Chapter 91: Prelude to a Date

  Oriental International

  After a long time, Chu Jingyan returned to this building again, and she didn't have much feeling about it. The reason why she came here was naturally because of the recent incident where she was stabbed, and Li Zhihuan's uncle, who was also a director, got involved in it. With such heavyweight figures paying attention to this matter, Chu Jingyan naturally had no say in it.

  But after all, it was Chu Jingyan who got stabbed in the abdomen, not Li Zhihuan.

  But thinking again, such a delicate girl, not to mention others hurting her, even if she scratches herself, it would make Chu Jingyan, who is self-proclaimed to be fond of fragrant flowers and jade, feel heartbroken.

  Thinking back to that day, when she woke up and flipped through her phone, she found that Lee Ji-hyun and Park Ji-yeon had both sent her messages of condolence. Chu Jingyan felt a sense of wonder at how the world still valued good people after all.

  However, many things are still unclear. What is the relationship between Park Hyo-min and those people? Chu Jingyan still doesn't know until now, because that group of people has been taken away by Li Shiwu, where did they go specifically, who knows.

  Chu Jingyan roughly guessed that this matter would end here, but if Li Zhihuan was the one who got hurt, it might have been a different story. Who made himself not have a good father? Chu Jingyan spread his hands.

  Chen Shuo is still far away in China, so Chu Jingyan can only see Bai Jiming.

  The first sentence when I saw Bai Jiming was indeed within Chu Jingyan's expectations.

  "Let it go for now and don't worry about it. If there's any result, I'll tell you immediately. You won't be left hanging."

  Chu Jing nodded slightly.

  Bai Jiming took off his glasses and carefully wiped them with a cloth, looking at Chu Jingyan and saying: "Don't you feel even the slightest bit angry or wronged?"

  "It's just mental preparation." Chu Jing said with a smile.

  "It's best if you think that way." Bai Jiming put his glasses back on and said, "Director Li is not easy to deal with. After all, his niece was there at the time, fortunately she didn't get hurt, but you suffered instead."

  "It was originally supposed to be a favor to me, but it involved Miss Li, so it's my fault." Chu Jingyan said.

  After listening to Chu Jingyan's words, Bai Jiming slightly slanted his eyes and glanced at him.

  "Your energy is now all focused on C&O, whether it's reporting performance to the headquarters or going out to dinner with those big shots from CJ Entertainment, and your evaluation isn't bad, this point both I and the president have taken note of."

  "Everything was fine, the group had just stabilized, and it needed a long period of stable development. The development of the marginal area is underway, and the establishment of C&O has officially started to enter the entertainment circle, you have many things to do."

  Chu Jingyu fell silent for a moment before speaking up, "Don't worry, I won't harp on some minor issues."

  Bai Jiming nodded slightly with relief and said, "That's good."

  "Vice President, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Chu Jingyan stood up.

  "Oh?" Bai Jiming asked with a smile: "In such a hurry to leave, have a date?"

  Chu Jing nodded and smiled: "Yes."

  "With a girl?" asked Bai Jiming.

  I'm a fake, otherwise I'd be with the boy. Chu Jingyan was secretly worried in her heart, but still smiled and nodded: "Yes."

  "You'll see." Bai Jiming stood up, walked into the resting room behind the office, and soon came out with a card, saying: "Originally, Li Qi told me to help you with your position in Xinluo, I really thought it was unbelievable, but it seems to be true after all. It's a good thing anyway. This is that VIP card, you'll find it useful."

  Chu Jing spoke as he handed over the card, asking in puzzlement: "Can this thing be lent to others for use?"

  "When the time comes, just make a phone call and this card will be yours." Bai Jiming sat back in his seat and said, "No matter what kind of woman you're dating, you have to show your best side, because you absolutely don't know what position this woman will hold in your future days."

  "What if it's just an act?" Chu Jingyan asked.

  "Really?" Bai Jiming smiled and said, "If you're that kind of person, how do you explain that tonight is your first date with a woman?"

  Chu Jing smiled slightly.

  "Go ahead and try your first time, the best restaurant, the best red wine, service that meets all the vanity requirements of men, you have everything in front of your date, what's the point of making money if not to spend it like this."

  Chu Jingyan left Dongfang International but didn't go home immediately. Instead, he came to Cui Xiaozhen's studio.

  Upon seeing this charming woman again, Chu Jingyan hadn't spoken yet, but Cui Xiaozhen was the first to break the silence. The woman smiled in surprise and said: "Good heavens, our Director Chu would actually take the initiative to come to a place like this, did the sun not rise today?"

  "Miss Choi's joke is still as cold as ever." Chu Jingyan rubbed his nose.

  Now that Chu Jingyan has joined the great entertainment industry, he naturally needs to get along well with Cui Xiaozhen, a good person in the circle. The last party was an embodiment of this, and their private relationship is getting better and better. For this woman who is much older than himself, Chu Jingyan holds a kind intention.

  Although she wanted to be Chen Muqing's stepmother, it wasn't an easy thing to achieve.

  But this is their private matter, Chu Jingyan won't say more than she should.

  Having been to such a heavily perfumed place several times, I still felt somewhat unaccustomed. Declining Choi Hyo-jin's coffee, Chu Kyung-yeon spoke bluntly: "I have an appointment tonight and hope you can help me out. I'm not very familiar with this sort of thing."

  "A date?" Choi Hyo-jin's eyes widened, "With a girl?"

  "This is the second time today," Chu Jingyan took a deep breath: "Or with men?"

  "Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little surprised." Choi Hyo-jin smiled and waved his hand, saying: "I always thought you didn't seem to care about this kind of thing, but today you suddenly said that, it's really quite curious."

  Choi Hyo-jin stood up from his desk: "Then let's start with appearance, the first date is important, but it doesn't have to be too grand, do you want to look elegant or casual?"

  Isn't "elegant" used to describe women?

  "Take it easy." Chu Jingyan said.

  Choi Hyo-jin opened the office door and strode out: "Follow me, I guarantee you'll be carrying a beautiful woman home today."

  Why are people's minds so muddled and restless these days?

  Choi Hyo-jin held up each piece of clothing on Chu Jingyan's body, working while asking: "Is it convenient to reveal who the date is with?"

  There was no one around, and the staff and customers were all concentrated on the first and second floors. Chu Jingyan wasn't afraid of anything either, looking at himself in the mirror and replied: "Han Xiaozhu."

  "Ha Hye-ju?" Choi Hyo-jin thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers. "I remember now, she's one of the most good-looking juniors lately. I heard that C&O is planning a new drama and she's already finished casting, did you give her an inside track?"

  "This new play is not something I'm in charge of, so I don't know about it." Chu Jingyan shook his head and said, "If you hadn't told me, I might still be unaware of this matter."

  Choi Hyo-jin put down his clothes and walked to the closet to start selecting a tie, while Choo Kyung-yeon turned around and diligently played the role of a good clothes rack.

  Choi Hyo-jin walked up to Chu Jingyan with a handful of ties and asked while fiddling with them, "Do you like her very much?"

  "Her appearance is the type I like." Chu Jingyan said.

  "You're quite honest." Choi Hyo-jin put down the selected tie and started to tidy up Chu Kyung-yoon's hair, who was sitting in place. Choi Hyo-jin washed his hands and came behind him, saying while arranging, "I'm just curious about one thing."

  "What?"

  Choi Hyo-jin said, "That golden real estate's daughter likes you so much, but you've always been unmoved. Others say you're smart and know how to play hard to get, but I'm clear that you've always kept a distance from Miss Go. I want to ask why?"

  "Why?"

  "Yes, why?" Choi Hyo-jin said, "She likes you, and in terms of appearance, she should be just as good as Han Hyo-joo. No man can have no thoughts about a woman like that, so why do you?"

  "A person who works very hard gets nothing, while someone who just shows up gets high marks, it's really frustrating."

  "I'm tired." Chu Jingyan said with an open mouth.

  Tired?

  Chu Jingyan opened her eyes and said, "Because she is Ga Ya La, because her father is Gao Xingyang, and because her grandfather is even more powerful, Miss Cui, you seem to have thought of me as overly strong. All these years, I've been living a very bitter life, the only thing worth celebrating is that my emotional life has always been empty, which makes me feel very relaxed."

  "I haven't tried it before, but I know that no matter how sensible Yara is, there will still be many places where I have to do things her way."

  "Am I right in saying this, Miss Choi?"

  The Chu Jingyan in the mirror had changed his hairstyle. The original bangs were slightly shorter, revealing his forehead, making him look neat and tidy, refreshing beyond compare.

  Choi Hyo-jin put down his scissors and smiled faintly: "You want to live a simple life, that's a good thing."

  "But why are you so lacking in confidence in this regard?" Choi Hyo-jin wiped his hands with a towel, "I've always told others that C&O's Chu Jingyan will definitely become a formidable figure in the future, and your actions over the years have indeed lived up to this evaluation, so why do you lack confidence in this aspect?"

  "Is it because you feel inferior?" Chu Jingyan shook his head, "I just hate others pointing fingers at me."

  "In the end, you still love yourself the most and can't bear to suffer a little bit of grievance." Choi Hyo-jin said, "Or in other words, even if Miss Go likes you so much, it's not enough for you to force yourself to do things you don't like just because of her. I think except for your sister who is an artist, no one else can have this treatment."

  Chu Jingyan did not speak and did not object.

  Chu Jingyan was very satisfied with himself in front of the mirror after putting on the clothes prepared by Cui Xiaozhen for him.

  Choi Hyo-jin stood by with a satisfied nod.

  "Go for it, your first date in life, wish you a success."

  "Thank you for your kind words." Chu Jingyan walked out of Cui Xiaozhen's workshop.
