Chapter 148: Take Control of Your Own Destiny

xuan walked over with a bottle of mineral water and sat down about one meter away from Chi Jingyuan. She glanced at him and then twisted the cap to take a sip.When I met him at the KBS meeting this mo..."Is there anything wrong"

Yin Tae-min turned his head slightly, glancing at the side with the corners of his eyes. He looked at Zhao Chengyou and Jae-ho's manager, though he asked in a questioning tone, his voice was firm and unwavering, showing no intention of discussing anything further with them.

"We... " The agent seemed to want to say something more, but was stared down by the other party's gaze. He trembled and mechanically nodded in response.

He was just Dynabsp;'s manager, and he wasn't in any high positions within the company. When facing someone of Yunae-min's level, he couldn't really speak up. He had no other options besides agreeing.

"Since you've heard it, hurry up and take it away, it's really an eyesore."

Yin Tae-min frowned, glancing at his manager and Jae-ho. He waved his hand dismissively, as if swatting a fly.

The manager, assistant, and another member of duo hesitated for a second before coming together to carry Zaihao away. Where they took him for treatment remained unknown.

After the person was carried away, Zhao Chengyou quickly gestured with his eyes to the staff behind him, asking them to send someone to clean up here.

"Director Zhao," Yoon Tae-min's gaze shifted to Zhao Chengyu at that moment.

"You said so, Representative Yoon," Zhao Chengyou stood up straight, bowed, and performed a courtesy with practiced ease.

"This time, they probably won't be able to participate in the Song Battle. Just respond to the outside world according to what I just said. You can handle the specific details yourselves afterwards, right"

"Inside, of course, Yin's handling was very good."

"...." YTN nodded in satisfaction and took two steps back before suddenly turning around to say something to Zhao Chengyu with a hint of meaning: "By the way, I don't want to see that person lying on the ground again."

After that, ignoring Zhao Chengyou's repeated bow, Yin Taemin walked to Ji Jingyuan's face. He first glanced at Zheng Xiujing and Cui Xueli standing beside him, a hint of smile flashed in his eyes, then looked at the EXO members behind Ji Jingyuan and Li Chenghuan beside him, and asked: "Jingyuan ah, these are your members"

"Here, this is our EXO member, and this is our manager, Li Cheng Huan."

"Annyeonghaseyo, Yin dai biao ni."

Members bowed together. Yim Taemin managed a smile and nodded at them and Lee Seong-hwan.

Lee Seung-hwan was a little excited, and surprisingly, he felt honored because the other person had nodded. However, he knew very well that the other person was doing this for someone else's face, so he suppressed his urge to speak and just smiled quietly on the side.

"Jingyuan, what do you think of this approach"

"Of course, Tae Min's considerations are without issue." Ji Kyeong-won showed approval and respect, bowing slightly.

"Leave the rest for your agents to discuss with Zhao Chengyou. I won't be involved, but it definitely won't affect you guys..."

Yoon Taemin seems to be quite busy. He briefly said a couple of things and then patted Park Ji-won's shoulder before smiling and saying, "When you have some time, remember to call me. Hyung will take you out to play, just the two of us, no need for your brother, he's such a bother."

"Don't worry, I won't tell him." Chi Jingyuan nodded with a smile, looking very eager.

"Haha... I'm leaving now."

After saying goodbye, Yin Taemin left with several assistants and entourage in suits. The onlookers automatically parted to make way for a wide passage, and soon their backs disappeared from view.

After Yin Taemin left, all eyes turned to Ji Kyeong-won. Those eyes, filled with a multitude of emotions, pierced through his surroundings like arrows.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell upon the scene. No one spoke, only staring at each other in solemn silence.

"Let's go back first..."

Lee Seung-hwan only felt that this was not a place to stay for long. He immediately beckoned to the members and patted Ji Kyung-won, signaling them to return to the resting room first.

“…………”

Seeing Ji Chang Wook turn around to leave, Jung So Min couldn't help but extend her right hand, but quickly stopped it halfway in the air, as if she wanted to say something but held back.

Today's instigator, Cui Xueli, also had a complex expression, as if she wanted to ask something too.

Chi Jingyuan noticed the expressions of the two people, turned his head and waved his hand to signal them to speak later. Then, under the complex gazes of everyone, he was seen off as he left the backstage and returned to his dressing room.

After the main attraction left, the rest didn't stay long either. A few acquaintances exchanged glances and then their idols all returned to the dressing room.

But it was obvious that the extremely impactful plot just now had left everyone who witnessed it buzzing with excitement. The moment the door shut, every room erupted in a cacophony of chatter, filled with discussions and exclamations.

"Oppa, who was that Yutae Min just now He looked so amazing."

Issa's room, as soon as she walked in, she excitedly asked her manager.

Just now they heard the noise outside and all ran out to watch the commotion, the manager was also there watching beside them.

“I think I've heard of Representative Yin, but I don't know much about him specifically. But he must be very capable, otherwise Director Zhao wouldn't act like that. Based on the title, he should be the representative director of SBS…”

The agent recalled for a moment, saying somewhat uncertainly.

"The board member Isn't that a high-ranking official from the TV station They don't look very old, either."

The other two smacked their lips, a mixture of surprise and envy in their eyes.

"Of course, she's surnamed Yin, isn't she" The manager chuckled lightly, saying it as if it were obvious.

"That Yin representative and EXO's Yuan are so close, like that...Thinking back to what I just saw, I still can’t quite process it.”

"Or do you think that's why Park Jin-young pdni likes and values Yuan so much You wouldn't really think it's just because she's pretty, would you..."

The agent let out a scoff and shook his head.

Of course, several members of I-Ssa wouldn't be so naive, after all, they're veterans who have debuted for many years. They just didn't expect this level of complexity.

"Oh my..." Several members sighed with emotion, lost in thought.

"IU, ah."

The agent turned to look at Suzy Bae, with a serious expression. He said, “You saw what yuan was like just now. I won't talk about her background, but just looking at appearances, she's much better than that Sheng Jun of yours, isn't she”

If you were to find a boyfriend like that, the company wouldn't say anything either, that Sheng Jun is really...

Upon hearing her agent's words, Suzy Bae pursed her lips and remained silent.

Because of what happened with Shengjun, the company doesn't know how many times they've told her.

“Well, you better hold on tight yourself.” The agent didn't say much more.

Bae Suzy glanced at him and stared blankly at the floor.

…………

At the same time, the APK lounge was exceptionally lively.

Originally, many of them knew Park Bo Gum. Jung Eun Ji, her good friend, needless to say, and Sun Na Eun was his ex-girlfriend, so their relationship is quite close.

Sun Naeun was rather quiet at this moment, sitting silently beside them. The two youngest were relentlessly chasing after Jung Eun-ji, asking her non-stop questions, while Park Chorong and Kim Min-seo also listened with great interest.

"Oni, did you know Jingyuan was this amazing before" Kim Namjoo was quite curious.

“How is that possible Jingyuan isn't the type who likes to show off. He didn't say anything about it, how did I know… Today he must have been angered by Zaihao. Ah jjia, this is the first time I've seen Jingyuan get angry. That merciless look is quite a contrast.”

Jeong Eon-ji remembered what she had just seen. Ji-seong's bright, sunny smile while making Jae-ho look like that made her speechless.

She wasn't particularly surprised by the harsh words, after all, she had been attacked by Chi Jingyuan countless times herself. It was just that she didn't want things to be this excessive today.

Jung Eun-ji thought for a moment and added, "But privately, it's obvious that Jingyuan's family is very good. I won't mention the ethereal concept of temperament, but just looking at his clothes and mannerisms, he clearly isn't from a different background. I could tell his family was well-off before, but I didn't expect it to be this good.

"That Jingyuan is so amazing, Oni, you're such good friends with him. Can we get some help from him too"

"If you keep thinking like this, your family won't last... Don't think about these nonsensical things. If you want to borrow his light, why not just marry him directly" Zheng Endi gave them a sideways glance.

In fact, Jung Eun-ji is quite aware of this. If Ji Kyeong-won has a better background and gets along well with her, he will definitely benefit in the future, even if it's just a little. At the very least, if something happens, he can call him for help. These are all visible benefits.

But this kind of thing you can't deliberately pursue, otherwise it's easy to cause resentment. Jung Eun Ji understands this very well.

And she and Chi Jingyuan were just friends last year, so she never thought about these things at all.

"Oh, I wish that too... Why don't you ask those EXO fans and Yuan fans online Which one doesn't want to marry him"

"You're really bold, aren't you Shameless! Are you one of those fans online"

"Of course! I even have Yuna's signed postcard..."

"Haha..."

…………

The shock and impact on those female idols was too much to express at first, but the EXO members were fine. They weren't as surprised as the others.

After all, I've known Chi Jingyuan for a long time, and through his special treatment at the company, I already knew he was royalty. I just didn't know to what extent.

Today's events merely provided another piece of evidence supporting Chi Jingyuan's unusual behavior.

What was once envied and jealous of last year, now that envy and jealousy are gone. The members have mostly calmed down and they aren't children anymore.

And the members they put together also have backgrounds, so the whole group benefits, and they are actually quite happy about it.

After returning to the waiting room, Lee Seung-hwan briefly explained a few things before heading out to discuss the aftermath with SBS. Meanwhile, the members enthusiastically discussed what had just happened in the waiting room.

But their discussion wasn't about Park Ji-seon and Kim Tae-min's relationship, but rather arguing which of Park Ji-seon's recent over-the-shoulder throw was more beautiful and deadly: this one or the one Wu Saike did before.

"He's definitely more impressive this time, Jingyuan's skills have improved so much. Didn't you see how that senior was beaten senseless"

Park Chan-wook confidently waved his hand and even did a shoulder throw, it looked like it would be awesome just watching.

He used to be good friends with Wu Saik because of their shared interests, but after so long, they lost touch.

"That's because Jingyuan punched two people before this takedown, so the cumulative injuries are what made it so severe. Otherwise, just with that shoulder throw, the senior wouldn't have been this badly hurt."

"Aren't you and Jingyuan playing games there You've even got injuries piling up. Wu Saike last time just laid down for a while and walked out himself, what about this time"

”…………“

They aren't just talking about it, a few people even get up and demonstrate, showing that they're quite interested in fighting.

The members' excitement made Ji-seong feel a little strange, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and watched the others discuss, occasionally chiming in with his own opinion.

Do you have time tonight to meet up

As they were chatting, Chi Jingyuan's phone buzzed with a message. He took it out and saw that it was from Jin Yaron.

Seeing the message's contents, Chi Jingyuan let out a light chuckle.

He has always kept in touch with Kim Yae-rong. They would hang out together whenever they had time, but they haven't seen each other much lately because they've both been too busy.

Today, girlsday was also watching the whole process from the sidelines. Shortly after the event ended, Kim Ah-young's message came over.

A complex and profound background coupled with a sense of mystery that begs to be explored is like intoxicating wine for many girls, irresistible and alluring. It can be even more captivating than mere physical attractiveness. So it's no surprise that Kim Ya-rong would want to meet tonight.

It's a pity that he's been swamped these past few days. Although Ji Jingyuan could tell his manager he wouldn't be returning to the dorm, he'd rather not go out of his way unless necessary.

"I've been too busy these days. I'll call you after the year-end when I have time."

After replying, he put his phone back in his pocket.

Jung So-jung didn't message him, which surprised him. Just before he left, he felt like she had something to say.

After a while, Lee Seong-hwan came back and had already briefed the members about the follow-up to what had just happened with Ji Kyeong-won.

While listening, Ji Jingyuan also took out his phone to check the news. Sure enough, both SBS and Dynaibsp;duo's agency had issued statements saying that Dynaibsp;duo member Jae-ho had accidentally stumbled and injured himself during rehearsals. The injury was not serious, but he would be absent from tonight's Song Battle.

All announcements did not mention anything about EXO and Park Jung-won, as if they were completely unrelated at this time.

Zaihao's SNS also posted this message, and expressed apology for disappointing the fans.

There was also a picture posted above, of the awake Tsai Hao smiling and giving a thumbs-up to the camera. The caption reads: 'I will recover soon and see you all soon.'

"I saw you on TV."

"DYNAIBSP Duo is the best hip hop group, without you I wouldn't watch the music war."

"How could you be so careless You must be too tired, even if your itinerary is packed, you still need to take care of your body..."

Seeing this picture, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He could imagine how unwilling and angry Zaihao would be after waking up and learning about the outcome of the situation, being forced by his agency to take this picture under such circumstances.

It's really hard for him to manage a business-like smile at this time, I wonder if his neck still hurts.

"No, does Senior Zhai really have that many fans"

"After seeing the comment, Ji-yeong curiously asked Do Kyung-soo who was beside him."

"Hip-hop is very popular on the peninsula and has a wide audience, it's just that you, Jingyuan, don't pay attention to it."

Do Kyung-Soo gave him a dumbfounded look with his big eyes, then explained something to Ji-Won for a while.

After listening, Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and said that no matter how popular it was, he remained indifferent.

It's a pity that Zhai Hao's return may encounter some difficulties.

After Yoon Taemin and Jo Cheng-u hinted at that phrase, SBS may not cooperate with Jaeha in many areas anymore, and it is estimated that he will have difficulty getting any more screen time on SBS.

Anyway, he's a hip-hop artist after all, so it doesn't matter if he appears on screen or not, as long as he's real.

…………

All the commotion surrounding Zhai Hao had no impact whatsoever, and the outside world was completely unaware of what truly happened. The 2013 SBS Gayo Daejeon that evening proceeded as scheduled.

Today's MCs are Sung Si Kyung, Park Sandara of 2NE1, and Kim Hee Chul of Super Junior. The three together look great, except for Park Sandara who seems particularly short standing in the middle.

While only sitting in the celebrity seats, Chi Jingyuan wasn't very comfortable.

Although the events of this afternoon weren't released to the public, after several hours of internal circulation, most of the artists who participated in the Song Battle today have heard about it, after all, it caused quite a stir.

Of course, those who didn't witness the event firsthand only heard about it from others. Anything that passes through several people's mouths before reaching its destination will inevitably become distorted. And in this way, all sorts of outlandish rumors emerge unintentionally.

But no matter how it is transmitted, the protagonist and core of the story will basically remain the same.

Meanwhile, as the protagonist Chi Jingyuan sat in the artist's seat, he only felt that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes behind him staring at him vaguely.

When he occasionally looked back, some people with thinner skin would turn their heads away, while others who were more generous would meet his gaze directly and greet him with a smile.

Chi Jingyuan wasn't afraid of having to explain himself to the female idol. It was just that feeling of being watched that made him a little uncomfortable.

Exo's stage was in the second half, so for the entire first half he sat among the artists, trying to distract himself by chatting quietly with the members.

Today's SBS Gayo Daechukje was significantly more impressive than the previous two days' KBS. Just in terms of stage and lighting design, it was far superior.

Plus, today there's a special finale surprise, a specially recorded VCR and the song "You Are A Miracle."

In the first half, every few stages, a VCR will be played, narrating the story of idols such as Sun Na-eun and Jang Woo-young playing roles in some of SBS's most popular TV dramas this year. It follows their journey to find "a way to bring warmth to everyone in the world."

When the VCR played to the scene where Sun Na-eun entered Imperial High School seeking help, the moment Kim Tan, played by Park Seo-joon, appeared on screen, the entire audience erupted in screams. The deafening cheers reverberated throughout the hall.

The drama "The Heirs" is already considered one of the hottest TV dramas of 2013, and if you include its overall discussion rate and popularity across Asia, that "one of" could even be removed.

And the male protagonist, Jin Tan, has truly captured the hearts of every viewer. Even though the TV series ended over a month ago, many people still miss him dearly.

Interestingly, when Jin Tan appeared and acted with Son Na Eun, a split screen appeared in the bottom right corner of the big screen. The split screen showed Ji Cheng Yuan in the audience seats.

At this moment, Chi Jingyuan was leaning back in his chair, seriously watching the VCR. Suddenly, when he saw himself on screen, he smiled faintly. Although it was the same face, at this time, regardless of his hairstyle, demeanor, or temperament, there were some differences from Jin Tan in the drama.

Seeing the pool scenery in the background, Wu Shixun and Han, who were sitting on both sides, excitedly reached out to playfully pull Ji Chang Wook's hair. The three of them joked around for a while before showing off their group spirit again.

Jin Tan and the actor who plays him appeared together, inevitably igniting the passion in the audience's hearts. Screams filled the air, drowning out even the sound from the speakers.

Many idols also felt that the scene was really interesting, their eyes lingered on Ji Chang Wook's back for a long time.

After the first half ended, EXO returned to the backstage and quickly changed their clothes and makeup. As soon as the second half began, it was their turn.

Today's stage outfit is very eye-catching, twelve people in white baseball uniforms, everyone has different colored AJ shoes.

And like real athletes, each one has their stage name and number printed on the back.

To highlight their individual characteristics, each member also has their own little costume. Some wear hats, and others wear scarves.

Chi Jingyuan's right arm was wrapped in a white base black pattern silk scarf, wearing white and gray AJ sneakers with "yuan" and "5" printed on the back in black.

Each member's jersey number has its own meaning, and this number '5' he chose represents his birth in May.

Like Wu Shih-Hsun's jersey number '94', it represents that he was born in 1994.

Chi Jingyuan is quite satisfied with the stage costume for today. The sporty style and handsome look blend perfectly, and this time's work from dy is truly commendable.

After they were ready, EXO walked out of the waiting room and headed to the elevator where they would wait. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out, they ran into Girls' Generation who were also coming out.

Today, 8 people came. It seems like Yoona wasn't there because she was filming or something else.

exo quickly bowed and greeted them. The several older sisters across from him also smiled and returned the greeting. Sunny saw Ji-yeong after that and walked over to him, looking at him and asking, "I heard you got into a fight with someone this afternoon"

As soon as she asked that question, all the other members of the group looked at her.

"Well... it wasn't really a fight, I guess. After all, the seniors didn't really fight back."

Chi Jingyuan pondered for two seconds, then shrugged and said.

"Haha, you really..."

Sunny immediately knew he was fine. She looked at Ji Jingyuan like that and helplessly smiled, then patted him on the shoulder.

They knew EXO's schedule was tight and didn't say too much. Afterward, Taeyeon and Hyo-yeon also took the initiative to chat a couple of sentences before both sides said goodbye.

Not long after, the second half of the SBS Gayo Daejeon officially began. EXO was already prepared on the lift. At the staff's reminder, the members took a deep breath and crouched down with their heads bowed. As the lift slowly ascended, they appeared on stage.

A black frame screen with a white display lamp reading 'exo' gradually rose, revealing Pool Kyung-won's team A in the eyes of all the audience. At the same time, the prelude to "Roar" which echoed across Asia entered everyone's eardrums.

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkt publicly announced that Park Ji-won will be starring in "Signal." However, these veteran fans are all clever people. At a glance, they can almost guess that Park Ji-won is about to star in a new dra...
