Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 252 Director Chen is a true believer.

Minju rinsed his body with hot water, feeling a strange sense of detachment, as if some unpleasantness from just now had been washed away by the water.

Wrapped in a bath towel, the girl nestled on the sofa in the bedroom, her wet hair leaving traces of water on the cushions, but she didn't seem to care.

She hugged her legs to her chest and rested her chin on her knees, as if this could ward off the chill rising in her heart. Although Secretary Li said that Chen Shijun was a good person, she didn't dare to think that way.

Because what happened tonight wasn't a big deal at all. I went there on the crew's instructions and thought it was just a regular crew dinner.

Even under these circumstances, Chen Shijun still expressed distrust. Was he trying to hint at something to her? Min Zhou felt increasingly frightened as she thought about it.

Moreover, the source of this resource was obtained in a very strange way, almost through blatant back channels, so the crew members even had some aversion to her.

However, despite the rejection, it is common for people with connections to get into productions, and many production teams also rely on the power behind the actors.

Taking a deep breath, the feeling of stuffiness seemed to dissipate a bit, but like a little frog facing a large python lurking not far away, the fear of facing a natural enemy can never be easily dispelled.

He took out a packet of red ginseng juice and bit into it, then took out his phone to look at his messages. Since he and An'an separated, it seemed that they hadn't been in contact as frequently as before.

There's nothing we can do about it; our debut group hasn't finished rehearsing yet, so we have a lot of free time.

But things seem different on Andog's side. Starship has prepared debut members long ago, just waiting for the Twin Towers to return so they can instantly revive their teammates.

It looks quite complete now. According to An An, a new group will definitely be launched in the second half of this year, at which point they will become competitors.

Replying to the younger sister's message, I typed for a long time and then deleted it all, and directly sent a voice message, wanting to hear the voice of the big dog at that moment.

"Unnie? It's so late at night, and you haven't replied to my messages for ages. Could it be that you have another sister and our relationship has cooled down?"

An'an is applying a face mask. An 18-year-old girl's skin is so supple and radiant, but she still needs to take care of herself properly.

Yoojin felt that her facial features were a bit harsh, but she also asked Chen Shijun, who said that a heroic temperament and good looks are very attractive, and Jung Eunchae seems to have the same look.

Thinking about this made me happy, but then the woman turned on the video and I could see that she was changing into her pajamas. Sure enough, she was completely unguarded in front of me.

"Unnie's figure is actually quite good, well-proportioned and slender, while my frame is a bit large."

Some fans even gave themselves the derogatory nickname "Xiao Zhuang," which made An An extremely unhappy. How could anyone talk about a girl like that?

"What nonsense are you talking about! I don't have any other sisters, I just have some worries."

Hearing An An's voice and seeing her strange face mask, Min Zhou felt a sense of familiarity, as if he were back in IZ*ONE's dorm. An An was still the younger sister who would conspire with Won Young to steal his snacks.

"What's wrong? Is someone bullying you? Is someone treating you badly in the new group?"

Yoojin's voice instantly turned serious, carrying a hint of protective urgency. She was thinking that if such a thing really happened, could she ask Chen Shijun to step in and protect Minju?

"No, not really. You know, I just joined the crew, and I still need to explore acting further."

Minju quickly denied Yoojin's statement, but there was indeed some unpleasantness in the debut group. Kim Ga-ram, the trainee that HYBE valued highly, didn't show any obvious hostility towards her, but the slight sarcasm in her eyes and words was definitely noticeable. "Director Chen Shijun is indeed a man of his word. He actually delivered on the resources for unnie so quickly. I told you unnie didn't have to worry at all."

When Yu-jin thought about how worried her older sister had been, she realized that she was overthinking things. Chen Shi-jun was a man of great stature; how could he possibly fool a little idol like her?

This group hasn't even officially debuted yet, but they've already fulfilled her promise. This woman has really struck gold.

An An felt a surge of pleasure from doing good. Min Zhou was still hesitant at the time; if he hadn't talked to her, she probably wouldn't have been able to make up her mind.

"Hehe! I guess so. I have been honing my acting skills lately. You know, directors aren't very forgiving of newcomers..."

Especially for those who got promoted through connections, it would be much better if Chen Shijun could smooth things over with them; otherwise, he would inevitably be scolded. But Minju was already mentally prepared for this.

"I'll send you a coffee truck when the time comes. Then you can give me a count of how many people are in the crew. It'll help you make a good impression on others."

An An thinks this older sister is quite enviable. After leaving Urban Works, she seems to have become even more privileged. She's truly born with good fortune.

However, she and Chen Shijun are friends. If she switches to HYBE, will this man still value her so much, or will he favor her even more?
An Gou Gou thought that was for sure, after all, Director Chen was very gentle and patient with him, but he wasn't really interested in acting.

"No need! How could I let my sister spend money?"

Minju felt a warmth in her heart; it hadn't been for nothing that she had doted on this guy. This feeling gave her a warmth she had never experienced at HYBE.

"Don't say that. I can afford this amount of money. Besides, we're about to debut and we'll be able to earn a lot of money."

With the backing of internet giant Kakao, Starship will certainly have no shortage of resources. Moreover, with himself and Yuan Ying working together, even if the others are just peripheral talents, it won't affect their success.

"But don't worry too much, Unnie! Others would be envious of this kind of opportunity. You're just having a happy problem. Director Chen is too good to you."

The girl felt that Minju was being treated too much like Versailles, starting with such an important role as the second female lead. You have to understand how many female idols start out as extras.

"Youzhen! Tell me, what kind of person is Representative Chen Shijun? You always said he was a good person, but why am I so afraid of him?"

Minju didn't need to pretend in front of this younger sister. She frankly expressed her confusion. This younger sister shouldn't have had much contact with Chen Shijun. Could it be that she only judged him by his appearance because he was handsome?

"Unnie! Has something happened?"

Yoojin listened quietly, then peeled off her face mask, revealing a clean face close to the screen, pouting as if staring at Minju.

But the older woman didn't say anything for a long time. The two of them just stared at each other, and they could even hear each other's breathing through the loudspeaker.

"To be honest, I didn't have much contact with him, but even with his status, he didn't act superior to us. On the contrary, he offered some help in a very gentle manner."

Although it was out of respect for Yuan Ying, Youzhen felt that after spending so much time with Chen Shijun, he treated those he respected with great respect.

And he was clearly someone the man approved of. The big dog felt very proud of himself. If he had a tail, it would be wagging in the air.
