There's no denying that he's really excited.

After struggling fiercely in his heart for a moment and calming down, Li Xiuman put on his glasses and looked at the silent young man opposite: "Pay so much, what you ask is just to gain further independence?"

"Oh, freedom, everyone wants it. Ahn Jun-hyuk spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Freedom...... In that case, when the contract expires next year, you can set up your own brokerage company......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ahn Junhyuk's interjection: "SM is beneficial to my resources, rather than starting from scratch and working hard, and competing with the company, as well as JYP, which has a large share of the market, for a piece of fat that everyone covets, I prefer to borrow ready-made results." ”

Regarding the current situation of the entertainment industry being carved up by several major brokerage companies, Lee so-man knows better than anyone, so although Ahn Jun-hyuk's reason is somewhat unexpected, it is not too surprising.

Of course, he prefers Ahn Jun Hyuk to be too lazy to distract himself from the company's operations.

Sure enough, Ahn Jun-hyuk then said: "A person's energy is limited, and I don't have so much time to waste on those things." ”

Scold...... Does genius really exist?

Recalling the hard work of starting his own business, and then comparing the ease of the other party, Li Xiuman smiled bitterly, looked at the two documents spread out on the table, he closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then leaned back in the chair: "I've always wondered, why do you want to be an artist......?" He gestured a few times, probably to explain the hard work of artists and the low remuneration, but found that such words were not suitable for him to say. After a pause, he continued: "...... With your capital, there's no need to go this way. ”

Ahn Joon-hyuk held his chin with one hand and did not answer.

"Hmm...... If it's not convenient to answer, forget it. ”

"There was no inconvenience. Ahn Junhyuk took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "It's nothing special, it's just because I like and love it, and I want to taste what it's like to be a star!"

"Your personality doesn't look like a showy person. ”

"The teacher is too complimentary, and people don't take the teenager lightly. I'll be a little willful once in a while. Besides......" he laughed and said: "After entering this circle, I have met some people and have feelings, and I feel a little reluctant to get out again." Rather than leaving regrets for the future. It's better to just keep going. I have this capital!"

The sunlight shining through the window shone brightly on his silhouette.

…… yes, he has that capital......

Thinking helplessly. He had previously told Ahn Junhyuk that it was not okay to disobey the old man, it was not a pretext, but an occasional emotion from the bottom of his heart. Over the years, he has felt more and more old, last year he was forced into a desperate situation by Kim Youngmin, who was 12 years younger than him, and now he has met an even more terrible Ahn Junhyuk.

However, he is still Li Xiuman in the end, the head of the SM who is indomitable and known as the tyrant, and he has just emerged for a short time, and he was repressed again after only staying for a moment, recovering his clear mind, and continuing to think about how many pros and cons there will be to take over this olive branch handed over by Ahn Junhyuk!

Even if he is very tempted, he needs to think clearly before he dares to make a decision, which is a lesson learned in the past many years.

Time flies by reading the terms of the agreement and thinking, before you know it, the light of the sun begins to slant westward, the shadow of the city gradually lengthens, the surrounding rows of tall buildings cut the blue sky into trapezoidal shapes, slowly blocking the sun behind them, the light in the café dimms at a very fast speed, and then the lights are turned on again, the light seems too strong, and some waiters come over and ask the guests if they need to close the curtains.

Li Xiuman pushed his glasses and was about to tell her to pull them on, but An Junhyuk on the other side was already smiling and waving his hand to the waiter: "Not for the time being." ”

Li Xiuman frowned and looked up at the other party, but saw that he had turned his head to look out the window, with a thin smile on the corner of his mouth.

As far as he could see, it was a cold drink shop across the road, bustling with traffic and pedestrians, and the cold drink shop, which was also covered by the shadows of high-rise buildings, was also lit up with warm yellow lights, and neon signs flashed, outlining the alluring colors of ice cream.

In the faint neon light, two familiar girls walked out of the store, both of them still carrying school bags, one of them holding a sundae ball in his hand and licking it, laughing and saying something to each other.

That's Lim Yoona and Kim Taeyeon.

Since Ahn Jun-hyuk became the head of the office in the company last time, the name of Lin Yun'er's classmate is in the company, from the president to the sweeping aunt, of course, it is impossible for Lee so-man not to know the way. As for Kim Taeyeon, he was even more impressed - last year's trainee selection contest was the last one he hosted, as the first place in the singing department of last year's competition, the name Kim Taeyeon, he has always remembered, and more than once regretted that the child's voice conditions and appearance do not match.

In his opinion, Kim Taeyeon's voice is a natural lyric singer, and if it weren't for being a little fat, resulting in an over-ordinary appearance, he could have arranged for SOLO to make his debut this year.

Of course, the most important reason that can keep him remembered, instead of being buried in his memory, is the relationship between these two girls and Ahn Jun Hyuk.

Just thinking about it, he saw Ahn Joon-hyuk take out his mobile phone and dial the number, and not long after, across the road, Lim Yoon-a, who had just retrieved the bicycle from the door of the cold drink shop, hurriedly stuffed the sundae ball in his hand to Taeyeon and took out his mobile phone from his schoolbag.

Her somewhat weak voice came out of Ahn Junhyuk's microphone: "oppa......"

"Lin Yun'er, how many times have I told you that you are not allowed to eat ice cream on an empty stomach, and you have always taken it as a deaf ear?"

"Ahh

“…… The next time you lie, make sure where I am, give Taeyeon your phone!"

The last sentence obviously turned all the girl's luck into nothing, Li Xiuman looked at the naughty little girl, and handed the phone to Kim Taeyeon in frustration, and couldn't help but be a little funny.

Needless to say, the subsequent development is nothing more than Ahn Jun Hyuk telling Kim Taeyeon not to give Lin Yoona any cold drinks, saying that she has been helping her regulate her stomach and other things recently, to be honest, this is something he never found out, and it belongs to the other side of Ahn Jun Hyuk.

does not usually face them with indifference and calmness, nor does he have the kind of sharpness hidden under humility when negotiating, Ahn Junhyuk at this moment seems to be just a very ordinary brother who cares about his sister's body and has a headache for his sister's willfulness and disobedience.

I don't know why, but his fear of the other party suddenly decreased a lot, so much so that he smiled and accosted: "Lin Yuna and Kim Taeyeon?"

"Ah, yes, the teacher also knows about them?"

"Hehe, one is last year's big award, I personally selected the company's golden voice, and the other is a member of the first phase of Super.Girl, of course I know...... "That's it!" he raised his wrist to look at the time, "It's not too early, it's time to sit here for an afternoon, it's time to move, what you're talking about...... I'm going to think about it again, for the time being, and I'll contact you when I'm done. ”

As he spoke, he closed the two documents without handing them back to Ahn Joon-hyuk.

Such a move in itself represents a certain tendency, and across the table, Ahn Junhyuk narrowed his eyes slightly, paused, and then shrugged: "Of course! Then, teacher, I'll take my leave first!"

Bowing slightly to him, Ahn Jun-hyuk got up and called the waiter to pay, walked out of the café, and walked across the road.

sat on the spot for a while, watched Ahn Jun-hyuk go across the road, knocked on Lin Yuna's head, the girl pouted and rubbed her forehead, and Kim Taeyeon handed Lim Yoon-a's sundae ball to Ahn Jun-hyuk, and the three of them said a few more words, and then stepped on the sunshine and shadow of the west, and left in the direction of the company.

The crowd around them was bustling, chaotic like quicksand, three tall or short figures, laughing and gradually disappearing from the field of vision, when he retracted his gaze, Li Xiuman suddenly felt that he should understand what An Junhyuk wanted equity for, why he entered the board of directors, and why he did not exercise the power they represented after obtaining the first two.

Comparing the two documents that we got today, maybe, as he said, he was really just too lazy to distract himself?

What has accumulated in the bottom of my heart in the past, the depression brought by the other party is much relieved.

Such an opponent should not be difficult to deal with......

He thought, taking the last sip of coffee in his cup and getting up to leave.

……

"Where did OPPA hide? I didn't even see it!"

Enviously watching Ahn Joon-hyuk and Taeyeon both have ice cream to eat, Lim Yoon-a quietly complains about her misfortune while asking Ahn Jun-hyuk depressedly.

"If you see it, how can I catch you stealing food? Little girl, it's very refreshing to promise at home, it turns out that you say one thing and do another!"

"Oppa hates it, how can people be as bad as you say~" Yun'er was embarrassed and grinned.

"Smack!"

She's been blown up!

"Don't talk to me in this little boyish voice!"

"Ah, hit me again, what should I do if I'm stupid!"

As he stepped out of the shadows, the sun slanted to the west, shining on the short stretch of road, and the girl held his arms dissatisfiedly and shook back and forth, while he dodged in confusion to avoid the sundae in his hand staining their clothes, and in the sea of light, the silhouettes of their playful entanglement were inlaid with a faint gold edge.

Standing in the shadows, Taeyeon watched silently, his hesitant steps seemed to wonder if he should step into the range of that light.

There was a lot of struggle and confusion in her heart, and after a while, Ahn Junhyuk, who noticed that she was lagging behind, turned around and beckoned to her, and Yuna also called "What is my sister doing, hurry up", she hurriedly agreed, trotted to their side, quietly threw away the sundae that had not been eaten, and quietly climbed up the crook of his arm with one hand......
