Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

After their daily couples' yoga practice, Kang Hanna casually hooked her arm around her lover's shoulder from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder, her tone wistful:

"StarsRookies, I'm not in StarsRookies; MV female lead, I'm not in the MV female lead either~"

If the selection criteria were truly impartial and based solely on merit, that would be fine.

Unfortunately, Kim Yoon-ji was one of the "lucky ones" in both of the high-quality projects, which made it hard for her not to have some very conventional thoughts.

"You only care about the newcomers, you're so biased!"

"No way, I clearly favor you more, okay?"

Han Shuo lifted Jiang Hanna's chin, tilted his head, and took a bite.

"She only 'came home' four times in total, unlike you, who has practically lived in my house."

"That's not how it works!"

As she spoke, Jiang Hanna couldn't help but laugh. She hugged Han Shuo tightly from behind, only to be thrown into his arms by Han Shuo's diagonal over-the-shoulder throw.

Does being a good person mean having a gun pointed at your head?

She shifted restlessly, then wrapped her arm around Han Shuo's neck with a smile.

Han Shuo was right. He was very fond of her delicate body, and the two often spent their afternoons and evenings exploring the secrets of the great harmony of life.

"There will be many more opportunities in the future, so don't rush things."

"What you did is not what you said."

Jiang Hanna giggled and used her index finger to block Han Shuo's approaching lips: "Didn't someone just say not to rush things?"

Han Shuo took Jiang Hanna's hand in his and kissed it: "Teacher Jiang, please, I really want to learn yoga postures."

Yoga is great! You should learn yoga!

With the selection of the female lead for the two music videos finalized, the trainee community is once again abuzz with excitement.

Unlike StarsRookies, which, no matter how good the treatment is, still needs time to be implemented, the female lead in the music video is a resource that is right in front of you.

It will be released and launched within a month.

It will be seen by tens of thousands of people through the company's publicity resources.

No trainee could remain indifferent to such resources.

Even the little monster Shin Yoon-joo was very unhappy with the result, feeling that she had missed the opportunity to witness an important milestone in his life.

They made it sound like he was some kind of president-level big shot.

Is he really that precious, given that important juncture in his life?

"It's just that precious~"

Shin Yoon-joo pouted her glistening little lips.

Han Shuo was amused by the little girl's childlike side: "So I'm that precious? Then I order you to bring me a few more portions of imported fruit."

He half-coaxed and half-pushed the little girl away.

However, the door closed in less than ten seconds.

Just as agreed, his roommate Naza knocked on his door again.

"What do you want now?"

"Why wasn't I chosen as the female lead in the music video?"

Naza's tone was both matter-of-fact and slightly naive: "Am I not pretty enough? Do I have a bad image?"

"Of course not."

Han Shuo handed the fruit platter that Shen Yunzhu hadn't finished to Nazha: "In my eyes, you're one of the prettiest trainees in this batch."

"Right?"

Naza beautifully raised her clean-cut little face.

Beauty was recognized, and she even had a great appetite, forking up an apple and munching away: "Then why didn't you choose me to film the music video?"

"You're so handsome, and I'm so beautiful. If we stand together, we'll be a force to be reckoned with."

Her tone was soft and her accent was a bit heavy; she sounded more like a cocky little girl than a proud and beautiful young lady.

"This is mainly because the music video requires a lot of kissing scenes, which isn't really suitable for you."

"Kissing scene?"

Naza covered her mouth, her movements becoming more refined: "That's true, a little bit~"

She smiled sweetly, looking down, and said, "But actually I don't mind at all. I know that this is the mission that actors should have."

They not only didn't mind, they were quite happy to.

Being able to kiss Han Shuo, such a handsome guy, would make countless people envious.

"That won't do."

Han Shuo said with a righteous expression, "That would get me scolded, and millions of netizens would criticize me behind my back. You don't want me to be criticized by netizens, do you?"

can you?

It might happen domestically.

However, South Korea has its own unique circumstances.

As long as it's not a passionate, wet kiss, netizens won't care too much.

"Oh well."

Naza felt deeply regretful.

"When we shoot some music videos for Chinese songs in May, we'll definitely reserve a lead role for you."

"Then it's settled."

As they were parting, Han Shuo called out to Nazha, "Remember, don't tell anyone what I told you today, understand?"

Why?

Naza scratched his head: "I also want to brag to Yoonjoo, Jiwon, Jiyoung, and Ni Ni unnie, and tell them that you said I'm the most beautiful one."

Listen to this – is this the kind of thinking a normal person would have?

Why should anyone listen to what you're saying?

Han Shuo coaxed her in a tone that sounded like he was talking to a child, saying, "This is to prevent them from being discouraged. You know how beautiful we are, that's enough."

That makes sense.

Her eyes darted around, and her clever mind began to work: "Can I tell my sister?"

"Anyway, next time she comes and asks me, I won't admit to anything."

Han Shuo carried the trash bag and walked out.

"Are you going to take out the trash so late?"

"Then you go and throw it away for me?"

Naza stepped back: "I've already taken a shower."

She was only wearing pajamas underneath a thick coat, and slippers on her feet, so it wasn't really suitable for her to go out.

To be honest, although his comment about Naza being beautiful was somewhat flattering, Naza is indeed strikingly beautiful, with clear, fair skin, prominent features, and a perfectly balanced exotic look.

In the future, Kaka will be able to easily dominate the battlefield.

"Then go to sleep."

Alright~

As she spoke, Nazha stood up straight, palms up, and poked her temples, shouting in Korean, "Loyalty!"

Han Shuo walked towards the stairwell.

After his figure disappeared down the corridor, the door to the girls' dormitory on the same side slowly opened a crack.

Jiang Enhui's beautiful face was revealed.

All night long, it was either Shin Yoon-joo or Naza who kept bothering him, and he didn't get a chance to go to Han Seok's place.

But she was unwilling to give up.

The conversation from the corridor just now echoed in my ears.

Although I couldn't understand anything except for the word "loyalty," it was clear that there was no superior-subordinate relationship between the two.

This is also what makes Hanshuo different from local business owners.

He never flaunted his power in front of these trainees.

Perhaps we can take advantage of Han Shuo's soft-hearted and easy-going nature and take the initiative to create opportunities to get closer to him.

She gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, picked up the beer and dried pollack she had bought that afternoon, and quickly followed after him.

The night is dark.

A cold wind howled.

There wasn't a soul in the neighborhood.

She found a small pavilion not far from her dormitory, opened two cans of beer, gulped them down, and then, fueled by the alcohol, called Han Shuo.

"Director, am I really that useless?"

Han Shuo was somewhat surprised when he received the call.

As a voice on the other end of the phone, trembling with tears and a hint of drunkenness, came through, he asked with concern, "Why do you say that? Where are you right now?"

A few minutes later.

Han Shuo walked into the pavilion.

Jiang Enhui sat hunched over on a long bench, three crushed beer cans scattered around her feet, and she was chugging down another can in her hand.

Seeing him approach, she staggered to her feet and greeted him: "Director~"

Drinking alone outdoors in this cold weather is not just a matter of being disorganized and undisciplined; it's a complete lack of care for one's own health.

It's important to know that every year, a significant number of alcoholics freeze to death on the streets due to excessive drinking.

"Hurry up and pack your things," Han Shuo said with a displeased expression. "Come back with me."

"Yes."

Jiang Enhui squatted down to pick up the beer cans.

However, he lost his footing and fell flat on his backside.

It's simply unbearable to look at.

Han Shuo helped clean up the trash, hung the bag around Jiang Enhui's neck, and carried her into the building.

"Director, I have something I want to say to you."

Fueled by alcohol, Jiang Enhui wrapped her arms around Han Shuo's neck.

Han Shuo said coldly, "Whatever it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Jiang Enhui refused and nestled in his arms, crying.

Her voice was very soft and had a strong smell of alcohol, making it difficult to hear clearly; one could only make out about 70-80% of it.

The gist of it is that her family was originally quite well-off, and as an only child, she was pampered by her parents from a young age and never suffered any hardship.

She has a pretty face, is tall, and has an outstanding appearance. She has always been the focus of attention among her peers since she was a child.

however.

As her father became addicted to stock trading, especially after suffering huge losses this year, the family's financial situation deteriorated rapidly, forcing her to drop out of school to earn tuition fees.

Having finally entered Starry Sky Entertainment, I now have a new option.

However, they suffered setbacks time and time again.

As she spoke, Jiang Enhui lifted her head from his embrace, her pretty face streaked with tears, clutching his collar tightly, and sobbed, "Am I really that useless?"

"Yes."

"You're the first person I've ever met who would act like they're going to die just because their life situation has changed slightly."

"Given your fragile mental resilience, I really need to seriously consider whether you are suitable for debuting."

Jiang Enhui was a little stunned, clearly terrified.

No, is there something wrong with how she's being addressed? Why is Han Shuo being so strict?

This time she was truly wronged.

Even that little girl, Naza, received his encouragement.

He had encountered so many difficulties, yet all he received was criticism.

On what grounds?

She buried her face in Han Shuo's chest and cried.

The elevator has arrived at the floor.

Han Shuo changed his mind at the last minute and took Jiang Enhui back to his dormitory.

With Shin Yoon-joo around, the family has everything they need, including several hangover remedies.

In South Korea, the legal drinking age is 20 (by the traditional Chinese age reckoning). Even in casual social situations, he can use his age as a shield to refuse any offers of alcohol.

I used to think this thing was useless and just took up space, but I never expected it to come in handy so quickly.

"Drink this bottle of Kendiwake, then go wash your face."

Jiang Enhui obediently followed her instructions.

After drinking a hangover remedy, I went into the bathroom to wash my face.

In the mirror.

A woman with smudged eye makeup, tear-streaked face, and looking utterly disheveled stared at her.

However, both of them wore victorious smiles.

I knew you'd be soft-hearted.

She took off her down jacket and tossed it aside, revealing her beautiful figure.

This is her most prized asset.

He filled the sink with water and submerged himself in it.

The icy water soaked her face and temples completely.

Without drying her face, she hurriedly returned to the living room with her face covered in water droplets, hoping to look pitiful and take advantage of Han Shuo's soft heart.

"Is there a face towel inside?"

"I didn't see it."

Like a child being criticized, Kang Eun-hye lowered her head.

Han Shuo was too lazy to get Jiang Enhui something to wipe her face, so he casually tossed her a piece of clothing that he hadn't worn yet: "It's clean, wipe your face."

"No."

Jiang Enhui responded with a slight bow.

Then she turned to the side, pulled up the collar of her long-sleeved shirt, and wiped her face clean from top to bottom.

This gray long-sleeved shirt is made of a lightweight and breathable material.

It was already slightly damp, and now the neckline was completely soaked, brazenly covering her full breasts and exuding a somewhat alluring sight.

Han Shuo was too embarrassed to get angry at her for being so careful.

His tone softened a bit: "It's good that you're ambitious, but don't get too hung up on things."

"Whether it's StarsRookies or the female lead in a music video, it certainly gives the nominees an advantage, but it doesn't mean that the nominees will be abandoned by the company."

"You are all handpicked by me, and you all have a bright future ahead of you."

"I can say with certainty that as long as you are obedient and follow instructions, the company will support you for life. Whether you will become rich and powerful is hard to say, but you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing."

Jiang Enhui nodded sincerely as she listened.

But she not only wanted to be well-fed and clothed, she also wanted to be extremely wealthy.

They don't want fairness; they just want the same favoritism as Kim Yoon-ji.

"Director, will you really always support me?"

Using the pretext of asking questions, she moved her plump, peach-shaped buttocks closer to Han Shuo.

"certainly."

At that moment, Han Shuo's phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a message from Kim Yoon-ji.

A quick glance reveals that the content is quite interesting.

It's said that a roommate who seemed to be "going home" tonight was staying up late, frequently wandering around the living room and entryway, and finally hurriedly leaving with a bag of things.

Ask him if he has seen the other person.

Coincidentally, Kim Yoon-ji's roommate's name is also Kang Eun-hye.

Suddenly, my thoughts became clear.

No wonder Kang Eun-hye, a proud and self-centered woman, suddenly became so fragile.

So they were deliberately putting him on display, using their honey trap on him.

I don't know how others deal with honey traps, but he always likes to turn the tables and help others achieve their goals.

"Director, what's wrong?"

Jiang Enhui asked somewhat guiltily.

"Damn spam text messages," Han Shuo casually tossed his phone aside, glancing at Jiang Enhui: "I never realized before, but you're actually very beautiful, and you have a hot body too."

"Yeah?"

Jiang Enhui almost couldn't hold back her smile.

You're blind, okay?

She knelt down and squeezed closer to Han Shuo, boldly taking his hand and pulling him into her arms.

Realizing that Han Shuo had not refused, her actions became even more provocative.

As his arms sank into the soft, muddy ground, Han Shuo felt a little lightheaded.

"Director, thank you for carrying me around all night. Let me massage your shoulders."

As she spoke, Jiang Enhui went around behind Han Shuo, knelt down, and sometimes rubbed her shoulders with her hands, and sometimes pressed her shoulders with her elbows.

The close proximity caused a soft spot to slap against the back of Han Shuo's head.

He couldn't help but lean back lazily.

Jiang Enhui seized the opportunity, supporting him and wrapping her arms around his lower back: "Director~"

This is a test for a nineteen-year-old boy. Which boy can withstand such a test? Anyway, Han Shuo chose to follow his heart, holding a pair of slender, white legs in his hands.

The two-legged achievement has been completed.

Feeling the surge of male hormones, Jiang Enhui's voice was hoarse: "Director, please be gentle~"
