Apgujeong 2-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where the headquarters of S.M is located, almost every day, more or less fans wander around the gate, hoping to accidentally yujian their favorite star.

On 14 February 2004, a slender young man stepped out of a taxi and, after a brief conversation with the security guard at the gate, entered the S.M building.

"Was that person an entertainer?" A girl standing near the doorway asked curiously to her companion.

"Probably not, right?" A little girl with a round face next to her pushed her glasses and said uncertainly, "I've never seen this person." ”

"But that person has a lot of temperament, and he looks so good!" Another little girl said excitedly with her hands in front of her chest.

"Cut! Where is Brother Yunhao with temperament! The girl who asked the question just now pursed her lips and said disdainfully.

"Brother is the most beautiful in the middle!"

……

The young man who entered the S.M company is Jin Shengyuan after retiring, he was not very famous two years ago, let alone him after two years of service, I am afraid that few people in the S.M company know that there is such an artist as him.

After Jin Shengyuan entered the building, he ignored the front desk and took the elevator directly to the third floor.

Everything here has hardly changed from two years ago, but Jin Shengyuan's mood at this moment is completely different, and his steady steps are not hurried on the floor, forming a resolute melody.

"Ahh When Jin Shengyuan was moving forward, the door of a practice room next to him suddenly opened, and a petite figure with his head down hurriedly walked out of it, hit Jin Shengyuan headfirst, and let out a short exclamation.

"I'm sorry, Senpai!" The petite figure in front of him didn't have time to look at Jin Shengyuan, and hurriedly bowed down.

"It's not ......" Jin Shengyuan smiled slightly, and was about to staggered over, when suddenly the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly, and said with a hint of surprise: "Xiaoxian, why are you here?" ”

"Huh?" The petite figure suddenly raised his head and looked at the seniors in front of him in surprise, and then a smile appeared from the corner of his mouth, and instantly spread to his entire face, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Shengyuan!" ”

Jin Shengyuan smiled and nodded, patted Xu Zhuxian's head habitually with his right hand, and said, "When did you become a trainee at S.M?" Does Auntie agree? ”

"Brother Shengyuan," Xu Zhuxian suddenly saw Brother Shengyuan, who he hadn't seen for two years, only to feel a wave of joy surging in his heart like a fountain, and he couldn't suppress it, and a trace of mist gradually appeared in the corner of his eyes.

"Yikes! Xu Zhuxian, why don't you hurry up, what are you doing? Kim Sung-won was about to appease Seo Joo-hyun when he suddenly heard a sharp voice shouting in the practice room.

Jin Shengyuan saw that after Xu Zhuxian heard this voice, his body trembled slightly, and he frowned suddenly, stretched out his hand to pull her body aside, and pushed open the door of the practice room.

In the practice room, a group of girls are sitting on the floor resting, even in the cold of February, there are still many people sweating profusely, suddenly saw a man push the door in, suddenly let out a low cry, have got up, tidy up the image.

"Hello, senior!" Although this group of trainees had never seen Jin Shengyuan, they did not dare to be negligent, and bowed down to greet one after another, and the practice room suddenly became silent.

Jin Shengyuan nodded slightly, his eyes swept over this group of teenage girls, and said: "The identity of the seniors is not used to bully the juniors, don't learn this kind of method in the future, only trainees who can't make their debut will use it to vent." Do you understand? ”

"Understood, senior!" Although Jin Shengyuan's tone was not high, this group of little girls was so frightened that they bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Xiaoxian, what did they ask you to do? I'll go with you. Jin Shengyuan whispered to Xu Zhuxian behind him.

"No need, senior, just now I asked Xu Zhuxian to go out and buy some drinks for everyone, since the senior has something to find her, I'll go myself." A tall, fair-skinned girl walked out of the crowd and said hurriedly.

Although she doesn't know Kim Sung-won, listening to his words, she seems to be a senior who has already debuted, and if she really lets him and Xu Zhuxian run errands, I'm afraid she won't have to think about making her debut again.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jin Shengyuan smiled slightly, but did not refuse.

"Excuse me." Jin Shengyuan nodded to everyone in the practice room, and then pulled Xu Zhuxian and walked out.

"When did you become a trainee?" Jin Shengyuan took Xu Zhuxian to the corner of the corridor and asked. …,

"I came in last September, Brother Shengyuan." Xu Zhuxian's eyes flashed with a sparkling light, and he looked up at Jin Shengyuan and said, "However, Brother Shengyuan, how can you ...... It's become like this? And your voice......"

"Hehe......," Jin Shengyuan smiled slightly, did not answer, gently rubbed Xu Zhuxian's hair, and asked, "Trainees are very tired, and they often encounter seniors who are not good-tempered, is it okay?" ”

"It's okay, and most of the seniors are very haode." Xu Zhuxian said, as if he had thought of something, his cheeks with a little baby fat suddenly bulged, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Jin Shengyuan.

"I still haven't been able to escape." Jin Shengyuan sighed slightly in his heart. Xu Zhuxian's serious and stubborn temperament was completely trained by him before, and I don't know if this is self-inflicted.

"I went to Dokdo for two years of service, and communication was very difficult." Jin Shengyuan thought about it for a while, and then briefly told the situation of his service.

"Ahh No wonder Brother Shengyuan, you haven't heard a word for two years," Xu Zhuxian clasped his hands tightly after hearing this, as if he wanted to share a little hard work for him, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Brother Shengyuan." ”

"It's okay, hehe......" Jin Shengyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, this excuse can only be believed by a simple Xu Zhuxian.

"Brother Shengyuan, are you ready to return to the stage?" Seo Joo-hyun asked again.

"He......h," Jin Shengyuan suddenly let out an inexplicable chuckle and said, "There is something wrong with my voice, I am preparing to quit S.M this time." ”

"Ahh Xu Zhuxian couldn't help but let out another exclamation. A large part of the reason why she entered S.M Company as a trainee was because of Jin Shengyuan, and it was because of Jin Shengyuan's existence that her parents agreed to her as a trainee.

The joy of seeing Jin Shengyuan again was suddenly diluted.

"It's okay, Xiaoxian, you don't have to worry about me, I'm ready to enter the variety show industry." Jin Shengyuan didn't wait for Xu Zhuxian to ask, and then spoke.

Xu Zhuxian didn't know how to behave for a while, and looked at Kim Sung-won in a daze.

"Xiaoxian, go practice, you must work hard! I still have something to do, and I'll see you again when I have time. Jin Shengyuan didn't want Xu Zhuxian to worry about himself, so he patted her head and said.

"Wait a minute, Brother Shengyuan." Xu Zhuxian said and turned around and ran back to the practice room, and it didn't take long for him to come over with a pen and a note.

"Brother Shengyuan, leave me your address and contact number, I will go to see you when I have time." Xu Zhuxian gasped slightly and said.

After Kim Sung-won wrote down his address and mobile phone number, he patted Xu Zhuxian's head again, and after watching her go back, he took a deep breath and walked towards the office in his memory.

"Han Shenghao - senior." Jin Shengyuan's eyes suddenly froze, and a familiar figure appeared in his sight, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he shouted.

In the corridor, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure and a suit heard Jin Shengyuan's voice, and suddenly turned around with a hint of suspicion.

Han Shenghao, the economic man before Jin Shengyuan's service, was also the one who persuaded Jin Shengyuan to serve.

"This tone ......" Han Shenghao swept Jin Shengyuan's body for a while, and then asked uncertainly, "Are you Shengyuan?" ”

The corners of Jin Shengyuan's mouth raised slightly, and he nodded.

"I didn't expect you to change so much, now I'm afraid it's more than 1.8 meters, right?" Han Shenghao smiled awkwardly and said a little hurriedly.

"Hehe, come to my office and talk about it." For some reason, Han Shenghao actually felt a kind of pressure from Jin Shengyuan's gaze, which made a layer of sweat appear on his forehead. This situation will only arise when he faces Director Lee so-man.

Jin Shengyuan nodded and did not speak.

"Since you went to serve, I have been transferred to the supervisor trainee, and I am so busy every day that I forgot when you retired, I'm really sorry." After Han Shenghao brought Kim Sung-won to the office, he made him a cup of coffee while explaining.

"It's okay." Kim Sung-won finally spoke again, "Now that I have completed my military service in Dokdo......"

"Yes! Be! I'll definitely mention you to the board of directors, so get ready and wait to get back on stage. When Han Shenghao heard the name "Dokdo", he secretly scolded the personnel who arranged for Jin Shengyuan to serve that day, but he said in a hurry.

"No!" Jin Shengyuan raised his index finger and shook it slightly, "Three conditions!" ”…,

"What? Three conditions! Han Shenghao's face suddenly changed greatly, and the whole person almost jumped up from the seat, and said intermittently: "This ...... This one...... Unlikely. ”

"Listen to me!" Jin Shengyuan's face sank, interrupted Han Shenghao's words and said, "I don't have time to listen to your explanation. First, the company returned my contract to me; Second, I want to be a regular guest on SBS's variety show X-MAN; Third, arrange for me to go to Seoul National University. ”

"Impossible!" As soon as Han Shenghao waited for Jin Shengyuan to finish speaking, he said hurriedly.

"I'm not negotiating with you, these three conditions must all be met, and none of them is indispensable." Jin Shengyuan knew Han Shenghao's temperament very well and didn't pay attention to his explanation at all.

Han Shenghao was taken aback by Jin Shengyuan's tone, his mind turned sharply, and after thinking for a while, he said with a calm face: "Shengyuan, the first condition is easy, the second condition is barely possible, and the third condition is impossible to complete. ”

"The third condition is that you only need to be a referrer, and I will pass their exam myself." Jin Shengyuan ignored Han Shenghao's face and said slowly, "I'm waiting for you here, you can go and help me now." ”

From the moment Han Shenghao saw Jin Shengyuan, he felt as if his brain had stopped working, and he was completely acting according to Jin Shengyuan's thinking.

"Strange, why has this kid changed so much?" Walking in the corridor to the fourth floor, Han Shenghao suddenly came to his senses, and was surprised in his heart, "In the past, this kid was like a puppet, why has he become so imposing now?" Does military service still have this effect? Thankfully, he didn't make any excessive demands. ”

Han Seung-ho shook his head and began to think about how to explain the matter to the directors.

About half an hour later, Han Shenghao finally returned to the office, and saw Jin Shengyuan sitting on the office chair without the slightest anxiety, and the coffee in the cup was drunk in half, and the original thought of wanting to take care of it suddenly dissipated.

"Okay, this is your contract, the matter of X-MAN's regular guest has also been settled, this is the phone in charge of the PD, you better talk to him on the phone before you go." Han Seung-ho explained in detail, "As for Seoul National University, you can go to report at any time in the last three days, but I advise you to be more prepared, Seoul National University's requirements have always been very strict, even if you are lucky enough to get in, you will be forced to drop out of school if you don't get good grades." ”

"Thank you, Brother Shenghao." Jin Shengyuan smiled after hearing this, and bowed slightly to Han Shenghao and said.

Actually, Han Shenghao, in addition to being too shili, has no other shortcomings, at least he will not innocently beat and scold artists.

The tension between the two of them before was just because Han Shenghao represented the S.M company, and when the conditions were reached at this moment, Jin Shengyuan naturally would not give him any more face, after all, the two had worked together for four years.

"Hey!" When Han Shenghao heard this familiar title, he couldn't help but think of the time they had worked together for four years, sighed lightly, patted Jin Shengyuan on the shoulder, and said, "I didn't know that the company would arrange for you to serve in Dokdo that day. But it's useless to talk about it now, you can do it yourself! ”

Han Shenghao said this, paused, and added: "If you have any difficulties, you can come to me." ”

After hearing this, Jin Shengyuan suddenly thought of Xu Zhuxian and said: "I have a younger sister named Xu Zhuxian, who is working as a trainee in the company, and I hope that Brother Shenghao can help me take care of it a little." Well, as long as she doesn't get bullied by her seniors. ”

"It's a little thing, no problem." Han Shenghao smiled and said pretending to be heroic, but there was a helplessness in his eyes, from the agent of the debut artist to the head of the room in charge of a small part of the trainees, it was also a big blow to him.

"Zaijian, Brother Shenghao." Jin Shengyuan didn't catch up with Han Shenghao anymore and got up to say goodbye. In the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two to intersect again.
