Chapter 108 The Blessing of Having Multiple Women
Bae Soo-ji was taken aback when she saw Zhou Wenzhe, but she quickly composed herself, stood up, smiled at him, and greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Director-nim."
"Hello, Bae Suzy, what are you doing here?"
"It's nothing, I'm just resting here for a while, I have to leave now."
Recently, the online criticism of Bae Suzy has not stopped and even seems to be escalating, causing her great distress.
She came to the company today hoping to discuss how to resolve this matter, but to her surprise, the company's response was simply to wait and let things calm down on their own.
In fact, this approach is quite correct; the more you respond, the greater the potential backlash may be.
The so-called petitions and boycotts against her by netizens are just empty talk and will not cause her any real harm. As time goes by and other events occur, no one will mention this matter anymore.
But Bae Suzy doesn't think that way. In her mind, she has given so much to JYP Entertainment. When the company was about to go bankrupt a few years ago, it was her work without a break all year round that kept the company afloat.
Now, just because I didn't choose to renew my contract, the company is so heartless, letting this negative news about me spread.
This is tantamount to betraying her and abandoning her after she has served her purpose. How could she possibly forgive him?
Seeing Zhou Wenzhe here reminded her of what her former agent had said last time.
Should we ask her for help?
What could I possibly offer in return?
Zhou Wenzhe knew that Bae Suzy was currently embroiled in a huge public controversy, but it had nothing to do with him, so he hadn't paid any attention to it. However, seeing her looking so distraught today, he figured it must not have been resolved yet.
"Oh." Zhou Wenzhe didn't ask about the public opinion surrounding her, since it wasn't a good thing.
Just as he passed by her and continued upstairs, Bae Suzy finally made up her mind and said, "Director-nim, could you please help me?"
Upon hearing her say this, Zhou Wenzhe's first reaction was, why would she ask him for help? The two were not familiar with each other at all, and this was only their second meeting. Wasn't this a bit too abrupt?
Just then, the system notified me of a new task.
He glanced at the mission quickly and, sure enough, it was related to Bae Soo-ji.
[Bae Suzy's request]: Help Bae Suzy eliminate the negative public opinion and help her get out of the low point in her life.
Rewards: 500 Gold Coins, +10 Intimacy with Bae Suzy, and the skill aura "Blessing of Having Two Women".
"The Blessing of Two Women": The aura has an effective range of 20 meters and can simultaneously affect two women with an intimacy level of 80 or higher (can be upgraded).
Zhou Wenzhe didn't care about the previous rewards, and even looked down on them a bit. But when he saw that this task actually rewarded a skill aura, and it was the kind of aura he needed most right now.
"The blessing of having multiple wives" is a Chinese idiom. Anyone with a basic understanding of Chinese idioms knows what it means. Moreover, this halo can be upgraded, so this task is indispensable and must be completed.
Immediately, his expression softened, and his tone, which had initially been one of refusal, became friendly. "How would you like me to help you?"
Bae Suzy was taken aback by Zhou Wenzhe's attitude and didn't react for a moment. After a brief moment of surprise, she said, "I heard that Director-nim also invests in film and television dramas. I was wondering if I could have some audition opportunities."
Since the public outcry began, she hasn't received any work for almost half a year, and no job opportunities have come her way. Even directors and screenwriters who used to be on good terms with her have subtly suggested that she wait until the public outcry subsides.
In fact, even if she didn't work now, the money she has earned over the years since her debut would be enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life. But she is unwilling to accept this and is determined to prove that she can rise again from the bottom.
"That's easy. Give me your phone number, and I'll let you know if there's a suitable script."
"Oh, okay." Bae Soo-ji didn't expect things to be resolved so easily. At this moment, she had a lot of questions in her mind. Thinking back to the last time they met at the company, he looked at her with disdain. What was wrong with him today?
Did something happy happen today that makes you so easy to talk to?
Or perhaps he has ulterior motives.
The two exchanged phone numbers.
"Then wait for my call. I should have news soon." Zhou Wenzhe has been reading a lot of scripts at home recently, and there are a few that he finds quite interesting. He plans to meet with the screenwriters soon to discuss them.
"Thank you, Director."
"Don't mention it. You're still an artist under JYP Entertainment. As a director of the company, I'll definitely help you if I can. Don't worry too much, things will work out in the end."
Hearing this, Bae Suzy felt like crying. After getting used to the backstabbing and scheming in the entertainment industry, she hadn't felt like crying for many years. Today, this man she had only met twice showed her the greatest kindness.
At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into her head: she wanted to learn more about this man. So she extended an invitation, "Director-nim, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner."
"Eat? Sure, what do you want to eat?" Zhou Wenzhe hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
He originally had something to do tonight, but in order to complete this task as soon as possible, he decided to put all the unimportant things aside.
The sooner he gets the aura, the sooner he can complete the main quest, and he won't have to worry about triggering a disaster anymore. Although this aura can only affect those with an intimacy level of 80 or higher, he can use free points to increase it.
"What would you like to eat, Director?"
"I'm fine with either."
"Let's have steak then. I know a restaurant that has really good steak."
"sure."
"I'll send you the restaurant address in a bit. We'll meet there at 7 p.m., okay?"
"Okay, see you there."
The two agreed on a time and place, and then parted ways.
When she left, Bae Suzy looked noticeably more relaxed.
Inside the president's office.
Zhou Wenzhe and Park Jin-young sat on opposite sides of the sofa, drinking tea and discussing Twice's first world tour next year and the endorsements of the nine members.
Next year, Twice will also embark on their first world tour since their debut, scheduled to begin in mid-May and last for about four months.
This time, in addition to several major cities in Asia, they will also be holding concerts in several major cities in the United States for the first time, officially announcing their entry into the global market.
It was for this reason that Zhou Wenzhe brought them some very good news.
