"I see that your expression is probably a little calmer, it's already so ugly, it's meaningless for you Ernie to go back to when you were young, and the conflict of interests between the members is not something that you can reconcile with me or someone."

"It's simple, you should understand."

Chi Jingyuan stood by the window in the backstage corridor, looking at the pouring rain outside, and said softly to Zheng Xiujing who was standing next to him.

It's October 4th, and Ike Kei-won and his wife are at the Ajinomoto Stadium in Neon Tokyo, where they will hold two consecutive SMTon family concerts today and tomorrow.

It has been four days since Zheng Xiuyan quit the group, and Ji Jingyuan has not been in contact with Zheng Xiujing since the phone call that night, and after returning to the backstage after rehearsal today, he took the initiative to give her a look and called her out.

Zheng Xiujing leaned against the white wall next to her, pursed her lips and did not speak, her hands intertwined in front of her, staring at the ground with her head down.

It doesn't matter if she listens or not, Ji Jingyuan glanced over there and looked out the window and continued, "Because there is a contract, and under the blockade of SM, Zheng Xiuyan's predecessor's artist career may be a little difficult to maintain on this side of the peninsula, but this is probably not the most important thing for her......

"I asked someone to investigate that fashion brand of your Ernie, and I only started working on it in August, right...... I won't comment on how she did it, I helped her contact a few high-quality cooperative brands and manufacturers, which can make her start a little smoother, but how to do it in the future depends on her specific business ability."

Feeling Zheng Xiujing look up at herself after hearing this, Ji Jingyuan spread his hands at her: "But Jessa's predecessor should have a hand in making several other members unhappy and jealous by what he could do on his own."

Seeing that Zheng Xiujing's eyes flickered a little, she bit her lip and seemed to want to open her mouth to say something, but Chi Jingyuan didn't give her this opportunity, and exhaled lightly and continued: "As for Xiujing, after Zheng Xiuyan's seniors quit, your treatment in the company will definitely not be as good as before, which is also a matter of course...... But don't worry about someone deliberately finding fault or something, I'll let Brother Jae-hyun pay attention to it......

"Okay, that's it, let's go back first, it's about to start."

After finishing speaking, Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, smacked his lips and glanced at Zheng Xiujing, beckoned, changed his hand, and walked directly in the direction of the backstage lounge.

Although Zheng Xiujing didn't speak all the time, she could probably guess what Chi Jingyuan was thinking in her heart.

"You ......"

Zheng Xiujing opened her mouth to say something, but as soon as she spoke, she saw Chi Jingyuan with her back to him raised her right hand and waved it casually, her complex emotions could only be held back in her chest.

There was some emotion in her heart, but also a little empty, and after hesitating for a while, she quickly followed.

Pushing open the door, the two of them returned to the large lounge, and basically half of the SM artists who participated in this time were there, in addition to them, there were also their respective assistants and agents, each of whom got together and whispered something.

Ji Jingyuan glanced at it and walked directly in the direction of EXO.

He didn't notice that as soon as he pushed open the door and walked in, Pei Zhuhyun, who was sitting on the side of the redvelvet, seemed to have been waiting for him, and as soon as he saw him come in, his eyes immediately followed, watching him and Zheng Xiujing walk into the lounge one after the other, and his eyes followed Ji Jingyuan until he sat down, and Tong Kong was mixed with inexplicable emotions and meanings.

After seeing Ji Jingyuan come back, Du Junxiu and Wu Shixun moved over there twice to make a place for him to come out, and Ji Jingyuan sat down and leaned comfortably on the back of the soft sofa and exhaled.

At this moment, several members of the team were complaining about the weather.

"It's raining so heavily, and when you look out of the window, it's a bit of a lake, how can you perform in this weather." Park Chanyeol looked at the window for a day and said with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't know what's going on with such heavy rain today."

"It's nothing, it's fine when it rains

Do you remember those outdoor stages at the end of 12 years? It's not much more uncomfortable to dance outside in a single dress several times below zero."

"Yes."

"I remember, I almost froze to death.

What Bian Boxian said resonated with several members, and Chi Jingyuan's impression was also very deep.

It was at the end of the year they first debuted, and it was freezing in winter, because the temperature was too low, and the white gas produced by breathing was very conspicuous, and they felt cold outside wrapped in a thick cotton jacket.

But EXO can only dance on it in a thin leather jacket and slacks because of the stage performance, Chi Jingyuan remembers that he was about to freeze at that time, even if he danced fiercely, his hands and feet were cold and unconscious, and when he finally hurried back to get dressed and warm up after dancing, the host still pulled them to talk nonsense and beep a lot, and he was so angry that he really wanted to kick the MC who didn't have any eyes at all.

However, the suffering experience at that time is still quite interesting in retrospect, and when it comes to some of the tragic situations of EXO, several members have some memories for a while.

"Although it's raining, it's nothing, the main thing is that the ground on the stage should be very slippery, or don't do somersaults today, it's too dangerous." Jin Junmian thought for a moment and looked at Tao and made a suggestion.

"It's fine." Tao smiled and waved his hand, patted his chest with a look of iron bones: "Don't worry, I'm a professional in somersaults."

A few people chatted quietly, and their interest was quite good, and they were not affected by the poor overall atmosphere of the entire backstage.

The atmosphere of SMton today is not very good, because the Girls' Generation company has been a little anxious in the past two days, and even some other combinations have not been able to get any benefits, including EXO, many people have been squatted by reporters to try to interview, digging out some of the inside story of Zheng Xiuyan's withdrawal from the group.

After 930, SM's stock price immediately fell, falling by nearly five percent in the first few hours of trading, and has been fluctuating repeatedly in the past few days, not much but still falling.

Although the stock price has fallen as much as Luhan's time, after all, EXO has replaced Girls' Generation as the latest cash cow, but the previous crash has not eased. This time it was hit hard, which really made SM's shareholders a little unable to bear this kind of loss.

After the fermentation of the past few days, the public opinion of this incident has basically had an obvious wind direction, and Zheng Xiuyan, who quit the group, has assumed the main responsibility to a certain extent.

The rights and wrongs of specific things and the process of ordinary people do not understand, but Peninsula, as the base camp of SM, must be handy in controlling the direction of public opinion, and an idol certainly cannot be SM's opponent.

In addition to various statements and material guidance, some other media have also done a lot of special reports on this matter that everyone is concerned about in the past two days, such as breaking up a lot of romances in Girls' Generation, and the notorious Dispah also did an interview with "D Agency 18 Questions".

They interviewed several Zheng Xiuyan who did not want to be named, as well as the "related people" around the members of Girls' Generation, and the interview revealed that Zheng Xiuyan quit the group because she had already withdrawn twice and had a romantic partner planning to get married.

For most KPOP fans, the most hated thing is idol romance, this kind of thing is so serious that it abounds, and the girl group is sometimes affected more than the boy group.

Influenced by the interview of D Society, "selfishly developing her own career, wanting to marry her lover, and planning to quit the group for a long time regardless of the development of the group" Zheng Xiuyan immediately became the loser.

But the evaluation of passers-by is put aside for the time being, the most injured are the fans of Girls' Generation, after all the sone shows the sound of ten thousand horses in unison in the past two days, they have frantically left messages on the Internet to post that they need a truth, and they urgently need other members to stand up and explain what is going on.

Ji Jingyuan has also seen a lot of this discussion on the Internet, and the anger, despair, sadness and sadness contained in it are more than the feelings of Ellie when Luhan left the group not long ago

And.

In fact, as a loyal Yunhan, he also wanted to post a question, but after thinking about it, he decided to be rational and not to cause trouble.

It's just that the fans of the young time are a little disappointed.,I don't know if it's the company's strict requirements.,Or there's really nothing to say.,Except for SM's official statement.,As of today, the other eight Girls' Generation people have not revealed any news to the outside world.,Has maintained an unspeakable silence.。

Of course, Chi Jingyuan can also understand them, at this time, it is actually wrong to say anything to the outside world with their identity and position, more to say more wrong, less to say less wrong, not to say good.

And like EXO at the time, the company must have also issued a gag order for Shaoshi.

When I saw Girls' Generation again in the background today, the atmosphere in their team was very general, each doing their own thing, and no one talked, and Taeyeon didn't wave him over to chat when he saw Ji Kyung-won like before, but today he just shook his head and said hello with a smile from a distance of several meters.

It can be seen that these sisters are not in a good mood, their complexions are not very good, and several people do not communicate much with each other.

The whole backstage is a little deserted because of these things, but the combination with more seniority is okay, redvelvet, who has just debuted, and those SMrookies trainees trembled after they came in, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

In this somewhat stiff atmosphere, today's SMton family concert began.

The music and cheers outside shook the sky, and when the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, it was finally EXO's turn to appear:

"XO is ready!"
