Chapter 43 Chapter 43 New Boss丨The company’s new major shareholder…
At the beginning of April, the media suddenly began to report that the captain of the Korean team, Kwon Ji-yong, had officially started talks with Waiji on the issue of contract renewal. A few days later, it was revealed that Waiji offered a sky-high renewal fee of 20 billion won, but Kwon Ji-yong's side had not yet finalized the agreement.
News surrounding the contract renewal began to be serialized on the Internet every day like a foot wrap.
The first day is "It is suspected that Quan Zhilong is dissatisfied with the arrangement of the crooked chicken"
The next day, "Shock! Police launch drug tests on Korean groups again, with GD first in line."
Day 3: Waiji announces it will actively cooperate with police raids
Day 4: "It is understood that Waiji has raised the renewal fee to 400,000, but GD has not responded yet."
…
Every day, the news revolved around contract renewals and the seemingly unrelated drug tests, creating a massive drama. A week later, the official news finally came out, concluding the story: "G-Dragon announces the establishment of his own studio, thanks Waiji for his 19 years of companionship." "Misunderstanding! Police say the summons for drug testing by the baseball team was a media misconception."
During the pandemic, with everyone working from home, watching gossip and enjoying the entertainment has become a favorite pastime. Nearly all netizens voted in favor of Kwon Ji-yong's departure, with the ratio of dislikes to likes reaching a staggering 1:9. With last year's "Waiji" scandal still fresh in people's minds, public opinion of the group and Kwon Ji-yong has become even more divided. Most people don't want to see the group again, while at the same time sympathizing with the captain and other innocent teammates.
Now that Kwon Ji-yong has taken the initiative to not renew his contract and open his own studio, the public has given a positive attitude.
[To be honest, with GD gone, what else does Waiji have left? It should go bankrupt.]
[This kind of pharmacy should have closed down long ago. GD finally figured it out! ]
[It's said that President Yang is very unhappy and furious! He didn't want to let him go, but it's all because Waiji is in a difficult situation right now.]
How come Wai Ji still hasn't exploded yet? I don't have any hostages in Ji She's hands anymore, so I can just watch the fun.
[I'm glad to hear this, but please don't let anything happen to you!]
[Is this a personal studio? Is the group contract still a scam? Ahhhh tonic! ]
[The person let him go reluctantly, the group will definitely not let him go, how could Wai Ji's last father let him go so easily?]
[Great! Solo artist Kwon Ji-yong, please take good care of us! ]
[That all-out news a while ago was just a bunch of self-aggrandizement. It really made me laugh. What the hell? It's like my brother didn't renew his contract because you didn't pay him enough.]
[Also, the fake news about the police subpoenaing for drug testing disgusted me. It was 100% posted by Waiji himself.]
[This time, I really didn't expect my dragon to leave on its own initiative. Oh my god! The sun is rising from the west!]
How should I put it? After the so-called D agency leaks earlier this year, my brother suddenly reappeared and posted a quick video, even hilariously liking another female idol's name. He disappeared for almost two months, which was quite unusual. It wasn't until Taeyang named him in the challenge that he finally reappeared and posted a piano piece without even showing his face. The piece was "Last Lover," and at the time, I felt the imagery was very similar to "Last Dance"! At that time, I suddenly had the idea of not renewing my contract, but I didn't dare say it out loud because the hope was so slim. I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly! Now all I can think about is, "Aa ...
[Win a lucky draw! Share this news and enter a random draw at 818!]
[Good day! Ahhh! Today is Dragon Country's new anniversary! My brother is free from suffering!]
[Today, the Dragon Egg has granted amnesty to the world! ]
…
Quan Xingai was a little surprised to see this series of news. Quan Zhilong was leaving Waiji? And setting up his own studio? At the same time, she felt relieved. Finally, her previous words of advice to him were not in vain.
-Oppa, congratulations on setting up your own studio! Where is it? Did you start planning it while you were in Japan? You didn't even tell me in advance.
-No need for verbal congratulations. He clearly saw my car before but ran to Song Kang without even saying hello. I will remember this grudge.
-Then I'll apologize to you next time we meet... (cat head with starry eyes.jpg)
-Haha, maybe we can meet soon (iye death gaze.jpg)
She smiled and did not comment when she saw Quan Zhilong's message about meeting soon. It had been a month and a half since they returned from Japan, and they would never meet if they didn't take the initiative to make an appointment. So Quan Xingai was very relaxed, thinking that it was just an excuse made by the other party. Anyway, she was a master of deception, and she would apologize next time they met. Who knew when they would meet?
"Xing'ai, ever since the renovation of this place was completed, you have been lying in your own studio whenever you have free time. You are probably here when no one is available." Yin Yanzhen pushed the door open and saw Quan Xing'ai slumped on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, and said speechlessly.
"Oh Mo Yanzhen, do you want to lie down together for a while?"
"Don't lie down. There's a company meeting today. Did you forget? They said there's something important to announce. It's probably the new boss coming."
"Ah, the meeting is today? I thought it was tomorrow... so sudden..." Quan Xingai perked up. A new boss! No one knew who it was, but they said he was a senior in the industry and very authoritative... After thinking about it, the only possibility was Teacher Li Xiuman!
"Come on, come on, we're all here except you. I guess you forgot the meeting time. Tomorrow's meeting is about selecting songs for the new album!" Yin Yanzhen took Xing'ai out and saw the empty super luxurious production room opposite with the door open, and boxes of things and some equipment were being moved in.
"Hey, is there a new producer coming next door? Or is Mike going to change rooms?" Quan Xingai asked curiously.
"There are more and more producers in the company now. Because of the epidemic, the junior group has postponed its debut date. Fortunately, the president doesn't rely on us neon to make money..." Yin Yanzhen joked.
"That's right...how long has the debut of our junior group UTOPIX been delayed?" The two of them took the elevator downstairs while gossiping about the company's internal affairs.
"It seems like it will be soon, maybe next week. I can see my brothers practicing dancing in the practice room every day recently." Yin Yanzhen said.
"That was quite fast. I met a few of them taking promotional photos the other day. Their gradient fluorescent purple hair color and cyberpunk style looked quite handsome." Speaking of the handsome junior brother, Quan Xingai's eyebrows lit up again.
"You... you just talk like you're a contestant, and you haven't really had a relationship in such a long time..." Yin Yanzhen was speechless about Quan Xingai's behavior of just talking but not doing anything. She was used to this guy who only talked.
"Let's have a meeting!" Quan Xingai smiled cunningly and ran skillfully to the corner of the meeting room blocked by the flower pots. Judging from the situation, all the free people in the company came to today's meeting. No wonder the meeting was held in the multimedia hall. The new boss was so proud of it.
Quan Xingai didn't pay attention to the company's meeting. She lowered her head and played with her mobile phone, occasionally looking up at President Wen's speech, listening with one ear and out the other.
"...This new partner is not only our new shareholder but also our new artist. I promised to bring a superstar to our Neo team before, and now I have fulfilled that promise. He is not only a new shareholder of Neo, but also what I consider to be the top producer and artist of K-pop. Welcome, Gdragon Kwon Ji-yongxi, to Neo as a partner."
Quan Xing's hands paused, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked up straight ahead. The multimedia conference room fell into silence, everyone unable to believe their ears. What did President Wen say? Their company has a new shareholder, a new producer, and you're telling me that person is GD?
Quan Xingai's phone fell to the ground with a heavy "bang", attracting the attention of several people in the front. Quan Zhilong, who was wearing a yuppie suit, a hat and Chanel plain glasses, turned his head elegantly, then stared at Quan Xingai with a half-smile, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and made a "tsk" sound.
Then he stood up and bowed to the people at his new company, saying hello generously yet slightly shyly, "Hello everyone, I'm here to thank President Wen for his help and enthusiasm. I'm looking forward to joining neon. Thank you everyone. Although I'm joining as a partner, I won't make any comments on neon's operations or decision-making. You can rest assured."
"Oh my god, it's really GD! Do you know Xing Ai?"
"Oh my god, our company has made great progress! A while ago, there was talk that GD senior was setting up his own studio, but I didn't expect that this studio is right here in our neon!!!"
"Ahhhhhh mom, my idol! She's in the same company as me!"
There was chatter and discussion everywhere. Even Quan Xingai's teammates opened their mouths in surprise and couldn't help but look at Quan Xingai.
Jeon Seong-ae's mind was completely blank, and she even forgot to control her expression. Kwon Ji-ryong, who was still speaking at the front, would occasionally glance at the frightened girl, then reveal a smug and satisfied smile.
"How could I know this in advance? Look at my panicked expression. Oh no... I'm dreaming, right?" Quan Xingai took a long time to regain her soul and said to her teammates in disbelief. She could hardly believe her eyes and suspected that all this was a dream.
She looked at Quan Zhilong again, and it happened that he was also looking at her with a smile. The brackets at the corners of his mouth made him look very friendly, but Quan Xingai felt that this smile meant to make her look good.
It's over! Quan Zhilong's new company is neon! No wonder he texted her saying we'd meet soon! This guy, this guy did it on purpose! He deliberately didn't tell her, just to scare her.
Well, she was indeed frightened, and her heart was beating so fast as if it would jump out of her chest. She didn't listen carefully to what was said in the meeting, but just stared at the back of Quan Zhilong's head, as if she wanted to stare a flower out of him.
After the meeting was finally over, she saw the president and Kwon Ji-yong chatting familiarly about something. He looked very comfortable and did not look like a new artist joining the company. He looked like the new boss.
"Let's go, Xing'ai, do you want to talk to GD senior?" Yanzhen pulled Xing'ai out of the meeting room, and seeing that she was still looking at Quan Zhilong, she asked.
"I don't want to chat with him. Let's go..." She shook her hair and strode away in anger.

"It seems like Ji-yong and Sung-ae have become quite familiar with each other since their trip to Japan," Moon Eun-joo teased, noticing that Kwon Ji-yong had been paying attention to Jeon Sung-ae, who was slacking off during the meeting. She only heard about Jeon Sung-ae and Kwon Ji-yong's trip to Japan later, and she was stunned for a moment. How did these two know each other? So familiar that they were traveling together?
"Yes, I unexpectedly spent a month there with Xingai and the others and gained a lot. It indirectly made me decide to leave Waiji." Quan Zhilong spoke restrainedly, without mentioning too much about the complicated feelings between the two.
"It's rare to see Xing'ai look so surprised. Honestly, even the completely unexpected comeback results didn't make her look like this. Zhilong, your appearance really seems to have scared her."
"She probably thought she wouldn't see me again after the trip to Japan, but suddenly found me in front of her, and maybe had to see me day and night, so she looked so terrified." Kwon Ji-yong laughed, thinking of Jeon Xingai's ghost look just now. He had to say that he was really too proud. He found that expression cute just thinking about it.
"I'll ask the media to review those false reports about you from Waiji, as well as the rumors about you and Xingai..."
"President Moon, please also include this in your marketing strategy for changing companies. That scandal has caused her so much trouble. I want you to try to keep the news about me and her low-key in the future. She has a talent for songwriting and is a rare genius. Star Love will become popular sooner or later and doesn't need any extra eye-catching news." Kwon Ji-yong asked Moon Eun-joo seriously.
When they first met, he looked at her with tinted glasses and could use her as a shield for his scandals without caring at all. But now, the more he gets to know her and the longer they know each other, their relationship changes, and his heart also slowly changes, becoming more complicated and indescribable.
The more he cared and the more uncertain he was, the more he wanted to hide it. Unlike his past high-profile relationships, he didn't want the outside world to know their true relationship until he had figured out what to do with Quan Xing'ai.
"Yes, I get it. It's Yang Xianshuo's biggest mistake not to cherish you, but now the best card in Kpop is Neo. Don't worry, I won't force you to write or release songs. I am also your fan and hope you can truly enjoy making music." Wen Enzhu patted Quan Zhilong's shoulder.
She is a loyal fan of the first generation of Korean Wave. GD debuted at the end of the first generation and later debuted as the captain of a Korean group. She can be considered a "mom fan" who watched him grow up. This time, she severely dampened Wai Ji's enthusiasm, which is the second thing that makes Moon Eun Joo happy after RD's successful comeback and resurgence.
After Kwon Ji-yong left her office, Moon Eun-joo thought about it and called D agency. Kwon Ji-yong joining the new company was bound to cause another public opinion storm. She didn't mind dragging Wai Ji to play with public opinion. Wai Ji had a lot of information about him anyway. She had clearly agreed to break up peacefully with Yang Xianshuo before, but she still tricked GD when he announced his departure.
Wen Enzhu is the daughter of a capitalist. She grew up in love and did not have to bear any family responsibilities. Therefore, she is a pure idealistic vengeful person who will not forget to kick Waiji when he is down whenever she gets the chance.
