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 US 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'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.
Seeing that Lee Soo Man was still resisting, the young prosecutor said, "What do you think this place is? Have you watched too many American blockbusters? You want to see a lawyer? I'll invite one for you. I'm telling you the truth. It's useless for anyone to come. Even if you don't confess, someone else will. We are investigating SM Entertainment and Like Planning. The executives of SM Entertainment believe that you can't get away with it this time and have already found a new employer. Lee Producer, you don't seem to be very popular in the company!"
Li Xiuman's heart sank. He knew that the prosecutor might be telling the truth. If one of Jin Yingmin or Nan Zhaoying defected to Song Yi, he would be charged with embezzlement.
The fact that Kim Young-min and Nam So-young have not shown up yet, nor have they sent any messages to him through their lawyers, actually explains part of the problem.
Lee Soo-man was deflated all of a sudden and looked much older. "Please help me find Prosecutor Le Seok-ik. I have important matters to report to him." Lee Soo-man knew that if he wanted to leave the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, he had to get Le Seok-ik's nod.
Song Yi, who was lying on the big bed, was awakened by Le Xiyi's call. Cui Shanji, who was lying on Song Yi like an octopus, found the phone and handed it to Song Yi.
"President Song, it has been done." Le Xiyi said respectfully.
"Good, good, Lejian is indeed very fast in his work." Song Yi was very satisfied.
"Then should I let Lee Soo Man go back first?" asked Le Xiyi.
"Since Li Zuozao has confessed everything, there is no need to make things difficult for him. After all, those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be treated severely. We must give people a chance to reform." Song Yi sat up.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. President Song, I'd like to trouble you with something." Le Xiyi became more respectful.
"You say." Song Yi's attitude was very kind. Merits should be rewarded and faults should be punished. Le Xiyi did such a great job on this matter, so he naturally had to reward him.
"It's like this, I have a good friend named Shin Min-kyung, who runs a gallery in Seoul. She has a PhD in art design and wants to become a lecturer at Yonsei University, but her qualifications are not enough, so she would like to ask you for help," said Le Xiyi.
"Shin Min-kyung, right? Okay, I got it, you wait for my news. If it's soon, she can go to Yonsei University to teach when the spring semester starts next year." Song Yi promised that this was just a small matter.
"Thank you, President Song. If Xin Minjing and I work out, I will invite you to our wedding." Le Xiyi couldn't suppress his joy and prepared to find Xin Minjing after get off work to tell her the good news.
Song Yi was somewhat stunned. It turned out that this Xin Minjing was the object of Le Xiyi's fancy. Now that he was married, what would happen to his future wife with a silicone face? On February 7, 2003, Xinya Media Real Estate Group announced that it would buy 27.8% of SM Entertainment shares from Lee Soo-man for 97.3 billion won.
New Asia Media Properties Group has been increasing its stake in SM Entertainment in recent days, and its shareholding ratio has reached 7.2%, plus the 27.8% stake purchased from Lee Soo Man.
ShinAsia Media Properties Group now holds 36% of SM Entertainment's shares, while Lee Soo-man's shareholding ratio has become 18%. ShinAsia Media Properties Group has become the actual controller of SM Entertainment and has a veto power.
Someone has calculated that SM Entertainment's current market value is around 250 billion won, which is a significant decrease from its peak of 300 billion won last year.
If calculated based on SM Entertainment's current market value, the 27.8% stake sold by Lee Soo-man is worth 69.5 billion won. Shin-Asia Media Properties Group paid a 40% premium to acquire Lee Soo-man's shares. This transaction should have other terms that have not been disclosed to the public.
Later, SM Entertainment disclosed the full details of the transaction to financial reporters. The 97.5 billion won was not only used to buy Lee Soo-man's 27.8% of SM Entertainment shares, but also to buy Lee Soo-man's personal company Like Planning.
Song Yi paid the production fee for Lee Soo Man for the next fifteen years in one lump sum. Lee Soo Man will no longer be able to take advantage of SM Entertainment through the Like Project platform.
New Asia Media Properties Group, which bought SM Entertainment, is very low-key, and Song Yi seems to have no intention of changing the management of SM Entertainment.
Kim Young-min will continue to serve as the representative director of SM Entertainment, Nam So-young will continue to serve as the president of SM Japan, and Lee Soo-man will continue to serve as the production director of SM Entertainment.
SM Entertainment seems to have not changed at all, but it also seems to have changed everything. Seo Ju-hyun found that her teammates from Girls' Generation became more enthusiastic towards her, from Jessica Jung to Yoona Lim, to Lee Yoon-hee, Choi Soo-young, and Kim Hyo-yeon, all of them were extremely polite to her.
Yoona and Seo Ju-hyun are of the same age and live not far from each other, so they have a good relationship.
"Joohyun, is this Chairman Song from the New Asia Media Properties Group the same Uncle Song who came to visit us with your mother last time? Your Uncle Song is going to be our big boss now! So should we call him Chairman Song from now on?" Lin Yuna gossiped curiously.
Seo Ju-hyun was also a little hesitant, "This, shouldn't be necessary, right?" Seo Ju-hyun didn't expect Song Yi to acquire SM Entertainment. Brother Song Yi went from being her older brother to her boss. This change in identity also made the young Seo Ju-hyun a little uncomfortable.
She also heard some rumors in SM Entertainment, saying that Song Yi bought SM Entertainment for Seo Joo Hyun. She knew that this rumor was outrageous. But she still wanted to ask her mother, why did Brother Song Yi buy SM Entertainment?
SM Entertainment's new director Kim Hee-won said in an interview with reporters, "The reason why Shinya wants to buy SM Entertainment is to make up for the company's business shortcomings. Shinya and SM Entertainment will also carry out deeper cooperation. Artists under SM Entertainment will get more opportunities to appear in film and television dramas. Shinya's singers Lee Hyori, Kim Jong-kook, Baek Ji-young, and Sung Yuri will also cooperate more with SM Entertainment in music."
The reporters then realized that Shinya had actually signed Baek Ji-young, "Baek Ji-young? Is she preparing for a comeback now?"
"Baek Ji-young is concentrating on preparing her new album. She will collaborate with more outstanding composition teachers for her new album. Please look forward to it." Kim Hee-won replied.
On February 17, the Seoul High Court made a ruling. In view of Lee Soo-man's good attitude in admitting his guilt and his initiative to return to Korea to surrender, the court finally sentenced Lee Soo-man to one year in prison, suspended for two years, and fined him 4.45 billion won. Lee Soo-man's corruption case officially came to an end.
The frustrated Lee Soo Man secretly swore in his home at S Apartment, "Now the situation is stronger than me, I can only admit defeat. Song Yi, Song Yi, I don't believe you will always be so. If I get the chance, I will make you spit back double the shares you took from me this time."
Song Yi didn't care about Lee Soo Man's idea at all. On February 18, he attended the founding ceremony of the Korean Game Industry Association. The Korean Game Industry Association was founded by Song Yi, and Korean online game companies responded one after another.
Song Yi from Shin-A Network Co., Ltd., Kim Jung-joo from Nexon, Choi Woong from Actoz Soft, Kim Beom-soo from Han Game, Park Kwan-ho from Wemade and other big names in the Korean gaming industry attended the ceremony.
Song Yi became the first president of the Korea Game Industry Association, with Nexon's Kim Jong-joo and Han Game's Kim Beom-soo serving as vice presidents.
At this time, the reporters in the audience did not notice that Shin Min-kyung, the female president of a gallery in Seoul, Chen Xinyu, the R&D team leader of Xinya Network, and Kim Hye-jin, the R&D manager of Wemade, were jointly elected as planning directors of the planning group of the Korea Game Industry Association.
Song Yi had not seen Xin Minjing, whom Le Xiyi had been thinking about, until today. He was immediately happy. Wasn't this Le Xiyi's later wife with a silicone face? But she looked younger than Xin Minjing, who was often in the newspapers later, and had a better figure, with a protruding front and a curved back, which attracted the attention of many people at the venue.
The reason why he promoted Xin Minjing to the planning director of the planning group of the Korean Game Industry Association was to enrich Xin Minjing's personal resume. With this qualification, it would not be difficult for Song Yi to recommend Xin Minjing to Yonsei University or Ewha Womans University as a special professor.
After the meeting, Xin Minjing invited Song Yi and Chen Xinyu to visit her gallery. Song Yi then learned that the painting "Monroe's White Dress" sent by Le Xiyi was inspired by Xin Minjing. The two of them were really destined to be together.
"Director Xin has a good taste in art. The painting is lifelike. I framed it and placed it in the bathroom. It is a rare enjoyment to look at a beauty like Monroe while taking a bath." Song Yi said with a smile.
Chen Xinyu looked at Song Yi strangely. The painting of Monroe's white dress showed Monroe's sexy figure to the fullest. Are you blaspheming the beauty by looking at Monroe while taking a bath? She didn't want to get involved in Song Yi and Xin Minjing's private affairs, so she walked aside aimlessly to appreciate other paintings in the gallery.
Seeing Chen Xinyu walk away, Xin Minjing smiled slightly, "As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero, and no matter how good a painting is, it is just a pearl covered in dust if there is no one to appreciate it. Only a business elite like President Song is worthy of a peerless beauty like Monroe. If I buy this painting, I will do the same as President Song and hang it in the bathroom to appreciate it while taking a bath."
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. 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 invisibly by the paintings. 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 Womens University. Le Xiyi felt that Song Yi was doing this for Xin Minjing's sake, so he thanked him again and again. I made up for the sleep during the day, no more, see you tomorrow.
