This is my life

  Although Chen Lan only said half of the sentence, Yin Xian understood that she meant: she didn't look like a rich person at all. Or to put it more bluntly, her temperament was not right.

  "What you said is right, I don't look like a rich person." Yun Xian acknowledged.

  "This isn't a bad thing." Chen Lan said with a smile, "From the moment I saw you at the hotel, I've been quietly observing you. Throughout the banquet, you were interrupted seven times while eating and had to get up to exchange pleasantries with people. And these people... haha, forgive me for speaking bluntly, are all basically nobodies who can't even be considered presentable. People who have some status naturally know something about your identity and wouldn't dare to offend you..."

  Yin Xian was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. This woman's sharp and fierce personality just now was exactly right! Otherwise, how could she possibly be the head of such a large investment company in East Asia? You know, the amount of funds at her disposal... is no joke.

  "But you've always been very patient, boss. Even when that... uh, someone said some unpleasant things, you didn't show any signs of anger." Chen Lan continued his argument.

  "What's the point of getting angry with him? I won't be meeting him again anyway." Yoon Hyun said with a chuckle.

  Is it true that if a dog bites you once, you have to bite back?

  "This mentality is hard to come by." Chen Lan sighed, "So I know, boss, you must be a very good person to talk to, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to say so much to you."

  "Hmm. I don't have a temper." Yoon Hyun smiled slightly.

  "This makes me even more curious, how can someone with no temper get to your level? Isn't that strange?" Chen Lan smiled playfully, "No one is without temper, even Buddha has a spark of fire, let alone humans? And especially you, as a rich man of this caliber, there's absolutely no reason for you to be affected by those trivial matters!"

  "So... you think you've found something that will make me furious?" Yun Xian was taken aback, and asked back with a smile.

  "You have considerable persistence in your music career... or rather, I think it's safe to say that you have a strong commitment to your passion." Chen Lan smiled, "This matter, I think you would never give up on no matter what. If someone showed an inappropriate attitude towards this, your counterattack would certainly be fierce. So, I understand now, as long as YS is still around, I must serve the you who stays in the Korean entertainment circle."

  It's clear that this company is Yoon Hyun's one-man show, so it's only natural to serve him. So, investing in the East Asian entertainment industry, choosing between China and Korea, isn't a difficult proposition?

  As for the Korean entertainment industry, it doesn't make as much money as China's...

  Does he need to make money from this?

  Besides, isn't it the job of these professional people to make this investment profitable?

  "I still don't quite understand your logic." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment before saying, "Why does being good at talking mean I'll be very persistent in my... uh, I'd rather call it my entertainment career than a hobby."

  "No one is without a bottom line." Chen Lan said with a smile, "You don't care because these things haven't touched your bottom line, or after weighing it up, you think it's not worth reacting to and investing energy in. Just like today, another project found me, very stable, but we don't need such a stable project to make a profit, it's not cost-effective."

  Yin Xian was taken aback for a moment, carefully pondering it, and indeed that's the case. Many times, he himself didn't even bother to do anything about some things, simply thinking it wasn't necessary.

  Originally being lazy can also be said in such a scientific and reasonable way.

  As expected, it's an investor! That's professional! Yoon Hyun nodded silently.

  "There are always some things that make you feel like putting in the effort, without considering the input and output. Chen Lan continued to analyze, "This kind of thing is unreasonable, even if it's a very rational person, such things will still happen, so... I speculate, your... sorry, I'd rather call it a hobby career, should be one of them. Just now I asked the person in charge of this concert, you're performing so hard this time, and the income can't even cover the weekly profit of YS China..."

  Yin Xianlu revealed a smile. Let her say that, and it really became her own hobby...

  "So you're saying I'm out of my mind for doing this?" Yun Xian retorted.

  "No, that's two different things." Chen Lan shook his head. "You have the qualifications to do what you like, not for a living. Moreover, as I just said, this is the bottom line. Everyone has their own bottom line, and this is one of them. If others touch it, you will get angry, which is normal, just like what happened at that awards ceremony in Korea in 2008..."

  "Now that you mention it, it seems quite reasonable." Yoon Hyun thought about it carefully and indeed...

  "But I think, when you were rebounding, your performance was a bit... how to put it, the scope was too small." Seeing Yin Xian accept his setup, Chen Lan started talking about other things.

  "What's going on? What does it mean?" Yin Xian was stunned for a moment.

  "Your counterattack or counterattack is often done by yourself. Let's use the previous award ceremony as an example, you used your own way of winning awards overseas to clear your name." Chen Lan continued, "This approach is very laborious."

  "What about your suggestion?" Yoon Hyun asked back with a smile.

  "Use money, smash." Chen Lan burst out laughing, "That's what people in China do."

  Yin Xian was stunned, himself... seemed to have never considered this approach.

  Including the previous CCM thing, I and several T-ara girls were all disgusted to death. The solution I thought of seemed pretty good to me, but somehow...

  It's really too slow and too laborious.

  Just buy CCM directly, it's not worth much money anyway...

  Now that you mention it, it does seem quite moving.

  But... something doesn't feel right? Yoon Hyun fell into thought.

  "But you didn't do that, boss. This proves that if you want to follow some rules of the game, then this attitude has doomed your so-called career as a good thing." Chen Lan concluded. "And once it's a hobby, these completely unreasonable things have a sufficient explanation, and everything becomes reasonable."

  "Hmm, going back and forth, are you saying I'm just playing around now?" Yoon Hyun smiled, he almost got wrapped around the finger of this woman in front of him. He was joking about investing in YS for fun, that's what she meant, right?

  "Yes." Chen Lan said firmly, "If you really treat what you're doing as a career, it shouldn't be like this now."

  "What do you think it should be like?" Yin Xian was slightly irritated by Chen Lan's words, but couldn't refute her. This woman's analysis of his psychology was very profound.

  "To succeed, no matter what. Chen Lan said: 'Use the simplest method to solve all problems and contradictions most efficiently. Put your energy on the overall situation rather than trivial matters. Just like your attitude towards ys.'"

  Yin Xian nodded: "Not long ago, I was still talking to someone about the rules of the game. You said that following the rules of the game is wrong?"

  "No." Chen Lan shook his head. "I just wanted to remind you that you have the qualifications to set your own rules for the game. When you think this rule is really troublesome."

  "Is this what you wanted to tell me today?" Yun Xian was taken aback.

  "Yes. Although this is your way of handling things, please also think of us when necessary. We have an old saying here called 'when the lord is humiliated, his subjects die', which may not be entirely suitable for this situation, but if you encounter any more troublesome matters in Korea that can be resolved with money and won't affect your gaming mindset, it's worth considering." Chen Lan nodded very seriously.

  "You really think I'm playing a game!" Yun Xian's face turned black with anger.

  "This is always one more choice, isn't it?" Chen Lan smiled and said, "Besides, I also hope that you, boss, can give us some guidance on what kind of investments we need to make in Korea. And helping you vent your anger by spending money would be a good option."

  "Isn't your investment supposed to make money?" Yoon Hyun is no longer a dark horse, but has a strong desire in his heart.

  "If I really want to make money, I will insist on not investing in Korea." Chen Lan showed her sharp personality again, "How much can you earn?"

  Yoon Hyeon: "Isn't this about considering industrial layout?"

  "Isn't the layout just a casual move, placed randomly without expecting it to have any effect? Wherever it's placed, isn't that just up to one's mood?" Chen Lan asked with a smile, turning the question back on Yin Xian.

  He really doesn't understand, so he chooses to shut up.

  "You don't look like someone who works in finance, but rather someone who studies psychology."

  "I have a master's degree in psychology." Chen Lan smiled slightly.

  "It sounds like you have more than one master's degree?"

  "Two. But I have only one Ph.D."

  "Everyone says female PhDs are intimidating, I didn't think so before, but you really make me feel that way." Yoon Hyun sighed.

  "This has nothing to do with my degree. It's just that, boss, you're really... not good at hiding your true thoughts." Chen Lan said with a smile, "Your ideas can be inferred from your actions, so it's only natural that things would turn out this way!"

  "I think it's better for me to have less contact with you in the future." Yoon Hyun said with a hint of fear.

  "Thank you for the compliment, boss." Chen Lan took Yin Xian's words as a great praise. "As a token of gratitude, I'd like to remind you that when you were eating just now, your mind was elsewhere, but many interesting things happened..."

  "What?" Yeon-hyeon was indeed hiding in the corner, not paying attention to anything else.

  "There are nine girls in Girls' Generation and it seems like several of them have a crush on you, boss... but it seems like you don't have those kinds of thoughts about them."

  "How did you notice this? I didn't even feel it." Yoon Hyun chuckled.

  "You didn't pay attention to any girl all night, just sitting there by yourself. It's strange not to care about the person you like in this kind of situation..." Chen Lan said with a smile.

  Yin Xian nodded and continued to lower his head, facing the dish in front of him, although he hadn't eaten much, but indeed had hardly lifted his head.

  "But they are different, one girl looked at you more than 20 times in two hours, but didn't come over to talk to you. Another girl tried to come over and chat with you three times, although she couldn't make it each time due to some reasons, but it's obvious that she cares about you sitting there alone. And also..."

  "Wait a minute..." Yoon Hyun cut off Chen Lan's words, "Are you actually an investor or a detective? How can you observe so carefully?"

  "If you can't read between the lines, it's easy to be deceived when facing some projects!" Chen Lan said matter-of-factly. "Many of the projects that come to us for investment are packaged well, but they're all scams."

  Yin Xian nodded, and what he said really made sense.

  "And besides, boss, I'm a woman!" Chen Lan said with her second reason.

  Yin Xian was defeated and retreated.

  Women are naturally gossipy. Even a hermit from his previous life would understand this!

  To avoid being stripped bare by the woman in front of him, Yoon Hyun quickly ended the conversation that had nothing to do with anything important and almost escaped.

  That night, he took a plane back to South Korea.

  Yoon Hyun-sang's statement about Girls' Generation is that the song he recorded with inspiration, he needs to realize this song as soon as possible, but in this regard, it is clear that he does not have this condition.

  Although this is not the main reason, Yoon Hyun also had some thoughts on writing songs quickly. After all, "Girls' Generation" and "Missa" are like two big mountains that weigh on Yoon Hyun, making him a bit depressed.

  So, this lie is spoken with an innocent heart.

  Of course, seeing Kim Tae-yeon's expression of relief after knowing that she was going to leave overnight, Yoon Hyeon suddenly felt like he was a bit too timid... almost impulsively calling her to go with him together...

  But he didn't end up doing anything out of the ordinary after all. Because he remembered what that woman had said to him.

  Although he doesn't have such strong ability of observing words and expressions, he is not stupid either. He still has some feelings.

  Have a good impression of yourself? Kim Tae-yeon should be one of them, right? Maybe the girl who said she looked at herself twenty or thirty times throughout the dinner was her?

  If you don't like her, then leave her alone. If this joke has gone too far, it will be hard to take back.

  As for that anything thing before, it's better to remember it temporarily. In case Lin Yun'er goes crazy in the future, it will be a good way to restrain her.

  ……

  Yoon Hyun flew back to Seoul overnight and went straight to the recording studio at his company.

  Yoon Hyun found some inspiration on the plane again, and very decisively overturned all his previous ideas in the car, writing a new song. The previous idea was completely transformed by Yoon Hyun into an English song.

  By the time the sun rose on the second day, Yun Hyun's new song was already composed.

  And both songs were completed.

  Listening to the accompaniment of two songs, Yoon Hyun suddenly felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

  What that woman said last night really made sense.

  But what's wrong with that? I like it! Playing my own music, making myself happy, and also making people who like my music happy, isn't that enough?

  Why do you have to pretend to be a rich person to scare others? Like the female member of CCM's girl group I, Kang Min-kyung, who clearly wants to go on variety shows and have fun, but can't let go of her image and family background.

  What a pity!

  They say money can't buy happiness, but I like my life now and there's nothing wrong with it!

  Of course, what that woman said also made sense. Next time when encountering things that are not directly related to oneself but cannot be avoided, such as this time's CCM's nonsense, it's better to use money to solve the problem...

  Then, thinking and thinking, Yin Xian fell asleep in the recording studio.
