Chapter Seven You Smiled

  Chu Jingyun didn't know why a woman like Li Yoon-hee would choose to become an actress. Having been in Seoul for many years, he was well aware that the country's entertainment industry was booming, and although he didn't understand the market, using TV dramas and idol stars to bring huge profits to his own country seemed somewhat petty.

  Chu Jingyu was very clear about what kind of person Li Yunxi's grandfather was, but if he knew that in the Seoul entertainment circle, there were many people like Li Yunxi who came from a wealthy family and became celebrities, he wouldn't have had these doubts.

  But Chu Jingyu forgot one thing, Li Yunxi has a luxurious life, but she is still a woman, who looks better than ordinary people, and her material life is better than most people. For her, there is no temptation at all. So what's the attention of the crowd? Being chased by the world, being treated as a god, that kind of life, maybe it's also a pursuit.

  It's no wonder he doesn't understand these things, Chu Jingyan's life is somewhat closed off, and this is also an unavoidable thing.

  Chu Jingyan silently dealt with a bowl of rice, Go Ara and Lee Yoon-hee sat side by side. Under Lee Yoon-hee's entanglement, Go Ara quietly recounted the events of that night to her in detail. Lee Yoon-hee's eyes occasionally drifted towards Chu Jingyan, who only knew how to lower his head and eat, with a slightly complex gaze, but also some surprise.

  "Are you still at that store?" Lee Yoon-hee asked, "Although I don't know what Kim Sa-hyung's son is like, but since he's the real manager of that store, can you still stay there?"

  Gao Yala heard Li Yunxi say this, and only then did she remember that she had actually forgotten about it. If because of her, Chu Jingyan lost his job, whose responsibility would it be? Thinking of this, Gao Yala also looked towards Chu Jingyan.

  Chu Jingyan raised her head and saw that the two women opposite her were staring at her. She rubbed her lips in confusion, only to realize there was no rice grain on them before asking, "What are you looking at me for?"

  "Didn't you hear my question?" Li Yunxi furrowed his brow.

  Chu Jingyan picked up the glass of iced water and took a sip, saying: "I quit that job."

  "Is it because you're helping Yara out?"

  Chu Jing shook his head and said, "It's not entirely for that reason. According to conventional understanding, you can think of it as people moving upwards and water flowing downwards. I couldn't possibly stay in a nightclub for my whole life. Everyone has ambitions, it's just a matter of strength or weakness. When I feel I have the ability to take on better work, of course, I'll go to a better place."

  "So you're getting promoted?"

  It's a pretty good metaphor, Chu Jingyan nodded in agreement, indicating that Li Yunxi had described it very aptly.

  Li Yunxi smiled: "Beating people can still get promoted, where can I find such a good thing?"

  Gao Yalang let out a sigh of relief, looking at Chu Jingyan and asked: "Sir, your promotion is indeed something worth celebrating. If it has caused you any trouble, I hope you will speak up, and I will make amends."

  Chu Jing nodded: "No need."

  Li Yunxi didn't expect Chu Jingyan to respond like that, and sighed that this world really has all kinds of people, while also realizing that Chu Jingyan was not someone worth talking to.

  Gao Yala didn't dare to look at Chu Jingyan, who lowered his head and shoveled the rice into his mouth in a cycle. Before long, a large serving of covered rice was gone.

  From the conversation between Gao Ya and Li Yunxi, we can get a lot of information. For example, both are artists from the brokerage company sent by Chu Jingyan earlier, both are actors under the company's banner, and both were first in the appearance group that year.

  Never thought that I could have dinner with artists, although the two in front of me are really too young and don't have much fame, but Chu Jingyan's mood is a bit subtle, could it be that because of Chen Shuo's invitation, my life has already started to change?

  This conclusion is a bit absurd, but occasionally driving and occasionally running into people who shouldn't be met again, Chu Jingyan feels that he really likes to think about some things now, young people with sunny and optimistic personalities should not be overly sentimental.

  "Your personality is really not likable," said Li Yunxi.

  Chu Jing put down the tuning spoon and looked at Li Yunxi with a serious expression, saying: "Actually, in many cases, I have a lot to say, I'm very outgoing, and I especially like to help others, you just don't know that."

  "Really?"

  Chu Jing wiped his mouth with a napkin and picked up his water cup, saying, "Of course it's fake."

  Li Yunxi: “I don’t know what to say.”

  A meal was eaten very happily, in Chu Jingyan's concept, eating all the rice is happy, unfortunately, the two women opposite had obviously not been hungry, and a small portion of food still left more than half.

  "I'm going to the restroom." Li Yuxi stood up and said to Gao Ya after a while, then floated away.

  Only Chu Jingyan and Gao Yala were left on the dinner table, the atmosphere was a bit dull. Chu Jingyan didn't think so, because this kind of situation often occurred in his previous life, but Gao Yala was a bit restless. She really wasn't familiar with Chu Jingyan, but she had been helped by him in a big way. If she showed too much indifference, wouldn't it seem like she was ungrateful?

  Gao Yala unconsciously pouted her mouth.

  When Gao Yala came to her senses, she found that Chu Jingyan was looking at her, still with a somewhat lazy look, slightly drooping eyelids, and tightly closed lips.

  But Gaoyala still blushed and lowered her head with a hint of guilt.

  What's going on? Gaiyara wasn't clear about it either.

  "I feel that you, sir, are a very good person, so why do you deliberately put on this facade that makes people afraid to get close to you?" Finally, Highya La summoned up the courage and asked out her doubts.

  Chu Jing furrowed his brow, carefully thinking back to what he had done that would make Gao Ya think he was a good person. After racking his brains to no avail, he could only ask: "Where did you see that I'm a good person?"

  Gao Ya La said: "You helped me."

  Chu Jing shook his head and said, "I've said it before, I'm actually helping myself."

  "Not everyone is willing to stick their neck out for someone they've never met."

  Chu Jingyan thought it was better for her to accept the good person hat that Ga Ya had put on her.

  Gao Yala seemed to have adapted to the way of conversation with Chu Jingyan, and carefully asked: "You've resigned from your job, what are your plans for the future? If the new job doesn't go smoothly, if there's anything I can help with, maybe I can lend a hand."

  "Not needed."

  "Okay." An expected response.

  Chu Jingyan felt that he had spoken a bit too much and was somewhat impolite, although he himself didn't have much politeness to begin with. Gao Ya's words didn't have any other meaning, and Chu Jingyan also knew that he was being a bit petty-minded in his suspicions of others. After all, the other person was just a 17-year-old kid.

  "After some thought, Chu Jingyan spoke up: 'I don't have any other meaning, I have a new plan.'"

  Gao Yala nodded: "That's good."

  The atmosphere was a bit dull, and Gao Ya Mo touched her own hair and said: "May I be so bold as to ask, what is your plan?"

  Chu Jingyu glanced out of the window and said, "If I have time, maybe I'll go read a book or something."

  "Attending university?"

  Chu Jing nodded slightly.

  Gao Yala laughed excitedly: "That's really great, don't look at me like this, I'll be taking the university entrance exam soon too. If possible, we might even become schoolmates."

  Chu Jingyan found that she really liked the slightly intoxicating sunlight in the afternoon, just like many years ago in that amusement park, at a similar time, but with different people. However, the feelings and emotions she experienced back then and now seemed to have some similarities. There were people who felt a little happy because of her.

  Gao Yala just now emotional ups and downs Chu Jingyan did not know whether it was happiness, but strictly speaking, a person in front of another person's bright smile, perhaps can be considered as.

  Then Chu Jingyan also started smiling, with the corners of his mouth gradually rising, finally revealing his white and clean front teeth.

  "You're laughing." Galah said in surprise.

  Chu Jing said with a sip of water, "Everyone will laugh at this."

  "But you're a first-timer."

  "We've only met twice."

  Gao Yala bowed her head in embarrassment and said: "Sorry, I forgot."

  Li Yunxi walked back and looked at Gao Yala and Chu Jingyan with some surprise: "You two seem to be having a great conversation?"

  "Can we go now?"

  Li Yunxi nodded.

  "Then let's go."

  Bring the two back to that company, Chu Jingyan drove the car back to the clubhouse, and Bai Jiming's meeting with Li Yongchang had already ended. At this time, Bai Jiming was sitting in the private room drinking tea, his face slightly red, apparently having drunk some wine.

  Chu Jingyun handed the car key to Li Qi and walked forward, saying: "Mr. Bai."

  "Back?" Bai Jiming gestured for Chen Shuo to sit down, poured him a cup of clear tea, and asked, "Are you getting used to the new house?"

  Chu Jingyan said: "A good house is naturally habitable."

  Bai Jiming nodded and looked at Chu Jingyan silently for a while before speaking, "Jingyan, the matter of Jin Shouzhang can't be left like this."

  Chu Jing said quietly listening.

  Bai Jiming put down his teacup, waved his hand to let his subordinates disperse, and then said: "Many things in our eyes can't just look at the surface. You are very clear that our company's water is very messy, to put it bluntly, there are too many people, which is not a good thing for most people."

  "Some people don't know what it means to stop in time, while others are too weak and timid, neither of which is right."

  Chu Jingyan knew he could take Bai Jiming's words as Chairman Chen's will, so he listened carefully.

  "There are some things, after this Sunday, you need to start gradually adapting and taking over."

  Bai Jiming's eyes were deep and profound as he looked at Chen Shuo and asked: "Can I?"

  Chu Jingyan is not a fool, after being silent for a while, he said: "As long as Hui Chang and you trust me."

  "Don't be soft-hearted."

  "If the price of being soft-hearted is to continue searching for food in a dry bucket, then I never will."

  Bai Jiming leaned back on the sofa, lit a cigarette and said: "Then I'm very relieved."

  Chu Jingyan gazed out the window, and under the sunset's afterglow, the entire street seemed to be sprinkled with golden powder, so beautiful that it evoked a sense of nostalgia. Then Chu Jingyan turned his head to look at Bai Jiming.

  Many times many things are actually not as difficult as imagined.
