Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 275 It's Time to Pay the Reward

His hand unconsciously touched the spot where she had just been kissed. Watching her figure disappear in the direction of the dormitory building, Chen Shijun couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. He hadn't expected this girl to be so bold.

At this moment, Yu-jin, who had run home, leaned against the cold door panel before daring to breathe heavily, her ten fingers stroking her face, which was as hot as a boiled egg.

"You're back? Did you enjoy your date today?"

The mother was chatting and watching TV with her older sister when she saw this girl looking breathless with bright, sparkling eyes. She couldn't help but wonder what she had been up to.

"Yes, it's very enjoyable! I'm very happy."

Although there were some minor hiccups, it was generally a pleasant experience; perhaps it's just that the recent trends have been a bit strange.

"What are you holding? Did you buy anything? Let us see!"

The older sister looked at the Chanel box in her hand and couldn't help but ask curiously, wanting to see what her younger sister's taste was like. This surprised An An greatly.

"Ah! This is a gift I'm preparing to give to someone else. It's already wrapped, so I won't open it!"

Clutching the box tightly to her chest, Yu-jin's flustered refusal was suspicious, but since she had already said that, there was nothing more to say. They could only look at each other and watch as the youngest sister fled back to her bedroom.

"Damn it, if we get found out, I'm not going to live anymore."

Opening the exquisite packaging box, the leather and rhinestone design is quite avant-garde, while the metal chain at the interface evokes a sense of shame, clearly indicating that it is intended for future expansion.

The price tag was still on. Even if Chen Shijun told the truth, she wouldn't believe him. After all, Enhui regretted buying this thing out of revenge spending and had kept it in the drawer without touching it.

It wasn't that these two didn't like to indulge in these romantic gestures; they just hadn't found the opportunity. So, An'an getting a brand new necklace was purely by chance.

As if possessed, she walked to the dressing mirror, opened the box, carefully examined the item in her hand, gritted her teeth, and put it around her neck. The cold chain slid across her chest, bringing her even more embarrassment.

"Oppa! Is it handsome?"

I took a picture and sent it to Chen Shijun. I happened to be wearing a dress that wasn't too low-cut but not too high either. I was a little shy, so I kept biting my lip. My little expression looked extremely cute.

I didn't get a reply quickly. A quick search revealed the accessory costs three to four million Korean won, which is quite expensive. I honestly think it looks pretty good on me; maybe Chen Shijun has good taste?
Before I knew it, I felt sleepy, so I put on Chen Shijun's little gift and dozed off on my bed. Soon, a jumble of dreams began to wash over me.

"Yes, it's just a little fun, oppa likes you."

The snapping sound signified the chain expanding, and she felt no resistance, only clinging to the man and kissing him passionately.

"Really? You really like me? Oppa is so highly educated..."

Faced with the girl's lack of confidence, Chen Shijun explained to her why female athletes are very popular with wealthy men all over the world, and that although An'an is not a female athlete, she looks a lot like one.

An'an's little dream was startled awake by a knock on the door. It turned out that her mother had washed some fruit and asked her to come out and eat. She groggily got out of bed to open the door, but suddenly realized that she was wearing a small ornament around her neck.

"I'll change my clothes and be right out! You guys eat first."

In a moment of chaos, they tried to unravel the mystery but couldn't find the right spot, and were so tense they almost fainted. "Yoojin, you're really beautiful."

Looking at the photos the girl sent him on his phone, Chen Shijun felt a real surge of energy. Perhaps he had a particular fondness for tall, beautiful women, just like how he thought Koike was the best among the N team's debut group, and how Nakamura Ichiyo was someone to look forward to among the trainees in the S team.

However, before that, Chen Shijun still called and severely criticized Secretary Enhui. Even though he had taken the wrong thing, didn't she bear any responsibility at all?
"What does this have to do with me? I've already given you everything; you just took the wrong thing."

En Hui was extremely dissatisfied and resentful, saying that since the items had been handed over to Chen Shijun, it meant that the transfer of power and responsibility was complete, and she had no reason to take the blame for everything that happened afterward.

"If you don't buy this thing and just leave it in my drawer, do you think I'd take the wrong one?"

You think your money grows on trees? If you buy it and it comes in handy, then I won't say anything. But today, this girl has to take the blame.

"I wanted to use it with Director Chen, but now I'm out of luck."

Secretary Li said that it was up to you and she wouldn't argue with him, but what happened tonight was really quite amusing, but fortunately the ending wasn't bad.

"The other person doesn't seem offended at all, they might even help you get things done!"

Holding her phone, she sarcastically remarked to the man who had gotten the better deal but was now acting innocent, implying that her intentions were good and that the other party had ultimately carried them out, so she had done nothing wrong!
Although it was a fallacy, Chen Shijun let the woman who had served him so diligently go along with his plans, since what she said made some sense; he had indeed taken the wrong box from the drawer.

Today, Source Music announced GFRIEND's contract renewal. Chen Shijun paid more attention to it, and Jin Shaoqing sent him a thank-you text message, which was even somewhat ambiguous in its tone.

I was about to reply, but An'an's interruption made me forget about it instantly, and I couldn't remember these little things at all.

"Unnie! When do you think the company will let us come back? There were no promises made during the negotiations!"

After all, this older sister was the first to bring good news, and as the team leader, she often communicates with the company, so she should be more informed than everyone else.

The contract wasn't very long, and the company didn't express any desire for a long-term partnership. Strangely, they didn't push for a high profit-sharing ratio; it was just a fairly standard contract.

This is also related to Representative Su's strategy. After the complete dismantling of the N team plan, most of the personnel added to the plan were put into new projects, leaving only enough manpower to barely keep the operation running for these "big shots".

"Don't ask me, I don't know, and I don't want to know. Now that we've renewed our contracts, the company can't just abandon us, can it?"

In fact, Captain Qing was also in a complete mess and didn't want to think about these things at all. He sent a text message to Chen Shijun, but as always, the message went unanswered.

"You bastard, if your phone is useless, just throw it away. How dare you treat me like this?"

I felt like crying. I've never suffered such grievances in all these years. I believe in my heart that Chen Shijun is deliberately keeping me at arm's length, hoping that I'll lower my standards and come to him.

She didn't believe Chen Shijun was uninterested in her at all. If he wasn't interested, would he have helped her get things done so quickly? It seemed like he was afraid she would change her mind, so he shipped the goods ahead of time to prevent her from having a chance to change her mind.

If Chen Shijun were to send her a message now, asking her to go to a certain place, it would actually put a weight off her mind. Now that the other party has fulfilled the agreement, it's time to pay the reward, but what if she hadn't thought about paying this reward before?

Perhaps we could continue to play dumb and wait for Chen Shijun to give a stronger hint. Although the initiative wouldn't be in our hands, maybe we could have some room to negotiate?
