When it was dark outside the window, Jiang Zhican, who was lying on the table, woke up suddenly, wiped his face, he got up and made himself a cup of coffee, and stood by the window looking at the city under the gray and white sky. Little by little, the lights go out, the traffic becomes larger, and the city is gradually recovering in the brighter and brighter skylight.

"Good morning, Taeyeon-san." He dialed the phone and said.

"Well, wait a minute!"

There was a noise on the phone, followed by Kim Taeyeon's voice, "Bad boy, so early? ”

"Okay, you're in a beauty salon?"

"Or else?" Kim Taeyeon asked rhetorically, affected by the card issuance fraud incident, Kim Taeyeon has never given him a good face when he calls in the past few days, and most of the people who are called bad boys, high school students, deceitful ghosts, etc., save the effort of covering people's eyes.

"Sister Taeyeon, you're really dedicated." Jiang Zhican said.

"You are not bad with each other, and the phone call once a day is getting earlier and earlier every day."

"It should."

"Well, let me tell you, I'm going to Japan tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so don't call, the long-distance fee is so expensive."

"Uh... So frugal? ”

"That's one thing, and that's the other thing, well... How to say it, it's just that suddenly someone calls you every day to say hello, it feels weird, I want to stop for two days, okay? ”

"Of course, are you here today?"

"Well, a brand jewelry promotion meeting, it seems that there are gifts to give, Pani and I together, she said that the brand is very good, but I feel quite embarrassed, I still haven't remembered what brand it is called."

"Yes, jewelry..." Jiang Zhican repeated a sentence of jewelry in a low voice, not knowing what he thought, and his eyes were clouded. The mobile phone in his hand suddenly rang a prompt tone, and a second call came in, he glanced at it, said goodbye to Kim Taeyeon, and then connected:

"Hello Cao PD."

"Well, Naochan, didn't disturb your sleep, did you?" Cao Xiaozhen asked with a smile.

"No, I'm already up."

"Hehe, it's rare for young people to get up so early. Well, I called here today, just to tell you, the assessment time has been completely set, on the 27th of next month, there are not many people, only twenty-two, compared to the five admission places, the admission rate is not low, but I briefly looked at their resumes, everyone is extraordinary. Nao-chan, you have to come on! ”

"Yes, okay, I'll work PDnim!" Jiang Zhican replied in a low voice.

"Well, how are you reviewing these days, the video is okay, right?" Cao Xiaozhen asked.

“··· I'm not very serious about you saying that I'm doing nothing. Jiang Zhican was a little embarrassed.

"Haha, it's a good thing to do nothing, being able to do nothing means that you still have confidence in your heart, and there is still a month to go, and you may be able to succeed if you have a sprint review."

"Well, thank you, I'll try." Jiang Zhican responded, and then hung up the phone, he picked up the coffee, and suddenly realized that the coffee in the cup was cold at some point. This made him lose the interest in continuing to drink coffee, and he returned to his desk, staring at his computer, and after a few moments, turned on an audio clip and began to play the results of last night's work.

"Sounds good!"

The door opened, and IU, wearing a mask and hat, entered from the outside, carrying a plastic bag in his hand, and said with his mouth open.

"How many points?" Jiang Zhican asked.

"Wait, is that all?"

"Well, I have more than enough heart but not enough strength, which is probably my current situation." Jiang Zhican lay on his back on the chair, and the whole person shrank down, looking a little decadent.

"Don't! Don't be bitter, I feel like a coquette, I can't stand a boy doing this. Well, have breakfast! ”

IU was in a good mood, took out the breakfast in the plastic bag, arranged it neatly, and then took the red bean porridge to himself, and stuffed the crispy little pastries into his mouth while drinking.

"You've got a great appetite." Jiang Zhican said.

"Thanks for the compliment. But I rarely eat like this, and today is just a special case. IU explained.

The two have similar dietary preferences, although Jiang Zhican did not specifically advise, but he almost didn't hate the breakfast that IU bought. At this time, he got up from his chair, took a string of glutinous rice balls and ate them slowly, and drank a sip of sweet soup from time to time, looking calm. Then after a while, he asked, "When you went back last night, Soxuan didn't make you feel burdened, did you?" ”

"What do you say?" IU gave a roll of his eyes.

"Uh, I'm sorry, bear with me, she's young after all." Jiang Zhican was a little embarrassed.

"I said, it turns out that you are not confused, and you thought that you were dull about this matter, so you brought Xuan Xuan to me." IU said angrily, raised his hand, and slapped Jiang Zhican's cheek twice. Jiang Zhican twisted his head cooperatively, and continued:

"If you don't bring it, you can't do it, that girl lacks love, her father is abroad all the year round, and her mother also flies to South Korea and Australia, and she is alone at home. If it were a child from a poor family, maybe it would be better, and if they had suffered and sinned, the edges and corners would have been smoothed out somewhat. But it's not, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and she has never lacked what she likes, whether it is expensive toys or beautiful clothes. Well, last time, I saw it to her when I met you, and she told me that she was out of love, and I didn't react for a while, and I felt panicked. Thinking about it later, her lovelorn should have been on me at all, and now I think it's funny. ”

"What's so funny about this, the little girl likes you! Your attitude is too inappropriate! IU was a little angry, remembering that Kim So-hyun asked tentatively last night, looking like he cared, and then looked at Jiang Zhichan, who didn't care about it in front of him, and suddenly felt a little worthless for Kim So-hyun.

"No, I'm taking it seriously. However, where can a sixteen-year-old girl's love be solemn and profound? She is probably a sense of attachment to me, after all, my parents are not around. Naturally, I like her, take care of her, protect her, and satisfy her within my ability. But if I really take her liking seriously, then I'm really dizzy. And where is the need to be nervous, when she grows up and her love and aesthetics are completely established, naturally, she will understand how bad the hazy feelings of her girlhood were. ”

"Because I like you as a terrible teacher?" IU asked with a smile.

"Well, probably yes, anyway, since I was a child, none of the things I wanted to protect seemed to have succeeded, which was pretty bad."

"For example?"

"First love." Jiang Zhican thought about it and picked a lighter topic.

"Zhicanxi, almost everyone can't protect this kind of thing like first love." IU was a little speechless.

"But it's not because of emotional problems, but she transferred to another school, and then it seems... It's going abroad, right? Jiang Zhican said a little uncertainly.

"According to what you say, then I'm too, because I'm going to make my debut, so I ruthlessly rejected the Oba I like."

"No, you have the ability to protect, but you made your own choice and decided to give up; And I, there are no two choices, I am the one who is abandoned, IU is the deceased!" Jiang Zhican sighed and made a pitiful expression.

"But Zhican, you are a man, an abandoned man or an abandoned woman, which one do you think is more pitiful?" IU asked seriously, this would be like a literary young woman.

Jiang Zhican rubbed his eyebrows and replied, "It's all pitiful." ”

"Reduce the number to one, just a pair." The corners of IU's mouth are slightly upturned, and he asks the bottom of it.

"Woman."

After being silent for a while, Jiang Zhican gave an answer that deviated from his gender.

"Haha, it's really my own death, it's the same as I thought!" IU smiled and continued, "Well, in order to help my relatives, I decided to contract you to make dance music during the day today, what do you think?" ”

"Really? Thank you so much IU! Jiang Zhican's face was pleasantly surprised, a whole day, which is really a very righteous act for IU who has a busy schedule.

"Well, remember to invite me to dinner when you go back, you go to sleep first, and I'll figure it out for a while." IU got up and moved his body, as if he was going to participate in the kilometer run, quite seriously and seriously.

Jiang Zhican knew that she was clearing her thoughts, so he didn't bother her anymore, and went to the lounge alone in the inner room, closing his eyes and resting. When he woke up, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and IU was still sitting in front of the computer with his waist straight, working seriously. This touched him, coughed quietly, and continued to make with IU.

As night fell, and not to mention the occasional music in the studio, a dinner party was underway in a large meeting room of a brightly lit hotel. And in the corner of this living room, Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany, who were dressed up, were holding goblets and looking curiously at a beautiful woman not far away who was holding the moon with stars.

Compared with this woman, the two of them are genuine artists and stars, but here, they are obscure and look a lot duller. However, they are not newcomers who have just debuted, so they don't care too much about it, but out of the natural gossip psychology of women, they are very curious about who this woman who became the focus of the entire venue as soon as she appeared on the stage.

First of all, it will never be the so-called high-end celebrities in social occasions, because the men around her are all over 30 years old, well-dressed, and most of them are middle-aged men with successful careers.

After that, it should not be a foreign acting star or a chaebol heir, because they have heard this woman's fluent and pure Korean with their own ears, unless she stays in South Korea all the year round, she will never have such a native Korean strength.

In the end, is it a strong business woman? But at the age of twenty years, it is really unbelievable. However, looking at the way she talks competently with the men around her, vaguely guiding the topic, it seems that this possibility is not small.

"Hey, Pani, do you think Sika will be like this in the future, discussing business matters with a bunch of middle-aged men in a dazzling manner? Be a strong woman in business? Kim Taeyeon took a sip of red wine and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, anyway, this woman is about the same age as us, right? Sika would probably not be able to do this at this age. Besides, the mall is like a battlefield, but the competition on the stage is much more cruel, I just hope that Sika can go up safely. Tiffany said casually, suddenly noticing the woman walking towards them, she couldn't help but get nervous, reached out and quietly pulled down the distracted Kim Taeyeon, signaling her to get ready.

"Kim Tae-yeonxi, tiffinyxi, hello, this is Miss Candice, the CEO and Managing Director of Harry Winston's U.S. headquarters, she has something to discuss with you, I hope you can go to the lounge upstairs with her for a while, can I ask you?"

One of the men who followed the woman stepped forward and politely invited.

"H. Harry Winston's CEO!"

Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany's eyes widened at the same time, and they looked at Candice in surprise, then realized that it was rude and quickly lowered their eyes, and then Tiffany replied, "Okay, we're very honored." ”

"This way, please."

The two nodded, followed behind and walked upstairs, looking at each other on the way, only thinking incredible. Harry Winston, the most intuitive comparison, is the jewelry brand represented by Tiffany's English name, these two are parallel super jewelry brands! And what surprised them the most was that the CEO of such a large group was actually a woman of the same age as them, which was really beyond imagination.

As for why the other party invited them, they ignored them. After all, the other party is also a woman, and the things to worry about are naturally greatly reduced.

"Mind trying on a few diamond chains and women's watches for me?"

After entering the lounge, Candice, who had not spoken, asked, her eyes lingering on the two women.

Really! Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany glanced at each other, saw the blush of excitement on each other's faces, and nodded to Candice in agreement. Not long after, Candice looked at the two women wearing HarryWinston's new diamond chain for a long time, nodded, and asked, "Are you willing to be the spokesperson of HarryWinston in Korea?" ”

The two girls are naturally willing, but the contract is in place, this kind of thing, what they say doesn't count, it has to be decided by the company behind it.

"Since you are willing, then the endorsement contract will be sent to your company before twelve o'clock tomorrow noon, presumably your company will not refuse, right?"

"Of course, thank you very much for your favor, we will definitely work hard!" The two bowed and thanked each other, and even after leaving the lounge, they were still immersed in incredible and dreamlike happiness, discussing each other in a whisper, and it was difficult to calm down with excitement.

"Hey, isn't the jewelry brand we're here today with Harry Winston?" Kim Tae-yeon asked.

"Well, it's a brand in our country, and Miss Candice is probably here to cheer it up." Tiffany thought for a moment and said.

"I don't know what kind of contract it will be, will it be nine people or just the two of us?"

"It's definitely two."

"Why?"

"She mentioned this when she was talking to someone on the phone in English."

"Really, wow, Daihatsu!" Kim Taeyeon's little face was about to twitch with a smile.

"But I have to give out red envelopes, hey!" Tiffany scratches her hair.

"Haha, you're!"

"Aren't you?"

The two played and walked away, on the fence on the second floor, Candice looked at the back of the two of them calmly, and the person behind him whispered: "President, Xu Xianxi, who was a girl, is the sister that your brother recognizes." ”

"Well, I know, is there a problem?"

"Nope."

Candice smiled, watched Kim Taeyeon and the two walk away, and then turned to leave.
