Chapter 1104 Tai Yi's Comment

"...Yuan? Him? Why are you suddenly mentioning him?"

When Wen Taiyi heard the pretty little girl next to him suddenly mention this name, he frowned immediately, seeming a little unhappy.

Out of his innate aversion and deep jealousy, coupled with several previous contacts, he unknowingly had made this EXO TOP senior the artist he hated the most in the circle.

Although... in fact, Chi Jingyuan and he didn't interact much at all, and the few times they met, they didn't even say a word except for greeting each other.

"Are you curious, Oppa? Yuan is so popular now, and many of my sisters are his fans... Oppa, you are so popular and have such a wide network of contacts, so you must know a lot of news in the circle. You just mentioned a few other artists, so Yuan must know too, right?"

The little internet celebrity didn't seem to sense Wen Taiyi's dissatisfaction at all. With sparkling eyes and a curious look on her face, she came over and hugged his arm and shook it non-stop: "Oppa Oppa, Yuan looks so handsome, is his face made up?"

"Oppa, tell me~"

"Taeil Oppa!"

Obviously, this topic interested the girls around them. To be able to learn about the secrets and truth of those idol artists who appear on TV every day and seem unattainable from the mouth of a popular idol in the SM circle, and to pry into their privacy, made these young girls' vanity and desire to show off explode with excitement, not to mention Ji Jingyuan, who is one of the best male idols in Kpop today.

Several girls began to cheer in a sweet voice, and flattered Wen Taiyi in a coquettish manner.

"Ha~"

Wen Taiyi just fell for it. His arm was nudged by the little internet celebrity next to him, and he felt comfortable all over. He drank a sip of wine handsomely, with a smug look on his face. He said with some disdain, "Is it artificial? Chi Jingyuan has been bragging about his natural face, but how can an idol who debuted not have cosmetic surgery and treatments? Do you really believe it?"

"So what's he like in real life? Is he handsome? Does he have nice skin?"

"It's just like that... the skin is average... well, the body proportions are not good either."

"Is Yuan a real royal? Is the mountaintop villa in his personal variety show real or fake? I heard it costs hundreds of billions!"

"It's just a matter of watching. Lee Soo Man doesn't even have that kind of villa... It's better than ordinary people. They are just a merchant family."

Amid the questioning of several girls nearby, Wen Taiyi was too lazy to hide his disgust any longer and commented on Chi Jingyuan without hesitation.

He really enjoyed the crowds and enthusiasm of the pretty girls around him. The comfort of being flattered mixed with the drunkenness spread all over his body. In addition, he hated Chi Jingyuan very much, so he became more and more unreserved as he spoke.

Although... he made a lot of subjective changes to many things and did not tell the truth.

Or he knows that his evaluation is biased, but deep down he doesn't want to acknowledge the other person's excellence, and he is unwilling to say anything good about that person.

"Oppa, there have been a lot of scandals about Yuan since his debut. Do you know which one is true? Does he have a girlfriend now?"

At this time, the female internet celebrity who asked the question at the beginning asked another question out of curiosity, which immediately attracted the interest of everyone around her.

"Hiccup~ He's the kind of person who..."

Wen Tai's eyes flashed with jealousy. He burped and sneered, and was about to speak out, but he was interrupted just before he started.

"Taeil!"

Wen Taiyi's mind was a little confused at this time, but there were some sober people around him, so Li Mark interrupted him directly.

He wasn't in a big way, so of course he knew that some things could be said and some things could not be said.

Although many of the girls next to them are fans of NCT, there are also trainees and internet celebrities. These girls are the most unreliable. It’s okay for them to brag and pretend to be cool, but if such privacy is really exposed and causes any impact, Chi Jingyuan will deal with them without saying anything about the company.

Seeing that Wen Tai didn't appreciate it and looked at him with an expression of dissatisfaction at being interrupted, Li Mark was immediately speechless.

...These young idols who are young, poorly educated, became famous at a young age and are surrounded by fans, which leads to biased self-perception. They are the easiest to become arrogant, and Wen Taiyi is the most brainless one in their team.

"Don't drink too much and keep your mind clear...we still have things to do later." Li Mark didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so he smiled and winked at him.

Wen Tai understood immediately, and all the displeasure on his face disappeared, revealing a knowing smile.

Today's activity is called 'selecting a concubine', not 'drinking and chatting'.

The CLUB at this moment is just a foreplay warm-up, the main course will have to wait until after it’s over.

Wen Taiyi had actually been unable to wait... because the quality of the fans and other girls who came today was not very good, and he had long been eyeing the young internet celebrity next to him who was dressed in youthful and beautiful clothes. This girl had exquisite makeup, a curvy figure, and a particularly seductive voice, which was exactly what he wanted.

Although there are some human traces, who cares about those now?

Wen Taiyi said no more and raised his glass with Li Mark and the others. Their eyes were filled with smiles and expressions of "we all understand".

…………

After the CLUB party ended, several good friends of NCT exchanged glances with each other, and without even saying goodbye, they each ran to the hotel with their chosen targets, leaving behind a few female fans who were not chosen, secretly stamping their feet with regret and jealousy on their faces.

Arrived at the hotel, entered the room that had been booked long ago, hugged, and did business.

"..."

The room was filled with the charm of alcohol and a slightly strange smell. Wen Taiyi, who was decisive and ruthless in killing, lay on the cushion of the big bed, breathing lightly, as if he was recalling his decisiveness and toughness.

"…Oppa, here you go."

The little internet celebrity next to him, Li Ruixi, whose name is now known, sat up, and regardless of the coolness on her body, she leaned over and took out a cigarette from a pack of cigarettes on the bedside, lit it up and took a puff herself, then obediently handed it to Wen Tai's mouth, looking obedient and attentive.

Wen Tai didn't move at all, he took two puffs of the cigarette with satisfaction, and felt refreshed all over, and the drunkenness was slightly less severe.

"..."

Li Ruixi picked up her mobile phone, pressed a few buttons as if to reply to a text message, and then casually put it upside down next to the pillow. Then she arched her body to the side, leaned next to Wen Taiyi, and said delicately: "Oppa, tell me more stories about the circle...."

"...More to say? Didn't I say it just now?" Wen Taiyi didn't notice her little action at all. Instead, he opened his arms and hugged the little internet celebrity in a manly manner.

"I just mentioned a few people, but I didn't mention many others."

Lee Seo Hee leaned in obediently, and her feminine features were placed on his chest without reservation: "I have always been interested in artists... I wanted to go to SM to be an idol, but I didn't pass the selection."

"Huh..." Wen Taiyi was very satisfied with the little internet celebrity's flattery. He stretched out his hand and teased her twice, then asked with a joking smile: "Who are you interested in?"

This circle is like a layer of film. Many people outside are very interested in it, and even have various filters for idols, and often have fantasies and longings in their hearts.

But people like him are different. They may have some fantasies before their debut, but after a long time since their debut, they no longer have the original filter.

"Isn't SM the biggest company right now? Let's talk about SM's artists. It just so happens that you are also from SM, Oppa."

"SM..."

Wen Taiyi took a deep breath. Although he was talking about his own company, he did not show any respect or good tone. Instead, he laughed for some reason: "It looks prosperous now, but in fact, the artists are just like that. Many artists can no longer keep up with the times."

"TVXQ is out of fashion. Who can even hear their name now? They are just using the Japanese market as an ATM...Jung Yunho also likes to put on airs in front of his juniors, acting like he's some big shot."

"SJ is no longer popular. All the new fans have been taken away by us and XO. The members themselves are not doing well. When you meet them in private, many of them have faces like steamed buns. I don't know how such a greasy middle-aged man can still have fans."

"Girls' Generation is out of fashion, and most of the members are not good-looking. Some of them are extremely ugly. But from what I hear, they are probably going to disband."

"Irene is the only good-looking red velvet, but she's too short and a bit pretentious."

"..."

Several of SM's signature groups that had achieved considerable success in their time were now completely unworthy of mention in Wen Taiyi's mouth. There was not a trace of respect for his predecessors in the company in his tone of words. Instead, he made all kinds of comments with disdain.

However, unlike the previous time when he drank a little too much in the club, he did not mean to brag at this time. Instead, he said what he really thought... This is how he really viewed these senior artists in his heart.

Li Ruixi originally just wanted to ask some questions casually, but she didn't expect to hear Wen Taiyi's blunt and sharp comments. She didn't even expect the sharpness of his words. After a slight pause, her eyes were full of surprise and excitement. She leaned on him to flatter him and ask questions, while unnoticedly moving her cell phone closer.

"What about EXO, Oppa? How about EXO?" Wen Tai commented and only EXO was left. Li Ruixi immediately asked curiously about this most popular group.

"EXO's ability is really not as good as their reputation. Half of the members are not that talented. When they were promoting together before, their group dance was not as complete as our NCT. They just rely on the company's support and fans' praise."

When talking about EXO, the insurmountable mountain that now weighs on NCT, Wen Taiyi felt a surge of indignation, and his tone changed from the ups and downs he had just used to comment on others to a somewhat hurried tone: "The members are also funny. I don't know if you've heard of them. There are a few people in them who are famous for playing tricks, like Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in, and I heard there's also Oh Sehun..."

"Especially Kim Jong-in, he is really not good-looking in private, and only barely looks good on camera with makeup. Yet, I heard that he likes to play around in the circle, and I heard that he is quite famous and has a nickname called 'Peacock'"

Wen Taiyi curled his lips with disdain and envy and said, "If I had joined SM a year earlier, I would probably have been able to take him down."

"Qingjia, is Kai this kind of person? I really can't tell." Li Ruixi's eyes lit up when she heard this. This unconcealed secret of the circle really made a small internet celebrity like her feel like she had entered a new world.

"..."

Just as she was about to ask something, Wen Taiyi's cell phone next to him rang. He reached out and took a look at it, then patted Li Ruixi's butt, sat up and started touching the screen, as if he was sending a message.

"Oppa, what are you doing?"

Li Ruixi watched for a while, leaned over to take the cigarette from Wen Taiyi's mouth and put it in her own mouth, while hugging him from behind, looking at the screen and asking.

"...Nuna, don't you think my face is the most handsome? I feel like I can never get tired of looking at it, right? You think so too, right? Please make it more prominent next time."

With a glance, he saw the message typed on Wen Taiyi's mobile phone. As soon as Li Ruixi finished asking, he clicked send.

"A fan of mine, but she's already over 30 years old, with average looks and figure, and she's not young anymore but still fantasizes about me every day, and she actually thinks I'm treating her like a nuna..."

Wen Taiyi said carelessly while typing: "But my family is very wealthy and willing to spend money. This kind of meal is stupid and easy to cheat. I'll chat with her when I have nothing to do."

"...Are you very rich?" Li Ruixi asked curiously.

"Not bad. Last time she bought me 100 albums, and all the peripherals and calendars. She also gives me some gifts every now and then, such as tablets and game consoles. Hey, this iPhone was also given by her."

Wen Taiyi said this casually and showed the phone in his hand, but there was no kindness in his tone. In addition to a sense of entitlement, there seemed to be a hint of mockery in his voice for the naivety of this female fan.

"Axi..."

As they were talking, Wen Tai suddenly cursed without knowing what the other party had sent. Then Li Ruixi saw him think for a moment and quickly typed out a few messages:

"Does he have dark circles under his eyes? He's not in good shape, you can see that too!"

"Actually, I have advised him to smoke less. Maybe he has been under a lot of pressure recently."

After sending it, Wen Tai put down his phone and said with some dissatisfaction:
"This woman has good feelings for Lee Taeyong besides me, and she even asked me about him. What a stupid woman, and what a stupid Lee Taeyong."

Looking at Wen Taiyi gritting his teeth, Li Ruixi instantly understood the meaning of the text message. Looking at the popular idol in front of her, there was something strange in her eyes.

This guy doesn't look very smart, but I didn't expect that he would be so good at competing for tea with rich fans.

"Oppa, Lee Taeyong, what's wrong?" Lee Seo Hee observed for a few seconds, touched the phone next to her, rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong? He relies on the company's support to act pretentiously in the team every day, and he always interferes in everything. He even tells the agent about our personal matters. I really want to slap him. He is the most disgusting person in NCT."

"The most hateful thing is that he knew we all hated Chi Jingyuan, but he still had to flatter us."

"Oh, and... %￥ Chi Jingyuan, who looks quite kind on the surface, but actually looks down on everyone because he is a royal family member. He doesn't even bother to pretend when he sees us in private, but Lee Taeyong approaches him to curry favor with him. He has no shame at all."

After being provoked by the fan just now, Wen Taiyi was obviously a little angry at this time, and his tone was full of swear words. Especially after mentioning Chi Jingyuan, his emotions became even more intensified, as if his pain point had been poked again.

Li Ruixi was very excited when she heard it.

After going around in circles, she finally came to Chi Jingyuan. She showed a happy expression on her face and leaned on Wen Taiyi again. She touched the phone next to her and handed him the cigarette. She asked the question she had asked before but was interrupted:

"So this is how Lee Taeyong and Ji Jingyuan are. I won't talk about Lee Taeyong since he's so disgusting... Oppa, is Ji Jingyuan really a royal? Who is his girlfriend now?"
