Chapter 377 Leaving (2)
"Apart from death, everything leaving is betrayal." "Black Deacon"
There was no fate or coincidence. Baker left before he got home, and Krystal, who had been living at home recently, didn't have time to see it for the last time. Of course, this may be a good thing, because unlike Sika and Kim Jong-ming, this Baker may be the only one for Krystal. This is not to say that she had never experienced similar things, but she was too young at that time, and I'm afraid she had no memory or impression. Even maybe in her head, it's very possible that the two Bakers were actually the same one.
But no matter what, reality is reality. Krystal still knew the news, so she never dared to go out after being screamed from bed by her mother. She was afraid that she would see Baker who was already cold. What would she do if that was the case? At this time, hiding alone was a better way to deal with it, right?
Since it was morning, several adults were at home, and Kim Jong-ming also discussed Baker's funeral with the four of them very peacefully.
Unlike Los Angeles, there is no garden here, so Baker cannot be buried directly like last time. Whether it is Kim Jong-ming or adults, they are not willing to bury him casually in any park. However, everyone is unwilling to bury him in the so-called pet cemetery and then erect a monument. Because after all, Baker is just a pet after all, and it should not invade the territory of living people. Secondly, as a celebrity dog, doing so will disturb him. The worst example is Choi Zhen, whose graves have been harassed repeatedly, and some people steal her ashes for the sake of becoming famous.
Therefore, the family agreed on the final plan, went to the pet hospital for cremation, and then scattered directly into the Han River during the heavy snow and freezing. After a few days, everything would be stopped. To the outside world, it was claimed that it had been scattered into the sea.
Although the overall plan has been decided, the specific process needs Kim Jong-ming to do it, so he was serious about soliciting specific opinions from several people before the adults went to work. Which hospital should I go to? Which section of Han River is spread into? Someone called in the middle, but Kim Jong-ming turned off the phone without even looking at it, because he really didn't want to be disturbed today.
After the plan was determined, he received the news that Xika also ran over from the dormitory. Girls' Generation had just held a concert of her own and was producing a new album these days. She came here for leave. But Krystal still didn't dare to come out, so Kim Jong-ming had to take Jia Chao and accompany Xika and Zheng's mother to handle these things.
Everything was going on step by step. Xika and Zheng's mother would shed tears when they came up emotionally, but Kim Jong-ming always maintained a normal expression and behavioral ability. Only those hands that would tremble as soon as they were put down would betray his heart from time to time.
At around 11:00 a.m., when Jin Zhongming and his group scattered their ashes and returned home in the heavy snow, he was unsurprisingly seeing Jiang Hudong and his group waiting there in Donghu Community.
Obviously, I didn't find myself in Apgujeong, so I came here.
"Go in and comfort Ermao." Jin Zhongming held Xika's shoulder. In fact, this girl's eyes were red. But she was her sister after all. "Don't let her think too much."
Xika first looked carefully at Kim Jong-ming, who looked as normal, then turned around and nodded slightly to Jiang Hudong and his group. She went around and went home.
"Why do you need to turn off the phone?" Jiang Hudong laughed dryly.
"I'm presiding over Baker's funeral. I need to be a little more solemn." Kim Jong-ming's answer seemed very stiff and cold.
"It's already...so soon..." Yin Zhiyuan was a little panicked. "What should I do?"
"Creincarnated." Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "Then take advantage of the heavy snow to the ice of the Han River. I will say that it will be spread into the sea... Please help me get it done."
No one answered. In fact, Baker followed the "Two Days and One Night" program team for two and a half years. Even Luo Yingshi had a deep affection for Baker. Even the first person who appeared in the "Two Days and One Night" promotional section was always Baker standing next to the six. So, even though everyone was adults, after suddenly hearing this certain news, everyone was still silent in the snow for a long time.
"Go to have a drink together?" After coming to his senses, Luo Yingshi had already believed in the idea that Kim Jong-ming was about to leave.
In fact, when M Meng was speaking, he believed it eighty points. Because even if Baker couldn't do it, there was no need to leave alone. Then, after the group came to Seoul, Kang Ho-dong called to ask about Kim Jong-ming's location, but the other party pressed it off and turned off the machine directly. At that time, he already understood that he had not met yet and had a trace of last fantasy. And now, the only thing left is showdown.
"Go to my house." Kim Jong-ming pointed to the East Lake Bridge behind him. He meant to go to the house in Apgujeong, and did not want to bring these people into the East Lake community that was within reach.
This is actually another bad signal.
There was wine in Kim Jong-ming's house, so he called and ordered some takeout. Several assistants were at the table. He sat down with Luo Yingshi, Jiang Hudong and Yin Zhiyuan.
Everyone was waiting for the takeaway in silence, and as soon as the takeaway arrived, Luo Yingshi opened a bottle of soju, and the other three people also followed suit.
"I still can't understand!" After a sip of wine, Jiang Hudong directly slapped the bottle on the table. "Didn't you agree to it before? You said you won't care about Zhongmin's affairs, why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye? And what if you left so quietly today, let hundreds of people in the program team do?"
"I wasn't going to leave because Brother Zhong Min came." Kim Jong-ming explained calmly. "It has nothing to do with him. I'm tired and wanted to take a break a long time ago. In addition, this time I encountered Baker, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I didn't plan to wait anymore. Otherwise, even if the contract that did not take place in the lunar year was coming, I wouldn't be planning to renew it."
This is a direct admission that I am leaving "Two Days and One Night"!
"I didn't think you couldn't endure hardships before." Luo Yingshi shook his head. "Don't fool us."
"It's because of Zhongmin?" Jiang Hudong was a little angry. In fact, he had wanted to explode several times on the way, but was suppressed by Luo Yingshi next to him. "How could you be angry because of a fool? That child has absolutely no mind and absolutely no ability to shake your position..."
"Of course I know this." Kim Jong-ming responded calmly. "So I still didn't care about Brother Zhong Min at all, even if there was a very bad conflict between us. I even said frankly that I was actually very happy about his return. Because after I left, the program team could still maintain structural balance..."
"Why is that?" Jiang Hu Donghao asked bluntly. He did not notice the silence of Yin Zhiyuan and Luo Yingshi at all.
"Because of you." Baker's sudden death disrupted all Kim Jong-ming's plans and also disrupted his usual stable and hidden mood. Now he is too lazy to hide things. "I can't stand you Kang Ho-dong, but this show is yours. It's not mine, and I'm not going to compete with you for power in this show, so I'm going to leave! Is this reason sufficient?"
Jiang Hudong was stunned for a while. He didn't expect such an answer at all. At first, he was a little panicked, so he looked at Luo Yingshi, the person he admired the most, but Luo Yingshi calmly turned the soju bottle open, then took a sip. He didn't look at him at all. So he looked at Yin Zhiyuan, who had a good relationship with him and Kim Jong-ming, but Yin Zhiyuan had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.
The attitudes of these two people immediately made Kang Ho-dong understand something, that is, Kim Jong-ming's attitude towards him has long been seen by everyone, but the problem is... why did he treat himself like this? In his opinion, there were some small conflicts between the two, because why did Lee Seung-gi and other things not happy, but why did he break up?! He had a little suppression move, but compared with a huge cake of "Two Days and One Night" level... it's really not worth mentioning!
However, after doubt and uneasiness, there are usually two consequences, one is to retreat, and the other is to rush blood. Jiang Hudong is naturally the second one! He thought Kim Jong-ming betrayed him, so he simply threw the bottle of wine in his hand.
The bottle fell on the floor and became shattered, and a louder roar was immediately followed by the sound of the wine bottle breaking: "Jin Zhongming. Tell me clearly! Xiba!"
Several assistants on Jia Chao's table were already panicked. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was a woman named Su Xiaoya who came with her, she would have been in chaos.
"Don't scold people!" Luo Yingshi scolded coldly. His status and age were not enough to suppress Jiang Hudong, but Jiang Hudong was convinced.
"How could I not scold him?" Jiang Hudong's neck was already red. He was not complaining, but rather saying that he was just trying to defend himself. "I have been taking care of him like this for so many years! I have been taking care of him on the screen since -man. He is called a ungrateful wolf!"
"The problem is here." Luo Yingshi could see it clearly. "You think he is still the little brother you brought with you, but Zhong Ming's achievements are no worse than you. He is now the best director in Korea. After he has a few years of education, he will naturally be able to become a university professor directly when he is 30 years old. If he is a professor, he can go out to elect and enter politics directly. This path is so clear. Have you done this?"
Jiang Hudong suddenly realized in his heart that this was the case. When he still regarded the other party as a younger brother, this kid was already better than him in the eyes of others. However, he would not let go easily when he was angry, and Jiang Hudong could not avoid the vulgarity, not to mention his temper, not to mention that his personality made him believe in the deepest part of his heart that Kim Jong-ming was betraying him...
"I'll ask you one thing." Jiang Hudong was obviously angry. "No matter how great you have achieved, do I have anything to do to you, Kim Jong-ming?"
"Two things, one public and one private." Unlike Kang Ho-dong's rage, Kim Jong-ming had no sign of anger from beginning to end. He has always seemed very calm from the other party to throw a bottle of wine. "Private affairs are very simple. I guaranteed Kim Jong-kook's affairs at the beginning. If you don't manage them, whoever takes the initiative will be passive. If you let him kneel down at you at Brother Hyun-dun's wedding, this thing is slapping me in the face. I can't stand this matter!"
Jiang Hudong is one of the most stagnant people.
"Business is simple," Kim Jong-ming continued. "Your alien chocolate company has acted too much and has aroused public outrage..."
Jiang Hudong snorted coldly. He glanced at Luo Yingshi who was silent next to him. He knew that he couldn't get angry at all today, so he stopped he hesitating and pushed the door away directly. His assistant quickly followed, and half of the people in the room were immediately missing.
"It's rare that you are so calm." Yin Zhiyuan was a little helpless. "I thought you were going to fight."
"No." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "I don't have the heart to care about him now. I feel very uncomfortable. I am actually very impatient with him..."
Yin Zhiyuan was speechless.
"Actually," Kim Jong-ming continued. "If there was nothing wrong with Baker today, I am going to wait to come back today to tell you about this matter... I have already told Brother Meng about this matter."
"I'm not in the mood to listen to this." Yin Zhiyuan waved his hand, and at the same time he picked up the soju bottle on the table and took a sip.
"Yes." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "You don't need to listen to this. No matter how big the storm is, it won't hit you. I just want to tell you formally."
"Where is Baker's ashes scattered at that location?" Yin Zhiyuan stood up with a bottle of wine. "I brought it to "Two Days and One Night". I don't want to care about anything now, I just want to go and see it..."
In this way, Yin Zhiyuan and his agent also left, leaving only Luo Yingshi and Jia Chao, and Su Xiaoya, the only ones left in the room.
After being silent for a long time, Luo Yingshi spoke first: "Zhong Ming, if you want to leave me, I have nothing to say. That is your freedom, and we only have feelings and no hatred. Moreover, with your current status, I have no right to say anything about you..."
Luo Yingshi's words were interrupted by a severe headache on the back of his head. Yes, it was a headache, the physical headache. Even though Luo Yingshi had always been clear-headed and quick-thinking, he jumped into an ice hole last night and rushed here early in the morning with the snow. With this incident, he was actually very exhausted at the moment.
"But have you ever thought about it?" After a little slow down, Luo Yingshi asked the words he kept in his heart as if he was venting. "No matter what happened to you and Jiang Hudong, what should I do with "Two Days and One Night"?"
Kim Jong-ming opened his mouth. He actually wanted to tell the other party that the show had reached its peak and it was natural to decline. However, when he thought of the hard work and hardship of the entire program team in the past two years, he could not say anything.
After all, when it comes to Kang Ho-dong's incident, Kim Jong-ming actually has moral confidence in asking himself, because Kang Ho-dong took the lead in deviating from his friends and himself because of his rise. The so-called person who left and "betrayed" was him! However, facing Luo Ying-shi's questioning, Kim Jong-ming was the one who betrayed him.
That’s right, except death, all departures are betrayal. In today’s case, the only one who has a clear conscience was to stare at himself before he died and question Baker who had been asking him all morning. And this is what Baker taught him today!
"It seems that you have thought about this problem." Luo Yingshi looked at the silent Kim Jong-ming and understood everything at once. "Baker's matter is a good reason. You will send a notice tomorrow. Our program team will cooperate... Sacrifice!"
After saying that, Luo Yingshi also stood up and said goodbye.
"You guys go back too!" Seeing Luo Yingshi leaving, Jin Zhongming waved without hesitation, asking Jia Chao and Su Xiaoya to leave their house.
Because, he couldn't wait to hide himself quietly.
