Chapter 297: Apink
The next morning, the sun slowly rose, the warm sunlight poured into the bedroom, and the sound of birds chirping outside the window also woke up the sleeping Lin Yi.
Picked up the phone and looked at the time, it was only more than 6 o'clock in the morning, Lin Yi was still a little sleepy at this time, but last night he accompanied Pei Zhuhyun to chat until more than 3 o'clock in the morning, and he slept for 3 hours.
But although he was very sleepy, Lin Yi, who was used to getting up early, decided not to sleep, and looked sideways at Bae Joo-hyun, who was still dreaming, he gently stroked her face, and lowered his head to give her a good morning kiss on her cheek.
Turning over and getting out of bed, he came to the bathroom to wash up briefly, Lin Yi put on a short-sleeved T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of sports shorts on his lower body and went downstairs and came to the wide courtyard.
The plan of the day is in the morning, and the early morning in August is also the most comfortable time of the day. At this time, the weather is not hot, there is still a slight breeze, smelling the flowers, listening to the birdsong, it is really a good time to exercise.
Stretching, switchback, sit-ups... After doing some simple exercises, Lin Yi's clothes were also soaked with sweat, he drank saliva, wiped his sweat with a towel, took a few deep breaths, and then he lay directly on the lawn in the yard and covered his eyes with the towel, bathed in the sun, and fell asleep again unconsciously.
"Oba, Oba."
In the misty lake, Lin Yi heard someone calling him in his ear, took off the towel, and after slowly opening his eyes, he found that it was his sister Zhang Yuanying next to him.
"Oba, why are you sleeping here? Didn't Jonghyoni kick you out?" Zhang Yuanying thought that his Oba and Bae Joo-hyun had quarreled.
"Haha, no, we didn't quarrel, I accidentally fell asleep because I got up in the morning to exercise, what time is it?"
"It's almost 9 o'clock."
"Ah, it's so late."
Lin Yi hurriedly got up, touched Zhang Yuanying's cute little head, patted the dust on his body, ran upstairs to take a shower, and changed his clothes.
After changing her clothes, Lin Yi came to the side of the bed and gently patted Pei Zhuhyun's arm, which was still sleeping, and whispered in her ear:
"Joo-hyun, I'll go first, and you can settle breakfast by yourself later."
"Uh-huh."
Bae Joo-hyun closed his eyes and snorted softly.
Lin Yi looked at his girlfriend's cute appearance, covered her with a blanket again, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
"Well, I want to."
Bae Joo-hyun subconsciously grabbed Lin Yi, who was leaving, and his mouth was all muttering.
Lin Yihao kissed her again, and then he was able to get out.
Coming out of the villa, Lin Yi drove directly to CUBE Entertainment.
CUBE Entertainment's office is located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, which can be said to be a place where every inch of land is expensive in Seoul, and it seems that CUBE Entertainment has made a lot of money in recent years.
When Lin Yi parked the car and just walked to the gate of CUBE Entertainment, he saw Hong Shengcheng walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"Welcome, President Lin."
"President Hong, it's been a long time."
The two shook hands and exchanged a few words at the door.
"Let's go, President Lin, I'll show you around our CUBE Entertainment."
Hong Shengcheng made a gesture of please, and walked into the door of CUBE Entertainment with Lin Yi.
The arrival of the two also made many employees who were busy here look over, and when they saw that their president was so enthusiastic about introducing the company to a young man, they felt a little incredible.
In South Korea, the concept of class is very important, and if you can be the president of an entertainment company to receive such a person, it can be seen that this person's status must be very high.
"Chairman Lin, this is our CUBE Entertainment's honor exhibition room, which is full of works published by the company's artists so far, as well as various achievement trophies, let's go in and have a look?"
[In view of the general environment,
Hong Shengcheng took Lin Yi to a large room, which was also to show Lin Yi the strength of CUBE Entertainment.
"Okay."
The two walked into the exhibition room, when a young female staff member walked up to them and bowed and said hello.
"Hello President."
"Well, tell President Lin about it."
"Yes, President Lin, please come with me."
The staff member was briefly surprised when he heard that the young man in front of him was actually the president. However, out of professionalism, she still suppressed the curiosity in her heart and began to introduce Lin Yi to the various group artists under CUBE Entertainment who are active.
The staff took Lin Yi to a large glass display case with various trophies and albums.
"Chairman Lim, this is our company's girl group 4MINUTE, which is composed of five girls: Nam Ji-hyun, Heo Ga-yoon, Jun Ji-yoon, Kim Hyun-ah, and Kwon So-hyun. The group recently won a place on SBS's "Popular Songs."
Lin Yi looked at the girls on these albums and shook his head to indicate that he had not seen them once.
Immediately afterwards, the staff took Lin Yi to visit the display cabinets of other group artists, including the group Apink of ACUBE, a subsidiary of CUBE Entertainment.
For Apink, Lin Yi has heard of it, but there is no way, there is a girl in the family who is a fan of someone in this group, and she often mentions it in front of him.
Apink is a group that has been debuting for two years now, even a little later than EXID's debut, but the results are much better than EXID's.
This also made Lin Yi a little envious, it seems that the old entertainment company still has a foundation.
It's just that Apink also had personnel changes in the first half of this year, and the members have changed from 7 to 6 now, and the group must have been affected a little, and its performance has declined.
"President Hong, why did CUBE set up such a subsidiary?" Lin Yi turned to Hong Shengcheng and asked, he didn't quite understand why CUBE did this.
"Chairman Hayashi, this subsidiary was actually established for Apink in the first place, which is also for the better development of this group and to avoid competition with the girl group in the company."
"Oh, that's right."
"President Lin, would you like to meet the members of this group? They'll be here today."
"Oh?" Lin Yi looked at Hong Shengcheng in surprise, what does this mean?
"President Lin, don't get me wrong, in fact, I invited you over this time, and I do have some things I want to talk to you about, let's go to the office first, and I'll talk to you in detail."
"Okay."
Lin Yi had long expected that Hong Shengcheng's purpose for asking him to come was not simple, and now it seems that it should be related to this Apink, and even CUBE Entertainment is not having a good time now.
When he came to the office, Hong Shengcheng first asked the secretary to make two cups of tea, and then the two sat on the sofa in the reception area face to face.
Hong Shengcheng sighed first, and then slowly spoke:
"President Lin, I think you've probably heard some rumors, but yes, I'm not in good health right now."
"President Hong, has you been diagnosed? Why don't you go to America and check it out again, I can help." Lin Yi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was nearly 50 years old, and he was also very embarrassed in his heart.
"Thank you President Lin for your kindness, I have also been to many places for examinations, and the doctor said that if I maintain it well, I can live for more than ten years, and I will be almost 70 years old in ten years, and it will be almost the same, haha."
Although Hong Shengcheng had a smile on his face, Lin Yi could feel the loneliness in his heart, and anyone who encountered this situation would not be too optimistic.
"President Hong, I remember that there is a hospital in the United States that treats this disease very well, you can go and see, I also have some connections in the United States, if you need it, feel free to contact me." Lin Yi reminded out of kindness.
"Then thank you, President Lin." This time, Hong Shengcheng is
thanked Lin Yi very sincerely, and he could also hear his concern for himself from Lin Yi's words.
This kind of care Hong Shengcheng has not experienced for a long time, and he did not expect to feel this simple care again in a young man who has only met twice.
This also made Hong Shengcheng's perception of Lin Yi a little better, and he also had some confidence in what they were going to talk about next.
