The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1399 Not Good At All

Dragon Palace Home #10.

Jae shoved a handful of popcorn in his mouth and laughed while pointing at the TV. It was playing a popular variety show. Tonight's guest was V. "Stop laughing, Jae!" Chaeng felt annoyed and embarrassed at the same time.

Unfortunately for her, Jae not only didn't stop laughing, but he teased her as well. "I miss you, sweetheart~ I miss you too, darling~ Kyaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

She threw a pillow at him. Jennie, Jisoo and Hoyeon chuckled at them. They watched the variety show in amusement.

Normally, they wouldn't watch this show, but they tuned in just for tonight after Chaeng informed them about it in their girl squad group chat. Alice was too busy working on her webtoon to come to Dragon Palace and watch the show together with them. Clover was still in France. So the two could only watch the variety show by themselves and discuss it with the others in their group chat. Chaeng was worried that her being featured on the variety show would negatively impact Orchidia's reputation. Contrary to her worries, however, Jennie assured her that it was actually a good thing. This kind of publicity was beneficial for their company. Even though Jennie told her many times that there was no need to worry so much about negatively affecting Orchidia's reputation, Chaeng remained concerned about it. She was actually the most anxious about the company's reputation among them.

As a celebrity, Jennie was already used to dealing with negative publicity. Her mentality forged through countless bashing was many times tougher than any of her friends. She wasn't too worried about ruining her company's reputation. All of her companies weren't easily toppled by something trivial like a COO's dating life with a superstar. Jennie worked hard to ensure that each of her companies had stable foundations, including the ready-made ones like Gold Heights.

Back at the lounge room where the girl squad members were hanging out, the friends continued making fun of Chaeng. According to her, the actual phone call only lasted for a few minutes. However, it was clear that the production deliberately prolonged the segment featuring the phone call to increase the suspense and maximize the entertainment value. "Smart," Jennie murmured in approval. "I like the part that they took the effort to make a special short introduction of Chaeng's background as Orchidia's COO. Hyung also made sure to mention JLV Studio every chance he got. Very good."

Jisoo and the others nodded, except Chaeng who pouted.

Deep inside, however, Chaeng had to admit that Jennie was right. Chaeng's specialty was in marketing. It was her major in business school. She agreed that the variety show should produce good results in marketing both Orchidia and JLV Studio.

"The show isn't as bad as I initially expected," she said.

Jennie chuckled. "Hyung is an expert in making the most of his guest appearances in shows like this. His current status in showbiz is high enough that most shows who want to feature him have to consider his approval in how he's portrayed. Since he agreed to accept this dare of calling you on national television, he knows that he can protect you regardless of how the phone call turns out. I'm sure that he would have demanded the show to edit it out if the phone call resulted in a situation that puts you in a bad light."

Chaeng pouted even more. She refused to admit what Jennie said about V, but Jennie was right. V might be indecisive about many things, but he wouldn't throw people under the bus without any valid reason. Her thoughts about the man were starting to become muddled. She still disdained V and his narcissistic arrogance about his superstar status. But what bothered her the most was his messy dating history in the past. She didn't want to become involved with a man who had such a complicated history with so many women. What the hell was she thinking when she agreed to become his fake girlfriend?
