After all, where have I seen you

Song Zhi hesitated for a few seconds and said: "I don't want to use Taehyung's songs, I want to keep those songs, and when he returns to Korea, they will be produced and released under his own name. I want to use the songs he taught. My stuff, written by myself. All the songs released under the name of S, I hope are written by the company and myself."

"Why are you so stubborn? Just this time, it's an emergency, it doesn't matter, you Taehyung will agree with you."

Song Zhi didn't speak, his eyes looked at the ground.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all." Zhang Yongji said.

Cui Zhiyu ran to the kitchen on one side, and saw the half-cooked ingredients in the pot, red and green, and the dishes were fragrant, "Wow! Dafa!"

"That's it, Zhiyi." Xie Lei continued to try to persuade the stubborn child, "When Brother Taehyung comes back, you can write a few more songs for him, and give him the work you think is the most satisfying. That's all right. Bar?"

As soon as Song Zhi raised his head, his eyes lit up.

Seeing the situation, Xie Lei dragged Song Zhiyi to their room. He knew where Zhiyi's things were kept. He opened the drawer where the composition book was stored, took out the two books, and handed them over to Zhiyi. "Choose a few songs carefully, pick a few songs that are suitable for you children."

Song Zhi hugged the two notebooks and burst into tears.

Xie Lei patted him on the shoulder, and went out to continue cooking by himself.

When the food was on the table, Song Zhi rushed out of the room, apparently ready to leave again.

Xie Lei held him back, "Leave after dinner!"

"I'm going to send the sheet music to the company."

"Look at what time it is now? It's time for everyone in the company to get off work!"

"They must all be working overtime..."

"Then you send it now because you want them to work longer, and you can wait until tomorrow morning to go to the company. It's good for everyone. No matter what, this song can't be produced until tomorrow's staff is all together, right?" He said at the same time. He said, pulling Song all the way to the dinner table.

During the meal, Zhang Yongji and the two asked what happened.

Xie Lei briefly talked about Jiang Dongxu's plagiarism of Zhi Yi's work.

After the two listened, they threw their chopsticks and cursed: "That kid is too much!" While cursing, they ate all the food and discussed how to punish the kid.

That night, Zhang Yongji and Cui Zhiyu posted anonymously on the Internet, exposing Jiang Dongxu's character, plagiarism and so on.

The company staff including Jin Shengyou were very satisfied with Song Zhiyi's selected songs, and immediately decided to hire them all.

"However... these songs are different from Zhiyi's style." Someone said.

Song Zhiyi said: "It was done a long time ago under the leadership of my music teacher, so it is different from my current style."

"That's it, it's true... I can see that it's similar to your work, but it's different. But it's pretty good."

The preparations for the debut album of Group S started again. After several months of hard work, the quality of the album released this time is even better than the original one, and the number of songs is also more.Of course, the children and company staff were also more tired, but S became popular more smoothly than expected.

The first debut album released by S, sold more than 20 copies in just one month, and ranked first on the Billboard World Albums Chart.Kim Sung Woo hit the iron while the iron was hot, and soon released the follow-up song of the regular series. As soon as it was on the list, it occupied the first place on the major music source websites in South Korea, and won the first place in the music programs of major TV stations.Not surprisingly, at the end of that year, S successfully won the Best Newcomer Group Award in 2020.

In the next few years, S has been going smoothly, album sales have soared all the way, and various awards have been softened.Popular in South Korea, out of Asia, to the world.Become the most popular male idol group in Korea today.

Until the incident in 2024...

And Jiang Dongxu's group was also in this year, 2024, the company unilaterally announced the early termination of the contract, and everyone in their group not only had to face the company's breach of contract and abandonment, but also a pile of bills.

The members of the group, the dismissed commissioners talked individually, and the members came out of the small conference room one after another, some crying, some laughing, some unwilling, some disheartened, and some raised their hands in support of the company's decision.

Jiang Dongxu was the last one to be talked to. Seeing the different attitudes of the members, he wanted to persuade them to rebel against the company, but all the members signed and pledged.

He walked into the meeting room, and after the dismissal commissioner told him a lot of nonsense, he took out a thick stack of contracts and asked Qiu Jiang Dongxu to sign.Jiang Dongxu resolutely refused to sign, "Give us some more time, and we will definitely become popular."

"Continuing on will not only waste the company's money, but also waste your time, won't it?"

"But you have wasted six years of our youth." Jiang Dongxu almost cried. "All my most precious time is given to the company!"

"If you disagree, please settle the debts owed to the company over the years." Then, the staff took out another document.Jiang Dongxu saw that there were some bills on it, counting from the time of his debut reserve, from 2019 to 2024, various expenses, page by page, ranging from the money for shooting the MV to the small meal expenses, some have already been paid. They have been repaid, and some have not been repaid. In the end, it must be a huge sum.

Jiang Dongxu directly turned to the final total amount of arrears. He felt incredible, and his eyes widened, "12 billion! How could it be so much?"

"This is the total arrears of the combination, divided among the nine of you, one person is 4000 million and [-] million."

Jiang Dongxu sneered, "I haven't received almost a single penny of our five-year account split. After deducting various expenses for each album, we share 20% of the account. Which time the money from the account split is not used for repayment. Why? Still owe more than 1 million?"

"A note was sent to each of you on the monthly settlement date. Isn't the itinerary, income, expenditure, and loan repayment items clearly written on it? Music, recording, and album work all need money, right? The MV studio, filming, clothing, and meals all cost money, and the money you spend on fan meetings is also quite a lot.”

"Are we all responsible for these? We only share 20% of the money from selling albums. Why are we counting all the money when it is spent?"

"It's not all on your shoulders. Over the years, the company has spent a lot of money for you. You should be very clear about the sales of the album. As for the amount of the 20% share, is it enough to pay off these debts? You should be aware of it. If in doubt, you can look at the bill again."

As he said that, the man pushed the bill in front of him again. Jiang Dongxu didn't bother to look at it, and sighed while touching his forehead.

"The company has treated you very well. If you continue according to the contract, it will not only waste your time, but also generate more debts. When the contract time is up, what will you use to repay it? Do other things while you are still young." thing?"

"Aside from singing and dancing, what else can I do?" Jiang Dongxu's tears fell, "I can't do anything..."

In the end, Jiang Dongxu still signed. His family's financial conditions are not bad, but if his parents are asked to use money to pay off these debts, he still can't say it.In order to settle these debts, he had to sign his name page by page on the termination contract.

The termination commissioner held the signed contract with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I hope you can move your things out of the dormitory within this week."

Jiang Dongxu nodded numbly.

The place where I stayed for six years, the place where I dedicated all my youth, if I say I don’t want myself, I don’t want myself anymore.When Jiang Dongxu walked out of the company gate and looked back at the logo of ST, he thought, maybe if he hadn’t made his debut at the beginning...if he hadn’t stolen Song Zhiyi’s song... Jiang Dongxu’s tears overflowed again when he thought of this, his life and future... …

Song Zhiyi's SNS video incident was successfully handled by Guan Lawyer. Many fans sympathized with Song Zhiyi. Passers-by who abused him before also turned their guns away. The child's emotions are deeper.

President Kim Sung Woo decided to give his child a vacation.

"Since debut, are you all tired? It's been five years...the kids haven't had a good rest. Otherwise, let's cancel this trip to China and sell less albums. I'll give you a big holiday, you guys Whether you want to travel abroad together or sleep at home, you guys have decided and let me know."

When they heard the news, the seven children jumped up happily and made a lot of noise, but the next day the captain Song Zhiyi came and said to Jin Shengyou:

"We discussed all night and decided to follow the original itinerary. We are afraid that the Chinese fans will be disappointed. They have been waiting for us for a long time. If expectations fail, the fans will be very sad."

Jin Shengyou smiled, "Aren't you tired? You guys."

Song Zhi stared at the dark circles under his eyes, "Tired. So...we strongly request to postpone the next comeback time. Hehehe..."

"The preparations for the next album are almost done, you want us to postpone it?" Kim Sung Woo said with a smile. "Okay, I'll take a vacation too."

At the last signing event in China, Song Zhiyi saw an acquaintance: Jin Ran.

Together with another male fan, he waited in line for an autograph. Song Zhiyi recognized him before he got to his seat.

The male fans who were with him were very excited, but Jin Ran was very indifferent. He smiled and said to Song Zhiyi: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to see you now."

"You escaped?" Song Zhiyi completely forgot about signing.

"I've been running away for several years."

"Where's my brother? And Brother Zhengyu?"

"It's in the back!"

"what?"

"Zhiyi, sign for me." Jin Ran said loudly, after Song Zhiyi signed, Jin Ran went to the next member.

Song Zhiyi stood up and looked at the crowd behind him, but there were too many fans, and he couldn't see the person he wanted to meet at all, and the movement of him standing up caused the fans to scream again.

Until their hands are numb, only the last few fans are left.

Kim Jung Woo walked towards him holding the album.

"Brother Zhengyu..."

The idol jumped at the fans and gave them a hug.

"You can't get in without some tricks." Zheng Yu whispered while hugging him.

Song Zhiyi was so excited that he looked more like the person who met his idol, "Where's Brother Taehyung?"

Jin Zhengyu smiled, "Zhiyi, I separated from you, Taehyung, don't be sad. This is the inevitable result between us. He is waiting for you in Korea..."

Song Zhiyi was at a loss...

"Zuichi, sign me up."

Kim Jung Woo walked away with the signed album.

In the following holidays, Song Zhiyi did not travel abroad with the members, nor did he sleep at home. He went to Daegu, where he took a long, long vacation with his favorite person.That was the most peaceful and happiest period of time for him in these years.
