Chapter IX: Impact
When he returned to the hotel room at night, Lee Jae-min took out his mobile phone and found that he didn't know when he had pressed it to mute, there were multiple missed call prompts, and he looked at the names that were all "Xiao Dese", and he hurriedly dialed it, afraid that something would happen to Yuna in Seoul.
"Oppa, where are you? Why not at home? The phone has not been answered...... "As soon as the call was connected, Yun'er came with a little complaining voice, she kept calling him today, and Zuihou also sneaked out of the company and ran to his house.
"Yun'a, are you alright? Did something happen? ”
Hearing Lee Jae-min's anxious inquiry, Yuna's little complaint disappeared without a trace, she was quiet and then whispered into her phone, "I'm fine, your phone suddenly can't get through......"
"Hey Yigu" Hearing Yun'er say that it was okay, he leaned over and lay down on the sofa with a loud scream. Today has been busy all day, and finally the overall situation is settled, and his tense nerves are now relieved, "I'm out of town, and my phone was turned to silent by mistake, and I just saw you have a call." ”
"Out-of-town? Where? Alone? ”
"There's something to do across the state. Of course it's a person, what does the little girl think? Lee Jae-min replied with some amusement, "Have something to find me?" ”
"Who knows if it's not, oppa is not young either......" Yun'er's muttering voice suddenly turned, and she said with some excitement, "oppa, you participated in the infinite challenge recording, that song "White Snow" is so good, was it really created on the spot?" ”
"It was the other day. I just happened to be selected by the PD of the show. Lee Jae-min only then learned the reason for Yoona's call, and teased her, "Haha...... yes, oppa is amazing. ”
"Hmph, it's normal, hehe......" Yun'a, who knows Lee Jae-min, knows that he rarely speaks like this, only when he is close to him, and when he is in a very good mood, he will use this kind of tone, Yun'a is also infected by his emotions, and feels a joy from the bottom of her heart, she bites the tip of her tongue and pouts her mouth to maintain a flat tone, but she can't help but laugh when she opens her mouth, "The song is so good." Is OPPA going to be a singer? ”
"It's an unexpected situation, and I haven't thought about it yet."
"Aren't things going well across the state?" Yuna could hear from her voice that Lee Jae-min was a little tired, "When are you coming back?" ”
"It went well, but I was a little tired today. There are still some business to be taken care of, and I should be back in three or four days. ”
"Well, I'm hanging up the phone, you rest early, and pay more attention to your body outside. Also, call me when you come back. Amid Yoona's mischievous laughter, Lee Jae-min hung up the phone.
In the next few days, recruit and contact various manufacturers to draft contracts for the entry of goods......
These made Lee Jae-min tired, but fortunately, he had been with his adoptive father since he was a child, and he had a lot of contact with economic things, and he was not a stranger to business, although he was a little hectic, but there were no big mistakes.
Choi Hae-jong, the head of the supermarket recruited by Lee Jaemin, a native of Jeonju, Chinese New Year's Eve, graduated from Seoul National University, has economic acumen, and is the head of investment promotion of the former Dongluo Plaza, because of the bankruptcy of the developer, he also lost his job.
After learning about Lee Jaemin's entire operation and jihua, in addition to admiration and envy, if he could be more than ten years younger, he would have such an idea, but now he has a family, and two daughters to raise, and his current life makes him satisfied as long as he receives a good salary smoothly every month.
Cui Haizhong, in the words of his adoptive father, is more than enough to keep his job and not enough to develop.
At this stage, Lee Jaemin needs a stable person like him, and because he is the former head of investment promotion in Dongluo Plaza, he is familiar with various manufacturers, etc., and can quickly get started and enter the work state of the person in charge......
Hopping on the express bus back to Seoul, Lee Jae-min fell asleep in his seat, too tired these days.
In the evening, when he finally returned to his home in Seoul, Lee Jae-min remembered that his mobile phone had been turned off all along.
Lee Jae-min has a lot of ideas for the future supermarket planning, but if it is to be implemented, there will be various unexpected situations, after all, he has just entered the industry, and at this time, Cui Hae-jong's stability and years of accumulated experience just make up for this.
In this week in the state, in addition to being busy every day, as long as he has time, he and Cui Haizhong discuss one plan after another, one idea after another, it seems that his mobile phone number is known by some media, and there are constantly calls coming in to ask for interviews, and he decisively turns off his mobile phone after notifying his friends by text message.
Whether this supermarket can operate well now is extremely important to him, more important than making "The First Man" the title song of Shin's new album.
Sitting on the sofa at home, as soon as Lee Jaemin turned on his mobile phone, the text message prompt sound kept ringing, and the text message capacity was full in an instant. Delete, fill up again, delete again......
Basically, the media asked for information such as interviewing him, and there were also text messages from Yoo Jae-seok and Yuna, and Shin Comet's agent also sent a few text messages.
sent a text message back to Yoo Jae-seok, and Lee Jae-min called Yoon's phone again, "Yoon-a, I'm back." ”
The noise sounded, and after waiting for a while, a soft voice came from Yun'er's side, "Oppa, didn't you say that you will come back in three or four days, it's been 7 days." ”
"Hmm. Because there was something in Jeonju, there were too many disturbances, so I turned off my mobile phone, didn't I send a text message to tell you......" Lee Jaemin deliberately shouted loudly, "Ah~ Dese, I will call you as soon as I turn on my phone when I come back, don't you still pay attention to your sister." ”
Yuna giggled in amusement, then snorted softly and continued to whisper, "Oppa, I'm training, and I sneaked out to answer the phone." Hang up first, and I'll go to you the next afternoon. ”
"Okay." Lee Jae-min hung up the phone and saw that the time was already more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and as her debut was approaching, Yuna and her training had increased a lot, and it seemed that they had to prepare more delicious food for her to make up.
If the controversy after the Infinite Challenge trailer last week was just a hype storm, then this issue of Infinite Challenge in which Lee Jae-min participated was broadcast, it could be regarded as a hype storm.
Young, handsome, 23-year-old composer, graduated from the Manhattan School of Music, and is now a graduate student at Dongguk University, even studying for a double master's degree. The hosts, who have a sense of artistry and can keep up with the infinite challenges, can tease Yoo Jae-seok and Park Myung-so to make jokes in a measured manner......
The above list alone makes it difficult for everyone not to pay attention to this young man.
But......
This issue of Infinite Challenge Zuihou, the host Ha Dong Hoon temporarily proposed (Ha Dong Hoon has already stated on his Twitter, it is indeed a temporary opinion.) ), and asked the young man to compose a song about snow on the spot.
In the fluttering snow, beautiful music, beautiful singing, and beautiful camera sense, people are still immersed in it after the show.
"'White Snow' is the best new song I've heard this year. In the music industry, dance music is becoming more and more popular, and it is not easy to have such a good lyrical song, and it is a newcomer's work, and I insist on working hard......"
"I'm so handsome in Minoppa, my eyes are so melancholy, what should I do, I like him......"
"Upstairs nymphomaniac, go die, OPPA belongs to me."
"New composer? New singers? Let's make my debut as soon as possible, and look forward to the live ...... of this song."
"I was heartbroken when I saw my eyes playing the piano in Minoppa, is it a broken love?"
Infinite challenges on the website wallboard, the data is constantly refreshed every minute. The program team deliberately cut out the entire playing video, uploaded it to the website separately, and then downloaded and uploaded it to YouTube by netizens, and by 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, in just over ten hours, the number of on-demand views exceeded 500,000.
The topics caused by age, talent, and education have made many artists stunned, and they have worked hard for many years, but no one has had a big impact overnight, and they have put on vests, either to abuse and slander, or to question the authenticity......
For a time, there were praises, slanders, and disputes on the Internet. Many people wake up in the morning to find that many newspapers have a name mentioned in the entertainment pages -- Lee Jae-min.
The morning sun shone in through the windows on the second floor, Lee Jae-min was still asleep, and there was a temporary situation in the supermarket last night, and he and Choi Hae-jong discussed until late at night before resting.
At this moment, a deafening ringing sound came from the bedside table. In order to get a good night's sleep, before he turned off his mobile phone before going to bed, he set the mobile phone to turn on at 9 o'clock in the morning, and now at 9:05, a call came a few minutes after it was automatically turned on.
"Jaemin?" A man's voice came.
"I am." Li Zaimin picked up the phone and put it next to his ear in a trance, reacted after a while, sat up and raised his voice and said, "Ah, Brother Shi, hello." ”
"Just got up? haha。 Liu Zaishi let out a hearty laugh, "Zaimin, you are famous now, now the Internet is full of topics about you, and today's infinite challenge website is about to become your own message board." ”
"yes, I came back from Jeonju very late yesterday, and I haven't been online, so I don't know about this." Lee Jae-min had a plan last night to pay attention to the reaction to this episode of the Infinite Challenge, but after talking to Choi Hae-jong on the phone, it was already late at night, and he fell asleep directly.
"You ......" Liu Zaishi smiled dumbly, and then said, "Comet Shen's agent called just now and said that he agreed to your conditions and wanted to talk to you about the song, but he couldn't get through to you, so he called me." Do you have time in the afternoon? ”
"The trouble is Brother Shi. I have time in the morning. Lee Jae-min replied.
"Three o'clock, there is enough time for you to freshen up and eat, and by the way, find out your current popularity on the Internet. haha…… At three o'clock in the afternoon, they and I will wait for you at the Changdao Cafe in Cheongdam-dong, and I will send you the detailed address later. ”
"Haode, in Brother Shi, I'll leave later." After Lee Jae-min finished speaking, he walked towards the study.
Before going out, he watched the news and videos on the Internet, although he expected it after the trailer, but he didn't expect it to be hyped like this.
"Ah, Lee Jae-min! Hello. Real people look more handsome......"
"In Minoppa, Fighting!"
……
On the road and in the subway, people kept recognizing Lee Jae-min and calling him by name, which made him really feel the infinite challenges and the impact of "White Snow".
At 2:50, Lee Jae-min came to the Changdao Cafe in Cheongdam-dong and followed the waiter to lead a private room. When I opened the door, I saw that Liu Zaishi and Shen Comet were sitting at the table chatting with each other, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to him, who was Shen Comet's agent.
"In Brother Shi, Shen Comet senior." After Lee Jaemin entered the box, he bowed down to them and said. Shin Comet was born in 79 and is one of the 6 members of the boy group Shinhwa and serves as the lead singer in the group.
