Chapter 249 Poof~~~
"Unnie, I know. I know everything you said."

After hearing what Park So-yeon said, Park Ji-yeon interrupted her next sentence and said something she had heard countless times.

Ever since their group and company were acquired by a new company more than half a month ago, she has heard too many times from the company and Park So-yeon about working hard and having confidence in the company. She has become immune to hearing these things again.

And she didn't want to listen anymore, so after interrupting Park So-yeon, she looked directly at her.

"Ouni, can what the company said really be realized?"

"The company said the same thing before we went to Japan, but what happened in the end?"

"Isn't it still ineffective?"

"Will it really work this time?"

Following Park Ji-yeon's words, the classroom suddenly fell into silence. Whether it was Park So-yeon who talked the most with Huang Xu, or Park Hyo-min who had already paid a lot, or Ham Eun-jung and Jeon Bo-ram over there, they all fell into silence.

What Park Ji-yeon said was actually what they had always wanted to say and ask in their hearts.

It was just that for various reasons, it had not been said out loud. Therefore, after Park Ji-yeon finished speaking, the atmosphere became quiet and the classroom fell into deathly silence.

After several minutes, Park So-yeon, the team leader, broke the silence first, stood up and asked her five teammates.

"Do we have any other options now?"

"Since the company has not given up on us, we can only follow the company's pace. This way, we at least have a chance to fight hard."

"Otherwise, I will have to quit the group like Yalin."

"Are you really willing to do this?"

"I"

Park Ji-yeon listened to Park So-yeon's words and wanted to refute something, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she took them back.

Because the situation is exactly as Park So-yeon said, now they have no way out and can only trust the company's arrangements.

Otherwise, they will have no choice but to learn from Li Yalin, who quit the team a few days ago, give up the name Tara, quit the group, and then make a living on their own.

But this result made her somewhat unwilling and unable to accept it.

They are different from Li Yalin who joined last year. They really started as newcomers and worked their way up to the top of the girl group step by step, and even began to make an impact towards the pinnacle of girl groups.

Now she was asked to give up this name and start over again, but she really couldn't bring herself to do it.

Park So-yeon looked at Park Ji-yeon who was speechless, and her teammates around her, clenched her fists, and then spoke to them.

"I know you're unwilling to give up, and neither am I. Think about it, we overcame such a difficult time last year, so is there anything we can't overcome?"

"Besides, the company hasn't given up on us yet. Why can't we give the company a little confidence?"

"Come on, let's try again and make another push towards the top."

"."

After a series of encouraging words, a very embarrassing scene occurred for her.

I was so passionate about my speech, but after listening to it, there was no reaction from the few people. Even the atmosphere in the room was still so quiet.

This made Park So-yeon stand there blankly, feeling really awkward and a little devastated inside.

"what happened?"

"Why didn't they react?"

"Doesn't the book say that this can boost morale?"

"Why."

Park So-yeon thought back to what she had just said, and her mind began to think rapidly, while at the same time she began to doubt her life a little.

She spent a long time preparing for this passage. She not only read books on the subject, but also looked at many examples before she was ready.

I originally thought that this would boost the morale of my teammates, but now it seems that it didn't seem to have a very good effect.

Just as she was still standing there doubting her life, the teacher who taught them Chinese walked in. She didn't have time to think about it anymore and directly asked her teammates to stand up and greet them.

Then he sat down and began to listen to the teacher attentively.

Although my teammates now lack confidence and enthusiasm for learning, I will put more energy into studying and strive to learn more to make up for my teammates' lack of Chinese.

But after just a few minutes, she felt something was wrong and looked at her teammates in surprise.

Looking at their serious and focused expressions, I immediately became confused.

Didn’t you say you’re not interested?
Why are you looking so seriously now?

Before she could figure out the reason, she heard the teacher at the podium suddenly calling her name.

"Park So-yeon, please pay attention in class and don't look around."

"I'm sorry, Teacher Min. I was wrong."

"Well, sit down and listen carefully in class. Learn from Park Ji-yeon, the student sitting next to you, and concentrate on the lecture."

After criticizing Park So-yeon, the Chinese teacher pointed at the blackboard and continued to explain what he had just said.

"Let's continue the lecture. We just talked about common expressions used during meals. Next, let's..."

"."

Park So-yeon sat down and looked at Park Ji-yeon beside her in disbelief. There was a puzzled look in her round eyes.

However, because she had just been criticized, she had nothing else to say. She could only temporarily suppress her inner confusion and start concentrating on the class.

When you concentrate on studying, time flies. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed and it is time for this Chinese class to end.

After leaving some homework, the teacher left immediately.

Park So-yeon was organizing her notes and turned to look at Park Ji-yeon who was also organizing her notes. Looking at her densely packed notes, the confusion on her face was gone and her eyes revealed a look of understanding.

The questions she wanted to ask during class just now no longer needed to be asked, because they had already proved with their actions that her words had worked.

However, just as she was packing up with a smile, she heard Park Ji-yeon asking her for leave.

"So-yeon, I want to take a break for a while. Can I go to the company to practice after dinner?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with you?"

"Well, I made an appointment with Crystal for coffee. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so..."

As Park Ji-yeon spoke, she was also carefully looking at Park So-yeon's expression, fearing that she would not agree.

If she were the former captain of the group Tara, she wouldn't have to be so nervous.

After all, at that time, their captaincy took turns, so naturally there was no fear.

But things are a little different now. After the group moved to a new company, they specifically talked about this matter, saying that the captain will not change in the future.

At the same time, any communication with the company in the future will be handled by the captain. Various schedule notifications and daily arrangements will also be the responsibility of Park So-yeon as the captain.

This made Park So-yeon's prestige in the team grow day by day. Therefore, if she had something urgent to do now, she naturally needed the captain's consent. That's why she carefully observed Park So-yeon's expression, fearing that she would disagree.

After all, the last time I wanted to ask for leave to go out and play, Park So Yeon rejected it.

But what she didn't expect was that this time Park So-yeon actually agreed with a smile, and before she left, she also said:
"You can play for a while longer. Don't be in a hurry to go back."

"????"

Park Ji-yeon left with a question mark on her face, not quite understanding what had happened.

She walked all the way to the agreed coffee shop, but she still didn't understand what was going on with Park So-yeon today and why she was so easy to talk to.

However, after sitting down, she didn't want to figure it out anymore so she sent a message to Krystal Jung, took out her study materials, and began to review the knowledge she had just learned.

Although she didn't stand up to respond to Park So-yeon's encouragement, she was also encouraged in her heart and began to take it seriously. After all, things were just as Park So-yeon said.

"Do they have any choice now?"

"Now that the company hasn't given up, why don't they give it another try?"

It was these two sentences that rekindled her enthusiasm and made her blood boil again.

"Hello, guys."

"I am Park Ji-yeon from Tara."

"Nice to meet you guys."

"."

Park Ji-yeon sat in a corner of the coffee shop, looking at the Chinese words on her notes and the annotations next to them, practicing Chinese in a low voice and correcting her pronunciation bit by bit.

Just when she was immersed in her studies, she suddenly heard a voice coming from the side.

"Jiyeon, what are you doing? You were so focused that you didn't even notice I arrived."

"Ah~~?"

Park Ji-yeon was startled and looked at her good friend Krystal Jung who suddenly appeared in front of her. She then felt relieved and handed over the notes.

"Nothing, just study notes."

"Why are you also learning Chinese?"

After taking the notebook, Krystal took a look at the contents and returned it to the other party, then asked a question out of curiosity.

Park Ji-yeon was also quite surprised when she heard what Krystal Jung said.

"Also? Who else is learning Chinese?"

"Shirley, she has been studying for several months. Now whenever she has time, she asks our captain for Chinese lessons."

"Shirley? How come she's learning Chinese?"

Park Ji-yeon was very confused at this time. After all, there are not many people in Korean boy and girl groups who are learning Chinese. In fact, they should be the first group to learn Chinese as a whole.

After all, in the eyes of Koreans, China is still a relatively backward country, and there is still a huge gap between it and their own country.

So now entertainment companies are all running to Japan to develop their business. This is why she was so resistant to the company's arrangement for her to develop her business in China.

So when she heard that Sulli was also learning Chinese, she was very curious and asked Krystal:
"Why, are you going to China to develop as well?"

"No, I haven't heard that the company has any idea in this regard."

"Then why did she suddenly want to learn Chinese?"

"Forehead"

After hearing this question, Krystal looked around carefully, and when she found that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered to Park Ji-yeon.

"Don't tell anyone about that. I think Shirley is in love."

"She's in love?"

When Zheng Xiujing heard this, she immediately became interested, her eyes widened, and then she asked in a low voice:

"Is this true? I haven't heard that she is in a relationship. Who is the other person?"

"I don't know either, but the other party doesn't seem to be from the industry, or even Korean."

"Wow, this is so exciting, tell me about it."

Park Ji-yeon's curiosity, or gossiping mind, had been completely aroused at this moment, and she looked directly at the other party, wanting to take a big bite of this melon.

What she didn't expect was that Krystal didn't know much about this matter.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this matter, and I haven't met him, but he seems to be Chinese."

"Chinese? He's not from the same circle, so how did she know him?"

"I do not know then."

"Okay, but if you say so, then I have to tell you something. Did you know that Sunny is also in a relationship? And her boyfriend is also Chinese?"

"Ah? Sunny has a boyfriend, and he's Chinese?"

Krystal opened her mouth wide, obviously shocked by the news.

As Sunny's backer in the same company, and her sister is in the same group with them, she was quite shocked when she heard the news.

But Park Ji-yeon's next words made her realize that it was too early for her to be shocked, because her next words were the truly shocking news.

“And it seems like Goo Hara is competing with Sunny.”

"Is it true? Tell me quickly."

"This matter actually started last year, last year."

While the two girls were frantically eating the melons about Sunny and Goo Hara, on the other side in China, Sunny and Goo Hara were also waiting to eat the melons.

It is now ten o'clock China time. They have just finished an authentic Cantonese breakfast and then returned to the hotel to rest for a while.

Now seeing that the time was almost up, they drove to the door of a herbal tea and dessert shop.

Just looking at the shop that had just opened and was already crowded with people, Kim Taeyeon was a little drooling and wanted to go over and take a look in person.

But seeing that there were quite a few young people in the queue, she could only hide in the car and watch Huang Xu get out to help them buy things.

Just when Kim Taeyeon was waiting impatiently, Huang Xu finally walked out of the team and walked towards the vehicle.

Kim Taeyeon, who was already eagerly waiting, opened the car door before Huang Xu returned to the car, and stretched out her hand to take the things in Huang Xu's hand.

"Kangsangsmida."

"Here, your herbal tea."

Huang Xu glanced at the hand that Kim Taeyeon extended and directly handed over a bottle of black herbal tea.

"Hurry up and drink it. Drink one bottle now and another bottle in the evening, and you will be fine tomorrow."

“Is this herbal tea?”

Kim Taeyeon looked at the bottle in her hand, which contained black juice, and then looked at the drink that Huang Xu handed to Sunny and Goo Hara. The drink looked delicious at first glance, and her brows couldn't help but frown.

"Why is it this color? And why are theirs like that?"

"Hey, just drink it quickly, it's your fault that you got angry."

Sunny was looking at Kim Taeyeon with great anticipation at this time, obviously looking forward to Kim Taeyeon's reaction after drinking the herbal tea.

"Ours is a sugary drink, and yours is herbal tea, so it's a little different."

"alright."

Kim Taeyeon frowned and looked at the bottle in her hand, then unscrewed it and smelled the bottle mouth, her brows wrinkled even more.

The smell she smelled, coupled with Sunny's strange attitude, made her have some guesses about the taste of the herbal tea.

But thinking about her throat problem and the increasingly obvious acne on her face, she could only take a deep breath and carefully bring the herbal tea to her lips.

But even though she was prepared, after she drank the herbal tea, the smell of the tea made her whole face squeezed together, and then she sprayed it directly at Huang Xu in front of her.

"Pfft~~~"
