Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 339 Risk it
"Sit down, sit down next to me."

Chen Shijun wasn't worried about the other party not complying, since they had taken the initiative to invite him, so it was understandable that they would be a little reserved.

However, through this bow, it's clear that this captain is truly gifted. Besides his incredibly long legs, he also has a very generous heart.

Tall girls might have this kind of talent, like the Somi from IOI who can possess both traits, but that's because their Caucasian ancestry is dominant. It's extremely rare for a purely Asian person to have this level of talent.

"Okay, okay."

Because of bowing, the hair at her temples covered her face. Captain Shaoqing reached out and gathered her hair behind her head, untied the hair tie and retied it. After putting her hair up, her face looked even more delicate.

Shaoqing, whose chin was being pinched and examined, felt completely controlled, but she still obediently sat down next to Chen Shijun, making the scene look more like a private banquet.

"Why did you do this, Shaoqing? I didn't ask you for anything."

It has to be said that drinking with a beautiful woman is quite enjoyable, and Chen Shijun's mood improved as well. The cricket in the girl's mouth also seemed less bothersome.

"I was just expressing my gratitude to Director Chen, I didn't mean anything else..."

"I thought you liked me, haha!"

This girl is really honest; after being the team leader for so many years, she's actually still lacking something.

"That's not what I meant! Director Chen, please don't misunderstand!"

The other person hurriedly waved her hands, and her embarrassed expression amused Chen Shijun. It was clearly an attempt to give her a way out and lighten the mood, but she couldn't quite accept it.

"I didn't expect Shaoqing to have such a good alcohol tolerance! Do you usually drink like this?"

It has to be said that the beautiful woman in front of me has a really good alcohol tolerance. After drinking for a while, her face only turned slightly red, so she must be the kind of person who can still drink for a while.

With a forceful pull, he drew Shaoqing into his arms. She made a small resistance, but quickly yielded.

She sighed deeply, as if she had completely resigned herself to her fate. But Chen Shijun didn't know why she was acting this way. After all, it was you who invited me here.

However, after making up her mind, Captain Shaoqing seemed to have resigned herself to her fate, sitting on the man's lap and even reaching out to hug Chen Shijun's neck.

"That's right, what kind of behavior was that just now?"

Chen Shijun doesn't have much patience for mature women like this. They don't have the same privileges as young girls, a fact he never denies.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Although the weather had turned a bit cold, Captain Shaoqing was dressed very form-fittingly today. Feeling the man's fingers tracing her back, she couldn't help but shudder.

The temperature inside the private room had risen higher and higher without anyone noticing, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on my lower back. However, that hand with distinct knuckles slid down my waistline and directly to the folds of my skirt.

The knee hidden under the table suddenly pressed against Chen Shijun's calf. The man picked up his wine glass with amusement, stood up, and looked down at Shaoqing to feed her a drink.

Shaoqing wasn't sure if this counted as pressure, but she thought it probably did. However, there was no way out at the moment, so she could only tilt her head back, open her mouth, and hope to receive the wine from the glass.

Instead of tilting the glass directly, Chen Shijun deliberately held the rim of the glass half an inch above her lips, forcing her to tilt her head back. The wine slid down her cheeks, across her chin, and through her delicate neck into the shadows of her clothes.

"Cough cough cough!" The woman was clearly choked. Chen Shijun felt that his behavior was a bit like that of a villain in a TV series, but he thought it was just a little bit of fun and did not reflect on his character.

"Do you know what your biggest problem is? Shaoqing, you give up on yourself too easily."

In the end, he didn't let the woman continue drinking in such an embarrassing way. Instead, he handed the glass back to Shaoqing, sat down again, and took a tissue to wipe the wine off her face.

This sudden act of thoughtfulness made her even more flustered than her previous behavior. She took the glass and sipped the wine. The spiciness of the wine made her frown slightly, but the tissue she used to wipe her cheeks unexpectedly brought a touch of warmth.

I should have been mentally prepared, but when I actually encountered this situation, I still couldn't accept it.

"Too easily resigned to fate, yet not thoroughly. Having chosen this path, how can we do something that makes each other unhappy?"

I was thinking to myself, "Are you cosplaying as Kwon Eunbi? Is this some kind of talent of the leader? Eunbi is much more decisive at times, and that aloofness is a unique charm of hers."

The woman lowered her eyes. What the man said was indeed true. She seemed to always be like this. She appeared to have the leadership qualities of a captain, but in reality, she could neither fully commit herself nor stand still with peace of mind.

Watching the subtle changes in her expression, he suddenly reached out and pulled her back into his arms. A large patch of his shirt was wet, but there was no need to care about that at this moment.

Tucking a stray strand of hair behind his ear, Chen Shijun kissed the woman who seemed still immersed in self-torture. Shaoqing was clearly taken aback, but quickly stuck out her tongue.

This seemingly self-destructive feeling unexpectedly resonated with Chen Shijun. He had to admit that this woman perfectly matched his aesthetic standards; she was tall and gentle, which was why he readily accepted her surrender.

"Woo! Woo!"

Feeling somewhat short of breath, Captain Shaoqing wiped the saliva from her mouth and gasped for air. Her face was flushed red from the alcohol.

"Let's not drink anymore! Drinking will lead to trouble. This slightly tipsy state is the best."

Instead of the oppressive probing, Chen Shijun talked about music, the future development of GFRIEND, and even offered a few seemingly reasonable but actually uninformative remarks.

However, his insight into the industry gradually made Captain Shaoqing lower her guard, and she even took the initiative to ask him questions while holding his arm.

Men at the dinner table are naturally talkative; even ordinary men can boast in a variety of ways, let alone Chen Shijun, who also recounted the hardships of starting a business together in the early years.

Such boasts from successful people, supported by certain evidence, seem impeccable. At certain moments, Shaoqing can even see, beneath the halo of youthful wealth, the same tired young man.

Thinking of the difficulties Source Music and the group GFRIEND faced in their early days, Captain Shaoqing even felt a subtle sense of resonance. Come to think of it, he wasn't much older than himself, and it must have been very difficult for a young person to get to where he was.

The way she looked at Chen Shijun unconsciously changed. She didn't know there was a saying that you should never empathize with capitalists, especially since this guy had just done something very outrageous to her.

As night deepened, Chen Shijun called a designated driver. When he left the restaurant, he noticed that the driver's chest was completely soaked.

All of this was his doing. Chen Shijun noticed the woman's embarrassment and naturally took off his coat, draping it over her shoulders.

"Thank you, Director Chen..."

Captain Shaoqing realized that her voice was actually a little sweet, and her coat seemed to still have some body heat and a faint perfume scent enveloping her.
