The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

The next moment, a look of surprise appeared on Han Renjia's face.

"Duoling-xi~"

"Sister Renjia, it really is you!"

The person who came couldn't stop smiling.

Han Renjia stood up with a smile, and the two hugged each other excitedly.

Han Renjia and Gao Duoling haven't seen each other for a long time.

This unexpected encounter made them both very excited.

The two sat down facing each other, and Han Renjia ordered two more cups of coffee and some snacks.

While waiting, the two chatted about the past.

Their initial meeting was quite dramatic; they met during the filming of a TV series that Han Renjia was involved in.

They only found out during a chat during a break from filming.

They were actually senior and junior students at Kyung Hee University, one of South Korea's most prestigious universities.

However, Han Renjia was four years ahead of Gao Duoling.

Han Renjia had already graduated long ago, while Gao Duoling was still a junior in college.

Their similar backgrounds naturally brought them closer.

Han Renjia had a good impression of this cute and adorable junior schoolmate and took good care of her during the filming process.

Gao Duoling also greatly admired this gentle and intellectual senior.

Before they knew it, the two had formed a deep friendship.

However, the entertainment industry in South Korea is very demanding.

This is especially true for artists.

Han Renjia is in a better position; she already has some fame and has more freedom.

However, Gao Duoling was still a semi-debuted artist at the time.

She's essentially a trainee in the film and television industry, and her agency has a lot of control over her.

Although they exchanged contact information, they didn't have many opportunities to communicate.

They both have their own studies and careers to attend to.

Their schedules were beyond their control, so gradually the two of them had less and less contact.

I never expected to run into you here today.

Han Renjia smiled at Gao Duoling and said softly, "Long time no see, our Duoling-xi~ You're still so beautiful..."

Gao Duoling's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she shyly replied, "No way, compared to you, I'm far from being as good..."

"hehe..."

This is precisely what Han Renjia likes about this junior schoolmate—she's naive and doesn't seem to have any guile.

However, she has now officially entered the entertainment industry.

I wonder how long this innocence can last.

Thinking of this, Han Renjia couldn't help but ask, "Duoling-xi~, when we last contacted each other, you said you had officially debuted."

"How is it, are you getting used to it?"

As they were talking, the waiter brought over the drinks and snacks they had ordered.

Said thank you.

Gao Duoling gently stirred her coffee and replied softly, "It's alright, really. It's called my official debut, but it's not much different from before..."

She used to shuttle between school and company, and had very little free time of her own.

Now, however, he is tied to the company all day long.

Strictly speaking, they are even less free than before.

Today happened to be one of her rare holidays, and she found herself here by some strange twist of fate, only to run into this senior she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Is that so? Everyone's like this at the beginning. With your talent, things will definitely get better..."

Han Renjia smiled and offered a word of comfort.

She went through that period herself and knows how harsh South Korean entertainment companies treat their artists.

To put it bluntly, even the daily chats between celebrities and their friends are restricted.

"Sister, do you think an artist wants to become famous...?"

Gao Duoling stopped halfway through her sentence, looking very conflicted.

Upon seeing this, Han Renjia frowned and asked, "Is it something?"

"Hmm, is it very tiring?"

Gao Duoling said with a smile, but the smile on her face was very forced.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Han Renjia had a bad feeling.

"No...it's nothing, just a thought."

Gao Duoling gave a casual explanation, then asked, "By the way, don't just talk about me, sister. I heard you also changed companies. Are you adjusting well to the new one?"

Clearly, she didn't want to continue on that topic.

He gave a perfunctory reply and abruptly shifted the topic to Han Renjia.

"Me? I'm doing alright, the new company is pretty good..."

As Han Renjia answered, she thoughtfully sized up Gao Duoling in front of her.

She is now genuinely worried that something bad might have happened to her junior.

After all, those who know, know what the South Korean entertainment industry is like.

However, she didn't want to press the matter further, as that would make her, as a junior, feel uncomfortable.

That's not her style either.

In other words, even if Gao Duoling were willing to speak, Han Renjia couldn't guarantee that she could be of any help.

Think of this.

Han Renjia sighed, but still said one more thing.

"Duoling-xi, being an artist is definitely tough. If you're unhappy at your current company, you can try coming to ours..."

Chapter 145 Hwang Chun-sik's Worries

Han Renjia returned to the eighth floor of the Jinmen Building absentmindedly; this was the floor belonging to the film and television company.

It is also a floor specifically allocated to film and television artists.

Kinmen Film Company is located inside the Kinmen Building.

In fact, at present, the eight subsidiaries of Kinmen Group are equivalent to the eight departments of Kinmen Group.

However, they belong to different floors.

Needless to say, the top floors of the building...

It mainly consists of the offices and meeting rooms of several senior executives of the group.

The two subsidiaries that Ding Xin was in charge of were located on the sixth to tenth floors of the building.

The film company occupied four floors, namely the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth floors.

The sixth floor houses the music department and the trainees' training rooms.

The seventh floor is the variety show department; the eighth floor is the film and television department; and the ninth floor is the directors' and screenwriters' offices, as well as the president's office.

The manufacturing company used the tenth floor.

Ding Xin had even lost his temper on the spot over the issue of the floor.

Logically speaking, the Golden Gate Building has a total of twenty floors, and apart from the top four floors, two floors are allocated to a subsidiary company.

Ding Xin definitely couldn't agree to that.

Why would companies like hotels, entertainment venues, department stores, and logistics companies need so many floors?

The employees are all scattered, and they each have their own office space.

But film and television companies are different.

Basically all the employees gathered together.

Not to mention the increasing number of artists and trainees in the future...

When the allocation was made at the meeting.
