When she walked, Ji-eun jumped up and down like a middle school student, and laughed like a silver bell: "Oppa, skewers, I want to eat that skewers..."
As a reward for her excellent performance, Li Zhenyu promised to grant her a request.
She requested to visit Dongdaemun Night Market and eat everything from start to finish...
"Auntie, give me two skewers of this."
The chicken cartilage and scallion segments are skewered together and grilled. After being grilled, they are spread with hot sauce and taste very crunchy.
After finishing one and a half skewers, Li Zhenyu lowered his head and asked, "What else do you want?"
"That, fried intestines."
To stir-fry blood sausage on an iron plate, first fry the onions, scallions, and garlic cloves, then add shredded carrots and green vegetables, then add the blood sausage and squid tentacles, and finally add chili, sauce, and other seasonings.
A full plate for only three thousand won. Ji-eun leaned against the wall, and Li Zhenyu helped her block the view from the other side. She couldn't wait to take off her mask and opened her mouth wide to put the vegetables and blood sausage into her mouth.
"Ah, huh~huh~it's so hot, ah, Oppa~"
The soft voice ended with tears in Ji Eun's eyes due to the burns. She looked at him pitifully. Li Zhenyu couldn't help but pinch her face with her adorable look.
The plump and smooth apple cheeks feel moist and elastic when pinched, and Li Zhenyu is reluctant to let go.
"Oppa~~"
Ji-eun shook her body in anger and shame, and stomped her feet hard to express her dissatisfaction with him.
"Ah~ I see, I see."
Li Zhenyu smiled dotingly and pushed the plate full of food forward, "It won't taste good if it gets cold."
The two of them were happily sharing the food, taking turns to eat.
Suddenly, music exploded in his ears. The explosive singing scared Li Zhenyu so much that he shuddered. "Shit, the will-o'-the-wisp is carrying a speaker and blowing up the streets?"
When I looked back, I realized that it was the speakers at the night market stall in front that were playing music. The familiar music was Lee Jung Hyun's classic song.
Two shirtless young men wearing only aprons and with their hair done, looking like a boy band, were singing, dancing and swaying to the rhythm of the music while turning the charcoal-grilled octopus in their hands.
In front of the two people's stall, there were fans of internet celebrities holding their mobile phones, with the corners of their mouths raised foolishly and light flickering in their squinting eyes.
"Gudong."
The fat girl, who was taking up three people's space, was already swallowing her saliva.
Fortunately, this is Dongdaemun. If it were in a remote street corner or alley, it would be hard to say whether the "Squidward Boys" would be able to get up tomorrow.
"Oppa, they dance well!"
Ji-eun swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at the guy who was singing and dancing with grilled squid with some surprise.
"fine……"
For ordinary people, it is already pretty good.
But there are good ones like them everywhere in South Korea. Is the national debut just a joke? "It's too noisy here. Let's go forward and see if there's anything else to eat."
"What?"
Ji-eun obviously didn't hear what he said clearly, and was still thinking, 'Should I tell my manager and ask her to come and see...'
The atmosphere at Z Entertainment has always been good. Even when Girls' Generation and T-ara had a head-on clash, it was just a minor quarrel and not a big deal at all.
If it were in other companies, the head-on collision between the two girl groups would lead to a lot of dirty things happening behind the scenes, including tripping each other up, stabbing each other in the back, and secretly exposing the opponent's black material to the outside world.
As long as you don't get discovered by the company, you will win if you defeat your opponent.
The more you move up in the entertainment industry, the more you realize how fierce the competition is...
Z Entertainment is able to maintain its current harmony thanks to Lee Jin-woo's output and connections, and the resources to take care of everyone.
There is no fundamental conflict of interest involved. Each party has its own base, so naturally there will be no idea of fighting to the death.
But Ji-eun is the only one who is always thinking about discovering new talents for the company.
After all, more people in a company means more competition, and no one can guarantee how long they will be popular.
Pointing forward, Li Zhenyu led her past the Squid Band's booth and left, "Don't even think about it. They don't meet the trainee standards yet..."
The company has the idea of forming a boy band and has been recruiting new members for training.
As for when they can successfully form a group and debut, it all depends on Kim Seung-jae's ability and vision.
In fact, it is not too difficult for him to make a boy band popular.
After all, he has many ready-made hit songs, including "Sorry Sorry", which he adapted and gave to T-ara.
Even if he is really unlucky and his members have limited abilities, he can still find another way to be politically correct.
The sand sculpture condoms are popular in Europe and the United States because of this trick.
Although you can't escape the fate of being a failure, you can still make a lot of money.
However, Li Zhenyu was unwilling to do so. Compared with the huge amount of resources in his hands, doing so would be purely self-destructive.
If you are in the entertainment business, just do it well. If it gets involved in political factors, the more prosperous you are, the faster you will fade away.
There is no need for Z Entertainment to resort to these crooked means. It should just follow the right path with all its hit songs.
One day I really can't make it and I'll be a mess.
I also have someone to support me behind the scenes, so I can have enough food and clothing without having to worry about food and clothing by doing some business.
"Oppa, if no one listens to my singing one day, what should I do?"
Jieun blinked and glanced up pitifully, "She's not good at studying, and she doesn't have any other special skills except singing. No one will take care of her when the time comes. Will she starve to death?"
Li Zhenyu bent his middle finger inward, put his thumb on the side of his mouth and made a "huh" sound, then flicked it towards her head.
"ah!"
Ji-eun shrank her neck and covered her head, tears instantly filling her eyes.
"Hasn't Oppa seen your income report? You are already a wealthy woman now."
After he mercilessly exposed the truth, Jieun, who had tears in her eyes just now, smiled and stuck out her tongue shyly, "I'm just worried! Oppa, you will take care of me for the rest of my life, right?"
"Do you know what a lifetime is?" Li Zhenyu shook his head and asked jokingly, "A lifetime is so long, maybe one day you will change your mind!"
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible."
Ji Eun raised three fingers and said solemnly, "In this life, I will never betray the company or my brother. If I can't do it, wuwu..."
A shadow suddenly covered her vision, and a scorching hot breath rushed into her body through her pink lips.
The three raised fingers gradually softened under this wild and intense heat wave. Feeling a throbbing sensation she had never experienced before, Ji-eun, with a flushed face, quietly closed her eyes.
