65: Chapter 65 Random

In the corridors of SM Entertainment, the discussions had not yet dissipated.

Liu Zijun had just turned and taken a few steps when a heavy sound of footsteps came from behind him, accompanied by suppressed anger.

"Liu Zijun! Stop right there!"

The cold shout pierced through the crowd, causing the originally noisy corridor to fall silent instantly.

Everyone instinctively looked back, only to see Kim Young-min walking quickly with several company executives, his face so dark it looked like it could drip water.

Behind him followed Park Woo-sik from the Security Department, as well as the head of the Public Relations Department, each with a solemn expression, clearly thoroughly enraged by the scene just now.

Liu Zijun stopped and slowly turned around. There wasn't a ripple of emotion on his face, as if he didn't feel the anger radiating from the other party.

He watched the rapidly approaching Kim Young-min with flat, waveless eyes, as if looking at an insignificant person.

Kim Young-min walked up to him, his chest heaving violently, his voice trembling slightly with rage.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing?!"

"You are the company's security personnel, not an artist's private partner!

I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened last night.

Now, in the company corridor, in front of everyone, you're hugging Choi Sulli and Im Yoona. Do you want to ruin Girls Generation and f(x)?"

Kim Young-min's voice grew louder as he angrily scanned the surrounding staff and trainees, then cursed, "Do you know how badly this affects the company's image? Do you know how the fans will react when they see this?"

The head of the Public Relations Department also chimed in, his tone urgent: "Mr. Liu Zijun, you're being too impulsive! Photos and videos of you and Sulli-xi are already circulating online. Your behavior is practically overturning all the hard work of the company and these artists!"

Kim Young-min said, "The company has decided to fire you!"

Park Woo-sik stood to the side, his face full of difficulty. He wanted to say something but was stopped by a glare from Kim Young-min.

He knew that Kim Young-min was truly enraged this time. Liu Zijun's excessive intimacy with the artists had touched the company's bottom line.

Everyone around held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Choi Sulli's face was pale, and she instinctively wanted to step forward to explain, but was held back firmly by Victoria Song.

Im Yoona also clenched her fists but was held back by Kim Taeyeon. Her eyes were full of worry, but she also knew that stepping forward now would only make things worse.

Liu Zijun looked at Kim Young-min's furious state, a faint trace of mockery curling at the corner of his mouth.

He had never taken this security job seriously. Staying at SM Entertainment was merely for the convenience of protecting Choi Sulli.

Now that he was leaving The Peninsula, this job was dispensable.

"Whatever."

Just two short words were calmly spat out of his mouth, without a hint of apology or fear.

But these words were like a bucket of cold water splashed over Kim Young-min's head.

Kim Young-min was stunned, clearly not expecting Liu Zijun to react this way.

He thought that even if Liu Zijun had an unusual background, he would still consider the company's position and at least offer a fake apology, but he didn't expect the other party to be so brazen.

Kim Young-min laughed out of anger, pointing at Liu Zijun and saying, "Whatever? You think you can do whatever you want just because of your background? I'm telling you, in SM Entertainment, it's not your place to be insolent!"

"From now on, you're fired! No matter who is behind you, you don't need to come to this job ever again!

If you approach any of the company's artists again in the future, we will file a harassment lawsuit against you!"

Kim Young-min's words were like a thunderbolt exploding in the corridor.

Everyone was a bit dazed; no one expected Kim Young-min to be so decisive as to fire him directly.

Especially the warning about the lawsuit caused the faces of Choi Sulli and Im Yoona to change.

Park Woo-sik's expression also changed. Just as he was about to speak up to dissuade him, he was glared at fiercely by Kim Young-min and could only helplessly close his mouth.

Liu Zijun didn't care at all; whether he was fired or not had no impact on him.

"Heh... is that so?"

Then he gave Choi Sulli and the others a smile, not even sparing another glance at Kim Young-min, and turned to continue leaving.

Kim Young-min, seeing his indifferent attitude, was even more incensed.

In this country with its perverted senior-junior system,

Liu Zijun's lack of respect for the company boss really made him very unhappy!

"Liu Zijun, you want to leave? You think this is over?

We will pursue the losses you've caused the company to the very end!

And Choi Sulli and Im Yoona!"

Suddenly, his gaze turned to the two girls standing in the crowd, and he said in a cold tone, "You two, come to my office immediately after today's schedule is over! I want to ask you exactly what is going on!"

"Even if you're friends, you should know your boundaries, shouldn't you?"

Hearing this, Choi Sulli's body trembled slightly. Panic and grievance flashed in her eyes, but she raised her head and looked at Kim Young-min stubbornly.

Don't be fooled by her usual delicate and weak appearance; when it came to something she had set her mind on, she was firmer than anyone!

Not to mention, this was related to her Joon oppa!

If Victoria Song and Krystal Jung hadn't been holding her back, she might have spoken her mind directly!

Im Yoona also pursed her lips, her face somewhat pale.

But she also stubbornly raised her head and met Kim Young-min's gaze without backing down.

Kim Young-min was so angry his lungs were about to burst. He asked gloomily, "Are you all going to rebel, is that it?"

Liu Zijun, who was about to leave, paused his steps again upon hearing this.

He turned his head, his gaze falling on Kim Young-min. His eyes instantly turned cold, and a hidden killing intent flashed for a moment.

Liu Zijun's voice wasn't loud, but it carried intense pressure as he said, "They didn't do anything wrong. Everything has nothing to do with them.

If the company wants to pursue responsibility, you can come directly to me.

Heh...

Besides, you wouldn't dare touch them!

Remember! Those are my words!"

After speaking, he didn't stay any longer and walked towards the elevator at the end of the corridor.

Kim Young-min watched his receding back, his chest still heaving, yet he inexplicably didn't dare to chase after him again.

Seeing that he had lost face!

He roared at everyone watching, "What are you all looking at! Is your work finished?

From now on, no one is allowed to spread word of what happened here today! Anyone who dares to say a word will be packed off and fired just the same!"

Everyone was so frightened they quickly lowered their heads and dispersed; no one dared to say another word.

Choi Sulli watched Liu Zijun's figure disappear into the elevator, and her tears finally couldn't help but fall. However, she was held tightly by Victoria Song and could only sob helplessly where she stood.

Im Yoona bit her lip hard, clutching the note tightly, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Jessica Jung and the others looked at Im Yoona like this, with many questions in their hearts, but they knew now was not the time to ask.

What exactly was the relationship between their second maknae and that Liu Zijun? It didn't seem as simple as just being friends!

But wasn't Liu Zijun Choi Sulli's boyfriend?

They couldn't figure it out and could only ask at a more suitable time.
