Actor: Thank you.

Zhang Yuan, relying on his years of acting experience, managed to suppress his shock.

Not only did he maintain a calm and composed expression, but he also pretended to be completely unaware of who the girl in front of him and her mother were.

Because at this moment, the most appropriate thing to do is to remain ignorant.

If you show that you know, then your stance has to change, and you have to reset your position.

Very troublesome.

When faced with trouble, playing dumb is the best course of action 8% of the time.

I'm not Korean, so it's normal that I don't know about your situation.

Ms. Zheng, who had dyed her hair yellow and had an appearance that resembled that of a rural delinquent, turned to look at him immediately after saying her mother's name.

They were very direct in observing his reaction.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan's expression was normal, with his innocent big eyes shining, he complained somewhat boredly in Korean.

"Even my mother doesn't know, you're such a country bumpkin."

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, "My great nation is China, and you Koreans are all country bumpkins..." but he didn't show it.

Continue to play dumb, pretending you didn't even understand that Korean sentence.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, my family is very powerful, you know." The girl immediately put on an air of confidence and said with her head held high.

Then he opened his mouth and told this stranger everything about his family.

A blatant display of wealth.

In Zhang Yuan's eyes, this was typical of a child's mentality.

And it's clear that he's the type whose parents neglected to discipline him, resulting in a distorted personality and extreme arrogance.

Such people are inherently lacking in love.

They need to use the endless attention of others to make up for the lack of attention in the family, especially from their parents.

The high-pressure environment and outdated class consciousness in South Korea can easily give birth to such arrogant yet subservient children in families.

Arrogance is directed outwards, humility is directed inwards.

The whole country is like this: it's all smiles and flattery to foreigners, but it'll kneel down to its masters or powerful figures in an instant.

After traveling around, I realized that, not just in the world, but in the entire Asian region, China is the best in terms of gender equality and women's protection.

From Japan and South Korea to Southeast Asia, in most ordinary families, let alone wealthy ones, women are often confined to the home after marriage to be wives, mothers, and in-laws, becoming mere reproductive and domestic machines.

Moreover, women in such places are willing to live like this, and many girls dream of becoming housewives.

The saying "women hold up half the sky" is truly valuable.

Zhang Yuan wasn't interested in the living conditions of South Korean women; it was just that their traditional culture made it easier for him to infer the state of the people in front of him.

Korean female celebrities who have ever met Chinese men know what gentleness, refinement, and magnanimity truly mean.

This natural cultural difference can be quite shocking to Korean women, especially during initial contact.

They have the same yellow skin and black eyes, so why do they treat women so differently?

"I don't know your mother."

“But I think she must be a very remarkable person to have raised such an outstanding girl like you,” Zhang Yuan said as they walked.

"Of course, I'm very powerful!" The little girl's walking posture became unrecognizable.

"I noticed you were very skilled at riding just now. You must have practiced for a long time, right?" Zhang Yuan changed the subject to horses.

The other person went to great lengths to come see me on horseback; they must have thought riding a horse was very cool.

Starting the conversation from this angle is definitely the right approach.

Furthermore, after learning the other party's identity, Zhang Yuan realized that his valuation of the horse was flawed.

too low!
Based on its appearance, he estimated it to be worth over a million.

Actually, this horse is quite remarkable.

It's a world-class racehorse, worth nearly 20 billion Korean won!
This is equivalent to more than 1500 million Chinese Yuan.

As for why this girl can afford to ride such an expensive horse.

It can only be said that only China has a crime of having huge amounts of unexplained wealth.

If your living expenses exceed your legal income, you can be imprisoned for this crime.

Other countries don't have this.

Not to mention other countries, even Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan don't have it.

In Hong Kong movies, triad bosses dare to tell the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) that they are the God of Gamblers and that all their money is won.

Try saying that to someone from JW.

Oh ho, you gamble too, it's on record!

Zhao Dehan had to cry and say that he hadn't dared to spend a single penny.

In South Korea, none of that matters.

There are clearly interest groups involved, so there's no need to hide anything from people.

Lu Bungee Jumping suppresses Hyundai, while promoting Samsung.

After Li took office, he promoted Modern, which led to Lu's downfall.

Samsung quickly pledged its loyalty and gave Lee a substantial share.

The same thing happened when Sister Park came up.

This horse was a gift from Samsung to this girl's mother.

He spends billions of Korean won on top-tier horses in one go.

Other major conglomerates also went to great lengths to curry favor with this "best friend," contributing money and effort in various ways.

This means that all the top leaders in South Korea knew the inside story.

Zhang Yuan was very suspicious that the expensive watch that the girl claimed to have given him was actually a gift from some tycoon, which she had gotten from her mother.

What does it mean to have overwhelming power?

All the rich and powerful people in the country are trying to curry favor with my mom; how could this girl not be arrogant?

We discussed things related to horseback riding.

Zhang Yuan is only a novice in front of professionals, but he can ride and talk, and even knows a little about breeding and cultivation.

"Wow, Oppa, you're amazing! You even know how to handle horses."

It's so easy to fool a girl; in less than five minutes, you can create the image of a wise person who shares your interests.

Add to that his good looks, and he's a true Prince Charming.

"Because filming requires horseback riding, I received professional training and also learned some things on my own."

“You’re very professional too,” Zhang Yuan said, then added, “Being able to ride a horse of this caliber will surely make countless people envious.”

"Especially girls from ordinary families."

Compared to horseback riding, what makes this girl happier is the opportunity to evoke envy from others.

A delinquent girl... that's how it is.

Zhang Yuan's words struck a chord with her, making the blond-haired girl quite happy.

It took her half an hour to stroll around the garden, and she still wasn't quite done.

Zhang Yuan noticed it too.

It is indeed important how much growth one brings to the tourism industry in Siam.

But more importantly, this girl is using public funds to chase after celebrities!
There were probably more than one choice, but my best friend's daughter liked it, so there was only one choice left.

It might be hard for the average person to understand how a head of state could be "manipulated" by his best friend.

This needs to be considered in light of individual circumstances.

The downfall of Park Ka-ka, who created the Miracle on the Han River, directly led to the collapse of the Fourth Republic.

And the arrival of the "Seoul Spring" and the Fifth Republic.

The entire nation of South Korea participated in the "Gwangju Marathon" organized by the All-Youngsters.

Running fast gets no reward, running slow gets punished.

When these things happened, Ms. Park was just over 20 years old.

The stabbing death of his father plunged him into helplessness and despair.

Just then, Master Cui, who had performed rituals to bless their family and was also the best friend's father, seized the opportunity to intervene in their lives.

Master Cui was originally a pastor, then he became a Buddhist. His specialty was witchcraft, or shamanistic rituals.

This old guy believes in too many different things.

This experience proves that this person doesn't believe in anything and is just a complete fraud.

His famous spell was called "Eternal Ring," which involved drawing a large black circle on the wall with a brush and then continuously chanting scriptures over the circle, supposedly capable of eliminating all suffering and calamities.

Compared to Zhang Jiao, he is a representative figure of the scientific side.

However, when people suffer a major blow, they will instinctively seek support and relief.

A more scientific approach is to go out for a walk or read a book.

It doesn't matter where you go to relax or what books you read; what matters is doing the activity itself, shifting your focus, and changing your state of mind.

The worst approach is to start engaging in superstition, praying to gods and Buddhas.

They were calculating against you, taking advantage of the fact that your family was facing a major crisis and you were a young woman all alone and helpless.

Not only do they use religious rituals to "liberate" you, but they also bring their daughters, who are the same age as you, to show their concern and care.

They can become best friends in no time.

Park's lingerie was all bought by her best friend, becoming an essential part of her life.

Just like why Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Yin, was highly regarded.

He was Emperor Kangxi's study companion, and in his teens he became his imperial bodyguard.

Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of 8, and the court was full of ruthless officials. His father had also become a monk. Who could he rely on? The same reason why Zhu Qizhen, a student from the Oirat Mongols, favored Wang Zhen was also due to this situation.

Vulnerable, those around you during your childhood are most likely to become your confidants.

Especially in high-pressure environments, when no one can be trusted, they will rely on a few close confidants indefinitely.

In South Korea today, offending a close friend is like offending Cao Yu during the Kangxi Emperor's reign or offending Wang Zhen during Zhu Qizhen's reign.

It's as if the Grand Eunuch and the Seal Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial were both close friends. All memorials to the Emperor had to be submitted to her first, and only after she approved them could they be implemented.

No wonder the people from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture were so obsequious and subservient to this teenage girl.

Their family can really stir up trouble in half the country.

Some schools and organizations in China have additional or special recruitment conditions when enrolling students and hiring people.

Some of the conditions seem very strange.

Whenever this happens, it means that these conditions are not intended for ordinary people.

They have a "targeted" approach.

For example, Jacky Cheung's wife was admitted to Tsinghua University back then because Tsinghua had a policy of directly recommending students with special talents in aerobics.

Looking back and forward a few years, there were no such conditions for admission without examination; it just so happens that there were in those few years.

Rich people always seem to encounter these kinds of "coincidences".

Zhang Yuan glanced at the person in front of him, who was even more impressive.

She is about to enter Ewha Womans University in South Korea as a student with equestrian expertise.

She could enter a top university without even taking the college entrance examination. Before she came, the school did not have an equestrian major.

Furthermore, he didn't study properly in high school and spent his days forming gangs to bully his classmates.

If a teacher dares to stop someone from hitting another teacher, the principal will be dismissed if he is not satisfied.

I have connections!
Such a devilish teenage girl, the people from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism only dared to wait outside the garden.

I thought to myself, if this girl beat up that Chinese guy, would it cause a diplomatic incident?

This girl dares to point fingers and curse even the most powerful tycoons.

To everyone's surprise, when Zhang Yuan and the girl returned from their rounds, they were chatting and laughing, and it wasn't as terrible as they had imagined.

The group, drenched in sweat, were somewhat bewildered.

But I also breathed a sigh of relief.

“I have several horses at home, come play with me.” The little girl’s voice was still stiff.

I feel like this person isn't very good at communicating with people.

They always speak in a commanding tone.

"I'm so sorry, I have a lot of work scheduled."

"This includes television recordings and discussions about subsequent travel plans."

"If I come again next time and have the time, I will definitely go horseback riding with you."

There's definitely no time.

Zhang Yuan had no interest in wasting his time with her.

"What a hassle, work is so annoying, life should be about traveling and having fun." This girl shared her life philosophy.

"Then I'll throw a party tonight, you're welcome to come to South Korea."

"Hey!"

"Don't let him work too late, it'll ruin my party!" the girl said, pointing at the people from the cultural and tourism department and giving them instructions.

Zhang Yuan understood that it seemed there was no escaping this situation.

After all, it was stated in the contract that I would participate in private activities.

Treat it as work.

"Thank you for your invitation. I will definitely finish the work as soon as possible," he replied with a smile.

"Do you have a woman you like?" This girl asked, still very bluntly.

"If you have a favorite female celebrity, I'll call her over for you."

"You can take it home anytime."

It seems like they are showing off their "strength".

Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly.

"I'm here on a business trip, so I'm not very familiar with the South Korean entertainment industry."

"And I have a girlfriend in China."

"Maintaining fidelity to my girlfriend while I'm away from home is my consistent principle."

He blatantly lied.

I cannot agree to that.

I actually ordered the food, and they actually dared to serve it.

That would be a complete disaster!

It's exciting, but also risky.

Moreover, he has cultivated a high-quality male image in China, which cannot be easily broken.

"You really are different."

"My classmates and teachers would all lewdly accept this when they heard it." The girl put her hands in her pockets and swaggered away.

Yes, I'll accept it, otherwise it'll lower my value.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, "I didn't even accept luxury watches, how could I accept this?"
"Annyeonghikaseo," he said goodbye in Korean.

They then took a car to the television station.

On the way, he first called Song Hye-kyo.

"Well, I won't be coming over here this time."

I had arranged to meet a friend before coming, and we were evenly matched.

The other party was a little annoyed when he suddenly changed his plans.

"There were some unexpected events this time, so the itinerary was changed."

"We'll meet again when you come to China to film. It shouldn't be long."

After saying a few words of comfort, he put down his phone.

Zhang Yuan believes he is protecting her.

They are also protecting themselves.

I just said I was faithful and refused their offer of female celebrities, but then I turned around and went to this guy's house.

If we get caught, both she and I will be in trouble.

They now wield immense power and can easily resort to insane and brutal methods.

How did Quan Xiaojiang's wife treat his celebrity mistress Zhang Meiji back then?
They undergo a completely painful, anesthesia-free sterilization surgery and are then thrown into the worst men's prisons, where the cycle continues endlessly.

Never underestimate the madness of the Koreans.

It's hard to say what people might do to support their idols.

When Chen Long got married, two Japanese girls committed suicide.

And now I am someone else's idol.

Not long after, he arrived in Seoul.

Head to Jiangxi District, to Shangyan Cave.

He knew this place well because he had been here before.

That's where MBC television station is located.

Logically speaking, KBS is the largest, oldest, and most official television station in South Korea.

Where should the Ministry of Culture and Tourism hold its events?

But capital doesn't listen to reason; it only cares about money and connections.

KBS and Park Geun-hye have a so-so relationship, while MBC has a better one.

They assigned the task to people with connections.

The TV station will cooperate with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to shoot commercials and a collection of short travel documentaries called "Zhang Yuan in South Korea".

It will then be broadcast on some TV stations and streaming media in China.

Based on the principle of taking advantage of proximity and making the most of every opportunity, he suggested that Youku and Bilibili are currently the most popular streaming media platforms in China, especially among young people.

We suggest giving them the investment funds.

We took some cover photos and advertising photos first.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism officials then told the MBC executives that they needed to wrap up work early.

The people at the TV station don't want to work overtime either; finishing work on time is best.

Zhang Yuan, however, was not in a hurry to leave.

Several years have passed, and the TV station executives he was in back then have all changed; he's not familiar with the current ones.

He offered to speak with the head of the television station's copyright department.

Not as an artist, but as the person in charge of the company.

We can't have come all this way for nothing.

Coincidentally, his secondary destination on this trip was MBC television station.

Because their station has produced several popular programs in recent years, with skyrocketing ratings.

One of them is called "I Am a Singer"... (End of Chapter)
