Chapter 83 I'll Kill You (Please Subscribe)
"I...I don't know. Did I say I was going abroad?"

To everyone's surprise, this little girl had already mastered the art of radar research on Chen Shijun. Having been exposed, she immediately fell silent and began to make excuses.

“I heard everything you just said.”

Yuan Ying stared at her with wide eyes to confirm, making An Gou Gou want to slap himself hard. If this girl exposed him, would he become an unreliable figure in Chen Shijun's eyes?

In fact, Yuan Ying was already full of suspicion. This older sister sometimes acted very strangely, but she never had any reliable clues.

Perhaps I should keep a closer eye on her and pay more attention to her unusual behavior, but no matter how hard I try, I can't think of any connection between her and Chen Shijun.

But last time he did go to Yujin's autograph session, and Yujin reacted rather dramatically, so he and Yujin were both criticized by fans.

It can be considered a kind of shared hardship. Wonyoung felt a little guilty a while ago, after all, he was the one who invited oppa, and Yoojin unnie was probably caught in the crossfire when she was scolded.

"Really? When we had dinner together last time, I heard Mr. Chen on the phone saying he was going abroad, and I figured that was probably it."

Yu-jin had never felt that her language skills were so poor. Her face turned red. She vowed never to be so impulsive again.

"You're right, oppa did go abroad. I'm asking him to bring me a gift."

Yuan Ying noticeably softened her tone, but her eyes remained fixed on An Gou Gou's face, as if trying to find some clues. Fortunately, You Zhen displayed remarkable composure at this moment.

"You always bother your oppa. Maybe one day he'll find you annoying."

After the brief standoff ended, Youzhen turned around and let out a long sigh of relief. She hadn't expected that such a young girl could exude such a powerful aura. If Chen Shijun had found out that she had been secretly contacting him, it would have caused a huge mess.

"Would your family find you annoying?"

Xiao Yuan completely denied her sister's accusations. How could Chen Shijun possibly be annoyed with her? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Moreover, it wasn't just Kim Min-ji who recently enrolled; she also enrolled in the Practical Music Department of Seoul Arts High School. The difference is that Min-ji, who had always maintained a high attendance rate, is now rarely attending classes.

Balancing an entertainment career with studies is a common challenge for young artists. Ahn Yu-jin dropped out of school after only a few months, but Hsiao-Yuan felt she had to persevere.

Yuan Ying has had a wide range of interests since childhood, and her intelligence allows her to master them easily. She has great talent, but her weakness is that she doesn't have strong interests.

Only Chen Shijun can give her a boost, like in this case of dropping out of school, where his opinion influenced her decision.

"You're right, you're absolutely right. Why don't I have such a great oppa?"

Although the group seems to be gradually getting back on track, everyone knows that it can no longer be compared to their first year after debut.

Both the number of activities and the density of schedules are much worse than before, so it's easy to imagine that the first revenue share was the peak.

The company has officially announced the debut plan to the two individuals, and some of the trainees have already been assigned. They are just waiting for the contracts to expire so they can be brought back to the Twin Towers.

The thought that they would still be teammates and that Chen Shijun would still keep in touch with her filled Youzhen with joy.

"If you dare to secretly lay a hand on my oppa, I'll kill you!"

Xiao Yuan's sudden sharp gaze and distorted expression shocked An An. This little girl of her age was making no attempt to conceal her intentions.

"I...I didn't, Xiaoyuan, you..."

Seeing that the older sister was a little flustered, Yuan Ying reached out and touched the beads of sweat on her forehead. Her expression instantly melted away like ice and snow, and she returned to her lovely and warm appearance.

"Just kidding, look how scared you are. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were trying to seduce my oppa!" Seeing the older woman frightened, Won-young felt a little smug. It was rare to see an older woman so flustered.

“My oppa isn’t actually that great. He looks handsome, but he’s actually very stubborn and everything has to be done his way.”

Yuan Ying became very wary of this older sister, especially after the autograph session, which is one of the reasons why this possessiveness was noticed.

"Besides, he's old and has a lot of women around him. I even ran into a bad woman last time. Unnie is still young and shouldn't associate with these dangerous people."

Poor Chen Shijun suddenly became a dangerous person in Yuan Ying's mouth. Even An Gou Gou felt that this slander was too much. He didn't expect that this guy would even use self-deprecation to prevent others from having any ideas.

"For Director Chen to achieve success at this age, he must have a determination that is not swayed by external voices. This is not a weakness."

However, Yu-jin has always viewed issues from a different perspective. In the face of Chen Shih-chun's success, these shortcomings are actually the strengths that enabled his success.

"Besides, oppa isn't old at all. Idols who are the same age as him are still active on stage, and some of them are even older than him."

Yu-jin thinks that Chen Shi-jun's age is considered that of a new generation actor in Chungmuro, and he is not old at all. The recently popular young film emperor, Yoo Ah-in, is actually two years older than Chen Shi-jun.

Among the wealthy, this is even more extraordinary. Those born in the 90s are practically child prodigies. The more Youzhen thought about it, the more she realized how incredibly amazing they were.

Sometimes, after being attracted by someone's aura and filters, one will automatically distort the other person's flaws, especially since he possesses one of the qualities that South Koreans value most: good looks.

She couldn't see Chen Shijun's cold-hearted side, only his gentleness towards the maknae. She only regarded Xiaoyuan's slander as her possessiveness and that he didn't want others to get close to her oppa.

Although he was very intelligent, he was ultimately lacking in life experience due to his age, and Chen Shijun was indeed very deceptive.

A superior physique with broad shoulders and a narrow waist is a big plus. The movements are smooth and natural, and even when looking down or up, one appears calm and composed, giving people a feeling of "elegant timidity".

He was nothing like Xiaoyuan described, who had a strong desire to control. Even when invited to dinner, he acted like a guest, and his humble and low-key demeanor did not make the girls feel any pressure.

At that moment, this feeling made the usually cheerful An Gou Gou instinctively shy but couldn't help but steal glances. His tall stature should have been very intimidating, but his refined temperament weakened his aggression, which is a manifestation of contradictory attraction.

"Hmph, if that's how you put it, then there's nothing I can do. If you really fall into my hands, don't blame me for not warning you."

She seemed to want to intimidate her teammate, but it didn't seem to have much effect, so Yuan Ying simply stopped saying anything. Actually, she had been gradually coming to a realization recently.

Just as Jung Eun-chae thought Won-young was no match for her in the same race, So-won didn't take her seriously either. Her fatal flaw of poor foundation and older age meant she would only be Chen Shi-jun's plaything for a while.

However, it was outrageous that they actually made me call them "Mom." It's so humiliating to think about it now. I've never suffered such a loss in all these years.

It's infuriating to see someone act all sullen in front of their oppa, especially when they claim to be a fan. I'm just glad they're not driven crazy.

Chen Shijun continued to push forward with Levvels-related matters in Los Angeles. Thanks to Big Hit's global network, some policy-related matters were almost just a formality.

Once a local network of relationships is established, most things become much easier, while those without such channels require navigating them one by one.

Sometimes you have to marvel at how strange luck can be. Just a few years ago, it was an unknown small company, no different from Hong Seung-sung, who also left JYP.

But who could have imagined that this all-or-nothing idol incubation program would achieve such great success, breaking the traditional K-pop model in one fell swoop? While family background certainly played a role, it was only one part of the success.

Chen Shijun didn't think that his uncle, a member of parliament, and his father, a senior civil servant, could create such a huge momentum. Such success could only be attributed to the gradual advancement of each step, which led to an unstoppable momentum.

As the saying goes, a small fire depends on support, but a big fire depends on fate. Sometimes luck really is a part of success. However, after glory, there is often dimness. Staying in the company for a long time can easily make him feel that he is better than others.
