The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 555 This feels so good

"You guys think 10 billion won is a lot of money?"

"Is not it?"

"Yes, you're right."

Liu Yifei's sudden realization brought a hint of smugness to the young reporter's face.

This is the most hotly debated topic online.

What kind of company would be willing to provide two houses worth more than 1 billion Korean won to two little girls who have been living off their parents for five years?

The first possibility is being kept by a sugar daddy/sugar baby.

This point was actually discussed at the very beginning.

Many people feel that Liu Yifei is a ready-made example of a "developed" rumored girlfriend by Zhang Chen's side.

So, it seems reasonable to support two more girls who were only 12 years old at the time to fill out one's "golden house".

Furthermore, considering that Liu Yifei and Zhang Chen's rumored relationship has been going on for so long, neither of them has ever publicly confirmed their relationship.

If there was any collaboration, it was only at this year's Grammys.

However, neither of the two individuals involved has confirmed this to the public in writing or verbally.

So it's still just a rumor.

This is precisely why many people believe that Zhang Chen is not satisfied with just one "Liu Yifei" and may want more "Liu Yifei".

Lim Yoon-a and Choi Soo-young are Zhang Chen's targets.

He's a tycoon, a big star, and a man.

All I can say is that everyone who understands understands.

However, news related to this speculation mysteriously disappeared from the internet before it even lingered for a day.

Meanwhile, another news item about "Lim Yoon-a and Choi Soo-young being bought off by Chinese capital" instantly filled the entire South Korean news page.

Compared to the previous speculation, the revelations from these "insiders" have led more South Koreans to believe the truth of the matter.

Yes, if it weren't for the huge profits involved, which company would be willing to provide such good accommodations for two girls who weren't even adults at the time?

It's not uncommon for people to speculate that Zhang Chen might have South Korean ancestry, or that Lim Yoon-ah and Choi Soo-young might be his distant cousins.

But this kind of news only makes some people happy.

After the news was released, many people agreed with the speculation about "bribery".

10 billion won!

Based on the current average monthly income of around 200 million won for South Korean workers, this amount would require an ordinary South Korean to work for 500 years without eating or drinking!
Although this money belonged to both Lim Yoon-ah and Choi Soo-young.

But each of them still gets 5 million won!

It's worth noting that there are only about 1 million people in South Korea with a net worth exceeding 100 million won!

That only accounts for 3% of South Korea's total population.
In other words, these two timid and silent girls in front of us have already achieved upward social mobility before they even reached adulthood.

They directly became one of the top people in South Korea!

If this were cash, perhaps no one would notice the difference.

But those two luxury homes in Beijing, the capital of China, are there so that these two can settle down there, right?
What could possibly make two little girls abandon their families and their homeland to settle in a country they've never been to before?
When Lim Yoon-a and Choi Soo-young went to China, they reportedly didn't know anyone there.

The only person they could talk to was their dance teacher, who had accompanied them to China.

All of this points to one conclusion—Lim Yoona and Choi Sooyoung have betrayed us!

Only this conclusion can support the above reasoning.

Now, just look at the comments in China criticizing them for "plagiarizing South Korean idol culture and giving it to China," and you'll see that this argument holds water.

The extremely vulgar comments circulating online are pushing Yoona and Sooyoung's reputations in South Korea to the point of bordering on criminal activity.

The two luxury homes they own in China are their backup plan!

Moreover, they had already prepared a backup plan to "betray South Korea"!

This is the conclusion the young reporter reached after collecting numerous online comments and expert analyses.

He felt that this was the truth!
"Why aren't you saying anything?" The young reporter asked excitedly when Liu Yifei didn't answer for a long time.

He felt that today was his first week at the company.

But his expression at today's press conference might just propel him from intern to a top reporter at SBS!
The young reporter blushed with excitement at the thought of no longer having to worry about finding a job and the generous salary from SBS TV.

However, Liu Yifei's expression didn't seem too embarrassed.
The young reporter was a little unsure about this actress who had risen to fame in the past two years, especially recently becoming a global sensation for holding the title of "highest-grossing individual film actress worldwide."

Just as a look of suspicion began to appear on his face, Liu Yifei finally spoke.

"Actually, I've been thinking about whether or not I should tell you something."

Liu Yifei looked embarrassed, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

But her words made all the reporters present, including the young ones, hold their breath.

frank?!
Are all the speculations online true?
They stared intently at Liu Yifei, waiting for her to continue.

As for the two central figures in the incident beside her—Lim Yoon-ah and Choi Soo-young.
Neither of them uttered a single word from beginning to end.

It's as if all the power of interpretation has been handed over to Liu Yifei, one of them.

Their eyes held a mixture of frustration and anticipation.

Faced with relentless questioning from journalists from their own country, and hearing their repeated accusations of being "traitors," their hearts were already riddled with holes.

Now they just want to leave this place, to get Liu Yifei, who has been bearing all of this alone, away from this place of trouble caused by them.

But under the table, their hands were held down firmly by Liu Yifei, making them unable to move.

Yoona and Sooyoung could feel a great deal of confidence from Liu Yifei.

It was precisely this confidence from Liu Yifei that gave them the courage to sit here until now.

But Liu Yifei's words just now made their hearts jump to their throats again.

Even now, they themselves are still a bit unsure whether they are "traitors".

they
I have indeed been in China for 5 years.

And indeed, nothing was done.

Indeed, without doing anything, they accepted those two houses with a clear conscience.
"Sisi."

Lin Yoona looked at Liu Yifei's profile and murmured to herself.

Liu Yifei turned around and gave her a reassuring smile before turning to face the reporter.

"Actually, there's something I've never figured out."

Liu Yifei looked at the numerous reporters below the stage with a puzzled expression and asked a question that stunned everyone present:

"Why would you use the benefits that our Chenguang Group provides to its employees as so-called 'evidence' of bribing your own employees?"

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she looked at the reporters below the stage with curiosity and continued to ask, "Don't your South Korean employees have such benefits?"

Of course, China doesn't currently offer such benefits. Or rather, apart from the deep-pocketed Chenguang Group, the benefits offered by other companies are roughly the same, or even lower than those in South Korea.

But today we're talking about Yoona and Sooyoung, so Liu Yifei's "switching the subject" tactic was executed flawlessly.

Just look at the stunned reporters below.

Her words have already begun to shake the resolve of these people.

"You're talking nonsense!" It was the same young reporter who spoke. "A company like that simply doesn't exist in the world! What company would provide its employees with such luxurious housing?!"

Perhaps feeling his denial wasn't strong enough, he growled again, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He, a top student who graduated from Seoul National University's medical school, is still worried about getting an internship at SBS.

What right do those two underage girls have?!
Sometimes, jealousy can make people lose their minds.

"Even if those two houses aren't evidence of bribing them, it doesn't rule out the possibility that Lyon is keeping a mistress in a 'golden house'!"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding reporters kept their distance from him as if he were a plague carrier.

This young man
You've got guts!

Does this guy really not know who made these messages disappear without a trace when they first started circulating on South Korean social media?

"Your intern," a senior reporter from KBS said quietly, giving a thumbs-up to the younger reporter, "is truly a brave soul."

The senior colleague blushed, turned his head away, and stammered, "I don't know him!"

The KBS reporter just smiled and remained silent.

He looked at Liu Yifei, whose face had darkened, and his expression also became serious.

"This has blown up."

As expected, Liu Yifei on stage slammed her hand on the table in anger and stood up.

"Sir, please watch your words!" She stared intently at the young reporter, her tone icy. "Regarding your remarks, Chenguang Group reserves the right to sue you for defaming our chairman!"

The young reporter, as if she had lost her mind, met Liu Yifei's aggressive gaze and retorted, "Isn't that right?!"

Liu Yifei looked at the somewhat erratic young reporter with some suspicion.

Is this person genuinely stupid or just pretending?
Liu Yifei always had a strange sense of déjà vu about this scene.

But she didn't have time to think it through on the spot.

She braced herself on the table in front of her, leaned forward, and looked into the young reporter's eyes as she spoke:

"Then let me give you a proper introduction to Chenguang Group!"

Liu Yifei took a deep breath and sat back down in her seat.

She glanced at the defiant young reporter and the thousands of other reporters who remained silent in fear, and slowly began to speak:

"Our Chenguang Group offers the following benefits to our full-time employees:"
1. After completing the internship, you will sign a labor contract directly with the company and have six types of insurance and one housing fund paid.

2. Strictly adhere to the eight-hour workday and have weekends off.

3. Overtime pay is three times the normal wage.

After saying all this, the South Korean reporters below were already gaping with envy.

There is no harm without comparison!
They don't know much about the other people.

But what about the welfare and benefits of each person present?
Their company ostensibly adheres to a 40-hour work week, or eight-hour workday.

But what about in private?
Many people work more than 10 hours a day!
As for the so-called "1.5 times the overtime pay for companies with five or more employees"?
All I can say is that capitalists are good at is saving money, though!

they
They all worked overtime "voluntarily"!

Before they could even recover from the benefits offered by Chenguang Group, Liu Yifei spoke up again.

"And that's also the reason you've come today."

At this point, Liu Yifei looked at the reporters with a mocking expression.

"Actually, before I came here today, I was thinking about what was so interesting about this press conference."

"But seeing how enthusiastically you're discussing it..."

A smile appeared on Liu Yifei's lips: "Then I'll explain to you why I think this way."

She held up one finger, her expression a mix of helplessness and amusement: "This is also, in my opinion, the most important reason why Chenguang Group is able to attract outstanding talent from all over the world."

"That's it!" Liu Yifei said, emphasizing each word. "As long as you work for the company for five years, the company will provide you with a house closest to the office, free of charge!"

Perhaps still not enough, Liu Yifei added, "Our chairman requires that the commute time for these employees be less than half an hour!"

"In other words, all employees who have worked at the group headquarters for five years or more will automatically receive a house within the Second Ring Road of Beijing, the capital of China."

"Oh, by the way!" Liu Yifei smiled and looked at the reporters who were already stunned, and added another blow, "As of the end of last year, our group headquarters had 2198 employees with more than 5 years of service."

Let me calculate it.

Liu Yifei closed her eyes and started counting on her fingers in a very serious manner.

"Judging from your overreaction, this is a free benefit that our group provides to its employees."

Liu Yifei suddenly opened her eyes and clapped her hands, saying, "Worth 10990 trillion Korean won!"

"hiss--"

A collective gasp filled the air.

They knew that Chenguang Group offered good benefits.

But I didn't expect it to be this good!

"That's impossible!" the young reporter retorted, his face flushed. "No boss would offer such good conditions to their employees!"

"But," Liu Yifei said innocently, "our boss only provides us with these benefits."

She pointed to herself, then to Lim Yoon-ah and Choi Soo-young on either side, whose complexions had returned to normal, and said, "By the way, all three of us are employees who have been granted free housing."

"What boss would give away a house worth trillions of Korean won for free!"

"Our boss."

"Uh-huh!"

"Yes, our boss."

Faced with repeated questions from the young reporter, Liu Yifei and Lin Yoona gave serious affirmations.

Perhaps feeling that this wasn't convincing enough, Liu Yifei thought for a moment and then asked in return:
"Have you forgotten who our boss is?"

When asked this question, many people realized what was going on.

Who is the boss of Liu Yifei and her two friends?

"Zhang Chen!" Liu Yifei said with a grin, looking at the blank faces in the audience. "He's in the top 20 of the world's richest people! Someone who spends $1 billion a year on charity! Someone who spent $200 million on his concerts as a treat for his fans!"

For the first time, Liu Yifei experienced Zhang Chen's extravagant spending habits.
