ngwan beside him, his eyes met hers, and she stared back with wide eyes, her expression a mixture of surprise and astonishment.This girl is quite clever. She didn't blurt out anything like "Aren't you...“Saying it’s promoting Kpop, the audience isn’t even half of Los Angeles’ Korean and Chinese descent. Our EXO has no real fame in the US or Europe, I don't know how they promote Kpop.”

Park Chan-hwe looked somewhat displeased, his tone slightly sour: “Also, the stage performance tracks that Team M has prepared are all Xia Wen versions. I estimate they went there just to attract some Chinese-American audiences.”

"Team M is quite popular in China." Kim Jong-un nodded.

Compared to K Team's situation on the peninsula, M Team's activities in Xia Country were indeed very successful, and as a result, their entire EXO group has become very popular in Xia Country.

"Isn't it just a stage, or an overseas trip The round-trip flight would take almost a whole day. It's better to stay in the practice room and have more free time."

Ji Jingyuan interjected, sharing his opinion: "You guys didn't see them when they came back a few days ago The M team members had dark circles under their eyes so badly! They didn't even have time to rest after returning. They immediately started practicing for this crucial competition concert stage, and today they flew to LA early in the morning. I guess they're catching up on sleep desperately on the plane now."

Compared to M team's heavy schedule, Ji Jingyuan thinks K team is much more comfortable.

Of course, he has the heat of a big drama male lead, and a full belly doesn't know how hungry an empty one is.

"Oh..."

Kim Jun-myeon sighed, not sure if he was sighing because of the lack of schedules for Team K or because Team M couldn't even squeeze out time to rest.

Wu Shixun didn't participate in the discussion at all. He seemed uninterested in the topic. He sat in a corner holding his phone and tapping at the screen quickly, occasionally glancing around to see what was going on.

Just then, Chi Jingyuan's phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw that it was a call from Jiang Sheqi.

He glanced around, and the closest person to him was Doyoung, who was about three meters away. He naturally dialed directly.

Actually, there's nothing to be shy about. It's not like I'm whispering sweet nothings to my girlfriend; I don't need to hide in the bathroom.

"Hello there."

Chi Jingyuan picked up the phone and greeted him with a courteous word.

"Yo bu se yo…" Jiang Sheqi's voice was very soft, hushed like she had deliberately lowered her voice. It felt as if she were doing something wrong.

Even Chi Jingyuan pictured Jiang Sheqi's face, carefully scanning the surroundings while making a phone call with care.

"Jingyuan, are you at the company"

"Inside, what's going on in EXO's practice room"

The two usually connect through social media messaging. They don't call each other very often, usually only when they need to talk about something important.

When Jiang Shiqi heard Chi Jingyuan practicing in the practice room, her voice dropped a little, as if she didn't want others around Chi Jingyuan to hear.

"Oh, you're at the company..."

Over the phone, there was a clear sigh of relief before Jiang Sheqi began to explain: "The one I told you about before, who was also born in 1994, studied abroad previously and just joined the company as a trainee this year. Do you remember"

Chi Jingyuan recalled for a moment and nodded in response: "Remember, it's the female trainee you said was quite cute."

"Not...how come you only remember this" Ginger, her voice choked with bitterness, couldn't help but retort.

"Of course, there are other things I remember, but this one stands out the most."

Chi Jingyuan was unapologetic, matter-of-factly saying: "Don't you find this awkward Being able to leave a deeper impression on people just by your appearance is already a huge advantage, not to mention the fact that I haven't actually met her yet."

"Well, you're right about everything. You really are a rising star. It's her." Jiang Shubei's voice was weak.

"Kongsanda... what was her name"

"Sun Shengwan," Jiang Seqi hurriedly explained the purpose of her visit: "Didn't I ask you to take care of her before..."

"Are you taking care of me"

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but interrupt. However, he quickly recalled and realized that it was indeed something he had said casually at the time. He felt a little strange: "Okay, go on, Sun Shengwan."

I got to know Sun Shengwan and found that she had a pretty good personality. We were also in the same year, so after getting familiar for a while, we became close friends. Recently, we often eat together.

"Mm." Chi Jingyuan responded with a sound, signaling that he was listening attentively.

She is quite extroverted. Although she just joined the company recently, she is also very lively, talkative, and loves to laugh. She gets along well with people, but there are a few female trainee seniors who dislike her and often make things difficult for her, excluding her.

“While she was resting in the practice room, several trainees kept muttering sarcastic remarks at her. Sun Shengwan couldn't hold back and retorted, but they reprimanded her for being disrespectful to seniors, getting increasingly harsh in their words. Things escalated into a conflict, and it seemed like they even got physical.”

Didn't you scold her a couple of times

"We don't take classes together, I've been practicing for years, she just joined the company, how could we possibly take classes together Our foundations are different. It was after the incident that a relative of mine called me to tell me about it."

"It's a shame, I'd really like to hear how you insult people."

"You..."

Even though Jiang Sheqi was aware of Chi Jingyuan's personality, she sometimes still got caught off guard: "I heard the scene was quite chaotic, they almost came to blows. Sun Shengwan even pushed a senior, and then got caught by the practice room manager."

"Because those female trainees are considered senior and experienced, and it was Sun Seong-wan who made the first move, it's disrespectful to seniors. The room manager took her away for discipline, it looks pretty serious, there might even be corporal punishment."

She's a really nice person and she's quite wronged, could you please go talk to her on my behalf when you're at the company

Finally, Jiang Shibaqi timidly made a request, her voice laced with embarrassment.

This is on the phone, if it were in person, she'd probably blush and smile sheepishly again.

“The manager of the female trainees… is Lee Mi-joo, right”

Qǐ jǐng yuán sì nǐ xiǎng hěn wèn yī cè.

A woman in her thirties, with a gentle smile and slightly plump figure, appeared in his mind. He had seen her several times before, and she always greeted him with a kind smile.

"Inside, it's Li Meizhu, the department head. She's a very strict person. My friend told me that when she took Sun Shengwan away, her expression was terrible."

Jiang Shubi's voice sounded apprehensive, clearly with some lingering fear towards this Li Meizhu department head. It's estimated that she had been scolded severely in the past.

What's interesting is that they have completely different impressions of the same person.

"It's a small thing, I'll take a look. Don't worry."

Chi Jingyuan chuckled lightly and nodded casually.

"Since you're the one going, I'm naturally at ease. 'EXO's Royal Family,' that title is pretty well-known now."

When Ginger Shiqi heard this, she let out a breath of relief and giggled. She then tried to flatter him.

But this "royalty" doesn't sound very reputable.
