Chapter 15 Chance Encounter
Brother Long endured this for several days, thinking that his girlfriend's condition would be better after returning to China. Their new album was released recently, and although there were many activities, they were all held in China. G-Dragon calculated that no matter how busy they were, there would still be opportunities to meet occasionally.
In fact, what he thought was right. There were indeed many opportunities to meet each other, and encounters were everywhere.
Jingrong's schedule was still tight this time. The return trip was arranged at the last minute. Then he booked the ticket and rushed to the airport. After passing the security check, he hadn't sat in the waiting room for a minute before boarding started again. The time was so accurate that Jingrong didn't remember that he hadn't informed his nominal boyfriend until he was on the plane. Before the plane took off, he quickly called Quan Zhilong. After waiting for more than a minute, no one answered. Jingrong hung up the phone and called Dong Yang. The call was quickly connected: "Dong Yang, it's me, Xue Jingrong... Yes, I'm on the flight and will be leaving soon... Are you going to pick me up at the airport? No, it's nothing serious. Okay, see you later."
Jingrong and Minister Li were sitting in first class, while the other employees were in economy class. Minister Li's seat was right next to Jingrong. Seeing her making several calls in a row, he asked with a smile, "Are you calling your boyfriend?"
"No, this is my schoolmate. He is now the planner of a program for SBS and wants to cooperate with our hotel."
"They want us to sponsor their show?"
"It's sponsorship, but they don't need funds." Jing Rong smiled and said, "I'll talk to him again when I get home today. If there's no problem, we can hold a meeting tomorrow."
Minister Li nodded and said with satisfaction: "The president is so capable, your father can finally relax."
"I'm still young and need more guidance from you, Uncle Li."
Minister Li shook his head: "You have some of the demeanor of the president when he was young. It is not for us to point fingers at you."
Dong Yang was waiting at the exit on time. Jing Rong gave some instructions and asked Secretary Lin and other employees to follow Director Li back to the hotel. She got into Dong Yang's car. While steering, Dong Yang glanced at Jing Rong and asked, "You don't look very well. Did your business trip go well?"
"Fortunately, the talk went smoothly, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so soon."
"That's right, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to catch up."
Jing Rong smiled and asked, "What will you do if I can't catch up?"
"What else can I do? Just keep waiting."
"Am I that important?"
"Of course." Dong Yang said exaggeratedly, "If this is a group, then you are definitely the face of it. A young and beautiful female president is exactly what everyone fantasizes about."
"Didn't you say you were making a large-scale, serious show, different from everyone else? Why do you need so many gimmicks?"
Dong Yang shrugged and said nonchalantly, "But it's better to have packaging than not. Gold must shine, otherwise who would notice it?"
"Well, it's a bit of a waste of your talent to be a planner with your eloquence."
"Can I assume you're trying to poach me?" Dong Yang smiled and asked, "Let's go eat first. I'll take you to the studio later."
Jing Rong nodded, and Dong Yang asked again: "What do you want to eat? I heard that you like Chinese food, but you just came back from there, so you should change your taste, right?"
"There's a good Thai restaurant near your radio station."
Jing Rong had to catch a morning flight, and it was lunchtime when she came out of the airport. After lunch, she followed Dong Yang to SBS. Although Dong Yang was young, he was quite capable. Many people at the radio station knew him and greeted him along the way. Neither Jing Rong nor Dong Yang brought assistants with them. It was easy for people to think of something wrong when two beautiful young people walked together. When they greeted them, the SBS employees all had smiles on their faces. Jing Rong pretended not to see it, and Dong Yang didn't want to explain to everyone that they were partners or something like that, so he had to parade around SBS with meaningful looks all the way.
The program studio has a separate floor. It has a different feel and is less crowded. Jing Rong and the others just came out of the elevator when the elevator door opposite opened. It was the hosts and guests for today's program recording. Dong Yang greeted Zheng Hengdun and the others and was about to take Jing Rong away. But a voice came from behind the hosts: "Jing Rong?"
Jing Rong turned around and saw the gentle smile of Taeyang first, and then saw Quan Zhilong with complicated eyes behind Taeyang. She smiled and said, "I called you before but you didn't answer. I just got off the plane."
Seeing this, Dong Yang lowered his head and asked Jing Rong in his ear: "Are they all your friends?"
Jing Rong nodded: "Yeah."
So they had to be introduced again. Dong Yang had seen Taiyang before, so he greeted him first: "Long time no see."
Taiyang smiled and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that Mr. Dong, you are the youngest planner of SBS that MC Zheng and the others mentioned."
After Dong Yang finished greeting all the members of Big Bang, Jing Rong was still standing there. Quan Zhilong paused and decided to go over there himself. But before taking a step, he put his arm around Taeyang's shoulder. Taeyang was chatting with Dong Yang and just glanced over. Quan Zhilong smiled and asked, "You know each other too?"
Taiyang glanced at Jingrong and said, "I met Jingrong when we had dinner together that day."
Just as they were walking along this staircase, Quan Zhilong walked towards Jingrong, put his arm around her waist very affectionately, and asked in her ear in a voice that everyone could hear: "I haven't even met your friends yet."
There was some obvious grievance in the little baby voice. Such an intimate tone and gesture did not need any further explanation. The people around immediately showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. Jing Rong hadn't spoken yet. She liked people to be intimate with her, hugging her waist, shoulders, pinching her ears, etc. She would feel very kind and comfortable when relatives, friends or lovers did this to her, but she would get goose bumps all over her body when people she didn't know did this to her. Jing Rong left first and tried very hard to overcome the small bumps that appeared all over her body, trying to resist the urge to push Quan Zhilong away. Before she could answer, Dong Yang quickly took over: "Although we are from the same school, we have only recently become familiar with each other because of work. Maybe Jing Rong hasn't had time to tell you yet."
Quan Zhilong nodded, hugged Jingrong's shoulders, and stretched out his hand to Dongyang: "Thank you for helping to pick her up at the airport."
Dong Yang smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Across from him, Seungri had been leaning on Daesung's shoulder, winking at Kyungyoung. Kyungyoung finally spoke, and she raised her head slightly, explaining in G-Dragon's ear, "We're collaborating with SBS recently, and I came here to visit. I didn't know you were at the station today, otherwise I would have texted you."
Hearing this, Quan Zhilong finally felt better and nodded. He hugged Jingrong tightly and just nodded without saying anything. Jingrong thought that he had probably coaxed him, so he pushed Quan Zhilong and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I still have things to do."
"In the afternoon, we..." Quan Zhilong just opened his mouth, but Jingrong was already talking to Taeyang: "I brought back some Chinese specialties this time, and the roast duck you mentioned last time..."
When he heard about food, Shengli didn't even look at his brothers' expressions and interrupted Jingrong very actively: "Sister-in-law, do I have a share?"
Jing Rong nodded: "Everyone has a copy. If you don't have time to pick it up, I can have it delivered to your company."
Seungri grinned, and seeing G-Dragon's smile faded, he felt that he should give his brother a push. Besides, if he and his wife had a good relationship, his wife would take care of him like her own maknae! Seungri knew what was going on and said, "When we have time, when we have time, my sister-in-law said she would treat everyone to a meal last time, so why don't we get together..."
Taiyang knocked Shengli on the head and said, "Jingrong said he would treat me, and he has already treated me. If you want to eat, you have to pay for it yourself."
"Stingy." After muttering softly, Seungri said excitedly, "If my sister-in-law doesn't want to treat us, then Brother Zhilong can treat us."
Before anyone involved could express their opinion, Taiyang said, "Alright, let's talk about this later. We should get back to work."
Quan Zhilong nodded, one hand still on Jingrong's shoulder, and with the other hand, he carefully smoothed her hair. He said, "We should finish around 5 or 6 this afternoon. Can you wait for me here?"
Jing Rong frowned when he heard this, looked at his watch, and said, "How about this, after you finish the recording today, take everyone to the hotel for dinner, and I'll wait for you there."
Quan Zhilong nodded: "Okay."
"Okay, I'll be over first." Jing Rong said, and after greeting everyone with Dong Yang, he turned and left. Quan Zhilong's group was still sighing, and Seungri pulled the two male hosts and gestured excitedly: "That's Zhilong's girlfriend. Do you know who she is? She's only two or three years older than me, and she's already the president of a five-star hotel!"
One of the hosts smiled and said, "Isn't Victory College also doing very well?"
"That's different." Shengli said with a beaming face, "The point is not the young female president. My brother Zhilong's girlfriend is the only daughter of the chairman of the Xue Group. She's a rich girl. In the future, the entire Xue Group will belong to her..."
