Chapter 4 CUBE

Chapter 4 cube

Carrying his luggage, Zheng Xiuxun strolled alone through the crowded streets, the streets near the trainee dormitory were all too familiar to him, every corner, where every alley led, in his mind like a living map, he could plan a route home in the shortest time.

With a faint parting thought, the mood was very low for no reason, and without staying on the street for too long, Zheng Xiuxun stopped a taxi and prepared to go home.

His home is actually not far from JYP's company, JYP's headquarters building is in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District, and his house is not far from Nonhyeon-dong, the so-called rich gathering place in the Korean population. That's wrong, his family is middle-class at best, and the reason why he lives in such a good place is mainly because of his parents.

The two have been away from home for a long time to work overseas, and they feel very sorry for the grandparents who worked hard to raise Zheng Xiuxun in South Korea, so they gritted their teeth and bought a very comfortable house for the three of them, a two-story European-style duplex building, but unfortunately the second elder did not have time to enjoy a comfortable life for a few days, and both died, and Zheng Xiuxun did not like to be alone in an empty house.

So even though his home was not far from the company, he didn't choose to go home, but went to live in the company's dormitory with everyone.

Pushing open the gate of the courtyard and entering the small lawn in front of the house, there is a small flower pond with all kinds of flowers planted by Zheng Xiuxun's grandmother, but because no one has taken care of them, the flowers inside have long since died, leaving only the surface covered with thick moss.

Returning to the empty room again, the luggage was scattered on the ground, Zheng Xiuxun sat on the sofa in a daze, the house did not look very dirty because no one lived, he would come back to live for a day or two every month, and he would clean it carefully every time.

I got up and simply packed my luggage, and the sky outside slowly became dark, the early spring night always came so quickly, there was nothing to eat at home, fortunately, there were leftover instant noodles, barely able to eat.

After a while, Zheng Xiuxun came to the living room with a bowl of steaming instant noodles, today is the weekend, after looking at the current time, he quickly turned on the TV and locked SBS TV, just as "Popular Ballads" has just begun, as a person who aspires to become an artist, it is inevitable to pay attention to the singing programs of the three major TV stations on the weekend.

At this time, I don't know which company is performing on the stage, but the performance is very hard, but the stage effect is quite average, it looks quite boring, after a few glances, Zheng Xiuxun shifted his attention to the instant noodles, and the wonderful ones can always be seen later.

After a few more songs, the second half of "Popular Ballads" brought his attention back to the TV, and after a male solo singer had finished, nine girls in white tops and short skirts appeared on stage.

"Girls' Generation?" Zheng Xiuxun recognized it at a glance, after all, he is an artist under SM Company, even if he is still a newcomer, he can't be underestimated, it can be seen from the order of appearance, as well as the voice of on-site support.

And they are also the biggest competitors of JYP's rookie girl group wondergirls, the girl group market has finally shown signs of recovery after a long period of decadence, and it is the rookie girl groups led by wondergirls and Girls' Generation that make people see signs of revival of girl groups.

Girls' Generation performed the title song of their album "kissingyou", which is still a style that shows the sweet atmosphere of the girl's youth, with nine slightly young faces, as if a cheerful atmosphere for the stage, coupled with a neat dance, giving people a very strong visual impact, which is also what SM artists are best at.

"When I was at the trainee conference in 06, I seem to have seen a few people here" pinching his chin, Zheng Xiuxun muttered to himself, he didn't remember the specific name, but he did have an impression in his mind, he still remembered that one of the beautiful girls, what was called 'Yun'er, Yun'er'.

Recalling his pride at the trainee conference, the corners of Zheng Xiuxun's mouth raised slightly, but back to reality, his happy mood did not last long, and now everyone has made his debut, but he is still just a trainee.

The frustrated love only lasted for a short while, after all, he was still young, wasn't he? Although it is a bit self-defeating, but the truth is that he is only 17 years old this year, and the future is still full of infinite possibilities.

The next day, Jung so-hoon woke up early, and after a little touch, he was ready to go to the place where Hong Seung-sung told him to visit the new company.

Hong Shengcheng's address to him is Building 125-20 Cheongdam-dong, which seems to be quite close to JYP, JYP is in Building 123-50, and it can be seen from the address that the new company's funds are quite sufficient, and it was actually based in Cheongdam-dong from the beginning.

I took the car to the place where the address is, got off the car, and in front of me was the 125-20 building, about the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors were covered by cloth, and it should be the logo of the new company, because it has not yet been established, so it is temporarily kept secret, the door is closed, but I can see the front desk lady sitting inside, hesitated, Zheng Xiuxun pushed open the door and came inside, it felt like it had just been renovated, and there was a faint smell of paint in the air.

A brand new red carpet is laid on the floor, and the wall behind the front desk is hung with the artistic font 'cubeentertainment'.

“cube?” Zheng Xiuxun muttered in a low voice, this should be the name of the new company.

"Hello, is there anything I can do to help?" The front desk lady asked with a sweet smile.

"Hello, I'm here to find President Hong Seung-sung......" Jung so-hoon replied.

"Oh, you're Jung so-hoon, right? The president has explained, if you come, just go to his office and find him, the president's office is on the top floor," said the front desk lady.

"Thank you" bowed in gratitude, Zheng Xiuxun followed the direction pointed by the front desk lady and came to the elevator, and I don't know if the company has officially opened, because it is too quiet.

There are only 3 rooms on the top floor, and the innermost one is Hong Shengcheng's office, the door is not closed, but hidden, and when he comes to the door, Zheng Xiuxun raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in" After a while, Hong Shengcheng's voice came from inside.

Hearing this, Zheng Xiuxun pushed open the door, walked in, bowed respectfully and shouted, "Hello, president" At this time, Zheng Xiuxun found that there was still someone inside, and hurriedly shouted "Hello"

"Hehe, it's Xiuxun" Hong Shengcheng nodded with a smile on his face and said, then pointed to the strange man next to him and said, "Sit down first, let me introduce you, this is the art director of our company, Park Chang Ho xi"

"Hello," Jung so-hoon stood up again and shouted respectfully.

"Don't be so polite" Park Chang Ho waved his hand, "Boy, I've seen some of your videos from the JYP period, and I've also heard some of your self-composed songs, you're a good seedling, I'm very optimistic about you, so call me Brother M.K in the future."

"Yes, I see," Jung so-hoon nodded.

"Xiuxun, don't look at M.K as if he is very unreliable, but he is very well-known in the circle, and you will have to learn from him in the future."

"Well, I will, I hope that M.K will cultivate me at that time, because my dream is to become a big star, have my own stage, and I have absolute confidence in my own ability" Zheng Xiuxun swore that it might seem a little rude, but he still had to say these words.

"Yes, boy, you have a very good appetite for me, and I like young people like you" Park Chang-ho showed a slight smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a look of appreciation.

"Okay, since Xiuxun is here, let's take him on a tour of the company," Hong Shengcheng said after chatting for a while.

So, the three of them left the office and came to the practice room below, because it had not officially opened for business, the floor of the practice room seemed very quiet, and the three of them slowly visited all the way, and Hong Shengcheng also introduced Zheng Xiuxun to him.

"The audio equipment in the company's singing studio is imported from the United States, so Xiuxun can rest assured about the hardware."

"Actually, from the moment I saw the company's address, I knew that the company's hard power should be good, after all, the land price in Cheongdam-dong is not cheap," Jung so-hoon said with a smile.

"That's right, since I've decided to start a company, then I must strive to be the best" Hong Shengcheng said in a small voice, but full of confidence.

Soon, the company was almost finished, and the three of them returned to the office.

"You must know the name of the company, it's called cube, I'm still busy preparing for the dormitory for the past two days, after this matter is done, the company will be officially opened, as the company's first trainee, Xiuxun will sign your contract" Saying that, Hong Shengcheng took out a contract and put it on the table.

After a cursory glance, Zheng Xiuxun happily signed his name on it, and from this moment on, he officially belonged to the CUBE company.
