178: Called to PUA again

Kim Ji-soo glanced at Park Chaeyoung, who was covering her face: "Chaeyoung! We couldn't stop it this time, and besides, Lee Seungri wouldn't dare to expose it, so it's fine."

"But an idol fighting, she..."

"As long as the work is good and there's a good reason for it, nothing will happen. Xu Zhiyou sells works, which is different from us."

"Sigh! Alright." What else could Park Chaeyoung do? She looked up at Xu Zhiyou, "Zoe! Tell me before you make a move, and I'll be your bait."

Xu Zhiyou covered her forehead: "Chaeyoung! What's in that little head of yours?"

"I've sacrificed so much, remember to compensate me with dozens of songs... Ow!"

Kim Ji-soo couldn't bear it and flicked her forehead: "If you had eaten more dishes, you wouldn't be this drunk."

Park Chaeyoung, covering her head, looked at the two of them with a resentful expression: "Yah! You need a reason to fight; just charging in with your arms swinging, that's a brute!"

"Zoe asked me for a VIP card for half a day; do you think it was to sell?"

"Uh???" Park Chaeyoung felt like she had been foolish, "How about you add me too, and remember to compensate me then..."

Xu Zhiyou couldn't bear to look: "Show Ge, drag her out. I feel like if I say one more word to her, I'll have a brain stroke."

Kim Ji-soo also couldn't stand Park Chaeyoung's cheap act and walked straight out. At the door, she turned back and said: "Zoe! The flying needles are for your self-preservation; you can't just..."

"Araso! I'm a very kind person, don't worry!" She pushed Park Chaeyoung in front of Kim Ji-soo, "Take Chaeyoung with you." Then she slammed the door shut.

She sat back down, brandished the retractable baton, and looked at the buzzing, electrified stick. She then pulled out her original retractable baton from her lower back.

Comparing the two, she sighed: "Why didn't I think of adding magic damage to technology? What a blunder!" She threw away her own and put the electrified one back.

The flying needles were inconvenient to carry, so she put them in the drawer along with the slingshot.

Kim Jennie fell asleep on the bed shortly after. During the day, she had thought of uniting the three to stop Xu Zhiyou from fighting, but she woke up feeling like the sky had fallen.

At seven the next morning, she pulled Park Chaeyoung to sit on the living room sofa and was in an 'emo' state.

A while later, she asked again, "Chaeyoung! If I heard correctly, Jisoo agreed to let Zoe fight?"

"Jennie-oni! You've asked six times already. Really, you didn't hear wrong." If Park Chaeyoung hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed her eldest sister would be so outrageous.

Kim Jennie covered her face, then lowered her hands: "Why? Why has Jisoo become so outrageous? Doesn't she know the consequences of fighting?"

"She knows! Zoe always hated Lee Seungri; she'd feel sick just eating with him. If she got a chance, would she let it go?"

"Sigh!" She sighed, "Where's Jisoo? Is she still in her room?"

"She went to shoot a magazine cover."

"Sigh! Yesterday I was thinking of uniting the three of you to watch over her, but Jisoo immediately sided with her. Sigh~"

Park Chaeyoung raised her paw: "Me too!"

"What about you?"

"I'm also on Zoe's side; I hate Lee Seungri too."

Kim Jennie gave her a big eye-roll: "Go away! Your opinion isn't important."

Park Chaeyoung was extremely displeased, showing the same attitude as her eldest sister last night, not respecting her at all: "Why isn't my opinion important? I..."

Kim Jennie interrupted her: "We need to find a way to clean up after her. Hmm! That's it." After figuring it out, she looked at Park Chaeyoung, "Where did Zoe go?"

Park Chaeyoung's mouth twitched. It seemed that everything she had said, her Jennie-oni hadn't listened to a single word. It was so annoying.

She mumbled in a muffled voice: "I don't know."

Kim Jennie smacked her on the back of the head: "Talk sense, stop being dramatic. Where did she go?"

"Yah! Jennie-oni, I..."

"If you say another word, I'll keep hitting you. Let's see if your head is harder or my hand is."

Park Chaeyoung, covering the back of her head, moved far away from her and spoke properly: "She went to the company. President Nim is looking for her, but I don't know what for."

"Hmph! How much better would it have been if you had just said so? You had to throw a tantrum with me. You didn't learn anything from Lisa's fate last night."

...

"Zoe! Look at GD. Even if he does nothing now, his annual copyright fees are over 4 million RMB. Aren't you tempted?"

Xu Zhiyou was quite speechless. He wanted her to nurture other groups again, so she said bluntly: "President Nim, I'm not interested in money."

Yang Hyun-suk gave her a 'do I look like I believe you' expression, but Xu Zhiyou pretended not to see it. Her main principle was to be thick-skinned and just let things be.

After staring at each other for more than ten seconds, Yang Hyun-suk finally gave in and sighed: "Zoe! Just tell me what it takes for you to write a song for iKON?"

"President Nim, I've truly run out of inspiration; I can't write anything..."

Yang Hyun-suk covered his forehead: "Stop! Every time I bring this up, you run out of inspiration, you... *cough cough*" He spoke too quickly and choked on his saliva.

Xu Zhiyou quickly handed him a glass of water: "Here, here! President Nim! Have some water to calm down first, speak slowly, no rush."

Yang Hyun-suk took a few deep breaths and said directly: "If you just write one title track for iKON, I'll let all four of Kim Ji-soo and the others go solo. How about that?"

"Not how about that. The company has already decided to let them go solo; you're still trying to trick me."

Yang Hyun-suk didn't expect Xu Zhiyou to be so shrewd now: "Teddy and GD aren't here, and the company's other producers are too busy. iKON needs a title track, just this once, and I'll never bother you again."

Seeing Yang Hyun-suk like this, Xu Zhiyou knew she couldn't avoid it this time. Instead of arguing with her boss, it was better to seek benefits for herself.

Her biggest principle was having no principles; she acted on impulse. She put on a smiling face and looked at Yang Hyun-suk: "Then I want to form a band and debut."

"That's it? No problem! I agree. Who do you want to form a team with? I can recommend a few..."

"No, no, no! No need. I just want the other four members of BP. I'm not familiar with anyone else, and it would be awkward if I got rejected, haha!"

Yang Hyun-suk looked at her speechless: "Zoe! Are you serious when you say things like that? Who would dislike being your teammate?"

"Who knows? President Nim! Just tell me if it's possible?"

Yang Hyun-suk had also been in a band and understood the difference between idols and bands. Bands focus more on the music itself, while idols focus on artist packaging; they are completely different concepts.

"Are you sure the four of them can do it?" It wasn't surprising he asked, as he had trained all four of them.

Yang Hyun-suk was very clear about the four of them's abilities. He didn't think Kim Ji-soo and the others could handle being Xu Zhiyou's bandmates.

Xu Zhiyou assured him: "I can teach them. They also have to learn during recording."

"You see how capable you are, why don't you lead the next group? The more capable..."

"President Nim! Here you go again. Leading those four troublesome members of BP is already tiring enough. How could I have the energy to train trainees? Don't be silly, let's get back to the band topic. We're getting off track, haha!"
