At around 12 p.m., Jang Sung-won returned to Seoul, then sent Lim Yoon-a back to S.M. Company, and then drove to his Cheongdam-dong Western restaurant, where he made an appointment with Lee Joon-gi to have a party.

When he arrived there, he found that Lee Joon-gi had already arrived one step ahead of him, and after seeing him, he smiled and joked: "Cheng Yuan, you said you were going to catch the wind for me, but you arrived later than me, is this you picking up the wind for me, or am I picking up the wind for you?" ”

Although he hadn't seen him for nearly two years, as soon as Lee Joon-gi saw Jang Sung-won, he felt that he didn't feel the slightest strangeness from Jang Sung-won, as if he had just met him yesterday.

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who picks up the wind for whom, as long as the two of us can get together again today." Joongi, it's been a long time, are you okay? ”

"Of course I'm fine, who doesn't feel relaxed after leaving the army, too good?" Lee Joon-gi replied with a smile. He didn't want to talk to Jang about what he had suffered in the army, because it was really not manly.

Zhang Chengyuan looked at him for a moment and said: "You seem to be really good, at least your appearance is still as handsome as two years ago, and you haven't aged at all, but this short hair is too awkward, I think you should continue to grow long hair in the future." "Short hair in the army is really not very good-looking.

"It's nature." Lee Joon-gi nodded, "How many of the artists have short hair?" What's more, my head shape is not suitable for short hair in the first place. Uh, don't talk about that, Cheng Yuan, you got married last year, I didn't go to the wedding scene to congratulate you, and when your son was born, I didn't visit. I'm so sorry! ”

"It doesn't matter. It's not a big deal. Besides, you are serving in the army, where can you come out casually? Okay, let's sit down for lunch and talk while we eat. After saying that, he pressed the electric bell switch on the wall next to him to inform the waiter to serve the food.

After a while, the dishes came up, and a table full of them were almost all of Lee Joon-gi's favorite dishes, and Jang Sung-won beckoned: "Hurry up and eat." I'm afraid you haven't eaten anything good in the army in the past two years, and now it's time to comfort your stomach. ”

Lee Joon-gi smiled: "It's true that I didn't eat anything delicious, and any piece of beef will feel very rare, well, you're welcome." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and ate it, and just took a few bites, he was stunned: "What kind of beef is this, why is it so delicious?" It's tender and delicious, but I haven't eaten beef for too long. Do you think it's particularly delicious? ”

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Zhang Chengyuan smiled, "It's just Matsusaka beef." Didn't you never eat when you went to Japan before? ”

"Well, it seems that it is indeed Matsusaka beef, the top beef in Japan, Cheng Yuan, thank you, for me, specially got this beef from Japan. But I probably haven't eaten beef in a long time, and it feels like it's much more delicious than I've ever tasted before. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "If you think it's delicious, eat more, I have prepared a lot for you this time, I'm not afraid that you won't be able to eat, if you still don't have enough fun after eating this meal, I'll let someone send you a few more boxes, and you can eat it yourself at home." But I have to make it clear that I'm not going to let people import Matsusaka beef from Japan because you like beef, in fact, every 10 days and half a month, my restaurant brings in a batch of Matsusaka beef, Kobe beef, or other varieties of Japanese Wagyu beef, because many of my sisters like to eat it now. ”

"No, it's not, I'm afraid I'm too grateful to you?"

Lee Joon-gi smiled and said, "Every ten days and half a month, you buy a batch of high-grade beef from Japan?" It seems that your life is getting more and more nourishing now. But yes, you are so rich now, you can't spend it as much as you want, and it would be a pity if you didn't improve and enjoy your life. By the way, my friends around me told me that your current personal wealth is only under the chairman of Samsung Lee Kun-hee, which can be compared to Chairman Chung Mong-koo of Hyundai-Kia Motors. ”

"It's just speculation from the outside world, who knows how much money Zheng Mengjiu has, maybe he still has many secret assets, not just the $6.6 billion estimated by the outside world. Besides, my personal assets are comparable to his, but the assets he directly or indirectly controls are ten, twenty, or even more than mine, how can I compare with him? ”

"Anyway, you're already a very big guy in South Korea now, well, I heard the news a few days ago that we just have a big company in South Korea with assets of more than $10 billion, 16 branches, JSW Group, and this JSW is not the abbreviation of your name? Could it be that this JSW Group is your property? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "It is indeed my industry, but I spent some money to greet various TV stations and newspapers, asking them not to mention my name when reporting on this matter, so most of the people do not know that I am the real boss of JSW Group." ”

"I'm afraid it can only be hidden for a while, and after a while, the people of the whole country will know."

"A little later, the people will be much less shocked to know about it slowly than they will suddenly know about it, and there will be much less controversy and controversy that may be caused."

Lee Joon-gi said: "I think you are too worried, is there anyone in the whole of South Korea who doesn't know that you are a top tycoon?" It's just possible to know how quickly your assets would grow. ”

"Maybe, but it's a little less troublesome." He's not a high-profile person, because high-profile usually means trouble as well.

Lee Joon-gi shook his head and said: "This person is really angry compared to people, when we first met, I could barely compare with you, but now you and I are simply the same as heaven and earth, and there is no comparison in any aspect." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "Zhun Ji, you are too arrogant, I just have a little more money than you, a little more popularity than you, and I have made a few more movies abroad than you." ”

"Are you being modest, or are you showing it off to me?" Lee Joon-gi said angrily.

"No kidding, Joon-gi, what's your next plan, when are you going to make a comeback?" Zhang Chengyuan asked.

Lee Joon-gi said: "I don't have many plans for the time being, but I just want to hold a few fan meetings in Seoul, China, Japan and other places to repay the fans' love and announce his return, and I am currently negotiating a brokerage contract with IMX." ”

"IMX Corporation? It seems to be a Japanese company. Represented many K-pop stars in Japan. Are you planning to expand into Japan? ”

Lee Joon-gi nodded and said, "It's indeed this plan." IMX first released an album in Japan. It is said that popular Korean actors have always been popular when they release albums in Japan. ”

"That's right, last year, Jang Keun Suk that kid released an album in Japan, which was very popular, and also won the weekly championship of the Japanese ORICON Public Trust Chart, and later released a single and won another ORICON championship. I think you've just retired, but your popularity in Asia hasn't dropped much, and if you release an album in Japan. It shouldn't be worse than him. ”

Lee Joon-gi shook his head and said, "It's a young man's world now, and I'm not as good as him." That is, you guy, it seems that the older you get, the more popular and popular you are. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said disappreciatively: "Are the two of us old?" It seems to be just thirty, how can you be popular in the entertainment industry for a few more years. ”

Lee Joon-gi said: "If you only talk about you, then I am afraid that it will be no problem for a few more years, ten or twenty years, as for me, I will be satisfied if I can be popular for another 5 years." ”

"Why are you so arrogant? Haven't you heard that men are forty-one flowers, like Zhang Dongjian's predecessors and Li Bingxian, who are already in their early forties. But their careers are still thriving, and you're two months away from turning 30. So it's still very early for your career to really decline! Well, don't talk about that, Jungi, you seem to have a fan meeting in the afternoon, right? ”

"Yes, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiangming University in Lu District, what, you want to be a guest to cheer for me?"

"If you'll invite me, I'd be happy to go." Although he still has scenes to shoot in the afternoon, if Lee Joon-gi needs him, it doesn't hurt for him to take an extra half-day off.

"Don't!" Lee Joon-gi waved his hand and joked, "I won't invite you to go, if you arrive at the scene, I'm afraid that more than 80% of the fans will be attracted by you, so is it necessary for me to hold this fan meeting?" In fact, he knew that Zhang Chengyuan was currently filming and was busy, so he didn't want to delay his time.

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "Why are you still polite to me, but forget it, after all, there was no rehearsal in advance, and I don't know what to say when I go there, if I accidentally say the wrong thing and ruin the atmosphere of the scene, it will be bad." In the future, if you hold a fan meeting or birthday party in Seoul, if you need it, you can come to me at any time, as long as I am in Seoul, I will definitely participate. ”

"I remember." Lee Joon-gi said, "Oh, I almost forgot to ask you something, Sung Won, I couldn't appear in the SBS TV series "Divine Doctor" because I enlisted in the army in a hurry, so I had a dispute with SBS TV, you helped me solve it, right?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "If I say no, you will definitely not believe it, uh, I admit that I let people solve this matter, I naturally can't ignore your business, and I still have some status in the entertainment industry, and I happen to be one of the shareholders of SBS TV, this kind of thing is just a gesture for me." But you don't have to thank me, that's what I should do as a brother. ”

"I wanted to thank you, but when I heard your hypocritical words, I suddenly didn't want to thank you." Lee Joon-gi pretended to be disdainful, paused, and said: "In addition, I also heard that you invested in the movie "Grand Prix" that I asked you to star in at that time, and lost a lot of money? ”

"Originally, I lost billions of won, but after the film was released in China, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries, and after the DVD was released, I made up for it, and even made a small profit, and in addition, it raised the popularity of me and Sister Taehee, so you don't need to be sorry." Jang Sung-won knew that Lee Joon-gi was sorry, so he spoke out to persuade him.

"It turns out that you still earned, so I really don't need to apologize. But you also said it earlier, and I'm ashamed for more than a year. Lee Joon-gi said with a smile.

"How did I know you would be ashamed of such a trifle? I just really lost a little money, so what's the point for me, are you still afraid that I will blame you? But it's good that you're ashamed, at least then you'll miss me even more. ”

"Are you saying this? How could I have a friend like you? (To be continued......)
