150: Show-off style

Although unwilling, she had no choice but to follow the program's rules. She hoped it wasn't a fan of hers. They said it was a live call, but in reality, it was all pre-recorded.

However, the messages were indeed left by fans. After they were all seated, Jeong Hyeong-don signaled the production team to play them. Fortunately, the first one was Kim Ji-soo's.

“Jisoo, can you flirt with Zoe? Oh! Come on, Jisoo, show us! Fans will see this when it airs. Let’s see the charm of ‘Straight Man Show’.”

Kim Ji-soo felt a headache. Even a master of aegyo like Kim Jennie couldn't handle Xu Zhiyou, so how could she?

Xu Zhiyou also felt speechless. It would be more like her to flirt with Kim Ji-soo, but since it was just for the show, she would cooperate a little.

“Come on! Jisoo Oppa, I’m waiting for you to flirt with me.”

“Then let’s try?”

Kim Ji-soo's mind was filled with scenes from the youth idol dramas and 'Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me' she had watched. She pinched Xu Zhiyou's chin.

Unfortunately, she forgot her lines. While trying to think of what to say, she looked at that face up close and remembered her first kiss, which made her blush instantly.

“Hmm?”

Xu Zhiyou was also puzzled. She looked up and met Kim Ji-soo's gaze. Xu Zhiyou thought, this little girl is indeed beautiful.

Her big eyes were round, her skin was fair, but she looked a bit tired, indicating she had been under a lot of pressure lately. As her thoughts wandered, Kim Ji-soo was also busy thinking.

Maintaining that pose, to outsiders, they looked like they were exchanging glances. Kim Jennie and Park Chaeyoung, the three of them, huddled together, smiling like proud aunts.

“Yay!” The three of them, Kim Jennie included, had expressions like they had just witnessed something amazing.

This fan who made the request was really good at this. The three of them unanimously decided to give her a signed album after the show.

“Aigoo! Jisoo is indeed from an acting background. Her impromptu reaction is truly amazing, I’m impressed, I’m impressed.”

They were startled awake by Jeong Hyeong-don's voice. Xu Zhiyou didn't forget to wink at her, but instead, Kim Ji-soo flicked her on the forehead with a finger. What kind of situation was this?

Rubbing her forehead, “Hey! Show Ge! I’ve cooperated with you so much, and this is how you repay me?”

Kim Ji-soo said indifferently, “What else? Marry me?”

No wonder so many fans said she was stealing the visual position. This damn thing's looks were indeed strong. If she looked at her for two more seconds, she would bend. Amitābha, calm down, calm down.

Xu Zhiyou casually agreed, “It’s not impossible.”

“Tch!”

“Ay~ yo~ wei! Now this is like a couple, hehe~~” Lisa almost handed them a marriage certificate on the spot. This bickering was too lovely.

“Hahaha~~” Everyone on set was amused by Lisa’s reaction. Their own group was shipping a CP, how could this be?

“Lisa! Shipping everything can easily break your teeth.” Xu Zhiyou was quite speechless. Don't her own people know better? She's just stirring things up.

“It’s fine! If they break, I’ll just get them fixed.”

“Speechless!” She sat down, too lazy to bother with her. Jeong Hyeong-don took over, “Jisoo! After this show airs, you’ll be getting scripts. Your acting is absolutely fine.”

He felt that the silent moment on set was more powerful than words. Their eyes and body language had already expressed everything perfectly, without needing any ambiguous words to seem out of place. It was excellent.

“Kamsahamnida! Jeong Hyeong-don Senior.” Kim Ji-soo didn't understand why he said that, but thanking him was definitely not a problem.

“Good! Let’s continue. The first request was so interesting, I’m even more excited for the next calls now, hahaha!”

The second one was Park Chaeyoung's. This time, it probably wouldn't be about flirting with her. She was also curious about what it would be.

“Rose, can you sing a song by IU Senior? I especially want to hear your voice singing her songs.” Jeong Hyeong-don felt this was uninteresting. It wasn't as fun as the first one.

However, he still turned to Park Chaeyoung and asked, “Chaeyoung, pick a song. The production team will discuss the copyright with IU.”

Park Chaeyoung started picking a song, but Xu Zhiyou stopped her. Not only was Park Chaeyoung confused, but Kim Ji-soo was also puzzled.

These kinds of things are actually quite common. They didn't know why Xu Zhiyou stopped her, but even though they didn't understand, all four of them silently showed their support.

“Jeong Hyeong-don Senior, it’s really not good without her authorization. The key is that we don’t even know each other. Doing this feels a bit disrespectful to IU Senior.”

Yoo Dae-joon comforted her, “IU is quite generous. This kind of thing has happened many times before, it’s fine.”

“Let’s not! Let’s ask her privately first. After she authorizes it, then Chaeyoung can sing, or even collaborate with IU Senior.”

Then she winked at Jeong Hyeong-don for help. Although he didn't understand, he chose to skip the topic, “That’s also good. Only a producer can understand a producer. Let’s move on to the next one.”

Next, it was either dancing or making funny faces. Kim Ji-soo holding her hair on both sides and walking like a duck made many people laugh, showing her full variety sense.

Finally, a karaoke group battle ended the recording. Overall, it was very good. On their way back, Park Chaeyoung couldn't help but ask,

“Zoe, why did you stop me? Did something happen?”

“The unauthorized use issue, it’s not big, not small, but it will put us in a very passive position. If someone buys negative publicity saying you disrespect a senior or something, that’s enough to cause you trouble. Avoid it if you can.”

“Why would anyone target me! I’m just a small main vocalist, why would they target me?” Park Chaeyoung felt incredibly frustrated.

The main dancer of (G)I-DLE, who hadn't even debuted yet, had been subjected to a wave of public opinion attacks. And there were several others, like the now-struggling T-ara, who had suffered from public opinion.

“Refer to T-ara, TWICE’s Tzuyu, and so on. The goal is very simple: to ruin one person and affect the group’s development.”

“Ah? Am I being targeted? Help me!”

“It’s just a precaution. Besides, the CEO’s plan is for you all to go to America. You haven’t even started, so how could he let you be persecuted?”

“But! The CEO doesn’t like me.” Park Chaeyoung didn’t think Yang Hyun-suk would step in to support her if a problem arose. She couldn't even imagine it.

“You like old men? You don’t have that kind of fetish, do you?”

“Pfft hahahaha~~” Kim Ji-soo and the other two found it incredibly amusing watching Park Chaeyoung’s face turn green then purple.

Park Chaeyoung slapped her on the back, absolutely fuming, “Ya! I’m talking seriously, why are you spouting nonsense?”

“I’m just reminding you all. Being in the world of fame and fortune, you must be careful, careful, and even more careful. Also, this Peninsula never looks at evidence.”

“As long as public opinion rises, everyone just joins in the fun, and they don’t have to bear the consequences. Just be careful yourselves.”

“That’s true! I’ll keep an eye on the three of them, don’t worry.” Kim Ji-soo strongly agreed with Xu Zhiyou’s statement, because she was a native of the Peninsula.

“How come you’re all heads, but you think so far ahead?” Lisa, biting her fingernails, couldn't help but ask.
