weather group

The voice is very soft, and the slightly rising ending makes this rhetorical question more reasonable.Zhu Lian really couldn't refute, her fingers unconsciously curled up into fists.

No one noticed the subtle aura between the two of them, so Pei Qiao handed out a stack of plans for them to read carefully.Zhu Lianzhen managed to use this to divert his attention. After flipping through more than ten pages, he found that many of the contents were not like temporary plans. Probably the company had already had the idea of ​​bringing Acemon back earlier.

He doesn't have a strong sense of belonging to the group, but he can't help being flattered now.

"Koty's ticket was booked on the wrong date, so he can't come today. Let's connect with him now, shall we?"

The person who spoke was Captain Ji Yunting. As the oldest member, even if he didn't intend to, he had to take other people's thoughts into consideration.

"It doesn't matter whether he participates or not, don't waste time."

Another cold voice suddenly sounded.

Zhu Lianzhen followed the reputation and saw a young man sitting opposite him wearing a thick medical mask, covering most of his fair face, only showing a pair of eyes with no warmth but beautiful lines.

The two inadvertently looked at each other for a few seconds, and Zhu Lian really felt that he should say something at this time: "What kind of mask do you wear in the room, do you have a cold?"

The other party withdrew his gaze and said quietly: "We are in the same room with you, and the air needs to be filtered."

Before Zhu Lianzhen's expression changed, Pei Qiao pressed his shoulder first, "Don't get angry as soon as you meet, it's no matter how old you are, be honest."

Pei Qiao turned on the projector and showed them the planned schedule, which was more intuitive and clear than the paper plan. "The new EP is tentatively scheduled to be released in early March, and then it will appear on the three major song shows. The announcement will run until the end of June. The concert is tentatively scheduled." Dec. 12, the debut anniversary, whether it is a single venue or a national tour, it is estimated that we will have to wait until the summer vacation to determine."

Zhu Lianzhen is most concerned about this concert. They haven’t had any group activities for two years. The other members have already transformed from idols, either filming or hosting. There is also a rapper who simply left China. regress.

As a Dancer, Zhu Lianzhen knows the importance of basic skills best. As the saying goes, "One day's practice is one day's work, and one day is not a hundred days of sky." You can half turn on the microphone to make do when you sing on stage, but there is no shortcut to dance.

However, his worries have not yet been settled, and Pei Qiao added: "As for how to determine, it depends on the development in the first half of the year. The plans in your hand start from the third page, and they are all plans for next year, but you can It's hard for us to say if it can't be launched smoothly, after all, in your current state...it's a bit difficult to get along, right?"

Although she used interrogative sentences, her tone was unquestionable, and her eyes fell on the computer. She had no interest in continuing to discuss this issue with the group members.

Zhu Lianzhen stared at the line with her tightly closed lips, then looked down at the last few pages of the proposal book, and then suddenly understood, "It means that we will release a new song in the first half of the year to test the water, and if the results meet the standards, let us go on tour at the end of the year?"

Pei Qiao was typing and revising the document, and it took a few seconds before she had time to "hmm", "That's okay to understand."

Zhu Lianzhen asked again: "Then what if there is no splash?"

Pei Qiao stopped her hands, looked up at him, and said, "Disband."

The two words were neither salty nor weak, and did not cause any disturbance in the conference room. Everyone, including the members of Acemon, felt that this result was logical.The answer that everyone has known for a long time can finally be announced from now on.

Zhu Lianzhen twisted the paper, and the corners were slightly sunken by his fingertips, and he was still a little puzzled, "Sister Pei, what do you mean by the 'single venue' you just said? There will definitely be a show this year? "

Pei Qiao moved the wireless mouse, clicked on the PDF of the second proposal, and replied: "If there is only one concert, then this will be Acemon's farewell concert. Letting you perform as members of the group for the last time is considered to be so persistent." Fans who have been around for many years have an explanation. How about opening a personal studio for you to focus on your own development?"

To put it bluntly, it is a great funeral for the combination.

Zhu Lianzhen threw a few pages of paper on the table without interest, and the original sense of surprise was replaced by disappointment.

But the focus of his regret is not Acemon, but that a single venue cannot meet his needs.After his solo career, he has performed in venues large and small. However, the fans of solo artists are limited. Although the popularity continues to rise, the company and he are not sure that they can successfully hold a national tour.

It is not impossible to only pick small and medium-sized venues for tour, and it will definitely make money doing so.However, as a member of Acemon, he toured Asia with the group in two years since his debut. It is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. This kind of comparison between today and the past really hurts his self-esteem. For three days in a row.

Pei Qiao stood up and made her voice more penetrating: "Let me tell you about the new song first. The five songs in the EP were all in stock two years ago. "Shake" has been taken to the GK studio for revision. I'll let you know when I leave..."

Zhu Lian really tends to get distracted when listening to her talk, Pei Qiao is nothing more than explaining the plan in detail, just like a teacher who reads from the script, as long as they accept the information obediently, they can ask for advice if they have questions, but they cannot challenge the authority.

The discussion lasted for more than two hours, and most of the important points were explained. Zhu Lianzhen kept shaking his neck to relieve fatigue.He couldn't say how tired he was, anyway, sitting quietly next to Tanqing, he felt that his energy was draining, as if he had been sucked by a vixen.

The meeting ended, Zhu Lianzhen lowered her hair and sent a text message to tell A Xu to pick her up, but Pei Qiao didn't intend to leave, and said, "Zhu Lianzhen, let's talk about love, you two stay here for a while."

Zhu Lianzhen's fingers stiffened, feeling ominous.

Soon, only the three of them and the staff from the planning department were left in the house.Pei Qiao turned off the projector and computer, and cut straight to the point: "I'll just ask you one thing, and answer honestly—you two haven't been in a relationship before, have you?"

This question came so unexpectedly that Zhu Lian was really stunned.

The secret that had been hidden in his heart for several years was abruptly brought to the surface, and his confidence disappeared in an instant.He didn't even consider the option of lying, his lips were slightly parted in astonishment, and he automatically answered honestly: "It's been a long time ago——"

The cold back of his hand was suddenly covered with warmth, and at the same time, the voice of love completely overwhelmed his answer: "I have always been single."

Zhu Lian really held her breath, her wrist was gently pinched by Tan Qing.He turned his face to look, saw Tan Qing calmly smiled and asked himself: "Xiao Zhu should be too busy to fall in love, right?"

The two people's eyes briefly met, Zhu Lianzhen's mind was shaken by that smile, and the blocked thoughts finally came to light.It turned out that what Pei Qiao asked was whether the two of them had ever talked about love, but he understood it ambiguously and almost pleaded guilty.

"Of course not." He breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys are much more worry-free than the captain." Pei Qiao was very relieved, and she didn't see the guilty conscience on Zhu Lianzhen's face at all, "Ji Yunting has been entangled with his ex-girlfriend recently, please keep an eye on him, don't do stupid things again .”

"Okay." Tan Qing agreed, and let go of Zhu Lianzhen's wrist calmly.

Pei Qiao continued: "It's nothing to look for you two. There were a lot of group announcements in the first half of the year. Take a look at the situation and do business properly. I looked at the trending search this morning, and the fans are looking forward to your reconciliation. The entry was actually posted by them, and we didn't do any marketing at all."

Sure enough, it is necessary to tie CP with Tanqing again, which is a common tactic used to stabilize popularity in the past.Zhu Lian was really reluctant, and said, "Sister Pei, I'm taking the route of a straight man of steel, and it's not appropriate to sell rot."

"Straight man route?" Pei Qiao looked at him suspiciously, "Do you have a girlfriend fan? Why didn't I know?"

Zhu Lianzhen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, as soon as I post on Weibo, they rush to call me 'husband'."

"I don't believe it." Pei Qiao took out her phone and clicked on Zhu Lianzhen's Weibo to check the authenticity.

The most recent selfie is of him hugging a pet cat, cheek to cheek, very warm and intimate.Pei Qiao flipped through the hot reviews and read them out to Zhu Lianzhen——

"The milkman finally posted a selfie! The man next to him gave way and blocked the camera."

"Why didn't Lianlian write this time? Black fans say you are illiterate, so I can't explain it."

"See, this is the result of you not allowing us to control the comments. Everyone only likes some comments that embarrass you."

……

As we all know, Zhu Lianzhen only has cat fans, fake fans and stepmother fans.

He grabbed Pei Qiao's phone screen and said with a sneer: "New year and new atmosphere, do things like CP have to be updated? My relationship with you is a waste of time, why don't you think about Koty and Fu Rong, Koty is open for business Definitely positive."

Pei Qiao waved her hand, "Fu Rong hates having physical contact with others, have you forgotten? The mental cleanliness is too serious, and even doctors can't cure it."

The method of pulling teammates into the water didn't work, so Zhu Lianzhen had no choice but to talk about love: "The fans who are talking about love can't accept CP, right? If you let him rot, you won't let me be scolded together with him in the end."

"The fan public opinion company can control it, don't worry. Letting you act in front of the camera, it's not a real relationship, what's so awkward?"

Pei Qiao talked too much today, and her throat was sore. She frowned and added: "And you don't know, the team of female artists often buys drafts when talking about love. Do you know the heroine who played "Autumn Banquet"? This sister It's really awesome, the award ceremony wore a skirt that was easy to lose, and he kindly helped her to block it, but he came back and wrote that his eyes were full of possessiveness, his restless heart couldn't hold back, he could only lick his lips in embarrassment, who is this? Can you bear it? Just look at a dog in love with that look, you can't poke your eyes blind to avoid suspicion."

Zhu Lianzhen sympathetically laughed twice, looked up at Tanqing, and said meaningfully: "Sister Pei, you think too much, what if Tanqing really likes him?"

Tan Qing raised her eyelids slightly, and replied with a smile: "I prefer those who are younger than me."

The arc of Zhu Lianzhen's mouth was fleeting, he looked away coldly, suddenly felt that such a flirtatious talk was really boring.

After all, Tanqing seems to have no negative emotions such as "anger" by nature. No matter what angle others try to ridicule from, Tanqing can deal with it gracefully and calmly, never giving negative feedback, just like a perfect smile machine.

"Ah... I have a headache, I won't tell you anymore, I still have to talk about advertisements." Pei Qiao rubbed her tired brows, and searched for eye drops, "The meeting is over, and you can send emails anytime if you have something to do."

Zhu Lianzhen also sighed silently, got up and left the conference room.

Five or six people took the elevator together, and it was a bit difficult to get off the ground. Zhu Lianzhen was the closest to the conversation, raised his arm and pretended to smooth his hair, and bumped him with his elbow.

The other party looked down, but there was no other response.

The elevator stopped in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the idlers to leave, Zhu Lianzhen took half a step forward, then immediately retreated and closed the elevator door, leaving the two trapped in the narrow room.

Tan Qing looked at him suspiciously at first, and then a smile extended from the corner of his eyes.

The brightness of the light in the elevator room is limited, but compared with the advertising shots, the face of Tanqing does not weaken the heroic spirit at all.His bones are extremely correct, his facial features are deep and three-dimensional with a slight sense of mixed blood, and his eyes are extraordinarily pure, which just neutralizes the style of the outline of the eyes, so that the eyes are no longer too aggressive, and it is easier to win the favor of others.

This is what Zhu Lian really bothers him the most now, he laughs before he says anything, and never sees the corners of his mouth drooping all day long.It's just a disguise in front of the camera, Zhu Lian is really upset that she has to put on such a pose even in front of herself.

"Why don't you object?" Zhu Lianzhen raised an eyebrow and asked him.

Tan Qing slowly replied: "Sister Pei's arrangements are all reasonable, I believe her."

Zhu Lianzhen: "But I don't believe you."

The smile on Tan Qing's face gradually faded, and she said "Xiao Zhu" in a low voice, her tone sounded particularly lost: "I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you missed me a little bit."

started again.

Zhu Lianzhen has a deep understanding of Tanqing's oblique words. Normal people would directly say "I miss you" when expressing their miss, but Tanqing deliberately hides herself and first tests the attitude of the other party.

Zhu Lianzhen still maintained a strong expression: "Don't pretend to be pitiful to me just because there is a camera in the elevator. Miss you? What can I miss you? I miss you being threatened by an illegitimate child and keep hiding it from me, or I miss you seducing me while standing still. Torii?"

Tan Qing bowed her head in silence and turned her body sideways. Such a small movement caused the perfume molecules to spread rapidly in the air.Zhu Lian really hates this elegant and powerful smell, like a garden that is ostentatious in the middle of the night, relying on the sweet and mellow breath to hide its attacking instinct.

So he kept a distance from Tanqing, stood in another corner of the elevator, and complained helplessly: "I really don't understand, what is the attraction between us? It's 2020, and there are people who are 'sincere'" It’s called, even the company doesn’t know how to replace it.”

Tan Qing stared at the gray buttons, and murmured, "Perhaps people like to miss the past."

"This shows that the current situation is bad." Zhu Lianzhen dismissed his answer, "So, what should we do now, don't we really oppose the business with the company?"

Talking silently, Zhu Lianzhen followed suit, and the elevator was completely silent.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Lianzhen finally spoke again: "Boss Chu has given us a chance, of course we can't disappoint his trust, but what if those photos are found again..."

"Mr. Chu said it's been cleaned up, don't worry." Tan Qing lowered her head and stroked her cold watch, "All those in the phone, in the camera, all network disks and cloud backups, all places that can be saved have been completely deleted."

Zhu Lianzhen frowned, "Oh".

If the atmosphere between them has developed to the current situation, it cannot escape the relationship with those photos.Two years ago, Zhu Lianzhen had conflicts with the team because of the relationship, and they should have reconciled within a few days of the cold war, but one day they were called by the boss of the company to drink tea, and Zhu Lianzhen saw a bunch of sneak photos from the illegitimate meal.

In the photo, he and Tan Qing are kissing in a car, and the background is the villa where they lived together secretly.

This underground love affair was completely exposed.

After talking with Mr. Chu, Zhu Lianzhen knew that Tanqing had received these sneak photos a long time ago, but she kept it from him.The illegitimate fan threatened to make the relationship public or break up.

But neither option was chosen.

Of course, the illegitimate student would not let it go, she was paranoid and directly sent the photo to the private mailbox of the CEO of Zuige Entertainment, thinking that this would severely punish the two idols.

It's a pity that she was wrong. Although Drunk Song Entertainment has very strict requirements on artists, Acemon is an exception. This group has been favored by the boss since the trainee period, especially Zhu Lianzhen has high hopes from the company's executives, no matter what mistakes they make. , as long as they don't violate public order and good customs, President Chu is willing to protect them.

However, this does not mean that the company allows the two to have "in-team romance".In today's era when the social atmosphere is not open enough and the public is extremely harsh on the idol industry, this can almost be regarded as a scandal.

If "idols fall in love during their rising period" will definitely cause an uproar and impact the group's career, then the "same-sex teammates kissing in private" incident will definitely be out of control.

The sudden reduction in resources and the loss of the team's reputation can barely make up for it in the short term, but the public's attitude towards them may be irreparable. Even if fans are willing to tolerate and understand, they will definitely continue to be subject to private prying and harassment in the future, and they will never be outdated by the entertainment media. Lok Road topic.

They simply cannot bear the consequences of this level, and the most responsible way for the interests of the team is to break up with each other.

Therefore, Mr. Chu played the role of fighting mandarin ducks on the sidelines, and gave the two of them a chance to break up peacefully.

Afterwards, Zhu Lianzhen was furious at Tan Qing. The reason for his anger was simple. On the one hand, Tan Qing had been harassed by an illegitimate child, but he concealed it. This was a sign of distrust; on the other hand, his own affairs were out of his control , Zhu Lian really hates this feeling of powerlessness the most.

And there is no justification when talking about love, except for apologizing, there is only an apology, and all faults are blamed on themselves.

At that time, Zhu Lianzhen asked him why they couldn't figure out a solution together.

Talking about love, but asking back: "Aside from breaking up, is there a better solution for you?"

They all know, no.

The correct answer is already in front of you, and no one will keep the wrong option.

……

"It's not impossible for CP to be open." Zhu Lianzhen took a glance at the chat, and before he could say "but we must keep a distance in private", the two of them clearly heard movement outside the elevator at the same time.

As soon as he raised his head, the door slowly opened to both sides.

Standing outside the elevator, Ah Xu immediately calmed down when he saw Zhu Lianzhen, "You figured it out! You didn't answer the phone, I thought you ran away by yourself again."

She took out a pair of AirPods and handed them over, "I found the baby earphones, can I be efficient?"

She seemed to be asking for credit, but the things hadn't been returned to their original owners yet, but she saw a terrifying murderous look in Zhu Lianzhen's eyes.Glancing again, he found an extremely handsome man standing next to him, who seemed to be in love without glasses.

A Xu keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly put away the corners of his smug mouth.

Zhu Lianzhen walked out as if nothing had happened, glanced perfunctorily at the earphone case in her hand, and said, "You got the wrong pair, not this one."

A Xu subconsciously thought that he had made a mistake in his work, "Didn't you mean to find the one you carried with you, is there anything else?"

"Of course there are other things." Zhu Lian really squeezed his eyes at A Xu, "Who still uses such an old one, throw it away."

Ah Xu immediately understood that the boss's attitude towards this pair of earphones was different from before, and the only concern at this time was that the presence of a romantic relationship showed that the thing had something to do with him.

I'm afraid the earphones are just for love, not fans.

She looked to the side, and it happened to be a trash can.If I really threw it in for Zhu Lianzhen, I would be forced to fish it out after a while, why not——

"Why don't you give it to me, it's a pity to throw it away." Tan Qing said to her gently.

A Xu was taken aback, "Huh?"

Zhu Lianzhen had already walked several steps with her back turned to them, and when she heard Tan Qing's words, she couldn't help but stop in her steps.

He wanted to stop the assistant, but the moment he turned around, he watched Tanqing's fingers reach for Axu's palm, and simply took the earphones away.

"Thank you," Tan Qing looked at the shell with a smile, "It's my birthday present from Xiaozhu."
