Chapter 311: SM Again
"Senior, just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best!" Kim Taeyeon raised her head with a serious expression. Although her face was still flushed, Zheng Xiuheng's sincere tone made Kim Taeyeon serious.
Zheng Xiuheng took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Please help me take care of that little sister. Although she looks mature and cold on the outside, she is actually a child that cannot be trusted. Now that you know about our relationship , I would like to ask you to help take care of this child in the future. Of course, it is not a trust, but just a little more care in return..."
"Senior, there's no need to repay. This is what I should do!"
At the same time, he added in his heart: "Although our relationship is not very good."
Kim Taeyeon replied Zheng Xiuheng seriously, and once again felt Zheng Xiuheng's concern for Zheng Xiuyan. But she really didn't understand why Zheng Xiuyan would treat her brother like this.
Zheng Xiuheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "My reward is that if you are tired and want to eat delicious food, want to go out and play, but it is inconvenient, you can ask me for help. This is my gratitude!"
“Ah, I see. Well, then, then, let’s do this!”
Kim Taeyeon didn't want to refuse such a reward, but she felt a little embarrassed, so she answered hesitantly.
However, Jin Taeyeon suddenly remembered something, gritted her teeth, and asked carefully: "Senior, can I ask..."
"Because we are not biological siblings, okay, let's eat. Just order whatever you want. Today is our treat!" Zheng Xiuheng smiled and pushed the small plate of eel in front of Kim Taeyeon, and then started eating.
Kim Taeyeon stared at Zheng Xiuheng in a daze, her little mouth slowly opening. At this moment, all her misunderstandings and doubts became clear in an instant. She could also imagine that the relationship between them was more complicated than she had imagined.
However, Kim Taeyeon was a little surprised at this moment and couldn't figure out why her senior knew the question she wanted to ask.
"Don't look at me, eat. It's been a long time since we last met, but Xiao Xueqiu told me that you are now the captain, and the group is doing well, so you will debut soon, right?" Zheng Xiuheng asked casually after taking two bites. To be honest, although Zheng Xiuheng didn't see Kim Taeyeon's changes with his own eyes, he was a little surprised by Choi Sulli's description. It seems that this girl is much more mature than he thought.
"Well, there is still one and a half months!" Kim Taeyeon replied embarrassedly. After all, she was competing with Jessica Jung for the captain position, so it was a little unnatural. However, Kim Taeyeon didn't know that Zheng Xiuheng also knew about her and Jessica Jung. Choi Sulli was now Zheng Xiuheng's special intelligence agent.
It was because of this incident that Zheng Xiuheng came up with the idea of asking Kim Taeyeon for help. He used this method to stimulate Zheng Xiuyan and made her return to normal, which was indeed impressive.
"Do your best. With SM's situation, you will face huge pressure and powerful opponents as soon as you debut. I hope these will not overwhelm you, so you should be mentally prepared early, understand?" Zheng Xiuheng said seriously, hoping to pass this on to Kim Taeyeon to prevent them from debuting with naive ideas. Of course, this is basically because of Zheng Xiuyan.
Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Senior, are you talking about... JYP's WG? But we are just newcomers, will we become rivals?"
Zheng Xiuheng smiled and said, "Of course, the reports during this period are the direction of the wind. The effect of hype is always positive and negative. Of course, it is undeniable that WG's sudden success may have caught SM off guard, but according to SM's status and consistent behavior in the music industry, do they want to refute the rumor that they have no intention of competing with WG? So... I'm afraid this kind of report will accompany your debut. In fact, the entertainment industry is like that, so just be well prepared. Come and eat!"
Kim Taeyeon lowered her head blankly, as if she was thinking about Zheng Xiuheng's words, but this look did not last long. Kim Taeyeon returned to her normal state and started eating dinner.
Zheng Xiuheng was very satisfied with Kim Taeyeon's appearance. In fact, this reaction is really good, because it is impossible to get any results if you dwell on this kind of thing. For newcomers who are about to debut, the most important thing is to do what you can do. As for the rest, you just need to be mentally prepared.
The two sat together eating dinner, Zheng Xiuheng occasionally chatted with Kim Taeyeon, and Kim Taeyeon slowly relaxed. Then she talked about Zheng Xiuheng 's radio station and Zheng Xiuheng's music, and gradually, the atmosphere became much more lively.
During this time, Zheng Xiuheng also called the lovely Crystal Princess and explained that he would be home late and she didn't need to wait for him for dinner. Then she scolded him again and told him to go home early before hanging up the phone.
However, what Zheng Xiuheng did not expect was that after dinner, when he was about to say goodbye to Jin Taeyeon, Jin Taeyeon suddenly said, "Senior, can you walk with me and chat?"
"Huh? So suddenly? But... I've already said that I will accept it, but before that, I have other things to do, so I may not be able to do it today. If you have time the day after tomorrow, I can walk with you!"
"Okay, can we meet the day after tomorrow, Senior?"
"sure!"
After saying goodbye to Kim Taeyeon, Jung Soo-hyung drove to Han Ji-won's house. And Jung Da-bin, of course, let her go back after going to SM.
After playing for Han Ji-hyang, Zheng Xiuheng also went home. When he got home, he told Crystal Princess about the company's affairs, which immediately made her nervous. Although she is very happy to be with her brother every day, she is also afraid that her departure will have a bad influence on her sister.
Fortunately, she has a brother. Zheng Xiuheng's confident look gave Zheng Xiujing a lot of confidence.
In fact, as early as two years ago, Zheng Xiuheng became one of Zheng Xiujing's legal guardians. In addition to direct relatives, the law also stipulates that other close relatives and friends who are willing to assume guardianship responsibilities can become guardians of adults after obtaining consent from relevant departments.
Of course, Jessica Jung no longer needs a guardian now. She is already 18 years old. Although in Korea one is considered an adult at the age of 20, in reality most people are only 2 years old. Legally, 18 years old is considered a full adult.
Because in Korea, March of each year is the dividing point. Before March, two years are added to the Gregorian calendar age, and after March, one year is added. This is because they count the ten months in the mother's womb as one year, so generally, people are considered adults when they are nineteen years old.
But this matter doesn’t matter. After all, given Zheng Xiuheng’s current situation, there won’t be any obstacles even if he goes to handle the guardianship procedures now. So to some extent, Zheng Xiuheng is not too worried about SM.
The next morning, Zheng Xiuheng, wearing a black shirt and trousers, took Zheng Xiujing out early.
Coming to SM again, Zheng Xiuheng didn't have much nostalgia. In fact, he was quite familiar with this company. One reason was that his sisters were all here, so he knew about it. The other reason was that he had been here many times in the past.
"Brother, if I leave SM, will it affect my sister?"
Zheng Xiujing likes to wear dresses now, or rather, she likes to wear the clothes that Zheng Xiuheng bought for her. She wears a white dress, has long black hair, delicate features, and big eyes. She really looks like a little princess. Zheng Xiuheng has taken good care of her during this period, and her complexion looks very good.
But at this moment, worry appeared on Zheng Xiujing's face. To be honest, she was extremely nervous.
Zheng Xiuheng has changed back to his usual attire. Except for his hairstyle becoming more ordinary, Zheng Xiuheng, wearing glasses, has regained his teacher-like temperament. However, he looks more majestic than before, probably because of the few stubbles.
"Don't worry, don't you have your brother here? Besides, if SM really drives your sister away, the worst that can happen is that your brother will tie her up and take her back home!" Zheng Xiuheng comforted his sister with a smile. To be honest, he was not sure whether SM was that petty, but no matter what, he still had to meet the responsible person first. Moreover, the person Zheng Xiuheng wanted to meet had a very clear goal.
"You mean, Vice President Kim Young-min?"
"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist looked at Zheng Xiuheng and asked politely, then looked at Zheng Xiujing with a confused expression.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and said, "No, but you can help me contact him and tell him that I'm the guardian of trainee Zheng Xiujing and I'm here today to terminate the contract. I believe he should meet me!"
"Oh, yeah, I'll call them!" The receptionist was surprised and puzzled when she heard that they were here to terminate the contract. You know, there are so many people who want to become trainees in SM. Although the normal selection conferences don't seem to be anything special, in fact, the trainees are the ones who are left after the test of the wind and the waves. More than 99% of people are eliminated, especially for a company like SM, which is even stricter.
So when encountering such a thing, the receptionist could only contact the manager, and she did know Zheng Xiujing, so there was no need to doubt it. Since the other party explained the situation, the receptionist was also very straightforward and directly called Jin Yingmin's office. Anyway, whether they met or not was nothing to do with her.
Soon the receptionist hung up the phone and said politely, "Vice President Jin Yingmin, please come up!"
"Well, thank you!"
Zheng Xiuheng nodded, then pulled his sister towards the stairs next to them. Under the leadership of Zheng Xiujing, they soon arrived at the door of Kim Youngmin's office.
“Boom boom!”
"Come in!"
"Wait for me outside!" Zheng Xiuheng rubbed his sister's little head, then opened the office door and walked straight in.
