Chapter 89: Kim Tae-yeon's Trust

  If heaven is willing to favor Chu Jingyan, then at the time of reincarnation, he must not have made his wishes for this life clear.

  Chu Jing's lifelong wish was to have food and drink, then become a quiet and handsome man.

  But Heaven obviously only heard the second half of the sentence.

  At the same time, it's possible that heaven thought that giving such a young man such a handsome appearance might make him a scourge to society and a threat to all the good-looking girls in eighteen years.

  It's as if it was really destined by heaven that Chu Jingyan had been single all these years.

  Logically speaking, whether it's the environment or the work atmosphere, this kind of situation shouldn't happen, but that's just how things turned out.

  This is also one of the reasons why Chu Jingyan often complains about heaven and others.

  He's very normal, extremely normal, but any normal man at the age of twenty-three who is well-versed in the ways of men and women yet has no actual combat experience.

  This is actually a sick society.

  Chu Jing didn't think that being stabbed and hospitalized would be a big deal, not because he was arrogant, but because for such a long time, especially after really entering Dongfang International, all the relationships and characters around him knew that the first person of Dongfang International, who had been evaluated as an outstanding overseas successful person multiple times, might have been due to diplomatic needs or something else.

  That president who receives countless praise every year anyway.

  Everyone knows Chen Shuo, the heavyweight who regained absolute discourse power within the group a year ago.

  He has a good dog.

  A clever dog that bites people and bites very accurately and painfully.

  Even if it's just a dog, it's enough to be taken seriously.

  That dog is naturally Chu Jingyan, because of his direct reason, the Oriental International took down and made the previously stagnant marginal zone development plan continue smoothly.

  Because of him, countless high-ranking officials have fallen.

  Very dangerous, but also very reliable for those who need it.

  This is an outsider's evaluation of Chu Jingyan, with a tone of jealousy or something else, the evaluation is high but also harsh.

  Now that Chu Jingyan is pursuing spiritual realm, he feels it's time to let these people know how lovely, kind, handsome, serious, extraordinary and reliable this young master actually is.

  Everything I did before was out of helplessness, everyone.

  It's not easy to eat mixed rice.

  There is a towering building on the banks of the Huangpu River, and in the year it rose from the ground, someone gave her a beautiful name, Oriental Pearl.

  Above the bright pearl is the boundless blue sky, under the blue sky are countless lives.

  Looking down from the top, the crowd in the entire city is like ants coming and going, at a certain moment, everyone in this city is repeating the same actions and things.

  You come, I go.

  At this moment, those who can sit in a quiet and secluded room are undoubtedly superior to many people.

  Squares are everywhere, failures are all over the place. Most of the sheep and a small part of the wolves will always be the delicious meat under the wise tiger's mouth.

  A leisurely dressed Chen Shuo, after seeing off a local municipal bureau chief, sat back in his seat and had the leftover food on the table taken away, asked for a cup of clear tea, and savored it slowly.

  The secretary who had escorted the director back downstairs and returned came back to Chen Shuo's side and stood quietly beside him.

  "I heard that Chu Jingyan has entered the hospital?" Chen Hui put down his teacup and asked.

  The secretary nodded and said: "It's not very clear for the time being, but it is true that he was stabbed in the abdomen. Fortunately, there are no major problems, I think he can be discharged from the hospital after a while."

  "Who did it?" Chen Shuo asked.

  The secretary shook her head.

  "Who do you think did it?" Chen Shuo asked further.

  The middle-aged man who had been following Chu Jingyan for many years was stunned and shook his head again.

  "You don't know either?" Chen Shuo smiled and shook his head, "It seems that for the time being, it's really unclear who did this thing."

  The secretary remained silent, while Chen Shuo said on the side: "That kid must be very wronged now, thinking that he has been cheated by me, a fool who will run wild all over the world and not stay in the company to calm down. The cats and dogs have nowhere to vent their anger, so they can only find him to vent their anger. Look, this time it's not a mistake?"

  Chen Shuo looked at the middle-aged man and said: "Mu Long, if it were me who was stabbed with a knife, would I still be able to survive?"

  The middle-aged man didn't know what to say, so he shook his head for the third time.

  "You really don't know a lot of things that happened today." Chen Shuo picked up his teacup and took a sip, "I heard that Director Li's niece was also present at the time?"

  The middle-aged man was startled, it seemed that this willful person wasn't as ignorant of the matter as he had appeared. After some thought, the middle-aged man replied: "Yes, I heard that Miss Li and her friends were also present at the time."

  "Look, this thing has become interesting all of a sudden. Originally, it seemed like just some trick that Jin Xinyu's idiot had come up with, but with the addition of Li Zhihuan, there are now a lot of people who are trying to turn this into a conspiracy theory. Is the child at fault? The child is not at fault, it's just that Jin Xinyu has an idiot father and Li Zhihuan has an extremely clever uncle."

  Chen Shuo leaned back in his chair and laughed: "I'm more and more admiring myself, how did I find such a satisfactory director?"

  "Everyone wants to bind me and Gaoyang's family together, then let them bind us, what loss is mine?"

  Chen Shuo gazed out the window and continued, "It seems like no one has lost anything in this matter. Those who wanted to sever ties immediately did so, while those who thought themselves noble continue to think so. However, there's no one who wants to get to the bottom of things. No one has suffered a loss, except for that kid Chu Jingyan."

  The middle-aged man said: "In these years, the group has also given him a lot."

  "Should he?" Chen Shuo asked.

  The middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied: "It's deserved."

  "There's no such thing as giving and getting back," Chen Shuo said. "I put him in the Demon Snake Palace for so many years, he figured out all the ins and outs of Dongfang International's entertainment industry, Jin Long lost fair and square, Huang Dongzheng died with a clear conscience, he had his merits, this time it was real suffering, what do you think can make up for it?"

  The middle-aged man burst out laughing: "It's said that after being stabbed that night, Chu Jingyan didn't even bother to tend to his wounds and instead invited a female actress to dinner."

  "Actor?"

  "Seems like a promising newcomer, but I'm not quite sure of the name."

  "A man who has a woman is considered to have truly come of age, but it seems that it's still quite difficult for him to get the hang of it." Chen Shuo stroked his chin and said, "Lee Director's nephew is now the president of C&O, I heard he has a wide network of connections. If Chu Jingyan wants that woman, if there's any difficulty, let Li Yicheng take care of it."

  Chen Shuo thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Forget it, after going back if there's a need you can go and do it yourself. That kid has a strong sense of self-respect, but in front of women intelligence isn't what's most important. Whatever that little girl thinks don't bother with it, just ask them to be able to face each other and communicate."

  "Alright, I'll remember." The middle-aged man nodded.

  A small financial director of a subsidiary company, even if he is the president's confidant, can actually make Chen Shuo so concerned about women, this is the first time in all these years.

  It seems that after going back and forth, it's necessary to get along with Chu Jingyan, thought the middle-aged man.

  But thinking back, it seems that Chu Jingyan's assassination is not as simple as it seems.

  The person behind is who Chen Shuo must know.

  But he doesn't want to know now, and by helping Chu Jingyan like this, it's just to tell him that this time, you should just bear with it. I'm also bearing with it. Look, I'm still helping you chase women. I'm your elder brother, and I'm being so good to you. Don't take the small losses to heart.

  This matter is uncomfortable for anyone.

  Chu Jingyan would certainly not feel comfortable either.

  But what can be done about it, he is now a dog, not a wolf. Chen Shuo is a tiger, and his opponent is naturally also a tiger. When two old tigers are fighting, who will care about the thoughts of a dog?

  ..........

  ..........

  Kim Tae-yeon had just finished a personal schedule and hadn't even had time to eat a hot meal, but she hastily followed her manager onto the van headed for the TV station. The radio program she's in charge of is currently doing well in ratings. Under Girls' Generation's current "world against them" state, all Kim Tae-yeon can do is do her best with what she has.

  After taking the boxed lunch handed over by the broker, she ate two mouthfuls and lost her appetite. The high-pressure journey had squeezed out all her energy. Now Kim Tae-yeon just hoped that there would be more red lights on the road, so she could rest for a while.

  The contradictions on the Internet are becoming more and more intense, and the situation of being powerless in the face of the impending storm makes her extremely anxious.

  I was originally going to go solo, my goal was to be like Bao Er senior, why did it end up like this now?

  It hasn't been long since debut, but the kids in the group are growing up rapidly, and after all the hard work has come to nothing, there's really not much I can do.

  The agent saw Kim Tae-yeon's fatigue and comforted her before sighing.

  If he were here now, what would he say to himself?

  Kim Tae-yeon scratched her hair.

  The TV station has arrived.

  She's been here many times, so it feels like a familiar road. Holding a soft baby in the elevator, she can't help but let out a breath and rub her hands hard to warm up her still-cold ears. Such childish actions have always been something Kim Tae-yeon likes to do.

  At least this way I can be happy for a bit.

  Having fun by oneself is actually quite boring.

  The elevator doors opened.

  Kim Tae-yeon was about to go out, but why was a man standing at the empty elevator entrance?

  Actually, there were other people too.

  It's just that this man is particularly eye-catching.

  Kim Tae-yeon always thought that her skin was something that everyone should be jealous of, but he is the only man she knows who has skin as white and smooth as hers.

  But doesn't look girly at all.

  In Kim Tae-yeon's heart, this tall man with a smile that has dimples is really very masculine.

  The elevator doors closed quickly.

  One hand held the door that was about to close, Kim Tae-yeon took a few steps back, somewhat at a loss, and bowed her head with force, only to find that the scarf could only cover her mouth.

  Kim Tae-yeon quietly lifted her head.

  Then it was that familiar and warm smile again.

  "Kim Tae-yeon?" The man's tone was somewhat puzzled, and it wasn't until he took a closer look that he fully recognized himself. "It really is you, long time no see."

  Kim Tae-yeon lifted her head, and the hand that was placed in the warm pouch suddenly clenched into a fist.

  She looked up at the man with effort, then suppressed the sour and dry taste in her throat, bowed slightly and said softly.

  "Hello, Director Chu."

  Chu Jing smiled and waved his hand: "From now on, you don't have to bow when you see me, it's a bother."

  Kim Tae-yeon nodded after listening, thinking to herself that it had been almost half a year since that day and she hadn't seen him again. When would they meet again?

  The girl is still a girl, at this time, suddenly feeling a sense of grievance in her heart is not something that should be done, but after all, emotions can be hidden, but they absolutely cannot be erased.

  When facing difficulties, suddenly seeing someone you trust and can rely on.

  Perhaps this trust comes from Xiaofei's daily gentle rain.

  Perhaps this trust comes from the pride in Zheng Xiuyan's tone when she mentions him.

  Perhaps this trust came from that night when she carried her sister on her back and he carried his only female friend, they talked a lot and laughed even more.

  This trust encompasses many things.

  But most of all, it was Chu Jingyan's smile.

  He looks good when he smiles, and his smile makes people feel at ease.

  So Kim Tae-yeon relies on this trust.

  Even if it's half a year later and they run into each other again by chance.

  PS: I've always been conflicted about Kim Tae-yeon's character setting, and I'll continue to be conflicted.
