At this time, Tang Jinyan, Song Ji-hyo, and Jung Eun-thi were happily watching the second episode of "Please Answer 1997".
"What the f * ck, why is there breast touching?
It's only a matter of time before we can watch AV on TV! "
"I didn't touch that at all!" Jung Eun-thi was angry. "Didn't I tell you not to watch it!"
"Hmph … I want to see how you film that kissing scene!"
"It's just a misplacement, what's there to see?"
"Then I'll touch your chest first!"
Tang Jinyan put his hand into her clothes. "Luckily it's flat, or else it wouldn't be easy to film that scene …"
"Tang Jinyan, I'll bite you to death!" Jung Eun-thi angrily bit down, while Song Ji-hyo couldn't help but laugh.
Just as the three of them were laughing and joking, Tang Jinyan's phone suddenly rang.
"Tsk …" Tang Jinyan helplessly withdrew his hand from Jung Eun-thi's chest and took a look at the phone. It was Baek Chang-soo.
"Eh?"
Tang Jinyan and Song Ji-hyo both exclaimed in unison. If Baek Chang-soo called at this time, it must be something important.
Could it be that the new village sent out some unforeseen events?
Song Ji-hyo tacitly lowered the volume of the TV, and Tang Jinyan picked up the phone.
"Lao Jiu, you've mentioned T-ara to me before, right? What's your relationship with him?"
"He's my friend, the very hardcore kind."
"In that case …" Baek Chang-soo said very seriously, "They're probably in trouble.
You have Twitter, right?
Go and check their Tweets. "
Tang Jinyan frowned, got out of bed, and turned on the computer.
A few minutes later, he squeezed out the word "f * ck" from between his teeth, grabbed the phone, and called Park Soyeon.
Park Soyeon had just finished her performance and was resting backstage. She was surprised to receive a call from Tang Jinyan. "What's wrong?"
Tang Jinyan said angrily, "What the f * ck is Twitter doing!
Are you tired of living? "
"No …" Park Soyeon whispered, "The sisters are really angry this time. Everyone was rehearsing, but she went shopping …"
"How did you know she was shopping?"
"It was reported on a Japanese website, someone took pictures."
"Then find out where the so-called Japanese news!" Tang Jinyan angrily hung up the phone. "
Park Suk Yeon had an ominous premonition in her heart. She quickly opened the website she saw in the afternoon and browsed through it. It was blank. There was no so-called shopping report.
There's an's the Japanese's's's's's's time.
"Everyone, hurry up and delete the Tweets!
Things have changed! "Park Soyeon anxiously said and began to delete the post.
Tang Jinyan was no longer in the mood to watch TV. He called Long Ya. "What's the situation with T-ara?"
Long Ya said, "The sisters are angry that Liu Huaying went for a manicure and shopping at that time …"
"I'm asking why the Japanese news is gone!"
"It's Aihui's company," Long Ya said cautiously.
"Aihui's company is a shareholder of S * M, and both parties share the same shares. They work closely together."
"S * M, f * ck them!" Tang Jinyan cursed angrily, and asked, "Do you have any screenshots of the Japanese news?"
"The industry is very sensitive to this kind of thing. Most of the news agencies have taken screenshots immediately. Our D Society is the same.
But … "
"But what?"
"There's political interference. They don't allow us to publish."
Tang Jinyan's breathing became heavy. The aftereffects of Ren Taixi's incident had finally erupted.
He thought for a while, and said decisively, "Tell D Society to publish it directly!
This is our agreement. When I need help from D Society, they have to cooperate! "
"Yes."
After hanging up, Tang Jinyan turned around. The TV series had already played the ending song.
He scratched his head apologetically. "Uh, Eun-thi, I'm sorry. This is very important …"
Jun Eun-thi pursed her lips, and then smiled. "It's okay.
I … didn't want you to watch it. "
On this day, the viewership ratings for the second episode of "Please Answer 1997" broke through the 3% mark. For a pay-cable television station, it could be considered a trend. Zheng Endi rode the wind and rose rapidly. His popularity soared by more than a few levels.
She was finally famous, and the time for Apink to rise had finally arrived.
But she only sighed in her heart.
*****
26th July. It was peaceful. There were no attacks on T-ara on the internet, and the media did not report any news about T-ara. There was no Twitter incident, and no shopping incident. It was as if nothing had happened.
However, Tang Jinyan could not relax. He called Long Ya again. "Why hasn't it been published yet?"
"The board of directors is making a big fuss," Long Ya said helplessly. "After all, we only have 6% of the shares. We can't win."
"Damn Quan Zhengyang. What happened to not putting on a Korean drama in front of the board of directors?"
"Because this matter involves politics, Quan Zhengyang can't do anything. The other board members of D Society are against it. He can't do anything about it."
"Damn it … Ren Taixi's side is not doing anything at all?"
"No … Actually, for many people, they don't even realize the seriousness of this matter. After all, nothing has happened.
I've contacted Ren Taixi's people, and they don't care. "
"Stupid bureaucrats!" Tang Jinyan angrily slammed his phone on the table.
*****
27th July. T-ara returned to China to participate in KBS Music Bank's chart hit stage.
Liu Huaying refused to go on stage again. "Tweet again if you dare!"
T-ara's sisters were speechless. Their expressions were ugly.
Park Guihan advised, "The music bank's situation is more complicated. KBS is a national channel after all. There are too many rules. Our prior agreement was that all of our members would be on the show. It will be troublesome if we are absent."
"I don't care. You go and coordinate!
Otherwise, what's the point of having you as a manager! "
Park Guihan tried to persuade her. "You haven't redistributed the lyrics for 'Day by Day.' If you let Hyomin and Eun-kyung take over at the last minute, things will go wrong."
Liu Huaying threw her crutches on the floor. "Park Guihan, who do you think you are?!
Do you need to teach me a lesson? "
Park Guihan's fat face turned the color of pig liver. He angrily left to report to the president, Kim Kwang-soo.
Kim Kwang-soo rushed over anxiously. "What happened?
That's just a foot injury. People who don't know might think you're f * cking broken! "
Liu Huaying snorted coldly. "What's a criticism from the TV station? You're scolding me because of that!"
Kim Kwang-soo was so angry that his lips were trembling. "Is that all I'm scolding you?
Did you forget what I told you before? "
"Anyway, I didn't go to the concert in Japan. So what if I don't go this time? How much of an impact can it have?"
"F * cking hell … I've ordered time and time again. Since the beginning of the year, how many public statements have I made to put an end to lazy behavior in the team?
The whole of Korea is f * cking watching. Are you publicly slapping me in the face? "
Liu Huaying also lost her temper. She shouted, "Fire me if you can!"
"Fine, fine, fine …" Kim Kwang-soo was so angry that he laughed. "If you don't go on stage this time, don't go on stage in the future!"
Liu Huaying left without looking back.
On the same day, Liu Huaying was absent from the KBS Music Bank stage. The rap part of "Day by Day" was temporarily shared by Pu Hyomin and Han Eun-kyung. Unsurprisingly, there were coordination mistakes on stage.
The voting score of the "Day by Day" stage plummeted. It was getting further and further away from the first place, and finally out of reach.
KBS issued a reprimand, severely criticizing the absence of CCM's performers and their violation of the performance agreement.
Kim Kwang-soo's face was livid. He didn't say a word.
At the same time, Liu Huaying went home and took a picture with her sister Liu Xiaoying holding hands. She posted it on Twitter. "Only my sister is always by my side. Thank you, I love you!"
As soon as the tweet came out, the Internet began to have its first suspicion. "What's going on?
She didn't go on the Music Bank stage, but went home and posted this? "
"Could it be that she's being ostracized?"
"No way, their relationship has always been very good …"
Immediately, someone took the opportunity to post a screenshot. "This is a screenshot of their tweets two days ago. Take a look …"
"The difference in willpower?
This … "
"In addition to Juli, the five people collectively said this?"
"No way, are they collectively saying that Hua Ying has no willpower and refuses to go on stage?"
"It looks like it."
"Her leg is injured. Do they have to force her to go on stage?
This is simply bullying! "
The netizens who didn't know the truth left messages to support and encourage Liu Huaying. "Everyone is supporting you. You don't only have your sister."
"It's time."
In countless companies, there were chuckles. "Contact Liu Huaying. Hasn't she always wanted to be an actress?
We'll give her resources. "
