Chapter 151 Lee Soon Kyu’s Ambition
(Thank you for the 10,000-dollar reward from "I'm a Fever". Here's the fourth update. This is a 4k version and I won't open it. I usually help you with book reviews. It's a small thank you to you.
I have really been typing tonight, and I have used all the preparations for tomorrow. Thank you for your support of this book, and I hope you will continue to support the original version. There will definitely be two updates tomorrow, believe me...)
"After all I've said, do you realize how hard it is for me? I've been practicing for so many years and you haven't seen it yet!"
"Let's talk about this time first. You entered Girls' Generation in 2007 and practiced in your father's company for 9 years? You started practicing when you were seven years old? Are you lying?" Li Menglong asked funnyly.
"Isn't it okay to be seven years old? Of course it starts from when I started going to the company to practice. Although the number of visits in the first two years was relatively small, it still counts." Li Shunkyu felt disgusted with Li Menglong's serious attitude.
Of course, the world of trainees has changed a lot in the past years. In fact, practicing from the age of ten to eighteen is not much different from starting from the age of fourteen or fifteen, because even though it was training in the past few years, the academic part was still A little too much.
"Okay, then let's talk about other things. Your father's company, you go to practice? Then the whole company treats you like an ancestor, how much hardship can you endure? Solji and the others ate a box of fried chicken today You will always be happy!" Li Menglong continued to look at Li Sunkyu with colored glasses.
"I always live with other trainees, okay? In order to convince my father to let me be a trainee, I have very little pocket money. I practice singing and dancing every day. I am the hardest working person in our company!" Li Shunkyu said aggrievedly with his head hanging.
He still believed what Lee Soon Kyu said. Even though this girl always looked like she didn't care about anything, that was for Girls' Generation's internal affairs! Outside and facing outsiders, Lee Soon Kyu has always wanted to do his best.
But he didn't know how to say these words. Li Shunkyu didn't know how long it would take to say it, so of course he would attack her and say: "Then won't your mother give you pocket money?"
Sure enough, Lee Soon Kyu was speechless. All the families in the world looked the same, one was red-faced and the other was in vain. But in the final analysis, it was for the sake of his own children, and how could Lee Soon Kyu's father not take care of his daughter, unless he knew that Lee Soon Kyu was not his biological child.
When the car arrived in front of a four- or five-story building, Li Soonkyu walked out full of resentment. Li Menglong parked the car and stood over. The building is quite dilapidated. The first floor has been converted into a coffee shop. Each floor above seems to have been rented out separately, with different advertisements.
"At that time, the whole building belonged to us, and we were very popular! When the first-generation girl groups and the second-generation girl groups were not popular, our company's Suger was the best girl group!" Lee Soon Kyu said proudly: "Even though they were disbanded later, the sisters are now developing very well. Three of the four of them have become actors. Ayumi Oni is also developing very well in Japan!"
Li Menglong was at ease as a listener, a place where Li Soonkyu had lived for nine years, and where she spent almost all of her childhood. He didn't ask why the company was disbanded after it was developing so well, nor why Li Xiuman didn't help at that time. Li Soonkyu himself didn't say anything, he just walked around the building a few times and pulled Li Menglong away.
I searched for several shops one after another, but none of them were open anymore. Finally, I found a small rice cake shop owned by a middle-aged couple in their fifties.
Although the store is not big, it is quite clean and the decoration is warm. One wall is full of messages from diners.
"Auntie, do you still recognize me?" Li Shunkyu rushed to the female boss and asked nervously.
"It looks familiar, but I can't remember it!"
"How is it possible? I brought a group of people over every time, and you always hid a few fish cakes under my bowl!" As Li Soonkyu said, the boss's expression became more and more thoughtful.
"Can't you remember now?" Li Shunkyu puffed up his cheeks and lifted up his bangs.
"Are you a trainee from that celebrity company? It's been so many years since you've been here, and you didn't even mention coming back to check it out!" The boss lady obviously really recognized Lee Soon Kyu.
"Husband, come here and take a look. That little chubby girl has become so beautiful now!"
"I wasn't fat back then, and I look the same now as before!" Lee Soon Kyu said with a guilty conscience as he glanced at Li Menglong secretly.
Only then did the boss notice Li Menglong's presence, and after looking back and forth between the two of them, she said ambiguously like someone who had been through it: "Auntie, I understand, our little girl used to be beautiful too!"
Because it was already past dinner time, the couple made two super large fried rice cakes for Li Sunkyu and the others. The rice cake was no longer the main ingredient, and the boss asked for fish cakes and sausages as if they were free of charge. There it is.
Li Menglong ate rice cakes with his head down, echoing their chat from time to time. At the same time, a picture of Li Soonkyu's growth history was presented in front of him without any modification.
Being able to learn about someone's past is a really special experience, and it's a great way to get closer to each other, even if he and Lee Soon Kyu don't need to.
While listening, Li Menglong was also a little envious. He wanted to find such a person to talk to him and couldn't find him in the past. Although he was not demanding, sometimes in the dead of night, he also wondered if there would be someone somewhere. There are people in every corner who are missing him.
"Back then, you young people wanted to be stars and didn't even go to school. My child almost ran away from home just to join you!" The boss's wife recalled the past events there.
"As a result, that company was disbanded, and you kids under 20 knew nothing. At that time, your uncle even dragged me over to persuade you to go to school again, but he didn't find you in the end!"
Listening to the words of the landlady, Li Shunkyu felt warm in his heart. She must have been in bed by then, but she still thanked them solemnly.
"What are you doing now? Listen to me, don't think about being a star anymore, just live a down-to-earth life. This young man is not bad. He will be blessed just by looking at his appearance!" Holding Li Shungui's hand, the boss's wife said warned.
"Pfft..." Li Menglong almost spit out half a mouthful of rice cake. Didn't he just eat the remaining rice cake from half a plate of Li Shunkyu? You don’t have to bear such a big responsibility!
"What's wrong? Are you wronged by living with me?" Although Li Shungui's face was a little red, his attitude was still tough.
"How are you talking? You're a good person, but you can't be so disrespectful to your boyfriend outside!" The landlady said to her like she was lecturing her own child.
However, Li Soonkyu still liked this trick, and secretly glared at Li Menglong, but said nothing in the end. Lee Soon Kyu has never revealed his identity as Girls' Generation's Sunny. She felt that there was no need, let Lee Soon Kyu live here always be the trainee Lee Soon Kyu.
We packed a lot of rice cakes and argued with each other when paying. Fortunately, Li Menglong was very helpful and finally paid the money. Although we received a lot less, the cost was estimated to be enough.
He stuck his head out of the car window and kept waving his hands at the couple standing at the intersection behind him. It wasn't until the car turned a corner that Li Soonkyu reluctantly sat down.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit sad. Li Shunkyu sat there in silence. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Actually, I know that my father has never been willing to accept the company's bankruptcy. My sister was also Suger's agent at the time, and she was not willing to accept it either!"< br>
Li Menglong didn't say anything. It was obvious that there was some unknown inside story, but it was probably some shady means, otherwise they wouldn't have such great resentment, even after so many years.
"Let's start the SW again!" Li Shunkyu first said it in a whispering tone, but the more he spoke, the more certain he became, and the louder his voice became. Li Menglong had to park the car aside and let Li Shunkyu calm down first, but the fanatical Li Shunkyu was completely crazy. She felt that she had come up with a great idea.
"Ms. Li Soonkyu, although I don't know how big your SW was, it was a brokerage company, not just a fried chicken restaurant!" Li Menglong kept pouring cold water on her.
However, he felt as if he was adding fuel to the fire: "It doesn't matter, I have money! Just invest it all, and if it's gone, I'll make more money!"
Li Menglong scratched his head: "I don't know exactly how much a company costs! But at least it needs talents, right? It needs artists, right?"
"My dad comes back as the president! My sister comes back as the manager! Then we can just call back the former nuna! Besides, we still have you!" Li Soonkyu patted his shoulder optimistically.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me! But if your nuna don't say whether they want to come back or not, they should all have contracts!"
"That's right, that's okay, let's find a few trainees ourselves. Anyway, there are so many people in every company who can't debut, let's go poach them!"
Li Menglong really didn't want to talk anymore. At this time, Li Shunkyu couldn't communicate at all. After the excitement dissipated, he would join forces with Xiaoxian and the others to persuade him.
However, Li Menglong had a strong feeling that he might not be able to persuade him this time.
Li Soonkyu completely became an excited little lion, and Li Menglong honestly took on the role of driver and let her do the tossing on her own.
From SW's company site, all the way to S*M, Lee Soon Kyu's life in just 20 years seems to be summed up simply in these two places.
Li Shunkyu can still control her emotions. At least her expression is much calmer when she gets to **, because she knows that this is not a place where she can talk nonsense, and maybe there is a pair of ears somewhere.
The last time Li Menglong came to S*M, he walked through the main door and asked the lady at the front desk to take him in. This time, Li Soonkyu led the way and walked in directly from the back door. He didn't see anyone saying hello to Li Soonkyu along the way. They probably didn't know each other very well.
We went directly to Girls' Generation's practice room. As the well-deserved first sister of the company, although the background of each room is the same blue sky and white clouds that have not changed for thousands of years, their fixed practice room naturally has much better hardware.
Li Menglong didn't know this yet. He was just curious when he saw the girls practicing for the first time. After following Li Shungui and walking in, she was so quiet that Li Menglong naturally didn't dare to speak.
The two of them were hiding secretly to the side. Kim Taeyeon and the others had already noticed the two of them, but they were still practicing the complete dance to the music.
The three girls look almost the same as they usually do at home, except now there is an extra layer of sweat. As for the saying that working women are the most beautiful, Li Menglong feels that they are all lies.
How could girls covered in sweat, without makeup, and wearing sportswear look as beautiful as those on TV with makeup, hair, and clothes.
It's just that Li Menglong preferred their comfortable state. Soon Li Menglong looked away and began to look around the room. Generally speaking, it was just a practice room, and it didn't make Li Menglong feel amazing at all.
Lee Soon Kyu can also analyze their prospects from multiple aspects such as singing and dancing. Li Menglong listened to the rough demo without official lyrics and found it quite cheerful, so he stopped playing.
Putting the rice cakes on the floor aside, Li Menglong quickly found a few books in the corner and a cushion next to them. He walked over curiously and found that they were all coursework from Xuxian University.
Kim Taeyeon really couldn't help it. The singing and dancing of the three beautiful girls were not as good as those shabby books. Although their current image is not very good, although the songs are not perfect yet.
But none of this could be an excuse for Lee Mong-ryong to sit there and read a book. Just after the dance practice, before Lee Soon-gyu could say anything, Kim Taeyeon rushed towards Lee Mong-ryong angrily.
"Hey! Although my clothes are very clean, they are still worse than towels!" Li Menglong raised the book in his hand high while pushing Kim Taeyeon's head with one hand.
"Yeah, why don't you read a book while we are three charming beauties? Are you a man?" Kim Taeyeon slapped Li Menglong's hand away angrily, and looked at him taking a few steps back, making her even more angry. Too bad.
"It's wrong to say that. To be precise, I felt dizzy when I saw your dance, so I endured the pain and didn't dare to watch it in order not to go to the hospital!"
"You think we are ugly? Do you believe that our fans are against you!" Kim Taeyeon pointed a finger directly in front of Li Menglong.
"Did I just say these words? You have to be good at framing people!" Li Menglong simply put down the book and took the towel thrown by Xu Xian.
Then he wrapped Kim Taeyeon's finger in a towel and wiped it carefully, as if it were a precious work of art. Before Kim Taeyeon could blush, Li Menglong reached out his hand to cover the finger with satisfaction and shook it.
"You still think I'm dirty?" Kim Taeyeon said through gritted teeth.
Li Soonkyu had just been chatting with the boss and his wife, so he didn't eat much rice cake at all. Now he was sitting aside, eating with Xiaoxian and Pani, while watching the eight o'clock ethics drama.
To put it simply, the plot is that Lee Meng Yong said something casually, and Kim Taeyeon said you think I am ugly.
If Li Menglong did something casually, Kim Taeyeon would say you think I'm dirty.
Li Menglong put his hand on her shoulder, which was covered with sweat, and turned her around: "If you don't go over to eat, they will eat you up!"
Sure enough, Kim Taeyeon fell into the trap that has been effective against these girls for thousands of years, but she did it voluntarily: "Huh, I'll settle the score with you later."
After saying that, he pounced on the theatergoers and said, "Yeah, at least give me some leftover, I'll starve to death!"
