Chapter 1093 Work
I arrived at the company in the morning and went to a meeting without doing anything. The meeting lasted from morning to noon.

EXO has too many plans this year, including a Japanese album, an American album, a local album, new member solos, sub-groups, and various corresponding activities. The densely packed schedule is daunting.

After finishing his meal, Ji Jingyuan returned to his music room... During lunch, he received a text message from Bae Joo-hyun. The young lady knew that he was coming to the company today, so she came over specifically to discuss writing lyrics with him.

But when Chi Jingyuan looked up at the music room, he saw that the young lady was wearing a sports suit with a short-sleeved shirt and sweatpants. Under the white fabric of the upper body, you could vaguely see the light-colored lining inside, as well as the imprint of the cup on her chest.

But before he could even take a second to enjoy it, he noticed that there was one more person.

"Nuna?"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at Jin Taeyeon who appeared out of nowhere, and asked curiously while pushing open the door, "Why are you here together?"

"I just happened to run into Irene at the company. She said she wanted to come over to see you, and I just happened to have nothing to do so I came along to do some sightseeing."

Kim Taeyeon explained casually and followed Chi Jingyuan into the music room. She looked left and right without any sense of strangeness, as if she had returned to her own home.

Do you think this is a park, here for sightseeing?
During the return period, instead of making good use of your schedule, you act like a street urchin in the company?
Kim Taeyeon's words left Chi Jingyuan speechless. He turned around without leaving a trace to glance at Kim Taeyeon and Bae Joo-hyun who walked in together, with some malicious criticism in his heart.

...When these two short people stand together, it’s really hard to tell who is taller.

Kim Taeyeon looked around and didn't notice his eyes, but Bae Joo-hyun was keenly aware of something. Knowing Chi Jingyuan very well, she immediately had a bad feeling. She wrinkled her nose and looked at Chi Jingyuan fiercely.

Unfortunately, her face with light makeup is not aggressive at all, and she looks cute and innocent instead.

"Well, Nuna, please sit down for a moment. I'll talk to Irene about work. It will be over soon."

Chi Jingyuan probably knew why Kim Taeyeon came, and of course he would not chase her away. He took the initiative to pour her a cup of coffee and gave her some instructions.

"Alaso, Alaso, you guys just do your own things, don't worry about me."

The girl took the coffee, took a sip happily, then crossed her legs, took out her cell phone and started browsing.

Seeing her happy and contented look, Chi Jingyuan stopped paying attention to her and pulled Pei Zhuxuan to sit over to the workbench. He took a sheet of music handed over by the young lady, flipped through it, and asked, "Is this the latest revision?"

"Well, you gave me some ideas in your text message a few days ago, which gave me some new ideas. I have revised them a lot in the past two days. Please take a look and see if they work."

Bae Joo-hyun nodded lightly and sat down next to Chi Jingyuan. She put her left hand on the table and her right hand on the stool. Using this as a support point, she leaned her whole body slightly towards Chi Jingyuan, and put her head next to him as they looked at the music score on the table. The young lady seemed to have no concept of a safe distance at all at this time. If she moved forward a little more, the two of them could touch each other's faces.

However, neither Chi Jingyuan nor Bae Zhuxuan seemed to care about these things. Instead, they were looking at the music scores and communicating seriously, and their work attitude was very steady.

Bae Joo-hyun really put a lot of effort into writing the lyrics for this song which has been confirmed to be named "king domcome". This is also the first time she has tried to write the lyrics for this song herself. She was really serious about it. I don't know how much she communicated through text messages and phone calls alone. She even went to Chi Jingyuan many times.

However, the young lady's progress is really fast. From knowing nothing at the beginning and not being proficient in even the most basic words, now she can write and modify several versions of lyrics that meet the requirements on her own.

"Um……"

Chi Jingyuan looked at the lyrics in his hand carefully, trying to find some obvious mistakes and inappropriate places: "This is not bad, much better than last time."

"What about here?" Bae Joo-hyun stretched out her hand, pointed in front of Chi Jingyuan and pointed to a place on the music score.

“It’s pretty good here too…”

"The artistic conception of these words is very beautiful, but the ending sound is a bit conflicting. It might be better if it were changed to English... What do you think?"

"Oh..." Pei Zhuxuan sang twice in a low voice, blinked her eyes, and nodded in agreement: "Bajiayo~"

"besides……"

The two of them were sitting there together, discussing a piece of music seriously, but Kim Taeyeon, who was originally sitting comfortably on the sofa drinking coffee and playing with her phone, had her attention shifted away from her phone at some point. She looked up and glanced over there every once in a while, her eyes not missing any part of Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuxuan's backs, arms, sitting posture, etc. The sight of these two people acting as if they were alone made her teeth ache.

The coffee doesn’t taste good anymore, and the phone doesn’t smell good anymore.

She was really confused. They had broken up for so long, yet they got back together?
If she were Bae Joo-hyun, if her ex-boyfriend treated her like that, she would have kicked him away long ago.
And Chi Jingyuan...the devil!
He said quietly not wanting to disturb their work, but he kept complaining in his heart for more than twenty minutes before finally there was a new noise from the other side.

"This version of the lyrics seems to be almost there, and I can't find too many problems with it. I just need to change a few words and it should be finished. Well done!"

Chi Jingyuan sat up and praised Bae Joo Hyun for her answer that surprised him. After a few words of sincere praise that made the young lady look happy, he looked at the lyrics in his hand and said, "After this revision, I should consider recording a demo and submitting it... By the way, is Red Velvet going to start preparing for the next album?"

"Well, we already have a plan. It's a summer album, and we're already selecting songs." Pei Zhuxuan looked at him with curved eyes and said expectantly, "Do you want our group to sing this song?"

"correct."

Chi Jingyuan nodded and moved his chair to the computer: "It just so happens that I also have a girl group song that I have completed before. I will add your song and submit it to red velvlet."

After the hit of "Cheer Up", he also tried to write a few girl group songs, but to be honest, he felt that none of them were very good. However, there were a few that met the standards, like the one written by Bae Joo-hyun, and this song named "You Better Know" is also the one he is more satisfied with.

He was too lazy to find someone outside to sing these girl group songs. The company only had one girl group, Red Velvet, so it would be nice to sing for them if possible.

"Well... is it possible?" Pei Zhuxuan was happy at first when she heard Ji Jingyuan's words. She certainly hoped that they would sing the song she wrote, but she asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, the style of this song is very suitable for you... You still don't believe me?" Chi Jingyuan put away the music score and stood up, patting his chest. However, just as he finished speaking, a voice that had been suppressed for a long time finally came from the side:

"What do you believe?"

After a question that sounded suspicious, there was a mumbling and inaudible whisper: "I would only believe you if my eyes were broken..."

Kim Taeyeon made a few false complaints, then looked at Bae Joo-hyun with envy, who had a bright smile on her face, and asked deliberately, "You have so many works, why don't you ask me to write lyrics for you?"

Because I have clearly seen your lyric writing level in the album "I".

Chi Jingyuan complained in his heart, but smiled. He did not directly answer Kim Taeyeon's question. Instead, he sat in front of the computer and opened the music library: "By the way, Noona, I have been looking through the company's songs for several days and found a song that is very suitable for you."

"Oh? Which one?"

When Kim Taeyeon heard this, she raised her eyebrows and instantly put the matter of writing lyrics behind her. She quickly walked over and put on her headphones.

“This one.”

Chi Jingyuan found the song "Beautiful" that impressed him before and played it for Kim Taeyeon. Then, seeing Bae Joo-hyun walking over with the same curiosity, he took the initiative to hand over another earphone.

The young lady put it on happily and moved a stool to sit next to it.

After Kim Taeyeon listened to it twice, Chi Jingyuan said his opinion with some pride: "This song is very positive and healing, and the atmosphere is very good. As long as the lyrics are slightly changed, it will be particularly suitable for the setting of your tenth anniversary album that we talked about before.

"It's really true!"

Kim Taeyeon kept nodding her head as she listened, her eyes sparkling. It was obvious that she liked the song very much after listening to it. She asked tentatively with great expectation, "So, you..."
"What a pity~"

But Chi Jingyuan's tone suddenly changed, and he sighed regretfully: "I asked, this is a song that the company plans to reserve for NCT, and I heard it's the main song."

After hearing him say this, Bae Joo Hyun stopped what she was about to say as a reminder... She felt it was somewhat familiar when she heard it just now, and thought about it and realized that she had heard it at NCT's place before their debut.

"Forehead……"

The excitement that had just emerged was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water. Jin Taeyeon rolled her eyes in annoyance and said dissatisfiedly: "Then why did you tell me so much?"

In the past, relying on Girls' Generation's reputation, her and Yoona's connections and reputation, it wouldn't be difficult to grab a song... But times have changed, and with the company's current attitude, it's difficult to do so. Besides, she doesn't want to do something like bullying the younger generation for no reason.

...Kim Taeyeon suddenly frowned and looked at Chi Jingyuan, feeling something was wrong. Was this guy teasing her?
"I share good songs with you when I come across them. It also proves that I am working hard."

Feeling Kim Taeyeon's suspicious gaze, Chi Jingyuan held back his laughter in his heart, and hypocritically explained, and then seriously comforted her: "But don't worry, if you really can't find a suitable one, I'll see if I can write a song myself in the next two days..."

"But~" He looked at Kim Taeyeon and said, "But when you have time, you should tell me about your past as a girl group so that I can find some inspiration."

"Okay, let's find a time to have a drink together. You can listen to anything you want~" Kim Taeyeon immediately agreed and made an OK gesture.

Compared to the company looking for songs, she is actually more looking forward to Chi Jingyuan's work.

This matter came to an end, and the three of them sat back on the sofa and chatted casually. As they were talking, Kim Taeyeon thought of something and suddenly mentioned a piece of heavy news in the circle recently:
"Hey, Jingyuan, have you heard that IU's new album has a song she collaborated with GD on, and it seems to be the title song~"

"Qingjia? That's amazing, isn't it?"

Chi Jingyuan, who had not paid much attention to the news in the circle recently, really didn't know about this news. Upon hearing this, he suddenly became interested.

Regardless of their stance, the collaboration between IU and GD has reached the top in the KPOP world due to their status. This kind of collaboration between top artists is always something to look forward to.

But this is only secondary. The important thing is that when he heard Kim Taeyeon say this, he instantly guessed what this sister was thinking.

The two female solo singers who have developed the best in the music industry today are IU and Kim Taeyeon. Naturally, they have become competitors. Their fans are opposed to each other and they compete in their careers. However, both of them are quite proud in their hearts, so it is difficult for them to have a good relationship.

And this time, Kim Taeyeon’s official album… although the sales were good, it was only mediocre overall. However, Lee Ji-eun broke a big news over there.

"How about we find an opportunity to cooperate?"

Sure enough, the next second this sister showed her fox tail and looked over with a licking face.

Chi Jingyuan didn't mind this, he had worked with female singers many times, including Jung Eun-ji and Bae Suzy, and Kim Taeyeon had told him about the idea of ​​working on a song together a long time ago, so it was normal.

But he didn't agree directly. Instead, he pursed his lips and said, "Of course there is no problem with cooperation...but it mainly depends on whether there is a suitable song."

As he said that, he pouted and looked at Kim Taeyeon: "If we really want to cooperate, then the fans will definitely compare us with others. Noona doesn't want to be said to have lost to others in terms of performance, right? Noona, you are thick-skinned and can afford to lose, but I can't afford to lose that person~"

"Yeah, the two of us won't lose! Just have more confidence!"

Kim Taeyeon was somewhat dissatisfied. Her confidence in Chi Jingyuan was even stronger than Chi Jingyuan himself. She clenched her fists and encouraged him.

She just waved her fist twice, but she suddenly reacted and frowned instantly: "No, who are you saying is thick-skinned? Ah, Chu Gu Lei?"

"..." Just when Chi Jingyuan was about to say something with a smile, someone knocked on the door of the music room. After answering, his agent An Chengyuan walked in.

"So lively?" He laughed as soon as he saw the situation inside.

"Oppa~" Seeing EXO's manager, Bae Joo Hyun and Kim Taeyeon quickly stood up to greet him. An Chengyuan smiled and waved his hand to signal them to be more casual. He exchanged a few words with the two of them without any intention of avoiding them. He walked over and handed Chi Jingyuan a stack of information: "Jingyuan, you have a stage performance in the mainland at the beginning of next month, you should prepare for it."

"what?"

Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a second when he heard this. He didn't even have time to look at the information. He asked in surprise, "Can we go to the mainland for activities?"

"Oh, I'm not sure. It's not the mainland, but the island of Australia... After all, it's the same country."

An Chengyuan slapped his head and explained with a smile: "On the 8th of next month, Yin Yue TV will hold an annual awards ceremony in Macao Island and invited us EXO and NCT."

"Is that so? Can you explain it clearly? You made me excited for a while."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head upon hearing this and began to look at the itinerary invitation in his hand. He also sighed, not sure if it was regret or something else.

"By the way, Jingyuan, your solo album seems to be particularly popular over there. You are really popular in the mainland now."

An Chengyuan seemed to have gone to learn about it, and he talked about it with great interest:

"In addition to inviting EXO to perform, the organizer also invited you to perform as an individual. Your stage time is even as long as the performance time of the group. The other party also specifically mentioned your song, which is called... Chasing... Light... That's the song!"

Listening to An Chengyuan reading out the name of his song in difficult Chinese pronunciation, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile. His mood suddenly became smooth again, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a strong anticipation for this event.

Although he cannot perform in mainland China, this is also a good opportunity for him to connect with mainland fans...Speaking of which, although he has released a Chinese version of his solo album, he has never performed there since its release, and he hasn't even had a stage for the two Chinese songs yet.

This time I finally have the chance.

Feeling that Chi Jingyuan seemed to be in a good mood, An Chengyuan also smiled and told him some stories about the performance at this event.

While chatting, he suddenly looked at the time, then stood up, glanced at Pei Zhuxuan and the other person next to him, and reminded them:
"Mina xi and people from JYP will be here soon, Jingyuan, you should get ready."
