Chapter 487 Contract Renewal (1/2)
The two days in Daegu were very fulfilling.
With the company of his girlfriend, even when he went out wearing a mask, he did not encounter any fans coming up to disturb him.
It has to be said that between towns and cities, artists are more suitable to live in the former.
The rare freedom, like the fresh air that they couldn't breathe in the city, made them both reluctant to return to Seoul.
When returning to Seoul, Noh Bok Joo also used her grandmother's essential skills - the trunk of the car that was empty after moving the gifts was filled with various kimchi and semi-finished pancakes, and even rice wine brewed by her grandmother herself.
If Jiang Zhaohuan didn't dislike eating fish, he would probably give away all the small fish fry in the fish pond.
Pei Zhuxuan saw that her grandmother was about to empty her refrigerator, so she reminded her at the right time:
"Grandma, you should save some for yourself. You can buy things like kimchi at the market."
How could Lu Fuzhu let her granddaughter suffer such an injustice? She said as she moved out:
"Oh my god, how can the food you buy at the market be as delicious as the food you make at home? Isn't there a parent in your team who lives overseas? Her parents definitely don't have time to come over and cook for her. You can give some to them."
Lu Fuzhu was also a chef when she was young, and the fried rice cake shop run by her family was originally where her grandmother worked.
The original shop owner went to China with his children to open a shop and do business, so she took out her savings to buy the shop and run it herself.
Therefore, the kimchi she makes tastes better than those in many stores, and the members of Red Velvet also love it.
Bae Joo-hyun smiled helplessly when she heard this. Every time they brought food back, the entire group would basically eat it together.
Sometimes, the schedule is so busy that I can’t finish the food and have to ask my assistant to help me.
She did not reject the kindness of her family, as it was their intention.
Jiang Zhaohuan drove the car full of things back to Seoul again. Before leaving, he did not forget to make an appointment with Pei's father to go sea fishing in Jeju Island together next time.
After returning to Seoul from Daegu, Bae Joo-hyun went straight back to the company to rehearse for the concert. She will be leaving for Fukuoka in two days, so practice must not be neglected.
Jiang Zhaohuan, who is unemployed, is not idle either. He also has to go back to the company today.
It’s just that I’m not going there to practice, I’m going there to renew my contract.
When the contract was signed, it was only for four years.
As most new actors' contracts start out at five or seven years, his treatment is truly rare in the industry.
Jiang Zhaohuan has not made any statement on whether to renew the contract during this period, which has caused panic among the company's shareholders.
Because they all knew whether Bae Suzy would stay or leave, they were very worried that the company's main actor Kang Do Hwan would also leave.
The company's top management is very aware of Do Hwan's current influence in the acting industry. In addition, the company's acting department has not been properly managed, and most of the resources are placed on the idol department, resulting in the loss of actor trainees and contracted actors.
There is no way, everyone wants to be valued by the company.
Moreover, as a newcomer, it is not easy to get an audition opportunity, let alone have the script handed to you personally.
If these two people leave JYP Entertainment together, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the company.
Even JYP Entertainment’s stocks should fall by several points.
Jiang Zhaohuan first went home to sort all the things into the kimchi refrigerator, and then drove to the company.
When the front desk receptionist saw that it was him, he quickly picked up the phone in front of him to notify the president Park Jin-young.
Jiang Zhaohuan nodded politely to her and took the elevator to the company's meeting room.
The elevator door slowly opened, and the girl walking towards them obviously didn't expect that there was someone standing outside. She rushed out rashly and bumped into Zhao Huan directly.
Jiang Zhaohuan was fine. Seeing that the girl was about to fall to the ground due to unstable balance, he quickly reached out to support her.
"Are you okay?" "I'm fine, thank you..."
Shin Yuna looked up at the boy who saved her. When she saw who he was, she was so scared that she retreated back into the elevator.
She never expected to run into Jiang Zhaohuan under such circumstances, and she hasn't explained the last misunderstanding yet!
Shen Liuzhen, who was riding in the same elevator, immediately thought of what happened between the two of them. She tried hard to suppress the upward curl of her lips and said with trembling lips:
"Hello, Senior Zhao Huan, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Zhaohuan's eyes were originally lingering on the girl who seemed to be afraid of him. To be honest, her backward movement was a bit like a rabbit.
But not a tiny rabbit, but a giant rabbit.
When he heard another person's voice in the elevator, he shifted his gaze and smiled faintly.
"You are Shin Ryujin, right?"
"Yes! I didn't expect that you still remember my name. It's my honor!"
Jiang Zhaohuan smiled when he heard that. He turned his head to look at the giant rabbit that seemed to be hesitant to speak, and suddenly remembered that the name of this female trainee seemed to be Shen Liuzhen.
He looked at "Shen Liuzhen" who didn't dare to look at him, and asked:
"If I remember correctly, your name is also 'Shen Liuzhen', right?"
"..."
Shin Yuna wanted to explain but didn't know what to say for a moment. She lowered her head, at a loss.
Shin Ryujin, who was standing nearby, saw her cute sister looking for help. She suppressed her smile again and helped explain:
"Senior, actually her name is Shin Yu-na. I was so nervous when I saw you last time that I said my name."
"Ok?"
Jiang Zhaohuan blinked his eyes. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing. He didn't think much about it and said with a smile,
"Then don't be so nervous when you debut. Name is still very important for an artist."
"Yes, Senior, I won't do that again."
Jiang Zhaohuan made way for the two to get out of the elevator. He smiled politely at them and took the elevator to the meeting room.
It wasn't until the elevator door closed that Shin Yu-na regained her energy. She held Shin Ryu-jin's hand and muttered:
"Oh my god, unnie, I'm so unlucky!"
"Isn't that lucky? Senior Do Hwan is more humble than you thought. If it were any other senior, he would definitely think you were playing a trick on him."
Shin Yuna thought about what happened at school. She didn't remember the last name of a senior, which led to her being isolated for a long time.
She thought of Jiang Zhaohuan's warm smile and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"That's right! It would be great if such a senior could always be in our company."
When Shen Liuzhen heard her say this, he suddenly thought of the news on the 1st and couldn't help but say:
"Speaking of which, it seems that Do Hwan-sempai's contract is up for renewal. It seems that his contract will expire next month, right?"
"Ouni, do you think that Senior's coming to the company at this time has something to do with the contract renewal?"
"It's possible, but this is not something we should worry about. Go buy some coffee and go back to practice."
"Go go!"
