Chapter Eighty-One: Pure and Unadulterated Teachings

  Chu Jingyan didn't have any particularly familiar women, the Zheng family's pair didn't count, and neither did the little fatty. Those three silly girls who were flat-chested and had no buttocks, Chu Jingyan spoke to them in a tone that was no different from how he would speak to kindergarten children.

  In Chu Jingyan's eyes, treating them as women was just as unthinkable as treating monkeys as humans.

  So if in the future he can communicate with any woman like he did today with Sun Yi Zhen, Chu Jing Yan thinks that he can save a lot of saliva and his luck with women will start to get better.

  At this time, it seemed that everyone except Chu Jingyan himself thought his luck with women was exceptionally good.

  They are all daughters of real estate tycoons who have recently been in the spotlight.

  Of course, Chu Jingyan didn't think so himself, but now discussing another woman he had only met a few times with a second-time meeting woman, Chu Jingyan found his life becoming more and more degenerate.

  If this is what it means to fall, Chu Jingyan thought, then let me fall into the abyss, God.

  "The establishment of C&O has been a topic of conversation in the circle for a long time. Everyone knows about the strategic cooperation between Dongfang International and CJ, one helping CJ to set up more factories in China, and the other helping a Chinese-funded enterprise to rapidly expand in Seoul. However, CJ's entertainment industry, which Dongfang International has been slow to enter, is now finally happening, but for us, it's of course good news."

  "C&O's middle to high-level executives are all people who have some reputation in the circle, and some of them were poached from China by Oriental International itself. However, some important positions have been vacant for a long time, and everyone knows that they are reserved for someone close to Chairman Chen. Everyone is guessing who this lucky person is."

  As she said this, Sun Yizhen glanced at Chu Jingyan, who smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

  Son Ye-jin said slowly, the establishment of C&O is naturally a good thing for actors, such a creation rate means more opportunities and chances to rise for them.

  "Now I know, so I've always been curious, what did you do to get these?"

  Chu Jingyan still didn't say a word, tonight's Chu Jingyan wasn't very willing to talk about these things, because they had already talked enough before.

  Just a few hours ago, I was still at the warm and cozy family dinner, but in the blink of an eye, I had to come to this lively and bustling gathering of people who were bright and beautiful but extremely lonely.

  They can't go out on the streets at will, they can't appear in public with their lovers at will. At most, these single actors just stay at home or attend this kind of gathering.

  Korean entertainment circle is small, so messy.

  Lowering one's head doesn't see it, raising one's head sees it. You have something with someone, he has something with someone else, they all know each other, so it's called chaos.

  Chu Jingyan didn't say anything, so Sun Yizhen stopped asking. People who can get by naturally aren't stupid; everyone understands the principle of knowing when to stop. But unexpectedly, Chu Jingyan suddenly spoke up.

  "In this city, it seems like anyone can get involved with your so-called circle. Okay, now I can also be considered a half-insider in that circle. Earlier, I met a girl who was really just a girl, but she yearned for this circle and tried hard to get in."

  Chu Jingyan looked at Sun Yizhen and asked: "Do you think this is right or wrong?"

  "It's better if you don't come in." Sun Yizhen took a sip of wine, "Being an ordinary person is pretty good."

  "This is a bit too much, everyone knows the entertainment industry is dirty, but they all want to come in, why? It's because you all look good, are beautiful and attract attention from everyone."

  Chu Jingyan continued, "That girl has a good personality. The first time I saw her was when she participated in the company's role selection, but she failed. However, I didn't see any resentment on her face, which is great. Young people should naturally not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and they should be open-minded."

  "This damn place can most consume a person's brightness."

  "My sister has now become an artist, working very hard, but seems to have no success..."

  Chu Jingyan's tone was as calm as ever, but suddenly stopped abruptly, smiled at Sun Yizhen and said: "I think we've talked enough today."

  "It's indeed a lot." Sun Yizhen tightened her knit jacket, not getting angry at Chu Jingyan's rude behavior of stopping mid-sentence, and smiled slightly before turning around to walk into the house.

  Chu Jingyan stood on the balcony again, and the girl who had just spoken was of course Park Jiyeon. The more you understand something, the more helpless you feel. After tearing open that mysterious thin veil, you'll find that everything is the same.

  Does Park Ji-yeon still need to work so hard to get close to him?

  The answer depends on her own knowledge.

  Jung Joo-youn, however, no longer needs to think about these things because the many years that have passed are enough for her to tidy up the problems that hinder her progress. Perhaps, it is more likely that Jung Joo-youn never thought of these things at all.

  Chu Jingyu turned his head to look at the situation in the house, thinking that Zheng Xiuyan was said to be rushing to arrive late at night today. If she knew it would be so hard after coming out, I don't know if Zheng Xiuyan would still insist on persisting for so many years.

  It must be the fearless and indomitable personality of advancing with courage that infected Zheng Xiuyan, a person who did not strive to progress, in life, which allowed her to complete such a huge transformation.

  Thinking of this, Chu Jingyan raised the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.

  Raising two lolis is the best thing in this world, without experiencing it, how can you understand the feeling, only a big blank space in between makes Chu Jingyan quite uncomfortable, after all, Zheng Xiujing who used to wear open-crotch pants has already become elegant and refined, while Zheng Xiuyan has long grown into an adult.

  Chu Jingyan has been wondering, why does this sloppy-looking girl's house smell so good?

  It seems like you're really not a kid anymore.

  The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

  "What are you calling so late at night?" Chu Jingyan answered the phone and asked.

  "On the other end of the phone, not willing to show weakness: 'Everyone else is happy and joyful during the holidays, why are you so angry?'"

  Chu Jing spoke with a lick of his lips: "I bought you a gift, come back home to get it when you're free. Anything else?"

  "This is exactly what I wanted." Zheng Xiuyan nodded in satisfaction on the other end of the phone.

  "Miss Zheng's praise is my greatest honor." Chu Jingyan yawned, but without any sincerity.

  On the other end of the phone, Zheng Xiuyan habitually let out a "tsk".

  Chu Jing took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before suddenly asking: "Hey, have you ever thought about changing jobs or continuing your studies?"

  "Change jobs?" Zheng Xiuyan thought Chu Jingyan was drunk and talking nonsense, laughing and saying: "I haven't studied hard since junior high school, I don't know any math formulas now, how can I take the college entrance exam? And even if I don't want to be an artist anymore, who will help me pay the penalty?"

  "Academic problems can be solved by finding someone to tutor, that's not the issue. As for the penalty, don't look at me like I'm carefree, but I really have a lot of money." Chu Jing said with a serious tone.

  On the other end of the phone, Zheng Xiuyan laughed exaggeratedly: "You're not having a fever, are you?"

  "I'm serious."

  Jung Soo-yeon fell silent for a moment, then said: "I didn't think so either. I always thought that since we've been holding on for so long, it would be a waste to give up now. If I gave up, I wouldn't know what else to do."

  Chu Jingyan said, "Think carefully, this profession doesn't make much money, at least in my opinion it's not worth the effort. It's exhausting and you won't have time to spend with Uncle, Auntie, or Xiu Jing. You'll be under a lot of pressure every day, no private life, and in the future, you won't even have the freedom to walk on the street with your boyfriend. Do you want this?"

  "What's wrong with you today?" Zheng Xiuyan asked.

  "It's just not worth it."

  "But you're also very tired of living, why don't you give up?"

  "Can we be the same?"

  "What's different is that it wasn't me who taught you how to use a computer in the first place."

  “..........”

  Chu Jingyan still didn't give up and asked again: "Really won't consider it?"

  "Merry Christmas, I'm going to sleep, bye." Zheng Xiuyan chose not to listen to Chu Jingyan's nagging anymore.

  Chu Jing put down the phone and gazed into the distance, only to suddenly discover that there were no more cigarettes in his pocket.

  After Christmas, C&O's first costume drama is about to start preparing for release. With expectations, of course, there are expectations, but Chu Jingyan is not enthusiastic. This play was taken over by the president and his team, and so-called non-professionals like Chu Jingyan did not get much training opportunities.

  Even in a short period of several months, Chu Jingyan has already taken away too many rights from C&O.

  But now he has to face the fact that he has to hand over C&O's purse, because the position of financial director is no longer held by Chu Jingyan, Chen Muqing has come, the boss's daughter has come to help her old dad manage the accounts, a normal thing.

  The initial team building has already exceeded Chu Jingyan's original plan, and Chen Muqing is naturally an unexpected variable. However, it doesn't affect the overall situation. After all, the entire group belongs to the Chen family. As a salaried employee, Chu Jingyan wouldn't dare to overstep his bounds.

  Unlike before, Chu Jingyan's office often had people coming in and out, and recently there were more visitors. These people were all dressed up in suits and ties, looking very serious, but that ferocious look, and the teasing glint in their eyes when they saw the beautiful female employees passing by in the hall, showed that these people were not good guys.

  These people are certainly not good people. They either come from Duckweed Pavilion or Pear Orchard Courtyard, and they all have a common name for Chu Jingyan.

  "Big brother, you haven't checked this month's accounts yet. Without your approval, I don't dare to give those little ones below their pay."

  A young man stood awkwardly in front of Chu Jingyan, carefully looking at Chu Jingyan who was flipping through the documents and said, after waiting for a long time, Chu Jingyan finally looked up at the young man in front of him.

  "Have I ever told you young people that you can come here as you please?"

  The young man was taken aback, then immediately smiled all over his face: "But you haven't been to the store for a long time, many things need your decision, and the people below don't listen to us, they only listen to you, you know that."
