For all artists who debuted, there are a few people who have never been beaten, bullied by the company's seniors, corporal punishment by teachers, and unspoken rules by shareholders.

It can also be said that the more trending artists are, they all survive from being beaten.

"Who's out there?"

Just as Choo was about to follow a clerk to Lee Hyun-cheol's office, the door to the director's office suddenly opened.

Jung Yoon-ho had a wooden face, and after seeing that the person standing at the door was Lee Hyun-chul, his expression loosened a lot.

"Brother......

"Come on, come in, the teacher is angry. ”

Jung Yunho nodded, glanced at Choo So-jing, who was slightly pale behind Lee Hyun-cheol, and didn't say anything more.

"Father. ”

Li Xiuman raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his cold eyes glanced at Li Xianzhe and Qiu Sojing.

"Huh?"

"Ah...... Ani Ya Seyo!!"

Qiu Suojing was a spirit, stumbling and bending ninety degrees in front of him.

Plop ~ Plop ~

Li Xiuman's eyes seemed to see her whole person through, and the invisible superior coercion made her legs tremble.

"Whew...... Have a seat. ”

"Inside...... Inside!

At this moment, Qiu Suojing was like an ownerless pet, grabbing Li Xianzhe's cuffs and standing against the sofa next to him.

Looking at the reactions of Lee Hyun-cheol and Jung Yoon-ho, it is as if they have experienced this occasion many times.

On the burgundy carpet, the three boys knelt side by side, and the identities of the three were judged just from the back of Li Xianzhe.

"Where's Kris?"

"I'm sorry teacher, but we... I don't know. ”

The hesitation of the three of them looking at each other was clearly seen by Li Xiuman, and a feeling of being deceived echoed in his heart.

"Don't know?" Li Xiuman's eyes widened, and the teacup in his hand was almost thrown out by him.

"Teacher, Kris... There should be something, we can't contact him, and he should be back after a while. ”

"After a while, can you tell me, how long is it? an hour, a day, or a month, a year?"

After repeated inquiries, Li Xiuman's tone became more and more cold with each paragraph, making the heads of the three kneeling on the ground hang lower.

"I ...... I ......"

"Tao, control yourself. ”

As for the person who interceded for Kris, he was pulled by the person next to him, as if he was about to explode.

"Father...... Never mind. ”

Li Xianzhe squinted his eyes at the person kneeling in the middle, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

Li Xiuman turned his head away, glanced at Li Xianzhe's gaze, couldn't help but close his eyes and took a deep breath, raised his hand and waved it vigorously.

"Go back, you three, you must keep your mouths tight lately. ”

"Inner ......"

The three people on the ground nodded meekly, and helped each other to get up and leave.

“luhan，tao，lay......”

Lee Hyun-cheol stood aside with his hands on his chest, and his impression of these three people was only in the fragments of memory in his mind.

This is the first time that we have had face-to-face contact.

After the door was closed for a long time, Lee Hyun-cheol picked up an orange on the table, peeled it, and gave it to Lee so-man, Jung Yoon-ho, and Choo So-jung.

The strong sweet and sour position relieved the mood of several people a lot.

"Who is this?"

Li Xiuman only began to look at Qiu Suojing at this time.

"A new trainee in my company. ”

"Oh, it's good-looking, and you can make your debut with a little training. Li Xiuman thought that Li Xianzhe brought the trainees over to let him check the gates.

It's just that the more I look at Li Xiuman, the more I feel that this little girl standing next to Li Xianzhe seems to have a very unusual relationship with Li Xianzhe.

Since Lee Hyun-cheol's return to Japan, the father and son have developed the habit of using Kakao Talk to communicate.

Lee Hyun-cheol's information about his girlfriend Lee so-man also knew it for the first time, but he hadn't seen Kim Ji-ni's photo.

Today, when I saw Li Xianzhe bring a girl over, I thought this was it.

"She's your girlfriend?"

"Forehead ......"

For a while, Qiu Suojing's face turned weirdly red, and her little hands kept holding the clothes and playing with her fingers.

This reaction Li Xianzhe turned his back so he didn't see it, but he was seen by Li Xiuman, if he really didn't have the slightest favor, he would have opened his mouth to refute it.

It is normal for men and women to know each other and have a good impression of each other, but it is another thing to have no relationship later.

Li Xiuman pulled the corners of his mouth, and even Zheng Yunhao, who didn't insert a sentence on the side, had a much more playful expression.

Lee Hyun-cheol knew his father's character, and he didn't bother to refute it.

Thinking of the moment before, the three people turned their heads to look out of the door, Li Xianzhe pondered for a moment and said, "Father just now, you shouldn't have done this." ”

"What do you have to do about it. ”

According to Li Xiuman's way, when the company encounters disobedient artists on weekdays, they are reprimanded and beaten, and then grounded, and the agent is strictly ordered to be optimistic about the other party and cancel all trips.

But Li Xianzhe is like this, it is clear that he has already made a decision, and Li Xiuman, who is used to dictatorship on weekdays, has changed his attitude for the first time.

"They haven't been able to get S. m break the rules of the capital, the road is their own choice. ”

"Them?"

"Following the previous practice, one of them has already made the mind of defecting, and the others, will it be far away? M and what news was released from Kris's side, there is a fact that is iron-clad. ”

Lee Hyun-cheol looked directly into Lee so-man's eyes and smiled, "From the beginning, among the four of them, some of them are not as important as their own teammates and brothers in their hearts. There's nothing to explore in depth, and there's nothing to defend. I even helped them think of the reasons for terminating the contract, the company didn't take care of their dreams, forced them to go on stage without considering their injured bodies, and so on.

In the entertainment industry in this country, there are more people who are more tired than them, saying that because of their music dreams, they really take their own music path after quitting, so it's almost the same to deceive those little girl fans who have little social experience.

To put it bluntly, I just feel that it takes too much to stay, and I don't want to bear it in my heart, but I am eager for glory and pursuit, and he is a smart person, and for him, quitting exo is painless and itchy, and there is no loss. ”

Li Xiuman looked surprised: "It's rare to hear from your mouth that you take the initiative to praise an idol." ”

It stands to reason that Lee Hyun-cheol and EXO have not interacted with each other before, and they can see through the substance of things without seeing him, which is rare.

"To survive successfully in this circle, scheming is indispensable, but unfortunately, if he doesn't make such a decision, I would be happy to make friends with him. It's just, s.. M is not a place where he can come and go when he wants, and today's Kris, who is not the previous Han Geng, the gap between the two can not be explained in a word. ”

Li Xianzhe pouted, the reason why Han Geng made such a big fuss in the first place was not only backed by his popularity in Huaxia, but also by the government.

At that time, the two countries were still in the honeymoon period, and the lawsuit and everything ended hastily, and the two sides did not tear up, which was placed in stark contrast to the third member of EXO who terminated the contract a few years later.
