Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 118: A Good Show

"Hyomin-ssi, I'm not sure how many more years of glory Cha Jooeun will have, but if you continue to go against her, then you will only be able to enjoy these next few days." The show director couldn't help but stick up for Jooeun. "With Cha Jooeun's status, it is definitely hard for her to get into a top agency since the industry is so competitive. But even Yeji can't say that Cha Jooeun isn't qualified. Don't you think, as a small manager, you are thinking too highly of yourself?"

Hyomin gave a deep and unhappy look at the show director. He was getting a bit out of line. Even if he was friends with Seo Yeji, how could he stick his nose into their business?

"Don't worry. I've said these words because I am certain there is no way Cha Jooeun can join Sublime!"

The show director felt Hyomin was being overly confident and pretentious. Even if she is Yeji's right-hand woman, in the end, Yeji is the CEO. No wonder she went ahead and signed Jooeun without letting her know. It seemed, there's going to be a good show to watch.

"Oh that's right, I am friends with your CEO. So I am reasonably polite to you. But from now on, as long as it is one of my shows, I don't want to see your face. I don't want us to annoy each other. Regarding this, I will speak to President Seo myself."

As for Suzy, the fact that she had brought her uncle to help her snatch the opening, he had a feeling it would make an interesting news headline. Would Lee Jeonghwan be satisfied with him doing that?

On the way home, Jooeun leaned comfortably on Jeonghwan. It seemed no other embrace in this world could make her feel safer and at ease. In regards to how Jooeun had acted in front of the show director, Jeonghwan was quite satisfied. It seemed Jooeun had seriously taken their relationship into consideration and didn't merely say she would.

"Seo Yeji wanted me to teach Park Hyomin a lesson. But instead, I made her even more arrogant."

"I'm sure someone like Seo Yeji would have predicted this outcome and actually expected you to inflate her ego." Jeonghwan said gently. "We often do things like this to teach our staff a lesson. Whenever they've gone too far, this is the only effective method to use on them."

Jooeun smiled and responded. "This method makes sense."

When you are trying to persuade someone, no method is faster and more memorable than making them suffer a fall.

"Are you tired?"

"I'm okay. Back when I was in France, I spent a record-breaking 12 hours repeatedly changing clothes." Jooeun wrapped her arms around Jeonghwan's waist and whispered in his ear. "Can't you tell I just want you to dote on me?"

Jeonghwan let out a gentle laugh and subconsciously hugged her tighter.

After arriving home, the couple had a quick shower and headed to bed. Jeonghwan watched TV with Jooeun. However, as the words 'Mini- Jooeun' appeared on the screen one time after another, Jeonghwan's eyebrows became more than slightly twisted. "This Jennie Kim has been quite active on screen. Seems YG has been promoting her so she can go on variety shows."

"But I can't do something to her just because of the words 'Mini- Jooeun'." Jooeun responded calmly. "If I do, people will say I am petty for getting worked up over a nickname. Above all, Jennie is only 16-years-old. In the public's eyes, she is only a child and should be taken care of gently."

"Don't tell me she still considers herself small..."

"Hwan, don't get involved in this. I'm sure Seo Yeji is more uncomfortable with this behavior than you, that's why she arranged a grand contract signing ceremony. I think part of her intention is to remind YG not to go too far. By utilizing her team, Seo Yeji can help me save a lot of energy. For someone like Jennie Kim that can't even be considered a proper opponent, I don't want to waste time on her. She's too small."

"Her age may be small, but her methods aren't small at all." Jeonghwan assessed.

Naturally, he didn't need to step in. But Jennie should not think that after riding on Jooeun's coattail, she didn't need to face the consequences. Although YG's intention was for Jennie to surpass the original, they would need to ask for the approval of Jooeun's fans first. So Jeonghwan had a thought. Although Jooeun had signed with Sublime, behind her, he would still provide her with a strong backing – especially when it came to managing her fans. A professional cohesive fan club should be able to handle big matters. And the matter Jeonghwan was most precautious about is the fact that Jennie resembled Jooeun. If Seo Yeji isn't going to make a move, he wouldn't have the patience to continue waiting!

Next morning. The news of Suzy Bae bringing her uncle to snatch the opening was exposed. Of course, this was a joke in itself. She was unhappy that Jooeun had landed the position out of nowhere but anyone that had seen the show would have realized, Cha Jooeun's ability and professionalism were something Suzy couldn't compare to at all. No one expected she would cause such a fuss backstage.

Of course, the big-shot actor mentioned was also ridiculed. No one imagined a highly respected senior in the film and television industry would suppress someone because of his niece. So what if they managed to snatch the opening? Weren't they destroyed by gossip in the end?

Hyomin thought this incident was created by Jooeun behind the scenes. After all, she was the type of person to insist on seeking revenge. So she couldn't help but sneer. "Cha Jooeun is sure narrow-minded. She won't even let go of such a small matter."

At this moment, they were sitting in the meeting room waiting for their meeting to start. Bohyun overheard Hyomin's whispers and laughed inside. "How could she talk about Cha Jooeun and not consider that she is exactly the same?"

"I also watched last night's show. Cha Jooeun's performance was indeed so good there are no words to describe it."

"So are you regretting that you agreed to help me prevent Cha Jooeun from joining Sublime?"

"That is already in the past." Bohyun said as he twirled the pen between his fingers. "If you have time, you should spend it on training some newcomers. That is a better challenge for Cha Jooeun. Haven't you considered what would happen if Cha Jooeun will sign with a better company? By going against her like this, aren't you afraid they will make you suffer?"

"Some things, once they are done, you can't turn back." Hyomin lowered her head with mixed emotions. She had never expected Cha Jooeun would rise up so quickly and be so difficult to control and suppress. Not only had she gotten herself in a situation she couldn't turn back from, but she had also met an opponent skilled in scheming. This made her extremely excited. She would definitely challenge Cha Jooeun to the death.

"There are times when I just don't understand you." Bohyun shook his head.

"At least I'm not as fake as you."

While the two were talking, Seo Yeji entered the meeting room with her secretary. She also brought in someone they had never imagined. "Kangjun, sit here."

Seo Kangjun? Hearing this name, Hyomin and Bohyun felt slightly guilty. Who would have thought, Yeji would actually invite this person back. Why? Of course, the thing they least expected was yet to be revealed.
