Li Yuhao looked at the tearful Park In-jeong and nodded seriously, saying, "I will always protect you." Park In-jeong recalled the words her grandmother had said while holding her hand when she passed away, and she said with a smile, "In-jeong, Grandma won't be able to see my future son-in-law. If you meet someone who is willing to protect you for life, then marry him. When the time comes, don't forget to bring him to my grave so I can give him a once-over."
Hearing Li Yuhao's promise, Park In-jeong threw herself into his arms and burst into tears again. Li Yuhao patted her back to comfort her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Your eyes are all swollen. Seriously... are you blowing your nose on me? Oh no, oh no. My costume designer is going to be mad. This is a borrowed sponsored outfit." Of course, Li Yuhao was joking.
When Park In-jeong heard that the outfit was borrowed, she got up from Li Yuhao's arms. Li Yuhao smiled and held her face with both hands, wiping away her tears with his thumbs. He gazed at her beautiful face and slowly leaned in, wanting to kiss her.
Park In-jeong also slowly closed her eyes. Just as she was about to receive her first kiss, the phone rang, and she immediately opened her eyes. Li Yuhao groaned, "Oh no~~~" "Who is it, calling at such a crucial moment? This timing is really perfect, making me so angry."
Li Yuhao picked up the phone next to him and saw it was his manager calling. He was also quite upset, and Park In-jeong stopped crying, turning her face away. Li Yuhao took a deep breath and answered, "Manager, what's up?"
"Oh? Your tone sounds off. Did I interrupt something good? But I have to tell you, I've already set up a meeting with Kim Gwang-soo. You should come to the company now. As for the other things, you can do them when you get home." The location was set at LOEN, which Li Min-phil had thought about carefully. At least Kim Gwang-soo wouldn't dare to be too disrespectful in front of him, and he could mediate the situation.
Hearing his manager's strongly implied words, Li Yuhao's head was filled with three black lines. "Got it, I'll be there."
Park In-jeong, hearing that Li Yuhao was going out, asked, "Are you going out?"
"Yeah, our manager has set up a meeting with Kim Gwang-soo. I'll go talk to him about this and tell him not to have any more ideas about you. I'll make it clear to him that you, Park In-jeong, are my woman. Don't argue because I already said I will always protect you. Wait for me at home." After saying this, Li Yuhao rubbed Park In-jeong's head and got up to leave.
Hearing Li Yuhao say, "You are my woman," Park In-jeong felt an immense sense of security, believing that Li Yuhao could protect her from anything. Seeing Li Yuhao get up, she also stood up and saw him off to the door. Li Yuhao smiled and waved at her, "Wait for me."
Park In-jeong nodded and beckoned him with her finger, "OPPA, come here, I have something to tell you."
Li Yuhao walked back and looked at her, "What is it? Do you want me to bring something for you?"
Park In-jeong beckoned him again with her finger, and Li Yuhao lowered his head. She boldly tiptoed and lightly kissed his lips, "I'm putting my stamp on you, so you're mine now. Oh, and my ** size is XXXXXX. Remember to bring it back for me." After saying this, Park In-jeong ran back to her room.
Park In-jeong ran back to her room and hid in Li Yuhao's bed, covering herself completely. Li Yuhao touched his lips and smiled as he left his dorm.
......
Li Yuhao called his manager on his way out, telling him he was going to the company and asking him to come over and return the car to Han Seong-ju.
When Li Yuhao arrived at the meeting room, Kim Gwang-soo was already there. Li Yuhao sat directly across from him, staring at him intently. If it weren't for the manager, he would have punched Kim Gwang-soo.
Li Min-phil, seeing Li Yuhao's expression, coughed, "Li Yuhao, I've already talked to Kim Gwang-soo. He didn't know about your relationship with Park In-jeong beforehand." At this point, Li Min-phil winked at Li Yuhao, as he only knew that Li Yuhao and Park In-jeong were friends.
Li Min-phil continued, "President Kim has promised that this will not happen again. However, Park In-jeong has a five-year no-dating rule. You should be aware of this. Besides our company, other agencies have similar rules for both male and female idols and trainees."
"I've also discussed with President Kim that the fact of your relationship with Park In-jeong must not be discovered by the media. Even if it is, both our companies will deny it to avoid affecting the development of their girl group. So, you two should be careful about where you go on dates and try to keep a low profile. President Kim will pretend not to know about your relationship and will not interfere with it."
"As for how far your relationship goes, neither President Kim nor I will interfere. However, we both agree that you must not get married within eight years, not even in secret."
Li Yuhao laughed, "Pfft, I wouldn't get married in secret. I'm not like that... the actress in 'Beethoven Virus' recently."
"Lee Ji-ya?"
"Right, her. She's already a mother of two, did you know? She's been divorced for two years. Do you know who her husband was? It will shock you."
Li Min-phil, curious, asked, "Lee Ji-ya got married and divorced? No... that's just a rumor, right? She's known for being mysterious." Lee Ji-ya became famous after starring in 'Taewang Ssin-gi' with Bae Yong-joon and is currently starring in 'Beethoven Virus' with Jang Geun-suk.
Li Yuhao leaned in and whispered to Li Min-phil, "Her husband... no, ex-husband, is Seo Tae-ji!!" Hearing this, Li Min-phil was stunned, "No... really? How is that possible?"
Kim Gwang-soo was also curious about who Li Yuhao was talking about but didn't want to ask.
"Manager, you can't hide the truth forever. If you do something, it will eventually be known. The entertainment industry is too dark. I believe there will be a shake-up one day, and the prosecution will not be lenient. Manager, just wait and see." Li Yuhao's words were clearly a veiled threat, and Kim Gwang-soo frowned.
Li Min-phil said to Li Yuhao, "Li Yuhao, whether there's a shake-up or not is not our concern. Your job is to sing well. President Kim has given you his promise, so let's consider this matter settled. What do you think?"
Li Yuhao nodded and said to Kim Gwang-soo, "Alright, President Kim. I know you have the backing of CJ Group, and the pressure on you is great. But you shouldn't use dirty tactics to gain 'power.' This 'power' is a time bomb that could explode at any moment. I advise you not to bring trouble upon yourself. CJ Group values results, and you know that better than anyone. If you treat Park In-jeong and the others well, I can ensure they will achieve great success."
"By the way, I have one last piece of advice, which might sound harsh. You can choose to ignore it, but there's a saying in China: 'What you do, heaven sees. Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished.' It's best not to use dishonorable means."
Kim Gwang-soo nodded, "I understand the principle of 'good deeds bring good rewards, and evil deeds bring evil rewards.' I don't need you to remind me. I won't interfere with your relationship with Park In-jeong. However, I hope you will help them more. The competition for girl groups is fierce. When the 'cake' is small, people become like 'wolves' when they are hungry."
Li Yuhao smiled, "The cake may be small, but if you have the ability, you can become the one who cuts it, and you will have enough for yourself. To put it simply, I'm not from the Red Cross, and I've experienced hunger. I know what people will do when they are desperate. I can't control others, but I can ensure that the people around me won't go hungry."
Both Li Yuhao and Kim Gwang-soo were speaking in code, but everyone in the room understood the meaning.
Kim Gwang-soo, having received Li Yuhao's answer, nodded, "Alright, that's all I needed to hear. I won't disturb you further. Manager, I'll be going." With that, Kim Gwang-soo left.
Li Min-phil said, "Alright, the matter is settled. He thinks you're releasing your album to undermine him. I told him that your single release was a company decision. If D**ICHI wants to 'ride the wave,' why can't we make the 'wave' even bigger? He can only blame himself for not communicating with us beforehand."
After finishing the serious talk, Li Min-phil started gossiping, "By the way, how did you know about Lee Ji-ya and Seo Tae-ji's marriage?"
Li Yuhao simply said, "Ask Baidu..."
