Chapter 56: May You Be Safe and Sound

  From Li Qi's hand, he took over two ID cards, and didn't know where they came from. With these two cards, Chu Jingyan could take Miss Li Zhi Xian in and out of the building in front of him freely.

  Looks like it has high privileges.

  Li Qijun bowed and left, Chu Jingyan hung the ID card around his neck and handed another one to Li Zhihuan, saying: "Is there a particular place you'd like to visit?"

  It may not have been expected that the current scene would unfold, or it may not have been thought that the person accompanying him on a tour of MBC TV would be none other than Chu Jingyan, who doesn't look particularly authoritative. In any case, Li Zhihuan now looks somewhat awkward.

  Recently, I received a call from home and my parents, who have been working in their hometown, are coming to Seoul for an interview. There is a high possibility that they will stay in Seoul afterwards. For Lee Ji-hyun, who has been studying alone in Seoul, there couldn't be any better news than this.

  And then her father told her an even better news.

  From a very early age, Li Zhihuan had an urge to become an actress. This girl who loves taking selfies the most in her daily life has one more thing to do when taking selfies.

  That's mimicking various expressions. Without mentioning how much it helps with acting skills, at least in Lee Ji-hoon's view, it has a lot of uses.

  Li Zhi Xian didn't know why her father, who had never liked to use his connections before, suddenly pulled out a connection from who-knows-where for her, and it was this person in front of her.

  Okay, Li Zhi Xian felt it wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

  Lee Ji-hyun remembered an important point from her good home education since she was young, that when facing friendly strangers, she must remember to keep smiling, but pretty girls have privileges given by God.

  The sunny smile is a proprietary term for beautiful women. Everything in this world, once associated with sunshine, becomes incredibly beautiful.

  "Everything will be arranged according to your wishes." Li Zhi Xian said with a smile.

  Chu Jing nodded, thinking to himself that he had never been here either. Everyone was being polite, so why bother arguing? Fortunately, he had a copy of the layout in his hand, so he wouldn't get lost.

  "Then let's go." Chu Jingyan took Li Zhi Xian into the TV station.

  The ID cards around the necks of the two men proved to be very useful, and they traveled smoothly without any obstacles. Occasionally, when passing by some young faces, after seeing the ID cards on Chu Jingyan and Li Zhi Xian's chest, they would bow and greet them.

  Li Zhi Xian has always been the one bowing to others, it's clearly his first time being bowed to and asked after, he looks a bit shy hiding behind Chu Jing Yan, but there's some excitement in his eyes that can't be concealed.

  Another child who grew up basking in love behind his parents since childhood.

  Chu Jingyan always thought that this kind of girl was actually very good, had no temper, and was kind to others. Apart from not being able to tolerate her own appearance being profaned, she seemed to have a somewhat detached air about her, as if she really didn't care about worldly matters. Gao Yaluo was like that, and it seemed that the Miss Li behind him was also similar.

  Elegant as a cat, yet with a cleverness that cats don't have.

  It's clear that Lee Ji-hyun enjoys Cho Jeong-yeon's taciturn personality, and maybe she doesn't like to talk much either. This slightly awkward silence might be the most suitable way for the two of them to interact with each other.

  Chu Jing said that he was now in trouble, he couldn't find the specific location of the broadcasting room where Xiaofei Bawa performed on stage, and people were passing by around him, but no one could show him the way.

  Then Chu Jing caught hold of a girl wearing glasses.

  The girl seemed a bit nervous, Chu Jingyan looked down at her ID card and cleared his throat seriously: "Intern?"

  The girl quickly bowed and said in the most respectful tone: "Yes, senior. I just started interning at our TV station last month. Please point out any shortcomings in my work."

  "After you've taught us," said Chu Jingyan, "take us to the concert hall in the music center."

  The girl raised her head and looked at Chu Jingyan with a hint of confusion, then glanced at Li Zhihuan behind him.

  Li Zhi Xian only then realized why Chu Jing Yan would grab onto this poor girl for no reason, it seemed that the person in front of him who looked very reliable was actually not reliable at all. It turned out that he also didn't know where their destination was.

  Looking at Chu Jingyan's serious face, Li Zhihuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Although the intern girl was puzzled why her two seniors didn't know where the recording studio in the music center was, she thought to herself "Heaven is big and earth is big but senior is the biggest", so of course she had to listen to them.

  "Please follow me, seniors." The girl started leading the way.

  Chu Jing spoke with a straight face, pulled Li Zhi Xian who was still smiling quietly, winked at her, then adjusted his tie and followed the girl through the crowd, walking inside.

  Finally arrived at the so-called concert hall, inside was crowded with countless young men and women holding various colored light boards, sitting in the audience seats, waiting for their favorite idols to perform on stage.

  Chu Jingyuan led Li Zhixian to a very front row seat.

  "I heard you want to be an actor?" Chu Jingyan looked at Li Zhihuan and asked.

  Lee Ji-hoon nodded: "Actually, singing and acting, I both want to try."

  "Very ambitious, very good." Chu Jingyan said.

  "Thank you."

  The conversation between the two people seems a bit too simple, but fortunately, neither of them feels that the atmosphere between them is awkward or anything else. Compared to the lively audience behind them, Chu Jingyan and Li Zhihuan seem relatively quiet.

  Lounge

  A group of girls wearing uniform dresses sat upright and listened to the agent's words.

  A thirty-year-old agent scanned the crowd and said, "Kids, you've made it through so many years of practice. Once you step out that door, you'll be Girls' Generation. There will be even bigger stages waiting for you in the future. What's coming up next is just your first step. Promise me, you'll take this step well."

  "Because you don't know if the audience and fans will like you after you go on that stage, and you don't know if there will be anyone who will continue to pay attention to you after this stage." The agent paused for a moment, then continued, "I should have been saying encouraging words to you, not putting pressure on you at a time like this."

  "But you must remember, the pressure isn't from me or from yourselves, but from the fans under the stage who like you, are willing to remember you and cheer for you, that's why you can be called Girls' Generation."

  "Perhaps a company can survive one failed combination promotion, but you cannot."

  After finishing speaking, the agent smiled: "However, kids, I just went out for a walk and found that today's stage, you must be the most beautiful, the most touching."

  The girls burst out laughing.

  "Alright." The agent clapped his hands. "After we're done today, I'll treat you to a meal. Forget about barbecue and whatnot, fruits and vegetables will fill your belly."

  The girls nodded in unison.

  Kim Tae-yeon stood up and said to her teammates after taking a deep breath: "Fighting!"

  After finishing speaking, he stretched out his right hand.

  A pair of hands pressed down on it, and then everyone cheered up.

  "Go for it!"

  Cheering before victory is called morale-boosting; cheering after victory is called a triumphant song.

  "Hurry up and rest, we're going on stage soon." Jina sat down, then cast her gaze at the TV beside her, starting to silently count down.

  Chu Jingyu remembered that someone had once said that everything brilliant will eventually become dull, and all things in this world cannot escape this conclusion.

  So many followers like to use time to prove everything. However, in Chu Jingyan's view, if you use time to prove it, you can only prove that the person who said this sentence has lost from the beginning.

  No one can outplay time, whether you're brilliant or dull.

  But in short, brilliant things are brilliant, dull things are dull.

  The circle of a person's life determines his vision. Although Chu Jingyan is now unknown, similar to many people around him who are busy with work and making a living, even if he is associated with Dongfang International or Chen Shuo Bai Jiming, Chu Jingyan's vision is very high.

  That kind of high in a similar sense.

  Chu Jingyan would never look down on anyone, because if he stripped off his skin, he would be even more destitute than a beggar. But just like the young man who swung his fist at the security guard's eviction back then, many people, like Chu Jingyan, often treat most things as no big deal.

  But there is something worth protecting after all.

  For Chu Jingyan, the bottom line of ensuring his own dignity is now the only thing worth protecting.

  So he was eager to pull Jin Long down from his horse, so he left Dongfang International and came to C&O, swallowing his anger and humiliation, but not losing his dignity.

  The most important thing in being a person is demeanor.

  "And next up, our most anticipated newcomer, please welcome, Girls' Generation!"

  Chu Jing's words were followed by sparse applause and cheers.

  Here.

  The music started, and the stage dimmed down. Chu Jingyan narrowed his eyes, he could see the blurry figures on the stage, as well as nine people of different heights.

  Then the lights suddenly lit up, Chu Jingyan saw Kim Tae-hee, and saw Little Fat Girl.

  He remained silent.

  Li Zhi Xian beside him was also quiet, even though his eyes were filled with envy and admiration.

  Suddenly, Chu Jingyan's gaze locked onto one of the nine people. As she walked back and forth, she moved to the front of the crowd. Chu Jingyan looked at her, and she hid behind the crowd. Chu Jingyan looked at her, and she began to sing. Chu Jingyan looked at her, and she danced quietly. Chu Jingyan still looked at her.

  Watching with great seriousness, watching with uncontainable delight.

  She smiled on stage and then suddenly hid behind a strange girl.

  Chu Jingyan stood up.

  Li Zhi Xian looked at Chu Jing Yan with confusion, this man who was about the same age as him shouldn't be someone who would lose his composure in such a situation, and he also couldn't see why he would like girl groups.

  Li Zhi Xian shrugged and stopped thinking about it.

  Many times, Chu Jingyan had thought about how he would meet the girl on stage again in what kind of situation. That night, watching from afar as that family walked away, and now, he saw Zheng Xiuyan performing somewhat awkwardly on stage.

  She has grown up so big now.

  She has become so beautiful.

  She still looked somewhat proud and aloof.

  Even though she is still a bit short like many years ago.

  Chu Jing said with a smile as he looked at Yuè, then sat back down. How could such a dramatic thing happen in this world? Or maybe Seoul was just too small?

  But the people and things in front of you are not dreams.

  Chu Jing didn't even want to slap her own face.

  Jung Soo-young

  It turns out you've been doing really well all these years.

  Your face is still young, but I have turned white-haired before autumn.

  Chu Jingyan smiled again and looked at the stage with a smile on his face.

  P.S: Looking for recommendations, looking for collections.
