The next afternoon

As soon as Li Ang, who finished his workout, walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he received a call from Li Haoyang, saying that he wanted to invite himself to the company to have a look.

After hanging up the phone, while wiping his wet hair with a towel, he clicked on the address sent on his phone with some impatience.

Obviously, it has already been negotiated, and the contract was signed yesterday, so I don't know what to call myself for.

Thinking so, I finally changed into a casual set of black shorts and a T-shirt, stepped on a pair of flip-flops to the garage, and went out in such an indecent outfit, and drove the car to set off for their company.

It didn't take long to drive to the place shown on the navigation, and after looking at the parking spaces near their company, they were full of cars, and complained a little irritably. After driving a short distance, I found a small parking lot.

After parking the car, I bought a cup of coffee at the coffee shop and walked towards their company.

Standing at the door, he looked up at the shabby little building with only three floors, pushed the door open and walked in. came to the front desk to say hello and learned that Li Haoyang was already waiting in the office on the third floor.

The company was so poor that it didn't even have an elevator, so it could only go up to the third floor through the stairs on the side.

At first glance, the entire floor does not occupy much space, except for the office and a conference room, the rest of the space is full of empty chairs.

Li Ang looked around with some embarrassment, and there was no figure on the entire floor. I came to the office door and knocked on the door, then pushed the door and walked in.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Li Haoyang, who was sitting in the office, immediately stood up and greeted Li Ang, and said with a smile: "Li Angxi, oh no, it's time for you to call the boss." ”

"Why is there only one person left in the company except the front desk, and what about the others?" He took the cigarette he handed him and sat directly on the old sofa against the wall, looking at the office that had been renovated for some time.

"The kids are all practicing in the basement, and the rest of them have basically quit, leaving only their agents here, and the front desk is on their last day of work."

Speaking of this, Li Haoyang's expression couldn't help but be a little bitter, the company that had worked hard for several years was gone.

"Let me tell you in advance, this company will be integrated and merged in two days. As for whether to merge into JYP.E or Starship, it is currently being discussed, and an announcement will be made later.

The presidents of these two companies should also have a lot of dealings.

Although everyone will be a family in the future, I still have to remind you not to forget the gambling money in the agreement. ”

Li Ang takes a fancy to him, in addition to his own good creative ability, the two composers Song Zhouying and Cui Kuisheng who are next to him are also capable of helping, and the members of the five groups are also strong in his eyes.

After the general situation was finished, Li Ang proposed to go to the practice room to take a look before leaving.

Under the leadership of Li Haoyang, he went to the basement floor, and did not forget to complain about this impoverished company all the way.

After learning that the entire building was still rented in partnership with friends, Li Ang was even more speechless, but he also understood the difficulty of raising a company.

......

In the humid environment of the practice room, there are all kinds of miscellaneous items, and the five girls are sitting around eating snacks.

Park Zhenghua, who was the first to see the people coming, stood up first and said, "Oba, we are not lazy, we just sat down and rested for a long time." ”

"Everyone has worked hard, if you keep persevering, you won't have to practice in this small place in two days." Li Haoyang rarely leaked a smile and came to sit down beside the girls.

"I heard that the comeback song you've prepared has already been made?" Li Ang walked around the practice room, leaving a clear mark where his fingertips brushed, looking at the dust stained on his fingertips, he clapped his palms with some disgust, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

Hearing this, Li Haoyang picked up the tablet on the side and began to play the song prepared for this return according to his meaning.

For a moment, only the sound of music playing remained in the practice room.

The short period of more than three minutes passed quickly, and Lee Ho-yang and Ahn Hyo-jin, who were the creators of the song, both looked at Lee Ang at the same time, expecting what he would say about the song.

After thinking for a while, Li Ang didn't make any comments, but swept around the five people sitting around and asked, "How do you all five speak English?" ”

Although he didn't understand why he asked, the three oldest people in the team raised their hands one after another to say that there was nothing wrong with their normal communication, and the rest of Xu Hye-xuan and Park Jung-hwa nodded in agreement, and then several people looked at him blankly.

"Let's put the plan of this return on hold for now, and tomorrow you go to JYP.E to practice, and I'll communicate with that side first, and then arrange your next plan when I go over tomorrow."

I've seen everything I should have seen this time, and I have a plan in mind about how to arrange it later. The environment in which they practice is also very poor, and everything will be discussed tomorrow.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the practice room had suddenly dropped, Li Ang didn't say much. His eyes intersected with An Xiyan, and his complicated expression almost wrote the words in his heart on his face, and he left directly after saying goodbye to a few people.

Li Haoyang didn't know what he was going to do, so he personally said that he would stop his return first, and he didn't have anything to say.

After comforting the five girls sitting on the floor, he went upstairs to pack his things.

......

"Ernie, we've been waiting for this opportunity for more than a year, and I don't know how long we'll have to wait..."

Seeing this, Xu Shuzhi hugged Xu Huixuan, who was sobbing softly, and patted her back silently.

Just an understatement, the hope that was close at hand was shattered in an instant, and the return became distant again.

She debuted as a singer in 06, and she has been active for five years without making any splashes. debuted again as an idol, and spent more than two years with ups and downs, and fate always likes to joke.

......

"Why don't we buy some meat and go back to barbecue in the evening, I still have last month's settlement fee. Didn't Jae Hyun Oba say we would be able to move to a new dormitory tomorrow? It's time to celebrate together in the evening. Ahn Hyo-jin stretched out her arms and put her arms around her sister on both sides of the proposal.

"But ......"

Xu Huixuan rubbed her eyes, wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand, and was interrupted by An Xiaozhen before she finished speaking.

"Don't think about it so much, everything will be fine."

……

When he returned home, Leon began to busily check the report again, and after a busy trip to Europe for so long, it was finally time to harvest.

Enjoying the string of numbers, I turned on the music player to play music, lay on the sofa and rubbed my temples and began to close my eyes and recuperate.
