Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 85 Those Who Play with Fire Will Get Burned (Please Subscribe)

If Zhao Meiyan is often timid and occasionally bold, then Liu Zhimin is consistently bold.

Even Chen Shijun believed that it was not a rational thing for a member of a group who was almost certain to debut to have an affair with an executive of a rival company on the eve of their debut.

Moreover, he provides real-time updates on the company's debut progress. Those who know him would think he's a senior executive at Big Hit Entertainment, but those who don't would think he's a senior executive at SM Entertainment.

"He's heartless, he ran off to America, what a bad man."

The girl was muttering incoherent words, which startled Kim Min-jung, who was in the same dormitory. He stared at the little snake for a long time, unable to come to his senses.

"What? You misheard? I didn't say anything. Are you hallucinating because you're so nervous about the list being announced?"

Looking at the other person's increasingly outstanding conscience, Kim Minjung could hardly open her eyes. Everyone eats the same food, so why does she look so exaggerated?

Sometimes it can only be explained by talent, but I also have my own advantages. I dance more lightly and gracefully, and I don't have the trouble of drooping due to gravity.

"Really? I have been experiencing that lately. Am I just imagining things?"

She patted her head; that was indeed the truth. Getting close to finalizing the list was a huge mental ordeal for anyone, and it was no exception for her.

Kim Minjung noticed something unusual about the girl in front of her, but she hid it well and didn't show any curiosity.

After all, in her view, the core concept cannot be replaced. If they debut, they will most likely be teammates. Compared to those two green card holders who are native-born, she is closer to them.

"I can tell you're a bit restless, probably because you're working too hard. Let me treat you to a meal, a really good one."

Now that Chen Shijun is providing financial assistance, Xiao She is extremely wealthy and powerful. Even debuted artists probably don't have this kind of life. Just listen to your man and let her benefit from his wealth.

"Where did you get so much money lately? I remember you always didn't have enough pocket money. People who didn't know better would think you robbed a bank."

Having spent so much time together, we've become quite familiar with each other's lifestyles. This guy's spending habits have always been a headache; sometimes he runs out of money early and has to call his dad to ask for more gold coins.

But last time I bought a lot of beautiful new clothes, and I also started using high-end cosmetics. I also spent lavishly when I went out to eat.

The little snake had no habit of being frugal or thrifty, and knew that the few coins he spent were insignificant to Chen Shijun. Since he had given the money to Chen Shijun, he should spend his money.

Otherwise, wouldn't this powerful backer have found nothing? Zhimin's logic is indeed reasonable and well-founded, and no one could find fault with it.

Since she had the awareness that she had found a rich and kind older brother, it was naturally no problem for her to use the credit limit within the prescribed range. Not only that, she would sometimes give Minjun some small gifts.

“My dad said I’m about to debut, so he gave me some money to spend. It’s nothing.”

She continued her habit of lying without thinking, without even blinking, but even if Kim Minjung didn't believe her, she couldn't do anything about it and was dragged out to eat secretly by her.

Although this woman still trains very hard, she has suddenly become very good at enjoying herself, which makes people wonder, especially since she has been very fond of her bracelet lately, which she was not allowed to look at last time.

"Your dad is so generous! I'm so envious. Thank you, Zhimin, for taking me to eat such delicious food."

When a roommate's spending suddenly increases, it's quite obvious if you pay attention, at least in Kim Minjung's eyes.

Moreover, Chen Shijun seemed to be deliberately trying to spoil the little snake, causing her allowance to suddenly skyrocket to the point where she couldn't spend it all.

He didn't take his teammate's behavior to heart, nor would he say anything out of turn. If they were to debut together in the future, they would have to support each other. If she really played with fire and got burned, that was none of his business. "Hehe, hehehe."

The little snake didn't say anything, she just kept treating everyone to food. Now that the debut lineup was finally going to be finalized, she didn't even feel nervous because of Chen Shijun's sweet words.

He even imagined what would happen if he was unlucky and got sacked at the company, then joined Big Hit's triumphant return to SM Entertainment. Lee Soo-man tearfully said that he had lost the person who would change the course of K-pop history.

"All you do is laugh. Let's see how you'll laugh when you can't debut anymore. How can you eat right now?"

Although the food was delicious, Kim Minjung found it tasteless. Sometimes he had to admire how calm and collected his older sister, who was a year older, was in the face of important matters. She seemed to have no concern for the upcoming final assessment.

However, Minjung still hasn't thought about anything too outrageous, since a normal person shouldn't do anything particularly outrageous at this crucial moment.

Which trainee would dare to date on the eve of their debut? Minjung also realized that he was overthinking things, and Jimin was no fool.

"What kind of boyfriend do you want to find in the future? You seem distracted lately, are you having romantic feelings?"

We could only change the subject, but it still felt a bit like we were subtly probing each other. Just like how boys would talk about women when they got together, girls really enjoy commenting on men's topics.

"He has to be handsome, rich, preferably with endless money, not too old, around thirty at most, and proactive."

Zhimin swallowed the food in her mouth, squinted her eyes, and began to describe Chen Shijun's characteristics. In Minzheng's eyes, this was the epitome of infatuation.

"Are you making a wish here? Aren't most millionaires old men? Even second-generation chaebols wouldn't want you. What kind of decent person would want to find an idol?"

Despite being young, even a few months younger than the little snake, Minjung behaves in a very old-fashioned way, always mentioning his "bongwan" (traditional Japanese name) when introducing himself.

Zhimin felt that this guy's brain was sometimes like an old man's, which was in stark contrast to his youthful and beautiful image. She really wanted to give him a good whack to open his mind.

"Who said that? I found a super handsome millionaire last time, and he's not even as old as Taeyeon."

After saying that, she showed her phone to Minjun. Although it was a little secret with Chen Shijun, she sometimes wanted to secretly show it off.

"What is this? BTS? They are indeed very rich and popular, but... who are they?"

The photos are from BTS's fan site, showing Chen Shijun, Bang Si-hyuk, and Park Ji-won attending some of the company's events. Although there are only a few photos, they have surprisingly given this young director some recognition.

Her gentle, profound, warm, and noble image stands out from the style of a group of idols. Among a group of men with makeup and handsome performance outfits, she becomes a game-changer and leaves the deepest impression.

Looking at it this way, almost all of BTS's members' images seem a bit overloaded, giving people a sense of aesthetic fatigue. However, the identities that were subsequently revealed suddenly sparked a discussion.

After all, handsome people are common, but handsome millionaires are not. When Minjun casually inquired about him, he sighed and told Little Snake not to be greedy, because this was a man she could never have.

"Who said that? Am I not beautiful? What man could refuse me? I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

The little snake tossed her hair, her heart bursting with joy. The more outstanding this man was, the more it proved that everything she did was right, and the risks she took were worthwhile. All the praise from others would strengthen her resolve.
