Chapter 809 is for her
Chi Jingyuan's light voice echoed in the room, and his meaningless tone was obviously provocative, completely different from his polite appearance at the beginning.
Just when Kim Sang-min and Minatozaki Sana thought that MBC was going to angrily refute, the situation was very unexpected. However, facing the sudden change in Ji Jingyuan's attitude, the expected counterattack from the already annoyed people at MBC did not appear. Instead, they all remained silent. The staff member who slammed the table the loudest and had the worst attitude just stammered twice, looked to the side and began to pretend to be dead.
Faced with the obviously angry Chi Jingyuan, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became a little weird.
SM Li Chenghuan looked at Chi Jingyuan with his eyes and his nose in his heart, without expressing any opinions. He just glanced at Chi Jingyuan from time to time with a strange look in his eyes. He wondered in his heart why this kid suddenly got so angry. He who always knew Chi Jingyuan was also a little surprised.
At the same time, he also took the time to glance at Minatozaki Sana across from him with a strange look... He didn't believe what Chi Jingyuan just said, "I am also a victim." He always felt that he had something to do with this female idol...
She said she wasn’t a girlfriend…but other than being in a relationship, what else could it be?
Kim Sangmin from JYP is now in a state of surprise. They have been in a weak position throughout the whole process and basically do whatever MBC says. Even though they are somewhat dissatisfied with the previous handling results, there is nothing they can do... He really didn't expect that Ji Jingyuan, an artist he is very familiar with and has a lot of contact with, would be angered.
Although the other party's original intention seemed to be because MBC's attitude was arrogant and perfunctory, it was still a sign of standing up for him, especially since Minatozaki Sana stood up for him...
While he was surprised at the change of situation, he was also amazed at the strength and confidence that Ji Jingyuan showed even when facing a TV station like MBC after he got angry. The condescending attitude on his body was completely different from what he usually saw... In addition, he also glanced at Minatozaki Sana beside him.
The reason is similar to Lee Seung-hwan's.
Minatozaki Sana was a little absent-minded, sniffing from time to time. Her tearful eyes still looked a little pitiful, but she was no longer crying.
She was not surprised by the appearance of the oppa in front of her, and suddenly remembered the scene when she, Zhou Ziyu and Lin Nayeon were rescued by this oppa in the hotel not long ago. Ji Jingyuan seemed to be like this at that time, very different from his usual appearance... Although she was not the protagonist at that time, the various pictures and scenes of that day had already been deeply engraved in her heart.
Chi Jingyuan seems a little strange now, but he makes people feel particularly at ease.
Looking at her sister's boyfriend who was having an attack, Minatozaki Sana inexplicably felt a sense of security emerging from within...
As for the people from MBC, they suddenly fell silent. Even the staff member who slammed the table and issued a threat did not get angry anymore. Instead, he opened his mouth without saying a word, pretending to be dead and looking at the on-site PD in the middle.
The other people also fell silent. They did not respond to Chi Jingyuan's words. They looked at their colleagues and finally looked at the PD who made the decision.
Why did they treat Minatozaki Sana and Chi Jingyuan so differently... They pushed the responsibility to Minatozaki Sana without considering her feelings, and didn't even bother to say a word. But they were very patient with Chi Jingyuan, and in order to satisfy them, they even made a scapegoat to apologize, and at the beginning they were willing to sit here and talk with a smile.
It's because they all know that Chi Jingyuan's identity is not ordinary... Although Chi Jingyuan has been very low-key and has not actively publicized anything, things about him are no longer a secret in the circle. After all, a lot of things have happened in these years, especially the SBS year-end event in 13 that caused a big fuss.
Even if they don't know the exact information, those who are well-informed know that his background is very unusual and he has the most profound background among all the artists.
Otherwise, given their usual attitude towards idols and young artists, they would have walked away with a sullen face, and then ordered and threatened the agency to discipline them.
Just like Minatozaki Sana...
The reason why he was so persistent and remained strong in the face of Chi Jingyuan's doubts and dissatisfaction was that, as a TV station staff, he was used to being arrogant and strong when dealing with the agency and idols. The halo and background of MBC gave them confidence and arrogance beyond their position.
Secondly, Chi Jingyuan has always been very sensible and polite, and they think that he will not do anything. After all, this matter has never been a big deal in their eyes.
As a result, Chi Jingyuan now seems to be serious, and as a result, those MBC people suddenly retreated... At this time, no one would really stand up in anger, slam the table and shout provocatively, "Let's see who you can call."
Such arrogant, reckless provocations and threats are not suitable for their position and class...
In the final analysis, they are just middle and lower level employees of MBC, just trying to make a living. After so many years, they are still in this status. Their abilities may not be that great, but they definitely have good eyesight, and they have thoroughly implemented the survival creed of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
...At this time, they finally reacted and realized that the little idol in front of them really had a background, and he really had the ability to pull out a subjective high-level person that they could not resist to have an "equal dialogue" with them.
The people from MBC shrank back and stopped talking, which immediately made the entire conference room strangely quiet... and Chi Jingyuan, who had been a little excited and was expecting a few idiots to jump out and refute and provoke, and was always ready to step on others to show his face, was instead left there feeling a little empty.
After a few seconds of silence, the on-site PD, who was the leader, finally spoke. A smile appeared on his dark face, and his kindness was a little strange:
"Uh... this is not necessary."
After seeing that it was real, the PD's attitude changed very quickly. Just now he was full of the "dignity that MBC should have", but now he instantly turned into a reasonable and friendly uncle. However, there was a little bit of stiffness in the switching of expressions. The seriousness on his face still remained in his eyebrows and eyes, and when mixed with the smile, his expression looked quite funny.
But he really didn't mind at all... because he was the one who knew Ji Jingyuan best among the people in MBC. He and his colleagues lamented countless times about the time in 13 when the other party called the SBS representative director. He also heard his boss casually mention some things about Ji Jingyuan when he was having dinner with him before.
Although MBC is a semi-public commercial TV station, unlike SBS, a completely private TV station, where shareholders and senior executives have great power... he is well aware that people with connections have influence everywhere.
"Didn't you say you had nothing to talk to me about and wanted to find someone of equal status to talk to?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at him with a sneer.
"Jingyuanxi, you are joking. If that were the case, why would we have discussed this with you for so long..."
There was actually a hint of innocence in the PD's tone at this moment, as if it wasn't their fault, but Chi Jingyuan was just being unreasonable...
His meaning was very clear. We already value you very much. If you were not Chi Jingyuan, you would have been like Minatozaki Sana next to you, sobbing in grievance for a long time and no one cared. You would also be waiting to apologize to the perpetrator as a victim.
We are already very close to each other, what else do you want?
The corners of his mouth twitched as if smiling, but Chi Jingyuan did not take the PD's slowing down of his attitude seriously. These people are all old foxes, and it has long been their survival instinct to shrink back when they see that the situation is not right.
It’s just that when he started to get angry, the other party didn’t respond at all and immediately became scared...which made Chi Jingyuan feel a little bored.
But he was not ready to let the other party go just like that. Some attitudes and things could not be easily erased after they were revealed... otherwise they would really think that he was easy to bully.
"The so-called discussion is to make me look like an idiot? To put all the blame on a female idol who is the victim?"
As he spoke, he looked across at Minatozaki Sana, and their eyes met in the air. Minatozaki Sana pursed her lips when she heard that, but she didn't show any intention of avoiding Chi Jingyuan's gaze. The water reflected the bright light, sparkling and a little dazzling.
"We actually understand this matter...but if Jingyuanxi has any objections, we can still discuss it."
The PD also glanced at Minatozaki Sana, with a hint of dissatisfaction and contempt in his eyes: "How about this, we are willing to re-investigate the specific opening time of the elevator. If it is our problem, we are willing to admit the mistake internally. Today's working group and the staff who made the mistake will apologize to Jing Yuanxi, and at the same time make some resource compensation."
"In addition, if Jingyuanxi has any other demands, you can also say it." The on-site PD smiled, and there was some obvious helplessness in his tone, as if he had already made a lot of concessions.
The MBC staff who had a strong attitude just now also looked over, with their lips pursed and not saying anything... At this moment, everyone was in a complicated mood, angry that they had to swallow their anger in front of a little idol, but also hoped that this matter would be resolved quickly.
But Chi Jingyuan did not respond to them. He withdrew his gaze from Minatozaki Sana and shook his head slightly:
"My initial request was just an apology. It was just a work error. It can happen to anyone. There's no need to delve into it too much."
He chuckled, took out his phone and started looking through his contacts, shrugged and looked nonchalant, "But your attitude makes me feel really uncomfortable. I don't want to apologize now. I just don't want to see you in the future... As for my current demands, it's useless to tell you about layoffs or job transfers. You can't decide, right?"
"Also, I think your attitude of not taking the idol profession seriously and not taking the feelings of the victimized artists seriously is really bad... Although this may be the norm in this circle, and I alone cannot change the overall situation, but since I have encountered it, I think it is necessary to correct this trend a little, right?"
Chi Jingyuan asked shyly and then dialed the phone.
Seeing that Chi Jingyuan ignored his advances, PD's smile became more and more forced. Soon, the number Chi Jingyuan dialed was quickly connected. He paused for a moment, cleared his throat, and greeted in a friendly tone: "... Yo, isn't it? Brother Shengrong, it's me, Jingyuan."
"Haha, I was really too busy before... Nothing special, I just ran into a little problem at MBC today and wanted to ask for your help."
"Is such that……"
While Chi Jingyuan was talking on the phone as if no one was around, the other MBC staff members didn't react, but the on-site PD's expression changed, and a trace of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.
Although he didn't hear the last name, but the fact that someone called "Shengrong" in MBC was recognized by Ji Jingyuan was very powerful. A name appeared in his mind reflexively. Seeing that Ji Jingyuan was full of confidence and enthusiasm, he must be the person he was thinking of.
It's fine for other people, but this person can really influence or manipulate their work and positions...
At this moment, PD suddenly felt uneasy and fearful. He really wanted to interrupt Chi Jingyuan's call, but when he stretched out his hand, it stopped stiffly in mid-air.
When the time came, he really regretted why he had to pretend to show off MBC's strength and majesty even though he knew that this little idol had an extraordinary background... What did MBC's strength and majesty have to do with them, the lower-level employees?
At the same time, I was also a little indignant in my heart...Isn't it just bullying a new female idol? And it's not a big deal, just a little grievance, how can an idol not be wronged? Their company has no objection...
Besides, we haven't offended you. We just showed a little bit arrogant. Is it necessary to make such a fuss about it?
Everyone in the conference room looked at Chi Jingyuan with puzzled expressions as he spoke on the phone. Everyone had different thoughts in their minds.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I should be fine after two days of rest...Okay, I'll take care of it. Thank you."
"Okay, if you need anything, just call me... Okay, bye."
Chi Jingyuan didn't talk for too long, and the call soon came to an end. He hung up the phone politely with a smile, and then raised his head to look at the people from MBC again. The smile on his face quickly disappeared, leaving only a hint of arrogance that showed from the inside out.
It seems that the attitudes of these people at the beginning are somewhat similar.
Facing the nervous gazes of the group of people, he blinked and deliberately kept them in suspense, then grinned with a standard business smile: "That's about it. You should be able to receive a call from someone who is qualified to communicate with you in a while. As for the result, whether it is layoffs or job transfers... I really can't intervene in this. It depends on your respective abilities and backgrounds."
As he said this, he stood up from the stool, ignored the angry and desperate looks of the PD and several stagehands, and moved his shoulders.
Just as he was about to leave, Chi Jingyuan seemed to have thought of something, turned around and added: "By the way, although the follow-up of this matter is no longer your responsibility, and it is uncertain whether we can see you here at MBC in the future...but you still have to apologize, you can't skip it, after all, you have to apologize if you do something wrong, it's easy to understand, right?"
"But not to me. I don't need your apology now..."
He waved his hand and paused for a second, then pointed at Minatozaki Sana opposite him under everyone's gaze: "It's for her..."
"Sigh~"
His expression and movements were very sensible, but before he could finish, Chi Jingyuan felt a pain in his outstretched right arm. His expression twitched immediately, and he covered his arm in an instant, taking a breath of cold air: "Ah Xi..."
Chi Jingyuan frowned and did not look at the situation of the people at MBC. He finally looked at Minatozaki Sana who was already a little stunned at this time. He nodded to her lightly while enduring the pain, and turned to leave:
"The stage is left to you. I'm leaving first..."
