Chapter 167 How Much Can Unnie Be Sold For? (Please Subscribe)
"Who are you talking to on the phone? It sounds like a man's voice. Don't tell me you're in a relationship."

Min Zhou didn't say anything even though the girl was lying sprawled out on her bed. However, the fact that this guy had been avoiding her lately made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Then she realized that even the bullying had decreased, could it be that he had changed his mind and been deceived by some random guy? But how old is she? Is she supposed to be dating at this age? An'an is a female idol!

"Dating? I'm really not! What nonsense are you talking about, unnie?"

An Gougou's eyes widened immediately. This was a huge injustice! Although it was normal to date at his age, how could he wrong an innocent person if he hadn't done anything wrong?

It was just a phone call, why is Minju overthinking it? Looks like I haven't been teasing him enough; I need to tease him more to make up for it and earn more love from my little sister.

"Who was that on the phone just now? You're laughing so hard you're practically splitting your mouth like a woman with a gaping mouth. Are you that happy?"

This guy just looked really happy, his eyes were squinted into crescent shapes, and it seemed like a dog's tail was appearing behind him, wagging happily in the air.

“I’m on the phone with my dad. What are you thinking, Unnie? If you keep accusing me like this, I won’t let you off the hook.”

She fiercely hooked her arm around Minju's neck, grinning maliciously as she watched the guy's terrified expression. The two girls looked quite beautiful with their faces close together.

An An only has two older sisters, otherwise she could use her older or younger brother to cover it up. Speaking of IZ*ONE, none of the twelve members are only children.

Minju pursed his lips in disbelief. This girl had clearly called him "oppa" just now, though he hadn't heard the prefix clearly. But even so, he could tell she was lying.

I clearly heard you just now.

Before she could finish speaking, An Youzhen pinched her upper and lower lips, making her puff out her cheeks and unable to speak. She could only glare angrily at her disrespectful younger sister.

"You heard me! I'm planning to sell you off! How much can such a pretty unnie fetch!"

His sinister expression combined with a sneer made his acting rather exaggerated, which made Minju laugh. If this guy were to act, he'd be in big trouble.

"Then how much do you want? I'm so pretty, I should be worth a lot of money, right?"

The actress who's supposed to be cooperating with you won't turn a blind eye. Minju is, after all, an actress, so she tries her best to get into character, looking at Anan with a very frightened expression.

"Pure and innocent temperament adds 100 million won; good flexibility allows for easy splits adds 100 million won; easy to bully and obedient adds 100 million won; beautiful adds 100 million won; caring adds 100 million won..."

An Gou Gou kept listing the older sister's good points, which made Min Zhou very happy. Sure enough, this younger sister liked her very much, praising her to the skies one by one.

"That's quite a lot! Keep going, how many billions are you now? How many billions are you now?"

Yoojin was full of praise, but she was actually a little envious. She wished she and Wonyoung could join Big Hit, but Starship had indeed treated her very well, giving her the proper Starship princess treatment.

Yuan Ying's background made the company somewhat wary, after all, her relationship with Chen Shijun meant she was not easy to control. In comparison, An Youzhen, who had a cleaner background, became the company's first choice to promote.

"There are so many billions, I can't even count them all, so I've finally decided on 0 yuan! No money needed!"

The dog's words shocked Minju. He hadn't expected to find a 0-yuan purchase option after calculating for so long. His eyes were full of confusion and doubt.

"Who are you going to sell it to for free?! You actually want to sell my unnie! You're such a bad dog, you're going to drive me crazy."

After all that build-up and praising Minju to the point of being overjoyed, the final comment about giving it away for free was really infuriating.

Yu-jin hadn't expected this woman to be so hung up on this, so she quickly patted the woman's head, promising to find her a good buyer before selling her. "How about I sell you to Xiao-yuan's oppa? Isn't that a good buyer? If not, we'll even give you a discount."

Because Minju showed fear of Chen Shijun, he only thought that this guy was still bullying him, not knowing that many of his words were from the heart.

"No way! Director Chen looks like a cold-blooded and ruthless person, I don't want him! Besides, why should I have to pay extra?"

She raised her hands in front of her chest in an X-shape to indicate refusal, but the original topic was whether Ahn Yoo-jin was in a relationship or not, so why did she end up selling herself off like this?

But now the questioning has stopped; all that's being done is criticizing her for joking about Chen Shijun, saying it wouldn't be good if Yuan Ying heard about it.

Minju could sense some of the girl's strange emotions and possessiveness, so he never joked in front of Wonyoung, partly due to his personality.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Chen Shijun is clearly a gentle man. Have you ever seen a big boss who cares so much about his sister? Aren't you envious of Xiaoyuan?"

Everyone sees Chen Shijun from a different perspective. In An'an's eyes, Chen Shijun is not only not cold, but he is extremely kind and approachable, and he always has a smile on his face and seems very easy to talk to.

She and Min-joo used to argue for ages about Chen Shih-chun's smile. An-an said that a man's smile is very sincere, but Min-joo had a different opinion.

She insisted that Chen Shijun's smile concealed a deep-seated cunning and manipulation, a condescending psychological crushing, and that his refined and scholarly demeanor was merely a facade.

In the end, the argument always ends badly, and then Minju will be the first to back down. Big Dog is also someone who will take the easy way out, and they can quickly make up.

“He’s Wonyoung’s oppa, not ours. We need to be careful about who we’re closer to.”

Minju doesn't usually like to participate in these discussions. She said she doesn't know anything about Chen Shijun and it's just her subjective feeling.

"Besides, that girl Xiaoyuan usually seems very unhappy, so don't really piss her off. I'm not even mentioning Big Hit anymore."

After all, she was recruited into Source Music by Chen Shijun. If Xiaoyuan were to have any doubts, it would be a headache for her. So she might as well avoid suspicion.

An Gougou verbally agreed, but in his heart he was very unconvinced. Chen Shijun hadn't said anything, and even said that he was his good helper.

Chen Shijun himself did not expect that some of his actions were subtly changing An'an's mindset, and this situation would continue.

This big dog really wanted to fulfill Chen Shijun's expectations of him, even though he didn't know what benefits he would gain from these expectations, he just felt that he should fulfill them first.

"Let's not talk about that. Has Urban Works given in yet? Are they willing to let you go? When can you debut?"

When asked by her sister, Minju smiled and nodded. After negotiations between Big Hit and Urban Works, an agreement was finally reached on her transfer fee.

Even Minju herself felt that the fee was a bit high. Although Big Hit was rich and didn't care, it still put a lot of pressure on her.

"Sometimes I don't know how to deal with this expectation. If I don't do well, I'm afraid I'll keep getting scolded."

Despite his reluctance to accept his fate, Minju still felt considerable psychological pressure about going back to suffer the same ordeal a second time.

However, the dream of becoming an actress still rests on Chen Shijun's shoulders. What level should the idol group reach before she has the confidence to make demands?
