Chapter 146 The Zheng Sisters
After finishing their meal, Zhou Wenzhe paid the bill.
After leaving the food stall, Lin Nayeon linked arms with Zhou Wenzhe and slowly walked towards Nanshan.
"By the way, I heard from Tzuyu that several of your members aren't feeling well right now?"
"Yes, we were on a long run last year with no time to rest. Even when we were sick, we gritted our teeth and persevered, which is why our health deteriorated."
"I will talk to the company and ask them to give you more time to rest."
"But our itinerary for this year was already set."
"So fast?"
"Of course, we're really popular right now."
"I know you guys are popular, but it's only February, and you've already planned out your work for the whole year?"
What do you think?
"Alright then, I'll give you some medicine to regulate your bodies."
"Um.
""
Lin Na-yeon now has great faith in Zhou Wenzhe's medical skills. After using the ointment he gave her, her leg injury has never recurred.
The two chatted and strolled along, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain.
Looking at Namsan Tower atop the mountain, Lim Nayeon suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Wenzhe with a smile, "Oppa, do you remember? We climbed Namsan together when we were little and even locked a lock on it."
"Really?" Zhou Wenzhe tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything at all.
He can remember some of his childhood memories, while he has no recollection of others at all.
"You don't remember?" Lin Nalian pouted, looking very disappointed.
"So many years have passed, how could I possibly remember?"
"Hmph, how could I possibly remember?"
"Why don't we go up and take a look, see if the lock is still there?"
"But—okay." Lin Nayeon hesitated. There were many people at Namsan Tower, and she was afraid she would be recognized. But she really wanted to know if the lock was still there, and she also wanted to climb Namsan with Zhou Wenzhe again.
The two of them walked step by step up the steps to the top of the mountain.
Zhou Wenzhe had only been walking for a short while when he felt tired. He hadn't felt tired in years. It seemed that the time travel he had overexerted himself with a few days ago had really had a big impact on him. Not only could he not use his superpowers, but his physical fitness had also declined considerably.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Na-yeon was surprised and puzzled to see Zhou Wenzhe tired after climbing only such a short distance. In her memory, he was in very good health.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired because I haven't climbed mountains in a long time."
"Oh, then let's walk slowly."
Lin Na-yeon was still surprised. She hadn't climbed a mountain in a long time and didn't exercise much, yet she didn't feel tired, while Zhou Wenzhe was exhausted.
"Um."
What should have been a half-hour journey took the two nearly an hour to reach the summit. By the time they reached the top, Zhou Wenzhe was panting heavily, looking like an elderly person.
"Oppa, what's wrong with your body?" Looking at Zhou Wenzhe's pale face, Lim Nayeon was a little worried. This was really too abnormal.
"It's alright, let me rest for a while." Zhou Wenzhe smiled slightly and sat down on a bench.
Because he hadn't exercised in the past two days, he didn't realize that his body had deteriorated to this extent. He never expected that just a small mountain like Nanshan would make him exert all his strength.
"Oppa, are you...?" Lim Nayeon's expression changed drastically. She suddenly remembered that Zhou Wenzhe had returned to the United States to treat leukemia. Seeing him like this now, she thought his old illness had relapsed.
In an instant, she felt as if the sky had collapsed, and she hugged him, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
Lin Na-yeon's action drew curious glances from those around her, but fortunately, she was nestled in Zhou Wenzhe's arms, so no one could see her face.
"Why are you crying? I'm just tired." Zhou Wenzhe wiped away Lin Nayeon's tears in surprise.
"You don't need to hide it from me anymore, I will accompany you through your treatment." At this moment, Lim Nayeon even considered leaving Twice to focus on accompanying Zhou Wenzhe during his treatment.
"Please don't curse me, I'm perfectly healthy." Zhou Wenzhe immediately understood why Lin Nayeon was acting this way. He was both amused and touched.
It really shows that true friendship is revealed in times of trouble!
However, this did provide him with a good excuse for his poor health; otherwise, how could one explain the sudden decline in health of someone who was usually strong and energetic?
"Don't lie to me, you don't look healthy at all in the current state." Lin Nayeon looked up at Zhou Wenzhe, her eyes full of worry and sadness.
"Okay, I'm just feeling a little unwell, it's nothing, don't worry."
"How can I be at ease when you're like this?"
"Alright, alright, let's go check if the lock is still there. Do you remember where it is?"
"Remember."
Lin Nayeon had completely lost interest and, feeling dejected, led Zhou Wenzhe toward the place she remembered.
Hanging a lock together around Namsan Tower is a must-do activity for all Korean couples, so the area is densely covered with locks wherever possible.
Although Lim Na-yeon remembered the place where she and Zhou Wen-zhe had hung the lock together, more than ten years had passed, and now the place was full of locks, so she couldn't find their lock at all. Moreover, the lock might have been removed.
Unable to find the lock and learning that Zhou Wenzhe was ill, Lin Nayeon was particularly frustrated, looking sickly.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Wenzhe really wanted to tell her the truth, but he couldn't tell her the truth. It seemed that he still had to raise her intimacy level to 100 as soon as possible.
He happened to have some free points, so he opened the intimacy system and clicked the "+" sign next to Lin Na-yeon's name a few times.
However, when this value reaches 90, the "+" also disappears, just like with Kim Jisoo.
What's going on?
Why can Sulli's be added, but theirs can't?
Is it because he pulled Choi Sulli back from the brink of death that he was able to get added?
He had absolutely no idea how to increase intimacy with characters born after 90.
Perhaps it was because of the increased intimacy level, but Lim Nayeon suddenly cheered up and took Zhou Wenzhe's hand, saying, "Oppa, how about I leave Twice and help you get better?"
She had only thought that way before, but now she had made up her mind. Although Twice was important to her, Zhou Wenzhe was even more important to her.
"Nayeon, I'm so touched that you said that, but my illness isn't as serious as you think. It will get better in a while."
Are you sure?
"Of course, I know my own body well, and you forgot that I can treat myself."
Hearing Zhou Wenzhe say this and seeing his affirmative expression, Lin Nayeon felt a little relieved. But no matter what, she wanted to spend some quality time with him during this period.
Just as the two were talking, a girl who had just passed by turned back in surprise, pointed at Lim Nayeon and said, "You're Nayeon, right?"
"Yes, that's me, hello."
Lim Na-yeon readily admitted it.
This left Zhou Wenzhe, who was standing to the side, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Hello, could you sign your name for me?"
The girl was somewhat agitated, but she managed to maintain a minimum level of restraint and did not make a loud noise to attract the attention of others.
"Can."
"Thanks."
The girl took out a notebook and pen from her backpack and handed them to Lin Nayeon, then looked at Zhou Wenzhe standing to the side.
At first, she thought he was Lin Nalian's manager, but after seeing his appearance, she realized that she might have discovered some incredible gossip.
After receiving the notebook, Lim Nayeon signed her name and added a message before returning it to the girl.
The girl took the notebook, thanked him again, and left.
"Let's go back too." Lin Nayeon once again took Zhou Wenzhe's arm.
"Hmm." Zhou Wenzhe looked at the hand holding his, then at Lin Nayeon. Since she had already been recognized by the fans, she was still going to do this, which showed that she was really determined.
Even if there are rumors, I'll accept it.
When Zhou Wenzhe got home, he wanted to get intimate with Lin Nalian, but before he could even start, she firmly refused, saying that he was already in such a state and she couldn't let him expend any more energy.
Zhou Wenzhe was immediately frustrated, but he was powerless to refute such a reason.
Sigh, isn't this a case of shooting oneself in the foot?
Although they couldn't be intimate, Lim Na-yeon was very caring towards him, showing concern and warmth as if she were taking care of a patient.
Oh well, this is fine too. I don't usually get this kind of treatment.
. . .
Two days later.
Zhou Wenzhe once again visited the filming set of "Major League Baseball".
The TV series is now more than halfway through filming, and it is estimated that it will be completed in about another month.
His timing today was quite coincidental; he was filming Jung Soo-jung's scenes right now.
In the past two days, Zhou Wenzhe has thought of many ways to win her over, but after thinking it over, he still feels that it is best to take it one step at a time.
Haste makes waste. He couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake on this task and had to complete it, so he was willing to wait even if it took longer.
First, we need to bring the two of them closer together.
That's easy to handle, since she got this role entirely thanks to him.
"Cut! That's a good take. Everyone, take a break." Director Jung Dong-yoon called out through a megaphone, then directed the assistant director to set up the set for the next scene.
Just then, he saw Zhou Wenzhe, and walked up to him with a smile, "President Zhou, when did you arrive?"
"Just arrived."
"What brings you here today, Chairman Zhou?"
"No, I just happened to be passing by and decided to come and take a look. I think the filming went quite smoothly."
"Going well, I estimate we'll wrap up filming in about 20 days. Chairman Zhou, you must come to the wrap party then!"
"Haha, we'll see when the time comes. I might not have time."
77
In late February, Zhou Wenzhe will take Cui Xueli on a trip to Antarctica. In March, he will go to Paris with Bae Zhufa and Bae Suzy, where they will likely stay for a while. He may not be able to make it to the wrap party for the drama.
"That won't do. We'll hold the wrap party whenever Chairman Zhou has time."
Zhou Wenzhe is not only the sole investor in "Major League Baseball," but he also had a cameo role in the series. If he couldn't attend the wrap party, it would lack a lot of meaning.
Furthermore, director Jung Dong-yoon wanted him to invest in his next drama, so of course he wanted to take this opportunity to build a relationship.
"Haha, since the director has said so, how can I not participate?"
Perfect timing! The wrap party would also be a chance to get closer to Krystal Jung, and Zhou Wenzhe certainly didn't want to miss it.
"Then it's a deal."
It's a deal.
While Zhou Wenzhe and director Zheng Dongyun were chatting, Zheng Xiujing, who was touching up her makeup, also saw him.
The moment she saw him, she found herself feeling a small sense of happiness and a little excited.
She knew why, but she didn't want to admit it.
After all, she knew that Zhou Wenzhe and Lin Yoona had a close relationship, and her own sister had an irreconcilable conflict with them.
Just then, a staff member walked over to director Jung Dong-yoon and said, "Director, someone has come to visit the set."
.
"Really? Who are you visiting on set?"
"Jung Soo-jung, her sister came to visit the set, and there were also food trucks and coffee trucks outside."
"Yes, Soojung mentioned this to me, but I was so busy I forgot. Why don't you go and tell her?"
"Okay." The staff member then walked towards Krystal Jung.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenzhe's face showed a puzzled expression. This so-called older sister must be Jessica Jung, who left Girls' Generation.
He also has a mission about her, which seems to be called "A Reunion of Girls' Generation".
The reward for this task is pretty good. If your intimacy level with Yoona reaches 90 by then, completing this task will directly raise your intimacy level to 100.
There are also some other nice rewards.
These rewards alone show that this task must be extremely difficult.
It just so happens that we ran into each other today, so I'll make contact with her first and see if there's any chance to move this task forward.
When the other crew members learned that there would be coffee and food, they walked out of the studio chatting and laughing.
Upon learning that her sister had come to visit her on set, Krystal Jung did not go out first, but instead went to director Jung Dong-yoon and Zhou Wenzhe.
"Director, what would you like to drink? I'll bring it back for you."
"No need, I can go get it myself. I should thank you, unnie."
After saying that, Director Jung Dong-yoon looked at Zhou Wenzhe and said, "Chairman Zhou, let's go together."
"it is good."
The three of them walked out of the photography studio together, where a crowd had already gathered in front of the food truck and coffee truck.
Many of the male staff members were chatting with Jessica Jung.
Zhou Wenzhe looked at the former Girls' Generation member from afar, thinking about the secrets the system had mentioned about them.
Women, being too career-oriented isn't necessarily a good thing. Take Jessica Jung, for example, who single-mindedly pursues entrepreneurship without considering the consequences.
Therefore, due to the intervention of SM Entertainment, she was essentially blacklisted by the Korean entertainment industry.
But now, after all that effort, her career is probably nearing its end.
There's no going back in this world.
