Chapter 95, exclusively released...
"You're being really rude! What do you mean by 'don't dress like a thug'? I call that fashion, don't you understand?"
Even when Kang Ah-rin questioned his fashion sense, Kwon Ji-yong was somewhat displeased and immediately retorted. As for his earlier curiosity about her new boyfriend, it was all forgotten at that moment.
"Heh... I really am out of touch with your style. I know that if I wore your clothes out, I would feel very embarrassed. So when we take the group photo, you need to dress like a human being. Otherwise, when the photos come out, my family and friends will think I run some kind of brothel, since there are a row of little brothers and sisters standing behind me."
"...It's not that exaggerated. Wouldn't it be impressive if G-Dragon were your subordinate?"
Kwon Ji-yong tried to struggle relentlessly, but Kang Ah-rin simply wouldn't give in.
"I don't need your so-called pomp and circumstance. Please leave me alone. Just dress normally, that's enough pomp and circumstance for me."
As for why we had this conversation today, it's because the company decided to take a family photo. So much has happened in the past, and now we've moved to a new building and the company is about to go public. Everything seems to be going very well for the company, which is why we decided to collaborate.
Thinking about BigBang and 2NE1's usual styles, Kang Ah-rin felt it was necessary to talk to this fashion pioneer, otherwise she couldn't imagine what kind of look he would wear for the photoshoot that day.
Normally, it wouldn't matter if it didn't affect her, and she wouldn't mind if she dyed her hair red. But this time was different. When taking pictures with her, she absolutely couldn't have all sorts of different colored hair around her. People who didn't know her would think she was someone who sold wigs in all sorts of hair colors.
"Alright, alright, we'll all be in suits and act as your bodyguards, okay?"
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, he stopped arguing. He knew he couldn't win anyway, so he figured he might as well change the subject.
"That person just now?"
"What's wrong? Have you taken a fancy to someone?"
G-Dragon was so surprised by her answer that he almost laughed in exasperation. He was just curious, so why couldn't he hear a single kind word from her?
"Alright, put away your curiosity. This is different from before."
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Jiang Yalin found it amusing and put down her pen. She leaned back slightly, putting all her weight on the chair, and looked at Kwon Ji-yong, whose expression had changed because of her words.
"Are you so sure he's different? I just glanced at him and I can't see any way he compares to Soo-hyuk and Jung Yong-hwa."
"Yeah, what can you tell from just one glance? With your taste... if it weren't for a suitor who's really too outstanding, I don't know what kind of scumbag you would date."
This attack was incredibly powerful. Kwon Ji-yong felt a pang in his heart. Don't misunderstand, he was just angry. He suddenly realized that Kang Ah-rin's dislike and rejection of him might not be entirely without reason, as she was thinking of him.
"I can see that you have very high standards when it comes to your boyfriend's height."
The issue of height has made even G-Dragon, who previously had no complaints about his height, feel somewhat short. Why isn't he over 180cm? If he were...
Stop, stop, stop your ridiculous thoughts, G-Dragon. Think about her lips, which could be poisoned with a single lick. Being with someone like that will only give you a heart attack sooner or later.
“He is indeed different from them. He makes me feel completely under my control. Since taking this position, I have desperately needed this feeling to make up for it.”
...That sounds like something out of a fairy eating people, how scary....
"Alright, stop asking about my relationship status. Just like I never ask about yours. I only ask if you've written a huge hit song that can make my wallet bulge."
Jiang Yalin is a little different from before, but Quan Zhilong can't quite put his finger on what's different. However, every time he notices her, she will show him her old self again, proving that she hasn't changed.
It's been so long since I last saw him, and to see him again, I was surprisingly able to remain completely calm. That's really unexpected.
On the day of the photo shoot, Lee Yeon-jin, who saw G-Dragon on set, did not rush to his side as she usually would upon seeing him. She simply smiled and greeted him, just like an ordinary senior or junior colleague, and their relationship was not even as close as that of the other members of 2NE1.
In the past, Lee Yeon-jin would never have believed that he and Kwon Ji-yong would end up like this. There were no arguments, no big fights, just a quiet departure.
Yeonjin has finally distanced herself from me. I feel a little down, but mostly relieved. Yeonjin is a junior I really value; she's a lot like me and very talented. He felt their relationship could be friends, siblings, or competitors, but never lovers. He knew what kind of person he was, and if they were lovers, they would inevitably never speak to each other again.
But looking at the somewhat polite Li Yanzhen now, he felt a pang of sadness. It shouldn't be like this, but he couldn't bring himself to say, "Let's go back to the past!" He couldn't even bring himself to think that.
The plot, which hadn't appeared for a long time, reappeared the moment the male and female leads first met. Jiang Yalin was very satisfied with the two people's thoughts. It wasn't that she didn't allow office romances, but dating within the same company, especially under these circumstances, would be really troublesome if they broke up after starting a relationship.
BigBang is now the mainstay of YG Entertainment, and 2NE1 also holds a significant position within the company, serving as its flagship girl group. She doesn't know if future groups will surpass these two, but she does know that YG is currently relying on these two groups to stay afloat.
Taking family photos is definitely much simpler than taking group posters. All you have to do is sit there and smile at the camera, which is why Jiang Yalin agreed to take the photos.
The moment the family photo was released, the hashtag "YG CEO's visuals" immediately trended on social media. Compared to the popular BigBang and 2NE1 members, everyone's discussion revolved around YG CEO Kang Ah-rin.
—Nobody told me that YG's CEO is this good-looking?!
—She's so beautiful. If someone hadn't specifically told me that she was the CEO, I would have thought she was a new rookie launched by YG. I was thinking, "This newcomer is really arrogant standing among her seniors." Now all I can say is, YG's visual representative is actually the CEO.
—Hahaha... What the person upstairs said is hilarious, but I have to admit it's true. YG's visual center is actually the CEO. This is truly a joke from hell.
—It's so good-looking, it's a pity I'm not an idol, but it's okay. Starting today, I declare that I will be a YG family fan. My number one choice is YG's CEO Kang Ah-rin. Everyone else is just a casual fan. Whoever my idol lets debut, I will like them. Whoever makes my idol money, I will praise them online.
—I looked at Jiang Yalin's profile. She's the same age as Brother Long, born in '88. I was also born in '88. Some people have already become hot superstars through their talent, buying whatever they want. Some people at this age have become presidents of large brokerage companies, controlling the future of many people. And some people are still in front of their computers, eating spicy strips and Wahaha drinks while sipping makka pak ka.
—Hey upstairs, stop talking, I'm getting emotional QAQ~
Jiang Yalin's unexpected rise to fame was something she hadn't anticipated, but she didn't take it to heart. However, this sudden fame did bring a slight change to her life.
First of all, she can no longer walk freely on the street as before. Although many passersby used to stare at her, they would only look and not come up. But now, many girls look at her with bright eyes and then cautiously come up to ask if they can take a photo together.
Actually, she wasn't used to this kind of thing, but when faced with girls' cautious inquiries, Jiang Yalin couldn't bear to refuse. So, one photo after another of her with different girls appeared online, and then even more people came to take pictures with her when they bumped into her.
Even when she and Bai Zhiyu went shopping, they encountered fans who wanted to take photos with them, and Bai Zhiyu's photos were then uploaded online.
As we all know, netizens are omnipotent. In less than an hour, all the details about Bai Zhiyu were exposed.
At first, I thought this guy was an artist or trainee under YG Entertainment, since he's really good-looking. Now... I'm tired of saying I'm envious. Can I have a couple of days like Sister Kang?
—But I'm different. I envy that pretty boy. Since he can serve our Sister Jiang, I really want to be that pretty boy, sob sob...
—That's how it should be! This is the kind of life we strong women should live. Sister Jiang fulfills all my fantasies about young, beautiful, and rich women.
—Tsk tsk tsk... Shouldn't a woman's primary responsibility be to be a good wife and mother, staying at home and taking good care of her family? What kind of woman is she now? She still thinks men should support women while she supports men outside the marriage. Really... I wouldn't dare marry a woman like this, because I wouldn't even be sure if the child in her belly is my own.
—Upstairs, when you typed these words, were you so envious you were practically grinding your teeth in frustration, wishing you could take that man's place? Too bad, he's no good at anything, ugly and short, no woman would be interested unless she's blind. As for men, well, maybe you could try selling your backside.
I don't know which comment provoked the man upstairs. Maybe it was because he's ugly and short. After all, Korean men can't stand that kind of attack. He led this netizen in a full 100-post tirade, only to be completely broken down by the man's question, "Are your hands tired from all that tirade?"
