Chapter Twenty-Four: Stress is High

er, shaking the camera a few times.Next, Ji Jingyuan and Kim Jun-myeon, who had just bought meat and vegetables, met Park Chan-hyeok. The three of them finished their mission and didn't go back direct..."Ooh…" Hearing Wu Shixun's complaint, Jiang Seqi looked at Ji Jingyuan with curious eyes and asked, "I heard about this, was it really a beating"At this time, three plates of rice were brought up. The three picked up their utensils and chatted as they ate:“He was knocked out immediately, it wasn't that bad, the process was so fast he probably didn't even react..." 。”Pool Jingyuan recalled and continued the previous topic: “'Nepotism' is of course a problem, it's clear. But then”“At first, many people scolded you, but later it gradually changed into envy and jealousy. Everyone wanted to be like you. After your debut video was released, your popularity soared even more so.” 。“Ginger Shiqi thought for a moment, and then said with an envious tone:" 。"Did you scold her back then, Sheqi" Chi Jingyuan suddenly asked. 。"I... um... I wouldn't say I cursed, but I did say a few sour words... After all, debuting like that out of nowhere is truly infuriatingly enviable." 。Ginger Shiqi showed an embarrassed expression, but she quickly said it calmly. 。“Oh, who isn't It's too much to debut right after entering the company. At least practice for a few months Who can debut without ever being a trainee for a day” Wu Se-hun immediately stood by Kim Se-ki's side, voicing his complaint: “I became a trainee for 4 years to have this opportunity, and Se-ki has been practicing for 5 years with no sign of debuting yet.” 。"Mi a na " 。"Qi Jingyuan made an apologetic expression, and the feeling in his heart eased a bit." 。"

“Oh, please don't bring that up

" 。This topic visibly depressed Ginger She Qi. 。"Are the trainees under a lot of pressure" Ji Jingyuan asked with concern. 。"Ani, practicing isn't tiring... I can't say it's not tiring, but I'm already used to it. 。The main reason is that the debut date is far away, and I don't know if I can continue on this path. Practicing without a visible goal puts a lot of pressure on me. 。"Jiang Shubi sighed, took a sip of water and continued, “Although the company's practice room supervisor often encourages and praises us, saying things like 'you will definitely have a chance to debut' , but when you hear it too much, it doesn’t really have much effect. Now, many people are still persisting. Besides hoping for a debut, there are also quite a few who don't know what else to do if they don't become trainees." 。"After all, I've been practicing for so many years, I really don't want to give up" 。Jiang Shiqi's emotions were clearly visible, and Wu Shixun beside her also sighed in empathy. 。

Chi Jingyuan wanted to comfort them, but he had never experienced this kind of thing before and couldn't understand the immense pressure that came with having no hope of debuting.

He could only offer his understanding, but he couldn't truly empathize. 。Consider this, he didn't say anything comforting. Even if his words of comfort were genuine, coming from someone in his parachuted position, they would sound like mockery to anyone who heard them. 。"Still changing the subject: "How did you two meet Aren't you...exes"

"Ah ni oh" 。“Jiang Seqi was pulled out of her dejected mood by Chi Jingyuan’s question. She shook her head and denied, “We’ve all been trainees for a long time, right Before, Shixun often came to the female practice room…”

She glanced at Wu Shixun with disdain, while Wu Shixun pretended not to see it. 。Later on, they got to know each other and became close friends after the same year. They could help each other when they encountered something. 。She continued. 。"Help... with a fight" Chi Jingyuan asked curiously. 。"

Well, I suppose so, but it's not quite that simple.

" 。"Wu Shixun waved his hand: "Jingyuan, you haven't experienced being a trainee, so you..." 。Actually, the competition among trainees is really fierce. They are very competitive and besides some true friends, they will use many underhanded tactics. 。"And there are many groups, senior members like to instruct and bully juniors. Local trainees dislike those from other places, and domestic trainees exclude foreign ones." 。In the past few years, among the boys, there have been several fights just because of bullying. 。The female trainees are way more complicated than the male ones, you wouldn't believe it. It's super common for senior female trainees to bully their juniors. 。"Has Shiqi ever experienced this"

"Sigh, when I first joined the company, I encountered quite a lot. Several seniors often scolded me inexplicably and instructed me to do many things. Looking back now, it was really hard."

“It's much better now compared to before. Back then, older and more senior female trainees either debuted successfully or left the training system altogether. Now that I'm a senior trainee myself, such situations have become less common. Although competition is still fierce." 。Now we are also seniors. 。Wu Shih-hsien nodded in agreement. 。We've made it. 。It really is quite hard. 。"Chi Jingyuan let out a long sigh." 。He has been in the company for over a month. Although he spends most of his time practicing and hasn't had much contact, he has heard quite a bit from the members during their conversations and knows that this is not a simple industry. 。"You guys aren't debuting soon, right I just heard from Sehun that you, Kyungwon, are also a 94-liner, so I thought about getting to know you. If there’s a chance, I’d like for my senior who’s debuted to take care of me a little, hehehehe…" Jeon Seyeon said, laughing at the end. 。When Ginger Shiqi smiled, her eyes also crinkled together, forming a line. 。The cheekbones are a bit high, pushing the flesh outward, revealing pearly white teeth in neat rows. Overall, it gives off a very approachable vibe. 。A senior trainee who has practiced for many years should be smarter, but Ji Jingyuan thinks she smiles quite naively no matter how he looks at her. 。"Aniyo, actually Seqi is my senior." 。“Of course, there's no problem. We are all the same age and close friends. Feel free to contact me if you need any help,” said Chi Jingyuan with a smile. 。Though Jingyuan just joined the company recently, he already has a lot of clout with the higher-ups. 。You didn't see that our manager room head always smiles at him, Teacher Lee Soo Man sees him like Santa Claus, and calls him over to chat every other day. Ah Jia is also a debut member, but the gap between them is really too big. 。After Wu Shixun just agreed and praised a few words, his tone turned envious. 。"Um... Mian!" Chi Jingyuan patted his shoulder and apologized in a tone devoid of sincerity. 。After finishing his sentence, he took out his phone and asked, “Then Shiqi, what’s your number”

"Um, my number is..." Jiang Shiqi hurriedly gave it to him. 。They exchanged contact information, the atmosphere became a little closer, and they chatted about some things among trainees. That's how the meal ended. 。

…………

The next day, after practicing, Park Bo-gum drove to pick up Ji Chang-wook back home. However, this time neither his elder sister nor younger brother was at the Han peninsula. His elder sister had gone to America, while his younger brother went to Japan.

Both were in senior positions at internet companies and on the fast track. Work was incredibly busy for both of them. 。Chi Jingyuan also doesn't want to add to their burden because of himself. 。After going home to take a shower, I casually watched some TV for a while. I called my parents and siblings individually and chatted about recent events before resting. 。
