epilogue
"Brother......" IU touched Ah Jiu and motioned for him to open his mouth, Ah Jiu opened his mouth, IU fed him the roasted meat, watched him eat it, and laughed contentedly.
"Is it delicious?" IU looked at Ah Jiu with her cheeks back, her face flushed a little, obviously she had achieved her goal just now in Park Chanrong's office. This small table was specially requested by IU to Park Canrong, and only two people sat her, Ah Jiu, in this corner, the wind couldn't blow, and it was not noticeable, which made her very satisfied.
"Hmm." Ah Jiu nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about me, didn't you say that you haven't eaten well for a day, eat first." ”
"I'll eat it," said IU, who put a piece of meat in his mouth. looked at Ah Jiu's face and whispered, "Brother, are you unhappy?" ”
"No," Ah Jiu looked stunned, looked at IU, and said with a smile: "How can you think I'm unhappy?" ”
"My brother hasn't been smiling," IU pouted, humming, "Don't you want to ...... with me?" I forced my brother, so my brother is unhappy? ”
"How could it be," Ah Jiu looked left and right, and seeing that no one noticed this, he reached under the table, took IU's little hand, and said, "Being able to make you happy is also something I should do, but this kind of thing is also a kind of torment for me...... So it's a bit of an escape, and I still think it......" Ah Jiu leaned close to IU's ear and said, "Sister, are you thinking a little too much, it's not good for your body to do this kind of thing too often?" ”
"Brother~!" IU was ashamed, her face quickly turned red to the base of her neck, and said, "How can it be too often, there was no ...... last night Once every other day isn't too often, is it? How can my brother say that! ”
"Okay, every other day." Ah Jiu smiled and diverted the topic, although the relationship with IU was already more than just a brother and sister. But he was still a little uncomfortable talking about it so bluntly with her. Ah Jiu looked at EXID's table, IU saw him staring at An Xiyan, and reached out to shake it in front of his eyes, Ah Jiu had no choice but to turn his head again, IU asked sourly, "Brother." What do you think she's doing, can't it be that you like her? ”
"How can it be so easy to fall in love with," Ah Jiu smiled bitterly: "My good sister, can you not equate your brother with a pervert." ”
"Then what do you think she's doing?" IU looked at An Xiyan and said, "It's not very good-looking, it's just that she's tall."
"Sister, I'm thinking about something." Ah Jiu held IU's hand and asked solemnly, "From your debut to the present, have you done the last thing you want to do...... What is it? ”
"Huh?" IU blinked, understanding what Ah Jiu was thinking. Wan Er smiled and said, "I don't seem to have anything special I don't want to do, what is my brother worried about?" ”
Ah Jiu pointed at EXID and said, "When I saw them today, I suddenly thought, is this really the only way to do this industry?" For the sake of redness, in order to make money, he slowly erased his edges and corners. Become anything you can do? ”
"Maybe," IU thought for a moment and said, "I've seen a lot of trainees end up having to ...... But I don't have a real feeling. Maybe it has something to do with me writing my own songs...... Brother, I can probably guess what you're thinking. Actually, it's not what you think, trainees of large companies, or people who can make money for the company when they are trainees, the company will protect them, just like Girls' Generation. Even if they don't become popular, S・M won't let them run the festival or come here to participate in any auditions, only those who have been abandoned by the company will choose this kind of ...... Maybe there's a bit of luck to it. I haven't experienced it, and although I can probably understand the feeling, I don't know how to put it into words. ”
"Hmm." Ah Jiu raised his hand to brush away the broken hair in front of IU's forehead and said, "I don't care about others, the people around me, it's good that I haven't been hurt." ”
"Hmm," IU squeezed into Ah Jiu's arms, rubbed comfortably, and was about to be coquettish, when he suddenly saw Shi Hao coming over, pouted unhappily, got up from Ah Jiu's arms, and went to get meat. Se Hao was roasting chicken wings over there, and she had just ordered four.
Shi Hao moved a stool and sat next to Ah Jiu, and said, "Boss, there seems to be something I have to tell you." ”
"Say, don't spit it out."
"The last time you asked me to observe, Jessica's career, I asked a professional to evaluate it, and I just got the results."
Ah Jiu nodded and motioned for Shi Hao to continue, "What was the result?" ”
"To put it simply, Jessica may have been deceived, Quan Ningyi is a well-known professional liar in the circle, I just got the news, he has helped many people find foundries, especially the channels in the central district, he is very familiar with them. Most of the stores he opened for Jessica took advantage of the rent-free period of the new mall, and it didn't cost much, but he paid the bills in full, and there must be something wrong with it. ”
"Rent-free during the investment period?" Ah Jiu frowned slightly: "What does this mean?" ”
"Even when the big shopping malls first opened, in order to attract big brands to settle in, they usually exempted the rent for a year or even a few years, and Quan Ningyi was very good at falsifying these, and he exaggerated Jessica's popularity and her brand value on the shopping mall, so that the shopping mall mistakenly thought that it was an international brand and gave inappropriate treatment. That's how the store opened, but the mall is not stupid, once a few months pass, the turnover does not meet the standard, the store will still be cleaned up or cancel the preferential treatment. This is the case for most of the stores that Kwon Ningyi opened for Jessica, but Jessica doesn't seem to know it yet. ”
Ah Jiu nodded in understanding, and asked again, "Has Quan Ningyi placed another order recently?" ”
"Well, a thousand pairs of glasses, five hundred scarves."
Ah Jiu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said slowly: "It's done, deduct it for half a month first." ”
"Okay." Shi Hao should come down, didn't ask for any reason, got up and left.
IU came back with four chicken wings and put them on a plate: "Brother, eat quickly, it's still hot." ”
"Well, you eat too." Ah Jiu smiled as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, his mobile phone rang, Ah Jiu glanced at the number, he thought it was Krystal, but unexpectedly it was not, but a strange call.
Ah Jiu picked up the phone and said, "May I ask ......?"
"Xiao Jiu, I'm Long Kun." A calm middle-aged man's voice came, with a little bit of anger and self-authority.
"Long Kun?" Ah Jiu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Are you Wang Jianlin?" ”
"Yes, it's me. I went to worship Master today, and I may have to go to Korea in the next few days, so let's find a time to meet. ”
Ah Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"No, I just wanted to meet you...... I want to see what the master is like to find a good apprentice all his life. ”
"Okay, call me when it's time, anytime."
"It's settled."
The phone hung up, and Ah Jiu was a little distracted. He actually doesn't want to meet with these 'older generation' brothers, the master is gone, what's the point of meeting again, he doesn't want to borrow the light of these powerful brothers, and he doesn't want these brothers to interfere with his life. But after all, he is a senior brother, and the senior brother proposed to meet, so he couldn't refuse as a junior brother.
See, it's just a meeting, just a bunch of them, are you still afraid of people looking at them?
IU couldn't quite understand what Ah Jiu said, and when he saw him hang up the phone, he asked, "Brother, who?" ”
"Who?" Ah Jiu thought for a while and said, "A very rich old man, it is said that his temper is not very good. ”
"Oh, you're going to have to be careful......" (To be continued.) )
