Chapter 555 Commonplace
Did it really go up like that?!
Lin Yoona looked at Kim Taeyeon's gradually receding back and was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close.
Ever since the Black Sea incident, Girls' Generation has been struggling amidst various controversies. The only one who still maintains a high exposure is Kim Taeyeon, the captain who won a song award for her solo song and became a permanent host of a radio station.
Although this short captain often spoke nice words and said that he would lead everyone to overcome the difficulties together, the strong contrast between them still aroused the jealousy and suspicion of the members.
Lin Yoona thought so before, but she never expected that Kim Taeyeon would really dare to go for it, and even after missing the opportunity, she still went for it regardless!
"Yoon-ah, she can't be..."
At this time, Kim Hyoyeon pushed Lin Yoona with a worried look on her face. Before she could ask what was going on, Lin Yoona gritted her teeth and quickly chased after him in crystal high heels.
How come another one ran away?!
Kim Hyoyeon was dumbfounded. When she was hesitating whether to follow them, the SM leader, who noticed something was wrong, came over and asked her what happened.
"nothing."
Kim Hyo-yeon tried her best to suppress her anxiety and pretended to be calm, saying, "The captain seemed to have a stomachache and went to the bathroom. Yoona was worried, so she went over to take care of her."
…………
the other side.
Lin Yoona was gritting her teeth and chasing forward. After she got over the initial shock and disbelief, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart.
As the face of Girls' Generation, she doesn't look down on the smaller captain, but she also never thinks that she is inferior to him.
But now...
As she chased forward, she secretly swore that she would never repeat the same mistake again and that she must be more perfect than Kim Taeyeon... no, more perfect and better than everyone else!
As soon as she finished swearing, she saw Kim Taeyeon lying in the corner, hesitating and peeking.
That sneaky look reminded Lin Yuner of a hamster. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, then quickly walked behind Kim Taeyeon and said in a relaxed tone: "I thought you were not afraid of anything, but it turns out that you get scared when the time comes."
Kim Taeyeon was startled at first, but when she saw Lin Yuner catching up, she immediately hugged Lin Yuner's arm as if she had seen a savior and explained, "When I got here, I remembered that my Chinese is very poor and there is no way I can communicate normally with Chinese people!"
It turned out to be because of this.
In fact, Lin Yoona has specially studied Chinese intensively, and can even speak it more fluently than Kim Hyoyeon, who once studied in China. As for the reason why she studies so hard, it is naturally because she has a crush on Director Xu.
Now is the time to test your learning outcomes!
"Don't worry, my Chinese is pretty good."
Lin Yuna took a deep breath and was about to turn the corner to meet Director Xu.
"Don't worry yet!"
Jin Taeyeon quickly pulled her back and reminded her, "They seem to be discussing something serious. It's not appropriate to disturb them now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yoona also followed her example and looked over, and found that Xu Kunzheng, Director Shen, and the big boss of LeTV were standing near the front desk talking.
So while secretly observing and looking for an opportunity, he curiously asked Kim Taeyeon: "What are you thinking? Is it necessary to take such a big risk for others?"
Kim Taeyeon's baby-fat cheeks puffed up slightly as she said seriously, "I'm the captain, and of course the captain must lead by example and make the entire team better and better!"
In the past, Lin Yoona always felt that Kim Taeyeon was a bit stubborn and inflexible, but now she thinks that this might be something that is necessary for being a captain.
She thought about it and asked again: "Even if you give yourself as the price?"
"Uh~"
Kim Taeyeon hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Isn't this a common occurrence in our Korean idol circle? And I heard that Director Xu has no perverted hobbies, and he doesn't treat women as toys and throw them away after use.
If I can take this opportunity to get his support, it will be a good thing for me and everyone, right? Even if he rejects me and the company finds out, I should be able to handle it with my current popularity. "
Lin Yoona originally thought that she would put on a righteous attitude and say that she would rather sacrifice herself for the group, but she didn't expect Kim Taeyeon to say it so simply and directly.
However, thinking about the situation in the industry that she learned about before and after her debut, Yoona felt that this was in line with common sense - people who were steadfast and unyielding, or pure saints, would not be able to survive in the Korean entertainment industry for long.
After understanding Kim Taeyeon's determination, Lin Yoona didn't say anything else, but just silently paid attention to the movements near the front desk.
About ten minutes later, Xu Kun and Jia Yueting personally escorted Director Shen out the door. At that time, both Lin Yoona and Kim Taeyeon were extremely nervous, fearing that Xu Kun would just leave like that.
Fortunately, after a while, Xu Kun and Jia Yueting returned to the hall side by side - Director Shen had seen everything he should have seen, so he could naturally leave early, and Xu Kun also agreed to record a few words of blessing, so he would definitely leave after that was done.
Just as the two girls breathed a sigh of relief, Jia Yueting was talking to Xu Kun about them: "Those two Korean little stars should be here to see you, right? How about it, do you need my help to arrange it?"
Xu Kun had naturally already noticed Lin Yuna and Kim Taeyeon hiding in the corner and peeking around.
Hearing Lao Jia's joke, he said nonchalantly: "No need to make arrangements. I can't delay your rehearsal because of me. If you think it's appropriate, I'll come back and pick you up."
Lao Jia raised his middle finger at him speechlessly: "Since you have planned it all out, I won't delay your romantic luck." After saying that, he turned around and went to the stairwell.
When Xu Kun arrived at the corner leisurely, Kim Taeyeon and Lin Yoona jumped out one after another and bowed 120 degrees to Xu Kun like frightened deer.
"Director Xu, hello [long time no see]."
Taeyeon had just practiced the greeting in the morning and thought she said it pretty well, so when she heard that what Yoona said was completely different from what she said, she couldn't help but glance at Yoona in surprise.
"Ok?"
When Xu Kun heard the words "long time no see", he suddenly realized that the girl in front of him looked familiar. After trying hard to recall, he suddenly said, "It's you, Jin Yuner."
Lin Yuner: "..."
At this time, Xu Kun looked at Kim Taeyeon with confusion again. He remembered that the other one didn't seem to be so petite and childish, and she also had a very energetic butt.
"This is our captain, Kim Taeyeon."
Seeing this, Lin Yoona hurriedly introduced Xu Kun, and at the same time comforted herself: Forget it, it's better to remember half of it than to have no impression at all.
"Oh~"
Xu Kun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he felt that the goods were not what he wanted. He then sighed and said, "There are so many people in Korea with the last name Jin."
Lin Yuner: "..."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Kun asked again: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"There are indeed some things..."
Lin Yoona was a little hesitant. Although she had already had a sincere and in-depth communication with Xu Kun, they had not been in contact for more than a year. She was not sure how Xu Kun would react if she asked for help rashly.
"Then let's find a place to sit down and talk."
Seeing this, Xu Kun took the two of them to find an empty office nearby.
Kim Taeyeon was confused throughout the whole process. She always felt that things seemed to be surprisingly going smoothly, and that Director Xu and Yoona seemed to have a relatively familiar relationship.
What is going on here?
She was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to ask in front of Xu Kun - in fact, Xu Kun wouldn't understand even if she asked. But it was her first time to have close contact with such a big shot, and she was instinctively afraid and didn't dare to go beyond the line.
When the three of them sat down, Kim Taeyeon still smiled blankly, while Lim Yoona seemed to be hesitant to talk, and didn't know how to start a conversation.
Xu Kun took the initiative to ask: "Your Chinese level is pretty good, almost catching up with Tianshang Zhixi and the others."
“I learned it specifically.”
When Lin Yoona talked about this, she sounded a little resentful. It was not easy to find time to learn Chinese in her busy schedule. As a result, she only found the opportunity to learn Chinese today.
Xu Kun also guessed that she started learning Chinese after he slept with her, but he had forgotten her so much that he felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Lin Yuner added faintly: "My last name is Lin, Lin Yuner."
"Uh~"
This was even more awkward. Xu Kun smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "I heard you guys were in trouble recently. Was there a 'Black Sea' incident?"
Here is a brief introduction: the so-called Black Sea incident was that during a free concert of a certain singer, fans of Girls' Generation clashed with fans of SJ and TVXQ over disputes over seats.
Then there were rumors that Girls' Generation's fans not only beat up fans of other groups, but also tore up their posters - and this unconfirmed rumor further triggered a collective boycott by fans of other groups.
The specific practice was that when Girls' Generation was performing on stage, all the audience turned off their glow sticks, leaving the audience seats in darkness, so it was called the Black Sea Incident.
第一次发生在6月的韩国的梦想演唱会，第二次发生在9月的魔都SM家族演唱会——接下来2009年2月7号还会在泰国发生第三次。
When Xu Kun asked about the Black Sea incident, Lin Yuner's eyes immediately turned red, half-seriously and half-fakely, and she complained angrily: "This matter is obviously a misunderstanding, the TV station has officially clarified it, but those people are still anti-us!"
Anti in Korea means "oppose" or "dislike", and is mainly directed at popular idol groups.
"so……"
After listening to her rambling about her experiences, Xu Kun guessed their purpose, so he got straight to the point, "Do you want me to help you talk to SM and ask them to give you more support?"
Lin Yuna was at a loss as her thoughts were exposed. She instinctively didn't want Xu Kun to think that she was here just for profit.
Then he pointed at Kim Taeyeon and said, "Actually, she really admires you and insisted that I bring her here!"
