Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 251 Like a God of the Flowery Realm

"Director Chen also has his difficulties. You know that your behavior today was somewhat inappropriate, which put him in a passive position."

Whether there was any involuntary favor or not is unknown, but Minju was definitely treated more seriously. It wouldn't hurt to scare her a little; soft girls are meant to be bullied.

"I am truly grateful to Secretary Li for today. It was my fault that my behavior caused Director Chen to misunderstand. I hope you can explain it to me."

Minju had a bitter face, with tear stains still visible on her face. Chen Shijun had misunderstood her. Was she really some kind of scheming and wicked woman?

How could Xiaoyuan's brother think of her like that? Thinking of this made her feel sad again. How could she live her life if things continued like this?

This misunderstanding felt like a huge burden, making it hard for the girl to breathe. Sometimes she even hoped that Chen Shijun could understand her.

In this situation, Eunhye naturally understood what she was thinking. This habit of obeying and waiting for approval was something she would never have again after meeting Chen Shijun.

There are unrealistic expectations placed on Chen Shijun, who is believed to be more reasonable and fair, but Minju's expectations will definitely be disappointed.

First, she needs to know clearly whether Chen Shijun is willing to understand her. Although this man is not intentionally misunderstanding her, he definitely doesn't have any good intentions.

Even Eun-hye felt that, given Chen Shi-jun's personality, he might have some strange thoughts. For example, if he thought you were pretending, he wouldn't let you off the hook but would try to expose your disguise and see how embarrassed you were.

She felt that Minju craved security and recognition, a mentality that is quite common in the workplace, especially when communication is not always smooth.

"Director Chen actually has no problem with you. You know, this role was something Director Chen went to great lengths to get for you. He values ​​his promise to you very much."

As Chen Shijun's most trusted confidante, Eunhye naturally knew not to escalate the conflict. Besides, Chen Shijun had indeed treated Minju well. In any case, she had received unexpected benefits.

Min Zhou was taken aback by this statement. It did seem to make sense. To be fair, Chen Shijun hadn't done anything to him. For example, today he had Secretary Li drive him home.

"Take it slow. You know Director Chen is actually a good person, but he can be a bit stubborn sometimes. He'll understand you eventually."

Instead of adjusting the other person's mindset, Eunhye intentionally or unintentionally trapped her in this cycle of expectation and helplessness, deliberately misunderstanding that this was Chen Shijun's problem and did not mean that Minju himself was wrong.

"I'll explain it to Chen Shijun too. After all, you didn't do it on purpose, and I believe it will be explained away quickly."

Such words of comfort quickly helped Minju stop being depressed, and he even managed a smile. This person who was close to Chen Shijun probably possessed tremendous energy.

"Thank you so much! I will definitely repay you. If you have the chance, please let me treat you to a meal."

Minju almost bowed deeply to Secretary Li. There are indeed more good people in this world. He wondered if Chen Shijun would benefit from this good person.

After all, right under her nose, Chen Shijun was truly a lecherous tyrant descended from heaven, like a tyrant among flowers. She had witnessed and heard firsthand the fate of Consort Quan, which was the source of her fear of Chen Shijun.

While Minju felt it was wrong to have stereotypes about a profession, he could still think of some issues that led this female secretary to trust him so much.

The disagreement between the two sides may lie in whether Chen Shijun is a good person or not. Minju believes that a guy who plays with women cannot be considered a good person, but it seems that Eunbi unnie offered herself up. Should the specific circumstances be treated on a case-by-case basis?
The girl's mind was a mess, and she went upstairs in a daze. Just out of her sight, the female secretary shook her head and gave a cryptic smile.

If Chen Shijun were there, he would likely interpret it as not simply friendliness, but rather a sense of composure after successfully delivering the food precisely.

"Director Chen is a good person, Director Chen is a good person?" He threw his small bag on the sofa, took off his shoes, buried his face in his knees, and repeated Secretary Li's words over and over again, but in the end he shook his head firmly.

This kind of man is dangerous; I can't afford to play that game. It's better to keep things simple. Doing what Eunbi unnie did is too terrifying.

……

“This Kim Min-ju may truly be completely unaware of the situation. Her fear is growing inward, and the pressure you put on her may very well be too much for her to handle.”

Eunhye broke the silence, and it was clear that she was still trying to understand Chen Shijun using the logic of being a good person or not, which was quite interesting to think about.

"What does this have to do with me? When did I ever increase the intensity for her? I think your psychology knowledge is completely wasted. How come you can't see what I can see?"

Chen Shijun felt that Eunhye might have really regressed, because she was still convinced that Kim Minju was a soft girl. He felt that she might have misjudged her at first, but then she stubbornly refused to admit that she had misjudged her.

"You're only seeing the surface. She's not a complicated person. If you think about her with a very complicated mindset, you'll naturally feel the difference."

Secretary Li persisted in her opinion, which puzzled Chen Shijun. She was the one who tricked Min Zhou into going up the mountain back then, so why had she suddenly become so kind-hearted?

"When there's no need to resort to underhanded tactics, I can still be kind-hearted. There's no need to be a meaningless bad person!"

Although En Hui said that, Chen Shijun knew in his heart that her small act of kindness was probably just to accumulate merit, and then she would sell it off in one go to make a big splash.

Chen Shijun once commented on his secretary, saying that if she were a man, she would definitely have the guts to kill.

"I've never understood why you think I have any ulterior motives towards Kim Min-ju. Clearly, nothing of this aligns with my choices."

Chen Shijun sometimes wondered if he had inadvertently revealed something that Enhui had seen without him noticing.

"Let's wait and see. I think we should let things play out for a while. Sometimes, Director Chen still can't face his own twisted thoughts."

Including today's dissatisfaction with Kim Min-ju, Eun-hye sees it as a form of extreme pressure, an attempt to achieve a kind of hunting through this pressure.

Kim Min-ju felt like prey, and Eun-hye, from a third-person perspective, could also see that Chen Shi-jun was probably just being stubborn and refusing to admit it.

"What are you talking about? I don't have any perverted thoughts."

Chen Shijun was furious, his throat tightening with anger. This little secretary was so disrespectful; if he wasn't properly taught a lesson and corrected, she probably wouldn't know where she stood.

"Perhaps I've gone too far, that's not what I meant, but I still stand by my opinion, this girl..."

Eunhye only said half of what she wanted to say, but she turned the rest of her words into a smile. She maintained a very good sense of boundaries with Chen Shijun.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to go home tonight. You'll have to bear the consequences of Kim Minju's mistake today!"

"Why should I take the blame for her? Besides, what mistake did she make that warrants physical punishment?"
