The sky was cloudy and the cool breeze swept away the sweltering heat of the summer afternoon.

Lee Jae-min climbed up the long staircase, and just halfway through the road leading to Namsan Pavilion, his mobile phone rang. Perhaps because of the change of weather, the already scarce tourists began to descend the mountain one after another, and he couldn't help but pull the brim of his hat down, and then walked to the edge of the steps to answer the phone.

"In Minoppa, there may be rain in the afternoon, do you bring an umbrella?"

Park Shin-jeong's voice came from the earpiece, and Lee Jae-min was speechless, so he wouldn't call because of this! He asked funny, "Leaving the company, didn't you ask the front desk to send me an umbrella?!" ”

"Yes." Park Shenjing smiled, "I forgot about it." It's good to bring an umbrella, and be careful not to be recognized in the park, if you recognize you, call me immediately, and be even more careful with Zhaoxi, now the scandal between the two of you is even worse......"

Lee Jae-min looked up at the gloomy sky, "Okay, I know. At this time, there are the least people in the park, and with such weather, it is estimated that when I climb to the Nanshan Pavilion, there will be few people on it. Do you have something else to do? ”

"Yes, the company's business."

"The company's affairs were not dealt with just now." Lee Jae-min returned to Seoul from Gyeongju, had lunch at a roadside restaurant, and hurried to LF Company to deal with all the affairs, and the time came to Ahn So-hee's appointment.

"Mr. Rhodes, President of YUAN, just called."

Lee Jae-min stopped and looked at the tourists who passed by from time to time, and he walked out of the steps and came to the open space on the side. If there's anything else that makes him have business scruples right now, the names "YUAN" and "Rhodes" are definitely at the top of the list.

Rhodes said that his affairs in South Korea were basically completed and that he had returned to the United States after his trip. Yuan will then appoint a vice president to South Korea to take full charge of the LTF Super Life Plaza in Seoul. Park Shenjing tried not to retell the content of the previous phone call with emotion. In order to avoid affecting Lee Jae-min's judgment, "Also, the news report a few days ago that Hyundai Construction Company, the second-largest builder, sold a commercial real estate in Cheongdam-dong to a foreign-funded company for 180 billion won. Finally, it was found out that the foreign-funded enterprise mentioned was YUAN, and according to the real estate development plan announced to the public, it is claimed to be the largest shopping and living super large international shopping center in Seoul. ”

"When will that vice president arrive?" The time to come will always come, this even the real estate has been chosen! Lee Jae-min was confused and helpless, and YUAN chose the right time and the right place. It didn't take long for the collective company to be formed. As soon as everything was rolled out, just when there was a lack of liquidity everywhere, Yuan moved again, that is, there was no pressure too tight, and there was no gap for him to get out. It's hard to even say no. Now there is only one step, one step. When I met the so-called vice president who was in charge of the affairs of the LTF Super Life Plaza in Seoul. Zaijian's move to dismantle is really not good, so I can only give up the big cake of Seoul.

"Ruder Finn didn't give a specific date, but said that it would be very soon, and that the vice president would contact us as soon as he arrived in South Korea." Park Shenjing paused, and then hesitantly suggested. "Otherwise, we at LTF will simply give up the Seoul market. YUAN's purpose is so inscrutable that it always feels weird, like it's been digging a hole from the beginning. Then it leads us to jump down step by step. ”

"Although the company is not now before the financial crisis, the industry is no longer a single type, and it is not afraid to discard this piece. But Seoul has always been the biggest target for LTF's development in the country, and if it is abandoned, it is likely that it will never be able to squeeze in again. It's better to meet with the vice president of YUAN first, and wait for them to come up with specific terms of cooperation. ”

Lee Jae-min hung up the phone and looked at the time on his phone, it was almost four o'clock, and he returned to the stairs. At this time, there were very few tourists coming down the mountain, and he quickened his pace and climbed towards the Nanshan Pavilion.

Far away, Lee Jae-min saw a small figure sitting on the corner steps of Nanshan Pavilion with his head bowed, and although he dressed up, he immediately recognized her as Ahn Zhaoxi. He walked two steps quickly, and when he reached the steps, he saw that there were no tourists nearby, and said in a slightly higher voice, "I'm sorry, I'm late, I just picked up a phone call on the road and was delayed." ”

An Zhaoxi, who was distracted, seemed to be frightened, trembled and shook, raised his head and saw that it was Lee Jaemin, and hurriedly got up after a trance, "Oppa, hello!" It doesn't matter, I just arrived not long ago. ”

"Huh?" Lee Jae-min shook his shirt on his back, talked on the phone with Park Shin-jeong for a long time, and almost ran up in order to hurry, and his back was a little sweaty. He was about to walk into the octagonal pavilion and sit down, listening to An Zhaoxi's surprisingly polite tone, he was stunned, then turned around and looked around carefully, and said funny, "Why are you so polite all of a sudden!" Could it be that Xuanmei has some kind of ghost idea to trick me? ”

An Zhaoxi laughed out loud, and the nervous mood that had been very nervous since she stepped into Nanshan Park slowly eased, she handed over a bottle of mineral water that had just been unscrewed in her hand, bent her eyes and said, "Xuan Xuanmei knows that you say this about her, and she will definitely give you one more note." Once I slipped into her room, saw that she was jotting something in a notebook, and secretly glanced at it, and there were many, many accusations written in it, and it seemed that I was going to find you slowly after that. ”

"Ahem~" Lee Jaemin was choked, waved his hand, signaled An Zhaoxi not to pat himself on the back, and sat on the bench by the pavilion with her. ”

"OPPA has changed a lot." Ahn So-hee looked at Lee Jae-min, his curved eyes became shining, and he remembered the scene when he first met him more than a year ago. At that time, in "X-MAN", he came on stage in a whim, and only then did he have "Zhaoxi oppa Confession Song", and it was also from that time that the show was broadcast that the long scandal journey of the two began.

At first, I thought that Ahn Zhaoxi was influenced by WonderGirls' development in the United States, but now looking at her expression, it seems that she doesn't know the news, and Lee Jae-min breathes a sigh of relief. Even so, he saw that An Zhaoxi's mood didn't seem to be high, and said with a smile, "You have also changed a lot, you used to be very well-behaved, and now you are more and more naughty with Xuanmei." ”

The struggle between Lee Jae-min and Seon-mi is not only in private, but also in the show, otherwise how could the audience call them "problem brothers and sisters". Ahn Zhaoxi bent his eyes and chuckled, "Every time I finish filming "The Birth of a Family", as soon as Xuan Xuanmei comes back, she will announce to us again that you are the public enemy of WonderGirls. ”

"I thought I had always been in her eyes!" Lee Jaemin laughed, seeing that An Zhaoxi's mood was gradually improving, he felt that she might just be in a bad mood this time to come out to breathe, and her heart was completely put down. Then I asked about the current development of WonderGirls, as well as the fact that she is announcing the itinerary now.

After chatting for a while, Lee Jaemin felt his mouth dry and stopped talking, raised his head and drank a few sips of water, and suddenly found that his surroundings were quiet, and turned his face, An Zhaoxi reversed the activity that had just been aroused, and sat on the bench with his head down, his hands seemed to be nervously rolling the water bottle in his small hand. Seeing this, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." An Zhaoxi quickly raised her head and replied, lowered her head again after speaking, and put the squeaky water bottle in her hand on the bench between the two, she looked at the growing wind outside, and asked softly after a long time, "Oppa, have you watched the news in the morning?" ”

"You mean the scandal?!" Lee Jae-min showed a relieved expression, reached out and patted the top of the hat on her head, and then said with relief, "Brother Zhenying and Brother Youmin will deal with haode." Now that you're fully promoting "No.body", they may use this scandal to stir up another stir, and you don't have to pay attention to it, and the company will be fine when it comes out and clarifies later. ”

"I know." An Zhaoxi responded in a low voice, pulled down the brim of her hat to cover her eyes, and after a while, she chuckled, "The first time we met when we went to participate in the "X-MAN" recording last year, it was after that show that scandal began to spread. ”

After Ahn Zhaoxi mentioned it, Lee Jae-min also remembered the situation of the video, and involuntarily smiled on his face.

"One year and three months, the scandal has not stopped, and there are many of our mutual fans on the Internet, promoting 'Lee. Ann's Love'. This time, it seems that because of the English song you sang, the trouble is even more fierce! Ahn Zhaoxi raised her eyes to look at Lee Jae-min, Zuihou turned her gaze to the water bottle placed in the middle, with a smile in her tone, she said in a mischievous tone like Xuexuanmei, "Oppa, in their eyes, we are very much like a couple!" Hehe~ If we really become a couple, do you think it will scare everyone? ”

"Definitely, first of all, I will scare you out of this fake Xuanmei!" Lee Jae-min slapped Ahn Zhao-hee on the top of his head funny, and the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang with a text message ringtone, and he took it out to see that it was sent by Park Shin-jeong, asking him to go to the Nine Trees Hotel together when he has time now. The Nine Trees Hotel in Seoul is the first to be planned and has already started construction.

"I miss the last time I came here with oppa, and suddenly I wanted to come over and have a fun, so I called you, but unfortunately the weather is bad and I want it to rain." Ahn Zhaoxi raised his head, poked his head out to look at the sky outside, and then bent his eyes and said to Lee Jae-min with a smile, "Is there something wrong?" The assistant was at the bottom of the hill and I immediately called her to pick me up. If you have something to do, you can go first, hehe, we will be better off going separately now. ”

"Okay, then I'll go down first, you be careful here, don't be discovered by fans." Hearing Ahn Zhao-hee say this, Lee Jae-min nodded and got up, first, he really wanted to go to the Nine Trees Hotel to see the "over-demanding" construction situation; Second, as An Zhaoxi Zuihou said, the scandal between him and An Zhaoxi broke out again, and it would be better to go down the mountain separately from An Zhaoxi at this time, so as to prevent the identity from being exposed and making the scandal ferment more ferocious.

Waving goodbye to Ahn So-hee, Lee Jae-min headed down the mountain. The wind gradually stopped, scattered raindrops fell from the sky, he raised his head, the icy water droplets slapped on his forehead and cheeks, the coolness soaked into his mind, and his thoughts were instantly clear.

He stopped hesitantly, remembering An Zhaoxi's phone call last night, as well as her demeanor and tone just now, and Zuihou's joking "suggestion", which was quickly connected like a grid of film.

Lee Jae-min turned around, faced the drizzling rain, and ran towards the Nanshan Pavilion. (To be continued......)
