My girlfriend is an idol
Chapter 3 Retired, son of a tyrant.
"It's 2014. Girls' Generation is the contract expiring this year, right?"
"Yes, the company started talking to them about contract renewal since last year."
"Are there so few people hesitating?"
"how do you know?"
"Does one of them want to start a side business, but the company disagrees?"
"Do you know this too?"
"Ha ha..."
Time: January 1, 2014, Location: Stanford University, Auditorium
The crowd was crushed by darkness, and the middle-aged man on that stage was righteously explaining something to the students below.
From the big screen next to the middle-aged person, you can clearly see that a group of videos are slowly playing, there are men and women, they are all doing the same thing-acting.
The English is heavily mixed with South Korean accents. Looking at the upper part of the auditorium, there is a red banner. The most conspicuous one is the English characters "K-POP".
"The last time I came here, I introduced to you that our company was preparing for a large men's team with 7 members from South Korea and 5 members from Huaxia. (Later, one quit, that person It’s Song Bingyang)
Is planning to form a team with the same team name.In addition, they are in South Korea and China respectively, members of South Korea are active in South Korea, and members of China are active in China. The two teams debut in two countries with the same song and perform activities at the same time.The two teams combined are 12 members.He will debut in China and South Korea in May.
This time I came here again to meet with you, and it also brought you good news worth looking forward to.
We plan to launch a women's team in August this summer. This is another women's team launched after the launch of F(x) in 2009. Currently, this plan has just been put on the agenda. How many members are there?What route and style to take is still being planned. The selection of the new girl group will start after I return to China. Please look forward to it."
The middle-aged man on the stage who was speaking was just a lot older than he was three years ago, and his lens eyes still shone with wisdom.Among the crowd, there was a boy who looked somewhat similar to a middle-aged person, who was holding the phone and whispering.
"Father would be very happy if he knew that you were discharged."
"Is it?"
"Don't you just come here?"
"No, I'm on my mother's side."
Hearing this, the two fell silent at the same time, and seemed out of tune with the auditorium where applause appeared from time to time.
After more than a minute of silence, the man slowly said, "Do you want me to tell my father? Just speak."
"Well, it's nothing, but you can tell my father for me, and I will return home after I officially retire."
"Really? Haven't you always been against the entertainment industry?"
"Before, now..."
Outside Stanford University, on a distant hillside, a tough man in military uniform looked at the direction of the school and hung up the phone.
In front of him, there was an incense table with a bowl of steaming rice, a bowl of broth, a stack of wormwood cake, and a yellowed photo.
The person who spoke with him on the phone just now is named Li Xiankui, his own brother.
At this time, the person giving a speech at Stanford University was his father. This is the second time he has been invited.
In the eyes of South Korean people, there are probably few who don’t know him. Privately, everyone calls him "tyrant". He created the largest star-making factory in South Korea. Fans call it a dumb hat. Privately, he is kind. Call that person "Uncle Man".
In Li Xianzhe’s impression, his father is a very serious person, and because the outside world calls him a "tyrant", there have been many black materials about his father, but this kind of thing is not very credible. From the artist who debuted in the company, in many public occasions, they will bring the sentence "Thanks to the family of the company, thanks to Mr. Li Xiuman", it can be seen that they respect their father, of course, they also have a trace of fear.
Even if it is President Kim who is in charge of the company now, the person who is mentioned and the first person who thinks of this company is none other than his father.
Ahem, it's a bit far away.
But in fact, at home, Li Xianzhe’s father is like many traditional men, but he loves their brothers and mother very much.It is a pity that this kind of life has gone away from them in 2012.
That year, his mother was diagnosed with small bowel cancer, and the operation began in January 2013. It was different from the fragmented memory in her mind... His mother died on September 30, 2014, but early For a whole year.
Sitting cross-legged on the grass, Li Xianzhe looked at the yellow photo of the happy family, always feeling very complicated.
God took his mother away, and under the stimulus of that kind of grief, he sent him the mess of memories. Once, this thing tortured him almost split personality.
After Li Xianzhe was born, unlike his elder brother Li Xiankui who was sent by his father to study in the United States, he was sent to China by his father to live alone. Not to mention, he developed an authentic Jingpu accent.
But when he was in middle school, he went to the United States and went to the most famous middle school in California with his brother Li Xiankui, Westlake High School, known as the "Little Ivy League" and "California Harvard".
Although the two brothers were well protected by their father and were not disturbed by the outside world, the media have never exposed photos of the two brothers.But perhaps it was the unique concept of "the son inheriting his father's inheritance" that is unique to the Orientals that drove him to have great expectations for the two brothers.
Finance, business management, film and television music creation, real estate investment planning, etc. As long as they can learn, Li Xiuman "forces" their brothers to accept these, fortunately in the future one of them can join the company to help him manage the company Daily operations, carry forward the glory of the family.
Everyday life was spent in this arranged full study. Until 2012, the mother of the two brothers, Jin Eunzhen, was found to be terminally ill, which changed the relationship between the father and son overnight. .
Although his father lost his job at the company during that time and stayed in the hospital all night, due to the lack of communication between father and son, as his mother's health became worse and worse, Lee Hyun-chul chose the path that South Korean men feared the most— Military service, but not in South Korea, but in the United States.
"In 2014, according to what my brother said, after my father returned to the company, he would probably start the selection of new girl group members, ah~~ It should be said that before that, there was no RedVelet in their combination candidates. Forget it, as long as it's not lavender and White Fox (white fox)."
He knocked his head three times at the middle-aged woman in the photo. Li Xianzhe got up, slapped the dust on his body and muttered, "Four generation girl group, I am really looking forward to meeting you for the first time."
Two months ago, Li Xianzhe formally retired from an American army. Because of his good performance, he was awarded the "Medal of Honor" by his unit and was recorded in the annals of history. (The Medal of Honor is the highest honor for American soldiers in the military. As of 2005, a total of 3,460 medals of honor have been awarded, of which 615 were posthumously awarded after the death of the recipient. 19 people were awarded two medals of honor, of which 14 were awarded this honor twice, and 5 were awarded within one time. At the same time was awarded the Army and Navy Medal of Honor.
Mary Hawke, the only female recipient of the Medal of Honor, was an army surgeon during the Civil War.Her medals with other non-combatant winners were abolished in 1917 and were only re-recognized in 1977 under President Carter.
The qualifications for the Medal of Honor are not limited to American citizens.61 Canadians who served in the U.S. military have received this honor, most of them during the American Civil War. The last award was in 2013, and the protagonist was awarded during the service.During this time, Li Xianzhe's application for early graduation was also approved by his university, Stanford University.
Compared with the many talented students at Stanford University, Li Xianzhe, who obtained a master's degree during his military service, is not special, but if such an example is placed in South Korea, it is destined to be difficult to not be noticed.
One day in March, Li Xianzhe, who was still wearing a military uniform, boarded a plane to his hometown from San Francisco International Airport in California.
On the same day, Li Xianzhe’s father’s company announced the highly anticipated new women’s team selection plan.
