Chapter 2 Prince No. 1 Store
When Lee Min Joo hurried to the café, she saw the person sitting in front of her nephew Lee Sung-hyun. A little surprised: "Park Zhentai? Why are you here? Sage, did he ask you to sign a contract? ”
'Auntie, do you know Editor-in-Chief Park?' ’
Looking at his aunt with an surprised face, Li Shengxian was actually even more surprised. And there is another accident, of course, is the website editor Park Jin-tae. He didn't seem to expect that Lee Sung-hyun's aunt would be Lee Min-joo, a strong female lawyer.
Seeing that the aunt and nephew were very surprised, Park Zhentai also got up and said with a smile: "Hello, Lawyer Li!" See you again! I really didn't expect that Sage Xi was your nephew. This time, it was indeed me who asked Sage XI to sign a contract, but it's a good thing! ”
After beckoning Lee Min-joo to sit down, Park Jin-tae also roughly explained the matter of signing a contract with Lee Sung-hyun today. Hearing that her nephew was thinking about online novels again, Lee Min-joo was even more surprised.
With a curious face, he said, "Sage, you wrote the 'Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop'?" ”
Lee Min-joo, who usually pays attention to some hot topics on the Internet, occasionally reads books on the Internet.
She has also been paying attention to this web novel of 'Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop'. But she would never have imagined that the author of the pen name 'Ren Fei Sage' turned out to be her nephew.
Facing his aunt's disbelief, Li Shengxian blushed slightly and said, "Yes! When I first came to Seoul, I didn't like to go out. When I came here for coffee, I suddenly came up with the story of 'No. 1 Shop', and I thought about writing about it.
At that time, I was just looking for something to do to pass the time, but I didn't expect it to attract so much attention. However, now that I am living on my own, I should also be self-sufficient. I'm a little embarrassed to spend your money all the time! ”
'Yikes! You kid, are you still so close to your aunt? ’
Li Shengxian, who was beaten, naturally didn't dare to say anything in front of this powerful aunt. He also knows that since the death of his parents, these relatives in the family are afraid that he will do something stupid if he can't think about it.
As long as he opens his mouth to what he wants, his relatives will find a way to buy it for him. Even if Lee Sung-hyun wanted to come to Seoul to live alone, he was worried about his grandparents coming here, but finally agreed to let him come to Seoul.
The whole family has only one purpose, hoping that this Li Shengxian, who has lost his cheerful and cheerful smile in the past, can regain his former self. But in Li Shengxian's opinion, how difficult it is to recover what was lost!
Lee Min-joo, who understood what had happened, quickly took the contract from Park Jin-tae and looked at it, and found that there were no contract traps, so he handed it to Lee Sung-hyun and said, "Take a look at this contract, is there anything that needs to be changed?" ”
Li Shengxian, who also read it carefully, was not too surprised by the share of physical publishing. But when I saw the latter one, I frowned a little and said: "Can you change it with the website publicity and the signing meeting?" ”
Although it was the first time he had encountered such a thing, Li Shengxian still knew it. After some authors publish their books, they will do some book signings with the website. But Li Shengxian is not used to too lively scenes now.
'Sage xi, the signing meeting is also a good publicity channel for the author. At each book signing, we will arrange for reporters to follow up and report. It is still very helpful to enhance your fame. ’
I don't understand why Lee Sung-hyun resisted such a good thing so much, Park Jin-tae, but he still gave a timely explanation. It's just that this is a good thing that ordinary authors won't refuse, but Li Shengxian doesn't seem to care very much.
'Editor-in-Chief Park, I'm still a student. I applied to the school for self-study at home, but I also applied because I was not used to the classroom teaching environment. I'm not used to this kind of lively occasion. So, can this article be amended?
Of course, if a book fan asks for my autograph, you can bring it to me. I'll meet the conditions of these book lovers, and as for the book signing, I'm still not comfortable with it. In that case, it will affect my emotional and physical recovery. ’
Just when Park Zhentai felt very puzzled, Lee Min-joo quickly said: "Editor-in-chief Park, let's remove this one!" You don't need to hold a book signing, and you can save a lot of publicity costs for your website.
My nephew's situation is a bit peculiar, and I hope your website will consider it. If Editor-in-Chief Park is embarrassed, I can give you President Kim a phone call, and I believe that he will give me a face on this kind of issue. ”
In fact, when Lee Min-joo appeared, Park Jin-tae realized that the website could not take any advantage in the matter of signing a contract with Lee Sung-hyun. The reason is very simple, Li Minzhu's identity is not as simple as a lawyer.
So Park Jin-tae quickly smiled and said, "Okay, since it involves the physical recovery of Sage XI, then I can make the decision to avoid this article without alarming President Kim." When the contract is signed, I'll report back to him when I get back. ”
With Lee Sung-hyun having no other opinions and signing his name on the signing contract, Lee Min-joo also quickly filled in his name in the guardian column. And Park Jin-tae was also very timely, handing a sealed contract to Lee Sung-hyun.
After the signing was completed, Park Zhentai didn't wait long before getting up and saying, "Lawyer Li, Sage XI, the company still has things to deal with, so I'll take the first step." I'll get back to you when the book goes on sale. ”
After shaking hands and saying goodbye, he looked at Park Jin-tae who left the café. Li Minzhu, who sat down again, also said with some concern: "Sage, aren't you used to staying in crowded places now?" ”
For Lee Min-joo, Lee Sung-hyun's physical and mental recovery is the most important. Originally, I wanted to take Lee Sung-hyun to see a psychiatrist, but I was worried that it would touch Lee Sung-hyun's sensitive and fragile nerves. In the end, she still chose to let Li Shengxian adjust slowly.
No, I just don't think I'm going to be comfortable in that situation. Writing books anyway is just a little hobby of mine. For a short time, I didn't want to be famous. What's more, I'm also afraid that the school will think that I have lied to them.
After all, I applied for homeschooling in the name of physical rehabilitation. If I let the school know, I don't go to school, but I do some kind of signing party outside. I'm afraid that the school won't agree to me continuing to study at home, right? ’
understands that Lee Min Joo is still very concerned about matters involving his physical and mental recovery. Li Shengxian, who didn't want her to worry, quickly came up with a reason to persuade and comfort. In fact, he really wasn't used to too busy occasions.
Usually when he goes shopping, Li Shengxian will choose a time when the flow of people is relatively scarce. This kind of lone ranger-like life, although it is a little lonely. But Li Shengxian felt that there was no pressure, but he was more calm and comfortable.
Li Minzhu, who came in a hurry, didn't stay in the café for long. As a lawyer in Seoul, there are few well-known female lawyers, and there are still many clients looking for her. Seeing that she had something to do, Li Shengxian also asked her to go to work first.
Lee Sung-hyun, who became alone in the café again, saw that when lunch time came, there were more guests in the originally quiet café. So he packed his things, quickly left the café, and returned to his residence by the Han River with his computer bag on his back.
This one-bedroom and three-hall house on the eighteenth floor was also purchased and renovated by Li Shengxian's father before his death. Although Lee Sung-hyun's family rarely returned to South Korea before, they also bought this house, and occasionally returned to South Korea to save money for hotel stays.
In general, Li Shengxian's family conditions are relatively superior in the eyes of many people. As for the apartment where Lee Sung-hyun lives, the price is hundreds of millions of won, and ordinary working families simply can't afford it.
Back in the slightly empty and quiet home, I stood in front of the window for a while, listening to the protests coming from my stomach. Lee Sung-hyun was also very skillful and began to go into the kitchen to cook lunch.
Every time he cooks, Lee Sung-hyun can feel it again. These are obviously Chinese dishes, and he didn't know how to cook them when he was in the United States. Even his mother, who is an authentic Chinese, cooks more Chinese food.
Sometimes, Lee Sung Hyun feels that he is no longer the same person in the United States at this moment. Instead, he was replaced by another person, and some of these really delicious Chinese dishes that even his mother couldn't cook. So how could he?
Maybe it's because he can't find the answer too many times, and over time, Li Shengxian no longer thinks about these questions. At least he knew that the extra messy memories in his head had allowed him to get used to living alone in Seoul.
There is no need for his relatives to continue to worry about him, Li Shengxian also has a feeling that he has finally grown up. And he believes that if his parents see him at this moment, they will definitely feel relieved and relieved for him!
