Chapter 156: Ko Hyun-jung and Son Ye-jin join!



Song Yi looked at the sleeping Kim Tae Hee, feeling somewhat guilty. When he got into the summer quilt, Kim Tae Hee had already sensed it, opened her eyes, and asked him in a sweet and innocent voice, "OPPA, why did you come back so late today?"

Song Yi asked Jin Taixi, "Have you waited too long? Didn't I send you a message? I told you to go to sleep first. If you can't sleep, let Xiyuan come to accompany you."

Kim Tae Hee childishly shook her head, "I don't want to, I'm used to OPPA hugging me when I sleep, and my sister is not honest when she sleeps, she likes to bully me."

Song Yi's face was full of tenderness, and he pecked Tai Xi's lips gently, "She dares! If Xi Yuan bullies you, I will bully you back."

Kim Tae Hee shook her head, "No, sister is just joking with me. Oppa seems very happy tonight? Do you want me to get some beer and go to the yard to get some fresh air?"

Song Yi found that he had indeed ignored his girlfriend's feelings. The excellent Kim Tae-hee had always been careful to take care of his feelings in life, but he repeatedly challenged his girlfriend's patience.

In his previous life, Song Yi was a playboy who never stopped for a woman. When his girlfriend wanted to get married and tried to force him to get married, the relationship ended and he started looking for the next lover. He was a complete non-marriageist.

Song Yi has many ties in this life. He doesn't want children, but somehow he has a child with Chen Fuzhen.

After Yuanzhong was born, he did not feel ecstatic, but he also included Chen Fuzhen and her son in the beneficiary list of Song Yi's family trust fund. If Song Yi died unexpectedly one day, Chen Fuzhen and her son could also inherit their share of the estate from the family trust.

After tonight, excluding 30% of Penguin shares and 6% of NetEase shares, Song Yi's company shares plus personal assets will be almost more than 2 billion US dollars, making him the richest young person born after 1975 in the world. Song Yi now really wants to spend his life with Kim Tae-hee, and the two of them want to have a child to inherit Song Yi's career.

"After the World Cup is over, we will take Miaomiao to the United States for a trip. We will then register secretly in Las Vegas. After "Dae Jang Geum" is released next year, I will hold a grand wedding of the century for you and invite celebrities from China and South Korea to witness our happiness, okay?" Song Yi asked his girlfriend while sitting next to Kim Tae-hee.

Kim Tae Hee was a little sleepy at first, but after she heard Song Yi's words clearly, she instantly became alert and sat up, "OPPA, are you proposing to me?"

"I have never really believed in things like love and fate, because these are created by emotional people and have no meaning. But now I have decided to believe in them, because I have met you who really makes my heart beat. So beautiful, confident and outstanding Miss Kim Tae-hee, will you marry me?" Song Yi looked at Kim Tae-hee with eyes full of doting.

Kim Tae Hee's eyes were full of joy. Kim Hee Won's face suddenly appeared in her mind. She complained in a coquettish way, "Oppa, how can a man propose to his girlfriend in bed late at night? And Oppa hasn't prepared a ring yet! Cake and flowers are not necessary, but a ring is definitely required."

Song Yi took out a ring box like a magician, and inside it was a pink diamond ring. This 3.29-carat pink diamond was set in a ring made of 18K rose gold and platinum. The inside of the ring was engraved with three English letters THS, which actually stands for Tae Hee Song, which is actually the abbreviation of Song Tae Hee. According to American marriage customs, Kim Tae Hee would take her husband's surname after marriage.

No woman can resist the charm of this pink diamond ring, and Kim Tae-hee is no exception. She quickly stretched out her finger and motioned Song Yi to help her put on the ring.

After she put on the ring, she carefully looked at the ring that belonged to her, "OPPA, with such a big pink diamond, this ring must be very valuable, right?"

Song Yi didn't care about the price. "I bought this pink diamond at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong Island, and then asked a Tiffany jewelry designer to help design this wedding ring. The weight of the pink diamond is 3.29 carats, which symbolizes your birthday. The THS on the inside of the ring is your personal logo."

Kim Tae Hee carefully looked at her wedding ring under the bedside lamp, and she felt very happy. Kim Tae Hee took the initiative to kiss Song Yi, "Thank you, OPPA, I really like this gift, but it is too expensive, I usually don't want to wear it out."

Koreans, like Chinese people, also believe in not showing off their wealth. Kim Tae-hee would never wear this multi-million dollar diamond ring to show off her wealth. If it weren't for some celebrity gatherings, she wouldn't be willing to wear the pink diamond to show off.

Kim Tae Hee has already thought about it. When her personal art gallery is completed, she will wear this pink diamond in public. She wants to let everyone know how much Song Yi favors her.

She reluctantly took off the ring and put it in the bedroom safe along with the ring box. "OPPA, when we go to Las Vegas to register, I'll wear the ring and go with you to get the marriage certificate."

"If possible, I would like to invite Lee Hyun-jin and Lee Ha-nui to go to the United States together, so that my two best friends can witness my little happiness. When we have the wedding next year, Hyun-jin and Ha-nui will be my bridesmaids." Kim Tae-hee asked for her boyfriend's opinion.

"Sure, it's easier to deal with Honey because she was on summer vacation at that time. But Hyun-jin is now a popular news anchor at KBS, so it's not easy for her to make time for him." Song Yi said.

Kim Tae-hee is now looking forward to the World Cup ending soon so that she can travel to the United States with her boyfriend Song Yi to get married. She and Song Yi are already inseparable, and after registering, she will give herself to Song Yi completely.

Song Yi also plans to buy some properties in Los Angeles and New York as personal financial investment. Before the subprime mortgage crisis, the properties in the wealthy areas of the United States still had enough room for appreciation.

On June 16, JoongAng Ilbo, Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo all reported the quarter-final match between South Korea and Italy on their front pages.

The contents of the reports are similar, "The tenacious South Korean team defeated Italy 2-1 and advanced into the World Cup quarterfinals", "South Korea became the light of Asia, the first Asian team to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup", and "Ahn Jung-hwan completed his redemption, scoring a header to defeat Italy and help South Korea advance to the quarterfinals."

Almost all mainstream newspapers in South Korea were praising the tenacity and fighting spirit of the Koreans, but no media outlet questioned the referees' decisions.

While Koreans were cheering, the whole world except Korea was stunned by this bizarre game.

The Associated Press, Reuters and AFP revealed that FIFA informed referee Moreno to end his World Cup journey after the game and immediately accept FIFA's investigation. However, South Korea's three major TV stations and three major newspapers pretended not to have seen this news and deliberately drowned it in the ocean of news.

When the whole world believed that the South Korean team advanced to the quarterfinals in an extremely despicable way, only one country believed that this was a reflection of South Korea's strength, and that was South Korea itself.

Some curious people interviewed the Spanish coach Camacho and asked him what he thought of the quarter-final opponent South Korea. Camacho said very tactfully, "Compared to the South Korean team, he would rather face the star-studded Italian team." Maldini, Vieri and Montella bid farewell to this World Cup in an extremely tragic way. This was also their last World Cup as members of the Italian national team.

When Koreans saw Camacho's interview, they were excited and vowed to teach the Spanish team a painful lesson, to teach the arrogant Spaniards a lesson and let them know the "great" sportsmanship of the Republic of Korea.

The quarter-final between South Korea and Spain is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Seoul time on June 22.

Song Yi also asked Kim Hyung-soo about his opinion on the quarter-final match between South Korea and Italy. The young Kim Hyung-soo certainly noticed the biased refereeing of Moreno. He had not yet learned the thick skin of other adult Koreans. His answer was more neutral, "As the host country, luck is on the side of our South Korean team."

The top eight teams in the World Cup quarterfinals have all been announced: Germany, England, Senegal, Spain, the United States, Brazil, Turkey and South Korea.

In the quarter-finals, Germany will play against the United States, England will play against Brazil, Spain will play against South Korea, and Senegal will play against Türkiye.

Just when all Koreans were looking forward to the quarter-final match between South Korea and Spain, a media website called Dispatch (D agency) suddenly broke the news of two divorce cases in the Samsung family.

Samsung Group's eldest princess Chen Boo-jin and Yu Jae-sik have agreed to divorce. The custody and support of their only son belong to Chen Boo-jin, while Yu Jae-sik gave up custody and visitation rights and received a settlement of 12 billion won (about 72 million yuan).

Shinsegae Group Vice Chairman Zhou Yongzhen and his wife Gao Xianzhen are also preparing for divorce. Zhou Yongzhen asked Gao Xianzhen to give up the custody and visitation rights of their son and daughter, and is ready to pay Gao Xianzhen 1.5 billion won as a breakup fee.

After Dispatch exposed the two divorce cases, the Samsung family was furious. Samsung Chairman Chen Jianxi and Shinsegae Group Chairman Chen Mingxi said they would sue D agency, saying that the website violated the privacy rights of the Samsung family.

This was also D agency's first appearance in front of the Korean public, leaving a deep impression on Korean netizens.

However, D agency did not give in. Instead, it published a second report on its website with the title "The Domineering Samsung Family."

"Vice Chairman Zhou Rongzhen's personal net worth is 800 billion won, but he was only willing to give Gao Xianzhen a mere 1.5 billion won when divorcing. If Gao Xianzhen had not chosen to quit the entertainment industry and continued her brilliant entertainment career, she would definitely be living a better life than she is now, considering her popularity and development trend at the time."

"As a mother, giving up custody of her child is extremely painful, and now even the right to visit her child is being taken away. Could it be that the Samsung family members are so overbearing that they will automatically give up the right to visit their child regardless of who is right or wrong? Is this the fine tradition of the Samsung family?"

Although two divorce cases of the Samsung family were exposed, D agency only briefly mentioned Chen Fuzhen's divorce case and focused on the divorce case of Gao Xianzhen and Zhou Rongzhen.

D agency used words to describe Gao Xianzhen's unhappy married life. Her mother-in-law Chen Mingxi looked down on her daughter-in-law who was a celebrity and bullied her in every way.

The reason why Gao Hyun-jung and Zhou Yongzhen have now reached the point of divorce is because a representative of an entertainment company introduced a young actress to Zhou Yongzhen, and the two planned to further their relationship.

1.5 billion won breakup fee, forced Gao Hyun-jung to give up custody and visitation rights, some actresses tried to interfere in the marriage life of Zhou Yongzhen and Gao Hyun-jung. These rumors have begun to affect the reputation of Shinsegae Department Store. The Korean Women's Group Agreement spoke out for Gao Hyun-jung, believing that it was inappropriate for Zhou Yongzhen's family to deprive Gao Hyun-jung of visitation rights to her children, which greatly infringed Gao Hyun-jung's women's rights.

If the court rules that Gao Hyun-jung automatically loses visitation rights to her children, the Korean Women's Association will support Gao Hyun-jung.

Things have developed to this point, and Zhou Rongzhen and Chen Mingxi can no longer decide. Chen Mingxi and Zhou Rongzhen originally planned to sue D agency and shut it down.

As a result, after they inquired, they found out that the behind-the-scenes shareholder of D Company was from Wall Street, and after numerous investigations, the largest shareholder was BlueSea Capital. Even if they filed a lawsuit, Zhou Rongzhen might not be able to get the upper hand.

Chen Zairong inexplicably thought of Song Yi, who met Gao Xianzhen at Chen Zaican's house. Could Song Yi be the shareholder behind D Company? However, the strength of Blue Ocean Capital Fund is obviously much stronger than that of New Asia Capital Fund. The scale of funds managed by Blue Ocean Capital Fund is about 10 billion US dollars. If Blue Ocean Capital is placed in South Korea, it will definitely be the largest venture capital fund.

If Blue Ocean Capital Fund holds a large stake in Samsung Electronics, it could even challenge Chen Jianxi's family's control over Samsung Electronics. Song Yi cannot be that powerful.

Because some Korean female consumers began to boycott Shinsegae Department Store and Shinsegae Duty Free Shop, Zhou Rongzhen had to apologize to the public: "Ko Hyun-jung and I have indeed reached the point where we have to divorce, but the young actress rumored on the Internet did not interfere with our marriage life. Even if I remarry, I will never consider actresses in the entertainment industry again. I did not force Gao Hyun-jung to give up custody and visitation rights for the children. Although we no longer live together as husband and wife, we will take care of and raise our children together as relatives in the future." Zhou Rongzhen stated at the press conference.

Barunson Entertainment representative director Kim Min-sook was so angry after reading Zhou Yongjin's speech. She thought Zhou Yongjin might abandon her, but she didn't expect Zhou Yongjin to sell her out completely.

Since Zhou Rongzhen said at the press conference that he would never marry another actress in the entertainment industry, he certainly would not stand up for Son Yezhen in front of Song Yi. Without the protection of Zhou Rongzhen, a business tycoon, Barunson Entertainment naturally could not resist the acquisition of New Asia Media Real Estate Group.

Kim Min-sook vaguely felt that the media website D Agency was closely related to Song Yi. If Song Yi had not helped behind the scenes, D Agency would not have been able to obtain the detailed information of the divorce case between Chen Fuzhen and Zhou Rongzhen. Otherwise, how would D Agency know that Chen Fuzhen offered 12 billion won in settlement to You Jae-sik, and Zhou Rongzhen was only willing to pay 1.5 billion won in breakup fee? On June 21, Gao Xianzhen, who had been out of the film industry for a long time, appeared at a media conference with Jin Xiyuan, the president of Xinya Entertainment. Xinya Entertainment announced that Gao Xianzhen had signed a contract with Xinya Films. Gao Xianzhen will star in Xinya Films' big-budget TV series "Queen Seondeok" next year. Gao Xianzhen's signing fee was 1.5 billion won.

When the entertainment reporters heard about the 1.5 billion won signing fee, they almost laughed out loud. Zhou Rongzhen of the Samsung family was only willing to give Gao Xianzhen 1.5 billion won as a breakup fee, but Song Yi directly gave Gao Xianzhen 1.5 billion won as a signing fee. Isn't this a slap in the face of Samsung? I guess Chen Mingxi and Zhou Rongzhen, mother and son, must have been so angry when they saw this news at home, right?

On the morning of June 22, Barunson representative director Kim Min-sook, Shinya Entertainment President Kim Hee-won, and actress Son Ye-jin appeared at a media conference together.

Son Ye-jin wore a silver suspender dress, pearl earrings, and long black hair, showing her youthful vitality and good figure to the fullest. Son Ye-jin's outfit attracted the attention of reporters at the press conference.

Kim Min-sook told reporters: "After discussions between me and President Kim Hee-won, Barunson Entertainment officially became a subsidiary of Shinya Entertainment, and Ms. Son Ye-jin officially became a contracted artist of Shinya. I hope everyone will pay more attention to Son Ye-jin's new works in the future."

Kim Hee-won secretly glanced at Son Ye-jin. Song Yi put in a lot of effort and finally signed Son Ye-jin. Now Shin Asia has gathered four beautiful post-80s stars: Kim Tae-hee, Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo and Son Ye-jin. If Sung Yu-ri is included, the most beautiful post-80s actresses in Korea are basically concentrated under Shin Asia. Shin Asia can indeed be said to be full of beauties.

Compared with Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo, she is actually more wary of Son Ye-jin. Son Ye-jin is a very smart woman. Although she met Zhou Yongzhen through Kim Min-sook, she will not rush to Zhou Yongzhen like other female stars.

Since her debut, under the protection of Kim Min-sook, Son Ye-jin has never had a boyfriend. She certainly knows how much damage this kind of beautiful star with a blank face can do to a super-rich man like Song Yi.

If she hadn't known that Song Yi had proposed to Kim Tae Hee and presented her with a pink diamond ring worth millions of dollars, she would never have agreed to New Asia's acquisition of Barunson Entertainment so quickly. She only hoped that Son Ye Jin was a smart woman and would not harbor delusions and try to challenge Kim Tae Hee's position as the queen. Kim Hee Won would be most happy to see Kim Tae Hee and Song Yi get married.

When Jin Xiyuan saw the pink diamond ring that Jin Taixi treasured, she did feel bitter. As Jin Taixi's sister, she was destined to be the woman who could not be exposed around Song Yi. She and Song Yi could not hold a wedding, and even if they had a child, they could only go abroad to give birth secretly.

Kim Tae Hee certainly knew how Kim Hee Won felt, and she was sensible and tried her best to comfort Kim Hee Won, "Sister, after Oppa and I get the marriage certificate together, you can have a small wedding with Oppa, and I will be your bridesmaid. Since fate has made us meet and fall in love with the same man, I certainly hope that we sisters can never be separated."

Compared to other women, Kim Hee-won certainly hopes that Kim Tae-hee can marry Song Yi. If Kim Tae-hee is Song Yi's first wife, Kim Tae-hee can provide more security for Kim Hee-won and Song Yi's children.

If Kim Tae Hee and Song Yi get married in the United States, they will be in perfect harmony. Kim Hee Won is now considering whether to fulfill Song Yi's wish. She and her sister Kim Tae Hee go to serve Song Yi together. Last time she and Liao Yu served Song Yi together, which really opened up a new world for her.

At this time, a reporter had already asked Kim Hee-won: "Yesterday, Ko Hyun-jung announced her comeback, and Shin Asia Films prepared a big-budget TV series "Queen Seondeok" for Ko Hyun-jung. What will be Ms. Son Ye-jin's first work after joining Shin Asia?"

Kim Hee-won cheered up and answered the reporter's question, "Ms. Son Ye-jin had previously auditioned for the New Asia Films romantic movie "If You Were Me" and stood out among 1,000 candidates. Our chairman is very optimistic about Miss Son Ye-jin's ability and believes that she can grow into a top movie actress like Jun Ji-hyun, so we reached a cooperation with Barunson Entertainment."

"'A Moment to Beloved' is the most important film production of our New Asia Films in the second half of the year. The director is Kwak Zairong, and the two leading male actors are Cho Seung-woo and Jo In-sung. When it is released in the second half of the year, I hope everyone can support Son Ye-jin's first film after joining New Asia. Thank you everyone." Kim Hee-won replied with a smile on her face.

On the afternoon of June 22, Song Yi was watching the quarter-final match between South Korea and Spain in his office when Jiang Xiu Na brought Gao Hyun Jung into Song Yi's office.

Gao Xianzhen saw that Song Yi was watching the game and felt that her visit was a bit abrupt. She couldn't help but back off, "President, since you are watching the game, I will come over later."

Song Yi didn't care, he just placed a small bet for fun. Song Yi took away 1.08 billion US dollars in prize money from major gaming companies, and the gaming companies must have noticed the direction of these funds.

If Song Yi continues to spend a lot of money to bet on Spain to draw 0-0 with South Korea, then the bookmakers will either adjust the odds or the score in regular time will not be 0-0. He is not willing to take this risk, so Song Yi is particularly relaxed when watching the game today. Song Yi personally bet millions of dollars for fun, at least to earn back the money for Kim Tae-hee's wedding ring.

"It's okay. There has been no goal in this game for half a day, it's quite boring. You came over at the right time. Is there anything?" Song Yi said.

Gao Hyun-jung had obviously put on special makeup today. She was wearing a white short-sleeved top, a black leather skirt, black stockings under the skirt, and a pair of red high heels. Her black curly hair, long eyelashes, dark red lips, and black nails gave her a charming look.

"I heard that the chairman wanted to pay the 1.5 billion won signing fee in advance. Without this money, my life would be in trouble now. Yongzhen has already relented and promised that I can visit the children at any time. I came to visit you to express my gratitude." Gao Xianzhen.

Song Yi looked at Gao Xianzhen, who had regained her beauty and confidence, and couldn't help but joke with her, "You came here empty-handed, and it doesn't look like you're here to express your gratitude, do you?"

Gao Xianzhen glared at Song Yi coquettishly. She saw that Song Yi's office door had been closed by Jiang Xiu Na. She walked to Song Yi's side and squatted down. "President, how do you want me to thank you?"

Jiang Xiu Na didn't know when Gao Xianzhen left Song Yi's office, but she was sensible and never asked about the happy time that Song Yi had with the company's actresses. As a secretary, she knew that she shouldn't ask and shouldn't look at things.

When she knocked on the door and entered Song Yi's office, Jiang Xiu Na could clearly feel that Song Yi was in a much happier mood. She heard Song Yi sigh, "It turns out that Gao Xianzhen and Zhou Rongzhen have not officially divorced yet. She is really a smart and sensible woman who knows what equal exchange means."
