Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 58 The Terrified Little Snake (Please continue reading)

"But he's always surrounded by these bad women, these wicked women who will do anything for money."

Xiao Yuan's behavior really left Youzhen speechless. Your oppa has so much money, what's wrong with letting other women spend it?

With such a bumper harvest, how many sparrows can possibly eat? You little girl, you're such a petty miser, so narrow-minded!

"You yourself said that the women who cry and throw themselves at your brother could stretch from Seoul to Gyeongbuk-do. There must be a lot of them who are after your money."

Yu-jin believes that material possessions and money are also important factors that attract a woman, which may be a kind of social resource security, belonging to a biological instinct.

The wealth and resources of successful people symbolize a stronger ability to survive, and men who can provide stable economic protection will naturally receive more attention in modern society.

Successful people's economic foundation can reduce the uncertainty of life. After all, in Seoul, where land is extremely valuable, everyone faces the real needs called desires.

Chen Shijun can satisfy the deep-seated need for security in most women, and as a senior executive of an entertainment company, his career achievements and social influence are remarkable.

This is probably one of the reasons why Jung Eun-chae chose to commit herself to him. It might also provide potential development opportunities for female artists, thus creating a synergistic effect of resource attraction.

During her interactions with Chen Shijun, Youzhen found that the most attractive thing about this man was his composure, a feeling she really cherished.

Although we don't know what his actual personality is like, he seems to be the kind of person with strong emotional stability, which can easily satisfy some women's subconscious need for an emotional safe haven.

“It’s perfectly normal for outstanding men, especially single ones, to have female celebrities following them around. Jung Eun-chae, whom you mentioned, won’t be the only one, nor will she be the last.”

Yoo-jin spoke frankly to Won-young about what made Chen Shi-jun so attractive, especially the sense of composure and the powerful aura of control he exuded.

Moreover, as a top executive of the largest entertainment company, he holds power, and his promising career path symbolizes top-tier social resources. The halo effect brought by his career naturally enhances his attractiveness.

Through her interactions with him, she saw Chen Shijun's warm nature and the care he occasionally showed to Yuan Ying. The emotional depth beneath his aloof exterior created a charming contrast.

Indeed, this was the case. Unbeknownst to the two girls, a trainee who was working hard to prepare for his debut also thought the same thing.

This paradox of "the unconquerable are ultimately conquered" is extremely easy to attract girls who are not thinking clearly.

Zhimin felt that this was a combination of security and excitement, even though this guy started touching her inappropriately as soon as they met, and even tried to swallow her whole.

However, Chen Shijun's charm and dangerous attributes satisfied her dual expectations of being both a "protected person" and an "explorer".

The little snake even sees this man as a vessel for her fantasy of redemption, although his casual attitude towards relationships seems to have a moral flaw.

However, this moral flaw would be a fatal weakness for an ordinary man who is poor, not handsome, and not gentle enough, but for Chen Shijun, it only makes her think, "I can change him."

Although they had only met twice and had kept in touch, she regarded Chen Shijun as an "unconquerable person who was ultimately conquered by her," while in her subconscious she was "both longing to be conquered and longing to conquer."

Human nature is so complex. Chen Shijun also knew that girls of this age are most prone to overestimating their abilities, so there was no need to change the tactics. He just needed to repeat what had already been done and there would be no problem.

So Xiaoliu suddenly noticed that the frequency with which the man replied to her messages was gradually decreasing, and she immediately felt a sense of unease.

"Why were you so distracted while dancing today? You're all top contenders, this won't do. Nobody should think they're guaranteed a debut."

Xiaoliu ignored the room leader's reprimand, letting the warm water wash away her sweat as she dragged her tired body. She unconsciously glanced down at her shapely figure. She couldn't see her feet at a glance, which sometimes bothered her, like when she swayed while dancing.

But more often than not, it's also a symbol of his charm. Chen Shijun actually made a move on him that night; what a bold man.

"He's probably busy. After all, he's a senior executive at Big Hit, probably like Director Lee Soo-man."

The girl kept comforting herself, but deep down she was more inclined to believe that Chen Shijun had acted impulsively and gone too far.

He's no longer willing to spend time flirting with a girl, even though she's already given him a very clear indication of her progress. He has many more readily available options around him.

This is very upsetting, but it is also an undeniable fact that beauty is not a scarce resource for him.

"That was really awful. They even touched my bear back then. They were absolutely wicked."

She scrubbed herself with gritted teeth, letting the spray from the showerhead envelop her face, and for some reason, this sense of defeat lingered over her.

That's why I was a bit restless today. Some of my dance moves were distorted because of my worries, which is why I got scolded by the dance teacher.

"Oppa, I got scolded again today. I feel really bad. I hope I won't be able to debut."

Sending messages to the man as if making small talk, Zhimin felt she should adjust her pace and perhaps take the initiative.

By first overwhelming the recipient with gifts and luxurious experiences, and then by creating a sense of distance by cooling things down, Xiaoliu successfully triggered her loss aversion mechanism.

Humans are creatures whose fear of loss far outweighs their pleasure of gain, and they instinctively want to hold on to and salvage anything beautiful that is about to disappear.

Xiaoliu now wants to recapture that feeling of being highly valued, and wants to return to the time when Chen Shijun communicated with her frequently.

Although this method of creating panic has the suspicion of being a compliance test, Chen Shijun looked at the girl's message and felt that she might be a little uneasy.

However, in my interactions with women over the years, it has been difficult to establish a foundation of trust. Instead, I have been reusing these "techniques" and becoming increasingly adept at them.

"Jimin, keep up the good work! I'm planning to be your number one fan!"

Chen Shijun felt that he was already Yuan Ying's number one fan, and soon he would become Zhi Min's number one fan.

This title feels like Julius Caesar's title of First Roman Citizen. How come he won't be the number one K-pop fan?
The girl wrapped herself up tightly after taking a shower, knowing she couldn't afford to catch a cold at this time of year; a serious illness could ruin all her efforts.

The message Chen Shijun sent her, which she had added a special note to, immediately made her eyes light up. Her number one fan was actually a director of Big Hit. This was incredible!

Chen Shih-Chun replied that his recent projects are progressing and he is also facing global recruitment, so he is quite busy.

"It's right that Director Chen is busy. A real man should prioritize his career. I didn't mean anything by it, I was just showing some concern."

Zhimin realized that this was how it was. It was understandable that he was held back by his career, and it was not that he was deliberately neglecting her.
