208: 猹 in the melon field

This delicate singing style is actually more suited to Park Chaeyoung's sweet voice; Lee Chae-rin doesn't believe she doesn't know that.

"She's collaborating with IU Senior, and you're releasing a song with Dara Unnie, so I'll just feature."

"Why?" Park Sandara heard this and immediately grabbed her by the neck, "Didn't we agree? You're ditching me again."

"Let go."

"No." Park Sandara increased her grip, "Give me a reason, or I'll choke you to death."

"I have to film a group reality show; I don't have time for music shows."

"But Kim Ji-soo is still Inkigayo's MC, how does she have time? That reason doesn't hold up."

"I'm lazy, alright?" Xu Zhiyou admitted frankly.

She had long passed the novelty of being an idol and couldn't find any interest in music shows.

"No, you have to go, or I'm not done with you." Park Sandara was determined to cure her laziness.

"I'm telling you, are you stupid? Go find Park Bom Unnie and Minzy Unnie, the four of you can do a small..."

"Only you are smart. Is the CEO just sitting around? Don't you know how much he values your songs?"

"Uh!" Xu Zhiyou had forgotten about Yang Hyun-suk, "Then, secretly..."

"Zoe, are you an idiot?" Kim Ji-soo looked at her with an expression like she was looking at a fool. She really thought everyone was like her, able to be so reckless.

"Show Ge, whose side are you on? If I go to music shows, what about the group reality show?"

"Haha! It's like I don't have to be an MC for Inkigayo just because we're filming a group reality show. They're all excuses."

"Exactly." Kim Jennie chimed in, "Your excuses only fool outsiders. Isn't Chaeyoung also collaborating with IU Senior? You're just lazy."

"Are you two looking to die? Do you even consider me your leader? You're siding with outsiders, aren't you!"

Lisa also supported her two older sisters: "Zoe, I think you should move a bit. You're almost rusty."

Park Sandara let go: "Even your internal staff think you can't ditch me."

What else could Xu Zhiyou do? If she refused again, she was afraid Park Sandara would annoy her to death: "I'll go, alright?"

"Then I don't need to. You can completely make up for Dara Unnie's shortcomings." Lee Chae-rin said when she saw that she was going to participate.

"If you have time, let's do it together. Dara Unnie can handle the fresh and sweet parts, your tension is quite strong, so you can handle the emotional parts, and I'll fill in the rest."

"You can handle it yourself. I'm not necessary. Let's find another opportunity to collaborate next time."

"That's not the same. How can a three-person harmony be the same as a two-person one? Of course, if you can get Park Bom..."

"Stop. I don't have that ability. They might still resent me now."

"Resent you?" Xu Zhiyou instantly transformed into a curious spectator in the melon patch, smelling gossip.

Kim Ji-soo pulled her back, saying with disdain: "Zoe, if you eat too much gossip, you might get diarrhea."

Lee Chae-rin was also speechless by her gossiping look: "Zoe, you don't mean you don't know how we disbanded, do you!"

"I do. You were doing schedules in Europe, and the group disbanded inexplicably."

"Dara Unnie and the others also found out about their disbandment online, and because of this, she even called me and cried for a long time."

Park Sandara quickly denied: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."

Lee Chae-rin glanced at Park Sandara and nodded silently: "I don't doubt that point."

"Yah!"

"Unnie, it's not a big deal. Don't mention you; even I cried for a long time. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Uh!!!"

"We're getting off-topic." Xu Zhiyou was still thinking about gossip and brought the conversation back, "So why does Park Bom Unnie resent you?"

"She thought I kept the disbandment a secret from them. Actually, the CEO really didn't inform me. I had a huge fight with the CEO because of this."

"I know about that." Thinking of the Park Bom she knew, "But that shouldn't be the case. Park Bom Unnie isn't that petty."

Park Sandara also looked at her suspiciously: "Chaeyoung, did you not contact them proactively?"

"I didn't know what to say. The group just disbanded like that, so I just..."

"Case closed." Park Sandara rolled her eyes at her, "Your mouth is only good for eating; it's useless for anything else."

"But why didn't they ask me about the group? There wasn't even a single message."

"Why would they ask you? You don't really think the group leader can influence the company's decisions, do you?"

"Uh!!!" Lee Chae-rin only now realized she had fallen into a cognitive bias.

"Right! The leaders at YG are often just scapegoats. We all know you had it tough, so how could we bother you even more?"

Xu Zhiyou raised her hand: "Um, Dara Unnie, that's a bit presumptuous. I'm also a leader."

"It's fine. You're better than Chaeyoung. At least the CEO always asks for your opinion every time he makes a decision."

"Haha, that's all because of the songs I've given them, always talking about dedication, but not even willing to feed me a blade of grass."

"Even cattle and horses get night fodder. I'm worse than cattle and horses. With a company like this, how can I be dedicated? Tsk~"

The two thought of Park Bom leaving the company: "Yes, if you're not valuable, you're discarded."

"Let's not talk about these sad things. When Dumpling Ni's contract expires, let her open an entertainment company, and we'll follow her."

Kim Jennie, who was in the middle of her reflections, was suddenly cued and looked at Xu Zhiyou with a blank expression: "What's up?"

"You open an entertainment company, and then we'll follow you, CEO Kim."

"Forget it, it's tiring. I'll just follow you. Remember to help me break into America. That's the only thought this old lady has left."

She also learned from Lisa to accept reality. Working hard for half a year was not as good as Xu Zhiyou spacing out for ten minutes. She felt very disheartened.

Seeing her like this, Xu Zhiyou teased: "Oh, wasn't CEO Kim trying to recruit me back then?"

Kim Jennie poked Kim Ji-soo: "Jisoo, she's calling you."

"Heh!" Kim Ji-soo rolled her eyes at her, "Alright, if there's nothing else, let's go home. Chaeyoung left a long time ago."

Park Sandara looked at Lee Chae-rin: "Chaeyoung, you take Kim Ji-soo and them back. Zoe and I will go back to the company to produce the song."

"I want to go too." Lisa quickly raised her hand. Going back was too boring; it was more fun to be with Xu Zhiyou.

"Then let's go together. It won't take much time." Kim Ji-soo knew Xu Zhiyou's speed.

"Okay." Park Sandara, seeing them agree, pulled Xu Zhiyou and walked out, "Zoe, let me tell you..."

Shortly after Park Chaeyoung got home, Lim Yoona came running in, panting.

"Yoona Senior..."

Lim Yoona interrupted her: "I told you to call me Unnie. Why are you calling me Senior again? Change it back."

"Yes, Yoona Unnie, Zoe isn't back yet. We might have to wait a while."

"Then let's wait." She walked straight into the living room, "Don't tell her I'm here."

"Yes!" Park Chaeyoung suddenly regretted coming back early. She wasn't very good at socializing; it was quite awkward.

Fortunately, Lim Yoona was very sociable and kept the atmosphere very well throughout, for about two hours.

Xu Zhiyou and the others finally returned. Park Chaeyoung was truly amazed; even turtles crawled faster than them.
