Chapter 24: The Gift
After filming his own scene in Jirisan Mountain, Jang Sung-won returned to Seoul and stayed in school honestly for a few days, and then under Park Byungyeol's arrangement, he successively entered some TV drama crews to play some small roles, more or less mixed some lines, while accumulating practical experience, he also went to acting schools to improve his theoretical knowledge. As for the homework in high school, he coped with it more than enough, listened carefully during the day, and occasionally took the time to recall that he could easily grasp the knowledge in the books, and he could get the first place in every exam, so the head teacher and the director of academic affairs trusted him and gave him the green light, and he still readily approved every time he asked for leave.
While Jang Sung-won is living an ordinary life, the singing life of his four sister Fin.k.l, who often keeps in touch with him on the phone, is becoming more and more colorful. First, at the end of November, he released a new album 2.5, and then went to China as a performing singer to participate in the first historic China-Korea Song Festival. At the beginning of December, he actually represented South Korean pop singers for the first time in a performance in Pyongyang, North Korea. After returning to Korea, they continued to promote their new songs, but within a week, they easily won the first place in SBS's popular songs, and then swept many important awards at major music ceremonies at the end of the year. In particular, the final grand prize of the Seoul Music Awards and the final grand prize of SBS TV's Song Battle are two of the highest honors in the Korean music scene.
This is also the most honorable honor that other girl groups in South Korea and even all singers dream of but are difficult to achieve. Even the two major groups of S.E.S and BabyV.O.X, which were comparable to Fin.k.l's momentum, could only be overshadowed after Fin.k.l won the award, becoming the foil of Fin.k.l.
Fin.k.l was able to achieve achievements in the second year of his debut that others may not be able to achieve in their lifetime, and as their closest brother, Jang Sung-won was naturally very happy and couldn't wait to rush to their side to congratulate them. But he knew that now they must be surrounded by countless people of all kinds, not to mention reporters and fans, and it is not appropriate to appear at this time, it is easy to expose their relationship, and then cause malicious speculation and slander from people who are red-eyed, and if they are not careful, it will seriously damage their careers. Therefore, Zhang Chengyuan could only hold back his excitement and refused Li Xiaoli's invitation, but just watched from a distance outside their celebration for a while, made a congratulatory phone call to each of the four people, and made an appointment to meet again after the New Year, and then left a little sadly.
There is a lot of trouble in being friends with artists, and what is even more troublesome is that artists are friends with artists of the opposite sex, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will have scandals, and as soon as the scandal comes out, many fans will begin to die or live, and they can't wait to shoot their friends of the opposite sex who are close to their idols, of course, killing people is just talking, and there are really few fans who dare to do it, but fans are attacking and swearing viciously on the Internet, which will also make people annoyed and depressed.
In order to avoid scandals with the four sisters of Fin.k.l, Zhang Chengyuan is careful every time he meets his sisters, and the number of times he meets in a year is only a handful. Fortunately, both parties are long-term lovers, and they are not afraid that the relationship between them will be affected if they don't see each other a few times, Zhang Chengyuan still loves the four sisters, and the four daughters of Fin.k.l still love Zhang Chengyuan.
One night in January 2000, Zhang Chengyuan took out four jade necklaces that he had prepared for a long time from his home, dressed up in disguise, and then took a taxi and ran towards Fin.k.l's dormitory. These four necklaces, if viewed from the eyes of the world, are not expensive items, but more like cheap goods in the flea market. Yes, these four necklaces were modified by Jang Sung-won from a bargain found in a flea market in Seoul's Dongdaemun district.
Although the value of these modified products themselves is not high, it cost Zhang Chengyuan a lot of effort and precious true qi. He first re-carved the jade into the shape of four animals: a fox, a black bear, a penguin, and a white swan, which of course were much cuter than the real ones, and only a little larger than a coin. Then he asked Park Byungyeol to send these four jade pendants to a professional institution to be calcined into the corresponding red, black, blue, and white colors, which are also the representative colors of Lee Hyori, Yuzhu Hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Youli.
The reason why he carved the shapes of these four animals is because he felt that these four animals had some similarities with the characteristics of each of the Fin.k.l people.
For example, foxes are an animal that is easily associated with fox spirits and nine-tailed foxes in both China and South Korea, representing a sexy and enchanting charm that can charm people's hearts, and Lee Hyori gives Jang Sung-won exactly that. Although this trait of Lee Hyo-ri has not yet been fully displayed, Jang Sung-won intuitively believes that Lee Hyo-ri will sooner or later become a generation of sexy divas who charm all beings.
The bear is a symbol of strength, and Ok Joo-hyun is not only the strongest and most powerful among the four, but also has great strength in singing, and is a representative woman of the powerful group in South Korea's music scene today.
The penguins are not only cute and kind, but also very clumsy when they swing, which is a portrayal of Li Zhen's kindness and dancing prowess known as "wooden sticks".
The white swan is pure and beautiful, and everyone loves it. Cheng Youli not only has the smoothest and most white skin, known as milk complexion, but also has a beautiful and beautiful appearance, which makes people like it at first sight. From the subtle point of view, Cheng Youli has a slender neck and large feet, which are also very similar to swans in these two points.
Therefore, Zhang Chengyuan feels that it is very appropriate to use these four animals as representatives of Fin.K.l, of course, this is just his personal opinion, and others may not agree. But he doesn't need to pay attention to other people's opinions.
After getting these four animal jade ornaments, Zhang Chengyuan sent them to the goldsmith shop and put them with four silver metal knots, but he was shy in his pocket and did not use precious metals. In order to make compensation, Zhang Chengyuan entered his true qi that he had cultivated for a long time into the four-color jade match, which was equivalent to the total amount of true qi he could cultivate after meditating for half a year. Through these true qi, Zhang Chengyuan can always sense the physical condition and even mood changes of the wearer, and then he can solve their problems as soon as possible. In addition, these jade necklaces also have a small function, that is, they can allow Zhang Chengyuan to roughly sense the direction of the wearer, and in the future, if Zhang Chengyuan wants to find the four sisters, it will be much more convenient.
It sounds very mysterious, but in fact it is just a small Taoist method of using true qi to sense the changes in the body's qi and blood. If it weren't for the great changes in heaven and earth, the scarcity of aura, and the fact that the spells were almost all invalid, Zhang Chengyuan would still want to give his sisters twenty or thirty talismans each to protect themselves.
When he arrived at Fin.k.l's dormitory, Jang Sung-won was warmly welcomed by Lee Hyo-ri's four daughters, and each of them gave him a warm hug, which made Jang Sung-won's heart warm. Although the four girls are now famous and popular, they are still very modest and cautious, not arrogant or impatient, for fear that Zhang Chengyuan will alienate them for various reasons, so he treats him more closely.
As soon as he sat on the sofa, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't wait to send the gifts he had carefully prepared, full of desire to be praised by the four sisters, but none of the sisters showed a happy look, but they all looked at Zhang Chengyuan with puzzled eyes.
