Chapter 65 Compromise

Whether the seemingly hidden Kim Nam-guk is a true lover is not the point. The point is that although his analysis is reasonable and well-founded, G-Dragon does not really believe it. But he just doesn't believe it. If you ask him to find a specific reason, G-Dragon can't find one. In the end, he can only be skeptical and comfort himself by saying that he is overthinking it.

But even so, Quan Zhilong still resisted calling Jingrong. Why was he the only one struggling with this? Sometimes when you like someone, you feel a mixture of love and hate.

Jing Rong was in mixed feelings. As soon as she parted with Zhang Jingran and entered their respective offices, she began to resume her usual expressionless face. People with few expressions are always difficult to guess their moods, but this is only true for people who are not familiar with them. Secretary Lin has been with Jing Rong for such a long time and has spent more time with her than anyone else. She has long understood Jing Rong's temperament. For example, although her boss is meticulous at work, he is not so harsh as to be outrageous. The executives of Xue's headquarters still don't quite understand the habits of their eldest daughter who will inherit the company sooner or later. They have only heard that she is very strict and difficult to deal with, but they didn't expect her to be so unpredictable. On the first day at work, more than half of the executives almost cried. Countless people began to pray silently that President Xue, who had gone on vacation with Mrs. Xue, would come back soon. They really couldn't bear it!

Assistant Xu and Secretary Lin, who was holding a pile of documents, met unexpectedly. They walked towards Jingrong's office while chatting. Just as they reached the door, Director Yuan, who was considered the company's number one golden bachelor before Assistant Zhang came, came out with a stiff face. Secretary Lin was embarrassed to look at the face that was always gentle and made people feel warm when smiling, but now had such a terrible expression. Director Yuan did not expect that he would be caught before he could adjust his expression. He forced a smile at them awkwardly and left in a hurry.

Assistant Xu watched the former director's departing figure and sighed, "The president's aura is getting stronger and stronger. Even a young talent like the former director finds it difficult to withstand it."

Secretary Lin stared at Assistant Xu stiffly. "Are you serious? Are you really serious? The president is clearly upset, and everyone's suffering. And as an assistant, how could you not see that and still worship such a president?!" Secretary Lin suddenly felt that the world was becoming unreal.

The two exchanged glances, each arranging their expressions. Secretary Lin then knocked on the door solemnly. After entering, as usual, Secretary Lin would report on her work first and leave. After sorting the documents and handing them to Jing Rong, Secretary Lin said, "President, our colleagues said that we're planning to have a party tonight to celebrate your joining us at the headquarters."

"We can have a party, but I don't have time today." Jing Rong glanced at Assistant Xu and asked gently, "Assistant Xu hasn't been to G.R. yet, right?"

"Yes, I just heard Secretary Lin mention it."

"How about this, Secretary Lin, please inform everyone that I'll treat everyone tomorrow night and then we'll go to the G.R. party together."

"Okay!" Secretary Lin's face was slightly beaming. Although she had always known that G.R. was the bar opened by her boss, she had been deterred by its high prices. Now that she could finally go, how could she not be happy? Moreover, as far as she knew, G.R. was the place where her idol and her boss had fallen in love, so it held extraordinary significance.

"If you have nothing else to do, Secretary Lin, please go back and get busy."

Secretary Lin looked at Assistant Xu hesitantly, then looked at Jing Rong, and finally lowered her head and said, "...Yes." With that, she turned and left.

After Assistant Xu finished reporting his work to Jing Rong and was about to leave, Jing Rong suddenly asked, "Assistant Xu, have you encountered anything interesting in the past two days?"

"...What does the president mean?" Assistant Xu asked in confusion.

Jing Rong stared at his expression for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Just asking casually. I have something I'd like to ask Assistant Xu for help with."

"You say."

Jing Rong handed over the newspaper that Secretary Lin had placed unnoticeably on his desk this morning: "Help me find out who wrote this news." Kiko Mizuhara could guess that this was planned by someone, and Jing Rong could certainly guess it too. Although Kiko Mizuhara's affairs had nothing to do with her, in order to prove her guess, she still planned to find out what was going on. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle, right?

As for why she didn't let Secretary Lin, who had been with her longer, do this kind of thing, Jing Rong had her own considerations. One was that Secretary Lin was a girl and was relatively simple. She always told Jing Rong everything. Although Jing Rong didn't say anything, he sometimes treated her as a junior and took care of her. He knew that she was not suitable for getting involved in these things. Another point was that Secretary Lin was a die-hard fan of G-Dragon. As for the extent of her fandom, Jing Rong didn't want to take the risk of proving who was more important, his position in her heart or her idol, so she simply didn't let her know anything.

After much calculation, it turned out that Assistant Xu was the most suitable person. She recruited him without anyone else's help, and he had her label on him. This young boy had rich experience. He was a student union officer in college. Although he had not been exposed to some unspoken rules, he understood them. He was a rookie and had a quick mind and ambition to succeed. Such talents were most suitable for training, so Jing Rong was happy to let him handle even these personal matters.

The so-called assistant, in fact, Assistant Xu was already working as a personal assistant. To him, Jing Rong was a mentor who appreciated him and gave him a golden opportunity. Whether out of gratitude or practical reasons, he would not let Jing Rong down. As for what Yang Yang said about G-Dragon "winning over" her assistant secretary, Jing Rong had just tested it. Assistant Xu might not tell her about this, but he would definitely not play dumb when she asked.

After Assistant Xu left, he carefully closed the door for her. Jing Rong twirled the pen in her hand. The only explanation was that Quan Zhilong was testing her through the Hand of the Sun. Jing Rong narrowed her eyes unconsciously. It seemed that he had noticed something...

So what should she do next? Glancing at the newspaper spread out on the table, Jing Rong's eyes flashed darkly. Maybe she could complete the task and go home early. Why was he so sure? Because Jing Rong knew that Quan Zhilong was really into it. Otherwise, with that man's arrogance, if he found out that his girlfriend was not right, he would not just test it silently. He would either talk it out completely, or make a big fuss to let her taste the depression and discomfort, or if he got even angrier, he would just walk away. He would not come back unless she begged him to stay behind his back. Anyway, with his personality, no matter what, he would not be able to endure it like this, act as if nothing had happened in front of her, and then suffer alone when he was alone.

What does it mean when a proud man begins to learn to endure, to give in, and to simply turn a blind eye when he doesn't want to accept a certain outcome? But for Jingrong, Quan Zhilong's unprecedented reaction is just the beginning. Once he starts to give in, he will give in step by step until there is no more room for him to retreat.

Secretary Lin felt a bit depressed. After observing her all morning, she finally confirmed that her boss was truly in a bad mood, a very bad one. She'd tortured the entire senior management team to the point of exhaustion. When had this boss, known for her restraint and a clear distinction between public and private life, ever been so emotionally exposed? But then, thinking back to the video she'd received yesterday, she began to understand her boss a little. While her idol seemed unattainable, given her boss's circumstances, it wasn't always clear who was better off. Besides, everyone was equal in love. It wasn't enough for the idol and his long-rumored girlfriend to just be squabbling on screen; the video had even reached the boss, the real owner. Who could possibly tolerate this? Furthermore, with their boss's stature, he'd probably never experienced such sullenness in his entire life.

Secretary Lin understood Jing Rong. She knew that with her boss's pride, she wouldn't be able to confront her idol with the video. She was even so frustrated that she vomited blood. As long as her idol didn't say anything, she would definitely not take the initiative to speak! Secretary Lin sighed deeply. It turned out that IQ and EQ were not proportional. If it were her, if she dared to make her depressed even a little, she would definitely make her feel uncomfortable.

However, when she woke up in the morning and found out about the exciting news, she quickly bought the latest entertainment newspaper and even folded that page and put it on top to ensure that her boss would see it at a glance. Could it be that her boss is actually a jealous person, and even such explosive news cannot soothe her wounded heart from yesterday?

Secretary Lin spent the entire morning working diligently and occasionally daydreaming. After lunch, she had hoped to try her luck chatting with Jing Rong, suggesting, for example, that she had something up on Twitter and that she had tagged her to find some interesting news, which would surely delight her. However, she waited at the door of Jing Rong's office for a long time. Jing Rong, who usually rested after lunch, arrived right at the office hour this time. Seeing her secretary lingering at the door, Jing Rong asked, "Secretary Lin, is there anything I can do for you?"

Secretary Lin was a little embarrassed: "Ah, there are no more..."

"Then go back to work." Jing Rong said calmly, "I'll go."

"Oh, okay!" Secretary Lin bowed to Jingrong and returned to his office.

Jing Rong went out to eat with Zhang Jingran at noon. They chatted a lot while eating, so they came back so late. As soon as she returned to the office, Jing Rong took the address and account number given to her by Assistant Xu and logged into the TVXQ fan forum. She came across it when she came back from lunch. Assistant Xu gave it to her. It is said that there are very interesting secrets in it. Moreover, the TVXQ fan forum is no longer open to the public. The members in it are all old fans of a high level. New members must have an invitation code sent by a veteran member in person to join. Therefore, the information in it is basically authoritative. As for getting this account, it was Assistant Xu who begged his childhood sweetheart, who is a senior fairy queen, for it.

As soon as she logged into the private forum, Jing Rong was stunned by the pinned photo. It was indeed a high-level fan forum, so awesome that Jing Rong was overwhelmed. She originally thought that nothing had happened after so many days, and no one should have noticed anything wrong, but she didn't expect that everyone on this forum was actually the truth teller. That night at g·r, the carnival of the five brothers of TVXQ, and her interaction with Jung Yunho were all photographed, even photos at the airport were included. The moderator specially put these photos in a section for people to visit. There was a row of likes or howling messages in the audience, and of course more people were discussing who the heroine was.

The person taking the photo was likely a die-hard fan, not only open to the idea of ​​their idol having a girlfriend, but even somewhat happy for him. Those who stayed to support Jung Yunho despite the group's disbandment are definitely true fans, aware that their idol carries a heavy burden, and that having someone who cares for him and loves him is naturally much better than being alone. Because they unconditionally support their idol's decision and understand they likely don't want it public, the person taking the photo deliberately blurred the woman in the photo, just enough to make it clear that the photos are of the same woman.

At the end of the photo, the person who provided the photo said from the bottom of his heart, "I uploaded these photos not to share gossip with everyone, I just want to share with everyone the joy of my male god finally finding happiness. Of course, I also want to give my friends a shot of prevention. We can't interfere with other people's actions, but at least we can be ourselves. I hope that one day when they finally decide to make it public, they will not react too strongly and hurt the most precious him. So if you want to ask me who the heroine is, my answer is that I didn't see it clearly, but if you want to ask if the other party is suitable for Doubao and whether she is worthy of him, I think it is They're a good match. Although I don't know them well, I can tell she has a good personality, comes from a good family, and isn't high-profile. Plus, you can tell from the photos that when she's with him, Doubao smiles effortlessly and without pressure—actually, my expectations aren't high; as long as Mrs. Zheng can achieve this, that's enough. Besides, the other brothers have a good relationship with this girl and seem supportive. Most importantly, are you moved to see the five of them finally reunite? I was deeply moved. Although we couldn't openly reunite, at least their attitude spoke volumes. I can't help but speculate that this girl gave Doubao the courage to finally take the stage."

When Assistant Xu came in to look for Jingrong, Jingrong had just finished reading the post and hadn't closed it yet. Assistant Xu glanced at the computer screen and smiled, "President..."

"Can't these photos be deleted?"

"I've contacted the forum owner, and he promised not to spread it, but he also refused to delete it."

Jing Rong knocked on the table with half-closed eyes. Assistant Xu quickly added, "But President, this forum is absolutely secretive. They have very high requirements for members. You should have seen so many exclusive news, each of which shocked half of the entertainment industry. But there has been no outside spread. This shows that the guarantee of their forum owner is valid."

Jing Rong knew Assistant Xu's concerns and nodded: "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you."

Assistant Xu smiled shyly before handing over the document in his hand: "This document needs your signature."

Secretary Lin spent most of the afternoon observing her boss's mood. She concluded that he was still in a bad mood. Finally, she couldn't help herself and sent a private message to her idol just before leaving get off work - "The president has been gloomy all day today!!"

G-Dragon had just finished his trip and as soon as he got into his car and took out his phone, he received this private message and quickly replied - "Do you know what the reason is?"

Secretary Lin bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head. "I'm not sure... but the president is really in a bad mood. It's obvious!"

Quan Zhilong was deeply troubled by Secretary Lin's numerous questions. He thought to himself that if even Secretary Lin was so unstable, how worried would his girlfriend be? He no longer cared about secretly competing with Jingrong and hurriedly called. The first ring went unanswered, but Quan Zhilong didn't give up. He called again two minutes later, and this time Jingrong answered quickly.

"Sorry, my phone is in the office. I was out for a while."

"It's okay." Quan Zhilong thought for a moment and asked nonchalantly, "Didn't you see my text message this morning?"

"How come, didn't I reply? You didn't receive it?"

"I thought you should have called me anyway." G-Dragon's tone was a little complaining, but because he knew Jingrong was in a bad mood, he carefully hid it and didn't show it too obviously.

Jing Rong sat back in his chair and said nonchalantly, "I'm afraid of disturbing you at work."

It was this sentence that made Quan Zhilong's heart, which had just softened because of Jingrong's soft words, gradually cool down again. It's not like he hadn't heard Jingrong say similar things before. When she first changed, she always ignored him. Sometimes when he got anxious, he would complain, and she would respond like this, seeming to be very understanding. Haha.

G-Dragon really couldn't help but think too much. At the beginning, their relationship was not close and there was nothing much to say, but now they are so close. Jing Rong is not unaware of his usual work habits. When he is really working, his cell phone is not with him at all. He can't answer her call, so how can it be said to be disturbing?

The awkward silence lasted for a while. Jingrong even replied to an email that she had to reply to personally. Quan Zhilong just listened quietly to the clacking of her keyboard. It was very difficult for Jingrong to work while answering the call with her head tilted, holding the phone on her shoulder. Besides, the other party was silent, so he thought it was nothing important. He said directly, "I'm busy now. I'll contact you tonight. I'm hanging up now."

"Jingrong..." G-Dragon just called out hurriedly, and then he heard a "beep beep" sound on the phone. He scratched his hair in annoyance. G-Dragon threw the phone on the seat and forced himself to lean back and close his eyes without thinking about anything.

Seungri and TOP finally came over. Seeing that G-Dragon didn't take the time to call, Seungri couldn't help but ask, "Brother, you haven't figured it out yet, have you? Why did you insist that your sister-in-law contact you?"

Quan Zhilong closed his eyes and said nothing. Top glanced at him, and two words came to his mind - looking for death, but he didn't say anything. He just handed the drink to him. Quan Zhilong opened his eyes, took it, looked at it, put it aside, and asked, "Don't you have any beer?"

In addition to eating, drinking is also one of Top's hobbies. A glint of light flashed in Top's eyes, and he suggested: "The trip ended early today, why don't we go for a drink tonight?"

"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk."

Seungri gave them a few strange looks. "Giyong, don't you like going to bars and nightclubs? Why are you so excited today? Are you celebrating that Kiko's years of trying to get herself into trouble have finally ended in disaster?"

When Jingrong was getting off work, he received a call from Zheng Yunhao. He estimated that he would have to get off work later, so it was okay for Jingrong to go home first. Jingrong thought about it and decided that it would be nice to go home and play with Taifeng for a while. Zheng Yunhao did not get off work until after seven o'clock. He had planned to go with Jingrong to buy the dishes he wanted to eat and then ask his aunt to make them, but because of this accident, his aunt had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them to come back to eat. Zheng Yunhao did not go to pick up Jingrong, but called Jingrong when he was about to get home. Jingrong then took Taifeng with him to eat. He met Zheng Yunhao downstairs who had just returned home, as well as the other four members of TVXQ.

"Hi, Jingrongxi." Jin Zaizhong greeted Jingrong first, and then several others also exchanged greetings.

Jing Rong couldn't help but sigh that Jung Yunho was indeed considerate and attentive. It must be because of what happened in the morning. Jung Yunho was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable being alone with him, so he called his teammates over. As a male god-level idol, he was not displeased by her behavior, but instead cared about her feelings. How broad-minded does it take to do this?

But Jing Rong just sighed.

"Are you guys here to eat for free too?" Jing Rong asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Shen Changmin said quickly, "Tomorrow Yunhao and I are going to Taiwan, and Zhong and the others are also going to Japan. We're going to be busy again. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together first."

"Then I won't disturb your relationship, right?"

"How could that be!"

Jin Zaizhong teased Taifeng who was snuggling up to his legs and said with a smile: "Taifeng has gained weight again. It's all thanks to Jing Rongxi's care."

"You're kidding. I've only been taking care of it for two days." Jing Rong frowned.

Jin Jaejoong lowered his head and smiled without saying anything. What he actually wanted to say was the owner of the typhoon. If it weren't for the girl in front of him, their Captain Zheng would definitely be the one who insisted on staying in the studio no matter what. Would he remember to go home and eat on time without anyone reminding him? Don't be ridiculous.

The meal took a long time, and then they chatted for a while before going home. After seeing his owner and so many friends, Typhoon followed Jingrong home very contentedly. He was even in a good mood and asked Jingrong to give him a bath and blow-dry his hair. After his hair was dried, Jingrong also trimmed Typhoon's nails, which took a lot of time. After Typhoon swaggered back to his nest and prepared to go to bed, Jingrong felt that he had done a good job as a proxy parent and did not let Zheng Yunhao down. He also contentedly filled the water and prepared to take a bath and go to bed.

Jing Rong was taking a bath comfortably, and had no idea that someone was getting drunk for him. All night long, G-Dragon kept pulling people to drink with him. This time, TOP finally found a friend who was willing to drink with him. He happily drank with G-Dragon for a while, but later he realized something was wrong.

"Jiyong...are you drunk?"

G-Dragon opened another bottle of wine and raised it towards Top: "No, let's keep drinking!"

Top was skeptical, and Taeyang finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and took the wine from G-Dragon's hand: "G-Dragon, don't drink anymore."

"Why don't you drink?" Quan Zhilong tilted his head and reached out to take the bottle back. Taeyang frowned: "What on earth has stimulated you?"

Seungri, who had just returned from chatting with a beautiful woman he had just met, heard Taeyang's question as soon as he entered the private room. He walked over and said, "Are you stimulating yourself?"

"What's going on?"

Seungri shrugged, "During lunch, Jiyong said he felt his sister-in-law had changed... He was kidding. They're inseparable right now, how could she change so easily?"

Taeyang didn't quite believe it: "But Zhilong is not the kind of person who worries about gains and losses."

"Brother!" Shengli patted Taiyang's shoulder heavily, "You've been in love before, so of course you don't understand."

Dacheng scoffed, "You speak as if you know everything."

Quan Zhilong ignored his friends' chat. When Taeyang snatched the bottle from his hand, he opened another one and drank alone without anyone accompanying him. The discussion between Taeyang and the others was interrupted by Quan Zhilong's flashing phone. Quan Zhilong still ignored it. Taeyang looked down and chuckled, "You really are stimulating yourself." Then he patted Quan Zhilong on the shoulder and said, "Zhilong, Jingrong is calling."

G-Dragon still held onto the bottle of wine, unwilling to part with it, and even waved away Taeyang's hand: "Who is Jingrong?!"

"It's your girlfriend!" Taeyang was at a loss for words and signaled Daecheng to turn off the music. The box suddenly became quiet. He answered the phone for G-Dragon and pressed the speakerphone button so that Jingrong's voice could be heard by everyone in the room, including someone else.

"Sorry Jingrong, Zhiyong drank too much."

Jing Rong frowned and asked worriedly, "What happened to him?"

"I don't know either." Taeyang knew that his friends were trying to save face, so he didn't tell them the truth about their speculation. "I'll give him the number, and you two can have a good chat." As he said that, he handed the phone to G-Dragon, but G-Dragon refused to answer. Taeyang had no choice but to put the phone to his ear. Jingrong whispered, "G-Dragon?"

Quan Zhilong hummed softly, without saying anything, without any movement or expression, just keeping his head down in silence. Seeing that he finally stopped making a fuss, Taeyang didn't say anything either, and put the phone back in his hand. Quan Zhilong finally picked up the phone this time, and just as he put it back to his ear, he heard his girlfriend whisper, "What happened?"

Her usual cold tone softened slightly in front of him. She was so concerned, as if nothing had happened between them. Quan Zhilong twitched his lips. So, should he cooperate with her? Should they just pretend nothing had happened and return to the way they were two days ago?

G-Dragon has not yet decided what to do, but he didn't expect that Jing Rong didn't give him the right to choose at all. She had already made the decision for him.

"If it's because I hung up on you this afternoon, then I apologize. I was a little upset today, so I treated you badly." Jingrong lay in the bathtub with his head tilted back, his tone clearly exhausted. "I'm sorry, Zhilong."

None of the previous long explanations moved G-Dragon as much as the last five simple words. He felt indescribable, but surprisingly, he was willing to believe that her apology was genuine, without a trace of perfunctory. It was just an apology. Was it really as simple as just because she treated him badly?

G-Dragon's heart seemed to tremble twice. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but he didn't have the courage. Sometimes there's nothing wrong with deceiving oneself. At least at this moment she still missed him. There was an imperceptible reluctance in her tone. At least it was true that she was in a bad mood. This reason was just a little evasive, but it didn't deceive him, so... believe it, never mind. Even lovers should keep some secrets, just like doesn't he have things he hasn't let her know?

As if sighing from the depths of his soul, Quan Zhilong closed his eyes, and then he heard his helpless voice saying: "I just hope... if you have something to say, you can tell me directly, don't hide it, and don't be afraid that I will worry."

In the end, he still...didn't dare to pursue the matter further.

Jing Rong finally smiled, a smile from the heart; "I know, thank you."

"Um."

This was over, and Jing Rong started chatting with Quan Zhilong about random things. "...I'll go to your concert next week."

"Okay." Quan Zhilong smiled, "If you can come a day early, I can pick you up at the airport."

"Really? Looks like I have to fight for it."

"That's right, no one has had this honor yet." Jing Rong said in a very complacent tone, and just smiled faintly, then talked about other things, such as her President Xue not planning to come back recently, and that G.R. business was good, and her friends were already discussing with her about investing in a second store. When the phone was almost dead, Jing Rong finally reminded, "You should drink less in the future?"

Quan Zhilong paused and jokingly said, "Are you starting to interfere in my life?"

"No, it's just that drinking is bad for your health, especially since you need to protect your throat... Oh, and smoke less, or even better, quit smoking."

"Don't like the smell of smoke?"

"I think people who don't smoke wouldn't like the smell of cigarettes, right?" Jing Rong laughed. He glanced at his phone and said, "Okay, my phone is almost out of battery. Let's talk tomorrow. You guys should go back and get some rest early. Good night."

"Well, good night."

After hanging up the phone, G-Dragon stood up and said to his friends, "I have a schedule tomorrow, let's go."

Top said: "Aren't you drunk?"

G-Dragon's face froze, and Seungri joked fearlessly, "Because my sister-in-law is Ji-Dragon's hangover soup!"

Dacheng couldn't stand it: "Victory, you are getting more and more disgusting."

"Then don't you see who is causing the trouble?"

As soon as he returned to his room, G-Dragon put away the relaxed look on his face. A complex and incomprehensible light flashed in his eyes. He sat on the sofa and watched the video for a long time before finally getting up and going to the bathroom to wash up.

The next morning, Jing Rong remembered to call Quan Zhilong before going to work, and then had dinner with a group of colleagues after work. Everyone was a little reserved during the meal, but this reserve disappeared without a trace after arriving at G·R. They were a large group of people and didn't start eating until around eight o'clock. It was almost ten o'clock when they finished eating and arrived at G·R. The atmosphere in the bar was already getting a little heated. Jing Rong had previously notified the bar to reserve the largest private room, and after taking everyone to the room, she was called away after sitting for only a few minutes. The others finally let go completely when she was away, eating snacks, drinking, singing, and playing dice happily. When Jing Rong came back after finishing her business, the private room was already very high. The girl who was singing saw her come in and hurriedly greeted her, "President, do you want to sing?"

Jing Rong waved his hands listlessly, thought for a moment, and finally took the microphone, but he didn't sing: "The band performance is about to start in the hall. If you're interested, you can go down and join in."

As soon as Jing Rong finished speaking, cheers broke out. Without her reminder, they rushed out one after another. G.R and the others had also heard about it. They heard that the most distinctive feature was the band performance. The two-hour performance every night could push the atmosphere of the bar to its highest point. Since they were there, there was no way they would not experience it.

In less than two minutes, the box was empty. Secretary Lin walked to the back. She glanced at Jing Rong with some concern, then turned around and followed the group. Jing Rong also went downstairs to the hall. Everyone in the audience had spontaneously gathered under the stage to watch the performance. Jing Rong sat in the hall where her friends usually sat, poured a glass of wine and drank slowly. In the middle, Zhang Jingran came over and said a few words to her. Not long after, Zhang Zhiyao also came. Seeing Jing Rong drinking alone for the first time, Zhang Zhiyao frowned and went over to sit next to her: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, how long has it been since our Miss Xue got drunk?"

Jing Rong glanced at her and asked, "Why are you here?" Although the little friends often come here to take charge, they don't come every day. To be honest, their nightlife is rich and they don't just hang out at one tree. Besides, everyone knows that she is here to invite colleagues today. In order to leave Jing Rong with a dignified and upright image in front of the employees, the little friends did not come here to bother her. But everyone's efforts are probably in vain.

Secretary Lin, who had been silently observing Jing Rong, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her boss was young and beautiful. What if she got drunk and got harassed by someone? Now that a friend was there, she felt relieved. Noticing Secretary Lin's absent-mindedness, Assistant Xu couldn't help but ask, "What were you looking at just now?"

"Nothing... I just felt like the president seemed to be in a bad mood today."

"Yeah." Assistant Xu nodded. "Maybe something's bothering him."

Secretary Lin's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the video. He was about to discuss it with Assistant Xu when he took two steps forward to enjoy the music. Secretary Lin glanced back at Jing Rong who was toasting with Zhang Zhiyao, and an idea slowly emerged in his mind.

After drinking a glass with Jingrong, Zhang Zhiyao asked, "What happened to you today?"

"I just think it's a little ridiculous." Jing Rong sneered and clinked glasses with Zhang Zhiyao. Without caring whether he was willing or not, he drank another full glass of wine, which made Zhang Zhiyao's eyebrows twitch. Jing Rong spontaneously filled his own glass with wine. "You're being pretentious at the last minute. Isn't that funny?"

Zhang Zhiyao was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jing Rong shook his head and didn't answer. At this time, the phone rang. It was the hourly auntie calling: "Ms. Xue, Taifeng has drunk milk and fallen asleep. I'm going home first. Will you stay here tonight? If not, I will come over early to take care of Taifeng."

"No, thank you."

"You're welcome. Miss Xue, go home and rest early. Goodbye."

"Who is Typhoon?"

"Jung Yunho's Husky."

"He actually left his pet in your care?" Zhang Zhiyao was very surprised. He had always heard that Jung Yunho was a very self-respecting man who kept his distance from others. Although he had treated Jingrong a little differently the last time he saw him, he had never expected it to get to this point. Zhang Zhiyao sat up straight and asked, "Tell me the truth, how far have you guys progressed?"

"Zhiyao." Jing Rong suddenly put down his wine glass, looking very serious about what he was about to say, "What do you say...how about I change the plan temporarily?"

"Are you crazy?!"

Jing Rong suddenly smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "I was just joking."

Zhang Zhiyao was not relieved: "Are you serious, or are you drunk?"

"I'm not drunk, and I'm not serious."

"Don't give me that." Zhang Zhiyao was unconvinced. "If you were sober, you wouldn't joke about this... You don't really want to back out, do you?"

After a moment of silence, Jing Rong said seriously, "I just don't want to involve innocent people."

"But you didn't force Jung Yunho to like you. If he had investigated carefully, how could he not know about your relationship with G-Dragon?!"

"How could he do such a thing?" Jing Rong chuckled. "But Zhiyao, even if he volunteered, I was the one who hid it from him first. If he knew about my situation from the beginning, would he be tempted?"

"What's the big deal? No one says that relationships must be made public. Besides, even married people cheat." Zhang Zhiyao said expressionlessly, "You've already done it. The damage has already been done. Is there any point in calling it quits now?"

"At least there's still room for recovery."

"Xue Jingrong!" Zhang Zhiyao was quite disappointed. "When did you become such a saint?! Love is something that is consensual. What's the big deal about hiding it for a while? It's not like there's no possibility for you two in the future!"

"What if it's really impossible?"

Zhang Zhiyao was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Just talking." Jing Rong poured herself another full glass of wine, drank it, and lay on the table without saying anything. Zhang Zhiyao stretched out his hand to pat her thin shoulder, but withdrew his hand halfway. No matter in the past or now, her best friend hated others to have any sympathy for her. In the past, it was because her pride did not allow it, but now she was strong and did not need any pity.

Zhang Zhiyao turned his face away: "Forget it, think it over carefully, I don't care anymore."

Jingrong didn't move.

The atmosphere in the bar became more and more lively as the night progressed. Before midnight, people kept coming in. Jingrong lay there for a while when she heard someone mention her name. She stood up and looked at the door. Some familiar boys waved at her in a familiar manner: "Xue Jingrongxi!"

Yang Seungho turned around and looked at the girls from 2ne1, "Come here, she's here!"

Jingrong stood up with a smile. Yang Shenghao and the others had already come over. Yang Shenghao said with a smile, "Xue Jingrongxi, good evening. I heard that you came back from Japan two days ago. I'm so sorry that I didn't find the chance to come and see you until today."

"No, no." Jing Rong's attitude was also impeccable. "It's an honor for you to come."

After greeting everyone one by one, Jing Rong asked, "Maybe the hall is a bit messy, do you need to go to the private room?"

Yang Shenghao looked around and said in surprise, "Not for now. Let's wait until Xiuhe and the others come."

Jing Rong nodded and called the waiter to bring drinks and other things. Zhang Zhiyao smiled beside him: "Several big stars have time to come here? This is really a great honor for our humble shop."

Jing Rong glanced at Zhang Zhiyao but said nothing. Dara smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't think of this before. If Zhilong hadn't mentioned it, we would have overlooked it."

"Oh, Zhilong asked you to come?"

Park Bom replied, "Yes, he was afraid that you would be too bored alone, so he asked us to play with you more often when we have time."

Jingrong was amused by her words. He toasted her with a glass of wine and sat back down. Cl also looked around and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Jingrong: "Xue Jingrongxi, I saw a video a few days ago of TVXQ performing together in a bar. Judging from the setting, it seems to be here?"

"That's right." Jing Rong lowered her head and poured another glass of wine. Zhang Zhiyao glanced at her but didn't stop her. He just stood up and said, "I'll go backstage to see if you guys are having fun."

CL then asked, "It seems TVXQ also came to the bar on its opening day... So you two know each other?"

Jingrong nodded, neither hiding anything nor saying much either. Cl smiled awkwardly, secretly blaming herself for asking Captain Quan this question, only to be sent here by the uneasy Captain Quan to test the military situation. He didn't need to think about it. She and Xue Jingrongxi had only exchanged a few words from beginning to end. What right did she have to test his relationship with others? Besides, if she could easily get information out of Xue Jingrongxi, why would she need to be tricked by them and the president all day long?!

Seeing CL was at a loss for words, Park Bom followed up with a question: "Hey, why didn't I see the TVXQ seniors today?"

Jing Rong glanced at her in surprise: "Park Chunxi has something to ask them?"

"No, just asking casually. After all, it's rare for seniors to meet each other."

Jing Rong nodded: "If they come next time, I will let someone notify you."

Park Bom smiled and exchanged glances with Cl. Seeing her frank attitude, it didn't seem like they were having an affair. Yang Seung-ho, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly stood up and said, "Xiu-hyuk, Kim, this way!"

"You guys are actually sitting in the hall?"

"It's convenient to wait for you."

Li Xiuhe greeted Jingrong with a smile. Kim, who was standing next to him, had a cold and elegant expression. Jingrong didn't care and led them directly to the private room on the second floor. After a few words, Jingrong said goodbye: "Our company's employees are having a party downstairs. I'll go over to take a look. Sorry to leave."

Several people hurriedly shook their heads, and Jingrong left the box directly. Park Chun looked at Kim: "Did Xue Jingrong provoke you?"

Lee Soo Hyuk wasn't surprised: "He's always like this."

Yang Shenghao frowned: "Didn't you think Xue Jingrong was good after you came back from Japan last time?"

Kim gets angry when she mentions this. "I was deceived by her. I thought she was really generous, but what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Kiko must have been the one who did this!"

"Can you provide evidence?" Li Xiuhe asked matter-of-factly.

Kim sneered: "Do you need evidence? Who else could it be besides her?!"

Girls are more likely to understand this kind of thing. Dara had a bad impression of Mizuhara to begin with, and said directly: "You can't blame others for that. It was such a fierce quarrel before. No woman could stand it. Besides, it was someone with a strong background and power like Xue Jingrongxi. Why should she put herself in such a difficult position?" The implication was that Kiko Mizuhara was asking for trouble.

Kim didn't argue with her. He sat for half an hour, drank a few glasses of wine and was about to leave. The others thought about it and felt that there was no point in staying, so they went downstairs with him. Jingrong was being toasted by the employees downstairs who were having fun. She didn't refuse much. After drinking a few big glasses, she finally started to feel dizzy. Seeing that Yang Shenghao and the others were about to leave, she didn't try to keep them, but politely asked them to come and play often in the future.

The author has something to say: Are you amazed by this word count? ? Haha, don't worry, the author is planning to do a second update. Speaking of which, I turned grief into motivation today~~~~~

But I have to say it again, the glass-hearted author Sang has been emphasizing that this story is the ultimate torture of the male god. I can't continue writing without torture. Of course, I can't change the male lead. If I change, this story will be meaningless to me. And the ending must be happy. I never write tragedies. Even if I write one in the future, I will definitely remind you when I start. It's impossible for it to turn into a tragedy while writing!

Sorry, I'm so tired. Let me go back to writing. Before I go, I want to thank my friends.
