Chapter 564 0552 [You can ride someone else's bike however you want]

Jung Young-seon was clearly a seasoned nightclub enthusiast; he wasn't satisfied with just drinking and chatting. Besides, there were too few people there, and then there was Park Han-byul, who didn't fit in.

When Jung Young-seon went to the restroom, she whispered a few words to her attendants waiting outside the door. Not long after, a whole girl group arrived.

However, they were a girl group invited to participate in a Korean game expo. They hadn't left yet after their performance, and he had recruited one of the girl groups to accompany him for drinks.

Suddenly, the room was filled with more than ten people, four men and ten women.

Chen Guiliang was surrounded by beautiful women on both sides, while Park Han-byul was squeezed to the side. Park Han-byul was happy to be alone and even had time to take out her phone to play.

They were playing a card game with patterns and Korean characters printed on it. Chen Guiliang couldn't understand it at all, but two beautiful women helped him with some tips.

The loser can choose to drink alcohol or take a dare or other punishment.

There were many participants, but only one or two people were punished each round. Chen Guiliang escaped unscathed for several rounds, remaining calm and watching the excitement unfold.

Watching those guys act recklessly under the influence of alcohol, Chen Guiliang felt like he was watching a monkey show.

Moreover, the scale of the game has been getting increasingly out of control. In this round, the punishment for the two losers has become making them kiss for one minute.

The two girl group members just started kissing each other.

"Haha, Jack lost. Drinks or something else?"

"casual."

Jack is Jung Young-seon's English name. When he gets drunk, he insists that everyone call him Jack.

This time, the order came from a member of a girl group. She dared not make things difficult for the young master of the Hyundai Group. With a quick thought, she said, "Punish Jack by making him do the Gangnam Style dance, and with accompaniment!"

Another female star immediately found a backing track on a karaoke app. Jung Young-seon loosened her tie and neck, then crossed her arms and imitated Psy's Gangnam Style dance.

Jung Hyun-min was very perceptive; he immediately stood up to dance along and even invited the other female stars to join in.

A group of people jumped and danced around the room to the rhythm of "Gangnam Style." When Jung Young-seon got really into it, she hugged the female stars on both sides and kissed them on the cheek, deliberately making loud kissing noises.

The two actresses who had been with Chen Guiliang earlier had also gone to dance, leaving only Chen Guiliang and Park Han-byul sitting there playing on their phones.

Chen Guiliang only sent and received a few WeChat messages before putting down his phone to continue watching the excitement, only to see Park Han-byul looking right at him.

Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other.

After the dance ended, everyone returned to their places.

Jung Young-seon was so tired that she lay down halfway, clearly feeling weak.

In the next round, Chen Guiliang finally lost, and he chose to drink as punishment. Korean soju is like water; getting drunk is a long way off.

The two actresses who accompanied him were very considerate. They took the initiative to help share the number of penalty drinks and even drank the same cup with Chen Guiliang in a cheerful manner.

After playing for a while, the atmosphere reached its peak, and Zheng Xuanmin even took off his shirt and hugged a female star, refusing to let go.

Zheng Yingxuan carefully observed the situation and found that Chen Guiliang was not very interested, while Zheng Xuanmin was too excited, so he simply announced the end of the first half of the game.

At Zheng Yingxuan's urging, Zheng Xuanmin took the two girls and left.

"President Chen doesn't like this kind of thing?" Zheng Yingxuan asked.

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "I'm not used to being in a crowd."

"Shall we go to a nightclub where we actually dance and drink?" Jung Young-seon asked.

Chen Guiliang said, "Mr. Zheng likes playing games, right? Let's find a place to team up."

Zheng Yingxuan was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter: "Chairman Chen is so funny. My best friends and I also like to play games after drinking."

They were all unfamiliar with Busan, so Wu Zhenhao was in charge of arranging the e-sports hotel—this lousy thing actually existed back in 2012.

After making the arrangements, Wu Zhenhao led the girl away.

Jung Young-seon left behind a girl who could play video games, while he paid off all the other female stars.

Park Han-byul also tried to slip away, but was glared at fiercely by Jung Young-seon, so she had no choice but to stay and play games with Chen Guiliang.

There were exactly four computers in the room, and two men and two women were sitting there playing games together.

Park Han-byul had absolutely no experience; this was her first time playing "Oracle Era." She and Chen Guiliang both had newly registered accounts and were just randomly playing in a match.

Of the four of them, the one with the best skills was actually Zheng Yingxuan.

This guy was dragged down by his three incompetent teammates, and he no longer cared about Chen Guiliang's status. He was so angry that he started cursing and swearing.

Although Chen Guiliang was terrible at the game, he was full of energy and retorted without hesitation.

They just met today, but they argued like two old friends.

One cursed "shiba," the other cursed "idiot."

Chen Guiliang felt he was at a disadvantage because he knew "Xi Ba" was an insult, but the other person didn't know what "stupid" meant. So he gradually changed it to things like "Fuck" and "Bitch".

After losing the first two games, they finally won the third game—their opponents played even worse than them.

Zheng Yingxuan was finally satisfied and stood up triumphantly: "I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight. That's enough, no more playing around, or everyone will be so angry they won't be able to sleep."

After saying that, he took the female celebrity he was playing with to a hotel room, and gave Park Han-byul a warning look before leaving.

There were only two people left in the room.

Chen Guiliang pulled back the curtains to let in some fresh air, and lit a cigarette while standing by the window. Seeing that Park Han-sung seemed a little uneasy, he chuckled and asked, "So you really didn't want to come? What did he threaten you with?"

Park Han-byul forced a smile: "There was no threat. I did it voluntarily."

Chen Guiliang looked down at the night view of Busan: "Don't worry, this is the first time I've met him. If you want to leave, you can leave now, I won't tell him."

Perhaps because Chen Guiliang is not Korean and is China's richest man, Park Han-byul believed him: "He sent someone to find my father. I don't know how he threatened him, but my father called me crying and asked me to come and drink with him."

Chen Guiliang asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Park Han-byul said, "Yes, he's a singer and he's currently serving in the military."

This girl is totally love-struck. Her boyfriend cheated on her multiple times, but she could easily appease him and he wouldn't make a fuss. Just recently, her boyfriend (who is serving in the military) was photographed going to a prostitute, and she actually defended him the whole time.

Chen Guiliang said, "I heard from Wu Zhenhao that your boyfriend was photographed by reporters soliciting prostitutes?"

Park Han-byul said, "He was framed, or he may have been unable to hold back because he had been serving in the military for too long."

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "It's good to be simple; there are fewer worries."

Park Han-byul lowered her head and stopped talking. She wasn't stupid; she had just been deceiving herself time and time again. Her boyfriend's soliciting prostitutes had become a national scandal, and she couldn't keep up the lie any longer. She planned to break up with him after his military service ended.

After finishing his cigarette, Chen Guiliang went straight to the bathroom: "I've had quite a bit to drink, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. You can leave anytime, just make sure the door is closed when you leave." Park Han-byul stood there motionless, seemingly lost in thought.

Perhaps it was because Chen Guiliang was young and handsome that she didn't find him repulsive.

It's also possible that her boyfriend has been serving in the military for almost a year, and she's been waiting silently, which has made her feel quite lonely.

It's also possible that she was afraid that if she left, Zheng Yingxuan would retaliate against her father later.

Park Han-byul, as if possessed, took off her clothes, walked towards the noisy bathroom, and opened the glass door without a word.

……

Chen Guiliang didn't wake up until mid-morning, and was awakened by the sound of someone getting dressed.

Chen Guiliang also sat up and looked for clothes to wear.

"You're awake?" Park Han-byul was startled, and her face flushed red, probably because she thought of something.

Chen Guiliang smiled at her.

Last night was pretty crazy.

Since it's someone else's car, there's no need to be so careful with it, so Chen Guiliang pedaled quite hard.

Park Han-byul got dressed and left, but turned back at the door and asked, "Do you really have a film and television company in China?"

Chen Guiliang didn't answer immediately, but thought to himself: This girl won't cling to me, will she? I shouldn't complicate things over with what was supposed to be a one-night stand.

"Are you really planning to develop your career in China?" Chen Guiliang asked.

Park Han-byul said, "Because I didn't immediately cut ties with my boyfriend and even spoke well of him, I'm now finding it difficult to get acting roles in Korea."

Even without Chen Guiliang, Park Han-byul would still go to China to develop her career next year, mainly due to the impact of her boyfriend's prostitution scandal.

Moreover, her first film in China was "Bunshinsaba 2," in which she starred—the South Korean director who made "Bunshinsaba" opened a studio in China.

Seeing that Chen Guiliang remained silent, Park Han-byul lowered her head and said, "I was just asking casually." She suddenly looked up and smiled, "I was very happy last night, not forced. Goodbye!"

"Wait a minute," Chen Guiliang called out.

Park Han-byul, who had already grabbed the doorknob, stopped and turned around: "Is there anything else?"

Chen Guiliang said, "If you want to develop your career in China, you can go to Beijing and find ByteDance Pictures. Just say you are an actor I arranged. I will put in a good word for you."

“ByteDance Pictures…” Park Han-byul repeated the English name of ByteDance Pictures twice, then smiled and said, “I’ve got it. Goodbye!”

Chen Guiliang is truly a heartless person who abandons his friends after he's done his bidding. To this day, he refuses to give out a business card with his contact information, only telling the other party that they can report to ByteDance Pictures anytime.

I don't want to get involved.

If Chen Guiliang ever has a change of heart, he can go to ByteDance Pictures to catch up with Park Han-byul.

However, this kind of reminiscing is a one-sided connection.

It could only be Chen Guiliang who contacted her, not the other way around.

The door was closed, leaving only Chen Guiliang inside.

He recalled how enjoyable last night was; this girl not only had a pure and beautiful face, but also a fantastic figure. And she was so radiant!

Chen Guiliang got dressed, went downstairs to eat, and then went to communicate with representatives from game companies around the world.

In particular, there was another event in the afternoon where he and Blizzard Vice President Michael, as representatives of major overseas game companies, were interviewed by South Korean game media. The main topic was the thoughts and expectations of major overseas companies regarding the South Korean market.

Michael and Chen Guiliang are old acquaintances; they often interact at the ChinaJoy expo.

After the event, Michael privately told Chen Guiliang, "You shouldn't have given away so much profit. Koreans' appetites are never satisfied. We non-Korean game companies should unite and negotiate with the Koreans."

"We can talk about it later. Game Center is not as big and powerful as Blizzard. We have no say in the Korean market," Chen Guiliang said.

Michael said, "You'll regret it. The Koreans won't be satisfied with the status quo."

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "I've already given away all the e-sports revenue from 'Oracle Era,' so how could they possibly ask for any in-game profits?"

Michael was speechless for a moment.

Chen Guiliang left the game expo and took a car to the airport to return to China.

He received a call from Zheng Yingxuan halfway through the journey: "Mr. Chen, how was your time last night?"

"I had a lot of fun," Chen Guiliang said.

Zheng Yingxuan laughed and said, "Haha, I'm going to China next year too. You'll have to show me your hospitality then."

Chen Guiliang said, "I don't have much experience with these things, but I'll introduce a friend to you."

Taking people out to have fun is Zhang Chaoyang's specialty, while Chen Guiliang is not one to act as a pimp.

Moreover, Zhang Chaoyang will have to thank us later, since we introduced him to the son of the chairman of the Hyundai Group. He's an only child; Zheng Yingxuan only has two older sisters.

……

Park Han-byul flew back to Seoul and immediately called director Ahn Bin-ki upon landing: "Director Ahn, this is Park Han-byul."

"Ah, Ms. Park, hello." Ahn Bin-ki had just secured investment from China Film Group.

Park Han-byul said, "I heard that Director Ahn opened a one-man agency in China."

Ahn Bin-ki said, "I did set up a director's studio. We just finished filming the Chinese version of 'Bunshinsaba,' which sold quite well, and we're about to film 'Bunshinsaba 2.' Ms. Park, would you like to act in this movie? I can let you play the lead role."

"Won't the investors have any objections?" Park Han-byul asked.

Ahn Bin-ki said smugly, “Ms. Park may not know that Korean actors are very popular in China. And you are quite famous in China. If you can star in ‘Bunshinsaba 2,’ it will definitely bring more attention to the movie.”

Park Han-byul asked, "Do you know Mr. Chen Guiliang?"

An Binji spelled out the Korean pronunciation: "You mean Chen Guiliang, the richest man in China?"

"Yes, that's him. He's the young master of some big Chinese conglomerate, right? Is he married?" Park Han-byul asked.

Ahn Bin-ki laughed heartily: "China is different from South Korea. Mr. Chen Guiliang's father was just an ordinary farmer. His current business was all built up through his own hard work. He is a very capable man; there have been reports about him all over China this year."

Park Han-byul said, "Thank you."

Ahn Bin-ki asked, "Ms. Park, would you be willing to star in 'Bunshinsaba 2'?"

Park Han-byul said, "I'll think about it some more."
