his intern lawyer, so he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Our institute isn't large, but everyone's skills and experience are quite good; what we lack is fame. Now that you've become an internet celebrity, the institute wants to use your fame as a selling point to increase its visibility."

"It means they want me to stay in the institute," Su Xia concluded, stroking her chin.

"Yes." Director Wang nodded. "You should be contacted by major law firms soon, so we want to keep you here."

"So... what can I get?" Su Xia asked cheerfully.

Friendships aside, one should still claim one's own interests.

"Ten percent of the firm's annual net income will be allocated to you as a case referral fee," Director Wang stated his terms.

"Ten percent of the total revenue," Su Xia said, shaking her head.

One-tenth of net income is only a few dollars.

The law firm's total revenue is only a few million. After deducting expenses and taxes, can it really make two million?

Even if there are two million, one-tenth would only amount to two hundred thousand.

After Kim Tae-yeon's explanation, Su Xia gained some understanding of how profitable celebrity management can be.

He hasn't filmed a single bad movie or taken on any commercial orders, yet his video revenue sharing has already exceeded 100,000 yuan.

This speed of making money was like printing money for Su Xia before. The number of business orders he made on the back end also soared from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and then to hundreds of thousands.

A profit share of one or two hundred thousand a year...

Su Xia really didn't think much of it.

After hearing Su Xia's words, Director Wang and the others all looked somewhat hesitant.

We haven't even seen any positive impact from Su Xia's fame yet, and ten percent of the profits have already been taken away...

"Let them be your legal team, and you'll only take 5% of the profits," Kim Tae-yeon suddenly said.

Su Xia subconsciously repeated Kim Tae-yeon's words.

This scene of someone being too lazy to even think made Kim Tae-yeon's eyelids twitch.

This guy...

Sand soldiers?

She repeated what she said without even a second of hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang and the others' eyes lit up.

"We can discuss this."

"Then I'll go out first." Su Xia stood up, leaving them alone.

Judging from their expressions, Su Xia could roughly tell that they would agree.

That is indeed the case.

Less than ten minutes later, a colleague called Su Xia back.

All those present were lawyers. They drafted a contract on the spot, discussed the details, and finally signed the cooperation agreement.

Now Su Xia has successfully taken over the entire law firm.

The entire law firm as a legal team is truly something else.

Most influencer teams either nominally hire a law firm as their legal team, but in reality, it's just one lawyer from that firm acting as their legal advisor.

We should either hire a few cheap law graduates as legal counsel.

Alternatively, you could simply forgo legal services and go directly to a law firm if something goes wrong.

However, there are very few, if any, law firms like Su Xia's that have an entire legal team dedicated to her.

Having settled things at the law firm, Su Xia began to focus on improving her singing skills according to the training plan given by Kim Tae-yeon.

Time passed slowly until a message arrived.
