Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 300 Repayment
"Unnie, what are you doing?"

Li Rui, who was still a junior high school student, also keenly sensed that something was wrong between the two. In fact, everyone had noticed the abnormality between the two of them over this period of time.

However, the relationship between the two is quite complicated. If you think they're having a fight, they'll make up in no time. If you think everything's fine, they'll start arguing again in no time.

As the youngest member, I once thought this was just a little flirtation between the two older sisters, but sometimes that sense of estrangement and melancholy didn't seem fake. The adult world is very complicated.

"I'm not going to do anything. I'm going to help you make a lot of money in the future. Once we have money, I'll send you all luxury cars one by one."

Recently, Ahn Yu-jin hasn't talked about Chen Shi-jun in front of me. The Twin Towers are already signaling their comeback, and both of them have received some variety show opportunities, all in order to pave the way for the group's debut.

"You're really lucky!"

Since her debut as the center of IZ*ONE, Wonyoung's career has been smooth sailing. Although she is also known as one of the "Twin Towers," there is still a gap in popularity.

Chen Shijun also said that she rarely needs others to worry about her, but since it's her and Yuan Ying's birthdays soon, they'll eat the cake in two separate meals this time.

When they were in IZ*ONE, their birthdays were only one day apart, and they often celebrated them together. Now, however, they have their own ideas and don't want to make do with each other anymore.

Chen Shijun was naturally very perceptive of the girls' little schemes. The flowers in the little garden were almost ready to bloom, and given the current situation between Youyuan and the other two, if their relationship were to be exposed, they would definitely end up fighting.

However, with the debut of this group called IVE, it's inevitable that they will be compared to another group with a strong IZ*ONE background, S-team. It remains to be seen how much of a surprise this highly anticipated group will bring.

After joining the debut group, Ichiyo Nakamura quickly demonstrated her adaptability, proving that she had endured just as much hardship during her more than ten years of ballet career.

With Miyawaki Sakura voluntarily stepping down as captain, Kim Chae-won, whom Chen Shijun had always admired, is officially preparing to take over the role, having already demonstrated a certain level of leadership before his debut.

With the launch of new groups one after another, GFRIEND, a veteran of the company, has not received any comeback plans, which has left Captain Shaoqing somewhat confused.

Although he has been doing commercial performances and other things, the lack of new works for a long time is really making people anxious. Captain Shaoqing thinks that Chen Shijun may have forgotten about him.

"Actually, it's not bad. Everyone knows that a new group is going to debut, and we old guys are just happy to make money."

The teammates, however, were quite open-minded. After this contract renewal, the group officially entered its final stage, and the activities they could still participate in were already quite good.

Captain Shaoqing wasn't concerned about that, after all, they were a group that had already proven themselves. The main issue was their slightly complicated relationship with Chen Shijun.

If Chen Shijun wasn't interested in her at the time, why did he get things done so quickly and efficiently?

At the time, Captain Shaoqing thought the other party was a rather lustful person. Thinking back to how he ignored her, she assumed it was just a ploy to get her.

But to my utter surprise, after several months, the other party still hadn't made a move, which was incredibly frustrating. The chat history still showed the last message I sent.

Logically, this should be a good thing, but the unease in my heart just won't go away. After all, when you're in the company, you're bound to run into each other all the time.

She might remember it someday, and if she tries to renege on the debt, she might face some punishment. If the other party remembers, there's nowhere she can hide.

So rather than passively waiting for Chen Shijun to remember her and take advantage of her, perhaps taking the initiative to contact him is a good idea, Shaoqing thought.

"Director Chen, thank you so much for your help. I don't know if I've been too busy, but I haven't received your reply yet..." Captain Shaoqing edited the message several times before sending it out. It seemed polite, but it was actually a probing message.

She placed her phone face down on the table, pretending to be engrossed in looking through the group's recent schedule, but couldn't resist picking it up again after less than thirty seconds.

How is GFRIEND doing lately? Are there any issues after their contract renewal?

Chen Shijun then remembered the group in the company. Although they had renewed their contracts, they really didn't have much presence in the lineup.

All eyes were on the new combination of ADOR and Source Music, and there was simply no one available for GFRIEND.

"Thanks to Director Chen, everything in the group is going well. Thank you for your concern."

Seeing that the man kept talking about official business, Captain Shaoqing was also very nervous and apprehensive. In fact, Chen Shijun could guess some of the other party's thoughts, but he had really forgotten about her during this period of time.

But he couldn't say that openly, since being ignored was always embarrassing, especially after being ignored for so long.

"If I may ask, Director Chen, is there any news about our return plan? It's been a long time since our last return."

Not only was it a long time since their last comeback, but their last return was also visibly careless, practically screaming "harvesting leeks" on their faces.

"It might have to wait until the new group debuts. You know, Source Music has invested a huge amount of money this time."

Chen Shih-Chun also felt that there were priorities, and the entire Source Music was currently focused on serving the new girl group, hoping to achieve a successful start.

Su Chengzhen also had a competitive spirit with Min Hee-jin, after all, they debuted around the same time and had recruited many well-known female artists, so he had a reason not to lose.

"Is that so? I understand. Thank you, Director Chen, for revealing all this to me, including what happened last time. Please allow me to treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude."

The other party's response was within Shaoqing's expectations. As long as there is a plan to return, even if it may be a long time coming, there is always hope.

Shaoqing felt it was better to play dumb for now, so that she could make a quick decision on whether to fight or surrender when they met, and avoid being completely passive.

Even the worst outcome would be something like the story of Consort Quan, which wasn't an unacceptable result, Shaoqing thought to herself.

"A meal? You're too kind. I haven't been of much help."

Actually, it did help to some extent. By spinning off ADOR in advance, Source Music was able to free up some manpower, allowing the GFRIEND group to continue.

"Please allow me to express my gratitude to Director Chen; this is an idea I've been wanting to do for a long time."

Fearing that the other party would think she was trying to renege on her debt, Shaoqing decided to take the initiative and shift the blame onto Chen Shijun.

After all, it's true that he doesn't reply to messages, and I'm worried that he's busy with work, so what's wrong with not daring to contact him without my permission?

Once Shaoqing thought about this, she realized she couldn't blame her anymore. There was also room to turn around when they met, which was perfect.
