Chapter 429: Ouni, why are you here?
"Crystal, what's wrong with you?"

"Didn't you go to the company to meet Jessica? Why do you have such an expression?"

"Did she bully you?"

"It can't be that she has stolen your things again, right?"

Choi Jin-ri looked at Krystal Jung who had returned with a serious expression on her face, and hurriedly looked at her with concern.

When he saw that she was unhappy, he even talked about the times when she had her things and pocket money stolen in the past, in order to liven up the atmosphere.

Looking at Choi Jin-ri who cared about her, although Krystal really wanted to talk to her about what she had just discovered in the company, she finally held back when she thought that this matter concerned her sister's reputation.

Then he quickly adjusted his mood, gave a bitter smile, and looked at Choi Jinri with a face full of grievance.

"Yeah, she bullied me."

"I finally had a break today, and I wanted to go see her, have dinner and go shopping together, but she not only didn't appreciate it, she actually..."

Then, she used her acting talent to make a series of complaints, or complaints, to Choi Jin-ri.

It was as if he was really being bullied by his sister.

Choi Jin-ri, watching Krystal's performance, didn't realize at all that she was performing.

It can be said that Krystal Jung, who won the MBC Newcomer Award in her first TV drama, is really talented.

Seeing that Choi Jin-ri had been deceived by her, Krystal Jung smiled slightly and enjoyed Choi Jin-ri's comfort.

But she didn't go too far. After being persuaded by Choi Jin-ri, she returned to normal.

After all, it’s not the first or second time that she has been bullied by her sister. If she continues to pretend, Choi Jin-ri won’t believe it.

At this moment, she suddenly saw the items placed on the table in the living room and looked at Choi Jinri with some surprise.

"Zhen Li, today is a day off, why don't you go out and play?"

"And what are you doing?"

"Are you studying?"

“Well, this is the textbook I’m using to learn Chinese?”

Seeing that Krystal was curious, Choi Jin-ri had no intention of hiding anything and directly picked up the textbook she had just studied and showed it to Krystal.

Looking at the textbook in Choi Jin-ri's hand, Krystal's face was full of confusion.

"Zhen Li, why do you want to learn Chinese?"

"Don't we have Mom V? We don't need to learn Chinese, right?"

"I know. This is not the company's requirement. I want to learn it myself."

Choi Jin-ri knew what Krystal Jung meant.

Their company's team basically arranges for some people to learn the local language in the major countries of operation.

For example, in Japan, the main export destination for Korean idols, there are several people in their groups who can speak Japanese.

Even Krystal herself has a certain ability to communicate in Japanese.

As Chinese is not the main market in China and with the presence of team leader Song Qian, they don't need to learn Chinese at all.

Most importantly, the company did not arrange for them to receive training in this area.

So after listening to this, Krystal was also very confused.

"Why?"

"Chinese is so difficult to learn, the company doesn't require it, and V's mom is here, why do you want to learn it?"

"How can it be useless? Learning Chinese is very useful to me."

Looking at the puzzled Krystal Jung, Choi Jin-ri had no desire to explain. She just looked at the sky outside the window with a mysterious smile.

Zheng Xiujing, who was standing next to her, frowned when she saw the performance of her friend who was the same age as her.

Because she seemed to remember something, she asked Choi Jin-ri with some uncertainty.

"Shirley, are you learning Chinese because of Huang Xu?"

"Are you in love with Huang Xu?"

"???"

Choi Jin-ri widened her eyes and looked at Krystal Jung in disbelief.

She didn't expect that the secret she hid so deeply would be discovered by Krystal Jung.

She has kept this matter deep in her heart and has never told anyone about it, not even Goo Hara.

Now, it was revealed by Krystal Jung.

However, after turning around and seeing Krystal Jung's still somewhat uncertain eyes, he immediately reacted and denied it.

"how could be?"

"Huang Xu Oppa is the boyfriend of Hara Unnie and Sunny Unnie, how can I like him?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Crystal."

"Is it?"

Faced with Choi Jin-ri's denial, Krystal Jung did not continue to ask, but said something to herself.

"Whether you like Huang Xu or not, I don't know and I can't control it."

“I just want to say that since Sunny and Hola can accept each other, then adding one more person shouldn’t be a problem.”

"Really?"

After hearing what Krystal Jung said, Choi Jin-ri, who was still denying it, immediately forgot about her denial and a light flashed in her eyes.

Yes, since Sunny can accept Hara, then do I have a chance too?

Thinking of this, a blush even appeared on her face with excitement.

And all of this was seen by Krystal Jung.

At the same time, the scene of her afternoon at the company emerged in her mind.

After Huang Xu came out of the stairwell, he said hello to her and left. When her sister came out, she found that a lot of her sister's lipstick had been rubbed off.

My sister's lipstick was clearly in good condition before she went in.

It was rubbed off after it came out. She knew what this meant without having to think about it.

And there was the transaction mentioned in the conversation between the two, which made her more certain of her guess.

Although my sister later explained that it was accidentally rubbed off.

But this explanation is obviously deceiving children.

This is also the reason why she suddenly stopped calling Huang Xu "Oppa" when she was calling him just now.

His sister was taken away, and Huang Xu used that method to take her away.

No matter how good her impression of Huang Xu was before, he now seems like a bad guy.

Plus, her friend Choi Jin-ri is the same now, and the fact that she didn't curse out loud already shows that she's well-educated.

The atmosphere in the dormitory fell into a long silence for a while.

Finally, I was awakened by Choi Jin-ri's ringing phone.

"Horah, why did you call me suddenly?"

Looking at the name on the phone, Choi Jin-ri, who had just been pointed out by Krystal Jung and had some fantasies, now felt a little guilty.

She was a little afraid to face Goo Hara, and even the tone of her voice changed a little.

Goo Hara on the opposite side naturally noticed something strange about Choi Jin-ri.

"Zhen Li, are you recording a show?"

"No, I'm in the dormitory!"

"Then why is your tone so strange?"

"And you actually called me unnie. You never call me that when you answer the phone normally!"

After listening to Choi Jin-ri's words, Goo Hara's doubts became even greater.

Although she is a few years older than Choi Jin-ri, in daily life, the two basically call each other by their names or nicknames.

She rarely calls herself "Ouni" unless there is something important. How could she not feel surprised when she suddenly heard it?

Choi Jin-ri on the other end of the phone was stunned after hearing Goo Hara's question.

The two of them were so familiar with each other that they could sense if there was something wrong with the other party.

This means that her attempt to deceive Goo Hara with lies was basically wishful thinking.

Just when she didn't know what to say to Goo Hara, Goo Hara on the other side gave up the idea of ​​continuing the questioning because of time constraints.

"Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I called you because I have something to talk to you about."

"I heard from your oppa that you guys are taking a day off today, right?"

"Well, V's mom was called to work at the company, so we're taking a day off today."

Hearing that Goo Hara would not pursue the matter further, he breathed a sigh of relief and told Goo Hara about his situation directly.

Goo Hara on the opposite side, after confirming that Choi Jin-ri was resting, directly stated her purpose.

"Since you have today off, then go to the apartment tonight. Oppa has something to talk to you about."

"Also, I haven't seen you for a few days. We can have a good chat tonight."

"Then tomorrow morning, I'll ask your oppa to stew you a pot of medicinal food to nourish you."

"Yes, thank you, Hal. You are so kind to me."

After finishing the business, the two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

After turning off her phone, Choi Jin-ri just looked up and was shocked to see Krystal Jung almost sticking to her.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing so close to me?"

Choi Jin-ri was shocked and made a series of complaints to Krystal Jung.

However, today, Krystal was not in the mood to argue with Choi Jin-ri, so she looked at her and asked.

"Was that Holaoni's call just now?"

"Well, Hola-oni asked me to sleep at his place today, saying that Oppa wanted to see me about something."

Choi Jin-ri had no intention of hiding anything and immediately started packing her study materials, preparing to go to Longshan Apartment.

Although Goo Hara and Huang Xu are not here now, don't forget that after Goo Hara rented the apartment, Choi Jin-ri set up a room of her own there with her own key.

And Huang Xu and the others also promised that the room would be hers.

So this time, she can be considered to be "going home".

As Krystal looked at Choi Jin-ri packing her things, she had an idea and said to her.

"Truth, can I go with you?"

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Huang Xu Oppa for a long time."

"He and Hola Unnie helped us make so many delicious foods. I also want to go over and thank Huang Xu Oppa in person."

Now that she has something to ask of Choi Jin-ri, Krystal Jung once again calls Huang Xu "Huang Xu Oppa".

After hearing what her friend said, Choi Jin-ri thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Then I'll talk to Holaoni for you?"

"Thank you, Truth!"

. . . . . . . .

Just as sisters Choi Jin-ri and Krystal Jung were preparing to leave for Yongsan Apartment, Jia Yueting and others on the other side also ended their visit to SM company.

After arranging the entourage to rest in the conference room, Jia Yueting followed Kim Young Min to Lee Soo Man's office.

At this time, Huang Xu, who had disappeared halfway, Sunny, who had just arrived in the afternoon, and Lee Soo Man, the owner of the office, were already waiting for him here.

Seeing Sunny standing next to Huang Xu, Jia Yueting also showed an expression of understanding when he recalled the information he had looked up before coming here.

He had always been curious about why Huang Xu was so confident when facing him before.

It turns out they are a family.

And Huang Xu's rapid development should be related to Sunny and Lee Soo Man.

Huang Xu, who had no idea that he was misunderstood and thought of as a gigolo, quickly stood up to greet Jia Yueting after seeing him.

Then, I acted as a translator and helped Jia Yueting and Lee Soo-man introduce each other and had a brief communication.

Then Jia Yueting brought his men and followed Huang Xu out of the SM company building.

As for why it ended so quickly, of course it was because today was just a visit and study, and we didn’t discuss serious business at all.

If we want to get down to business, we must find a private setting where a few people can sit down and talk slowly.

On the way back in the car, Jia Yueting recalled what he had just seen during the visit and said to Huang Xu with some emotion.

"I finally understand why Mr. Huang is so confident."

“Today’s visit really opened my eyes.”

“It turns out there are so many tricks involved in the training of artists.”

"I used to think it was too simple."

"It seems that Mr. Jia has gained a lot!"

Listening to Jia Yueting's sigh, Huang Xu also looked at him with a smile on his face.

Obviously, the purpose of taking Jia Yueting on a tour now seems to have been achieved.

And Jia Yueting next to him still didn't stop his sighing.

“The harvest is indeed not small.”

"Whether it's SM or your company, they are indeed professional in training artists."

“It’s very different from the companies I’ve visited before.”

Then, Jia Yueting talked about his experiences and comparisons with the brokerage companies he had visited in China.

Compared with China's economic company, Huang Xu's MBK and Lee Soo Man's SM company appear to be much more professional.

Not only does it have a complete training system and a large number of trainees, it also has departments such as album production, composition, and MV shooting.

It can be said that the level of specialization here is higher than that in China.

After listening to Jia Yueting's words, Huang Xu was also very happy, and he had more confidence in the future cooperation.

Sure enough, after finishing the story, Jia Yueting looked at Huang Xu and said.

"Mr. Huang, let's find a place to have a good chat about cooperation."

"Of course, I have another company here, and there is some good tea that I bought some time ago. Let's go there and drink while we chat."

Looking at the enthusiastic Jia Yueting, Huang Xu glanced at the time and directly issued an invitation.

When Jia Yueting heard Huang Xu say this, he also showed a surprised expression.

“Oh, you have a company here?”

"It seems that Mr. Huang still has many secrets!"

"You're joking. I just want to make a living."

Then Huang Xu spoke to Sunny who was driving.

"Sunny, let's go to the catering company."

"okay!"

. . . . . . .

On the other side, Krystal Jung and Choi Jin-ri, who had already packed their things, did not wait until the evening, but bought some things and appeared directly at the door of the apartment.

Without knocking on the door, Choi Jin-ri, who had the key to the room, opened the door directly with the key.

But when the door opened, they were both stunned, especially Krystal Jung, who was completely dumbfounded.

"Ouni, why are you here?"
