Chapter 55 Girls' Generation
Chapter 55 Girls' Generation
"Don't think too much about it, let's focus on making this event a success." He patted Lee Ji-eun on the shoulder. "I had to beg my mom to give me this hotel, so don't mess it up."
Lee Ji-eun quickly composed herself, thumping her chest loudly, "Don't worry, I'm IU!" She paused, her eyes darting around mischievously, "But... Auntie really didn't call you a spendthrift, did she? Hahaha!"
Watching her hopping and skipping away like a mischievous kitten, Lin Yuan felt his temples throbbing and his heart pounding with exhaustion.
With Hwang Ye-ji and Lee Ji-eun, two witches, one big and one small, they're going to have a lot of trouble in the future.
For this birthday party event, Lin Yuan specially asked Xia Yuan to contact SM and JYP.
They invited artists from both companies to perform and relax. As for appearance fees... Lee Soo-man wisely declined, while Park Jin-young dared not ask for any. It was a textbook example of getting something for nothing.
Lin Yuan simply poured all the saved budget into hardware equipment.
To this end, he specially built a top-notch stage, with the sound system and screen all being the latest unreleased concept models provided by Sony and Samsung, and the configuration was fully upgraded.
At this moment, the backstage dressing room of SM Entertainment was a dazzling display of star power and impressive grandeur.
This time, not only Girls' Generation, but also Red Velvet and EXO, all of which are currently top K-Pop groups.
"I really don't know what the company is thinking. They made us all come to a birthday party. People who don't know better would think that SM Entertainment is inferior to Loen."
EXO's Baekhyun was whispering to his teammates, but his wandering eyes never left Kim Tae-yeon, who was not far away.
"Unnie, unnie, that junior is peeking at you again. I heard he worked so hard to get into SM as a trainee because of you~"
Yoona nudged Taeyeon lightly with her elbow, her delicate face full of teasing and her tone brimming with undisguised gossip.
Kim Tae-yeon pursed her lips helplessly and shrank back to the side.
She was already petite, and when Yoona bumped into her like that, she felt like a roly-poly toy.
As for that so-called junior? The squad leader said: We're really not familiar with each other, don't get involved.
Like Yoona, she is now focused entirely on her career and has no interest in any in-company romance.
Just then, Lee Soon-kyu, who was standing nearby, also came over to watch the fun: "Not tempted? He's younger, has amazing looks, and is a member of a popular boy group. He's a perfect match for you~"
"..."
Kim Tae-yeon slapped herself on the forehead with a loud "smack".
Seeing her teammates getting restless, she gave them a death stare, which finally quelled their curiosity.
Tired, destroy it.
It seems I've been too lenient with these bastards. One or two of them dare to ride roughshod over the captain and make jokes about men and women. Do they really think she, this "softie," is a pushover?
"West……"
Before the national essence could even be uttered, a knock on the door suddenly rang out.
Lee Ji-eun led Lin Yuan through the door and came in.
Kim Tae-yeon felt a lump in her throat and could only swallow back the swear words in frustration.
"Annyeonghaseyo, LuMin-imita."
The once noisy lounge instantly fell silent.
Lin Yuan stood beside Li Zhi'en and bowed slightly in politeness.
Although he is indeed a newcomer in the industry, Lee Ji-eun is too important. Apart from Girls' Generation, who are senior enough, all the other juniors present consciously bowed to him.
Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly; this was a classic case of the fox borrowing the tiger's power.
Kim Tae-yeon took a deep breath, composed herself, and led the members to stand up and return the greeting: "Annyeonghaseyo, Girls' Generation, you're welcome."
Seeing that their seniors had moved, Red Velvet and EXO quickly followed suit, bowing respectfully in greeting.
Lee Ji-eun returned the greeting with a smile, her gaze sweeping over the group of top girl group seniors before finally settling precisely on Kim Tae-yeon: "Tae-yeon unnie, long time no see. Thank you all for making the trip today. After the event, Lin Yuan and I will definitely treat you all to a good meal."
Upon hearing this, Yoona and Soonkyu, who are always quick to sense things, exchanged a glance, a glint of shrewdness flashing in their eyes at the same time.
"Me and Lin Yuan"?
Tsk, that tone.
These two are definitely up to something, and something big! As members of the famous K-pop group, they're definitely going to get their hands on this huge, bombshell gossip!
Lin Yuan stood there, looking around the room, which was truly filled with starlight.
His gaze eventually fell on Kim Tae-yeon, the "little leader" who was at the peak of her beauty.
At this time, Taeyeon still had a bit of baby fat on her face, and her smile was incredibly sweet. No wonder she is the female protagonist that every Korean entertainment novel cannot avoid; she is indeed extremely cute.
It's just that... she is indeed a bit petite, and her figure is indeed a bit too thin.
Since the topic of body shape came up, Lin Yuan's gaze naturally shifted to another "constant leading lady in Korean entertainment"—Lim Yoona.
With bright, clear eyes like a deer, a tall and slender figure, and a face so exquisite it's flawless.
It has to be admitted that the group's stunning visuals are well-deserved. It's just a pity that Jessica, who was once known as the "Ice Princess," is no longer leaving the group, which is somewhat regrettable.
Coincidentally, Yoona was also looking over at that moment, and their eyes met in mid-air.
"Wow... he's actually this handsome in person? He's even more striking than on the big screen and in videos." Lim Yoona muttered to herself, feeling a little envious of Lee Ji-eun's good fortune.
Unlike herself, who can't even get a good script now, let alone win a Blue Dragon Award.
Lin Yuan cleared his throat and said in a gentle tone, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend Zhi En's birthday party."
The equipment on the stage has been fully tested and adjusted. We hope to provide you with a pleasant performance experience.
"Lin Yuan-xi, you're too kind. We've been quite busy and tired lately, so we're treating this as a short break. Speaking of which, we should thank you for providing this stage," Kim Tae-yeon replied with a smile, her polite remarks flowing effortlessly.
Listen to that, no wonder she's a top girl group leader, she's got such a sweet tongue.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "Senior is too kind. Seeing all the members of Girls' Generation together has fulfilled a wish of mine as a fan."
"Oh? Really?" Kim Taeyeon raised an eyebrow, revealing a mischievous grin. "So, Lim Won-ssi is a fan of our Girls' Generation group... or is he actually a solo fan of one of the members?"
Lin Yuan was immediately stumped.
He can't exactly tell all the members of Girls' Generation that he's actually a fan of Jessica, can he? He'd probably be the headline tomorrow for being carried out of the store.
He silently retracted his earlier assessment. Kim Tae-yeon was no softie at all; she was clearly a cunning schemer!
"Hey, you two, stop standing at the door making small talk, it's such a downer," Lee Ji-eun chimed in at the opportune moment.
Amidst the gossipy gazes of the room, she reached out and tugged at Lin Yuan's suit sleeve: "I heard that Taeyeon unnie has been working non-stop lately and isn't feeling well. Didn't you say you specially brought some famous high-end ginseng tea? Hurry up and take it out to share with everyone!"
???
Lin Yuan slowly typed out a question mark. When did he bring ginseng tea?
Looking down again, he met Lee Ji-eun's cunning eyes. This brat was just trying to amuse him in public!
Kim Tae-yeon took in both of their expressions.
Looking at Lin Yuan's handsome face, which looked utterly lifeless, her awkwardness vanished completely, and she chuckled, "Lin Yuan-xi, it seems that accompanying Zhi En to work is quite tiring, isn't it?"
Who can argue with that! This ancestor is purely here to torment him!
Just as Lin Yuan was about to take advantage of the situation and launch into a tirade against Lee Ji-eun, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head as a murderous gaze locked onto him.
He quickly pulled out his phone, coughed lightly, and said, "Um... there seems to be an urgent matter at the company. You guys talk first, I'll go outside to take this call."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Only when the door to the lounge completely blocked the view from inside did his sense of danger, which felt like a thorn in his side, finally disappear.
However, what he didn't know was that the cold gaze he had just received did not come from Lee Ji-eun.
