"Really? You're kidding, right? "
"Ah, who's kidding you!"
After Choi Joon-hyuk absorbed the contents of Xu Zhixuan's call, his first reaction was to wonder if Xu Zhixuan was sick. Moreover, he was seriously sick for him to say such foolish words. In order to get close to the other shareholders of the Lotte Cinema chain, he could not force them, but only tempt them. Therefore, there was no result. Some people even refused to meet Choi Joon-hyuk when they heard that he was doing this for the shareholders.
"But, this … this is really puzzling!"
Xu Zhixuan smiled. He did not expect such an outcome. Even if the hatred between the two families due to the betrayal and the loss of their foundation had been resolved, even if Xu Zhixuan was replaced by Xin Dongzhu, she would not give away such a golden egg like the cinema chain. It could only be said that Xin Dongzhu's courage was far beyond Xu Zhixuan's.
"It's like this, they did it for the past … So, now that you know, what do you think?"
After listening to Xu Zhixuan's explanation, Choi Joon-hyuk laughed and said, "What else can I think? Of course, I accept them! Even if your plan succeeds and Park Jinhye becomes the president, you won't be able to deal with the alliance of the three parties. Now that you've divided one party and roped in another, which party do you think we should roped in? "
"Haha, nonsense, of course it's the Choi family!"
Xu Zhixuan was not surprised by Choi Joon-hyuk's quick thinking. If he could not even think of this, then Choi Joon-hyuk would not have become Xu Zhixuan's spokesperson to deal with the various forces. Even after Xu Zhixuan left the Xin family residence, Xu Zhixuan had already decided on which family to rope in.
"Uh, that's true. SK's Choi Taiyuan is still around, but there's no Zheng Mengjiu in the modern era. If it were me, I would make the same choice!"
Do not underestimate this group of old people. Did they not know that having an old man in the family was like having a treasure? Did they not know that when an old general went out, he was worth two? Most importantly, after Zheng Mengjiu's suicide in the modern era, it could be said that the power of the modern Zheng family was far beyond that of the other two families. The family's internal strife had never stopped.
Most importantly, after Xu Zhixuan, Zheng Yixuan, Zheng Yixuan, who asked Xu Zhixuan? After all, the Antipressure Society. After Xu Zhixuan had returned, Zheng Yixuan. Zheng. Yixuan had always, Yixuan....... the Yixuan.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you. I still have to film a show!"
Choi Joon-hyuk was a little confused. Why was Xu Zhixuan still rushing his schedule when he already had such a big career? If he became an actor for Li Shunzai or for his hobby, he could understand. But Choi Joon-hyuk did not understand why he was preparing to go back to the entertainment industry after so long.
"Zhixuan, there's something I think you should know. Our career is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm under a lot of pressure, so …"
Xu Zhixuan was stunned. He did not expect Choi Joon-hyuk to say this. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized he was wrong. He only cared about talking, and everything was done by Choi Joon-hyuk. Thinking about it, he felt sorry for him.
"How about this, I'll give you more shares. Okay …"
"Xu Zhixuan, that's not what I meant. What I wanted to say is that you are already a successful person. You are already the head of a group. You are no longer an actor or a celebrity. Although I don't look down on the industry, you can't continue like this!"
Xu Zhixuan naturally understood what Choi Joon-hyuk meant. If he looked down on the industry, then he would not be dating Quan Zhixuan now. Even if Xu Zhixuan knew that he would marry Quan Zhixuan in the future, he did not stop her career.
"Let me think about it. That's all for now!"
Without waiting for Choi Joon-hyuk to reply, Xu Zhixuan hung up the phone. He sat alone in the driver's seat, Choi Joon-hyuk's words echoing in his mind. Did he love being an actor? Did he like this career? The answer was yes. He loved it very much. Otherwise, he would not have entered the Korean entertainment industry.
However, Choi Joon-hyuk's words made sense. Not only was Xu Zhixuan the boss of many companies, he was even on the same level as Korea's top families. With his status, he could not continue to be exposed to the public. He was not Yang Xianshuo, nor was he Pu Zhenying. The best way was to follow Li Xiuman's example and slowly retreat behind the scenes. As the head of a group, being exposed to the public for a long time was not good for the company's growth.
Especially since Xu Zhixuan was an actor. In the eyes of many people, he was just an actor who amused others. This would unintentionally lower his status. Even if Xu Zhixuan did not care, Xu Zhixuan's subordinates were very concerned. They were already proud and afraid. If Xu Zhixuan was looked down upon, they would naturally lose face.
"Retreat behind the scenes? Or continue to be an actor? "
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
A phone rang. Xu Zhixuan subconsciously answered the call. He heard Song Ji-hyo's voice on the other end of the line, "Where are you? Choi Ho-woon has already arrived at the filming location. He said that you have other matters to attend to and will be there soon. However, everyone else is already there. We are just waiting for you!"
Xu Zhixuan was startled awake. He looked at his watch. It turned out that he had been sitting in the car for more than an hour. He felt that time had passed so quickly. He decided not to think about it anymore. At most, he would just take it one step at a time.
"Sorry, sorry. There was a problem on the way!"
After Xu Zhixuan arrived at the filming location, he did not explain further. Because of his status, it was impossible for him to lower his head to the director of a show. This was a change in the situation. Xu Zhixuan was no longer the same person in Korea without any foundation. Now, to put it bluntly, with the addition of the Lotte Cinema chain, he was one of the new overlords of the Korean entertainment industry.
"It's fine. Who hasn't run into trouble? Hurry up and get ready!"
Today was different from the past. His status had changed. Xu Zhixuan was no longer the person he used to casually order around and scold. With Xu Zhixuan's status and power, just a word from him was enough to make him, the executive director of the show, unemployed.
Xu Zhixuan smiled. In the past, when he was late for filming, even if his backer was Li Shunzai, a big shot in the entertainment industry, the director still did not take him seriously and scolded him mercilessly. When had he ever been so amiable?
"Why are you only here now? Everyone has been waiting for you for half an hour!"
In RM, the only person who could speak to Xu Zhixuan in such a tone was probably Song Ji-hyo. Even Yoo Jae-seok, as Xu Zhixuan's older brother and the leader of the variety show, was still a little restrained. Not only had Xu Zhixuan's status changed, but he was also Yoo Jae-seok's breadwinner. He could not tolerate his impudence.
"Sorry, there was a problem on the way, so I had to deal with it. Come! I've brought some drinks for everyone! "
Although Xu Zhixuan's attitude was vaguely more powerful, at the very least, the way he treated this group of brothers who had come together with him in the past did not change much. It was just that he was oppressing them from the bottom of his heart. Lee Kwang-soo and the others were still a little restrained. In the end, it was only under the leadership of Yoo Jae-seok and Kim Jong-kook that things turned for the better.
"Wow, it's going to be a big day today. Do you know?"
"What? Bro! "
"Zhixiao, you must be happy!"
"Nah, what are you talking about!"
"Hey, Zhixiao is so angry that his face is red!"
"Hey, Lee Kwang-soo, do you want to die?"
There was a noisy opening speech. Everyone was preparing for Xu Zhixuan's appearance. Naturally, as Xu Zhixuan's wife, the newly married Song Ji-hyo became the target of everyone's teasing. However, Song Ji-hyo was also a wily old fox. Naturally, she would not be embarrassed by everyone's teasing. Instead, she revealed her unscrupulous side of Zhixiao.
"Friends in front of the TV, that's right. Today, we have invited a super super super super …!"
"Hey, is the super over?"
After Yoo Jae-seok and Haha made a wrestling gesture, he continued to host, "Of course, today's episode has no guests. Let's welcome the return of Xu Zhixuan!"
As the music started, Xu Zhixuan, who was standing on the elevator, slowly rose from the temporary stage. When he saw everyone dancing wildly there, he was stunned and asked, "Have I been away for too long, or has the RM changed? Do you want me to dance?"
"Show me, show me, show me!"
Under the crowd's urging, Xu Zhixuan also performed a dance to the music. Although it was not super good, it was still possible for an ordinary artist. Moreover, dancing was a cool thing, so Xu Zhixuan naturally had to learn.
"Wow, Brother Wu Li is back … Woo!!"
Just as Yoo Jae-seok ran to Xu Zhixuan in tears, Xu Zhixuan also laughed and opened his arms to welcome him. Just when everyone thought that the next scene would be touching, Xu Zhixuan ignored Yoo Jae-seok and avoided him, hugging the others one by one.
"Ah, Xu Zhixuan!!!"
"Mo, Jae-seok -bro, when did you run over there?"
Facing Xu Zhixuan's innocent expression, Yoo Jae-seok was so angry that he held his neck and made a gesture of falling down. His other hand pointed at Xu Zhixuan, trembling there, as if he had seen Xu Zhixuan's true colors for the first time.
"Jae-seok -bro is really too much. Zhixuan is here, but he ran away by himself!"
"That's right, that's really too impolite!"
"Ah, how can there be such a person in RM? What does your program group do?"
"Really, it's really too embarrassing for us!"
One after another, everyone naturally cooperated with Xu Zhixuan and began to ridicule Yoo Jae-seok. Yoo Jae-seok was so angry that he laughed. He suddenly looked at everyone speechlessly. For the first time, he understood what it meant to be kicked by everyone.
