Chapter 005 Mature
ps1: The South China Sea belongs to China, and it is also in Wanwan, and Luzon, there is no doubt about this.
"Coffee for two." In an obviously library-themed cafe in Apgujeong, the waiter with flat glasses smiled and served two cups of coffee on the table with several books.
"Thank you." *2.
Thanks to Kim Jong-ming and Choi Soo-young.
"You...really signed Jun Ji-hyun?" As soon as the waiter left, Soo-young immediately continued to ask Kim Jong-ming in a slightly incredible tone. The two met on a nearby street when Kim Jong-ming returned to his residence, and then naturally went to the next cafe to chat.
"Is there any problem with signing her?" Kim Jong-ming was a little puzzled by Soo-young's attitude.
"Do you know her boyfriend..." Xiuying asked tentatively.
"Choe Junhyuk." Kim Jong-ming was a little dissatisfied. "I found his brother Choe Jun-ho, and I took the brine and ordered tofu. His brother was eager to see his sister-in-law being controlled by others."
Sooyoung was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and picked up the cup: "So, Senior Jun Ji-hyun signed your company to Sai Cheng, the real manager of her in-laws?"
"Not all." Kim Jong-ming shook her head. "She is a little self-righteous in doing things. She has too many tricks. It is meaningless except for being annoying. I exposed her in person and asked Zheng Xuntuo to take care of her contract..."
Xiuying lowered her head and said nothing.
"I know what you are thinking." Kim Jong-ming looked up at the girl sitting opposite her. "But, others don't understand, you, a child who grew up in a group of people named Choi in Cheongtandong, don't you understand?"
"It's just a little uncomfortable." Xiuying suddenly felt a little tired. "In my long-term impression, the image of you and Teacher Li Xiuman has no overlap. You have always been a sunny brother who looks a little irritable on the outside, and the teacher is the person who is usually gentle but always becomes a tyrant when encountering serious things. But now the images of you two actually overlap... Do you know what I mean?"
"I understand." Kim Jong-ming nodded. "I thought about a similar question yesterday, but I didn't think about comparing myself to Lee Soo-man. I was thinking about Jeon Ji-hyun."
"Oh?" Sooyoung felt a little excited. "What's wrong with her?"
"Jun Ji-hyun should be young, too." Kim Jong-ming lowered her head and smiled. "When she first entered this circle as a teenager, she should be so pure, she should feel disgusted with some things, and she should have fantasized about some things. But when she reaches the age of 30, when she faces her rest for the rest of her life, she can still slap people who have been in love with her for many years, and then almost instinctively make fun of all kinds of tricks along the way... But who can still say that she is a bad guy? What others do is just to have a good plan, not break the law or harm others... But, after years of hard work and influence in the entertainment industry, she has taken some means and behaviors for granted."
"It sounds like it means something." Sooyoung laughed. "Are you hinting at something?"
"No." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "I'm just talking about myself. No matter how pure a person is, he will naturally learn the methods of wolves when dealing with a group of wolves all day long, and this kind of learning is involuntary and uncontrollable. In fact, it is right for you to say that I am like Li Xiuman. I just have too many times and time to fight him, so slowly his way of doing things is involuntarily transmitted to me. At least, on the so-called fundamental belonging issue, I do not leave anyone else like Li Xiuman. I still recognize the word "tyrant".
"But it's okay." Xiuying forced a smile. "Actually, you are a little tougher on this most basic issue. In other aspects, you are much more kind than Teacher Li Xiuman. At least you are much more generous to those artists when it comes to money..."
"How are you sharing the difference now?" Kim Jong-ming noticed Soo-young's expression and began to take the initiative to give up the previous serious topic. He smiled at the other party. "Maomao drove my car to buy things a few days ago. After he came back, he actually shouted that he wanted to change my car, but I took it back."
"It's the same as the old group who has debuted for three years." Xiuying shook her head. "When it comes to buying a car, although we are popular and have high endorsement costs, we really don't have to care about the money for buying a car compared to other girl groups, but in fact, the first one to buy a car was Sikaoni. Her BMW was bought back in a daze..."
"Can't you buy it?" Kim Jong-ming was a little confused. He vaguely remembered that Sika's new car had not been bought for a long time.
"No, no!" Xiuying sighed helplessly. "Everyone can afford a car, but you have to calculate the time. We only had some money at this time last year, and we only had a little free time at the end of last year. Then there is the album "Oh". Even if you have money, where can you get the time and energy to buy a decent car? And so what if you buy it? Not a boy, you are born with a feeling about the car and don't have the intention to drive... That is, Sikaoni has that casual capital!"
"Soo Young..." Kim Jong-ming finally couldn't bear it. "What's wrong with you today? You looked tired? Logically speaking, you should be the easiest time now, right? You have never had many notices, and compared to others who need to learn Japanese, you don't need to spend any effort in this regard at all, right? Why do you feel so tired like this?"
Xiuying wanted to speak but stopped.
"I don't want to forget it." Jin Zhongming was a little helpless. "I just felt that the spirit that had just been excited was defeated by you again."
Xiuying looked at the other party strangely, and finally spoke: "It's just something at home, I'm exhausted."
The corners of Jin Zhongming's eyes moved slightly.
"If I were asked to go to the announcement or play songs for a long time, I would definitely not be as tired as I am now." Xiuying complained with her arms and her forehead, and then yawned without any image. "But my mother insisted that I attend various banquets and salons everywhere like a lady..."
Jin Zhongming smiled. It was really difficult for the other party to do this. He knew very well that the other party’s tomboy attributes were very strong.
"This should be the field that my sister is good at." Sooyoung continued to complain. "But no matter how I say I am much more famous now than my sister, so my mother often drags me to me. It was quite fresh when I was busy before, but I never ended up freely."
"Well." Kim Jong-ming smiled. "So why are you participating in these activities so frequently? You can't participate in it for the sake of participation, right?"
"My father has retired and is now helping with the RP Foundation..." Xiuying put away her smile. "Even if a daughter is not used to it, she always needs to help with some of her busyness."
Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned.
Speaking of the fact that Koreans have a tradition of unconditionally compromising to work during their work period, and also have the concept of retirement very early and regarding retirement as the beginning of truly enjoying life. In fact, Koreans' pensions have always been a huge sum of money. For example, the second largest shareholder of SM Company is the Pension Management Committee. In this case, it is also considered a very proud thing for artists' parents to give up their pensions and choose to retire very early. When their children are rich, why do parents still get drunk in the workplace every week?
However, this is very proud of other families, which is very abnormal for Sooyoung's family, because their family is not big or small, is a chaebol. The rich man named Choi from South Korea is all huddled in the Chingdam cave, which basically makes you dizzy when you look at it. However, Sooyoung's grandfather is indeed qualified to occupy a prominent position in it. Her grandfather not only has a foundation in the real estate company, but also a lot of heavy industrial wealth has been passed by the Daewoo Group that collapsed before. In fact, as far as Kim Jong-ming knows, those wealth was once handed over to Sooyoung's father to take care of, which has almost determined the status of her father's successor... But now he has retired and has also gone to his own special foundation for eye disease, which means nothing more than what it means.
"Have your father's eyes reached that point?" Kim Jong-ming sighed. Soo-young's father has really nothing to do with this point, just because he suffers from the so-called RP disease - a retinal disease that cannot be cured or stopped in medicine. In other words, her father will sooner or later be blind and cannot escape.
"I don't know what to do." Xiuying's mood completely fell down. The calmness that she had been trying to maintain before, or that was forcing her to hold on, finally disappeared. "My grandfather told me yesterday, I really hope I'm a boy! My mother simply kept saying to me, I really hope I'm a boy! But I'm not. Grandpa must give all the property in the family to my uncle. Now I can only do my best to help my father promote his foundation... nothing else can be helped."
Jin Zhongming didn't know what to say.
"Do you know?" Soo-young looked up at Kim Jong-ming. "I thought I would live a life with a plan, restraint, ideas, and quality at one time. But at this time I realized that I was actually no different from Jun Ji-hyun, the one you just said. I am afraid that my biggest reliance in my life is to look forward to finding a good husband... I even have a lot less capital than Jun Ji-hyun."
"Don't say that." Jin Zhongming felt bad either. "It's not that the family is in trouble, how can you eat less? You just feel unwilling to be unable to share your parents' worries as a girl."
"You are right." Xiuying forced a smile. "I'm really thinking too much. Actually, I've known my father's illness for a long time... I'm just a little bit of emotion."
Jin Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm leaving, I made an appointment with my sister to go to the opera. Well... I've said so much." Xiuying pondered for a moment. "I actually wanted to tell you from the beginning. Are you interested in coming to my house in the evening? The foundation will have a salon tonight, and I'll take you to meet a few of my friends..."
"Forget it." After hesitating for seven or eight seconds, Kim Jong-ming still gave such an answer. "You know my habits, it's really hard to adapt to that kind of occasion."
"Okay." Xiuying nodded and said goodbye without saying anything.
Perhaps he didn't want to see the slightly tired back of this girl he had known for ten years. Jin Zhongming took his head away and turned on a chicken soup magazine on the table. As soon as he opened it, the colored title page of the magazine was filled with a very stingy nonsense:
Everyone has their own world. It can hide many people, several people, and there are also the integration of multiple emotions, which are formed in different living environments.
However, overall, as you grow older, the world is destined to be less naive and happy, and more worries. Moreover, in this process, all kinds of people participate, some reluctant people leave, some people experience the ups and downs of the years with you, and some people leave in a hurry... But it doesn't matter, because in the end, this world will only leave a broken self to bury all my memories...
"What kind of shit is not messing with things?" Jin Zhongming threw the book under the table while the waiter was not paying attention, and stepped on it hard.
