Chapter 3: The Genius of Language
"The King of Korean Entertainment"
"Xiaoxian, that woman bullied you again?" In the corner of the corridor on the third floor of S.M Company, a slender girl took Xu Zhuxian's hand and asked.
"No, Sister Yuna." Xu Zhuxian's eyes shone brightly, and he said to the girl in front of him, "I saw Brother Shengyuan today!" β
"Brother Shengyuan?" Yun'er was slightly stunned, then couldn't help but open her mouth wide and asked, "Is that the Shengyuan brother who raised you?" β
"Sister Yun'er, I've only known Brother Shengyuan since I was a child." Seo Joo-hyun didn't seem to understand Yun'a's joke at all, and explained seriously.
"Xiaoxian, you look exactly like that guy," Yuna stroked her forehead with her hand, as if remembering something.
"Sister Yun'er, Brother Shengyuan is a senior, you can't say that about him." Xu Zhuxian said with a slight puff out.
Yuna has been beaten to the point that she is completely speechless, and Xiaoxian still defends that guy everywhere as before.
"Brother Shengyuan has just come back from retirement, I will ask for leave to go to him tomorrow, do you want to go with me?" Seo Joo-hyun thought about it and asked Yuna.
"Ugh!" After Yun'er heard this, her face suddenly turned bitter, and she said to Xu Zhuxian: "Xiaoxian, you can go by yourself." If I'm with you two, I'm going to be driven crazy. β
"Sister Yun'er, how can you say that, we ......" Xu Zhuxian's eyes flashed with innocence, and he stared at Yun'er tightly.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxian. I have a heavy practice task tomorrow, so I won't go with you. Yun'er hurriedly said, she was clear about Xu Zhuxian's temper, and it was a headache.
"Oh, I'll go myself, then." Xu Zhuxian was only slightly disappointed, but even cheered up, nodded and said, "Sister Yun'er, come on!" β
Yuna finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few words of encouragement to Seo Joo-hyun, she left in a hurry like a frightened deer.
β¦β¦
"Hey, I'm tired!" In the practice room, Yuna was almost half-lying on the floor, panting and saying, "Sister Yuli's dancing is amazing!" β
Beside Yun'er, a dark-skinned girl handed her a bottle of mineral water and asked, "How is Xiaoxian?" Have you ever been bullied again? β
"Huh?" Yun'er froze slightly, scratched her head, and said, "There shouldn't beβXiaoxian said no." However, she saw Brother Shengyuan today, and she will ask for leave to see him tomorrow. β
"Brother Shengyuan? Is that the guy you call turning Xiaoxian into a nerd? After hearing this, Yuli asked with a surprised expression.
"Shhh, Sister Yuli, don't hurt me, Brother Shengyuan is a senior!" After hearing this, Yun'a sat up and said to Yu Li in a hurry.
"Got it." Yori smiled slightly and said to Yun'a, "But why don't you go with Xiaoxian, don't you know him too?" β
"I'm not going," Yun'er said, her mouth curled, "I'm going to be driven crazy with the two of them." β
"Haha......" Yu Li thought of Xiao Xian's character, and couldn't help but think of a conversation between the two of them sitting on their lapses, as if they were teaching.
"But isn't it okay for Xiaoxian to go by himself?" Yu Li smiled, suddenly thought of something, and said to Yun'a in a low voice, "I heard that I haven't seen a woman for two years during the service......"
"Cut, Sister Yuli, don't try to trick me into suffering!" Yun'er was unmoved, pouted and said, "Xiaoxian was almost raised by Brother Shengyuan, and the relationship between the two is almost equivalent to half a father and daughter!" Even if you haven't seen each other for two years, do you think this relationship may fade? And the character of that guy, cut ......"
Seeing that her careful thinking had no effect, Yu Li's eyes rolled slightly, and said, "I'm joking." However, Xiaoxian is only thirteen years old after all, how can we let her run out alone? Let's go with Xiaoxian. β
"Don't!" Yuna looked at Yoo-ri, and although she didn't find any clues, she still shook her head and refused.
"It seems that Yuna really doesn't like to get along with that guy," Yuli was not discouraged, but the sly light in her eyes was even stronger.
β¦β¦
Founded in 1946 and located in Seoul, South Korea, Seoul National University is one of Korea's most prestigious institutions of higher education.
If an ordinary artist wants to enter Seoul National University, it is impossible at all, so Kim Sung-won will ask S.M Company for a recommendation. Even so, Kim Sung-won only got a chance, and if he couldn't pass the interview at Seoul National University, everything would be useless. β¦,
After Kim Sung-won left S.M, he came to Seoul National University to report that afternoon.
Led by a Seoul National University student, Kim Sung-won easily found the office where the dean of academic affairs was.
Tuk Tuk ......
"Please come in!" A slightly majestic voice came from the office.
"Hello! I'm Kim Sung-won. Jin Shengyuan gently pushed the door in, and saw a man about fifty years old sitting behind a desk with meticulously combed hair and sitting upright, and immediately bowed at ninety degrees and said.
"Hello, I'm Kim Chang-ki, Dean of Academic Affairs at Seoul National University." The man slowly stood up from behind his desk, his eyes scrutinizing the young man in front of him, who had made a simple bow like a tight bowstring.
"You may be seated." Kim Chang-gi nodded slightly, motioning for Kim Sung-won to sit on the sofa beside him.
βxiexieγβ Jin Shengyuan was a little restrained.
"You're an artist at S.M?" Kim Chang-gi took out a document.
"Yes. However, the debut results were not ideal, and after completing the military service this time, I wanted to work hard to learn some knowledge and enrich myself. Jin Shengyuan said the words that he had already thought of haode.
"How old are you?" Kim Chang-gi was slightly stunned and looked up and asked. He was under the impression that very few entertainers did military service before the age of thirty.
"Twenty-two this year." Jin Shengyuan smiled slightly and said.
"Hmm." Kim Chang-gi nodded slowly, his impression of Kim Sung-won was a little better, but the expectations of him in his heart dropped a little: the artist didn't have much time to study, and he had just participated in the military for two years.
"Based on your situation, I suggest that you can apply for Kyungpook National University," Kim Chang-gi did have a good impression of Kim Sung-won, thought about it, and said to him.
"Thank you, Director," Jin Shengyuan understood Jin Changji's intentions with a slight suffocation, smiled slightly, and said, "But I am still very confident in my strength." β
After a pause, Jin Shengyuan added with a hint of pride: "I know seven foreign languages, including English, Chinese, and Japanese, which are good at listening, speaking, reading and writing, and Russian, French, German, and Spanish can do simple communication, but I am also studying well." β
Kim Chang-ki's hands shook slightly, and he couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe them gently - those who know Kim Chang-gi well know that he only does this when he is very excited.
"Is this the legendary linguistic genius?" Even as the dean of academic affairs at Seoul National University for more than 10 years, Kim Chang-gi has never met a person who is proficient in seven foreign languages but is only 22 years old!
Chinese alone has stumped countless Korean elites, not to mention English, Chinese, and Japanese, which are good at listening, speaking, reading and writing!
"Excellent! You wait! After Kim Chang-gi put on his glasses, he stared at Jin Shengyuan for a moment, and when he saw a trace of confident pride on his face, he slowly spoke.
After Kim Chang-gi finished speaking, he began to call frequently.
A few minutes later, five teachers came to the office one after another.
"Genius! Absolute linguistic genius! After some testing, the five teachers, including Kim Chang-gi, were all stunned, and the teacher who specialized in Chinese was even more exaggerated and raised his hands and yelled at Kim Sung-won with a gleam in his eyes.
Kim Chang-gi endured and endured it, so that he didn't lose his temper in front of Jin Shengyuan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good!" As of today, you will be a student at Seoul National University, so I will arrange for someone to help you with the admission process. β
"I'll go!" The excited Chinese teacher succinctly answered and hurried out.
"Teacher Jin, I'm still an artist, and I may not have been in school for too long, I hope you can approve it." Seeing this, Kim Sung-won hurriedly made his own request to Kim Chang-gi.
After hearing this, Kim Chang-gi immediately frowned, but it was not because of the problem of time: "What kind of artist are you?!" With your qualifications, you can stay at Seoul National University as a professor or continue your studies after graduation, so why bother to be an artist with no future? β
In South Korea, the social status of elite intellectuals is far from being comparable to that of entertainers.
"Thank you, Mr. Jin, but being an artist has been my dream since I was a child, and I will definitely work hard to achieve it. And I will never delay my exam results, as long as I fail the exam once, I will automatically drop out. Jin Shengyuan said.
"Hey!" Kim Chang-gi couldn't help but scold. Dropped? How could he be willing to let Jin Shengyuan drop out of school!
"In this way, if you accumulate more than three failed exams, you will give up your status as an artist and concentrate on staying in school!" Seeing that Jin Shengyuan's face was firm, Jin Changji no longer wasted his saliva and said directly. β¦,
"Thank you, Mr. Kim." Jin Shengyuan nodded in agreement.
Under Kim Chang-ki's introduction, Kim Sung-won wrote down the names and contact information of the five teachers one by one, and he could go to any of the five teachers' classes at any time, after all, there was no teacher who was proficient in seven foreign languages at Seoul National University.
β¦β¦
"I didn't expect that Teacher Han Jingshan would come to teach and supervise our dance practice today." In the evening, outside the entrance of the S.M company building, five girls gathered.
"Yes. Xiaoxian, it's so late today, I think we'll go again tomorrow. Yuna said to Xu Zhuxian with a reluctant expression. She was finally forcibly pulled over by Yu Li and others.
"I have already called to tell Brother Shengyuan to see him today, and he must abide by the agreement. And just now I have already sent a text message to tell Brother Shengyuan that my sisters are going with me, and he is already preparing dinner," Xu Zhuxian said to Yuna with a slight blink of his eyes.
After Yun'er heard this, a trace of water stains couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth, and she said with a painful face: "Hey! Who made Xiaoxian, you are my dearest sister! I'll sacrifice it for you. β
"I didn't expect Xiaoxian to have such a side," Yuli whispered to the other two girls beside her, "I can't match Xiaoxian's words after spending a long time." β
"Giggle," the other two girls chuckled.
"Xiaoxian, is your Shengyuan brother very good at cooking?" Next to Yoo Li, the tallest girl suddenly blinked, hooked Seo Joo-hyun's shoulder, and asked.
"Hey, I forgot Xiuying's nickname of 'God of Food'." Yuli sighed and said.
Xu Zhuxian shrank his body, as if he was not used to the girl's affection: "Brother Shengyuan worked in a Chinese restaurant when he was six years old, and he was on the eve of his debut at the age of fifteen. β
"Wow!" Xiuying exaggeratedly grew her mouth, thought for a while, and asked, "Is your Shengyuan brother handsome?" Is your body good? β
"One meter seven, looking decent," Without waiting for Xu Zhuxian to speak, Yun'er said lazily, "It is completely inconsistent with Sister Xiuying's aesthetic point of view, so you should stop being delusional." β
"Hey!" After hearing this, Xiuying sighed in disappointment.
"Sister Yun'er, Brother Shengyuan has changed a lot." After hearing this, Xu Zhuxian was slightly angry, and said, "I almost didn't recognize Brother Shengyuan when I saw him yesterday!" β
"So much change?" When Yun'er heard this, she immediately perked up, she knew very well the status of Jin Shengyuan in Xu Zhuxian's heart, if Xu Zhuxian almost didn't recognize it, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that Jin Shengyuan's changes were earth-shaking.
"Well, Brother Shengyuan's height has exceeded one meter eight, and he has become so temperamental," Xu Zhuxian said seriously.
"Wow! I like men with temperament. Xiuying suddenly became energetic again, "Especially a temperamental man who cooks a good dish!" β
"Isn't it? Isn't Brother Shengyuan already in his twenties, how could he suddenly grow so taller? Yun'a asked with a puzzled expression.
"It is not impossible for a boy to grow tall at the age of 20 because of the long development time." Another good-looking girl said, her voice crisp, like the soft cry of a yellow bird.
"The bus arrived, let's hurry up! GOGOοΌ Xiuying's eyes suddenly lit up and she said hurriedly.
