Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 117 The Confused Captain (Please Subscribe)
“My oppa is very busy with work every day, so he would probably delegate the task of recruiting an idol to his assistants.”

At this moment, Yuan Ying became aloof, which was something Chen Shijun had instructed him to do. After all, Jin Minzhou didn't have any way to contact him, so it was perfectly normal for him to go through Xiao Yuan.

Even so, Yuan Ying was told not to agree easily and to keep a respectable distance, continuously putting maximum pressure on Min Zhou.

"Good sister, please help Minju unnie. Unnie has a hard life. If you don't help her, she won't be able to sleep at night."

Yoojin grabbed Wonyoung's arm; the puppy-dog charm not only works on older women, but also on the youngest member of the group.

"Xiao Yuan, please help me, I will definitely repay you."

I never imagined that I would have to ask my youngest sister for help. I'm already very shy, and now I feel even more ashamed. If there were a crack in the ground, I would want to crawl into it right now.

"I understand how you feel, but then again, I, oppa, have a lot to consider, and sometimes I can't give you a satisfactory answer."

Yuan Ying was overjoyed. Chen Shijun's plan was indeed flawless. He had told her to wait a while for a good show to begin, and here it was, the show was finally here.

But how should she repay him? Yuan Ying didn't seem to care much. Chen Shijun was indeed clever; he would leave her hanging for a few more days before meeting her again.

"Xiaoyuan, thank you so much, I don't know what to do."

Urban Works' recent actions have been a clear indication that they want her to renew her contract as soon as possible, and their attitude has become much tougher than before, which has made her already sensitive heart even more depressed.

Once the thought of leaving takes root, it gradually grows strong, but the unspoken message remains unbroken.

When Won-young saw that this older sister was actually hugging him and crying, his feelings became very complicated. He secretly blamed her, wondering if this woman was really that important to Big Hit.

If I could pack myself and Ahn Yoo-jin up and leave, wouldn't that save a lot of trouble? If I can't pack ourselves up and leave, then I can at least take myself with me.

Leaving Ahn Yoo-jin on the starship was a bit unfair, but there was nothing that could be done. After all, even though the two had a good relationship, outsiders were still outsiders!
"Okay, okay! That's settled then. Once I see my oppa, I'll tell him. I can't guarantee he'll see you or not."

That's about enough to say; we shouldn't go any further. We need to leave the older woman some room for imagination so that Chen Shijun can make more informed arrangements later.

He gently pulled Kim Minju away from his embrace, staring at her pure and beautiful face, but felt a little uncomfortable.

What if such a beauty is sent to Chen Shijun's side and she tries to seduce his oppa, or what if oppa is attracted to her beauty?

This woman is so gentle and weak, while Chen Shijun is so domineering. She definitely wouldn't dare to resist. What if she half-heartedly gave in?

Minju managed to suppress these feelings, and as she turned to leave, her eyes were brimming with tears. Even though she was a girl, she felt a pang of pity, and she didn't know what Chen Shijun would do.

We can only hope he won't cheat on his neighbor, but Chen Shijun probably isn't that particular. I can only give him a few more hints.

Lost in thought, she walked out when she unexpectedly bumped into someone with a loud thud. The other person's forehead struck her chin precisely, causing Xiao Yuan to cry out in pain.

The other party was clearly quite frightened. When Yuan Ying saw Captain Eunbi clutching her head, she immediately disregarded her own pain and went over to check on her.

"Are you alright, Madoka? Are you alright, unnie?!"

The two occupants of the dormitory rushed over to check on the situation. Hit in the most vulnerable part of the human body, Xiao Yuan complained in pain about why her older sister walked without making a sound.

"Are your teeth alright? I just happened to be passing by and came to check." In this collision, Eunbi benefited from her short stature. Her forehead, one of the hardest parts of the human body, was at a subtle angle due to the height difference between the two people.

Actually, she didn't want to say that she had been standing at the door for a while. Although she didn't hear the specific content, Xiaoyuan's statement about what she would say to Chen Shijun immediately reminded her of the news from a while ago.

It's unbelievable that Kim Minju, despite saying she wouldn't go to Big Hit, actually had Xiaoyuan act as a go-between to privately contact their executives. It's truly...enviable.

Come to think of it, although Kim Minju is not as good as me in singing and dancing, she is much more popular thanks to Urban Works' strong promotion.

Joining a new team under these circumstances wouldn't be too bad; on the contrary, the risks at my age are too great.

However, on the other hand, does the other side really not need veteran experience? It seems that the girl groups that have debuted recently don't really have any senior figures.

Perhaps this will be a trend in the future, or perhaps IZ*ONE has already reached the peak of their idol careers, and they can only reminisce about this time for the rest of their lives.

Thinking about this, she felt a little lonely and even wanted Yuan Ying to say a few words on her behalf, but she knew she couldn't say such a thing.

Despite her anxieties about gains and losses, she still harbors a certain self-righteousness, a sense of pride that prevents her from relinquishing this sense of superiority unless she is forced into a corner.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The group still has a long way to go. Let's create a perfect ending together."

He watched Xiaoyuan walk away with a deep gaze, then turned back and patted Minju on the shoulder. This guy has a lot on his mind, and how could he not have his own?

Moreover, it's unclear how many other members of the group have already confirmed their attendance. Eunbi, who is a few years older, feels that despite being the leader, there's a deep barrier between her and the other members.

It was as if they were from a different world. He even had a dream in which Chen Shijun rescued him from his predicament as a savior, but when he woke up, he was still lost.

"I will do my best, unnie, don't worry about me."

Although he kept putting on a brave face, he had basically cleared away the obstacles in his heart. Since he was going to be an idol for a few more years, he still needed to practice his singing and dancing skills.

It can be said that she is prepared to burn herself out for her acting career, and hopes that the other party will not let her down.

The closer it gets to this point, the more confused I become. If I see Chen Shijun, how should I start the conversation? What if he rejects me?

Or to be even more pessimistic, what if Chen Shijun simply doesn't want to see his idol and thinks it's not worth his time to get involved?

He only hoped that Yuan Ying's influence was great enough to help her; at this point, his perception of hope had been distorted by despair.

Negative emotions were consuming Minju's cognitive resources, causing her attention span to shrink drastically. At this moment, Chen Shijun gradually became the sole focus of attention under the reinforced impressions of several people.

Instinct amplified his value and his sense of despair; the appearance of this lifeline was given a symbolic meaning that transcended reality by Minju.

Of course, An An also made a great contribution, saying things like "Only Director Chen can help you" and "This is the last chance," which has become a kind of brainwashing.

This excessive reliance on her own abilities suppressed her ability to solve problems independently, and many of her original ideas were completely shelved. She could no longer bear the consequences of shattered hopes.
