The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 223 Each with their own thoughts

Xu Jiuyang only breathed a sigh of relief after his car drove out of the villa area, and then whistled.

Looking back on his previous boasting, he was somewhat proud. Showing off one's superiority is indeed a fundamental human motivation, especially in front of people of higher status.

Li Yunxin is indeed the third young lady of the Li family, but she has never put on airs in front of him, and she does not hide her admiration and affection for him at all. As a result, her coldness and strictness at work are still just a legend in his eyes.

Lee Boo-jin's demeanor was not much different from the information she had gleaned from the internet in her previous life. She did indeed possess an elegant and noble air, but her indifferent attitude, always looking down on outsiders, was also quite evident.

It goes without saying who gets the most satisfaction from showing off.

Of course, he was still very sensible; he only made a small snide remark, which wouldn't affect the sisterly relationship between Lee Yoon-hyung and Lee Boo-jin.

"I have to admit, she is definitely more attractive than her sister," Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but mutter.

It's not that Lee Boo-jin is prettier than Lee Yoon-hyung. I don't know if it's because of her, but since they had that relationship, Lee Yoon-hyung's looks, which were originally only a little over seven points, suddenly rose to nearly nine points.

Moreover, it shouldn't be a traditional Korean craft, nor does it seem like a minor adjustment; rather, it's an optimization based on the original?
In short, Lee Boo-jin's looks are about the same as Lee Yoon-hyung's before, maybe a little bit better. With careful grooming and styling, she could probably get an 8 out of 10.

However, she possessed an aura of unapproachability, like a flower on a high mountain, distant and aloof, which could easily arouse a man's desire to conquer her.

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it," Xu Jiuyang patted his cheeks. "Li Yunxin is already throwing herself at him, do you expect Li Fuzhen to do the same?"

I should think about what gifts I should buy for my mom and dad since I'm going back soon.

"So, what you said about him suggesting creating an online music store and using the American market to pressure music companies, is all true?" Lee Boo-jin asked her younger sister as she returned to the study in the villa.

"Why won't Unnie trust me?" Lee Yoon-hyung asked with a smile.

Lee Boo-jin paused for a moment: "If he were the kind of person with keen insight, he would never have become an actor."

“There’s a reason for that, of course.” Li Yunxin shrugged. “If I could, I certainly wouldn’t want him to become an actor. I wouldn’t even dare to give him money directly.”

"Why?" Lee Boo-jin asked, somewhat taken aback.

“Because I know that once I do that, he will slowly drift away from me,” Lee Yoon-hyung said quietly. “His pride is stronger than you think, unnie.”

Lee Boo-jin pursed her lips, then sighed deeply, seemingly exhausted: "So when do you plan to tell Father, Yoon-hyung?"

“I’ll tell you when I get back this time,” Li Yunxin said, looking like she had nothing to hide. “It’s only a matter of time.”

"Then do you know..." Lee Boo-jin hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

“I know,” Li Yunxin said calmly. “I also know that the executive director Li who was transferred to work with me will start secretly contacting my people after the Chinese New Year and then placing his own people in his place. At the same time, he will arrange some complicated matters to distract me, such as making me fly back and forth between South Korea and the United States to participate in various negotiations, or piling up all matters related to the player, no matter how big or small, in front of me.”

Lee Boo-jin stared in astonishment at her younger sister.

“When I go back this time, I will talk to my dad and let him take over directly. Then I will start planning to launch the next product,” Li Yunxin continued. “I don’t like wasting time and energy on such meaningless things.”

After a pause, she seemed to be thinking: "Speaking of which, as long as the department in charge doesn't take the initiative to do something reckless, the value of the media player industry must be over $10 billion, right? Perhaps I can make some rather unreasonable demands to Dad?"

“Maybe…” Lee Boo-jin turned her head to the side. “Have you thought about what to do next?” Then, realizing something, she turned back and added, “Um… if it’s inconvenient to say, you don’t have to.”

“There’s nothing wrong with talking about it. If there’s an MP3 player, then of course there can be an MP4 player,” Li Yunxin chuckled. “He taught me more than just these things. I did them one by one, and Dad could do them one by one as well. But one day, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. However, the longer it is delayed, the greater the qualitative change will be.”

Lee Boo-jin was silent for a moment, then sighed again: "If this is your choice, I won't stop you, but... please be careful, Yoon-hee."

She left the study immediately, and only just as she was about to close the door did she hear her sister say, "Thank you, unnie."

Lee Boo-jin leaned against the wall outside and stared blankly for a while until a maid walked past her, which startled her awake. She then hurriedly returned to her room.

"Yunxin..." She leaned back on the sofa and gave a bitter smile.

This low-key trip to China to visit my sister was partly at my father's request to check on her; and partly to figure out how to tell her about my father's arrangements.

When did my little sister become like this? Lee Boo-jin wondered absently. Her little sister had always been seen as innocent and naive, unaware of the ways of the world. Her parents, herself, and everyone else doted on her. Even her arrogant older brother and her unassuming second sister showed her some care.

Everyone hopes that she can live a happy life.

But no one expected that the younger sister would have such skill, such ability, and such decisiveness.

It must have been around 97 when she wanted to try investing with her pocket money and even asked her family for their opinions.

Everyone felt it wasn't a big deal; even if she were to get married in the future, knowing how to manage capital was better than not knowing how.

So when she happily announced that she had made money and bought gifts for everyone, everyone was very happy, and her father was even overjoyed.

Then came the showdown in 98. No one expected that the innocent younger sister would have such a fierce side. In the end, the father had no choice but to compromise and gave his eldest daughter a severe scolding.

In his view, the reason why his younger daughter was so resolute and did not care about her family at all was because his older daughter set a bad example.

Lee Boo-jin felt wronged, but had nothing to say, since she was indeed the first person to defy her family's arrangements.

However, everyone originally thought that although the younger sister was very courageous, she would eventually come back obediently. A business worth 10 billion US dollars is not something that can be built just like that.

Perhaps that's why the father chose to compromise. But to everyone's surprise, in just three years, the younger sister not only succeeded but also challenged Sony and Apple.

The father was surprised, secretly pleased, and worried. Meanwhile, the eldest brother, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, kept urging his father to bring his younger sister back since she had proven herself.

As for Lee Boo-jin, her feelings were complicated. She was happy that her younger sister had really grown up, but she was also envious and even jealous of her younger sister's resourcefulness, especially after carefully analyzing her actions.

Whether it was caregiver or surveillance, the family was always very aware of what the younger sister was doing, and the father would even occasionally use some of the younger sister's wrong decisions to teach the older brother a lesson in private.

However, after the Galaxy Player, which was developed under my younger sister's leadership, was released, looking back at those decisions, we realized that those small mistakes and problems eventually became indispensable parts of completing the puzzle.
