Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Practice room on the third floor of CJ Entertainment Building.

"Huh?" Liz, who was sprawled on the sofa, suddenly sat up while holding her phone. This action immediately attracted the attention of Jin Qiutian and Li Rui, who were playing on their phones next to her.

"What's wrong?" Jin Qiutian leaned closer and looked at Liz's phone screen.

"Su Xia oppa said he's going to Hong Kong in the middle to late part of this month to attend Jessica's concert. Don't we also have a concert in Hong Kong this week?"

"It seems like there is such a thing? I heard my classmates mention it, but we are numbers six and seven," Li Rui said after thinking for a moment.

"Call him over," Jin Qiutian said, nudging Liz.

"Huh?" Liz was taken aback and asked instinctively, "Where are you coming from?"

"Our Hong Kong concert," Jin Qiutian said with a smile, "I haven't officially met this great lawyer yet."

"Me too! Me too!" Li Rui shouted excitedly.

The loud voice immediately drew the attention of Ahn Yu-jin, who was kneading Naoi Rei's face.

"What are you talking about?"

"The lawyer Su Xia, who Liz unnie is working with, is going to attend Jessica's concert in the middle to late part of this month. In autumn, unnie suggested that Liz unnie invite lawyer Su Xia to our Hong Kong concert first." Li Rui told the three of them, who hadn't heard the juicy gossip yet, about the matter in a very fast voice.

To prepare for their Hong Kong concert this weekend, all six members of IVE got together for once.

"Huh?!" Upon hearing that it was Su Xia, An Youzhen's eyes widened immediately.

"Invite him! Invite him! I haven't met him yet!"

"I've never seen it either," Li Rui said with a grin.

"I saw him once, but I didn't look closely," Jin Qiutian added in her mind. "[I even thought he was schizophrenic.]"

"Is it that internet celebrity lawyer who collaborated with Liz on 'My Love'?" Zhang Yuanying asked curiously.

"Yes, that's him! He's absolutely gorgeous, and he's a perfect match for our Liz!" Ahn Yu-jin said cheerfully.

"Ani! We're just friends!" Liz exclaimed in surprise, quickly explaining.

However, the noisy crowd completely ignored her explanation.

Only those who instigate know how wronged the instigated person is.

"Then we can invite them." Zhang Yuanying's eyes crinkled, and an expectant look appeared on her face. "I've never met them before either."

"Is he Liz's boyfriend? Why is everyone so excited?" Naoi Rei asked blankly.

"Not now, and who knows what will happen in the future," Ahn Yoo-jin said with a grin, looking quite happy, like a dog that had just eaten a big chicken leg.

"Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret from Sona unnie!" Kim Qiu-tian, as the eldest sister, chimed in cheerfully.

"Oh my!" Liz blushed, not from shyness, but from anxiety.

"Su Xia oppa and I are really just friends, there's nothing more to it!"

"I understand, I understand." Ahn Yu-jin's knowing expression was like a critical hit straight to Liz's heart.

"Ahem." IVE's manager coughed, instantly cooling down the lively atmosphere, and everyone turned to look at the manager.

"Uh... Unnie, we were just kidding." Ahn Yu-jin didn't expect that she was actually listening when she was joking around with her manager, but as the leader, she could only bite the bullet and go along with it.

"I know you're joking." The manager reassured everyone not to be nervous. "We are aware of the relationship between Liz and Su Xiaxi."

Even though the two of them chatted in private, they had only known each other for a month at most. As her manager, Liz knew what kind of personality she had.

"However, I need to remind you that the company still maintains a strict attitude towards artists' relationships." The manager was aware of this, but still felt the need to remind them.

Starship is no pushover. Even with their immense popularity, Ahn Yoo-jin and Jang Won-young still hold little standing within the company. If they make a mistake, they won't let their fame make an exception for them.

Given Starship's track record, they will most likely use this as a reason to deduct from their settlement amount.

It would be awkward for her as the agent to be caught in the middle, so it's best to give her a heads-up.

"Yes!" x6.

Everyone's expressions turned serious, and they quickly responded.

The agent then looked at Liz.

"We can invite Su Xiaxi to participate in the concert, and we can also ask him to film a challenge segment."

Liz hesitated for a moment before saying, "Su Xia oppa is Chinese after all. It's not really appropriate for him to film a challenge with us, is it?"

The members were all taken aback, somewhat confused about what Liz meant, but the manager knew what she meant.

"It was indeed my oversight; I forgot about that." The agent rubbed his eyes. "Then you can decide for yourselves. If you're going to invite him, go through the company's channels. The company will issue an invitation to CJ Entertainment; you don't need to give him tickets privately."

"Inside."

"Yuan Ying, come with me for a moment. The rest of you can play by yourselves."

Zhang Yuanying stood up somewhat reluctantly; she hadn't eaten much melon yet.

Once the agent and Zhang Yuanying disappeared from the room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unnie!!!" Liz glared at Ahn Yu-jin, "That joke almost scared me to death!"

Ahn Yoo-jin gave a smirk.

"How could I have imagined that Sona unnie was standing right next to me?"

"We can't let her off the hook. Let's make Ahn Yoo-jin treat everyone to dinner," Kim Qiu-tian urged from the side.

Hearing her addressed by her full name, Ahn Yoo-jin instinctively wanted to retort, but upon seeing that it was Jin Qiutian, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Unnie is right! I agree!" Li Rui's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and said.

"I agree, hehe." Naoi Rei, who had been completely oblivious, finally heard clearly this time.

Youzhen is going to treat us to a meal, hehe.

"Alright, alright." Ahn Yoo-jin waved her hand dismissively. "This captain will reluctantly treat you to a meal."

"However..." Ahn Yu-jin's tone suddenly changed as she looked at Liz, "I still think we can invite Su Xia-xi to our concert. After all, he's a lawyer, and I'd really like to get to know a lawyer friend."

"Indeed." Jin Qiutian nodded in agreement; after all, this was a lawyer.

There's a saying that goes, "In one's life, it's best to have a lawyer friend, a doctor friend, and an accountant friend."

These correspond to law, health, and finance, respectively.

Not to mention that lawyers have a very high status in South Korea. As celebrities, they have only paid for lawyers, and very few of them have lawyer friends.

"Me! Me! Me too!" Li Rui raised her hand to join in the fun. She didn't have the same thoughts as Jin Qiutian; she simply said, "Me too."

"I'm fine with anything," Naoi Rei said with a smile, her smile making her look like an empress dowager.

"Very good, then it passes unanimously!" Ahn Yoo-jin announced with a wave of her hand.

Zhang Yuanying, who was absent: "?"
