Chapter Nineteen 《Some》

setting it up, so close that Chi Jingyuan could smell the shampoo scent from her hair.Today is August 1st, this is the EXO comeback pre-heat debut stage M!Countdown backstage.And today, to hype up an..."Oh, I didn't expect to meet the president here. I was so scared..."

“That boy just now was Yuan, a member of the male group EXO, right I even chased after the TV drama he acted in last year. He’s from ** company, how come he’s here with president Park Jin-young”

"The president seems to be very kind to Yuan. It's quite rare to see that."

"I don't know, but up close he's really handsome. And I think he's wearing no makeup, he looks natural... Oh my..."

"Stop looking, everyone's gone away..."

Only after Park Jeong-yeong and Ji Kyoung-won walked away did a few hushed conversations begin here.

……

Next week there will be a monthly evaluation, so the trainees in the company have been very busy these days. Jingyuan probably hasn't participated in this kind of evaluation before, right

After a tour, the visit to the right building was over. The two walked into the elevator. Park Jin-young smiled and asked.

"I'm interested in it because I haven't experienced trainee life yet, so it seems appealing."

"Hee hee..."

Hearing Ji Jingyuan's answer, Park Zhen-young couldn't help but shake his head, a smile playing on his lips.

Then he asked again: "What do you think of this building, Jingyuan Is it ** enough for you guys"

Qi Jingyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat at a loss for words.

He felt that the left building was dull and unremarkable, nothing special except for its age. The impression it left on him was even less than the few female trainees he had just glanced at.

The five people I just met, two of them were pretty cute.

"Well, overall it's not bad, but some parts look a bit old." After rephrasing his words, Ji Jingyuan decided to still express his honest feelings, just in a more tactful way.

"Haha... Sure enough, it's you, Jingyuan. That's right, after all, this building has been used for many years."

Park Jin-young burst into laughter and patted Jiyeong's shoulder. He wasn't surprised by the answer at all, but he still gracefully added, "I've already made arrangements. The building will be closed for three days after tomorrow to undergo renovations and repairs. Things should be much better after the renovation is complete. Come visit again then."

"If we renovate here, where will the trainees go" asked Ji Jingyuan curiously.

All the trainees are temporarily practicing and taking classes on the left building. The left side has already cleared out floors two and three in advance.

"That's it..."

After that, Park Jung-Hyung took Ji Kyeong-Won for a brief tour of the left building. They spent about ten minutes looking around before heading upstairs for a meeting together.

The left building's renovation and space are clearly much better than the right one, showcasing the stark difference in treatment.

The meeting lasted quite a while, with both sides discussing the collaboration project at length. However, since the intention to collaborate had already been confirmed beforehand, the atmosphere remained relatively harmonious.

In the meeting room, besides Ji Chang Wook, everyone else were staff and management from both companies. There was no involvement from other artists, including this project's other protagonist, Suzy Bae.

Although Bae Suzy is highly valued and popular at JYP, she seemingly doesn't have much say in the company's planning.

Actually, besides a very small number of people, most artists cannot influence the operations of their agency. It's already very special that someone like Ji-won Park, a newcomer, can participate.

Chi Jingyuan was also very measured, listening attentively throughout the entire process. He did not express any opinions on other matters, only chiming in at the end when they were discussing the song. He mentioned that he had written a male-female duet song before and could go back and record a demo for them to listen to. If they liked it, they could consider using it as a collaboration.

Everyone agreed with his proposal, and there would be more than just one candidate song. ** gained a general understanding of Ji-seong's songwriting abilities through this comeback album, and Park Jin-young was also interested, so he agreed.

Seeing his opinion passed, Chi Jingyuan smiled on his face, but sighed in his heart.

I'm already exhausted from practicing, and I have to work overtime when I get back.

After discussing the details further, the meeting finally came to an end.

After bidding each other farewell and returning to **, Ji-sung didn't go with the other staff members to report to the higher-ups. Instead, he went straight back to the practice room and sent a message to Taeyeon on his phone:

"Nuna, are you free tomorrow There's a duet track that needs recording for a demo. Would you like to help"

How do you know we don't have an announcement tomorrow!! I happen to be free tomorrow, it's a small case, it seems like you also know that Nana has a great singing voice... A collaboration song, did you write it

Taeyeon's reply came quickly, and from the lively wording you can imagine Taeyeon's expression right now., EXO returned to the stage to receive another award, the "Popularity Award from Netizens." This was their second award of the day.After briefly sharing their thoughts, the members returned to the art...
