The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 224 Unwilling
"Yes, Dad, that's what Yunxin said..."

"No, she was very determined and clear; she said she still had ideas..."

"She probably...she probably has a boyfriend here..."

After ending the call with her father, Lee Boo-jin felt slightly uneasy. Judging from her younger sister's attitude, if her father did not approve of the relationship, she might really sever ties with her family.

Since she has the ability and has proven it in front of the whole world, who can stop her?
Putting everything else aside, if I were to quit my job now and apply to Sony or Apple, would Nobuyuki Idei and Steve Jobs welcome me with open arms, or would they welcome me with open arms?

“Xu Jiuyang…” Lee Boo-jin rubbed her forehead and murmured the name.

My sister and he probably have more than just a normal romantic relationship.

As mentioned earlier, Li Yunxin's methods in leading the development of MP3 players were something even she herself admired. But how did her younger sister, whom she had watched grow up, suddenly transform into a powerful woman?
Even if she has talent, there should be a process involved, rather than her current precise grasp of every detail. Therefore, someone should be giving her advice from behind the scenes.

The name Xu Jiuyang had actually appeared on the family's desk long ago. The younger sister never hid it from her, but neither Li Fuzhen herself, nor her father and older brother paid much attention to it.

They're not without advisors; Samsung has a large secretariat for intelligence analysis. Turning an idea into something real requires a lot of procedures.

In this situation, ideas are the least important thing; excellent execution is the key.

But with the younger sister, things seemed to be reversed.

Looking back at the results, we can see that the younger sister is not lacking in execution ability, but because of the tight schedule or the eagerness to achieve quick results, her judgment of the future must be accurate. Therefore, it is very likely that Xu Jiuyang filled this gap.

Although they didn't talk much during their previous conversations, Lee Boo-jin could still sense that he had his own set of views on the development of China, Japan, and South Korea, and her younger sister almost always followed his advice.

So another question arises: why didn't someone with such vision get into university? Or does he have some kind of background that can't be revealed?
Lee Boo-jin shook her head. Of course, she could see that the other person's demeanor during the conversation was neither humble nor arrogant, as if he didn't care about the Samsung Lee family. However, although her younger sister would change the subject whenever she subtly probed about his family background, the man didn't really hide the fact that his family background was quite ordinary.

"Never mind, these are all my sister's own business, and I... have no right to comment..." Lee Boo-jin said to herself, rubbing her forehead.

Even so, thinking of the embrace in the study that morning, her delicate brows furrowed involuntarily again.

It wasn't that I felt I had been violated, nor was I worried that my younger sister would have any associations after seeing this. It was simply that I felt that the man was... how should I put it, perhaps terrible in certain things.

Xu Jiuyang later privately stated that he did the indecent thing because she looked very similar to his younger sister from behind and he didn't expect her to come here. But Li Fuzhen is not a three-year-old child. She and his younger sister are different heights, so how could she not tell them apart?

So, if he didn't subconsciously consider himself the male owner of this place and believe that all the women here belonged to him, then there's only one possibility...

A knocking sound reached her ears, accompanied by a maid's voice: "Madam, the lady requests your presence for dinner."

Slightly frowning, Lee Boo-jin didn't dwell on the strange form of address. After straightening her clothes, she stepped forward and opened the door: "Okay."

When she arrived at the restaurant, Li Yunxin was already waiting there, smiling and waving to her sister, as if the somewhat sharp conversation that afternoon had not affected her at all.

After chatting for a few minutes, Lee Boo-jin couldn't help but ask, "Yoon-hyung, how... is he to you?"

Li Yunxin blinked, then suddenly laughed: "Sister wants to ask if he has other women, right?"

Lee Boo-jin coughed awkwardly, but still nodded. Lee Yoon-hyung then stopped smiling and asked, "Does your sister know Angeli Lindwo, the Vice President for Greater China at Columbia University?"

“I’ve heard of it,” Lee Boo-jin recalled.

“That’s a formidable woman…” Lee Yoon-hyung rattled off the story of how the woman made her fortune. “And then?” Lee Boo-jin was utterly puzzled. She admitted that Angela Lindwal was impressive, but what did that have to do with what she was about to say?

Then I heard my younger sister say, "She's also pursuing Joyoung oppa."

Fortunately, although the maids served tea, Lee Boo-jin did not drink it, otherwise she would definitely have spat it out.

"You... what did you say?" She opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

“Not only Angela, but many other women are pursuing him,” Li Yunxin said with a smile, “such as a popular national idol and a well-known female writer, but Angela is the most threatening one.”

“This…” Lee Boo-jin stammered, unsure of what to say.

“Perhaps it’s because he’s too charming,” Li Yunxin continued, her tone becoming meaningful, “After all, even my sister…”

"Yunxin!" Lee Boo-jin's face turned slightly red.

"Oh, I was just kidding." Li Yunxin quickly raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.

Then she changed the subject and said, "I know that my sister is concerned about me. I just want to tell my sister that I know what I am doing, just like my sister did back then."

Upon hearing this, Lee Boo-jin did not show any joy; instead, a hint of bitterness appeared on her face.

"I understand..." She lowered her eyelids and said nothing more.

She now understood what her younger sister's training programs in South Korea were all about, but she didn't intend to delve any deeper, because the man's words before he left were echoing in her mind again.

Yes, I used Ren Zaiyou, but to say that I had no feelings for him at all is impossible. How can one distinguish things so clearly in this world?

But what did that man do? Lee Boo-jin didn't want to think about it, but whenever she compared herself to her younger sister's man, a feeling of resentment would spread through her body.

She didn't see that Li Yunxin, who was also looking down, had a slight smile on her lips.

Putting that aside, as February arrives, the Spring Festival travel rush officially begins. Someone now has a little money, so naturally there's no need to squeeze onto the train. They fly directly to the provincial capital and then hire a taxi to go home.

As always, his father was clearly excited to see him, but he still put on a stern face and said, "Couldn't you have come back earlier? It's almost the Little New Year."

Xu Jiuyang could only appease him: "Didn't I say on the phone that I have to rush back after the seventh day of the new year? There's another TV series waiting to start filming."

Then my mom chimed in, "Why are you saying such unpleasant things? Our son has finally come home, can't you say something nice?"

Then she looked at her son earnestly: "Where's your girlfriend? Why didn't you bring her back?"

"Well..." Xu Jiuyang chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, "We've been broken up for... a few months now."

"You broke up? How did you break up?" My mom was clearly disappointed.

"If you don't get along, you break up. That's normal," Xu Jiuyang could only say.
