97: Chapter 98 Three Lines Flying Together

Park So-yeon sang the final note.

The venue was silent for three seconds.

Then, thunderous applause erupted.

Yoo Hee-yeol stood up and applauded.

"Ms. Soyeon, that was amazing."

"Your Chinese pronunciation."

"Is more standard than many native Chinese speakers."

Park So-yeon bowed.

"Thank you."

Her eyes turned red.

"This song."

"Is one I'm singing for everyone who waited for me."

"Thank you all."

"For not giving up on me."

Offstage.

Jeon Bo-ram grabbed Qian Xu's arm.

"Unnie is amazing!"

"I have goosebumps!"

Qian Xu smiled.

"She has always been amazing."

Ham Eun-jung nodded from the side.

"That's right."

"She was just frozen for six years."

"Now, she is finally shining."

Recording finished.

Park So-yeon walked out from backstage.

The six of them surrounded her.

Jeon Bo-ram hugged her.

"Unnie!"

"You were amazing!"

Park So-yeon smiled.

But her eyes were still red.

"Thank you."

"I was so nervous just now."

"I was afraid of singing the wrong note."

"You didn't sing anything wrong."

Qian Xu walked over.

"Not a single word was wrong."

Park So-yeon looked at him.

Her eyes were gentle.

"Mr. Qian."

"I did it."

"Yeah."

Qian Xu nodded.

"You did it."

The phone vibrated.

It was a system notification.

Qian Xu opened it.

He smiled.

He put his phone away.

"Let's go."

"We're celebrating tonight."

"It's my treat."

Hongdae, BBQ restaurant.

The six of them sat around the table.

The table was filled with pork belly, soju, and beer.

Jeon Bo-ram picked up her soju glass.

"The first glass."

"To So-yeon Unnie!"

"To her perfect performance tonight!"

"Cheers!"

The six of them clinked glasses.

They drank it all in one gulp.

Park So-yeon put down her glass.

She looked at Qian Xu.

"Mr. Qian."

"This glass is for you."

"Without you."

"There wouldn't be the me of today."

Qian Xu also picked up his glass.

"It was your own hard work."

"I just provided the opportunity."

"You seized it."

"That's why you succeeded."

The two clinked glasses.

They drank it all in one gulp.

The phone vibrated again.

It was a call from Kim Min-jun.

Qian Xu answered.

"Mr. Qian, something big happened."

"What is it?"

"Yunmengze Life Plaza."

Kim Min-jun's voice was excited.

"Today's sales revenue."

"Exceeded 1.5 billion KRW."

Qian Xu was stunned.

"1.5 billion?"

"Yes."

Kim Min-jun said.

"And it wasn't a promotion."

"It was normal sales."

"There was a half-hour line at the fresh produce section."

"The Chinese snack section sold out completely."

Qian Xu smiled.

"Good."

"I understand."

"See you at the company tomorrow morning."

"We'll discuss restocking."

"Okay."

Kim Min-jun hung up.

Jeon Bo-ram looked at him.

"Mr. Qian, what's wrong?"

"Yunmengze Life Plaza."

Qian Xu smiled.

"Today's sales reached 1.5 billion KRW."

All six of them were stunned.

"1.5 billion?"

Ham Eun-jung widened her eyes.

"How many days has it been since opening?"

"One week."

Qian Xu nodded.

"And it wasn't a promotion."

"It was normal sales."

Park Ji-yeon slapped the table.

"Wow!"

"Mr. Qian, you're amazing!"

"You can even make a supermarket this popular!"

Qian Xu smiled.

"It's not my credit."

"It's the Pang Donglai model."

"It works well in Korea too."

Park So-yeon looked at him.

"Mr. Qian."

"What kind of person are you, really?"

"How can you make everything a success?"

Qian Xu looked at her.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

"Just lucky."

"To have met you all."

Park So-yeon blushed.

She lowered her head.

Jeon Bo-ram watched from the side.

Her expression was a bit complex.

But she didn't speak.

Ham Eun-jung picked up her glass.

"Mr. Qian."

"This glass is for you."

"To Yunmengze Life Plaza."

"To T-ARA's successful comeback."

"To So-yeon's performance tonight."

"To you."

"For making everything possible."

Qian Xu also picked up his glass.

"To you all."

"To T-ARA."

"To the future."

The two clinked glasses.

They drank it all in one gulp.

The phone vibrated again.

It was a system notification.

Qian Xu opened it.

He smiled.

He put his phone away.

He looked at the six people in front of him.

They were laughing.

Playing around.

Drinking.

Celebrating.

At this moment.

He felt.

Everything was worth it.

11:00 PM.

The celebration party broke up.

The six of them walked out of the BBQ restaurant.

The night in Hongdae.

Was still lively.

Someone was playing guitar on the street.

Someone was dancing.

"Mr. Qian, I'll take them back first."

Ham Eun-jung said.

"Okay."

Qian Xu nodded.

"Be careful on the road."

Jeon Bo-ram waved at him.

"Good night, Mr. Qian!"

"Good night."

Park Ji-yeon yawned.

"So sleepy..."

"Going back to sleep..."

Lee Qri supported Park Hyomin.

"Let's go."

"There's an interview tomorrow."

The six of them got into a taxi.

The car drove away.

Qian Xu stood on the side of the road.

Watching the taxi disappear into the night.

The phone vibrated.

It was a message from Park So-yeon.

"Mr. Qian, thank you for tonight."

"Thank you for coming to watch my recording."

"Thank you for everything you've done for me."

Qian Xu replied.

"You're welcome."

"It was your own hard work."

Park So-yeon replied quickly.

"Mr. Qian."

"I want to tell you something."

Qian Xu was stunned for a moment.

"Go ahead."

"I like you."

"It's not gratitude."

"It's heart-fluttering."

"Every time I see you."

"My heart rate speeds up."

"I know you've rejected me before."

"But I still want to say it."

"I will wait."

"Until you like me too."

Qian Xu looked at the screen.

Not knowing what to reply.

The phone vibrated again.

Park So-yeon sent another message.

"Good night."

"Mr. Qian."

"See you tomorrow."

Qian Xu stood where he was.

Looking at the phone screen.

His heart felt warm.

This girl.

Is really persistent.

He smiled.

He typed.

"Good night."

"Ms. Soyeon."

"See you tomorrow."

He put his phone away.

Looking up at the night sky of Seoul.

There were few stars.

But they were bright.

At this moment.

He knew.

Everything had changed.

T-ARA's comeback was successful.

The Pang Donglai model had ignited Seoul.

Park So-yeon's romantic line.

Was also officially established.

He took a deep breath.

And smiled.

"Tomorrow."

"Will be a new day again."

The phone vibrated.

It was a system notification.

Qian Xu opened it.

[Daily quota received]

[Available today: 11.57 billion KRW]

[Accumulated balance: 32.74 billion KRW]

He smiled.

He put his phone away.

Walking towards the parking lot.

The night in Seoul.

Was still long.

But tomorrow.

It will definitely be better.
