Chapter XV

Early the next morning.

Looking at the woman asleep on the bed, the corners of Li Ang's mouth curled, lowered his head and gently pecked her delicate red lips, and gently stroked her silky hair. Feeling the body of the person in his arms gradually stretching, he knew that she was awake, but he didn't wake her up immediately.

After a long time, he felt that the person in his arms opened his misty eyes, and Li Ang kissed her forehead affectionately. "Early."

"Morning, Oba~~" Kim Taeyeon responded with a smile, and then sat up straight and hugged Li Ang's neck: "The passport has been completed, for the next trip, I want to go home to accompany my family in the past two days." After saying that, the little head rubbed in his arms.

Li Ang pinched the tip of her nose dotingly: "I'll go buy some gifts together later, and I'll go back with you when I have another chance." ”

"Hmm." Kim Taeyeon nodded obediently.

After breakfast, Lee Ang took Kim Tae-yeon to buy some of the more common gifts. After a brief reunion, the two ushered in a brief separation.

"Drive slowly on the road and stay safe." After the two reluctantly said goodbye, Leon watched the car gradually move away. Leon also drove to S-M to see how the demo he sent to Jimmy was doing, and by the way, to see the new combination that the company was about to launch.

"Hey, Jimmy?" When I got to the door of the studio, I heard Jimmy talking on the phone. Leon waved at Jimmy, walked into the music room, and saw Jimmy talking on the phone.

Jimmy saw Leon, and after hanging up the phone, he greeted Leon with a smile: "Hi, boss, long time no see~"

"It's been a long time, what have you been up to lately?"

"Lately? I've been busy lately, and my feet don't touch the ground! Jimmy shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

Leon raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh?" How's the thing I gave going? ”

Jimmy spread his hands and said, "Thanks to you, I didn't have to be so busy during this time, because I have to rush to work because of the demo you sent." The regression of the function is scheduled for July, and I need to catch up with the rest within a week. With that, Jimmy showed a bitter face, obviously genuinely tired.

Leon smiled, stretched out his right hand and patted Jimmy's shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, I forgot to tell you that my demo is not in a hurry, and there is nothing else to do." I'll go first, you can keep busy. With that, he turned and left the studio.

Jimmy stretched out his left hand and watched Leon leave with an international friendly gesture, then picked up the headset on the table again and began to work.

Take the elevator down to the basement floor, where the large practice room is reserved for artists who are about to make their debut. Looking at the four girls who were practicing hard, it was a little familiar to look at the back. However, he didn't bother, and after saying hello to the agent, he sat down next to him.

"Are Director Park and Director Han mainly responsible for bringing this new group?"

"Inside, the company only recently gave the arrangement. The debut date is set for early August, and although the title song has been decided, the other songs have not yet been produced, and the dance has not yet been rehearsed. I wasn't in a hurry in terms of time, so let the children practice the songs of their predecessors first. ”

Listening to the explanation, Li Ang nodded thoughtfully, and just watched them continue to dance.

As the music ended, the four girls were just about to sit down on the floor to regain their strength, when a cold voice accompanied by the sound of clapping hands interrupted them mercilessly. Although the big Buddha next to him doesn't usually come to the company, he greets the children out of etiquette to do the most basic greetings.

As soon as the four girls turned around, they saw Leon sitting leisurely in his chair, smiling and waving to them. Jiang Shiqi looked at the familiar person and just wanted to scream, but was interrupted by her sister's cough. Captain Erin began with "Happiness, hello everyone, we are Red Velvet", and the four of them skillfully greeted each other.

After a brief greeting, the four girls just stood there, looking at the agent and Li Ang a little overwhelmed. Looking at the agent who still wanted them to be introduced alone, Li Ang waved his hand when he heard this: "It's okay, I know a few of them, don't be so troublesome." After speaking, he took out his card and handed it to Director Park, looked at his questioning expression and said: "The children have practiced hard, plus all the staff in the practice room, you can watch and buy what you drink, and use my card to settle the bill, just let everyone rest first." ”

As usual, the five of them sat around the floor of the practice room, and the four girls all took advantage of the hard-earned break to massage each other's bodies and relax their tense muscles.

"It's already confirmed that it's the four of you when you debut, right?" Li Ang looked at Bae Joo-hyun, who was sitting on his left, and asked.

"Inside, here's what we've got."

Leon watched as he stared at his toes from beginning to end, resting his chin on his knees, fingers rubbing between them, and only turned his gaze to himself when he asked her something. It seems that every time I see her, she is like this, and her personality is a little too shy, which is not good.

Reaching out his left hand and patting her lightly on the shoulder, he felt her tremble visibly. He turned his head to look at himself, with an inquiring expression.

"You're older than all of them, so you're usually a little more lively, set a good example for your sisters, and as the captain of the group, you must understand your responsibilities and work hard to be a strong backing for your sisters, Erin." After speaking, he looked at the other three and nodded in agreement, my sister is usually too introverted, it would be nice if she could be lively.

Soon the agents returned with coffee and drinks, and after accepting the cards, they took a random cup of coffee and picked a few glasses of juice and handed them to them. Listening to the voice of thanks again, he waved his hand, and looked at the agent who was still standing stupidly on the side, and asked him to relax and sit on the floor like everyone else, so that he didn't have to look up at him all the time when he spoke.

"Director Park, how can you artists here be considered popular?" Li Ang, who doesn't know much about the entertainment industry on the peninsula, suddenly came to a sentence.

"The sound source and sales account for a part, and to put it simply, it is one of the singing stages. There will be a singing show every week, and one will be produced every week. The success of a combination depends largely on how much you take in one person. ”

I didn't think much of it when I saw Taeyeon and them get one before, so I didn't pay much attention to it. After listening to the explanation, Li Ang suddenly realized, so he asked again: "Is it easy for the newcomer group to get one?" ”

"This is really difficult to answer, there are also combinations that get one on the debut, and it still depends on the company's planning and market reaction, which is unpredictable. Even since their debut, there are many groups that have not won one place. ”

Hearing the two of them talking about one, Jiang Shiqi looked at Li Ang with an expression that I already knew everything and said, "Is Oba going to make a pact with us?" Leon, who looked at him for some reason, continued to explain to him: "It's just to agree on something, and if we get an Oba, we will fulfill it. ”

Several girls also coaxed at the same time, coquettish massage all kinds of moves to use without giving Li Ang a chance to speak, and after the agent stopped their behavior, they still looked at Li Ang expectantly.

After thinking about it carefully, he beckoned and whispered some questions in Chief Park's ear, and after getting the answer, he put his heart at ease and said, "If you get one, does the NBA know?" I'm going to use my connections to arrange for you to perform at halftime of the game, and I'm going to give you three days of travel. ”

As soon as Li Ang's words fell, the girls immediately shouted happily.

Li Ang waved his hand to signal them to calm down and continued: "But if you don't get one, then my agreements will be null and void, and Chief Park remembers to testify." ”

Jiang Shiqi, who looked happy, stretched out his little thumb and hooked Li Ang's little thumb, and his thumbs also touched together, and a convention was established.

With a triumphant look on his face, he smiled at Leon and said, "Oba, it has been agreed that according to your requirements, we will get one, and you have to do what you promised." But! You didn't say exactly when you got one, so you can't repent, we will work hard for this goal, thank you Oba for your encouragement, come on! ”

And President Park on the side also began to applaud happily with an incredible expression when he heard this, of course he was just an employee, he didn't dare to say anything, in short, Jiang Shiqi was good.

"Well, didn't I say that I made my debut and got one?" Li Ang glanced at the agent next to him uncertainly. After seeing him shake his head, he lay on the floor a little speechless, but it didn't matter, he just wanted to be quiet now.
