Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

"What do those people online say? If you're fat, they say you're fat; if you're thin, they say you're thin. They'll say all sorts of things, good and bad. Don't take it too seriously," Su Xia advised Liz.

He was also scolded a lot, but he learned the essence of his brother's teachings.

My friend only reads positive reviews; he glances at negative reviews, identifies the reviewer as an idiot, and then automatically deletes them.

Hey, invincible!

"Yes." Liz smiled. Of course she understood what Su Xia was saying, but these things depend on personality. She wasn't the type to completely ignore negative comments.

But Su Xia meant well, so Liz readily agreed.

The two teams, totaling about ten people, chatted in small groups like Su Xia and Liz, and the dinner party ended in a relaxed and pleasant manner.

After everyone had finished eating, at Park Hee-min's suggestion, everyone took a group photo.

Liz took the selfie stick from her assistant and held her phone up high on it.

"Do I need to change positions?" Su Xia asked, looking at the phone screen where she was only a centimeter or two away from Liz.

"No need, this is for promotional purposes," Liz's agent said from the side.

"Okay." Su Xia nodded. He was just asking politely; he wouldn't be happy to actually switch seats.

Looking at the camera, smelling the faint scent of pomelo and gardenia beside her, Su Xia smiled and made a peace sign.

click!

The image freezes.

……

Hotel suite.

After washing up, Su Xia came out of the bathroom and was greeted by Kim Tae-yeon, who was standing next to her phone, looking extremely anxious.

"Quick, quick, Liz posted on Instagram! I want to see how she posted it!" Kim Tae-yeon was getting impatient. Su Xia had only been online for a few minutes when Liz, whom Su Xia had just registered on Instagram with her guidance, updated her status.

But since she has no physical form, she can't open it and can only stare blankly at it.

"Did you post it?" Su Xia didn't even bother to dry her hair. She just wiped it off and threw the towel on the sofa, then reached out and grabbed the phone that was still playing a video automatically.

I turned off the music notes and logged into Instagram, which I had only registered a few days ago. Among my only following people, "liz.yeyo" had posted a new update.

"The Chestnut Pastry Team's First Get-together [Photo]"

In the picture, Liz holds up a selfie stick, smiling brightly at the camera. Her dimples look cute and playful under the light.

Beside Liz, Su Xia had one hand behind his back, leaned forward, and kept a fist's distance from Liz. He smiled and made a peace sign. The handsome and sunny Su Xia and the bright and beautiful Liz together formed the core of this picture.

After browsing the comments section, I found that most of the questions were about the Chestnut Pastry team and who this man was.

Although Su Xia gained popularity with his video "Reunion with the World," most people only watched it and then forgot about it. Naturally, not many people knew him personally as the creator of the video.

"Once the promotion starts tomorrow, it will be a completely different story," Kim Tae-yeon commented after briefly glancing at the comments section.

"They'll probably criticize me if they see an internet celebrity like me collaborating with an idol," Su Xia guessed, stroking her chin.

"It's all the same all over the world. Even if an idol's status is low, it's still higher than an internet celebrity's. You're at the very bottom of the entertainment industry's food chain."

Su Xia's lips twitched.

"But you're lucky, you have the advantage of being a lawyer, so most celebrities won't really treat you like an internet celebrity."

Internet celebrities are indeed at the bottom of the food chain, but lawyers are not.

Leaving aside other places, in South Korea, lawyers, doctors, and professors are the three most respected elite professions among the South Korean public.

Prosecutors belong to a different class, and are not on the same level as any of the professions that can be obtained through hard work, so they are generally not discussed here.

Su Xia, this internet celebrity lawyer, has a dual status that makes her more than just an idol; even film and television actors would have to greet her respectfully.

"That's true." Su Xia slapped her forehead, realizing she had almost forgotten her old profession.

"Now that you mention it, I remember I'm going to Nanjing at the end of August."

"Travel?" Kim Tae-yeon's eyes lit up. Su Xia hadn't gone on a trip in a year and a half, and she was really getting restless.

"Of course not." Su Xia glanced at her. "Before the internship lawyer's professional qualification examination, you need to participate in a province-wide centralized training for internship lawyers. Without a training certificate, you won't be allowed to participate in the professional qualification examination."

"Oh." Kim Tae-yeon really didn't know about this. She was probably out playing somewhere while others were telling Su Xia.

How long will the training take?

"About a week."

"Will they reimburse you?" Kim Tae-yeon wouldn't normally ask this question, but she suddenly thought of Starship, which didn't even reimburse vocal lessons, and realized that there were still many strange things in this world.

"No way." Su Xia chuckled at Kim Tae-yeon. "This is a joint venture with an organization, just to make money off you, an intern lawyer. How could the Bar Association possibly reimburse it?"

"However, law firms usually reimburse these expenses."

"I'm talking about the law firm." Kim Tae-yeon rolled her eyes. "You lawyers are all so rich, what's wrong with making a little money from you?"

Su Xia's eyes widened.

"Look me in the eye and say it again: the lawyer is rich?!"

Kim Tae-yeon was instantly speechless.

Uh……

"Okay, I take back what I just said."

Others may not know, but this lawyer in front of me is dirt poor.

"Oh right, I've already connected with CJ, can I start taking GG now?" Su Xia's eyes were full of desire for money.

His fans praised lawyer Su Xia for focusing on his work and never taking on gigs or commercial jobs, but in reality, it was Kim Tae-yeon who kept Su Xia under control and prevented him from doing so.

Without Kim Tae-yeon's encouragement, Su Xia could have filled the shop window with 999+ items!

"Talk to your agent tomorrow, she'll handle it. It's not convenient for you to do the background check yourself, it'll be much safer if CJ MCN takes care of it."

This is the advantage of being backed by a large company; at least there isn't much risk involved in getting into Google.

Of course, sudden thunderstorms are unpredictable and unavoidable.

"I'll ask right now!"

Su Xia picked up her phone and dialed the number.

"Huh!" Kim Tae-yeon was surprised, not expecting Su Xia to be so decisive.

The phone was answered shortly after it rang.

Su Xia then recounted her own story.

"The company selecting GG and commercial orders is already expediting the screening process based on private messages sent to your Musical Notes account," Park Hee-min replied.

Su Xia doesn't need to mention it; they'll take care of it themselves.

Su Xia receives a significant share of the commissions from GG and CJ MCN, which is all money, so of course they care about it.

"That's fine then." Su Xia nodded. "When will the promotional trailer be released tomorrow?"

"8:00 AM Beijing time."

"So that's 9 o'clock here in Seoul?"

"Yes."

"Okay, goodnight."

"Good night."
