Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"...Shu'er, it's been so long! You've become even more beautiful..."

"Didn't we meet at the e-sports building the day before yesterday?"

"You ignored me then, and now you've become so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize you..."

Song Shuer was half-pushed, half-forced by Cui Zhiyou to sit at the table opposite Li Jianyi, who immediately began to chat with her enthusiastically. She, meanwhile, kept her head down, playing on her phone, and gave only half-hearted replies.

"Li Jianyi, don't speak so ambiguously, as if we have some kind of relationship. I have never accepted your advances..."

"Hehe, but that doesn't stop me from liking you, and I'll keep pursuing you until the day you say yes..."

"Sorry, I already have someone I like!"

Before saying this to Li Jianyi, Song Shuer's fingers flew across the phone's answer button: When Cui Zhiyou had "draggled" her in, she had sent Xu Yunmei a text message saying she was being harassed by Li Jianyi and Cui Zhiyou, asking for their help. And now, the call was coming from Han Enqing, the South Korean secretary of Shuoguo Group! Clearly, Xu Yunmei was pulling the strings!

As the call connected, Song Shuer made a gesture as if to stand up and go outside to answer it: "Li Jianyi, I've already made everything clear. Please stop bothering me."

"and many more"

Li Jianyi, without suspecting anything, immediately stood up, grabbed Song Shuer's wrist, and shouted urgently, "You didn't have a boyfriend before, so who could you like now? You're just making up an excuse because you don't like me, right? Why? Do you think there's anything wrong with me? I'm not bad-looking, I have my own career, and I have the Sanxing Consortium behind me. Shuer, even if you have to consider practical factors, you should seriously consider me..."

In South Korea, the worship of money is rampant. The term "chaebol" is not a derogatory term here, but rather the most envied person that everyone wants to replace. Lee Jianyi's statement is not wrong, and the fact that he said it makes him seem particularly confident and charming.

Song Shuer shook her head resolutely, struggling as she said firmly, "Let me go first. Is this how the second-generation chaebol of Sanxing woos girls? Since you're so good, are you going to force yourself on me?"

"Uh, no... but promise me you'll let me finish what I have to say..."

Li Jianyi used both soft and hard tactics, then softened his tone: "Shu'er, please give me this chance patiently. If I can't move you this time, I promise I will never bother you again, okay?"

"Let me go first, I won't leave for now!"

Song Shuer pursed her lips and said coldly.

But as soon as Li Jianyi let go, she immediately tried to walk away...

"Hey, Shu'er," Cui Zhiyou, who had been silent, called out, immediately receiving a glare from Song Shu'er: "I need to go to the bathroom to touch up my makeup first. Zhiyou-jie, since I promised you, I naturally won't go back on my word! But, after I help you this time, I'll consider that I've repaid the favor you did for taking me around before!"

Unlike Xu Yunmei, Song Shuer had followed Cui Zhiyou to many fashion shows and secured many commercial contracts over the past year, earning some money. Although Cui Zhiyou didn't take a cut from her contracts, she used her sharp yet tactful methods to help Song Shuer escape many difficulties. Therefore, Song Shuer felt indebted to her.

“Okay, I believe you!” Choi Ji-woo didn’t say much. She wasn’t as “pretentious” as Song Shu-er. She brought the models along for commercial gain.

Song Shuer stepped out of her seat and strode into the coffee shop. Seeing this, Cui Zhiyou breathed a sigh of relief. However, Li Jianyi was still staring in the direction Song Shuer left, and said anxiously, "Zhiyou, what if she slipped away through the back door?"

"Don't worry, Song Shuer isn't that kind of person. Besides, you've been pestering her so much, she'll definitely make things clear with you this time to avoid future trouble," Cui Zhiyou said confidently.

"I had no choice. Humph, if it weren't for Li Shuo, why would I be so entangled with a woman!"

When Li Shuo was mentioned, Li Jianyi's face turned somewhat ferocious. It was not that he was deeply in love with Song Shuer. Otherwise, he would not have given up pursuing her after being rejected once. Now he was continuing to pursue her, still hoping to win Song Shuer away from Li Shuo.

Choi Ji-woo reassured her with a grin, "Don't worry, in my opinion, Li Shuo just spent some money on Song Shu'er beforehand. You just need to spend about the same amount to win her over... Hmm, and if you add some persistence, the effect will be even better. When it comes to pursuing women, persistence isn't a bad thing; it's a very useful tactic..."

"Oh? Is Sister Zhiyou teaching me the secrets to picking up girls?"

"certainly"

"Can this trick be used on you, sister...?"

"Hehe, you'll know once you try it..."

Leaving aside the scene of the two flirting with each other while Song Shuer was away, as soon as Song Shuer left their sight, she immediately picked up her phone and kept apologizing, saying, "Hello, Secretary Han, I'm really sorry, I just encountered a special situation..." Han Enqing's call was naturally influenced by Xu Yunmei. The latter understood the workings of the secretariat and knew that since Song Shuer had caught Li Shuo's eye, the secretariat would definitely pay attention to her. So when she heard from Song Shuer that "Li Jianyi is harassing her," she immediately informed Han Enqing.

"I've already heard about the background from Miss Xu Yunmei. I didn't expect that Miss Song Shuer and Li Jianyi were more than friends. Were you two ever dating before?" Han Enqing asked indifferently.

Song Shuer quickly denied it, even swearing, "I swear, I have never accepted Li Jianyi's advances..."

"That's good. You should have heard Miss Xu Yunmei mention that our secretariat is specifically responsible for the chairman. The women around him cannot have any ambiguous relationships with other men, especially the chairman's enemies. Hmm, although Li Jianyi is not yet considered an enemy of the chairman, he is full of hostility towards him."

Song Shuer quickly said, "Yes, I'm so annoyed by him right now, but he's not just anyone. He has the backing of three stars, and I'm just a small-time model. I really can't handle it, so I called Sister Yunmei for help..."

"Hmm..." Han Enqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Personally, I would be quite willing to help you, but the secretariat has a rule that we can only help the chairman's women, and you, I'm sorry, are not yet one!"

This is the nth time in recent days that Song Shuer has regretted not being more proactive in her interactions with Li Shuo.

Just then, Han Enqing changed the subject, saying, "I do have a workaround, but I don't know if you'd be willing..."

"What method? As long as it can help me get rid of Li Jianyi's entanglement, I'm willing to do it."

"I'm sorry, my plan may be the opposite of what you're looking for. Or rather, you might eventually get rid of Li Jianyi's entanglement and be protected by the secretariat in the process. But in the process, you'll need to cooperate with the secretariat and put on a spectacular show."

"show?"

“That’s right! The purpose of the secretariat is to serve the chairman. Our service is not just passively waiting for the chairman’s orders, but also actively clearing away anything that might be in the chairman’s way, such as Li Jianyi. Also, it’s about giving the chairman’s romantic interests the necessary training to make them more accommodating to the chairman’s tastes, such as you…”

Han Enqing explained the subsequent plans in detail. Although it was only a general framework, it outlined Song Shuer's future style of action. The audacity of the plans left Song Shuer speechless and even filled with doubt...

"Secretary Han, is this the plan you've come up with so far?"

The plan was quite comprehensive, even extending to subsequent model competitions, which made Song Shuer somewhat suspicious.

"From the moment Miss Xu Yunmei told me about your situation, I felt that you were quite suitable for this kind of thing. Otherwise, given your current status, it would be difficult to arouse the chairman's desire to conquer you."

Han Enqing said calmly that she did not know that Song Shuer was "South Korea's future number one model" and "super internet celebrity". In her eyes, Song Shuer was far inferior to SK's little princess, the three-star crown princess, and even less than Xu Yunmei and other women. Even if she could be taken into Li Shuo's fish pond in the future, she would at most be a "M" level RBQ role.

Song Shuer had no idea she would have such abilities in the future, so after hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Secretary Han, if I do as you ask, please make sure I gain the chairman's favor!"

"I can't guarantee that, after all, the chairman is my boss, and I am his servant. But I can guarantee that not only will you have the opportunity to be favored by the chairman in the plan, but the secretariat will also do its best to help you."

……

The two women chatted for quite a while, and more than 20 minutes passed before Song Shuer returned to the coffee shop. Li Jianyi was already getting impatient, but Cui Zhiyou kept comforting him. When Song Shuer returned, Li Jianyi breathed a sigh of relief. His trust in Cui Zhiyou increased, and he also grew to like Song Shuer even more.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Song Shuer said as she stepped forward, her pretty face full of apology.

Seeing her like this, Li Jianyi felt his heart melt. He hurriedly got up, pulled out a chair for Song Shuer, and said with a smile, "It's alright. As long as Shuer is willing to talk to me, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes."

He had a little ulterior motive; he described his earlier shameless begging of Song Shuer to stay and listen to him as "accompanying him."

Song Shuer's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Li Jianyi disgusted her, and she almost stormed off immediately. But remembering Han Enqing's promise, she still replied softly, "You can always say whatever you want..."

"what?"

This slight change in attitude surprised and delighted Li Jianyi, who instinctively reached out to grab Song Shuer: "Shuer, you..."

"Hmm?" Song Shu'er withdrew her hand, raised an eyebrow, and calmly met Li Jianyi's gaze, her expression seemingly exuding an unapproachable goddess-like majesty... (End of Chapter)
