"Ah, a business trip?"

Xu Wenqian, caught off guard by the sudden news, asked in confusion, "Where to?"

"Korea, Seoul."

"Oh... huh?!"

Xu Wenqian nodded at first but then realized something was off.

After all, Wangzhou Group’s business seemed not to have expanded abroad yet, and the boss just had an incident, so why would she go to Korea, which is related? What is going on?

At this point, Jiang Qingkui stopped hiding the truth and said directly:

"You and the international team from Yunshangyun Law Firm will go to help Mr. Zhou receive shares from a new company. You have experience with this sort of thing, so I’m handing it over to you... According to Qi Jiayi, Mr. Zhou might also go there later on."

"Oh, I see."

Xu Wenqian understood now, but she still had many doubts, "Why would the boss suddenly acquire a foreign company?"

"Probably because... that company is called YG Entertainment."

Jiang Qingkui said with a somewhat peculiar expression.

"YG Entertainment?"

Xu Wenqian muttered to herself and then exclaimed in shock, "Isn’t that the company behind BlackPink..."

"Apparently, we were worrying in vain for him."

Jiang Qingkui shrugged, stretched her body, and walked forward, then suddenly stopped, laughed, and said, "Just to refute a rumor, it’s worth such a big fuss? I suspect he has other intentions toward those four girls..."

Watching Jiang Qingkui walk into the bathroom, soon the faint sound of water started to echo, while Xu Wenqian, after a momentary daze, suddenly remembered something and quickly picked up her phone.

Sure enough, just during their conversation, the trending search list on Weibo had changed again.

"BlackPink deletes post"

"YG Entertainment refutes rumors"

These two very eye-catching terms, though not yet in the top ten trending, had already secured a firm place on the list.

Xu Wenqian hurriedly clicked on related searches, and indeed, all comment sections had exploded long ago, with the top-ranking comments uniformly being:

"???"

...

Earlier.

In Korea, Seoul, Mapo District.

A building designed with a unique black cube stood at the street corner at dusk, serving as a prominent landmark in the area.

This was precisely the headquarters of YG Entertainment in Korea.

As one of Korea’s "Big Three" entertainment companies, YG Entertainment possessed Korea’s top-tier artist lineup, a giant in the industry without a doubt.

Its artists include the "Korean Wave Emperor," BIGBANG, the world-class girl group BLACKPINK, and the popular solo singer Jeon So-mi, among others.

Psy, who became famous worldwide, had previously emerged from this company, only now he has established his own.

Within the lounge on one floor of YG Entertainment, Lisa and Jin Zhixiu sat here; Lisa was doing yoga on a thin blanket, her well-defined figure revealing in the tight-fitting yoga outfit, and due to being soaked with sweat, certain areas of the shape were particularly vivid, making the scene quite alluring.

However, Jin Zhixiu, sitting on the sofa and also being a woman, clearly showed no interest in the scene but kept scrolling the phone incessantly.

Due to the outbreak of public opinion, to be able to respond promptly to any accident, all four girls of BLACKPINK had canceled all their notifications, as per the company’s instructions, staying at the company throughout the day, waiting for things to settle down.

By this time, the sky had already turned completely dark, and online public opinion, fueled by the public relations company’s collaboration with YG Entertainment, was developing completely in a favorable direction for them.

If nothing unexpected happened, soon their manager would notify them to go home.

"Jisoo, you’ve been seeming a bit unsettled all day today, you’re usually more diligent than I am..."

Now, Lisa, arching her back like a sly fox, spoke.

"I’m just feeling... uneasy."

Jin Zhixiu pursed her lips and said, "We might completely ruin someone else’s life."

"Saying ruin a life might be going too far; after all, he’s quite wealthy, but it should certainly cause a lot of trouble for that Zhou Wang."

Lisa paused, somewhat amazed, and said, "But speaking of, Zhou Wang is indeed impressive. I never imagined he’s younger than us and yet already a bona fide billionaire..."

Before the outbreak of public opinion, they actually didn’t know much about Zhou Wang, and it was only when he was "doxxed" that they learned about his identity.

Even though what they saw wasn’t all about Zhou Wang, merely the surface information was enough to be shocking.

Jin Zhixiu also sighed, "Yes, it’s fortunate that he’s just a billionaire from Huaxia, not a financial tycoon from Korea, or else the company wouldn’t dare to defame him, would it?"

While the two girls were chatting, the lounge door unexpectedly burst open, and the manager Sister Lin hurriedly walked in.

"Oh, so you two are here. Quick, President Jin has suddenly called an emergency meeting, Jenny and Rose are already in the meeting room, just waiting for you now."

"Emergency meeting?"

As they got up, both girls were a bit puzzled.

"It should be regarding this public opinion incident and any subsequent arrangements."

Sister Lin’s face looked cheerful, "At this stage, public opinion is already one-sided. Though Mr. Zhou posted a video domestically, it might have some effect but surely won’t impact Korea. If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll be able to resume your normal work schedule tomorrow..."

Sister Lin chatted leisurely while leading the two girls to a small meeting room on the other side of the hallway.

Simplistic in style, the meeting room, with numerous posters hanging on the walls, indeed had Jenny and Rose already seated, both girls seemed relaxed, and Jenny was even showing Rose her freshly manicured nails.

Once all four girls sat down, Rose casually remarked, "So hungry, Jisoo, Lisa, should we go for some barbecue later?"

"I don’t have much appetite..."

Jin Zhixiu shook her head quickly.

Being more familiar with her, Jenny immediately understood her thoughts and frowned, "Jisoo, why should you feel any mental burden? It’s clearly Zhou Wang’s own fault, not ours."

"But we really fabricated a lot of defamatory facts about him, didn’t we? Besides, we really did miss the meeting then..."

Jisoo couldn’t help but softly refute.

"Alright."

Seeing a trend of arguing between the two girls, Sister Lin promptly interrupted them, "The matter is already over, what’s the point of debating this? Now we just need to wait for the company..."

Sister Lin’s slow-paced words were yet to finish when the meeting room door abruptly opened, and a group of about five or six people strode in.

Following behind were assistants and secretaries, but upon seeing the two figures at the front, Sister Lin and the four girls were startled, quickly standing up and greeting respectfully.

"Vice President An, President Jin!"

President Jin was responsible for overseeing YG Entertainment’s daily operations, holding a position akin to an executive vice president in domestic enterprises; they assumed this meeting would be led by President Jin, but they never anticipated that Vice President An from the board would also be present.

Compared to the board member Vice President An, the usually high-ranking President Jin was obviously just an employee.

Thus, now, President Jin stood respectfully to the side, while Vice President An walked to the main seat, his hand pressed on the conference table, speaking coldly:

"Two things."

"First, immediately delete all posts you released today, especially Jenny and Rose; the company needs you to collaborate in releasing a personal post again, specific content will be sent to your phone by President Jin shortly."

The first sentence left the four girls a bit dumbfounded.

Rose asked confusedly, "Why delete them? The posts we made are quite effective, with fans supporting us, Zhou Wang..."

"Shut up!"

Who knew Rose’s words would be abruptly cut short, receiving a merciless scolding from Vice President An, whose expression had drastically changed, "Is Chairman Zhou’s name something you can simply call?"

Chairman Zhou?

The four girls were even more bewildered, utterly confused.

Yet Vice President An showed no concern for their understanding, only glaring at Sister Lin with a somber face, "Lin XiuZhen, due to your unauthorized use of BlackPink’s official account to publish false statements, defaming the chairman’s reputation and causing severe impacts to the company, you have been fired, and the company reserves the right to pursue all legal responsibilities against you!"

"What?!"

Sister Lin was full of disbelief.

At this point, it seemed she also realized something.

Defaming chairman’s reputation... Chairman Zhou...

Connecting these terms together, there seemed to be only one explanation.

But how is this possible?

The Huaxia youth named Zhou Wang suddenly became the chairman of YG Entertainment?!

What intergalactic joke is this...?
