Chapter 18: Ginseng Rooster
2:30 p.m., restrooms on the third floor of the KBS Building.
Ah Jiu is squatting in the pit, and VJ is next to him.
"One for you?" A cigarette was handed under the partition, Ah Jiu looked at it, and said, "No." ”
"Phew." VJ booed, lit the cigarette, and said, "It's too fake to say no, there are still men who can't smoke?" ”
"Senior, isn't KBS non-smoking?"
"There is a saying that if you don't catch it, it doesn't count, who knows if I smoke one when I squat in the pit, you go to tell the truth?"
"That's right......" Ah Jiu nodded and stretched out his hand from under the partition: "Then bring me one too." ”
"Wouldn't you?"
"Suddenly I remembered again, come on."
VJ put the cigarette and lighter in his hand, Ah Jiu took it and looked at it, he didn't smoke it, put the cigarette in the pocket of his clothes hanging next to him, and returned the lighter.
"Newcomer." VJ spit out a circle of eyes and squinted pleasantly.
"Huh?"
"Did you meet Taeyeon at noon?"
"Nope." Of course, Ah Jiu will not admit it.
VJ laughed and said, "You lied, I saw you at the door...... Tsk, is it very close, relationship? ”
"Uh...... What to kiss, I haven't known each other for a few days. ”
"Envy, Ferrari driver." VJ sighed, "You can be friends with the top idol in Korea, ordinary employees like us...... Alas, I can't even think about it. ”
Ah Jiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior, you are in your forties, and you still like idol?" ”
"No way?" VJ's voice raised a little and said, "Don't say there's something called 'Uncle Rice', let's talk about the past." You guys like Girls' Generation and AOA now, and I like SES and fin.k.l when I was younger, what's the difference? ”
"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will grow old one day, and she will become ugly when she gets old...... But Hyo-ri is an exception, and it's still so charming...... It's a pity to marry such a toad...... Do you have any paper over there? ”
Ah Jiu dragged some paper and handed it under the gate, and soon the sound of flushing the toilet sounded next door.
VJ knocked on the partition: "Still not coming out?" ”
"Right now."
……
Coming out of the bathroom, VJ carried the camera again.
"Newcomer, do you know your current problem?"
"What's the problem?"
"Loose." VJ pointed the camera at Ah Jiu's face and said, "I followed you for a day, and I didn't see you doing any serious work, what work did MainPD assign you?" ”
"I was put in charge of the special stage and the location interview, but I didn't have it today, so I had nothing to do."
"You PDs are really good enough for you." VJ said enviously, "When I first joined the company, I started by looking at the prop warehouse. ”
Ah Jiu was puzzled and said, "Isn't the predecessor VJ?" How do you go to see the prop warehouse? ”
"Because the VJ position is full, you think it will be so easy to stay in KBS...... Forget it, why am I telling you this, the troubles of civilians like us, how can a brat like you who drives a Ferrari understand. ”
Ah Jiu smiled and said, "Senior, you said that Taeyeon and I are friends...... Of course I'm assuming, is it because of Ferrari? ”
"Of course! Or else? Why didn't she be friends with me? ”
Ah Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible...... Because I'm more handsome than you? ”
……
Separated from Ah Jiu, Taeyeon did not go back to the dormitory, but went back to Yeouido Park alone to hang out. You may be recognized at any time, but you can be fine in a place like Yeouido. Because even if they recognize it, most people will think, 'Ah, it's a show,' and won't come and bother. As a gathering place for TV stations, the residents of Yeouido have become accustomed to the presence of artists, unlike other places where they are full of novelty when they see artists.
But Taeyeon also made a bit of a disguise and bought a sunhat and sunglasses, which are the kind that tourists buy, and there is no sense of an artist at all. I didn't get into any trouble when I disguised myself like this. After a marshmallow and an ice cream, Taeyeon wandered from one end of Yeouido Park to the other. When I walked out, I was confronted by an SK Telecom. She suddenly thought of Ah Jiu's 2G mobile phone, and walked through the street after thinking about it.
……
At 4:50 p.m., at the office of the KBS Variety Bureau, the day's work came to an end.
Ah Jiu sat in his place, staring at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. He is starting to regret it a little now, he knew that it was so boring to stay idle, so he asked Jin Hongshun to arrange something to do.
Suddenly, there were several clapping sounds behind him.
"Everyone's eyes are focused, after a while, we will go to the Orchid Garden for dinner, the new staff and the MainPD of each group must be present, and everyone else will try to go, after all, it is good to work if you are familiar with it. Alright, let's pack up and get ready to go. ”
After speaking, Park Tae-ho's eyes searched and came to Ah Jiu's side.
"I'll shoot it here today, you're almost off work." Park Tae-ho said to VJ: "We'll go to dinner in a while, you're not from the Variety Show Bureau, so I can't take you with me." ”
VJ turned off the camera, nodded to Ah Jiu and turned to leave.
Seeing VJ walk away, Park Tae-ho pulled the chair next to him and sat down, "The director went to visit the president, so I'll host today's dinner." The barbecue in Orchid Garden is the best in the neighborhood, and I'll order you two plates of Korean beef in a moment. How's it going, is the work going well? Don't be embarrassed if you have any questions. ”
"Thank you, Minister, it's all good."
"It's fine......" Park Tae-ho said, and asked expectantly, "Actually, I should also visit the president...... Canrong, why don't you go with me after the dinner is over in a while? ”
The president is sick, and it's not okay for anyone to visit if they want to, and the level of Park Tae-ho is obviously not enough. But if you can catch the line of 'young master of the president's family', then it's no problem, maybe you can leave a good impression in the president's heart because you take care of the 'young master'.
How could Ah Jiu agree, not to mention that he was pretending, even if he was really Park Chanrong, it would be absolutely impossible to help with this kind of favor.
Seeing Ah Jiu's embarrassed look, Park Tae-ho suddenly remembered his identity as an 'illegitimate child', and couldn't wait to slap himself, and hurriedly said: "Look at my memory, I'm going to pick up the child home after the dinner party is over in a while." So, I bought a gift...... It's definitely not worth much, it's a hometown specialty sent by my brother......" He lowered his voice and said, "There is a ginseng plant in it, I heard that it is some years." There is also a big rooster with white feathers and black bones, and it is best to boil chicken soup to nourish qi and prolong life. ”
"That's it, I'll give it to you in a moment. Thank you, Chanyoung. ”
Park Tae-ho didn't give Ah Jiu a chance to refuse, and got up and left after speaking. Ah Jiu smiled helplessly, the ginseng rooster is ginseng gong**, anyway, meet with Park Canrong at night and give it to him.
