Although he is on the run in the United States, Lee Soo Man is still living a comfortable life. He lives in Koreatown in Los Angeles.
Koreatown is located west of downtown Los Angeles and south of Hollywood. It is the most diverse community in Los Angeles. The community covers an area of about 3 miles, and the local residents are mainly Korean Americans and Latinos.
Koreatown (K-town) is also home to the largest nightclubs, 24-hour convenience stores and restaurants in the U.S. Le Xiyi looked at the posters of Asian beauties outside the nightclub and felt as if he was in Itaewon on the streets of Seoul.
Lee Soo Man noticed the look in Le Seok Yi's eyes and asked ambiguously, "There are also very attractive Korean beauties in this nightclub. When it opens in the evening, I will take you for a drink. You came to the United States for my business, so I must treat you well."
Le Xiyi's female subordinate was somewhat indignant. Lee Soo-man actually dared to directly provide paid companionship to the prosecutor. Aren't these wealthy people too lawless? She actually didn't understand why Le Xiyi came all the way to Koreatown to handle the case. After all, his immediate boss Lee Sang-dae didn't agree that Le Xiyi should intervene in Lee Soo-man's case.
When Le Xiyi said that he was ready to take over the Lee Soo-man case, Lee Sang-dae was noncommittal and only said, "I understand."
She actually knew Le Xiyi's past and felt that Le Xiyi was a prosecutor with a strong sense of justice. Even if it meant offending all her colleagues, she would bring the head of the National Police Agency's Intelligence Bureau to justice.
The investigation of Lee Eun-joo and Lee Chun-jae cases made Lek Seok-ik a star prosecutor in the Seoul prosecutorial system, and there were many fans who admired Lek Seok-ik in the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office. So when the female subordinate saw Lee Soo-man openly bribing Lek Seok-ik, she was very dissatisfied.
However, Le Xiyi had no intention of underestimating Lee Soo-man. Before leaving, he went to the Elysian Ski Resort and visited Song Yi.
Song Yi was on vacation at a resort with his friends at the time. Song Yi met with Le Xiyi alone and gave him advice, and Le Xiyi nodded repeatedly.
Before leaving, Song Yi seemed to remind Le Xiyi, "I remember that Prosecutor Le seems to be unmarried. If possible, you should consider your personal issues earlier. After all, in the eyes of the superiors, only men with a family can take on more important responsibilities."
Le Xiyi understood Song Yi's hint, and he couldn't suppress his inner excitement. Wasn't the reason why he followed Song Yi and served him wholeheartedly just for this moment?
"Chairman Song, you are right. In fact, my parents are also very worried about my personal problems, but it may be because of my personality that I am not favored by female colleagues in the workplace." Le Xiyi is now in his early forties and has never been married. In addition to being a workaholic, he usually does not care about his appearance and lives with his elderly parents. He is indeed not very popular among young Korean women.
"Really? That's their loss. Lejian is a potential stock. We have some nice long-term rental apartments under Xinya Construction. You might as well move out and buy a wedding house first. When you get married, you can enjoy the rent subsidy from Xinya Construction. Married couples living in our long-term rental apartments can enjoy the rent reduction policy. You and your wife can work together and buy the apartment after three to five years!" Song Yi said.
"Thank you, President Song. I will consider it. When I come back from Los Angeles, I will seize the time to go on blind dates and solve my personal problems." Le Xiyi said.
Le Xiyi actually has two crushes, one is Officer Park In-ya of the Gangnam District Police Station, and the other is Ms. Xin Minjing who runs a gallery in Seoul.
While handling the case of Lee Eun-joo, Le Seok-ik met Park In-ya from the Gangnam District Police Station. He had a good impression of the sweet-looking Park In-ya, and the two had met two or three times in a coffee shop. However, he felt that there was a nearly 20-year age difference between him and Park In-ya, and he wondered if Park In-ya had any plans to marry him.
Shin Min-kyung is from Gyeonggi Province. She majored in painting at Gyeonggi University as an undergraduate, and later obtained a master's and doctoral degree in art design from Sookmyung Women's University and Kookmin University. After graduation, Shin Min-kyung opened a gallery in Seoul.
The reason why Le Xiyi knew Xin Minjing was also related to Song Yi. When Li Enzhu's case was over, Le Xiyi wanted to visit Song Yi's home with gifts.
He knew that Song Yi was worth a lot of money and would definitely not appreciate the generous gift he had carefully prepared. Le Xiyi took a different approach and decided to buy a painting from the gallery and give it to Song Yi.
Based on Le Xiyi's description, Xin Minjing finally prepared a realistic oil painting for Le Xiyi. The oil painting was the work of Korean realist painter Kim Young-sung, and the painting was of Marilyn Monroe's white dress.
Marilyn Monroe, wearing a white flowing dress, stood on a New York City subway grate, facing the hot wind blowing from below. This scene is from the movie "The Seven Year Itch", which is also one of the most iconic moments in Hollywood film history.
Kim Young-sung used oil painting techniques to recreate Monroe's flying white dress stroke by stroke.
Shin Min-kyung introduced the background of the painting to Le Xiyi: "At the time, there were 100 male photographers and thousands of onlookers gathered at the filming site. Every time Monroe's skirt flew up, the audience would react loudly. Some people even climbed onto telephone booths or car roofs to watch the scene. Monroe was very excited about this and said, 'I want everyone to see my little skirt.'"
Le Xiyi really wanted to complain about this story, "It sounds like Monroe was an exhibitionist. No wonder she had an affair with Kennedy."
Shin Min-kyung continued, "If you don't look closely, you would definitely think that this painting, 'Monroe's Little White Dress', is a photograph, not a painting. This is where Kim Young-sung's painting skills are superb. Since the host you are visiting is not short of money, why not give him something new?"
After seeing the paintings that Xin Minjing had chosen for Le Xiyi, Song Yi praised his thoughtful gift. After a while, Xin Minjing knew Le Xiyi's identity, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Shin Min-kyung is a very ambitious woman, and she and Le Seok-ik are a perfect match. When she learned that Le Seok-ik's father Le Dian-in was a professor of economics at Yonsei University, she thought about applying for the position of distinguished professor at Yonsei University. However, her education and family background are relatively ordinary, so whether she can enter Yonsei University depends on whether Le Seok-ik is willing to lend a hand.
Shin Min-kyung has a delicate appearance, and her beauty is no less than that of ordinary Korean stars. Her small face is like a Barbie doll. Moreover, Shin Min-kyung is a woman who knows men's psychology very well. She not only whets the appetite of Le Xiyi, but also gives him some sweet treats from time to time. The appearance of Le Xiyi also reduces a lot of troubles for Shin Min-kyung's personal gallery.
Le Xiyi compared Park In-ah and Shin Min-kyung and felt that Shin Min-kyung was more suitable for her and had the hope of becoming his good wife. Park In-ah was a little young, and although she looked better than Shin Min-kyung, she was a little green and had a strong sense of justice, which made it easy for people to criticize old men and young wives.
Le Xiyi knew that his father Le Dianren's ability was not enough to realize Xin Minjing's dream of becoming a distinguished professor, and this matter would ultimately fall on Song Yi.
Song Yi can let Xin Minjing become a board member of an industry association to enrich her professional resume, and then it will not be a problem for Le Xiyi to recommend Xin Minjing to join Yonsei University through his father Le Dianren.
"If Xin Minjing agrees to marry me, I will help her get this done. If she doesn't agree, she won't have to count on me to help her in the future!" Le Xiyi made up his mind and decided not to be Xin Minjing's bootlicker anymore.
Le Xiyi knows that if he wants Song Yi to help Xin Minjing, he must handle the Li Xiuman case flawlessly. Only in this way can Le Xiyi marry Xin Minjing and then be reused in the new government, and achieve success in both love and career.
Le Xiyi has heard rumors that the new president Song Yuxi is going to appoint Ha Mi-ae as the Minister of Justice, the first female Minister of Justice in South Korean history. As the immediate boss of Le Xiyi's boss, Le Xiyi certainly wants to get close to Ha Mi-ae.
In addition to this, Le Xiyi also knew that Song Yi and Xia Meiai had a good relationship. It was said that Xia Meiai was able to serve as the Minister of Justice at the suggestion of Song Yi. Although Song Yi only served as Song Yuxi's economic advisor, he had a considerable influence on the personnel arrangements of the Blue House. No wonder others said that Song Yi was a shadow minister.
On January 24, New Asia Media Properties Group announced that they had increased their stake in SM Entertainment to over 5%. New Asia Media Properties Group holds over 6% of the shares and is the fourth largest shareholder in SM Entertainment.
SM Entertainment representative director Kim Young-min expressed his welcome to ShinAsia Media Properties Group's increase in SM Entertainment's shares. He will nominate ShinAsia Media Properties Group's representative Kim Hee-won as the new director of SM Entertainment on the SM Entertainment board of directors.
New Asia Media Properties Group's announcement of share increase and Kim Young-min's statement have become major positives for SM Entertainment. Some shareholders analyzed that SM Entertainment has now found a strong supporter, and Lee Soo-man's false capital increase case may usher in a turning point. On January 25, Lee Soo-man returned to China. Lee Soo-man, who had just got off the plane at Incheon Airport, was immediately picked up by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
Lee Soo Man did not accept the interview from the reporters. He looked solemn and said nothing. At this time, an MBC reporter asked sharply: "May I ask Lee Soo Man, is it because he could no longer hide in the United States that he had to return to Korea to surrender?"
Song Yi, who was on vacation at the Elysian Ski Resort, saw the MBC reporter interviewing Lee Soo Man in his hotel room and a smile appeared on his face.
Elysian Ski Resort is located in the suburbs of Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, and is very close to downtown Seoul. It only takes an hour to drive there, so you can make a round trip on the same day. Seoul residents can also take the subway and then transfer to a shuttle bus to reach the resort directly.
This resort is also a real estate project of Xinya Construction and has become a ski resort for ski enthusiasts in Seoul.
This ski resort is a valley-shaped Jiangcun ski resort, which is safer than other ski resorts. You can also enjoy the natural scenery of mountains and valleys while skiing. The ski resort is equipped with complete beginner, intermediate and advanced tracks, as well as a group practice field.
Ski enthusiasts in Seoul spontaneously posted photos of the Elysian Ski Resort on the inschool homepage, which also attracted many ski enthusiasts to check in. Kim Tae-hee's two best friends Lee Hyun-jin and Lee Ha-nui have both been there, but Kim Tae-hee herself can only come back after the Spring Festival due to filming "Dae Jang Geum".
Kim Tae-hee didn't come, but Chen Jae-chan and his wife and Song So-young all came, and the four of them agreed to play mahjong at the resort to pass the time.
Song Suying and Cui Shanji both just learned Chinese Mahjong and were very interested in it. After they learned it, they planned to teach it to Jin Xiyuan and Chen Fuzhen. Then Song Suying, Cui Shanji, Jin Xiyuan and Chen Fuzhen would be able to play together without Song Yi.
Chen Zaican played mahjong with Song Yi and others for two hours, then received a call and hurried back to Seoul.
"Song Yi, Shan Ji, Director Song, I'm sorry, there's something urgent at the company that I need to go back and deal with. You guys go play first, I'll come over later when I'm done with my work."
Song Suying knew that Chen Zaican might have deliberately created opportunities for the three of them, and she felt blushing and a little restless.
She was ready to join Cui Shanji in the angry scene with Song Yi, but who knew that Song Yi was actually watching the TV news in the room, leaving her and Cui Shanji aside.
Song Suying walked to Song Yi, hugged him from behind, and rested her chin on his shoulder. "Did you arrange for Lee Soo Man to return to China?"
Cui Shanji was lazily lying on the big bed in the room at this time, "Hey, hey, hey, the lady in front, you have a husband, please pay attention to the impact."
Song Suying turned around and said, "I am the only one who has a husband, but you don't. Your husband just left not long ago. Do you want to call him back? To cheer you and Song Yi up and help cheer you up?"
Cui Shanji crossed her legs on the bed, her nightgown lifted to her waist, her two white thighs completely exposed, and the beautiful scenery under the nightgown was faintly visible.
She suddenly acted like a female hooligan, "If you don't mind being treated as an audience by him, then I don't mind. Anyway, he likes to eavesdrop now. Last time I stayed overnight at Song Yi's house, he specifically told me not to forget to call him."
Song Suying was defeated at once, "I should have been the one who found an excuse to leave the resort and let you two stay to accompany Song Yi. You said that Song Yi went to so much trouble to build this ski resort just to make it convenient for him and Tae Hee to go skiing during their free time? Why do I feel like he built a very private palace for his own pleasure?"
Song Yi sat down after hearing Song Suying's complaints. Song Suying lay on the ground, resting her head on Song Yi's thighs, leaning against him like a little bird.
Song Yi tickled Song Suying's soles, "You only know how to slander me and ruin my reputation all day long. When I was dating Taehee, I loved skiing. Taehee was also a member of the Seoul National University Ski Club. The reason why she became good friends with Lee Hyunjin and Lee Ha-nui was because of this common hobby."
"The reason why I built this ski resort in Yilishan Jiangcun is to make it convenient for Taixi and I to ski. Otherwise, we have to fly to Japan every time we want to ski, which is so troublesome." Song Yi replied with a smile.
Cui Shanji also got up from the bed at this time and lay on Song Yi's other thigh. Cui Shanji and Song Suying put their heads together, and the three of them huddled together to chat.
"Don't listen to Song Yi's nonsense. This is only part of the reason. In addition to the ski resort, Song Yi is also planning to build a golf course next to the Elysian Ski Resort to entertain his friends in the political and business circles."
"There is a separate VIP channel at the resort that leads directly to the golf course. This golf course is a membership-based one and is not open to the public. It is very private. You may see those congressmen or ministers from Nanshan appearing on the golf course."
"Because the golf course is backed by the resort and the Elysian ski resort, it would be difficult to capture evidence of them coming to the golf course for recreation unless we send a helicopter to take pictures from the air. I guarantee that the Elysian golf course will become the preferred gathering place for Seoul officials." Choi Sun-hee lamented Song Yi's ambition to get involved in South Korean politics. He seemed to be confirming the rumors that he was the shadow minister of the Blue House.
"You said that as if I was going to bribe them. My golf course also needs to make a profit. They have to pay for their membership cards. The annual membership fee of 50 million won is indispensable to everyone!"
"Only customers holding Elysian Golf Course membership cards can stay in the resort's villa suites that are not open to the public." Song Yi said lazily.
"I heard that you bought a piece of land in Japan and planned to build a high-end resort to entertain wealthy people and celebrities from all over the world. Song Hye Kyo also invested in the Japanese resort. You are really generous to her." Cui Shanji said.
"Do you women like to exchange information? In this way, how can I have any secrets in your eyes?" Song Yi pretended to be dissatisfied.
"No, we want to learn from her. I heard that among all the actresses under New Asia, Song Hye Kyo is the best in bed and is the most favored by our Chairman Song. I want to learn from her." Cui Shanji touched the stubble on Song Yi's chin. The hard stubble felt very comfortable to the touch.
Song Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Please don't spread rumors. I like all the female artists in Shinya. I treat them all equally. I don't favor anyone over anyone. Besides, why do you need to ask Song Hye Kyo for advice? You are much better than her in martial arts."
While Song Yi, Song Suying and Choi Sun-hee were hanging out at the Elysian Resort, Lee Soo-man was sitting in the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, feeling restless and uneasy.
He originally thought that this trip back to China was just a formality. Lee Soo-man, who had reached a compromise with Le Seok-ik, only needed to admit part of the prosecution's charges and then be sentenced to one year's probation by the court.
Who knew that the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office actually wanted to take real action? Not only did they ask about the details of Lee Soo Man withdrawing 1.15 billion won from SM Entertainment's account, they also carefully inquired about how Lee Soo Man used the Like project to transfer SM Entertainment's profits in disguise.
SM Entertainment's profit in 2000 was only 2 billion won, but it paid Lee Soo Man 2.1 billion won in labor fees through the Like Project. In 2001, this part of the labor fee was 2.7 billion won, and in 2002, the labor fee was 3.2 billion won.
"Producer Lee, you took away most of SM Entertainment's profits through your personal company Like Planning, and used the money to buy a luxury house in S Apartment in Cheongdam-dong. It is because of your greed that SM Entertainment's annual financial reports don't look good, and its stock price has not improved. If the shareholders of SM Entertainment knew that you used your privileges as a major shareholder to infringe on their rights and interests, and took away the majority of the dividends and profits that originally belonged to them, do you think the angry small shareholders would want to kick you out of the board of directors of SM Entertainment?" asked the young prosecutor.
Lee Soo-man knew that he had been fooled. It turned out that Le Seok-ik just wanted to trick him back to his country and had no intention of letting him go.
He was very upset. He had clearly agreed to New Asia Media Real Estate Group to increase its stake in SM Entertainment and was willing to let Kim Hee-won join the board of directors. Why didn't Song Yi let him go? Could it be that Song Yi didn't just want a seat on the board of directors, but wanted to take away SM Entertainment? Lee Soo-man felt like he was falling into an icy cave.
"I want to see my lawyer." Lee Soo Man tried to make a final struggle, hoping that his lawyer could help him contact the big shots in the Blue House to change Song Yi's mind. If there is no interference from powerful people, New Asia Media Real Estate will definitely swallow up SM Entertainment.
年轻的检察官见李秀满还在负隅顽抗,“你当这是什么地方?美国大片看多了?想见律师,我就给你请过来?我实话告诉你,谁来也没用,你就算不交代,也会有其他人主动交代的。SM娱乐,Like企划我们都在查,SM娱乐的高管们都相信你这次不能顺利脱身,已经找到下家了,李制作,你在公司里的人缘似乎不怎么样啊!”
李秀满心里一沉,他知道这位检察官说的可能是实话。要是金英敏或者南昭英两个人中间有一个投靠了宋熠,那他就少不了一个职务侵占罪。
金英敏和南昭英现在都没有露面,也没有通过律师给他带话,其实已经说明了一部分问题。
李秀满一下子就泄气了,人一下子都苍老了很多,“麻烦帮我找一下乐锡弈检察官,我有重要事情向他汇报。”李秀满知道想从汉城中央地方检察厅走出去,必须要乐锡弈点头。
躺在大床上的宋熠被乐锡弈的电话给惊醒了,像八爪鱼一样趴在宋熠身上的崔善姬找到手机,递给了宋熠。
“宋会长,事情已经办好了。”乐锡弈态度恭恭敬敬。
“好,好,乐检办事果然神速。”宋熠十分满意。
“那我先放李秀满回去?”乐锡弈问。
“既然李制作都交代清问题了,就没必要为难他了,毕竟坦白从宽,抗拒从严嘛,我们总得给人家一个改过自新的机会嘛。”宋熠坐了起来。
“那行,我听您的。宋会长,我这里有件事想麻烦一下您。”乐锡弈态度更加恭敬。
“你说。”宋熠态度很和蔼。有功要赏,有过要罚,乐锡弈这件事办得这么漂亮,他自然要嘉奖一番。
“是这样的,我有个好朋友叫辛敏京,在汉城开一家画廊。她是艺术设计的博士,想进延世大学当大学讲师,不过资历有点不够,所以想找您帮帮忙。”乐锡弈说。
“辛敏京是吧?好的,我知道了,你等我消息。要是快的话,等明年春季开学,她就可以去延世大学教书了。”宋熠承诺,这只是小事一桩。
“谢谢宋会长,要是我和辛敏京的事情成了,到时候我请您喝我们的喜酒。”乐锡弈压抑不住自己的喜悦,准备下班后去找一下辛敏京,告诉她这个喜讯。
宋熠有些愕然,原来这个辛敏京是乐锡弈看中的对象,那他现在结婚了,以后的硅胶脸夫人怎么办? 2003年2月7日,新亚传媒地产集团发布公告,以973亿韩元的价格从李秀满手上买下27.8%的SM娱乐股份。
新亚传媒地产集团这些天一直在陆续增持SM娱乐的股份,持股比例达到了7.2%,再加上从李秀满手中买下的27.8%的股份。
新亚传媒地产集团持有的SM娱乐股份达到了36%,李秀满的持股比例变成了18%.新亚传媒地产集团成为SM娱乐的实际控制人,拥有一票否决权。
有好事人算过,SM娱乐此时的市值在2500亿韩元左右,比去年巅峰时3000亿韩元缩水了不少。
如果按照SM娱乐的当前市值计算,李秀满这卖出去的27.8%股份价值695亿韩元,新亚传媒地产集团相当于是溢价了40%来收购李秀满的股份,这个交易应该有其他条款没有对外披露。
后来SM娱乐向财经记者们披露了交易全部内容,这975亿韩元不仅仅是用来买李秀满的27.8%的SM娱乐股份,还一起买下了李秀满的个人公司Like企划。
宋熠相当于一次性支付了李秀满未来十五年的制作费,李秀满以后都不能通过Like企划这个平台来薅SM娱乐的羊毛了。
买下SM娱乐的新亚传媒地产集团很低调,宋熠似乎无意变动SM娱乐的管理层。
金英敏还是担任SM娱乐的代表理事,南昭英继续担任SM Japan的社长,李秀满还是继续出任SM娱乐的制作总监。
SM娱乐这家公司好像什么都没有变,不过好像又什么都变了。徐珠贤发现少女时代的队友们对她的态度变得更热情了,从郑秀妍到林允儿,再到李允熹、崔秀英、金孝渊,对她都是客气地不得了。
林允儿和徐珠贤属于同龄人,住的又不远,两人关系处的不错。
“珠贤呐,这个新亚传媒地产集团的宋会长,是不是上次和你妈妈一起来看望我们那个宋叔叔?你的宋叔叔现在要变成我们的大老板了!那我们以后要叫他宋会长吗?”林允儿好奇地八卦。
徐珠贤也有些迟疑了,“这个,应该不用吧?”徐珠贤也没想到宋熠会收购SM娱乐,宋熠哥哥从她的大哥哥,变成了她的老板,这个身份的变化也让年幼的徐珠贤有些不适应。
她在SM娱乐也听到一些传闻,说宋熠是为了徐珠贤才收购SM娱乐,她知道这个传闻很离谱。不过她还是想问一下妈妈,宋熠哥哥为什么要买下SM娱乐?
SM娱乐的新董事金熙媛在接受记者采访时,“新亚之所以要买下SM娱乐,也是为了补上公司业务短板,新亚和SM娱乐也会开展更深入的合作。SM娱乐旗下艺人会获得更多的影视剧出演机会,新亚的歌手李孝利、金钟国、白智英、成宥利也会和SM娱乐在音乐方面开展更多合作。”
记者们这才知道新亚居然签下了白智英,“白智英吗?她现在是准备复出吗?”
“白智英正在潜心准备她的新专辑,她的新专辑会和更多的优秀作曲老师合作,请大家期待一下。”金熙媛回答。
2月17日,汉城高等法院做出判决,法院鉴于李秀满认罪态度良好,主动回国自首,最后判处李秀满监禁一年,缓刑两年,并处罚金44亿5000万韩元。李秀满的贪污案正式告一段落。
憋屈的李秀满在S公寓的家里暗暗发誓,“如今形势比人强,我只能认栽。宋熠啊宋熠,我就不信你会一直顺下去。要是被我逮到机会了,你这次吃掉我的股份我都会让你双倍吐回来。”
宋熠根本不在意李秀满的想法,2月18日,他出席了韩国游戏产业协会的成立仪式。这个韩国游戏产业协会本身就是宋熠牵头成立的,韩国网络游戏公司纷纷响应。
新亚网络株式会社的宋熠,Nexon的金正宙,Actoz Soft的崔雄,Han Game的金凡秀,Wemade的朴关镐等韩国游戏行业各路大佬都出席了本次仪式。
宋熠成为韩国游戏产业协会的第一任会长,Nexon的金正宙和Han Game的金凡秀担任副会长。
这时台下的记者们并没有注意,汉城一家画廊的女社长辛敏京和新亚网络的研发组长陈馨予,Wemade公司的研发经理金惠珍一同当选了韩国游戏产业协会策划组的策划理事。
宋熠直到今天才见到乐锡弈心心念念的辛敏京,他一下子就乐了。这不就是乐锡弈后来的硅胶脸夫人吗?不过比后来经常见报的辛敏京看起来更年轻,身材也更好,前凸后翘,引来会场不少人的注意。
他之所以将辛敏京推进韩国游戏产业协会策划组的策划理事,就是为了丰富辛敏京的个人履历。有了这个资历,宋熠再推荐辛敏京到延世大学或者梨花女子大学当特聘教授都不是难事。
会议结束,辛敏京邀请宋熠和陈馨予一起去参观她的画廊。宋熠这才得知乐锡弈送的那副《梦露的白裙子》是出自辛敏京的指点,他们两个人还真的挺有缘,兜兜转转,还是凑到一起了。
“辛理事很有艺术品味,那幅画栩栩如生,我把它裱起来放在浴室,泡澡的时候看着梦露这样大美女,也是难得的享受。”宋熠笑着说。
陈馨予古怪地看了宋熠一眼,梦露的白裙子这副画将梦露性感身材展现地淋漓尽致,你在泡澡时看梦露,是不是在亵渎美人?她不愿意参合宋熠和辛敏京的私事,漫无目的地走到一旁,去欣赏画廊里的其他画作。
辛敏京见陈馨予走开了,微微一笑,“正所谓宝剑赠英雄,再好的画如果没有欣赏它的人,也是明珠蒙尘。只有宋会长这样的商界精英,才配拥有梦露这种等级的绝世美女。如果我买下这幅画,我也会和宋会长一样,将它挂在浴室里,一边泡澡,一边欣赏。”
Song Yi was slightly stunned. Wasn't it that Xin Minjing and Le Xiyi were already at the stage of discussing marriage, and both of them had started looking for wedding houses in Seoul. Xin Minjing's words alone didn't sound special, but combined with Song Yi's context, it was a bit teasing to Song Yi. He knew that Xin Minjing was not an easy woman to deal with, but he felt that Le Xiyi was beginning to have a green light on his head. Song Yi always felt that Le Xiyi was rebellious. He used Le Xiyi while being wary of Le Xiyi. If Xin Minjing really married Le Xiyi, Song Yi would develop Xin Minjing into his insider, and let her help keep an eye on Le Xiyi, so he wouldn't be afraid that Le Xiyi would do something weird in the future.
"I really like the work "Monroe's White Dress". I am also planning to buy a batch of oil paintings from Director Xin's gallery to decorate my house. I wonder if Director Xin has any good recommendations?" Song Yi asked.
It's comfortable to deal with smart people. Seeing that Song Yi understood the hint, Xin Minjing continued to introduce: "In addition to "Monroe's White Dress", our gallery also has a group of realistic body art oil paintings. Because they are not convenient for external exhibitions, they are put away. I will give them to President Song for selection later."
Song Yi nodded, "The charm of body art oil paintings lies in their ability to express the painter's emotions and feelings very well, allowing the audience to be infected by the paintings invisibly. Every change of light and shadow, every line and curve in the painting is carefully conceived by the painter, and the details of the painting are very complete. Each body art oil painting is an independent series of artistic expression. Although they look similar, different painters have different artistic styles."
Xin Minjing couldn't help but sigh, "President Song is indeed very accomplished in art. People like Xi Yi can only praise the good paintings but can't explain why. President Song's words touched my heart."
"To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. Le Jian's honesty is also a virtue. Some people like to brag and show off in front of beautiful women. In fact, they are just like peacocks spreading their tails, which makes people disgusted. Sincerity is always the killer move." Song Yi didn't want to ruin the fate of Le Xiyi and Xin Minjing, so he hurriedly spoke well of Le Xiyi.
Xin Minjing looked at Song Yi with resentment. She really looked down on Le Xiyi, who didn't understand romance. Although her parents divorced very early, her mother still spent a lot of money on her and let her go the art route, just to marry into a wealthy family one day. Le Xiyi came from a good family. Her father was a well-known professor, and she was a prosecutor. Except for being a little old and poor, she didn't have any other shortcomings.
She originally wanted to use Le Xiyi as a springboard to get to know more wealthy and powerful people in the Korean upper class, but who knew that Song Yi was so unromantic that he directly dispelled her idea and persuaded her to marry Le Xiyi.
Chen Xinyu bought another painting by Kim Young-sung from Xin Minjing's gallery, which was a painting of a small goldfish in a water cup. After visiting, Chen Xinyu left early, leaving Song Yi and Xin Minjing in the gallery.
The reason why she left first was that she couldn't stand the way Xin Minjing was hanging around Song Yi. "Hmph, others already have girlfriends, but you still rush to stick to them. How shameless." Chen Xinyu scolded Xin Minjing.
Shin Min Kyung yawned, and Song Yi asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold? Seoul is still quite cold in February. Director Shin should wear more clothes."
"Thank you, President Song. I'm fine. I'm used to it. Since there aren't many people here, let's go take a look at the nude paintings first?" Xin Minjing was very satisfied with selling a painting today. She knew that Chen Xinyu bought the painting for Song Yi's sake, but she didn't care.
Xin Minjing locked the front door of the gallery and stopped opening to the public. "It's getting late now, and there aren't many customers. We can just open the back door and go to the parking lot later."
Song Yi didn't expect Xin Minjing to be so bold, and he mourned for Le Xiyi in his heart. He sent a text message to his bodyguard. He knew Xin Minjing didn't have the courage to harm him, but he had to be on guard against others.
Many of the so-called nude oil paintings are nude women. Song Yi and Xin Minjing admired some of her nude oil paintings, many of which are indeed worth collecting.
Shin Min-kyung obviously wanted to show off her skills in front of Song Yi today, and then let Song Yi be her model. She planned to draw a sketch of Song Yi and give it to Song Yi as a gift to thank Song Yi for recommending her to join the planning group of the Korea Game Industry Association.
Song Yi watched Xin Minjing's movements and became interested. Finally, Xin Minjing taught Song Yi painting skills. As a result, Song Yi asked Xin Minjing to be his model and he painted a nude art painting for Xin Minjing.
Although he is not as good as a professional painter, Song Yi is still satisfied. After all, he has captured some of Xin Minjing's charm. "The ancients said that beauty is like painting and painting is like beauty. It is true."
After locking the door, Song Yi stayed in Xin Minjing's gallery for nearly two hours. Finally, he left the gallery satisfied with the nude art paintings selected by Xin Minjing.
Song Yi also hired Xin Minjing as Song Miao's painting teacher to teach Song Miao some painting techniques. Song Miao is still young, and whether it is piano or painting, he has to start from elementary school.
Le Xiyi was very happy when he learned that Xin Minjing became the painting teacher of Song Yi's niece. He felt that the relationship between him and Song Yi had become closer.
Of course, Xin Minjing didn't have the heart to expose Xi Yi's dream. She was willing to become Song Miao's painting teacher just to lie in Song Yi's bathtub and admire the painting "Monroe's White Dress" on the wall. Not only that, Xin Minjing also cosplayed this look of Monroe in Song Yi's bathroom, but Song Yi was the only audience.
Xin Minjing also agreed to Le Xiyi's proposal, and the two registered, got the marriage certificate, and planned to hold the wedding in the middle of the year. Le Dianren felt that Xin Minjing, as a daughter-in-law, was not someone who could live a family life, but he couldn't resist Le Xiyi's love for her, and Xin Minjing was really a good person, so he finally agreed to their marriage.
In order to avoid suspicion, Song Yi arranged Xin Minjing to be a distinguished professor at Ewha Womans University. Le Xiyi felt that Song Yi was doing this for Xin Minjing's sake, so he thanked him again and again. Song Yi was a little embarrassed, after all, Xin Minjing had thanked him yesterday, and Song Yi also helped Xin Minjing pick out her wedding dress for her wedding. I couldn't sleep at night, so I got up in the middle of the night to update. I made up for the sleep during the day, no more, see you tomorrow.
