Chapter 113: Night (Part 1)
"Sister, I'm telling the truth!" Zheng Xiujing's lively eyes darted back and forth, her mouth slightly pouting as she spoke.
"It's already this late, which restaurant would still be open?" Song Qi looked at the time and said with a disbelieving face.
A few people still wearing their stage costumes were at the entrance of MBC TV station, gathered together and started chattering.
FX's manager, Park Jae-ho, stood not far away with other managers and assistants, quietly watching them play. He had already received a call from Kim Yong-nam before and knew what he should do.
"Ah! Little guy, sister is asking you who you were just talking to on the phone and what did you say?! Don't change the subject!" Amber suddenly frowned, reached out and grabbed Zheng Xiujing's arm, shouting loudly.
Although it was already approaching 1 am, there were still many people entering and exiting the TV station. The original FX members gathering together to chat and laugh had already drawn a lot of attention, but Amber's loud shout caused even more eyes to turn towards them.
Feeling the gaze of people around her, Amber awkwardly stuck out her tongue and let go of Jung's arm.
Song Qian patted her hand and said softly, "Alright, let's head back to the car and chat some more. It's getting a bit chilly." Amber and the others nodded in agreement, still wearing their stage outfits, which made them feel cold at this hour. The group quickly left the TV station and got into their van.
Their agents and assistants also got into their respective cars one after another.
"Come on, Xiaoshui!" Song Qi and the others were curious to death. Park Jae-ho, sitting in the passenger seat, quietly flipped through his phone, occasionally glancing up at the rearview mirror.
Song Qian and others are completely unafraid to mention their agent because when this new agent first met them, he clearly said "I'm only responsible for your work-related matters. As for your personal emotional affairs, I don't care about them, everything is up to you to decide. You've all debuted for more than 5 years already, as long as you're not exposed before the age of 25, that's fine. This is the company's decision!"
After repeatedly confirming that Park Jae-ho was telling the truth, several girls were overjoyed. For artists, the most luxurious thing is emotions, and what hinders emotions the most is economic companies. Just one sentence 'Do you want emotions or career' can make artists bow their heads obediently.
After getting a clear answer, everyone was overjoyed. This is also the reason why Song Qian and others were only surprised but not worried when Gao Yang sent Zheng Xiujing back to the dormitory last time.
"Xiao Shuijing, hurry up and tell us what's going on?" Song Qian asked as soon as the car door closed, while Xue Li and others also stared at Zheng Xiujing with piercing eyes. When a woman's gossip fire is burning fiercely, it can be terrifying.
Jung Soo-jung clutched Song Qian's arm and shook it slightly, coquettishly saying "Sister!" The sisters all looked at her with a smile.
Jung Soo-jung pouted and slightly furrowed her brow, letting out a light sigh as she told them about what Gao Yang had said earlier about being stuck in traffic and being late.
"Ah! How long have you been dating? You're already lying?" Amber said with a furious face.
Song Qing and Lu Na also spoke out to blame Gao Yang. At this time, Xue Li, who had been quiet since getting on the car, suddenly said "Xiao Shui Jing, didn't you say you would treat us to a midnight snack?"
The car suddenly fell silent. Lu Na shouted at Xue Li, "Ah, you only think about eating!" Song Qian and others also opened their mouths to complain.
Sheri shrank her body slightly, pouting and said "I'm really hungry, my little belly is growling!"
"Haha, let me check!" Luna burst into a strange laugh and pounced on Sherry's body, her hands wandering all over her. Amber and the others also laughed and pounced, and soon they were all tangled up together.
Don't be fooled by Zheng Xiujing's usual cold and unapproachable expression in front of the camera, she is actually a very clingy person, especially to those close to her. Of course, only those close to her can see her playful side.
Park Jae-ho, sitting in the passenger seat, withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror. He slightly lowered his head and played with his phone.
He was personally recruited by Kim Yong-man to be the chief economist of FX, and he is Kim Yong-man's senior at Seoul University. His previous job was not very satisfactory. Recently, Kim Yong-man found him and offered him a job with such good treatment that it was hard to refuse!
He was well aware that Jeong Soo-jung was the girlfriend of his boss's boss! Being an FX broker was just a side job, his main job was to take care of and protect Jeong Soo-jung. Help her build a safe protective net, block all gray things outside!
Several people were wearing stage clothes, shorts and t-shirts. Their white thighs and arms would occasionally reveal a flash of spring light while playing around, making it unbearable for the agent to look at them anymore.
After the commotion died down, several people caught their breath and temporarily calmed down. After a while, Amber, who had regained her composure, smiled lightly and asked, "Xing Su, why hasn't your man arrived yet?"
"Sister! What are you talking about? We're just friends!" Zheng Xiujing's cheeks flushed with two red clouds, and she called out in embarrassment.
"Oh~~~ It turns out it hasn't even reached our mouths yet!" Luna and several others cried out in unison.
Jung Joo-yeon's face was flushed with redness as she let out a mournful cry. Weakly, she lowered her head and collapsed onto the back seat.
"Alright, stop it. Little Crystal, why hasn't your boyfriend arrived yet?" Song Qi looked at Zheng Xiujing as if she was really getting angry and hastily changed the subject.
"I don't know either, he sent me a text message earlier saying that before my notice period ends, he would be waiting for me nearby to go have supper together." Zheng Xiujing said with a slight pout, leaning on the back of her chair.
"Ah~~this is really unbelievable!" said Rona, who was still lying on top of Shirley.
"Sister! Get up quickly!" Sherry pushed Luna up with all her might, sat up and said with a slightly dissatisfied expression, "Xue Na, you and your boyfriend had a midnight snack date, why did you say you'd treat us to dinner? Now I'm starving."
"Hmph! Not only is he late, but he's also lying! I'm angry! Let him invite my sisters to have a midnight snack together, and they'll help me take a good look at him." Zheng Xiujing sat up straight, her arms crossed in front of her chest, pouting slightly as she spoke.
"Isn't this bad? We don't know each other." Song Qi asked softly.
In Korea, inviting guests to dinner is a very formal matter. People in this country attach great importance to their own face, sometimes even more important than life, and many people would rather choose to commit suicide than live without honor. Even asking someone to have a drink is considered a very formal invitation!
They didn't know Gao Yang at all, and it was a very abrupt thing for them to ask him out for dinner on their first formal meeting.
"It's okay. Sister, if you're not even willing to do something like this..." Zheng Xiujing slightly narrowed her eyes. After all, she was born in the United States and wasn't too concerned about Korea's treating system. Moreover, Gao Yang wasn't Korean either.
Just then, Zheng Xiujing's phone suddenly rang. She picked it up with a puffed-up face "Is there a signal on the mobile?"
"...". The words of Gao Yang on the other end of the phone were swallowed back before they could be spoken, his face a picture of embarrassment.
"Where's oppa?" Showing a bit of anger is okay, but don't overdo it. Jung Soo-jung quickly regained her composure.
"Hang up the phone, Zheng Xiujing said to Park Jae-ho in the front row, 'Uncle Park! Please go to the parking lot ahead!'"
Park Jae-ho smiled helplessly, he's already over 30 this year and his kids are in elementary school. Being called "uncle" is also to be expected. It's just that no matter what man shouldn't like being called that by a young girl?
Park Jae-ho nodded at the driver and the van started moving towards a nearby outdoor parking lot.
"Haha~" Song Qian and the others all burst out laughing. The tone of voice when she just answered the phone made Song Qian and the others feel like the little guy was really angry. But soon her tone softened, and now she's even taking the initiative to find him.
Watching her sisters' teasing glances, Zheng Xiujing felt ashamed and thought to herself "It's all your fault!"
"Ah-choo!" Not far away, in the BMW, Gao Yang suddenly let out a sneeze. "Strange, I didn't turn on the air conditioner?" Gao Yang rubbed his nose and thought to himself with some confusion.
Before he could think of anything else, a Mercedes-Benz minivan came over from the front. Gaoyang was already very familiar with this car.
The minivan soon stopped nearby, the door opened, and Zheng Xiujing, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, came running over.
Gao Yang hastily opened the car door and welcomed her in. "Why are you wearing so little? It's very cold at night." Gao Yang said with concern.
Jung Soo-jung looked at Gao Yang with a smile and pouted slightly, saying "Because I was waiting for you!"
A simple sentence made Gao Yang's mood suddenly much better, who was originally dissatisfied with his own decision due to Yuan Zhong's interference.
"Hmm?" Not getting a response, Zheng Xiujing, who was slightly wrinkling her nose and about to say something else, suddenly saw Gao Yang stretching his head over.
"Ah~" She had barely opened her mouth to speak when Gao Yang's lips covered hers. His passion was tinged with a hint of dominance! It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Zheng Xiujing gently closed her eyes and began to respond to Gao Yang's ardor.
Gao Yang stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Zheng Xiujing's shoulder, gently pulling her into his embrace. His other hand lightly stroked her hair.
Gao Yang's hug grew tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to squeeze Zheng Xiujing into his body. Zheng Xiujing closed her eyes lightly, a low hum of discontent escaping from her nose. The car seemed to be filled with a pinkish ambiguous atmosphere that was slowly flowing.
Originally with a dazed expression, Zheng Xiujing suddenly opened her big eyes and struggled out of Gao Yang's arms!
"Hmm?" Just when the atmosphere was getting thick, he was interrupted. Gao Yang hummed slightly discontentedly. Looking at Zheng Xiujing's face in front of him, her cheeks were red as if they were about to bleed. She lowered her head deeply, as if she wanted to bury her head in her chest. He couldn't help but ask strangely, "What's wrong?"
"Ah~" Zheng Xiujing wailed and muttered "Sisters are all watching!"
"Huh?" Gao Yang, who hadn't reacted yet, scratched his head with his hand and suddenly turned to look out the car window.
Not far away, Zheng Xiujing got out of the minivan and the door hadn't closed yet! Several heads were squeezed together, looking at her with shocked faces!
