Chapter 93 The Depth of Life.
Shuiyuan Xizi looked at Quan Zhilong. His eyelashes were slightly lowered, his expression was peaceful, and the curve of his lips was gentle. Her mood was somewhat complicated.
Kwon Ji-yong, who is usually flamboyant and sharp, now has such a calm and peaceful side.
Shuiyuan Xizi smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
Kwon Ji-yong smiled and said, "Thank you. I wish you happiness too."
happiness?
Shuiyuan Xizi glanced at Quan Zhilong again and saw that his eyes were slightly raised and a soft and happy smile appeared on his lips. He exuded an indescribable sense of peace and warmth.
Is this what happiness is?
It looks pretty good.
"Thank you." Shuiyuan Xizi accepted his blessing generously. She looked at An Rufeng, who was standing quietly to the side, and said cheerfully, "I also wish you both continued happiness."
An Rufeng smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Xizi."
The relationship between the three was sensitive, but because they were all very open, they exchanged pleasantries for a while before parting ways.
Pulled over by Shuiyuan Xizi, CL, who had been on tenterhooks the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief as she watched their interaction. At the same time, she realized that Zhilong and Xizi were truly done with each other this time.
They'll never be separated again; that's all in the past.
Before leaving with Shuiyuan Xizi, CL glanced at Quan Zhilong and An Rufeng, who were chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but think that Rufeng might not only be Zhilong's present tense, but also his future tense.
Kwon Ji-yong and Suwon Seo-ko's relationship has always attracted much attention and generated a lot of discussion. The media has been very keen to report on their relationship in order to generate buzz and traffic.
Today's brand event was a huge success, with Shuiyuan Xizi and Kwon Ji-yong appearing at the same event. Despite no intimate interaction or even a photo of them together, the media still gave it extensive coverage.
Next, both of them were invited to and attended Chanel's Cruise collection fashion show, which led to another round of media coverage.
It's fine if no one mentions Kwon Ji-yong and Suwon Seiko's relationship; fans simply ignore it.
However, once the media reports it, it's hard for fans to pretend to be blind and ignore it. It instantly touches a sensitive nerve and causes arguments among fans, expressing dissatisfaction with Suwon Seo-ja and disappointment with Kwon Ji-yong.
Kwon Ji-yong and Suwon Seo-zi have broken up. He is now with An Joo-bong, and both the parties involved and those close to him know this.
However, neither the media nor the fans knew that they were still at the stage of "Water Source West Lake".
Seeing this, Kwon Ji-yong felt that this wouldn't do, so he contacted the public relations department.
"Choose a suitable time and have the media you're working with release the news that Mizuhara Xizi and I broke up at the end of last year and completely severed our relationship."
He's with Ru Feng now, and it's not good to keep linking him to his ex-girlfriend. Ru Feng doesn't care, but it's not good for her relatives and friends to see him having affairs with other women.
This might give them a bad impression of him and affect how they view Ru Feng.
Furthermore, if the media and fans believe that he is still with Shuiyuan Xizi, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings when his relationship with Rufeng is exposed in the future.
The public relations manager was astonished and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"
He was trying to ask, "Are you sure you won't get back together with Shuiyuan Xizi?"
However, since Kwon Ji-yong has a girlfriend, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask him that directly, so I just said that.
When they broke up before, some media outlets reported on it, but most of it was just speculation, and fans were skeptical.
He had a bit of a headache. As the public relations manager, he was quite familiar with his and Mizuhara Nishiko's frequent breakups and reconciliations. Who knew that one day he might break up with his current girlfriend and get back together with Mizuhara Nishiko.
The breakup news released by their PR team and partner media is relatively credible and serves as reassurance for their fans. It would be problematic if they were to reconcile in the future.
Moreover, in his view, even if they don't get back together, fans will naturally find out over time, so the breakup PR is somewhat unnecessary.
Kwon Ji-yong understood his unspoken meaning and gave a positive reply. He instructed him to inform Suwon Seo-ja of their intentions and release the information as soon as possible.
Kwon Ji-yong insisted, and the public relations manager, feeling it unnecessary, had no choice but to comply.
Kwon Ji-yong added, "There are so many reports about my relationship with Suwon Seiko right now, so please contact more media outlets to report on our friendship."
The public relations manager wondered, "It's just a routine report, no response is needed, is public relations really necessary?"
Last October, Dispatch broke a report on the relationship that seemed like solid evidence, without any public relations efforts.
Compared to last year, now it's a piece of cake that people don't even take a single photo together at the same event. It's all fabricated reports. It's not even worth paying attention to.
Now Kwon Ji-yong is actually resorting to media PR, which is much more troublesome than the company responding directly.
Because it was a regular news report, it wasn't appropriate to respond directly, so they chose a more subtle way to clarify. Kwon Ji-yong confirmed: "It's necessary. Suwon Seo-ko and I are no longer a couple. I need different perspectives and don't want the reports to only include rumors."
He specifically emphasized to the public relations manager, "When you announce the breakup later, be sure to specify the breakup date. I don't want the public and fans to misunderstand Ru Feng when we go public."
Mo?
The public relations minister was astonished, "You and Ru Fengxi are going public?!"
That was such a surprise!
He had always thought that Zhilong and Rufengxi were just having a normal relationship, and that their relationship was not very clear. But he did not expect that Zhilong would have the idea of going public with it.
However, he did seem quite serious this time.
To avoid Ru Fengxi being mistaken by the public or fans as interfering in other people's relationships in the future, she actually asked him to do public relations.
It seems he probably doesn't need to worry about Zhilong getting back together with Shuiyuan Xizi after he announced the breakup.
Now that he's decided to go public with the relationship, his relationship with Ru Fengxi should be quite stable, and he shouldn't continue to be entangled with his ex-girlfriend.
Kwon Ji-yong thought the public relations manager wouldn't accept going public now, so he reassured him, "Don't worry, Ru-feng and I don't plan to go public now. We'll probably go public when we get married."
Oh my!
"Marriage?" The PR manager was shocked again. Was the important question when to announce it? The important question was the marriage.
He couldn't believe it. A marriage? Had he heard correctly? "You and Ru Fengxi already have plans to get married? When?"
"We should get married before I enlist in the military." Kwon Ji-yong felt a little guilty. He and Ru Feng hadn't discussed marriage yet, and they hadn't even planned a proposal.
However, he and Ru Feng will get married sooner or later, but he doesn't know exactly when. He needs to discuss it with Ru Feng. Quan Zhilong continued, "You should start planning the public relations strategy for my wedding as soon as possible."
It might not be that long after; it's better to prepare sooner.
The public relations manager thought he really had a plan, and it didn't seem like he was joking.
Ji-yong is getting married! Unbelievable.
But since he had already put in public relations efforts, he had no choice but to believe him.
It took the public relations manager a while to accept this fact.
They've already made plans to get married, it seems like it's settled. He really should start thinking about a public relations strategy.
He frowned and pondered for a while.
If all goes well, Ji-yong will graduate with his master's degree next year, and his enlistment can be postponed to 2018. He can get married before enlisting, which is more than two years away.
"It's going to take quite a while. Won't something unexpected happen?" the public relations manager wondered.
It wasn't that he was cursing, but celebrities' relationships are far more unpredictable than ordinary people's, so he asked Kwon Ji-yong again to confirm: "Are you sure you want to get married?"
Having received confirmation from Kwon Ji-yong, the public relations manager began to consider a solution. In any case, having a solution is better than having no solution at all.
With time to prepare in advance and the timing of the wedding being favorable, the public relations manager is confident that the public relations plan will minimize the impact of Zhilong's wedding.
The public relations manager advised, "It's still quite a while before you enlist. Try not to be photographed before it's made public, otherwise the attention will be too high and the public opinion will be difficult to control, which will put pressure on you."
The public relations manager wanted him to keep his relationship low-key this time, so he wouldn't be constantly in the center of public opinion like last time, partly out of a work-related reason, and partly out of a good intention to remind him, since he felt that the instability of Zhilong and Shuiyuan Xizi's relationship was largely due to too much interference from outside public opinion.
"Yes, I will." Kwon Ji-yong readily agreed, and then instructed the public relations manager to expedite the process.
"Alaso".
The public relations manager readily agreed, explaining that the boyfriend's constant rumors with his ex-girlfriend inevitably made the woman feel uneasy and prone to overthinking, which did indeed affect their relationship.
Well, if they clarify things sooner, he, as the public relations manager, won't have to get criticized because of their scandals.
The public relations manager reported Kwon Ji-yong's upcoming marriage to President Yang.
President Yang was quite surprised to learn that Kwon Ji-yong was considering marriage.
Getting married just before enlisting in the military, and then enlisting immediately after the wedding, was something President Yang could barely accept, but he still called Kwon Ji-yong in for a talk.
After asking in detail, it was discovered that Kwon Ji-yong only had marriage plans in mind, but had no specific plans for meeting the parents or proposing. His thoughts and reluctance immediately vanished.
This is similar to his previous attempt to marry Mizuhara Nishiko; there's no need to worry, the outcome is predictable, it's just empty talk.
President Yang didn't ask the public relations manager to shelve the plan; he let him do as he pleased. Making an extra plan wouldn't cause any loss, since the public relations department didn't have much to do anyway.
At the Waiji Canteen, An Rufeng and Ran Lu sat facing each other, eating lunch fed by An's father.
The An family now lives close to the company. Whenever An Rufeng is training at the company, An's father will have Brother Li deliver lunch to him at noon, and Ranlu will also get a portion.
"Uncle's cooking is still the best. I'm so tired of the food in the cafeteria." Ran Lu said after eating a piece of braised pork ribs. Waiji Cafeteria is famous for its delicious food. She had been looking forward to it, but later found that it didn't suit her taste.
In fact, none of the food in Korea suited her taste, including the Chinese restaurants in Korea.
Ran Lu felt she had lost a lot of weight, partly due to the high training volume, but also because of this.
Anru Feng can eat the same food many times without getting tired of it. She is not picky about food, so she thinks eating in the cafeteria is okay, but she can eat better when her dad cooks.
"From now on, I'll have my dad bring you lunch and dinner every day." Sometimes she wasn't at the company, and her dad cooked every day, so it was just a matter of having Brother Li run the errand for her.
"Lunch is fine, eating like this every day will make you fat." Ran Lu didn't stand on ceremony, but refused dinner. She couldn't let the weight she had worked so hard to lose come back.
"I can rest this afternoon, let's go out and have some fun together?" Ran Lu said again. As a trainee, she rarely had a holiday.
Ran Lu didn't achieve her initial goal, but she found learning to arrange and write songs as a trainee quite interesting and a different kind of life experience, so she persisted.
"This afternoon, Kwon Ji-yong and I are going to prepare for his solo exhibition and meet with some artists. Would you like to come along?"
"I'd rather go shopping with someone else, it'll be more lively." Ran Lu wasn't interested and didn't want to be a third wheel, even though there would be other people around.
In the afternoon, after training for about the required time, Anru Feng drove to the music center to pick up Kwon Ji-yong and they went to meet with the artists they were collaborating with.
When An Rufeng arrived, they hadn't finished yet; she was watching Kwon Ji-yong's performance backstage.
When the lights come on, he is the king who controls everything. Every movement and rhythm is precisely timed to the heartbeat of the audience and fans. He is as dazzling as the stars and as radiant as the light. The cheers, screams and shouts from the audience can lift the roof off.
The stage lights went out, and shortly after, the door was pushed open, and a radiant figure walked in from the stage.
Stripped of his performance energy and domineering aura, Quan Zhilong, as if drained of all strength, sat down directly on the sofa where Anru Feng was sitting.
He originally wanted to lean on An Rufeng, but considering that they were at the TV station and there were many people watching, he slumped into the sofa instead.
The gaze that had just caused a roaring frenzy on stage was now replaced by deep weariness, with her eyelashes casting faint shadows on her lower eyelids.
In early May, the group released the album "M". Kwon Ji-yong has been busy promoting the new song, performing on music shows, appearing on variety shows, and filming. He has so much schedule that he doesn't have much time to sleep.
Seeing how exhausted he was, An Rufeng knew he hadn't slept much last night.
She gently massaged his temples with her fingers, and Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but close his eyes.
After resting with his eyes closed for a while, Kwon Ji-yong opened them, explained some things to the members and accompanying staff, and then parted ways with them, leaving with An Ru-feng.
Once in the car, with no other staff members around, Kwon Ji-yong put his arm around An Yeo-feng without any hesitation, hanging on her like a sloth. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and looked somewhat tired.
Seeing this, An Rufeng said, "Why don't you go and rest? I'll go meet them by myself and I'll tell you later."
In fact, he wouldn't get much rest. After meeting with the artist, he still had other commitments to attend to and wouldn't get home until the early hours of the morning.
"Don't worry, meeting with them isn't a burden for me; it gives me a break."
He's very busy, so there's no rush for his solo exhibition; it could be postponed.
The reason he didn't postpone it was that, for him, doing this was not a burden, but rather a way to relax and unwind from his heavy workload.
He likes performing, but to stand on stage and perform, he can't just focus on writing songs, producing, practicing, and then naturally performing. He also has to do a lot of other tedious and unimportant things.
Preparing for a solo exhibition is different. He can devote himself to what he wants to do, exchange ideas with various artists, and immerse himself in conceiving, completing the works and exhibitions without having to worry about other complicated matters. Anxiety, distractions, and troubles all disappear temporarily.
A relaxed mind is a pleasurable experience.
Upon hearing this, An Rufeng stopped talking and told him to rest in the car for a while and to call him when they arrived.
Kwon Ji-yong had previously invited artists to create works, and now the works of each artist have been completed one after another.
As the subject of creation, Kwon Ji-yong was the object of artistic processing by various artists. Naturally, he had communicated and contacted various creators, but he did not know what their final products were like.
Kwon Ji-yong met with various artists this time to learn about their works.
Only by understanding the works can we determine the narrative structure and design the layout of the exhibition hall based on the connotations of each artist's work.
Kwon Ji-yong and An Yeo-poong saw the works of various artists at the Seoul Museum of Art.
Although Anju Feng has a lot of curatorial experience, this is Kwon Ji-yong's solo exhibition, so she didn't offer much of an opinion. If Kwon Ji-yong needs her opinion, he will tell her.
While Kwon Ji-yong was interacting with the various artists, An Ru-feng quietly listened to them and looked at their works.
Artist Jeon Woo's work, based on Kwon Ji-yong's image and inspired by his constant refinement of himself during album creation, features sculptures of angels and demons, representing the duality of human nature. A foreign artist, inspired by Kwon Ji-yong's lyrics, created works that discuss the social issues of Black oppression...
It must be said that each artist's work is unique and profound.
Perhaps as the subject of his creations, Kwon Ji-yong's life trajectory has already surged with enough profound waves and dazzling starlight.
Therefore, when an artist's inspiration reaches out to the fields of his life, the resulting works are also quite wonderful.

Author's Note: I've been so busy with work lately, and I've only managed to write this much bit by bit... Things should get a little better soon.
