Chapter 112 Let's Be a Team
"In addition, I would like to inform you that Lee Hwan-hee, who has been absent for a week, will no longer be a member of the Super Girls project according to company regulations. I hope you will take this as a warning. The company is not an amusement park where you can come and go as you please. Okay, continue training!"
Yu Yongzhen ignored the girls whose expressions changed drastically, and turned to walk up to Jin Yingmin, patted him on the shoulder and said lightly: "Yingmin, it seems that you are standing in the wrong position this time, but... there is still a chance now!"
After saying this, Yu Yongzhen ignored Kim Youngmin's changed expression and left the practice room.
As an old man who came from the same industry as Lee Soo-man and a true giant in the Korean music industry, although Yu Yong-jin does not hold a powerful management position in the company, his status is like that of an honorary elder or a powerful guest official in many martial arts sects. In addition, he is a long-time servant of SM. With Kim Young-min's current status, he has no ability to resist at all.
In addition, with the return of Lee Soo-man, Kim Young-min was extremely confused. Originally, he should have been considered Lee Soo-man's man, but this time, due to the instigation of Pyo Inbong and others, he did do some things that violated the company's principles to some extent.
In just one month, with Kim Young-min turning a blind eye, Kim Kyung-wook took away six older trainees who had talent but had never been given opportunities.
There is also Park In-jeong, the girl that Kim Kyung-wook specifically asked for. He always found reasons to give her the lowest score in every assessment, saying that it was because his expectations were too high, so the standards were different.
But the current situation is that Park In-jeong has really made a breakthrough, but at the same time has become out of control. It seems that this girl has achieved some kind of enlightenment.
Thinking of the terrifying Lee Soo Man, Kim Young Min had no intention of staying here any longer. But before leaving, he still glanced at Park In Jung, who was standing aside with a calm expression different from the others, and sighed in his heart. Instead of lamenting the fate of others, it is better to think about his own.
"It's over. What should I do after three days?"
Suddenly, a miserable "wail" was heard in the quiet practice room.
"Lin Yoona, keep your voice down. Do you want to attract the teachers back?" Kim Hyoyeon patted Lin Yoona's back and said dissatisfiedly.
The beautiful girl with a pure appearance and many fans on the Internet is Lin Yuner, as Kim Hyoyeon calls her. At this moment, she said with a sad face: "For such an important test, there are only three days to prepare. How can this be enough!"
Quan Yuri, who was standing in front of her, also turned around and sighed helplessly, "Yoon-ah is right, three days is too short, and this assessment is so important, but... we should be worried about Hwan-hee now!"
"Xiaoxian, have you called Hwan-hee? Why hasn't the kid come back yet?" Park In-jeong also came over and stood in front of Seohyun and said worriedly. Knowing that Lee Hwan-hee blamed himself for that incident and didn't come back for a week after leaving the company, everyone was very worried, especially Park In-jeong.
Xu Xian was a little excited at the moment, and her face looked very unhappy. Hearing the questions from her seniors, Xu Xian could only say sadly: "She didn't answer my call. I called her home, and Huanxi's mother said that she ran back to her grandparents in the countryside. Now I can't find her at all!"
"Ah, it's all my fault. If I hadn't participated in such a boring competition with Kim Hyun-A, none of this would have happened!" Kim Hyoyeon's face looked very ugly. She spoke self-reproachfully, her fists clenched tightly, and she looked extremely regretful.
Seeing the girls gathered together again after a few words , Jessica Jung, who was standing near the door, frowned. She turned her head and looked at the five people gathered in the middle who were getting more and more noisy. Finally, she couldn't help but shouted, "Enough!"
Jessica Jung's loud voice scared everyone. Kim Hyoyeon and others turned their heads in shock. Kim Taeyeon, Hwang Miyoung, and Lee Sunkyu also looked over in surprise.
Jessica Jung with a sullen face has been a trainee of SM for seven years. She has the longest seniority in this preparatory group. As for the paratrooper who is said to have trained for nine years, if we really want to talk about it, he is the last in terms of seniority based on the time he has practiced in SM.
"Hwan Hee's situation cannot be changed by arguing. You have seen the attitude of Mr. Yu Yongzhen just now. I don't want to repeat anything, but now please understand the situation. You, including me, all of us may leave here like Hwan Hee in three days, leave this group, and even leave this company. I don't want to be the one who leaves, and I hope... you don't!"
After saying this coldly, Jessica turned around and walked aside to do some stretching exercises.
Looking at herself in the floor-length mirror in front of her, Jessica gritted her teeth and said to herself: "I must succeed. Now I am alone!"
Jessica Jung's words made Kim Hyo-yeon a little angry, but when she saw Kwon Yuri and others lowering their heads, she suddenly felt a little discouraged, because Jessica Jung was right, the assessment three days later was really not that simple. Although Teacher Yu Yongzhen had a high position in the company, he was usually very kind, but today was completely different. He said that losers leave the group , and he said it with absolute certainty. Once you fail in the assessment, what awaits you is a bubble...
The dream that I had always held on to turned into bubbles and scattered in the air.
The atmosphere in the room was a little silent. While Kim Taeyeon was sad about Lee Hwan-hee being kicked out of the company, she was actually still worried about "Ode to Joy".
Huang Miying and Xu Xian had red eyes, and the mood of the others was also extremely low.
Lee Sun-kyu, who has been in the group for almost a month, does not have very close contact with these girls, but she can understand their attitude towards her.
This is normal. No matter if I have been a trainee in other companies for nine years, to these girls, I am like a stranger who pried open their door and became a member of their new family. If they can accept me quickly, they would be really stupid.
Kim Taeyeon looked at Lee Sunkyu as if she sensed something, and felt a little strange because she saw that Lee Sunkyu seemed to move.
Lee Sun-kyu sees a lot of problems now, especially at this moment, she has some words that she really wants to say, because only in this way can she get through the current crisis, not for others, but more because she doesn't want to wait any longer.
The longer you wait for your dreams to come true, the greater the disappointment will be and the empty you will feel inside. You must not miss this opportunity.
Lee Sunkyu took a step forward, mustering up her courage...
“Xiu-yeon is right!”
Park In-jeong suddenly spoke, and Lee Soon-kyu's courage, which had just been mustered, instantly fell back into her stomach. She shook her head helplessly and looked at the other party.
"Aren't we a group? A group should be a team, a collective, right?"
Lee Sun-kyu's eyes suddenly widened and a feeling of joy welled up in her heart. Although now was not the time to be happy, Park In-jeong's words surprised her because this was exactly what she wanted to say.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Park In-jung. Although Park In-jung's qualifications were not the oldest among the girls, everyone recognized her ability. In addition, Park In-jung was also a standout in this preparatory group with many friends of the same age. Born in 1987, she was also the oldest in the team. Therefore , after a long time of getting along with her, coupled with her age and ability, many people in the group were convinced by her, even Jessica Jung, who had once competed fiercely with her, stood up.
In fact, Park In-jeong had already made up her mind. She made the decision from the day she returned home. But even so, she did not want to retreat like a loser. On the contrary, her choice was to fight once in the torrent.
"I know, everyone is different, no matter where you look at it!"
Park In-jeong's words sounded a little strange, but the girls listened carefully.
"But it is precisely because of this that we are who we are today and why we joined this group. Maybe the relationship between each of us is not so perfect, and there are even people who dislike each other, but this cannot change the fact that we are a team now!"
Park In-jeong's last words were so decisive and thought-provoking, like the morning bell and evening drum, that the girls gradually looked at each other.
Park Injeong temporarily forgot about Lee Hwan-hee at this moment, because Jessica Jung was right, they were all in danger now.
At this moment, Park In-jeong finally realized that she was a reserve captain. People who live in confusion and struggle find it difficult to see themselves clearly and everything around them. Park In-jeong, who has already awakened, has finally changed and understood the responsibilities that everyone should have.
Looking at her teammates who she had been with day and night, all showing reflection and different expressions, Park In-jeong stretched out her hands and clapped them heavily.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
"Let's work together once, no matter how much dissatisfaction there is, no matter how much we dislike each other, let's become a team, like a group, like a team, we can move forward and retreat together. It doesn't matter if we are not friends, as long as we can become real teammates. From this time on, this is also my request, I hope to perform with everyone once, and then..."
"I'll get out of here!"
