Chapter 17, exclusively released...
Of course, being humiliated in public, especially by a woman, was very unpleasant for a Korean man with an extremely chauvinistic personality. However, he also had his own sense of magnanimity and didn't want to argue with a woman. He then turned to look at BigBang's manager.
"Remember this is one of your team members? Is this how your staff works? You bullied my employee right in front of me. Do you even want to continue filming the show?"
BigBang's manager was sweating profusely. At this time, BigBang was not yet the BigBang they would become in the future. Moreover, idols are already at the bottom of the entertainment industry, and they really couldn't stand up for themselves when facing a show's producer.
To be honest, even though he didn't see the whole thing, he could probably understand why Jiang Yalin suddenly hit someone. It was probably because the man had spoken rudely to her first, so the girl was just acting in self-defense.
However, there is hardly any fairness in this world. There are many unspoken rules in the workplace. If you are in a weak position and are bullied by others, you can only grit your teeth and endure it if you want to continue to survive in this circle, until one day you can climb over the other person and fight back, or you can only leave this circle.
Knowing this, BigBang's manager still made the most advantageous choice at the moment. So he looked up and glanced at Kang Ah-rin. That one glance was enough for her to know what the manager's choice was, so she spoke first before he could.
"Do you want me to apologize? How should I apologize? Should I say sorry for not understanding his hints, sorry for not being sensible enough to let him sexually harass me, sorry for being a bit blunt and exposing his sensitive and insecure male chauvinism, or sorry for not standing still and letting him hit me when he wanted to, but instead fighting back? Is that how I should apologize?"
After her words, the entire room fell silent. Many girls in the audience admired Jiang Yalin for her courage to refute others in public, a courage that they themselves lacked.
What they didn't know was that Jiang Yalin's rebuttal not only had courage, but also confidence. It was because of this confidence that she was unwilling to suffer losses in everything.
“PD-nim, I think PD-nim must be quite troubled by having someone like this in your team. After all, such a person can really affect your team. My assistant may be a bit blunt, but she was on the defensive the whole time. What do you think, PD-nim?”
Quan Zhilong stepped forward to speak up for her. If he didn't, he was afraid that Jiang Yalin would go on a rampage. He could tell that his little assistant was not one to suffer losses. But then again, who would want to suffer losses?
In addition, the assistant's family background was obviously quite good. Although he still couldn't understand why she would come to be an assistant, even though she said it was for Seven, he still felt that this reason was not very convincing.
The program's producer: ......
Knowing that continuing to argue with a mere assistant would indeed be beneath his dignity, he glared fiercely at Jiang Yalin, then glanced at the man lying on the ground, still clutching his wound and groaning.
"Still lying there, do you want me to take you to the hospital? Are we still going to film the show?!"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire studio immediately relaxed, as everyone knew that the producer had let the matter drop.
Looking at the man who obediently got up from the ground with a pale face, Jiang Yalin curled her lips into a sarcastic smile.
[The little assistant... is still too straightforward. A personality like that really isn't suited for the entertainment industry.] While relieved, Kwon Ji-yong was more worried. Why was he worried about a little assistant? Well, she was his assistant now. If he didn't protect his own person, would he just let others bully her?
Upon hearing this plot, Jiang Yalin's sarcastic smile froze instantly, her head filled with question marks. She really wanted to ask Quan Zhilong how she suddenly became his woman.
It's possible that it was because Jiang Yalin had just hit someone in his team, or it's possible that Kwon Ji-yong was giving them face but actually didn't give them any face at all. So, during the following filming, he deliberately made things difficult for all the BigBang members. But it doesn't matter. After more than a year of experience in the entertainment industry, they've become seasoned veterans. When dealing with these kinds of things, they either play dumb and laugh it off, or they dig another pit in the other person's hole and make them fall into it willingly. After a few times, everyone can get along peacefully.
"What can I say to you? How could you hit someone in public? It's only because the producer didn't pursue the matter further, otherwise, how much trouble would you have caused our team?!"
As soon as Jiang Yalin returned to the company, her manager called her aside and scolded her. She knew that this matter had nothing to do with the other party, and that the young girl had been forced into a corner, but she couldn't hit anyone.
"So you think I can't defend myself and just let him bully me, is that it? How much money did he give me? Just a pittance, is it worth me suffering so much? Or are you that kind of person too?!"
Outsiders have already criticized her, let alone her own company's employees. In fact, her own company's employees are even more shrewd in their criticism. She came here to be an assistant, not to be a servant. She's already in this situation, and you still expect her to put up with it? If her parents found out, they'd quit and go home in a heartbeat.
"Hey!!! You....."
The agent was so convinced by her words that he felt dizzy for a moment. He looked the girl up and down and saw her "I'm not wrong" expression. He felt a splitting headache.
He originally thought the most difficult members of their team were the BigBang members, but now, an assistant who is even more difficult to manage than the BigBang members has arrived. For a moment, he doesn't know who is the superior and who is the subordinate.
However, seeing the designer clothes she was wearing and her overall demeanor, he knew that she was not an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. She had probably had a smooth life and had never suffered any setbacks. Therefore, he now thought that Quan Zhilong's previous question was really good.
"Sigh... From now on, you'll be Kwon Ji-yong's personal assistant. I'll handle the external affairs and diplomatic matters. Just behave yourself from now on..."
"...I understand. That's alright then, I'll be leaving now..."
Jiang Yalin didn't say anything more about this arrangement. In fact, she knew that if it were an ordinary person, they would have been fired long ago. The fact that they were still here today saying these things to her was already a good thing, so she didn't want to add fuel to the fire.
But in the end, he couldn't resist and stopped just as he was about to turn around.
"I don't like hearing that last sentence."
She ran off after saying that, leaving her manager standing there, fuming. He really hadn't expected this young girl to be so bold. Was this newcomer to the workplace really so fearless and defiant? But a smile flickered in his eyes as he thought about it.
"Still too young, so full of youthful arrogance, acting like everyone else has these things..."
"I'll be practicing at the company from now on, and there's nothing else going on. If you want to leave, you can go back now."
Seeing Jiang Yalin return looking relaxed, Quan Zhilong finally felt relieved. He knew that the matter was over. As long as it didn't reach the president, it was a minor issue. If it did, there was nothing he could do.
Upon returning home and hearing that she could leave work, Jiang Yalin's good mood was elevated once again.
"Do you need me to order food for you before you leave? Or will you eat out on your own?"
As her newly appointed personal assistant, Kang Ah-rin felt obligated to take care of Kwon Ji-yong, who had spoken up for her today.
Having witnessed Kang Ah-rin's incredible power today, Kwon Ji-yong felt that some people were afraid of Kang Ah-rin, who was so easy to talk to.
Why is she suddenly being so friendly to me? Could it be...?
"Since I've officially become your personal assistant now, I feel a little embarrassed that I'm leaving get off work before you've even left the company. Of course, if you don't need it, just pretend I didn't mention it."
That was close; I almost got misunderstood.
Jiang Yalin looked at Quan Zhilong with a forced smile, and took two steps back in fear when she saw him.
"No need, I'll go to that Chinese restaurant with Yongpei and the others later, so you don't need to worry."
"It's not that I'm worried, I just wanted to ask. Since I don't need it, I'll leave now."
Anyway, I've already gotten my share of good luck today, so now I need to think about how to use it. Although I'm also curious to see if there will be any new sparks between Kwon Ji-yong and the fourth female lead, the most important thing right now is to rationalize this good luck.
Thinking about it, Jiang Yalin left with light steps. Watching her departing figure, Quan Zhilong and the others frowned deeply.
"What are you looking at? You wouldn't...."
Dong Young-bae looked his good friend up and down with a suspicious gaze. Although he shouldn't think that way, Kwon Ji-yong was worth it.
"...I have a girlfriend..."
As a good friend of many years, how could Kwon Ji-yong not know the meaning behind his unfinished words? After a long silence, he replied without saying a word.
Then, the moment he spoke, Dong Yongpei's brows furrowed deeply.
"What do you think?"
He genuinely couldn't understand it. He felt something was off about the way Kwon Ji-yong and Kim Jin-ah were getting along, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. After all, he had never been in a relationship and didn't really understand how these people dated.
Is this how this guy behaves when he's in a relationship?
Thinking of this, Dong Yongbae's face was full of resistance to love.
