Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 622: Gap, Fight Back in a Different Way

Shilla Hotel, cocktail party scene.

Everyone focused their eyes on the two people at the entrance, silently following their conversation.

One of these two people is a talented writer whose works are sold overseas, a big director with good box office, and he is only in his twenties with outstanding looks. He has made amazing achievements in less than two years after crossing over to the entertainment industry. He is absolutely a child of destiny.

The other is the undisputed princess of South Korea, simply because her name is Lee Boo-jin.

A woman who possesses talent, beauty, education and family background, high emotional intelligence, high IQ, and good looks, and owns assets worth over trillions, is simply a realistic portrayal of the domineering female president in novels.

She is the most beautiful, rich and white girl in South Korea, and is recognized as the eldest princess by 5000 million Koreans. She has been loved by everyone since she was a child, and those who pursue her can line up from Seoul to London.

Even according to the mate selection criteria of a country's president, she would not lose to anyone in terms of external conditions.

There is a saying in Korea that as a Korean, there are three things you cannot avoid in your life: taxes, death, and Samsung.

The Samsung products that Chinese people are most familiar with may be mobile phones, but in South Korea, the business scope of the Samsung Group covers people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation. From small screws to large cars and buildings, there is no business that the Samsung Group does not intervene in.

Samsung has 68 employees in 23 countries around the world, with annual sales exceeding US$2000 billion, accounting for 21% of South Korea's total GDP. It can be said that it is rich enough to rival a country.

Yonsei University, where she graduated, is one of the three major universities in South Korea, along with Seoul National University and Korea University, and is ranked among the top 100 universities in the world.

After graduating from the children's major, Lee Boo-jin was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for an MBA. After returning at the age of 25, she began working at the Samsung Group.

As the daughter that Lee Kun-hee was proud of since childhood, Lee Boo-jin was not parachuted into Samsung's senior management. Instead, she started as a basic employee and relied on her own experience to become a female elite in the workplace.

At a charity gala in 1995, Lee Boo-jin made her first public appearance as the daughter of Lee Kun-hee. With her exquisite looks, refined temperament and capable conduct, she quickly became the focus of everyone's attention.

If it weren't for a failed marriage, she would have had an almost perfect life.

Although she is nearly fifty years old, she looks like she is only in her early thirties. She is well maintained, especially her elegance and nobility, which gives her a unique charm.

"Hello, Mr. Nanxun, I'm Lee Boo-jin."

Li Fuzhen smiled and raised her hand to Lin Li.

"Hello, President Li, I'm Lin Li."

Lin Li held her hand and responded with a smile.

Both of them communicated in English, and Lee Boo-jin's spoken English was extremely standard, without any Korean English accent at all.

Then, the two of them separated their hands tacitly.

"I have admired Teacher Nanxun for a long time. It is a rare opportunity to meet you here. This is a bottle of red wine from my collection. I want to express my appreciation. Welcome Teacher Nanxun to Shilla Hotel."

"Today's reception is arranged by Director Li, so I won't steal the show. However, I have already arranged for someone to prepare a room for Teacher Nanxun and your company's staff to rest. I hope Teacher Nanxun will not refuse."

Lee Boo-jin's voice is soothing and pleasant to the ears.

"Thank you for your kindness, President Li. I would be very honored to accept your offer."

Lin Li glanced at the familiar Petrus wine label and accepted Li Fuzhen's kindness without any refusal.

People at their level don't need to care about the value of things. If he rejected Lee Boo-jin, it would be tantamount to rejecting her advances, which is totally unnecessary.

Although he had no intention of establishing close ties with this top Korean chaebol, there was no need to reject his kindness.

As for why Lee Boo-jin showed her affection to him, perhaps it was because she was a little curious about his false reputation?

Perhaps Shilla Hotel also wants to take this opportunity to advertise?
Either way, it had no effect on him.

Why not?
"As you should. If you have any questions during your stay, please feel free to raise them. We will do our best to correct them."

Lee Boo-jin was very happy to see Lin Li agreed so readily, and her smile deepened.

"I believe there won't be any problem."

Lin Li responded with a smile.

"It looks like there are still a lot of people waiting for Teacher Nanxun. I'd like to offer a glass of wine to Teacher Nanxun and won't bother you any more."

Lee Boo-jin picked up the Petrus red wine beside her and filled each of the two glasses one-third full. Then she handed one of the glasses to Lin Li and raised her glass to signal.

"Thank you for your hospitality, President Li. Please."

Lin Li raised his glass and clinked it with hers, chuckling.

Then, he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Lee Boo-jin raised the corner of her eye slightly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Lee Boo-jin said goodbye and left.

Except for Lin Li, she didn't look directly at anyone at the party.

But even so, no one will feel dissatisfied. Everyone will just take it for granted and think it is natural and should be so.

Lee Boo-jin came and left quickly, as if she really just came to say hello to Lin Li and have a drink.

After seeing Lee Boo-jin leave, everyone at the party secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The sense of oppression from the eldest princess was too strong, even though her gaze did not rest on any of them except Lin Li.

"Teacher Nanxun, come on, let me toast you!"

At this time, MBC TV deputy director Kim Jong-do once again stepped forward enthusiastically and raised his glass to greet everyone.

As he spoke, the atmosphere became heated again.

When the artists at the scene saw that Lin Li was once again surrounded by the TV station's senior executives and presidents, they had no choice but to continue waiting for their chance in silence, while also taking the opportunity to adjust their mindset.

Seeing Lin Li being surrounded by many important figures whom they would usually bow and greet when they met, and gradually moving to the center of the cocktail party, many people felt a little complicated at this moment.

Jin Zhiyuan knew that this teacher Nan Xun had a very high social status. In any country, such top writers usually had the same status. In addition to factors such as age and appearance, in Southeast Asia, Nan Xun's name was almost known to everyone in their circle.

What's more, Lin Li has been so successful in cross-border operations in the past two years that he has become a banner in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Jin Zhiyuan thought she had thought highly enough of Lin Li, but Li Fuzhen's appearance and attitude made her realize that she still underestimated Lin Li's influence in the top circle.

Inevitably, I felt a little insecure, but more excited.

Wouldn't it be a great sense of accomplishment to spend just one night with a man like this?

Thinking of this, Jin Zhiyuan's eyes became brighter.

On the other hand, Bae Joo-hyun is receiving psychological counseling from her four younger sisters.

She had finally mustered up the courage before Lin Li arrived, but she lost her courage again when Li Fuzhen showed up.

She realized that there was an insurmountable class gap between her and Lin Li.

She is very confident about her appearance, but she also knows that in the eyes of many upper-class people, a good-looking appearance is the easiest thing to get.

Besides, Lin Li himself was a man of outstanding appearance, and she took some time in the afternoon to check out Lin Li's related developments in China, and found that the women involved with him were also outstanding.

There were even a few people who even she found amazing.

The more I think about it, the more inferior I feel.

As an older female idol, it seems that she really shouldn't have too many fantasies.

"Unnie, you can't give up, can you?"

"Our profession is looked down upon by the upper class, and careers are short, so we should plan for the future."

"The key is, after meeting him, can you still tolerate those artists in the industry?"

Kim Ye-rin's words awakened Bae Joo-hyun and she suddenly came back to her senses from her inferiority complex.

Yes, how can you know the result if you don’t try?
Even if I become his transnational lover, it's better than being with those greasy-haired and powdered male artists in China, right?
Thinking of this, Bae Joo-hyun's eyes became firm again.

She suddenly remembered that when she was checking Lin Li's updates in the afternoon, she saw a video of him participating in a variety show.

This teacher Nanxun seems to have a good figure...

Song Yuqi withdrew her gaze from Lin Li and found some dessert to eat.

Although she was surprised by what had just happened, she was more able to accept it than many people present.

She was from Beijing and knew Lin Li’s status in the domestic cultural circle, and she was even more aware of the uniqueness of the National People’s Congress.

Naturally, she could also see the National People's Congress' attitude towards Lin Li through some dynamics.

She watched the entire live broadcast of Renmin University’s anniversary celebration.

Samsung is great, but that’s only in South Korea.

She took in the reactions of many people at the party, then looked at Lin Li who was surrounded in the center, and thought that it would be difficult to have the opportunity to talk to him again today.

Eat in peace.

At the same time, some girl group members and actresses present either received notifications or hints and began to prepare for later activities.

Lin Li was constantly being toasted by a group of TV station executives and presidents of major entertainment companies. Fortunately, he had a good alcohol tolerance, but even so, facing the constant flow of wine, he still felt a little dizzy at the end of the party.

It was not until the end of the banquet that many artists found opportunities to talk to Lin Li.

But Lin Li, who was already half drunk, could no longer remember how many people came. He only vaguely remembered that Jin Zhiyuan, whom he met in the afternoon, seemed to have slipped him a note, and he seemed to have given his private number to the girl named Pei Zhuxuan.

I can't remember the rest.

In a daze, he seemed to hear Director Li and others saying goodbye to him. He forced himself to be alert and greeted them. Then, Gao Wen and Li Jie carried him back to the room amid their strange smiles.

After entering the room, Lin Li waved his hand to let the two leave, then pinched his brows to identify the bedroom in the living room of the suite, and then walked in while taking off his windbreaker.

"These guys are really good at getting drunk!"

While complaining, Lin Li pushed open the bedroom door.

The moment he saw the situation in the room clearly, Lin Li was stunned. He took a step back, glanced back at the living room, and then looked towards the bedroom again.

On the big bed in the bedroom, there were three girls in kimonos, kneeling in a row with their hands on their abdomens, looking at him with shy smiles on their faces.

"お帰りなさい, Mr. Minami."

"Welcome back, Teacher Nanxun."

The greetings were spoken in unison, in Japanese, and then repeated in unfluent Chinese.

"Are you ready?"

After a brief thought, Lin Li understood. His mind instantly became clearer and his eyes gradually became hot.

The three Sakura girls did not answer, but untied their kimonos at the same time, using actions instead of answers.

Seeing this, Lin Li grinned and walked towards them.

It has to be South Korea!

In this case, he will give these three Sakura girls a powerful counterattack today!

Of course, in another way.
