Chapter 302 Why are you looking at me like that?
Eleven o'clock at night.

"Then I'll leave it to you all for the next period of time."

Huang Xu looked at the six people from Tara in front of him and gave instructions again.

"Also, next time we meet, don't call me boss, but PD Kim."

"No, Boss Min, no, PD Kim, please rest assured that we will not let you down."

Park So-yeon's reaction at this time was also very quick, and she directly started calling Huang Xu "PD Kim".

As for the reason, Huang Xu also explained it while eating just now. To put it bluntly, it is just to reduce the chances of exposing one's identity and thus causing unnecessary trouble.

What happened in the past six months has made Park So-yeon take this matter very seriously, and her chubby face is full of a serious expression.

This made Sunny, who had been watching on the side, smile slightly, and then she began to comfort Park Soyeon.

"Soyeon-unnie, it's okay, there's no need to be so nervous."

"Not many people know Huang Xu's identity. As long as you don't call him the wrong name, there will be no problem."

"Besides, this program was recorded in China and will be broadcast there. There probably won't be many people paying attention to it in Korea."

"Yeah, I understand."

Park So-yeon nodded slightly, but a hint of loss flashed in her eyes.

Although she knew that Sunny was comforting herself, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she heard that this program would be mainly broadcast in China and would not receive much attention in South Korea.

They were the national idols a year ago, but now they have fallen to their current state.

And this was only because of Huang Xu's help, otherwise she really couldn't imagine what they would be like now.

Just when she was immersed in this emotion, Sunny noticed her loss and directly grabbed her hand.

"Ouni, everything is over. Things will be better in the future."

"Well, it's all over, everything will be fine."

Park Soyeon looked at Sunny with some gratitude, and the gratitude in her eyes was beyond words.

She is now very grateful that although her life is difficult, she still has friends who can always accompany her and help her selflessly.

Especially Sunny in front of him. When he and others were in the most difficult time, it was she who helped introduce Huang Xu and helped them find a new dormitory so that they could avoid black fans.

Later, it was her boyfriend, Huang Xu, who bought them out when there was no hope for her and others.

Not only did he help me and others clarify the truth of the incident, but now he is also helping them release albums and shoot variety shows.

Thinking about how much Sunny and the other two had done for her and others, she felt like she had never been able to repay them.

In the end, he could only bow deeply to the two of them.

"Please rest assured, we will work hard."

"."

Looking at Park So-yeon who suddenly became excited, Huang Xu and Sunny looked at each other, and then hurriedly helped each other up.

Then they exchanged a few pleasantries and said goodbye to everyone at Tara.

However, what no one noticed was that compared to the excitement and happiness of the others, Park Ji-yeon was not in a very high spirits tonight.

She hasn't spoken much since she met Huang Xu today and found out that Huang Xu was the boss of their company.

Even after returning to the dormitory, when everyone began to imagine their upcoming trip to China, Park Ji-yeon still sat there very quietly, not saying a word.

In the end, it was Park Hyomin who discovered her abnormality.

"Jiyeon, what's wrong with you?"

"Feeling a little unhappy today?"

"Ouni, you also knew a long time ago that Huang Xu is our boss, right?"

After hearing what Park Hyomin said, Park Jiyeon, who had just lowered her head, could no longer hold back, and tears were welling up in her slender eyes.

She looked at Park Hyomin and Park Soyeon with tearful eyes, and her tone was filled with tears.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Let me tell you that the boss is Huang Xu, and Sunny has become the boss lady."

"If you had said this earlier, I might not have been so worried."

"Then Yalin might not leave."

"."

“There’s nothing we can do, Jiyeon.”

Looking at Park Ji-yeon's tearful eyes, Park Hyo-min also sighed softly.

As teammates who have been together for several years and "comrades-in-arms" who have experienced the national boycott together, she has a deep understanding of the youngest member of her team.

She looks carefree and generous on the outside, but deep down, she is very delicate and sensitive.

And she also suffered a lot because of what happened last year. It can even be said that she was the one who was hurt the most among them.

Someone labeled her childhood video as child pornography, making the whole country laugh.

The cosmetics she endorsed were chopped into pieces, stepped on, thrown into the parking lot, and left there at night.

This was just the treatment she suffered alone. As for being boycotted by the entire network, being asked to disband, being treated differently by the event organizers, and being denied seats.

She experienced every kind of boycott, including having her back turned to boycott during performances, having eggs thrown at her, having her door ganked, having threatening letters sent to her parents, having her photos photoshopped into a monster or a death portrait, etc.

She even suffered from depression because of this. She hid in her room alone for a long time, not daring to look at people or even go out.

Of course, she was not the only one who was boycotted; others were also deeply hurt by this incident.

When Park So-yeon had a car accident last year, her haters directly said that it would be best if such a person died, so why wasn't he hit to death.

The leading role played by Ham Eun-jung was replaced and she was dropped from all TV dramas.

When Park Hyomin thought about these things, her face was filled with pity, and then she comforted the other person softly.

"Souyan and I wanted to tell you earlier, but we can't."

"You are not unaware of the power behind that person. Before everything is settled, try to limit the number of people who know about it."

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm worried that because of your attitude, or if something is accidentally leaked out, then things will be more difficult to handle."

"We were both very nervous about this matter and often couldn't sleep well at night, fearing that something unexpected would happen."

"We haven't even touched alcohol in the past few months because we're afraid we won't be able to control ourselves after getting drunk."

"."

After listening to Park Hyomin's words, Park Jiyeon slowly calmed down.

She also knew how far-reaching the impact of the incident was, who were the people standing behind that person, and how powerful those people were.

So she naturally understood why Park Hyomin and the others did not tell her after knowing these things.

But she still couldn't forget Li Yalin's withdrawal.

Although they had only been together for less than a year, the experience of supporting and encouraging each other over the past year made her still have deep feelings for Li Yalin.

Naturally, he was a little puzzled as to why he let Li Yalin go even though he knew the truth.

Then he looked at Park So-yeon and asked his doubts.

"Ouni, why did you let Yalin go?" "She stuck with us through our most difficult times, why did she leave at the last minute?"

"Ji-yeon, I want to keep her too, but..."

Park So-yeon looked at the confused Park Ji-yeon, and then saw similar confusion on the faces of her companions around her. She also sighed and then explained in a low voice.

"I have done my best regarding Yalin's matter."

“I have done everything I could.”

"I even went to Huang Xu to ask for his help, but he also had to be responsible for his investment, and I couldn't persuade him any further."

"And later I tried to persuade Yalin many times, but she had already made up her mind to leave, and I couldn't say too much."

"so."

"I'm sorry, unnie.

Listening to Park So-yeon's words and seeing the regret and reluctance, even some painful expression on her face, Park Ji-yeon also felt a little regretful.

She regretted why she doubted her captain, otherwise she wouldn't have shown such an expression.

This made her feel full of regret when she looked at the other person, and she even hugged the other person directly.

"Ouni, I'm not sensible, it's me."

"It's okay, Jiyeon. I understand how you feel. It's hard for me to accept Yalin's departure, but these are her own choices. There's nothing I can do about it."

Park So-yeon, who was holding Park Ji-yeon, comforted her, then looked at her teammates around her and continued speaking.

"Her departure is a fact, and we can't change anything."

"But in the days ahead, we still need to continue to fight."

"Although, according to Huang Xu's plan for us, we will be working hard in China for a long time and have no plans to return to Korea."

"But we still have to cheer and work hard."

“Only in this way can we return to Seoul and Korea as soon as possible with our overseas achievements.”

"Huang Xu and his team have already made the preparations for us. How we can develop in the future depends on ourselves."

“So for the next period of time, we have to…”

While Park So-yeon was using the topic to encourage and brainwash her teammates, Huang Xu and Sunny on the other side also returned to the apartment.

"Why are you here?"

Huang Xu looked at the three figures in the living room and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

And not only him, but also Sunny beside him was looking at his three teammates with great surprise.

"Taeyeon, Jessica, and Tiffany, why are you here?"

"Isn't this curious?"

Kim Taeyeon looked at the two people who had just returned, then she couldn't wait to stand up and asked them.

"How is it? How are Zhao Yan and the others doing now?"

"When will they return?"

"."

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon's concerned look and was a little hesitant about whether to tell her about this matter.

Kim Taeyeon is now Huang Xu's girlfriend, so it would be a bit bad if I hide it.

But now this matter involves too many things, so she is a little hesitant.

And the most important thing is, besides Kim Taeyeon, Tiffany and Jessica Jung are also here today.

Huang Xu had told him before that Jessica Jung already knew the inside story, so it was no big deal.

But Tiffany is here, which is a bit inconvenient.

Just when Sunny was hesitating about what to say, Huang Xu came to her rescue.

"What? Taeyeon cares about them so much now?"

"I didn't see you looking for them before?"

"You care about them so much now, are you afraid that if they return, their performance will surpass yours?"

"Ah~~, am I afraid that their grades will surpass ours?"

When Kim Taeyeon heard Huang Xu say this, she looked at Huang Xu with some resentment, and then looked at Sunny confidently and expressed her opinion to her teammates around her.

"Who are we? We are Girls' Generation."

"We have nothing to fear no matter who returns."

"Don't even mention what happened to them last year. Even if it didn't happen, they wouldn't be able to catch up with us."

"Not to mention surpassing us."

"Okay, okay, you are the strongest. You are the best, okay?"

Huang Xu looked at Kim Taeyeon's confident and domineering appearance, a smile appeared on his face, and he sighed in his heart.

"She is worthy of being the empress, and an empress at her peak."

However, Kim Taeyeon did not hear Huang Xu's sigh. Now Kim Taeyeon was furious when she saw Huang Xu's perfunctory response.

Then he pounced directly on Huang Xu and vented his dissatisfaction towards him.

"Ah~~, what do you mean by ok?"

"Aren't we the strongest in your mind?"

"."

However, when Kim Taeyeon was venting, she did not realize that her behavior made the two people next to her dumbfounded.

First of all, Tiffany, seeing what Kim Taeyeon did, immediately had the thought in her heart that she was being cheated on.

She didn't expect that Kim Taeyeon was so familiar with Huang Xu that they could even have such intimate interactions.

Looking at the way the two of them were interacting, and Sunny's expression of indifference next to them, the feeling of being cheated on became stronger.

Compared to Tiffany's surprise, Jessica Jung was feeling very heavy at this moment.

Because there was more and more evidence, proving that her previous guess seemed to have become a reality.

"What really happened to them?"

"Otherwise, according to Taeyeon's personality, it would be impossible for her to have such an intimate interaction with Huang Xu."

"And judging from the expression on Sunny's face, she seems to have gotten used to this."

"It's really hard to say that they are fine."

"."

As this thought came to her mind, she stared at the two of them closely, her eyes very serious.

After Kim Taeyeon vented her anger, she got off Huang Xu and looked at her two teammates who were staring at her closely, and began to have some doubts.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
