Chapter 242, Section 241: Junior Sister Zhang and Zhou Ye Fight or Make Up (4K)

at the same time
Zhou Ye, who was at home browsing Weibo's trending topics, fell into deep thought.

May 20th was her birthday, and many people wished her a happy birthday and gave her gifts on that day.

Among them is Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi gave Zhou Ye a new camera.

She enjoys traveling and taking photos, and has some knowledge in this area.

The camera was placed in the middle of the table. Zhou Ye rested his face in his hands, looking at it, as if he had remembered something.

My junior sister sent me flowers before, and now she's sent me a camera, along with a card that says "Happy Birthday".

"Junior Sister Zhang is determined...we need to ease tensions."

Since they've gone to such lengths, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to remain cold-hearted?
No, no!

It was she who tried to interfere in my relationship with Lin Shaobai in the first place!

It's her problem, why is she blaming herself here!
But Kobayashi didn't say anything...

The senior sister was caught in a deep dilemma, feeling as if there was a scale in her heart that was tilting to the left one moment and to the right the next.

"Ugh……"

Finally, with a long sigh, Zhou Ye decided to meet with Zhang Jingyi for a proper talk.

She's still soft-hearted at heart.

……

The next day
The two met at a coffee shop near Baichen Entertainment Company.

The afternoon sunlight, like melted honey, slowly flowed across the wooden floor of the café.

Zhou Ye sat in the private room, turning his head to look at the green ivy by the window, which was translucent from the sunlight.

A short while later, Zhang Jingyi, fully armed, walked into the private room.

She stood at the door, somewhat stunned.

Even before anything had been done, the awkward atmosphere was already palpable.

"Cough cough."

Zhou Ye coughed twice, but this only made the scene more awkward.

Zhang Jingyi closed the door, sat opposite her senior, and took off her mask and baseball cap.

"Sister."

"Forehead……"

Zhou Ye composed himself and placed the two gift boxes he had placed at his feet on the table: "I bought some things you should use on your trip. You gave me a gift, and I felt that I should reciprocate."

"I gave my senior sister a gift not because I expected her to give me one in return."

"I know you didn't mean it that way, but I feel I can't owe you a favor."

"..."

"I've thought a lot about gifts, and then I suddenly remembered that you like to travel, right? I figured I should be able to accept something related to that, wouldn't you?"

"Thank you, senior sister. I really like it."

"Zhang Jingyi, did you see those online marketing campaigns before?"

“I saw it, but I want to say that those things have nothing to do with me. I did not deliberately try to put anyone down.”

Zhang Jingyi's honest explanation.

The previous claim that the two were twin flowers caused strong dissatisfaction among fans.

In any case, fans from both sides said the other was ugly and not good enough for their idol.

It was incredibly noisy.

Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye had no involvement in this matter; it was all fabricated by marketing accounts.

In pursuit of traffic, marketing accounts have started inciting arguments among their followers.

This is commonly known as "inciting conflict".

They are only satisfied when they see both sides' fans arguing.

"Those things have nothing to do with me."

"Ah."

After discussing these topics, the atmosphere became awkward again.

Zhou Ye felt that this couldn't go on forever; since they had made the appointment, they had to resolve the matter.

Let's finish this quickly and decisively, without any more hesitation!

"I know why you sent me flowers and gifts before."

Zhou Ye held a cup of coffee for breakfast, but because she was nervous, she didn't take a sip.

Zhang Jingyi sat upright opposite her, maintaining the proper posture of a good student, and obediently looked at her senior.

"I think you don't need to send me these things anymore."

Zhou Ye spoke slowly, his eyes exceptionally firm.

Zhang Jingyi thought the two of them were going to go back to those days of arguing and bickering. She took a deep breath and her eyelids gradually drooped.

What I mean is, let's just get along like before.

"Before?" Zhang Jingyi straightened her back, her eyes brighter than before.

"It's the way we interacted before that incident happened."

"..."

“The relationship is different now, and I’ve agreed to stay by Lin Shaobai’s side. Since that’s the case, you’re right, we shouldn’t cause him any more trouble.”

Zhou Ye couldn't help but frown as he said this.

A few months ago, she would never have believed that she would be sitting with Junior Sister Zhang discussing this matter.

I don't know when it started, but slowly, the resistance and resentment in my heart have dissipated.

Even when I met Zhang Jingyi in person, there was no sense of conflict like before.

Of course, this only applies to this junior sister surnamed Zhang.

Perhaps it was because of Zhang Shimei's subsequent behavior.

I still feel a strong aversion to that person surnamed Tian.

"Senior sister, I know what you mean. I came here to express the same idea."

"Anyway, we all have the same goal: to make Lin Shaobai better."

"Ah."

"..."

Zhou Ye discovered that as long as she didn't continue the conversation, this junior sister Zhang would sit motionless like a wound-up robot.

Where did your fighting spirit from when you were arguing go?
"Uh. That's fine then."

Zhou Ye didn't know what to say, so he could only end the conversation hastily.

Actually, Zhang Shimei was already quite satisfied by this point.

She hated arguing from the beginning, and now that everyone has chosen to stay by Lin Shaobai's side, there's no need to roll her eyes every day.

……

At the end of May, the final of "Youth With You Season 5" came to an end. The three trainees sent by Baichen Entertainment successfully debuted and won first, third and eighth place respectively.

That evening, when I checked the trending topics, they were all related to this show.

30 of them are in the top 50!
Almost every time a member of the final group is announced, it becomes a trending topic.

#Liu Yuxin in the center position#
#Yu Shuxin ranked second#
#Kongsheer third place#
The show's popularity even broke the record set by the Kiwi platform that very night!
Before this, the apartment's popularity had been maintained by "Idol Producer".

Furthermore, the number of reposts of related Weibo posts about the program exceeded 5 million, and the number of views of related short videos easily surpassed 100 million, with the dance segment performed by company member Liu Yuxin being the most outstanding.

On Douban, the number of discussion posts about "Youth With You Season 2" increased by 12,000, breaking the single-day peak for domestic variety shows.

Amidst such fierce competition among members, Lin Shaobai also made it to the trending topics list thanks to his outstanding looks.

The main focus tonight is, of course, the trainees.

After the finals, Lin Shaobai had some free time and went back to Baichen Entertainment Company.

The company invited all three trainees to the company for a simple celebration ceremony, and Zhou Ye, Tian Xiwei, and Zhang Jingyi also came to the scene.

It's very gratifying that all three trainees sent out have successfully debuted and gained a large number of loyal fans.

For Lin Shaobai, the hope is that the company's artists become as popular as possible.

After all, they earn more money.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Lin Shaobai noticed that Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi were standing quite close together.

Most importantly, he spoke to the other person with a smile on his face!

hallucinations.

You must be hallucinating.

Lin Shaobai thought he had misread it.

These two have had several arguments.

They're being so friendly now, could it be that they've made up?
Lin Shaobai stood still, observing the two people in the distance once more.

It is undeniable that the two of them were indeed quite close, and neither of them seemed to dislike the other.

They would occasionally turn to look at each other and chat with a smile.

Neither of them felt any aversion.

"reconciled?"

After watching quietly for 10 minutes, Lin Shaobai couldn't help but utter those three words. His personal assistant, Xiao Zhao, standing beside him, was a little curious.

"President Lin, what are you saying? What do you mean, 'made up'?"

"Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi".

"Oh, so their fans have finally made up?"

Assistant Xiao Zhao analyzed it based on his own understanding.

"Fans are reconciled..."

"Anyway, the data shows that these two fans are the most argumentative in the company. They've been arguing for a long time now, almost every day. Sometimes their Weibo posts are a complete mess."

"..."

Lin Shaobai was helpless.

This was to be expected.

It's easy for two young actresses in the same race to quarrel, let alone the fact that they have the title of "twin flowers".

Neither side's fans want their idol to be a replacement for the other.

"Xiao Zhao, ask Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi to come to my office later."

"Ok."

About 15 minutes later, when everyone had finished their work and were about to leave, Assistant Xiao Zhao, as instructed by Lin Shaobai, came to the two people and explained the situation.

"Are you asking us to come along?" Zhou Ye turned to look at Zhang Jingyi beside him.

Zhang Jingyi didn't speak, staring blankly at her assistant, Xiao Zhao.

"Xiao Zhao, you're not playing a prank on me, are you?"

Most people wouldn't expect to be called to the office at the same time, especially at this time.

"It was President Lin who said it himself."

"Ok."

Zhou Ye and Zhang Shimei exchanged another glance, and the two went to Lin Shaobai's office together.

Lin Shaobai is currently sitting at his desk reading the script for the movie "Major Events in Life".

After seeing the two arrive, they put the script aside.

Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi sat together in the chair opposite Lin Shaobai.

Zhang Jingyi remained motionless, sitting obediently in place, just like before.

She blinked occasionally to prove she hadn't fallen asleep.

In comparison, Zhou Ye's facial features and expressions are more varied.

She first looked around the office, then focused her gaze on Lin Shaobai.

"They've all broken up, what do you want with the two of us?"

"I just wanted to discuss my future career plans with you."

Lin Shaobai made it up on a whim.

Zhou Ye frowned, instantly recognizing the deception.

"Come on, give me that. Career planning?"

"That's really what I'm thinking. By the way, Jingyi, have you ever thought about going on a variety show?"

Lin Shaobai turned his head to look at the silent Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi blinked as she listened.

"Me, me going on a variety show?"

"Yes, like the reality show that my senior sister was on before, Youth Travelogue."

"No no no."

Zhang Jingyi shook her head wildly, like a rattle-drum.

Zhou Ye: "Why are you so disgusted? 'Youth Travel Notes Season 2' is very popular."

"No, it's just that my personality isn't really suited for reality shows. I'm rather socially awkward."

Zhang Jingyi said honestly.

"Aren't you really planning to become a regular on a variety show? Being on a variety show can attract a group of variety show fans."

Lin Shaobai asked again.

Variety shows can also broaden national recognition.

When asking the question, I specifically observed Zhang Jingyi's expression and found that she did seem reluctant to appear on variety shows.

He's genuinely socially anxious.

"Actually, being a guest for one or two episodes is okay, but as for being a regular, I'm very socially awkward."

"alright."

"No way, Junior Sister Zhang, you have to learn from me!"

Zhou Ye suddenly smiled and patted Zhang Jingyi on the shoulder: "We have to overcome this. Going on variety shows can also attract a lot of fans."

Zhang Jingyi lowered her head and nervously gripped her pants.

Lin Shaobai was a little stunned to see his senior sister comforting Zhang Jingyi like that.

It seems that what I saw before was true; the two of them were indeed chatting and laughing.

The relationship is much better than before.

"Senior sister, what about you over here..."

Lin Shaobai turned to look at Zhou Ye and said.

Let's make arrangements for my senior's future plans.

Zhou Ye smiled slightly and said, "I will follow your arrangements for the future."

Lin Shaobai: "...Okay, then I'll sign you up for 'I Am a Singer'."

"What!"

"puff."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she heard this.

As everyone knows, Zhou Ye's singing voice can shake the Chinese music scene.

So making jokes about her singing will always make people laugh.

"Jingyi, you should go back first. My senior sister and I still have things to talk about."

"Oh."

Zhang Jingyi obediently got up, took her bag, and left the office.

When only the two of them were left, Zhou Ye took out a piece of candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth: "Speak, what is it that you want to talk about in private? Why did you have to clear everyone out, all mysterious?"

"You two have made up."

"..."

Zhou Ye's eyes darted around for a moment, surprised that he had asked that question directly.

Lin Shaobai guessed the answer from her expression: "That's good. As long as we don't argue."

"That suits your taste. Didn't you want us to live in peace?"

Zhou Ye had a look in his eyes that seemed to see right through Lin Shaobai.

"Xiaolin, I thought about this for a long time before deciding to do this. I argued with Junior Sister Zhang for a long time, and I was exhausted from it. Since she has already agreed to stay by your side, and she also wants to stay by your side, then we should avoid some things if possible."

Lin Shaobai thought that the two of them could finally get along peacefully.

"Don't get too cocky! You're really getting on your nerves."

Zhou Ye looked at Lin Shaobai's face and couldn't help but say.

Lin Shaobai hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his eyes and smiled: "Senior sister, I—"

"That smile is too much!"

Lin Shaobai: "?"

Zhou Ye looked at Lin Shaobai's face and felt a little shy.

Many netizens say that Lin Shaobai is the most handsome man in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Zhou Ye himself wholeheartedly agrees!

Such a face is absolutely mesmerizing.

He's handsome, and most importantly, he has a great physique!

A few seconds later, Zhou Ye realized that he had been staring intently at Lin Shaobai's face.
