Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Poaching the crooked chicken丨Forum style (unethical...
"Zhilong, you seem to have something against that girl?" This was the second time Brother Tiger discovered that Quan Zhilong had met this junior, and this time they even started to argue with each other.
After meeting her for the first time, Choi Jae-ho searched for the girl and found out that she was Quan Xingai. In 2017, she had a scandal with her boss, which caused a lot of controversy and also caused her idol career to plummet. After not seeing the girl for a few years, she has changed a lot.
"Brother Lao Hu, I have never seen a junior so brave. She... Never mind, I heard it before. It turns out that the rumor that Zisha was hospitalized was because she was rescued. She is just a child. Why should I care about it?" Quan Zhilong shook his head while sitting in the car. He was getting his hair done today to attend his sister's wedding. He didn't expect that he would meet Quan Xing'ai during his few vacations recently.
"I am also surprised that this child has changed so much in just two years," said Cui Zaihu.
"Oh? Brother Tiger, have you paid attention to this guy before?" Quan Zhilong became curious.
"Because her story is quite famous, the media always likes to report her news. They even compiled several lists of so-called "regrettable girl group idols", and she ranked quite high." During the two years that his boss was in the military, Choi Jae-ho's work was much less busy. He only occasionally participated in the security services of other groups in Waiji, so he would hear a lot of gossip in the circle.
"Mo, why is there such a ranking? Who are they?" Quan Zhilong asked with a smile.
"I can't remember, but the first one is Park Jin-ri, and the second one is Sarah Xingai from RD." Choi Jae-ho shook his head. He was only paying attention to the people and things around Zhilong.
After Tiger Brother said these two names, Quan Zhilong's smile disappeared. Zhenli... Well, he and Zhenli had a good relationship, but they rarely contacted each other since she suffered from depression and her mental state was not good. Even after that, she dated a boyfriend like that. His mood fell again.
"The media only speaks in sarcastic terms. Isn't it the media that caused them to become like this?" He himself was one of those attacked by the media, so after hearing this boring review, he felt even more how courageous it was for All Star Love to recover and start again.
Cui Zaihu also sighed.
"So, has that guy been scolded badly in the past two years?" Quan Zhilong asked after looking at his phone in silence for a while.
Cui Zaihu looked at the boss in the rearview mirror, looking down at his phone, thought for a moment, and spoke calmly.
"The public opinion is indeed bad, but her bigger problem may be her mental state. The negative news about her decreased in the first half of last year, but when she failed the college entrance examination, the media started covering it extensively again. When she returned at the beginning of this year, her performance on stage was clearly affected by herself, and the results were not good, so fans and the media were criticizing her..."
"Is that why I smoke to relieve stress..." Quan Zhilong said to himself. He regretted his attitude today.
"What?" Cui Zaihu asked because he didn't hear clearly.
"It's okay, let's go to the villa. My sister's place is about to start." Quan Zhilong shook his head and said nothing. He lowered his head to play with his mobile phone and logged into an anonymous forum to search for Quan Xingai's name.
Title: Transfer "A member of a 'big hit' girl group is said to have been rescued by Zisha"
1L: Big explosion? How big explosion! Riddler, get out of here!
2L: It won’t be a “big explosion” like the Blade Group, it’s a typical example of someone reaching the peak as soon as they debut.
3L: Is the knife 2 purple clay?
4L: Go and commit seppuku! Knife 2. The movements in the live shot of your return to the stage in the first half of the year were as soft and fluffy as my grandma's kelp soup. How can you dare to go on stage with this level?
5L: (imitating the tone) "We will work harder" What's the point of working hard? Why not just rely on that face and wait for GD to be discharged from the army, and see if he will give her some popularity kkkk
6L: Did Dao2 really go to the hospital? I think they'll have a comeback single in November, right?
7L: Damn, you bastards are just hyping things up. Are you trying to gain sympathy by using the Zisha News? He's an orphan and claims to be an excellent student, but he can't even get into university. How ridiculous!
8L: The 4th floor is lying. Blade 2 is just a little afraid of the camera and can't release the action. Where is it soft? (Animated picture of the swing) When it's not the main part, the force is so strong that it can shake your Hu pen.
9L: Oh my, you living SD fan, to be honest, you might as well buy a real SD doll instead of using Knife 2.
10L: Think of something good, the knife group is the group that I have never seen that will tear apart parts, because it is just a mess kkk
11L: The 7th floor is really not afraid of being sent a lawyer's letter by Japan. The only good thing about your company is that Japan is a good company. Japan is really suing people. The stubborn defendants in the previous batch are still eating instant noodles to pay off their debts.
12L: Even the best company can’t stand a few years of neglect. Japan is going to launch a boy band and is said to be poaching three artists who want to terminate their contracts.
13L: Please accept it for me, Allah! (Praying devoutly) Being a chaebol boss is awesome! But why are you so blind to Quanxing Ai?
14L: So where did this revelation come from?
15L: I searched and found that the information released by D agency was purely text, with no pictures. However, it seems that it has been rescued. Damn, what a pity!
16L: What's going on with D-Company this time? There's no pictures? Is it really purple sand? Could she be pregnant and having an abortion?
17L: kkkkk netizens are so vicious, I like it so much.

Unable to continue scrolling, Quan Zhilong closed the webpage, anger rising in his heart, "Has she been living in this kind of environment for the past two years? These people are really..."
Tiger Brother saw Quan Zhilong's angry expression and said, "Perhaps those people are just unhappy with their own lives, so they are unscrupulously spreading their malice towards others, not to mention that Quan Xingaixi is an orphan."
"That's true for this kid...but she's the only one who can make it as an artist on her own."
"Not everyone is like you, able to survive those cyberbullyings."
Quan Zhilong smiled bitterly, "Is this a compliment? I myself am confused about the future."
Choi Jae-ho knew that Kwon Ji-yong had been negotiating with the company recently about the team, contracts, and subsequent comeback arrangements, but Waiji had a new girl group, and the public's response to Korean pop was not enthusiastic, and they were prejudiced because of previous events. The company did not plan to promote the Korean group, and Kwon Ji-yong was very conflicted.
Until he arrived at his sister's wedding at Walkerhill, there was no smile on his face and he looked quite indifferent. Only when the ceremony began and he faced his family did his mood slowly relax.
After the wedding, the others will stay in the hotel until tomorrow morning. Quan Zhilong feels a little homesick and wants to go back. He misses Iye and Zoa. His mood has been on the edge of fluctuation recently and he is a little confused.
"GDxi, what a coincidence, meeting you here. Oh yes, today is Damei's wedding, what a coincidence."
Kwon Ji-yong was waiting for his sister in the hotel cafe, and then he met his senior Moon Eun-joo, who happened to be the president of neon and an investor in Dal-mi sister's clothing brand welldown.
"Senior Eun-joo, I don't think I met you at the wedding today. My sister even said it was a pity." Kwon Ji-yong stood up and greeted Moon Eun-joo, and the two of them simply chatted for a while in the cafe.
"The wedding is for family and friends, so I won't participate as I have a business relationship with you. The gifts and the thoughtfulness are enough."
"You're so kind. You've been a benefactor and good friend to my sister. I'm so sorry about that news two years ago. I couldn't do anything back then."
Wen Enzhu smiled faintly, waved her hand, took a sip of coffee and spoke slowly: "It's already in the past, and that incident was also the responsibility of the crooked chicken. You are just one of the victims."
Quan Zhilong could only nod. He didn't know what to say about the company. However, Wen Enzhu obviously didn't intend for Quan Zhilong to say anything. She continued to ask, "The turmoil of 2017 has finally come to an end today. So, GDxi, what about you? Have you thought about your plans after discharge from the army?"
Kwon Ji-yong looked up at Moon Eun-joo in surprise. He met President Moon at the investment meeting of his sister's brand, and later apologized to President Moon for the scandal. It has been almost two years since he was discharged from the army at the end of the month. Why did she suddenly ask about his plans when they met by chance this time?
"I haven't thought of any plans yet, let's take it one step at a time." Quan Zhilong smiled sociably.
"If GDxi wants to continue playing music without any worries or constraints, you can actually consider neon." Wen Enzhu put down her coffee and finally stated the purpose of the greeting.
As soon as she entered the hotel, she saw GD sitting in the cafe. After thinking about it, she deliberately created this encounter. She knew that the company's profits were currently declining, and it was hard to say what would happen to RIOT DOLLS in the future, but that did not stop her from thinking about GD. Moon Eun-joo certainly knew about Kwon Ji-yong's feelings for Wai Ji, but that was before his military service. His contract would expire next year, and Moon Eun-joo would not be able to sleep at night if she didn't try this opportunity.
"Sister Eunjoo, you..." Kwon Ji-yong looked up in surprise, his social expression gone, staring at the other person with his round eyes.
"Don't be so surprised. I'm sincere. The company won't have any requirements for you. You can join neon by purchasing shares. I'll do my best to meet any musical requirements you have. In fact, neon's resources are completely idle right now. I spent a lot of money to establish the company, and RD is currently tepid. You can definitely join the company and become a freelance creator."
Moon Eun-joo is very smart and directly seduces Kwon Ji-yong from the perspective of music and freedom. After all, who can beat a crooked chicken in playing the favor card?
"I haven't retired yet, so these issues will probably have to wait until after I retire. But thank you Eun-joo for the invitation, and I'll keep it in mind." Kwon Ji-yong still politely thanked President Moon for his suggestion. In fact, he hadn't thought about leaving Waiji, but he had to say that Moon Eun-joo's words did make his heart waver.
"Think about it carefully, Zhilong. As an elder and a friend, you don't need to accompany Waiji into the quagmire. You also know that the new president has taken office and Waiji's bad luck is still continuing. Yang Xianshuo is a person who will probably not have any friendship when the time comes. He will use you until the last moment." Wen Enzhu smiled kindly.
As the youngest daughter of a wealthy chaebol, she grew up with her grandfather. Rather than inheriting the family business and working at it, it was her grandfather's idea to start her own business. Earlier this year, her older brother, who grew up with her and is only two years her senior, officially succeeded their father as chairman, further strengthening the capital behind neon.
When Kwon Dami changed her wedding dress into casual clothes and went downstairs to see her brother, she saw him staring at the coffee cup in front of him, lost in thought.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Are you in a bad mood today?"
"Nuna, you're so slow."
"You have a lot of people to meet, and you don't want to go upstairs. Are you okay? I asked you to wait just to ask why you're in a bad mood today. Is it because of some media nonsense again? Or is there something going on at the company again?"
"It's okay. I did see some bored netizens venting their frustrations online today, which made me a little upset, but I'm fine now."
"That's good. You'll be discharged soon. Be happy." Kwon Dami patted her brother's shoulder.
"You said I'm discharged from the army. How will the company arrange my comeback?" Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but ask.
Quan Dami sighed, "Don't even think about it. With Waiji in this state, President Yang probably won't let you return."
Quan Zhilong shrugged helplessly. Everyone said so...ah...
The brother and sister chatted for a while, and Kwon Dami let her brother go home to rest before confirming that he was fine. Kwon Ji-yong, sitting under the starry sky of the Rolls-Royce, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, with Moon Eun-joo's words lingering in his ears.
In fact, if he does not renew his contract, going to a new company like neon that has no connection with other old entertainment companies and has a strong background is indeed the best choice. But on the other hand, he has been working at the old Waiji for more than ten years, and it is difficult for Kwon Ji-yong to make up his mind to really think about not renewing the contract.
