Chapter Sixty-One: Can't Help
to Ji Kyeong-won." 。Chi Jingyuan nodded, stood up, and left the practice room.Please come in. 。"Chi Jingyuan lightly knocked on the general manager's office door, and Li Xiuman's voice came immediatel...As the members of Girls' Generation grow older, their individual lives become increasingly complex. In recent years, unless there is a comeback or group activity, most of them rarely live in the dormitory anymore and mostly reside in their own properties.
After debuting for so many years, the members are all rich to a considerable degree. Almost all of them have bought property in Seoul, either to live in themselves or as an investment.
As Girls' Generation’s debut date grew further in the past, the company’s management over them loosened. Basically, recently the company hasn’t managed their private lives much at all.
Especially today, since they have been debuting for six years, next year will be their contract year. ** definitely wants all the members to renew their contracts, after all, Girls' Generation is a golden signboard.
To renew the contract, more concessions are needed in certain areas. Besides gradually opening up personal data, relaxing management of private life is also a key focus.
Before a few days, Girls' Generation had reunited to record their Japanese single "Galaxy Supernova." After a few days of rest time, the members went their separate ways.
But in a few days, there will be promotional events to attend. Sunny is too lazy to travel back and forth, so she has been staying in the dormitory these days. Fortunately, she has Kim Taeyeon as her partner.
But today Taeyeon had an appointment to go out, leaving the large dormitory with just her. She was languidly sprawled on the sofa watching TV.
She is also used to being alone and quite enjoys it.
But just as she was about to order takeout to fill her stomach, the dormitory door opened, and the sound of high heels came in. She stopped at the door, changed her shoes, and walked in.
Sunny glanced at the newcomer, it was Jung Soo Yeon.
After a quick glance, she looked back at her phone, selecting takeout while asking:
"How did you get back so soon Didn't you go out to talk things over with your so-called good friend"
"Well, that's done... Have you eaten dinner Want to go out for a meal together"
Jeon Somi was wearing a beautiful light yellow dress, a light-colored sunhat on her head, a designer bag on her back, and well-applied makeup. She looked like she had just come back from a photoshoot.
She looked at Sunny on the sofa, seeming a little hesitant, and issued an invitation.
"Tch, you don't even look like you want to take me out to dinner... Just spit it out if there's something you want."
Sunny gave her a glance, curled his lip in disdain, muttered a sarcastic remark, and continued to eat his takeout.
She knows this teammate who she's been with for so many years too well. At a glance, it's clear she has something to ask her, but she seems a bit reluctant to do so.
"I... I heard that you're close friends with EXO's Yuan, which is Park Ji-won, right"
After a few seconds of silence, Jung Soo-yeon walked over and sat down on the other end of the sofa. She asked a question with her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on the television.
"Haven't you known this already What happened to Jingyuan"
When Sunny heard the name Ji-seong, her attention was drawn over, and her eyes drifted to Jung Soo-yeon.
Have you heard of the TV drama "The Heirs"
"Inside, I heard from a friend that it's supposed to be Kim Eun-sook's new work, SBS's key production for the second half of the year. What's wrong Does he have something to do with it"
I received the news that Ji Jingyuan replaced the originally chosen male lead, Lee Min Ho, and became the new male lead. Apparently, both SBS TV and the production team are very optimistic about him.
Jeong Seoyeon pulled out the message she had received recently, her tone unsure if it was happiness or sadness.
Lee Min Ho and she are quite familiar with each other because they have mutual acquaintances. They've even had dinner together a few times before.
I had met Ji Jingyuan a few times before, and I remembered him well, although I wasn't familiar with him. I just knew that he was close to several members of the group.
"Really Then congratulations to him, the kid has only been out for less than two years and his acting career is going smoother and smoother... Oh my goodness, it's time to send a support truck again. I have to find a chance to get it back later."
Sunny's face lit up when she heard the news, but the expression quickly faded, replaced by a lazy and discontented muttering. She looked like she was about to spend a lot of money again.
She wasn't really surprised that Ji Chang Wook could replace Lee Min Ho. She had long seen that this kid wasn't simple, and her uncle Li Xiuman also mentioned him a few times. She didn't know the details, but she had a general understanding.
"Have you heard that Chi Jingyuan has a lot of connections at SBS and the production team "
Jung Soo-yeon tentatively asked a question.
I don't know, what's going on. What's the subject
“You… that’s how it is. Soo-jeong was also competing for a major role in “The Heirs,” probably the third female lead. But since it’s a script by Kim Eun-sook, the competition is especially fierce. There are several professional actors vying for the role, and it hasn’t been decided yet. Recently, I heard that the other contenders have made significant progress, and Soo-jeong might not get chosen…”
"The other side's economic companies all have a wide network of industry contacts, and as you know, our company is somewhat weak in this area... Everyone is very optimistic about this drama, it's a great opportunity for Soo-jeong..."
"So I heard that Ki-gyeong is well-connected over there, and I wanted to ask you if you could say a few words to him for Soo-jeong. Could you perhaps ask him to speak up for her and get her the role"
After circling around for a while, Jung Soo-yeon finally explained her purpose.
She learned about Park Ji-sung replacing Lee Min Ho and heard some rumors, both true and false, from inside sources. After that, she wanted Sunny to help her get the role for her sister, Jung Soo-jung.
She seemed to be uncomfortable asking for help, talking around the subject and keeping her eyes on the TV until finally looking in Sunny's direction.
“…………”
After listening, Sunny slightly raised her eyes in thought. However, she quickly gave a crisp reply: “Can't help.”
"Why If Ji Jingyuan can replace Lee Min Ho, it means he has deep connections there, and he's already confirmed as the male lead. He could do a lot to help Soojung by saying a few words."
As soon as Sunny refused, Jung Show Yeon immediately became displeased, frowning and looking over with an urgent tone.
"Can you think about this carefully Jingyuan got his role by pushing others out. There must be people in the crew who are unhappy about this. He's not very experienced, so it's really not appropriate for him to have a say in casting other roles right now."
"Sunny also frowned, looking straight into the other person's eyes without backing down: "As far as I know, Jingyuan and Xiucjing aren't familiar at all. Besides, this kind of thing is something that requires the company's effort. If the company can't even handle it, finding an idol to do it seems a bit misplaced..."
"Besides, I don't know the specific situation or whether he actually has the right to speak. Wouldn't it be a burden on him to ask for his help at this time"
"Aren't you close to him"
Zheng Xiu-yeon spoke sharply, appearing somewhat angry.
That's why it's hard to say, because it's family.
Sunny glanced at the other person again, her gaze returning to her phone. She replied in a weary tone.
"You………Nevermind, I'll go find someone else to talk to."
Jung Soo Yeon felt like she was about to lash out, but she held back. She glanced at Sunny's face and, in a fit of anger, got up and walked outside.
Just like Sunny knew her, she also knew Sunny. Seeing him like this, she knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade him.
Jung Soo Yeon strode out, carrying a bag and wearing high heels that clicked on the floor. She came and went with great haste.
"Oh, even though I'm so old now, my temper is still the same."
She glanced in the direction Zheng Xiuyeon left, Sunny sighed and shook her head, looking worried for the other party. A few seconds later, her attention returned to her phone, her hand constantly sliding across the screen:
