My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 583 Dinner time with Pani

Zhang Ping'an didn't stay in the company for long. When he left, Fang Shihe said completely dumbfounded: "As the president, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the brokerage company when you have time, right?"

Indeed, Zhang Ping'an basically didn't care about matters related to the brokerage company. He gave full authority to Fang Shihe. The one he was slightly more concerned about was the investment and production department of the brokerage company. This was because Fang Shihe felt that the investment department's funds involved too much. After all, if you invest in film and television works or variety shows, you can lose billions or tens of billions by accident. Even if the artist's investment in an album is completely ruined, it is only 500 million won.

Zhang Pingan's response to Fang Shihe was very simple, "Since I have handed over the agency to you, I don't care what decisions you make." Because I believe in you, any decision you make is for the benefit of the children. ’ And there is also the last sentence, which is also the sentence that makes Bang Shihe sad the most, that is, ‘Anyway, I don’t expect how much money you can make for me. ’

These words almost caused Fang Shihe to suffer internal injuries. Indeed, their artist management department is definitely not making money as fast as their investment department. But Bang Si Hyuk feels that the recent development of 'BTS' has been quite good. After all, there are too many popular boy groups in the market today, including the popular EXO and the top boy group 'Da Bang'. Moreover, there are some reorganized old-level men's groups. Bang Si Hyuk would like to say... the market resources are limited!

But Zhang Pingan took the car keys and left without waiting for him to defend himself. Zhang Pingan went to the underground garage and unlocked the Kia K5. After getting into this car, Zhang Ping'an touched it east and west. This car... well, it is indeed a family car! Anyway, as long as the car can drive, as for pursuing high-end products in the car, haha, a new car only costs 130,000 Chinese dollars, and it is even cheaper to buy it here in Korea.

After starting the car, Zhang Ping'an fastened his seat belt and set off. He checked the mileage and found that he had traveled 30,000 kilometers. Driving on the streets in this vehicle that was seen everywhere, passers-by completely lost interest in him. The ‘Kia K5’ is not only used by taxis, but also by police patrol vehicles. This car can be said to be the most common vehicle in Korea.

Driving on the highway, Zhang Pingan completely rolled down the window for a rare occasion. Because it is easy to receive "attention gifts" when driving his car on weekdays, he will not lower the windows to the lowest level. But today, no one paid attention to the car. He opened the car window completely, blowing the April spring breeze, and his mood became better. It was a rare occasion when he lowered the car window and looked at the sunset outside the window. Zhang Pingan unconsciously started humming a song in the car.

The sunset was beautiful, but Zhang Pingan's mood gradually became a little irritable. Because along with the sunset, the evening rush hour after get off work begins to cause congestion in the city. Driving on the streets of Jiang/Nan, even if it is a spacious road, there are still stops and starts, and the mood of admiring the sunset is made boring by the pedal of the accelerator and the brake.

Zhang Ping'an, who was stuck in traffic, received a call from Pani: "Where are you?

Didn't you say you would pick me up at the company? I've been waiting for almost half an hour, why haven't you come yet? "

Zhang Ping'an said depressedly: "Hey, is there a traffic jam on the road? I'm driving a car, not a helicopter. I'll call you when I get there!"

"Why are you so mean? Can't you just talk nicely?"

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'll call you when I get there."

...

After being stuck in traffic for another twenty minutes, Zhang Ping'an arrived downstairs in S.M's new building. He took out his phone and called Pani: "I'm here, come down."

Sitting in the car, Zhang Ping'an rested his car on the window coolly and said to himself: "The advantage of driving this car is that you won't be noticed. It's low-key."

After a while, Pani went downstairs. She came to the company in the afternoon and was wearing a sweater and skirt. Zhang Pingan watched her go out and stood at the door of the company, looking around because she didn't see Zhang Pingan. The car was parked at the door. After all, the Rolls-Royce was very conspicuous. However, there was only one Kia parked not far away from the company entrance. She searched everywhere but could not find Zhang Pingan's car.

Pani angrily walked back into the company, but Zhang Pingan didn't sound the horn or anything. Because even if he honked the horn, Pani wouldn't have guessed that it was him sitting in the car, right? Maybe she thought the people honking the horn were fans.

After returning to the company, Pani curled his lips and took out the phone with some dissatisfaction and called Zhang Pingan: "Didn't you say you arrived? Where is the person?"

"I saw you outside. You came out to take a look and then went back. Did you see a black Kia?"

Pani walked out again and looked at Kia from a distance: "Well, there is one, the car you drive?"

"Yes, I drive this car. Come here quickly."

After Pani came out of the company, she came to the Kia driven by Zhang Pingan. She bent down from the passenger seat and looked in. After seeing that it was Zhang Pingan sitting in the cab, she opened the door and got in the car.

After getting in the car, Pani put on his seat belt and said curiously: "Why are you driving this car? Didn't your car have a scratch and be sent for repair?"

"No, I asked someone to buy this for me today. Sometimes I need to use this car to hide it from others."

Pani said very curiously: "Do you need to hide from others?" But after saying this, she thought about it, and it seemed that sometimes it was really necessary, such as secretly dating or something.

After Pani got in the car, Zhang Pingan raised the window halfway, and then responded: "Too many people know the license plate of my car, so I thought of hiding the simplest car. Have you made a restaurant reservation? ?”

"It's booked, Izubo, let's go."

Zhang Ping'an knows Izubo. This Japanese restaurant is a favorite among Girls' Generation because it is located in a small alley away from Cheongdam-dong. Moreover, they also introduced that restaurant in the "TTS" program, and there are their special chopsticks from their girlhood there.

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "You are familiar with the road and you give directions. Aren't you known as the 'T Navigator'?"

"Hahaha, I'm only familiar with Jiang/Nan. Let's go, turn right at the next intersection..."

Along the way, the two just chatted about today's work, and Zhang Ping'an also asked about Pani's album preparation. Soon, the two came to Izubo.

Zhang Pingan and Pani were sitting in a small private room in the restaurant. Pani ordered his favorite eel rice, while Zhang Pingan ordered a Japanese fried pork cutlet, and then an order of Tianjin. Assorted urako and soba noodles.

After ordering, Pani still didn't put down the menu in her hand. She smiled happily at Zhang Pingan: "Drink?"

"You can drink if you want. Why do you ask me? I want a glass of beer to start my appetite. What do you want to drink?"

Pani closed the menu and said to the waiter who took the order: "Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Rose."

The waiter went out to prepare meals and wine, and Pani said with a smile: "It seems like we haven't eaten alone for a long time, right?"

After becoming familiar with each other last year, Zhang Pingan and Pani met very frequently, even exceeding the number of times he and Taeyeon met alone. At that time, the relationship between Zhang Pingan and Pani was indeed very close. Basically, they would have dinner together when they had nothing to do. The two of them met more times than Pani had met her boyfriend.

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Think about it, the two of us have not had dinner together for at least half a year. Is it since Taeyeon's relationship was exposed??"

Pani smiled and talked about the original memories: "Actually, before Taeyeon's relationship was exposed, I clearly noticed a change in her mentality. After all, the three of us met too frequently at that time. Fortunately, it was your appearance that made She wasn’t hurt that deeply, otherwise I would really worry about Taeyeon’s character, and it would be difficult for her to get over that failed relationship.”

Zhang Ping'an said very nonchalantly: "There is no emotional injury that time cannot heal. As time goes by, it fades away, and you slowly forget it."

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and brought in wine. When the beer was brought in, Zhang Ping'an ordered another glass of 'Lemon High Ball', which is the most common wine in Japanese restaurants and is Yui Aragaki's favorite type of carbonation. Zhang Pingan would have two drinks with Yui every night when he was in Japan.

Pani opened his own champagne and started drinking with Zhang Pingan. The restaurant brought a plate of edamame to the two of them to appetize and drink with them.

Pani held the wine glass and clinked it with Zhang Pingan's beer. She said: "The healing of time is based on 'not meeting'. But we are all in the same company, and you know that every year we always There are so many 'family concerts'. So this time of healing will take longer than we thought. Didn't Taeyeon go to the Psychological Museum when filming "TTS"? The answer is a bit of mild depression.”

Zhang Pingan drank more than half of the glass of wine, then peeled and ate the edamame, and responded: "I know, so I had very frequent contact with her during that time. As for you, your emotional pain has come out." ?"

When talking about his relationship, Pani showed a strong smile and responded: "Me? I'm definitely fine. There wasn't even much heartache when we broke up. Maybe it's because he and I deliberately reduced each other after the relationship was exposed. We met each other gradually...so the final separation was not as serious as expected."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that we met more often at that time, right?"

"You are so embarrassed. I even doubted that you came here to ruin our relationship on purpose. After I met you, Taeyeon and I started to break up. Do you have the intention to get close to us?" Yes?"
