Chapter 77 Little Polo and Little Colt

  Chu Jingyan is not a person who likes to help others in the purest sense of the word.

  Moreover, he is not a person who often praises others. In his memory, it seems that he has never praised anyone before. So if Park Ji-yeon knew that she was the first person to be praised by Chu Jingyan in her life, would she feel very honored?

  Well... it's a bit too narcissistic.

  Or to put it another way, before this girl he met for the second time on this trip, there was no intention of helping at all, it was the first time, a long time ago in Yaoshen Palace when he helped Gao Yalan, Chu Jingyan's purpose was also very pure, just for his own sake.

  That's also mixed with some things to help.

  Many people talk about the first eye's fate, except for Zheng Xiujing, who hugged his legs on the streets of San Francisco many years ago with a runny nose, Chu Jingyan never had an impulse to be a good person with a feverish brain again.

  One sentence made Park Ji-yeon a candidate, and also wanted to try out how much linguistic power C&O had.

  Now, looking at Park Ji-yeon's incredulous face, Chu Jingyan also felt that what he did was indeed unacceptable. Everyone wants to get benefits for nothing, but when the benefits come too suddenly or unexpectedly, the recipient needs a psychological adjustment process.

  Looking at the red wine already packaged in her hand, Park Ji-yeon seemed to still be out of it.

  Being praised is certainly a delightful thing in the heart of a child, even if nowadays seven or eight-year-old brats dare to say they understand everything, let alone Park Ji-yeon who is almost a high school student.

  But there are exceptions, such as this person who directly entered the list of candidates at that time. Although he looks very young, even just looking at his face, Choo Kyung-yeon thinks he's not much older than himself, and they've only met twice, with not many words exchanged.

  Park Ji-yeon felt that being praised by someone who should be very impressive was indeed a good feeling.

  At that time, the two of them praised each other's names as sounding good. Such childish behavior was naturally started by Park Ji-yeon, and now she doesn't know what else to say except "thank you".

  "Thank you." Park Ji-yeon's tone was quite sincere.

  It's rare for him to be a good person, so Chu Jingyan naturally had to see it through: "You're welcome."

  A sixteen-year-old girl thought it was a good thing, but also not so good. She raised her head and looked at Chu Jingyan, Park Jiyeon said: "In the end, we have to pay back, otherwise, our hearts won't be able to let go, the feeling of owing people something is really unbearable."

  How come Zheng Xiuyan and Zheng Xiujing never thought of buying something for themselves? The contrast is too big, Chu Jingyan thought for a moment, looking at Park Jiyeon asked: "Do you like acting?"

  "To be exact, I like a series of things about artists." Park Ji-yeon is easily led by Chu Jingyan's topic, "Whether it's acting, singing or dancing, I like them all."

  At a young age, with an imposing tone, Chu Jingyan said: "I can give you the opportunity to work and earn money, and then return it to me."

  "I don't need to work, I'm still studying."

  "You don't understand what I mean." Chu Jing spoke with rare patience, "Have you had any performance experience?"

  "It's not a small amount." Park Ji-yeon said with a hint of pride.

  Chu Jingyan continued to ask: "Made a lot of money from this?"

  "It's enough for me to buy food." Park Ji-yeon said with a smile.

  "It seems that there is some strength and talent." Chu Jingyan said.

  "My job is simple, it's just finding people to act in films for me," Chu Jingyan said. "You're also half an insider, you should understand what I mean."

  Park Ji-yeon's big eyes were first filled with confusion, then she thought back to when Cho Jing-yen was at C&O and that very large production company was rumored to be preparing a new work.

  Park Ji-yeon's eyes began to sparkle with starlight.

  "Really?" She has now thrown away her unusually bold words from just a moment ago.

  "Still the same." Chu Jingyan waved his hand, "I only gave you a chance for an interview."

  "Haha, I thought that just buying a gift for dad and mom this year would be enough to complete my task, but unexpectedly I ran into Santa Claus."

  Park Ji-yeon smiled more brightly than usual.

  Santa Claus? Chu Jingyan rubbed his chin, it seemed that Jin Xiayun had also called him this before. Thinking about it, he hadn't had much luck with women in recent years, so why did he recently meet a girl who had a good impression of him?

  Is it that one's hidden romantic attribute has begun to awaken?

  "I still need to buy a lot of things, you should be more familiar with this place than me." Chu Jingyan looked at Park Jiyeon and said, "Let's put it in a slightly more intimate way, the two of us are in an employer-employee relationship. For my first task, take me to the women's clothing department."

  Park Ji-yeon slightly furrowed her brow: "Isn't my job supposed to be interviewing?"

  "This is attached." Chu Jing thought to herself, "How come kids these days are getting harder and harder to fool?"

  "What's going on in the ladies' department?"

  "Buy an elder something like clothes."

  "Do you know your size?"

  "I don't know."

  Park Ji-yeon stopped in her tracks and looked at Chu Jingyan with a helpless expression, saying: "You don't even know your size, how can you buy clothes for someone else?"

  Chu Jing spoke up with a dry cough and explained, "Although you're still young, you must know that men are naturally inferior in this aspect and can't compare to women."

  Park Ji-yeon thought for a moment and felt that Chuyingyan's words made some sense, so she asked: "How about you buy scarves with me? Maybe we can even get a discount if we buy two."

  "What a good kid who knows how to live." Chu Jingyan said with relief.

  "Right, how old are you?" Chu Jingyan suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Park Jiyeon's age yet.

  "I'm class of '93." Park Ji-yeon replied.

  Zheng Xiujing was still one year older than him, but Chu Jingyan really didn't notice it. He thought that Zheng Xiujing's face looked a bit too mature, and Chu Jingyan felt that he should let Zheng Xiujing drink fewer of those hormone drinks in the future.

  Arriving at the ladies' department, Park Ji-yeon looked up at the dazzling array of decorations in the window display, feeling a bit dizzy. Just then, Cho Jin-yeon's phone in his pocket started vibrating. He took a look at the incoming call and said to Park Ji-yeon, "You go ahead and pick out some clothes first, and bring over anything that looks good, got it?"

  After Park Ji-yeon nodded, Cho Kyung-yoon walked over and answered the phone.

  The phone call was from Choi Hyo-jin, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

  Chen Shuo's personal stylist and Chu Jingyan have a good relationship. Now C&O has entered the filming of the first TV series "Fast Knife Hong Gil-dong" as the female lead, that person who had a chance encounter with Sung Yu-ri, was able to stand out smoothly, and it is inseparable from Choi Hyo-jung's strong recommendation.

  After a long time, Sung Yu-ri finally became the heroine of the new play, and in a few days, the first episode will be broadcast. Chu Jingyan attaches great importance to the first answer sheet handed over by C&O.

  But now, what is the purpose of this phone call from Cui Xiaozhen, Chu Jingyan does not know.

  "Miss Choi."

  "Merry Christmas, Director Choi." Choe Hyo-jin didn't get straight to the point.

  "You too."

  The person on the other end of the phone cleared his throat and said, "Does Director Chu have time to attend a gathering tonight?"

  "Party?"

  Choi Hyo-jin said, "There are annual gatherings and private gatherings. I and a few friends often do similar activities when we're bored. The people who come... um... your current job, I think you should need to know these people. There are men and women, but mostly women. These women, how can I put it? They seem to dominate the screens of Korean movies and TVs."

  Chu Jingyun fell silent for a moment, and on the other end of the phone, Cui Xiaozhen spoke up again: "You should have guessed it too. Indeed, the president and I talked about some things. These connections were established by me, but actually, Dongfang International also played a role in them. Now that they need to be used, I naturally don't dare to hide them."

  "What kind of gathering?" Chu Jingyan asked.

  "It's not often that we get to see friends we don't usually meet, and make acquaintances with those we don't know. In this circle, nobody likes to be disliked, so even if there's no real connection, at least on the surface things should go smoothly. You've come over, of course I'll introduce you to some people worth knowing."

  "After all, you'll be working in this circle later on, and you'll inevitably have to cooperate with some of them. Being able to get along well is naturally the best, but even just a nodding acquaintance would be fine. The most important thing is to figure out their temperaments and preferences. This group of people chooses works, not the other way around. You should understand what I mean."

  Chu Jing smiled and said: "A big name is just a title, I understand that."

  "Rough words but sound reasoning."

  Thinking that he still had to have dinner with the Zheng family later, Chu Jingyan looked at the time and felt a bit anxious, asking: "Why did you choose today."

  "Christmas is always a bit more atmospheric than usual days."

  "What time is it?" Chu Jingyan asked.

  Choi Hyo-jin said: "Tonight at 8 o'clock, the address will be sent to you later. If you feel the need, you can come to my studio first to prepare."

  "This time don't sit for several hours like last time, I can't take it."

  Choi Hyo-jin on the other end of the phone laughed: "No, it's not that grand."

  "Then trouble Miss Cui." Chu Jingyan hung up the phone.

  Park Ji-yeon waited on the side, and as soon as Cho Jing-yen hung up the phone, she rushed forward, holding two silk scarves in her hand, excitedly asking: "What do you think of this style?"

  Chu Jingyun took a look and honestly didn't quite understand what the difference was or how good it looked, so he had no choice but to trust Park Jiyeon's taste.

  "Alright then, wrap it up."

  Chu Jing handed over the packaged silk scarf to Park Ji-yeon, who received it with a smile. However, after checking the price on it, her expression immediately turned gloomy.

  "Alright, kiddo, Merry Christmas." Chu Jingyan sat in the car and smiled at Pu Zhiyan.

  "How can I contact you later?" Park Ji-yeon asked.

  Chu Jingyan put down a large pile of gifts and said, "After a while, the company will start preparing for a work. At that time, you can come to me directly, do you understand?"

  Park Ji-yeon nodded.

  "Goodbye."

  "Goodbye."

  Chu Jing said goodbye and drove away.
