Peninsula: My mentor Kim Tae-yeon

Chapter 92 There are always some things (8k)

This wasn't Su Xia's first time at STARSHIP Entertainment's practice room, but every time she came, she was always amazed by what she saw there.

It was so cramped that I was speechless.

Kim Tae-yeon said that most girl group practice rooms are of this size, it's just that CJ Entertainment gave her a big practice room.

But every time Su Xia saw the stark contrast in the size of the practice room, she couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

"You—uh—please sit down first, what would you like to drink?" Jin Qiutian swallowed back the polite words that were on the tip of his tongue after meeting Su Xia's threatening gaze.

I don't understand.

Many people she's met expect the whole world to speak honorifics to them, but none are like Su Xia who forces others to speak to her in plain language.

"Cola, iced," Su Xia said, nodding in satisfaction when Jin Qiutian changed her mind.

I took a bottle of blue cola out of the refrigerator.

"Is it okay if I only have Pepsi, not Coca-Cola?" Jin Qiutian asked, grabbing a bottle of mineral water for herself and a Pepsi in her other hand.

"It doesn't matter, I don't have any special requirements. It would be best if there was Coca-Cola, but it's okay if there isn't," Su Xia said, taking the Pepsi.

"Our endorsement period hasn't ended yet, and we occasionally film in the practice room, so everything here is Pepsi." Although Su Xia didn't seem to care, Jin Qiutian still explained.

Her explanation only made things worse; it brought to mind the catchy, almost hypnotic rap from the Pepsi GG song by Li Ruina.

I couldn't help but laugh.

Su Xia smiled, and before Kim Tae-yeon could react, Kim Qiu-tian also laughed.

"You didn't think of the maknae, did you?" Kim Qiu-tian asked with a smile.

"See, you knew even without me saying it." Su Xia laughed even harder, and Li Rui started rapping—

Hahahahahahaha!

Kim Tae-yeon finally realized what was happening.

So it was Li Rui's "god-level" rap!

"Pfft!"

Kim Tae-yeon couldn't hold back either.

If you can listen to Li Rui's rap without laughing, you can be diagnosed with Yu Yu.

"The maknae (youngest member) still minds, so it's best not to mention it in front of her," Jin Qiutian reminded Su Xia, suppressing a laugh.

He has frequent contact with IIVE, so he might bring up this matter. It's better to be on the safe side.

"However, it's okay to say it when you're in a good mood."

"No one can stand it when someone brings up their past hurts when they're in a bad mood, I understand." Su Xia nodded with a smile. You can't touch a little girl's dark past, you know what I mean.

Jin Qiutian smiled and nodded.

"What time does the live stream start tonight?"

"Eight o'clock."

"Perfect timing." Su Xia nodded. "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be going now."

After saying that, before Jin Qiutian could even react, he had already dashed off in a flash.

Jin Qiutian stood there, his face full of doubt.

Suddenly so energetic and bustling—

"Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

Kim Tae-yeon floated in the air, following behind Su Xia and asked curiously.

"It's my birthday this autumn, and I didn't prepare a birthday present!" Su Xia said as she walked quickly.

"Wow, you can even think of something like this?" Kim Tae-yeon's surprised voice came from behind.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, what should I send?"

"Ask me? Ask Chestnut, isn't she a ready-made helper?" Kim Tae-yeon looked at Su Xia's back of the head as if she were an idiot.

"Oh right!" Su Xia paused abruptly, pressed the elevator button, and dialed Liz's number.

The call was answered shortly after it rang.

"Anyo, Susha oppa~~" Liz's cheerful voice came through the receiver.

"What does autumn like? It's her birthday today, and I forgot to prepare a gift."

"Huh? So you didn't prepare a gift? You didn't mention a gift when we were together last time, I thought you had already prepared one." Liz's surprised voice came over.

"Uh, I didn't think that much about it at the time." Su Xia coughed awkwardly. "Can you give me some advice?"

"Autumn unnie loves collecting perfumes. She has a cabinet at home dedicated to displaying all kinds of perfumes, so perfume would be a good gift," Liz replied. Having spent so much time together, she knew exactly what her teammates liked if she paid attention.

"What perfumes does she own? What should I get as a gift?" Since I'm already asking, I might as well get to the bottom of it.

"Let me look." Liz fiddled with her phone for a while. "I sent you the photos. It's a collection of perfume photos I took at Qiu Tian's house last month. Just eliminate these."

"Okay, thank you."

"Go and get ready."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xia opened the photos Liz had sent.

The dazzling array of perfumes, each bottle occupying its own small square, is more complete than any ordinary perfume shop could offer in Jinqiu.

Su Xia was overwhelmed by the sights and could only turn to Kim Tae-yeon for help.

"Her perfumes—" Kim Tae-yeon raised an eyebrow. "Not many international big brands, mostly niche brands, many of which I can't even name."

Some people prefer to use perfumes from international luxury brands, while others prefer perfumes from niche domestic brands.

"Where am I supposed to find her a perfume from a niche brand?" Su Xia asked in surprise.

"She just likes collecting perfumes from niche brands; that doesn't mean she uses those perfumes." Kim Tae-yeon shook her head. "Do you remember the second time you met Chestnut?"

'

Su Xia looked at Kim Tae-yeon blankly.

"It was the first time you two sat down to eat together." Kim Tae-yeon looked at him speechlessly. "I remember it all, don't you?"

"Oh, I remember now." Su Xia nodded in realization. "What happened that time?"

"Do you remember when you talked about perfume?"

Kim Tae-yeon's reminder made Su Xia realize what was going on.

"Was it Bulgari back then?"

Kim Tae-yeon snapped her fingers.

"Chestnut said the rose quartz perfume she's using was a gift from a member. Who do you think it could be?"

"Autumn?" Su Xia asked tentatively.

Bingo.

"The perfumes that girls give to their best friends are usually ones they've used and really like. And in our group, there's someone like Qiutian who's a perfume collector. Even if it wasn't her who gave it to me, I'll definitely ask her about it. It's like if you're buying a car and you have a friend who's a car enthusiast, wouldn't you ask him for advice before you choose a car?"

Su Xia nodded in agreement. She would definitely ask him a question, even if she didn't necessarily adopt his suggestion.

"So, give me something from this series, except for the rose quartz. It might not be the most perfect gift, but it's definitely a safe bet."

"Awesome." Su Xia gave Kim Tae-yeon a thumbs up.

"Go ahead and learn it," Kim Tae-yeon said, looking down at Su Xia.

What else is there to say?

Bulgari, Let's go!

Carrying the Bulgari bag back to the company, I had only been in the waiting room for a short while when I saw Park Hee-min walk in.

"Boss, are you going to participate in Jinqiutian's birthday live stream event?" Park Hee-min asked Su Xia with a serious expression.

Su Xia was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Is that so? What happened?"

Park Hee-min sighed.

"Can I cancel?"

Su Xia frowned.

Why cancel it?

"Mnet received a message from the MMA organizing committee that IVE's 'Heya' will be nominated for Best Music Video at both this year's MMA and MMA. Although it won't win every single one, it will definitely win one."

"You should be aware of the negative impact this song's music video had in China."

Su Xia understood.

So this song is actually a mission?

"What does this have to do with me?" Su Xia asked, puzzled. It wasn't his song.

"You've gotten too close to IVE, and your current size has reached the red line of having enormous influence. Once public opinion is ignited, it will be an unprecedented crisis."

"Is it that serious?" Su Xia asked, frowning.

"Yes." This time it was Kim Tae-yeon who spoke. "My problem is that I also overlooked the year-end awards ceremony. The influence of 'Heya' has indeed decreased, but it's not gone. If you were just a small influencer, it would be fine, but you are not. If you continue to maintain a high-density connection with IVE, you will definitely be blown up by public opinion."

"But I've already promised Starship," Su Xia said hesitantly.

"We can terminate the cooperation by sending a letter from the company," Park Hee-min suggested as a solution.

Su Xia remained silent, her brows furrowed in a frown.

He had promised Jin Qiutian.

Park Hee-min looked at Su Xia with confusion, wondering why she hesitated.

Starship didn't offer any benefits; the cooperation was agreed upon purely out of friendship. Now that a potential public relations crisis has arisen, isn't it the choice any normal person would make to simply refuse and avoid the crisis?

Kim Tae-yeon, however, knew what Su Xia was hesitating about.

He is a person who values ​​his promises. Once he has made a promise to Jin Qiutian, he will do his best to fulfill it.

"The boss?"

"You go out first, I'll think about it myself," Su Xia said in a deep voice.

Park Hee-min opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed the words back.

"Okay, let me know when you've thought it through."

Park Hee-min left the waiting room, completely bewildered.

The huge waiting room was now empty except for Kim Tae-yeon and Su Xia, who were the only two people present.

"What should I do?" Su Xia raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and expectation, looking at Kim Tae-yeon, the person who had changed the course of his life.

"Rationally speaking, Park Hee-min is right. With two months left until the end of November, cutting ties with IVE in the public eye as soon as possible will better protect your career."

"Once public opinion explodes, even the best public relations team will find it difficult to recover the losses immediately; at best, they can only mitigate them."

The expectation in Su Xia's eyes gradually faded.

"Do you also want me to reject autumn?"

"No." Kim Tae-yeon laughed. "No one can remain rational all the time in their life. I can't, and neither can you."

"What I'm trying to say is that I've told you both the pros and cons. You can't always rely on others to make decisions. Trust your own inner voice."

Kim Tae-yeon approached Su Xia, stood in front of him, and extended her right index finger, touching Su Xia's chest, where his heart was.

"Do what you think in your heart."

Kim Tae-yeon's fingertips remained intangible, easily piercing through Su Xia's chest, but this time—

He seemed to feel a slight warmth.

the other side.

STARSHIP Entertainment, in the IVE practice room.

Jin Qiutian listened quietly to her manager Unnie's description.

"In short, the company has achieved its goal in producing 'Heya,' and this news has been confirmed. It will definitely win an award at the end of the year. Since MAMA is hosted by CJ Entertainment, it means that Su Xia has also received the news."

"The company expects an email from CJMCN to arrive soon, and it's highly likely you'll be attending the birthday event by yourself tonight," the manager said regretfully.

I originally wanted to ride on Su Xia's popularity, but who would have thought this news would come at such an inopportune time.

It really is————

"I understand, thank you, unnie." Kim Qiu-ti nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Hmm." The agent looked at Jin Qiutian, wanting to suggest that she try to persuade Su Xia to come over, but the words caught in her throat.

Jin Qiutian didn't want to do this in the first place, and the company had already given up, so there was no need to force Jin Qiutian anymore.

"Get ready."

"Inside."

Jin Qiu bowed to her manager's departing figure, and only straightened up after hearing the practice room door close.

Her face was expressionless, as if the conversation hadn't affected her at all. However, her slightly trembling hands betrayed that her emotions were not as calm as they appeared.

Seoul time, 8 PM.

Jin Qiutian, who was already waiting in the dedicated live streaming room, started her live stream on time.

Fans who had already received the live stream announcement were already waiting in the live stream room, and immediately sent their support to Jin Qiutian through the barrage of comments after the broadcast started.

Jin Qiutian also showed her best self while chatting with fans.

"Did the members send their blessings?" Jin Qiutian looked at this comment, picked up her phone, and scrolled through her Instagram.

The company posted a birthday message on their behalf using their Instagram account, and the other members of IVE have already left comments below.

"I received all the members' messages," Jin Qiutian said, replying to each member's well wishes.

He then put down his phone and continued looking at the comments.

"Will you meet up with your friends after the broadcast?" Jin Qiutian laughed after reading this comment. "Aren't we friends? We're meeting up right now."

After saying this, Jin Qiutian was stunned.

friend----

Wasn't this what Su Xia had told him?

Jin Qiutian then laughed.

I didn't realize I was still thinking about this.

Sure enough, that's just how people are.

Even though you know it won't happen, you still hold onto a sliver of hope, expecting it to happen.

If I were in Attorney Su's shoes, I wouldn't have come either.

Who would risk their career with such a huge risk?

Honestly, when did I start having such unrealistic ideas?

They're all adults, yet their thinking is so childish.

Jin Qiu smiled slightly and continued chatting with her fans.

Time passed little by little, and half an hour had already passed since the broadcast began.

"Events — I have some plans for next month, but not this month. I'm going to Europe for a trip, and I'll give you a live update on my itinerary once I land."

"Where are you planning to go? Hmm—how about Germany first? I really want to go to Germany."

Jin Qiutian paused mid-sentence, her gaze fixed on the interface only she could see, where a line of text was displayed.

[I'm the craziest on Green Grassland, requesting a live stream connection]

This is in Chinese, but she recognized these seven characters. This is Su Xia's private Instagram account, not his officially verified main account. It's his everyday Instagram account.

But----

Why?

Before Jin Qiutian could think it over, the PD couldn't help but notice that she hadn't answered the call. He thought Su Xia wouldn't come, but who would have thought he would still come.

He didn't care about public opinion or anything like that, since it wouldn't affect him, and immediately used his backend privileges to take over.

The next second, the live broadcast room, which was originally in the golden autumn, was suddenly split in two, and Su Xia's bare face, which she was too lazy to even put on makeup, appeared in the right view.

"Hey, autumn's the start of the broadcast, happy birthday!" Su Xia's flippant voice, accompanied by a smile on his face, rang in the ears of Jin Qiutian and the fans in the live broadcast room.

Jin Qiu stared intently at Su Xia in the picture, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"You—what are you doing here?"

Viewers thought Jin Qiutian was surprised by Su Xia's sudden live stream connection, but in reality, Jin Qiutian was asking Su Xia why she would take the risk to connect with her.

Upon hearing Jin Qiutian's words, Su Xia's smile widened even more.

"I was scrolling through my messages when I saw you were live streaming. As a friend, shouldn't I wish you a happy birthday in person?"

Su Xia's tone was still so flippant, but to Jin Qiutian's ears, it sounded like the gentlest words in the world.

friend----

They're just friends, why did things have to come to this?

Jin Qiutian was filled with questions.

For the first time, she considered what Su Xia would do, thinking he would refuse to cooperate with her, because no one would do something without benefit.

Su Xia told her that they were friends, and friends don't need to talk about interests in everything.

She considered Su Xia's actions a second time and concluded that Su Xia would protect himself and distance himself from her and IVE in the public eye to avoid being affected by them, as this would impact his career and interests.

Su Xia appeared in front of her and told her that they were friends, and friends should keep their promises.

Why?

Jin Qiutian didn't understand.

Isn't friendship a prerequisite for making a deal, a word that seems sentimental but is actually devoid of any genuine feelings and is full of calculation and self-interest?

Jin Qiutian has true friends besides the members, but those people have no vested interests with her; it is a pure friendship untainted by any self-interest.

But Su Xia is not that kind of person.

His interests are intertwined with his own, forming a community of shared interests that can sometimes benefit each other.

Such "friends" are nothing more than business partners.

Therefore, Jin Qiutian was not angry when she learned that Su Xia might not come. In her opinion, they were just business partners, not true friends, so why should she be angry?

What's more, she's the one taking advantage of Su Xia.

But----

Jin Qiutian looked at Su Xia, who was all smiles in the picture.

He appeared.

He showed up in my live stream, appearing in my live stream room, greeting me in the same familiar way as always, without any attempt to hide anything.

Did he really not know the potential public opinion that this might cause?

No, he definitely knew.

But he still came.

Su Xia looked at Jin Qiutian, who was clearly stunned, through the screen, and her smile deepened.

He certainly didn't have to come.

But there's no limit to how much fire can be made, and you can never earn all the money in the world.

There are always things we do even though we know we shouldn't do them after weighing the pros and cons.

After weighing the pros and cons over and over, reason acts like a harsh judge, listing reasons why it shouldn't be done: too risky, no reward, or even causing trouble and affecting one's career.

But when Kim Tae-yeon's fingertips touched her own beating heart, every beat of it was a clear and real reminder to her.

I am a living, breathing human being, not a cold, lifeless machine.

Perhaps this is life. Not every choice has to perfectly align with the standard of profit. Those moments of "knowing it's impossible but still doing it" reveal our most vibrant and uncompromising selves.

So, he came.

I chose to keep the promise because it seemed foolish.

After a moment of stunned silence, Jin Qiutian across from them smiled, a very happy smile that anyone could sense from her joy.

A genuine, heartfelt smile is most like spring. Summer's sweltering heat and cicadas' chirping, autumn's falling leaves and wind, winter's harsh cold and snow—but spring is truly special.

A smile heralds the revival of all things.

That was the gentlest season, and also the most beautiful season.

"Welcome to my—"

"Friends".

CJ Entertainment Building.

In the conference room, Park Hee-min rested her chin on her hand and watched the scene with a smile on her face.

"Our boss is really quite capricious." Old Jin yawned, leaning back in his chair and chirping Su Xia.

"But isn't a boss like that even better?" Park Hee-min said with a smile.

Old Jin laughed when he heard this.

"Yes, cold-hearted bosses are prone to laying off employees at any time if their interests are threatened. Bosses with a human touch like him are rare."

"That's why I didn't insist on stopping him," Park Hee-min continued. "I still don't understand why he did it, but I'm sure it would be very comfortable to work under him."

"Hahaha!" Old Jin burst out laughing. "Are you saying that boss Lee Dong-wook is difficult to deal with?"

"Dong Wook is a good artist, but it's clear that STARSHIP isn't a good company." Park Hee-min curled her lip, harboring deep resentment towards her former company.

"I'm not going to say anything more, I need to go to the ninth floor," Park Hee-min said, standing up.

"To the public relations department?" Old Kim asked Park Hee-min in surprise.

"Shouldn't we have to deal with the mess left by a boss with a human touch?" Park Hee-min shook his head helplessly. "This kind of thing is beyond the capabilities of the MCN department; the company's public relations department needs to get involved."

"Tsk tsk, things are going to get busy again." Old Jin clicked his tongue. "I'm going to ask the boss for a raise later!"

All team personnel expenses are deducted from Su Xia's settlement; CJMCN obviously does not provide salary expenses for its partners.

"I want my share to go up too." Park Hee-min nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, time to get to work."

"bye."

Old Kim watched Park Hee-min leave the meeting room, then lay back down contentedly.

He likes to lie here when he has nothing to do, and he's been doing that for many years.

Although Su Xia came, she didn't stay on the live stream for long, only about ten minutes before leaving.

Jin Qiutian's birthday live stream was scheduled for 70 minutes, but after Su Xia left, it lasted for another half hour before ending.

After leaving the live stream room and returning to the practice room, I saw my assistant sitting on the sofa playing on his phone.

"Autumn." Upon seeing Jin Qiutian, the assistant quickly stood up, picked up the package beside her, and walked over.

"This is a local express package from CJ Entertainment, it's for you."

"Thank you." Jin Qiutian took the package and looked at the sender.

"Shall I go now?"

"Um.

""

The sender's name was only "Su", but Jin Qiutian had already guessed the sender's identity.

After the assistant left, he slowly opened the package.

What comes into view is a Bulgari handbag.

Jin Qiutian curiously took out the packaging box, opened it, and immediately recognized it as a Bulgari perfume.

"Ms. Bai Jing," she murmured, clearly recognizing her.

As a perfume enthusiast, she has tried almost all of these luxury brand perfumes. Although her home collection consists of perfumes from niche brands, she uses these luxury brands for everyday life.

She especially liked Bulgari's gemstone collection and gave a bottle to each of the members. She gave Liz the Rose Quartz Lady, but she didn't give the White Quartz Lady that Su Xia gave her to any of the members.

The fragrance of Ms. Bai Jing is fresh and elegant, and it is one of the perfumes she uses herself.

Did Liz tell Attorney Su?

As Jin Qiutian held the bottle of white crystal, a guess came to mind.

No, it shouldn't be.

He shook his head slightly after a moment.

She has many perfumes on her dressing table, at least five, which she chooses randomly based on her mood each day. Even she herself doesn't know what perfume she will wear the next day.

So—is it a coincidence?

A slight smile appeared on Jin Qiutian's lips.

Sometimes, a chance encounter can be more interesting than a carefully chosen one.

"Su Xia."

This person seems to have a lot of personality.

"Wow?" Su Xia was shocked by the people in the room as soon as she entered the conference room.

"A joint trial by three courts?" Su Xia said with a smile.

"I've seen these people before; they're from the public relations department," Kim Tae-yeon said, leaning closer to the unfamiliar faces opposite Park Hee-min and scrutinizing them before providing the key information.

Public Relations Department?

Su Xia's expression shifted.

"Attorney Su, you're joking." Several people stood up, and the one who spoke was the man sitting in the middle. "Hello, Attorney Su, this is Jin Zhenyu from the Public Relations Department."

Seeing the other person's outstretched right hand, Su Xia didn't put on airs and shook hands with them.

"Su Xia".

Su Xia then sat down in the seat that had clearly been reserved for him.

"Why did you call me here?" Su Xia asked Park Hee-min.

He was chatting with Liz in the waiting room when Park Hee-min called him over.

"Regarding the issue of public opinion control," Park Hee-min explained, "Since the incident has already occurred, what we need to do is prevent public opinion from escalating. I've invited a colleague from the public relations department to explain this to you."

Su Xia nodded and then looked at Jin Zhenyu and the others.

"It seems they're not here to interrogate us," Kim Tae-yeon said, sitting cross-legged on the conference table and nodding.

Su Xia's eyelids twitched.

They sat down around the conference table, with Kim Tae-yeon sitting on it, talking to Guanyin, who was like a servant girl.

Unfortunately, others couldn't see Kim Tae-yeon, nor were they aware of her arrogance.

"Before offering any specific solutions, I'd like to ask Attorney Su's thoughts," Jin Zhenyu said with a smile. "Would Attorney Su be willing to avoid public contact with IVE?"

"I mean no contact, not cutting off."

No contact means no more public interaction; you can do whatever you want in private.

Cutting ties means publicly distancing yourself from IVE and never having anything to do with them again. It's a bit better than a complete falling out, but it's not much better.

"Okay." Su Xia nodded readily. His frequent interactions with IVE were not actually meant to show the public how good his relationship with IVE was. What did it matter whether the fans knew about this?

He kept doing this purely to cover up his increasingly intimate relationship with Liz.

On the one hand, it's to prevent fans from finding out, and on the other hand, it's to prevent both companies from finding out.

Now that we've pretty much achieved our goal, we can choose to lower the temperature.

"Okay." Jin Zhenyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that he could accept it.

"Since you're willing to avoid public contact, the follow-up will be much simpler." Kim Jin-woo's face showed the confidence he had when handling business in his area of ​​expertise.

"We have [the following] regarding eliminating the crisis in terms of public opinion."

"Stop." Su Xia raised her hand to stop Jin Zhenyu.

Jin Zhenyu looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"You don't need to tell me how to do it. You're a professional. Leave professional matters to professionals. I only care about the results," Su Xia waved her hand and said.

Jin Zhenyu was clearly taken aback for a moment, but then he laughed.

"Attorney Su is indeed extraordinary."

All the manuscript he had prepared was now useless, but Jin Zhenyu was even happier.

A boss who doesn't get involved in matters of expertise, and who's even too lazy to ask questions—

He's truly a god in the hearts of working people!!!

"Please rest assured, we guarantee that we will not let any negative associations with IVE's 'heya' affect you."

"Hmm, is there anything else?" Su Xia asked Park Hee-min.

"There are still some scheduling issues." Park Hee-min glanced at Kim Jin-woo and the others, who immediately understood.

"Then let's go back and prepare."

Take care.

After Kim Jin-woo and the others left, Park Hee-min began to talk about the upcoming schedule.

"Besides these regular schedules, I'll be doing product promotions starting next month," Park Hee-min reminded her.

"Live-streaming sales, huh?" Su Xia frowned. "How often do you do it?"

"Once a month, considering the image issue, it's best not to solidify the persona of someone who's just trying to make money so quickly."

Once a month is fine.

"Okay." Su Xia agreed, already mentally prepared to sell the goods.

The main problem is that they haven't been selling products, so they haven't been making enough money. Su Xia doesn't care, but CJMCN wouldn't be happy about it.

"Then I'll coordinate with the relevant departments later." Park Hee-min breathed a sigh of relief when Su Xia agreed.

If Su Xia is unwilling, then she can't force her; she'll have to run between the two sides and persuade them.

"Did you hire those guys just now?"

"Inside."

"They seem quite professional, why would they be willing to help us?" Su Xia asked curiously.

To everyone's surprise, Park Hee-min's expression turned strange.

"They are not helping us."

"What do you mean?"

"You have to pay."

Su Xia: "?"

So this is a paid service!

I should have listened to the proposal.

What a huge loss!
