As MC Park Ji-yeon announced loudly, Yoon Bo-mei immediately covered her mouth with both hands with an expression of disbelief on her face. It wasn't until another MC Zhou Mi handed the trophy to Park Chorong's hand that the six members of Apink believed that they had really won the first place.
.
You must know that this is the singing competition stage of "The Show". None of them expected beforehand that Apink could beat Tara to win the first place with an extremely narrow gap.
I don’t blame Zhongcheng for being weak, I can only say that Tara’s fan base in Korea is completely different from Apink. After all, Apink is going to be huge this year, and even if Girls’ Generation hits the dead end, who will succeed is still unknown.
Therefore, the four Taras did not feel sorry. After Park Chorong gave her acceptance speech, Park Ji-yeon and Jung Eun-ji immediately hugged and congratulated each other. They are both from 93line, not to mention they have a common relative, IU Lee Ji-eun.
The encore stage was about to begin. Park Ji-yeon hugged Eun-ji and was about to walk off the stage. Suddenly, she was quietly grabbed by Eun-ji, and then she heard Eun-ji's deliberately lowered voice.
"Zhiyan, I have something to ask you. Let's meet in the waiting room later, Kumawa..."
"Mo?"
Long Zaizi was a little confused and couldn't figure out what this relative of the same age could ask her to do. However, Zheng Eunji did not go into details because the encore stage began.
When Zhiyan saw this, she could only suppress her surprise and followed the other three unnies back to the waiting room angrily. Of course, her weird behavior immediately attracted their attention.
Where did the roaring dragon go? He was so quiet, and so on, and he still imitated others to hold his chin up and think about life. This was too disobedient, so Enjing hurriedly sat down next to Zhiyan and asked with concern:
"Maknae, what about Gu Lei? You're not angry because you didn't get the first place, are you?"
"Ani, Ani..." Zhiyan hurriedly raised her head and shook her hands to deny it, and then told everyone exactly what happened on the stage.
At this time, Eun-jeong and others were also stunned. Although the truth about the troll incident had been revealed, their popularity in South Korea was no longer what it used to be, so everyone could not imagine what Zheng Eun-ji could ask Ji-yeon for.
The waiting room became very quiet for a while, and everyone was lost in thought. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Unexpectedly, the person who came was Zheng Eunji. However, she was not alone. Apink's captain was following behind her.
Park Chorong.
What happened? Park Chorong's appearance made Tara and others look at each other. Didn't he say that Zheng Eunji had something to ask for? Why did the leader of the group also come with him?
Fortunately, the mystery was soon solved. Pu Chulong bowed solemnly first, and then said with a smile:
"Senior nim, Miane, the person who really wants to ask your help is actually me..."
------------------
After entering December, Zhou Jing's workload suddenly soared. After all, it was approaching the end of the year. In addition to his normal work, he also had to add various reports and summaries, so working overtime became his daily routine.
Fortunately, Goo Hara is also very busy. Her solo reality show "HARA ON&OFF: THE GOSSIP" has started filming and is expected to be officially released after Christmas.
So she didn't have time to feed Zhou Jing during this period. Of course, even if she came to Zhou Jing, she wouldn't have time to feed him. He himself had nothing to eat, and often a bowl of instant noodles would settle the battle.
But at this moment, Cao Xuefeng was looking for trouble for him. Sansteel headquarters asked DPS to send someone back before New Year's Day to make an annual status report on the project.
Xu Zhibin originally ordered Cao Xuefeng, but he didn't expect that guy to kick the ball directly to Zhou Jing on the grounds that he was rushing to meet the construction schedule. This was so good that Zhou Jing had to find time to write report materials.
If that's all, that's it. The problem is that Crystal will follow the crew back to Seoul before Christmas. A few days ago, she was discussing with Zhou Jing on the phone how they should spend their first Christmas together in a romantic way.
It's a rough time now, maybe he will go back to the Magic City after Christmas, and the exchange between the two is completely missed again. Until now, Zhou Jing has not dared to tell Jing Jing about this, for fear of causing an instant explosion of Jing Jing.
Alas, long-distance relationships are not easy. Zhou Jing smiled bitterly and continued to write materials in front of the case, when Yin Xiaozhen suddenly opened the office door and walked in.
"Boss, the front desk just received your express delivery, I brought it to you." Yin Xiaozhen said while putting the express box in her hand on Zhou Jing's table.
"Where did my express delivery come from?" Zhou Jing asked casually without raising his head.
Surprisingly, Yin Xiaozhen didn't answer. When Zhou Jing noticed something was wrong and raised his head, he saw that the expression on Yin Xiaozhen's face was very strange, a bit like gossiping.
What the hell? There must be something wrong with the express delivery. Zhou Jing picked up the box and took a closer look at it in confusion. He was stunned because the sender wrote A Cube Entertainment Company.
Isn't this Apink's agency? The statement they issued felt strange to Zhou Jing when he saw it, but he was so busy that he had no time to think about it.
But what does the express delivery in front of her mean? No wonder Yin Xiaozhen showed such an expression. She wished that Zhou Jing would open it in front of her, so as to satisfy her burning heart of gossip.
It's a pity that Zhou Jingcai didn't let her do it. After putting the express down casually, he signaled to Yin Xiaozhen that she could go out. Unexpectedly, Yin Xiaozhen didn't move and still stood there for a long time before she said:
"Commander Zhou, I... would like to take a day off tomorrow, is that okay?"
"Oh? Are you feeling unwell or have something happened at home?" Zhou Jing immediately asked with concern.
"No, actually..."
Yin Xiaozhen began to hesitate when speaking, and Zhou Jing looked puzzled. Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to make up her mind to confess the real reason for asking for leave.
The thing is like this, today a junior who Yin Xiaozhen had a good relationship with in college suddenly called her. It turned out that the junior worked in a travel agency after graduation. Because he graduated from the Chinese Department, he was responsible for tourists from China.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Two days ago, she received a business group. This group came to South Korea to discuss cooperation with Daewoo Shipbuilding. In addition to being a tour guide, this junior also works as a translator, and the question
It lies in this translation.
She didn't understand those professional terms at all. When the two met for the first time, both of them were confused by what she said. In desperation, she thought of Yin Xiaozhen.
In any case, Yin Xiaozhen served as Zhou Jing's assistant in DPS company, so he was definitely much better than her as a second-hand swordsman. However, Yin Xiaozhen refused at first, what a joke.
Asking for leave to work part-time, she wanted to let the company know that she should be fired at the last minute, but the junior is also very pitiful. She will lose her job if a customer complains, and she is not from Seoul. She comes to Seoul from the countryside to work hard alone.
It's not easy to wait.
Well, what else could Yin Xiaozhen say? After thinking about it again and again, she decided not to hide it. Although she was really embarrassed, she hoped to get Zhou Jing's understanding. However, Zhou Jing showed great interest after hearing the explanation.
"You said that business group is also a state-owned enterprise, and this time it wants to supply titanium alloy materials to Daewoo Shipbuilding?"
"Well, that's what my junior said."
Yin Xiaozhen was very surprised at Zhou Jing's reaction. She didn't know that Zhou Jing acted like this when he heard the words "titanium alloy" because he instantly thought of someone.
Wang Haiqiao, Zhou Jing's roommate in the same dormitory when he was in college, or more accurately his upper bunk, was from Henan Province. He was very tall, almost 190cm tall, but he was very skinny. He was nicknamed "" by his classmates.
Wang Ma Gan".
When Zhou Jing was demobilized from the army and returned to university, Wang Haiqiao had already completed his graduate studies at the same school. He originally had the opportunity to stay and work in Shanghai. It is said that many foreign companies gave him offers at that time, and the salary offered was quite good.
However, Wang Haiqiao refused them all. His choice was to return to Henan Province and join a military research institute. Zhou Jing vaguely remembered that they were studying titanium alloy materials for ships.
Titanium is an important structural metal developed in the 1950s. Titanium alloys have the advantages of high melting point, high hardness, strong plasticity, low density, and corrosion resistance. They were originally used in the aerospace and military fields.
Nowadays, with the development of technology, titanium materials are gradually used in marine engineering, chemical industry, medical equipment, automobiles, construction and other industries. However, the processing of this titanium material is not simple.
At present, there are only four countries in the world with complete titanium industrial production technology, the United States, Russia, China and Japan. Even Europe does not have the production of titanium sponge.
What’s interesting is that there are big differences in the application of titanium in those four countries. 70% of the titanium industrial products in the United States and Russia are used in aerospace, which is mainly military, and only 30% are used in civilian applications.
In China and Japan, on the contrary, 80% to 90% are in the civilian industry, and less than 20% are used in aviation and military industries. Therefore, Japan is our biggest competitor for the export of civilian titanium products.
Due to historical reasons, South Korea, a major shipbuilding country, has always chosen Japanese products. It is extremely difficult for domestic products to enter this market. Therefore, Zhou Jing is not optimistic about the prospects of cooperation between that domestic enterprise and Daewoo Shipbuilding.
What's more, Zhou Jing felt that they seemed to lack the necessary experience and preparation for foreign negotiations, otherwise they would not have made such a stupid mistake as looking for a translator from a travel agency.
Forget it, after all, they are from China. Although they are not in the same industry, they are still working for the country overseas. I can help if I can, not to mention grabbing the business where I had a good life. So Zhou Jing immediately
Made up my mind.
"Xiao Yin, let's do this. I have approved your fake. If there is not enough time in one day, just tell me, don't be afraid. If something goes wrong, I will be responsible."
"Ah? Commander Zhou, isn't this appropriate?" Yin Xiaozhen was completely shocked.
"There's nothing appropriate or inappropriate. I only have one request, do it well. If you mess up, I will settle the score later, haha..."
"Yes, please rest assured, leader, and ensure that the task is completed."
Yin Xiaozhen left the office in a hurry. Zhou Jing looked at her back but couldn't help but laugh secretly. Good guy, she even learned to express herself like this. After all, she is still a Korean girl, tsk tsk...
By the way, there was also the express delivery. Seeing that no one was finally in the office, Zhou Jing took it over and opened it, but he was stunned when he saw what was inside.
Why is it Tara's signed album, or the N4 team's collective signature? What the hell? Zhou Jing glanced at the express label subconsciously. That's right, it's A Cube Entertainment, not MBK.
Well, he continued to scroll down and found that there was a signed album inside, and he was right. It was Apink's latest comeback album "Pink LUV". It had all the signatures of all six Apink people, and especially "To Week" was written on it.
"Standing King".
In fact, by this time Zhou Jing already understood that this was most likely the result of Apink or A Cube Company asking Tara to sign it. After all, the whole of Korea knew that he was a fan of Tara, but he couldn't figure out why the other party did this.
Is it really because he protected Apink's fans in Busan? Impossible, that would be too much to make a fuss about. Zhou Jing shook his head and put the album back into the box. Suddenly he saw an envelope at the bottom of the box.
The moment he opened the envelope, two tickets fell out of the envelope. When Zhou Jing picked it up and saw it, he was shocked and emoji-like. The reason was very simple. It was clearly written on the tickets...
“Merry Christmas T-ARA Family Concert”
