Chapter 81, exclusively released...
"G-Dragon hyung, the maknae said you went out and messed around and got photographed. Is that true?"
The maknae (youngest member) truly never imagined that he would one day be betrayed by the thick-browed, small-eyed Kang Daesung. In fact, he didn't even have time to cover Daesung's mouth, and he didn't dare to turn around to see what expression Kwon Jiyong had. He certainly couldn't deny it, because it was Daesung who said those words.
"I'm annoyed, I'll deal with him later."
He could just beat him up, but that wouldn't help in the current situation. He had a gut feeling that the president must have made a very unreasonable request to Jiang Yalin, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry, because she actually has a very good temper.
"Tell me, what exactly did the president say to you that was so offensive?"
It's normal to go to an agent for something like this, and it's normal to get scolded. But because Jiang Yalin is now a shareholder of the company, she can't be treated like a regular agent. So Yang Xianshuo can't openly scold her; he can only do it indirectly.
That's all he could think of right now, so he never imagined that Yang Xianshuo had done something even more outrageous.
"I think it's quite good to be a person like you, because there are many people around you who will help you think of things that you haven't even thought of yourself."
These were the truth, not just empty words. Kwon Ji-yong could sense it, so his brows furrowed even deeper, realizing that the root cause of his anger lay with him.
"Forget it, you should discuss this with the company yourself and figure out how to resolve this issue."
Jiang Yalin was starting to lose interest. Although she had already made a lot of money from him through luck, acquiring several plots of land, several buildings, and shares in many large companies—enough to ensure her future comforts—she was truly angered by Yang Xianshuo's actions and naturally didn't want to continue working as Kwon Ji-yong's manager.
Her reaction made Kwon Ji-yong feel a little flustered. For some reason, he suddenly felt that Kang Ah-rin was going to give up on him and leave him. So he subconsciously made a gesture to hold her back and grabbed her hand.
"Yalin, what are you trying to do? Even if you're going to sentence me to death, you need to let me know what the crime is."
Looking down at his hand holding her wrist, Jiang Yalin didn't open it open much. She just gently turned her wrist to express her thoughts, but Quan Zhilong stubbornly refused to let go, his gaze fixed on her.
Honestly, by this point, the onlookers were too scared to speak. They were too far away to hear clearly, but judging from their expressions, they must have been arguing.
The group looked at each other, but were too timid to approach and disturb her. However, they were prepared to block the doorway and prevent Jiang Yalin from leaving if she did so.
"Sigh... I admit I'm angry with you right now, and I admit that I'm taking my anger out on you a bit. But do you know what? Your highly respected president actually told me to break up with your boyfriend, and that I would sacrifice myself to be with you. That was all to appease you, so that if you act impulsively again, someone will handle it and prevent the outside world from discovering your relationship. Do you think I can still work with you calmly?"
Like a bolt from the blue, it struck him instantly. Kwon Ji-yong froze on the spot. He didn't even dare to continue holding her hand because he felt the skin under his hand was burning hot, so hot that it hurt his heart.
How could the president say such absurd things? How could he be so disrespectful to Jiang Yalin?
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know about this. I know that I'm sorry can't make up for the hurt you've suffered. Whatever decision you make, I will support you."
After Kwon Ji-yong finished speaking, he walked past Kang Ah-rin and headed straight for the door. The four people who were ready to block the door were stunned when they saw that it was Kwon Ji-yong who was walking towards the door instead of Kang Ah-rin. For a moment, they didn't know whether to go up and stop him.
Jiang Yalin knew what Quan Zhilong was doing, but she didn't stop him. Instead, she glanced at the four of them who had turned into wooden figures, then turned and left, returning to her office.
The reason Yang Xianshuo was able to sit there and say those things to me was because he considered himself to be in a superior position, and superiors can say whatever they want to subordinates without considering their feelings.
Since YG is his source of confidence, then this subordinate in his eyes would really be letting him down if he didn't do something.
YG is great, so she doesn't mind changing the boss of the company. Maybe the company will have a better future if it's owned by Jiang than Yang.
Even though he was seething with anger, G-Dragon still knocked on the door politely instead of barging in like an ill-mannered person. After all, if he did that, how would he be any different from the person inside?
G-Dragon arrived so quickly, which Yang Hyun-suk hadn't expected. However, he probably guessed why G-Dragon had come—wasn't it to question him about why he had bullied his manager?
It looks like that woman went back and complained. You really can't tell. She's usually so aloof, but she's actually the kind of woman who keeps people hanging on to their hearts, not giving love but taking advantage of them.
Thinking this, a hint of sarcasm involuntarily appeared on his face. Kwon Ji-yong believed that the sarcasm on his face was directed at him and Kang Ah-rin, and he was right to think so.
"President, why did you do this? What did you take Ya-Lin for? I admit I like her, but that's my business. Why did you do this? What does that say about her? What does it say about me? You're completely disrespecting Ya-Lin..."
"I know you're angry, but don't be angry yet. I did this entirely for your own good. You like her, and I just casually mentioned it. If she agrees, everyone's happy. If she doesn't agree, no one loses anything. Isn't that great?"
Kwon Ji-yong stared in disbelief at Yang Hyun-suk, who looked relaxed and didn't seem to think he had done anything wrong. He felt a sense of dread about this unfamiliar person. Was this the same person who had talked to him about his dreams and offered to help him achieve them?
"President, you..."
He couldn't say anything more at that moment, because he realized that no matter what he said, he probably wouldn't understand what he had done wrong.
"If you're worried that Jiang Yalin will hold a grudge against you because of this, it's okay. She'll be fine in a few days. After all, I didn't do anything, and I didn't force her. She wouldn't quit just because of my suggestion that I did for your own good, would she? She's a shareholder of our company, and I did all this for the company's benefit. I think she, who gets paid every year, should be able to understand."
Kwon Ji-yong had given up on the idea of continuing to argue with him. He felt that his previous thoughts were really too naive, because he and Yang Hyun-suk were not on the same wavelength at all. Moreover, he was extremely disrespectful to women. Even Kang Ah-rin, who was a shareholder of the company, was just a plaything that he could sacrifice for profit at will.
"I understand. I'm sorry to have bothered you today. I'll head back now."
The superficial appearances must be kept to a minimum because one still needs to work under him. However, before switching jobs and having a foolproof way to fight back against him, the facade cannot be torn off. After all, he is just a small-time artist who cannot fight against inhumane capitalists.
She forced herself out of the office, then turned and punched the wall. This was partly an outburst of frustration at her own incompetence, partly anger at Yang Xianshuo's disgusting face, and partly a feeling of helplessness at the injustice done to Jiang Yalin.
However, he quickly composed himself and walked back to his studio as if nothing had happened. He then started drawing and writing in his notebook, which was filled with random scribbles reflecting his current feelings.
Jiang Yalin, having packed her things, swaggered out of the company, leaving the staff members who watched her leave with her belongings looking at her with puzzled expressions.
Looking at the suitcase she was using for resignation, Jiang Yalin chuckled softly. She had done it on purpose; even though there were simpler, more discreet bags available, she still chose the obvious resignation suitcase.
So in less than ten minutes, the news of BigBang's G-Dragon's exclusive manager leaving the company swept through the entire YG Entertainment, and even 2NE1, who were out on their schedules, heard the news.
When Lee Yeon-jin heard Park Sandara say that Kang Ah-rin had resigned, she was completely stunned.
"who?"
"Jiang Yalin-xi."
"What's wrong with her?"
She resigned!!!
"who?"
...
Lee Yeon-jin asked several times, and Park Sandara was speechless. She really wanted to say, "Are your ears blocked with earwax?"
Lee Yeon-jin thought and thought, and finally couldn't resist taking out her phone and sending a message to G-Dragon.
G-Dragon, lost in his own emotions, was unaware of this and ignored the constant ringing of his phone until a knock came at the studio door. Only then did he reluctantly get up and open the door.
"So you're here. Why didn't you answer the phone? The president wants to see you and wants you to go to his office right away."
Seeing the concern in his friend's eyes, G-Dragon closed his eyes briefly and finally asked in a hoarse voice.
"Do you know why the president wanted to see me?"
He had just left his office not long ago, and I have no idea why he's contacting me now.
"Don't you know?"
Dong Youngbae's reaction puzzled him, and then he frowned and asked a question in return.
What should I know?
An ominous premonition arose in my mind, and my friend's next words confirmed it.
"Yalin resigned without telling anyone, she just left."
Although he had a vague premonition before, he did not expect it to come so quickly. After all, there were still a few days of procedures to go through, right?
"Who else knows about this?"
"Before, everyone knew except you; now everyone knows."
