Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 78 A Chance Encounter

After reading the system's answer, Zhou Wenzhe could only say that human nature is unpredictable.

On the surface, it was a conflict between Jessica Jung and SM Entertainment. One wanted to expand her business empire, while the other wanted to protect the company's interests. The two sides could not reach a balance of interests and could only part ways.

Ultimately, the problem stemmed from the escalating tensions among the Girls' Generation members, which had become irreconcilable. If Jessica Jung had remained with Girls' Generation, the group would have quickly fallen apart.

One major difference between girl groups and boy groups is that boy group members are more likely to get along like brothers, while girl group members are basically unable to become sisters.

Because men usually don't hold grudges, conflicts when living or working together are either resolved on the spot or resolved with a big drink and a laugh.

Women are different. Most women will remember these conflicts for a long time. They may not show them normally, but when it comes to a critical moment, these conflicts will erupt all at once.

Once a woman's conflict erupts, it's tantamount to a complete breakdown in relations.

To put it bluntly, we are just colleagues who work together, and there is no such thing as one person being indispensable to another.

Moreover, that year was the most turbulent year for Girls' Generation, with members' relationships being exposed one after another, and various negative news. Who knew how long this group could last?

. . .

While Zhou Wenzhe and Lin Yoona were chatting casually, they arrived at the Japanese restaurant she had mentioned.

After parking the car, the two went inside the store.

Although it's quite late, there are still quite a few customers in the store, so it seems that this store is doing really well.

The two were greeted by a Japanese girl who probably didn't follow the entertainment industry much, so she didn't recognize Lim Yoona, but just thought the man and woman were very good-looking.

Led by her, the two entered a small private room.

After sitting down, Yoona ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes, including, of course, sashimi and sushi.

The waiter wrote down the menu and closed the door to the private room after leaving.

Lin Yoona picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, and pushed one cup in front of Zhou Wenzhe.

Zhou Wenzhe picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Do you come here often?"

"No, I only come here occasionally when I'm craving it. It seems like it's been more than half a year since I last came."

"oh."

"You don't like to eat it?"

"No, it's just that I rarely eat it." When Zhou Wenzhe was on missions in the past, he often went to dangerous places and ate too much raw food in the wild, so now he has no interest in food like sashimi.

"You should have said so earlier, then I wouldn't have suggested coming here."

"It's okay, it's fine to eat it once in a while."

"Next time, let's go to the restaurant you want to eat at."

"it is good."

"By the way, didn't you go to SM Entertainment a while ago?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

"I heard that a new director came to the company, and I guessed it was you."

"You're quite well-informed."

"Of course, after all, I've been with this company for over ten years."

"Has it been that long?"

"I joined SM Entertainment in 02, you can do the math." Im Yoona recalled that she came to this most famous entertainment agency in South Korea at the time with a dream of standing on the stage.

Unexpectedly, I stayed there for 16 years.

She has gone from a clueless elementary school student to the superstar she is today.

"02? You were already a trainee at such a young age?"

"Yes, actually I'm not the youngest. There's also Seohyun, who's a year younger than me. We joined the company around the same time."

During the conversation, the waiter brought out all the food that Lin Yoona had ordered.

The two continued eating and chatting.

To be honest, although the two have a very "deep" relationship now, they don't really know each other very well.

Tonight is a good opportunity for both sides to get to know each other better.

. . .

After finishing the meal, Zhou Wenzhe took the initiative to pay the bill.

Just as the two were about to leave the Japanese restaurant, Lim Yoona suddenly leaned close to him, lowered her head, and whispered, "I saw someone I know."

"Who is it? Aren't you going up and say hello?" Zhou Wenzhe looked around.

"No need, let's go."

Lin Yoona pulled Zhou Wenzhe out of the store and back into the car before explaining, "This is the person we were talking about in the car when we came here."

"You mean the one who left Girls' Generation?" Zhou Wenzhe was a little surprised; this was too much of a coincidence.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to run into her here." Lim Yoona sighed a little. Back then, she and Jessica Jung were very close, but now... they wouldn't even greet each other if they met again.

Inside the Japanese restaurant at this time.

"Unnie, wasn't that Yoona unnie just now?"

"Really? You must be seeing things."

"No, it's her. I don't know the man, he's probably not in the industry. Is he your boyfriend?"

"Alright, this is none of your business, hurry up and eat."

"Ugh."

"What are you groaning about? I'm telling you, Soojung, what I do with them has nothing to do with you."

"I know, I didn't say anything."

"Have you gotten a boyfriend recently?"

Jessica Jung looked at her younger sister, Krystal Jung, whose situation at SM Entertainment was not good because of her. In addition, she also committed another major taboo as an idol, which was to date an artist in the same company, causing her popularity and reputation to plummet.

Another unforeseen reason prevented the broadcast of several TV dramas she filmed in China, which not only wasted a lot of her time but also reduced her work opportunities in South Korea.

With more free time, you'll have more time to fall in love.

"No."

"real?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

"We can talk to suitable people if we find someone, just don't look for anyone in the industry."

"It's not that easy, unnie, you know that. Sigh... that guy just now..." Thinking of Zhou Wenzhe who was next to Lim Yoona just now, Jung Soo-jung suddenly realized that she seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel like I've seen Yoona unnie's boyfriend somewhere before."

"How can you be so sure he's your boyfriend? Can't they just be friends?"

"Who goes out to eat alone with a friend of the opposite sex this late at night?" Krystal Jung rolled her eyes at her sister.

"Where have you seen her before? Are you a newly debuted actress?" Jessica Jung has been less active in the entertainment industry lately and doesn't know many newcomers.

"No, it's definitely not a celebrity. Let me think." Krystal rubbed her head, trying hard to remember.

Finally, half a minute later, she remembered.

However, after realizing who Zhou Wenzhe was, she looked extremely shocked.

Seeing her sister's shocked expression, Jessica Jung was very curious and pressed, "Who is it?"

"He seems to be... SM Entertainment's new director, named Zhou Wenzhe."

"Are you sure? He's so young, how could he possibly be a director?" Jessica Jung was equally shocked upon hearing this, her face filled with disbelief.

What kind of company is SM Entertainment? How could they have such a young director?

"I'm sure I saw him at the company a while ago."

"You've seen him before? Then why didn't you recognize him earlier?"

"It was a bit far away at the time, and I only got it through my agent's recommendation."

"So... Yoona is really dating him?" Jessica Jung felt a mix of emotions, happy for her former younger sister, but also a little jealous and envious.

If she had had a boyfriend who was a board member, she wouldn't be in this situation today.

"Unnie, you just said no, but now you're asking me again. How should I know? I haven't been in touch with Yoona unnie for a long time."

the other side.

Perhaps moved by her own experience, Yoona slowly revealed the secret from back then, as well as some things about her and Jessica Jung.

The two had a very good relationship, but unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on them.

This is basically consistent with the answer given by the system.

Finally, Yoona let out a long sigh, "I don't know if we'll ever be able to make up in this lifetime."

After saying that, she looked out the window and fell into deep thought.
