Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 44 There's no such thing as love at first sight (Please read on)
Indeed, Meiyan's birthday is coming soon. Chen Shijun is not someone who pays much attention to these kinds of ceremonies, but he still asked Secretary Li to buy a gift or something, since women just like these things.

When we were dating, this girl used to like to act cute and ask me to buy her gifts. Now that so much time has passed, it feels like things have changed.

"You bought something this expensive? Boss, you've never given me anything this expensive before! I'm going to make a scene!"

Miss Smarty, who had just finished playing cards, felt it was really unfair. Somewhat annoyed, she threw her somewhat torn stockings into the trash can. The smell of protein almost made her vomit.

She had worked two jobs and still hadn't received such an expensive gift, but she only complained about it and didn't dare to disobey Chen Shijun.

"Then you can buy one more. Your birthday... well, your birthday is still a while away, so I'll just consider it an early purchase for you."

Chen Shijun took a sip of coffee. This woman was an excellent coffee brewer. He hadn't realized it before, but now that he had it back, he found it even more convenient to use.

The secretary was immediately delighted and even wanted to kiss Chen Shijun, but when she saw that his lips were still wet, she pushed him away.

I don't think she's materialistic or anything like that. In today's society, we have to acknowledge the importance of economic foundation. Besides, this guy also agrees that women choosing successful men is in line with the logic of biological evolution.

Not only her, but other people around her were the same, and Chen Shijun was very used to it. When it came to being alienated by money, he felt that it was a natural choice.

Take Enchainuna for example. It's hard to find such a good option again. She's generous and never stingy with spending, and she doesn't have any unbearable flaws.

So many people carefully accompany the old man, gritting their teeth and enduring it. Are the slick-haired male celebrities in the industry really more sincere than Chen Shijun? There's always no better choice.

"We really need to go to Dr. An's place. No matter how weak a camel is, it's still bigger than a horse. We'll always be able to use this connection."

Given this teacher-student relationship, Dr. An's political career is far from over, and he is very likely to further align himself with the conservatives.

After all, they have a great influence among young and highly educated groups, and they have a clean image that is different from the old conservatives.

Whether it's short-term dependence or long-term cooperation, factional compromises may form in a short period of time. As the Levi administration approaches its halfway mark in power, traditional conservatives are likely to make room for it.

Even though his successive election defeats have diminished his potential as a potential leader, his strategy of sticking to the third path and waiting for the right opportunity doesn't seem to be working.

However, with the conservative forces suffering setbacks in several key strongholds, they may be able to make a decision at a crucial moment to gain more influence.

This is the tragedy of the middle way: while it can garner a fairly good number of votes across many generations and regions, it lacks the breadth of support.

Regionally, although he comes from Busan, he has been active in Seoul since entering university, and after entering politics, he joined forces with the Hunan faction.

Now, after the shift to the right, the traditionally conservative Busan, Ulsan, and Yeongnam regions have a weak sense of identity. Overall, they lack the conditions to win first place in any region or generation. They have the strength, but they are just a little bit lacking.

But if he is truly determined to side with the traditional conservatives, then he will be guaranteed a key position no matter what, and he might even play a prominent role in a change of regime someday.

Maintaining a distant relationship with him isn't without its advantages; if he were to become the Cabinet Secretary someday, it might actually be beneficial to his own career development.

"I heard that in addition to the party inauguration ceremony in Yeouido, the activities will start in Bundang first, which means we will also have to go to Gyeonggi Province."

In this region with its strong conservative undertones, it is generally difficult for conservatives to lose control unless a major upheaval occurs.

"Bundang is a great place. It's not as crowded as Seoul, but it's very close to other areas, and the living facilities are very complete." As an important area of ​​Seongnam City, a satellite city only 15km away from Seoul, the opening of the subway line has further strengthened its commuting connections with Gangnam District.

Nowadays, housing prices are soaring, making it a well-known wealthy area in the entire Seoul metropolitan area. As for why I am familiar with it, there is a core technology park in South Korea called Pangyo Science Park there.

This industrial park contributes 25% of the GDP of Gyeonggi Province, and a number of companies, including Samsung, SK, and LG, have R&D centers here.

It shoulders the heavy responsibility of serving 27 cities and 4 counties in Gyeonggi Province. During the Dunamu period, it made many trips for cooperation. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an extension of Seoul.

In contrast, the low residential density, high-quality educational resources, and green environment there have attracted many high-income groups to settle there.

I was thinking of buying a place there last time. I had my eye on a three-story commercial and residential building in the Tingzidong Coffee Street area, but I didn't buy it. Now the price has gone up quite a bit.

"Boss, you look so happy, I thought you had connections in Pentang!"

When Chen Shijun is in a good mood, Enhui has the courage to joke with him, and Chen Shijun doesn't mind anything, after all, she is his mistress with whom he has close contact, not an ordinary subordinate.

"No, that's not true. You'd better hurry up and do what I told you to do."

Chen Shijun truly had no ill-fated relationships in Pentang, nor had he ever dated a girlfriend from Pentang. He cannot accept such slander.

"Who knows, maybe I'll have a romantic encounter? The boss is so handsome, he can run into someone anywhere."

The secretary felt she was telling the truth, and sometimes she found this kind of unspoken office rule enjoyable and didn't feel any psychological pressure.

"Thank you for your kind words, go quickly."

Chen Shijun didn't take it to heart. After sending his subordinates away, he felt a bit empty. He had brought his parents to Seoul, but he didn't want to go back to their usual apartment.

Normally, she would seek out older women for entertainment, but Busan is too far away to provide immediate relief, and Zhao Meiyan is too busy with work to do so.

At this point, Chen Shijun felt that supporting an actor was much easier than supporting an idol. At least for him, not only was there much less exposure, but there was also more time for the actor to spend with him.

Idols, especially famous idols, are the least cost-effective option. They have many activities and their time is extremely fragmented. You can't expect your own spending money to cater to your idol's work schedule.

Although many of his peers enjoy indulging in debauchery in entertainment venues, such as Li Shengli, who was recently arrested, he was a typical pimp.

However, Chen Shijun rarely gets involved in this area. In contrast, he would keep the women he liked for a long time, which in a sense can be considered a kind of pure love.

"You're just talking nonsense. What do you mean by 'romantic encounter'? Do you think I'm the kind of person who seeks thrills?"

Who can believe in love at first sight? Chen Shijun certainly doesn't. He was probably just blinded by the sudden glow of a romantic relationship.
