Gu Bai had no idea that someone was already scheming against him, and he continued to play adult games with Jung Soo-yeon every day.

As for the Rocket 111 Group, under Lee Boo-jin's arrangement, they were training at the S·M Company. Only Wu Xuanyi stayed behind at the hotel, trying several times to apologize to Gu Bai but couldn't even see him once.

Now Wu Xuanyi was almost regretting her choices, thinking for a long time in her hotel room over the past few days, she finally realized where she went wrong.

The mistake was taking herself too seriously, thinking that once she clung to Gu Bai, he wouldn't be able to live without her. It wasn't until she heard about what happened at S·M Company from the other members of the Creation 111 girl group returning from training that she truly understood her position in Gu Bai's heart.

She was dispensable.

That's right, dispensable.

In terms of looks, Wu Xuanyi wasn't the top tier, but rather above average.

As long as Gu Bai wanted, artists like Jung Soo-yeon, Zheng Xiujing, and Lin Yun'Er, who had debuted for many years and could be considered the top girl group idols, for Gu Bai, it was just four words.

At his beck and call.

So what could Wu Xuanyi, a newly debuted minor figure, count for? Moreover, even her debut opportunity was given by Gu Bai, so she didn't even have the qualification to make any demands.

However, when she figured it all out, it was already too late, too late for Gu Bai had lost interest in her.

Perhaps one day if Gu Bai remembered her, she might still have a slight chance to enjoy the resources he provided, but for now, all she could do was wait.

Meanwhile, Lee Boo-jin's assistant was taking Zheng Xiujing and Lin Yun'Er from S·M Company to the Shilla Hotel.

In the car, Zheng Xiujing and Lin Yun'Er sat beside Lee Boo-jin's assistant, appearing somewhat nervous and uncertain about what was going to happen.

"No need to be nervous, you two are the top idol artists in our Goryeo, and Mr. Gu is very interested in you, which is why the president invited you to be his tour guides. This can only bring benefits to you, no downsides."

As Lee Boo-jin's assistant, Jin Huixi spoke and took out two checks from her briefcase, handing them to Zheng Xiujing and Lin Yun'Er.

"These are two checks for 1 billion won each (equivalent to RMB 184 million:1), which Mr. Gu entrusted me to give to you as your remuneration in advance. All you need to do is accompany him for a while, and this money will be yours."

The two first glanced at the two huge checks in front of them, then looked up at each other.

Though 1 billion won might not be astronomical to them, it's still significant. Take Lin Yun'Er's group, Girls' Generation, for example, during their peak fame in 2014, their annual revenue was 36 billion won.

But S·M Company's contracts have always been known for exploiting artists the most heavily, with a 3:7 split between the company and the artist. So the whole team only got about 10 billion won to divide among them, which meant each member got approximately 1 billion, after taxes and other deductions, it amounted to just what Gu Bai offered.

In other words, the 1 billion won Gu Bai offered was Lin Yun'Er's income at her peak in 2014.

Not to mention Zheng Xiujing's f(x) has always been lukewarm.

In an instant, the two checks moved them.

Seeing the two's moved expressions, Jin Huixi smiled lightly.

Even though she was just a small assistant, being Lee Boo-jin's assistant meant she had seen much more of the world than they had. Not to mention a mere 1 billion won, she had dealt with far more massive sums. Though internally she disdained it, she didn't forget the task Lee Boo-jin gave her, so she forcibly placed the checks into their hands.

"Since you've both sat in this car, it means you're not resisting, so go ahead and take these two checks."

Zheng Xiujing and Lin Yun'Er exchanged another glance but said nothing more, each placing the checks carefully into their bags.

Seeing the two put away the checks, Jin Huixi continued to smile contentedly.

"I have to say, you two are very wise. Getting even a slight connection with Mr. Gu will only bring you limitless benefits in the future. For instance, this 1 billion won may seem like a huge sum now, but once you stay around Mr. Gu longer, you'll realize that mere 1 billion is nothing to him."

Lin Yun'Er, having debuted longer and being older, compared to Zheng Xiujing, had more cunning. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help asking: "Assistant Jin, could you perhaps tell us a little bit about Mr. Gu's identity?"

Jin Shanxi's originally smiling face turned cold instantly upon hearing Lin Yun'Er's question. She glanced at her and said, "Is that something you need to know? Or do you think President Lee Boo-jin's attitude toward Mr. Gu at S·M Company was just an act?"

Seeing Jin Shanxi's serious expression, Lin Yun'Er was startled, thinking she might have asked something taboo, quickly explaining, "Assistant Jin, I didn't mean that, I just..."

But before Lin Yun'Er could finish, Jin Shanxi interrupted: "I know what you mean, but I'd advise you that there are things you don't need to inquire too much about; it's not beneficial to you.

However, since you want to know, I'll give you a little hint."
