Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 125 Listen to what I've said, or you'll make the same mistake again (Please subscribe)

"I don't want to live anymore! They insult me, saying my face looks like I've had plastic surgery, and that I look like a snake spirit."

She cried in Chen Shijun's arms, and it's true that women are made of water. Just like her easily sweaty body, her tear glands are also quite sensitive and developed, and she could always soak the sheets with tears.

"Our Zhimin is the prettiest. What do they know? They're just a bunch of sour grapes. Can they be as pretty as Zhimin?"

BTS is a group from their own company, and they have been incredibly popular in recent years. Their fan base is also extremely large and intense, so it would be strange if this girl didn't get criticized.

"Oppa! What am I going to do if I can't debut! My parents are yelling at me! They call me a complete idiot, how could they say that to me?"

In fact, Zhimin has always thought of herself as a very smart person. Although she is not good at studying, she just doesn't put her mind to it. She is not convinced by what her parents say.

However, the current situation is not good, and I don't have the confidence to refute it. Even my sister is criticizing me.

Zhihui never expected that this younger sister wouldn't fall for a man, but instead for her sharp tongue. The current situation is a complete mess.

She couldn't imagine how Chen Shijun could possibly save his sister. He had already offended half of the K-pop fans before even debuting. Who knew what kind of trouble he might cause if he did debut?

She has already asked her parents to think of a solution for Zhimin. If that doesn't work, she can come back and find a job. However, her education level is still a big problem. Not finishing high school is a huge disadvantage in this country.

"Zhihui said that no one would want me as a nurse, which is infuriating. I'm not that bad."

Although she was still being stubborn, she was actually scared inside. A sense of insecurity welled up in her heart, and Chen Shijun seemed to be her lifeline.

"Don't think like that. Maybe your fans will change their minds after you debut and start to like you once they see your outstanding qualities."

Chen Shijun lay on his side, his little head resting on his stomach. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke the back of her head like he was petting a cat. At this moment, she seemed weak and helpless, and incredibly adorable.

"Debut? Will the company still let me debut? I hope some extreme fans won't come after me!"

This fearless girl became increasingly terrified at this moment. What if someone smothered her to death on the street? She was only twenty years old and had a long life ahead of her.

"Oppa, how about I be your lover? You can take care of me and let me live a life where I don't have to lift a finger."

Suddenly, the little snake raised its head and made a shocking request, leaving Chen Shijun speechless. Who would make such a request so readily, especially with such a flirtatious look in its eyes?

It was as if she wasn't asking for a sugar daddy or a sugar mama, but rather for love. This girl always managed to come up with something new, and her shamelessness was unmatched, far surpassing that of Eun Chae-noo.

"Don't worry, don't worry, of course I won't abandon Zhimin, but there's still a chance for things to turn around, let's wait and see."

Chen Shijun stood up, took two ice balls from the refrigerator and put them in a glass. The amber-colored liquor looked beautiful under the light. Zhimin took the glass, not understanding why, but didn't know whether to drink it or not.

However, considering the gloom of the day, I took a big gulp of the cold liquor, which seemed to bring me a bit of calm.

"A turning point? Does the company still want me? I've messed everything up."

Zhimin wore a tired expression, an expression rarely seen on girls her age, but such a huge storm is not something everyone can encounter.

Tens of thousands of insults are unbearable for any established idol; her predecessors are living examples. For a trainee, this is definitely a major test.

"At this point, we still haven't had a conversation with you. Do you think that's normal?"

Chen Shijun took a small sip. This girl was just too caught up in the moment; at such a crucial juncture before her debut, how could she so easily abandon the core concept? Many advertisements were already scheduled, and the concept of this combination was exceptionally unique, possessing a very complex worldview and narrative structure. Changing the lineup at the last minute would be tantamount to starting from scratch.

Besides, it's just a few people... Well, although there are more people involved and the situation is more serious, if I had to choose between two cups of poison, I would have to hold my nose and save the little snake.

It's even possible that SM Entertainment is involved in the detonation of this bomb; it's highly likely that the whistleblower contacted the company, and SM detonated the fuse in advance to eliminate potential risks.

Just treat it as a funeral turned into a celebration. Sacrifice the soon-to-be captain to generate buzz, and then finally deny the rumors. As for whether the fans believe it or not, no one will care after a while.

This kind of thing has happened before. The example of the Ice Princess is right in front of us. No one cares whether it's true or false. As long as she can withstand the criticism, that's all that matters.

Chen Shijun's analysis seemed to make some sense. The little snake gave a bitter smile that was even uglier than crying. She had touched up her makeup when she arrived, but now it was almost all smudged from crying.

"Really? Oppa, you're not just trying to make me happy, are you? But the fans are really going to yell at me!"

Little Snake felt that he had indeed named names after all. Although EXO was not as popular as they used to be, their fans were still very powerful, not to mention the rising star BTS. What if someone came to retaliate against him offline?

The company probably won't provide bodyguards for the trainees. For a moment, some even thought that Chen Shijun should just buy a house and hide himself away. If all else fails, he could go to Big Hit and serve them tea and water.

As for Chen Shijun's suggestion that she be En Hui's secretary, that was just a joke. Being placed next to Zhi Duoxing would only highlight her stupidity; she wouldn't be of any other use.

"There shouldn't be any problem with that. The relationship between entertainment companies and fans is strange; it's a relationship of mutual dependence yet also mutual control."

Behind every major fan site is a company. Fans use their purchasing power to influence the company's decisions, while the company uses a series of maneuvers to generate even more revenue.

As long as SM is willing, controlling the fans' emotions shouldn't be a problem. After all, it's not something that's morally reprehensible, and it doesn't seem like a big deal in the face of time.

"What about BTS? Their fans are attacking me the most. How am I supposed to survive in this industry now?!"

This guy's comments, which specifically named names, were really going too far. Fortunately, he only briefly mentioned TWICE and BLACKPINK. If he had named them one by one, it would have been a real problem.

After all, a single sentence can create a fan base, and a few words can easily add tens of thousands of haters. With such a large number, it's inevitable that there will be a few extreme haters.

"As for BTS, I'll try to find a way to get the company and their fan club to restrain them. As long as the rumors are wiped out, things will quiet down soon."

Ultimately, it's just that an up-and-coming female idol likes to talk badly about people; it's not a capital offense. As long as it doesn't involve bullying or sexual scandals, it's not a big problem.

"Really? Oppa is so good to me? Is this okay?"

The little snake tried to kiss Chen Shijun, but the man disgustedly pressed the girl's face with one hand, saying that her snot and tears were really unbecoming, and she should go wash up first.

It wasn't for nothing that he came to Chen Shijun's place instead of going home. However, the man also said that he couldn't be reckless anymore, otherwise something terrible would happen.

"Don't worry, oppa? Don't you trust me? I'll definitely become a more cautious Karina in the future."

The girl's assurances did not put Chen Shijun at ease. He had figured out the girl thoroughly; she was not one to easily learn from mistakes.

"You're all talk and no action, but you always do the same thing again. You're the kind of person who's all talk and no action."
