Chapter 12 The Beginning of Spring

Seoul Bangback-dong Frost Cho-ri Park. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 INFO is surrounded by a large number of high-end luxury apartments and single-family villas built by the top row of Korean wealth list group companies (LG, Samsung, Daelim, Lotte, etc.), and they are also occupied by senior executives and outstanding employees affiliated with them. To the west of the area, most of the land was paid to several construction companies under the group's construction company for almost nothing during the reign of President Roh Moo-hyun, who died last year as a "contributor to the development of Gangnam", and there are also some less-known "contributors" living in it.

"Oh? Chan-ho is here. Come on in. Husband~" The middle-aged woman on the electronic access control screen is called Jin Eunzhen, who is the wife of Li Xiuman, the chairman of S.M Company, who has the most trainees and teachers in China, and the absolute first star-making ability and scale.

The courtyard door was unlocked, Xu Canhao pushed the door in, walked along the path paved with various stones between the crooked neck pines and the vibrant evergreens, and walked towards Li Xiankui who had opened the door to greet --- Li Shunkui's lobby brother.

"Why haven't you returned to the United States yet?" Xu Canhao was less polite, and took off his shoes after handing the gift he was carrying to Li Hyunkui, who was saluting.

"It's not been a few days. Isn't my brother going there lately? Li Xiankui said with the door.

"Oh. What about joy? Xu Canhao asked his brother's whereabouts.

"I guess I'm out with my friends at this time." Lee Hyun-kyu was still smiling slightly and helped Chan-ho hold his coat.

"Wow, are you brothers really a family?" Xu Canhao joked that these two brothers with very different personalities. "Why don't you go and meet your old friends?"

Li Xiankui smiled shyly and didn't say a word, just as his mother came over with a crystal basin that looked like a salad to greet Xu Canhao into the house, and the two didn't say much more and went into the living room.

"Ah, why are you here!?" Xu Canhao was surprised to see Li Shunkui sitting on the sofa in the living room preparing fruits.

"Huh~? Why can't my uncle's house come? In terms of qualifications, I should be surprised by now... Yes! Sunny clutched his head and screamed in pain. As soon as she finished saying that she was not big or small, she was slapped by her aunt's brain collapse and taught the girl to pay attention to politeness.

In fact, Xu Canhao also felt that his problem was quite stupid at this time.

"Hehe, it's good that you didn't dare to do this outside, otherwise I, the president, would have taught you myself." Li Xiuman appeared with a smile from the study, and Xu Canhao hurriedly greeted him, after all, they are elders. "Okay, you've been busy lately. When Bao'er arrives, we'll have dinner. Li Xiuman walked up and patted Chan Hao's arm and reached out to let him sit down.

"Bao'er!?" Xu Canhao seems to be particularly easy to be startled today. This can't be blamed on him, since receiving Bao'er's confession that doesn't seem to confess but seems to be clear, there has been almost no contact between the two. In six months, I have only seen one time on my last trip to Japan. According to common sense, when I received the initiative of the girl, it was hypocritical for the boy to be like this, and if he wanted to go online, it would be hypocritical to steal the fun. But Xu Canhao, the Capricorn man, is the worst, the most disturbing and embarrassing thing for him is really this wrong expression of always treating him as an old friend and acquaintance.

"What? What do you mean by that? Li Xiuman looked at President Xu, who had rarely lost his temper since he was a child, for some reason.

Sunny was also curious about this, and turned his head to stare at what kind of expression and words Xu Canhao would have next.

"It's not... Isn't it a concert, how can you come back..."Xu Canhao reacted and hurriedly found an excuse.

"Something has to come back, home." Li Xiuman's face turned calm and said calmly. Before Xu Canhao could digest the extended content of his words, Li Xiuman got up and asked him to follow him to the study, he had something to say.

"What's the matter?" Xu Canhao sat on the European-style solid wood chair according to Li Xiuman's instructions, and couldn't hold back his mouth and asked first. Although he knew that there must be something to do today, he came to his house today, but now he is more and more unable to guess what is going on.

"Casting for a new drama has begun?" Li Xiuman sat down across from Chan Ho and gestured to him if he wanted to try the half bottle of Irish single malt whiskey on the small table.

Xu Canhao pouted and shook his head with a smile and refused to drink, and said bluntly: "If C&C is willing to participate, it is better to let the company send people to negotiate." I really didn't do this casting by myself, and now the invitations have been sent, but there are a lot of people who are required to make a cameo appearance in this show, so you might as well..."

"I know that." Li Xiuman opened his mouth to interrupt, and after exhaling with his teeth, he said: "In fact, it is inconvenient for me to interfere in this matter, that is, to ask casually." If I could, I would like to let the children of the main department try it, after all, there are also people who are interested in acting and confident. Like Yuna, they must have pestered you, right? Huh..."

"Hehe, naturally." Xu Canhao smiled helplessly.

"Speaking of this, you guys have been making a lot of moves lately. How, have you found any good seedlings that are worthy of your attention? C&C has its own exclusive president management, and there is no need for Li Xiuman, the president, to interfere in the management too much, and then he will not mention the question just now, and he is most concerned about music.

Xu Canhao shook his head decisively, saying that he didn't know, explaining that he didn't participate in the whole process. It's not that he is worried that he will be poached, but after looking at the information and video records of the selected personnel, there is indeed no child who can impress him. But if you let Li Xiuman know the standard of "bright eyes" in his heart... Maybe he will get up and scold him for his eyes above the top.

"Remember what you told me about it? Just a brokerage company that works for yourself. I didn't expect it, in a blink of an eye... Since Kim Tae-hee joined, it really made those people guess that your ambitions will definitely not stop there. Can I still trust you? Li Xiuman said to Xu Canhao half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Xu Canhao understood what President Li meant, and immediately smiled helplessly. At that time, if it weren't for Li Xiuman to vouch for him, this CH entertainment company might have been squeezed by many evil wolves in the industry, you must know that the various divisions and trade unions that banned Xu Canhao from playing on the singing stage at the beginning were the joint force of more than 100 entertainment brokerage companies large and small across the country. "Tae-hee... You also know the situation at the time, we have been passively absorbing since she started, if it weren't for the scandal that skyrocketed, we wouldn't have joined it. There are Brother Dongjian, Brother Xiulu, and Brother Xiulu brought Nanbaola, these are all friendships, not poaching by us. Recently, they were pulled into the (all-film and television star) baseball team because of the show. What are the scandals, these are the hot lawsuits recently (a large number of female celebrities x trading video turmoil that broke out at the end of January), we also helped Sister Shulan accept a lot of personnel from the perspective of charity, which was passive from beginning to end. ”

Li Xiuman looked at Xu Canhao's pitiful and helpless appearance and couldn't distinguish the truth from the false, so he simply stopped entangled in Xu Canhao's true position on this matter, anyway, he was not worried that Canhao, the major shareholder of S.M, would endanger the company, not to mention that he believed that his company had enough background and ability to meet the challenge of any company in China. "Okay, do you think you can get past me by pretending to be a junior?" Li Xiuman pretended to reprimand. "Cultivating trainees is not a seemingly simple thing, thinking that as long as you follow the steps, you can do it. Speaking of which, I would like to remind you that don't try to copy the S.M process, it may not be suitable for you, and it may not be suitable for today's children. Recently, the company has been responding to the problem enough of a headache, and the planning side is nervously preparing to develop a new training program. ”

"I've already found out about this problem. Today's kids aren't the hot days... They call it the time of Sejo. Perverse, bold, and complex. It seems that he knows a lot but is looking for trouble. And there are many who come with impure purposes and want to debut as stars. Therefore, the company can now be said to be not only school education, but also responsible for the moral and common sense education of the parents of the family, as well as professional teaching. It's hard to do~"

Li Xiuman nodded and said, "Well, especially with the bad example of the seniors, and the phenomenon of incumbents disregarding the company's regulations for personal gain, this is also a headache~"

These words made Xu Canhao stunned. He obviously felt that Li Xiu was full of words, but he couldn't figure out what the other party was aiming at and whether he knew.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Li Xiuman just looked at Xu Canhao quietly, with only a polite smile on his face.

Xu Canhao had thought that Li Xiuman might have already known about himself and Taeyeon on the way to call, and he didn't plan to hide from these goblins who were all hands and eyes in the company, so he didn't show nervousness and helplessness at this time, just smiled and said calmly: "Yes, Taeyeon and I are in love, seriously." ”

"Heh, do you think I care if I'm serious or not?" Li Xiuman snorted angrily to express disdain. "It is precisely because it is the two of you that I know you well and know how your mother treats her children, so I did not intend to interfere from the beginning. And Chunwon mentioned to me that this love affair was of great help to Taeyeon, and he used his own experience to convince me, otherwise... It's not going to be so easy for the two of you to get married and plan to travel. ”

"Really? The seniors also know..."Xu Canhao didn't expect that even Zheng Chunyuan, a supernumerary person, knew about this matter, and listening to the meaning of Li Xiuman's words, there are many people who should know, and they have known it for a long time. It may be that Taeyeon has unknowingly exposed herself. He thought.

"Forget it, I can't stop you two from looking at it, and if you start a war because of this, it will be a joke. Anyway, the girls' dormitory has been reclaimed, so you should move out of there, right? Li Xiuman took a crystal cup while speaking, and Xu Canhao hurriedly opened the cap of the wine bottle for him and poured wine for him, but was mercilessly refused. Li Xiuman, who was close to knowing the age of the Mandate of Heaven, snatched the wine bottle, added a sip to the cup, and then drank it with his head held high. "This time you have a good cooperation with the children, although there is less stage, but these people who press the film and book have already lined up in a long line, which shows that the market is very optimistic about you."

Xu Canhao nodded noncommittally, waiting for Li Xiuman to finish speaking.

"Xu Xian, Mei Ying. And your girlfriend. Li Xiuman's deliberate joke made Xu Canhao smile slightly bitterly. Through this recording, the report of the two producers, I see that the skills of the three of them have their own style, and the sound coordination is not bad. ”

"Well, yes. And so-yeon. ”

"With your observation and familiarity, if they set up another group... Is it possible to make the company gain more without compromising Girls' Generation, this time? The problem that Li Xiuman threw out was realized by Kim Yeon-jung when he talked to him recently, but he has not yet proposed it on the company's table.

"Featured like SJ?"

"Well, can you expect that?" Li Xiuman nodded in response.

"Does Uncle Man regard me as a prophet, this can also ask me." Xu Canhao complained.

"Hmm... It is an exaggeration to call the prophets. But you kid does seem to have excellent divination skills in some things. Li Xiuman's intuition is a bit reliable.

Xu Canhao looked at the joke not like a joke, serious and not like a serious big guy Li speechlessly, he couldn't wait to stand up and spray the glasses and take a sip of salt soda, and told him happily: Yes, there is such a combination, Teti Xu. Let the three of them just form a group, and they will definitely develop in the future!

What Xu Canhao was thinking, Li Xiuman wouldn't know, he just looked at the change on the face of the child opposite, and didn't understand why he was angry, and thought he thought of something, so he asked Canhao what he proposed.

"Since there is a lesson from the past, you can't do it. If there are no big changes in the development trend of girls in the future, I think... I guess it will probably continue to be on the upswing and make money for you. For Xu Canhao's angry words, Li Xiuman was stunned for a while. Now it's Japan, and then, like Bao'er, signed a contract with Baiwen to go to the United States for development. Of course, the important part is Asia. If the three girls you mentioned specialize in singing, it's a good idea. As time progresses, large groups also need fresh blood or selling points, and small teams may be. Personalized units, diversified units, opening up new fan groups, different styles, this should be the driving force to maintain agency, perhaps let Girls' Generation flourish forever... Ahem is one of the ways to survive for a long time. ”

"Really..."Li Xiuman was still thinking about the various issues that extended from the topic itself. It's not that he didn't think of Xu Canhao's words, but for some reason, if he confirms it from the other party, he will feel more at ease. In a flash, Lee so-man realized a key point that made him more confident, that is, the team members themselves, Seo Hyun and Kim Tae-yeon, whose identity has changed--- in other words, he still fully recognizes Seo Chan-ho's ability to win stars.

"Do-do." The door of the study opened, and it was Li Xiankui who came in and told his father that Bao'er was coming.

Xu Canhao couldn't help but look nervous when he heard this, but in the next second, he moved his whole face when he got up and lowered his head to relieve the pressure on his face, so as not to laugh ugly when his muscles were too strong.

"Let's get out, dinner should be ready." Li Xiuman took Xu Canhao's shoulders and walked out.

*********************************************************************

Boa and Seo Chan-ho come out of the Li family's house, while Sunny stays at his uncle's house for one night. On the way back to her apartment in Chan Ho's hitchhiker, she was choked with silence, and finally broke the tenacious situation of the pin drop in the car when she approached the Jamsil Courtyard.

"Boom... Is it true that OPPA is going to stay silent? From start to finish, it's um, oh. No wonder Shun Kyu looks at us with strange eyes. ”

"What? You just said... West? This is the first time Xu Canhao has seen Bao'er swearing, and his heart can be said to be shocked, but he can't stand deep thought, but it seems that he should be.

"It's amazing~ Is it the atmosphere to talk about this now?" Bao'er said angrily, twisting her head out of the window, with a look that she didn't want to look at the other party at all, but in fact, it was more to avoid the shame and embarrassment caused by the swear words that came out of her heart because of her urgency.

Xu Canhao made Bao'er's stiff and resentful words speechless, and simply continued to focus on driving without squinting with a straight face, as if nothing had happened just now, and there was no such person around him.

"Yike!! Stop the car! Caught in the silence of the car for a long time, Bao'er's sudden roar frightened Xu Canhao almost without losing the steering wheel.

"Crazy!? Abrupt. Xu Canhao's anger also jumped suddenly, and he tightened his grip on the direction and put the car back on track.

"Look where this is, do you want to take me to your house!?" Not to be outdone, Bo'er roared back.

It turned out that Xu Canhao was overly diverted, but he relied on his instinct to unconsciously drive in a circle, returned to Seocho, and was heading in the direction of Seocho Villa. After reacting, he saw that there was not much traffic on the road, so he turned sharply and changed lanes, and immediately turned around and left. Angry road syndrome erupted at the same time.

"Stop." Bao'er said coldly.

Xu Canhao ignored it, still driving fast.

"Stop, let me go down." Bao'er's tone was still cold, like the cold rain that had just fallen outside the window.

"How could this possibly allow you to go back alone!? Are you an ordinary person? Xu Canhao saw that Bao'er had unfastened her seat belt, and quickly lowered her speed and grabbed her forearm.

"So oppa, isn't it dangerous for me to drive in your current state?" Bao'er said in a fierce voice, shaking off Xu Canhao's hand.

Xu Canhao reflected on this question, slowly resumed driving at a normal speed, and after his lips puffed out for a long time, he apologized softly to anyone.

"What?" Bao'er sneered, pretending not to hear clearly, and asked.

Xu Canhao was helpless, took a deep breath, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I really have someone I like, you also know..."

"Okay, okay, I know, stop! Please let me down, there is a taxi in front of me, I'll just go back by myself, not far, ok? Thank you. Without saying a word, Bao'er threw off her seat belt again, lowered the window, and waved at the passengerless taxi in the lane next to her, and the car slowly leaned towards the side of the road.

Xu Canhao, who was completely out of temper, had no choice but to pull over in front of the taxi as Bao'er wished, and saw Bao'er open the door and get out of the car, helpless. wanted Bao'er to report her safety on the phone when she got home, but when she saw her bulging face, she couldn't open her mouth.

"I don't know what you like about Taeyeon." The moment Bao'er was about to hit the door, she dropped such a sentence coldly, and then shook her head and got into the taxi and walked away, without giving the stunned Xu Canhao even a moment to react.
