Chapter 37: Your Noise, from Inside Out

  When Chu Jingyu felt sentimental about life, he actually liked to be alone by himself, rather than taking out his phone in the middle of the night to disturb friends who were having a good dream. After all, he didn't have many friends.

  Qī Qīng Róng is impossible to listen to Chǔ Jǐng Yán's endless chatter for a whole night, he will directly hang up the phone.

  Chu Jingyan had great resentment and dissatisfaction with this.

  But today was an exception, in Chu Jingyan's heart, Xiao Feipo got the closet he made with great effort for half a day without any cost, and also had a free big meal, and even helped to teach someone a lesson. Where can you find such a sumptuous free lunch? So Chu Jingyan naturally called Xiao Feipo to harass her.

  After all, today is an important day for Chu Jingyan. For a long time to come, the road ahead cannot be taken wrongly. One wrong step will lead to a series of mistakes. This isn't a school exam where one mistake deducts just one point. For Chu Jingyan, getting one question wrong means the entire test paper is ruined.

  But Chu Jingyan was very confident that he would get a perfect score in this exam, so he called Xiaofei.

  The so-called gentle words from Xiao Fei Po's mouth actually have some sources.

  At first, Chu Jingyan had just met Xiaofeipo and was busy with his affairs. On a very accidental occasion, he sat down face-to-face with Xiaofeipo for the first time to have a meal together.

  Chu Jing said with a big mouthful of food, after finishing eating, he was ready to leave.

  At that time, Xiaofei said a sentence, but until now, Chuying still believes that the sentence was copied by Xiaofei from some famous quotes.

  "You're busy till day and night, why not try embracing the subtle tenderness that others give you in your daily life."

  Listen, listen, embracing the tenderness given by others, embracing tenderness. Such a meaningful and profound phrase, can it be said by that fat woman who can't even enunciate clearly?

  Don't be kidding me.

  Anyway, Chu Jingyan was absolutely unbelievable.

  Even if he didn't say anything out loud, it turned out that Chu Jingyan didn't take this sentence to heart either, but he still remembered it.

  So even if Tiffany falls asleep tonight with a heart full of doubts and dissatisfaction at being woken up, Chu Jingyan probably won't have any guilt or remorse.

  Li Qi led the people out of Diou, and after a group of people rushed to Chu Jingyan and bowed, Li Qi stepped forward and said: "As you instructed, Pu Enzhen will take good care of it, and the account book has also been kept safe. You don't have to worry."

  The people under him gradually dispersed. Chu Jingyan took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Li Qi, lit it up and took a deep drag.

  "Li Qi, what is the point of a person being alive?"

  "Grow up, work, buy a house and a car, get married, have children, and raise them. Chu Jing smacked her lips and smiled, "Obviously, you can live a very comfortable life, so why do you always look like you're on edge?"

  Li Qiwu furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying, "I haven't read many books, so I can't answer this kind of philosophical question."

  "I don't know either," said Chu Jingyan, "so I really want to know."

  "Big brother?" Li Qi called out softly.

  "What's going on?"

  "From what I know about you and all the changes that have taken place over such a long time, I think it's high time for you to find yourself a woman."

  "Why?"

  "Because you're really hot now."

  Chu Jingyan looked at Li Qi and asked: "Where did you see that I was promiscuous?"

  "It's an aura that emanates from within." Li Qǐ sighed and said, "Big brother, I know you've been single for too long and it can get lonely, but instead of thinking about such meaningless things, why not find yourself a girlfriend?"

  "Have you no desire or need to explore philosophical ideas?"

  Li Qishake shook his head.

  "Rotting wood cannot be carved." Chu Jing spoke helplessly and shook his head.

  "I don't understand philosophy." Li Qi looked at Chu Jingyan seriously and said, "But big brother, I have a girlfriend who can cook and do laundry."

  After a long time, Chu Jing spoke with a hint of envy in his tone: "What you said makes sense."

  "Coarse words but not coarse meaning."

  ................

  ..................

  Zhu Jingyan's actions were too quick, in the morning he was still in the studio making a wardrobe for Tiffany, who would have thought that after getting He Jiong's verbal consent, he started collecting the net that night.

  In Cheongdam-dong, for five years, Chu Jingyan did many things. Not only did he accompany the directors who were in charge of the entertainment industry and walked with them, but he also made some preparations that might be needed in the future.

  Those account books are proof, being able to control Dio at will is also proof, buying off Pu Enru's money-loving cousin is still proof. Too many people underestimate Chu Jingyan because of his age. How could this twenty-something young punk possibly be a match for these old slippery characters who have been mixed up in the jianghu for years?

  The enemy is not to be feared, the strongest fortress will forever collapse from within. These people obviously do not know what loyalty and trust are, everyone wants to benefit from this behemoth called Dongfang International.

  This is certainly wrong and also the easiest to be defeated.

  Like Jin Long, there are many people who think this way. To be honest, Chu Jingyan is very grateful for their thoughts. If not, how could the first step of closing the net be so smooth?

  The night color gradually faded away, when the morning sun poured onto the earth, many people knew that Dio and Kaku had already started using the surname Chu.

  Chen Shuo and Bai Jiming sat on the rooftop, overlooking the city they had struggled for decades.

  "I thought I'd have to wait a few more months, and I also thought Jin Long would be the first to make a move, but I didn't expect Chu Jingyan to act so quickly, it's even a bit hard for me to keep up."

  Bai Jiming looked at Chen Shuo and asked: "What do you think?"

  Chen Shuo leaned back on the sofa, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at the warm sunlight filtering through the skylight above. "After my conversation with Gao Xingyang yesterday, I thought to myself that Chu Jingyan would make a move within a week at most," he said. "But just like you, I didn't expect him to take action that very night."

  "Jin Longyi's counterattack will come soon, I don't know if he can hold on," said Bai Jiming.

  Chen Shuo picked up the water beside him and took a sip, saying: "Whether he can hold on or not is his business, whether I can win or not is what I should be concerned about."

  "Are you so confident?"

  "What's the big deal about Jin Long? A street rat who got lucky and met a big shot, that's all he is." Chen Shuo put down his cup and laughed, "If you can't even take care of a piece of trash like him, then what has Chu Jingyan been doing in Qingtandong for the past five years?"

  "You should also know what Jin Long Yi is not."

  "I know Jin Longyi is easy to deal with, but what about Huang Dongzheng?" said Bai Jiming. "Jin Longyi is just a director, but Huang Dongzheng is a real board member, who will fill the vacant seat?"

  "The knife is already in hand, let's kill the pig first and then consider which relatives and friends to send the pork to." Chen Shuo stood up, picked up his coat and was about to go out.

  Jin Long sat silently in his office.

  In the past few hours, he made at least several dozen calls to Park Eun-jeong and his other close subordinates, but unfortunately, no one answered each time.

  He knew what had happened last night, and that insolent Chinese man had already taken action.

  Where did that little kid get his confidence from? He's just a rootless substitute, does he really think he can turn the tables on me?

  Jīn Lóng Yī still has a firm grasp on victory until now.

  The phone rang and Jin Long answered it.

  "I already know what happened last night, don't act rashly for now, I'll handle it." The voice on the other end of the phone was very calm.

  Jin Long nodded his head and said, "Alright, Director."

  "That little kid, since he dared to make a move, must be fearless. I don't know if they will finally lose patience and launch ahead of time or something else, so before I figure out what's going on, you shouldn't do anything out of line. That little kid is now the president's face outside, touching him is slapping the president's face."

  "I'm saying this so you should understand."

  "I understand, I understand." After a pause, Jin Longyi said hesitantly: "Director, the movements over there are really quite aggressive. Can I try to make some reaction? Otherwise, I'm afraid they won't know how to restrain themselves."

  "Don't go too far."

  He hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

  Jin Long leaned back on the sofa with his whole body, and he always felt that his own backing had a sense of crisis.

  ...........

  ...........

  "If you don't explain why you called me in the middle of the night yesterday, I won't let it go until today." Tiffany stared at Chu Jingyan with a pair of panda eyes, her face full of indignation.

  "Do you know that I couldn't sleep once I was woken up?"

  Chu Jingyu looked at her and then at Kim Tae-hee beside the little fatty, suddenly saying: "Let me tell you a joke?"

  "Don't change the subject."

  Chu Jingyu started talking to himself: "So, a man and a woman went out for dinner together. The woman asked the man, 'Can you keep me company and have a few drinks with me? I'm feeling terrible.'"

  "The man said, no way, I won't drink."

  The woman looked at the man with a hint of resentment and said, "Actually, I'm not very good at drinking either. Once I get drunk, I like to kiss people randomly."

  Chu Jingyu glanced at Tiffany and Kim Tae-yeon, then continued: "So the man slapped the table and yelled at the waiter, 'Brother, bring a crate of beer.'"

  "Hahaha—"

  Kim Tae-yeon and Tiffany couldn't help but laugh, Tiffany patted Chu Jingyan's shoulder and laughed: "The protagonist of this joke is so cheap, Chu Jingyan, I think you're similar to him."

  Chu Jingyan also smiled, but as he continued smiling, his smile eventually froze on his face.

  What do you mean by saying I look like a cheap person? Where am I being cheap? Have you ever seen anyone who is cheap make such exquisite and lovely wardrobes for you? Have you ever seen anyone who is cheap die from just one phone call to become a free meal ticket?

  "How dare you! If you don't show me respect from now on, I won't invite you to dinner anymore." Chu Jingyan said angrily.

  "If you don't treat me to dinner, you won't see Taeyeon again." Little fatty immediately counterattacked.

  Kim Tae-yeon, who was stuffing ice cream into her mouth, looked up and asked, "How did it get to me?"

  Chu Jing spoke with a hint of anger, slapping the table and shouting: "Exactly! How did it suddenly involve Taiyan for no reason? Whether I invite you to dinner or not has nothing to do with her. If I don't invite you, can't I still invite her alone?"

  "Ungrateful!" The little fat woman was furious.

  "Hehe, you're just like each other." Chu Jing said with a smile.
