Chapter 109: The mood is bright
In mid-April, the days of relaxation and comfort are still the same. After Han Bin came back from Nanshan Park, he often stayed in the practice room, leaning against the sunny window, squinting his eyes and enjoying himself, and his mood was bright.
The girls practiced seriously while sweating, and occasionally glanced at someone's figure inadvertently. Seeing the man's bright expression, their mood seemed to become happy. Then they took a short break and then devoted themselves to active training.
Yuna rarely pesters Han Bin now, and she feels a sense of grievance and practices hard and earnestly, which makes Han Bin think that this girl has changed her temperament recently and is very pleased.
However, the well-behaved Xu Zhuxian often talks about Yoona's mood "inadvertently" and reveals to Han Bin obscurely, but Han Bin didn't care and thought Xu Zhuxian was just talking and playing.
In this way, the days in the practice room were repeated slightly monotonically, but Han Bin enjoyed such a comfortable tranquility.
At the door of the No. 10 practice room, a figure stood straight, with sharp eyes passing through the door, and looked at Han Bin with bright eyes. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed.
‘Dong...Dong...’ The sound of knocking on the door with a clear rhythm made the girls look sideways.
"Hello, Teacher Li Xiuman." The girls quickly bowed and greeted, with a standard ninety-degree etiquette and a rigorous attitude.
Han Bin's eyelids next to the window slowly opened, stood up from the ground, bent down to greet Li Xiuman. "Hello, President Li Xiuman." The two distinct names seem very strange.
"Yeah, hello you guys." Li Xiuman nodded slightly, listening to Han Bin's greeting, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
He owed too much this child. For the first time, Li Xiuman felt this guilt. Even if he had removed H.O.T because of helplessness, he had a clear conscience. But for some reason, every time he saw Han Bin's calm appearance, he would feel a sense of guilt.
Li Xiuman knew that even after three years, the gap hidden in Han Bin's heart would not fade with time. If it weren't for the constraints of that contract, I guess Han Bin wouldn't have stayed at S.M after returning!
"Han Bin, come out with me." Li Xiuman said to Han Bin. As a leader, decisive decision-making is an indispensable method. Even if you feel guilty, Li Xiuman is still the businessman who focuses on interests.
This must never change.
Han Bin nodded and responded, silently following Li Xiuman's steps, with a calm expression, but he still couldn't cross a threshold in his heart. The heavy damage Li Xiuman had given him by the planning back then was immeasurable.
The girls were watching one after another, especially Sooyeon, Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, Yoo-ri, who were nervous and filled with worry. At the beginning, they witnessed Han Bin running out of Lee Soo-man's office in despair.
When he arrived at the corner of the door, Li Xiuman suddenly stopped and turned his back to Han Bin. After a while of silence, he sighed helplessly.
"Since I promised you, I will not interfere. Everything is up to your own will." Li Xiuman said inexplicably, holding an invitation letter between his fingers and handed it to Han Bin. "You make your own decision!"
With a puzzled look, Han Bin took the invitation letter and gently opened it. Looking at the correct words on the paper, the surprise expression spread little by little on his face.
"Xiaobin, I heard that you are back. I left quietly at the beginning, but now I am back secretly. I don't even tell us, and we have to find you in person, really!"
"I guess you must be very surprised when you see this invitation. The corners of your mouth must be as bright as a flower. Well... it must be like that."
"Okay, I won't say much. The media reported a few days ago that you won't return for the time being, and I was a little surprised, so I secretly asked you: Teacher Li Xiuman is really willing to not let you come back?"
"Just kidding! Don't take it seriously, and don't let Teacher Li Xiuman know, otherwise the consequences will be a bit serious."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about some serious things. Have you heard of "X-man"? It's the hottest variety show today. We took a lot of effort to get Brother Hu Dong and Brother Jae Shi to agree to the plan, so you can see this invitation."
"To be honest, I actually want to see you, and I don't know how much your changes have changed. Just take it as compensation for leaving without saying a word. Come on! Xiaobin, we are waiting for you on the stage of "X-man"."
--myth.
A kind of intimacy was revealed between the lines, as if they were standing in front of them and chatting with them easily. Han Bin held the invitation letter's title page in both hands, his mouth opened little by little, and he looked at every word in every line carefully, his mood was never bright.
The six people in mythology still remember Han Bin, and they remember that they had such a younger brother. Although they withdrew from S.M, their relationship with Han Bin was not broken, but became more mellow.
Just as many artists envied at the time, Han Bin and Myth, H.O.T, S.E.S are like the emotions of a family, and they are definitely a beautiful scenery in the entertainment industry, which makes people envious and yearn for.
It should be time to meet the brothers. Han Bin slowly closed the invitation letter, his eyes full of smiles, but he made up his mind.
Seeing Han Bin's happy expression, Li Xiuman smiled with relief. The withdrawal of Myth had a great impact on the development of S.M in 2003. At that time, Li Xiuman was very angry and even used all means to block Myth and others' artist career, just like facing the dissolution of H.O.T.
The cruel and decisive methods made Li Xiuman the title of "Tyrant" and also made the artists under S.M entangled with the "Five-Year Curse" prophecy of dissolution.
However, as the president of S.M, the pressure on Li Xiuman's body is not something that ordinary people can understand, not to mention that the combination he picked up with his own hands will leave the company and no one will remain indifferent.
But as time goes by, some of the anger gradually subsided. Although Li Xiuman can't treat artists who left the company calmly, at least he will not ban them angrily.
Because that was meaningless. The only thing that made Li Xiuman proud back then was not H.O.T creating another new era, nor was Han Bin opening a new chapter in SOLO with a new attitude, nor was it the first myth that put aside mysticism and led the development of the idol group.
But on the day Han Bin debut, H.O.T, S.E.S, Myth and Han Bin and others gathered together, and there was also a treasure girl. The warm feeling that seemed like a family was the most touching and Li Xiuman's most proud achievement.
It is a family that symbolizes an era - the S.M family.
"It's okay, you'll make your own decision." Li Xiuman took off his glasses, brushed the back of his hand inadvertently, and murmured softly. "I've been a little tired over the years!"
It's a bit tired! As a behind-the-scenes operator, leading the trend of the era in the Korean music industry for a whole whole year, Li Xiuman picked up several of the most dazzling new stars in one hand. Behind the success of the scenery, few people understand the bitterness and hard work in the middle.
Most people think that he is a "interest-oriented businessman" who is not mixed with emotions, but they don't know that people's hearts are never fleshy. Li Xiuman... also has a sentimental side, but he rarely shows it.
"Go! Maybe it's going to be..." Li Xiuman left slowly, and raised his hand as if exhausted, and his words were intriguing. Perhaps there would be no chance of free choice in the future. He wanted to say that because his rights were being slightly overwhelmed by the other directors.
"Thank you, Li Xiuman...teacher..." Han Bin bowed to Li Xiuman and thanked him, watching the seemingly lonely figure slowly fade away.
I can't be your teacher yet! Han Bin. Li Xiuman smiled with relief, with a faint sadness shrouded in his eyebrows. The promise he made to Han Bin, one day, someone will stand up to refute him.
Holding the invitation tightly in his hand, Han Bin took a deep breath, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he had been at the recording site of "X-man" and met his brothers who had not seen him for many years. This excitement and surprise are hard to describe in words.
In fact, what Li Xiuman didn't know was that if he didn't agree with Han Bin going to "X-man", Han Bin would not change his firm determination. Even if he experienced ups and downs and erased his edges and corners in life, he was still the stubborn little man when he was a child.
No one can stop him from going to "X-man", and Lee Soo-man is no exception.
"Brother, what's wrong today?" Xu Zhuxian trotted to Han Bin and said excitedly. "It looks very happy and smiles as beautiful as a flower."
Seeing the smile on Han Bin's face, Xu Zhuxian's mood seemed to be brighter. She blinked her bright eyes and looked at Han Bin happily. Her brother Han Bin has not been so cheerful for a long time, and today she actually smiled like Huaer. It's so happy.
"Xiao Zhuxian, it's nothing, it's just happiness." Han Bin lay next to the window, holding Xu Zhuxian's little hand, and said. "Sit with me for a while." Only when he was in a very happy mood would he subconsciously call Xu Zhuxian using the intimate name he was a child.
"Oh, Soo Yeon, it's a miracle! Look at the teacher's face." Taeyeon said with her eyes wide open, and nervously pulling Soo Yeon's arm.
"What...ah..." Soo-yeon looked in the direction Taeyeon pointed, and opened her mouth slightly in surprise, unable to close for a moment.
Sooyoung, Yoori, Hyoyeon and others were also slightly stunned, staring at Han Bin's face in surprise and looked at him constantly. Pani, who was already cute, had a crescent smile, with a unique and beautiful look.
"Hmph...Big villain, I smile so happily." Yoona lowered her head and glanced at Han Bin with the light of her eyes. Although she kept complaining, she smiled in her eyes and was sincerely happy.
What the girls saw was a bright smile like the sun, warm, caring and full of hope.
And that person is Han Bin.
