Chapter 214
On the morning of March 4th, Sunday, Zheng’s mother’s cafe.
There were not many customers, and Baker was squatting on a chair in front of a coffee table. On the table was facing it was a laptop, and outside the glass wall not far away, a large group of customers were scrambling to take pictures of the big dog. To be honest, this made Baker, who was typing on the computer, a little confused... It really didn't know why his claws were picked up and pressed on the things in front of him, which attracted so many people to watch him?
"Ermao!" Zheng's mother couldn't stand it anymore. "Don't break your brother's copywriting, that's what you need to use in your school's college entrance lectures."
"I'm helping him revise it to make his speech more intimate with our high school students' mentality." Krystal, who was standing next to Baker, defended him dissatisfiedly, and did not forget to raise Baker's paws and waved to the crowd outside the window.
Now, the reaction outside the wall became more enthusiastic, and Baker became more confused.
"Don't find reasons randomly. That's to preach to parents. The main thing is Seoul University's admission policy, not to give speeches to your students!" Ms. Li Jingshu's face was instantly dark. "What should I do if I make a mess of changes?"
"Mom, where is Wood?" Seeing his mother's face dark, Krystal quickly saved the document wisely, and then pushed the innocent Baker down from the stool. "Why put half of the copywriting here?"
"Run into the back door alley and smoking." Zheng's mother couldn't help frowning. "It seems like she's in a bad mood."
"Not it?" Krystal replied in surprise. "This kind of thing is just a small ass for him? Are there any manuscripts... what's wrong with him?"
"Who knows, maybe it's something else?" Zheng's mother replied helplessly. "He has so many things now, and he's very confused..."
"It wasn't that the quarrel with Chulong and Ouni yesterday?" Krystal shook his head slightly, and didn't know where to get inspiration. "Do you know what I know about Chulong and Ouni's birthday yesterday, and Wood didn't go home all night..."
"No, yesterday was fine." Zheng's mother responded casually. "He didn't go back to Apgujeong last night because he took Chu Long to Jiangbei. We didn't prepare a gift and even gave Chu Long a red envelope, and then they slept at our house..."
"oh!"
"And Ermao." Zheng's mother suddenly looked up. "Don't always smile. When it comes to college admission, I really want to ask you, do you have a school you like? What kind of promises are you going to give me in the college entrance examination?"
Krystal immediately lost fire.
Nothing else, although Zheng Ermao's children's boots asked himself that his grades were good, and no matter which school the artist would take care of, it would be fine to say that famous schools were fine, but... As a senior high school student, how could he dare to boast about the college entrance examination eight months before the college entrance examination? Besides, the reason why senior high school students are hard-working is largely because there is a helpless existence of the "parents of senior high school students" at home.
In this way, Kim Jong-ming was in a bad mood in the morning, but when he drove Krystal to the high school affiliated to Hanyang University at noon, the brother and sister felt a little depressed.
"What's wrong?" Jin Zhongming asked expressionlessly while driving.
"I spent a whole morning talking to me in the corner of the cafe, from Sky to Sungkyunkwan, Xijiang, and the pear blossom woman... I'm so big now." Krystal also replied expressionlessly.
"Actually, there is no need to be too stressed." Kim Jong-ming replied after thinking for a while. "All these six are OK. If they really don't, you can go to Central University. The discounts given to artists there are almost catching up with Dongguo University!"
"Dongguo University?" krystal curled his lips in dissatisfaction. "Whoever is a little qualified person to go to Dongguo University?"
"This sentence makes Yoona or Eun-jing smile the most when she hears it." Kim Jong-ming replied lightly. "Seo Hyun will definitely be anxious about you!"
"Xu Xian-Onie is really unaware of reading." Krystal shook her head helplessly. "It's so painful."
"Just say this here." Kim Jong-ming quickly interrupted the other party's feelings. "Xiaoxian at least knows that studying hard... is much better than those who only know how to show off."
krystal: "…"
"What's wrong?"
"Wood." Krystal suddenly said. "When you say this, I remember something I encountered online a few days ago."
"you say."
"I saw a marnet tearing up against each other online. My sister's fans and Xu Xian's fans were talking about this topic. One mocked him, "I was so studious but I even entered Dongguo University." Another mocked him, "A person who graduated from high school is not qualified to mock college students."
"What's the matter?!" Kim Jong-ming was speechless. "You are also an idol. Are those things between fans still a big deal? I have also seen your fans and your sister's fans on the Chinese website!"
"I have seen it, but it's Korean website."
"Listen to me." Kim Jong-ming continued, holding back his smile. "That two people were fighting each other in the forum. In the end, your fans had too poor combat effectiveness, so they could only swear at your sister's fans... Do you know how that person scolded?"
"Why did you scold me?" Krystal shook his head and refused to care.
"Your idol dies in your whole family."
“…”
"How?" Jin Zhongming asked jokingly.
"My fans' IQ is definitely not that bad." Zheng Ermao replied with confidence. "Wood, you must have remembered it wrong. The one who said this must be his sister's fans."
“It makes sense!”
Taking advantage of the fact that Sika was not here, the brother and sister in a bad mood finally smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the car finally became much more relaxed.
By the way, the sudden news from Hong Shengcheng did have a great impact on Kim Jong-ming. It was fine last night, but after sending Chu Long back to the dormitory today, he felt irritable and powerless.
To be calm, the president of the UB, Lao Hong, is both a collaborator, but also an undoubted competitor to Kim Jong-ming. Even if you think about it carefully, the identity of the opponent is far greater than that of the partner. Because, as the controller of the basic human resources base when the company was established, as long as Hong Shengcheng was in one day, the huge UB would be unlikely to be integrated into his own private property by Kim Jong-ming... In fact, Kim Jong-ming has not conducted any temptations, but the other party's solid bottom line, neither soft nor hard attitude, appropriate and timely concessions, and excellent management skills have forced him to retreat.
But then again, after hearing that there was something wrong with the other party's physical condition, Kim Jong-ming felt really at a loss and anxious.
Because, as he revealed last night, his career will reach the most critical point this year to next year, so Kim Jong-ming didn't think about taking it in one bite, and on the contrary, he really needs someone who can take charge of the overall situation to help him catch the general... Take a step back and say that even if you don't expect UB to provide assistance in this process, at least you must be able to stabilize the situation and ensure that there is no chaos?
However, the current situation is that on the one hand, Hong Shengcheng's departure in the second half of the year has become a foregone conclusion, which concerns his health and life, and there is no way out. On the other hand, after Hong Shengcheng left, who will take the overall responsibility on UB and who will manage such a large company? This makes people feel extremely headache and helpless!
There must be someone who wants to catch the general? But who can have this ability and prestige? You can't let yourself do it yourself, right? Where does this time and energy come from? And if you let Hong Shengcheng use remote control, or simply let the Ube fall into a pause, then who can guarantee that there will be no trouble?
In short, all kinds of thoughts, various powerlessness and problems came to my mind one by one, and there were some other messy things, which made Kim Jong-ming, who was writing the speech, lose his composure and go to the back door of the cafe to smoke after halfway through it.
"Actually, Wood." After pausing for a while, Krystal brought up the old story again. "What I just said is not to refer to fans' choking themselves, it's meaningless. I want to say... Now the rumors of internal strife in my sister are flying everywhere, and people are already panic. Do you say you won't be able to make a mistake in the end, and you really do something?"
"What can happen?" Kim Jong-ming asked speechlessly. "After all, the only ones that are really problematic is Yoona and Yuri. Do you think they have other efforts to make trouble except for two TV series? Even if there is, is Lee Soo-man a vegetarian or am I a vegetarian?"
"That's right." Krystal curled his lips. "Poor two young ladies, one is smarter than the other, and one is more characterful than the other. In the end, you played with applause..."
"Are you an evil boss?" Kim Jong-ming asked jokingly. "Okay, I'm here to school. It's a rare opportunity to take me, the 'parent' to meet your classmate..."
Krystal is naturally not impossible.
After talking for a long time, Kim Jong-ming and Krystal were going to attend the so-called "New College Entrance Examination College Entrance Policy Promotion Conference". This is a parent meeting organized by the school shortly after the start of the spring semester of each year, the Ministry of Education of South Korea issued relevant policies for the new year's college entrance examination.
Due to the extreme importance that Koreans attach to college entrance examinations and college admissions, this parent meeting may be the most important parent meeting for Korean students in their lives.
In fact, although this year's admission policy is only a thin two-page paper and is no different from last year's, this parent meeting is indeed very complicated. The teachers in the middle were enthusiastic, the parents had many problems, and there were also an unknown so-called "experts with deep educational backgrounds" like Kim Jong-ming to give a speech... Finally, the lecture that started at 1:30 was not over until 5:30.
But it was still not over after the end. Many parents who were worried about gains and losses continued to ask questions around the teachers. Among them, although Kim Jong-ming is also a parent, he came to the stage as a veteran and gave a speech (this is also his alma mater), so many parents even asked some questions around him.
It is natural that Kim Jong-ming couldn't show his face. On the contrary, he had to greet him with a smile and seriously repeated some answers that he had repeated many times.
In this way, it was not until seven o'clock that the sky turned completely dark and even the street lights were on. Kim Jong-ming and Krystal were able to escape and drive home.
However, when the door was opened and the light was turned on, the brother and sister were thumping in their hearts, almost scared by the situation in front of them! By the way, the two were surprised to find that a Baker was lying on the sofa, and they were staring at the two owners who had just entered the door with an innocent look on their faces. But apart from that, there was not even a ghost in the room, which was so weird!
"Who brought it back?" Krystal looked around, but did not notice any obvious movement. "Shouldn't you be in the cafe? I'm mom?"
Except for the living room, there was no light on at all, so naturally no one responded to Zheng Ermao's shout.
"Did you go back to Jiangbei after putting Baker in?" After shouting twice, there was no result. Krystal scratched his head helplessly, and could only think about it.
"Not right?" Kim Jong-ming tilted his head and stared at Baker who was motionless. "Baker is such an honest child, who dares not go on the sofa without orders? My mother wouldn't let it lie on the sofa, right? And she still doesn't move when she sees us coming in, and she is so aggrieved, it's really weird!"
"Has the dog legs been broken?" Zheng Ermao had a sudden idea and actually ran over to sit on the sofa to touch Baker's four legs. "The hind legs are fine, both hind legs are fine, the left front legs are also fine, the right front legs... Mom! Wood! I'm scared to death!"
Jin Zhongming took a deep breath powerlessly. With Ermao's shock, he finally saw clearly what was going on. On the floor on the side of the sofa, there was a person lying on the floor that was blocked by the coffee table and the sofa. It was Sika. The girl was spinning back and forth with her hands, holding up Baker's right front leg hanging from the edge of the sofa... Uh, it was like a boring puppy.
However, the problem lies here! This picture is indeed a bit wrong, because according to the healing style, you, the hostess, shouldn't be sleeping on the sofa, and then Baker, the dog, holds your arm back and forth with two legs below? What does it mean to lie there?
However, because there are too many places to complain, Kim Jong-ming didn't know where to ask.
In fact, after a while, he hugged Zheng Ermao, who was still a little shocked, and asked helplessly: "Why didn't the lights turn on?"
"Wood." Sika continued to lie boredly and play with Baker's paws, without any intention of getting up. "Tell you something."
"You talk." After pushing krystal and letting the other party turn on the lights everywhere, Kim Jong-ming sat directly next to Baker.
"It's almost the fifth anniversary, and the company is considering the new way of survival for Girls' Generation."
"I know this, you have said it too, it's a small team."
"Yes, the music department's team." Sika finally sat up from the floor. "Today, Teacher Li Xiuman summoned five lead singers and said that if more than half of the number of people, it would embarrass other members and would have problems. So he asked who would want to join and who would want to quit...sunny..."
"Sunny will definitely choose to quit." Kim Jong-ming leaned comfortably on Baker's back. "No need to think about this, she doesn't have the intention, and she doesn't want to scheming..."
"Yeah." Sika stood up and her face looked as usual and reached out and scratched Baker's chin. "Sunny was the first to express that she didn't want to participate, and Taeyeon, Pani and Xiaoxian also expressed her opinion on the spot, hoping to continue to move on the music. As for me... I hesitated for a moment, and said that I hope I could consider it again."
Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned.
"Teacher Li Xiuman told me that this team will release the album as planned in early May." Sika sighed slightly, and then sat down and leaned on Baker's back as he imitated Kim Jong-ming. "So, he wants me to make a decision within two weeks! Wood, what should I do?"
Chapter completed!
