Chapter 15 Bride Price
Kim Jisoo scratched his head: "It's the relationship between a teacher and a student, right?" β
Although Huang Jingxi didn't like this fact, he still admitted it in his heart.
The girl in front of her is more attractive than herself in terms of talent, personality or appearance.
Both for men and women.
Even Hwang Kyung-hee herself, in contact with Kim Ji-so, also had some ideas that distinguished her from fans.
"This woman...... It's really flattering. Helplessly, he secretly glanced at Kim Jisoo beside him, and it was difficult for Hwang Jingxi to hate her because she was secretly labeled as a "competitor" in her heart.
Kim Jisoo continued to explain: "Don't get me wrong, it may be a little more complicated than your teacher-student relationship with him...... You know, he's going to perform "Forever Young" every year, right? I'm also his teacher. β
Because he was afraid that Hwang Jing-hee would misunderstand the relationship between the two, Kim Ji-so had to lie temporarily.
But as soon as the lie came out, the genius girl regretted it.
What kind of excuse is that...... It feels darker and darker.
Rubbing his cheeks, Kim Jisoo stood up neatly: "Let's go, let's go, we still have business to do." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The voice on the phone was the same as it had been at the airport seven years ago, but with a little less unquestionable strength.
Wen Chongdao, who was over fifty years old, sighed slightly: "You toss back to Seoul again." β
Twenty-three-year-old Wen Yingheng leaned against the window, feeling a slight coolness on the tip of his nose.
A little raindrop hit the bridge of his nose, and when he raised his eyes, he realized that the weather had changed from cloudy to light rain.
"Don't pretend to be surprised if you already know something. Also, don't you take good care of your family's business? β
"Take good care of it, and that will have to be passed on to you."
Thinking of his half-sister who had just entered elementary school in Shanghai, the boy's originally pretended indifferent face flashed with a little tenderness and more guilt.
"You know I'm not interested in inheriting the family business."
"Do you want Yingning to take on more responsibilities and pressures that belong to you?"
Knowing that the son is not as good as the father, even if it is like being separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, Wen Chongdao can still capture the opportunity that can be used through the slightly weakened tone of the other party.
"Say, if you're not completely sure I'm going to do something for you, you won't call."
The window in front of me formed a thin and fragile surface of fog due to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, and the fingers swiped lightly, leaving a stick figure of a little sheep.
Wen Yingheng was born in 99 and is a rabbit, and Wen Yingning was born in 15 and is a sheep.
At the boy's most rebellious and helpless time, he meets Yoo Jimin, and later meets his sister who descends into his world like an angel.
"Wendao Group had an investment in Seoul back then, and it has been doing well over the years."
When this old man became proud, he was as naughty as a child.
That ostentatious tone is what Wen Yingheng dislikes the most.
Therefore, boys also habitually bury their deepest thoughts in words or actions.
If the other party can't understand, it is naturally impossible to become the person Wen Yingheng cares about.
So far, it seems that only Wen Yingning has completely achieved this.
Yoo Jimin's words...... That's half the story. Because in the case of the other half, both of them play straight.
Wen Chongdao continued: "Aren't you curious about what kind of company it is? β
"Not curious."
"But if it's related to Yoo Ji-min or Kim Ji-so, wouldn't you still be curious?"
Pouted dissatisfiedly, this old guy, why did you mention Kim Ji-so?
"Is this illegal surveillance of my life?"
"Don't slander me, I've only recently been ...... for some reason Passively met Kim Ji-so. β
Pretending to be mysterious, the old man buried a question that could not be answered for the time being, and continued: "Back to the topic, it was a production company called 'music-lab', which Aunt Li Hui advocated investment at that time. Mainly engaged in some music production and various publicity and distribution businesses, these years can be regarded as earning some pocket money for you and Yingning. β
"I didn't use the money."
The pocket money of the two children was distributed by Li Hui.
Unwilling to use the money he received from Li Hui, Wen Yingheng quietly saved the money every time, and the password was his sister's birthday.
At that time, he thought that if his sister got married in the future, it would be regarded as part of the dowry given by his brother.
Although later, Wen Yingheng quickly changed his mind - it was better for stinky men not to get close to his sister, the balance in the account was still growing at a steady rate.
Caught up in memories with his sister, the boy was pulled back to reality by the old man's next words.
The little sheep in front of him lost its silhouette at some point.
"Then you have to think about your future wife."
"In the next few days, I will transfer my equity in music-lab to you, and you will regard it as one of the bride prices for my future daughter-in-law, right?"
The heat in the room blew against the glass, and the heat radiated to the boy's face, and the ice in his heart had already shown some signs of melting, but now, it seemed that he heard the sound before it was about to shatter.
"You just believe in me......"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Chongdao seemed to return to the serious appearance he had seven years ago: "Wen Yingheng, we are both very rational people, I know that you will pursue the optimal solution under the constraints of existing resources, so there is no reason for you not to accept it." β
Smile helplessly, this old fellow ...... The ability to grasp people's hearts is too strong.
"I don't know how music-lab works, and you should have a professional manager in the company to manage the company on your behalf...... So, at most, I'll just carry out some decisions for you. β
"Of course, I know that after a while, SM should have a relatively large equity change. While Music-Lab had enough money to buy that person's shares, there could be issues with related party transactions...... So, I'll let someone else buy the shares, and you, in the name of Music-Lab, will take a stake in her company. β
The boy with a sharp mouth subconsciously rubbed his cheeks again, trying to smooth the slightly raised corners of his mouth.
"It's enough to be able to do this, I'll give you the contact information of the person in charge over there later...... Also, you're doing a great job, Professor Wen. β
The middle-aged man emphatically emphasized the word "professor", followed by a noticeable laugh.
"Thank you for the compliment...... Old man. β
After the phone was silent for a while, Wen Chongdao's tone was obviously a little weaker: "For the first time, I think it's good to be called like this." β
"If you want to hear it, I will teach Jimin's children to call you the same in the future."
"Hmph...... Are you really sure? Wen Chongdao stretched out happily and snorted in satisfaction: "Family, some things always have to transition into the hands of your young people, don't bother you, just work when it's time to work." β
Hanging up the phone, the boy still had a question in his heart that he was extremely concerned about.
Kim Jiso...... How did you know Wen Chongdao?
This time, Wen Yingheng's desire to solve was far stronger than before, so he turned on Kakao and chose a video call.
The two girls in the video look at the camera in unison: "μλ νμΈμ!" β
