Chapter Ninety-Four: If They Really Want to Fire You Squid

"Children, don't be bored, eat and eat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

This is the fourth day in a row that he has personally paid for the takeaway, and even if he has a copyright fee income last year, it is still a very heavy burden for Wang Nanqian to pay for the meals of twelve people - but he has no choice but to endure the pain in his flesh and use this kind of behavior that may not have any effect to do his part.

In order to return after a year and two months, how much effort and effort the members of EXO have put in, Wang Nanqian, as one of them, knows best, but in the last month of their return, they slept directly in the practice room almost every two days: so much so that the cleaning staff in the company protested against their behavior.

But even with all their might, they failed to gain anything.

Not to mention a trophy on the singing stage, after a series of rounds on various TV stations in the second week, they didn't even get a single alternate spot - even though the two agents, Lim Hyun Kyun and Lee Seung-hwan, kept encouraging them to tell them that the album sales were much better than the company expected, but the dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads still did not dissipate.

After the last performance on the singing stage of the second week after his return, the twelve older boys had almost used the practice room as their dormitory - because they spent nearly 20 hours a day practicing, and in just four days of work, Zhang Yixing's back pain had flare-ups three times, Kim Jong-in's ankle was also wearing protective gear, and even Wang Nanqian, who didn't need to stand at the front to perform in the choreography, had her own knee strike because of long fatigue.

Even if you dance the whole dance of the wolf song, you can't find a single mistake, but no one stops - in fact, everyone knows very well in their hearts that if they continue to practice like this, their bodies may collapse completely, but everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering.

No matter how well the album sells, as long as it doesn't get a trophy on the singing stage, it will be tantamount to failure for EXO, a group that has high hopes both inside and outside the company.

There are only two weeks left, and they are not even an alternate, can they get one?

What will the future of this group be like if they don't get one, and what will be the fate of each of their members? No one dares to bring up the topic in the practice room anymore -- but not saying it doesn't mean that they don't think about it.

With this kind of nervous mood, and the body is in a state of extreme fatigue, in the past two days of various promotional trips, the members of EXO all seemed absent-minded - when doing a radio interview show, Wu Yifan actually ignored the other party because he was stunned when he was questioned by the host, until Wu Shixun, who was sitting next to him, pushed his arm against him, and then realized that he was recording the show.

If the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult for the team to lead - although this sentence is a bit crude, the truth is real.

If it had been a few months ago, a group of big boys would have been noisy in the practice room during this kind of meal - but now, even if the takeout ordered by Wang Nanqian was the members' favorite spicy fried noodles, none of the guys sitting in the practice room had changed.

"Kids, get moving, it's only two days before our first one, don't break your body before that. ”

While encouraging those younger brothers, he sighed silently in his heart - Wang Nanqian put the two large plastic bags containing fried noodles on the floor, took out a box from them, and then helped his knees that were still a little painful to sit on the sofa in his own position.

At this time, he didn't know what he could do anymore, but at least in his mouth, he had to convey some positive energy to other people.

"Don't let the jajangmyeon cool...... Does anyone want Coke? Sweet and spicy turnips?"

Although he had no appetite at all, Jin Junmian, who was the captain of this group, had to lead by example and act first - he originally wanted to help Wang Nanqian share part of the cost of ordering takeout, but the brother refused him with something like 'If you can't get one, you will ask for takeout, it is my promise to everyone', so all Jin Junmian can do is help distribute the lunch box.

"How much money have you spent these days, brother?

Holding a box of fried sauce noodles to Wang Nanqian's side, and did not rush to put down the chopsticks, Lu Han asked softly in Chinese - after knowing this brother for so many years, what he admires most about Wang Nanqian is that no matter how bad the situation is, this brother can always maintain an optimistic attitude, even if it is only optimistic on the surface.

“…… Huh? It's okay...... What are you talking about?"

Because he had just used chopsticks to put a piece of fried noodles into his mouth, when answering Lu Han's question, Wang Nanqian's mouth also became unfavorable.

"Yixing came to me last night and discussed with me about making up the money for takeout these days and returning it to my brother. ”

“…… Yixing, he still has this heart?"

Among the other three Chinese members of the group, compared to Lu Han and Wu Yifan, Zhang Yixing, who always likes to keep his thoughts in his heart, is relatively more distant from him - at this moment, Wang Nanqian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Lu Han mention such a thing.

"We've known each other for so many years, who still doesn't know who's background? Brother, your family is not very rich, we have eaten you for so many days, of course I feel embarrassed. ”

"Okay, okay, if you really have this heart, when we get one, you can just treat me to a good meal...... How about the western restaurant next to the company?"

pouted at Lu Han, and picked up a large lump of fried noodles from the lunch box, and Wang Nanqian delivered it to his mouth without hesitation.

In normal times, he would never stuff his stomach with food like jajangmyeon without scruples like he does now—but the amount of practice these days is too much, and if he doesn't consume these carbohydrates, he is really afraid that his body will not be able to support it, so he has to relax his body management a little.

“…… Brother, you tell me the truth, do you really think...... Can we get one this time?"

Except for this brother, almost everyone else stopped mentioning the sensitive word of one, and I don't know if he really has confidence, or if he really has a big heart - Lu Han lowered his head and fiddled with the fried noodles in the lunch box with his chopsticks, feeling that his heart was like those noodles, stirred together.

“…… Doesn't it mean that the sales are very good, and the results of the music source seem to be very good, at least in this regard, there should be a certain score guarantee, right?"

When facing the few Chinese members who had the best relationship with him, Wang Nanqian was no longer easy to prevaricate with those big words and empty words that he had no bottom of, so he buried his head and lowered his voice a lot.

"Original...... Brother, you also think that we probably won't be able to get one......"

has known each other for so many years, and they have always lived together, and when they heard the words full of uncertainty, Lu Han immediately figured out the other party's true thoughts.

"I didn't say that, I always thought we could ......"

"If the results are not good this time, and the next title song does not sell well, maybe we will not be together. ”

He was about to refute Lu Han's pessimistic argument of "distorting" his original intentions, but Wang Nanqian had barely opened his mouth when a tall guy sat down between him and Lu Han - this sudden attack almost knocked the fried noodles in his hand to the ground.

"If you spill it on the couch, you'll be scolded by the cleaner for a day and a night...... Wait a minute, what did you just say?"

"I said, if our grades are really bad, maybe we won't be together. ”

Tsai carefully observed the expression of the guy who was forcibly squeezed between him and Lu Han, and found that this person didn't mean to joke at all, Wang Nanqian frowned suddenly, and even his voice became serious when he spoke again.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Haven't you heard? If we can't get a place on the singing stage, maybe the company will adjust our group...... Since it's an adjustment, someone is coming and someone is leaving, maybe a guy like Kyu-hyun's predecessor will come in and cheer up the popularity, and if it's not good, someone will leave......"

"What nonsense are you talking about? When have you ever seen a company break up a group of seniors?"

Listening to the more the guy talked, Wang Nanqian couldn't help but turn his head and interrupt the other party's words - at least during the contract period, S.M. had never done that kind of thing to drive a member out of the team.

As far as the magical Kim Jae-jung of the East back then, and as close as Choi Min-ho of Shinye, even if there was a vigorous noise outside, these two people stood tall in the group.

Wang Nanqian also knew that there were indeed some inexplicable rumors in the company recently, and he didn't know where they came from, but he didn't believe them at all - but now it seemed that the other people in the group didn't all have the same idea as him.

"Brother, you are so popular, not only in China, but also a trendy artist here, of course the company will not treat you well...... But foreign members like me and Yixing, that's not good......"

"You don't have to say a word, don't make trouble, okay?"

This time, the one who interrupted the guy sitting in the middle became Lu Han sitting on the other side.

“…… Actually, I don't want to believe it...... But I ......"

The person sitting in the middle finally became embarrassed - looking at the lonely expression on Wu Yifan's face, Wang Nanqian couldn't help sighing, he also experienced the frustration of being removed from the shelves and frozen by the company before his debut, so naturally he could understand the other party's mood at this time.

When people are lonely, they are indeed prone to cranky thoughts, and when they think about it, they are easy to get into the tip of the horns.

"Okay, okay, it's impossible for the company to do such a thing......"

"Who knows......"

"Don't worry about the impossible, right? If they really want to fire you, then I'll resign with you, are you relieved?"

Putting a chopstick fried sauce noodle into his mouth again, he patted Wu Yifan's shoulder, and blocked the sad brother's words in a joking tone - Wang Nanqian felt that this guy was just a little broken down because of too much pressure, as long as he survived this difficult time, he would naturally stop thinking nonsense.

Hearing Wang Nanqian release such "cruel words", Lu Han, who was sitting on the other side, also flattened his mouth and comforted Wu Yifan:

"If you're still not at ease, then I'll resign with both of you once, so it's okay, right?" )
