Everyone in the country was paying close attention to the inauguration of the President. Almost everyone who was free was watching TV.
This included Girls' Generation and Apink.
Xu Xian held a glass of juice and leaned back on the sofa, watching T-ara's dance on TV. She had a peaceful smile on her face.
Lin Yuner sat to the side, eating oranges. Her cheeks were stuffed with food.
When T-ara's performance ended, Xu Xian said, "Oni might attract haters. The haters nowadays don't care about your performance. They'll talk after they've scolded you."
Lin Yuner ate without a care. "We've been scolded for so many years. Everyone's used to it.
The increase in Nationals Points is simply explosive. Who cares about that little bit of blackmail? "
Xu Xian laughed. "Your tone, why do I feel a little jealous?"
"Why would I be jealous of them …" Lin Yuner chuckled. "Everyone knows who I'm jealous of and what it is."
Xu Xian pouted and didn't respond.
Of course, she wasn't jealous of the issue of their popularity. Girls' Generation really didn't care.
What she was jealous of was the image of Tang Jinyan sparing no effort to support his girlfriend.
This was something she couldn't enjoy, because on the surface, she had no relationship with Tang Jinyan.
Lin Yuner said lightly, "Do you really want to continue like this?"
Xu Xian sipped her juice and still didn't say anything.
Lin Yuner laughed. "Forget it, forget it. I don't dare to do anything to obstruct you guys. I don't want to get shot by him."
Xu Xian finally spoke. "He won't shoot you.
You're just … a little afraid to see him. "
Lin Yuner sneered. "I'm afraid to see him?
What a joke … "
Xu Xian said lightly, "Li Shengji came to see you yesterday?"
"So what?"
"I heard that someone mocked Li Shengji. What a waste of a good family background. He can't even compare to someone's toe.
Who is this person? "
"…" Lin Yuner paused for a moment and laughed. "I'm just using him to attack Li Shengji.
Besides, I'm telling the truth. He's getting better and better, and he's becoming more and more attractive to women.
You and Ren Jing unnie might have to consider whether or not there will be other competitors who will forcefully interfere. "
Xu Xian said leisurely, "As long as it's not you, so what if it's someone else?"
Lin Yuner glared at her. Xu Xian continued to drink her juice as if nothing had happened.

Jung Eun-thi lay on the sofa and murmured, "T-ara's seniors have already reached this level …"
Pu Chulong glanced at her. "What do you think?"
"He, he can even affect the inauguration ceremony?"
Jung Eun-thi whispered, "That gangster who hides in the smoky office of the underground nightclub and forces himself on women …"
Pu Chulong glanced at her again. "Is this the image of Tang Jinyan in your heart?"
"Hmm …" Jung Eun-thi scratched her head. "Although I know it's not objective, that's just the first impression …"
Pu Chulong laughed and murmured to herself, "No wonder …"
It turns out that the Tang Jinyan in your eyes is different from the Tang Jinyan in other people's eyes …
So in Tang Jinyan's eyes, you are different from Tang Jinyan's eyes.
"Oni …" Jung Eun-thi hesitated. "You … you don't really like him, do you?"
Pu Chulong smiled. "One more person to accompany you to watch the stars. What do you think?"
Jung Eun-thi's mouth twitched. "No."
"So …" Pu Chulong's gaze fell on the TV calmly. "How can I like him?"
*****
Cheong Wa Dae was remodeled from the original Li Palace of the Goryeo Dynasty. It was newly built during President Roh Tae-woo's administration. It was the president's official residence, which was different from the Parliament building.
Today's schedule was a little long. After the inauguration speech, there was a reception with foreign envoys at the World Sect Cultural Hall in the afternoon. It was still a formal meeting.
At night, there was a banquet at Cheong Wa Dae. The atmosphere was a little more relaxed.
After the banquet, the ceremony was officially over.
Tang Jinyan and T-ara attended the banquet in the evening. They were not qualified to attend the banquet in the afternoon, so they went to Cheong Wa Dae in advance.
Just like what he said to Park Soyeon the other day, it was really for fun.
The periphery of Cheong Wa Dae was originally a tourist attraction. It could be used to receive tourists … Of course, they played a little more high-end than tourists. They went in and out of the main building of Cheong Wa Dae. Although they could not enter the important presidential office and bedroom, Tang Jinyan was still qualified to take them on a tour of the reception hall, conference hall, and lounge.
They followed behind Tang Jinyan and looked around like curious babies. T-ara and the others felt that something was wrong.
Tang Jinyan was too familiar with this place.
He knew where the conference room was, where the reception hall was, and what was the situation of the police room and the reception hall upstairs. He knew everything like the back of his hand. He was better than a tour guide.
When the guards along the way saw him, some of them did not look at him. Some of them even greeted him with a smile. Tang Jinyan also greeted him with a smile, which surprised the girls.
"You … You come here often?"
"Yes," Tang Jinyan smiled casually. "I've been everywhere except the bedroom."
"Including the presidential office?"
"Yes."
"…" The girls looked at each other.
They had seen Tang Jinyan often in the past two months, but they never felt that he was different from before. They did not expect him to be a regular at Cheong Wa Dae …
A triad?
Who would have thought?
"Just reporting on work." Tang Jinyan smiled, revealing his white teeth. "Don't think that I'm flirting with prostitutes."
"Shh!"
Park Soyeon nervously covered his mouth. She looked at the nearby guards in fear. "How dare you say such things!"
"It's just a joke. What's the big deal?"
Tang Jinyan said nonchalantly. "Do you really think that the guards don't have dirty jokes when they're chatting after work?"
"…" Park Soyeon was speechless.
"Actually, there's nothing to see here, right?"
Tang Jinyan stopped at the door of a lounge. "You're all tired today. There's nothing fun in this shabby place. Go take a rest. You'll be refreshed for dinner tonight."
"Well …" Park Soyeon hesitated. "Juli and I will accompany you for a walk outside. Everyone go take a rest."
The girls looked at each other for a while. Han Eun-kyung finally said, "Alright.
We'll take a rest first. "
Tang Jinyan continued to lead Park Soyeon and Li Juli. However, they did not go downstairs. Instead, they continued to go up.
Park Soyeon was surprised. "Where are we going?"
"The top floor."
"What's up …"
"You'll know when you get there."
The top floor of Cheong Wa Dae was named for its green tiles. There was no roof, but there was the highest room, which was also the lounge.
Tang Jinyan stepped into the lounge, pushed open the windows, and stretched lazily in the spring breeze.
Park Soyeon and Li Juli walked to his left and right and accompanied him to admire the scenery outside the window. Both of them exclaimed in amazement, "It's so beautiful …"
Tang Jinyan turned around. His eyes gleamed with a strange light, "I think the two of you are even more beautiful."
The two girls were taken aback, and they took half a step back in unison, "What are you doing?"
"I think it's an interesting experience to do some blasphemous things on top of Daehan's most solemn Cheong Wa Dae …" Tang Jinyan's gaze grew more and more peculiar, "The rules of this country … are nothing more than that."
