It's rare to see Hirai Momo react so quickly this time.
Sana Minatozaki was somewhat surprised by her friend's progress, and then quietly looked around.
Judging from the expressions and eyes of the other people, they probably all thought of this immediately upon seeing the news.
They're not stupid. Chou Tzu-yu was out for so long yesterday afternoon, and she didn't even stay in the dorm until this morning. Who wouldn't have noticed?
However, when Ji Kyung-won came to the TV station yesterday, he didn't even greet the Osaka beauty. It seems that she is still quite inferior to that black girl.
However, Sana Minatozaki was not discouraged. Some things need to be done step by step, and some things cannot be forced.
Moreover, everyone has a different self-perception and ideas... Judging from Chou Tzu-yu's appearance, she felt that this black girl seemed to be aiming for marriage.
"..."
After chatting quietly for a while, Sana Minatozaki's gaze fell on Tzuyu, who was not far away.
The girl was sitting quietly in the corner resting, wearing only a light layer of makeup, her eyes and brows were clean and clear.
She doesn't wear much makeup now, but she still looks very energetic, with a rosy complexion radiating from within.
"Ziyu."
After thinking for a moment, Sana Minatozaki got up, walked to Tzuyu's side, and gave her a familiar kiss, smiling warmly: "Why do you look so good? What did Kyungwon oppa take you to do last night?"
"I didn't do anything."
Although Chou Tzu-yu didn't tell anyone where she went, everyone tacitly knew. Upon hearing this, she blinked slightly and didn't hide anything: "I just went to see a movie."
"Watching a movie? What movie? What movies have been released recently?"
Sana Minatozaki pressed for an answer, and several people nearby looked over curiously upon hearing this.
"It's that movie, 'Ready Player One,' which was quite popular a while ago."
Chou Tzu-yu put down her phone and answered softly.
She had just sent a text message to Chi Jingyuan asking what he was doing, but Mr. Chi hadn't replied yet.
Upon hearing the name of the movie "Ready Player One," Mina, who had been silently looking down not far away, suddenly raised her head slightly.
Her eyes, hidden beneath her hair, gazed in this direction for a second before she lowered her head again, concealing all her emotions beneath her soft bangs.
"Ah, I know, I know!"
Upon hearing this, Lim Na-yeon immediately raised her hand in agreement.
This is what it means to be a fan or a party animal.
"Is it pretty?" Sana Minato asked.
"He had said before that he wanted to see this movie, but he didn't have the time."
Chou Tzu-yu tilted her head slightly, seriously recalling her feelings about watching the movie last night, and honestly shook her head: "But after watching it yesterday, I feel a little disappointed."
"Isn't it pretty?"
"Online reviews seem to be quite polarized."
Kim Da-hyun chimed in at the opportune moment: "Some people say it's just average, while others say it's exceptionally beautiful. There was quite a heated argument about it a few days ago."
Chou Tzu-yu pouted: "I don't think it's as good as the last 'Coco' movie..."
While the group chatted animatedly about the movie, Lim Nayeon lowered her hand, slightly pouting her pink lips, and turned to Yoo Jeongyeon beside her, whispering, "I want to watch a movie too..."
Yu Dingyan looked down at her phone and casually reassured him, "Then you can go when you have time. No matter how busy you are, you can always squeeze out an hour or two. You can invite Momo along."
Upon hearing this, Lim Nayeon pouted even more: "^I want to watch it in the private cinema under the starry sky."
"..." Upon hearing this, Yu Dingyan chuckled and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Why don't you just say you want to go to Chi Jingyuan's house to see him?
"We agreed to go last time, but we never had the chance," Lim Nayeon complained softly, accusing Ji Kyung-won of breaking his promise.
"We can go when our schedules are less busy. Since Kyungwon oppa has promised, he definitely won't go back on his word."
Hearing Yoo Jeongyeon's comforting words, Lim Nayeon blinked, gave a soft hum, and turned her head away.
"Hmph, I don't want to watch it anymore in a few days."
"Eh~"
On the other side, Park Jihyo was scrolling through live entertainment news when she suddenly let out a soft "Eh," her tone tinged with a hint of schadenfreude: "Why are EXO fans arguing online? It's really getting heated."
Hearing the commotion, everyone crowded around their phone screens and quickly saw the 'argument' Park Ji-hyo had mentioned.
The reason is simple: yesterday was Oh Sehun's solo debut, and five members of the group, including Ji Kyungwon and Kim Junmyeon, made a special trip to the scene to surprise and support him. Oh Sehun also posted on Instagram, but the three members of CBX were the only ones who did not show up.
What was originally a minor matter immediately aroused dissatisfaction among some sensitive Oh Sehun solo fans and group fans. Some accused CBX of lacking group spirit, while others sarcastically said that Byun Baekhyun and the others only cared about their own work.
In the comments section, the two sides' fans were engaged in a fierce online argument.
"Can you please stop with this mindless moral blackmail? The schedule for the three members of CBX was finalized long ago, it wasn't a last-minute decision."
"Byun Baekhyun, Kim Jongdae, and Kim Jonghyun value their friendship the most, okay! Fans know that as long as they have even the slightest free time, they will definitely be there to support Sehun!"
"They said they would go, but only five people actually went."
"Sehun's solo project was finalized earlier, and even if you can't make it in person, posting on Instagram wouldn't be too much trouble, right?"
"Can't you check it yourself? I told you CBX has a schedule."
"Can CBX be busier than Yuan? Yuan is involved in both variety shows and dramas, and he still goes there in his own clothes."
"To be honest, I've long felt that CBX is a small clique within the team. They've always been out of place with the rest of the team and have almost no interaction with each other in private."
“My cousin works inside SM Entertainment. She told me that EXO has actually been somewhat divided for a long time, and CBX is a small group.”
"Damn it, they even kidnapped him! Our Baekhyun just won't go. What's wrong? When Baekhyun debuted as a solo artist, was Oh Sehun there right away? He didn't join later."
No one expected that a simple backstage support event would turn into a large-scale battle among EXO fans.
However, as members of the group go solo one by one, the number of group fans is actually decreasing, while the number of sensitive individual fans is increasing.
This is the natural course of development, and it's difficult to avoid.
…………
The following day, JYP Entertainment held a team meeting to finalize the plan for the new world tour. They officially confirmed the addition of two shows in Taipei, as well as the dates, venues, and ticket sales dates.
After officially hearing the news, Zhou Ziyu waited until dinner time and then found a quiet, secluded corner to call home.
Of course, I had to share this good news with my family right away.
As soon as the call connected, I heard my mother's gentle and caring voice.
"Baby called again. Are you tired lately?"
Zhou's parents had their daughter late in life. Zhou Tzuyu was only twelve or thirteen years old when she went abroad alone to pursue her dreams, so they cared for her even more.
"I'm a little tired."
Chou Tzu-yu leaned against the wall and responded softly, her tone carrying a genuine weariness.
I returned from Chi Jingyuan Villa yesterday looking radiant and full of energy, but it was mostly the psychological comfort of being with someone I love.
I didn't get much rest at all.
I worked another day today, and that feeling of fatigue has returned intensified.
"I told you your company is exploiting people too much! You don't treat your artists like normal people at all. You have a full schedule every day with no time to breathe. Do you really think you're tireless robots?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother couldn't help but complain into the phone, her voice full of heartache:
"I've proactively contacted the company several times, hoping they could reduce your workload and give you more rest time, but every time it's the same old excuse. They say you have to work hard when you're young, and they promise to arrange rest reasonably, but it's just a perfunctory excuse! I've had enough!"
Before Chou Tzu-yu debuted, her mother still had some positive feelings and expectations towards JYP Entertainment, thinking it was a reputable large entertainment company and that the artists were treated quite well.
However, after seeing things firsthand and communicating with the companies over the past two years, I have long seen through the true nature of these brokerage firms.
Ultimately, entertainment companies are always profit-driven, and JYP Entertainment simply treats Twice as a cash cow, exploiting them for as much profit as possible.
"Work is tiring enough, but... and then there are the concerts, which just make me angry."
As they talked, the conversation turned to the concert again. Zhou's mother changed the subject, still full of resentment: "Our Tzuyu is so popular in Taiwan. I thought the company would definitely arrange a local show. I even told them. But... I'm so angry."
Hearing her mother's complaints, Chou Tzu-yu immediately interrupted with a smile, her voice light and cheerful, filled with undisguised joy: "Mommy, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you!"
"The company changed the schedule today. Two more shows have been added to the tour in Taiwan. We were just officially notified today."
"what?"
Mrs. Zhou was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, her voice rising involuntarily: "An extra show?"
“Yes, in October, in Taipei.” Chou Tzu-yu nodded.
"Not Tainan, right? Taipei is better. There are more people in Taipei, and the venues are bigger... Anyway, it's all the same in Taiwan."
Zhou's mother was clearly delighted to hear this, speaking rapidly and unable to hide her joy. Then, with a hint of doubt, she asked, "Why are there suddenly more shows? Has your company changed its ways?"
"Or...did you go to the company to talk to them?"
"What's the use of saying that?"
Chou Tzu-yu pouted slightly, paused, and then lowered her voice sweetly with a hint of secret pride, saying, "It was him who helped."
"he?"
Mrs. Zhou repeated it softly, then immediately realized after a moment's thought: "Oh, it was Jingyuan who said it?"
"Hmm~"
"It's crisp," Chou Tzu-yu said.
"You went to Jingyuan for help? Oh dear, why bother him with something like this? You're such a child." But when Zhou's mother heard this, she scolded him instead.
In her opinion, the relationship with Ji Kyung-won should be used for more important things. It's okay to postpone the concert a little longer. Although there might be disappointment, it's not that important. There's no need to go out of your way to ask for help, making people think that Chou Tzu-yu is being inconsiderate.
"I didn't say that!"
Chou Tzu-yu immediately retorted, then paused, and said softly, "I just casually mentioned to him a long time ago that I really wanted to hold a concert in my hometown, and I'd completely forgotten about it..."
"It turns out he had kept it in mind all along and secretly helped me communicate with him; I only found out yesterday."
"You mean Jingyuan contacted your company on its own initiative without telling you beforehand?"
After listening, Zhou's mother roughly understood what had happened and confirmed with some surprise: "It's because you casually mentioned it a long time ago, and then he remembered it?"
"Hmm~"
The short nasal sound, soft and sweet, couldn't hide the happiness and pride in her heart.
"This……"
After a long silence, Zhou's mother sighed softly, her voice filled with emotion, "Jingyuan is so good to you~"
“I’m very good to him too.”
Chou Tzu-yu muttered something under her breath.
Mrs. Zhou pretended not to hear and instead pressed on, "Did you thank them properly?"
"No need to thank me..."
Chou Tzu-yu complained.
Although she was actually very grateful and had already thanked him.
But her mother always said that, but she felt that saying thank you deliberately would seem too distant given her relationship with Chi Jingyuan.
"Even if it's your relationship... you definitely need to show some appreciation for this. Let me tell you, when you're with a boy, including your boyfriend, no matter how good the relationship is, if it's to last, you need to use some skills. He's helped you so much, you definitely need to..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother began her earnest instruction again, sharing her experience with Zhou Ziyu.
Chou Tzu-yu listened quietly, neither refuting nor giving perfunctory answers.
It's unclear whether Chou Tzu-yu listened or not, but soon, Chou's mother's emotions were completely stirred by the upcoming hometown concert, and she happily began making plans:
"But it's so great that the concert is being held here. Mom will start preparing now. I'll talk to your dad first, then tell your aunt and uncle, and also your sister Huijun's family..."
After saying all that, here's a happy summary:
"They'll all definitely come then, let them all see how popular Tzuyu is!"
The mother's cheerful voice came through the receiver. Zhou Ziyu leaned against the wall, her eyebrows curved, and her clear childlike innocence made her look exceptionally happy.
…………
Meanwhile, the online launch event for "Spying" which has been in preparation for many days is about to begin.
The press conference was well-organized and brightly lit, with a huge promotional poster in the background. The main actors were seated in order, with Ji Kyung-won, as the male lead, sitting firmly in the center.
Netflix had been generating buzz for the press conference a lot in the days leading up to it, and Chi Jingyuan had also done his best to help promote it. Even before it started, the live stream was already incredibly popular, topping the charts for its time slot.
...Although there weren't any popular idols doing live streams during the same time period.
Chi Jingyuan sat upright in the center of the seat, wearing a minimalist black haute couture suit. The tailored suit was neat and well-fitting, which made him look tall and slender.
To his left was Kim Ji-won. The two maintained a safe distance, occasionally exchanging simple glances in front of the camera, appearing polite and proper.
...No one could tell that the two were already very familiar drinking buddies, and had even had a drink together just before they arrived.
"My God! Chi Kyung-won is so handsome!"
"I originally thought it was just Ji Kyung-won, but now it seems the cast is pretty good. Kim Ji-won and Lee Sung-kyung are both there, but I don't recognize this second male lead at all."
"I'm so excited! Ji Kyung-won's dramas have never disappointed me."
About ten minutes later, once the buzz had died down, the host, holding cue cards, officially began the press conference for the upcoming broadcast of "The Spy".
