The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 122 Help Me Chase Ming Jingnan
"did you sleep well last night?"

The next day, in Twice's practice room, Lim Nayeon skipped around holding a glass of orange juice and handed it to Gong Cheng: "Yesterday's fan meeting seemed to be a success."

She has been in a good mood recently. Although her last attempt ended in failure, fortunately her good friend Kim Ji-soo gave her a second trick, which sounds very feasible.

"He looks so pale. He must have been working overtime on the set until midnight again and didn't get enough rest."

As soon as Gong Cheng took the orange juice, Minatozaki Sana answered for him.

This guy had dinner with me last night and then went to the crew to catch up on the filming schedule. He is quite ambitious! After more than half a year of contact, Gong Cheng's impression of her has slowly changed.

"Excited, right? When we had our first fan meeting with Twice, I was so excited to see so many fans of Once that I couldn't sleep."

Lin Nayeon took a sip of coffee and grinned.

Debuting last year, they've fared far better than expected this year. As a successful and fruitful year draws to a close, it seems the members' shared goal of reaching the top is one step closer.

"You're not just unable to sleep, it's terrible! You're making so much noise that Sana-chan and I can't sleep well either!"

Park Ji-hyo recalled the first fan meeting held by Twice members when they debuted last year. This unnie was like a maggot in the dormitory at night, tossing and turning, making it impossible for anyone to sleep.

"Is it that serious? However, what I want most is to meet the fans as the tenth member of Twice. Of course, I want to meet Once..." Gong Cheng took a sip of orange juice with ill intentions. It was quite funny to think about it. I guess he will be sent razor blades in the mail?

"Oppa, are you so depressed? Don't you want to live anymore?" Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and patted his back with a smirk. This oppa always said some nonsense... If the onces heard it, would oppa die?

"Tzuyu, will you protect Oppa?"

"..."

Nan Mingjing, who was hugging Momo Hirai on the sofa, kept her cold eyes fixed on Gong Cheng.

She seemed to have discovered some incredible secret... The game she 'accidentally' opened in Gong Cheng's dormitory that day had a pretty good plot.

In the past two days of the game, her story progress has been stuck on a JK girl named Sha Jingnan. One of the scenes...

Originally, this kind of plot was just a small thing for Ming Jingnan. But when he thought about Gong Cheng's repeated sneak attacks on him...

He... doesn't have any special fetishes, right?

Just like the plot in the game?

"Mina-chan, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" Momo Hirai felt the sudden rise in body temperature of her friend next to her, and her delicate little face flushed red.

What's going on here?
"I'm fine, Momo-chan." Mingjing Nan said in a low voice and quickly let go of the arm that was holding Hirai Momo.

Why do I feel stuffy and burning?
"You are indeed the tenth member of Twice. I couldn't find you in the composing room or practice room in the company, but I found you in Twice's practice room." Outside Twice's practice room, Bae Suzy looked at Gong Cheng who was playing with Lim Nayeon with a smile.

Thinking about the rumors about the company and looking at the current situation, it is indeed true.

"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, Suzy-senpai."

"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, Suzy-senpai."

"..."

Inside the practice room, the members who were running around in a group and the few who were sitting quietly in the corner browsing their phones all stood up and greeted each other.

"Suzy, why are you here?"

Gong Cheng straightened his collar, which had been wrinkled by Lin Nayeon and Minatozaki Sana, and asked casually.

Suzy, huh?

Lin Nayeon and Zhou Tzuyu, who were beside him, were shocked.

Lin Nayeon quickly tugged at his sleeve, which he had just smoothed down, and anxiously warned him, "What are you yelling about?"

Zhou Ziyu was behind Gong Cheng and poked his waist with her finger. How could this oppa be so outspoken?
Don't you know that on Peninsula, seniors and juniors are very respectful? It's okay for her to just play around with the Twice members... but also Suzy! If anyone knew about this, she'd be accused of disrespecting her seniors...

Under the surprised gazes of the nine members of Twice, Bae Suzy did not frown or show any angry behavior as expected.

She smoothed the hair by her ear and said, "Can't I come? I'm here to supervise!"

"pdnim, I'm also curious about what kind of song you will write for me."

"When did I agree to write a song for you? Suzy, don't use Jinyoung to pressure me." Gong Cheng curled his lips. Isn't this sister really good at climbing up the ladder?

I just said I would think about it and give it a try when I have time...

"Come out and talk?" Bae Suzy smiled as she looked at the slightly uncomfortable Twice members in the practice room. She then turned her gaze to Lim Nayeon, gave her a strange look, and then looked at Gong Cheng.

These two don’t match!

"Ah? So, Suzy senior wants to ask Oppa to write a song?"

"That should be the case. Didn't they say Suzy is preparing a solo album?"

After Gong Sung and Bae Suzy left, the members of Twice started discussing non-stop.

Zhou Ziyu frowned, feeling a little helpless.

Even if oppa and Suzy sunbae have a good relationship, you can't just call her Suzy all the time~
Very rude! Her mother said that this kind of bad character will easily offend people...

"Great! If we go solo in the future, can we let Oppa be my producer?"

"Him? Come on! He's that lazy? Have you forgotten about the time of TT? He didn't want to die!"

"But Oppa is here after all! TT is also very popular!"

"Why think so much? We've only been debuting for a year, who knows when our solo release will be..."

……

The practice room next door seems to have become much quieter since Bombardment Meteor's official debut.

This was Bae Suzy's second time in Gong Cheng's practice room. The last time was when Professor Sung Hee-jin from Yonsei University was there. After taking in the surroundings, she sat down on the sofa and suddenly spoke.

"Are you dating Lim Nayeon?"

Gong Cheng, who wanted to get her a glass of water as a treat, was suddenly stunned.

"???"

What a treat!
"Who told you that?" He turned around unhappily.

"Of course I saw it." Bae Suzy pointed to her own eyes complacently, looking very capable.

She had originally thought the rumors about the company were a bit outrageous. Somehow Gong Cheng and GOT7's BamBam were jealously fighting over Lim Nayeon and nearly came to blows... but just now, she saw the two of them being intimate in Twice's practice room.

It's definitely not an ordinary friendship.

"No." Gong Cheng saw her smug expression and felt like he wanted a beating.

"Didn't catch up?" Bae Suzy asked with a smile. It seems that this young man's methods are not very clever?
"Do you want the Angry Gang to help you?"

"You help me write a song, and I'll help you get Nayeon. I can't say I'll definitely get her, but I'm making progress..."

"Stop! Are you here to ask me to write a song or gossip?" Gong Cheng curled his lips impatiently. Ah Xi! This sister is really self-righteous. Are the rumors about the company so outrageous?

It's been so long? Why are there still rumors that he's pursuing Nayeon? What idiots!
The most speechless thing is, you are still giving advice to someone like Bae Suzy?

"Is there a conflict between writing songs and helping you? It won't delay anything, right?" Bae Suzy looked at his frustrated look but was not annoyed.

She rarely saw this bad-tempered guy being so angry.

However, Bae Suzy also vaguely realized that she might have made a wrong judgment. Given Gong Cheng's personality, if he really was dating Lim Nayeon, he would not hide it if he was caught. Could it be that he really had no interest in Lim Nayeon?
"I..." Gong Cheng was about to patiently explain to Pei Tuzi, but seeing her increasingly arrogant smile, he realized that this girl didn't care who he was dating and was clearly making fun of him. Then, he stopped explaining and chuckled, "Okay, Suzy, I was thinking of writing a song for you. Since you said so, I'll wait a little longer until you help me pursue her..."

At the end of his speech, Gong Cheng stopped, kept silent, and looked at the sister with a smile.

"?" Bae Suzy's expression changed, but she still put on a sincere smile and narrowed her eyes.

"Is it a deal then? I'll help you match you up with Lim Nayeon?"

"I haven't said who it is yet... Who said it was Lim Nayeon?" Gong Cheng smiled and spread his hands. I told you Lim Nayeon! Lim Nayeon!
Do you think she and I are a good match?
"Who is that?"

"Her name is Jingnan." Gong Cheng casually said a name to fool people. This sister actually likes to worry about things so much, so let her worry about it.

As for why Ming Jingnan's name was mentioned, he didn't know either.

"Ming Jingnan? You hid it really well..." Bae Suzy opened her mouth in surprise, with her buck teeth showing, which was actually a bit cute.

Gong Cheng Xiaoxiong spread his hands, too lazy to explain.

But thinking of Ming Jingnan's clear and cold face, he always felt that she was a little smoldering...

……

Maybe you like Messi too?

Jung Joon-hyung

When did Jung Joon Hyung and Kim Bok Joo get together?

swag~

With the release of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo" and the spread of buzzwords on the Internet, more and more people are choosing to watch this youth romance drama broadcast on MBC. And topics related to this drama are also spreading like wildfire on major entertainment forums in Peninsular China.

"Check in for Jung Joon Hyung!"

"Gong Cheng's acting is so good, isn't it? He's completely like Jung Joon Hyung himself! I really like this character!"

"Ah! Where on earth can you find a boyfriend like Jung Joon-hyung? When will Kim Bok-joo be with Jung Joon-hyung? Why is she still chasing after that idiot doctor? I'm speechless!"

"Jung Joon-hyung is simply the ideal boyfriend!"

"The person above suggests you check out Gong Cheng, the actor who plays Jung Joon Hyung. Tarot, you'll find that there are more perfect boys in the world than Jung Joon Hyung."

"I'm a fan of TV dramas. After watching this drama, I got to know actor Gong Cheng and singer Tarot. They're both excellent artists!"

"Maybe, you like Messi too? Wow! Don't you think that's romantic?"

"Sisters, use this sentence to confess your love, it will definitely win you a kiss! I've personally tested it..."

"But we want Jung Joon Hyung, woooo!"

"..."

Park Jin-young looked at the various topics about "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo" on the Internet with satisfaction. The role played by Gong Sung has become a small hit in the local area. Although it cannot be said to be a big hit, it is already very good that the first debut work can cause such a strong reaction.

But what he and the crew didn't expect was that "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo" would be even more popular in China than it was back home. Thanks to Gong Cheng's many Chinese fans, many K-pop star-chasing girls watched the show and became fans of Tarot.

At present, the show has not yet aired half of its episodes, but it has already attracted a large number of CP fans in the local and Chinese regions, who are crazy about it.

"Good acting, Xiao Cheng." Park Jin Young closed the webpage and looked at Gong Cheng who was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Zhenying, wait until you've watched this drama before you say that." Gong Cheng curled his lips speechlessly. This brother's praise was not just perfunctory. He was just asking who the doctor mentioned in the forum was...

Park Jin-young smiled awkwardly and said, "Regarding the Bombardment Meteor contract, the company has asked for opinions from the other three companies."

"I guess Park Jae-Bum and Lim Young-Woong should be easy to deal with, right?" Gong Cheng put away his phone and became serious. "The hard part is SM, right?"

Not long ago, when Park Jin-young asked him about his thoughts on Bombardment Meteor, he discussed this topic with other members on the day of the fan meeting, and everyone talked about it openly.

Personally speaking, no one wants Bombardment Meteor to be like a meteor, disappearing briefly.

So in the end, at Gong Cheng's suggestion, they decided to "go solo but not disband", retaining the band name, and every year the four of them coordinated their schedules and took time out to return and release an album as the limited group Bombardment Meteor.

However, Bombardment Meteor will no longer participate in any future music promotion stages. After all, the four members have very busy schedules, and it is not easy to squeeze out time to produce an album and shoot a music video.

As for the tour, we'll talk about it later...

Park Jin-young's face darkened. "Lee Soo-man? He's not that difficult to deal with. He just put forward some conditions."

"What conditions?" Gong Cheng knew something about the love-hate relationship between this guy and Lee Soo Man, but why did he want to laugh so much?

"It's the same collaboration invitation I sent you earlier. They want you to produce a song that's on the level of a title song for Red Velvet. SM is pushing them really hard. If nothing goes wrong, Red Velvet will be making a comeback in February next year."

"..." Gong Cheng didn't expect that Lee Soo Man was still obsessed with him... Among the members of Bombardment Meteor, except for himself, Park Jae-bum is backed by AOMG, and he is also the president of the company, so he can naturally decide on contract issues. Lin Yingxiong is backed by mulgogimusic, which is also his own company. Only Zhang Yixing not only has a group contract with EXO, but also has his own personal studio in China under SM. If SM has a hand in the twists and turns, there is nothing they can do.

"Then take it, brother, but only after you sign the contract with Lay's Bombardment Meteor."

After weighing the options, Gong Cheng made a decision. Writing a song for SM's girl group would earn him some extra cash on top of his contract with Lay. Not bad, eh?

"In this case, the issue of Bombardment Meteor's contract renewal shouldn't be a big deal." Park Jin-young pondered, "So, should the news of Bombardment Meteor's contract renewal be announced only after all contracts are signed?"

"I think I can give my fans some time to dry out their minds..."

"You and I want to go together, brother." Gong Cheng grinned, "Let's not announce the contract renewal. We can wait until the end of the year and do a live broadcast so that fans can witness whether all the Bombardment Meteor members stay or go..."

"I think we could make it like a group variety show, with each member having a separate talk and deciding whether to stay or leave. But the final signing result won't be announced."

"Next year, when the members have time to prepare for their second album, we can release teaser photos under the name Bombardment Meteor and let fans guess what's going on. We can also make the year-end livestream results and videos into materials and release them before the album's release."

Gong Cheng became more and more excited as he spoke, saying, "No one understands marketing better than me!"

“???” Park Jin Young looked at him with a strange expression. Wasn’t it a waste of his talent to be just a singer?

If they really marketed Bombardment Meteor's future in the same way as Gong Cheng did, it would be ridiculous... In short, if they really did it this way, the fans' emotions would definitely be manipulated...

Afterwards, Park Jin-young nodded. He still approved of Gong Cheng's ideas, and this approval built more trust with the success of his ideas, especially after "Fireworks are eternal" reversed its trend on the Billboard charts.

"Do as you wish, but Xiao Cheng, don't forget the most important thing. You debuted as a solo singer..."

"The company has always positioned you as a solo artist. As for Bombardment Meteor, just get together and have fun. As for reaching the top of the internet... don't underestimate yourself."

He warned him seriously. In his view, Gong Cheng's talent extended beyond reaching the top of K-pop. He had always believed this boy was destined to become a global superstar... "Fireworks are eternal," which had surged on the Billboard charts, was proof of his foresight. And Gong Cheng's popularity in Europe and the United States had given him and his company immense motivation. They were ready to make ambitious moves in the coming year, bringing the Tarot name to the forefront of the world.

You know, the phrase "going to the US" isn't just his obsession. From one generation to the next, many groups from various companies, even Girls' Generation, who were at their peak two years ago and were known as the "Queen of Girls," have failed in their quest for the US market.

As for Bombardment Meteor, for Gong Cheng, it was just another traffic boost. It was also because of the rise of "Fireworks are eternal" on the B charts that more and more people in the Peninsula began to understand Bombardment Meteor and Tarot.

Therefore, the company did not refuse Gong Cheng's contract renewal with Bombardment Meteor.

"Don't worry, brother. I know what I'm doing. I'm also looking forward to the first album next year." Gong Cheng smiled casually, naturally knowing what Park Jin Young meant.

He has never thought about Bombardment Meteor reaching the top. Everything about Bombardment Meteor, from its initial establishment, was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​his. And the current contract renewal is just because they get along well, and in order to leave Bombardment Meteor fans with something to look forward to, his focus is still on solo.

……

At night, the four members of Bombardment Meteor gathered at the barbecue restaurant they often went to.

In addition, there was also Wang Jiaer, the fifth member of Bombardment Meteor, who had just returned from a tour in China. As well as Wu Sehun and Park Chanyeol, the two of them took time out to have a meal with Lay, after all, Zhang Yixing was leaving for China the next day and they hadn't seen each other for a while.

"So, you're saying you're going to SM tomorrow?" Zhang Yixing opened his mouth with the barbecue stuffed in it.

"Yes, apart from the issue of your contract renewal, Brother Lay, your company has indeed sent us several invitations." Gong Cheng clinked glasses with him and shrugged.
