The trip to Japan was so successful that the twenty or so brothers had nothing to do. On the last day of the trip, they went shopping and brought gifts for the brothers who stayed behind.
The gifts were mainly H magazines, authentic AV, and signed photos of the teachers …
Lee Yoon-rim bought a set of cosmetics that Tang Jinyan could not recognize. Then she brought Song Ji-hyo a set of the same brand.
Yi Zhi brought Tang Jinyan a gift — a game console of the same brand. Tang Jinyan accepted it righteously.
Now that he had gifts for his brothers and Song Ji-hyo, Tang Jinyan was in a dilemma about gifts for Park Soyeon and T-ara.
They had just returned from their tour in Japan at the end of July, and they had been to Japan many times before. They were much more familiar with the place than he was. Why should he bring gifts for them?
In the end, he took a fancy to a set of very strange things and brought it back.
When he returned to Seoul and contacted Park Soyeon, he found out that T-ara did not have an itinerary today. They had a new mission to do — learn Chinese.
After Tang Jinyan and Jeong Shunchen proposed the program, Kim Kwang-soo was forced to give up on the American plan. He could only start to seriously consider China. After serious consideration, he realized that it was worth a try …
Over the years, all the major management companies had been exploring the China market. Kim Kwang-soo had also considered this.
However, due to some well-known piracy market and some political factors, these companies felt that it was not cost-effective to fully enter China.
Chinese fans did not know the inside story. They often thought that when their idols went to China for a show, a meet-and-greet, or a concert, they were entering the China market. In fact, it was not.
For example, when Girls' Generation signed with Ai Hui in Japan, T-ara signed with J-Rock in Japan. They promoted in all aspects in Japan, released Japanese songs, and opened up sales channels. This was entering the market.
However, in history, no Korean idol had ever signed a contract with a Chinese management company to develop in China.
(Note: In October 2014, T-ara signed a contract with China's Longzhen Culture. It is the first Korean idol to sign a contract with China.
Those who thought that T-ara was bought by Wang Sicong were also mistaken. It was the same regional development contract as Japan, not a transfer of ownership. T-ara still belonged to Korea's MBK, which was the original CCM reorganization, and the president was still Mr. Bare Pig.)
This was the first time Jin GuangZhu had seriously studied the possibility of a full-scale invasion. He realized that it could be attempted under a certain premise. Mao Zedong's political views were pro-China, which was well known throughout the world. Once she was in power, T-Ara's China plan would be politically correct, at least on a political level.
Judging from the current competitive situation, the possibility of Mao Zedong taking office was too high.
Kim Kwang-soo felt that they could at least make a plan first. Before the detailed plan was released, T-ara could learn Chinese as a foundation. Even if the China plan could not be implemented in the future, it was still good to be fluent in Chinese when going on a show or a meet-and-greet.
Mr. Bare Pig was the second most impatient in the industry. T-ara's new song was still preparing to hit the charts, but he had already hired a Chinese teacher and started teaching T-ara Chinese.
Originally, Kim Kwang-soo thought that they would not be able to learn a new language out of the blue. However, he was surprised to find that they were all very excited. They all said, "I've wanted to learn for a long time. The president is so considerate."
Kim Kwang-soo was stunned for a long time before he remembered that Tang Jinyan was China …
When Tang Jinyan arrived at CCM, T-ara was in the middle of a class.
Nowadays, Tang Jinyan's name was known by everyone in CCM. This was a man who beat up the president and still announced his relationship with their group leader as if nothing had happened. He was definitely more intimidating than Kim Kwang-soo himself … When the guard saw him, not only did he not stop him, he bowed and led him all the way to T-ara's classroom.
This was T-ara's first class. They were learning the most basic Pinyin. Tang Jinyan was about to knock on the door to greet them when the sound of reading came from inside. He hesitated and stood outside the door to listen silently.
Because he had never learned Pinyin before, the girls' clear voices made him feel like he was in a classroom in a dream. He even wanted to follow them and learn. Maybe this class was more meaningful than Professor Lee's class because it was the basics …
The girls' voices went like this: "Ah ~ Oh ~ Uh … Oh ~ Dirty …"
…
The girls read it over and over again. Tang Jinyan also memorized it over and over again outside the door.
He had been able to speak Chinese since he was a child, so his acceptance and understanding of Pinyin were relatively high. He had already memorized T-ara's words by heart.
During the break, the teacher went out and saw Tang Jinyan standing outside. He was stunned for a moment and was about to ask when Tang Jinyan shushed him. The teacher understood, smiled, looked inside, shook his head and left.
"Hey, Yigu …" The six girls stretched and stood up. Quan Baolan's voice came from inside, "I haven't studied for a long time. My understanding is getting worse and worse. Am I getting old?"
"You say it as if you were very smart a few years ago. You took the third-rate acting major and thought you were from Seoul University?" This was Li Juli's voice.
"Hey hey hey, you're my classmate okay? You didn't take the third-rate acting major?"
"That's because I just took the exam casually. Otherwise, how could I meet a rookie like you …"
"Li Zhixian!
Let's fight! "
"Are you sure?" Li Juli sized her up, "Others will say that I'm bullying a child …"
"Hmph hmph hmph, if you're so capable, go to Dongguk like Eun-kyung, and go to Sungkyunkwan like Hyo-min …"
Han Eun-kyung and Park Hyo-min lamented, "Sigh … we could've relied on our looks, but we had to rely on our talents. It's hard on us too …"
Park Soyeon and Park Ji-yeon began to roar, "Two top students!
Let's fight one-on-one! "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh … The four of them got into their Taekwondo stances. Quan Baolan and Li Juli, who had started the fight, clapped their hands and cheered, "Good luck!"
"Who do you think will win?"
"Eun-kyung, I think. Her legs are thick enough to kick a cow to death!"
As soon as she said this, Han Eun-kyung immediately turned around and pounced on her, "Li Juli, you're the one with the thickest legs!"
The four-person PK had finally turned into a six-person free-for-all.
"Cough cough …" There was a dry cough from the door, "Actually … I could've done the evaluation."
The six of them stood rooted to the spot like robots, completely silent.
Three seconds later, the six of them who had been in a frenzy just a moment ago had all turned into gentle young ladies, "Hello, OPPA. You're back from Nippon. Did your trip go well?"
Tang Jinyan's gaze darted back and forth between Li Juli's and Han Eun-kyung's legs, until the two girls quietly shrank back behind the table. Then, he chuckled, "Actually, they're both very thick …"
A ferocious glint flashed across the two girls' eyes, but they quickly replaced it with a sweet smile, "How could that be? OPPA's arms are thicker than our thighs …"
"Oh?
Then we'll have to compare them. "Tang Jinyan rolled up his sleeves and walked over, bent over and prepared to compare their arms.
Bang! A textbook landed on his head. Tang Jinyan rubbed his head and turned around, only to see Park Soyeon smiling faintly, "Do you want to compare with mine first?"
Tang Jinyan laughed heartily, "I know your measurements by heart. There's no need to compare."
Li Juli sneered coldly, "You're referring to the cup size, aren't you …"
Park Soyeon's face was flushed red, and she glared at Tang Jinyan viciously.
The girls were stifling their laughter. Tang Jinyan sighed, "Juli … I've been listening from the beginning to the end, and the only thing I remember is your sharp tongue. You should exchange more skills in the future …"
Park Soyeon said coldly, "You don't want to exchange skills, you want to exchange tongues, right …"
"Hahaha …" The girls burst out laughing. Li Juli's face was flushed red. She wanted to continue using her sharp tongue, but when she caught a glimpse of Tang Jinyan's smiling face, her words got stuck in her throat. She couldn't say a single word, and she could only turn her head away angrily.
Park Ji-yeon, who had been laughing with a red face, suddenly interjected, "What's that in your hands, brother-in-law?
Did you bring us a gift from Japan? "
"Oh."
Tang Jinyan tossed the box in his hands onto the table, "Considering that you guys are more familiar with Japan than I am, I didn't know what to buy, but this thing is quite interesting …"
"Let me see, let me see!"
The six of them rushed over and opened the box in a flurry. Soon, the box was opened. Inside were seven little clay figurines, all of them in strange shapes.
Park Soyeon asked in confusion, "What's this?!"
Tang Jinyan said seriously, "T-ara.
Each of you can take one and leave one for Yalin. "
"Since when did we look like this?"
"Look at them, don't they look like the opening of your dance …"
"Hmm … If you put it that way, it does look like it …" Quan Baolan was the first to jump out and snatch the smallest one, "This one must be mine!"
The others looked at each other, "How do we choose ours?"
"It's very simple." Tang Jinyan picked up the one with the roundest face and handed it to Park Soyeon.
Park Soyeon rolled her eyes at him, but didn't say anything. She pouted and took it.
Li Juli asked, "What about me?"
Tang Jinyan glanced at her, took a pen from the table next to him, and slowly tapped the tip of a clay figurine's nose.
"Tang Jinyan, I'm going to kill you!"
Li Juli pounced on Tang Jinyan fiercely. He took the opportunity to fall on the table, and all T-ara members pounced on him, punching and kicking him.
Tang Jinyan hugged his head and let the girls hit him with their fists. It was like scratching an itch, and he laughed, "Don't hit there, it's itchy there … Ouch, I can't do it there either, Su Yuan's happy sex life depends on it …"
"Pervert!"
Park Soyeon made a move herself, and fiercely scratched a certain part of his body. Tang Jinyan jumped up, pulled her into his arms, and held her still.
The girls were also tired of playing and trying to hold back their laughter, so they scattered and sat down to catch their breath.
Park Soyeon was left alone in his arms. She hugged his waist and murmured, "Oppa, I missed you so much … It's so good to be back …"
