Chapter 58 The Real Uncle and Lolita
All the way, Li Shenglin drove while listening to Hong Canmin teasing Xiao Huhu on one side and telling the story of that person in detail.
Luo Bo, male, 33 years old, has been the agent of a certain well-known artist. Anyway, Li Shenglin doesn't know about it, so just ignore it... He is very capable and has many connections, his character is also passable!
Actually, this person's personality is not very suitable for the entertainment industry. A very straightforward person will likely suffer in this circle of deceit, but maybe everyone has a good side, and Luo Bo is actually doing quite well.
But heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds. In his 30s, his two-year-old child died of illness, and since then, his wife has been depressed and unhappy. Last year, she was hospitalized due to long-term depression, and he had no choice but to resign to take care of her. Two disasters made their originally not bad family situation become poor...
It's not that no one is willing to help him. For example, Hong Zhanmin's uncle, Hong Shengcheng, is someone who wants to help him. On the one hand, this person has the ability, and on the other hand, he also wants to lend a helping hand.
But this person was too stubborn, seemingly unwilling to owe others too much. In the end, Hong Shengcheng had no choice but to introduce him to Hong Canmin and gave him a minimum interest rate. To be honest, Hong Canmin understood his uncle's intention and never went to collect the money, but this person still repaid the debt on time and voluntarily, refusing to accept any delay...
In the end, all the houses were sold, and his wife left after all. Now he just rents a place casually and works odd jobs to make ends meet... The most ruthless thing is that he also refused Hong Shengcheng's invitation, saying that he didn't want to accept other people's kindness...
What a weirdo! Listening to Hong Canmin's story, Li Shenglin couldn't help but feel emotional. But fate was indeed too cruel to this person!
Arrived at the place, oh dear, it's really run down. This place is even more broken than KARA's dormitory.
Before entering the door, I heard a lively little girl's voice. It has to be said that this broken place doesn't even have good sound insulation. "Wow, Uncle Luo, come and see quickly! There is actually a Ferrari parked downstairs! Who would have thought that people living in such a place also drive Ferraris? Indeed, they are all like you, Uncle, deep and not showing off!"
"What else am I hiding? Haven't you all seen that I'm just pasting paper boxes here!" From the tone and attitude, it's not as bad as Li Shenglin had imagined, no signs of being disheartened. This is what Li Shenglin appreciates - a man can't be stuck in the past, he must bravely face the present and future!
"But Xiaomin, how did you come from Incheon to Seoul all by yourself? Aren't your parents worried?"
"This isn't a holiday, they know I'm coming here so they're at ease, and since I'm going to high school in Seoul, of course I have to get familiar with the place first!"
Li Shenglin interrupted Hong Canmin's knocking action, he wanted to continue listening, to know more about this person called Luo Bo... why did it feel a bit like eavesdropping, or was it gossip?
"How did you suddenly think of coming to Seoul?"
"My vocal teacher doesn't plan to open a school anymore, plans to set up an entertainment company instead, and invites me to be a trainee. My parents and I have all agreed, so...I'll need to ask Uncle Luo to take care of me more in the future!"
"How can a messy paper box take care of you?" Luobo's words actually carried a hint of teasing, although this person was stubborn, but didn't seem to be a conservative person...
"Uncle Luo, weren't you a manager before? In the future when I debut, you can be my manager, I'll definitely be more popular than your previous artists!" This little girl named Minya seems to have a bit of a bold personality too, it's quite interesting to see these two together...
"HONG~HONG!" The little whoops that had been playing with Li Shenglin's collar seemed to be able to mimic a simple syllable again, so they couldn't bear to listen anymore and knocked on the door instead.
"So it's Mr. Hong, hello, if I'm not mistaken, today isn't the day to return the money, is it?" Li Shenglin finally saw this Luo Bo, who he had heard of but never seen before.
He's not short, about 180cm, and quite handsome. Although he knows his situation isn't great, it's clear that this person takes care of himself, giving a good impression. Li Shenglin couldn't help but reflect on his past actions, thinking they were indeed a bit excessive, but he still comforted himself, thinking that the friends he made in such a way were truly good friends...
Before Li Shenglin and the others could speak, that little girl named Minya was not having it. She pouted her thin lips, trying to glare with her smiling eyes, making herself look fierce, "Are you the bad people who lent money to Uncle Luo at high interest when Auntie Luo was sick? Get out, all of you! My uncle has already pasted paper boxes, he doesn't have any money for you bad people. When I become a big star in the future, I'll help him pay it back!"
Xiao Yatou seems to be about the same age as Zhiyan. If it were an ordinary person, they would think of this as a child's matter. However, the two people in front of her knew about Zhiyan's feelings for Li Shenglin, so naturally, they thought of the scene where Zhiyan confessed...
But however you think about it, Park Ji-yeon's oppa is still an uncle and a loli.
So Li Shenglin didn't use an attitude towards children on her either, "I think you've misunderstood, we came here to find your Uncle Luo for something important!"
Few adults don't treat themselves as kids, Fang Minya is a bit happy, and the other party also brought children, and looking at their clothes, they really don't look like collectors, but Lao Da Shu clearly said something about returning money?
Hong Canmin then said to Luo Bo, "Luo big brother, it's all been said that the money doesn't need to be repaid! Besides, the amount you've already repaid has exceeded the principal, so just forget about it!"
Fang Minya felt that her brain was a bit inadequate, what's going on here? Those who owe money don't want to pay back, and those who lend at high interest rates don't want to collect...
"No way, a man's word is as good as a bond, besides, we've all signed the agreement, it's in black and white, you can't go back on your word!"
Fang Minya was speechless. This Luo uncle was also too stubborn, although she liked him because of this, but that was a lot of money, "Uncle..."
"Men speak, women don't interrupt!"
Fang Minya was delighted, Uncle finally treated me like a woman, not a little kid anymore...
"Alright, return the money if you're willing to, but I'm offering you a job introduction, do you want it?" Hong Canmin put aside his unrealistic thoughts...
"I've already told your uncle, I won't accept his kindness!"
"It's not my uncle, I want to introduce you to a job opportunity, it's this person next to me, he needs an agent!"
"Are you going into the entertainment industry? Why?" Luo Bo curiously looked at Li Shenglin.
"Do you know me?"
"Ah, the author of 'Little Wine Bay' and 'Today You're Going to Marry Me'!" As he spoke about his area of expertise, Luo Bo naturally exuded a sense of confidence, but seemed somewhat hesitant. Finally, as if confirming something, "Because I was taking care of my late wife, many things didn't get enough attention... it seems you made a guest appearance in 'Coffee Prince 1st Shop'?"
No need to add more, this is absolutely a dark history! Looking at Hong Canmin's twitching mouth corner, Li Shenglin thought secretly. However, this guy's eyes are really poisonous, he can still recognize himself! His memory is so good...
P.S: Luobo is temporarily replaced by book friend Tianluo, as for Fang Minya... I'd say Luobo is a brainless but elegant fan of hers.
