14: Next stop JYP

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, the entire classroom was silent, with only their heartbeats echoing in the air.

“The last one was something I added spontaneously because I thought the dance was too simple. Was it okay?”

Everyone looked at her, seeing her face unreddened, her breathing steady, and her composed demeanor, with not the slightest doubt that she was lying.

“Unnie, isn't she a bit too Versailles?”

“Not a bit, she *is* Versailles!” Anyway, if she had to learn that dance, she wouldn't be able to. That aerial jump was truly debilitating; one wrong move and it would be game over.

“Then I'll learn dancing from her from now on. The company's dance teachers can't compare to her. I finally won't get scolded anymore. Haha~”

“But she has to be willing to teach. Just because you want to learn doesn't mean she has to teach you, right?”

“It's fine. From now on, I'll be responsible for waking her up, and she'll be responsible for teaching me to dance. If that doesn't work, I can also teach her vocal music; I'm pretty good at singing.”

“Count me in, I want to too!” Lisa quickly said.

...

“Let's score! Once I'm done, I'm going to JYP. It should still be in time for an audition.”

Kwon Ji-yong and Park Bom were both stumped by her words. What did she mean? Show off and then run away, right?

The three of them all looked at Yang Hyun-suk, waiting to see what their President Nim would say. This musical prodigy was also so amazing at dancing; were they really going to let her go to JYP?

“Zoe, why do you always bring up going to JYP? Isn't it good to stay here?” Yang Hyun-suk would never let her leave.

“As soon as I arrived, I was targeted, making it seem like no one wanted me. I heard JYP just debuted a new girl group; I should still be able to join them.”

“Uh???”

She said that so casually! Although JYP wouldn't refuse her, was a girl group something you could just join mid-way? The T-ara incident was still fresh in everyone's minds, so everyone was very cautious about this.

“I need to tell you, Park Jin-young wouldn't do something like adding someone in the middle. Besides, our company will also be debuting a new girl group next year. Don't you want to try?”

Yang Hyun-suk just wanted to keep her now. Their contract had no legal effect; that thing was useless at the moment, and even if she debuted later, it wouldn't be very useful, with pitifully few restrictions.

“President Nim, is it that I don't want to try? Did you give me a chance! As soon as I walked in, you told me to get out and scolded me. I'm just here to find a job, not to be a doormat.”

Everyone found her words very reasonable. Her skill had already crushed the dance teachers; it was indeed no different from finding a job, except she chose the lowest-status position of a trainee.

“That's simple! I'll just ask clearly for you.” He turned to the dance teacher: “Speak!”

“President Nim, I just simply wanted to educate her. Who knew she wouldn't listen to instruction....”

Seeing her still with that expression, 'Damn you, just you wait.' She had been 'educated' enough in her previous life.

Being used under various pretexts, enduring humiliation, only to end up being forced to drink with clients. 'Damn it, you're trying it again in this life. I'll make sure you don't get away with it.'

“President Nim, I don't expect her to bark around the company anymore. Bye!” She turned and left without the slightest hesitation. She had only come here to jump around on stage a few times anyway.

If it weren't for Peninsula's Kpop being the best, with various music show stages, how much better it would be to lie on her warm bed, having everything handed to her, living like a pampered idler.

She could sign with any company and become famous in the entertainment industry on her own. With so many resources, she wouldn't have to worry about a future and wouldn't have to endure that kind of anger.

“No! Is she really leaving?” Park Chaeyoung was stunned. She thought she was joking about going to JYP, but she didn't expect her to actually plan on going!

Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie were also dumbfounded. What was going on? Was she really unwilling to stay at YG? The President Nim had even stepped up to advocate for her, and she still turned and ran.

“Zoe, wait a minute. It's not like I'm not helping you ask; aren't I asking right now?” Yang Hyun-suk quickly stepped forward to stop her. If he let her go, he would regret it to death.

He knew that Xu Zhiyou's dancing was just her most ordinary skill at Juilliard School. If her most ordinary skill was this amazing, how incredibly strong must her main majors, composition and vocal music, be?

A five-year bachelor's and master's program with a full scholarship was no joke!

“Hurry up and speak, or do I need to investigate? You know my temper.”

The dance teacher was now filled with regret. She had only taken money to teach her a lesson; wasn't that a normal thing?

“Tsk tsk tsk! If you don't want to talk, then don't. This young lady doesn't even want to listen anyway? Hmph!”

“Zoe, what will I do if you leave?” Park Chaeyoung grabbed her, not letting her go.

She was still counting on Xu Zhiyou to teach her to dance. If she left, she would be scolded again. It wasn't like she couldn't stay; she might as well stick around for a few more days.

“Yah! Chaeyoung, I'm not dead. Do you have to be like this? JYP isn't far from here. I'll come see you when I have time. Calm down.”

“No!”

“Let go of me, or I'll beat you too.”

“I won't let go. If you beat me, you'll be ungrateful.”

“Oh my! My short temper. How am I ungrateful? Explain it to me.”

“Just tell me, since you arrived, have I been good to you or not? I helped you squeeze toothpaste, woke you up, and even shared delicious food with you. In the end, you just say you're leaving, and before you go, you want to beat me. You tell me, isn't that ungrateful?”

“Uh???”

Well, it actually seemed to be true. This made her feel quite guilty!

“Chaeyoung, it's not that I don't want to stay. I've offended a whole bunch of people. I'm afraid they'll make things difficult for me, and that would be so uncomfortable.”

“Don't worry, I guarantee no one will dare to make things difficult for you. If anything like that happens, I'll support you.” Yang Hyun-suk seized the opportunity and quickly promised.

“See, President Nim has even guaranteed it, so please stay!” Park Chaeyoung looked at her with sparkling eyes, so cute!

Thinking about how comfortable her stay had been from yesterday until now, who could guarantee she wouldn't be targeted at JYP? Besides, leaving like this would be a loss of face; it would feel like being chased out.

“Alright then, I'll stick around for a few more days and see. If it doesn't work out, you can come with me to JYP; I guarantee your debut.”

Park Chaeyoung was practically in tears. 'Damn it, isn't this putting me, Park, in a difficult position?' Could she even accept those words?

Everyone present remained in a state of stunned silence. She was too daring; President Nim was still here, wasn't he?

Yang Hyun-suk almost couldn't maintain his composure. Not only did she want to leave, but she also planned to poach his people. These were backup candidates for his girl group project; if she lured them away, what would the company do?

“Zoe, don't keep talking about leaving the company. You've only been here for less than a day; how can you fully understand? The company is actually very loving.”

“Thank you for your concern, President Nim. Let's continue the competition! Someone still hasn't crawled like a dog, have they? I'm really looking forward to it.”

Everyone present looked at their President Nim's relieved expression, and some of them suspected she was royalty.

This was too much differential treatment! If they had done that, they would have been thrown out, person and belongings, long ago.

Finally, as expected, she won with a perfect score, and looked at Park Chaeyoung very smugly, “Am I amazing?”

She really wanted to punch her, she was too smug!
