Chapter Eighty-One: Bae Joohyun

re will be no physical album released.The song has not yet been officially confirmed. After listening to the demo that Ji-won Park brought, Park Jin-young and the others were impressed and expressed t...Meanwhile, Sun Shengwan, the center of the discussion, was in turmoil. He felt things were changing too quickly.

Just now, Li Meizhu, who looked like she could eat people, actually smiled kindly at her, her eyes holding a hint of admiration and regret.

Sun Shengwan glanced at Chi Jingyuan standing beside her. It was all because of this person that the situation had taken such a sharp turn.

"Well, Xi is still a little green. She'll need you to look after her more often. After all, Meizhu has a lot of experience managing trainees."

With a smile, Chi Jingyuan said something and lightly patted Sun Shengwan's shoulder before gesturing towards Li Meizhu.

After Pool Jingyuan entered and had a conversation with Lee Mei-ju, Son Seong-wan's feelings of grievance gradually diminished, and his fist was no longer as clenched as before.

It was just that I had been holding back my tears, refusing to let them flow. But as soon as Ji Jingyuan patted me, they welled up and streamed down my cheekbones.

Son Shengwan inhaled sharply, wiping her tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand. She remained bowed.

"Okay, after winning, let's go back to the practice room and relax. You don't need to apologize to those trainees afterwards, after all, you all made some mistakes. I'll talk about the rest when I get there."

Li Meizhu saw that Sun Shengwan was a bit out of control, so she waved her hand and signaled that Sun Shengwan could go back.

"Congratulations!"

Sun Shengwan whispered a thank you and bowed to Lee Meizhu before departing. She was about to bow to Ji Jingyuan as well, but Ji Jingyuan waved his hand directly, indicating that it wasn't necessary, and told her to go back first.

Sun Shengwan glanced at him one more time, then left the office and closed the door.

"My goodness, I didn't expect you, Jingyuan, to be so close with a fresh-faced newcomer. Didn't I hear that you don't have many friends in the company Aside from trainees, is only Jiang Shibaqi considered a close friend from your year"

After Sun Shengwan left, Lee Mi-joo shook her head and teased Chi Kyeongwon with a question.

"Inside, I don't have many friends, most trainees I don't know, and I can't even remember their names."

Chi Jingyuan did not deny it, nodding in affirmation.

After finishing the important business, he didn't leave directly. He chatted with Li Meizhu for a while longer. She told him many stories about what happened between the trainees, which made Chi Jingyuan find it quite interesting.

After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to the other party and returned to EXO's practice room.

…………

"See, I told you it would be quick."

After Pooling Jingyuan returned, he shrugged at his members as soon as he walked in.

"...."

Several members exchanged glances, looking at each other without speaking.

Returning to his seat and taking out his phone, Jiang Sheqi's message had already arrived, saying that she would definitely treat him to dinner tonight. Chi Jingyuan smiled and replied, making an appointment for the time.

“Alright, break time is over. Jingyuan's back, so let’s continue practicing.” Kim Jun Myeon stood up and clapped his hands, walking to the sound system to start playing music.

"Hmm..." The members all stood up and stretched their bodies. Ji Kyeong-won also put down his phone, picked up a drink and gulped it down a few times before walking out.

"Se-hoon"

All the members stood in a circle in the practice room, except for Wu Shixun who was still holding his phone. Although he had stood up, he hadn't moved and kept tapping on his phone.

Here comes!

Wu Shixun gave his phone one last tap, then shoved it into his bag and hurried over.

……

After practice in the afternoon, Ki Jung-won politely declined his teammates' invitation to dinner.

He took out his cell phone and tapped a few times, sending a message before going to wait at the back door of the company.

This was the time when trainees would eat after class. After going downstairs, Ji Jingyuan could see groups of trainees, both male and female, walking out towards the company.

** Entertainment naturally has its own canteen. There are meal supplements for both artists and trainees, with artists having extra meals, and trainees receiving things like yogurt daily as nutritional supplements.

But after going a few times, Ji Jingyuan didn't feel it was quite to his taste and stopped going. Most of the EXO members also don't like going there. As long as they have enough time, they usually go out to eat.

If it's a small gathering of three or four people, usually those with better family backgrounds would take the initiative to treat, like Kim Jun-myeon. His family is doing pretty well, he's quite enthusiastic and as the captain, often treats everyone to meals.

Pool Jingyuan has also been invited many times, anyway everyone takes turns. Boys this age aren't too stingy and generally have a good face, they won't let themselves look too petty.

There isn't anyone who is completely selfish and always tries to take advantage of others among the members.

Besides debuted idols, some trainees from good families or who want to improve their meals also wouldn't go to the cafeteria.

The ** company building is located in Apgujeong, Gangnam District, which is a very prosperous economic area. There are many restaurants and eateries surrounding it. Whether it's the nutritional value or taste, they are definitely much better than the ** cafeteria.

Ji Jingyuan was waiting at the place where they hadn't left yet. Whenever trainees passed by, they would greet him after seeing this senior idol who had already debuted, and he would smile and nod in return.

As the rising star who became popular recently thanks to his television drama, Park Ji-sung, although he hasn't been in the company for a long time, has quite a reputation among trainees. Both good and bad.

He may not know many people, but most trainees know him.

He casually observed for a while and found that almost all the trainees who went out to eat were in groups, no one was alone.

There are also a few couples who went out alone, and their expressions when they talked and chatted didn't look like ordinary friends. They probably weren't going for a meal, but rather a date.

Just as Chi Jingyuan was observing the arriving people with great interest and waiting for someone, a light footstep came, and a girl's figure entered his line of sight.

She is not tall, appearing to be less than 1.6 meters. She has medium-length hair that falls to her shoulders, with a long fringe that almost covers her forehead. When she walks, her head remains slightly bowed.

The reason she was able to catch Chi Jingyuan's attention was because she was different from the other trainees who had gone out to eat with him before. She was alone, and there was always a sense of coldness and melancholy surrounding her, making her seem unapproachable.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the girl's face and realized he seemed to have seen her before. After recalling for a moment, he remembered who she was.

Once, I happened to take a look at a face, a name that occasionally appears in the mouths of people around me, Park Soo-hyun.

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networker, the feeling of grief still lingered heavily on her."Long time no see, Tzuyu xi, what a coincidence."Chi Jingyuan came to her side and directly said something harsh.Although the two people had only...
