Chapter 137: He Wants to Watch the Performance

o make a comeback this yearPerhaps it's more than just a turning point...………………On these two days of Chinese New Year, many people also came to Ji Jingyuan's house to visit, but this had little to do w...Ji Jingyuan's trip to Xia Guo wasn't like his solo trips in the peninsula, where he could manage with just himself and Park Bo-hyun. This time, they had an assistant along as well.

This time, the company sent him a whole team. Besides his personal manager, Park Jae-hyun, there were also assistants, bodyguards, security personnel, and people who liaise with Xia Guo company, and so on, totaling dozens of people.

To ensure that Chi Jingyuan could generate revenue for the company with high quality and efficiency within Asia, ** has also put in a lot of effort.

But it is clear that the harvest was very rich, enough to make ** happy.

"Brother, you had a meeting with the other department from the company a few days ago, what's your schedule like after that"

Ji Jingyuan took his phone and scrolled through the news for a while. He looked up at Park Jae-hyun and asked.

"Jǐngyuán, are you thinking that going to the peninsula would be a little easier than here I understand your recent schedule has been tiring, but you might be thinking too much…"

Bo-zai saw through Ji Jingyuan's thoughts at a glance. He smiled and took out his phone's notepad to introduce it to him:

"After we go back today, there are no activities in the afternoon. However, tonight you will have to return to your team and practice with the members, preparing for the singing stage and the family concert on the 24th and 25th."

On the 21st, she participated in a music show performance at Music Center. Besides that, she also had an advertising shoot with her team and some schedule appointments.

On the 22nd, he filmed a special VCR for SBS Inkigayo as Kim Tane, and there were two interview activities and brand stands. In the afternoon, there was also a music show performance. On the 23rd, in the morning, he prepared for the concert stage, and in the afternoon until evening, it was his personal advertisement shoot.

“24-25 is the **WEEK family concert, two days in a row. You EXO and FX will collaborate.”

On the 26th, you recorded a special song "You Are A Miracle" for SBS Inkigayo. The TV station specifically asked you to participate.

"Number 27..."

“Enough, brother. Stop talking. That's enough……”

Ji Jingyuan directly spoke up to stop Park Jae-hyun from continuing. He lowered his head and covered his forehead with his hand, feeling as if the entire sky had darkened considerably.

He had been flying back and forth between Xiaguo and Southeast Asia for almost half a month, already feeling exhausted. He was hoping that after returning to the Peninsula, he could relax a little bit.

He was still naive, though. At the end of the year, with EXO's popularity, wanting to relax at all was impossible.

Seeing Ji Jingyuan like this, Park Bo-gum smiled wryly and shook his head, putting away his phone while offering a word of comfort:

"However, the Peninsula itinerary isn't as tight as the one in Xia Guo. There are quite a few gaps for you to rest. Some less important announcements can also be delayed according to your schedule. The most important thing for you is that you won't have to fly back and forth, which should be good news."

"That's good news, compared to before."

Chi Jingyuan smiled wryly, finding amusement in the midst of hardship. He quickly adjusted his mindset, stopped dwelling on it, and started scrolling through his phone.

When he was active in Xia Kingdom, he often chatted with his relatives and friends, sending text messages from time to time to relieve boredom.

He flipped through his recent chat history with friends, and when he saw a familiar name, he suddenly remembered something.

He said, like last month or something, that he'd come to see their showcase.

He was just joking, but the other person took it seriously. They even messaged him later to remind him, I wonder why this sister is so enthusiastic.

Before his debut, Ji Jingyuan also performed on stage with the members several times at showcases, mainly to get familiar with performing.

To be honest, there isn't much to see. Most trainees and debuted artists are still too immature compared to those who have been in the industry for a while. Some lack the necessary skills and the audience isn't that large either.

But since he was the one who brought it up in the first place, Ji Jingyuan didn't want to let anyone down, besides, Pei Zhuxuan seemed quite excited about it.

After some thought, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to send a text message.

Then, soon enough, Park Soo-hyun replied. The two of them kept texting back and forth.

A few minutes later, Ji Jingyuan suddenly raised his head and asked Park Jae-hyun, "Brother, what time does my personal ad start shooting on the 23rd"

"Starting around 4 pm, we're expected to film until evening," Park Jae-hyeon said, checking his phone.

Can the shooting time be pushed back

"When will you push it"

Let's start it in the evening.

"It's fine to delay a bit, the advertising company is a familiar partner we've worked with many times. But if it starts in the evening, Jingyuan, you might have to shoot until late at night, and you have a concert the next day."

Park Jae-hyun nodded to indicate that there was no problem, but he still couldn't help but remind her with concern.

"I know, the concert doesn't start until the afternoon, it's fine... Then, you should communicate with them over there."

Okay.

Ji Jingyuan and Park Jae-hyun finished speaking and continued to bow their heads in response to the text messages.

…………

"Eoni, what are you doing, laughing so happily"

In the ** practice room, Jiang Shiqi couldn't help but speak up.

They were a temporary group, just formed to practice for the showcase in a few days. They had only sat down to rest for two minutes when they saw Jennie holding her phone and frantically texting someone.

Jiang Shibi had been observing for a while. Pei Zhuxuan not only sent text messages, but she also smiled with her lips pursed as she typed them. At a glance, one could tell that she was in a very good mood.

"Huh"

Suddenly interrupted while engrossed in her own world, Bae Joo-hyun jumped in surprise. Instinctively, she flipped her phone screen over, seemingly reluctant to let anyone see who she was chatting with.

But after flipping her phone over, she hesitated for a moment before honestly saying, "Kyungwon xi said he'll come see our showcase in a few days."

"Jingyuan is coming to see our showcase... Didn't he go on an overseas trip He didn't even attend EXO's comeback, is he coming back"

Jiang Sheqi seemed a little dazed, repeating the sentence, "But...you said we were supposed to keep this a secret" After realizing what she meant, she looked at Pei Zhuxuan in surprise and asked, "Wait, Unnie, when did you meet Jingyuan"

"It was just a few words I happened to exchange with him sometime ago..."

Jennie waved her hand and gave a brief summary, omitting some details.

"Goodness me, this is such a coincidence! I've been meaning to introduce you two for ages, and here you are, already getting acquainted behind my back!"

And even though Jingyuan and I have known each other for so long, he hasn't come to see my performances before. He's always so busy. How did he suddenly think of coming to the showcase...

Ginger Seob Ki's expression wasn't quite right. She gave Bae Joo-hyun a dubious once-over, remembering the knowing smile she had just given. It was a stark contrast to her usual demeanor, and a flicker of understanding crossed her eyes.

She only looks goofy when she smiles, but she's not stupid.

After making her own judgment, she immediately stopped asking and didn't pursue it any further.

"What are you saying What's so busy"

At this time, Sun Shengwan walked over with a few cups of water, handing one to each person. He then asked curiously.

"I just contacted Jingyuan, he said he'll come to our showcase in a few days, the one we're hosting with JYP."

Jeon Seob Ki simply explained without mentioning that it was communication from Park Soo Hyun's side.

"Jia That's pretty good, eh We could meet up. Oh, Jingyuan has been so busy lately, I haven't seen him in ages..."

Son Seung-wan was quite pleased to hear this, her eyes widened and she wore a cheerful expression.

Since their last get-together, Chi Jingyuan hasn't seen them for quite some time due to his busy schedule, only occasionally sending messages.

"Jingyuan must be surprised to see you, he definitely didn't expect such a big change after you beat him."

Jiang Sheqi recalled this, her face full of interest.

If Chi Jingyuan were here, he would be surprised, because Sun Shengwan had undergone a huge change compared to before after not seeing him for a while.

A few months ago, she was still a bit chubby, with a round face and thick legs. She wasn't very tall to begin with. Besides having a cute face, her overall appearance was somewhat ordinary.

However, Sun Shengwan's figure is now slender. Her originally chubby cheeks have also become much more defined, and she looks much fresher and better than before.

Mentioning this, Sun Shengwan recalled her own weight loss journey, shaking her head with a hint of fear.

She's been crazy dieting lately because she wants to participate in this showcase.

Although the company frequently holds trainee showcases, not just any trainee can get on stage. Usually, only trainees who the company favors and believes have debut potential, and are focusing on cultivating, will be given this opportunity. The rest can only join in the excitement, experiencing the atmosphere backstage and on stage.

Although Sun Shengwan was highly regarded by the company, she wasn't originally selected to participate in this performance due to her practice progress and physique.

However, the head of the department still gave her a chance, telling her that as long as she lost weight to the standard figure within half a month, she would be allowed to perform on the showcase stage this time.

For any trainee, a public stage performance opportunity is very rare.

Sun Shengwan made up her mind and used crazy dieting and training to lose weight as fast as possible. For a long time, she didn't eat anything every day, relying only on drinking water and occasionally chewing a few fruits to alleviate hunger and maintain energy.

This state persisted for quite some time. Under the double pressure of hunger and fatigue, she persevered, reaching the weight requirement set by the dormitory manager, earning her a performance opportunity at this showcase, and forming a team with Jiang Sheqi and a few others to prepare for the performance together.

This kind of persistence and determination is truly not something ordinary people can achieve. One can only say that beneath Sun Shengwan's harmless appearance lies an indomitable heart that will pay any price to achieve its goals.

Of course, to be honest, this approach is quite harmful to the body. However, weighing the pros and cons, for her right now, the stage and debut are still more important.

After the bitter memories, Sun Shengwan was also quite satisfied with her current figure and appearance. Thinking of Ji Jingyuan's surprised expression when he saw her, she couldn't help but hoho laughed twice, her rich expressions eagerly anticipating:

"I wonder what expression Jingyuan will have when he sees me."

Wouldn't he recognize me
