Chapter 17: Why Return
As everyone expected, the highest ratings of the broadcast on April 29 reached 48.6%, and the average rating was 39.5%, which became a hot variety show with the highest ratings at present. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, there are also various arguments such as "relying on big names to attract attention" and "waiting for the next crash" mixed in the sea of praise. For this reason, the program team has hollowed out their minds on the selection of guests for the second episode, but they don't want to increase the difficulty again because of a move by the artist union.
At the beginning of this year, the heated discussions caused by U-NEE and Zheng Duobin, who committed suicide one after another, made the artist union feel pressure. The appeal in March was filed by the Seoul District Court, and 16 entertainment and brokerage companies, large and small, were punished (S.M. was not among them due to its good performance in recent years), but none of them were fatal. In April, the bill to "strengthen the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of entertainers" was not passed in the National Assembly, and since then the anger of trade unions and artists has exploded. There are constant protests on the Internet, demonstrations in reality, strikes are happening from time to time, and many artists who are really fed up with oppression are willing to take out loan sharks and terminate their contracts with their agencies. At this time, some people relied on the relationship of their predecessors to find a clear way--- pointing directly at Xu Canhao--- the prestige of conscience in the industry, and his e-life company.
"Those who have a guarantee can borrow from the fund. As for wanting to join the company... You can contact Managing Director Cui, if the company has the ability to accept it, you may wish to conduct an assessment. Headache~ Let's do it yourself. "The crew of the artillery fire stopped work twice in three days in response to a joint strike organized by the trade unions, which has annoyed the crew leaders. Now, Xu Canhao is entangled in all kinds of miscellaneous things, and even if there is no shooting that day, he feels exhausted. After hanging up Cha Shulan's phone, he simply asked Jeon Jin-ah to cut off contact with the outside world, and took advantage of the shutdown to hide in Jeju Island, his own Xiute Hotel.
Early morning sea fishing and kendo have become his hobbies for self-cultivation. Afternoon diving is a hobby. At dusk, it's also nice to dine alone on the warm sandy beach at sunset. At this time of year, the headland is the most beautiful, with the golden butter cauliflower as the base, and the nearby blue coastline, and the occasional short-legged horse jumping into the painting galloping back and forth, so that everyone who comes here will not want to return. Like all resorts, there are beautiful and poignant legends here, but it's a pity that Xu Canhao didn't see the fairies of the nether realm, and he thought that he would have to recruit them to join his company after encountering them, and ask if the old immortal who kicked him back to the world was still alive. I didn't go to the big bath (Chengshan Sunrise Peak) to see, there are too many tourists up and down, and the fairy will never show up at this time.
I saw the world's largest teddy bear, which turned out to be a wooden mechanical bear. Again, there's the most expensive LV teddy. At that time, I joked with the curator and sold it to myself, and I thought it was funny when I saw his embarrassed and stunned expression. The teddy who is based on himself is in the independent large booth, with a long Grammy trophy at the foot of the bear, wearing a black and white classic tuxedo, and the iconic big back and short sideburns make people recognize at a glance that he is a popular Korean singer all over the world. This is an exhibition hall of historical memories, but the protagonist of the year has been replaced by the cute teddy bear, which is vivid and interesting. What made Xu Canhao feel sorry was that he didn't bring his beloved sister here, and he felt lonely when he wandered around alone, and he suddenly felt happy. Before leaving, I bought a teddy dressed in a different era for each of the girls, thought of Cha Tae-hyun's wife's due date at the end of the year, and bought a family photo of Teddy for the future little nephew/daughter.
It's nearly dusk again. On the return car, through my sunglasses, I saw salted duck eggs hanging in the air that were about to overflow with oil, and a thin ribbon covered my waist, and somehow I remembered the award ceremony (Baeksang Art) on the 25th. was frequently nominated, but missed one award after another, and finally missed the Filmmaker Award, and once again won the popularity trophy that was like comfort. The ribbon turned into a file, falling from the sky and swooping head-on into the body of the lost man, dancing in the atrium of the heart, and the pain was irrepressible. The yolk was a little dazzling, and the moment he closed his eyes, the ribbon flew back to the old place, covering the last of the touching brilliance, and also taking away the shame and anger after being almsged. At this time, my thoughts are like rootless pines, wandering around with the wind and waves. The accompanying inexplicable complicated mood quickly grew lush branches in this idle time, on which lonely flowers bloomed, bearing gloomy fruits, and could not wait for it to ripen and fall.
"President, someone from Seoul is here." The driver arranged by the hotel pointed to the black gold AB helicopter on the tarmac to wake up the chairman of his own house who closed his eyes and was distracted.
Xu Canhao opened his eyes when he heard this, and before he had time to take a look, the car drove into front of the hotel, and Li Dongxu, who was waiting in the hall, immediately greeted him. "What's the matter, rushing to find it?" didn't answer, Li Dongxu's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer. "What's wrong?" Xu Canhao's doubts deepened, and it was the first time he had seen Li with this look.
"You'll know when you go up." Li Dongxu's expression became even more strange, and he actually pulled his own chairman and stretched out his hand to lead the way.
The two got on the elevator without saying a word, and when no one was around, Xu Canhao, who was still confused, couldn't help but ask: "Ah, no... You won't arrange a variety show for me without permission, right? As he spoke, he looked up at the camera in the elevator.
“nae?” Li Dongxu was stunned by these words for a long time, but in order to hold back his laughter, his face turned red.
"Yikes! It can't be, right? Ha~ Really. Who let you make your own decisions..."Finally came out to relax completely, and even put such a thing on the table, Xu Canhao was really angry, and he blamed Li Dongxu angrily.
"No, no. It's really not, haha..."It's the first time that Lee Dong Wook has been so out of shape in front of the president, and it's okay to laugh and laugh at all times, but today's events really shouldn't be so funny.
"It's not nothing, it's not that it's smiling so weirdly." Xu Canhao is suspicious of the sick criminal.
"Haha... Not really. It's Yuna, Yuna's mother wants to see you. Li Dongxu smiled hard, and he didn't want to be in a hurry to clarify the misunderstanding, but he said the words that were difficult to speak just now.
"Ah, like words!? With such an excuse ... Who? Yuna's mother!? Xu Canhao's eyes widened like a large light bulb.
"Well, that's right. I was waiting with Mr. Lin at the restaurant. Li Dongxu cleaned up his expression and returned to his duty of defense, Zhengse said.
"This..." Xu Canhao couldn't digest the shocking news like C4 for a while, leaned back on the elevator rail, and stared at himself in the opposite mirror in a daze. Does Yuna know? It was a long time before he spoke.
"Well, I didn't go to the company today, I stayed at the villa. Miss Yunjin was with her. Lee Dong Wook didn't say that Yoona ran away from his house and cried back to Seocho along the way.
"Oh~ do you know what's going on?" Xu Canhao leaned against the wall and sighed.
Li Dongxu shook his head and did not answer. He won't take the initiative to inquire about this kind of thing, unless it is ordered by Xu Canhao. The two fell silent again, and Li Dongxu guided Xu Canhao all the way to the front of the private room of the restaurant.
"Only two?" Xu Canhao was dressed and asked.
“nae。” Li Dongxu nodded yes, his hand was already on the doorknob, and he opened the door for him after the chairman finished tidying up.
It's not the first time I've seen Mother Lin, and those black-and-white wedding photos are still in the drawer of Father Lin's desk. When the door opened, the moment Mother Lin turned around, Xu Canhao almost didn't recognize her, she was much whiter and fatter than before. In addition to the spin on the forehead and a pair of clear apricot eyes that are almost exactly the same as their daughter, it is difficult to see the kinship between the two from the face. Moreover, Yun'er's grandmother, aunt, and aunt, including her father, all have low cheekbones, but Lin's mother has high cheekbones and deep eye sockets, so she can't connect her now with Ms. Kim Hye-ja in the photo back then.
"Uncle, have you been here for a long time?" This is nonsense. At the same time that Xu Canhao saluted the two, the "couple" opposite also stood up, apparently to formally salute.
"Soon. Is it okay to rest here? There is almost no embarrassing estrangement between the three of them, and they seem to be deliberately downplaying the entanglements that have been in the past. Father Lin smiled and sat down. Lin Mu and Chan Hao smiled and nodded to each other, and then sat down.
"Hmm. The air is good, and so is the scenery at this time. The two of you are not busy, can you stay and play for a few days? ”
"Hehe, I won't be able to, there are many things in the factory. On the contrary, Ms. Kim can see the scenery of Jeju Island, which she has not seen for a long time. Father Lin's words made the woman with coiled hair beside him look stiff.
Xu Canhao echoed the dry smile, wanting to drink saliva, only to raise his glass and find that it was empty. There was no one in the room, perhaps to facilitate a few conversations. I just had to call for myself.
"Xu Canhaoxi, hello." Mother Lin looked solemn, as if she was participating in a politically charged press conference, sat on her seat, and leaned over to formally salute Xu Canhao again.
Xu Canhao knew that he was on the right topic, so he immediately returned the salute and silenced him.
"Thank you for taking care of my daughter all the time." Mother Lin saluted for the third time.
Xu Canhao also has to be respectful.
"Although..."Lin Mu paused, twisted the white porcelain coffee cup with her left hand and pecked lightly, the stone on her ring finger that looked like a pink diamond was very eye-catching. It's a bit of a rudeness, but don't mind. ”
"Speak, please." Xu Canhao glanced at the expressionless Uncle Lin and said.
"Thank you." Jin Huizi smiled and leaned over to thank him. "Auntie... Please allow an elder to call it that. My aunt wants to ask you to tell Yun'a and ask her to forgive her mother for being selfish this time, and to rush back to China to see them. I don't expect children to forgive and understand what happened before, I just hope that they can live happily as they do now. So, please. After speaking, he bowed deeply to Chan Hao.
Tell yourself to take care of Yuna, no problem. It's no problem to persuade the girl. If you put aside the relationship with the Lin family, Chanhao can sit here and accept this request very objectively. However, Father Lin... Still didn't say anything, Xu Canhao really wanted to get some information from him in order to make himself willful.
Seeing that Xu Canhao didn't answer, Ms. Jin sighed lightly and said, "I have two sons, and I love me very much... Husband, they are waiting for me in Italy. I love them too, and Yoon-jin, Yoon-a... I'm sorry to say such a cheeky thing to you. ”
Xu Canhao didn't care who she loved at all, he wanted to know what was going on between the immobile father Lin and this lady. However, reason told him that since he didn't ask back then, there is no need to inquire into the privacy of his elders now, it must be a sad past, a story of compromise with reality.
"It's hard to know how to repay you for taking care of the children. If you have the opportunity to go to Europe, please let me know..."Ms. Kim.
I can't let this noble lady go on anymore, I feel that it is a kind of injury to my sincerity, and there is no reason to accept the reward because of the feelings that have arisen. "I'm sorry, I can't accept your please." Xu Canhao's words surprised the two. "I will treat my sister as I am, regardless of the past, the future, sympathy or self-esteem, as long as I want to, whatever I do is sincere." Xu Canhao said to each other.
"I'm sorry, but I slighted President Xu." Jin Huizi, who was stunned for a while, sincerely bowed her head and apologized.
"Chan-ho, let's have a meal together and then go back, go see Yun'a." Father Lin, who had been silent for a long time, was actually helping Ms. Jin at this time.
Xu Canhao sighed silently in his heart, trying to exhale a depressed breath. "Lee Dong Wook! Let them serve. The voice was a little loud, and anyone could feel the suppressed anger in his tone.
Father Lin laughed awkwardly, and swallowed the man's bitterness with white water.
The food is not sweet, that is to say, these three diners with their own thoughts now. In the end, a table of Korean food was barely touched, and the three of them stopped one after another, ending the meeting that made Xu Canhao feel like a fish in his throat.
When I arrived in Seoul, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Xu Canhao went home alone, they didn't talk about the two elders, and they didn't have time to ask more questions, they just wanted to hurry up and see how Yun'er was doing.
"You're back~ Let's go and see Yun'er, it's been a whole day, lock yourself in your room." There is no one at home, and it is the cooking aunt who greets her.
"Where's Yunjin?" Xu Canhao kicked off his shoes in twos, took off his coat and gave it to his aunt, and asked Li Dongxu to take someone to put the accompanying items back into his house.
"Stay upstairs."
"Have you eaten?"
"No, neither of them ate."
Xu Canhao sighed, closed his eyes and patted his tense face, and said to his aunt, "Please prepare light food and make some soup or porridge." So saying, he went upstairs. He couldn't figure out how to phrase it, so it took him a few blinks of time to think about it every time he took a step.
"Son?" Xu's parents arrived home with Canhao almost before and after, and they happened to see their son going up the ladder like a snail, and he was very worried. Mother Xu stopped him.

PS: I write this chapter with a heart of apology to Yoona. Writing and writing, I don't dare to talk about other people's family affairs anymore, for fear that it will hurt people and play the piano.
PS2: After all, I still didn't resist... I have a stomach problem, and in the past few days, I have begun to have flatulence in the evening, and I am extremely uncomfortable. If it affects the update, please forgive me. Toilet ah Mi Da~
