Chapter 70 Kim Jong Kook Military Service Incident
ps: Thank you, the reward of the blue and vast 100 starting point coins, thank you...!
"Oh, that's it. Then you can do it first. I'll contact them first to see if they are free. Kim Jong Kook has been very annoyed about military service recently. It just so happens that you are back, so you can persuade him too." Kang Ho-dong also knew that Lee Hyun-ri was going to do serious things now, so he agreed to contact him for a while.
The two made an appointment and hung up the phone. Lee Hyun-ri also returned to Lee Ji-eun's father. First, he apologized, "Sorry, uncle, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"It's okay, I heard you say it's Kang Ho-dong, why is he asking you for trouble?" Lee Ji-eun's father also asked Lee Hyun-ri. He knew that Lee Hyun-ri was a star and was very busy. Now that he came to find Ji-eun, he already valued his children.
"Nothing is wrong. I just returned to China today. Brother Hudong wanted to treat me to dinner, so he called. I refused. Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, so I'll go to a barbecue restaurant first and talk while eating. I'll treat you." Li Xianli also generously proposed the invitation.
"How can you be so embarrassed? I'll treat you." Lee Ji-eun's father also said tactfully. Although his family's financial situation was not very good, he could still afford a barbecue meal.
"Uncle, don't be polite to me. If I hadn't come back and saw Ji-eun's information, our company would have almost let Ji-eun go away." Lee Hyun-ri also smiled and praised Lee Ji-eun.
"Okay, it's a waste of money for you. Let's just find a small barbecue shop."
"Okay, uncle, get into my car."
Lee Ji-eun sat behind her father. Lee Hyun-ri pulled them to the 678 barbecue restaurant in Kang Ho-dong because Lee Hyun-ri knew where there was a private room.
When the two got off the car and saw the name of the store, they knew, "Hey, I said I would just find a small barbecue restaurant, it really cost you a lot."
"It's okay, it's also my business, so I'm taking care of Brother Hudong. Maybe they won't charge me any more. Hahaha, let's go, uncle." Li Xianli said jokingly, and then took the two people in. The hall was almost full.
When many diners saw Li Xianli coming in, they started saying, "Ah, look, Li Xianli is here."
"Ah, it's Li Xianli. Are there other stars coming soon?"...
When the waiter saw that it was Li Xianli, he led Li Xianli and his group to find a private room and arranged for them to go in. "Hello, Li Xianlixi, do you want to notify our president?"
"Oh, no need to notify your president. Thank you. I just have some food with my sister's family to take care of Brother Hudong's business." Li Xianli also said to the waiter with a smile.
"Well, OK, what do you need?"
"Supply 4 servings of Korean beef, and 4 servings of pork belly. 4 servings of ribs and 4 servings of ribs. Uncle, would you drink some soju?" Li Xianli ordered all the dishes. If it weren't for Lee Hyun-li's treats, Li Ji-eun might not be able to afford the meal.
"Drink, Hyun Li, you can drink with me too." Lee Ji-eun's father also felt that eating barbecue must be accompanied by soju, so he was not polite.
"Well, OK uncle will accompany you to drink some. Come with 2 bottles of soju, order them after you finish drinking. Come with a bottle of juice, let's do it first."
"Okay, Li Xianlixi, please wait. We will serve you immediately." After that, the waiter withdrew.
After the waiter went out, Lee Hyun-li took out a file bag and gave it to Lee Ji-eun's father. "Uncle, look at this contract. It is Ji-eun's trainee contract, and every trainee is the same."
Lee Ji-eun's father took the file bag, took out the trainee contract, and then looked carefully. Before the dishes were served, he finished reading it, and asked Lee Hyun-ri, "Well, do you provide food in the dormitory and canteen? Can we Ji-eun go to the dormitory to live in the dormitory?"
"Oh, uncle, every trainee in the dormitory can apply to stay. Our company canteen can only provide lunch and dinner. Breakfast has to be solved by ourselves, but we have a living allowance of 300,000 won per month." Li Xianli also explained.
"Jien can go to the dormitory, I have no problem."
When Li Xianli heard Lee Ji-eun's father, he said that when there was no problem, he took out a pen and came with a seal. "Uncle, please sign it, stamp it here. Ji-eun also needs to sign it."
Finally signed the contract with Lee Ji-eun, and Lee Hyun-ri became at ease.
"Uncle, Ji-eun, I am very optimistic about his future, so I asked her to learn music with me. I don't have to learn from other teachers. Language has to be learned from other teachers. After all, I don't have so much time." Li Xianli also said that he wanted to accept Li Ji-eun as a student.
"Okay, you are the number one musician in Korea. Thank you for cultivating our Ji-eun. I thank you on behalf of our whole family." Lee Ji-eun's father immediately thanked Lee Hyun-li.
Just as the two were chatting, the dishes were all brought in. Lee Ji-eun saw the meat on the table and stared at it. This caused a reminder from his father.
Finally, Lee Hyun-li smiled as he looked at Lee Ji-eun's cute appearance.
After dinner, Lee Hyun-li called his agent and drove his car to take them home. Lee Ji-eun will report to the company tomorrow. Lee Hyun-li also told Xiao Ji-eun that her practice room was on the 6th floor and she used the same practice room with her.
Lee Hyun-li called Jiang Hudong. "Brother Hudong, where is it? The matter here is over."
"I'm at my own barbecue restaurant in Jiangnan. Come here quickly. Except for Jidong, there is no place, and Zhongguo is all here. Waiting for you, hurry up." Jiang Hudong immediately told Li Xianli when he saw Li Xianli asking about his location.
......
Just when the three were still drinking, Lee Hyun-ri heard Yoo Jae-suk's advice to Kim Jong Kook, "Jong Kook, this time I can only say that your company's decision-making mistakes... I'm not thinking about it anymore. Two years will pass soon."
Li Xianli opened the door and went in by himself. When several people saw Li Xianli coming in, they stopped the topic just now. They greeted Li Xianli, "My younger brother, come over quickly and sit with your brother."
After Li Xianli went in, he greeted the three of them first. "Brother Hu Dong, Brother Shi, Brother Zhong Guo. Sorry, I have something to do in front of me, so I'm late?"
Liu Zaishi also spoke, "Brother Hudong, I said you have something serious, it's okay! You see what you are eating? Anyway, Brother Hudong treats you, it's useless not to eat."
"Ah!!! I'll treat you, I should say this. Hyun-ri, I'll order what I want to eat yourself." Kang Ho-dong said to Yoo Jae-suk jokingly.
"Haha, no need, I just ate it. Brother Hudong, I went to take care of your business. I would have called you if I had known, and I would have asked you to give me a free bill." Li Xianli immediately integrated into it and started joking.
"Ah hahaha..." Kim Jong Kook and Yoo Jae-suk laughed when he heard Lee Hyun-ri's joke. Only Kang Ho-dong looked injured.
As soon as Lee Hyun-ri sat down, Kang Ho-dong poured Lee Hyun-ri a glass of wine. "Drink some. I believe you know about Kim Jong-kook, too."
Lee Hyun-li took the wine poured by Jiang Hudong and drank it all in one go. "Well, I know. I told Brother Zhong Guo that if this is a huge success, the agency would not want to see it. It would definitely suppress Brother Zhong Guo. I thought about it long ago. But I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Kim Jong Kook also knew that Lee Hyun-ri said he had reminded him before. He didn't expect that the so-called success was the name of "Triple Crown King". "Hyun-ri, my brother should have really listened to you at that time. Hey, it's just that our company was careless. Forget it, since it's a foregone conclusion, we shouldn't mention it anymore."
Kim Jong Kook was sad alone. Indeed, no one knew what Kim Jong Kook's popularity would be like in two years. After two years of silence, there was no news in two years. At Kim Jong Kook's most glorious moment, going to serve in the military has really hit Kim Jong Kook and their company.
It is really cruel for Kim Jong Kook. However, this is a battle without gunpowder between brokerage companies, and the cruel reality cannot be changed. Kim Jong Kook's title of "Triple Crown King" really hurt other companies, and he had no choice but to be sorry to Kim Jong Kook.
Lee Hyun-ri also comforted Kim Jong-kook, "Brother Jong-kook, don't care too much, isn't it just two years? It'll be over soon. I tell you that the "Triple Crown King" will no longer be popular in the future. It will be the idol era, and all are young people. Now, our company will soon launch a girl group. Although there are not as many people as SJ, there are also many. There are currently 7 people, and maybe 1 to 2 more will be added. All of them are developments in multiple aspects, including TV series, variety shows, advertising, fashion, radio, etc. You have to intervene. You have also seen that Dongfang Shenqi is more successful? It has a very big impact overseas."
Li Xianli said here, so he gave himself a glass of wine, drank it in one sip, and continued, "So, it's very difficult for SOLO, and the 'triple crown' will not appear in the future. Brother Zhong Guo will be the only one who will be under this name. To put it bluntly, whoever is the general trend will be found."
"Xianli, what you said is not true, right? It will be the world of idols in the future? What should we do with the older generation?" Jiang Hudong immediately asked Li Xianli.
"Haha, Brother Hudong, you misunderstood my words. Now the show has begun to change slowly. Isn't Brother Shi's infinite challenge a new form? One main MC, multiple auxiliary MCs, host variety shows together. In the future, variety shows will basically develop outdoors. There are also some variety shows. There is no shortage of idol men and women who can serve as auxiliary MCs. In order to improve the ratings, or invite idol groups to participate, stimulate the ratings, and make a special series." Li Xianli also explained his future direction to his brothers in detail.
"Oh, I'll understand if you say that. What you mean is that outdoor variety shows will be the general trend in the future? So do you have any plans to join which program when you come back this time?" Liu Zaishi immediately asked. As long as Li Xianli said that he would join which program team to be the MC, no program would be unwilling to be unwilling to see Li Xianli's achievements in the MC position. All TV stations can clearly see it.
