Sun Shengwan, who was at the center of the topic, was already in a state of mind, feeling that things had changed too quickly.
Li Meizhu, who had looked like she wanted to eat someone just now, actually smiled kindly at her, with a hint of appreciation and regret in her eyes.
Sun Shengwan raised his eyes and glanced at Chi Jingyuan who was standing next to him. It was because of this person that the situation took such a drastic turn.
"Indeed, Sheng Wanxi is indeed a little green, so I need you to take more care of her. After all, Miju Noona is very experienced in managing female trainees."
Chi Jingyuan said with a smile, and at the same time gently patted Sun Shengwan's shoulder and gestured to Li Meizhu.
After Chi Jingyuan came in and had a conversation with Li Meizhu, Sun Shengwan's feeling of grievance subsided a lot unconsciously, and his fists were not as tightly clenched as before.
But the tears that he had been holding back forcibly just now burst out immediately with Chi Jingyuan's shot, and flowed down the bridge of his nose.
Sun Shengwan sniffed hard, reached out and wiped the tears beside his nose with the back of his hand, still lowering his head.
"Okay, after you win, let's go back to the practice room first and relax. There's no need to apologize to those trainees after you go back. After all, you all made some mistakes. I'll talk about the rest after I get there."
Seeing that Sun Shengwan couldn't control his emotions, Li Meizhu waved her hand, indicating that Sun Shengwan could go back.
"Kangsangmita."
Sun Shengwan thanked her in a low voice and saluted Li Meizhu to leave. She originally wanted to salute Chi Jingyuan, but Chi Jingyuan waved her off and told her to go back first.
Sun Shengwan glanced at him again, left the office and closed the door.
"Hey Yigu, I didn't expect that Jingyuan would become a relative with a newcomer who just joined the company. Didn't I hear that you don't have many friends in the company, but as a trainee, Jiang Seulqi is the only one who is of the same age?"
After Sun Sheng left, Li Meizhu shook her head, looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked jokingly.
"I really don't have many friends. I don't know most of the trainees and I can't even call them by their names."
Chi Jingyuan did not deny it, but nodded in confirmation.
After the business was done, he didn't leave directly. He talked to Li Meizhu for a while, and the other party told him many stories about what happened among the trainees, which made Chi Jingyuan find it quite interesting.
After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to the other party and returned to EXO's practice room.
…………
"Look, I just said it would be soon."
After Chi Jingyuan came back, he shrugged at the members who looked at him as soon as he entered.
"..."
Several members exchanged glances and looked at each other without speaking.
He sat back down and took out his cell phone. A message from Jiang Seulqi had been sent, saying that he would treat him to dinner that night. Chi Jingyuan replied with a smile and made an appointment.
"Okay, the rest time is long enough. Let's continue practicing when Jingyuan comes back." Jin Junmian stood up and clapped his hands, walked to the stereo and started to play songs.
"Well..." The members stood up and moved their bodies one after another. Chi Jingyuan also put down his mobile phone, picked up his drink, drank a few sips, and walked out.
"Sehun?"
All the members took their seats in the middle of the practice room. Wu Shixun was still holding a mobile phone. Although he stood up, he did not move. His hands kept typing on the mobile phone.
"coming!"
Wu Shixun clicked on his phone one last time, put it in his bag, and hurried over.
…
After the afternoon practice, Chi Jingyuan declined the invitation from his teammates to have a dinner date.
He took out his cell phone and clicked a few times, sent a message, and then went directly to the back door of the company to wait.
It was now the time for the trainees to eat after class. After Chi Jingyuan went downstairs, he could meet male and female trainees in groups of twos and threes walking towards the outside of the company.
SM company naturally has its own cafeteria, which also provides food supplies for artists and trainees. Artists will have extra meals, and trainees will also be given nutritional supplements such as yogurt every day.
However, after Chi Jingyuan went there a few times, he felt that it didn't quite suit the taste and he never went there again. Most of the EXO members didn't like to go there either. As long as they had enough time, they would usually go out to eat.
If it is a small gathering of three or four members, usually a few people from relatively well-off families will take the initiative to treat the guests. For example, Kim Jun-myeon, who has a pretty good family background, is quite enthusiastic and is a captain, and often treats guests to dinner.
Chi Jingyuan also invited him several times, but everyone took turns. Boys of this age, if they are not too stingy, usually have a good face and will not make themselves look stingy.
None of the members are the kind of people who are willing to take advantage of others every day.
In addition to debut artists, some trainees with good family conditions or who want to improve their food will not go to the cafeteria to eat.
The sm company building is located in Apgujeong, Gangnam District. It is a very prosperous place with a prosperous economy. There are many restaurants and eateries around. The food is definitely much better than the sm cafeteria in terms of color, nutrition and taste.
Chi Jingyuan stood waiting where he had not yet gone out. The trainees who passed by from time to time would salute and say hello to him when they saw him as a debut artist, and he would smile and nod in return.
As Chi Jingyuan, whose popularity has increased greatly due to TV dramas recently, although he has not been in the company for a long time, he is quite famous among the trainees, both good and bad.
He may not know a few people, but most of the trainees know him.
After casually observing for a while, he found that basically all the trainees who went out to eat went together, and no one was alone.
There are also a few men and women going out alone, and their facial expressions when talking and chatting do not look like ordinary friends. They are probably not going to eat, but like going on a date.
Just as Chi Jingyuan was observing the incoming people with great interest and waiting for someone, the sound of gentle footsteps came, and the figure of a girl came into his sight.
He is not tall, he looks less than 1.6 meters tall. His medium-long hair hangs on his shoulders. His bangs are so long that they almost cover his forehead. When he walks, he keeps his head slightly lowered.
The reason why she was able to attract Chi Jingyuan's attention was that she was different from the other trainees who went out to eat together before. She was alone, and there was always an aura of indifference and sadness around her.
He doesn't look very approachable.
Chi Jingyuan looked at her face and found that he seemed to have seen this girl before. After reminiscing about it, he remembered it.
I once took a photo by chance, and it was a name that appeared in people around me from time to time, Bae Joo Hyun.
