The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 156: The excitement of lunch (asking for monthly tickets)
The nanny car drove in the night, Gong Cheng and Jin Dayu chatted all the way and arrived at the barbecue restaurant they had booked.

"An Ning Ha Saiyo, I'm Gong Cheng."

When he arrived at the box, Gong Cheng saw two formally dressed men and women as soon as he entered. He greeted them politely.

The man was about the same height as Kim Dae-woo, not too thin, but rather muscular. The woman was in her thirties, with short, neat hair and black-framed glasses, and looked a bit like Twice's manager.

The two new employees of the agent team couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw Gong Cheng's warm smile.

This singer and actress, currently the most popular singer in the Peninsula, seems very approachable, unlike some artists who act one way in front of the camera and another behind the scenes. There are countless artists in the industry who act like big shots and have bad tempers, and they naturally don't want to work around such artists.

"An Ning Haseyo, I'm Che Qianhao."

"An Ning Haseyo, I'm Jin Meiling."

After the two introduced themselves, Jin Dae-woo smiled and introduced his two assistants: "Xiao Cheng, from now on, my work focus will shift more to your business cooperation. Qian Hao and Mei Ling will be responsible for your daily life..."

Gong Cheng chuckled and nodded. After all, Kim Dae-woo was still his agent, and these two assistants would take over some of his previous work, such as driving and accompanying him to the set.

"..."

"Welcome aboard, Brother Qianhao, Meiling Nuna, I'll be in your care from now on."

At the dinner table, Gong Cheng raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked his glasses with the two new staff members sitting opposite him with a smile.

After a brief contact, we get along quite well, but as for more, we still have to slowly get to know each other through work.

"Hey, why are you so polite, Xiao Cheng..."

"..."

After the dinner, the four of them sat in the nanny car. Che Qianhao did not drink alcohol because he was serious about his work, so the task of driving fell on him.

Jin Dae-woo watched Gong Cheng's profile as he gazed out the car window at the night sky, and a wave of emotion washed over him. He'd been drinking quite a bit with Gong Cheng tonight, and generally speaking, as a manager, one would be very strict about managing an artist's drinking habits, especially one who had just debuted.

But as for Gong Cheng, this kid's playful style is well-known in the eyes of the people.

Maybe this is what rappers and stars are like? But compared to those artists in YG, in the eyes of Park Jin-young and Kim Dae-woo, Gong Sung's private life can be said to be very clean. It's just that he has more gossip and scandals. Whether he is a playboy or a nightclub star, at least he is not a legal star.

Moreover, since the day he became a talent scout, he knew that the artists in this circle usually have one thing in common: they all have two faces: one in front of the camera and another away from the spotlight.

Everyone needs hobbies to help them cope with stress, and Gong Cheng is no exception. Tarot, a highly anticipated artist, has only been around for less than a year, having weathered boycotts, online bullying, and now, the current surge in popularity, with every move under the spotlight.

As a colleague, Kim Dae-woo knows more than outside fans, so when it comes to the addition of two new staff members to the agency team this time, he has extremely strict control over all aspects such as the interviews of the staff members.

Gong Cheng wasn't the only one who didn't want to go through something similar to last year's cyberbullying and boycott.

……

2月25日，距离3月1日，专辑上半部公开音源和MV的日子还有3天。

Twice released a special album "TWICEcoaster: LANE 2" on February 20, continuing the momentum of 2016 and firing the first shot for JYP's work arrangements this year. Now, Twice seems to have become the new national girl group.

With the launch of one project after another, JYP's work strategy for the first half of this year is that in addition to Twice who have already released a special album, they will officially release the first half of Gong Cheng's first regular album on March 1. In mid-March, in addition to the announcement of Bombardment Meteor's contract renewal and personnel expansion, Got7, where Jackson Wang is located, will also release its sixth mini album "FLIGHT LOG : ARRIVAL" on March 13.

Gong Cheng sat in Twice's practice room, taking two sips of orange juice. Besides the company's March schedule, April and May would also see Bombardment Meteor's comeback. Based on Twice's performance and Park Jin-young's past schedule, they were expected to release their fourth mini-album in May.

He also has a headache about Twice's fourth mini album. After Twice released their special album two days ago, the company has started preparing for their fourth mini album, including the songs to be included. Park Jin Young has contacted Gong Sung, and the implication is that he hopes he can participate in the production.

This shows Park Jin-young's high hopes for Twice this year.

Gong Cheng had heard that Twice would release a bilingual album in Korean and Japanese this summer, debuting in Japan. From last year to now, Twice's popularity in Japan is not much different from that in mainland China.

"What are you thinking about, Oppa?" Zhou Ziyu finished her practice, wiped the sweat off her face, and sat down next to Gong Cheng in a coquettish manner.

"Thinking about how to invite Tzuyu to dinner tonight?" Gong Cheng recalled his thoughts and jokingly said with a smile. If he remembered correctly, Twice had a group schedule tonight, so the little girl in front of him didn't have time.

"Tonight?" Zhou Ziyu's face, which had been a little eager, drooped. "I'm afraid it's not possible tonight, Oppa. I have a busy schedule tonight and I'll be off work very late."

It's like this during the comeback period. The bigger the trend, the busier the schedule. She felt like she hadn't had dinner with this oppa in a long time. Did they forget about the green card line?
"Let's do it another day. Work is more important." Gong Cheng sighed with regret, and then unconsciously glanced at Mingjing Nan who was hugging Minatozaki Sana in the corner.

When their eyes met, the look of an artist who had practiced expression management during his training career was different. His gaze was straight and frighteningly cold, which made Gong Cheng feel a little scared.

She is obviously a very gentle and reserved girl, why does her eyes look so creepy?

It's like I stole her butter... totally the opposite!
"Oppa, how's the preparation for your new album going?" Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and nudged his shoulder, seeming a little unhappy that he was distracted.

Recently, she has seen many posts online about people pessimizing the performance of this oppa's new album, and many artists in the company and fans outside can see that pdnim wants this oppa to explore the US.

Even though Oppa's new album is bilingual, English and Korean, there aren't many Korean songs... Is the Grammy goal too far off right now? Mom always says you have to take things one step at a time. Pdnim and Oppa's impulsiveness has her a little worried.

"Not bad," Gong Cheng chuckled at her words. He felt the quality of the first half of the album was fine, but as for the second half, there were still many songs that hadn't been produced.

Generally speaking, an album is considered a success if one track becomes a hit. He was very confident about that one track. And last night, the first half of the album cover, a collaboration between Peninsula artist Lee.K and the company, was completed.

He'd seen the results, and they were pretty good. According to the planning process, the concept and cover poster for the first half of the album, along with a preview of the music video, would be released today, marking the final wave of promotion.

Until March 1, the first half of the audio and MV were officially released.

"Xiao Cheng, Brother Dayu just sent a message saying that the book signing event in Shanghai in April has been approved by the relevant departments." Che Qianhao remembered the experience and some precautions taught by Jin Dayu. Once he couldn't find Gong Cheng in the company, he would go to Twice's practice room. Tarot was really there. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn.

"The specific signing date has not been determined yet. Brother Dayu and the others are still communicating about the specific signing venue and layout." He added, reporting on the work progress.

"Yes, I understand, Brother Qianhao." Gong Cheng nodded happily. Compared to participating in some variety shows or something, he thought it would be better to meet more fans.

Since her debut, the only domestic event she has participated in was the MAMA Awards Ceremony, but she did not attend due to filming.

After waiting for Che Qianhao to leave the practice room, Gong Cheng took out his cell phone, flipped the camera, sat on the sofa, and took a selfie.

Zhou Ziyu took in the whole scene and pouted: "Oppa, are you taking a selfie?"

How come your photography skills are worse than mine...

"Yes, I'm going to meet my fans in China. I wanted to send an Instagram post to inform them first. They should be very happy, right?" Gong Cheng laughed brightly. He released two albums last year, "YDP" and "Fireworks are eternal". Among them, the sales of "YDP" were very high. All of this is thanks to the love and support of fans in China.

"How can you be so casual when sending photos to your fans... It will seem perfunctory." Zhou Ziyu corrected him speechlessly, then she stretched out her hand and hummed, "Give it to me, I'll take a picture for you."

"It's best to take full-body photos, full-face photos... different angles are best. What's the point of just posting one close-up shot of your face? And Oppa, you rarely update your social media platforms with photos of your daily life. Of course, fans want to see more~"

As Zhou Ziyu spoke, she picked up her phone, walked back two steps and squatted on the floor of the practice room. Her serious little face frowned from time to time as she instructed Gong Cheng on what poses to strike.

Lim Nayeon and Yu Jeongyeon glanced at each other, and then stared at Gong Cheng on the sofa and Chou Tzuyu who was taking pictures.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. These two people's photography skills are about the same, right?

How dare the maknae teach, and Gong Cheng learn... "Is that all right, Tzuyu? This is already very handsome, the pose you mentioned is a bit too exaggerated..." Gong Cheng stood in front of the wall of the practice room, his hands in his pockets, looking at Tzuyu. He felt that the poses Tzuyu was teaching were a bit awkward and pretentious...

Coupled with the other eight members' expressions of trying not to laugh in the communication room, Gong Cheng couldn't help but blush. He pulled his hand out of his trouser pocket and waved it: "No more filming, no more filming..."

He didn't feel this awkward even when he was shooting an Armani commercial...

Pose master Kim Da-hyun joined the battle. She reached out and patted Gong Cheng on the back: "Oppa, straighten your back a little more. One, two, three, smile..."

"..." Gong Cheng had no choice but to do as he was told. Under Tofu's guidance, he was already feeling a little insecure...

"For the last picture, Oppa, go stand by the window. Yes!" Zhou Ziyu looked through the camera seriously, the figure on the screen, the slightly tilted cheek...

"Oppa, stand a little closer. It's sunny today. Let the sun hit your face. It's so handsome!"

"OK! Keep this position and don't move!"

Zhou Ziyu locked onto the camera and pressed the shutter button. In the frozen photo, a beam of warm sunlight shone squarely on Gong Cheng's eyelids. His tall nose was carved into a delicate tapestry of light and shadow, one side shrouded in soft shadow, the other bathed in golden light. And his long, slender eyelashes, shone with the sunlight, cast a faint, fan-shaped ray...

"Oh my god, the photo is really cool!" Lin Nayeon came close to the youngest member, looked at the photo that had just been taken, and exclaimed in admiration.

"It's got a great vibe," Yu Jeongyeon nodded and commented, "But Gong Sung oppa is pretty handsome anyway!"

During the hard-earned break, he was asked to be a model. Gong Cheng shrugged helplessly and took back his phone. He looked at the photos taken by Zhou Ziyu, which were not bad.

He sat on the sofa, opened his Instagram account, and casually flipped through the little red dot that popped up. Countless comments filled the comment section. Some urged him to open his business, some expressed anticipation for his new album, some told him to go to hell, and there were also many comments in Chinese.

"When will Oppa come to the country for activities~"

"Come to China~ Even a variety show would be fine~"

"..."

Gong Cheng exited the comment section and uploaded the photo Zhou Ziyu had just taken. He thought for a moment and edited the text in Chinese: "It's not that we can't meet."

After posting on Instagram, he stood up and left Twice's practice room. Before leaving, he winked at the rabbit idol next to him.

……

An hour later, in a barbecue restaurant not far from JYP.

Lin Nayeon tiptoed into the box and took off her scarf and mask. It was really not easy to meet her boyfriend secretly.

"It's been a long time coming."

She sat next to Gong Cheng with a smile and rubbed against him.

"I just got here a while ago," Gong Cheng said truthfully. He arrived almost at the same time as Lin Nayeon. "What time is your afternoon schedule?"

"We're leaving at four..." Lin Nayeon said with a look of grievance, grinning, "I'm so tired, dear."

Twice's comeback schedule is not something that most people can handle. The members' gradually thinner figures are not only due to the need for body management during their comeback, but also due to fatigue.

Lin Nayeon complained while helping Gong Cheng turn the barbecue. She has been working on her figure management recently. Although she was drooling over these foods, she still had to control her mouth. So she came here today mainly to accompany Gong Cheng for dinner.

"One kiss and you'll feel better." Gong Cheng smiled, opening a can of Coke and placing it next to her. The bunny idol was clearly both tormented and happy. He knew Nayeon was different from him, and that his entry into this industry was an accident. Meanwhile, Nayeon and the members of Twice dreamed of standing on stage.

"No way." Lin Nayeon curled her lips, having gradually gotten used to this man's shameless kiss. After seeing Gong Cheng about to open another can of Coke, she quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "Just open one can."

As she spoke, she glanced at Gong Cheng with a blush on her face, then took out two straws and put them into the same can of Coke, handing it to him: "Let's drink together..."

Gong Cheng looked at the two straws placed side by side and smiled happily. He took the Coke and placed it on the table, teasing, "No, I want you to feed me with your mouth."

"What are you talking about? You wish!" Lin Nayeon's buck teeth suddenly twitched, her face burning even hotter. She pinched Gong Cheng's waist hard, "You're so dishonest every day, you rascal!"

"Yes, dad is right! From the first day I saw the rabbit idol, I wanted to act like a hooligan to you. I don't know why..." Gong Cheng hugged Lin Nayeon with a playful smile.

"Ah! Didn't I tell you not to call me a rabbit idol anymore~" When Lin Nayeon heard this name, her face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed. She kept thinking of a song she sang.

"Being a big star is tiring, right?" Gong Cheng hugged Lin Nayeon in his arms, and looked at her face with a chuckle, which made people feel distressed. Park Jin Young in the groove!
"If you're tired, take a break now..."

"I don't feel tired when you hold me." Lin Nayeon's blush faded, and she rubbed his cheek with a smile. She found that this man was asking about her smell again, and she didn't know what kind of quirk he had.

The two hugged each other briefly, and Lin Nayeon broke free from Gong Cheng's arms full of energy. She picked up the barbecue and stuffed it into the bowl, urging, "Eat quickly, eat more."

Gong Cheng took a sip of Coke with her and then stuffed the barbecue into his mouth. He didn't eat breakfast this morning, so he was a little hungry. He had a physique that didn't put on weight. As long as he didn't overeat, his weight wouldn't fluctuate much if he ate normally.

Nayeon watched him eat with delight, picking up some food for Gong Cheng while taking photos with her phone. She had once imagined them together, sharing a can of Coke.

Today, it came true, and she felt very happy. She was very proud of the song "Yes or No" Gong Cheng wrote for her, and she chose "yse".

……

At the same time, Zhang Yixing, who was active in China, had just woken up in the nanny car. He yawned and asked his agent how long it would take to reach his work destination.

After receiving a reply from his agent, he opened Instagram out of boredom and scrolled through a few posts.

Seeing Tarot's update in his follow list, he curiously clicked on it. He had the impression that this guy rarely posted on Instagram. The most frequent posting was probably during the Bombardment Meteor promotion last year, right?

Commemorate a trophy with a post on Instagram.

"It's not that we can't meet." Zhang Yixing subconsciously read out loud after seeing that the text sent by Gong Cheng was in Chinese, and glanced at the nine-square grid of photos under his eyes. The youngest member finally stopped posting such perfunctory selfies.

"Is this going to be a domestic event?" He looked through the comment section with some confusion, only to find that Gong Cheng's comment section had already exploded.

Dense Chinese comments took over the comment section.

"Oppa, are you coming to the domestic activities?"

"It's in Chinese. Is Oppa going back to China to participate in some variety show?"

"Wow! Oppa hasn't been online for a long time. It's rare for Oppa to post so many daily photos at once. Rem~"

"Even the coldest woman would be happy to see Oppa's face, right?"

"Lao Gong, Saranghae, come back to your country and do some activities~ I will support you with all my money~"

"When my husband comes to China to hold a concert, I will wear my wedding dress and go woooo ...
