Chapter 4 The Deceased
The next afternoon.
Jin Chengyi changed into casual clothes and walked into the coffee shop, pushed open the glass door, and before he could look into the store, a magnetic voice came not far away.
"Cheng Yi here. ”
As far as the eye could see, there was an elegant man standing in a corner by the window, less than thirty years old, wearing a slim suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were not big, but his spirit was bright, and he gave the first impression of being very shrewd and capable.
Jin Chengyi stepped forward and smiled: "Brother Yu Cheng, long time no see." ”
"Yes, it's been more than three years, Cheng Yi sits. ”
After sitting down, waiting for the waiter to finish the coffee, Jiang Yucheng handed over a cigarette, and Jin Chengyi refused: "Quit early." ”
"Quit it? ”
Jiang Yucheng smiled, then looked at Jin Chengyi carefully, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and sighed: "It's like, you and your brother are really similar, seeing you now reminds me of the days when I took your brother on the trip, when you were just so little."
As he spoke, he made a comparison.
Jin Chengyi's pupils trembled slightly when he heard Sung Hoon's name, and he pretended to lower his head and stir the coffee, and after collecting his emotions, he raised his head and changed it to a smiling face and said, "Brother, people will always grow up." ”
Because Jin Chengyi's performance was too natural, Jiang Yucheng didn't notice the momentary emotional change, and said with a smile, "You used to be very skinny, but now you look much calmer, like a man." ”
Jin Chengyi said: "Brother has not changed much, but he looks younger." ”
"Heh, you kid, you're still so good at talking. ”
Jin Chengyi pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother, how did you know that I worked at a convenience store?" ”
Jiang Yucheng snuffed out the cigarette butt and said: "The last time I went back to Jeonju to do business, I happened to meet my uncle, saying that you are really powerful, and you were admitted to Seoul National University quietly, and your uncle also said that you work part-time at a convenience store, and now you can take care of it?"
Jin Chengyi said bitterly in his heart that it was okay, and the figure of his father and that family came to mind.
After that incident, the originally honest father became an alcoholic, and the mother could still restrain himself when he was there, but after a year, the mother was overworked, and the incident was entangled, and the unbearable one left, and the unrestrained father became moody, and the slightest disobedience would add punches and kicks to himself, and the only exception in the past few years was the day he was admitted to Seoul National University, and his father made an exception and did not drink.
He still remembers that in the waiting room on the way to Seoul, his father stared at him sternly and said, "Don't touch that thing, or you'll never come back, hear me?"
Because of this sentence, when he returned to Seoul, he changed his mobile phone and cut off all the previous interpersonal networks, but he didn't expect Jiang Yucheng to suddenly appear, presumably when Brother Yucheng met his father that day, his father drank too much, and his father didn't like to see those people in the past.
Jiang Yucheng didn't know that if he met Father Jin in normal times, the bad words would be light, and if it was serious, he would be chased and beaten, how could he suddenly open his mouth and impact Jin Chengyi's sensitive nerves like now.
"What clubs did you participate in at university? I remember you used to play the guitar pretty well. ”
Jin Chengyi sighed in his heart, knowing that Jiang Yucheng's appointment was not as simple as reminiscing, and when he saw him knocking on the side, he said directly: "Brother, I don't play music now." ”
"Play?"
Jiang Yucheng's soft gaze suddenly sharpened, as if he was stimulated, and he could feel the dazzling light through the lenses, Jin Chengyi did not dodge this gaze, nodded calmly and repeated: "Play." ”
Jiang Yucheng was a little angry and sneered: "I remember that there was a person who rushed up to fight with the three seniors because someone else said something bullshit music in front of him, it's really ironic to think about it now." ”
The words were a little harsh, but Jin Chengyi replied with a calm face: "Brother Yu Cheng, that's all in the past, people will change, I just want to finish reading now and find something to do in the future." ”
Jiang Yucheng felt disappointed, which disrupted his plans, glanced at Jin Chengyi deeply, sighed and said, "Is it anything other than music?"
"Brother Yucheng. ”
Jiang Yucheng looked at Jin Chengyi's frowning appearance, and his emotions became excited: Cheng Yi you know? Cheng Xun is my best friend, you are Cheng Xun's younger brother, and I Jiang Yucheng's younger brother, you may not know, when we ran the trip together, he once said to me.
"Brother Yu Cheng, this guy Cheng Yi is so surprising, he has only been in the company for three months and can actually write songs, and the quality is very high, as long as he modifies some flaws, he can release a song, and I may not be Cheng Yi's opponent in a few years. ”
Cheng Yi do you know what Cheng Xun's expression was when he said this? He looked proud, do you know Cheng Xun's eyes at that time? It was the excitement and excitement of meeting the opponent, I can't forget that scene until now, but what are you saying now, I can't understand it.
Proud, excited, opponent?
Jin Chengyi suddenly heard this past, and heard the words from his brother who had been looking up and out of reach since he was a child, his heart beat violently, but the words of another figure in his mind suddenly remembered: "Don't touch that thing, otherwise you will never come back." ”
The father could no longer be stimulated.
Jin Chengyi took a deep breath, smashed the extravagant hope, his excited gaze turned back to calm, and he couldn't make any waves anymore and said: "Brother Yu Cheng, don't keep talking about me, what about you, are you married?" ”
Jiang Yucheng saw Jin Chengyi divert the topic, his eyes became dim, and he lit a cigarette again and said, "Not yet." ”
Then the two fell silent.
Jin Chengyi looked at the smoke ring for a while, sighed, and prepared to get up to say goodbye.
Jiang Yucheng said suddenly: "I'm still in the circle now, but I'm no longer an agent and has moved to behind-the-scenes production." ”
As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and said: "The company I am staying in has just been established, but recently the representative negotiated an investment with a certain company, and a new girl group will be launched in two years at the latest, but there are too few high-quality male trainees, Cheng Yi used to be powerless and unable to do anything in Jeonju, but now that you are in Seoul, my brother also has resources in his hands, I hope you can give yourself one more choice, think clearly, contact me." ”
Jin Chengyi's half-stretched hand retracted: "Brother Yu Cheng, I'm doing well now, I don't need to think about it anymore." ”
"Ah, even if you kid doesn't come to be a trainee, you always have to take your brother's business card, won't you contact your brother in the future?" Jiang Yucheng clicked on the contact number on the business card.
After hesitating, I still took the business card, only to see that it said Jiang Yucheng, the producer of SourceMusic.
Jiang Yucheng stretched his waist and stood up and said, "Okay, brother still has something to do today, don't answer the phone next time I make an appointment with you, otherwise I will find your store." ”
Jin Chengyi put away his business card and got up, smiling: "No." ”
Jiang Yucheng got up with a smile and patted Jin Chengyi's shoulder and made a gesture for phone contact, Jin Chengyi nodded and was about to leave, Jiang Yucheng suddenly clapped his hands halfway through: "Look at my memory, you can take this too, go and see it, tonight's concert." “
"Brother Yu Cheng, I have to go to work tonight! ”
It's a fact that I'm not interested, and it's also a fact that I go to work, so I want him to push the ticket back.
Jiang Yucheng suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't regret it, look at the name of the actor clearly." ”
Laughing and walking out the door.
Jin Chengyi looked at the lower left corner that Jiang Yucheng said out of curiosity, there was a list of performers, some were popular and some were unfamiliar, and they swept over about twenty groups at a glance, a bit like a platter concert, his eyes slowly moved to the left, and when he saw the name of the group at the end, he froze.
NTN Combo?
That was the group that Brother Sung Hoon was in before his death.
