"What does it have to do with her? Isn't she a victim?"
Chi Jingyuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke and glanced at Minazaki Saka with a surprised expression, then glanced at his manager Li Chenghuan and exchanged glances for a moment.
Finally, he looked at MBC again, with an obviously puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't know why the other party said that.
He just heard the PD say that the responsibility for the accident lies with Saka Minatozaki. When he asked her to apologize, he did not react at all. He thought he heard wrong... but he quickly looked around at the faces of the people around him.
, and after thinking for a moment, he finally came to his senses.
This kind of thing has happened many times before, and Minatozaki Saka is not the only idol who has fallen.
The wrong opening of the elevator must be the fault of the staff at MBC. In fact, everyone knows this and there is nothing to say.
However, it is not pleasant to say something like "an artist was injured because of an employee's mistake". It will be criticized by fans and the public, and it will damage the reputation and image of the TV station.
Therefore, even if MBC knows that it is wrong, MBC will not admit it face to face. At most, it will express a little sorry in private, and then send a few resources internally to comfort it.
In fact, this is how it is handled in the past... But this time it involves SM and the innocent Ji Kyung-won. SM expressed strong dissatisfaction and demanded an apology. Considering the cooperation with SM and the special treatment of Ji Kyung-won, MBC
Several staff members did not refuse.
But MBC is unwilling to admit that it is their fault. The dignity and image of the station must be maintained. Once they apologize, they will admit that it is their fault.
That's not possible...what should I do?
After a little discussion, we came to a conclusion... It's easy to handle, just put the responsibility on Minazaki Saka.
Our staff did not make any mistakes in their operation. They opened the elevator door strictly according to the time. Moreover, the elevator door was not on the only way for you to exit. You did not exit according to the scheduled route and did not look at the road while walking.
Do you dare to say that it's not your problem?
In just a few words, the responsibility was instantly transferred to Minatozaki Saka. MBC took it for granted, and SM didn't mind. After all, it had nothing to do with them. Although JYP was not angry, nothing major happened to Minatozaki Saka after all.
My arms couldn't hold my thighs, and MBC also hinted that it would compensate with some benefits and resources. After weighing the pros and cons, I just accepted it with pinched noses.
Everyone seems happy.
As for what Minazaki Saka thinks, whether she will be sad, whether she will feel aggrieved... no one cares.
No one cares about the thoughts and feelings of her, the real victim, just listen to the arrangements.
A newly debuted female idol of a popular girl group is of no importance in front of the TV station, even JYP... Even though the staff who made the mistake and even the position of the on-site PD are not high, they are the representatives of MBC at this time
, they have such confidence.
Sometimes something as simple as "whose fault is it?" can become complicated when the identities are not equal.
Chi Jingyuan looked around. Although he only listened to a few words briefly, he already had a clear idea of the thoughts of several groups of people, especially MBC.
Although he was originally extremely annoyed because of the unforeseen disaster and the pain in his arm, Chi Jingyuan actually didn't pay too much attention to this matter.
He accepted the conclusion that it was "just an accidental mistake by the staff". After all, it did not cause any irreversible consequences. So in fact, he did not have any excessive demands and thought he was unlucky. As long as MBC staff or PD representatives would do anything,
Just an apology is all, and he doesn't want any resource compensation or anything like that.
I just didn't expect that they couldn't even let go of their identity when they apologized. Instead, they had to shift the responsibility to other people. They expressed such sporadic apologies as if they had completed the task and gave alms, making it look like they were holding their noses and feeling helpless after completing something.
Agree to the same unreasonable demands.
How arrogant!
Chi Jingyuan sneered in his heart and glanced at Saka Minatozaki who was not far away with tears in her eyes and sniffling.
He said how could Minatozaki Saka be able to cry so much, how could she cry from just now to now... It turns out that she has changed from a victim to a responsible person, and she needs to be 'apologised'.
Do I need an apology from her?
"Um..." MBC's PD was stunned for a moment, paused for a moment, smiled, and explained: "Although Sana xi fell from the elevator door, it was mainly because she did not follow the prescribed route, so...
"
Originally he thought it was handled perfectly and this matter could be easily solved by going through the process. Unexpectedly, Chi Jingyuan suddenly intervened, which made him feel a little dissatisfied, but also a little uneasy at the same time.
"But didn't she fall because the elevator door opened in advance? How could she have fallen if the elevator door didn't open?"
After blinking, Chi Jingyuan looked at the PD with a strange expression: "And there was no 'prescribed route' for us during the rehearsal. This is the first time I have heard of this term... Isn't that the only way to get off the stage?
Artist channel?"
Normally, he wouldn't bother to say anything about this kind of thing, leaving it directly to the company and his agent, but MBC's approach and arrogance made Chi Jingyuan, who was already in a bad mood, feel a little angry.
Moreover, Minazaki Saka next to her looked really pitiful. Just thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan knew how uncomfortable this girl was feeling just now.
After all, he is a close junior friend who sweetly calls him oppa every time he meets, and he is also his little girlfriend’s best friend and wingman. When encountering such a thing, he naturally has to help... And now, it looks like he is doing it.
Forcing Minatozaki Saka to apologize to her will make future meetings awkward.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Chenghuan next to him glanced at Chi Jingyuan without leaving any trace. Although the voice in his ears was normal, Li Chenghuan, who had been with him for several years, had already noticed that Chi Jingyuan
Yuan was angry.
The PD's voice became a little off. He looked at the staff next to him and continued to talk about their investigation results seriously: "But after our confirmation, the staff did not open the elevator door at the right time.
questionable……"
"Huh...really?"
Chi Jingyuan suddenly smiled and looked at the PD's performance with a playful expression: "Why don't you ask me if you want to investigate this matter? Am I not a party involved?... It's just that I clearly remember that the elevator door was in Twice's "cheer"
Up" had already started before it ended. At that time, I was wondering why it started so early, so I remember it very clearly."
"If it's earlier, I can go up and perform on the same stage as Twice, and maybe I can have an ending... Is this what you call no problem?"
"you……"
Here, Ji Jingyuan and the people from MBC were sarcastically arguing, but next to her, Saka Minatozaki, who was the center of the crowd and was about to apologize, suddenly no one paid attention to her.
She looked intently at Chi Jingyuan opposite, who was arguing with the PD with a half-smile. The little mouth she was biting because of sadness opened slightly at some point, and she looked a little dazed, like a puppy, with an expression on her face.
There were still obvious traces of tears, but the eyes that had lost color and vitality just now were extraordinarily bright. A teardrop fell and rippled into the corner of the eye while the eyelashes trembled, adding more water to the eyes.
When she was called out of the lounge by her manager, she had an ominous premonition when she saw Jin Sangmin's face. She didn't expect to hear something unbelievable right after she walked out.
‘Is it my fault? I’m here to apologize’
Is there any mistake?
This was my first reaction when I heard the results of the negotiations between the manager and MBC.
She really walked off the stage according to the prescribed route. She stayed with the other members and didn't run around. It was so dark there that anyone noticed that there was a hole there. And under normal circumstances, the elevator shouldn't be opened at all at this time, right?
And if Chi Jingyuan hadn't happened to be down there and took the initiative to catch her, she would have been in the hospital by now, and she didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
It's obviously the TV station's fault, so why is all the responsibility now put on her? It's okay to apologize to Chi Jingyuan, why does she have to apologize to the TV station too?
She suddenly changed from a victim to a responsible person, and Saka Minazaki couldn't accept the sudden change.
However, after she tried to resist this conclusion to no avail, her whole body was surrounded by a huge sadness and grievance.
There was a feeling of being abandoned all over my body, a deep-seated helplessness, and an indescribable grievance.
Although she fell from the elevator before, luckily she didn't suffer any injuries, that is, she was a little frightened... At this time, her mood was much more uncomfortable than before, and the sadness in her heart was far worse than the pain in her body.
But what can we do? She is just a foreign female idol. When her manager muffledly persuades or even orders her to apologize, the only company she relies on has made this decision. What can she change?
...The only benefit from today's incident may be that you have matured.
When she came with her agent, she had been comforting herself in her heart, but she still couldn't help feeling aggrieved, tears streaming down her face, and because the people next to her couldn't speak, she covered her mouth and sobbed silently.
, seems even more desolate.
But she didn't expect that after brewing for a long time, just when she was about to apologize in a hoarse voice, Chi Jingyuan suddenly interrupted her, as if a beam of light shone into her heart from the outside.
Especially when she heard the sentence 'Isn't she a victim?' she almost cried again...
It's such a simple sentence that everyone knows in their hearts, but now it sounds extremely touching and warm... Especially when I heard Chi Kyung-won quarreling with MBC for himself, it was even more so.
Looking at this familiar senior Oppa, her little sister's boyfriend, she sniffed sharply, her eyes filled with gratitude, but also with the same amount of complexity.
But at this moment, Minazaki Saka was more worried... because the other side had passed the stage of restraint and serious discussion, and started to have some disagreements.
"By interfering with the results we have already ruled, is Jingyuan Xi's arrogance a little too big?"
A Staff next to him seemed very dissatisfied with Chi Jingyuan's attitude, looking at him seriously and angrily.
After all, their so-called investigation and liability certification are all just deception. They are just for show and cannot withstand further investigation. After Chi Jingyuan deliberately stated the facts, MBC was speechless.
A few people at MBC are also a little annoyed... It's just a formality, and having someone apologize to you already gives you face. Who knew there were so many things?
This is Chi Jingyuan. If it were another idol, even if it were the rest of EXO, they would have already started training with a straight face.
But even for Chi Kyung-won, MBC's PD and staff were a little annoyed by his attitude at this time, and their tone was not as kind as at the beginning.
But Chi Jingyuan didn't seem to care at all, and his tone was full of ridicule: "I didn't expect you to call this a 'result'."
After speaking, he shrugged and added, "Even if Yin Hou were to investigate, the result would not be more ridiculous than this."
"Pfft..."
Next to him, Li Chenghuan burst into laughter without stopping, marveling at Chi Jingyuan's meanness and venomous tongue.
Yoon Hou is a very popular seven-year-old kid in the first season of "Dad, Where Are We Going" a few years ago. He is the son of singer Yoon Min-soo. He is known for his gluttony and cuteness. He gained great popularity at the time... This
The program happened to be MBC's flagship program, so everyone at MBC knew what Chi Kyung-won meant.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ah x..."
The naked ridicule immediately made several people angry. In the middle of the swear words, they slammed the table hard: "Jingyuan xi, don't go too far. This is the result that your SM has also agreed with, Li Chenghuan xi?"
"Ani..."
Li Chenghuan, who was suppressing his laughter, was suddenly cueed. He noticed Chi Jingyuan's frowning eyes and quickly waved his hand to clarify: "I didn't express any opinions..."
As he said that, he pointed at Chi Jingyuan in the eyes of everyone, and said with a smile: "And it's useless if I agree... I have to have him agree."
Before the people next to him could get angry, the on-site PD, who was obviously the one who was in charge of MBC, knocked on the table and stopped his men's movements. Then he looked at Saka Minatozaki next to him with a strange look, and then looked at Ike Kyung-won.
: "We may have some disputes over the way this matter is handled, but there should be no problem with SM and Jingyuan xi... Are Jingyuan xi and Sana xi in a relationship?"
In the original result, no one actually lost anything. Whether it was SM or JYP, MBC had promised to compensate. Except for Saka Minatozaki, who no one cared about, it should have been a happy story for everyone.
…
Chi Jingyuan acted so dissatisfied, as if he wanted to stand up for the female idol, and it was hard not to make the PD think too much.
"Arnie."
Of course, there was no room for Saka Minatozaki to speak at this time. Chi Jingyuan glanced at Saka Minazaki, who was looking at him, and shook his head in denial: "I'm just a junior I know."
"That Jingyuanxi..."
After a short pause, Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and said casually: "Because, I am also a victim."
It's just that he didn't tell the real reason.
Although she is not my girlfriend...but she is also my best friend.
Moreover, I am not in a good mood to begin with, and your attitude and arrogance make me even more unhappy...Who are you looking down on?
"Now that you've said that." PD nodded as if he understood something. He paused and then asked: "Then Jingyuan Xi, what do you think we should do?"
"How I handled it before, just do it this time, just add an apology."
Chi Jingyuan looked at the MBC people in front of him, and then at Saka Minazaki, who still had tears on her face, and her voice became serious: "Are my demands too much? I apologize for doing something wrong.
Is it really that difficult?”
"Jingyuanxi, what we represent is not ourselves, but MBC TV station."
PD's expression also became serious at this time, looking at Chi Jingyuan majestically, and finally emphasized the words 'MBC TV station', showing his reserve and arrogance.
Feeling the pressure and power from the TV station, the conference room suddenly became quiet, and the ticking sound of the second hand of the clock hanging on the wall above the main seat was clearly visible.
"Ah……"
After a few seconds, Chi Jingyuan burst out laughing, as if he had heard something ridiculous. His attitude had changed a lot from his usual politeness, and his eyes were no longer calm as before, but became sharp.
: "Don't bring up the TV station for everything..."
He looked around, his eyes swept over the faces of the MBC staff, his eyes were disdainful and playful, his attitude was condescending, and he said with disdain:
"You have an on-site PD, a few miscellaneous field staff, oh, and there seems to be an FD responsible for coordination. You don't even have a title of basic department leader. You guys may not represent MBC... You put us
SM’s position is not as high as Seung Hwan’s, so he may be laid off at any time.”
Glancing at Li Chenghuan who was smiling bitterly, Chi Jingyuan laughed, tilted his head and continued to look at them:
"And this is your own work error and not the responsibility of anyone else. Does your MBC CEO Kim Chang-gyeum know that you are bullying people under the banner of the TV station... I even doubt whether you have reported this matter.
"
I don't know if Chi Jingyuan was right, or if he was angry at his disdainful tone and attitude, one of the named 'handsome' workers stood up directly and shouted angrily: "Axi,
Is this your attitude towards the TV station and your seniors? Don’t go too far. Has your company taught you the manners and duties of an idol?”
With that said, he looked at the PD who made the decision: "PDnim, since you don't want to accept it, forget it. I think there is nothing more to say to him and SM."
His meaning is very clear. If you want to accept it, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. Your thoughts are irrelevant. They can just decide for themselves.
"It seems that the root of your arrogance is that you think our identities are not equal. You look down on Sana and think you can arrange whatever you want, and you look down on me..."
Facing the staff who were no longer pretending, Chi Jingyuan spread his hands, pointed at Saka Minatozaki, and then pointed at himself, as if he understood, 'I see.'
He nodded as if he suddenly realized something, smiled bitterly as if he had some self-pity, and then extended his hand to Li Chenghuan to signal.
Li Chenghuan also had a tacit understanding and took out Chi Jingyuan's cell phone. Chi Jingyuan took the phone, unlocked it, looked at the people in front of him, and pouted casually:
"Well then, whoever you think is qualified to talk to you, I'll let him talk to you."
