Chapter 83 It's so good to know you
"Alright, you can go back and practice now. You can call me if you need anything."
"Um."
Zhou Wenzhe sent Liu Zhimin back to the practice room. Now that he knew what her so-called worries were, he just needed to figure out a solution.
First, we need to confirm whether SM Entertainment has any plans for a new girl group, and if so, when they plan to launch it.
If not, could we introduce Yoo Jimin to other entertainment companies for a tryout? In other words, IZTY already has its debut members confirmed, otherwise we could add her in.
After taking a few steps towards the practice room, Liu Zhimin turned around and couldn't help but ask the question: "Director-nim, why are you helping me?"
"Uh... I just feel like you're a lot like one of my younger sisters."
"My sister?" Liu Zhimin murmured to herself, accepting the reason.
Otherwise, what else could it be?
She's taken a liking to me?
With so many beautiful seniors in the company, how could he possibly be interested in an ordinary trainee like me?
Back in the practice room, everyone's eyes were on Yoo Jimin, and those eyes conveyed a range of emotions.
There were envious looks, jealous looks, and bewildered looks from the trainees who had bullied her before, fearing her retaliation.
When a trainee has a company director standing behind him, everything changes.
After Liu Zhimin returned to the practice room, Zhou Wenzhe also turned to leave. As soon as he turned around, he saw Pei Zhuxuan looking at him with disdain from a distance.
He was taken aback and blurted out, "What are you doing here?"
Only after asking the question did I realize how stupid it was. This is SM Entertainment's practice room, so it's not unusual for Bae Joo-hyun to be here.
He's the one who's not normal here.
"I was about to ask you the same thing, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to find someone."
"Looking for that female trainee from earlier?"
"You saw it?"
Bae Joo-hyun rolled her eyes. Would she have said that if she hadn't seen it? She asked coldly, "How do you know our company's trainees?"
"Why can't I know them? I know not only trainees from your company, but also trainees from other companies." Zhou Wenzhe was very dissatisfied with Pei Zhuxuan's questioning tone, as if he had done something wrong to her.
"You...you're not one of our company's employees. This is a girls' practice room. If you don't leave, I'm calling security," Bae Joo-hyun said, somewhat exasperated.
"Excuse me, I really am an SM Entertainment employee. Look what this is." Zhou Wenzhe pulled out a work ID from his pocket and proudly waved it in front of Bae Joo-hyun.
When Bae Joo-hyun saw the photo and name on the work ID, she was stunned. The work ID was actually real. When she saw the job title section, she stood there dumbfounded.
director?
When did he become a company director?
"So, anything else to say?" Zhou Wenzhe raised an eyebrow. He found himself particularly enjoying seeing Bae Joo-hyun's helpless expression, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
"When did you become a director of our company?" Bae Joo-hyun didn't want to believe it was true, but the facts were right in front of her.
Directors are considered top executives in the company, and are very important figures to these artists.
"Just a while ago."
"Does Seungwan know?"
"I was planning to surprise her, but I didn't expect you to find out first."
"You did this for her?" Bae Joo-hyun suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, which made her momentarily confused about her own feelings.
"A little bit, but not entirely."
Bae Joo-hyun didn't say anything more, and walked past Zhou Wenzhe.
Zhou Wenzhe turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Come to my house sometime when you have time."
"What are you going to do?" Bae Joo-hyun turned around and glared at Zhou Wenzhe upon hearing this.
"I've already gotten back what I promised you last time. Don't you want it anymore?"
"I understand." Bae Joo-hyun then remembered that Zhou Wenzhe had said he would give her some medicine to help her grow taller.
Although she wasn't sure if this medicine would work, the medicines he had given her before had all worked, and the effects were very good.
"If you don't want to come and pick it up, I can bring it here for you."
"No need, I'll get it."
"Then give me a call before you come."
"Um."
. . .
After parting ways with Bae Joo-hyun, Zhou Wenzhe went to the parking lot, returned to his car, and waited for Choi Sulli's call.
After waiting for about half an hour, the phone rang.
A little while later, Choi Sulli arrived at the parking lot and got into his car.
Zhou Wenzhe noticed that she didn't look well and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, you can drive now."
"Where to?"
"It will be all right."
This answer left Zhou Wenzhe a little confused. Any name would do, but he didn't ask any more questions. He started the car, stepped on the gas, and drove off.
After leaving SM Entertainment, Choi Sulli asked, "Did you come to the company today for something?"
"Yes, I'd like to discuss some work-related matters with President Kim Young-min."
"What are you talking about?"
Zhou Wenzhe noticed that Cui Xueli was acting strangely. In the few times he had interacted with her before, she had never questioned him about his affairs like this. What was wrong with her today?
"Nothing important, just chatting. How's your script reading going? When are you going for the audition?"
"Is this script being funded by your company next week?"
"Hmm, the script is pretty good, isn't it?"
"It's good, but..." Choi Sulli hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"I think... I might not be suitable for the role of Li Shiying."
Lee Se-young is the name of the female lead in "Major League Baseball". She is the youngest operations manager of the baseball team. Choi Sulli felt that she was not suitable for this role because it is a decisive and capable professional woman, and she is not able to portray that feeling right now.
She felt that Krystal Jung was more suitable for the role, so she was considering giving up.
"Let's give it a try first."
"Well, you won't have the final say on these roles, will you?"
"I can make the decision, but I still need to respect the opinions of the director and screenwriter."
"oh."
"What? You want me to give you special treatment?"
"What? I don't want to!"
"Don't worry, as a friend, I'll think of you if there's a suitable role for you in the future."
"That's not what I meant. I meant... if Soojung makes it to the final selection, could you use her?"
"Jung Soo-jung? I have no connection with her." Zhou Wenzhe didn't have a good impression of Jung Soo-jung.
"Oh, even if you help me, it's not enough."
Over the years, Sulli has always felt guilty towards f(x) and its members, but she was powerless to help them. So this guilt has been weighing on her heart, causing her great suffering. Now, she finally has something she can do for them.
Although she would still have to trouble Zhou Wenzhe, she could repay his favor.
"What benefits do I get?" Zhou Wenzhe turned to look at Cui Xueli and smiled.
He was actually willing to help with her request. Even if it was an unreasonable request, he would do his best to help her, let alone just a role.
This was not because of anything else, but because of her that he began a new life.
"What benefits do you want?" Choi Sulli replied coquettishly.
"I'll have to think about that carefully."
"I'll do anything you ask, as long as you agree."
"I was just kidding." Zhou Wenzhe didn't expect Cui Xueli to make such a promise.
"I'm serious," Choi Sulli said earnestly, then continued, "Because of what happened to me, Krystal and the others haven't had a good time all these years, and the company doesn't value them. So... I hope you can help me this time."
"Okay, I promise you, as long as her performance is approved by the director and screenwriter, I will use her."
"Thank you, Wenzhe."
"Don't mention it, we're friends."
"Mm." Choi Sulli gave a faint smile, thinking to herself, "It's so good to know you."
