Chapter 11: Brothers
"Your suspension has been completed for you, so you don't have to go to class now."
"My academic performance was not very good, and if I can be admitted to Yonsei University, I guess you will not be less active, so it is better to be relieved temporarily than to suffer from each other there."
Ji Jingyuan was very sober in his heart, he knew that his academic performance could only be regarded as a little above average, with his talent, there was no need to continue academically, and being able to be admitted to one of the best universities on the peninsula was completely the result of his family's hard work in the future.
"Self-aware, worthy of my brother."
Ji Jingxu gave his younger brother an appreciative look.
Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to shake his eyes back and forth with his brother, changed to a more comfortable position and lay on the sofa, and asked with a sigh: "Speaking of which, why did I propose to be an artist this time, you and the eldest sister and the puppet parents agreed, I mentioned it many times in the past few years, and you all refused directly." β
A few years ago, Chi Jingyuan may have been affected by auditory hallucinations in his dreams, and became interested in music and film and television.
And when I was looking for a melody and film and television drama that matched my mind, I came into contact with a lot of materials, so I couldn't help but yearn for it, and I had a strong urge to join the entertainment industry and sing and dance.
At his request, his parents found him a very professional dance teacher and vocal teacher, and he has been practicing continuously for many years, and it is because of this foundation that he can directly parachute into the group that SM has scheduled to debut.
If he didn't have any dancing and singing skills at all, it is estimated that even if Lee so-man and Kim Young-min needed some of his family's resources, they would not force him to join the debut group and be a stake on the stage.
It's just that his parents don't have any opinions on his dance and vocal training, but as long as he puts forward a request to enter the entertainment industry to make his debut, he will directly refuse, even if it is the eldest sister who has always loved him, there is no room for negotiation.
Although Chi Jingyuan has a strong personality, he will not have any rebellious feelings against the discipline of his family, he has benefited countless from his family since he was born, and he was born much higher than his peers, and it is natural to be constrained by his family.
Since his family didn't agree, he didn't fight, and continued to study honestly at school, while doing dance and vocal training, but occasionally brought up the old things every once in a while, and then held back again after being rejected.
This situation has been going on for nearly two or three years, and Ji Jingyuan's dance training was stopped at the end of last year during the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, he brought up the old matter again, but he didn't expect his family to agree after thinking about it, both the second brother and the eldest sister expressed their support, even if it was their parents.
That's why he joined SM Entertainment and a series of things happened today, and it was his second brother Ji Jingxu who contacted Kim Young-min on his behalf.
"Humph......"
Chi Jingxu gave Chi Jingyuan a 'younger brother is really a younger brother' look, and said:
"We all said yes before, because you were not ready to decide your future at all, just because you like music and film and television, you want to enter the showbiz as soon as you like it, just like a bug that sees a flame and doesn't care about it, and doesn't think about other aspects at all. Without the influence of the family, your cost of trial and error is zero. β
"And your perception of the showbiz in the past few years was too one-sided, do you think that those on TV are usually showbiz? As long as you can sing on stage, you can become a star? Don't frown, you think I can't see what you thought before? I was too embarrassed to talk about you when you were naΓ―ve. β
Chi Jingxu looked at Chi Jingyuan with disdain, and then said: "But fortunately, the family genetics are good, you have matured a lot in the past two years, although you are still relatively shallow, but at least you have learned to observe with your own eyes." How's it going, did you encounter anything interesting today? β
Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly, he has gained a lot of knowledge today, but he is just a boy group that is preparing to debut, according to his observation, it is divided into several small groups, and everyone has different thoughts. And Li Xiuman, who welcomed his arrival, and Kim Youngmin, who had met once before, Ji Jingyuan also felt that these two might not be able to pee in the same pot.
This is just a small corner of the entertainment industry, but it can already reflect the complexity.
But Ji Jingyuan thinks it's quite interesting, at least a little more interesting than taking classes at school.
"It's useless to just teach this kind of thing, everyone's personality is different, you have to use your own eyes to observe, and distinguish many things from it, such as everyone's kindness and malice towards you, everyone's demands and ideas."
Ji Jingxu felt that it was really good to teach his younger brother, and it was not a shame that he put down a lot of things tonight and waited at home.
"But don't be too nervous, I know about the group you joined, you are the youngest one, and the others are some young people around twenty years old."
"Young people at this age are the most interesting, hot-blooded and indifferent, talking about interests and righteousness at the same time, even if there are some scheming, it can't be exaggerated, so don't keep thinking about intrigue with teammates, it's meaningless, just let you learn this way of thinking."
Chi Jingyuan nodded, he was born in this kind of family, he has always been relatively precocious, his parents, sister and brother also teach him from time to time, he can understand what his brother means.
"You worked hard to get into Yonsei University this time...... Don't squint at me, I did find some connections to get you in, but you also have a lot of credit for yourself, for example, if you don't take the test, then even I can't do anything. β
Chi Jingyuan turned his head speechlessly, his sunny smile and modest personality are on the surface, in fact, his character is proud and strong, and the second brother definitely knows what to say to accurately hit his younger brother.
Chi Jingxu smiled proudly, and then said: "You have matured a lot in the past two years, and your family is more at ease, and since you have been admitted to university, then you have a certain cost of trial and error, even if you fail and come back to school, the entertainment industry is still very exercised, and it is good for you to exercise, it is definitely better than you sitting in the classroom racking your brains and then being in a helpless daze." β
"Oh, Dad, Mom and Eldest Sister have the same ideas, even if you have been in the entertainment industry for a few years and left in disgrace, it doesn't matter, you were only in your twenties at that time, and it's not too late to come back and continue to go to college and take over some family business."
Speaking of this, Chi Jingxu's expression suddenly became serious, he looked at his younger brother next to him, and asked with a strange expression: "And Jingyuan do you know?" You're not the first person in this family to propose to be an entertainer. β
"You mean......" Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the second brother in disbelief.
"It's great to be able to do something you have talent for and want to do at such a good age." Ji Jingxu looked at his younger brother, his eyes full of what he and his sister looked like when they were children.
