Chapter 26: The Enthusiastic and Hospitable Jang Tae-yeon

  Many times those who think they have experience and insight have a very bad habit.

  That's underestimating people.

  Jin Longyi and the directors present naturally did not expect that this small matter, which was originally just a recreational club, had already reached the point where it could openly threaten them. This is very unpleasant, but it's clear that Chu Jingyan's words were directed at Jin Longyi. As someone who has recently risen to prominence alongside the president, the other directors wouldn't dare to make a big fuss with Chu Jingyan over just a few sentences.

  On one hand, their relationship with Jin Longyi is clearly not good enough to help each other out. On the other hand, offending Chu Jingyan now would bring them no benefits.

  Chu Jingyuan flipped through the documents in front of him with a smile, saying: "Back to the topic, from the performance table, it can be seen that all of you are good at management. The business in each region has increased compared to last quarter, so today's meeting will end here. I originally wanted to have a drink with everyone, but since everyone is busy, I won't keep you any longer."

  Chu Jingyu stood up and bowed slightly before saying: "Very well, let's disperse."

  As they walked out of the conference room, Qi Qingrong said, "You have already offended Jin Longyi to death."

  "He was already in a difficult situation when he was at the You She Palace, and there was no question of not offending anyone." Chu Jingyan unbuttoned his coat and said, "Since I've already offended him, it doesn't matter how much more I offend him. Besides, I'm not very likable to begin with."

  Qī Qīng Róng smiled and said: "Especially unattractive to women."

  Chu Jing spoke out in obvious disagreement with Qi Qingrong's words: "I oppose this."

  "Opposed without effect."

  Chu Jing stopped in his tracks, looking at Qi Qingrong and said: "Can you see the dissatisfaction and sincerity in my eyes? What kind of special pleasure do you get from belittling your best friend?"

  "I only see a lump of eye discharge." Qi Qingrong walked away with big strides in disgust.

  Chu Jing said, wiping away the eye discharge from the corner of her eyes, complaining that she had come out too early in the morning and hadn't had time to properly take care of her facial hygiene, only to realize later that she had hosted a meeting with a big glob of eye discharge on her face.

  No wonder those old men all had a seemingly smiling but actually not smiling face, this is really dying with a hidden illness.

  Pushing open the door of Bai Jiming's office, Chu Jingyan walked in.

  Bai Jiming, who was sitting on the sofa resting, saw Chu Jingyan come in and pointed to the sofa: "Sit."

  The secretary brought in two cups of steaming hot coffee, and Bai Jiming picked up the cup and took a small sip, leaning his body completely back on the sofa, saying: "I've looked into the Jin Longyi matter, how do you plan to deal with it?"

  "It's already been taken care of." Chu Jingyan said.

  "Oh?" Bai Jiming smiled and said, "Go on."

  Chu Jing spoke and shrugged his shoulders, saying: "I'm willing to let bygones be bygones."

  "Why?"

  "At least for now, Jinlong Yi is still a person of Oriental International."

  "Alright."

  Bai Jiming left the sofa and came to the desk, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, lit one, rubbed his temples and said: "I know you've been wronged in this matter. Originally, I was thinking about whether or not to help you get some justice back, but since you have such high awareness, I'm very pleased."

  Chu Jingyan said: "Vice President, actually if you insist on helping me out, I won't refuse."

  Bai Jiming: "......"

  "I was just joking, don't take it seriously, Vice President."

  Bai Jiming took a puff of smoke and said, "I've heard about your grudge with Jindong for a long time. As for why the president put you in Yaoshe Palace back then, you should think about it yourself. But now, if you want to do something, it would be more suitable. As for the details, you can examine them carefully, I won't say anything else."

  Chu Jingyu found that Chen Shuo and Bai Jiming had only one thing in common, which was their love of being the boss, with one doing it as a matter of course and the other doing it with an air of righteousness.

  It turns out I'm still a bit too tender after all.

  Chu Jing nodded and said, "I'll take care of it."

  Bai Jiming looked at Chu Jingyan and said, "I can rest assured with you handling things."

  "Vice President, won't you consider helping me vent my anger? Actually, I'm not as kind-hearted as you think."

  Bai Jiming: ".........."

  Outsiders didn't know what kind of agreement Chu Jingyan and Jin Longyi had reached, they only knew that after the third day, those dozens of men from the detention center were all released.

  After that, Chu Jingyan seemed to have no action at all, and most of the time he was shuttling back and forth between the construction site and Dongfang International. Before that, there were many dissatisfactions within the group about Chu Jingyan, a newcomer with no foundation and experience, taking on important tasks, but in a very short period of time, Chu Jingyan and Qi Qingrong gave a very clear answer.

  Chu Jingyan is very good at staying up all night, in other words, he has a lot of energy and doesn't get tired easily.

  The board of directors in charge of the project gave Chu Jingyan a considerable amount of work and pressure, but every time this happened, it only took one overnight to solve those piled-up problems.

  The next day is to implement all the decisions and tasks.

  Dongfang International is a well-oiled machine, and without anyone intentionally undermining him, Chu Jingyan is quite happy to be a diligent workaholic and good boss.

  Of course, this does not rule out occasionally sneaking a peek at the hot female employees in the hall, Chu Jingyan treats this as a hobby and relaxation during work breaks.

  This is a great and cost-effective fun, cultivating sentiment while also pleasing the mood, killing two birds with one stone.

  A month had passed, and after Chu Jingyan had fully grasped all the business work, the employees began to get off work one after another. Chu Jingyan shut down the computer, rubbed his nose bridge, thinking that he could finally have a good hot meal tonight, when his phone suddenly rang loudly.

  "What's up?"

  "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

  Chu Jing thought for a moment and asked: "What?"

  "As expected." Xiao Feipu said disdainfully, "You promised to take me and Taiyan to Quanzhou, how can a big man have such a bad memory?"

  Chu Jing thought for a moment and it seemed like there really was such a thing.

  "Tiffany asked: "Are you free?"

  "Yes."

  "An hour later, wait for you at the entrance of the dormitory alley, remember to tidy up the trunk of the car, we have a lot of luggage."

  Chu Jingxian hung up the phone, feeling that he couldn't be summoned and dismissed without any dignity. At least he had to be late for ten minutes to show his unique character and taste.

  An hour and a half later, Chu Jingyan looked at Xiao Feipo and Kim Tae-yeon with sorrow and resentment.

  Chu Jingyu was certain that she had already been late for ten minutes, but it was clear that she had completely underestimated the innate talent of women to drag things out. After listening to a CD in the car and replaying the songs repeatedly, the two of them finally dragged their luggage and walked towards the alley entrance with a whoosh.

  "I'm sorry, there's a lot of stuff and I couldn't get it all," Kim Tae-yeon said with an embarrassed smile. "You won't be angry, will you?"

  Don't hit a smiling face, let alone it's Kim Tae-yeon who looks like a primary school student. Chu Jingyan magnanimously said he wasn't angry and started the car.

  Kim Tae-yeon's home is in Jeonju, and Chuying Yan has never been there before. Thinking back to the years he spent in Korea, he realized that he hadn't been to many places, and scenic spots like Jeju Island were still unvisited. It's said that Jeonju has a nice view, and Chuying Yan hopes Kim Tae-yeon isn't lying.

  It's also good to buy some local specialties while you're at it.

  Two girls sat in the back seat chattering, it was obvious that Xiaofei had suffered a great grievance today, constantly complaining to Jintaiyan about the dance teacher's strictness and severity, as well as the head of the dormitory's stern education.

  "Why is it always me?" Little fatty was very disappointed, "Dancing badly isn't my fault, Korean isn't good and I'm trying to speak, but this isn't something that can be learned in a short time?"

  Chu Jingyu glanced at Xiaofei and asked, "Have you been bullied?"

  The little fat woman nodded.

  Chu Jing slapped the steering wheel and said indignantly: "How can this be?! Where does your dormitory director live? I'll go find him!"

  Kim Tae-yeon and Soo-young were startled, Tiffany cautiously approached and patted Chu Jingyan's shoulder, saying: "Chu Jingyan, I know you're worried about me, but don't do anything stupid, hitting people is not good."

  "What are you thinking?" Chu Jingyan looked at Xiaofei with a puzzled expression and said, "Am I the kind of person who has a tendency to violence?"

  Tiffany looked puzzled and asked, "Then how did you know where our dormitory is located?"

  "Of course, we'll just give him a little gift." Chu Jingyan waved his hand grandly and said with a heroic tone, "As the saying goes, 'gifts are not resented by many', your company has so many trainees, even if one wants to debut in a group of ten, there are still nine others left. We'll make sure the gifts are sufficient, and even if your superior wants to show favoritism, they won't dare to be too biased."

  "This is all precious life knowledge and living experience."

  Taeyeon: "..."

  "Tiffany excitedly asked: 'Really?'"

  As an honest and kind-hearted person, Chu Jingyan would never give gifts to Tiffany's dormitory director. This kind of corrupt practice should be stopped wherever it is found, otherwise many ambitious young people will be ignored because they are too poor to bribe others.

  "Tiffany, you need to know that since you came from Los Angeles to Seoul, you're not fighting alone. There are people behind you who sincerely hope for your success, like family and friends. I have high expectations of you too. Think about it, how can the dirtiness of society tarnish pure dreams? How can a balding, beer-bellied, sleazy middle-aged man stop you from pursuing your dreams?"

  "There are many obstacles now, but you must believe that as long as you work hard, hope is in front of your eyes."

  Tiffany applauded excitedly, Chu Jingyan took a deep breath, very satisfied with his own generosity and passion.

  "So." Chu Jing spoke after a moment of silence, "My suggestion is to send wine."

  “................”

  Chu Jing said with a split smile: "I was just kidding."

  Thanks to Choo Kyung-yoon's nonsensical talk, the atmosphere in the car improved a lot. Tiffany was also relieved from her gloominess after being criticized and started discussing with Kim Tae-yeon about their travel plans after Quanzhou.

  The young child who rarely gets to go home is extremely excited, Kim Tae-yeon smiled and said: "When we get home, I'll first take you to my favorite restaurant, then there's this one place that has amazing egg tarts and shaved ice, absolutely can't miss it."

  Chu Jingyu suddenly interjected: "I like eating beef."

  Kim Tae-yeon was taken aback for a moment before saying, "I also know of a great barbecue place."

  Chu Jingyu said with emotion: "It is said that the people of Quzhou are enthusiastic and hospitable, I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true, I feel very happy."

  Taeyeon: "I'm fine."
