165: No acting spoiled anywhere
Kim Jennie saw her eldest Unnie looking at her intentionally and unintentionally, which made her very flustered. "Chaeyoung! Jisoo won't really make me stay home and pick my feet, right?"
Park Chaeyoung thought for a moment, then looked at Kim Jennie and said seriously, "Jennie-oni! Zoe Senior might be unreliable, but she would never joke about our future."
"I know! But you all know how competitive K-pop is. If you're not careful, you'll be washed ashore. Do you think I'm Zoe Senior? I don't have that much ability."
Lisa patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Jennie-oni! If it really comes down to it, just hug Zoe Senior's leg and cry for a few days, and she'll get you an album that'll make you instantly take off."
Park Chaeyoung rolled her eyes after hearing that. "Lalisa! Can you have some shame? I have a song stored with Zoe Senior that I'm reluctant to use now. Do you think quality songs are like cabbages?"
"Even if you wanted to use it, you couldn't! Would the CEO let you solo?"
Park Chaeyoung felt a pang in her heart and said in Xu Zhiyou's direction, "This old lady will become a producer sooner or later!"
"Go for it! I support you morally."
Park Chaeyoung looked at her casual attitude and felt like she was being mocked. "Why do I feel like you're mocking me?"
Lisa looked innocent, shrugging her shoulders. "No! I'm too busy being envious, how could I mock you? After all, I really can't learn it."
"You haven't even tried to learn, so how do you know you can't?"
Kim Jennie watched them both getting more and more off-topic, her forehead full of black lines. They were ignoring her fate, which made her angry enough to tap each of their foreheads.
"I'm about to be suspended, can you two show some concern for me? I took you two so seriously back then, you ungrateful wretches."
Park Chaeyoung rubbed her forehead. "Jennie-oni! With Zoe Senior around, how could she let you flop?"
"That's right! Jennie-oni, as long as we don't do anything stupid, Zoe Senior won't ignore us. Just put your heart at ease."
Kim Jennie thought about it seriously. If Xu Zhiyou was determined to suspend her, she would have no choice but to leave the group.
But she wouldn't even consider leaving the group. "Sigh! Forget it! Whatever happens, happens."
"Dumpling Ni! Did Kuma die? Why that expression?"
Kim Jennie glared at her fiercely. "Yah! I told you not to talk about my Kuma! Say it again and I'll fall out with you."
Xu Zhiyou reached out and pinched her Dumpling face, rubbing it a few times. "I'll help you. What shape do you like? I'll custom-make it for you."
"Mmm mmm... Let go of my hand! I'm your Unnie... Mmm mmm..."
"Unnie my foot, a human Dumpling is more like it. Nice to touch! Full of collagen. If it were stewed, the texture should be even better than pig trotters."
Kim Jennie rolled her eyes so hard they almost went to heaven. Comparing her cheek meat to pig trotters, the world of a glutton was truly unique.
Kim Ji-soo, who had followed them, slapped Xu Zhiyou's hand away. "Hurry up and get to the point, we still have a schedule later."
Kim Jennie's heart sank. Was she really going to be suspended? She didn't want to be suspended and looked at Kim Ji-soo with a wronged expression.
"Jisoo! It's fine if we don't do extra practice, but there's no need to suspend me, right?"
"Zoe Senior suspended you, what does it have to do with me? Don't look at me like that."
"Show Ge! You with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how can you be so insidious..."
Kim Ji-soo interrupted her. "You're the leader, so it's you." Then she looked at Kim Jennie and said, "Jennie! After this comeback, you'll rest for a while."
Kim Jennie sighed heavily. "Alright!"
Adjusting her mood, she looked at Xu Zhiyou and cried, "Zoe Senior! If I flop, I'll cry three times a day, morning, noon, and night, just to annoy you."
Xu Zhiyou's mouth twitched. "Dumpling Ni! I have to say, you know how to threaten people, but never threaten men like that. I'm afraid it'll be like throwing a meat bun at a dog."
Kim Ji-soo was amused for a moment and immediately reached out to pinch her. "I think Zoe Senior is right, no random pouting."
Park Chaeyoung and Lisa also wanted to reach out, but Kim Jennie glared at them, and they sheepishly pulled their hands back, fearing a beating if they didn't.
Negotiations complete, she grabbed Park Chaeyoung with her left hand and Lisa with her right and started walking out. "Let's go!" At the door, as they parted, she said to them, "Meet at the company practice room tonight."
Kim Ji-soo heard that she wasn't called and anxiously asked, "What about me?"
"Your special training plan needs to be revised. Rest tonight, and we'll talk after I find you a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. You two Unnie line are weaker than the other, it's frustrating!"
"Uh???"
Kim Ji-soo wanted to scold her a couple of times to vent, but Kim Jennie stopped her. She was afraid her eldest Unnie would completely lose it if she argued with Xu Zhiyou.
"Hahaha! I can't say for other aspects, but in terms of physical fitness, Lisa and I are the strongest."
"Oh, please! You're not much better. Lack of sleep, excessive dieting, plus overwork, but you two never listen..."
Park Chaeyoung quickly admitted defeat, fearing she would also be suspended. "My mistake, my mistake! I shouldn't have spoken out."
Lisa secretly rejoiced that Park Chaeyoung's mouth was faster than hers, otherwise she would have been the one getting scolded.
"I'm leaving. Remember to call me if anything comes up. See you at the practice room tonight." She found her Kawasaki, twisted the throttle, and headed to YG Entertainment.
After parking her car, she walked straight to the production studio. Idols and artists she passed all bowed to her. A closer look would reveal a hint of respect in their eyes.
Xu Zhiyou also nodded and smiled in response. Only after she disappeared down the corridor did whispers erupt behind her.
"Zoe Senior is too cool. Even those who debuted before her bow to her."
"When did you come to YG Entertainment as a trainee?"
"Senior! I've been with the company for two months."
"No wonder! It's normal for you not to understand, but anyone who has ever caused her trouble has been beaten into the hospital. Because of that, bullying in the company has significantly decreased."
"But isn't fighting forbidden? Doesn't the company care?"
"One director tried to intervene. She pinned him to the ground and punched him for over ten minutes, and no one dared to stop her."
"Since she's so violent, why aren't you all afraid of her?"
"Because that director tried to proposition her, so he deserved the beating. Besides, Zoe Senior doesn't bully people, and she has excellent interpersonal skills."
...
Xu Zhiyou didn't know that she had become the focus of everyone's discussion as soon as she arrived at YG Entertainment, but she didn't care much, diligently revising Kim Ji-soo's special training plan.
She revised it until evening, deleting and re-editing, finally finishing half an hour before Park Chaeyoung and the others returned.
Park Chaeyoung pushed open the door and shouted with a raspy voice, "Dearest Zoe Senior, we're back! Have you eaten?"
"Do you want to go together?"
"Hehe! I knew it, I packed some for you." She took out a bento box from behind her back and handed it to her. "Eat! It's all your favorites."
Xu Zhiyou took it and started digging in. She and Lisa looked at the papers on the table, and their hearts warmed.
