179: Puff puff pierces my heart

Yang Hyun-suk was very helpless; after all, he was the boss of a listed company, but he had no way of dealing with Xu Zhiyou.

“You can do whatever you want with the band; the company won’t interfere, but when can you give me the songs?”

Xu Zhiyou thought of their group variety show and was afraid her President Nim would drag things out like she did, so she rubbed her hands and said mischievously, “Then, about the group variety show…”

Yang Hyun-suk glanced at her: “When you give me the songs, we’ll start filming. The villa is already prepared for you…”

With no more worries, Xu Zhiyou immediately made a decision: “Three days! Just three days. If I don’t give them to you by then, I’ll wash my hair while standing on my head.”

Seeing her expression, Yang Hyun-suk’s mouth twitched uncontrollably: “Just now you said you were creatively exhausted, and now one title track in three days? You’re really something.”

Xu Zhiyou’s skin was thick; she wouldn’t do anything without benefits. Finishing everything at once put her in a great mood.

She waved her hand casually and said, “Low-key! Low-key. Haha~”

Yang Hyun-suk covered his face: “Get out, you make me angry just looking at you.”

“Alright!” She scurried out.

On the way, she stopped by Bigbang’s exclusive practice room, but unfortunately, Lee Seungri wasn’t there. Otherwise, she would have found a secluded corner to beat him until he couldn’t take care of himself.

“Ah! What a pity.” She had just reached the company gate when she remembered she hadn’t asked about the solo debuts, so she ran back to the office. “President Nim! Busy, are we?”

Yang Hyun-suk saw it was Xu Zhiyou again: “Why are you back again?”

“Well, about Jisoo’s solo debuts, what date do you think would be good?”

“It will be sent to their managers then. You are responsible for the songs yourselves; the company is too busy.”

“Although the pressure is a bit much, gritting your teeth will still work…” Yang Hyun-suk threw the documents in his hand at her directly after hearing this. “Get out, get out, get out! I don’t want to hear your voice right now.”

Xu Zhiyou quickly picked up the documents and put them back on the table: “This time I’m really done. I’ll be going now; I still have to write songs.”

…

After returning home, she saw Park Chaeyoung wasn’t out for schedules: “Chaeyoung! Don’t you have any schedules? Still at home at this hour.”

Park Chaeyoung gave her a resentful look: “It’s all your fault for scaring Jennie-oni the night before last. She’s scared, what can I do?”

“Then you go, is it too late?”

“It’s too late. Jennie-oni asked for leave for me. How about it?”

“The company agreed to your solo debuts!”

“Really?”

“Do I need to lie to you? The company will notify your managers later.”

“Ah~~” After a scream, she hugged her face and gave her a series of mua~ mua~, “Zoe! I never thought I’d be able to solo a year after my debut. I, Park Chaeyoung, really followed the right person.”

“This is just the beginning. President Nim also agreed to our band…”

Park Chaeyoung’s heart skipped a beat: “Team up with whom?”

Xu Zhiyou glanced at her and said speechlessly, “Didn’t I already say? Of course, with you four. Did Show Ge slap you into amnesia?”

“Impossible, I understand President Nim. For an idol debut, he hesitated between me and Jisoo. How could forming a band be so easily agreed upon? Don’t joke!”

“He’s just messing with your minds. You can’t trust what the boss says, how many times do I have to tell you?”

“What are the conditions?”

“What conditions?”

“I mean, for us to form a band, what conditions did President Nim propose? If they’re outrageous, then forget it. I’m already very content; I can’t let you get into trouble.”

“Your solo debuts, forming a band, and adding the group variety show all together, I have to write a title track for IKON…”

Park Chaeyoung interrupted her: “Wait a minute! Are you crazy? Their leader has a history of XD. What if your Unnie finds out? No way.”

Xu Zhiyou patted her shoulder and said in an old-fashioned tone, “Ah! Chaeyoung! When you’re in the jianghu, you can’t help yourself…”

Park Chaeyoung glared at her and slapped her hand away: “Speak normally. I’ll talk to Jisoo and them, even if there’s no solo… Ouch~”

Park Chaeyoung covered her forehead and said angrily, “Why did you flick my forehead?”

“Teddy and GD aren’t here, I really can’t avoid it. I’ll just write a K-pop dance song. I have plenty of those, they’re not worth much.”

“Aish!” Park Chaeyoung felt like her heart was being repeatedly stabbed. “I shouldn’t have had any illusions about you. You’re practically inhumane. I…”

“Are you done talking?”

“Not done! Are you even human? Do you die if you don’t put me down every day?”

“Tch!” She turned her back and walked towards Kim Jennie’s room.

Park Chaeyoung gritted her teeth: “Where are you going? I’m feeling down. Can’t you consider my feelings? What if I get depressed?”

“Get the songs done, you can curse slowly. Also, if you haven’t gotten depressed after being at YG for so long, then you’ll be fine.”

“Five years at YG haven’t caused me as much harm as you have.”

“Didn’t I tell you to curse slowly? What else do you want? To beat me up?”

“Not that far!” She caught up in a few steps, linked her arm through hers, and said with a smile, “Just throw a dozen or so cheap songs at me, I’m not picky.”

“Turn left outside, there’s a garbage dump there. Jump in and talk to your kind…”

“Aish!” She kicked her butt, but Xu Zhiyou dodged it with a quick move and then flicked her forehead again. “Nice feel, haha!”

“Yah! I’m not convinced.”

“Who wants you to be convinced?” After not seeing Kim Jennie for a while, she pressed a palm to her forehead. “Where’s Dumpling Ni?”

“Eaten by a ghost.”

Xu Zhiyou pushed her aside, entered Kim Jennie’s room, went to the dusty production desk, and turned on the machine.

“Chaeyoung! What do you think Dumpling Ni was thinking? She can’t even write lyrics or compose, but she got such expensive equipment. I don’t even have this.”

“It’s not surprising. I almost bought one too.”

Park Chaeyoung was a big spender, especially when it came to music-related items. If she liked something, she’d find a way to get it.

Not buying it this time made Xu Zhiyou look at her with new respect, and she praised her: “Oh! You can control your shopping desires now, that’s quite good.”

Park Chaeyoung gave her a big eye-roll: “You’re thinking too much. I just didn’t have money in my pocket; I simply couldn’t afford it. We’ll talk when I have money.”

“Uh???” She was startled, then came back to her senses, looking at her, “I shouldn’t have had any expectations for you either. You’re still the same old stubborn self.”

Park Chaeyoung cupped her hands towards her: “The feeling is mutual! We’re both scum of society, so no one should look down on anyone. Hahahaha~”

“Get lost, you’re the scum.” After booting up, she sat down and started tinkering with the console. Park Chaeyoung pulled up a stool and sat quietly beside her, watching.

A moment later, Kim Jennie came back with some food and, seeing Xu Zhiyou writing songs, also came over: “What are you doing?”
