Chapter 3 That Man
In the time of cherry blossom shoots, the sky is as blue as a wash, and the bright sunshine shines on the earth, making people feel incomparable tranquility and comfort.
Jin Qixuan stood on the street, looking up at the blue sky, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot.
However, perhaps because he cried too much just now, Jin Qixuan felt a little thirsty at the moment.
He looked around, looking for a nearby convenience store.
Finally, not far away, he saw a familiar convenience store sign and walked quickly over.
Entering the store, Jin Qixuan picked up a bottle of water and walked to the cashier to pay.
He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, raised his head and took a sip. The cool liquid slid down his throat, making him feel instantly refreshed.
After finishing the water, Jin Qixuan's mood seemed to become more relaxed. He walked outside the store again, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the breath of spring.
At this moment, a clear and sweet female voice sounded in Jin Qixuan's ears:
"This handsome guy, can you help me buy a pack of cigarettes? Aixi brand."
Jin Qixuan heard the voice and turned around. Turning his head, his eyes fell on a white hand holding 10,000 Korean dollars.
He looked up along the hand, and what he saw was a standard oval face, with a pair of dark almond-shaped eyes under the arched eyebrows, clear and bright.
However, her appearance seems to be sealed by a pair of black-rimmed glasses, adding a bit of bookishness.
Her hairstyle is simple and neat, her ponytail is tied up high, she is wearing a student uniform, she has a slim figure, and her whole person exudes a well-behaved temperament.
However, Jin Qixuan was a little surprised that such a good girl would actually make a slightly rebellious request to buy cigarettes.
Jin Qixuan looked her over, took the 10,000 won from her, and walked into the convenience store.
Not long after, Jin Qixuan walked out of the convenience store carrying a black plastic bag.
He handed the plastic bag to the girl without any expression on his face, then turned and left without hesitation.
"Thank you~"
The girl took the plastic bag handed over by Jin Qixuan, raised her eyebrows slightly, and felt a little surprised.
She originally expected him to just hand her the cigarettes, but she didn't expect him to consider other options so carefully.
However, when the girl opened the plastic bag, her expression froze.
There were not the Aixi cigarettes she wanted inside, but four cartons of milk, with a small note on them that read "No Smoking for Minors."
The girl looked up at Jin Qixuan's retreating figure, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end the words got stuck in her throat and turned into a gentle sigh.
She lowered her head and looked at the milk and note in her hand, feeling an inexplicable emotion well up in her heart.
In the afternoon, Jin Qixuan returned home, carrying his brand new graduation certificate and gym bag with him.
Following the navigation guidance, we arrived at Central University and prepared to listen to two open classes.
In his previous life, he embarked on the road of acting with passion and persistence in his dreams, but he knew that he still had many shortcomings in acting.
In this life, he has more resources and opportunities, and naturally he is not willing to let them go easily.
In class, Jin Qixuan listened to the teacher's explanation attentively and recorded key points from time to time.
After two classes, Jin Qixuan felt that he had benefited a lot.
Not only did he gain a deeper understanding of acting, he also learned many practical techniques and methods.
After the lecture, Jin Qixuan decided to go to the university cafeteria to have a taste.
He walked into the cafeteria and looked around. He saw that the dishes were quite monotonous. Apart from pickled kimchi, radish, bean sprouts and shredded kohlrabi, the only meat dishes available were fried pork chops.
Although he was a little hesitant, Jin Qixuan decided to deal with him simply.
Although the taste of the food was not satisfactory, Jin Qixuan unexpectedly found that many elementary school girls were secretly looking at him.
This made him feel a little proud, thinking that his charm was indeed still the same as before.
However, until the end of his meal, no elementary school girl took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
After leaving campus, Jin Qixuan took the subway to the gym to exercise according to the address on his fitness card.
In the gym, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to fitness training, doing every movement in a standard and powerful manner.
After some sweaty training, he felt that his body had been fully exercised and his mood became particularly comfortable.
Jin Qixuan hurried home, full of plans to review what he had learned today.
However, when he stood at the door of his home and looked at the combination lock on the door handle, he felt a headache.
“I’m convinced! You still have to guess when entering a house!”
He stood at the door, pressing his fingers on the combination lock for a long time, trying every possible combination, but the door was still closed tightly.
Jin Qixuan couldn't help scratching his head, trying to recall the correct combination of passwords.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
Jin Qixuan was stunned and looked at the man in front of him in astonishment.
The burly and muscular man in front of me is none other than Kim Jong Kook, the last and most famous Triple Crown winner in the South Korean music industry.
He is not only a legend in the music industry, but also one of the few South Korean artists that Jin Qixuan knew in his previous life.
Jin Zhongguo looked at Jin Qixuan's surprised expression, raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly:
"What's that look in your eyes? Don't you recognize me?" Jin Qixuan smiled awkwardly and hesitated:
“Uh...no...”
He tried to calm down the shock in his heart.
Seeing this, Jin Zhongguo stepped aside to let Jin Qixuan enter the house.
Jin Qixuan put down his gym bag and carefully followed his steps to the living room.
His heart was full of doubts and curiosity, and he kept thinking about his relationship with Kim Jong Kook.
Master and apprentice? cousin? Or... illegitimate child?
These thoughts flashed through Jin Qixuan's mind, but they were interrupted by the sound of Jin Zhongguo reaching out and patting the sofa.
He immediately brought his thoughts back to reality and sat next to Kim Jong Kook.
Although he was full of curiosity, Jin Qixuan tried his best to remain calm, secretly looking at Jin Zhongguo's thick arms, feeling his strong presence.
Jin Zhongguo noticed Jin Qixuan sitting down, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and asked softly:
"I heard Professor Lin said that he recommended you to audition at TVN. How was the result?"
Jin Qixuan was caught off guard by this sudden question and prevaricated:
"Uh... that's good. I said roles will be assigned next week."
Although Jin Qixuan tried his best to stay calm, his heart was full of doubts and curiosity.
“Hey Yigu, wuli Qixuan is awesome.”
Jin Zhongguo looked at Jin Qixuan, his eyes flashed with approval, and his tone was full of sincere joy.
Jin Qixuan's big eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly he had a plan in mind and decided to test Jin Zhongguo's attitude.
“If I sign the contract next week, can you come with me?”
He asked tentatively, his eyes fixed on Kim Jong Kook's reaction.
Jin Zhongguo was startled when he heard this, obviously a little unexpected.
He never thought that Jin Qixuan, a nephew who had always been independent and self-reliant, would suddenly make such a request.
However, he quickly recovered from his surprise, and a warm current surged in his heart.
"Oh?" He responded softly, with a gentle curve at the corner of his mouth, and said, "No problem, uncle will accompany you."
Uncle...uncle? Jin Qixuan's eyes widened, and there was an indescribable shock in his heart.
Kim Jong Kook suddenly patted Jin Qixuan's thigh again, stared at him intently and asked:
"Have you made up your mind to become an actor?"
Jin Qixuan was a little confused by this question. Mind, he nodded and replied: "Of course, this is what I major in."
However, Kim Jong Kook's expression seemed a little complicated.
After a while, he sighed and said slowly:
"Thinking about it now, I don't understand why you chose drama performance in the first place. I thought you would choose vocal music. , after all, your sister and I laid such a good foundation for you, alas..."
When he mentioned his sister, his tone revealed some heaviness and helplessness, as if she had an unknown past.
Then Kim Jong Kook silently changed the subject and asked:
"Tell me about the audition process."
He seemed to want to find some clues from Jin Qixuan's audition experience, or to have a deeper understanding of Jin Qixuan's choices and determination.
Jin Qixuan nodded and began to describe his audition process in detail.
He talked about how he prepared for the role, how he performed in front of the camera, and the challenges and difficulties he encountered during the audition.
Jin Jongguo listened quietly, nodding from time to time, seeming to be thinking about something.
......
After a while, Kim Jong-guo listened to Jin Qixuan's account of the entire audition process with a look of relief on his face.
His caring eyes were like an old father watching his son show his talents for the first time, revealing the pride and joy of having a grown-up son in our family.
After Jin Qixuan finished speaking, Jin Zhongguo seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his thigh, and said to Jin Qixuan:
“By the way, Qixuan, you don’t have a brokerage company yet. Right? Just prepare your resume and I will pick you up tomorrow morning and take you to sign with an agency.”
When Jin Qixuan heard this, he immediately became energetic. He asked curiously: "What company is it?"
He still remembered his embarrassed look in the audition room during the day, so he was full of confidence about this matter. expectations.
Kim Jong Kook replied:
"Blossom Entertainment is a joint venture between Cha Taehyun and a few of his friends. The actors currently contracted are all from his previous agency, and they all have rich experience."
As soon as I heard "Che" With the name "Taehyun", Jin Qixuan's eyes immediately lit up.
He has always admired this Chungmulu actor, and it is undoubtedly a very good opportunity to join the agency founded by him.
Seeing Jin Qixuan's reaction, Jin Zhongguo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you get ready, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he raised his hand and patted Jin Qixuan's shoulder as a sign of gratitude. encourage.
Jin Qixuan also responded with a smile, his heart full of expectations and longing for the future.
