Chapter 3 Growth and Future
After the outbreak of the Gulf War, the Lee family took Junsoo back to Seoul (although Seoul was still called Seoul at this time, but the article was no longer written as Seoul, and they were collectively called Seoul.) After returning to Seoul, Zhang Junsoo's nationality became a problem again. They always hoped that Junsoo could be added to the US nationality, but due to the war, it was very difficult for Iraq to become an American nationality. It was relatively simple to join South Korea's nationality, but Iraq, which was chosen to join in order to legally evade military service, isn't what he did now before returning to South Korea's nationality to be in vain?
(I checked the issue of exemption from military service. There is no description of orphans exemption from service. Junxiu is an orphan. Maybe I don’t understand it. Please don’t worry about this issue.)
Now the Zhang family is only left with Junxiu. For the sake of Korean nationality, the Li family will feel uneasy. After all, in the end, the Zhang family personally entrusted Junxiu to their family, and they also took Junxiu as their biological son to take care of him.
Now that ten years have passed, the pain of losing his parents has gradually faded. Junxiu continued to show his excellent side as he grew up. In the eyes of adults, what is not about whether a child is good enough is not about whether he understands or not, but about the transcript he brought back after every exam since he went to school! However, Junxiu's grades have always been among the best in his age, and his grades have not fallen out of the top three in the senior year every time.
Not only does he have excellent academic performance, he loves sports particularly. He is definitely an activist every sports meeting held by the school. He wants to sign up for all the projects alone. Moreover, his sports performance has even received the attention of some sports schools that specialize in the development of sports.
I won’t talk about his excellent sports, but also his musical talent that is even better than sports. His piano and violin strength far exceeds that of the school’s music teachers. Every time the school holds a school anniversary meeting, a new anniversary meeting, athletic meeting, etc., Junxiu always stands on the rostrum to perform for everyone, from instrumental performances to singing performances.
The most important thing is that he has a handsome face and a good temper that can get along with anyone. In addition, he has excellent financial conditions and is generous and caring for his classmates. He has been the king of children since he was a child. In school, no matter whether he is in his class or in other people's class, even if he doesn't like Junxiu, he at least doesn't hate Junxiu.
In this way, he went from junior high school to high school and went to a talent school.
However, during this period, the Li family's uncle founded S.M Entertainment Company. However, Junxiu became the first batch of trainees in the company, but there was no word "trainee" during this period. Junxiu just learned pop music, modern dance, and some music creations and productions with her brother (h.o.t) in her uncle's company.
During this period, Junxiu fell in love with modern music frantically. He followed Li Xiuman and Yu Yongzhen to learn lyrics and music creation. Ten years have passed since the musical talent that these two people showed in the face of Junxiu had no words except to lament him as a monster. He began to go from lyrics and music creation, to album production, to stage design, visual design, lighting design, performance costume design...
Junsu is like a sponge, crazyly absorbing all kinds of knowledge about the entertainment industry. After learning from Lee Soo-man, Junsu went to learn from Seo Tae-chi and then to Park Jin-young. He has a strong desire for knowledge about music. He even has a cute nickname called "chewing gum" among the seniors in the circle. Because once he is stuck with him, he will come to pester you every time he goes to a music program, ask you, and learn the knowledge and concepts of music. And he can't scold or drive away.
Of course, Junxiu is a child, and with his cute appearance, many people like him very much, so when faced with his musical questions, everyone will sincerely answer and teach him.
In this way, Junxiu has been struggling in the entertainment industry for 10 years. At the same time, in these 10 years, he can be said to have gathered the leaders of the Korean music circle. Although he has not made his debut, he is already very famous in the music circle. Because of his cute and handsome appearance, he has many invitations from crews, etc., but all of them were rejected by Li's mother.
.........
At the dinner table of the Lee family, Li's mother, Junsu, Sungui, and Yingui. Lee's mother watched her excellent 'son' put all the delicious meat in front of him, and kept picking meat into Junsu's bowl: "Son, you are growing up now, eat more meat, and tomorrow o-ma will buy you some beef bone soup."
Since Yin Kee is almost thirty years old, she likes Junsoo very much. In addition, she has taken care of Junsoo since she was a child. She is also a "half mother". So, she is used to the doting of Junsoo by her mother, and she is not dissatisfied with it. Who told them that Junsoo is the only boy in their family?
The youngest daughter Shungui picked up a piece of fried meat and put it in her mouth. When she heard her mother's bias, she almost bit off the stainless steel chopsticks. She shouted in dissatisfaction, "O-ma, you are too biased, buy everything for Oppa. As for me, if I want to eat pork belly, you won't buy it for me."
"Ah...Sun Kyu!!! Don't think I don't know. Junxiu gives you at least 50,000 pocket money every week." After saying this, Li's mother once again turned her attention to Junxiu. "Junxiu, how can you give middle school students 50,000 pocket money a week? It's enough to give up at most 10,000. Although I know you have earned a lot, you can't help spending like this, right? Speaking of making money, you are not as big as you. How old are you? Why do you make so much money?" In this era, 50,000 is a lot of money.
Speaking of money, Junxiu was a billionaire after returning to China, but the money was always held in Li's mother's hand. This was Junxiu's "wife" that Junxiu's adult Li's mother would not be given to him. However, not long after Junxiu came back, his memory seemed to be telling him to buy land in Jiang/Nan. Yes, it was to buy land. At that time, Jiang/Nan was not very expensive. Of course, compared with now.
Junxiu tangled Li's mother to buy land. Buying land is a fixed asset in the mind of the older generation. She knew that buying land is an investment that would never lose money. Therefore, in the Asian financial crisis in 1997, Junxiu began to buy stores and residential properties in Jiangnan District with nearly 200 billion yuan. In recent years, the economy has gradually recovered. Although the real estate industry has not doubled very quickly, the value of Junxiu's real estate assets has at least doubled. He is also a quasi-rich man. The name of the real estate certificate is Junxiu, but the things are in the hands of Li's mother.
At that time, Li Xiuman also followed Junxiu's advice and took the opportunity to buy a piece of land from Kai Ou Ting and bought it and became the current S.M.
Over the past few years, Junxiu's pocket money has been collected from the store and rented out the house, and the boy lives a very comfortable life. Li's mother never asked him what the money he collected for was used for. After all, Junxiu is more mature than her peers.
Faced with Li's mother's blame, Junxiu just smiled happily and responded: "o-ma, this is the tradition of our Li family. Don't you know? When I was angry, those who often secretly gave me a lot of pocket money. Hahaha..."
As for why Junxiu kept thinking about making money and making a lot of money. He never said this, it was because his parents lost their lives just to make money. His father could never come back for the 100 million US dollars of goods. So Junxiu’s dream is to make money! Make a lot of money!!
As for what he wants to do after making money? This is something he never thought about, and he didn't know. Anyway, he felt that he was just making money for money!! Not for what he was making money.
Junxiu said the so-called "Li family tradition" and made Li's mother laugh helplessly. The eldest and second sisters really took good care of Junxiu, and they both made money when Junxiu was in junior high school, so it was normal to give pocket money to this only child in the family.
After laughing, Junsu spoke again: "o-ma, I want to transfer to school."
"Hey? Transferring to school? Why?" Junxiu's words scared Li's mother. Junxiu is a recognized learning genius in their family. He is now receiving talent education. Judging from his current grades, there is no problem for him to go to Seoul University in the future. Li's mother even wants to send Junxiu to Harvard and Cambridge to further studies.
"I feel like I'll be stupid when I stay with those nerds every day. And it's hard to take leave at the Talent School. I don't think I'll have enough time to practice after school, so I want to go to Kent Foreign Language School."
"Junxiu, is my uncle urging you to be an artist again? You are just a piece of material for studying, so don't waste it."
"O-ma, I like music more than reading. I am happy when I study music, and I am excited when I perform for everyone. Reading, I think it is just a process that makes me understand the truth. Now, I don't say it all, but at least I can distinguish right from wrong. I also know very well what I pursue, so I think there is nothing wrong with being an artist. Moreover, a-ba has created an agency by himself, and I also want to practice the music I learned by myself."
When Lee Soon-gyu heard Junsu talking about going to their company, she happily shouted, "Okay, OK, oppa, come to the company to practice. I, as a senior, can take care of you."
