After leaving, Zhang Chengyuan took the car to rush back, called Lin Jixiu on the way, and learned that the three of them had already finished eating and went back to the apartment to rest, so he asked Kim Yuki to send him back directly.

After returning to the apartment, he took a little shower and immediately went downstairs to Lin Ji-so's apartment to meet Lin Ji-so, Park Seon-young, and Lee Ji-eun. When I entered the house, I saw the three of them sitting in the living room in their pajamas and chatting.

As soon as they saw him, the three of them immediately stood up, and Park Xuanying shouted, "Uncle, why did you come back?" It's almost ten o'clock now, and we're all ready to go to bed. ”

Zhang Chengyuan frowned slightly and said, "Don't shout at girls, it will be annoying." You girl keeps teaching you over and over again, come here, let me knock a few times. When he stepped forward, he was going to knock Park Xuanying on the head.

Park Xuanying hurriedly hid behind Lin Jixiu, poked his head out and said, "Don't, the strength in your hands is so great, you accidentally knocked my head out." ”

Zhang Chengyuan was just joking with her, but he didn't really want to hit her, seeing her dodging, he didn't bother to catch her, sat on the sofa, and put his arm around Li Zhien, who was standing aside, and let her sit on his lap, and said: "Zhien, from today on, you will be a real singer, and you will work harder in the future!" ”

In his heart, Lee Ji-eun is just like Little Crystal, she is a little girl, so he doesn't think it's a big deal to let her sit on his lap.

But Li Zhien doesn't think so, she is sixteen years old this year, it can be said that she has just started to fall in love, and she is already concerned about the defense of men and women, at this time, she was coldly hugged by Zhang Chengyuan and put on his lap, and her face immediately turned red. Dumbfounded, a little overwhelmed. didn't hear what Zhang Chengyuan said clearly.

Until Zhang Chengyuan said it again. Only then did she react and responded: "Brother Cheng Yuan, I will definitely work hard." "His face was still red.

Zhang Chengyuan saw her face at this time, but he didn't think much about it, turned his head sideways, and said to Lin Zhixiu: "Zhixiu, how will Ji-eun's itinerary be arranged next?" ”

Lin Jixiu said: "I contacted popular songs, music banks and other music programs, and some TV variety shows. There are also some small commercial performances, pictorial shooting, etc., to strive for her to have a higher exposure. Boss, don't worry, I will always pay attention to Ji-eun's itinerary during this time and take care of her. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "With you watching, I am naturally relieved." However, I want to remind you that Ji-eun has just debuted, so don't rush to let her make money. If there are trips that her career is of little or no help to, then simply don't take them. And also. Don't let Ji-eun get too tired. ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "I remember. She didn't plan to give Li Zhien more meaningless notices, but out of the position of the person in charge of the company, she wanted Li Zhien to make some money for the company, but since Zhang Chengyuan said so, she simply omitted all the notices that could be omitted, so as to free up time for Li Zhien to strengthen all aspects of practice.

But Li Zhien said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, I want to take on more performances and make more money." The reason why she became a singer, in addition to her own interests, is also to improve her family's economic situation. At the same time, she also wants to repay Zhang Chengyuan's love and care for her in the past two years by working hard.

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "You are almost not famous now, even if you participate in commercial performances, you can't make much money, it's just a waste of time, if you want to make money, wait until you accumulate some fame." Well, Ji-eun, do you want money for your family? If so, talk to your Jisoo sister and ask her to give you the money! ”

Li Zhien said: "No, our family is doing well now, Brother Cheng Yuan, you don't need to give me any more money." ”

In the past two years, Zhang Chengyuan felt sorry for Li Zhien's family background, and in order to allow her to practice without distractions, he asked Lin Zhixiu to send food, furniture, household appliances and other things to Li Zhien's family in various names, and also rented a comfortable and spacious apartment for their family to move out of the cramped small single room, which can be said to be very caring for them. This made the simple-minded Lee Ji-eun very grateful to Jang Sung-won and Lim Ji-so, and completely treated them as his own brothers and sisters, and even a little closer, trusted them abnormally, and almost obeyed them.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Since you don't want to use money, what are you doing in a hurry to make money?" If you have time, you can study hard, and although you become a singer, you can't pull down your homework. If you still have time, learn some musical instruments, such as playing the guitar or piano. ”

Li Zhien nodded and said, "Brother Cheng Yuan, I know the Tao, I will practice hard." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "Don't be too tired from practicing, lest you get sick, and ask me to spend my true qi to treat you, you must know that my true qi is very precious." ”

Li Zhien smiled and said, "I won't get sick, Brother Cheng Yuan, since I practiced the qigong you taught, my body has been very strong, and I haven't been sick for a long time." ”

Zhang Chengyuan touched her head and said, "You are still hardworking and obedient, unlike your Sister Xuanying, who has almost never seriously practiced the qigong I taught, and after practicing for so long, her physique has not increased much, and she is still weak." ”

Park Xuanying retorted: "How can I be weak and can't help it? Compared to ordinary girls, my strength is not bad, but the three of you are too strong, so it seems that I am weak. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Since you know that your body is not strong enough, why don't you practice well?" ”

Park Xuanying said: "I said it a long time ago, I can't make up my mind at all, so naturally I can't practice." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I think you love to be lazy." ”

Park Xuanying said disapprehantly: "I admit that I like to be lazy, can't I?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said helplessly: "Cheeky girl, if you want to be lazy, be lazy, don't come to me if you suffer in the future." ”

Park Xuanying didn't care and said, "What kind of hardship can you suffer?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "After you debut, you will know the Tao." "Korean artists, especially singers, almost all work non-stop every day, and if they don't have a strong physique, they will get tired and sick sooner or later.

Park Xuanying said: "Are you worried that after my debut, my physical strength will not be able to hold on? It's nothing, though. We'll talk about that when the time comes. You're there anyway. Even if I'm sick, you'll help me with it. ”

Zhang Chengyuan glared at her slightly and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, a lazy girl!" Then he waved his hand and said, "Go, go, it's not too early, you should go to sleep!" Ji-eun, go back to your room and sleep. ”

Park Xuanying and Lee Ji-eun knew that Jang Sung-won should have something to say to Lin Ji-so, so they got up and saluted and left. In addition, before Park Xuanying left, he habitually glared at Jang Sung-won, as if he wanted to remind Jang Sung-won to be kind to Lin Ji-so.

After the two of them went back to the room, Jang Sung-won reached out and hugged Lin Jisoo in his arms and said, "Just now, I talked with Kim Kyu-tae and Liang Yunhao, the two directors of "IRIS", and decided to star in this TV series, so you can follow up on the rest of the related things." ”

Lin Zhixiu nodded in response.

Zhang Chengyuan continued: "But. I have a vague feeling that this cooperation with them is a good idea. There will be some uncertainties, so you'll want to keep an eye on the IRIS crew as well. ”

Lin Zhixiu asked, "Boss, what variables do you think there will be?" She was extremely convinced and had no doubt about Zhang Chengyuan's premonition.

Zhang Chengyuan nodded slowly, and sighed softly: "This variable should be Li Bingxian, before me, the crew of "IRIS" also invited him, although he refused, but I always feel that this person is very threatening to me this time, and may steal my role, so I have to guard against it!" ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, you seem to attach great importance to the TV series "IRIS"? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "This TV series is good, I have a hunch that the ratings may easily exceed 30% in the future, if it was before, I don't care, but now in addition to long-form TV series, there are fewer and fewer TV series that can break through 30%, and there are only a few per year, so in order to keep my 'ratings guarantee' signboard, I have to pay attention to it, especially when "The Painter of the Wind" is basically hopeless to break the 30% ratings." In addition, with my current status in the film and television industry, wouldn't it be a shame if someone pried away the role in my hands? ”

Lin Jixiu said: "Probably not, Lee Byung-hun has been active in the film industry all these years and has no interest in filming TV series, I don't think he will threaten you." ”

Jang Sung-won said: "If it was before, it would be natural, but now that the Korean film market is extremely sluggish, it is not guaranteed that he will return to the TV industry when there is no good movie to make, and the drama "IRIS" has considerable potential at a glance, and the funds are sufficient, enough to afford his high salary, so Lee Byung-hun is very likely to be tempted." Then there is a possibility that my role will be taken away by him. ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Then I will sign your starring contract with the crew of "IRIS" as soon as possible, and try to increase the liquidated damages." ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "Under normal circumstances, the starring contract is generally officially signed in the early stage of the upcoming filming, and there should be about half a year before the official start of filming, although my status is okay, but the crew of "IRIS" will not sign the contract with me so long in advance, otherwise, if there is some unexpected situation in the middle, resulting in the postponement or suspension of filming of the TV series, it will be a big loss for both parties, especially in the case of South Korea's economic regression." So, I'm afraid your solution won't work. However, don't worry too much about this, I'll take care of it, you just need to keep an eye out for me. ”

Although Jang Sung-won had previously asked Kim Kyu-tae and Liang Yun-ho to promise to notify him in advance before changing roles, Jang Sung-won did not trust these two very much, so he wanted Lin Ji-so to pay more attention to add a layer of insurance.

Lin Zhixiu said: "I know the truth, boss!" ”

After chatting about business, Zhang Chengyuan picked him up and walked to the bedroom, and at a glance, he knew that he wanted to talk to Lin Zhixiu again tonight, and Lin Zhixiu naturally would not be reluctant, but she suddenly remembered one thing and said: "Boss, Sister Zhiying called me just now, saying that she asked you to come to her tonight." ”

Zhang Chengyuan didn't stop and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"She didn't say it."

"Well, I know what to say, but there's no need to rush to go, wait until I satisfy you first, I haven't asked you for a while, you have to accompany me tonight."

Lin Zhixiu was silent, her face was full of redness, her eyes and eyebrows were full of spring, to be honest, she was also very eager for Zhang Chengyuan's impact. (To be continued......)
