Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 49 Director Chen Repays Kindness with Enmity (Please Read Further)
"We can just have a simple meal! It doesn't need to be so fancy."

After the talkative Zhimin had said most of what she should and shouldn't have said, Chen Shijun finally took her to a restaurant, a relatively high-end Chinese restaurant that naturally had abalone, shark fin, fish maw, and sea cucumber.

"To thank our future superstar, of course we should do it in a grand way."

Chen Shijun felt that this guy was really unruly, at least his mouth was really loose, and he would definitely suffer a great loss because of this mouth in the future.

However, such people are easy to deal with. They are not family members. The more restless they are, the easier it is for them to expose their flaws. It's just that the artist doesn't know too much about the core content. Otherwise, I would have exposed her completely.

"Is that so? I only did something very small, and I feel really embarrassed about it."

Actually, she wasn't that embarrassed. Of course, if she weren't so handsome, rich, and powerful, Xiaoliu felt she would definitely be embarrassed. But now she was just expressing her envy of economic capital and social status.

In fact, Chen Shijun has seen quite a few girls like this. The top-tier account of a young, handsome entrepreneur is really effective, and he habitually resorts to the same tactics he used to use on women.

“Let me take you to buy a gift. The upright Zhimin deserves a reward.”

He held the napkin to the girl's lips, and Zhimin closed her eyes shyly. After a while, she noticed that the man's hand was still in mid-air. Her face turned red, and she awkwardly took the napkin.

It was only their second meeting, and she was already in this state, yet she still wanted him to wipe her mouth. She couldn't help but curse him inwardly for being so worthless. She pinched her thigh hard and kept wiping her mouth with her head down.

As she stepped out of the restaurant, a cold wind swept over her like it was carrying ice crystals, making Zhimin instinctively wrap her coat tighter. She was sacrificing warmth for the sake of looking good, with only the large scarf around her neck offering some comfort.

Still reeling from her recent embarrassment, she didn't even realize where Chen Shijun was taking her when they got into the car. It wasn't until they arrived at the underground parking garage of Lotte Department Store, the largest shopping mall in Songpo District, that she belatedly asked Chen Shijun where they were.

"Of course it's a reward for Zhimin, haven't I said it many times?"

Chen Shijun kept pulling her along, and the perfume counters under the mirrored dome made her feel a little overwhelmed. Actually, she had come here with her girlfriends before, but some of the luxury counters made them feel a little intimidated.

Although their families were well-off, and dual-income families were certainly stable, the love for luxury goods was ingrained in the hearts of most of the girls.

Chen Shijun led the girl through the decadent and extravagant world, just like the other girls he had led before. Usually, at this point, the relationship was as fragile as a broken window.

"That's not a good idea! I can't accept Mr. Chen's gift; it's too expensive."

The glass window of Prada reflected her somewhat awkward figure, and Chen Shijun's immediate offer to buy her a gift was a bit beyond her expectations.

"Hey! Has Zhimin forgotten the story I told you? This is the teaching of a sage."

A huge photo of the girl and her senior colleague Eileen was displayed at the entrance. Chen Shijun didn't know why it was only a half-body photo, but it didn't matter; she was still quite pretty.

"Maybe when Jimin debuts, they'll replace the photo of you on the door with yours. I hope I can see it next time I come."

Seeing that the girl was still in a dilemma, Chen Shijun's usual methods for dealing with women came in handy once again.

He put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her in front of the display stand. This slightly forceful behavior left the girl with little power to resist.

As for why Chen Shijun was so enthusiastic about the girl he met for the second time, it was obviously because she was beautiful. Could it be because of her soul?

Although his appearance was sharp and didn't fit his usual aesthetic, the snake-themed makeup and styling tonight really appealed to him.

Chen Shijun never hid his love for beautiful women. At his age, he had acquired enormous wealth and needed some way to satisfy his desires.

One woman after another came and went, each seeking their own gain, while others remained as pets. Tonight, this girl seemed to stir a strange power within him.

"This year? That's an exaggeration, but I'm sure I'll have some great endorsements in the future."

Zhimin wasn't the type of girl who was slow to warm up. Chen Shijun felt the challenge wasn't high and even secretly mocked her for not matching her looks with his skill level. He thought she would surrender quickly once he made his move. The saleswoman watched as Chen Shijun had already suggested that the girl choose, but she was still somewhat timid. She sighed inwardly, thinking that she was still young after all.

You should know that most of the women who bring girls to buy things are actually vicious and ruthless, even if they seem sensible.

Under Chen Shijun's pressure, the girl cautiously chose a basic bag, which seemed quite sensible, and this almost sent a good signal to the man.

Chen Shijun didn't think that doing this was repaying kindness with enmity. Although the other party had sent him the things, he had his own thoughts about them. He could attribute it all to the girl's unique charm and attraction.

"That's not a good idea, Director Chen, you should take it back. I'm just a trainee..."

These words did reveal some things. Although Chen Shijun's identity was clearly stated on the business card, the girl has been avoiding the topic and deliberately blurring the lines between their identities to reduce the feeling of her clinging to him.

"When we're not working, let's not talk about our positions, just treat me as a friend."

He pushed away the girl's hand that was holding the shopping bag and adjusted the scarf around her neck. This gesture was intimate enough and clearly not the kind of behavior that should occur between a man and a woman who have just met.

But this was already commonplace for Chen Shijun. He even deliberately scratched the other person's cheek with his finger, trying to test the other person's bottom line with this provocative behavior.

"I just feel like I'm not getting the rewards I deserve for what I'm doing, it feels like..."

The girl, clutching her shopping bag, still felt a little ashamed and couldn't lift her head. Chen Shijun knew this was the anxiety that young girls often feel.

Although I'm in the entertainment industry, a notoriously complex and often corrupting environment, I'm still quite inexperienced and may need to learn from my mistakes to grow.

"Let me take you home, our future superstar. My sister is also an idol; she used to be a trainee. Seeing you reminds me of my sister."

Chen Shijun suddenly realized that he had said this reason many times, but the other person's pupils also suddenly dilated, and then he started to think about which idol had the surname Chen.

I racked my brains the whole way but still couldn't figure out who it was. I was too embarrassed to ask, so I just chuckled and lowered my head, which was quite the opposite of my sharp features.

"Could you tell me some news about SM Entertainment in the future? I won't make things difficult for you. You know I'm a senior executive at an entertainment company, and there's a lot I need to learn."

Chen Shijun knew, of course, that a trainee couldn't possibly know any inside information; it was all just a tactic to seduce girls and give them the illusion that they were needed.

He reached out and poked the girl's mole on her lip; this frivolous act was a further test.

"I can't...I'm an SM...I can't..."

Normally, Chen Shijun would start to take action after his initial three moves, and he did just that today, pulling the girl into his arms with very weak resistance.

"Zhimin, it will only do you good, not bad."

This reaction gave him a feeling that the night was settled, so he leaned over and kissed the girl's lips; the lipstick had a cool, refreshing scent.

The subtle sensations made Zhimin think she must be crazy to let this man she had only met twice do whatever he wanted to her.

Moreover, this guy wasn't exactly honest with himself; he started testing the girl's conscience by going through the seams of her coat. Winter clothes can hide a lot of things, and Chen Shijun suddenly felt like he had unearthed a treasure.

"No, we've only just met!"

Struggling to push the man away and panting heavily, Zhimin wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. Even if it was love at first sight, she couldn't let herself be manipulated after just two meetings.
