CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 355 - 347: The Dispute Begins

Base

The girls returning to the dormitory were truly exhausted.

Yuwei had just finished washing up when Zhang Zijing walked in wearing pajamas.

"Zijing, why aren’t you resting yet?"

"I just can’t sleep, I want to stay here with you."

In the dark night, Zhang Zijing’s eyes were like jewels, shining with a melancholic light.

Yuwei pulled her to the bedside, and the two sat down together.

"Yuwei, is this debut the intention of the big ship or the penguin?"

"Maybe both! Perhaps in their eyes, we are just a fast-moving consumer good."

"Yuwei, do they really have so little faith in us?"

Yuwei couldn’t help but smile bitterly, her eyes reflecting resignation.

"Zijing, the fact that our program could explode in popularity was beyond Penguin’s expectations."

"I think they hadn’t even prepared for how to manage us."

"Plus, we had a few fairly popular selections before, but they all faded after forming groups."

"In such a situation, how could the big ship and penguin manage us well?"

Hearing Yuwei’s analysis, Zhang Zijing felt her heart sink.

"Then once the trend fades in a few months, we will just, just..."

Yuwei also showed a worried expression, nodding: "If we don’t have any explosive works, that’s probably it. The penguin wants to create a brand, not a girl group."

Zhang Zijing sat there dazed, collapsing without realizing it.

It was far from what she had dreamed of; she wanted to be a true star.

"Zijing, another fatal problem is that we are just a two-year limited group."

"Why would the penguin invest resources into nurturing us?"

The whole sentence threw Zhang Zijing into the depths of despair.

Fans see the surface excitement, but those of us in the game see the interests.

"Yuwei, then what are we going to do?"

"Zijing, what else can we do? We’re just commodities!"

Upon saying this, Yuwei fell silent for a moment and said, "I’ve already signed with a company under Tencent and reached a collaboration agreement with the Penguin platform."

"What? Aren’t you an artist with Galaxy?"

Zhang Zijing was startled; if what Yuwei said was true, her resources would be much better than theirs.

"Zijing, there’s a long story behind this..."

Yuwei relayed what she could to Zhang Zijing.

"Oh my! You actually have such a complicated story, I know about Wu’s Entertainment Group—it’s a well-known film company in the industry."

After hearing her friend’s story, Zhang Zijing felt a bit envious.

She felt as if she had lived a plain life for more than a decade.

"So I had to throw myself under Penguin."

"Ye Zi, maybe it’s a good thing; after all, Penguin is a powerful big factory."

Zhang Zijing still agreed with Yuwei’s choice.

Another dormitory

Lv Fangxin and Wu Zixuan were talking.

Originally, Meng Wu was in the same dorm, but since forming the group, there was no need to pretend anymore.

"Zixuan, I’m so worried now. I’m going to be scolded again for tomorrow’s performance."

Wu Zixuan looked at Lv Fangxin’s appearance; she was both pained and amused.

Suddenly, she thought that Penguin arranged for Lv Fangxin to join the group not only to increase popularity but also to have a scapegoat.

"Just do your best, have faith in yourself."

"I really don’t have much confidence. I have to be proficient in the song and recording, practice new dance, and rehearse, I’m really afraid I can’t do it."

"No, Fangxin, you can do it. We’ll come together, we’re a team."

Upon hearing Wu Zixuan’s words, Lv Fangxin instantly felt much warmer, feeling like she had found family.

Lai Ruoxuan was looking at her phone; they had gotten their phones back after the competition.

But as she looked, tears began to fall, her cute face filled with sadness and sorrow.

She saw malicious comments and insults towards her.

She really cared a lot, though there were many praises as well.

Across from her bed, Duan Yuxin slept soundly.

She was the youngest, now in her nap-loving years. She was exhausted from the past few days.

After washing up, she went straight to sleep.

She was content and happy, her eyes full of flowers and a bright future.

At the same time, she had no worries because she believed she still had ten sisters by her side.

Jiang Mengqi was in another room, lying there checking her messages.

Because she was selected too suddenly, there was not much news about her online.

Most were praises and analyses of how she formed the group.

So she was quite happy; although very tired, she couldn’t stop.

However, she skipped over messages about Gao Ziyi every time.

She didn’t have an opinion on Gao Ziyi; it was just that the internet was all mocking Gao Ziyi’s performance last night as if she had done something unforgivable.

Jiang Mengqi knew that what people wrote wasn’t true, so she didn’t want to look.

The room also had Li Zimeng, whose presence surprised her.

Li Zimeng said she didn’t want to sleep alone and was scared, so she came over.

Jiang Mengqi naturally couldn’t refuse; she knew, perhaps, that the other was trying hard to integrate into their group.

Choosing her might be because she was bright and cute!

She guessed mostly right; Li Zimeng indeed wanted to better integrate into the team.

Another reason was that Li Zimeng was a bit scared of the other sisters, so she came to Rainbow, feeling Rainbow was good.

Yang Ni was alone in her room calling her parents, talking and crying at the same time.

She had so much to say; in these days, she felt reborn.

Meanwhile, Meng Meixuan was sleeping soundly; she had her own thoughts, needed to rest well, and be full of energy for tomorrow.

Fu Xiaoyu was also calling her family; she really missed home, thankfully she pulled through this time.

The next day, this group of girls quickly caught the bus to the airport.

Although the big ship had been criticized thoroughly by fans, the schedule couldn’t be changed.

Several who hadn’t rested well fell asleep deeply on the bus again.

After arriving at the airport, it seemed to confirm Yuwei’s words.

While boarding, Lv Fangxin almost got caught up with the fans sending them off and couldn’t enter the waiting room.

In the end, fans noticed and made way for her to pass through.

Just as the 11 girls boarded the plane, Wan Kai’s side was already in an uproar.

Back then, to have the people they wanted, Wan Kai made all kinds of verbal promises.

The biggest unfulfilled promise was allowing members to operate in two groups simultaneously.

Now that Wan Kai saw the show become a hit, this agreement was directly ignored.

Owners from seven companies couldn’t stand it and all demanded fulfillment of the initial promises.

Wan Kai absolutely refused, demanding fulfillment of all brokerage rights except the belonging agreement.

The most vehement opposition came from Yuehua because they had an agreement with the penguin allowing for the dual-group operation of Meng Wu two-person.

But the agreement was too vague, filled with loopholes.

However, it was still something. That’s why Yuehua made the biggest fuss.

Zhang Zijing’s company followed closely behind, not for any profit motive.

Because it had no agreement like Yuehua’s.

The boss acted because other investors wanted to kick him out.

As the company’s only valuable artist, Zhang Zijing, he wanted to destroy her.

Thus, he made a huge commotion, too.

Of course, the 11 girls were unaware of their companies’ plans.

Since they hadn’t torn saying publicly with Penguin.

So all companies chose to hide the news to avoid surprises.
