195: First photo signature

Aria understood her reasoning. She even let her hold the shares, and she knew Xu Zhiyou's personality very well.

It wasn't surprising for her to state this reason: "Alright, I'll have someone handle it shortly. Remember to come find me early."

"I promise." After hanging up the phone, she saw the six women looking at her with surprised expressions. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing." After a while, Ham Eun-jung's phone rang. Seeing it was her President Nim, she said, "President Nim, you're looking for me..."

"Eun-jung! The company has agreed to your demands. Do you have time now to come back and complete the procedures?"

"Huh???"

The six women clearly heard it. They might have only been surprised a moment ago, but now seeing the result, they were completely shocked by the speed.

"Yes! We'll be right there." Ham Eun-jung hung up the phone and looked at Xu Zhiyou: "Zoe, who exactly are you?"

"That was my senior sister just now. You're lucky, too. Her family has business dealings with the CJ Group; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to help."

Ham Eun-jung gave a look that said, 'Do you really expect me to believe that?', and the others' expressions were much the same. However, no one pressed further; prying into someone's background is very impolite.

Park Jiyeon snapped out of her shock and hugged her tightly: "Zoe, kamsahamnida! Don't worry, I'll definitely beat Suzy until she can't take care of herself."

"Hey! I was waiting for you to say that. When you beat her, don't mention me at all, and also help me talk to IU Senior."

"Lee Ji-eun or Little Li is fine, why call her Senior? And if she dares to get angry, I'll beat her into submission myself."

"Then her collaboration with my Chaeyoung depends on you to arrange it."

Park Jiyeon patted her chest and promised: "Leave it to me. If she refuses to cooperate, I'll tie her up and take her to YG Entertainment."

Xu Zhiyou was particularly pleased right now. Normally, she definitely wouldn't have helped, but Park Jiyeon's personality was so similar to hers.

If you don't like it, do it. If you can't beat them, concede. The main thing is to be flexible and, most importantly, live a straightforward life.

"We start filming our group reality show tomorrow. Chaeyoung is available anytime; just coordinate with her schedule."

"OK! No problem."

Park Jiyeon was now completely at Xu Zhiyou's beck and call. She had been planning to give up on the T-ara brand, but then things took an unexpected turn.

"What are your plans after you get the T-ara brand?"

Ham Eun-jung said, "We hadn't thought about it. After all, we were almost giving up. We didn't expect things to turn around."

"Then you all should think carefully. If you want to make a comeback, I'll write a title track for you. Anyway, we'll be filming a group reality show for the next few months."

Help someone all the way, see them through to the end. Pull Park Jiyeon into her camp, so in the future, if she's unhappy with Bae Suzy, she can just beat her up. How dare she plot against her like that?

The six women looked at each other, their minds a mess. Just a moment ago, they felt their lives were bleak, but unexpectedly, things had taken a turn for the better.

Their emotions were like a rollercoaster; they didn't have the time to think so much. If their minds were that sharp, they wouldn't have been exploited so badly by the company.

"Hey! What are you spacing out for?"

"Uh!" Park Hyo-min snapped back to reality. "The four of us still have a few months left on our contracts. We can't do much during this time, so there's no rush."

"That's right!" Park Jiyeon also reacted. "We still have a few months until our contracts expire. Let's find an agency first."

"Mhm mhm!" The other five also agreed unanimously.

She did want the six of them to establish an entertainment company. She would eventually leave anyway, and it would be perfect to bring the six under her company.

But after thinking about it, she decided against it. Compared to the company her senior sister established, the little money an entertainment company earns is not only troublesome but also less, not worth it.

"Then you all make your own arrangements." She checked the time. "Go take care of your business. We'll contact via KKT."

"No problem." The six of them indeed had things to do now, so they didn't refuse.

Xu Zhiyou, bored, went to S.M. Entertainment again. She hoped to run into Lim Yoona and Bae Joo-hyun, but unfortunately, she didn't meet either of them.

"Never mind, I'll try another day." She dialed Kim Ji-soo's number, and it took a while for her to answer. "Zoe, where did you go?"

"I'm at the S.M. Entertainment entrance. Are you still in the practice room?"

"Yes, why did you run to S.M. Entertainment to look for trouble!"

"Yah! Show Ge, are you asking for a beating?"

"What, are you going to bite me?" Through the phone, Kim Ji-soo wasn't intimidated by her at all. At worst, she'd just concede when she got back.

"Oh, wow, look at you being so brave. You just wait for me." She hung up and rode towards YG Entertainment.

Kim Ji-soo was casually scrolling through her phone. Someone had posted a photo of someone suspected to be Xu Zhiyou eating on Hongdae Street, and Kim Ji-soo was amused by Xu Zhiyou's actions.

No disguise at all, just directly plunging into a crowd of people. If Leah knew about this, she'd probably call her 'ancestor' a few times again.

"This ordinary person really looks like Zoe, even her hair is styled the same. Verdict: definitely a die-hard fan."

"Above, is there a possibility that she IS Zoe herself, you idiots?"

"Impossible, how could a big celebrity come out to eat so openly, without even a single bodyguard?"

"Why bring bodyguards to eat? This is called 'hiding in plain sight,' don't you know?" She uploaded a picture of herself sitting in the plaza watching a performance.

"See? She's disguised herself, and who told you that bodyguards have to stick to you? She's not the president."

"That makes sense! Aish, what did I miss?"

Shin Hye-seon looked at the netizens' analysis with a frantic expression. That picture was taken by her, and she was monitoring the forum post.

"Above, you're the one who took the photo, right? Congratulations, you successfully brushed past Zoe. (Insidious.JPG)"

"Pfft hahaha! I looked at her post, 'Met a level 10 Zoe die-hard fan, a fan cosplaying as an idol,' turns out it was the person herself. Hahahaha~~"

"The original poster is in self-isolation, shut up already, can't you see they've gone offline?"

"If it were me, I'd be in self-isolation too. What a great opportunity, maybe even get a joint photo, but the original poster mistook her for an ordinary fan. Hahahaha~~"

The server who attended to Xu Zhiyou uploaded a photo with Xu Zhiyou, along with an autograph: "I recognized her! Zoe said there's a reward. Hehe~"

"Aish, an autographed photo! You're so lucky, how did you get an autographed photo?"

"I'm insanely jealous! This might be Zoe's first autographed photo with a fan. (Jealous.jpg)"

"The original poster will probably go crazy seeing this. But, honestly, Zoe is such a beautiful woman, yet no one recognized her."

"Could she be a 'photo killer,' the kind who doesn't look good in person?"

"I'm really rolling my eyes at you, you big mouth. Why don't you look at the 'death angles' from previous passersby, or at least look at the joint photo above. If you don't use your eyes, donate them."

"Sister, you really need to wash your eyes. Anyone who's seen her in person calls her K-pop's NO.1 visual. Only you are so 'wise,' everyone else is blind, right?"
