Chapter 128 Lee Hyo-ri's Grand Dream
Zheng Xiuheng's eyes widened, and he seemed shocked by Lee Hyori's words, but he calmed down after a while, frowned and asked: "Are you sure you are not joking?"
Lee Hyori nodded and smiled generously, "I have gained a lot now. Of course, I am not saying that I will quit now. I will just follow my own plan and do my future work step by step. I will also gradually reduce the number of announcements. After another five or six years, I will be a woman in my thirties. It won't be strange to quit the entertainment industry then!"
Zheng Xiuheng was relieved to hear such an explanation. He did not have the mentality of an artist. Instead, he nodded and said, "It's a good choice. Anyway, we only have a three-year contract. I won't worry about the future. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Lee Hyori was choked by Zheng Xiuheng's words, and her face instantly turned dark again. At this moment, she really wanted to bite this bastard to death.
"Phew, I'm not angry, I'm not angry. It's not worth getting angry with a guy with questionable emotional intelligence!"
After comforting herself in this way, Lee Hyori regained her sincere expression. She looked at Zheng Xiuheng very seriously and said something that shocked Zheng Xiuheng.
“Help me recruit all the members of Fin.KL and SES, I want to form a group!”
“…”
Zheng Xiuheng was a little slow to react. He just stood there, looking at Lee Hyo-ri's sincere expression. After a long while, he replied, "If you said I would help you get all the members of Fin.KL to the company, I could understand a little, but what about SES? You are rivals, right? There's still five or six years to wait. You are all in your thirties. Are you going to form a group of middle-aged women or hot moms to dance senior disco?"
"Asshole, can you say something nice?"
At this moment, Lee Hyori really wanted to kill Zheng Xiuheng. It felt like this bastard was doing it on purpose.
Zheng Xiuheng was simply expressing his own ideas. Although he had just mentioned that they could cover the other group's songs, he had never thought of bringing the two groups together. In his opinion, this should be impossible.
"What's so strange about this? Although we didn't communicate much in the past because of our competition, it was more because the competition among companies in the entertainment industry at that time was fierce. From companies to fans, they were basically hostile. But to be honest, I really like SES's songs. And when they were publicly recruiting SES members, I was the first member recruited. But I didn't like SM at that time, so I ran away!"
Zheng Xiuheng was shocked again. There is such a secret in love.
"So, whether you call it naive or inexplicable, I couldn't say it even if I admired them before, and I had to pretend that I couldn't listen to or sing their songs. But it's not right to say that we were enemies, it was more of an awkward relationship. But now that I think about it, I really want to work with them, especially Bada, even if it's just an album, I'll just treat it as a gift to myself before I quit, and put an end to my love!"
When Zheng Xiuheng saw Lee Hyori's expression, he suddenly laughed, but his laugh was very helpless.
"Lee Hyo-ri, you mean to ask me to find a way to recruit the members of these two groups to your side, or to persuade them to go crazy with you, for the sake of the ending you're looking forward to?"
"Do you think I'm sick?"
"Okay, you should go back and rest. Remember to take your medicine and rest early. I'm going back now!"
After saying that, Zheng Xiuheng reached out to open the car door, but Lee Hyo-ri suddenly grabbed him from behind, then took a big step and sat on Zheng Xiuheng, looking down at him.
"Listen to me , if you promise me this, I promise that as long as the company arranges my work properly and reasonably in the next three years, I will unconditionally renew my contract with the company after three years, and I will just pay you a small amount of signing bonus, but the premise is that you must promise me this, and at least let me see results within three years!"
Zheng Xiuheng was a little dazed, looking at the breasts in front of him, and raised his head after a while and asked, " Why don't you do this yourself? You have a higher chance of success than me, right?"
"What I want is the highest success rate. Besides, I still have my dignity to protect!"
Zheng Xiuheng looked at Lee Hyori's self-righteous expression and calculated carefully. In addition to Lee Hyori, in order to fulfill her requirements, he needed to deal with six women. On Fin.KL's side, Zheng Xiuheng believed that as long as Lee Hyori spoke up and had a good plan, the possibility was still very high.
But SES is different.
"I don't understand if this is a woman's sensibility or if you've suddenly gone crazy. Although emotionally I also want to see that kind of scene, rationally speaking, this thing is too difficult, not to mention that you will have to form a group and release an album at that time. If the result is not good, wouldn't your success be ruined in an instant? Have you ever thought about the impact this will have on others?" Zheng Xiuheng didn't mind Lee Hyori's domineering attitude, but asked very seriously.
Lee Hyori also replied sincerely, "I know, and I know it too. Let alone five years, even in three years, when I reach that age, unless I transform into an actor or host, or squander my popularity for a few more years like me, unless I am extremely lucky, I am afraid I won't be able to do well. I don't think there is anything wrong with my thoughts. As for whether the album will be successful, you don't have to worry about that!"
Zheng Xiuheng was helpless. He didn't want to accompany Lee Hyori to go crazy, and he didn't want to help her achieve any grand goals because he didn't know where to start.
Lee Hyori's goal is not simply to form a band. To be more realistic, she just thought about her future. She has been an artist for nearly ten years, and she doesn't know how long she has been living a year-round life after going solo. She doesn't want to be a robot anymore, so she will work hard while she still has the motivation. After she retires in her thirties, she can live an ordinary life, be a simple DJ, or do some behind-the-scenes work. All are good choices.
But before that, she needs to fulfill her delusion. With such expectations in her mind, Lee Hyori feels full of energy.
"I'm sorry, although I really want to agree to you, this is really hard for me to do. Can you come down now?"
"Don't refuse!"
Lee Hyori replied unreasonably, pushing Jung Soo-hyung on the chair with both hands , her expression extremely serious.
At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng suddenly felt that Lee Hyori was like a child, and this dream was too much to ask.
"If you promise me, in addition to what I just said, I can also promise to help you bring two trainees from DSP over. They are trainees with great potential!"
Lee Hyori suddenly tempted, which made Zheng Xiuheng even more amused and helpless.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but please seriously consider the reality. I haven't even entered this circle yet!"
"So, this is only for now, didn't you say that?"
"What!"
“You will succeed!”
Looking into Lee Hyo-ri's eyes, Zheng Xiuheng became a little dull. Lee Hyo-ri's eyes were very serious, without any ridicule or misunderstanding, and Zheng Xiuheng even saw a little encouragement.
Seeing Zheng Xiuheng not replying for a long time, Lee Hyo-ri's face suddenly turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "At worst, I can give you another benefit!"
"What?"
"Be your fuck buddy!"
“Hmm!”
Zheng Xiuheng was instantly injured internally. At this moment, he felt that Lee Hyori's brain was occupied by aliens.
However, Lee Hyori is Lee Hyori. Now that she has discovered her feelings, she will not keep them in her heart on purpose. That is not her character. But at the same time, she is not to the point where she wants to actively confess to Jung Soo-heng, not to mention that she would find it too embarrassing to do so, because the object of her love is the obviously annoying Jung Soo-heng, and similarly, Jung Soo-heng doesn't seem to be very interested in her.
Lee Hyo-ri admitted that she had a crush on Jung Soo-heng and they had that kind of relationship, so Lee Hyo-ri made a straightforward decision, of course, more out of the woman's concern. The way Jung Soo-heng's pants looked before made Lee Hyo-ri feel that a normal man, especially a beast like Jung Soo-heng, might turn around and look for a woman.
If you want love, you have to grab it, no matter what you do. However, because of the relationship between Lee Hyori and Jung Soo-heng, she would never take the initiative to say words like "Let's date" or "Let's get along well". But she was afraid that Jung Soo-heng would go out and find a prostitute, so she said such domineering words in the heat of the moment, although she regrets it now.
"I'm really crazy. It's just a little bit of affection. What am I talking about?"
Lee Hyori wanted to take back her words, but she didn't know how to say it. At this moment, she could only pretend to be calm.
After thinking a lot, a cold wind blew in from the car window. Zheng Xiuheng suddenly looked at Lee Hyori with sudden enlightenment. The look in his eyes, as if he saw through everything, made Lee Hyori a little scared.
"What are you looking at!"
“I finally understand!”
"Understand what?"
"So you gave so many reasons and talked for so long just to confess your feelings to me, right?" Zheng Xiuheng seemed to see what was in Lee Hyori's mind and said seriously. He didn't look narcissistic but more like stating the facts. Somehow, Lee Hyori thought this guy seemed quite cute.
However, Lee Hyori was speechless at this moment. For the first time, she felt that Zheng Xiuheng's emotional intelligence had become outrageously low.
