Jennie contemplated for a moment before nodding her head, "I didn't receive an invite, so...what identity will I be going as?"

"Suga has already prepared everything...the event will be at 7pm tomorrow night, don't be late."

Jennie lay on Taehyung's chest. Because of the intense activity they had just completed, she was extremely tired. Not long after, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Taehyung gently stroked Jennie's back and placed a kiss on her forehead. He stared at her closed eyes for a little while before reaching out his hand to turn off the bedside lamp and falling asleep with Jennie in his arms.

Why did Taehyung insist on attending with Jennie? It was because he knew Cheng Tian Entertainment's CEO, Momo Hirai, would also be attending. If the auditions were to be held by Yang Jing, then she would definitely prevent Jennie from succeeding. So he decided to let Jennie declare her intention in front of Momo Hirai, in case she got rejected by Yang Jing before her portfolio even reached her.

As her husband, and as the only person she could rely on, Taehyung had to make the best of every situation. Whenever he saw an opportunity for Jennie, he would take it.

Of course, Taehyung's thoughts were correct.

While entering candidate details into the system, Cheng Tian's HR team noticed Jennie's portfolio. One of the HR staff excitedly handed the information over to Yang Jing.

Yang Jing called the staff member into her office. Holding Jennie's portfolio in her hand, she looked at the staff member through her black-framed glasses. The look in her eyes were cunning and calculative, "Although I also feel it is a shame, the truth is, Jennie is too old; she does not comply with our selection criteria. So...I know it is harsh, but we will need to reject her!"

Hearing this, the staff felt like she had been put in a difficult position, "How about we ask President Momo first?"

"No need. A small matter like this, even if it goes to President Momo, would end up with the same result. Don't bother her." After speaking, Yang Jing shredded Jennie's portfolio and threw it in her rubbish bin, "Also, this matter, don't tell anyone about it for now. Jennie is currently being fought over by multiple famous agencies. Since we won't be accepting her, we don't want to humiliate her. Understood?"

"Yes, I understand," the staff member nodded her head before leaving the office.

Although the staff member agreed verbally, inside she still felt, Yang Jing's reasoning was a bit far-fetched...but she couldn't figure what was wrong.

This was the last round of applications. If Jennie was to be rejected, she would never get the chance again...

Under these circumstances, the staff member still felt uneasy. So she decided to go to Sehun's office. Seeing he was busy with work, she originally decided to leave, but Sehun stopped her, "What is it?"

"You see, Mr. Oh, earlier today I received a portfolio from Jennie. But, Miss Yang claimed Jennie was too old and shredded it up. I've seen Jennie on the runway before and I feel it is a bit of a shame for Miss Yang to do that," she replied honestly.

Upon hearing her response, a sneer appeared across Sehun's face. He knew Yang Jing would do something like this, he just didn't expect she would directly reject her.

It seemed, Jennie had not taught her enough of a lesson. However, Sehun did not intend on helping Jennie. Since Jennie was fated to meet the evil Yang Jing, he was going to let them fight among themselves. If Jennie handed her portfolio in even though she knew Yang Jing was at Cheng Tian, then she was really not worth paying attention to.

So, after staring blankly for a moment, he finally responded, "I don't think what Yang Jing said is wrong."

The staff member did not expect him to answer in this way, but in the end, she still accepted it, "In that case, I'll go delete her details now."

"No need to delete it. Since it is part of the normal selection process, then leave it as it is. Jennie is indeed too old, but it's not like she has anything to hide. Just reply to her by email as usual; she still deserves a bit of respect."

The staff member had no idea what he had planned; all she could do was smile as she nodded her head. It was obvious, although Yang Jing had stolen his job of auditioning newcomers, the staff still trusted Sehun more.

But, never would they have imagined, the person in charge of Jennie's emails...was Kim Taehyung...

As soon as Cheng Tian sent their reply, Taehyung saw it.

As expected...

... Jennie was rejected. The reason for rejection was that Jennie had surpassed the age limit and did not comply with Cheng Tian's selection criteria.

Taehyung stared at the computer screen as he let out a laugh. No matter how crazy Momo was, she would never reject Jennie. So, obviously, Yang Jing must have done something behind her back.

It was exactly because of this that he had asked Jennie to attend the charity event with him.

The fact that Jennie had sent her portfolio to Cheng Tian, he was going to make it known to Momo Hirai...

Not long after, Taehyung phoned Jennie and told her to look at the email. Upon seeing the reason for her rejection, Jennie couldn't help but scoff.

"This is the last round of applications, if you are rejected, you won't even get the chance for an interview. Tonight, Momo will also be attending the charity event."

Hearing his words, Jennie immediately smiled, "President Kim, on the surface, you keep telling me that you'll wait for me to grow. But, in reality, your heart is focused on being my manager."

"Wait until you have a manager...let's see if I will still care about your issues."

"Of course you will," Jennie didn't believe that he would let go. "You won't be able to bear seeing me suffer."

Taehyung smiled as he placed his hand to his forehead helplessly, "Leave a little earlier tonight, don't be late."

"I know." After giving her response, Jennie hung up the phone as she fell into deep thought. So, Momo Hirai will be there as well?

Firstly, she had to think of a way to personally get in contact with Momo. Since Yang Jing stood in her way, she had no choice but to look for Momo directly. Although... Momo Hirai may not necessarily pay attention to her, but without trying, she wasn't going to give up.

6pm. Jennie was dressed formally as she approached the location Taehyung had given her with Nayeon; she entered as a newcomer.

At the same time, Father Five, who had also been invited, was right behind her. Seeing this little model advance so quickly, he felt it was a little hard to accept.

In reality, all those invited today were mainly successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists; there weren't many actors or singers, let alone models like Jennie.

It was because most of the guests had influential backgrounds that there were also a lot of socialite ladies; they only agreed to attend because they wanted to meet Taehyung.

Momo arrived with Sehun by her side. Although Jennie kept a low profile, Sehun spotted her sitting in her seat straight away.

As expected, Jennie wasn't going to be suppressed by Yang Jing. However, Sehun was curious how she was going to strike up a conversation with Momo.

As for the Taehyung that everyone was anticipating...where was he to be seated?
