Chapter 29 Hidden Camera

  The next morning, Chen Shao got up early to go for a run; after returning home, he went to wash and prepare breakfast for Zhiyan; even if she had run away from home, she still had to let her go to school.

  "Zhiyan, wake up! It's 7 o'clock and you need to get up for breakfast before going to school. If not, you'll be late!" Walking into Zhiyan's room, Chen saw that she was still sleeping soundly. He truly admired her from the bottom of his heart; even when others were still asleep, she wasn't afraid of being bought by someone else.

  She called out but got no response, so she walked over and shook her, saying "Zhiyan, get up, you'll be late!"

  "Uh... okay, mom knows, can I sleep a bit more? Just for a little while..." mumbled without opening her eyes, then turned over and continued sleeping.

  Seeing this, Chen Shao couldn't help but smile wryly; just as he was about to call out to her again, Zhiyan suddenly woke up and muttered to herself "I think I ran away from home yesterday, then I met Uncle, and then I stayed at Uncle's house... so now I'm at Uncle's house, which means the one who called me just now wasn't Mom?" After finishing speaking, she carefully turned her body around and sneakily looked at Chen Shao, and after confirming that it was indeed him, let out a sharp cry "Ah, Ah Ze Xi! Don't you know that you can't just barge into a girl's room? And don't you know to knock on the door and ask for permission before entering?"

  Chen Shaona is a black line "I knocked, can you hear me? I came in and called you, but you didn't respond. What's the point of knocking on the door?"

  "You can't just enter a girl's room casually either. What if you see something you shouldn't, I don't care, I'll hold you responsible" Ji Yeon said with a pout.

  "Responsible? What have you seen me do? Look at your current state, still hiding in the quilt. I can see what's going on. You still want me to be responsible? Too lazy to bother with you. Hurry up and get out of bed within 10 minutes, or else I'll eat breakfast by myself." Chen Shao was too lazy to talk to her, her thoughts were always so erratic; she walked out of the room while warning her.

  "Ah, Uncle Chen, you've made breakfast, that's great! I'll get up now, save some for me! Hey, didn't you hear me, you smelly old uncle!" Knowing that Chen Shao had made breakfast, he no longer felt lazy and jumped out of bed, shouting at Chen Shao who was already walking out of the room.

  Half an hour later, Zhiyan appeared in the living room dressed neatly and saw Chen Shao drinking porridge there. She rushed to the dining table, picked up a bowl beside her and started drinking.

  "It's really delicious, Uncle, what kind of porridge is this?" he asked Chen Shao, who was sitting across from him, after taking a big gulp and finishing half the bowl.

  "This is a specialty breakfast in China, fried dough sticks and egg congee" Chen Shao didn't hesitate, directly telling her "Alright, hurry up and eat, you're already late, if you keep hesitating, I estimate that by the time we get to school, you'll definitely be punished with standing detention"

  "It's nothing, anyway we're used to it, and it doesn't make a difference this one time;" she replied to Chen Shao while drinking, her tone really did sound like she was used to it.

  "Later you can go hitchhike by yourself, I'll leave the money on the coffee table in the living room for you. After I finish eating, I'll head to the company first and come back directly after school is over tonight. Tonight, I have a birthday party with your sister Yuner and others, did you hear that?" Chen Shao said to Zhiyan after finishing his meal and wiping his mouth.

  "Alright, Azizi, why are you so long-winded?"

  "Well, that's it then. I'll go first, bye."

  "Bye-bye"

  Chen Shao is still the same, riding his own mount to go to the company; now he has just returned to South Korea and is not yet an adult, so he doesn't have a driver's license for cars. However, for rich people, these are not problems, throwing some money around can get them; it's just a matter of waiting for a while.

  Go to the company and go straight to find Li Xiuman, because he knows that he must have seen last night's video too, and will also come to talk to himself. Since they can all think of it, then there is no need to go to the practice room again, so as not to trouble.

  All the way, every woman he saw was staring at him with a silly face; in their eyes, Chen Shao was really too stylish, and every move would be infinitely magnified by them; just now, Chen Shao had just passed by the front desk, and those two reception ladies were already blushing.

  "Wow, although I see Chen Shao every day, but he looks different every day? So stylish!"

  "Right, right, and the most important thing is that his daily outfit matches him perfectly, cool, and when he smiles, there's a bit of mischief, it's killing me"

  "Especially that hairstyle, two blue long hairs covering half of his face; although I have never seen his true full face, but I think it won't be bad either."

  "I've searched this hairstyle online, and it seems like no one in the world has done it before. It must be his own design. If I were a guy, that would be great, then I could also have a hairstyle like this."

  Never mind these silly things for now.

  "Uncle Li, I'm here. Is there anything you want to ask?" Chen Shao walked into Li Xiuman's office without greeting and went straight to the point.

  "Uh, I watched the video from last night, the song is really classic and touching, you can tell from the comments online; it's just that we didn't prepare ahead of time, now wasting this opportunity is really a mistake. Li Xiūmǎn thought about it and felt regretful, missing such a good chance to promote, how could he not feel regret?"

  "It's okay, I didn't expect this to happen either. Last night I just wanted to sing a song for my father, but I didn't think it would be filmed and spread online, and it would cause such a big commotion." He really didn't expect this;

  "Or shall I upload your information onto our company's official website?"

  "No, not yet. At least we have to wait until Xiaoli and Dongfang Shen's album is released before I can upload my information. And I also need to wait for the news from MBC to see if my variety show plan is approved." After rejecting Li Xiuman's idea, she handed him the plan in her hand; "This is the plan I made overnight, you take a look and then pass it to MBC, as for the song you asked for, I'll bring it to you in two days, if nothing else comes up, I'll leave now and go see Yu teacher."

  "It's okay, you can go down now?" Li Xiufull saw Chen Shao leave and opened the plan he gave to himself "Infinite Challenge", sounds good, just don't know if it will work or not. Doesn't matter, just like what he said, this is just a test stone, even if it sinks, nothing will happen, but if it's a hit... Hehe

  Out of Li Xiufull's office, took out the phone to check the time "Oh, it's already 10 o'clock; two hours have passed like this. Hmm, ask Manager Piao how his task went last night, if he did well, then I just need to take care of this good thing in my hand."

  "Director Park, how's the thing I asked you to prepare coming along?"

  "Mr. Chen, it's already done, now the stuff is in Lotte Department Store's hardware store, do we send it over to you or what?"

  "Oh, I've already taken care of it. Don't worry about sending it over, I'll go pick it up myself and get something set on that thing while I'm at it. Just let the store owner know, and if Ahn Hyun-ji has time, you can also ask her to meet me there."

  "Alright Chen Shao, I'll go tell Miss Yun Xi."

  "Hmm, you're very efficient, after this month ends, you'll be transferred to China, okay?"

  "Thank you, Chen Shao, I will work even harder."

  This Mr. Park is now the general manager of Lotte Department Store, and Chen Shao had wanted him to go to China to help with things there for a long time, but he thought it would be better to let him take care of Yoon-ah's sister for a while first, until he got familiar with things over there; right now Korea's main development is in the entertainment and fashion industries, and Chen Shao has a certain amount of resources in both areas - as for the entertainment industry, never mind, but when it comes to fashion, there's just one Lotte Department Store that's missing; however, this Lotte Department Store is the high-end shopping paradise of all Korea, and only people with status can shop here; Chen Shao being able to take over this place is already quite an achievement.

  "Let's go to Lotte Department Store, although it's on my account, but I don't think I've been there before? Let's take this opportunity to check it out?" Hanging up the phone, Chen Shao thought to himself, but still wanted to call Yuner.

  "Hello... hello," why hasn't anyone answered yet? Could they be practicing or something? Just as I was about to hang up, Yuner's voice came through.

  "What's wrong, little whistle?"

  Listening to Yuner's heavy breathing, she should have practiced again. "Oh, isn't today our birthday? So this afternoon, let's go play at the amusement park, Xiaoxian and the others must be hiding from me to celebrate my birthday at my villa, if that's the case, then we'll go play and give them time to prepare, so they won't have to deceive me by making excuses."

  "Huh, how did you know? We were so careful, it's impossible for the news to leak out?"

  "I know what you're thinking, but I'm going to Lotte Department Store now to find Yoon-hee unnie. You practice for a bit and then come meet me there. If you can't find me, ask your sister."

  "Ah, going to Lotte to find you? Can I get in? It seems like only rich people can enter there?"

  "Idiot, don't forget who's place that is, and isn't your sister the deputy manager there? If you can't get in, just call your sister to come down and pick you up."

  "Oh yeah, I forgot about this, okay wait a minute, let me finish contacting and then I'll go over"

  "Uh, before you come over again, go to my place first and take a shower. I'll celebrate your birthday today, and then let them give us a surprise tonight; there's a surprise for you!"

  "What surprise?" Hearing that there's a surprise, Yun'er immediately perked up; but how would Chen Shao tell her?

  "You'll know when the time comes, that's it, hang up"

  "Hey, hey, little whistle? Ah, damn it!" Yun'er cursed as she saw the busy tone on her phone.

  "What's wrong, Yoon-ah sister? What did oppa say to make you so angry?" Little Hyun asked with a bit of trepidation in his heart, wondering what Chen Shao had said to make his Yoon-ah sister so angry.

  "No, he told me to finish my practice and go find him at Lotte Department Store. He said we'd go to the amusement park together in the afternoon for my birthday, and that our plan to surprise him with a birthday celebration had already been discovered by him." Yoon-ah explained hastily, realizing her careless remark had drawn everyone's attention.

  "Lotemart? It's a big deal, how can Chen Shao go in there? That's a place where only the rich can go! Yuner, you take your sister there, okay? I haven't even been there yet;" Xika heard Yuner say she was going to Lotemart and immediately cooed at her; She was the one among the nine who loved beauty the most, and had no resistance to cosmetics whatsoever. Every time they went shopping, she bought more makeup than clothes. Now that she heard Yuner was going to the best shopping paradise in Korea, how could she not be excited?

  "Sister, I'm taking you there, I'm going to find someone, not window shopping?" Now everyone doesn't know what Chen Shao does, only knows he's very rich; Yun'er and the others didn't say anything either.

  "Oh, okay, but why are we preparing birthday stuff at home while you're out having fun?" Knowing there was no hope, Xika didn't persist, but still had to complain a little.

  "Sister, you're speaking strangely. Today is also my birthday, right? Don't tell me that all of you only remember Xiao Hua's birthday and forgot about mine?" In response to Xi Ka's complaint, Yun Er truly felt helpless.

  "Ah, right! Chen Shao and Yun'er were born on the same year, month, and day. Today is also Yun'er's birthday. We've been thinking about how to celebrate Chen Shao's birthday, but we forgot about Yun'er's." Yu Li chimed in at the right moment;

  "Sisters won't really have forgotten my birthday, will they?" Yoon-ah asked with a hint of uncertainty.

  "Sorry, Yoon-ah, we really didn't mean to." Taeyeon said with a slightly embarrassed tone towards Yoon-ah; but if one paid close attention, they could definitely see the laughter in her eyes. However, Yoon-ah wasn't in the mood to observe that carefully at this time.

  "What's going on? My sisters are really too much," Yoon-ah heard Tae-yeon's apology, she had already confirmed that her sisters had forgotten her birthday, feeling down, she walked out of the practice room alone;

  Looking at Yoon-ah's dejected appearance, Soo-young really wanted to run up and tell her the truth; but unfortunately she was being held back by Soo-young and Sunny, who were also covering her mouth and threatening her; in such a situation, she was truly helpless.

  Everyone saw Yoon-ah walk out of the practice room with a lifeless look in her eyes and started discussing it.

  "Are we overdoing it?"

  "In order to give her a surprise, we can only do it this way;"

  "So is this hidden camera considered successful now?"

  "It's definitely going to be successful, haha"

  Xiao Xian looked at this group of unreasonable sisters who had gone crazy again and was really helpless.
