Chapter 102: Being Cheated Again
Li Shenglin was flustered and said, "Isn't this what you meant?"
Liu Zai Shi said helplessly, "You ask me how to do it? What's your goal?"
Uh...this doesn't seem to have... "The goal is...to be more famous..."
"Even more famous... you can't even handle your current popularity, what's the point of being even more famous?"
"Then I..."
Liu Zai Shi took a sip of wine, "I'm thirsty, Ming Xiu Ge you talk to him..."
"Sheng Lin, to be honest, I haven't seen many overnight sensations like Shi in these years, but there have been a few. However, many of them became shooting stars instead of constant stars, do you know why?"
"How did Li Shenglin know?" "I don't know!"
"It's because they're too eager for quick success, you know that the popularity that comes from sudden outbursts is all fake, it comes quickly and goes quickly... Look at Stone Bro, his popularity is absolutely top-notch in Korea, but he climbed up step by step, these fans are all solid supporters, they won't change in 10 or 20 years!"
Park Myung-soo said here, Li Shenglin somewhat understood, "Brother, your meaning is that I should gather popularity now?"
"That's all it means, anyway. Just don't rush and take big steps, that's fine! And the process of solidifying the foundation is itself a process of increasing popularity!"
Why do these two brothers talk in such a roundabout way?
"Brother, I've finished this cup. Don't beat around the bush with me anymore, just tell me what you want me to do directly. The only ones I can trust are my family and you few brothers!" After saying that, he raised his head and downed it...
So everyone likes to be friends with people who are straightforward, and Liu Zai Shi is no exception. What they appreciate most about Li Sheng Lin is that he is a man of his word, says what he means, and never beats around the bush.
"Your popularity comes from the role of Yoon Ji-ho, and with the hot broadcast of the TV series, as well as overseas broadcasts, it will continue to rise; so you don't need to worry about this aspect of your popularity, what you need to improve is your own Lee Seung-lin's popularity..."
Li Shenglin thought he might have had too much to drink and his brain wasn't working properly. "Is there a difference?"
"Just like today when we were filming, Shin Feng-shan called you Ji-hu OPPA, I think you've also seen fans like that before?" After getting a positive response, Liu Zai-shi continued, "These fans like the Yoon Ji-hoo on screen, not you Lee Seung-jin..."
"Brother, you are my real brother! Although I somewhat understand, don't tell me what and why, just tell me what to do!"
"Whatever brother says, you'll do?"
"A real man says what he means and means what he says!"
"Come on, let's go for a walk!"
"Alright, Mingxiu ge, cheers!"
Looking at the two seemingly accomplished villains... thinking back to when three people got drunk and sold themselves, Li Shenglin hesitantly asked, "You guys aren't going to cheat me again, are you?"
Liu Zai Shi's expression turned serious, "How could I, as your brother, possibly cheat you? I'm telling you responsibly, it's a good thing!"
Park Myung-soo also nodded, "It's all good and no harm for you!"
But you two have this sneaky smile on your faces, it's really making me worried...
"Really?"
"Really! You should thank your brother Heng Dun too, he's worried sick about you!"
"Yes, later you must drink a few more cups with Heng Dun to thank him..."
Li Shenglin's curiosity was completely piqued..."When are Hengdun and the others arriving, it's killing me with anxiety!"
"Hehe, no rush, let's keep drinking!"
"Knock knock knock" Someone is knocking on the door...
"I'm going!" Li Shenglin's enthusiasm has been completely mobilized by his two older brothers now...
As a result, he opened the door and didn't see anyone, but saw a wall..."Sorry, you've come to the wrong place!"
After finishing speaking, Li Shenglin slammed the door shut again, what a disappointment...
"Knock, knock, knock" continued to knock on the door. Li Shenglin was helpless, "Didn't I tell you that you came to the wrong place?" But taking a closer look at the person in front of him, it seemed like the promotional poster from the barbecue shop entrance... So it seems...
"Hello, Jiang Hudu!" Although it is said that this person and Li Shengji are very close, but that's just a working relationship; even if their personal relationship is good, as the saying goes, "those who go out to mix will eventually have to pay back"... As a man of principle, not involving his wife and children in trouble is one of Li Shenglin's life principles...
"Haha, I heard them say that you guys are having dinner here, so I just came over to take a look, didn't expect to be shut out..."
This voice... Li Shenglin is impressed, he also went to Shi Ge's wedding, and remembers there was a vagabond rabbit...
"You're Yun Zhihou, and you're Li Shenglin, right?" Jiang Hudu's big head leaned in close to Li Shenglin, scrutinizing him carefully before patting his shoulder. "Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you!"
Is this brother's strength great, or is he retaliating against me for closing the door just now?
But this physique is too oppressive, if a real fight breaks out, Li Shenglin really doubts whether he has the courage to take action...
"Alright, Tiger Dong, you're at it again, scaring the newbies... Sheng Lin is my little brother, so you'd better take good care of him from now on..."
"Your brother is just like my own, right?" By the time he finished speaking, two-thirds of the meat that had just been cooked was already gone. "I'll definitely take care of him just like I did with Seung-ki..."
Your sister, you are Lee Sung-ki, your whole family is Lee Sung-ki...
"By the way, what's the gathering for today? I just heard the store staff say that Lu Hongzhe went to another store to find you guys, probably got lost?"
Here, Liu Zhi's identity is just right, "Isn't this the time when Lin comes back from abroad? It's the promotional period for the TV series, so I just finished my HAPPY TOGETHER and thought it was a good opportunity for everyone to get together..."
"Ah, Sheng Lin, I and Shi Zai are both brothers, you can't be thick with one and thin with the other. You're in a great situation now, since you've been on 'HT', then you must come to my Knee Cover Daoist once..."
This is a good thing, but you eat meat with your head down on this side, and talk at the same time. How do I know if you're joking or coming true?
Fortunately, Liu Zai Shi secretly gave a glance, Li Sheng Lin understood, raised his wine glass, "Then thank you, Brother Hu Dong, I'll drink it!"
To be honest, this is the first time Jiang Hudu has looked at Li Shenglin with a straight eye since entering the house. "Not bad, it's refreshing! Those who like to pretend are all despised by me. Your personality, Shenglin, I like it! In this regard, you're better than Shengji!"
I knew it, I said how could Jiang Hudong with this kind of personality get along so well with Li Shengji who is so hypocritical. Now it seems like they are quite close, but their personalities have determined that they can't actually be that close after all...
"I also think I get along with Tiger Dong, we're both straightforward people, it's really tiring to mix in this circle. Come on, let me toast you another glass!" Li Shenglin is very direct, but not stupid, he knows how to cater to others' tastes...
