Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 14 Private Recruitment

The chance encounter with Bae Suzy was just an insignificant episode in Park Kyung Wook's daily life.

Although the process was not very pleasant, the ending was not very happy either.

But at the same time, this was also a novel experience for him - it was the first time that someone spoke harshly to him because of his different preferences. Frankly speaking, he felt very complicated.

He deeply understands that he is not money and cannot be liked by everyone.

Even if the reason is weird, it may not even be true, but Bae Suzy is no different from other haters (people who hate XXXX), they are all the same type of people.

People who play hippop are familiar with hater, and Park Kyung Wook is no exception.

There are a lot of haters in his video comment area, and they change their ways and say some disgusting things in the comment area every day.

Park Kyung-wook couldn't bear it anymore and wrote the song "Keyboardman" as a response.

The results are quite acceptable.

Although the number of haters has not decreased as a result, more people have spoken for him, and the atmosphere in the comment area has become much better.

Park Jingxu naturally doesn't care too much about hater.He doesn't have the energy to cope with it, and competing with everyone will only exhaust himself.

I just didn't expect that there was one in the company, and he didn't hide it at all.

This is a naked provocation that Park Kyung Wook cannot ignore.

But he found it a little tricky on how to deal with this issue.

Bae Suzy is a trainee of the company, and she is obviously the "star-filled type" that her uncle likes.

Therefore, it is difficult for Park Jingxu to kick her out of the company. As for other disgusting little tricks, he is too lazy to do them, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.Unless it gets her out of the company.Otherwise it would be meaningless. After all, he is also very busy and cannot spend time with a trainee all the time.

Seeing that she hasn't done anything outrageous yet, Park Jingxu won't bother her for the time being.

Stand still, observe with concentration, and wait for the opponent to reveal flaws.

"What a troublesome bad girl."

Park Jingxu smiled pointedly.

Although Bae Xiuzhi is a hater, she still made contributions to him.

At least it gave him some inspiration and brought his song one step closer to completion.

..........................................................................................

Time flies by, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot has happened in the past month and a half.First, the idol sisters took some free time one after another and completed their own recordings.Immediately afterwards, Park Kyung Wook immediately jumped into the mixing process and completed the work quickly.

At this point, all the remaining songs in the album except the title track have been completed.

Including uncle Park Jin Young and senior Sunmi who are far away in the United States also took the time to complete their own features.

The title song has actually completed the general framework, leaving only the details. Park Jingxu is still a little dissatisfied. Because of his first album, he attaches great importance to quality.

No matter what industry you are in, first impressions matter.So he hopes to hand in a perfect answer sheet.

In addition to album production, Park Kyung Wook is still worried about investors.

He had previously promised to SNSD's Yoon Kwon duo to bring in enough funds to shoot the MV.

The easiest way is to ask the company to transfer the money, but again, he is not currently a company artist, and spending the company's money will cause people to gossip.

It’s not that he must be clearly separated from JYP.

The company does not belong to his uncle alone. To convince others, Park Jingxu needs to prove himself.

If this album achieves good results, Park Kyung Wook will have the right to speak, and he will not be polite to JYPE.

To put it bluntly, Park Jingxu has big plans.There is an old saying in China: If you don’t plan for the eternity, you can’t plan for a moment; if you don’t plan for the overall situation, you can’t plan for a region.

If he wants to get more out of JYP, he can't be greedy for the small profits in front of him.

Since JYP cannot get more help from this channel, who else can they find to pay for the money?

He had an idea. Since the number of subscriptions to YouTube channels has been growing steadily, some companies with a longer-term view have already made plans in advance. They approached Park Jingxu privately and proposed the idea of ​​paid promotion of their products.

Park Jingxu is not a short-sighted person and can see the broad prospects of his personal YouTube channel.As one of the first people to eat crabs, sooner or later you will get considerable benefits from it.He also communicated with his mother, who is an economics professor, and her suggestion was also not to commercialize it for the time being. It is best to retain a clean and pure style to attract more subscribers.

He was wondering if these companies could provide the money.He still won’t commercialize the YouTube channel, but the MV doesn’t have this problem.As long as you don't overdo it, it's totally fine.

It's just that someone came to his door before his idea was implemented.

The reason was that Park Jingxu received a call from his father one day, saying that a child star planning company wanted to discuss cooperation with him.

After Park Jingxu called the phone, the other person directly said that he could provide funding to help him shoot the MV. In exchange, he would need to appoint the person designated by the other party to star in the MV.

Although Park Jingxu didn't know where the other party learned that he was short of money for filming, it did not affect him in seizing the opportunity to solve the financial problem.

After questioning and confirming that the people named by the other party were only children of similar age to him, Park Jingxu readily agreed.

He did not find anyone else for the MV shooting team, but directly entrusted the team under the company.They also agreed to Park Jingxu's request under the condition of providing compensation and additional friendship.

Most things are ready, only the choreography is still up in the air.

The date of meeting with Liu Junshan is about to be arranged, and the matter will surely come to an end soon.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……

A few days later in the afternoon, Park Jingxu walked out of the company. As soon as he left the air-conditioned territory, he was greeted by a surging heat wave.

This made him frown.

Then Park Jingxu looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. The dazzling light forced him to squint his eyes.He looked at the ground again. The steaming heat almost distorted the light.

Before he came out, he checked the weather. It was 35℃ in Seoul today.

After only being out for a short while, big beads of sweat were already slowly flowing down that handsome face.

"This anger really knows how to pick time."

The weather was so hot that it felt like being in a sauna.

Park Jingxu, who didn't like to complain, couldn't help but complain.

He was called out.

Park Jingxu couldn't help but raise his hands to cover himself from the scorching afternoon sun, and kept looking around in this posture.

After scanning around for a while, he finally settled on his target - a girl sitting by the window in Dunkin' Donuts opposite the company waved to him.

He strode straight towards the other party.

As soon as he entered the store, the stern expression on Park Jingxu's face could not help but feel relieved as he returned to the air-conditioned embrace.

"Is there anything you can't talk about over the phone?"

Park Jingxu couldn't help but complain.To reiterate, he is not a complainer, but seeing the other person enjoying himself while enjoying the air conditioning and drinking coffee made him a little unhappy.

On the opposite side, Liu Xun, I understood his inner dissatisfaction, and smiled and comforted him.

"Relax! Order something first, my treat!"

Hearing this, Pu Jingxu curled his lips speechlessly. As a senior, Liu Xuan was supposed to treat me.However, he had a certain understanding of this Nu and that. She was the type who would pay whoever had the money and hated being treated unconditionally all the time.

So when she offered to treat her, it showed a certain degree of sincerity.

So Park Jingxu ordered a cup of mocha and a chocolate donut as usual.

After ordering, he observed the business conditions in the store.

Because this Dunkin' Donuts is located opposite the company, artists, trainees and fans often visit it, and the business is very prosperous.

Perhaps because of the high cost of land in Cheongdam-dong, the store is not very large and can easily be full even if the outdoor conditions are included.Almost every time Park Jingxu visits the store, the store is packed to the brim, and he has to wait in line for a long time to buy a cup of coffee.

For some reason, there were surprisingly few people today, which is why he was a little surprised when he saw Liu Yuanme in Dunkin' Donuts.

"So Nu Na, do you have to tell me something in person? You don't want to confess to me, do you?"

Maybe it's because the preparations for the album have gone very smoothly recently, or maybe it's the quiet environment with few people that makes Park Jingxu relax.He was in a happy mood and even joked.

Hearing this, I rolled my eyes.

"Jingxu, you are a bit narcissistic. Although you are good-looking, I don't like people who are younger than me."

"What do you mean by being young... I'm only one year younger than you, so it doesn't matter much."

"That's what I said to take care of your emotions. I have to be honest and say that you are not my type." Liu Xuanwo slowly stirred the coffee with a spoon and said with a half-smile.

"Aren't you my fan then? It makes me a little sad to say that." Park Jingxu said he was sad, but his expression didn't feel that way.

"Ani, I never said that. Don't make it up!"

"You recognized me at a glance in your record store. This is the reaction only a fan would have."

Park Jingxu calmly listed the evidence, hoping to eliminate the loopholes in the other party's language in one fell swoop.Although there is no point in arguing about this, it is quite suitable as a fun way to pass the time.

Hearing this, I laughed out loud.

"I would have forgotten it if you didn't mention it. It's a bit funny to mention it. The day before, I watched a variety show about 'Relatives are also artists!'. I remembered it because the difference between my appearance and your uncle's was so profound. Who knew the second time? I met a real person the next day."

Park Jingxu was embarrassed on the spot.

He never thought that the real reason was this. What he just said made him feel a little embarrassed.

However, Park Kyung Wook's face, which he had honed in the entertainment industry, remained calm and pretended to be nonchalant as he sipped his coffee.

"It seems I've overthought it. It's a pity. I quite like Nu Na."

An unexpected straight ball made Liu Xianwo's face turn red.

After all, Liu Yun, I am just a 15-year-old girl, and it is a little hard to resist facing a handsome man of the opposite sex who expresses his love for her.

What's more, she lied.

She is not completely indifferent to Park Jingxu.

Although I can't say I like him, I do have an indescribable affection for this boy who is outstanding in appearance and talented.

In a sense, her father's wariness of Park Jingxu was not unreasonable.

Park Jingxu didn't notice this, because the girl hid it very well and basically didn't show it.

I just feel that the other party is a little uncomfortable with this kind of joke.

So he showed a narrow smile and planned to pursue the victory.

"Why does Nu Na's face look so red? You don't really want me to be right, do you?"

"Yeah! That's enough, Park Kyung Wook! The joke ends here!"

The girl patted Park Jingxu's arm and said angrily.

Park Jingxu, who understands the principle of when enough is enough, naturally follows what is good.

After joking for a while, he decided to get to the point.

"So what on earth is Angry looking for me today? You won't really treat me to dessert, will you?"

"Actually, it's almost the same. To be precise, I want to treat you to a meal."

After drinking coffee, Liu Xuan regained her composure. When talking about business, she spoke clearly and neatly, never procrastinating or being perfunctory.

"I mainly want to thank you for giving my brother a chance. He has already told me that there were many objections at the time, but it was you who overcame all objections and appointed him as the choreographer of the MV."

"There's nothing to be thankful for. I'm just doing business. In addition to me, Seung Sung hyung, Shi Hyun hyung and several JYP choreographers were also present. Their objections don't mean they don't approve, but they just don't want your brother to be proud. In fact, privately they are all full of praise for Brother Junshan."

Park Jingxu's words were not comforting polite words.Ryu Jun Sun is a man who really has two skills, and the set of moves he designed also won Park Kyung Wook's heart.Choosing him was a natural outcome.

"Then I have to thank you. After all, it was you who gave him the opportunity to participate in the MV choreography. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get close to his ideal so quickly - no one would believe the ability of an underage boy. of."

"Since Nu Na has said so, I will accept it."

Park Jingxu is not a pretentious person, and the other person likes a refreshing way of communication, which is exactly in line with his ideas - the communication between people should be more real and more chill.

"In addition, there is also an apology in it. My brother has already taught me a lesson since I left your house last time. I am fully aware that coming to your door in the middle of the night has caused you inconvenience and trouble, and I would like to express my apology. Miane!”

After saying this, I stood up and bowed, which attracted the attention of the few customers and clerks in the store.

Park Jingxu ignored the looks of others and smiled and waved his hand to indicate acceptance.

He won't say hypocritical things like "No such thing, in fact, it doesn't bother me at all."At that time, he was indeed dissatisfied because of this, and once wanted to exclude Liu Chan and me from the house. In the end, he relented because it was not safe for girls to stay outside in the middle of the night.

Even though he no longer cared about the matter after so long, the other party's solemn apology still made him feel a lot better.

After talking about the business, the two chatted again. At this time, Park Jingxu suddenly remembered something and sighed.This action was noticed by Liu Yanwo, and she took the initiative to show concern.

"what happened?"

"Actually, there's no need for us to stay here, right?"

Liu Xuan was a little confused, she took a small bite of the donut and said.

"Wouldn't it be nice to stay here and chat? There is unlimited air conditioning, a quiet environment, and delicious food."

"It's true that I'm happy to chat with Nu Na, but what you mentioned can actually be solved with a phone call, right?"

"The phone call seems a bit perfunctory, but it is more sincere to express it in person."

"I agree with you. Then we can just meet at the meal. Why do you have to stay here to drink coffee?"

Hearing this, Liu Xuan raised my eyebrows. Park Jingxu's criticism made her a little unhappy.

Her eyes sharpened.

"Oh? Does it make you feel uncomfortable spending more time with me?"

"That's not the case. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable sitting around doing nothing for a few hours. You know, I was busy working on the album even just now, so I feel a little uncomfortable being idle all of a sudden."

Park Jingxu's sincere explanation moved the girl.With her face softened, she suddenly felt the same as Park Jingxu. For a moment, the donuts in her hands no longer tasted good.

"How about you go back and continue making the album, and I'll come back to you after dinner?"

"No need, I'm afraid inspiration will come to me while I'm busy, and I might not even be able to take care of eating by then."

Liu Xian nodded, not trying to persuade me.She is not a creator and does not understand the feeling of a creator going crazy for inspiration, otherwise her ideas will definitely change.

After all, she had selfish motives, because the atmosphere with Park Jingxu was very comfortable, and with the greedy idea of ​​staying a little longer, Liu Xuan asked him out so early.

But as soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere was hardly as harmonious as before.

He is obviously a person with high emotional intelligence, but sometimes his behavior makes people not feel this.

Liu Xuan and I secretly complained about each other, and our eyes wandered around carelessly.

Until I saw a long queue outside the JYP building for some reason.

She asked the local snake across the street why.

"Today is a new round of private recruitment. Speaking of which, my relatives seem to be here too. Let's go and have a look."

While Park Jingxu was explaining, he remembered that Wu Xiarong seemed to have said that he would come to participate in the selection today, and also prohibited him from coming to watch.

He had no intention of going to see it, but since it was boring to sit here, he might as well go somewhere else.

I agree with Liu Xuan, she is also interested in idol selection.

So the two people walked towards the selection venue.
