Chapter 19 Signing a contract?
Compared to K's panic, the atmosphere at Girls' Generation is much calmer. After a year of debut, I have seen many senior artists. Moreover, just like Kwang Soo said, K is not the superstar of the past. The girls are too far away from him and don't need to be too careful. While eating refreshing meals, the girls casually talk about gossip about training and life.
Of course, two of them did not seem as relaxed. One was Sunny who was struggling in his heart, and the other was Junior who was struggling in his heart.
"It turns out that the person who has been teased by me hundreds of times and has become my target of venting pressure is like this..." Zheng Xiuyan, who has been paying attention to K's every move, saw everything that happened on the table. If it were in the past, everything she saw at this moment would inevitably become the perfect material for her to complain about K. However, after having the experience of being large-scale ANTI, she suddenly found that the other party was under hundreds of times more pressure than herself over the years. When she looked at K's every move, Zheng Xiuyan, who stood from another angle, felt something completely different.
"If it were me, would she sit there and enjoy the meal as calmly as the other party after being scolded for ten years?" Such questions were lingering in her heart. Although her habitual thinking over the years has not relieved her disgust for K, she has unknowingly developed a strong interest in such a special "senior"...
"You guys have a good food. I'll take a step in advance. I've paid before the meal..." Walking to the table of Girls' Generation, he first stopped the four girls who wanted to stand up. K said goodbye with a smile, and while talking, he quietly smiled at Sunny who was not very happy.
"You have a good journey..." He watched K respectfully pull Kwang-soo away from the hotel with an unhappy look on his face. The girls finally relaxed completely. Sunny, who saw K's smile, finally cheered up. After a while, laughter enveloped the four of them...
"What? Are you planning to remain silent with me?" Looking at Kwang Soo who closed her mouth and ignored her along the way, K couldn't help laughing, "Your agent is so successful... I still need to apologize to you and then make you happy?"
"Apology? Brother, your great star K, will you apologize to me as an agent? To be honest, brother, you are not good at all. Other artists will first look at their own people no matter what happens, but you always attack your own people first, which will disappoint me..." Kwangsoo frowned and complained while driving.
"You..." K smiled bitterly helplessly, "You have to do one or two things that make my face shine so that I can look at you, right? But when did you, a brat, lose my face first, and wait for me to support you?"
"Brother..." Kwang Soo, who knew she was in the wrong, wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by K's cell phone ringtone. K hung up the phone without saying a few words. Judging from his smile, something must have happened.
"Driving well, why are you always watching me?" K smiled and scolded Kwang Soo, who had been waiting for him to speak, before slowly saying: "CJ has completed the review, and all three songs have been passed this time. Their producer called me to remember to sign the contract with them as soon as possible..."
"Really! That's great!" After hearing K's words, Kwang Soo happily cracked her mouth and said with a chuckle: "Brother! If you don't say anything else, this is the first song you gave out in eight years! This is a good start! Oh... I passed it once, I guess the people on CJ will look up to you in the future!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'd better wait until tomorrow is over and consider the celebration... Isn't tomorrow the last day?" K's words calmed down Kwang-soo, who was still excited, but his smile still hung on his face. "We're finally waiting for this day... Brother, to be honest, I didn't expect that I could hold on until this last moment..."
Halfway through his words, Kwang Soo seemed to have thought of something, and hesitated for a while before speaking, "But, brother... Has Han Zhenzai not contacted you yet? Could he be..."
"Well... I was thinking about this before..." K's smile slowly closed when Knight was mentioned. Han Zhenzai was really underestimated by him...
"Brother, why don't we find a way out? I kept saying that guy was unreliable, and you trust him too much. If he wants to mess with you... no, let's contact another agency again, right?"
"It's not that he trusts him too much, but that he trusts myself too much..." K looked at the scenery flying past the car window and said slowly: "I'm afraid he planned to drag it to me until tomorrow, so that he can grasp the initiative more... Just wait until tomorrow, who will let the initiative be out of our hands?"
Although K guessed correctly, this was indeed an unsolvable trick that Han Zhenzai showed. There were very few investors who could meet his own conditions. Han Zhenzai had become the "Party A" who controls K's fate. As long as he was a little anxious, he could only grit his teeth and agree to any conditions proposed by the other party.
Just as K was silent, the eight-year contract, which was as heavy as a shackle, finally reached the last day. He got up early and did not sleep well all night, and was a little tired.
Kwang-soo also arrived at the company early, and the two sat face to face in silence. The office was so quiet that even the sound of the clocks on the wall became clear and smelling.
"Kung Soo, go and turn on the air conditioner. The room is too hot..." K, wearing a white shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and the sweat on his forehead continued to flow down his face. Kung Soo stood up with a rare obedient attitude. When the air conditioner turned on, it brought not only the cool air conditioner, but also the irritating roar of the machine itself.
"Tu tu tu..." When the time just pointed to eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the knock on the door finally ran into Kwang Soo's expectant eyes. He quickly got up and ran to the door. Before opening the door, he didn't forget to pay attention to the messy curly hair on his head...
"Hello..." Hearing Kwang Soo's awkward greeting, K knew who the visitor was without looking back. He smiled calmly on his face. He stood up and turned to the gate. Looking at Han Zhenzai, who was also smiling, said, "It's pretty early?"
In the other party's smile, K saw a full sense of pride...
"It's been so many years, and the decorations of this place are still the same as before?" After walking into the dilapidated office, Han Zhenzai leisurely raised his hand, pointing at the air conditioner with a strong presence like a master and said, "As soon as he entered the door, I thought this old guy was working on it, right?"
"Do it..." He didn't deliberately cater to the other party's words. K knew that if he showed weakness at the beginning, there would be no need to talk about it next. Seeing Han Zhenzai and the lawyer who came with him sat on the sofa, he said, "How is it? You have thought about it for so long, and it should be a result, right?"
"Of course there is!" Han Zhenzai's voice was high and he looked proud, "You asked me to make a good judgment, how could I be careless?" He gestured to the lawyer beside him with his eyes. The latter neatly took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to K, "Look at it carefully, this is a contract that I have studied with the lawyer for a long time before I made a special contract for you... As long as you sign it, we will be a family in the future..."
K did not respond to the other party's polite words, but took the document and looked carefully. Standing behind him, Kwang Soo stretched her neck long, and her anxious look made Han Zhenzai smile unbearably.
"Your appetite is really big..." Finally turning the document to the last page, K breathed a long sigh and looked at Han Zhenzai with a wry smile and said, "This contract doesn't look like you want to invest in me, but it's like you want to buy all the valuable things around me, and just reluctantly get me..."
"That's wrong!" Han Zhenzai shook his head seriously, pointed to the blushing Kwang-soo behind K and said, "It's two people! What? Do you really think I will get hot in my brain because of those few unnutritious words of yours and invest money on you desperately? That's money! The money I earned by myself!"
Looking at the K who lowered his head and did not refute him, Han Zhenzai said slowly: "When I looked for you ten years ago, I was eagerly looking forward to you accepting the money I delivered to you in person. All I needed was your attitude and a sentence to explain everything, but you smiled and rejected me... Ten years later, why did you decide that I would give you money unconditionally like before? Just because you are K? Just because you are the title of "National Captain" who has long been outdated?"
"Okay..." After hearing Han Zhenzai's words, K finally raised his head and stopped the other party from continuing to say something. He slowly stood up, his eyes always staring at Han Zhenzai opposite him.
"Kwang Soo..."
"Brother!" Kwang Soo responded excitedly, rolled up her sleeves and acted as a move to chase people. Han Zhenzai was too bullying. Do you really think our K was made of mud?
"Give me the pen I used to sign the contract before..."
"Ah?" Kwang Soo was stunned, looking at K standing in front of her...
"Didn't you hear what I said? That's what..." K said word by word and looked at Han Zhenzai, with a smile on his face, "I signed this contract..."
This time it was not only Kwang Soo, but even Han Zhenzai, who had been imposing on the other side, was stunned on the spot...
