Chapter 82 The Expected Number Arrives

  Chu Jingyan sat on the sofa, bowing his head to look at the account book brought by the young man, looking very carefully, even pursing his lips slightly. The young man sitting beside him naturally didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only pick up his coffee and take a sip from time to time.

  Whether it was Dongfang International or C&O Entertainment, Chu Jingyan's unclear background and the reason why he received favor from the president at a young age, being entrusted with important tasks, has always been a topic of discussion during leisure time, with everyone feeling that there is something suspicious.

  One is because Chu Jingyan was indeed young, and two is because of that face which looked even younger than his age.

  Talking to Chu Jing, this completely black-hearted person who can't see a hint of red, his appearance is indeed full of deception. His lips are red and white, his skin is so good that even Zheng Xiuyan, who is currently in her youth, envies him. His bright eyes are surprisingly watery, and his slender figure looks perfect no matter what he wears.

  The lady Pak Eun-na, who has now become Chu Jingyan's confidante, not to mention the many knives that have moved on her face, is indeed a beauty with a fiery figure. This delicate and charming older sister, Chu Jingyan, isn't someone who can be won over in just one or two days. Who knows if she was really hooked by Chu Jingyan's harmless and pure face?

  Her skin is white because of years of staying up late, Zhu Jingyan rarely gets to bask in the sun, and as for the rest, it's all just heaven's favor, enviable.

  Chu Jingyan always thought that his narcissism was all because of this ugly face, if he looked like this and didn't have a big ego, then what kind of person would be qualified to be narcissistic?

  So Chu Jingyan thought she could naturally fall in love with herself.

  Chu Jingyan always felt that this life was so bumpy, wasn't it because the heavens thought that creating this body of mine was a bit too perfect, so they gave me so much trouble to worry about?

  Chu Jingyan was self-reproachful here, while the young man opposite him was extremely nervous, not at all as carefree and composed as he had been when chatting with the female staff in the lobby lounge earlier.

  The young man named Bae Sung-joon, with a clear and handsome appearance, if not for following Chu Jing-yen astray, might have entered an entertainment company as a trainee and become a star with good luck.

  However, Bae Sung-joon is very satisfied with his current life. He has money to make, women, and most importantly, he followed a good boss, which is the premise of him having all these things.

  This is also one of the reasons why Bae Sung-joon is afraid of Cho Jing-yen, who is two years younger than him.

  Many people are curious about why Chu Jingyan was able to make a big name for himself at such a young age, but as one of the few people who followed him closely from the time he established himself in the You She Palace and gradually rose to prominence, Pei Chengjun understood that outsiders' hearts were sour grapes.

  How can a young man with no power or influence and who is also an undocumented resident achieve all this with empty hands?

  Bae Sung-joon thought about those things from a few years ago, feeling a bit fearful and also relieved, but his eyes looking at Chu Jingyan became even brighter.

  No matter how difficult it is, now he is standing here safely, the businesses in his hands can make a lot of money every month, and if he wants to, Pei Chengjun can go to bed with different women every night.

  What I wanted was this kind of life, but Chu Jingyan seemed not to be like that.

  Bae Sung-joon picked up his coffee and took a sip, to be honest, he wasn't really interested in this bitter drink, especially on a day like today, when an ice-cold beer would have been more refreshing.

  With a glance around the office, Bae Sung-joon felt that Chu Jingyan was truly different from before, thinking that people's pursuits were just not the same.

  Bae Sung-joon recalled that two years ago, Cho Kyung-yan officially entered the Pear Blossom Courtyard. Nobody thought highly of this outsider who had just barely managed to stand firm at Duckweed Pavilion and was now eager to expand. Everyone was waiting to see Cho Kyung-yan make a fool of himself, and some outsiders even offered a high price for one of his legs.

  Others want Chu Jingyan's money, he won't give it to them, but if they want his legs, maybe he'll give them.

  Of course not.

  One year later, Chu Jingyan already had his own discourse power in Litaoyuan. The cost was naturally very high, many people were sent back and imprisoned, and some people had physical disabilities.

  Bae Sung-joon still remembers that Japanese man.

  The Japanese man kneeling in front of Chu Jingyan, begging to be let go, Pei Chengjun naturally knew that the little Japanese was not a good bird. He relied on pulling skin and flesh, and his position as the largest skin and flesh customer at Litaoyuan. Over the years, countless women who had sneaked across or locally had nowhere else to go and could only enter his store to make a living.

  Most Japanese people have some psychological issues, and he is one of the most prominent ones. He has a lot of women under his control, and none of them have escaped his advances. Moreover, he enjoys playing some games that are difficult to mention.

  Then many people were played to death by him.

  So when Chu Jingyan smashed that store and drove the Japanese man to almost mental collapse, begging for mercy on his knees, not many people felt sorry for him.

  That man has some connections with the Japanese mainland mafia, Chu Jingyan knew he couldn't really do anything to him.

  However, the Japanese were very self-aware and proactively proposed cutting off their little fingers.

  Then Chu Jing gave him a handmade knife.

  It's those small, thin and long blades that kids use to cut paper, using that kind of blade to cut fingers.

  It's simply torture.

  The Japanese man was cut, and when he was cut to the bone, he let out a scream like a dying beast, then he fainted. At that time, many people were present, but no one felt anything unusual. Then, Chu Jingyan walked out of the private room, saw the Japanese man lying motionless on the ground, and smiled.

  Even a good-looking man like Bae Sung-joon thinks that Chu Jingyan is very pretty.

  But his smile was somewhat eerie.

  At that time there were many people in the store, mostly employees of this store, namely women, and some customers who did not have time to leave.

  So those people must have seen the most unforgettable scene of their lives.

  Chu Jingyan picked up the handmade knife and began to cut off the Japanese man's fingers with great force and care.

  The friction between the blade and the metacarpal bone was ear-piercing, some people vomited, some closed their eyes, but Chu Jingyan continued to cut his fingers very seriously.

  One little finger, one ring finger.

  That ring finger is interest.

  As for why cutting off a finger would still incur interest, Chu Jingyan was too lazy to explain.

  That day, many things happened, and Bae Sung-joon had already forgotten where he ran that day, what he did according to Chu Jingyan's instructions. He only remembered that after returning home that day, he slept soundly for a whole day, and then from that night on, no one raised any objections to Chu Jingyan's strong entry into Duckweed Pavilion.

  This is just a memory of Chu Jingyan for Pei Chengjun, and there are many more like this, or even deeper.

  Now carp has leaped over the Dragon Gate and flown towards a wider place, but what Chu Jingyan had before, he never thought of giving up.

  Chu Jingyan said that if he puts all his energy into C&O, then naturally he will have to let go of many things. Fortunately, whether it is Qingtandong or Yayiting, or even the most complex Litaoyuan, many things are still related to Dongfang International, so Chu Jingyan doesn't have to worry about losing power or his position being affected.

  He absolutely believes that what happened in previous years is enough for those who want to make some small moves to dare not act rashly.

  But there are still some absolute territories that belong to him, and now the ones in charge of these territories are Li Qi and Bae Sung-joon. There aren't many people he can trust, but two is enough.

  Put down the bill, Chu Jingyan picked up her coffee and took a sip. She instructed Pei Chengjun, "There's no problem, send out what needs to be sent. I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go to the store, you and Li Qi work hard."

  "Yes." Bae Sung-joon nodded.

  Knock knock—

  The sound of the door knocking, Park Eun-na pushed the door and walked in. Bae Sung-joon raised his head, and the color in his eyes burst out instantly. His eyes followed Park Eun-na's black high heels up, sweeping over her plump thighs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, and after staring at her full chest for a while, he unconsciously licked his tongue.

  Park Eun-na also seemed to notice Bae Sung-joon's gaze with an attacking tone, but didn't say anything. She smiled and walked over to Cho Kyung-yeon, bowing slightly.

  Chu Jingyu coughed dryly and turned his head to ask, "What is it?"

  Park Eun-na pulled out a small piece of paper from the file and handed it to Chu Jingyan, saying: "This is the content that Ms. Sun Yizhen sent to my email earlier, it's for you."

  Park Eun-na is in charge of C&O and connections with various entertainment companies, similar to a diplomat, her connections are not inferior to Choi Hyo-jin's, and the one who first spoke with Son Ye-jin was Park Eun-na.

  But Chu Jing said he really couldn't think of what Sun Yi Zhen could give him.

  She took over the note with some doubts, opened it and found a set of numbers that seemed to be a phone number. On the back side, there were a few more sentences.

  This is her private number, I've asked many people to get it for me. Whether you can get it or not depends on yourself, there's nothing more I can do to help.

  Chu Jing spoke with furrowed brows, for a moment or two he really couldn't understand what this sentence meant.

  It wasn't until a while later that I remembered jokingly asking Sohn Ye-jin to introduce me to Han Hyo-joo, and had already thrown the thought out of my mind, but unexpectedly Sohn Ye-jin really did ask her for me.

  An actor's private number is only given to people close by, the difficulty is indeed a bit big, Sun Yi Zhen is really paying attention.

  After some thought, Chu Jingyan still stuffed the note into his pocket.

  He looked up and found that Bae Sung-joon and Park Eun-na were exchanging silent glances.

  It's really a decline in social morality, who is doing this in front of? Chu Jingyan was very angry: "What's going on, do you want me to give you half a day off and book two seats at the Western restaurant so that you can get familiar with each other and increase your feelings?"

  Park Eun-na lowered her head, but Bae Sung-joon had a look of "a dead pig not afraid of boiling water" and smiled with his mouth open: "Then thank you, brother."

  "Get out." Chu Jingyan waved her hand.

  The office was left with only Chu Jingyan, standing in front of the window and taking out a note to look at it. Suddenly, he thought of Gao Yala for some reason, returned to his seat, put the note in the drawer, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.
