Chapter 10, exclusively released...
"...I'll take that as a compliment, but I've thought this through carefully, and I have my reasons."
Kang Ah-rin felt a little helpless about Lee Na-young's words, but she was still willing to explain seriously to her friend. After all, in Korean society, Lee Na-young was clearly several years older than her, yet she was willing to address her as a friend instead of making her call her "unnie" because of her age. In fact, this was considered outrageous behavior in Korea.
During my four years of university, she was the only close friend I could confide in, which is why I was willing to tell her so much.
"Sigh...you...never mind, since you have your own considerations, I won't say any more. But being an assistant isn't easy, so don't push yourself if you're tired."
Although she didn't understand why Kang Ah-rin wanted to become an artist's assistant, Lee Na-young didn't try to persuade her otherwise.
"But then again, it probably wasn't because of Seven oppa, was it? I didn't know you liked Seven oppa so much!!"
Lee Na-young's shocked expression was undisguised. After all, although Kang Ya-rin said she liked Seven oppa, after observing her for more than a year, she really couldn't see much enthusiasm for Seven oppa from her. If it weren't for her regular one or two days a week to stake out the YG building, she would have thought that she had given up on pursuing him.
".....no."
"Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. You know what's going on in your heart. But if you really do get into YG, please give me Seven oppa's autograph if it's convenient. Of course, if it's not convenient, don't force yourself."
She was a few years older than Jiang Yalin, so she could tell that Jiang Yalin didn't want to talk much about why she wanted to become an artist's assistant. Li Naying didn't want to do anything to upset her, so she quickly changed the subject and started rambling on about her plans after graduation.
"I'm planning to go on a trip first, for a year. I'm going to use this year to have a good time, and then I'll become my brother's assistant, hahaha, so he can pay me a salary and support me!!!"
At the height of her excitement, Lee Na-young put her hands on her hips and couldn't help but burst into laughter, thinking that her arrangement was absolutely brilliant. Looking at her arrogant appearance, Kang Ya-rin really felt sorry for her brother. This wasn't being an assistant; it was practically being treated like royalty. However, her brother would probably be quite happy. It was better to have his innocent sister under his nose and torment him than to go out and be deceived and regret it later.
They had a farewell dinner, but of course, it was just a formality. They wouldn't really cut off all contact after the meal. When they parted, Lee Na-young, unusually emotional, teared up and hugged Kang Ya-rin.
"Starting tomorrow, we won't be able to see each other every day anymore, Yalin. Please don't block me. And if you have time in the future and I ask you to go shopping, please don't refuse..."
Lee Na-young talked on and on for a long time, but in the end, she was taken away by her brother who came to find her sister. When he left, he looked at Kang Ya-rin with a guilty expression, as if to say: You've gone through all this trouble.
Watching them get into the car and leave, Jiang Yalin forced a smile, only to find that her lips were stiff. The joy she had initially felt about getting close to Quan Zhilong after graduation had faded considerably due to the separation from her friend.
"Jiang Yalin...you'll be entering the adult world soon..."
————————
"May I ask why Kang Ah-rin chose to become an artist assistant at YG Entertainment?"
"You want to ask why I don't work as an artist myself, but instead work as an artist's assistant, right?"
Faced with the other party's doubts, Jiang Yalin directly addressed them and looked them straight in the eye.
"Just think of me as someone who is curious about the lives of celebrities, but doesn't want to take on the responsibilities that celebrities have to bear."
curious?
The interviewer who interviewed Jiang Yalin had a momentary lapse in expression; he truly hadn't expected such an answer. However, after his gaze swept over her, he roughly knew the answer.
The one in front of us is clearly a rich young lady from a wealthy family. Because she is not short of money and her family background is enough to support her curiosity, she naturally does whatever she wants.
However, he assumed that the other party was after Seven. After all, even though BigBang is doing quite well now, they haven't reached the point where the young lady would be their assistant, so he naturally misunderstood.
Even if he guessed that the other party might be there for Seven, he couldn't possibly arrange for this young lady to join his team. Although he knew that Seven already had a girlfriend, if another young lady as beautiful as her appeared, who knew if Seven, as a man, would fall for her?
So to prevent this from happening, he resolutely refused to put the young lady who came to experience life into his team. Since he couldn't put her into Seven's team, he could only put her into BigBang's team. He just didn't know if those young men could resist her.
In just a moment, the interviewer had already decided on Jiang Yalin's destination. After all, there was no reason to refuse. She was a graduate of the Chinese Department of Seoul National University, and if she went to China for activities in the future, she would even save the cost of hiring a translator. It was like paying for one employee and hiring two employees. What a good deal!
The interviewer mentally raised two fingers and happily made a "V" sign, but on the surface, he maintained a calm and gentle expression.
"Jiang Yalin is very talented, and our company has no reason to refuse you. However, one of our artists' teams is already full, so we might assign you to Bigbang, the boy group that debuted last year. What are your thoughts?"
What are your thoughts?
Of course not. She entered BigBang's team without any effort. Nothing could be better. It was all within Kang Ah-rin's expectations that she could get what she wanted so smoothly. Who told her to meet our male lead and second female lead when she entered YG today?
Honestly, over the past year or so, she has probably managed to piece together the storyline from that time on and off.
Currently, Kwon Ji-yong and the female lead are on an extremely delicate cusp, with the male lead dissatisfied with the female lead's paranoia and constant surveillance.
As mentioned before, Kwon Ji-yong is the kind of person whose passion comes and goes quickly. He falls in love easily, but his romantic life is unpredictable. The female lead's behavior will only exacerbate the problems between the two of them.
To be honest, the fact that the two were still talking was a huge surprise to Jiang Yalin. In order to avoid being noticed by the male and female leads, she tried her best to create chance encounters every time. She didn't want to become a thorn in the side of the female lead, who was already somewhat insane.
As for the second female lead, Jiang Yalin really couldn't understand what she was thinking. She understood that liking someone was uncontrollable, but even though the other person had a girlfriend, she still chose not to give up and even secretly stirred up conflicts between the two. Jiang Yalin couldn't stand this behavior. No matter how many problems the couple had, it was their business. As an outsider, you can't be the reason for their breakup.
However, Jiang Yalin's evaluation was merely that of an observer. As for what those caught in the vortex were thinking, she had no idea. Perhaps they were deeply pressured by the giant.
So when she saw the male lead and the second female lead chatting and laughing at the company, she wasn't too surprised; all she felt was joy at having secured her interview that day.
After all, she's run into her lucky charm again; it's hard for her not to have good luck.
While she was thinking about these two people, the other two were also discussing Jiang Yalin.
"Wow, is that a new trainee at the company? We're under a lot of pressure. She's really pretty, but we don't know how good she is."
As Lee Yeon-jin spoke, she kept glancing at Kwon Ji-yong's expression. She couldn't help it; Kang Ah-rin was just too beautiful, making her feel very threatened.
"I don't know, but she's Zhen'er Nuna's neighbor. I'm quite surprised to see her here."
Quan Zhilong was actually quite familiar with Jiang Yalin, as he would occasionally see her near the company over the past year. He was initially surprised, but later discovered that she was actually a fan of Seven. This discovery surprised him even more, because she didn't seem like someone who would be a crazy fan, much less someone who would behave in a way that the agency would follow.
Undeniably, the reason I remember her is mostly because of her face—she's so beautiful that it's impossible to ignore her. But there's also the fact that she's my girlfriend's neighbor, though not much of it.
"Really? Then why didn't Oppa say hello just now?"
Li Yanzhen is still testing the waters.
"Why should I greet her? I'm not familiar with her, and she must have something important to do when she comes to the company. It would be too presumptuous to just go up and say hello."
Unaware of her probing, Kwon Ji-yong's attitude returned naturally, and Lee Yeon-jin seemed to have confirmed something, a huge weight lifted from her heart.
Fortunately, Oppa isn't a superficial person, otherwise she would have had one more rival.
"Alright, I have something to do here, so I won't talk to you anymore. You need to practice hard too. The company will definitely be launching a girl group next, and I hope to see your name on the debut list."
Kwon Ji-yong reached out and patted her head. After doing so, he turned and left, but what he was thinking about was why Kang Ah-rin had come to the company.
