Chapter 29

The conversation with Li Haoyan was quick, with Li Haoyan doing most of the asking and instructing, while Jin Yufan's role was to answer respectfully. Thus, the conversation ended in just a few minutes.

Originally, Li Haoyan had called Jin Yufan to his office merely to inform him, without any other matters to discuss. It was because Li Haoyan valued Jin Yufan that he spoke to him directly; otherwise, he would have had Choi Hyo-jeong notify him.

Jin Yufan always presented a strong and stubborn image to others, but this did not mean he did not know when to yield. Although he had only been with DSP Entertainment for a year and was now being sent to debut in China, which seemed rushed, Jin Yufan understood deep down that this was Li Haoyan's decision and could not be changed. Therefore, he complied with Li Haoyan's wishes.

After receiving Li Haoyan's notification, Jin Yufan did not continue practicing at the company but chose to go home directly. After all, with only three days left, he needed to persuade his grandmother, Li Zhina.

"What? You're going to debut in China in three days? How can this be? You're so young!" As expected, when Jin Yufan told his grandmother that he would be leaving Korea in three days to debut in China, Li Zhina was stunned and then became furious.

Li Zhina's anger stemmed not only from DSP Entertainment's arrangement and the fact that her grandson was about to leave her, but also from Jin Yufan's young age.

After all, Jin Yufan was only fourteen. Although Li Zhina had confidence in her grandson, she could not change the fact that he was only fourteen.

Sending a fourteen-year-old to debut in another country was, in Li Zhina's eyes, an irresponsible act by DSP Entertainment, which made her even angrier.

For a fourteen-year-old to debut, even in Korea, would be very difficult. With such a young age, there were fewer opportunities and less experience, making success very hard to achieve, let alone in China.

Looking at the entire Korean entertainment industry, how many trainees or newcomers had debuted at thirteen or fourteen and succeeded in another country?

In fact, the only one who had achieved this was BoA. Of course, with Jin Yufan's appearance, his name would certainly be added to the list.

Seeing Li Zhina's intense anger, Jin Yufan felt a headache. He had anticipated his grandmother's reaction before coming home, but he did not expect it to be so strong.

In reality, Jin Yufan, with his adult mindset, had overlooked the fact that he was only fourteen and did not fully understand how important his only grandson was to an elderly person like Li Zhina.

Li Zhina was furious, but Jin Yufan had no choice. This was Li Haoyan's decision, and it could not be changed. Moreover, Jin Yufan himself wanted to debut as soon as possible.

After all, the training courses and projects at the company were too easy for Jin Yufan. Once he got the hang of them, they were as simple as drinking water.

Furthermore, not debuting early meant he had to attend school every day, which was very uncomfortable for Jin Yufan, especially given the distortions in Korean history textbooks, which almost made him feel like he had been paralyzed by the shamelessness of the Korean education system.

Of course, the most important reason was that Jin Yufan wanted to debut to earn money. Although most of it would go to the company, he would still get some income.

Jin Yufan valued money, as it was essential in this world.

Jin Yufan could ignore his own quality of life, but he had to consider his grandmother. At her age, without a steady income, how could she enjoy her later years?

For Jin Yufan, who had no family in his previous life and did not know the warmth of home and family, having a grandmother was like having a lifeline. He cherished her deeply.

Although he was lazy and did not want to find other ways to earn money, he still needed an income. Life had to go on, and he had to take care of and support his grandmother. Therefore, Jin Yufan decided that the only way to earn money was through the entertainment industry, and the sooner he debuted, the better.

After half an hour, an hour, and finally two hours, Jin Yufan finally managed to persuade his grandmother to accept the fact that he would debut in three days.

Seeing his grandmother's lingering anger, Jin Yufan sighed, reflecting on the sacrifices and efforts of every elder for their younger generation.

"Grandma, I'm going to China in three days. I won't be able to eat your cooking often anymore." Jin Yufan thought of a way to divert his grandmother's attention.

Sure enough, his plan worked. When she heard Jin Yufan's words, his grandmother frowned. "Oh, that's right. Once you go to China, you won't be able to eat my cooking often. I wonder if you'll adapt to life there. No, no, let's go to the supermarket now. Whatever you want to eat, I'll cook it for you."

With that, his grandmother, who was eager, quickly stood up, rushed to her room, took out some money, and dragged the stunned Jin Yufan out of the house, heading to the nearest supermarket.

Jin Yufan never thought that a delicious meal could feel like a punishment. Perhaps because he was leaving, his usually frugal grandmother splurged, buying many ingredients to cook a series of delicious meals for Jin Yufan.

During the meal, his grandmother kept piling food onto Jin Yufan's plate, urging him to eat more. Jin Yufan found it hard to disappoint her, so he continued to eat, even though he was already very full.

When his grandmother finally realized and stopped piling food on his plate, Jin Yufan was so full that he could barely move and had to lean against the sofa.

"Grandma, I need your help tomorrow. I want to invite a few people over for dinner. These people have taken very good care of me at the company this year!"

After a few minutes of rest and a deep breath, Jin Yufan seemed to remember something and quickly told his grandmother.

"Sure, sure, don't worry, I'll cook the most delicious food to treat your guests." Hearing Jin Yufan's request, his grandmother nodded and smiled without hesitation.

In her mind, her grandson was not someone who easily made friends. If these were Jin Yufan's friends, they must be very good friends. Moreover, since her grandson said these people had taken good care of him at the company, she was determined to cook a delicious meal to show her gratitude.

"Sisters, thank you for your care this year. I will repay you in the future!" Closing his eyes, Jin Yufan thought about the care he had received from Park Ji-ju and the five sisters of Fin.K.L during his time at DSP Entertainment. He resolved to repay them once he had the means and influence.

He would make Park Ji-ju a true high-ranking executive at DSP Entertainment, not just a minor music producer. As for the four sisters of Fin.K.L, the best way to repay them would be to help their careers flourish. Of course, keeping Fin.K.L together might make them even happier.

(Today, I saw the news that Lee Seung-gi and YoonA are dating. It's a bit hard to take, but thinking about their careers and ages, they do seem well-matched. I genuinely wish them the best. However, in the madman's book, hehe~~~~)
