Since becoming a singer, Ahn Jun-hyuk quit smoking, and instead began to like tea, brewing a cup when he has a little free time, putting it aside, waiting for the tea leaves to soak in boiling water, gradually stretching the leaves, waiting for the soup to slowly become verdant, waiting for it to cool down to the temperature of the mouth, then taking a sip, the bitterness and the slight sweetness stimulate the taste buds.

For him, this is a rare little treat.

Watching "My Name is Jin Sanshun", the same is true, the whole room is very quiet, only occasionally there is the slight friction sound of the pages turning, and the rustling of gently sucking the tea soup.

Time passed, and I don't know how long it took, and the piercing ringtone of the mobile phone rang suddenly.

Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was disturbed, looked up, and on the sofa on the other side of the room, Kwon Bo-geun, who was not very interested in romance novels and was almost asleep, was so frightened by the bell that he almost fell to the ground. Smiled a little embarrassedly, Quan Baogen wiped his face, picked up the phone, and tried to lower his voice: "Hey?"

But in the next moment, the voice suddenly rose again: "What?"

Ahn Junhyuk looked at it suspiciously, recently the head was decided by the buttocks, and gradually began to learn to pretend to be a profound Quan Baogen, at this time, a look of surprise, the corner of his eyes swept to An Junhyuk's puzzled expression, he hurriedly walked over, pressed the amplification button, and put the phone on the desk.

With a faint telecommunication noise, a deep voice was explaining: "...... I'm really sorry, but Ahn Junhyuk was injured, we didn't include this clause in the contract we negotiated at the beginning, the company's new products are about to go off the assembly line, just wait for the new advertising film to be promoted, and if it continues like this, I can't explain it. I'm so sorry, Mr. Kwon, it's a pity that we can't continue to work together......"

Before the man finished speaking, Quan Baogen hurriedly interrupted him: "Didn't you say the day before yesterday that it was good? You also promised to extend it for half a month, why is it that the new product is about to be rolled off the assembly line?"

“…… I'm sorry!toot-"

"Hey, hey...... Hey!" Quan Baogen grabbed his mobile phone and was about to dial it back again, when the ringtone suddenly rang again.

On the caller ID, it was a completely different number from just now, he watched the number jump on the screen in a daze, and forced a premonition of uneasiness in his heart to connect:

"Mr. Kwon Bo Geun, our company officially informs you that in view of Mr. Ahn Jun Hyuk's current injury and his inability to work in a short period of time, the company regrets that we have decided to terminate the advertising contract with him, and hope to have the opportunity to ......cooperate next time."

"But ......"

"I'm sorry!

"Jingle bell—"

"Hello, Mr. Kwon Bo-geun, I take the liberty of interrupting me. Although it feels a little regrettable, I would like to inform you ......"

"Jingle bell—"

“…………”

Six in a row, answering the phone repeatedly, each time he answered one, Quan Baogen felt that his fingers were a little heavier, until the sixth answer, he suddenly put down the phone, his body was heavy on the desk, his body was almost paralyzed, and his expression was dazed.

Inexplicably, I don't know what's going on at all, these days, he has received the largest advertising endorsement contracts for Ahn Junhyuk, and in just a few minutes, almost all of them have called and verbally terminated the contract.

Obviously, on the day Ahn Junhyuk was injured, he called him one by one to explain, hoping that when they were lenient, they all agreed very happily, why did they suddenly change their hexagrams?

He didn't understand, he didn't understand, things happened so fast that before the chaotic mind even turned a corner, nearly 2 billion won disappeared in a few phone calls. This is the most successful business negotiation he has led since Ahn Jun Hyuk's debut, many days of hard work, many days of vision for the future, and it is gone in the blink of an eye?

Kwon felt like his chest was about to explode.

KRW 2 billion...... Even if he only took a tenth of it, it would have been about $150,000, which would have been the company's biggest profit from its artists in the last two years since it lost its myth, with the exception of BoA in rìben.

But now it's all in vain.

Gasping for a moment in a panic, Kwon Bo-geun looked at Ahn Jun-hyuk, who had been staring at his phone and didn't know what he was thinking, snorted and said in a panic...... What the hell is going on?"

"......" Ahn Jun-hyuk was silent, only the hand holding the book, and subconsciously rubbed the rustling sound made by the cover, indicating that he was thinking.

Kwon Bo-geun waited anxiously, but fortunately, it didn't take long for Ahn Jun-hyuk to put down the book in his hand and asked, "Are there any people in these companies who have terminated the contract with whom you are more familiar?"

"Uh...... No, there is no ......."

"So what about these companies, and are there any big orders for me?"

Kwon Baogen was stunned, he was suddenly hit so hard, his thinking was confused, how could he remember, so he had to hurriedly go through the memo in his briefcase, check it for a while, and then hurriedly replied: "There is also an endorsement for a men's clothing brand, and the endorsement fee is 200 million won...... The other party did not call. ”

"You call them and ask them if anyone has approached them today and wants to get their endorsement contract?"

Hearing this, Kwon Bo Gen, who had just prepared to dial according to his instructions, was stunned with a surprised expression: "Jun Hyuk, you mean, someone is blocking us?"

"Heh, I can't think of anything else than that. An Junhyuk seemed to be smiling, "I was talking about good things, but suddenly all of them changed, doing business is not a child's house, replacing me as a spokesperson, even if they use my injury as an excuse and do not pay liquidated damages, it is not without a price." At least the commercial shooting plan they originally planned based on my image had to be reversed and restarted...... No one interferes, do you think those companies are well fed?"

The more he listened to him, the more ugly Quan Baogen's face became, and he didn't care about asking more, dialed the contact number recorded on the memo, and as soon as he asked after connecting, the person in charge over there really replied: "...... Yes, there is such a thing, but the company did not agree after research, the other party's personal image is not suitable for our new men's clothing style, and we have signed a contract with Mr. Ahn Jun Hyuk, even if the other party's conditions are very attractive to the company's senior management, but the company's reputation is greater than everything, and we will not do such a thing as breaking the contract......"

Regardless of the other party's words, there is some truth or falsehood, at least they do not mean to break the contract, and they can keep this list, Quan Baogen is already very grateful, and it is naturally a thank you on the phone.

There is no need to ask who the blocker is, even if he asks, he will not answer, and he can tell him the facts, it is the obligation of the company over there as a collaborator, but this obligation does not include revealing the identity of the blocker, after all, the blocker may also become their partner in the future, and there is no need to offend to the end.

It's just that the person in charge on the other side of the phone doesn't seem to care much about this, and before hanging up the phone, Ruo reminded him meaningfully: "Mr. Quan, I hope that you and your company will solve the turmoil that is now entangled around Mr. Ahn Junhyuk as soon as possible. ”

There are many things that don't need to be pointed out, just this sentence, and Quan Baogen suddenly came over.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately slammed his fist on the desk and gritted his teeth:

“Rain…… JYP！”

I should have thought that the only people who could do this kind of thing are the current ones with Ahn Jun Hyuk and S· The conflict between M company and JYP is fierce, but he did not expect that the other party's retaliation is so fierce and extreme - every industry has unspoken rules that are not included in the explicit, and one of the unspoken rules of brokerage companies is not to intervene in the negotiated contract, which is to avoid advertisers from bargaining left and right, leading to market chaos and losing everyone's interests.

But JYP is obviously reckless now, listening to the meaning of the words of the previous person in charge, JYP is afraid that in order to stop the contract, I am afraid that some of the benefits have been ceded, such a pure, naked and evil xìng competition, it is simply crazy.

"This damn Pu Kuroko!" Kon cursed as he paced back and forth impatiently, pondering how to get it back. However, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who is the party concerned, did not take this matter to heart, seeing his anxious appearance, he said half laughing and half comforting: "Some endorsements are just some endorsements, just lose it, anyway, my value is still rising, and there will be a chance to scrape it back in the future." ”

Kwon Bo Geun looked at him stunned, expressing incomprehension of his calmness.

How does he know that Ahn Jun-hyuk doesn't look down on those endorsement fees at all, every day he stays, his popularity rises by one point, although those endorsements are all short-term, but the price is really not even qualified for him to squeeze a glance, if it is not for the consideration that it is not suitable to confront the company now, he is too lazy to agree to take them.

It was just what he wanted to be snatched away, and it was convenient for him to rest for a while.

And what he didn't tell Kwon Bo-gen was that JYP's move this time might just be a demonstration, first using Rain's popularity to overwhelm him, make him understand the gap between them, and let him intuitively feel the pressure he can't resist, and then reveal their true purpose.

He has long been proficient in similar methods, and he can see it through at a glance.

Sure enough, in the evening, the news that a number of companies had terminated the endorsement contract with Ahn Junhyuk at the same time came out, and when it caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, a person who had not been in touch for a long time called Ahn Junhyuk.

Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was still leisurely reading the book and reading the script, looked like he was light, and the moment he saw the name flashing on the mobile phone screen, he immediately picked it up respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Kyung-hee." ”

It was Lee Kyung-hee who called, and Ahn Jun-hyuk respected the teacher who had always defended him and firmly supported him even when everyone doubted him. But because he didn't succeed in helping him ease the relationship with Rain last time, Li Qingxi was always angry and ashamed to face him, even if he found an opportunity to call to greet him, most of them didn't answer, and it has been more than 2 months since the last call.

This sudden contact is obviously related to his affair with Rain.

"Junhyuk, ah......" After his greeting, after a pause, Lee Kyung-hee hesitated and said, "What's wrong with you and Ji-hoon? In the past two days, there has been a lot of news about your disagreement, is there any misunderstanding?"

Ahn Jun Hyuk smiled: "It's a little misunderstanding, Ji Hoon's predecessor was injured, President Park Jin Young suspected that it was my fans who did it, and the rhetoric was a bit fierce, and my agency was dissatisfied with his attitude, and the wording was tougher." In fact, there is no conflict, it is all misunderstandings and misunderstandings, which makes the relationship a little tense, you don't have to worry. ”

"That's right...... I'll just say it!" Li Qingxi smiled very relieved, "You two children, I brought you to the debut, you are well-behaved and sensible, how can there be such a big contradiction, even the fight and killing have been rumored." Last time, Zhixun didn't agree to your invitation to dinner, I scolded him a few times later, and he also knew that he was wrong, no, this time he took the initiative to contact me, I want to meet you, and tell me the misunderstanding, you are all good boys, and the age difference is not big, you can be good friends!"

Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled slightly wryly at the teacher's wishful thinking, but he would not expose the so-called misunderstanding lie in front of her, so he promised again and again that he would meet with Rain and have a good chat.

Got the place of meeting from her mouth, and asked with concern how his body was recently, and when the line was closed, Ahn Junhyuk shook his head and smiled.

JYP's side really used the remaining means for him, but probably because of the relationship between the regular company, there was still a little room for negotiation...... Although in his opinion, this is really a redundant move, but it's good to meet, since last year's KBS Acting Awards, he and Rain haven't met in person, for Lee Kyung-hee's sake, plus he also wants to explore JYP's plans, just meet when they meet!

After cleaning up a little and calling Won-sung, Ahn Jun-hyuk left the company.

……

The place of the appointment, in a Mercedes Donalds near JYP, is actually a short distance from S· Company M is not far away, more than 10 minutes walk, walk to the end of the street, downhill corner.

Ahn Joon-hyuk has been there many times, and when he first entered S· When M became a trainee, he would pass by that store in the car where he lived, and he would buy a few donuts there for a few mornings as snacks to replenish his strength during the day's practice.

It's kind of familiar.

Chūn was cold and cold, but it was convenient for him to wear a mask and sunglasses, blending in with the crowd without being obtrusive, and Yuan Cheng, who was also walking, followed closely behind him, and the evening traffic was like a shuttle, and the fiery clouds hung in the distant sky behind him, and the afterglow of the setting sun made them more gorgeous, casting the orange light onto this busy road.

When I arrived at the Donalds, the neon lights were already lit up in the afterglow, the business in the store was very hot, there were more schools nearby, and it was the peak time for school to go, parents were picking desserts inside, children outside the store were screaming and playing, and occasionally three or two junior high school students came from the west side of this small street, apparently taking advantage of the end of school to go to the west side of JYP to squat a little fan.

Holding a child who almost hit him, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was rubbing his hair under the gaze of the child's mother, Jǐngti, smiled and walked into the store.

The store was basically full, and after a glance, he immediately found Rain in the corner with the same mask and sunglasses, dressed very tightly, but actually looked very suspicious in the store, beckoned to him with a smile, and motioned to Won Sung to help him order a cup of coffee, Ahn Junhyuk came to Rain and bowed slightly: "Hello senior!"

Regardless of what he thinks in his heart, he will always do the etiquette enough.

Rain, with her eyes hidden behind her sunglasses, looked at him for a moment, then tilted her head and motioned for him to sit down.

"The first time I met you, I didn't think that one day we would sit together. ”

Since Ahn Jun-hyuk sat down, Rain, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "A few months ago, you wanted to reconcile with me through Mr. Lee Kyung-hee, do you know what my first feeling was at that time?"

Ahn Jun-hyuk, who took off his mask, took out a wet hand towel to wipe his hands, and looked at him lightly, without answering, and did not need to answer, Rain sneered: "I was thinking, this guy is joking? He, a newcomer who has just debuted, has the qualifications to propose reconciliation to me first? instead of apologizing or making amends? It's ridiculous!" But I must admit that I was wrong at that time, underestimating the speed of your growth, I didn't expect that you had grown to the point where you were qualified to meet me face to face, and what surprised me even more was your fans, which is crazy......"

Sighing, he took off his sunglasses suddenly, revealing his eyes that still had a dark face, and a scar on his forehead!

He leaned his head over, his bloodshot eyes stared at Ahn Junhyuk tightly, his dark pupils seemed to be a dark cloud that crushed the city, his fingers tightened, and he pointed hard at the scar on his forehead, word by word: "Do you know how many stitches there are here?"

"Do you know that I was almost disfigured?"

"Do you know that this wound is only 1 centimeter from the eye?"

"Do you know that I'm almost ruined for the rest of my life!"

A question, bursting out of his low guttural voice, was filled with the huge panic and anger that was still left, the anger almost burned in his eyes, and the terrifying flames swallowed Ahn Junhyuk's reflection in his eyes.

Ahn Jun-hyuk looked at him with a hideous face, his face expressionless.

"Hand her over!" After a moment's breath, Rain hid his anger, tilted his head, and said in a cold tone: "I know that the girl who took the picture is the one who planned to attack me!As long as you hand her over, I will let you go, all the contracts will be returned to you, and I will even give you more endorsement compensation, Samsung, SK, LG, Pepsi...... I can cooperate with you for these endorsements that others dream of, as long as ...... You hand her over!"

His voice is low and hoarse, full of temptations that are hard to refuse, those endorsements, just take out one of them, they are more than a billion, billions of numbers, they are the fruits of his years of hard work, he doesn't believe that any artist can give up such a close and easy to get interest.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Ahn Jun-hyuk, waiting for the reaction he wanted to see.

In the silence, the waiter brought Ahn Junhyuk's hand-ground black coffee, the temperature was just right, Ahn Junhyuk took a sip, unlike the rich nǎi aroma of instant coffee with a lot of additives, it was very bitter, which made him a little unaccustomed.

Feeling the bitterness in his mouth that was about to explode, Ahn Junhyuk pursed his lips and showed a smile:

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying!"

Ziz!

The neon lights that jumped and flickered overhead changed the rhythm again, and after a moment of darkness, in a subtle trance, Rain, who did not wait for the answer he wanted, seemed to have been slapped in the face, and his face was blue.

He looked at Ahn Junhyuk coldly, the green tendons on his forehead were fluttering, and his snort was so heavy that he could almost hear it clearly. The noisy voices and laughter around seemed to have been pulled into a far space by some inexplicable yīn coldness, and when it came here, only a faint whirlwind was left.

"Good......! Excellent!"

After taking a deep look at Ahn Joon-hyuk again, Rain got up and left!

Seeing his back gradually disappear, Ahn Junhyuk sat until he slowly finished drinking a cup of coffee, then shrugged his shoulders, and smiled at Yuan Cheng, who sensed that he was leaving and approached not far away: "This is very domineering, isn't it?"

Yuan Cheng stiffly hooked the corners of his mouth, noncommittal.
