Tang Jinyan waited for a month.
Li Juli's father's description of Li Juli as "loose on the outside but tight on the inside" was very appropriate.
For Tang Jinyan, this month was a bit of ice and fire.
As the date of the election approached day by day, the atmosphere in South Korea was unprecedentedly tense. There were all kinds of speeches, all kinds of canvassing for votes, and from time to time there were conflicts in the parliament and in the streets. It was a scene of a coming storm.
In this scene, the current Tang Jinyan could not be the protagonist. He was just the dragon-slaying sword in the hands of the protagonist.
Behind the scenes, he did a lot of things for Kim Jong Un.
Everything was shady and unspeakable.
Tang Jinyan did not want to be detailed. Even Li Juli's father, who cooperated seamlessly, could not control many things, not to mention the women around him.
Tang Jinyan also disobeyed some things, but he still did some things as they were. No matter how he did it, the final result was, of course, beneficial to Kim Jong Un. Kim Jong Un had always been very satisfied.
Doing things that were involuntary also had its own benefits.
In any case, the relationship between him and Kim Jong Un had slowly become closer through the accumulation of secret matters.
Kim Jong Un would even bypass Kim Jong Un and personally talk to Tang Jinyan for some things.
This was the result that Tang Jinyan was waiting for.
In the process of doing things, he had many unspeakable interactions with the people of the Kim Jong Un faction of the New World Party, and even with supporters outside the party. He believed that over time, he could not be separated from this force at all.
Some of them would also look for him to do personal things, and slowly become his own foundation. This was normal.
No matter who it was, there would be some inconvenient things that needed a knife.
And the so-called association, after the accumulation of one thing after another, slowly became only his own voice.
Although many secret matters could not be passed through them, in the process of doing things, the pleasure of using a chicken feather as a command arrow was not something that ordinary people could understand.
This was the fire on the surface of South Korea in the past month, but it was also the ice behind Tang Jinyan's back. The blue color buried in the shadows slowly solidified with drops of water.
On the other hand, Tang Jinyan's face, those who were paying attention could only see that he was pleased with himself.
When he had nothing to do, he didn't even go to the New Village Group. Because whenever he went, countless people would think that the New Village Group was going to do something big, so they simply didn't go.
He went to CCM.
T-ara had learned his lesson the last time when he chased him away and ended up flirting with girls. This time, he did not chase him away. He really allowed him to watch and practice. After practice, they would have dinner together. After dinner, he would stay the night.
Outsiders only saw Tang Jinyan's happy face as he soaked in women all day long, but T-ara saw … Han Eun-kyung directly swapping rooms with Li Juli. Everyone knew why …
Those who were more well-informed would know that Tang Jinyan occasionally went to a third place other than his home and T-ara dormitory. However, this place was kept a secret and no one knew about it.
That was Xu Xian's home.
Many things were like this. If there was a first time, there would be a second time. No matter how nervous and conflicted the first time, it would only gradually become a habit.
That night, Tang Jinyan memorized Xu Xian's door password.
When he silently opened the door for the second time, Xu Xian, who was doing body exercises, was stunned. She did not react until he walked in front of her.
The third time, Xu Xian directly threw a bathrobe at him. "Take a bath when you die."
The fourth time, "In the shoe cabinet … I bought you a pair of slippers. Try them on …"
The fifth time, "Ah, Oni, don't come tonight.
Well, OPPA is with me.
Okay, see you tomorrow. "
The moment she hung up the phone, Xu Xian felt that in fact … it was that simple.
*****
On February 13th, T-ara's comeback single "Countryside Diary", which had been silent for seven months after "Day by Day," was released.
In fact, Lee Jae-hyun's initial judgment was right. After the previous incident, T-ara did benefit from a disaster. Although it did not have the rapid rebound of Girls' Generation, the number of people in the official cafes had been steadily increasing.
Over the past six months, the fans had been waiting anxiously. As soon as the new single was released, the sleepy fans who had been waiting for half a year exploded with huge enthusiasm. Whether the song was to their liking or not, they would wait until it was over.
Within half an hour of the single's release, the music source broke the charts and the nine charts were all killed. The physical pre-sales of the single were more than 100,000.
This terrifying momentum made many people confused, thinking that it was Shaoshi's return. After a closer look, they realized that Shaoshi had just finished the chart and was preparing to go to Japan for a meet and greet …
T-ara was very happy with the momentum. They had not achieved such results even when they were at the peak of their career, "Love Dovey." This was because their competitor this time was the powerful Sistar, which was also a music industry giant. They thought it would be a fierce battle, but they did not expect to win so easily.
With such momentum, as long as they could stabilize and win some decent awards, they could proudly announce that they had fulfilled their long-cherished wish since their debut: to reach the top.
The excited Park Soyeon hung onto Tang Jinyan and did not want to get off.
Every time this happened, everyone would be reminded of the nightmare in July and August last year. Compared to today, the clouds had broken and the moon had bloomed. How could they not be excited?
Even though Park Soyeon was hanging onto him, Li Juli still squeezed in and kissed him without hesitation.
Then, the excited members of T-ara squeezed over.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!" Park Soyeon pouted.
"Don't be so petty …" Han Eun-kyung pushed her away, kissed Tang Jinyan on the cheek, and ran away laughing.
"I want it too, I want it too …" Park Hyomin kissed him, laughed, and went out.
"…" Quan Baolan jumped up, but did not reach him, so she jumped again.
Park Ji-yeon was waiting anxiously behind her, so she picked her up.
Quan Baolan was overjoyed. She kissed him, jumped down, and ran away.
Looking at how Park Jiyeon happily received the dragon, Park Suk Yeon pouted so much that an oil bottle could be hung from her mouth.
This time, Park Ji-yeon kissed him very openly, because everyone had kissed him, and she was the last one to kiss him … She was secretly happy as she ran behind everyone.
"Did you have fun?" Park Soyeon glanced at Tang Jinyan from the corner of her eyes.
Tang Jinyan pretended to smile foolishly and did not say anything.
Wandering under the blade of hell, lying drunk in the bosom of a beauty, Tang Jinyan thought that these days of ice and fire would continue until the election was over, and that there would be some changes in his life after that.
Of course, it was also possible that something would happen during the election, causing him to delete his account and start all over again. That was another matter, and it seemed unlikely at the moment.
But he did not expect that a simple phone call would completely destroy the regularity he had been maintaining these days.
On February 21st, T-ara went to Merica for the first time with the single "Countryside Diary"!
Tang Jinyan accompanied them on Countdown.
Just as they were laughing and joking in the Mnet waiting room, Tang Jinyan received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Excuse me … is, is this President Tang?"
It was a girl's voice. It sounded soft and familiar.
All members of T-ara pricked up their ears.
Speaking of which, why did people still call him President Tang these days?
How old was that?
Most people called him president now, even though it was just an association …
Tang Jinyan also felt that the voice was familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before. "I'm Tang Jinyan, who are you?"
"I, I'm Park Chulong, I don't know if President Tang still remembers me …"
The waiting room quieted down, and Tang Jinyan was silent as well. After a few seconds, he said, "I remember.
What's the matter, Captain Park? "
"Sorry to disturb President Tang … I have something to ask President Tang for help, I don't know if it's convenient …"
"Why are you looking for me?"
"It's, it's about Apink, I, I can't find a way …"
"About Apink … did she ask you to look for me?"
"It's not Eun-thi …" Park Chulong's voice became softer and softer. "It's a personal request …"
Tang Jinyan was silent for a long time, then said lightly, "I'm a triad, I do things for money."
"…"
"Either you make a deal with me, or … let Jung Eun-thi do it."
(End of Volume 8)
PS: This entire volume is about characters, there's no plot progression, and no characters.
Speaking of which, there's no character in the third volume, so why does everyone think that I'm pushing one character in each volume?
