Chapter 1086 Pretty good

…………

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Bae Suzy, who was standing on the balcony, still had a smile on her face. After putting down the phone, she looked around casually, and couldn't help but walk forward a few steps, stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and stared into the distance with her bright eyes.

As he watched, as if the remaining joy in his heart was playing tricks on him, the corners of his mouth inadvertently curled up slightly, and he snorted playfully, drew the curtains, turned around and left the balcony.

"What kind of phone call can take so long?"

"Nonsense, of course I have to fight him longer if he's so handsome...Give me the wine!"

Before she walked back to the living room, she heard a burst of trivial discussions coming from inside. Several pompous female voices intertwined together, like the noisy chatter of sparrows. She vaguely heard some of the teasing content. Bae Suzy rolled her eyes a little, but the smile on her lips did not diminish at all.

She is a woman who loves drinking, eating meat, life and being lively. When she is free, she often gets together with three or five good friends to drink, chat, gossip and urge marriage... and tonight she happened to invite a few familiar friends to a party at home. Just now, she received a call from her agent in the middle of the conversation. After hanging up, she ran to the balcony and called Chi Jingyuan.

"Oh my god~ You're finally back. I thought you were going to finish your own business on the balcony before you came back."

"Dear... Hey~ what's the tone? You're so flirty. I'm about to vomit when I hear you. Does our Suzy also act like this in front of a man?"

As soon as Bae Suzy returned to the living room, several friends who were chatting immediately stopped the original topic and looked over at her in unison. Several pairs of eyes were like nails stuck in her face. Two friends who were drunk and blushing seemed to have just heard some of the content of her phone call and immediately started to make fun of her.

Although Bae Suzy has a good relationship with people in the circle and is good at socializing, most of her friends who she can chat with in private are from outside the circle. These few people have known each other for many years. There are writers from TV stations, dance teachers, and some who run their own companies. However, most of them are almost 30 years old, which is not young. When there are no outsiders around in private, the topics of their conversations are all kinds of things, and they become even more straightforward after drinking.

"You can all hear this?"

Pei Xiuzhi came over with a smile and sat back in her original seat. She glanced in the direction of the balcony from when she came and complained casually: "The sound insulation of this house is really bad!"

Then, facing the teasing of several people, she was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she put down her phone, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Then, she raised her eyebrows provocatively at her friend who was bullying her: "Are you jealous? He doesn't even watch when others are flirting!"

"……cut!"

The 30-year-old woman with big waves who just opened her mouth bared her teeth in anger

"Of course it's useless to just flirt. It still depends on who it is."

A person next to him looked at the smiling Bae Suzy and interrupted, "What's more important is to have changes. You haven't seen Suzy's usual pure and feminine appearance. Men like this kind of contrast and variety."

Several of them are close friends, so of course they understand Bae Suzy's situation and they are not shy about joking with her.

"Hey, is it true? Did you really get the GUCCI title? In the past, only female artists of Jun Ji-hyun's level could cooperate with brands of this level, right?"

"Our Suzy is really the biggest star now. If we don't look at your qualifications, I really think Jun Ji-hyun can't compare to you."

"Ah, GUCCI! My favorite things are the clothes and bags of this brand. I never thought that the woman I love the most would cooperate with my favorite brand."

After a few words of flirting, the topic soon shifted to the news they had just heard... Petty-bourgeois women like them who have considerable family wealth love luxury goods the most.

Listening to the chattering around her, mixed with undisguised envy, amazement, and even happy voices, Bae Suzy did not hide her joy at all. She held a glass of wine and listened to their discussion, taking a sip from time to time. She put one foot directly on the sofa without any elegance, as if she was listening to a praise meeting for herself, and her eyes were narrowed into slits due to smiling.

Today, we just happened to get together and heard this news. It's great... How can you enjoy this kind of thing alone? Only when a group of friends are jealous and envious can you satisfy your vanity.

After a while of noise, the artist next to them looked over curiously and said, "Suzy, what level of title is this? Is it from the Peninsula region?"

“Well, I’m the brand ambassador of Peninsula.”

"So what did he say when you just made the call? Did Jing Yuanxi help you?

"Yes~"

Bae Suzy nodded with a smile, speaking as if it was a matter of course, without any intention of evading or concealing anything.

She and Chi Jingyuan have been in this relationship for several years, and everyone present knew it.

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and said, "Before I called you, I told you it was 100% him. I didn't call him to ask him, but..."

"She couldn't stand it anymore and was looking for a man to seduce her, ne, ne! We know!"

Before she finished speaking, several people nearby immediately interrupted her with giggles, and the expressions on their faces were more gossipy than one another.

"Ha~"

Bae Suzy didn't deny it at all and even took a sip of wine nonchalantly.

You are an old married couple, so of course you have to be straightforward. Otherwise, how can you just have pure love?

Who would still believe this after being in the circle for so long? The relationship between him and Chi Jingyuan has not been that simple for so many years, but is mixed with interests, feelings, sexual desire and many other things... Of course, there is also the indispensable mutual attraction.

"Tsk tsk, he is indeed a chaebol young master, taking care of even his lover like this?"

The friend next to him couldn't help but praise: "I'm so envious of you, Suzy, is there anyone else beside our Jingyuan's pillow? I can do anything!"

"Ah, what lover? That's so ugly!"

Bae Suzy, who had been smiling from the beginning until now, finally frowned for the first time and looked over with dissatisfaction.

Although considering the fact that Chi Jingyuan has a decent girlfriend, her relationship with her is indeed a standard lover...but she doesn't like this title, and it's not fashionable at all.

"What is that?" Several charming eyes nearby suddenly turned over.

Putting down the wine glass lightly, Bae Suzy's toes on the sofa were slightly upturned, and the light-colored nail polish on them was extremely conspicuous. Even in such an indecent sitting posture, she stroked her hair very elegantly and shrugged leisurely: "Good friends~"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The several mature female girlfriends in their thirties nearby all burst into laughter instantly, especially when they saw Bae Suzy clearly knowing the situation but still looking contented, they couldn't help but laugh even more.

"To be honest, it's no wonder that even our Suzy would rather be good friends with him. He's handsome and has a good family background. Who can resist him?"

"The key is to be generous. For resources like GUCCI, they just help introduce them. And they didn't even mention it to Suzy before, right? I knew an assistant director of a TV series before. He introduced a minor supporting role in a TV series to his model girlfriend, and it was like he was doing a great favor. That was really insulting..."

"And the previous "Goblin", that one is a must-win! A benefit that even a real girlfriend can't get, right? Well, good friends are good friends~"

There was another round of heated discussion among the few people. They did not feel ashamed at all about Bae Suzy's current situation. They were even very encouraging.

To be honest, when a few girlfriends first found out about Bae Suzy and Ji Kyung-won's relationship, and learned that she was maintaining a lover-like relationship with Ji Kyung-won while he was dating his girlfriend, they were actually quite puzzled. In their opinion, Bae Suzy is beautiful and has a good temperament, and her personality can be pure but charming. Such excellent qualities that can be seen at a glance would put her among the best in the entire entertainment industry. Why must she mix with a boy band idol and be a lover in an unclear manner?

But later, after gradually understanding the huge energy hidden under the identity of Ji Jingyuan, a male idol, and seeing that Bae Suzy has achieved various satisfactions and progress in her relationship with Ji Jingyuan in recent years, including emotionally, physically, and even in her career, my previous confusion suddenly disappeared, and what was left was only understanding and even envy.

In a place like the entertainment industry, it is really lucky to find a man who can be relied on, can take care of yourself, and is even extremely handsome and can provide great emotional value.

"But...after all, it's been so many years, we can't always be good friends, right? He didn't say anything?"

After just a few words, a friend next to him interrupted quietly and suggested something indignantly: "If it doesn't work out, just find a chance to make a scene. I heard that his current girlfriend is a new idol with little experience. It's probably just for fun. With Suzy's level, can't you compete with her? Find a chance to teach her a lesson, have a fight, or even take the initiative to confront her."

"That's right. Nowadays, the crying child gets the milk. Whoever doesn't fight will be at a disadvantage."

As soon as this was said, the people around him immediately echoed it, looking at Bae Suzy, and urged confidently: "Based on what you said, Suzy, there should be no problem, right?"

Bae Suzy has been in the entertainment industry for six or seven years and has experienced a lot of things. She is definitely not one to take it easy when it comes to dealing with men or women.

"If we really want to do something, that trainee is of course nothing..."

Hearing what her best friend said, Pei Xiuzhi's smile faded a little. She sipped the edge of the wine glass gently, as if thinking about something. After a few seconds, she put the glass down, licked the corner of her mouth, and suddenly laughed softly, "But, if I really take the initiative to provoke him, he will be angry..."

Pei Xiuzhi shook her head gently, her eyes were deep and dark, as if she knew someone infinitely well. Her red lips curled up in a smile that actually had a hint of doting on her: "Men are all like this, especially those who are excellent in every aspect. They look calm and indifferent, but they are actually very proud inside. They always think that everything is under their control, including women."

"So if he does some small things, it doesn't matter. But if it's really like what you said... He will feel very surprised and out of control, but more importantly, he will feel that he has lost face... This is much more troublesome than a temper tantrum or a quarrel..."

"Whoever stirs up trouble in this kind of situation will be eliminated... at least, not in front of him."

Bae Suzy picked up the small wine glass with three fingers, placed it in front of her, tilted her head and looked at it, her drunken eyes seemed a little blurry, her innocent face without makeup looked a little flushed under the influence of alcohol, but the smile on her face seemed particularly clear at this time:

“Besides, I think it’s pretty good now~”

Girlfriends are so unstable.
…………

Although Bae Suzy said something like she was going to apologize to Ming Jingnan on the phone, Ji Jingyuan didn't take it too seriously after hanging up the phone.

The woman who could stay with him for such a long time was certainly not an ordinary person. In addition to Bae Suzy's natural appearance, what Chi Jingyuan liked most about her... or admired most was that although she seemed frivolous, she was actually a very sensible and smart woman.

It is precisely because of this that her anger, threats, and even provocations are not offensive every time, but rather more like a form of flirting and interest.

Instead, it increases the fun and freshness between men and women.

...This woman is really good. She was very good when I first met her, and she is even more powerful now.

After hanging up the phone and having dinner, Chi Jingyuan had nothing to do so he simply returned to the company.

One was to see the choreography of their Neon album, and the other was the last time Kim Taeyeon asked him to select songs for Girls' Generation's album.

Chi Jingyuan has stopped working since he was injured and hospitalized. After being discharged from the hospital, he has been taking various holidays and playing these days. He has not really paid much attention to some recent news.

During the time he was resting, the music industry was still very lively.

But for many fans and passers-by, they always feel a little uninspired, and feel that the music scene in March seems to lack the sense of prosperity as compared to February.

In February, Ji Kyung-won's solo caused many groups to withdraw, and "Love Senario", which has been recognized as the song of the year, was almost sold out and dominated the schedule for nearly a month. Although Twice's comeback in late February did not pose much of a threat to "Love Senario", the title song "Knock Knock" stubbornly achieved good results.

Although their performance was not as good as Chi Jingyuan's, and although they were suppressed badly in terms of ranking and music source, they still shone under tremendous pressure. As a result, their value was recognized by many passers-by, and Twcie's status as the first girl group of the new generation was officially recognized.

When March came, especially after Chi Jingyuan was injured and ended his activities, all the groups that had previously postponed their song releases returned one after another, and the music industry became extremely lively for a while.

But after the high-quality head-to-head competition between the TOP male solo and the TOP female group in February, watching these "deserters" inexplicably feels a little less interesting, especially since the groups have many hit songs but none, which makes the overall performance a bit bland.

The highlight of March, Kim Taeyeon's carefully prepared first full-length album "My Voice" had only mediocre performance. The title song "Fine" received OK reviews, but many people thought it was an imitation of her own "I". The overall data showed no obvious improvement, but it did not regress either.

But for an ambitious singer like Kim Taeyeon, and for the extremely competitive female solo track on the peninsula, the lack of progress is actually a very dangerous signal.

Several other groups were also mediocre, without any hit songs, especially JYP's current leading boy group GOT7, which took three years to finally prove that they were mediocre and useless. Their songs after the FLY trilogy were not recognized, and the popularity of their return dropped sharply, and they can hardly maintain their position as a first-tier boy group.

But these groups are only so-so. Among all the boy and girl groups that returned in March, the most surprising one is Gfriend's huge decline.

Debuted in 15, exploded in 16, and was popular from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The title songs of their two albums took 29 first places. Gfriend, who ranked second in the annual charts, was a miracle last year. If it weren't for Twice's two equally unexpected hits, Gfriend could have easily secured the title of "the best girl group of the new generation".

Even if Twice also soars to success, the two girl groups are still on par with each other in everything other than sales, and the competition is very fierce.

And everyone has a consensus that these two new generation girl groups are currently in a class of their own, and Red Velvet, which previously had a leading advantage, has been pulled back by more than one position.

In 2017, Twice returned in February under the pressure of Ji Jingyuan. Although many people were pessimistic about their performance in the early stage, they still relied on their high popularity, hard work and the quality of their songs to reach a new level and attracted many passers-by fans.

In March, because of Twice's outstanding performance, everyone focused their attention on Gfriend, wanting to see if the two girl groups could maintain the competitive momentum of last year and whether the title of the number one girl group could be decided. While everyone was looking forward to it, Gfriend's comeback was a surprise.

It is not known whether it was the company's request or the members' own opinion, but they gave up the iconic style 'pure power' that made them famous and gained huge popularity last year, and instantly transformed from campus girlfriends into sexy girls. The huge style span surprised and even frightened all the fans.

...Many fans like a group or an idol, but they may not like the individual, but like the style, the packaged personality, and the emotional value it brings to themselves when appreciating this personality and style.

Gfriend and her company may not realize this. The overly abrupt transformation directly led to a sharp drop in the reputation of the entire group. All data was halved, the time on the charts was reduced by half, and the fan group suffered from serious fan loss.

The most intuitive thing is that the title song of Gfriend’s previous album, "You and Me", won 14 first places, while this time "FINGERTIP" only won one first place on a small channel to save face.

Down thirteen... that's more than the total number of drops for many groups in their entire careers.

From this moment on, Gfirend, which was still very popular last year, officially announced its failure in the competition with Twice, and even directly withdrew from the competition for the TOP girl group.

In other words, for now, Twice, which has defeated its only opponent, can already be called the current number one girl group.

“…They even have to ask others for help with their title song, and they still have the nerve to call themselves the number one girl group~”

Chi Jingyuan was in the music room, listening to music and drinking coffee while muttering to himself.

If it weren't for what Kim Taeyeon asked him to do before, he would not have come to the company to work overtime today and would have gone back to play games long ago.

However, after these last few days of leisure time, he and the entire EXO started to get busy.

Preparations for the Neon album have officially begun, and several Japanese remakes of the songs have been completed. Although the remakes of the previous songs do not require new choreography, the parts do need to be changed, so the workload is still quite large.

After discussion, the company decided to use the new title song "Electric Kiss" which was strongly recommended by Avex.

EXO has a strong popularity base in Japan, so this album in Japan is not intended to be a huge hit or soar to the sky. Thanks to the hit song "Boy with Luv", their popularity in Japan is already very high. This time, they mainly want to expand their influence through intensive activities and truly enter the Japanese market.

The song "Electric Kiss" focuses on dance, the choreography is very exciting and very difficult.

However, Chi Jingyuan felt that this song was a bit mediocre, and wondered whether he should add a song to this remake of the album... But he already had a collaboration song called "Fireworks", so there was no need to distract from the focus.

When I came to the music room today, besides wanting to see if there were any songs suitable for Girls' Generation's new album, I also wanted to see if I could find one or two songs suitable for EXO.

Chi Jingyuan was feeling bored after listening to several uninteresting songs. He was thinking about something in his mind. As the song progressed, his brows suddenly raised after hearing the prelude melody:
"Huh? This song is pretty good..."
