Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 345: Day 341 of Being a Boss (Disbandment)

After the performance, Xu Yisong received a call from Kwon Ji-yong. BIGBANG is holding a tour in Japan today, which is about the same time as the end of their company tour.

"Oppa, did the performance go well?" Just as she was sighing in her heart that this guy was really punctual, she heard a piece of news that was enough to make her heart tremble.

On the other end of the phone, Quan Zhilong called out Xu Yisong's name in a low voice, and then said the sad and shocking news: "Yi Song, 2ne1... disbanded."

"...What?" Xu Yisong subconsciously frowned and remained silent for a few seconds, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Although she had always guessed that 2ne1 would be in trouble because of Kong Minzy's incident, and also guessed that the worst possible outcome would be disbanding, she didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

There was no sign at all beforehand.

Quan Zhilong on the other end of the phone knew the news a few minutes earlier than Xu Yisong. He was in a complicated mood at the moment, shocked, angry, and with a sense of shared sadness.

Although he is an old employee of the company, he had not heard any news about this matter in advance. He even just found out about it when he opened his mobile phone and saw the news.

The friendship between 2ne1 and BIGBANG is far beyond what any other member of the company can compare to. It can be said that they have supported each other and have come this far together.

His first reaction after seeing the news was the same as Xu Yisong's: he couldn't believe it. However, he called Li Cailing right away but she hung up on him. Then he received a short message with only three words on his phone: "It's true."

Not only Kwon Ji-yong and his group found out about this from the news, even the team leader Lee Chae-ryung herself found out about their group being disbanded from the news.

How ironic.

The company disbanded the group without any warning or consulting any of the members.

The same thing happened when their youngest member left the group before. There was only a text message, and then she was simply notified that she had "automatically" left the group.

Is there anything funnier in the world than this?

What does the company think they are?

Even through the phone, Xu Yisong could feel Quan Zhilong's sadness and confusion at this moment. Even she, who had only known them for two years, felt heartbroken. What would Quan Zhilong, who has been in the company for more than ten years from a trainee, think?

"Why? Without even discussing it?" Quan Zhilong couldn't understand.

Hearing Quan Zhilong's words with obvious crying tone, Xu Yisong couldn't say a word, and didn't care about the tears rolling down his eyes.

At this moment, she felt like her heart was about to break.

She felt sad for 2ne1 and also felt sorry for Kwon Ji-yong.

Xu Yisong covered the receiver of his phone and took several deep breaths to calm himself down. He tried his best to make himself sound inconspicuous and asked, "Oppa, have you contacted Cailing and the others?"

Quan Zhilong was still backstage at the concert. He leaned against a corner and hid himself in the darkness. He covered his face with his hands in annoyance, hiding his red eyes. "I called, but the ringtone didn't answer, but she replied. No one else answered the phone either."

"It's okay." Xu Yisong breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was no loss of contact.

Xu Yisong held the phone tightly, his fingertips turning slightly white due to the force, but he tried to speak calmly: "Oppa, don't worry, don't think about anything, see you tomorrow."

After finishing the call with Kwon Ji-yong, Heo Yi-sung contacted BIGBANG's manager Choi Sun-ho and asked him to keep an eye on several members of BIGBANG. He then called Kwon Ji-yong's personal manager Lee Tae-hee separately.

Of course the person she was most worried about among the few people was Quan Zhilong. Since she couldn't go to find him, she could only ask someone to help her look after him.

After making the call, Xu Yisong asked her assistant to help her book a flight back to Korea as soon as possible.

She called Li Cailing, but no one answered. There was no call from Kong Minzhi either, so she was worried.

After returning to Korea on a red-eye flight, Heo Yi-sung went straight to Lee Chae-ryung's house without stopping. She had asked Choi Sun-ho before, and he told her that several members of 2ne1 had returned home after leaving the company.

Xu Yisong stood at the door for a while, then rang the doorbell.

I don’t know how long it took, so long that when Xu Yisong was about to press the button again, the door opened.

“…Ouni?” Li Cailing’s eyes were red, and she was visibly stunned when she saw Xu Yisong standing at her door.

She knew that FYH was on tour, so Xu Yisong shouldn't have appeared at her doorstep at this time.

When Xu Yisong saw someone open the door, he finally felt relieved.

Li Cailing brought Xu Yisong into the house and looked for shoes for her. She didn't say a word during the whole process and even looked a little dazed.

Xu Yisong smelled a distinct and even pungent smell of alcohol at the entrance. He frowned slightly and then quickly relaxed his brows.

She changed her shoes silently, looked at Li Cailing's back and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

The figure in front of him swayed, then stopped, his straight back bent, and then his whole body trembled slightly, "I... I'm not okay, I'm not okay at all."

Li Cailing squatted down with her arms around herself, sobbing softly.

Xu Yisong placed his hand on Li Cailing's back, squatted down, hugged her and patted her gently, as if comforting a child: "It's okay, it's okay. Our Cailing has worked hard, I know."

Perhaps it was because Xu Yisong's voice was too gentle, the discomfort that Li Cailing had been feeling all day seemed to have finally found a way to vent.

The originally soft sobbing slowly turned into loud crying.

Hearing Li Cailing crying breathlessly like a desperate little animal, Xu Yisong could only hug her even tighter. His heart felt sour and tears started falling.

Li Cailing cried until she had no strength left. She knelt on the ground with half of her body leaning on Xu Yisong's arms. She was in so much pain and collapse that it seemed as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

She clutched Xu Yisong's clothes tightly, her tone puzzled and sad: "Why? Why did they disband without saying anything? Why didn't they even have a chance to discuss it? Did I not do well enough?"

Why not even give it a chance?

Xu Yisong had heard this sentence once from Quan Zhilong.

But when this question came out of Li Cailing's mouth, it sounded so desperate.

Yeah, why?

Everyone wants to ask why?

Xu Yisong is not the president of YG, so she can't give an answer. She can only reach out and hug her sister tightly, comforting her over and over again: "No, our Cailing has done a good job and is a very good and dedicated captain."

"Ouni, I really tried my best. I wanted to keep everyone, but in the end, no one was able to stay, and I was the only one left." Today is not only the day for 2ne1 to terminate their contract, but also the day for the other two remaining members to terminate their contracts with the company.

The company sent her this news and asked her to inform the other two members.

This kind of thing is so cruel.

She couldn't even remember how she finished saying those words.

Now I am the only one in this group who still belongs to YG.

If she had known this day would come, she would have rather not renewed her contract and just left.

She thought, really thought, that the company was planning to let them come back. They had even written the songs for their comeback, but now she was the only one who couldn't leave.

"It's okay." These are probably the words Xu Yisong said the most tonight.
