Chapter 201 Senior’s Advice
When they walked into the room, the three of them turned a blind eye to the potential luxury of this house. Instead, they were surprised by the cleanliness of the room. It seemed that they did not have such high expectations for their daughter or sister.
It was as if they were at home. Father Li sat down on the rocking chair on the balcony without standing up. Mother Li and the second sister were wandering around, exclaiming in admiration every time they saw something.
Li Menglong finally saw clearly that Father Li was the one who made the decision in this family. Of course, Mother Li also had some rights, but that had to be done in private.
"You drink coffee?"
"Is there any tea?"
"Yes, I drink some occasionally. It's quite refreshing!" Li Menglong found some teacups, painted with unknown types of tea leaves. He didn't even know why he had this at home.
"Menglong is such a good person. He cleans this room and the kitchen so clean. It must be hard work!" Mother Li asked kindly, holding his hand.
"As a man, don't care what these parents are like!" Dad Li said directly and semi-reprimanded.
"Lee Young-joo! Are you going to quarrel when you come to Korea?"
"Hmph!" Even though Father Li was extremely domineering, he would give up once Mother Li got angry.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. What age are we in now? But you can't spoil them too much. Girls should still know how to cook!" After speaking, Mother Li went upstairs to check on her daughter's boudoir.
Li Menglong's excuse was that the second floor was the bedroom after all, and he never went up there, so he didn't know them well, so he kept it to himself. In my heart, I was thinking whether the chaotic room would drive the two of them crazy, especially with the contrast between Li Menglong and Li Menglong on the first floor.
In order to prevent the two of them from mistaking Xu Xian's room for Lee Soon Kyu's, he kindly reminded: "Lee Soon Kyu's room has a big Pikachu. Does the second sister know about Pikachu?"
"I'm still young!" A faint voice came from upstairs, and then Li Menglong sat aside to drink tea with Dad Li.
Li Menglong didn't know what kind of cleaning was done on the second floor, but when Li and his mother came down to drink water, they were already sweating profusely, and it took more than an hour before they finally took a shower.
"I said I came all the way from the United States just to clean up the house for the third child, right?" Li Yingui complained while lying on the sofa.
Although the old couple didn't care, Li Menglong still had to pay attention. He moved the ice cream drawer over in one breath and let her choose. In the end, she received a look that was like a kid.
Li Menglong really didn't understand whether he owed this family of three, but in short, he was so kind to him that he felt like one of his own, especially the second sister, who asked questions about everything.
After such a simple toss-up, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. It was getting dark outside. Although they had lunch very late, it was time to cook. As for letting them eat outside, Li Menglong had never thought about it. It's not right to do.
"You guys have some rest first. I'll make some random meals tonight. If I'm not good at cooking, please bear with me!"
"Oh, how can I let you do it? I wish my aunt would come!"
"It's okay, Auntie, you can rest!"
……
Half an hour later, Li Yinkyu was watching TV boredly, her voice was small and pitiful. She had just been scolded by her father. She glanced sideways at the kitchen. The old and the young were so harmonious that she suddenly felt that she might not be her biological child. of?
"So the beef needs to be marinated again? I fry it directly in the oil pan!" Li Menglong kept praising Mother Li's craftsmanship.
"It's not wrong. It's just that we are older, so we eat less greasy food!"
"I'll turn the pot. Auntie, just watch me from the side!" Li Menglong took over the pot with great discernment, and as for the splash of oil, let it come more violently.
"Who gave you Menglong's cooking skills? It's very good!"
"Really? I just figured it out when I was cooking. Just let Auntie like it!" He took a spoon and fed some soup to Mother Li's mouth. The other party gave a thumbs up with satisfaction, and then picked up some chili peppers. Added some more noodles.
Li Menglong has probably cooked with three types of people so far. Xu Xian is one type, eager to help, although he doesn't know much, but he can put the cook in a good mood; Li's mother is one type, rich in experience, Not only can we discuss with each other, but we can also point out Li Menglong's shortcomings, which is very heartwarming.
All the other girls are in the same category. As long as they enter the kitchen, they dare to eat anything, even take a bite of half-cooked pork. In short, they are too tired.
It's another simple four dishes and one soup, but it was mostly made by Li's mother under the guidance of him, so it's very different from his usual style. Today it's all stir-fried side dishes, and the soup is also a light seaweed and egg soup.
Li Menglong's usual cooking style is to stew large pieces of meat, fry large pieces of meat, and grill large pieces of meat. In short, he enjoys all kinds of meat.
However, the two elderly people loved these light flavors. Fortunately, Li Menglong was thoughtful and left a piece of steak for the second sister. This satisfied everyone's appetite. Of course, Li Menglong ignored his own appetite. , now he is nothing but a green onion!
Different from the girls sitting in front of the TV laughing and joking while eating, this time the four of them sat down at the kitchen table, eating quietly and warmly. Maybe it was because they were at home or not so curious about Li Menglong, so everyone Very quiet meal. Li Menglong didn't dislike this atmosphere, so he ate the pickles with his rice. As for the stir-fried bitter melon, sugared persimmons and the like, he just forgot about it for now.
At this time, Li Menglong's cell phone rang. He hurriedly stood up and went out to answer the phone, but was stopped by Li's mother. It was too strange!
Fortunately, the call was from Lee Soon Kyu, so he opened the broadcast directly: "The snacks in Thailand are very delicious, but it's a pity that you can't eat them, hahahaha..."
Li Menglong covered his head and almost buried his head under the table. At the dinner table, Li's mother and second sister burst out laughing. Only Li's father still managed to maintain the appearance of the head of the family, but his face was very red.
"Who's laughing? Are you still drinking?"
"No, I'm eating with Fatty and the others!" Li Menglong answered and felt that he couldn't let the other party talk nonsense: "You will be back tomorrow, right?"
"Well, do you want to pick me up at noon tomorrow?"
"It depends on the situation!" Li Menglong looked at the people on the other side: "Remember to bring back more souvenirs!"
"What for? Give it to you? Dreaming!" Li Shunkyu decisively refused.
"Don't regret it then!" Seeing that Li's mother and others still didn't speak, Li Menglong estimated that the other party would still give Li Shungui a surprise.
"I am Lee Soon Kyu? Lee Soon Kyu is fearless! What are you eating?"
After reporting the name of the dish, Li Soonkyu asked with some confusion: "When did your taste become similar to that of my family?"
"Didn't you tell me that your mother likes spicy fried pork at noon?" Li Menglong already had an ominous premonition through dinner and what he just said.
Sure enough, Lee Soon Kyu never disappoints him: "Of course I lied to you, my mother and the others all like light food!"
What a scam! This is Li Soonkyu's purest form of cheating on his father and mother. Li Menglong was already smiling apologetically at the other side.
When she heard no reply from the other party for a long time, she immediately became frightened: "But you lied to me first! I still know that food cannot be mailed across borders. Don't be angry, I will bring you a gift at worst, the most Thai-style!"
"Goodbye!" Li Menglong hung up the phone directly for fear of something unexpected happening, and then he could only giggle along with the smiles of the old couple opposite.
After the meal, the guests and hosts had a great time. After the meal, Li's mother took her second sister for a walk. As a grown man, Li's father certainly didn't like this kind of after-dinner exercise, so Li Menglong stayed with him.
But it was really tiring to talk to him. The key point was that although Li Menglong could talk about the topic, he was not interested in it. Later, I don’t know why Li Menglong said the question he was thinking about comics yesterday.
Lee Young-ju, a former tycoon who was the lead singer of a band, sold oil, and ran an entertainment company, has been retired for many years, but his full life experience and vicious vision are still alive.
"Okay, kid!" After reading the outlines and story summaries of the comics that Li Menglong brought, Li Yingzhu patted him on the shoulder very kindly.
"You're very discerning, let's put it this way! Although I don't know how many years it will take, but there will be a day when realistic works become popular, because people not only need fantasy, they also need recognition, and these works can arouse their Agreed!" Li's father's affirmation gave Li Menglong great confidence.
At the same time, I thought that if their Caotai company could be successful in the end, it seemed that Li Shunkyu would bring his old man to work, so Li Menglong was no longer polite. Although he did not mention the specific company name, he still gave some of his The plans were confirmed with the old man.
After a long conversation with him, Li Menglong finally gained a deeper understanding of this circle. At the same time, he also knew that even though he and Li Shunkyu had tried their best to treat their actions as trivial, they were still overestimating them. themselves.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are just like pebbles thrown into the entertainment industry. They will cause a ripple at most, and then quickly sink to the bottom.
What they lack now is not other things, but the most inexplicable connections and favors in the entertainment industry. Even though Lee Soon Kyu was a girl in Girls Generation, everyone would say something like "I admire you for a long time" when you meet her. Even if you look at Lee Mong Ryong, he seems to be able to hang out no matter where he is. Open and meet many friends!
Compared with the entertainment industry, these are just a drop in the bucket. Even if Li Menglong is familiar with one circle in a month, he will only be familiar with twelve programs in a year.
After signing the contract with EXID, from the songs included in the album, market research, dance, promotion, to the subsequent variety show contacts, song promotion, fan training, to the final commercial performance, there is no need for professional talents in any aspect.
At the end of the conversation, Li Menglong's heart dropped.
The old man and the young man are very chatty, one is a senior former entertainment tycoon, and the other is a newcomer who is just preparing to enter the industry. One is willing to talk, and the other is willing to listen.
They continued chatting until Mother Li came over to urge her, and then the two reluctantly parted ways: "If Menglong has any questions in the future, come and tell me, and if you plan to do something on your own, you can count on me!"< br>
"Thank you, uncle!" Li Menglong responded with a smile.
