Chapter 56: Since it is the president's intention
(The recent updates seem to be a little late.,Mainly because the old dream hasn't slept much for many days at the end of the period.,I hope you'll forgive me)
Sitting on the seat in the private room of the barbecue restaurant, although Li Taimin, who was beside him, kept cutting the grilled pork belly to the plate in front of him, Wang Nanqian seemed to have not seen it at all, he felt like he was in a big dream, and he hadn't woken up yet.
"You're EXO's NAN, aren't you?Are you interested in acting?" When Jeon Ki-sang said this, he didn't even react at all to what kind of proposal the other party proposed.
"Huh, I've been taking acting classes for a long time at the company. That's his answer like an idiot.
“…… If there is an opportunity to audition in front of you, are you interested in trying it?" Quan Jishang was stunned for a long time before he realized that the kid in front of him was stunned, and he no longer sold it, and directly put his words out clearly.
The opportunity to audition, this is an opportunity to audition! Or is the director personally inviting him to audition! Those idols who have been looking for many years have been looking for an opportunity that they have been looking for suddenly fell from the sky and smashed on their heads, which made Wang Nanqian unable to believe what he heard.
Is this true? Isn't it really my own dream?
"Brother, if you don't eat it again, the meat will be cold. The air conditioning in the barbecue shop was running full, but Lee Taemin was still sweating profusely from the constant heat on the barbecue plate: as a busy man, he naturally had to take on the task of grilling and cutting meat.
"Ahh Hearing Li Taimin's voice, Wang Nanqian woke up, he touched his chopsticks and stuffed a piece of roasted pork belly into his mouth, and then began to regret it: he couldn't eat too much such greasy things, and he didn't leave valuable space to eat Korean beef, what kind of pork belly to eat?
"What is my brother stunned about, what are you thinking?" Wen Liu, who was sitting on the other side of the table, noticed the state of the brother opposite him, and asked vaguely while ferociously filling his mouth with roasted pork belly.
"Today is a day worth celebrating, the director personally invited our brother Nanqian to audition," Cui Minhao, who has changed from a quasi-male number one to an official male number one, although he was busy rolling up meat slices with lettuce, still did not forget to tease the people around him, "The eyes of people who are jealous are red, what kind of luck is this!"
The word luck seems to have never been associated with himself, he has been a trainee for so many years, he was removed from the shelves before his debut, and finally debuted but was refrigerated, thinking about it carefully, it seems that no one can have a more bumpy life than himself: even if he has luck, I'm afraid it's bad luck, right? I'm used to being unlucky people are always myself, how could he encounter such a thing without warning? Listening to Cui Minhao's half-sincere and half-joking words, Wang Nanqian didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Audition? The director personally invited it?" Lee Taemin pretended to be shocked and shouted, "Such a thing worth celebrating, why didn't Brother Minhao say it earlier? I have to drink today!"
Although I am not very familiar with TVXQ's predecessors, from SJ to EXO, there are few artists from S.M company that Wang Nanqian is familiar with, but there are few artists from S.M company that Wang Nanqian knows in private.
If it weren't for the delicate thinking of SHINee's agent, who had already made an appointment to book a private room for them by phone in advance, Lee Tae-min would have to be kicked out by other guests: of course, if there were a few SHINee meals in this exquisitely decorated barbecue restaurant, it was not known who would be kicked out of the house in the end.
"Don't shout so loudly, don't you have a trip tomorrow?Can you drink?" Since the drunkenness of the official debut, which was "picked up" by Jiang Shiqi and Bae Zhuhyun on the side of the road, Wang Nanqian has not touched half a drop of alcoholic beverages. At present, it is rare to have a chance to eat with his three good relatives and friends, and now he is in the "snow period", and he has no itinerary and work to do, Wang Nanqian's mind can't help but be a little more active.
He didn't even ask for the opinion of any of the brothers who were present, Lee Taemin had already rushed out of the private room with scissors and tongs, this guy was going to the waiter to order wine, right? If he didn't have the character of this kind of person to go crazy, wouldn't he be Lee Taemin? If it weren't for this Lee Taemin, how could he fall into that hole on the stage?
Shaking his head with a smile and picking up a piece of squeaky pork belly, mourning for his figure in his heart, Wang Nanqian put the chopsticks into his mouth: The life of being able to eat meat is like being in heaven, and he eats vegetable salad without any dipping sauce almost every day, and he almost doesn't know what meat tastes like.
"NAN, COME OUT WITH ME A LITTLE BIT. The door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, but the person standing at the door was not Lee Tae-min, but SHINee's agent - after Jeon Ki-sang opened his mouth and gave him a chance to audition, and Lim Hyun-kyun and Lee Seung-hwan were not around, the enthusiastic SHINee's agent took the initiative to take the responsibility of contacting the company for him. Is this news from the company? Wang Nanqian, who was still a little reluctant to swallow the piece of meat in her mouth, even chewed it, directly swallowed the piece of pork belly, stood up and walked out of the private room quickly according to her choked throat.
"Brother, thank you for helping me contact the company. Before the other party could speak, he bent down deeply: a SHINee agent helped EXO members to contact the company for their schedules and work, which was obviously beyond the scope of the other party's work, and he fully deserved such a thank.
This kid was so polite, how could he say what he heard on the phone? But how could he not tell this kid about such a thing? In his heart, he only hesitated slightly, and the quality of an agent still made him say what he should say: "The person from the planning department just called me, and President Kim personally inquired about your matter." ”
Just trying out the camera, how could it alarm Kim Yingmin? Wang Nanqian hadn't even straightened up when he heard the three words "President Kim" spit out from the mouth of SHINee's agent brother: His heart tightened for no reason, why did Kim Yingmin suddenly care about his own affairs? It's already time to get off work, how can the iron-masked president still bother in the company about the affairs of a newcomer who has just debuted? Is it because he is a "thorn" who is being hidden?
"I don't know exactly what happened, but according to the president, I don't approve of you going to audition. NAN, I want to open it a little, although it is a pity this time, there will always be opportunities in the future......"
"It's okay, since it's the president's intention, I won't go to this audition. The pain in his heart is like being stabbed with a knife, since he was punished, Wang Nanqian has learned to control his feelings in front of the company's people, but he still can't calmly face the fact that he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and he once again thanked the embarrassed SHINee's agent, "Thank you, brother, worry about my affairs, brother, hurry in and eat some barbecue." "It's really just a dream, and dreams can't always be stored for a long time.
In addition to debuting as a member of EXO, it seems that bad luck has always been around him: is he really stupid like an idiot, a newcomer who is still hidden in the snow, how can he feel that he can be liberated from the predicament because the director said "you can audition"? If he were in a small company, maybe the company would have cherished such an opportunity, but his agency was S.M.: how could a supporting actor who didn't know what the male number was swaying them?
"Brother, why is your face a little unsightly?" Li Taimin walked back to the private room with the waiter holding beer and soju, and saw the brother who had just got the opportunity to audition sitting on the seat with a stiff expression.
What's going on? He's been out for less than two minutes, so why does it seem like this guy has changed?
"Ah...... No, no, I just accidentally touched the wound last time, and it hurts a little. Qiang smiled and turned his left shoulder to Li Taimin, and casually found an excuse to prevaricate: Is his expression so ugly? Originally, this pie was an accident that fell from the sky, as long as it was as if this incident had never happened? Constantly carrying out psychological hints and self-comfort, Wang Nanqian seemed to feel that her mood had really become a little better, "Taimin, pour a glass of beer for brother?"
"Brother, why don't you have to let Brother Wen Liu and Brother Minhao get you drunk today. Lee Tae-min grinned and grabbed the beer bottle that had been placed on the table by the waiter and poured it down on the quilt in front of his brother, who was supposed to be a member of SHINee.
Is it because there are too many things on your mind? The rumor that he is easy to get drunk when he is depressed may not be just a rumor, and he feels that he has not drunk a few bottles of beer, but his head has already been firmly dizzy: he doesn't want these guys who are both seniors and younger brothers to see their embarrassment, Wang Nanqian pushed away the plate in front of him and lay directly on the table.
"Brother, brother, are you drunk like this?" This brother used to drink more than he could drink, why has he become so weak now? Wen Liu grabbed a full glass of beer and dangled it in front of him, laughing uncontrollably because of the stimulation of alcohol.
Although he couldn't drink because he had to drive later, SHINee's agent also felt a bit "drunk" that he shouldn't have under the cheerful atmosphere in the private room, and he didn't even notice that his phone had vibrated for a long time - if Lee Tae-min hadn't handed his phone in front of him, he would have missed the call.
"Hello, I'm Huang ......"
"Have you already said what you said?What is the child's reaction?Did you complain about the company's decision?" Before he could finish his name, the voice of the company's deputy director of the planning department had already come from the other end of the phone, making him directly "sober" up.
"As I have already said, the kid has a very good attitude and says that he is completely obedient to the company's decision. Holding the phone and quietly touching the corner of the private room, he made sure that neither the members of SHINee nor the boy who was the person concerned could hear his voice, so he whispered back to the "big man" on the other side of the phone.
Waiting cautiously, but not hearing any follow-up words, the SHINee agent waited until he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally inexplicably brought the phone to his eyes, only to find that the phone had already been hung up by the other party. What is this for? Even if you are not as good as you, you don't have to play yourself like this, right?, Leaving the complaint in his heart, he walked back to the three members of SHINee who were still laughing around the table.
