rother or senior. He would even occasionally take the initiative to strike up a conversation to show his closeness. 。Chi Jingyuan didn't give him a cold face and refused either. Even if a member of th..."Annyeonghaseyo..."

After going back last night, it was almost 4 in the morning. He didn't get a few hours of rest. In the morning, he got up again to shoot commercials. Others didn't know, but Park Ji-won himself wasn't doing well mentally. When he came in the morning and faced Kim Ji-soo who proactively greeted him with a smile, he just smiled and nodded without saying much.

This girl seems not to care about being ignored yesterday when she proactively wanted to exchange contact information. She still greeted with a bright smile as if nothing had happened. Not to mention anything else, this artist's mentality is considered quite mature.

When an idol can't be too thin-skinned, especially during the period when they are not very popular.

Ji Jingyuan, of course, showed no abnormalities. He had received similar calls and confessions countless times before. Since his debut, he had frequently encountered artists who took the initiative to approach him and request his contact information. Some were popular ordinary artist seniors, while others were flamboyant female idols.

With EXO being such a popular group, and with Park Ji-won's excellent looks, he was highly sought after by female idols in the music industry. Since he interacted with so many male artists every day, he knew who was genuinely attractive, who relied on makeup, and who was just average. These girls had many tricks up their sleeves. They often used means like makeup artists, backup dancers, buying drinks, and introductions through friends to express their interest. This was especially frequent during the "Growl" and "The Heirs" periods. Back then, Park Ji-won would encounter one or two female idols expressing their feelings whenever he went to the waiting room after a performance.

He doesn't actually mind this kind of behavior, after all, it's a kind of recognition of his charm and popularity.

This ad shoot was a collaboration with him. For Kim Ji-soo, who hadn't debuted yet and was still just a trainee, it might have been a good opportunity to get some screen time. But from Park Jung-won's point of view, it was just an ordinary advertising collaboration. Although the other party left a rather special impression on him, it wasn't enough to exchange contact information and become friends.

Jin Ji-xiu apparently understood as well. Although their interactions the next day during filming didn't seem much different, she was noticeably more reserved than yesterday and didn't bring up exchanging numbers again.

Wearing a single top and short skirt, Jin Ji-soo endured the extremely low temperature to finish the last part of the outdoor photoshoot. She politely bid farewell to all the staff and Park Kyung-won with a bow, watching as he smiled and nodded in response. Turning her head, she got into the van without any hesitation and disappeared in a flash. She muttered under her breath and sat down in the van, starting her journey back to the company.

"Jisoo, you've been doing really well these past few days. You don't seem like a rookie at all! PD even praised you to me earlier. The TV commercial hasn't been edited yet, but the still photos look great and the brand is very happy with them."

"I think, based on your performance, you could even debut as an actor through commercials or modeling without debuting from the group. It would be pretty good."

After getting in the car, the manager, with a smiling face, kept praising her while driving. Kim Ji-soo seemed to be a little listless, lazily slumped in the back seat, like a puddle of mud with no strength at all, clinging to the seat. Hearing the manager's praise, she curled her lips slightly and said in a familiar voice with a hint of coquettishness: "Really that good Oppa, if you praise me any more, I'll be arrogant."

The agent burst into laughter, seeming to really like Kim Ji-soo's tone: "Haha, that's really great. You didn't see the look Park Jin-hyun, CEO of CEO’s agency, gave us at the beginning. He didn't seem to care about us at all. Yesterday when we first met, he clearly looked down on your trainee status... But just now when it ended, he even came over to say goodbye. It's obvious his opinion of you has changed a lot."

"oppa, you actually remember this so clearly..." Although she had perfectly finished the ad shoot and made both the brand side and the PD very satisfied, Kim Jisoo inexplicably wasn't in a good mood. Even when facing her manager's praise, she only managed to muster up some spirit to squeeze out a few smiles, but her gaze kept drifting towards the window, thinking about other things.

Back at the company, they first went to have a small meeting with the department head along with their manager to discuss the advertisement shoot. Then, Kim Jisoo bid them farewell and returned to the practice room. As soon as she opened the door, there was only her acquaintance friend Kim Jennie sitting there, crossing her legs and playing on her phone.

“I’m back.” Kim Ji-ni glanced up at her for a moment before continuing to stare at her phone, casually greeting her. A few seconds later, as if she had suddenly remembered something, she looked up again, blinked at Kim Ji-soo, and proactively stood up to meet her: “By the way, how was the ad shoot Is Park Ji-seon himself handsome What’s his personality like Is he arrogant”

Seeing her enter, he didn't even look up and just said, "You're back." When asked about the handsome guy, he immediately came over enthusiastically to be close. His fawning attitude made Kim Jisoo roll her eyes in annoyance and walk over to grab a bottle of water. She opened it while replying lukewarmly, "It's finished... You've seen him before, why ask so much."

"Oh, that was so long ago, and I only glanced at him then. The lighting wasn't very good either…" Kim Ji-ni didn't seem to mind the other person's coolness. She leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and interest as she said, "So, how is he I heard from friends in the industry that池景源 isn't very photogenic. He's really amazing in real life, but his personality seems to be not so good, quite hard to get close to…"

"Hmm…" Kim Ji-soo pulled her left hand back from Jennie's unintentional embrace, remembering the experience of being ignored last night. She still felt a bit resentful and embarrassed about it. She glared at Jennie with dead fish eyes and waved her hand looking a little tired: "That's about it."

"Is that about right So that's really it then Wow, I heard from a friend that Chi Jingyuan is one of the best-looking male idols out there. Too bad it's impossible to get in touch with him normally... Oh, did you get his contact information"

"...No, why would you need contact information" Jin Ji-soo had anticipated this question before she even returned. She directly shook her head in a resolute denial.

Even among close friends who practice together, women tend to care more about these issues of face and reputation. She wouldn't possibly say anything about the real situation.

...Not to mention in front of Kim Jennie.

"Oh, what a shame. If I were you, I would have definitely asked for her number," Jennie said with a disappointed smile, her eyes as if Kim Jisoo had committed the biggest sin imaginable.

"Jin Ji-soo rolled her eyes again, speechless and countered, “Even if you ask for him, he might not give it to you. He’s a big shot in EXO, the second highest earning artist in Korea last year. Do you think he knows who you are”

As she spoke, her voice took on a different tone.

“Of course I want to! How would I know unless I try As for me, I definitely want to……And it’s just rumors, who knows what Park Ji-seong is really like in private Maybe he enjoys playing with trainees, just like those Big Bang guys. I've heard and seen so much in this industry, who actually acts aloof”

Kim Ji-ni let out a real, dismissive snort. Then, with a hint of fantastical longing, she smacked her lips and said, "If I could actually date Park Gyeong-won for a while, wouldn't that be something to brag about…"

"Kim Jisoo sighed and remained silent."

Although Jin Zhixiu was already very familiar with and understood some of her friend's ideas and concepts, sometimes she still felt that there were some differences and generational gaps between them on this topic.

Seeing Kim Ji-ni already imagining what she would do if she started dating Park Jeong-won, Kim Ji-soo shook her head and didn't say much, too lazy to burst her somewhat naive hope.

Once you see him and get ignored by him, you'll know what kind of person he is.

"Dating Don't even say dating, I'd be impressed if you could even get her phone number."

…………

"You told me to take my driving test as soon as possible last year, so why did it take until now to get it"

After finishing the commercial, Chi Jingyuan finally passed his driving test after two busy days. He finally became a licensed driver who could drive himself. Afterwards, under his second brother's invitation, he went home for a visit and had dinner with his second brother who had specially made time to wait at home for him.

After finishing the meal, Ji Jingxu sat on the sofa and glanced at the driver's license his younger brother had just shown him. He curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"What can I do about it I was swamped back then and didn't have time to take the exam. Besides, I already got it." Ji Jingyuan, who had just finished his meal, lay lazily on the sofa, clutching a pillow as if he were about to fall asleep.

"I see you have plenty of time. Wasn't your group last year losing members one after another Well, will anyone else be leaving this year"

“No more, the few who left before were mainly because they had a way out. After returning to Korea, the company couldn't restrict them, and even if they ran away from court, they wouldn't be able to win. They would still have to split the money with the company in the end...xo The rest of the people, besides me, are all members from the Peninsula. If they break their contract and run away, it will be very easy for them to be s-banned in the Peninsula music industry, just like those members of TVXQ...”

For this point, Qi Jingyuan actually sees it quite clearly: “Moreover, the company has already given EXO a lot of resources. Besides group resources, each member has also been given a lot of individual opportunities in variety shows, advertising, fashion, musicals, and television dramas. Without comparing to other companies, even within ** Entertainment, compared to others, EXO is already considered quite happy.”

But I saw that the online reviews about your group weren't very good. People were saying things like, "so many people left, this group doesn't have any hope of reaching the top or going further."

It seems that Ji Jingxu has been paying attention to the current situation of EXO. He jokingly said with a touch of concern, "Is there anything else to say this year"

"Are you still free to watch these online"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at his second brother in surprise, snorted softly and gave a confident snap of his fingers: "Wait and see this year."

"Hmph... don't get me waiting for hours then have a few of you guys back out, and exo just disbands..." Seeing his younger brother so smug and confident, he felt a little annoyed, snorting and letting out a curse. Afterward, Ji Kyeong-seok proactively stood up and kicked Ji Kyeong-won's leg: "Let's go see the garage."

"Hmm…" Hearing this, Ji Jingyuan sighed and stood up, following his second older brother towards the underground garage.

This is also the main reason for his return home this time. Now that he has his driver's license, he might as well get a car to drive himself. His family already has quite a few cars, and last year on his birthday, his family even bought him several as gifts, but he never had the chance to drive them.

Walking into the underground garage, Chi Jingyuan immediately saw a dozen or so cars neatly arranged opposite him. Six on the left were all exaggerated in style and brightly colored supercars. The few arrogant car logos on their fronts and ultra-low chassis made it clear that they were expensive and not something ordinary people could afford to drive. While the few on the right were also very good, they seemed relatively ordinary in comparison.

"You didn't say before that you were an artist and wouldn't drive something too expensive, and your personality isn't flashy or extravagant... Well, these are all specially prepared for you..."

Ji Jing-seok noticed his younger brother's gaze and smiled contentedly. He walked in front, pointing to a few cars on the right and began introducing them: "These are mid-to-high-end sedans worth hundreds of millions of won. They are all top-of-the-line models in their respective styles and types. Even if celebrities drove them out, there would be absolutely no problem."

"You seem to know me quite well." Chi Jingyuan laughed, walked closer and took a good look.

Many people on the peninsula both yearn for wealth and harbor resentment and jealousy towards it. For celebrities, driving excessively expensive cars can easily have a negative impact.

However, to be honest, this is just one aspect. The main reason is still because of Ji Jingyuan's own personality. Even though the price is not a problem for him, he is still a little reserved when it comes to driving. He wouldn't do something like driving a tens of billions supercar on the street, revving the engine loudly to attract everyone's attention.

And he thought this was both stupid and lame.

A few hundred million is just right, not too expensive and the level is good enough... A little higher would also be okay.

Most EXO members' cars cost between tens of millions and hundreds of millions of won. Although they have only debuted for two years, their share isn't that much yet. However, if there is a second tour this year, the revenue and shares from two consecutive tours will immediately fill the EXO members' pockets.

Besides tao who has already left, it seems like tao's family is quite wealthy. He bought the latest Maserati last year and showed off to the members, which also caused a stir among fans.

As Pool Jingyuan walked closer, Second Brother began to explain simply: "These are all coupe sports cars. Over there is a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, the 2014 model..."

This series focuses on the gullwing doors, which is a model I quite like. However, it might be a bit flashy for you. If you like this brand, they showcased several new models in the AG series at last year's Paris Motor Show. They will be available this May, and I'll buy you two then. While this one isn't particularly luxurious, it's definitely enough for picking up girls or going on dates. Oh, speaking of which...

"No, thank you. Don't ask." Before Second Brother could even get started, Ji Jingyuan spoke up directly, cutting him off. He didn't need to look to know what the other person was going to ask next.

“How come I saw you online a while ago with the captain of some new girl group from your company, Pei something…”, Mentioning his brother's love life piqued Ji-seok’s interest. He clearly had looked her up online and immediately called out Bae Joo-hyeon’s background, though he seemed to have forgotten her full name.

But Chi Jingyuan didn't seem interested in responding at all. Seeing his younger brother's reluctance to talk, Chi Jingxu scoffed and added a sentence before continuing, "That one is a Porsche."

paragraph

"This 2014 model is a bit cheaper than the previous Mercedes-Benz, but I'm not really a fan of this design... The last two are Hyundai, even lower priced. You can have a look yourself, I'm too lazy to describe them."

"As for those over there..." As he said this, Ji Jingxu pointed to several flashy, brightly colored supercars parked on the left: "Those were from when I used to play cars with my friends. They're all top-of-the-line models; some are even modified. They really are quite showy, aren't they I guess I've outgrown that phase and don't bother driving them anymore. If you like them, feel free to take one... though I doubt you'd be interested."

"Keep this for your son to drive." Ji Jingyuan glanced a few times, looking at the flashy colors and coatings of those supercars, their low ground clearance and added spoilers. He curled his lips and turned away.

He now looks like a mature group executive, but he has heard how wild his older brother was when he was young. Compared to him, he seems like a well-behaved child who never caused any trouble.

“Why are you always so low-key I think you should find an opportunity, like appearing on a variety show or giving an interview, to reveal your family background a little bit. You don't have to say too much, just let ordinary people and your fans know that you come from a wealthy family, so they can be mentally prepared. That way, you can avoid any trouble in the future.”

Second Brother saw Chi Jingxu circling for a while, some hesitation picked for a long time, hands clasped across his chest leaning against the wall beside him, smacked his mouth and offered a suggestion.

Chi Jingyuan actually had the same idea, and he didn't refute it. He simply nodded in agreement: "Let's try it when we get the chance."

Although the background may not be as deep as Chi Jingyuan's family, there are actually quite a few wealthy second-generation artists in the entertainment industry. He knows several just off the top of his head.

This kind of background, which is not too exaggerated, will not have a negative effect, but will make their fans and passersby talk about it. In some way, it will also make others look at them with admiration, making it easier for them to do things.

If there are opportunities for this type of variety show or interview in the future, or even a small exposure opportunity, he is quite interested in trying it out.

That's it.

After looking at it for a while, Chi Jingyuan walked to the front of the white Mercedes-Benz and stood still. Chi Jingxu glanced at it twice, then opened the keychain he had been carrying in his hand, flipped through it a couple of times, picked up a car key, weighed it in his hand, and threw it over to Chi Jingyuan.

Steadily catching it, Chi Jingyuan pressed the car door open and sat in directly, starting the car and driving out of the garage. He drove a few circles around the road surrounding the villa.

When learning to drive, the feeling of driving an instructor's car is completely different. Whether it's the acceleration pushback when you press the accelerator or the unique smell coming from the brand new interior, Chi Jingyuan felt a bit excited. This feeling of driving by yourself is indeed a little addictive. Although he could lie down and play on his phone in the back seat of the nanny car every day, he was actually getting a bit tired of it.

"Just this one for now." After making two circles, Chi Jingyuan drove back into the garage. He got out of the car and stretched his body.

"Just drive back directly, if you want to change the lining, just call the 4S shop or ask your assistant to handle it. Just park the other cars here, come back and drive them away when you're done playing." Seeing his younger brother so excited, Ji Jingxu also smiled, feeling pretty good: "Do you guys have parking space in your dormitory"

"Yes, quite a few....And we're moving dorms soon."

After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan looked at his watch and realized it was getting late. He went back to the living room, picked up his bag, and then went to the garage to start his car and prepare to leave.

"When you get a girlfriend, remember to take her out for a drive…" Ji Jingxu waved goodbye with a chuckle.

“池景源 grinned, stuck his hand out the window and gave a thumbs-down. He slammed on the gas and disappeared in a flash.”

Watching his younger brother's arrogant gesture and the disappearing car in the background, Ji Jingxu twitched his lips, but a smile played on his face as he shook his head.

"You little brat…"
