Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class quickly drove into the Shuoguo Apartment Building in Yongsan District. It was Jessica Jung's first time here. She was taken aback by the sight outside and then quietly asked Lee Seok, "Oppa, where is this?"

No wonder Jessica Jung asked that question. As a typical residential building, the apartment building in Yongsan District no longer fits the high-class image of Lee Seok's chaebol!

"This is the first building I bought after I first came to South Korea. I lived here at first, but then I got too lazy to move, so I just kept living here..."

As Li Shuo parked the car, he half-embraced Zheng Xiuyan and led her inside, laughing as they walked, "It's currently undergoing renovations and upgrades. What you see here isn't finished yet. Hmm, once it's been renovated, it'll look like a high-end apartment..."

Having spent so much time with Lee Seok, Jessica Jung had gradually figured out his temperament and knew he liked straightforward and honest girls, so she immediately said what she meant:

"But even if you transform it into a luxury apartment, it's still an apartment, isn't it? Hmm, what I mean is, Oppa, you should buy yourself a new house, at least a villa in Gangnam, to match your status..."

"No, no, if I were to buy one, I would do what conglomerates like Samsung and Contemporary do: designate an area in the capital and build a manor-style residence for myself!"

Li Shuo laughed heartily. Because Jessica Jung's speaking style suited his taste, he was quite talkative at the moment. He led Jessica Jung through the door of room 101, pointed to the interior decoration, and said with a smile:

"Look, isn't the inside different? Doesn't it feel refreshing and new?"

"Hmm, it's pretty good."

In fact, Jessica Jung's praise was somewhat insincere. No matter how well it's decorated, it's still basically an apartment building. The group is SM Entertainment's cash cow, and the accommodations they're provided are much better than this.

A smart girl wouldn't dwell on such topics, instead turning to Li Shuo and teasingly saying, "If you ask me, you're only interested in it because it can house a lot of people. Maybe you're even planning to use the whole building to hide women, or, in your idiom, you'd call it..."

She read the idiom "keeping a mistress in a golden house" in perfect Chinese.

Wow, look at that little mouth and tongue! How did you train it? Your pronunciation is pretty good!

Li Shuo poked around her lips with his fingers, and the girl rolled her eyes, pretending to bite him. But Li Shuo didn't dodge and was actually bitten. So the girl didn't use her teeth, looked at him with seductive eyes, and pursed her lips...

"Hiss, little vixen!"

Li Shuo chuckled and scolded, but didn't explore further. Instead, he held her and lazily sprawled on the sofa, whispering:

"But you're absolutely right this time. Keeping this building is indeed for raising girls, and lots of girls!"

"what?"

Jessica Jung was dumbfounded. Although she liked Lee Seok-cheon and knew that this man seemed to have girlfriends, and more than one, how could he say such a thing directly when they were on a date together?

So, no matter how much she liked Li Shuo, she didn't know whether she should lose her temper or just stand up and leave.

Fortunately, Li Shuo wasn't trying to upset her, and quickly continued:

"Don't forget, I'm the owner of a talent agency in China that collaborates with Sony Entertainment. In Hangzhou, China, Shuoguo has already built a similar apartment building project for internet celebrities. It will provide training, rest, and even work spaces for its streamers, essentially a one-stop shop for producing entertainment streamers..."

"Well, going back to the point, the anchor is a simpler, more generalized version of a celebrity, and I believe it's also the answer for the future. I'm telling you this now because I plan to popularize this version of the show in South Korea as soon as possible..."

"South Korea's entertainment industry is very developed, especially the idol industry. I predict that it will have a cultural impact on the world in the future! But not everyone can pass through layers of hurdles and eventually become an idol, let alone a famous idol..."

"Therefore, there will inevitably be countless people who fail to become idols. At that time, the new signing model offered by my successful agency will be their only choice!"

While domestic internet celebrities and livestreamers can rise to fame and fortune through livestreaming and short videos, South Koreans are doing just as well, and their audience base is even better than that of China! After all, there are platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook outside of China, and the fans they gain there are "global fans."

As for South Korea, due to its unique idol culture, it really has the potential to leave behind countless "failed idols" and "successful internet celebrities," just as Lee Seok said. In the future, any South Korean beauty can showcase her talents through various video and live streaming platforms. In fact, because of their existence, they have achieved something that even the top South Korean stars and idols have not been able to fully accomplish: truly promoting the Korean Wave to the world!

Lee Seok was talking about whatever came to mind, but Jessica Jung found it very interesting. She excitedly asked Lee Seok, "What about us? Can we become internet celebrities too?"

Li Shuo chuckled: "Of course you can, and you'll have even more advantages as internet celebrities... Well, the premise is that SM Entertainment is willing to let you 'sacrifice' your time to cooperate..."

In the later stages of the "beautiful legs" era, they split into various teams and began online promotion. Because they were idols and celebrities, the results were quite good, but it's still not as good as starting to get involved in the online field now, which is still a relatively untouched area...

However, Beautiful Legs Era has a management contract with SM Entertainment, which is the most stringent. So when she heard what Lee Seok said, Jessica Jung's expression darkened a bit. She lowered her head and said, "The company probably won't agree. We have so many commercials right now..."

You've only just become famous; you haven't reached your peak in 15 yet. There's still much more to come.

With this thought in mind, Lee Seok had an idea. He pulled Jessica Jung into his arms and whispered comfortingly in her ear, "Don't worry, even if it's just for you, I will acquire SM Entertainment. Hmm, it won't be long, it will be very soon..."

"Really? That's great!"

Jessica Jung turned her head in surprise, and with a sway of her small body, her beautiful figure almost overlapped with Lee Seok's...

Li Shuo couldn't resist any longer, so he pushed the little vixen onto the sofa and then rolled over...

As a seasoned player in the dating scene, Lee Seok naturally provided the young and beautiful leader of the group with an absolutely perfect first experience. However, for Lee Seok, aside from the novelty, the experience was actually just average. After all, Jessica Jung was still too inexperienced, and moreover, due to her contract, she couldn't even stay out overnight!

Lee Seok was going to call Kim Young-min, but Jung Soo-yeon asked weakly, "Oppa, are you sure you want to let President Kim know about what happened today?"

Um! If anyone knows, would they send someone to kill us?

Lee Seok instantly felt ashamed. Although he was assertive, he was still guilty of stealing something good from SM Entertainment, especially from President Kim, whom fans from his previous life called "Mama Kim" because of her beautiful legs. She seemed to treat her artists quite well...

With that thought in mind, Li Shuo stopped thinking about it and simply held Zheng Xiuyan, insisting that she rest well and return to the dormitory after she had fully recovered.

"Don't worry, I'll call Yoona and the others and ask them to cover for you!"

"okay!"

Jessica smiled sweetly. Lee Seok's words made her overjoyed: Just like when he called President Kim to tell him, Lee Seok was also telling his teammates, including Yoona, that he and she had become a couple!

She was well aware of Lee Seok's popularity within the girl group Beautiful Legs Generation, especially his close relationships with Seohyun and Yoona. When she returned to South Korea, she suddenly decided to stay an extra day because she witnessed the rapid development of their relationships with Lee Seok.

While Jessica was lost in thought, Lee Seok picked up his phone and dialed Yoona directly, saying simply, "I want to take Jessica to a midnight movie tonight, and I won't be able to take her home until around midnight. Can you and Seohyun help her out?"

He put the phone on speakerphone, and Jessica Jung could clearly hear Yoona laughing and saying, "Wow, you two have actually gotten to this point? Speaking of which, why should I stand up for you on your date?!"

"Hmm, I'll treat you to dinner sometime!"

"Tch, this girl can't be bought off with just one meal!"

"You can choose the time and place. By the way, once I write a Korean song, you guys can sing the first one..."

"Really? It's settled then!"

Yoona cheered and readily agreed.

After Li Shuo hung up the phone, Zheng Xiuyan looked a little strange and couldn't help but say, "This girl just sold me out like that?"

Li Shuo laughed and said, "You girls mostly started training at the company when you were thirteen or fourteen years old. You don't have much social experience, so naturally you believe whatever your friends say!"

Actually, there is an even more important reason why Yoona did not have any doubts: Jessica Jung and Lee Seok's relationship is developing too fast!

In the eyes of Lim Yoona and others, Lee Seok had just arrived in South Korea and was on his first official date with Jessica Jung. And yet, the two of them had already slept together—or rather, slept on the sofa…

In short, Jessica Jung kept her affair a secret from the team and that was that. Around 2 a.m., Lee Seok drove her back to the company apartment building without her knowledge.

After Jessica Jung got out of the car, she was surprised to find that the person who picked her up was her second manager, the same one who had led the team on their last trip to China. Then, Lee Seok whispered something in her ear, which completely put Jessica Jung's worries at ease:

"Don't worry, Agent Kim is one of my people. She accepted the financial assistance from Shuoguo..."

The secretariat under Han Eun-jung's leadership wasn't idle; on the contrary, she diligently arranged many seemingly insignificant things for Li Shuo's life here, such as the renovation of the apartment building in Yongsan District, and the infiltration and bribery of key personnel at SM Entertainment...
