Thank you letter?
Hearing Kim Sang-min's words, Lim Na-yeon, Yoo Jeong-yeon, and Minatozaki Sana were all a little confused, not understanding what was going on. They looked at the stack of documents in their manager's hand, feeling quite puzzled.
Why did Chou Tzu-yu receive a thank-you letter?
Zhou Ziyu was also somewhat puzzled, hesitantly reaching out to take the thank-you letters he mentioned. However, Kim Sang-min didn't stop, continuing, "They were jointly sent by the Waste Management Division of the Environmental Department, the Animal Protection Division of the Health and Welfare Department, and several self-governed stray dog shelters in Gyeonggi Province. Thank you..."
At this point, he looked at Chou Tzu-yu, his tone becoming somewhat complicated: "Thank you... for your donation."
"..."
Chou Tzu-yu was initially puzzled by the thank-you letter, but after her manager explained it, she immediately understood.
It must have been about her birthday. That day, after volunteering and walking the dogs, Chi Jingyuan mercilessly mocked her idea of adopting dogs, but then said that if she wanted to help these dogs, she could donate some money in her name to help improve their living environment.
Since it was a donation drive, Chou Tzu-yu originally wanted to participate, but she was dissuaded by Chi Kyung-won with a combination of disdain and concern, such as "How much money do you have?" and "Consider it your birthday present."
Although two months have passed, the scenes from that day are still vivid in her mind... It was the most memorable birthday of her life.
But now, a thank-you letter was suddenly placed in front of her, making Zhou Ziyu feel both happy and puzzled:
How much did he donate? He even sent a thank-you letter!
But Zhou Ziyu understood what was going on. However, Lim Nayeon and the other two looked at Zhou Ziyu with suspicion, glancing back and forth between the letter in her hand and her manager's face, unable to understand what had happened in a place unknown to them.
Upon hearing this, Sana Minatozaki, who was standing next to Tzuyu, had a fleeting look in her eyes beneath her eyelashes, and her expression shifted slightly.
She was initially puzzled, but after hearing the agent mention a 'stray dog shelter,' she suddenly had a clue.
"..."
After handing the letter to Tzuyu, the manager wanted to say something more, but then he noticed Nayeon staring at him with her big eyes, blinking intently as if she wanted to know the whole story. Meanwhile, Sana Minatozaki was also pursing her lips, listening curiously.
He paused for a moment, then waved them away, saying, "Sana, you guys go inside first."
"..."
After the manager said that, Minatozaki Sana, Lin Nayeon, and the others, who were originally very interested in knowing what was going on, had no choice but to agree and go into the practice room. Minatozaki Sana even thoughtfully closed the door behind her.
Although they had already gone inside, Kim Sang-min seemed to not want others to hear, so he led Chou Tzu-yu a few steps to the end of the corridor. After stopping, he looked at Chou Tzu-yu, who was looking down at the letter in her hand, her eyes clearly filled with longing and curiosity.
"Ziyu."
When Chou Tzu-yu noticed her manager's gaze and looked up to meet his eyes, Kim Sang-min spoke up. His tone was no longer as calm as before; it suddenly became much stern: "Do you know how much trouble this has caused the company? You didn't even communicate with the company. You just casually told him to go to some stray dog shelter. What if he gets caught?"
"You didn't even say a word afterward. Do you know how passive the company was when your photos appeared online? How many resources did the company have to spend on public relations?"
"You've been with the company for so long, don't you know how to do this kind of thing?"
Unexpectedly, after Sana Minato and the others left, Kim Sang-min immediately began to scold Tzuyu, his tone very stern, even carrying a hint of resentment.
It seemed that he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time.
But his anger was not without reason. When photos of Tzuyu doing volunteer work suddenly surfaced online, along with rumors that she was filming a TV show, JYP was genuinely surprised and astonished.
What volunteer work or program? As a talent agency, they were completely unaware of this information.
At first, they thought that Tzuyu had taken on some private work, or even been in a relationship or something. The company was naturally very angry and nervous, thinking that Tzuyu was too bold. They wanted to call Tzuyu over and ask her in detail to teach her a lesson.
But before anything could be done, as if this situation had been anticipated, Chi Jingyuan called...
Well, this way we can't really discipline Chou Tzu-yu, and we can't blame Chi Ching-yuan either...
Let's teach him a lesson for not managing his agent well.
Kim Sang-min felt quite aggrieved and resentful about this unexpected disaster, but he couldn't say anything. After getting to know her for so long, he thought Tzuyu was one of the most obedient and easiest to manage members of Twice, but he never expected her to cause such a scene.
...Speaking of which, he previously thought that another member who was the easiest to manage was Mina.
When he saw the thank-you letter that arrived today, he finally couldn't hold back anymore. Besides venting, he also felt he was fulfilling his duty. If he didn't express his opinion, he was worried that something else might happen next.
"..."
After being scolded, Chou Tzu-yu lowered her head, her face full of guilt, seemingly feeling very remorseful for what her manager had said.
But in reality, Chou Tzu-yu breathed a sigh of relief... She was a shrewd person with a keen eye. As soon as she heard her manager's tone, she knew that he was just scolding and complaining, and there was nothing more serious.
Actually, after she and Chi Jingyuan did volunteer work and were recognized, she had already anticipated that the company would find out and punish her, and she was mentally prepared... It's just that after it was exposed, for some reason, the company didn't say anything, they just asked her about the general situation.
...She wasn't stupid; she could guess the reason immediately.
"..."
Despite his outburst, Kim Sang-min didn't feel any better or more at ease... because Chou Tzu-yu now had powerful backers, and the company clearly wasn't planning on actually punishing her. All he could do was vent, and he even had to carefully choose his words, avoiding anything too offensive or insulting, lest this seemingly well-behaved girl turn around and badmouth him.
Without any real punishment, just a few words of scolding, how could these shrewd girls really remember it?
This made Kim Sang-min feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat even when he was being reprimanded...
Looking at Zhou Ziyu, who was pretending to be obedient, Kim Sang-min was no longer fooled by this highly deceptive face, but he couldn't really say anything, so he could only sigh inwardly.
"Ugh……"
...If you discipline someone like Sana Minatozaki, and confiscate their phone without hesitation, then managing them would be much easier.
There will be more later
