CHAPTER XXIII. 1/2

In the dark night, on the open computer screen, the fluorescent light flickered slightly, the girl sitting at the desk pulled out the keyboard in the drawer and crackled the next line of handwriting, searching, and the next moment, the web page that popped up on the screen was the news about J.H and "The King's Man".

It's been two months, yesterday there was a cold wind blowing in Seoul, the sand and dust climbed over the top of Changbai Mountain, like roaring monsters and haze clouds together overwhelmingly pressed from the north, they shuttled through the city, people on the streets have put on thick winter clothes, the sky is no longer high, and the sun, which occasionally shows a ray of light, is no longer as radiant as it was two months ago, hanging gray in the sky, not providing much temperature.

Thinking about it, she rubbed her hands together, a cup of hot coco steaming in her hand.

In the past 2 months, she can only pay attention to his news in this way, the crew of "The King's Man" has been traveling in the south, but they have not returned to the north, it is said that they are going to shoot the grassland there, shoot the bamboo forest, J.H official website updated the day before yesterday, he and the rest of the crew in costume are standing on the beach of Jeju Island, soaking up the sun, and a mountain in the distance behind them is still lush.

Jisoo was also there, and Lim so-jung also went to visit the class a while ago, and when he came back, he also brought her some Jeju and Jeonnam (Jeollanam-do) specialties, some of which he bought for her, mostly snacks, he always didn't give gifts like this, on the one hand, he encouraged her to lose weight, on the other hand, he gave her gifts and always gave her something to eat, it seemed that he couldn't think of anything else except eating.

Seeing that the official website was not updated, the girl took a sip of hot cocoa, and the taste was not very good. Because ginger is added to it.

In order to maintain her weight loss results, she currently only eats a few fruits for dinner, and her calories are all based on hot cocoa with ginger.

Red sea bream, square head, jade sea bream...... Most of them are pickled and barbecued fish, and the packaging box is very exquisite, and she is not willing to throw it away after eating, so she piles it in the corner of the wall, which is considered to be a souvenir!

She looked into the corner of the wall where she had placed the box, and her eyes widened. The next moment. The girl erupted in eagerness and screamed with a Jeonju flavor: "Stephanie!!, I told you that it wasn't a shoebox or a garbage can, why did you throw your socks on it??"

The door to the dorm room opened, and Stephanie was unkempt and foaming at the mouth. Bite your toothbrush and poke your head out. Follow her angry gaze and look into the corner. He then laughed, muttered something, and trotted over to pick up his socks. Ran back to the bathroom.

In this process, the other party only wore a cute body in front of her eyes.

The girl lowered her head in frustration, she suddenly missed Stephanie half a year ago, not long after she arrived in Korea.

Polite, hygienic, really a good boy who is very measured, now that I have known each other for a long time, the relationship is deep, and the true face of the other party is gradually exposed - that guy is a shopaholic, 3 months ago, when Stephanie was finally able to speak fluently, and learned to recognize the name of the product from her, after bargaining, the small dormitory began to suffer a disaster, the two of them under the bed and on the balcony were full of bought clothes, shoes, and in fact, these bought things Stephanie usually does not wear.

If shopping is just a little inconvenient, then another vice makes her a little depressed.

Stephanie is lazy!

I don't like to tidy up things, and if it weren't for her help, I'm afraid that clothes bags and shoe boxes would be everywhere in the dormitory now. She also doesn't like to clean, she throws used and eaten things everywhere, and sometimes she goes to bed when she is crazy and doesn't even bother to take a shower!

She had always felt that Stephanie wasn't supposed to be a girl.

It's a pity that resentment can't change reality, she tried to reform Stephanie's vice, but after trying for a while, no matter what means worked, at the worst, she was completely dead.

Not to mention her headache, when Stephanie came out of the bathroom again, the naked and unkempt creature was gone, and exposed to the light was a refreshing double-breasted winter trench coat, a fashionable girl with small wavy curls, of course, the glamorous appearance could not hide the essence, as soon as she rushed out of the bathroom, Stephanie hurriedly pulled out a large pile of random shoes from under the bed.

"It's miserable, there's not enough time...... It's all Taeyeon's fault for calling me so late!"

Taeyeon rolls her eyes, if I'm not mistaken, I've been waking her up since school, and I'm lazy and blames others!

Although she thought so, seeing that Stephanie hurriedly found a pair of shoes to put on her feet, and they were ready, she still stopped the other party and instructed, "Don't play too late, if anything, call me!"

"Uh-huh!" Stephanie turned around, hugged her, and trotted out the door.

"Hey, did you listen, the security has not been very good recently, I heard that the gangsters are very active, you should be careful!"

"Ji-yeon-do, Taeyeon oma!"

Stephanie responded in a flirtatious response from outside the door, and the door slammed on, leaving Taeyeon alone muttering dissatisfiedly, "Oma, Oma! Am I old?"

I looked in the mirror, and inside was a delicious girl with a petite face and a delicate and cute appearance.

But no one appreciates such a look......

Alone in the empty dormitory, her heart seems to fall into the void, in the past 2 months, the school has naturally had some vacations, sometimes I want to go over to see him, but the last time I went to Anseong, it was empty, which consumed her little self-confidence, after all, I heard that there were a lot of people in the crew, and there were often onlookers during filming, she rashly followed and didn't know what the result would be, so she hesitated, and time passed quickly.

…… What if I were Yuna......

I thought more than once in my heart, today Saturday, tomorrow weekend, Yuna will probably have already gone to Jeju!

Outside the window, the wind was howling, and the occasional soft sound of sand hitting the glass could be heard. Putting her mind aside for a while, Taeyeon went to the bathroom to take a shower, then turned off most of the lights, leaving only the lamp at the head of the bed, and in the faint light, she took out a notebook from under her pillow with an old but neat cover edge.

It was given to him on his birthday, and she kept it very well, full of her mood, every time she recorded words on it. It was the most peaceful moment for her soul. Because it would make her feel like she was telling him what was on her mind!

November 7, 2005, winter solstice, wind

I heard the dark night roaring outside the window......

……

Under the same night sky. Jeju Island at this time. The temperature is as warm as spring.

A resort hotel near the beach. The night does not hide the golden lights of the hotel, facing the direction of the sea, belonging to the hotel's private beach. A few bonfires were lit, and some young people played guitars around the fire, singing songs in Korean, Japanese, or Mandarin, and the trees around the beach rowed out far into the darkness, and in the night farther away, occasionally a hazy waterline reflected the bonfire and the faint moonlight, pushing the waves and transmitting the sound of the tide.

“oppa————”

Where the waves hit the shore, a little fluorescence lit up, the girl's excited screams and the cool wind floated to the side of the hotel, standing in front of the observation deck, Ahn Junhyuk waved his hand over there, and in the mobile phone in the other hand, Cui Wensheng reported the recent situation.

At present, the strength in his hands is basically divided into three parts, and the legitimate business of J.H Company under his name is managed by Park Yingjun, and the offshore fund that Park Yingjun was responsible for has been taken over by him again since Park Yingjun ended his bottom-buying activities in the United States.

The benefits brought to him by Hurricane Katrina are not limited to the short-term oil dip, the disasters caused by the hurricane have affected all aspects, especially the turmoil in the stock market, and there is a huge room for maneuver, among which the insurance industry, which has been hit hard, and the construction industry, which ushered in the second spring because of the reconstruction plan, is the focus of his current investment, but these are long-term operations and can be controlled remotely, so in October, he recruited back Park Yingjun and asked him to take over the administrative position at J.H as soon as possible.

The second part is the security company controlled by "Park Sun-ling Venture Capital", this company has some gray background, and the administrative work is handed over to a professional manager with experience in the security industry recommended by the headhunter, and it is still in its infancy.

Temporary development is only decent.

The third part is the business that cannot see the light in the dark world of Seoul.

At the beginning, he wanted to slowly transfer the Busan boy brought by Cui Wensheng and Cha Yuancheng into the security company, but this goal seemed to be a little too optimistic, when they followed him in Busan before, they were outright gangsters, they couldn't go to school, they couldn't do anything, and they were rebellious, if he was in charge of the security company, they would definitely obey, but Quan Bingguo didn't have that kind of prestige.

In the past few months, the results have not been great, those guys who used to only cut people don't know how to protect people at all, or rather, they don't listen to their employers, and they can't stand the loneliness of daily patrols.

Therefore, some businesses in the dark, such as nightclubs, bars, gambling stalls, etc., are still retained, and there is no way to completely separate themselves from traditional gangs, and they can still receive some news.

Recently, the underground world in Seoul has not been very peaceful, and many of the big local gangsters in Seoul, such as the Ilshin faction and the Southern Dong faction, have shrunk under the pressure of the Vietnamese and Thais, among which the supply of shilobenzene is completely broken and cannot provide shiloben, and the main customers of several factions in Japan, Sumiyoshikai, which is involved in the drug business, are said to have also withdrawn their support for them, and now the only business that can create wealth for the gang is entertainment, real estate, nightclubs, bars and other relatively "legitimate" industries.

Local gangs in Seoul are now expanding their operations in these industries.

“…… Yixin and Nambu have begun to unite, and they have recently sent people to contact us, hoping that we can join in and fight against the Vietnamese together, and the Vietnamese also have the intention of contacting and want to sell white goods in our store, but according to the tone set by your brother, I have rejected the Vietnamese, and I just ...... with Nambu Cave."

"Reject them, we don't mix these muddy waters!"

Ahn Jun Hyuk made a decision without hesitation, if he didn't need those stores for the time being, he would have withdrawn a long time ago, how could he fall into it again. (To be continued......)
