Chapter 22 Concert
After lunch, G-Dragon was planning to go on an intimate date with his girlfriend and continue the topic that was interrupted by his childhood sweetheart this morning. But just as he was about to speak, the phone rang. The president of YG Entertainment called personally to urgently pursue her. G-Dragon had no choice but to hang up the phone, looking at Jingrong with some guilt: "Sorry, Jingrong, the president just called and asked me to come back to the company immediately..."
"It's okay, go back and get busy."
Quan Zhilong expected Jingrong to be straightforward, but the more she acted as if she didn't care, the more worried he became. However, it was not easy for him to say anything at this time, so his eyes fell on Taiyang: "Yongpei, you are free today, why don't you accompany Jingrong for me? We will have dinner together tonight."
"Okay, call me when you're almost done and we'll come find you at the company."
After G-Dragon left, Jingrong and Taeyang had obviously more topics to talk about. Taeyang didn't think much of it and just thought that when he was around, Jingrong didn't interact much with his gay friend because he was shy - it was obvious that G-Dragon thought so too. When he first arrived at her office, his girlfriend hugged him passionately. Later, his childhood sweetheart came and didn't even let him hold her hand. His awkward and shy look was quite charming.
"Do you know of any bands with good-looking people who play music well? Preferably a mixed-gender band."
"I need to look carefully for this. Why, do you need it?"
Jing Rong nodded. "I'm planning to open a bar in Jiangnan District. I'm currently renovating it. I'd like to invite a few bands to perform there. Fame doesn't matter, as long as they're good-looking and have infectious music."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you." Taiyang nodded readily. After being in the entertainment industry for so long, he still had some connections. He then asked, "When are you planning to open?"
"The renovation is nearing completion and we'll probably be able to open next month."
Taiyang was surprised: "So close? I guess I have to hurry up and help you contact them."
Jing Rong was not polite to Taiyang at all and nodded, "Of course, the future of the bar depends on you."
"So I'm shouldering such an important mission."
"You could also say that those who are capable should do more work." Jing Rong stood up and asked, "Anything happening this afternoon?"
"fine."
"I'm going back to the office to take care of some things. Come with me to the bar later to check on the progress of the renovations?"
"Okay." Taeyang nodded, thought for a moment and said, "But I don't know much about bars, so it's best to ask Jiyong Top or Seungri to help you. They're quite interested in this."
"That's nothing. I've already hired professionals to guide me, but perhaps laymen like us can see something different."
As Taiyang and Jingrong walked out of the box side by side, he smiled and said, "How dare you call yourself an outsider?"
I am indeed a frequent visitor to bars and nightclubs, and my nightlife is even richer than G-Dragon's. However, facing Taeyang's obvious teasing, Jingrong spread his hands without any guilt: "Of course, I really haven't done any research on bars."
Jing Rong emphasized the word "research" when he spoke, but Taiyang thought he was playing word games with him and smiled carefreely: "Okay, I've been fooled by you."
Jing Rong also smiled slightly, his expression becoming even more cheerful. It only took a few minutes to get from the restaurant to the office area. Jing Rong and Taiyang walked side by side, chatting and laughing all the way. When they came out of the elevator, they ran into Secretary Lin and several employees. Jing Rong kept a cheerful smile on his face and said to Secretary Lin, "Secretary Lin, please inform everyone that the meeting that was not completed this morning will continue in ten minutes."
Secretary Lin nodded: "Okay." After watching Jing Rong and her friends enter the office, Secretary Lin did not continue chatting. She turned back to her office area and grabbed the phone on the table, "Minister Chen? This is Secretary Lin. Please come to the conference room for a meeting at 1:30... Yes, the president just ordered it. Maybe she has other plans later, so the meeting is moved up. Sorry, I have to hang up now. We still need to notify other ministers... Are you worried that the president is still angry? Don't worry about that. As long as the plan is fine, the president should not be angry. Yes, the president is in a good mood now..."
In early March, Big Bang had three concerts in Seoul. This was the first stop of Big Bang’s world tour, which had been prepared almost since they returned to the stage last year. The concert had a huge impact, with performances running from the 2nd to the 4th. This concert shocked not only South Korea, but during those days you could almost see friends from all over the world coming and going in Seoul, speaking a variety of languages, but they were discussing only one topic - Big Bang.
Bigbang really put in all their effort this time, and it was from this time that the Chinese people finally knew how high they had risen to - so sometimes setbacks are the only way to success. If it weren't for the accidents that happened to GD and Daesung last year, fans would not know how they were an inseparable existence in their hearts, and everyone would not be able to see how deep Bigbang's potential was. They are no longer a group that can be easily defeated and destroyed. Maybe from now on, Bigbang will become a symbol of culture.
The era of Big Bang has truly arrived.
As the girlfriend of Captain Kwon, Jingrong is actually a little subtle about the topic of Big Bang being discussed everywhere, but this is not the point. From one perspective, Big Bang's concert has boosted the economy of Seoul, and fans from all over the world come here to get food, clothing, housing and transportation. Golden Years has become very popular during this period, because fans have paid attention to the news that Big Bang had eaten at the Golden Years restaurant before. Afterwards, Seungri even specially tweeted to praise the top chef. Moreover, Taeyang has been in and out of Golden Years several times and has been photographed by fans. Fans don't know the reason behind it, they just think that Big Bang has a special love for Golden Years. It's not easy for them to come to Seoul, and they have the opportunity to breathe on the same land with their idols. It's also good to be able to get closer to them. With the mentality of loving the house and loving the dog, many fans directly chose the Golden Years hotel when booking their tickets, resulting in a shortage of rooms in Golden Years this week.
Unfortunately, Jing Rong didn't attend the concert on the 2nd and 3rd because they were recording "Future Choices" during those two days. "Future Choices" became a huge hit, and Jing Rong has a large number of fans behind her. Her Twitter followers are even as many as those of ordinary celebrities. Therefore, she has to pay more attention to her words and actions.
In this episode, there was an applicant who wanted to work in the media industry. During the conversation, he talked about the recently popular Big Bang. As soon as the applicant expressed his point of view, the interviewers started to have problems. Everyone expressed their opinions and it was very lively. The applicant who was ignored was a little embarrassed. MC Song Joong-ki came out to smooth things over and asked the twelve interviewers who their favorite member of Big Bang was.
"...Our beautiful Jing Rongxi would probably be very interested in this topic, right?"
Jing Rong smiled slightly: "So I feel very sorry, I should be at the concert right now."
"Has my charm declined to this point? Jing Rongxi, do you know that your regret has become my heartache?" Song Zhongji's exaggerated expression won applause from the stage and the audience. Then he said, "So Jing Rongxi should be a fan of Big Bang? Then, who do you like most among them? GD or TOP?"
"I prefer the sun."
Because this was a recruitment show, Song Joong-ki couldn't chase the guests and ask why like he would on other shows—even though many people at the scene, including him, were curious. Song Joong-ki remained professional and nodded, "Okay, then, Jing Rongxi, who likes Big Bang's Taeyang, do you have any unique questions for our job applicants?"
The topic was easily brought back on track, and the entire program recording went smoothly. After the program ended, many audience members ran to the side of the stage to interact with their idols and ask some professional questions. At this time, there were quite a few people around Jing Rong, but before she could answer, Dong Yang brought a beautiful girl over.
"Jingrong."
Jing Rong walked out of the crowd and walked across to Dong Yang: "Why are you here?"
"I'm working overtime today. I heard you were recording a show, so I came over to take a look. And how about we have a late-night snack together?"
"No problem, I just happened to need you for something." Jing Rong glanced at the girl next to Dong Yang and said with a smile, "Girlfriend? She's very beautiful."
"No, Dong Yang and I are just friends." The girl had a gentle voice. She extended her hand towards Jing Rong and introduced herself, "Hello, Jing Rongxi, I'm Zhang Jing, a reporter for xx magazine."
Jing Rong reached out and shook hands with Zhang Jing. Dong Yang said, "I've reserved a table. I'll go over first. Let's eat and talk."
Zhang Jing appeared gentle and soft-spoken, but she was a straightforward person. As soon as they sat down and ordered, she began explaining to Jing Rong, "This is what's going on, Jing Rongxi. Our xx magazine is a professional women's magazine. Unlike today's entertainment magazines, it combines beauty with content knowledge, teaching women and girls how to become outstanding women of the new era. Therefore, each issue has a dedicated section introducing successful women of this era. We've also interviewed the two seniors who worked with you on 'Future Choices.' So, Jing Rongxi, would you be interested in being the guest for our latest issue?"
