At night, Liu Zaitian looked at the text message on his phone and instantly felt overwhelmed.
"Zaitian oppa, Unnie Injeong's birthday is on October 5th. Although it's still nearly a month away, Zaitian oppa, you should start preparing the gift in advance. If you have any questions, you can directly consult the beautiful Su-yeong; she will give you the best answers. Of course, if Zaitian oppa has nothing to do at home, come and see Su-yeong more often; Su-yeong practices very hard every day %>_<%. And~~~ this is the last part, the ingredients Zaitian oppa bought us last time, except for the meat, are about to go bad. Zaitian oppa, come over quickly and turn them into delicious food! (*^__^*) Hehe..."
"October... 5th! It's really early." With a bitter smile, Liu Zaitian put his phone back on the bedside table. He then stopped reading the book he had just opened and went straight to bed.
The next morning, Liu Zaitian got dressed and went out.
Driving to JS Company, the basement, originally used as a parking lot, had been converted into a comprehensive fitness center, divided into inner and outer sections. The inner section was for company employees, while the outer section was open to the public.
Since he hadn't eaten at home, Liu Zaitian bought a bread and a cup of milk on the way, quickly satisfying his hunger before entering the innermost part of the gym.
As the owner of JS, he had a unique room in this gym. After changing into his workout clothes, Liu Zaitian immediately began his fitness routine.
The content of this plan was quite simple: using all his free time, except for scheduled activities, for working out, O(∩_∩)O~
He continued until nearly noon, then, drenched in sweat, he went into the bathroom to clean up.
"Hey, Su-yeong, are you still practicing? Oh, right, what are you planning to eat for lunch? I'll treat you... Hmm... Why are you so enthusiastic? There's no way... My dear Su-yeong wants me to care more about her hard practice, so how can I not be more proactive? Do I have to listen to her complaints? ... Okay, I'll drive over now, directly to the back door of **. Wait for me there."
Last night, seeing the text message from Su-yeong, which was almost bluntly saying she was practicing hard and needed to replenish her nutrition, and since Liu Zaitian had nothing to do, he decided to visit her.
After changing his clothes, he went directly to the parking lot outside the company and drove his minivan towards **, which wasn't far away.
To be honest, although Liu Zaitian was the owner of JS, as a peer, he wasn't very familiar with **, the leading company in the Korean entertainment industry. He knew the location of the company, but this was his first time visiting.
It was only a ten-minute drive to the back door of ** Company, but he didn't see the figures of Choi Su-yeong and the others there.
He had to call again...
"Hey, Su-yeong, where are you now? ... Oh, still practicing, huh? ... Okay, then send someone down to meet me."
Hanging up the phone, Liu Zaitian could only sigh helplessly and park his car on the side.
However, after getting out of the car, he didn't go directly to the back door of ** Company but headed towards the surrounding stores.
"Seven servings of large ice cream, snacks... Really, if we're going to eat, why not just eat directly? Why do you still need to practice, and why do you need to eat snacks...?" As he walked forward, Liu Zaitian kept muttering to himself. This wasn't because he was unwilling, but because it was a practice method taught by Liu Zaisuk, to get him used to talking to himself.
Finally, he bought the ice cream according to the list provided by Choi Su-yeong, along with some snacks and fruit drinks, and then turned towards the back door of **.
There, a tall figure had been waiting for some time.
However, first, Liu Zaitian had to register at the security post at the back door, which he found to be the most troublesome part.
"Zaitian oppa, thank you for the trouble."
Seeing Liu Zaitian carrying bags, Lin Yoon-a greeted him politely and took one of the bags.
"No problem, since I offered to treat you all to lunch!" His awkward expression and words made Lin Yoon-a lower her head again. "Okay, I was just joking. It's a great opportunity to meet you all, and others would be more than happy to do so." Although... although they haven't fully developed yet.
Well, the last thought would forever remain buried in Liu Zaitian's heart. After hearing Liu Zaitian's words, Lin Yoon-a immediately lifted her head, her face beaming with happiness.
Indeed... young girls are the easiest to please.
However, immediately...
"Teacher Lee Soo-man, hello!" Recognizing the person in front of her, Lin Yoon-a instantly bowed deeply and greeted him respectfully.
"Mr. Lee Soo-man, hello." As for Liu Zaitian, he could only marvel at his luck... but instantly, he put on a formal smile and extended his hand to Lee Soo-man.
"Mr. Liu Zaitian, I didn't expect to see you here." Lee Soo-man also extended his hand and shook Liu Zaitian's, his eyes showing a hint of surprise. As a peer, he had conducted a thorough investigation into the background and identity of JS Entertainment, and since Liu Zaitian had never hidden his identity, it was easy for him to gather information about Liu Zaitian.
Of course, this information was limited to events in Korea. Once outside Korea, it would be impossible for Lee Soo-man to investigate Liu Zaitian.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Lin Yoon-a, right?" Shifting his gaze to Lin Yoon-a standing beside Liu Zaitian, Lee Soo-man smiled.
"Yes, teacher." Facing the person who could decide her fate, Lin Yoon-a was quite reserved.
"So, may I ask why Mr. Liu Zaitian is visiting our **...?"
"It's like this, I have a younger sister who is a trainee here with Mr. Lee Soo-man. Since I'm also in this industry, her parents asked me to take care of her. Last night, she said I wasn't doing my job, so I bought some things and came to visit her today." Liu Zaitian responded with a smile.
"I see. So, who is your younger sister? I can pay more attention to her and make sure she doesn't suffer here."
Hearing that Liu Zaitian had a younger sister here, Lee Soo-man immediately became more familiar, calling him "Zaitian" and acting like an elder.
However, by age, it was indeed appropriate, so Liu Zaitian didn't fuss over the details. "Her name is Choi Su-yeong. My father and her father are good friends. I visited their house recently and recognized her as my younger sister."
"Ah, it's her!" Lee Soo-man, who was well aware of Choi Su-yeong's background, didn't doubt Liu Zaitian's words. "Then, Zaitian, go ahead. We've met today, and we might work together in the future, so don't be so formal. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle."
"Then I'll take the liberty, Uncle Soo-man!" Since he was in this industry, Liu Zaitian was quite open about building relationships. As for the future, that could be discussed later.
"Okay, go ahead!" Finally, Lee Soo-man patted Liu Zaitian's shoulder lightly and continued walking forward.
At this point, Lin Yoon-a's gaze towards Liu Zaitian was filled with admiration.
Seeing this, Liu Zaitian waved his hand in front of her eyes. "What's wrong, Yoon-a? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Zaitian oppa is so cool. Every time I see Teacher Lee Soo-man, I get so nervous. The senior artists and teachers in our company also get very nervous when they are watched by the teacher. Zaitian oppa, aren't you nervous?"
"What do I have to be nervous about? Let me explain it to you. When you face Teacher Lee Soo-man, you are in the position of a disciple or subordinate, so you naturally put yourself in a weaker position, which makes you nervous. But I am on the same level as him, so I don't feel nervous." Although not entirely accurate, it was a general explanation.
"Is that so?"
"Yes~~! Stop thinking about it, or Su-yeong unnie will get angry."
