Chapter 1021 SAKURA, nice to meet you!
Another day.

Hybe Entertainment.

Seeing Kim Chae-won scrolling through her phone alone in the lounge with a blank expression, Heo Yoon-jin couldn't help but go up to her and ask, "Chae-won unnie, aren't you supposed to be going abroad today? Your manager oppa even asked you for your passport. Why are you just standing here spacing out?"

"today?"

Jin Caiyuan's pupils focused gradually, and soon he said, "Isn't it tomorrow?"

"We're all boarding the plane tomorrow."

Xu Yunzhen smiled, and soon her gaze focused on Jin Caiyuan's phone. She asked curiously, "What are you looking at, unnie?"

"nothing."

Kim Chae-won quickly put his phone behind his back and said, "Go talk to your manager first, I'll go find him with my passport later."

"Alright then." Xu Yunzhen nodded, got up and left.

However, as she turned around, a strange look couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, the screen on Caiyuan's phone is displaying Li Yang's Instagram account, right?
Wasn't Unnie always quite cold towards him?
Why did I suddenly start paying attention to this?
Her attention was irresistibly drawn to it.

The next moment, however, he was called back.

"Wait."

"Hey?" Xu Yunzhen stopped and turned around, just in time to hide her previous strange expression.

“Who in our group hasn’t received their passport yet? I’ll go and contact them,” Kim Chae-won said.

"Besides you, there's only Sakura Onii."

Xu Yunzhen said, "However, Sakura Unnie has other things to do, so she won't be going out with us this time."

"Something else?" Kim Chae-won asked, momentarily puzzled.

"Has Unnie forgotten?"

Xu Yunzhen was also taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "It's about that Philips ad. Today, Sakura Onii is going over the script with the filming crew, and then we'll be filming tonight."

"What about tomorrow?" Kim Chae-won paused slightly.

"tomorrow?"

Xu Yunzhen thought for a moment and quickly said, "Tomorrow, it seems we're shooting an advertisement for some jewelry brand."

"When did you get a new jewelry brand endorsement?" Kim Chae-won was also taken aback this time.

As the team leader, it's essential to understand the members' situations.

"I heard from my manager that it was settled last month, right?" Heo Yoon-jin thought for a moment, then hesitated slightly before asking, "The other party's name is something like... Ning Shi Feng Hua?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Caiyuan's pupils dilated sharply.

He was, after all, the first man in her life. Even if she didn't want to get involved, she would still unconsciously try to find out some information about him.

Therefore, she was still somewhat aware of the fact that Li Yang was the owner of Ningshi Fenghua.

However, it is precisely because of this attention that it feels even stranger.

Li Yang
Miyawaki Sakura Oni
When did these two people get in touch?
and also
If it's a brand under Li Yang, why didn't he contact me first?
At this moment, although Kim Chae-won didn't want to admit it, he still felt a little lost.

"Ernie."

"Ernie?"

"Caiyuan Unnie!"

"."

"."

"Mo?"

Jin Caiyuan snapped out of his daze and asked instinctively, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if they wanted to go shopping together this afternoon," Xu Yunzhen couldn't help but pout. "I finally got a day off, but one of them wants to go home, and the other says she wants to practice for the year-end stage."

As she spoke, her gaze flickered towards Kim Chae-won, a look of anticipation seemingly appearing in her eyes, and she said, "If Unnie isn't busy..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kim Chae-won looked slightly troubled and said, "I was wondering if I should go check on Sakura-onna."

He then explained, "After all, you know about Unnie's Korean language difficulties. If I were here, communication might be smoother."

As she spoke, she unconsciously pursed her lips.

This is a sign of a lack of self-confidence.

Ok.

Because she herself was no longer sure of her true motives.

"This is easy!"

Xu Yunzhen smiled and said, "I can go with you to visit Sakura Unnie on set."

As he spoke, he quickly rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat expectant, and said, "If we finish early, the three of us can even go shopping together."

After he finished speaking, Kim Chae-won remained silent for a few seconds for no apparent reason.

Then, he forced a smile, nodded, and agreed.

Ok.

She was actually somewhat resistant just now.

only.
I simply couldn't refuse.

Meanwhile, on the other side...
Seoul.

Inside a filming location.

Wearing a simple striped shirt and dark jeans, Miyawaki Sakura walked into the venue. She looked around as if searching for something, her high ponytail swaying as she turned her head, exuding a youthful vibe.

Soon, his gaze settled on a certain corner.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over.

"The traffic wasn't very high this time. Is it because it was just a live stream, or was it a bit too proactive, making netizens lose interest in exploring it?"

"Perhaps it's because the methods are so similar that netizens are getting tired of it?"

After listening to Wang Wenjun's words, Li Yang frowned and pondered before giving his reply: "It's like crying wolf. It's okay to cry wolf once or twice, but if you do it too often, netizens won't believe you anymore."

Ok.

His live stream with Kim Chae-won yesterday was a complete failure.

Part of the reason is that fans have seen too many romance dramas, leading to aesthetic fatigue with the concept of couples.

Another reason is that Li Yang has been involved in too many scandals, and each time the rumors have ended hastily or with a direct clarification, causing a large number of netizens to lose interest in following him.

after all
Humans are naturally inclined to prefer novelty and tire of the old.

Therefore, Li Yang had anticipated this and originally planned to take this opportunity to create some bold effects with Jin Caiyuan, with whom he had a previous ambiguous relationship, in order to attract attention.

Now it seems like it's not enough.
"What should I do?"

Wang Wenjun couldn't help but say, "Such a huge amount of traffic! It's an unprecedented windfall! The company is overflowing with orders right now. If you dare to tell me that this is our peak, I might be so disappointed that I want to jump off a building."

"Let's proceed according to the original plan for now, and I'll think of a solution from the sidelines," Li Yang replied somewhat helplessly, completely ignoring Wang Wenjun's subsequent complaints.

no way.

His personal influence is really limited.

Simultaneously
The Peninsula market is really too small.

Although Li Yang is trying to generate traffic, this traffic is still relatively private, concentrated only within the personal traffic pools of Zhao Meiyan, Li Yang himself, Huang Lizhi, and Jin Caiyuan.

If a brand truly wants to stand out, it needs to gain wider reach and influence.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Li Yang shook his head, then quickly asked with a smile, "How's it going on your end? Fang Shihe has already entered the arena. Have those old fogies made any moves lately?"

"There have been a few people who have contacted me, wanting to buy my shares; they're quite ambitious."

Wang Wenjun said, "I didn't refuse, but I didn't agree either. I just listened to you and kept putting it off."

"Can you find out where it came from?"

“They must have come prepared to come; how could we possibly find out?”

"That's okay"

Li Yang nodded to himself and quickly added, "But you must keep these people in check. If something unexpected happens one day, this will be our way out."

Wang Wenjun responded, but then said strangely, "I've actually been wondering if you're being a bit too paranoid. A few entertainment companies are nothing; they couldn't possibly have any impact on you."

"I'm certainly not afraid of overt business competition, but it's hard to guard against treacherous people, especially these unscrupulous old guys. You never know where they might start, so it's always good to have some backup plans."

Li Yang said, "Also, although the company is currently very busy, we must personally oversee the issues related to upstream and downstream channels. Only the two of us know all the information about all the channels, so remember not to tell anyone else."

"Don't worry, I understand these things." Wang Wenjun said, then quickly changed the subject, her tone quite playful, and said, "But speaking of which, your white moonlight has been trying to find out about you from me, both openly and secretly. Should we tell her what you're up to?"

"Sure, say whatever you want."

Li Yang's attitude was somewhat casual as he said, "As long as she doesn't involve the company's trade secrets, there's no need to stop her from doing anything."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenjun spoke again, her tone clearly tinged with surprise, saying, "No, you really intend to rekindle your old flame?"

"roll!"

Li Yang couldn't help but swear, then quickly said speechlessly, "What do you know? I'm just feigning weakness. Park Jin-young trusts Bae Soo-ji a lot; she might come in very handy in the future."

Just as he was talking, Li Yang caught a glimpse of a graceful figure slowly approaching out of the corner of his eye. He hung up the phone, looked up, and saw a slender and tall figure standing gracefully in front of him.

Li Yang looked up, casting an inquiring glance.

"Oh, it didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to thank Li Yang oppa for his trust!"

As Miyawaki Sakura spoke, she added with a smile, "It's not just the endorsement at the conference room yesterday, but also the jewelry matter."

Li Yang seemed thoughtful upon hearing this, but then smiled and shook his head, saying, "I also need traffic. It's a mutually beneficial thing, so there's nothing to thank me for."

But as he spoke, noticing Miyawaki Sakura's reaction, he suddenly smiled and asked, "Why that expression?"

On the other side, Miyawaki Sakura's eyes held a strange look, as if she were looking at an alien.

"No, it's nothing."

Miyawaki Sakura shook her head upon hearing this and said, "I was just thinking that Oppa doesn't seem to be as bad as people say."

Li Yang interrupted, saying, "Cunning, ruthless, greedy for money, and a lecherous fiend."

Miyawaki Sakura couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Who would slander themselves like that?"

Li Yang rolled his eyes and muttered, "Because I'm very petty. Even if it's something like slander, I have to do it myself. I won't allow anyone to have the chance to hurt me."

"Haha, how come I didn't notice how cute Oppa is last time?" Miyawaki Sakura said, then suddenly covered her mouth with both hands as if realizing something, abruptly stopping herself from speaking, with only her big eyes darting around as if she were feeling a little guilty.

"What's wrong? Just say it!"

Li Yang couldn't help but urge, "Hey, only saying half of what you mean will bring you bad luck."

"So sincere!"

Miyawaki Sakura lowered her hand and chuckled, "Besides, it felt different from the last time we met at the hotel."

"You had the nerve to bring up last time?"

At this point, Li Yang said somewhat irritably, "Do you know how much trouble you caused me last time?"

Despite this, Li Yang still gives people the feeling of a friendly neighbor's older brother making sarcastic remarks.

This can be considered one of his abilities.

In any situation, it possesses the ability to quickly lower people's guard and unconsciously build closer relationships.

As expected, these words were spoken.
Miyawaki Sakura seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her initial restraint lessening considerably. She even playfully retorted, "Then Oppa, you'd better try to please me, or else the hotel's secrets will be..."

"I'm not worried."

Li Yang interrupted him directly, acting like a deadbeat, and then threatened him viciously: "Anyway, you were in the hotel at that time. At worst, we can just die together. I'll tell the media that you were one of them."

The moment she finished speaking, Miyawaki Sakura's eyes widened even more.

But then, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

A brief chat beforehand can help reduce nervousness during the shoot.

That's exactly what Miyawaki Sakura was thinking.

At this moment, things seem to be better than I had imagined.

Just then, Li Yang reached out his hand and said with a smile, "Well then, I'm Li Yang, a new advertising model. Please give me your guidance."

Miyawaki Sakura paused for a moment, then quickly grasped Li Yang's hand, a smile blooming on her pretty face. She nodded gently and said, "SAKURA, nice to meet you!"

But before he could finish speaking, he heard what sounded like hurried footsteps from the side.

Then, a shocked female voice echoed in the small corner.

"you."

"What are you doing?"

"."

"."

As soon as these words came out.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The two turned their heads and saw two women standing nearby.

Xu Yunzhen's bewildered gaze swept back and forth between Li Yang and Miyawaki Sakura, her eyes seemingly filled with deep incomprehension.

Miyawaki Sakura may go crazy with her sisters in the group, but isn't she extremely introverted outside? How come she suddenly started chatting and laughing with other people, even men?

Beside her, Kim Chae-won stared wide-eyed at the two people's tightly clasped hands, her brain seemingly buzzing.

Of course, it's not just about witnessing the shock firsthand.

What shocked her even more was the clear emotion she had just captured in her heart.

Because just now, she discovered that...

I was a little jealous!
