Chapter 71, exclusively released...
Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly felt a wave of fear. She felt her soul gradually slipping out of her control. Even though Jiang Yalin hadn't said anything, she seemed to hear her say something like...
Kang Ji-won, I really hope we never see each other again. Without you, my life will be more wonderful.
She felt as if she was about to leave Jiang Yalin's body, a feeling that made her very uncomfortable. She tried hard to cling to her, but this was not something she could have just because she wanted it. In the end, she could only watch helplessly as she was separated from Jiang Yalin's body, and finally stood aside as an observer watching the two people standing together.
A multitude of expressions flashed across her face, including jealousy, envy, and frustration. These mixed emotions made her beautiful face appear somewhat ferocious.
She saw Jiang Yalin glance at her with both heads turned towards her, but quickly looked away. She wanted to rush up to her and shout to get her attention, but she felt as if she were locked in place and couldn't move.
This feeling of helplessness filled her with panic. She struggled to break free from her current state, but just like before, she remained powerless.
She could feel her life slowly slipping away, and her already transparent soul became increasingly transparent until it was almost invisible.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyuan gradually felt afraid. She wanted to scream, cry, and beg for mercy, but it was too late. Her body seemed to turn into specks of light, starting from her feet and slowly extending to her legs, then to her body, and finally her head disappeared. In other words, she watched herself disappear.
The moment Jiang Zhiyuan completely disappeared, Jiang Yalin felt a lightness in her body, as if a heavy stone that had been pressing down on her for a long time had vanished.
Her unusual behavior was immediately noticed by Kwon Ji-yong, who had been keeping an eye on her.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Why did she leave?"
"Her? You mean...."
Kwon Ji-yong, who suddenly realized who the 'she' Kang Ah-rin was referring to, immediately showed a relieved expression.
Although it's unfair to others to say this, he's still very worried about Kang Ji-won possessing Kang Ah-rin for so long. After all, others only have one day, but she's been possessing him for several days. He's really afraid that one day when he sees Kang Ah-rin again, it will be Kang Ji-won's version. That would be a nightmare for him.
Hearing that she had left her body, and regardless of whose body she would possess afterward, was at least good news for him at this moment.
"I have even better news, would you like to hear it?"
Although she didn't understand why, Jiang Yalin had a premonition that Jiang Zhiyuan's departure this time was a complete departure, possibly related to the previous teleportation scene. This time, Jiang Zhiyuan was completely destroyed with her departure.
Although she felt a sense of the impermanence of life, Jiang Yalin was still happy about her departure. Even if the other person's soul might have perished, she was still happy because no one would shed tears when faced with the death of someone who wanted them dead. She would feel that it was hypocritical. After all, in this kind of struggle where it's either you or her, she naturally hoped that she would be the one to survive.
"What better news?"
With the weight lifted from his heart and having won the grand prize today, Kwon Ji-yong was in an incredibly good mood.
"She'll never come again. So, isn't it a shame to lose an admirer?"
Kwon Ji-yong was speechless at Jiang Yalin's teasing, but he was secretly happy because she hadn't spoken to him in that tone for a long time.
"If everyone else were like her, I would rather have none of them."
What's the difference between an admirer like this and a stalker?
Her departure had no impact on them whatsoever, like a drop of water flowing into a stream, leaving no ripples.
With the busy end of the year over, BigBang has reaped many rewards, and G-Dragon has begun preparations for his solo album.
Actually, the decision to announce the album was made even earlier than the album release date. August 18th, which is his birthday, is indeed a very special and celebratory day.
When G-Dragon is at work, he becomes incredibly fastidious and nitpicky, to the point that Yang Hyun-suk doesn't really want to see him.
Even though he had already done his best, he could always find something to criticize in the details and make corrections. But it was precisely because of this meticulous attitude that the staff, although unhappy, would still do as he said. After all, everyone wants the work they are involved in to be better. Moreover, he wasn't just pointing fingers randomly; he had reasoned points and provided solutions.
However, before G-Dragon's first solo album, YG's new girl group, 2NE1, was released. After several years of preparation, this girl group, which was comparable to BigBang, finally made its debut in May and swept the entertainment industry. Their typical YG music style made the whole industry go wild.
Lee Yeon-jin successfully stayed with 2NE1. At this time, she truly faced Yang Hyun-suk's sharp tongue. When she saw him indiscriminately attacking the appearance of the 2NE1 members, she finally couldn't hold back and retorted in front of the members.
She had no choice but to speak up. Seeing that Park Bom was about to start thinking about getting plastic surgery because of the suppression, Lee Yeon-jin felt that if she didn't say something, Park Bom might follow the same path as in her past life.
Despite being a real-life Barbie doll, Li Yanzhen almost ruined her career due to plastic surgery and suffered widespread ridicule, a scene she did not want to see.
Although she liked G-Dragon very much, she also kept these older and younger sisters in her heart after getting along with them. If she could save Park Bom from a tragic future from the beginning, why wouldn't she do it?
However, her behavior did anger Yang Hyun-suk. After all, he wasn't a particularly petty Korean man and often made things difficult for her in various ways. But because she was so outstanding, other agencies were also keeping an eye on her, so they didn't let her go. And so, despite Yang Hyun-suk's constant harassment, she successfully debuted with 2NE1.
The night before her debut, Lee Yeon-jin came to see Kwon Ji-yong. At that time, his solo album was almost ready and he was about to start filming the music video, so he was in a pretty good mood. If she had come to see him a month or two later, she might have been rejected. So, sometimes timing is really important.
"Oppa, I'm debuting tomorrow!!"
G-Dragon was actually present at the audition that determined the final members of 2NE1. He had always been a big fan of Lee Yeon-jin, and even thought that "if the CEO doesn't choose her and eliminates her, he must be out of his mind." Otherwise, how could he have eliminated the most outstanding ACE trainee in all aspects? Could it be that he was infected by JYP next door and started eliminating all the trainees with potential?
Park Jin-young: ...? Huh? I have scenes here too?!
Looking at Lee Yeon-jin, whose eyes sparkled with excitement, G-Dragon seemed to see himself back when he was about to debut. He was just as excited back then, so excited about his upcoming debut that he couldn't sleep all night.
However, two or three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she has transformed from a green newcomer into a rising star, and she is about to release her first solo album since her debut.
Even before his debut, he was already looking forward to releasing a solo album. Now that he's finally going to have his solo album, he no longer feels the excitement and nervousness he had when he first debuted. All he feels now is the desire to perfect his solo album.
"Debuting is not the end, but the beginning of a new battlefield. After you debut, you will find that the harm you suffered in the company is insignificant, because the harm and malice had a reason, but the malice and harm afterward were unprovoked. I want to tell you not to care, but I don't think I can do that right now. So what we can do is turn the harm from those people into motivation."
Perhaps what he said wasn't what she wanted to hear. As someone who had been through it all, he genuinely wanted to say these things to his junior as a heads-up.
Lee Yeon-jin naturally knew that Kwon Ji-yong was saying these things for her own good. Although she had never been in the entertainment industry in her previous life, she had been a fan of celebrities for a long time and knew about the darkness of the entertainment industry. What she knew was probably only one ten-thousandth of that darkness, but even this small tip of the iceberg was enough to warn her.
But she didn't come here today to hear these things; she still wanted a promise.
"Oppa, I've debuted too, so could you wait for me a little longer, until I work hard to climb to the top and join you, and then you..."
"Yeonjin, you shouldn't be working hard for me. You can work hard to climb to the top for yourself, for 2NE1, or for the other members of 2NE1, but not for me. I can't support your future, and I can't give you any guarantees. Do you think I'm the kind of person who can honestly wait for you these past few years?"
The last question left Lee Yeon-jin speechless. Seeing her silence, Kwon Ji-yong felt a pang of sadness, but he felt that some things needed to be said beforehand, otherwise it would be a waste of both her and his youth.
"I can't give you any guarantees because I've always only ever seen you as a junior, a little sister. You might think that what I'm saying is scumbag talk, and that's really what I think, otherwise I wouldn't have said this to you."
"Not even a little bit? Has it always been just me having a one-sided crush?"
Li Yanzhen's eyes were red at this moment, and she choked up as she spoke. Although she had prepared herself for the possibility of being rejected, she still couldn't help but shed tears when she heard these gentle words of rejection.
"sorry."
Lee Yeon-jin left with her face covered, and Kwon Ji-yong was not in a good mood either. He stared at the closed door for a long time before suddenly saying something.
"Hey, this brat, she actually didn't argue with me saying I wouldn't just sit there and wait for her to finish her sentence!!!"
