Chapter 72: Looking for Trouble

  Things don't seem as bad as Chu Jingyan had imagined.

  Chu Jingyan wasn't clear about which level of the social hierarchy those idols who shone brightly on stage belonged to in this country, but as for those two fists, Chu Jingyan found that there didn't seem to be anything particularly big waiting for him.

  It seems that those children are gods in the eyes of another group of children, but in the eyes of another group of adults, they can only be children.

  The kid got beaten up, anyway it's not one of our own, so what if he got beaten up.

  Li Yicheng was able to be hired as the president of C&O at the age of thirty, apart from his brilliant resume and excellent performance in CJ's middle management for many years. It is said that he has a good relationship with a Korean executive director of Dongfang International who holds a high position and great power. Rumor has it that there may even be some blood ties between the two.

  For the newly established entertainment company, Dongfang International's high-level executives naturally had a selection process. Li Yicheng was able to stand out among many candidates and has his own unique qualities.

  As a senior executive of an entertainment company, Chu Jingyan's actions yesterday are unbearable for many people.

  But the so-called 'more people' does not include those who can decide whether Chu Jingyan is right or wrong.

  Li Xiufull's phone call has proven that S and M have decided to let bygones be bygones. Li Yicheng knew that the person in front of him, if he were to talk about background, his background was much deeper than his own.

  Everyone knows that Dongfang International is now the only one, after Huang Dongzheng went to prison, Chairman Chen and Vice-Chairman Bai's words are unopposed, Li Yicheng's director uncle has never participated in any high-level dynamics, if it weren't for Li Yicheng's actual strength being quite good.

  It seems that the normally affable chairman would not dismiss the numerous opinions and allowed Chen Shuo and Bai Jiming to adopt his plan.

  The boss's throne is hard to sit on, especially when there is a subordinate who was originally prepared to be suppressed but now shows off his prowess, making one feel helpless and annoyed.

  Li Yicheng looked at Chu Jingyan and said, "Director Chu, yesterday's matter has passed, so let's just forget about it. Since S and M have decided not to pursue the matter further, I won't blame you for anything either. There was someone in that girl group who knew Director Chu, you should have spoken up earlier."

  Li Yicheng smiled and continued, "I've been friends with Director Gu for many years. If General Chu had spoken up earlier, I could have gone to make some arrangements to take care of things, and yesterday's incident wouldn't have happened again."

  "Don't bother the president." Chu Jingyan said, "I've always liked to handle my own affairs myself. It's troublesome for the company, so don't worry, President. In the future, I'll try to keep similar things like yesterday from others as much as possible."

  Li Yicheng's smiling face gradually stiffened.

  "After the meeting, Li Yicheng said: 'As the president of the company, I have a duty to care about what my subordinates are doing. If they do something that brings shame to the company, I have the responsibility to kick out the troublemaker.'"

  "C&O is still in its infancy and cannot afford a single moment of slackness or mistake."

  Chu Jingyan nodded seriously: "I will definitely remember the president's teachings and absolutely not embarrass the company outside, please rest assured."

  This is the stone in the toilet, smelly and hard.

  "Go out," said Li Yicheng with a wave of his hand.

  Chu Jingyan walked out of the general manager's office, followed by a young man wearing black-framed glasses. The two walked at a moderate pace, and the man said in a low voice: "The plan for Girls' Generation's activities over the next year has been sent over from that side. I took a look, there are places where we need to cooperate."

  "Does Kim Tae-yeon have a share in it?" Chu Jingyan thought for a moment before asking, "Is it possible that their affairs will involve the TV series?"

  So far, the singer who has collaborated with C&O is only Kim Tae-yeon.

  A young man shook his head and said, "It's unlikely to affect the production and broadcasting of our TV series. Specifically, for a few members, Kim Tae-yeon's role has a bit of a sad taste."

  "Bitter love?"

  A young man said: "It's roughly the case that the combination situation is not good, and S and M will give Jang Tae-yeon relatively more resources. According to reports, at the beginning of the year, they will go on a radio program, creating a sense of being the sole leader. Whether it will be successful or not, I dare not say for now, but it will definitely be tiring."

  "It's actually a good calculation." Chu Jingyan said.

  "Earning sympathy points, S and M have always been the best in the industry when it comes to planning this aspect."

  "After putting aside this issue, Chu Jingyan said: 'The TV series is about to start shooting and personnel arrangements need to be made. How are the necessary relationships being handled?'"

  "This aspect is Director Piao's responsibility, the supervisor can rest assured." The young man replied.

  Park Soo-young, it's natural that you're the one who was in charge of investigating Girls' Generation.

  Chu Jing nodded and said, "Notify the personnel department that Pak Eun-na, the head of the room, will be transferred to my department as the executive director. From now on, those who need to entertain don't have to look for her anymore. Tell the people in charge of business, it's my original words."

  The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I know, I'll arrange it right away."

  Chu Jingyan continued walking forward, and the young man slightly bowed to Chu Jingyan before turning around and leaving.

  It's not out of any personal favoritism or sympathy that I arranged for Park Eun-na, but rather because I wanted to know some things from her. The pay is one part of it, but I don't deny that this woman has great abilities, and apart from PR, the fact that she can be hired also shows that Park Eun-na herself has a lot of work capabilities.

  So digging up such an unstable middle layer and bringing it here, what's wrong with that?

  Even if there are rumors and gossip, it doesn't hurt me anyway, let them talk.

  Back in the office, there was someone sitting in Chu Jingyan's seat.

  The sound of pushing the door was not loud, but it startled the person on the chair. The large back chair slowly turned around, and Chu Jingyan saw the person on the chair clearly.

  It's a woman, and what's more, an unfamiliar woman.

  Alright, Chu Jingyan didn't know many women after all.

  Her wavy long hair, dyed a light brown color, cascaded down her shoulders. She wore a black professional suit with a white blouse underneath and a short skirt that showcased her smooth legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. Whether she looked good or not was something Chu Jingyan didn't bother to evaluate, but for now, she was indeed sitting in the seat where Chu Jingyan usually sat.

  No one in this company would do such a thing, and the unfamiliar woman carefully observed Chu Jingyan for a while before quietly getting up and walking to the window, picking up scissors to trim the potted plants on the windowsill.

  "The office decor is quite good, it seems that Director Chu isn't the kind of vulgar person I imagined." The woman left Chu Jingyan with a sunny background, saying unpleasant words while doing something that pleased people's eyes.

  This woman is a natural clothes hanger. Even if she doesn't wear high heels, her body is still straight. If you look at her from the side, she must be curvy in front and back.

  Chu Jingyan looked at the scissors in the woman's hand moving around the potted plant and said, "The Welcome Pine is not pruned like that."

  The woman seemed to have not heard Chu Jingyan's words, and continued to focus on her work, only stopping after more than ten minutes had passed. She put down the scissors in her hand and looked at her own work with satisfaction.

  "Each potted plant has its own life, and the owner's duty is to let their lives bloom, rather than following the method in the book rigidly."

  The woman put down the scissors and turned around to look at Chu Jingyan, saying: "Just like you've been doing things your own way all these years, yet somehow managed to rise to prominence in Qingtandong."

  Chu Jing didn't think about how this woman knew his affairs, but looked at the welcome pine and said: "You're very knowledgeable about flower arrangement?"

  "When I was young, I followed and learned, but I didn't expect that when I grew up, I would really like it." The woman touched her own work, smiled and said, "There's a saying, self-taught."

  The woman walked into Chu Jingyan's office with her hands clasped behind her back: "I often hear your name mentioned by my father and uncles, I was curious about you when I was in the country, now that I have the chance, I came to take a look. Originally, I thought you might be just a rough person, but since you understand potted plants, I think we should have some common language too."

  The woman spoke in Chinese, extremely standard and with a hint of Beijing accent.

  "Nice to meet you." The woman walked up to Chu Jingyan and stretched out her right hand, looking at him as she said, "Chen Muqing."

  "The words of Chu Jing."

  Withdrawing his hand, Chu Jingyan looked at Chen Muqing and said: "I've never heard that the head of the clan had a daughter as big as you."

  "What if it's adopted?" Chen Muqing blinked her eyes.

  Chu Jingyu was silent for a moment before saying, "I didn't mean to."

  "I know." Chen Muqing turned around and sat back in his swivel chair, tidied up the documents on Chu Jingyan's desk, and said to him, "Sorry for disturbing you, I hope you won't be angry."

  "No." Chu Jingyan shook his head.

  Chen Muqing looked at Chu Jingyan and smiled, saying: "I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, but this is not something that can be explained clearly in a short time. How about this? I'll give you an opportunity, at noon when we eat, I will tell you everything that can be told."

  "I have something at noon, sorry." Chu Jingyan subconsciously pulled his tie.

  "I didn't expect Chu Jingyan to refuse," Chen Muqing asked: "What's going on?"

  "Eat."

  "We can eat together."

  "But I want to eat with others."

  "Can I go back in time?"

  "No." Chu Jing's refusal was very straightforward.

  "Why can't I?" Chen Muqing frowned at Chu Jingyan.

  Chu Jing said.

  "A single life makes a double familiarity; after drinking a few cups of wine, even the most distant relationships can become intimate." Chen Muqing said, "This excuse is too lame, come up with another one."

  Chen Mu was a young woman who didn't look very old, roughly similar in age to Chu Jingyan. However, her body exuded the unique aura of a woman who had experienced many things and had emotional sediment.

  One has a slightly juvenile face with dimples when smiling, and one is maturely beautiful, extremely serious when frowning.

  This is really a very interesting scene.

  After a long time, Chu Jing spoke up and let out a sigh: "Don't you have anywhere else to eat?"

  "It was there originally, but now it's gone." Chen Muqing said.

  "Why?"

  "For no reason, unwilling."

  Chu Jingyan looked at Chen Muying, did this young lady come here looking for trouble today?
