Bigbang had just finished their concert and the popularity was already very high. Once this news came out, the popularity soared even higher.

It is human nature to gossip.

Not only fans were excited, but even unrelated passers-by also frequently appeared in the comment section to discuss this matter.

Among them, the point that everyone is most concerned about is, whose girlfriend is this girl?

Some people said it was loud, because he has been acting strangely recently. During the live broadcast two days ago, he kept checking his phone to send messages, and he might have been replying to his girlfriend.

Some also say it's TOP's, because every time TOP appears in front of the camera recently, he smiles very sweetly. From a psychological point of view, that is a love face.

All the other members of Big Bang have been guessed, and of course Kwon Ji-yong is not left out. The most powerful evidence is -

Kwon Ji-yong sat in front of the huge crown light for a long time, taking pictures and making the "V" sign, and was incredibly enthusiastic. Later, when other members approached the crown light, he would go over to challenge them, acting like a completely jealous little boy!

However, as various details were added, more unknown details were discovered.

There was a blogger who was somewhat famous online. When he was recording the end of a Vlog after a concert, there happened to be a stage behind him, so the whole process of how the mysterious woman got on the stage was clearly captured.

It turns out that the girl didn't go up there by herself, but was carried up there like a princess!

[Ahhhhhh shit! This can't be real, how the hell did he get up there? So this person isn't a staff member, but a member, right?]

[I think ordinary staff should not have the right to bring their girlfriends to the backstage! ]

[Ahhhh! My house! My house collapsed! ]

[I don’t know why, but I actually saw sweetness in this action. It’s killing me. I feel uncomfortable but sweet at the same time. This feeling is too comfortable, right?]

[Who can estimate a boy's height? Give me a parameter, I want to know who this person is! ]

[From the video, he hugs me so easily, and I feel so safe! My boyfriend can't even straighten his waist when he hugs me, okay? I've become a fan, really. Tell me the name, I can support the couple CP! I'm not picky! ]

【As one of the fans present today, I want to say, no wonder she has such a big and bright crown light, it turns out that she bought it with my hard-earned money! I even took a photo with her, I am dying! 】

[I was standing next to this girl at the time, I have something to say! She was really white and thin, and she had a faint scent of perfume on her body, but I don't know what kind of perfume it was, anyway, it smelled really good. I kept getting close to her just to smell it. If you can find out who it is, please help me ask about the perfume!! I'm going on a blind date soon, I really need it! ]

[It was so funny. We in the back row thought she was a fangirl, but she turned out to be my sister-in-law.]

[He brought his girlfriend to the concert and showed off his affection secretly. What does he think of fans? Can't he just do his own thing with our money? I'm speechless. I'm no longer a fan! ]

[You may not believe me, but I know her. I watched her buy the crown light. I also added her contact information. I couldn’t take photos or videos on the stand, so she took a lot of photos for me and sent them to me…]

【The above picture and video are talking! 】

[Look at my homepage, really... I said I would treat her to a meal, but she refused, saying she had to go to the bathroom. Now it seems that she is going on a date...]

[So touching, the person who helped me take a video of my brother turned out to be my sister-in-law, hahaha! It really makes fans mad, is this sister-in-law really stupid or is she really good at it! What is she showing off? ]

[Check her account to see if there is any identity information? ]

[No, nothing at all, it seems to be a trumpet...]

【Puff! Me and my sister-in-law. 】

…

Kwon Ji-yong and Sim Ji-joo were bored in the car, so they loved reading various netizens' comments. When they saw the comments from Xiaohao's sister-in-law, Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help laughing out loud and handed the phone to his sister-in-law Bensao beside him.

"Pig, did you really add her using your secondary account?"

"No, it's the main account. This is the only account I have. I just don't like to post anything. How can you say I have a small account?"

Shen Jiezhu needed to prove that she did not intentionally give her a secondary account, so she posted a status.

It is the scenery outside the window, a very simple picture without any information points.

The words are very serious and rigorous——[This is my big account]

[Latest news from sisters, she posted a status saying that she is not a fake account. ]

【??? My sister-in-law is beside me?】

YG and Sim Je-joo's studio had already reached an agreement not to clarify the scandal for the time being. After "We Are in Love" is broadcast and all the truth is revealed, they will release a clarification video with the two of them in the same frame. This way, there will be heat and topics.

This marketing method has advantages and disadvantages.

At the very least, netizens' attention to Big Bang's concert the next day increased significantly. Fans suddenly became motivated, united together, and formed various small teams just to go to the scene to find the sister-in-law.

The downside is that many people think that Shen Jiezhu, as Quan Zhilong's temporary girlfriend, may have been cheated on.

So much so that in the new episode of "Battle of Psychics", many people felt sorry for her. The originally serious and mysterious metaphysical variety show was forcibly turned into a large-scale emotional release scene.

However, this has led many fans who did not watch "The Psychic" before to join the metaphysics circle.

With the support of the second episode's necromancy ceremony, "Battle of Psychics" became a huge hit, breaking all previous records and becoming a new benchmark for network-wide ratings.

The official of "The Psychic" seized the opportunity and launched a batch of customized peripherals for psychics this season, including scaled dolls, rings, necklaces, bracelets with strange patterns, etc.

Among them, Shen Jiezhu's own doll, made of copper plates and fluorescent sticks, had the highest sales volume and was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves.

The workers' machines were smoking and were not replaced the next day.

Scarcity makes things valuable. The less there are, the higher the price. Scalpers came into being. They bought a large number of dolls from somewhere and then took advantage of the trend to drive up the price of Shen Jiezhu's dolls to a sky-high level.

In order to increase the publicity and drive up the price, they also claimed that buying Shen Jiezhu's doll was equivalent to bringing her home. With her as the guardian, the family would be peaceful, and they would be able to come and go safely, and live a carefree and happy life for the rest of their lives.

The story was so exciting that even Shen Jiezhu was tempted and wanted to buy one to keep at home.

After coming to his senses, he immediately took to Instagram to refute the rumors.

[Recently, there are rumors that my dolls can keep you safe at home. I want to clarify that this is completely nonsense! If you want a peaceful home, talk less and work more! If you want to be safe when going out, be careful! If you want to live a worry-free life for the rest of your life, work hard to make money now! It's just an ordinary doll, don't be fooled! ]

Generally speaking, the higher the price of a doll, the more popular the star is.

Idols all hope that their dolls will be sold at sky-high prices. Shen Jiezhu is the first star who asks fans not to buy expensive dolls.

Not only that, she also noticed the situation online where the official website was out of stock, but scalpers had plenty of stock. Because she was worried that someone on the show crew was deliberately opening up scalper channels to make money, she contacted Ates specifically.

As the top guest with the highest traffic in the program, Ates took the question she raised very seriously and immediately asked someone to investigate the situation. Sure enough, a small team that was selling dolls privately was caught.

Just as Shen Jiezhu guessed, they used their status as employees to purchase a large number of dolls in advance, and then sold them at high prices through scalper channels.

I have earned half a year’s salary in these two days.

Ates handled the matter immediately and explained and apologized to Shen Jiezhu and netizens.

A large piece of text explaining the situation and apologizing caused quite a stir online.

On the one hand, most people have felt the sincerity of the "Battle of Psychics" program team and are more willing to pay for their products and programs, and the popularity has continued to rise.

On the other hand, Shen Jiezhu was mentioned many times in this long paragraph, which made everyone realize that this problem might have been discovered by Shen Jiezhu, and she went to find them, which led to this result in the end.

It is very common for fans to be taken advantage of in the star-chasing circle, and everyone seems to have become accustomed to being taken advantage of.

But Shen Jiezhu's behavior this time was to take practical action to fight against this bad habit in the circle.

He may not be able to control other people's affairs, but his own affairs must be fair and just. She is an idol who truly stands from the fans' perspective and empathizes with them.

Those who figured out the whole story were instantly defeated and were so moved that they lined up in the comment section of Instagram to sob.

[I came here because of your reputation, Shen Jiezhu you are really awesome! 】

[Ahhhhh, today is another day of loving pigs so much. I am really touched. I feel like my idol cares about me.]

[It’s great that I don’t have a company. If I had signed with a company, the company would have chosen to handle the matter silently. Even if they found this problem, they would not have told the program team! ]

[The studio is great too! ]

When Shen Jiezhu saw this situation, she was in the recording studio, preparing to record "The Secret of the Rose".

As the theme song of "Above the Rose", this song will appear as the opening theme in the first episode and will also be released at 8 o'clock that night.

During this period, she has been taking vocal lessons, and her singing skills have greatly improved. It is now many times better than the weak version she sang at the beginning.

Now is the waiting time. The recording will probably start in half an hour. Shen Jiezhu was browsing the messages in her comment section and private messages, and suddenly a thought came to her mind.

How about starting a live broadcast?

I haven’t done a live broadcast for a long time, and my fans must miss me.

She immediately went to the music director to ask for an empty lounge, set the alarm, and started the live broadcast.

Fans didn't expect Shen Jiezhu would suddenly start a live broadcast. They were so moved that they started crying as soon as they entered the live broadcast room.

【Aaaaaah! Pig, please be careful. That doll is really expensive. I couldn’t afford it originally, but Psychic apologized and specially discounted it to 50 pieces. I snatched one. I’m so excited!】

[Just waiting for the baby to be delivered to my home hahaha! I thought it was hopeless, but suddenly I bought it again. Who can understand this kind of surprise? I will really cry! ]

[Pig, you won't quarrel with the program crew because of us, right? You must not quarrel with the program crew, otherwise your segment will be cut. We want to see you, so it doesn't matter if we pay a little more! ]

Shen Jiezhu leaned on the sofa, sitting in a twisted posture, afraid of revealing the studio logo on the wall.

"Hahahaha, this was a communication between Ates and I. There was no unpleasantness. We had a very smooth chat. He respected my ideas very much. We are very good friends. Don't worry~"

As everyone knows, Shen Jiezhu's circle of friends is of very high quality. Not only are they spread all over the world, but their status and relationships are also top-notch.

After she said this, her fans felt relieved and happily started asking her where she was, what she was doing, and how she had time to live broadcast.

It's like a greeting between friends, very friendly and natural.

Shen Jiezhu only said that she saw the private message in her spare time, so she went on the live broadcast to chat with everyone, but she did not say what the specific work was.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Shen Jiezhu felt that she had not said a few words before the alarm bell rang and the door of the lounge was knocked. It was the staff calling her.

"It's time to start working. If you have any questions, you can send me a private message. If it's important, I will reply to you. I have too many messages from the background, and I may not be able to see every one of them. I hope you can understand!"

Shen Jiezhu hurriedly logged off, and was caught off guard by the closure of the live broadcast room.

The fans were forced to quit before they could even finish typing the word "bye".

When Shen Jiezhu arrived at the recording studio, several teachers were already waiting there. She first went up to them and said sorry, then entered the studio to start recording the song.

"The Secret of the Rose" as the theme song is more like the inner monologue of each character. Because the last part uses a singing style, the whole song is like a diary, turning the pages one by one, telling each person's story.

The prelude is long and has an operatic feel from the beginning, but it is not obvious at this time.

The first verse is the protagonist's inner monologue. After meeting the heroine, he freed himself from the masked state and became his true self. The contrast between before and after is extremely obvious, and it can be said that he is like two different people.

This sentence expresses his tolerance, understanding and deep attachment to the heroine.

【Take off my disguise and love all your truth and falsehood, your loneliness, your helplessness, without struggling.】

The second paragraph is the heroine's response to the hero. The two of them sing in unison, one in front and one behind, like the whispers of lovers, saying the most beautiful love words to each other.

[I hope that my last moments will bring you a miracle. Your pursuit and your companionship should be remembered.]

The end of the love between the male and female protagonists is the blame and criticism of the second female protagonist. As the main villain in the play, the second female protagonist's words mostly have a questioning feeling.

[Above the rose, below the kinship, the bloody minions, when you wake up in the middle of the night, will you feel guilty towards her? ]

The second male lead's emotions are mostly twisted possessiveness and yandere protectiveness, and his lyrics tend to be a bit darker.

[Twisted and changing, laughing and scolding, sparks of sacrifice, wind and rain, they can't trap you but they can trap me. ]

Shen Jiezhu sang along the entire melody. During the last chorus, her earphones suddenly had problems and the melody could not be heard clearly, as if the sound was transmitted.

The recorder quickly called a stop, apologized very embarrassedly, and started checking the computer audio.

Shen Jiezhu stood beside her, quietly pondering the last verse of the song.

[He stood in the light, holding a flower in his hand, he looked at you, foolishly and stupidly, a rose with thorns, a flash of blood, she cut her hair, crying and laughing...]

This is Teacher Pu Zhen’s favorite part. She said that she could see the love-hate relationship among the four people from this part, so she had to pay special attention to the tone when singing.

Shen Jiezhu studied it for a long time, until the recent few days of filming, when she saw the characters interpreted by her predecessors and studied them carefully, she finally understood what she meant.

Standing in the light, holding flowers is the male protagonist Han Jae-seok. He wins the beauty and is the final winner.

Looking at her, the one who is silly and foolish is the second male lead Park Ji-seung. A yandere who lost his lover, isn't he silly and foolish, crazy and insane?

Both the male lead and the second male lead are in love with the female lead, Lee Mi-sun, who is the rose with thorns.

The blood was the result of the harm done to her by the second female lead, Lee Yeon-hee, and it was also her own fate.

So the one who said the last sentence, "She cut her hair and laughed and cried," was also Lee Yeon-hee.

There is no clear boundary between the four different people in this sentence. There is an inexplicable feeling that you and I are entangled, just like the relationship between wealthy families, there is order in the chaos, and under the order are little thoughts like a spider web.

During the time she was reorganizing the audio, Shen Jiezhu's understanding of the lyrics reached a new level.

Ten minutes later, when the recording started again, as soon as she started speaking, the sound engineer discovered that all the problems that Shen Jiezhu had encountered during the recording just now seemed to have disappeared.

He had originally planned to remind her after the entire recording was completed, but he didn't expect that she had already discovered the problem herself and solved it so quickly.

Anyway, he didn't hear any problems at the moment. The voice, technique, emotion and other aspects were all well controlled.

Especially the last part, which hits the soul directly. The tuner, wearing headphones, felt his scalp tingling and couldn't help frowning with a very evil expression.

It can be said that this section sublimates the entire song, and the entanglement and pain reach a climax in an instant. No one can avoid the entanglement of fate, and it is a dead end from the beginning.

The feeling of having no way to go but having to go anyway is very uncomfortable.

The recording was completed in one go, without any problems.

The music director standing nearby witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but pat the tuner on the shoulder: "How's the effect? ​​Let me listen to it."

The tuner made way for him, and after listening, the two looked at each other, both seeing surprise and shock in each other's eyes.

This is the first time I use the singing style in the OST. It is an attempt, but this attempt is really successful!

It is so successful that it feels like a masterpiece from its peak period.

They were very excited that there might be more fresh blood in the music industry, but at the same time they were a little worried that "The Secret of the Rose" was both the starting point and the peak.

As musicians, they hope that better works can beat "The Secret of the Rose" instead of being suppressed by it.

"Director, is this recording OK? Do I need to do it again?"

Shen Jiezhu was waiting for comments but never got any, so she had to ask in person. The recorder then realized that he had just forgotten to tell her.

"No, no, Pig, you sing very well, one take! Great!"

He likes this song and also likes this kind of work efficiency. It seems that he can leave work early again today. He is happy!

The director also nodded in agreement: "Pig, I think your voice is particularly suitable for storytelling. Maybe you can consider some other music programs, lyrical songs, you will sing very infectiously."

This is the same thing that Teacher Park Zhen said.

Shen Jiezhu smiled and thanked her quickly: "Thank you for your guidance. If there is a chance in the future, I will participate."

She has too much work to do now, so it's not appropriate to add new ones.

"good."

After a few people talked for a while and confirmed that the recording was completed and there was no need for supplementation or re-recording, Shen Jiezhu said goodbye to everyone and left with peace of mind. She had a dinner appointment with Quan Zhilong and was almost late.

When she arrived, Kwon Ji-yong was already waiting in the box.

It is a Chinese restaurant, and its facade looks very Chinese. Shen Jiezhu felt extremely friendly as soon as she entered the restaurant. The thought of eating delicious food soon made her even more excited, and she walked as fast as the wind.

Just as she ran up to the second floor and was about to turn into the private room, a voice called her from behind.

"Pearl?"

Shen Jiezhu was very sensitive to voices, and she knew who the other person was almost instantly.

Li Jingtai...

I haven't heard of his name for a long time. Ever since I learned that he inherited the company and took over most of the shares, he seemed to have become a distant figure whom I could only see in financial magazines.

I didn't expect to meet you here today.

"Long time no see, hahaha. Should I call you President Li now?"

"Just call me Li Jingtai as before. Aren't we close friends?"

Shen Jiezhu greeted the person while turning around. When she saw the person coming, she was stunned for a moment subconsciously, and the smile on her lips stiffened a little.

After not seeing him for a few days, he looks so haggard.

It’s the same white suit that I wore before. It gave me an artistic temperament as gentle as jade, but now it only makes me look thin.

How could he...

Shen Jiezhu subconsciously took a step to the side and looked at his back. The middle-aged man from last time was gone.

Now that he's gone, why is he still so tired?

Shen Jiezhu lowered her eyes in confusion, and saw the middle-aged man on the ground. He was hugging his legs and staring at her with an angry expression.

…

Changed position?

What on earth is this old president thinking? Is he going to let his own son die?

Sister Shen frowned, took out a piece of jade from her bag and handed it to him.

Li Jingtai didn't take it, but raised his eyes curiously and asked: "Zhuzhu, what is this?"

"This is something that will help you sleep well and not make you feel dizzy. Take it. It's my gift to you as a congratulatory gift for taking over the company!"

Sleep well...

Hearing these three long-lost words, Li Jingtai was somewhat moved.

It has been a long time since anyone has told him to get a good night's sleep. Everyone is just congratulating him and giving him compliments. On the surface, they are praising him for his youth and success, but behind his back they are saying that he is naive, knows nothing about company affairs, and is really useless.

He didn't want this to happen, but his father passed away so suddenly without saying a word, and now there is no one to teach him how to run the company. An Sheng wanted to help him, but was rejected by the board of directors because he couldn't interfere in the company's affairs.

Now he is really isolated and helpless. He doubts himself during the day and can't sleep well at night. He always dreams of his father blaming him.

He is really too tired...

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take it."

Shen Jiezhu was sure he needed this.

Li Jingtai reacted, took it with both hands immediately, and thanked her very solemnly.

"Thank you Zhuzhu!"

"You're welcome. We're all family. There's no need to be so polite about such a small matter. Hahaha."

Li Jingtai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the assistant behind him: "President, the time to discuss cooperation is about to come, we have to go."

Li Jingtai hesitated for a moment, his face full of apology. When Shen Jiezhu saw his expression, she knew he was going to apologize again, and quickly raised her hand.

"No need to apologize, we are friends! You should hurry up and do your work, don't keep the other party waiting for too long, we can't delay discussing cooperation. If you have anything else, you can always find me, just ask Yuna for my personal contact information."

"Okay...thank you Zhuzhu."

Li Jingtai left quickly. Shen Jiezhu looked at his brisk and hurried back, sighed, and turned to go into the private room.

The middle-aged man rushed over angrily.

"You know what? I was teaching him. Now I can't get close to him. She doesn't know how to handle the company's affairs. The other people on the board of directors will definitely deliberately sideline him. You..."

Shen Jiezhu was in no mood to listen to him, so she slammed the door shut, blocking out the man's voice.

"Zhuzhu, you're here?"

When Quan Zhilong saw her come in, he stood up, pulled out a chair very considerately, and poured her a glass of water.

"Oh, I'm so hungry! Let me see what delicious food this restaurant has!" When Shen Jiezhu saw Quan Zhilong, her mood suddenly improved a lot and her appetite increased immediately.

Quan Zhilong handed her the menu and said softly, "Hahaha, take a look at what you want to eat. I'll eat whatever you eat. I'm not picky."

"Hmm, Oppa, you sound like I'm very picky."

Shen Jiezhu raised her eyebrows in pretended dissatisfaction, and Quan Zhilong immediately raised his hands in surrender, leaning back in his chair and smiling.

"I didn't say that. You can't accuse me of that."

"Hey, what should I do if I want to eat everything? But it's a waste. How about these special dishes?"

Quan Zhilong nodded without any principles: "I can do anything!"

Just as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and listened for a while. When he put the phone down, he looked at Shen Jiezhu who was still excitedly looking at the menu and hesitated to speak.

"Oppa, what's wrong with you? Who called?"

"It's Tai Xi who called. It was revealed online that I was the one who hugged you at the last concert. Now the internet is in chaos, and he wants us to record a video to clarify things."

"Ah? How did it get out? Didn't you cover your face at the time?"

Shen Jiezhu remembered that she almost didn't recognize him at that time.

Netizens actually recognized it.

Great.

Quan Zhilong smiled helplessly: "Because I forgot to change my shoes."

"Hahahaha, because a pair of shoes was discovered, it's so funny, the fans are really watching, it's so dark and they can't see the shoes, come on, it's not a difficult thing, let's take a picture."

They did what they said. They found a place with good lighting, put the chairs together, sat in a row, and began to clarify things in front of the camera.

"Hello everyone, I am the mysterious woman."

"Hello everyone, I am a staff member."
