Chapter 112 Two Requests
President Yang didn't want G-Dragon to go public. In fact, he'd be foolish to let everyone in and out of the industry know that the incredibly popular Big Bang was backed by a powerful corporation! After all, only a few close friends around G-Dragon and Jing Rong knew about their relationship, and he was already wary, fearing that G-Dragon might start his own business. If everyone knew G-Dragon's close relationship with the president of the Xue Group, what would happen?
Actually, there is no such thing as loyalty in their circle. If they really had to decide to be faithful, G-Dragon should not have gone to YG to be a trainee just because he couldn't debut in S/M. And Jang Hyun-seung, who could have debuted with Big Bang in YG, would not have needed to seek a way out in another agency. They both changed jobs, but G-Dragon was praised for his vision when he switched from S/M to YG. When JYJ changed jobs, they were scolded by all the media. This is obviously unfair. Although JYJ was determined to leave S/M and would rather separate from TVXQ, S/M's leader Lee Soo-man accused JYJ of being so heartless and ungrateful to the media, pulling public opinion to their side, and JYJ became the target of public criticism. In fact, everyone knows that if Lee Soo-man was really as good to the three JYJ members as he said, how could they risk being banned to leave the company? Jyj knew very well that he would probably be banned even if he left the company, but he was still willing to fight. It was simply that he could no longer stay in S/M company, so there was nothing wrong with finding another way out.
Using favors to retain talent is sheer wishful thinking for agencies. Some favors aren't genuine, but they're faked to deceive. But agencies aren't philanthropists. They cultivate artists to make money, and extracting the maximum value from them is their fundamental purpose. Therefore, describing them as "benefactors" is misplaced. They're the ultimate exploiters. The initial training is merely an investment. Those with the talent can earn the most tangible value, money, and even those without will not lose money. Signing with an agency is essentially selling yourself. With such powerful networks, how can an agency sustain them without a few attractive men and women? Of course, agencies won't overtly threaten or pressure you, but they'll paint a beautiful, alluring picture. They're all young people who dream of stardom and are pursuing it. Who doesn't have a sense of dedication? Some are unwilling, but others are willing.
These unspoken rules of the entertainment industry can't be explained in a few words, but everyone knows that agencies won't do business at a loss, so artists won't be so foolish as to be moved by their agencies' training. Everyone knows this, and using "collaborator" to describe the relationship between agencies and artists is more accurate. However, compared to other countries, the Korean entertainment industry has developed a bit distorted. Agencies are used to being overbearing. Not only do they treat artists as tools to make money, they also treat them like slaves, making money from them while looking down on them. Otherwise, if they can beat up artists' agents at will like in Korea, what agency in other countries would dare to hire such a high-profile agent? Even farmers know that if you want an old cow to work, it needs to be well fed and watered to have the strength. If it's starved from time to time, not only will it lack the strength to work, but it'll be lucky if it doesn't kick over when plowing the fields.
Since it is a cooperation, blind oppression will definitely not work. It must be mutually beneficial and a win-win situation. In fact, YG has done very well in this regard. It is said in the industry to be a rare and open-minded and kind agency. In addition, there are popular stars such as Big B Nag, Psy, and 2NE1. I don’t know how many young boys and girls aim to join YG. However, no matter how open-minded a company is, it cannot cover up its nature of exploiting people. Therefore, most people in the entertainment industry have lofty ambitions. Although the opportunities are slim, they still have such a beautiful dream, to start their own company, be their own boss, without exploitation, coercion, or unfair treatment.
So is it really necessary to judge artists by their loyalty or disloyalty? After all, this is a relationship of mutual payment. Whether or not to continue working with the company is not determined by emotional feelings. Profits are paramount. In fact, starting your own company is also risky. If Shinhwa's leader didn't come from a wealthy family and the members didn't get along like brothers, they wouldn't dare to rashly go against the company like this. So, if the company was a little more kind and didn't push the artists into a desperate situation, who would make such a big decision? Most artists only dare to think about it in their hearts, but they don't have the opportunity themselves. When they see others with such conditions, they can't help but persuade them as friends. With everyone's words and my words, plus those who are deliberately instigating, what artist and the company don't have some friction from time to time? Such things pile up, and even if they don't have such thoughts, they will be persuaded.
This is what President Yang is worried about now. When everyone knows about the relationship between Quan Zhilong and Jingrong, there will surely be many people who persuade him to start his own business, no matter if they are really doing it for the good of Bigbnag, or just want to join in the fun, or have other motives, but they will definitely not lie with their eyes open. After all, they are all artists, and speaking from their own experience is the most touching. Moreover, YG is preparing for various matters related to the new boy group, which is no secret in the industry. Now that Bigbnag has the protection of Xue Group, other brokerage companies should not be afraid of offending YG, and will invite Bigbnag with more generous conditions and open contracts, and those conditions are incomparable to YG. With Bigbnag's current fame, even a small brokerage company can't jump in. They are not afraid of being criticized, at least small companies dare not control them too much, and there will be no such big retaliation. If they switch to other companies, at least they don't have to worry about bigbnag being disbanded in the next few years, and they can probably still do what they are good at and interested in. At least G-Dragon and Taeyang can make their own music with peace of mind, without having to be a mentor to some junior sister from time to time, or to promote some junior brother who is about to debut. Top can focus on filming his own dramas, Daesung wants to return to the variety show circle, and Seungri wants to be a triple-edged swordsman in film, television, music and hosting. As long as he is busy, no one should be able to suppress him. Of course, if artists want to do exactly what they want, I am afraid there is no other way except to set up their own business, unless the company they are in will never become strong and they can only rely on them.
President Yang used to be very confident in G-Dragon. Putting aside some selfish motives, he thought he was not bad to G-Dragon. Even if he sometimes ignored other members of Big Bang, that would not affect his relationship with G-Dragon. In fact, to be precise, President Yang was not afraid that G-Dragon would leave YG. He was a visionary person and perhaps he had learned the lesson of S/M. S/M did not pay enough attention to the captain of the group, which led to the situation like Shinhwa and Fly to the Sky where the entire group left the company. So when TVXQ made trouble later, S/M pulled back. He suddenly started to pay attention to the captain and the youngest member, and he also appealed to their emotions and reason. For a captain like Jung Yunho who had a natural sense of responsibility, this was 100% lethal. In Jung Yunho's eyes, the company was not too bad, and the most important reason why he was unwilling to leave was that he could keep the name "TVXQ". This was almost the result of their hard work for countless years. As the captain, he had put in the most sweat, and it was even linked to his dream. He cared about this name more than anyone else. In the end, JYJ left, but TVXQ was still in S/M, and the company could at least get back some of its costs.
So, whether it was BigBnag or 2NE1, President Yang consistently wooed and championed their leaders, and his approach proved successful. While individual members shouldn't be compared, the most popular of these two groups, given the company's generous allocation of resources to the leader, made the chances of him leaving the company incredibly slim. If the leader couldn't leave, how could the others? Split up like JYJ? But that wouldn't be BigBnag. President Yang didn't expect BigBnag to last forever; otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to launch a new boy group before BigBnag enlisted. In reality, he only needed G-Dragon; his fame and brand would remain. Of course, Taeyang was also his favorite.
However, President Yang was confident that G-Dragon would not leave the company before. The reason for this was that he had no need to take that risk. Whether G-Dragon was the captain of Big Bang or even if Big Bang disbanded, he would have stayed in the company. With his talent and President Yang's appreciation of him, his status would not have changed much. However, leaving with his teammates would be too risky. YG is not the only dominant force in the entertainment industry, but it is also very powerful. If he was determined to ban Big Bang, they might not be much better than JYJ. However, now, if he took Big Bang away from YG, not only would he not have to bear any risk, but if he became an independent group like Shinhwa, everyone could do what they wanted without worrying about the group disbanding. With such good conditions, would G-Dragon really not be tempted?
Of course, it is also possible that he still will not be moved. After all, this is a child who values friendship and loyalty. He was brought up by his father and made G-Dragon what he is today. He must be very grateful in his heart. Moreover, in his life, there are not only members, but also teachers who taught him since childhood, lyricists and composers he has worked with, who have always taken good care of him. Unlike other agents who often beat and scold their artists, Kim Nam-guk, these people are also difficult for him to let go. What's more, if there are people in Big Bang who support him to stay in the company, such as Taeyang, who has always been kind to him, he and G-Dragon grew up together and have always had a tacit understanding. If Taeyang and G-Dragon have similar ideas, he might not leave.
President Yang's biggest concern was that if G-Dragon and Jingrong's relationship became public, it would undoubtedly attract widespread attention and unavoidable discussion. Big Bang's fans naturally felt that no one was worthy of their idol, but Big Bang wasn't the only one with fans; Jingrong had his too, and naturally, some would feel that G-Dragon wasn't worthy of Jingrong. But that was the truth. He was the chairman of the Xue Group, and sooner or later, he'd become chairman. He'd be a good match for the chairman or son of another conglomerate. G-Dragon, despite his fame, was still an artist. How could he compete with him? Onlookers could understand such talk, but G-Dragon certainly couldn't. Even if he could, he wouldn't necessarily accept it. He was madly in love with Jingrong, so how could he tolerate being told he wasn't worthy of him? G-Dragon would then, choking back his anger, want to raise his voice again. If someone with ulterior motives could persuade him of the advantages of starting his own company, perhaps he'd actually make the move.
After all, G-Dragon was willing to die for Jingrong, let alone do anything else for her? Thinking this way, President Yang couldn't agree to his and Jingrong's request to make their relationship public. Of course, President Yang wouldn't say anything final right away. He just smiled good-naturedly at G-Dragon's suggestion: "Let's talk about it later, Ji-Dragon. It's still a while before we get married, right? I heard that President Xue hasn't been doing well lately." Even if they really were to get married, what would it matter if G-Dragon announced his marriage at his request? As long as he kept the female lead's details secret, it wouldn't be considered deceiving the fans, so he probably had nothing to say.
When Quan Zhilong heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared, so fast that no one noticed. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Thank you for your concern, President. It will indeed take a while."
"So, let's talk about it later!" After emphasizing it again, President Yang stepped forward, patted G-Dragon on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys must be tired from running around lately. Go back and rest. We have to go to Los Angeles again on the first of next month."
Quan Zhilong tightened his hands in his trouser pockets, stood up with his teammates, and said goodbye to President Yang. After entering the elevator, Taiyang couldn't help but ask, "The president mentioned Jingrong... Could it be that he knows something?"
Quan Zhilong narrowed his eyes, then shook his head. "The only ones who really knew about that were just a few of us. Jingrong's usual assistants and secretaries still don't know. Even Nan Guo only knew that Jingrong was sick and in the hospital. The president was so surprised when I told him about her pregnancy. I knew his sources of information weren't any more sophisticated than anyone else... I'm afraid he just guessed something was wrong and was trying to trick me."
Shengli came over dissatisfiedly: "Brother, what are you guys whispering about?"
"Nothing." Taeyang answered Seungri absentmindedly, then turned to look at G-Dragon, "So what are you going to do? I always feel like the president doesn't like you and Kyungyoung being together."
Hearing this, TOP also nodded: "It's understandable that he didn't agree before. He was afraid that Jingrong was not serious and Zhilong's feelings were being toyed with. If the news got out, it would be bad for all of us. But now you are getting married, what else is he dissatisfied with?"
Dacheng guessed, "Maybe he's afraid that Jiyong's popularity will be damaged if he reveals his relationship?"
"If they were going to criticize us, they would have done it long ago." Seungri said very straightforwardly, "It's no secret that our fans are quite understanding. Besides, Jiyong's constant scandals have already hardened their hearts. They even accepted Jiyong's words like 'I'll tell everyone when I find someone I want to spend my life with,' so announcing the relationship is just a piece of cake."
Quan Zhilong glanced at him sideways, "It seems that you know the reason why the president disagrees?"
Seungri rolled his eyes inwardly. The captain was playing dumb again. Of course, now that it was all out in the open, he didn't hold back and said directly, "It's nothing more than the president being wary of your sister-in-law's background. He's afraid that everyone will know that Jiyong has such a powerful backing now, so he's encouraging you to start your own company."
Taeyang found it funny: "Could it be that in the president's eyes, Jiyong is so soft-hearted?"
G-Dragon's eyes flickered, but he didn't respond. It's not that he hasn't thought about these things. Of course, he still doesn't want to leave the company at the moment. Even if leaving the company will bring great benefits, he will not be satisfied with relying on the power of his woman. However, everything is subject to change, and there is no point thinking about it now. At least they will be stable in YG for the next two years. Even if the company wants to give up Big Bang, it has to train a successor first. Now the company is only selecting trainees. Even if the new boy group can debut as scheduled, it is not certain whether it can become popular. S/M and EXO, which recently emerged, have seized a lot of opportunities. Maybe this group is targeting their company's new boy group. It seems that the debut process of the new boy group will not be much smoother than theirs. Therefore, the road for the new boy group to replace them is still long. It is really unnecessary to think so much now.
Of course, the other members shared similar opinions. After all, it was the company they debuted with, and they wouldn't give up on it until it gave up on them. Overthinking it now would only add to their worries. Their own CEO's comments concluded. There were so many fans gathered under the YG building today. To avoid any emergencies, all employees entered and exited through the back door, including Big Bang. G-Dragon got into his car and was about to say goodbye to his teammates when TOP called out, "Ji-Dragon, how is Jingrong doing today?"
Quan Zhilong rolled down the car window and stuck his head out: "What's wrong?"
"She's been in the hospital for so long, shouldn't we go see her?"
"Some other time?"
Top frowned: "Is her health so bad?"
"Not really. She's just in better spirits today and needs to continue dealing with company matters. Also, with Jung Yunho-sama..." G-Dragon gave a wry smile and added, "I'm worried she'll be too busy these past two days. Why don't we wait until we get back from Los Angeles? I'll see if we can take her home and take care of her. After all, staying in the hospital for a long time isn't a big deal. Wouldn't it be better if we could all celebrate together then?"
Taeyang thought what Quan Zhilong said was quite right, but he had no right to agree, because he had just chatted with Jingrong alone yesterday and planned to go over to accompany Jingrong whenever he had time in the next two days to make up for his previous neglect of her and to make himself feel better. However, even if Taeyang didn't speak up for Captain Quan, his friends knew what he said made sense, so they stepped aside and made way for Quan Zhilong to drive away first.
While his words were high-sounding, G-Dragon was actually more worried about bringing his friends over now. What if Jingrong hadn't yet resolved Jung Yunho's situation? How awkward would that be? G-Dragon had previously acted calm in front of his friends, but after all, this was concerning his own happiness for the rest of his life, and he was still a little nervous. As G-Dragon thought about this, his eyes darkened.
Jing Rong was indeed very busy, just as Quan Zhilong had said. Before Quan Zhilong was summoned by President Yang, Jing Rong was discussing business with Zhang Jingran. Seeing that she had completely regained her former shrewdness, Zhang Jingran didn't hesitate to greet her. He directly called Assistant Xu and Secretary Lin to move all the work documents that Jing Rong had to handle. Zhang Jingran was still complaining, "You are so good. You threw everything to me to do. Now there are only some business matters left."
Although the words were cryptic, Jing Rong understood that Zhang Jingran was referring to President Xue's memorial service and the series of follow-up work. This did indeed make Zhang Jingran feel that it was too much trouble, but she did not show it. She just smiled and said, "So I am still in the hospital, and I can't escape being dragged by you to work like a slave."
"Or does the president miss being in the company more?"
"Forget it, the hospital is less of a worry." Of course, the hospital is not only less of a worry, but even if she wanted to be discharged now, the attending doctors would not agree. After thinking for a moment, Jing Rong said, "Those who are capable should do more work. I'm sorry to bother you for this period of time. I'll give you an extra 10% bonus tomorrow."
"That's too stingy, isn't it, President?"
Jing Rong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Or what do you want?"
"When the president is fully recovered, just give me a few more days off."
Jing Rong shook his head without thinking: "No, how can I do this without you by my side?"
"Your words really give people the wrong impression." Zhang Jingran crossed his arms and clicked his tongue a few times before saying seriously, "I'm not joking, President. You can't deny an employee's wedding leave, can you? Even Zhou Paopi wouldn't be as cruel as you."
"Marriage leave?" Jing Rong raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Jingran. "Which girl are you dating?"
Zhang Jingran said calmly, "He's not from our circle."
Jing Rong immediately thought of the two sentences Zhang Zhiyao complained to her last time, and asked in surprise, "Will your family agree?"
"As long as you give it a little more effort, it will be fine."
Jing Rong suddenly understood. Now that Zhang Jingran was part of the Xue Group and held shares, the Zhang family had less control over him. If the Xue Group thrived, it made sense that the Zhang family wouldn't need Zhang Jingran to form a marriage alliance. Suddenly realizing something, Jing Rong asked, "So, you initially stayed with my father with this in mind?"
Zhang Jingran glanced at Jing Rong and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"I don't want to hear any nonsense."
"Okay." Zhang Jingran shrugged and then continued, "At that time, I hadn't contacted her yet. How could I have known that she would come back to me after all these years and stay with Uncle Xue? She just thought their proposal was very good. If you are really hopeless, I will be the boss of Xue's from now on, and you can just take the dividends. If you have some talent, the two of us can join forces and make Xue's flourish. It will be much happier than me staying at Zhang's, under the constant supervision of my father and uncle. But who would have thought that so many things would happen later? Uncle Xue didn't expect you to be so talented."
"Did you have any objection to the marriage between our two families at that time?"
"What's there to object to? It doesn't matter who you marry."
"Then why are you still so deeply in love with this person? Aren't you afraid of rebelling against your family?"
"Only through comparison can we discover something. I feel that being with you is too stressful. I should find someone I like. It's okay to be oppressed at work, but it doesn't make sense for you to be bullied when you get home." Zhang Jingran answered with a smile.
"As if I really am Zhou Paopi." Jing Rong rolled his eyes at him, then smiled, "But I really thought you loved her so much. From what Zhiyao said, she almost bewitched you. I didn't expect you to have considered someone else before."
"Isn't life like this? Only by comparing more can you know who is more suitable for you. Do you think everyone is like G-Dragon, who can love someone regardless of everything?"
Jing Rong paused, then suddenly laughed and said, "After saying so much, you're actually trying to persuade me in a roundabout way?"
Zhang Jingran glanced at her belly covered by the quilt: "I'm just thinking about the baby in your belly. After all, you are the biological father of the child. You should know how important a healthy family is to a child's growth. Although Jung Yunhao is a person of character, it is unlikely that he would neglect the child, but that's the most he can do. He comes from a family like that, so it's good that he can sincerely accept you."
Jing Rong nodded. Seeing that she was listening attentively, Zhang Jingran continued, "Besides, even if Jung Yunhao doesn't mind, the Zheng family can't really not mind that you have a child. Even if Jung Yunhao insists on marrying you, your life in the Zheng family won't be much better. In this case, you might as well choose G-Dragon. At least he treats you like a treasure."
"That's true, but if I break off the engagement with the Zheng family, you know what the consequences will be, right?"
"You're stupid." Zhang Jingran said nonchalantly, "Just make them regret it."
Jing Rong's eyes flashed, and she was about to continue asking when there was a knock on the door. She answered it, and the door was pushed open. Behind the nurse were Assistant Xu and Secretary Lin. Jing Rong waved at them and said, "Come in."
"President, Vice President." Assistant Xu and Secretary Lin greeted Jing Rong and Zhang Jingran together, then placed the official documents they had brought on the small table next to Jing Rong and explained them one by one. Jing Rong nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
"Not really." Assistant Xu smiled. "The one who's really hard-working is the vice president, who has to run back and forth between the company and the hospital. Secretary Lin and I have wanted to come see you for a long time, but we were afraid of disturbing your rest. Besides, you and the vice president are both busy at the company, so we can't leave."
"No need to come here specially. I'm just recuperating. It's not like I have an incurable disease."
Assistant Xu and Secretary Lin nodded in unison, not doubting Jing Rong's words at all, because the news of Jing Rong's hospitalization had been concealed from the beginning. Since they were close to Jing Rong, Zhang Jingran told them the news of Jing Rong's hospitalization early on, but they didn't know the reason. They just thought that the death of Jing Rong's only relative was too much of a blow to her.
Zhang Jingran listened for a few words and waved Assistant Xu out. "Let Secretary Lin accompany the president here. Assistant Xu, come back to the company with me."
Assistant Xu nodded: "Okay."
Jing Rong knew why Zhang Jingran had waited until Secretary Lin and the others arrived before leaving. He was simply afraid she was still upset, so he kept Secretary Lin with him, nominally to have her accompany him on official business, but in reality, he was just keeping an eye on her. However, this was not a bad thing for Jing Rong, because with Secretary Lin around, she had someone to talk to, which made her less bored.
Jing Rong processed some documents and put them aside. She stood up and took a break by the window. Secretary Lin stood behind her. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "President, that photo yesterday was of you and GDXI, right?"
"What photo?"
Secretary Lin was shocked. "Don't you know? A boy who looks a lot like GDxi was holding a girl wearing a hospital gown like you, standing on the hospital rooftop and almost jumping off the building. And I heard it happened in our hospital... Someone accidentally took a photo and uploaded it to the Internet, and then it went viral. At that time, the girl's long hair covered her face, so no one could tell who it was, but everyone thought the boy was GDxi. Since last night, the VIPs have been frantically demanding an explanation from YG. YG has not responded, and now the fans have exploded. Today, many people spontaneously gathered under the YG building, saying that if YG doesn't come forward to explain, they won't leave..."
Jing Rong frowned: "Is this matter such a big deal?"
"Yeah, after all, if that person is really gdxi, it would be really surprising if he jumped off the building. And the fans are speculating that it might be related to love, and they are trying hard to dig out the heroine as well... Actually, what I said is not comprehensive enough. If you look it up online, you will know."
"The radiation from mobile phones and computers is too strong, so let's just forget it."
Hearing the word "radiation," Secretary Lin's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help asking, "President, could it be that the reason you're recuperating is... because you're pregnant?"
Jing Rong turned around, looked at Secretary Lin in surprise, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so sensitive."
Secretary Lin chuckled, thinking that even if she was a virgin, after being influenced by the internet and the poison of novels, it was hard not to be sensitive in this regard! Thinking of this, she felt a cat's claws scratching hard in her heart, wanting to know whose child it was. Of course, she hoped it was G-Dragon. After all, he was her idol. She definitely wanted her boss and idol to be happy forever. Her life would be complete. And if it really was G-Dragon's child, the photo from yesterday would have explained it very well. In any case, Secretary Lin was certain that the people in the photo were definitely Jing Rong and G-Dragon.
But at the same time, although Secretary Lin hopes that the child is G-Dragon's, she cannot completely rule out Zheng Yunhao because of the relationship between Jingrong and Zheng Yunhao. Moreover, she also has a global perspective. If the marriage relationship between the boss and the Zheng family is cancelled, it is really uncertain whether Xue Group can be firmly established.
With this in mind, Secretary Lin carefully glanced at Jing Rong a few times, wanting to say something, but ultimately suppressed it. Jing Rong didn't pay any attention to her hesitation. Just as he was about to sit back and continue with his official duties, there was another knock on the door. This time, without Jing Rong having to speak, Secretary Lin hurried over to open the door. Seeing the person at the door, she gave a complicated greeting: "Mr. Zheng."
Jung Yunho smiled at Secretary Lin and asked, "Are you in the hospital today?"
"Yes, there are some documents that the president needs to review. I heard from the hospital that the president is feeling much better today, so I sent them to her."
Zheng Yunhao nodded, walked past Secretary Lin, and walked in. Seeing the pile of documents next to Jingrong, he frowned suddenly: "You just got better, aren't you afraid of being tired?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just ignore it."
Jung Yunho pursed his lips: "There's no rush."
Jing Rong smiled and didn't respond to Zheng Yunhao's words. After having Secretary Lin bring tea and water, they sat on the sofa facing each other. Secretary Lin consciously closed the door and left. Zheng Yunhao took a sip of tea before asking, "You asked Quan Zhilongxi to text me to come over early this morning. Is there something wrong?"
"Of course I have something to tell you, but I hope I don't disturb your work?"
"Not really." Jung Yunho smiled and looked down at the teacup in his hand. "Have you not used your phone recently?"
"It should be at home. The situation was urgent at the time, so they didn't think to bring me a phone. Besides, considering my current condition, it's not good for me to use these electronic products."
Jing Rong didn't shy away from mentioning her cutting her wrists at home that day, but after hearing about it, Zheng Yunhao's bad feeling faded. He smiled and said, "Now you know how to be careful. After all these three or four or four or five times, the child is quite tenacious."
Jing Rong nodded and gently touched his belly, which was not yet bulging. "So we are quite compatible."
Jung Yunho nodded and changed the subject again: "So you specifically called me over here, what do you want to say?"
Jing Rong nodded and said naturally, "There are some things I want to discuss with you."
Zheng Yunhao may not be unaware of the reason why Jingrong called him here. After finding out that G-Dragon actually dragged Jingrong into such a commotion yesterday, and after seeing Jingrong completely figure it out and regain his former spirits, he knew that he had completely lost. No, in fact, he had already lost a long time ago, and he had been dragging it on until now just to make himself give up.
Jing Rong was still so natural, and used the same tone as when she was talking to Zheng Yunhao about what to eat in the evening to "discuss" their engagement. This made Zheng Yunhao feel a little unnatural, but relieved. He knew that since Jing Rong had spoken, she must do it, but her natural attitude made him feel less embarrassed. After all, they had only a verbal agreement, and it didn't matter if the contract was terminated. He had tried hard and knew that Jing Rong didn't love him, not because he was not good enough, but probably because they were not suitable. A person with a cold mind like Jing Rong, paired with someone as tepid as her, although life was not much worse, it was not much better either. Perhaps she would be most suitable to be with G-Dragon, and he was ashamed of himself for the degree to which that man loved her.
Thinking of this, Jung Yunho felt less awkward and returned to his usual state when interacting with Jingrong. He didn't seem to mind the topic at all. He even had the energy to joke with Jingrong, "I've never seen someone so calm after crossing the river and destroying the bridge like you."
"This is not like crossing the river and destroying the bridge. Didn't we agree to discuss this together?"
"Okay, I have no objection." Zheng Yunhao agreed without waiting for Jingrong to mention it, "But I have two conditions."
"you say?"
"First, you can't have an open relationship with him until I find someone."
Jing Rong raised an eyebrow, and Zheng Yunhao spontaneously explained, "It's okay that my ex-fiancée left me, but if she showed her affection with other men in public every day, and I haven't even found a girlfriend yet, wouldn't it be annoying to see her? If she gets upset and does something she shouldn't do, I'll be sorry."
"You wouldn't be so stingy." Zheng Yunhao's words were so funny that Jingrong laughed.
She probably knew the reason behind Jung Yunho's request, but she didn't show it. When she heard her say that, she felt a little disappointed: "Yeah, you pretend to be generous where you should be stingy, but you are stingy where you shouldn't be."
Jing Rong paused, not expecting a single sentence to trigger such an exclamation from him. She immediately gave up her joking thoughts and tried to persuade Zheng Yunhao. However, Zheng Yunhao also controlled his expression and looked at her with a smile: "Before I say the second request, I want to ask you a question. When you first decided to be with me, did you think my family was suitable, or did you actually think I was not bad?"
"If you want to talk about suitability, the Zhang family may not be worse than yours. Uncle Zhang and my father have known each other since childhood. Zhang Jingran and I have always had a good relationship. At least I don't have to worry about being bullied in their family." Although Jing Rong did not directly answer Zheng Yunhao's question, his words were very clear. After hearing this, Zheng Yunhao smiled, as if relieved and nostalgic.
At least she never lied to him, and she made everything clear from the beginning to the end.

For the hundredth time, I want to slap myself to death┭┮﹏┭┮
