Chapter 83 Gemini is just so cool

  No matter how dissatisfied C&O or Oriental International are with Chu Jingyan, they cannot stop him from advancing rapidly and jumping into the middle management of the group. Everyone knows what the real reason is for Chu Jingyan being transferred from Dongfang to C&O. When Chen Shuo can truly control the entire Oriental International in his hands, it will be the time when Chu Jingyan returns to the core of the group.

  That day will not be long in coming, very soon.

  As for Sun Yizhen, who spent a lot of effort to get Choi Kyung-yeon's phone number from Han Hyo-joo, Choi Kyung-yeon didn't know how to use the resource and put it aside without thinking about it again.

  It was said that Park Ji-yeon would be competing for the role, and with a child's positivity, she came with high hopes. She passed the initial selection thanks to Chu Jingyan's face, but in the end, she was still eliminated. There wasn't a suitable role for her, and it's indeed difficult to grasp a role that doesn't suit Park Ji-yeon's rough acting skills.

  Even an optimistic person will feel somewhat disheartened after failing twice in a row at the same company.

  Chu Jingyan, who had been watching from the side, watched Park Ji-yeon's performance with his arms crossed. As a non-professional, he couldn't see much of anything, but compared to a well-known actress who came for an interview last time, Park Ji-yeon's acting skills were as tender as white tofu.

  Still too inexperienced.

  Chu Jingyan helplessly shrugged his shoulders, he had helped as much as he could, and what he couldn't help with, Chu Jingyan didn't think Piao Zhixian was charming enough to make him open more backdoors for her.

  Maybe after a few years, she can make progress and even have a bright future. If luck is on her side, she might be able to collaborate with C&O. But for now, Park Ji-yeon is just a 15-year-old rookie, not even a real rookie yet.

  Everyone thinks Park Ji-yeon is a beauty, but being good-looking isn't everything. The little girl sits in the corner of the rest room with her head down, not knowing what she's thinking about, looking rather pitiful.

  At some point, a boxed lunch and warm soup appeared on the small table in front of her. Park Ji-hyun, who had not eaten breakfast or lunch for the interview, was already starving, and when she saw the sumptuous boxed lunch, she couldn't help but swallow saliva.

  Chu Jingyan was already sitting across from her, opening the bento box and pouring sauce over the fried pork cutlet on top of the rice, then handing Park Ji-hyun a pair of chopsticks.

  Park Ji-yeon picked up her chopsticks and started eating without even saying thank you, Chu Jingyan smiled and said: "Shooting TV dramas and movies are two different things, don't be discouraged if you fail the audition once or twice."

  "I know I'm not good enough, so I didn't have much hope anyway." Park Ji-yeon's voice was somewhat unclear, and even a fool could tell that she was insincere. How much of her emotions could a 15-year-old girl possibly hide?

  Actually, thinking carefully, Cho Jeong-yeon gave Park Ji-yeon two chances, but each time they fell through, making Park Ji-yeon so disappointed. Cho Jeong-yeon himself also has responsibility for this, however if you want to make Cho Jeong-yeon feel a little guilty, then take a look at whether the sun rose as usual today.

  A big box of rice was quickly cleaned up by Park Ji-yeon, and after wiping her mouth, she looked up at Chu Jingyan and suddenly said, "No matter what, thank you."

  Chu Jing shook his head and said it was unnecessary to thank him.

  Pausing for a moment, Park Ji-hyun said in a low voice: "I've already started as a trainee at an entertainment company. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be debuting in over a year."

  "Debut as a singer?" Chu Jing raised an eyebrow, "But you obviously want to be an actor."

  "Singers can also act," said Park Ji-yeon.

  Chu Jing shook his head and said: "I've only heard of actors winning Best Actress, but I've never heard of a singer winning Best Actress."

  Park Ji-yeon stared with wide eyes and said: "Shadow, have you seen a shadow? Why do I feel like when you mention shadows, it's just like the big white radish at the vegetable market."

  "I just saw Son Ye-jin a few days ago, not only Son Ye-jin, I should have seen almost all the movie queens and kings of this country, so Park Ji-yeon, don't underestimate me." Chu Jingyan was somewhat complacent.

  Boasting in front of a fifteen-year-old kid.

  "I just think that if I could make a career out of performing, debuting as a singer would be a good choice." Park Ji-yeon said with a hint of maturity, "Diversified development, this is what dad taught me."

  Whether it's her demeanor, speech or attire, Park Ji-hyun's family background is evident as being from a wealthy household. Choo Jin-woo habitually strokes his chin and asks, "What else did your dad teach you?"

  "I never give up, to train myself, my dad sent me to learn Taekwondo, every day I consume a lot of physical strength, so I can eat a lot, now that I'm this fat, my dad is half responsible."

  "Why want to be a star again?"

  Park Ji-yeon said matter-of-factly, "Because I'm pretty, don't you think?"

  Nowadays, kids really don't know what humility is. Generation gap! Chu Jing rubbed his temples and nodded, saying, "Honestly."

  "So, amazingly, my parents gave birth to me looking so good, of course I wanted to be a star. To be a star you have to have a good figure, but I just happen to love eating, sigh."

  Chu Jingyan looked at Park Ji-yeon's rosy face and thought of Zheng Xiujing at home, who was about the same age. He thought to himself that this was what a girl of this age should look like. Why bother comparing herself to those women in their twenties?

  "I think you're doing fine now," Chu Jingyan said, "and it will get even better later, so don't rush."

  After all, he's still just a kid, and being scolded like that made his previously gloomy expression instantly disappear.

  "Will I have another chance to come for an interview?"

  "As long as you're not afraid of failure."

  I'm not afraid.

  "You're welcome anytime."

  Chu Jingyu thought these were just polite words, but he could never have imagined that the entertainment company Park Ji-yeon went to was the one Chen Muqing introduced to Lee Jihyun, nor did he know that in the future, he might have more interactions with this child who had big eyes but was very dissatisfied with his own figure.

  ...............

  ..............

  The sky is getting colder and colder, telling the people of this city that the year-end is approaching.

  Chu Jingyan felt that since the beginning of the year, the days seemed to have never truly stopped.

  But compared with the past, Chu Jingyan felt that this year was quite smooth and successful, the best thing is that she successfully broke her record of not going to the hospital for a year.

  This is a qualitative leap and a good thing worth celebrating.

  Before long, it's already the end of the year, and everyone is looking forward to the holidays and the joy of reuniting with loved ones.

  At the end of the year, Chu Jingyan finally took a break before the Spring Festival. Although these years may not have been perfect, he now has some reliance and capital on this land. Since childhood, he has known that timely pleasure is important but also needs to find a good way out. Chu Jingyan has always been diligent, then suddenly found himself enjoying capitalism for once, and that feeling of comfort was hard to describe.

  There's only one friend who can talk about anything, Chu Jingyan wouldn't care whether Qi Qingrong was really busy with work as he claimed, and dragged him from the office to a coffee shop near Oriental International. On a winter afternoon, it was still quite warm, and the two of them sitting outside in their coats didn't feel too cold, only that the hot cocoa in their cups cooled down a bit too quickly.

  It's been a long time since the two of them met, and they didn't even exchange a few pleasantries. As expected, Korean women are no less passionate and fiery than those from other countries. On this cold day, the two pairs of white legs were swinging back and forth on the street like worthless ham hocks. The two people with no manners propped up their chins and swept back and forth with the crowd, occasionally narrowing their eyes and nodding frequently.

  "What did you call me out for?" Chu Jingyan was the first to withdraw his gaze, thinking that he was a seasoned player who had seen many women, and how could he lose face in front of this seemingly experienced but actually inexperienced man.

  People wouldn't bother doing something like sitting on the street and staring at thighs.

  Chu Jing said he loved drinking iced beverages, even in winter. Holding an iced tea and taking a sip, he let out a breath and said: "Recently, I suddenly had nothing to do, so I thought about giving myself a break."

  "Now that we're on holiday, go find something meaningful to do, why keep looking for me to do nothing?" Qi Qingrong gave Chu Jingyan a white eye.

  Chu Jingyan said: "I have some things I'd like to ask you."

  "Wow, that's unusual. Director Chu actually has something to ask me." Qi Qingrong picked up his hot cocoa and took a sip, saying, "Go ahead, what is it?"

  "About women."

  "Of course I know."

  Chu Jingyu looked at Qi Qingrong in surprise: "You know?"

  Qī Qīng Róng sneered: "From the moment I saw you, I could feel that emptiness and loneliness emanating from within you. You've finally got a life with daylight, felt the warmth of family, and your life is pretty fulfilling. Any normal person, okay, even someone as abnormal as you, would think about finding a woman to alleviate their boredom."

  Chu Jingyan's face twisted in expression, this was indeed a classic case of "a dog can't spit out ivory", taking a deep breath, Chu Jingyan put on a smile: "So what advice do you have?"

  "Just find a woman to satisfy him."

  "What's the point of being satisfied with this?" Chu Jingyan said discontentedly, "Not to mention that I'm handsome and elegant, young and rich, but also a good young man with a house and a car, why should I be satisfied with this?"

  Qī Qīng Róng glanced at Chǔ Jǐng Yán and said lightly: "Because you are a Gemini."

  Chu Jingyan's cool tea almost sprayed onto Qi Qingrong's face.

  Because you're Gemini.

  What the hell is this dog logic?

  Gemini, you're so annoying, can't Gemini find true love?

  Qī Qīngróng seemed to see through Chǔ Jǐngyán's thoughts and smiled, saying: "Do you know what kind of person you are?"

  Chu Jing shook his head.

  "You're the type who gets passionate for three minutes, is extremely guarded around people, and only thinks about gaining without considering giving. Your personality is not only weird but also difficult to get along with. You say that apart from casually finding someone to temporarily satisfy your desires, and then moving on to the next one after the passion fades, what other way is there?"

  "You mean I'll never be happy for the rest of my life?" Chu Jingyan was frightened.

  Qī Qīng Róng looked at Chǔ Jǐng Yán with a "how did you know" expression, sighed and said: "Brother, don't be discouraged, look on the bright side. With medical advancements these days, who knows, maybe they can even cure your brain disease. Then everything will fall into place."

  Chu Jing said: "The king of Chu has no match in the world."
