Peninsula Asteroid

"A lot less?"

Lin Nalian blinked and repeated the word. After thinking about it, her eyes rounded up and she said in disbelief: "Isn't 78 billion a lot less?"

Originally she thought this number was completely exaggerated, but she didn't expect it to be 'a lot less? ’

After a few seconds of silence, she gasped and gasped. She didn't know what she was thinking of, but she wrinkled her nose and said, "Bragging!"

"Ha ha……"

Yu Dingyan smiled when he saw her expression, and poked her bulging cheek with his index finger: "What's the point of bragging about this kind of thing... And Oppa Jingyuan doesn't have the habit of bragging. Do you think..."

"But I heard agent Oppa say that GOT7's revenue of more than 10 billion last year is considered very high." Lin Nayeon retorted plausibly.

"what are you talking about?"

Glancing at the surroundings cautiously, Yu Dingyan looked at her speechlessly and lowered his voice a little: "GOT... How do GOT7 and XO compare? Although they are very good in Fan Oppa, but... these two combinations are simply not the same. It’s not the same level, right?”

"But I remember that our company's revenue last year was less than 50 billion, right?" Lin Nalian has a good memory.

"Forehead……"

Yu Dingyan was a little speechless. After thinking about it, he still said it with a strange expression: "Although I really don't want to say it... our company is not on the same level as SM."

"Okay, Yu Dingyan, you traitor!"

Lin Nalian's eyes widened, and she finally found the undercover agent who had been lurking beside her for many years. Her momentum instantly increased: "Then Yu Dingyan can go to SM. Now, on behalf of Twice, I will fire you!"

As she spoke, she kept pushing Yu Dingyan with her hands, looking extremely angry and disgusted, and righteously purged the traitors.

"Go and check the stock price yourself. The market value is several notches lower... Who do I have to say?"

Although he was used to Lin Nalian's childishness, he was still a little helpless. Yu Dingyan resisted the opponent's offensive and continued without giving up: "And according to Jingyuan Oppa, this 78 billion is just EXO's team revenue, not Counting personal share..."

"..."

"Jingyan, come here."

The two of them were making trouble when they suddenly heard a shout from the assistant not far away. Yu Dingyan hurriedly separated from the naive girl, straightened his hair and walked over.

Seeing the little sisters leaving, Lin Nalian felt a little bored after having no one to play with. She took out her mobile phone and continued to read the news. She didn't know what she thought of. She turned her lips up and hummed softly:

"It's just bragging!"

…………

"Nearly 80 billion. Excluding the company, each of the nine people should have several billions equally..."

"Jingyuan Oppa and the others have the highest income among all the idols, right? And it seems that it doesn't count personal income... Mina, Unnie, do you know how much Jingyuan Oppa can get?"

Sun Caiying stared at the news on her phone and said something in wonder, and then asked extremely curiously.

"have no idea……"

Najingnan shook his head.

She also saw the news, but in comparison, she was not as surprised and excited as others.

She had known that her boyfriend was very rich and that he had a good family background. Last time when he and his brother were on the phone, she heard some incomprehensible figures like "tens or hundreds of properties", but She has never asked similar topics.

Because she and Chi Jingyuan haven't been dating for a long time, it's okay to give each other some gifts, but it's still not very convenient when it comes to things like income and family background.

Although she doesn't like him enough, Mingnan is still very measured in this regard and knows that the relationship between lovers needs to be gradually accumulated.

However, Mingjing Nan really hopes and looks forward to the two of them slowly developing to this point... It's not because of the financial relationship, but because she really wants to have the opportunity in the future to bring her boyfriend to meet her. Family, my mother, father, and yes, my brother.

She attaches great importance to family and relatives, and when she thinks of that scene, she feels a little excited, and a full sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

"80 billion to 80 billion... How about Chaeyoung, find an XO member as your boyfriend?"

Listening to Son Chaeyoung talking in a sticky voice, full of the childish envy of a child, Minatozaki Saka couldn't help but laugh, and joked in a high-pitched voice: "Your ideal type is not someone who has an interesting personality. He’s the type, and he also likes rap... Let me think about it, what do you think of Chanyeol Xi?”

"Oppa Chanyeol..."

Hearing what she said, Sun Caiying looked up and actually started to think about it, looking like she was taking it seriously.

Just a few seconds later, the corner of her mouth turned down, her expression collapsed, and she shook her head helplessly: "No, Oppa Chanyeol is pretty good. He is a member of XO. He is very interesting and handsome... But when compared with Jingyuan Oppa, I always feel that he is a lot worse, especially when he is a member of XO, it is even more obvious.”

She pursed her lips and began to ramble again: "Although I...may not be as good-looking as Mina Unnie, but we are both Twice after all. If we are dating...my boyfriend can't be too different from Unnie." Stay away, otherwise there will be more of that!”

Speaking of this, she spoke in a small voice, as if a little embarrassed, but still stubbornly muttered: "I am also very strong-willed!"

She really likes Mina, and likes this sister's personality. She can say some things that everyone understands but is not easy to express, and she does not mean jealousy.

"Haha..."

Sun Caiying's worried frankness and the nagging look are really cute. Mingjingnan saw the second youngest member's eyes curved, and couldn't help laughing all of a sudden, and moved closer to her in a friendly way.

Sun Caiying took the opportunity to arch her body towards Mingjingnan, complaining a little dissatisfied: "Looking at it this way, it seems that there is no male idol in the whole circle like Jingyuan Oppa... Could it be that we have to find someone outside the circle..."

"It's all Mina's fault~ It's not easy for me to find a boyfriend in the future."

The tone was complaining, but the expression and action were acting like a spoiled child, and the words she said completely touched Mingjingnan's pleasure point, making her grin so hard that her gums were exposed.

The two people next to them were in a stalemate, but Minatozaki Sana, who had brought up the topic jokingly, looked a little out of place, and the smile on her face just now seemed unnatural.

Son Chaeyoung's unintentional words inadvertently touched her heart.

She... was also very strong-willed.

But soon, she suppressed her emotions, managed her expression, showed her little white teeth, smiled and stuck close to them, listening to Son Chaeyoung and Mingjing Nan's chat, and occasionally interrupted to make a joke.

"Ah, by the way, when can we earn so much?"

"Chaeyoung, don't think about these impossible things! We are lucky to get the settlement so quickly."

"Just thinking about it, maybe... By the way, Mina, have you met Jingyuan Oppa recently?"

"Um... No, we have too many schedules and he is also very busy."

"It doesn't matter... Isn't MMA the day after tomorrow? Jingyuan Oppa and the others will definitely go, so we will see each other then."

"Yeah."

...

This Forbes ranking has become the focus of national discussion in a very short time, ranking at the top of many hot search lists, although none of them has reached the top... Because today is the college entrance examination day in the peninsula, the whole country is paying attention to the students taking the exam, and entertainment news is not inherently advantageous.

But there is still such a high amount of discussion, which is enough to show the response this news and list have caused among fans and the public.

After all, the reason why it has attracted so much attention is actually because of the worship of money. An annual income of nearly 80 billion is already a very scary number. Many well-known medium and large companies may not have such a high annual revenue.

At the same time, it is also because many people still look down on the profession of idols in their subconscious, even EXO, the top idol, is the same. Now they suddenly find that the income of idols can be so high, and they can be listed with Adele and Taylor in a well-known list like Forbes.

In the subconscious of many people in the Peninsula, these superstars are far higher than local artists. At this time, when they suddenly saw EXO's name listed with them, they couldn't help but feel a sense of shock of prejudice and doubt being slapped in the face.

Some bitterness, some dissatisfaction... but actually some pride.

EXO and bigbang have become the hottest topic in the past few days besides the college entrance examination...

Two days passed quickly, and it was the day of this year's MMA.

As the first of the four major award ceremonies in the music industry, the annual MMA can be said to be a weather vane for this year's Kpop awards, attracting the attention of fans who have been eager and looking forward to it for a long time. The voting for the Popularity Award alone has been fought online for almost a month.

...AAA may have wanted to turn the "four majors" into "five majors" this year, but it proved with its strength that it is not worthy.

However, the audience can only see the glorious side of the idols, but not the hard side.

At less than two o'clock in the morning, when the sky was deep and dark, they came to the MMA venue, Gocheok Dome, to prepare for rehearsal, but they were not the first to come, because IOI came earlier than them.

After several rounds of rehearsals, when they returned to the backstage panting, as expected by Son Chaeyoung and Mingjing Nan, they met EXO who were walking towards them.

"Aniha Saiyo..."

The nine people saluted and greeted each other, and at the same time, their eyes were naturally focused on the TOP boy group that has been discussed a lot in the past two days.

Although they had just participated in AAA together three days ago, after the extremely hot Forbes incident in the past few days, many people felt that EXO, who were originally familiar with the seniors, seemed to be covered with a layer of shining halo.

However, EXO had obviously just arrived at this time, and they were all wearing cotton-padded jackets. Many of them still looked like they hadn't woken up yet... Not as shining as imagined, and looked a little depressed and sad.

Unlike other members who observed others, some people locked their eyes on Chi Jingyuan as soon as they met, such as Zhou Ziyu and Mingjing Nan who hadn't seen her boyfriend for a few days.

There has been no chance to meet her recently, and there was no opportunity to communicate during the last AAA. She missed her boyfriend for several days. Before she came, she was still thinking about the sweet eye contact she would have if they met.

But in the bright eyes of Mingjing Nan at this time, Chi Jingyuan was carrying a shoulder bag, wearing a baseball cap and black-rimmed glasses. His face under the shadow of the hat brim looked very tired, and he seemed to have no energy. , he didn’t show any special expression after meeting Twice. He just nodded perfunctorily in front of the members’ salutes, and quickly glanced around without noticing her, as if he didn’t see her, and just followed the members. Walked behind him.

"..."

After passing by her boyfriend, Najing Nan couldn't help but pursed her lips and glanced back.

The meeting she had been looking forward to for several days ended so hastily, which made her feel a little disappointed... But at the same time, she could see that Chi Jingyuan's condition was not very good, so she felt more worried.

"Oppa Jingyuan looks so tired, he looks like he hasn't woken up." Sun Caiying leaned her head over at this time and whispered in her ear.

"Hmm~"

Chi Jingyuan, on the other hand, was so confused that he couldn't even open his eyes, and followed the team like a zombie.

In order to complete the final progress of the song "Hanabi" and to get it finalized by JYP before the anniversary, he worked overtime at the company until very late in the past two days. He also had to work and practice during the day, so he didn't get much rest at all.

And because Bae Suzy went to Hong Kong Island to shoot the solo album MV the day before yesterday, his shooting tasks for these two days were not originally heavy, but yesterday there was a temporary problem with the filming of the "Goblin" crew. In order to reshoot, he and Lee Dong Wook Some scenes of rival scenes were filmed until midnight. After rushing back to the dormitory from the set, I didn't even sleep for an hour. I was pulled up by my manager and walked to the rehearsal venue in confusion.

The rehearsal time of each group is specially arranged by the organizer according to the different situations of each group. Newcomers with lower seniority will be arranged at a not very good time period, such as Twice and IOI who have to rush over in the early morning and midnight. Typical... EXO, who had just debuted, also suffered in this way.

However, according to convention and the experience of the past two years, with EXO's current popularity and qualifications that can barely make them seniors, their rehearsal time should be a little later and should not be scheduled so early.

Maybe it’s because there are super seniors like Crystal Boy in this MMA...

At the same time, it suddenly started to rain in Seoul in the past two days, and the temperature dropped sharply. Chi Jingyuan worked overtime all night the day before yesterday. When he got up yesterday, he found that he had a cold. It has become slightly worse today. His overall condition is not good. very good.

Even if I saw my little girlfriend and Zhou Ziyu looking at her just now... I was really too lazy to say hello.

Soon he arrived at the waiting room assigned by the organizer. After entering, Chi Jingyuan directly found a place to sit down and prepare to catch up on some sleep. Before he put down his bag, he heard Baekhyun's strange voice:

"Is this waiting room...a little small?"
