Chapter 31 You're not going to run away again, are you?
The next morning, Lin Yuan arrived at the company with his back aching and his lips pale. He looked at Li Zhi'en with some resentment. It was clearly a two-person activity, yet Li Zhi'en had a rosy complexion and was full of energy.
No, I need to go back and find a remedy to help him recover. This is a matter of a man's dignity, so I can't be careless!
"Ah-du~ Ah-du~"
Lin Yuan took out his phone; it was a message from Lizhi.
[Congratulations to Oppa for topping the Melon charts, ranking 20th in Asia, and in the iTunes top 50!]
Huh? Am I that awesome?!
Lin Yuan quickly opened various platforms, and it was even more impressive than Huang Lizhi had said. Even the music video had 1300 million views on YouTube, and that was without much promotion. Most of those views were probably from Lee Ji-eun's fans.
Thinking of the little girl all alone at JYP, he quickly replied to the message, "Thanks, Lychee. How are you doing at JYP? Is anyone bullying you?"
Hwang Ye-ji's face lit up with joy, and her fingers tapped rapidly on the screen. "I'm fine, just a little tired. My unnie hasn't replied to my messages." She added a crying emoji at the end.
"I'll come see you when Oppa is done with his work. You know Eun unnie is busy, so you'll be back later."
Hwang Ye-ji was just testing the waters to see if her oppa and unnie had forgotten her, because she was afraid of losing two people who cared about her.
"What are you doing, unnie? Let me see."
Shin Yoo-na, who was standing nearby, ran over mischievously and tried to snatch it away.
She quickly typed a sentence and then put her phone away.
"Okay~ I won't disturb Oppa's work anymore, remember to come visit me~"
Then he covered his chest with both hands, making a no-go gesture.
"Stop, class is about to start, be careful PDnim doesn't spot us."
Seeing this, Shin Yoo-na had no choice but to give up and sat down with a pitiful expression.
Lin Yuan pushed open the door and walked into the conference room. He looked up and saw the smiling woman opposite him, and was instantly startled. "You... what are you doing here!"
Mieko was very unhappy with his expression and rolled her eyes at him.
She, a young lady from a wealthy family, traveled all the way to Seoul for him, hoping for a romantic meeting, but now it seems she can't count on it at all. After all, this man is a creature driven entirely by his lower body and has no sense of romance whatsoever.
Shin Won-soo sat quietly to the side, watching the show with an expression of utter surprise.
Lee Ji-eun, on the other hand, stared at Mieko with her big, watery eyes, crossing her arms as if trying to cheer herself up.
Mieko completely ignored her, giving her a disdainful look before turning away and saying to Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan-san, long time no see!"
He then got up, walked over, and gave her a gentle hug.
Hiss~
Creak! Creak!
The meeting room fell silent for a moment, with everyone speculating about the relationship between the two.
Lin Yuan stood there dumbfounded, his girlfriend still beside him. This woman was incredibly bold.
He quickly took a step back. "I'm sorry, Mieko, please have some self-respect."
He then walked over and sat down next to Lee Ji-eun.
Frustrated, I should have found an excuse not to come; this was just asking for trouble.
Judging from Lee Ji-eun's expression, she's definitely angry, and the key is that we can't appease her right now.
This Mieko is no pushover either; it seems she holds a fairly high position at Sony.
Mihoko paused for a moment, then quickly regained her composure, smoothing her skirt and completely ignoring his rudeness.
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Shin Won-soo coughed lightly, "Now that everyone's here, shall we sign the contract first? I'll arrange for us to have lunch together later."
Mihoko nodded in agreement, which made Lin Yuan feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't refuse in public. He could only hope that the two of them wouldn't fight.
Both lawyers carefully reviewed the contract, and after confirming there were no problems, both parties signed their names.
Aside from Lin Yuan being a lucky charm, Sony's offer was incredibly generous, with a price even higher than the endorsement fee for the three famous Chinese caravans in Chungmuro, leaving everyone except Lin Yuan somewhat puzzled.
Mieko hadn't taken it seriously until she received a call from her father last night.
"Mieko, offer them the highest contract price for tomorrow. As long as we don't lose money, let them name their price."
"Father, why is this?"
"He is Hong Sheng's youngest son, so we must give him face."
Mihoko was almost questioning her existence. If it weren't for her father being in front of her, she would have thought it was April Fool's Day.
What kind of decent person would give up a life as a rich kid to become a male model? Are they crazy?
But now that I think about it, if she had been able to win over Hong Sheng's second son, she would undoubtedly have become the next chairman of Sony.
"Lin Yuan-san, I'm really looking forward to it~" She licked her lips and subconsciously touched her stomach.
The contract was quickly signed, and Shen Yuanxiu solemnly instructed his secretary to put it away carefully. This was evidence for him to curry favor with his superiors, and it couldn't be left lying around.
He glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Miss Mieko, it's still early. How about I have Lin Yuan show you around?"
Lin Yuan was about to refuse immediately: "President, I...", but was interrupted by Shen Yuanxiu the next second.
Shen Yuanxiu glared at him fiercely, completely forgetting the existence of that lawyer Zhang.
"Then I shall respectfully comply."
Mieko looked at Lin Yuan, raised an eyebrow, and gave him a flirtatious wink. "Then... I'll have to trouble you, Lin Yuan-san!"
Lin Yuan secretly winked at Li Zhi'en, indicating that he would explain to her later, and then followed Mei Huizi out amidst her aggrieved gaze.
Along the way, people kept being drawn to the two of them. Aside from Lin Yuan's good looks, he was, after all, an artist of the company, and people saw him every day.
The main reason for the surprise was Mihoko standing next to them. Not only was she beautiful and tall, but she also had an extraordinary presence. It was clear at a glance that she was an important person. Considering that Sony was here to sign a contract today, everyone bowed to her without prior arrangement.
Before they knew it, the two arrived at a trophy room, which contained all the awards that IU and her artists had received, all of which were kept here as souvenirs.
Mieko glanced around casually, then suddenly stopped and turned around.
Lin Yuan was considering how to apologize to Lee Ji-eun when he unconsciously rubbed his kidneys and accidentally bumped into her.
"Hmm~"
Mihoko let out a muffled groan, which was particularly alluring, and Lin Yuan almost fired his gun.
But remembering his identity, he immediately loosened his grip on her, wanting to break free and leave, but the woman held him tightly, making it impossible for him to move.
"Mieko, you..."
"Lin Yuan-san, I've been looking for you for ages~" She reached out and touched Lin Yuan's lips, gently blowing a breath.
Lin Yuan couldn't possibly resist. This woman was practically a vixen, a trap from head to toe, and one could easily fall into her trap without realizing it.
"Mieko, can you let go of my hand first? Let's talk slowly."
"You won't run away again, will you?"
Mieko asked with a look of disbelief, after all, this scoundrel had a criminal record.
"Of course not. I'm just an employee now. I still have the contract with me. I can't run away even if I wanted to."
Lin Yuan already regrets becoming this singer; now he's in a dilemma.
Lee Ji-eun is his girlfriend. He can't just abandon her and run away. What about all those years of waiting? The girl might go crazy.
Mihoko thought about it and agreed. Taking advantage of his inattention, she quickly kissed him and then let go.
