Chapter 831: Reception (I)
The reception was not held at a prestigious hotel such as Lotte Hotel or Seoul Hotel, but was chosen as a private hotel that was not very well-known.
Jin Shengyuan has not gone out in the main hall since he arrived, firstly, he does not like this atmosphere, and the other reason is that if his acquisition of the shares of "Daily Economy" is known, it will not be a good thing for him.
Perhaps, this is an incidental purpose of Zhu Yuanjiang holding a celebration reception for himself, right? However, judging from what he has heard, contacted, and observed in the past few days, he does not seem to be that kind of dark character......
Holding a glass of red wine in his hand and sitting alone on the sofa, Jin Shengyuan thought about the information about Zhu Yuanjiang. If he wants to control "Daily Economy", Zhu Yuanjiang is a hurdle he must overcome.
Other shareholders have also arrived, and after everyone has said hello, they have gone out to entertain friends. Jin Shengyuan refused Zhu Yuanjiang's kindness to introduce him to friends and stayed in the house alone.
"This tastes ......" After slowly taking a sip of red wine, Jin Shengyuan frowned with some distress. It's not that red wine doesn't taste good, it's that he's really not used to it. However, Han Jimin insisted that he must drink red wine because of his different identity. Unlike Park Jung-yoon and Choi Hyun-jun at that time, Han Jimin is very serious and knows how to measure proportions, so the binding force on him has been increasing little by little, and he has gradually become accustomed to the constraints of Han Jimin around him.
The relationship between the agent and the artist, because there is more contact with each other than between husband and wife, and many secrets are kept secret, so it is really very close.
In the hall on the first floor, business celebrities and celebrities who arrived early had smiles on their faces. From time to time, people introduce themselves or other friends to each other, and they get to know each other.
It was a relatively free and relaxed reception, and Zhu Yuanjiang sent out an invitation in his own name, and did not specifically mention the celebration for Jin Shengyuan - Jin Shengyuan had already stated in advance that he would not appear in the hall. However, many well-informed people knew the news and were curious about his identity.
The reception has not officially started yet, but the scene is already very lively. The crowd gathered together in twos and threes. They talked about their favorite topics. The purpose of this kind of reception is to let the guests mingle with each other and get to know each other. As for the celebration of Kim Sung-won, it was held in the main hall on the second floor, and almost all of the people who could enter it were shareholders of "Daily Economy".
Of course. For the time being, it's just Jin Shengyuan sitting inside.
"Zhu Yuanjiang, I heard that you are now the second shareholder?" In the hall on the first floor, a grade is similar to Zhu Yuanjiang. The man who was not tall, had a big belly, and wore glasses suddenly stopped Zhu Yuanjiang, who was greeting his friend, and asked with a smile.
"Hmm." Zhu Yuanjiang's enthusiasm was obviously not high, and after stopping, he glanced at the other party and responded a little perfunctorily. The name of the "Fourth Newspaper" is no better than that of the three major newspapers such as the Chosun Ilbo, and it has never been positioned as a prepared one. It's just that there are more supporters of "Daily Economy". The other party's name is Park Shuangyu, a shareholder of the South Korean United News Agency, and he is a familiar competitor.
"What is the origin of that major shareholder? Why hasn't it appeared yet? Park Shuangyu asked curiously, as if he didn't notice Zhu Yuanjiang's coldness at all.
"It's already here! It's in the main hall on the second floor, but I don't like to show up. Zhu Yuanjiang suddenly smiled. He said to him, "Would you like me to introduce you?" β
"Don't bother, since the other party doesn't want to come out, I don't need to annoy people!" Park Shuangyu saw that the smile on Zhu Yuanjiang's face seemed a little strange, so he rejected his "kindness" without thinking about it.
"Hehe......" Zhu Yuanjiang smiled and found a familiar friend walking in. So he took his leave and greeted him.
"Dad, what did you talk to Uncle Zhu about?" A young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who seemed to have just been discharged from the army and still had a small head in the army, came to Park Shuangyu's side and asked curiously.
"Something about the new shareholders." Park Jiangyu glanced at his energetic son, nodded with satisfaction, and replied. Although he and Zhu Yuanjiang are competitors, they have known each other for more than 30 years, and their families are already familiar with each other.
"Oh." Park Kang-woo's son, Park Chang-yi, after hearing this, glanced absent-mindedly in the hall, and then muttered in a low voice: "It's so boring, why is there no performance?" β
"Bastard! Are you one of those messy gatherings? When Park Jiangyu heard his son's evaluation, he immediately glared at him fiercely and reprimanded. This kind of talk, if it is heard by outsiders, will inevitably spread and leave them with bad comments.
Park Chang-yi smiled a little cringe, and then trotted away from his father's side.
β¦β¦
After a while, the party finally officially began, and red wine, juice, pastries and other things were pushed up.
Although they knew that there was a new major shareholder in "Daily Economy", and everyone wanted to get acquainted, there was no explanation in Zhu Yuanjiang's invitation to hold a cocktail party, and everyone had to occasionally talk curiously about a few words during the conversation.
This kind of drinking party is very different from ordinary drinking parties, and most of the people talk about business things, such as "someone lost tens of billions of won due to improper investment", "a certain company's products suddenly sell well", and so on.
These people, who are over 40 years old, are the center of the reception, and the other celebrities are just a foil to the atmosphere. Even so, it's hard for artists who don't have relationships to get in β the competition is fierce! Once they get acquainted with a certain boss, it will be very beneficial to their development in the entertainment industry, especially actors.
Yuna sat quietly at a table, sipping juice and occasionally picking up a piece of pastry and putting it in her mouth. It's not that she's hungry, it's just that she's too bored, and she's a little reserved at the same time.
The artists on the scene are all actors except her, Han Jiaren, Li Dahae, and Lee Minzhen...... And they are all more famous than her!
She can only be regarded as half an actress, after all, her main job is a singer, and in such an atmosphere, there seems to be no room for her to speak. Especially what those people are talking about, let her little head calculate for a long time to figure out how many years she needs to work hard to reach the fluttering numbers in those people's mouths! The conclusion she came to made her even more confused.
At this time, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking in, bowing to each senior she saw from afar.
"Didn't the agent OPPA say that I was the only one in the company?" Yun'a's eyes widened immediately, and she thought to herself. It's Lee Yeon-hee! An actor owned by S.M.
"Sister Yeon-hee!" Yuna quietly got up and waved to Li Yanxi, who was dressed in a dress, and said.
Li Yanxi didn't expect that she would be able to have Yujian Yun'er at this kind of drinking party! After being slightly stunned, he walked towards her.
"Yun'a, did you come by yourself?" Lee Yeon-hee, as a senior and sister of the company, took the initiative to ask Yuna.
"Hmm!" As if she had found an organization, Yuna nodded and said, "The agent OPPA said that I am the only one in the company!" The words were full of resentment. Knowing this, she came with Li Yanxi, and she didn't have to be embarrassed for so long.
Li Yanxi pursed her lips and smiled, gently patted her sister, who was as cute as an elf, and said, "I just finished participating in the event and rushed over." β
"Hello Miss Two, introduce yourself, my name is Park Changyi!" At this time, a young man with short hair came to the two of them, showed a smile, and said.
"Hello." Lee Yeon-hee and Yoon-a bowed slightly at the same time and said. The other party is obviously older than them.
"I know you, you're 'Guo Yinglan' in "East of Eden", right?" Without waiting for the two to introduce themselves, Park Changyi spoke again. Because he had just retired, he was not familiar with Yuna and Lee Yeon-hee, and Lee Yeon-hee's name was only known after he asked others.
Li Yanxi smiled and nodded, and then took the initiative to introduce Yun'a: "This is Yun'a from Girls' Generation." β
"Ahh Park Changyi immediately suddenly, and then said enthusiastically: "Hello! Miss Yuna. In the army, he often heard the name "Girls' Generation".
"Hello." Yuna bowed down again to say hello with an elegant smile on her face.
"Miss Lee Yeon-hee, I like 'Guo Yinglan' very much......" However, after a brief conversation with Yoona, Park Chang-yi once again focused on Lee Yeon-hee.
Yuna was a little embarrassed. She suddenly realized that she was not staying or leaving, and when she turned her head awkwardly to look around, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the corridor on the second floor.
"Huh?" Yun'a blinked her eyes, a little doubtful that she was dazzled, but the figure had disappeared just now, and she didn't have time to confirm it at all.
Although she had been sitting in the corner, she still faintly heard some people's conversations, and knew that the second floor was not the place they could go up. This made her even more unable to confirm whether that back was the person she was familiar with!
β¦β¦
In the main hall on the second floor, Han Jimin walked in and said to Kim Sung-won, "Sung-won OPPA, I saw Yun'er." β
"Yuna?" Jin Shengyuan's hand paused slightly, and then said without hesitation: "You bring her in." β
βhaodeοΌβ Han Jimin nodded and returned to the hallway.
β¦β¦
Lee Yeon-hee noticed that Yuna turned her head to look at the second floor from time to time, thinking that she was too bored, and was about to lead the topic to her, but found that her face suddenly showed a look of surprise and disbelief.
Following Yuna's gaze, Lee Yeon-hee only saw the back of a woman, and then heard Yuna say, "I'm sorry, Sister Yeon-hee, Park Chang-yi's senior." After saying that, she walked to the second floor under the surprised gazes of the two. (To be continued.)
