Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 112 No one understands Zhang Yuanying better than me (Please subscribe)

In the end, the older sister didn't budge, which made An An very discouraged. Her conversation with Chen Shijun was also somewhat listless, and she seemed quite angry at Min Zhou for his lack of ambition.

"Yu-jin is a good girl. She has gone to great lengths for her older sister. If I were Starship, I would definitely choose Yu-jin as the captain."

Chen Shijun showered the girl, who was a year older than Yuan Ying, with compliments. He truly admired this energetic and healthy young woman; such a cheerful, enthusiastic, and understanding person would be well-liked anywhere.

"Really? Oppa thinks so?"

Yoo-jin was pleasantly surprised. Chen Shi-jun's praise made her feel quite flattered, and she even had the urge to defect from Big Hit with Xiao Yuan-min-ju. Of course, it was just a thought in her mind.

"Of course, but Yu-jin still needs to work hard. As long as you keep showing your strengths to your fans, you will become a great star in the future."

The man didn't need to think of any sweet words; just a few casual compliments were enough to make the big dog's affection level rise rapidly. However, the thought that Minju unnie was still disobedient made him feel a little disappointed.

“Minju is a great fit for our group and is one of the key members we’re pursuing. If Yujin can help us, oppa will definitely thank you.”

Chen Shijun did not show any difficulty towards Kim Minju as he had last time. On the contrary, he hoped that Yoojin could put in more effort and that it would be better to finalize such matters as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be a real loss if the pressure really broke Kim Min-ju, although Secretary Eun-hye is unlikely to have any psychological burden.

She casually inquired about Kim Minju's mental state, which made Yoojin think he was a kind and considerate person. She wondered what was wrong with this unnie, why she thought oppa was such a cold person.

"Don't worry, oppa, please believe me. I will do my best to persuade unnie to change her mind."

Yoo-jin felt as if she had gained a lot of mission, not only to repay Chen Shi-jun's trust, but also to save Min-joo unnie from her predicament.

This older sister can be quite stubborn at times, which often leads her to make the wrong choices, and sometimes it's necessary to correct her course to some extent.

As for whether Minju's choice was correct, Youzhen really disagrees. After all, to think that Chen Shijun is a person who is gentle on the surface but cold on the inside is really not a good judgment.

Chen Shijun felt something was off. It seemed like they were trying to force Kim Minju into a corner and then make her thank them. Eunhye's scheme was indeed flawless, and An Gougou was eagerly helping her out.

Overjoyed, Mei Yan became completely obedient to him. Chen Shijun activated her inner dependence on the strong, and she no longer dared to make unreasonable demands that she had never dared to think of.

Her delicate appearance naturally pleased Chen Shijun.

"Oppa, please have mercy on me! I feel like I'm going to break, and I have an event tomorrow!"

Compared to Eun-chae's large frame and youthful vigor, Mi-yeon was significantly weaker in terms of physique. Although she had her share of fancy moves, she was ultimately completely overwhelmed by Chen Shijun.

"An event tomorrow? Well, I'm really sorry, but it's your fault for trying to seduce me."

As for the event, it's not that exaggerated. It's perfectly normal for female idols to not be in good condition. No one can be in good condition every time they perform.

Even so, Chen Shijun still let her off the hook. Since this girl had shown such sincerity, he should give her some warmth.

"I don't even want to go back to the dorm. I feel like I'll be laughed at for being like this. I think they're already starting to have doubts."

Even Ye Shuhua, who was closest to her, was a gossip. Who knew what people in the dorm were saying about her after she left? Everyone laughed at her, and she was the funniest one, because she was indeed entangled with an executive from a rival company in a relationship that was hard to describe.

Although they can't be considered rival companies, Cube is still too small. In contrast, Liu Zhimin has a very good attitude and doesn't feel embarrassed at all.

Chen Shijun didn't know why she became more and more concerned about her reputation as she grew up. She tried to liberate her true nature but ended up with nothing to show for it. In the end, she was stuck in a state of being both open and closed-minded.

Listening to this girl talk about what's going on in the dorm, the member named Xu Suizhen was obviously more open, and she basically didn't hide her dates with her boyfriend from her roommates anymore.

This is also related to the recent turmoil in the company, and her behavior has been left unchecked. Just recently, the well-known cosmetics company VT GMP acquired 30.61% of Cube Entertainment for $2.4 million and officially took over its management.

Following this, the original representative was dismissed, and a new company leadership was appointed, ushering in a new round of internal management disputes.

Founder Hong Seung-sung went so far as to reveal the company’s operations directly through his personal SNS, saying that VT GMP’s reckless behavior and actions that even the underworld would not take made him feel desolate.

Like Bang Si-hyuk, this guy came from JYP to go solo, but Hong Kong's peak came earlier. BEAST and 4MINUTE were once glorious groups, and Apink broke various records.

However, in 2014, Hong Shengcheng was diagnosed with ALS. Although he was powerless to manage the company, he still could not relinquish the power in his hands.

Hungpai's CEO, Shin Da-nam, and internal executives began a new round of infighting. BEAST, 4MINUTE, and APink either left or disbanded, and the company, which once seemed poised to become the fourth major trend, embarked on a path of no return.

Subsequent releases like CLC and PENTAGON were lukewarm at best, until the birth of (G)I-DLE finally stopped the decline, but now it has been completely eliminated from the market.

"Back then, it was President Hong who came back and planned our debut. I don't know what will happen in the future. I hope it won't interfere with our group."

Meiyan had no other ideas; she just wanted to live out these next few years peacefully, make the money she was supposed to make, and then the company's fate would be none of her concern.

As long as you have money in hand, you'll have plenty of room to maneuver with Chen Shijun, and you won't be afraid of being completely dumped and having no living expenses for the rest of your life.

"So what if you collapsed? Oppa isn't going to abandon you. Why did you run away in the first place?"

Chen Shijun's words sounded very nice, but Meiyan just smiled. She was probably only suited to situations where she had no other choice; she wasn't a decisive person.

However, he made several great decisions in his life and received excellent rewards without any negative consequences.

"But oppa, what should we do with this notebook? Jang Wonyoung... Wonyoung-neechan, will she be angry?!"

Just before leaving, I suddenly saw the notebooks on the coffee table, and I immediately felt a headache coming on. If it were me, I would also be very unhappy if someone broke my things.

“There’s no major problem. I’ll handle it myself. Yuan Ying is a very sensible and good child. She wouldn’t make a fuss over something so trivial.”

Chen Shijun vigorously applied gold leaf to his sister's face, describing Xiao Yuan as a rare and wonderful girl, while claiming that the online trolls were simply unhappy with their lives.

"You know, no one understands Zhang Yuanying better than me."
