Chapter 43: The Age-Advanced Goddess is Still a Goddess

  Chu Jingyan felt embarrassed to have such thoughts frequently.

  When you see a pretty girl, you feel like you've met before in your heart. If you suddenly grab a girl on the street and say with an extremely puzzled and surprised expression, "Girl, I think we've met somewhere."

  Those with a good temper would say sorry first, while those with a bad temper would slap you and then say sorry.

  This is essentially no different from being a rogue, so to prevent such things from happening, Chu Jingyan would always bury such doubts in her heart. In the past, when she saw Gao Yaluo, it was this kind of situation, and now seeing this mature and elegant woman, it was still the same.

  "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before." Chu Jingyan smiled tiredly but still had a smile on his face.

  Alright, sometimes people can be shameless and there's no good way to stop them.

  "It's natural to feel that way, I think everyone feels that way."

  Chen Shuo left Cui Xiaozhen to accompany Chu Jingyan, letting her take Chu Jingyan to get familiar with the stars in the entertainment industry. As a well-known stylist in the entertainment circle, Cui Xiaozhen had extensive connections, and eight out of ten people in the hall were acquainted with her.

  Chen Shuo's entrusted matters, Cui Xiaozhen naturally did her best.

  Seong Yoo-ri looked at Choi Hyo-jin with a helpless expression, "Don't you think that by saying this, it makes everything you say seem unreliable?"

  "Do you know Finkel?" Choi Hyo-jin asked.

  Chu Jing nodded: "I've heard of it, it's a girl group."

  Chu Jing said he had never heard of FINKL, but he knew it must be a girl group. Why? Because Sung Yu-ri obviously looked like a woman.

  I'm really too damn smart, Chu Jingyan felt proud from the bottom of his heart.

  "We have Yuri as one of our members." Choi Hyo-jin looked at Chu Jingyan with a smile, "Jingyan, you may not care about these things, but back then FINKL was indeed the number one girl group in our country."

  "So that's how it is." Chu Jingyan had an epiphany.

  It seems that I can only see them on TV. Chu Jingyan thought to himself, is he destined to have no luck with women in this lifetime? Are all the ones he likes only seen on TV?

  No, I saw Kim Tae-yeon at a barbecue restaurant, so let's count that as one.

  "I'm really sorry, I didn't pay much attention to this aspect usually." Chu Jingyan apologized.

  It wasn't until then that the two of them finally started exchanging greetings. Sung Yu-ri's right hand covered her chest as she slightly bowed: "Hello, Mr. Chu, nice to meet you."

  "Hello." Chu Jingyan lowered his head slightly, somewhat unaccustomed.

  She's a very beautiful woman, okay, Chu Jingyan admits that it's just a waste of words. Unaccustomed to praising people in front of others, Chu Jingyan has been scolded by Qi Qingrong many times for being too reserved. However, Chu Jingyan thinks that if praising people were useful, would there still be such thing as giving money?

  In Chu Jingyan's heart, there was nothing that could make his blood boil more than directly giving him money.

  It's clear that Choi Hyo-jin and Sung Yu-ri have a good relationship, chatting and laughing together. Choi Hyo-jin occasionally brings Chu Jing-yen into the conversation, this woman is very skilled at socializing, and it's not easy for a woman to stay by Chen Shuo's side. In just half an hour earlier, Choi Hyo-jin had already made seven or eight familiar faces from TV remember Chu Jing-yen.

  Choi Hyo-jin's words are plain, but they leave a deep impression. Anyone who comes here is not stupid, and remembering Chu Jingyan's appearance and name is not difficult.

  Sales is an art, and salespeople are artists.

  It was unknown when Li Qi quietly appeared beside Chu Jingyan, whispered a few words in his ear, and then Chu Jingyan put down the champagne, smiled at Choi Hyo-jin and Sung Yu-ri, saying: "Sorry, I have to leave first."

  After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly again with a very stiff expression and turned to leave.

  Cheng Youli watched as Chu Jingyan left, seemingly lost in thought.

  Choi Hyo-jin pushed Sung Yu-ri a little and said: "What's wrong, can't even walk on the road now that you've seen a small man?"

  "Get out." Seo-yi glared at Choi Hyo-jin, "Sister, I'll return this question to you. How come you're in the mood to bring a little man by your side today? Don't you like successful and dignified Chairman, but instead like this energetic and youthful apple that makes people feel younger?"

  Two people walked to a small round table and sat down, calling the waiter for two cups of warm water. Cui Xiaozhen picked up the cup and took a sip, then asked, "What part of him did you see as immature?"

  "Isn't it?" Sung Yu-ri said, "He's quite young."

  "At such a big age, and in the entertainment industry considered a senior, why do you still like to evaluate people based on their age?" Choi Hyo-jin said, "Do you know who Chairman Chen is?"

  "Who is it?" Sung Yu-ri widened her eyes: "Could it be his son? No way, I remember that Chairman Chen was single."

  "Get out." Chae Ho-jin glared at Baek Sung-yoo.

  "Sister, I was wrong." Sung Yu-ri clasped her hands together and looked at Choi Hyo-jin with a pitiful expression, "I forgot that you had to get rid of Director Chen no matter what."

  Choi Hyo-jin looked at Sung Yu-ri with some helplessness.

  "He was the head of the department at Dongfang International," said Cui Xiaozhen, "and I can guarantee that he got to the position of head of the department on his own without relying on others."

  "Although you've never been a corporate employee, you should have seen those department heads at the agency. Ordinary people slowly work their way up, and with good luck, they can climb to that position by the time they're thirty. Not to mention Dongfang International is a multinational corporation - trying to move up the ranks isn't any easier than it is for newcomers in the entertainment industry."

  "This age?"

  "So I say don't measure a person by their age."

  Choi Hyo-jin looked around at the people of all shapes and sizes, saying: "But it's not surprising that we always like to look at things this way. At his age, even if he were in the entertainment industry, the best he could do would be to play a few small roles and get familiar with the scene. If he was unlucky, he might still be a trainee at an agency."

  "Although it's not very clear about his past, but what I do know is that he will grow," said Choi Hyo-jin. "Chairman Chen won't be impressed just because someone is impressive, only when they are truly worthy of being impressed and have already done enough to satisfy him."

  Cheng You unconsciously pouted: "So perverted?"

  Choi Hyo-jin said: "Didn't I ask you before to keep your schedule around the end of the year as free as possible?"

  Cheng You nodded slightly.

  "Dongfang International is going to expand its entertainment business and will make some moves soon," said Cui Xiaozhen. "It's said that they are preparing a costume TV series and a movie, I don't know about the script, but the investment is huge."

  "I think you should go for it, trust me, Yu Li, that drama won't disappoint in terms of quality."

  Seungyoo's expression started to become somewhat serious.

  FINKL was indeed the first Korean girl group, and members who had been solo for a long time knew it was impossible to do anything in the form of a group, and Sung Yu-ri, who had already put her career center on entertainment, naturally expressed concern about possible large-scale works.

  "When the time comes to shoot the script, find actors, and finally decide who to use, I believe that Yu Li has the final decision-making power, and the most likely person is the green apple you just mentioned."

  "Him?"

  No one knows the production process of a TV series better than Sung Yu-ri, from screenwriting to script, from directing to the entire production team, to selecting actors and finally making decisions. Every little thing costs money, and whoever holds the purse strings naturally has the final say.

  "Is he very rich?" Sung Yu-ri asked.

  "I don't know if he has money or not," Choi Hyo-jin said. "But I do know that entertainment company is definitely under his control."

  "Can't be the CEO?" Sung Yu-ri felt that some of her perceptions were being reshaped.

  "He's not the president, but everyone knows it's his company."

  "And why is that?"

  "How am I supposed to know."

  Sister.

  "What's up?"

  "At such an old age, still acting like a young girl throwing tantrums, to be honest it's quite disgusting."

  Choi Hyo-jin was a bit angry, she decided to suppress her sister's arrogance: "I told you before not to live with your parents, it's better to move out and get to know more men, getting married is the most important thing, you're already 27, who will take care of you in the future?"

  Twenty-six!

  "Your birthday is coming up soon."

  Cheng Youli wanted to find an excuse to counterattack, but after racking her brains, she sadly discovered that she really couldn't refute the fact that she had become a leftover woman.

  "You're thirty-two!" And so Seong Yoo-ri brought out his ultimate weapon.

  "I have goals and many people often confess to me." Choi Hyo-jin remains unmoved.

  "I also have a lot of people confessing to me." Seung-yoo's voice suddenly became much softer.

  "So?"

  Seung-yoo's voice turned into a mosquito buzz: "It's gone."

  Choi Hyo-jin looked at this younger sister, whom she had known since her debut. At first, all of Jung Yu-mi's hairstyles and makeup were taken care of by Choi Hyo-jin herself. Now, a young hairstylist has her own large studio, and the once green idol has become an actress in the spotlight.

  Time not only makes people old, but also makes them feel extremely sentimental.

  Choi Hyo-jin held Su-yeol's hand and said with some sympathy, "Su-yeol, a woman is destined to get married. If you had put half the energy you spent on acting into choosing a man, you wouldn't be alone now."

  "Look at Xiaoli, she's more down-to-earth in this aspect. Although she's also single, at least her attitude is positive and optimistic. Who says beautiful women must find someone who's handsome, rich, and considerate? That's a mythical species!"

  Cheng You felt extremely frustrated, thinking that you're a thirty-year-old woman who's not in a hurry, I'm just over twenty, okay, even if I'm almost thirty, do I have to be like a supermarket clearance sale?

  This woman who has fallen in love is really sentimental, Seong-yoo-ri rolled her eyes.

  In those days I was also a goddess, although now older, but that is also a goddess.

  Seong-yu comforted herself like this.
