Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 129 How could there be such a stupid woman? (Part 2, please subscribe)
Chen Shijun taught her to be wary of everyone, and that was absolutely true. There were some things that Zhimin would only listen to if he said them.

However, Yuan Ying's phone call temporarily shifted his attention away from his younger sister, who had recently been quite pleasing to him. She would often send him photos of herself studying diligently.

This situation made him feel relieved from the bottom of his heart; his younger sister had finally become sensible, and he would definitely give her the greatest help in her studies in the future.

Just like Zhenying, after that girl was admitted to Ewha Womans University, she received a huge reward from Chen Shijun. She had plenty of food, clothing and other necessities. The girl even jokingly said that she had no way to repay him in the future but to offer herself to him.

These words naturally made Yuan Ying furious, and what angered her even more was that her family had made similar jokes before, which made her even more sensitive.

However, Jung Eun-chae really hit Won-young's nail on the head. Her words, "She acts recklessly because she is favored, which is very annoying," completely stripped away all her pretense, making her feel ashamed.

To some extent, it also served as a wake-up call for her, making her realize that she did have many shortcomings in the past, and if she continued down the wrong path, she might really wear down the relationship she had built up.

So she tries her best to hide all her jealousy in front of Chen Shijun, but she is also the kind of person who gets jealous very easily. If she doesn't explode under these circumstances, then she can only choose to evolve.

At this point, she tries to show her empathetic side. Although she doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, she will occasionally light one for Chen Shijun and tell him to smoke less and take care of his health.

As for demeanor, he wanted to learn the poise and grace of Eun-chae, but Chen Shijun felt that this was an extension of inner cultivation, which could not be learned overnight. He was afraid that forcibly imitating her would only result in a ridiculous imitation.

However, Xiaoyuan's cleverness lies in her high level of comprehension. Although she is smaller than the snake, she can always make progress by being taught a lesson in the smallest details, and each improvement is significant.

For example, she believes that getting along with Chen Shijun requires creating a sense of "comfort" and avoiding exhausting arguments. She also believes that it is foolish for any woman to excessively demand space.

A strong person is one who can suppress their emotions and desires. She will definitely be a strong person in the future, and the first thing she needs to do is to enrich herself through learning.

To cultivate a sustainable and attractive woman, one must cultivate inner inclusiveness and outward charisma. While entertaining fans with one's looks is enough, one must earn trust and value in life.

"Is it Yuanying's birthday? Are you celebrating with them?"

Hearing Xiaoyuan's invitation, Chen Shijun frowned. He knew that this kind of party didn't count for his sister's sake; she would need to add a separate party or a party with family later.

"And Ahn Yu-jin too! She's here to join in the fun. Her eyes lit up when she heard you were here too. Oppa, how come you attract so many admirers?"

Although he said that, he knew in his heart that being young, rich, and handsome was a winning combination, not to mention his high level of education.

It's normal for Ahn Yoo-jin to admire Chen Shi-jun because she only attended high school for a few months before dropping out. She said she likes men with high intelligence the most, which is quite shameless.

But idolizing Chen Shijun isn't illegal! Even from my own perspective, I can't stop Ahn Yoo-jin from idolizing anyone, so in the end I can only grumble in frustration.

"Youzhen is just joking. How much older could she be than you? But it's really fate that your birthdays are only one day apart."

The bond between the two towers is truly genuine; at least for now, their relationship is still very good. Hopefully, it won't end badly due to conflicting interests, which would be such a pity.

I've seen some photos of the two of them, and they always look so beautiful. I hope they can support each other and continue the legend of the Twin Towers in the new group.

An Gougou hasn't sent him an invitation yet, but since Xiao Yuan has brought it up, and given how dedicated the undercover agent has always been, Chen Shijun feels it's necessary to go.

"Alright, I'll definitely go then, but you guys need to be mindful of the impact."

Chen Shijun didn't want to see any messy news, but the privacy in the Jiaping villa area was quite good, which was probably why girls preferred this place.

"I know, I know, but Minju unnie seemed really afraid of you last time! I don't understand why she would think that way, oppa has such a good personality."

Not to mention she didn't understand, An'an was also a little confused. In the dog's mind, Chen Shijun's image had been portrayed as perfect, a perfect interpretation of a young elite, making all those actors look weak.

Especially when he wears a suit or trench coat, his upright posture is just like those prosecutors in TV dramas, he looks just like them.

"Kim Minju? Maybe she doesn't know me, but that doesn't matter. She's just part of our future girl group plan."

Chen Shijun didn't really take her seriously. It was just that several members of the company's uniform team unanimously agreed that she was the "Big Name" that Team S needed, who could enhance the team's competitiveness.

However, Chen Shijun was quite surprised when Xiaoyuan said that the girl was afraid of him. Generally speaking, even if he was not as warm as a spring breeze, he would not be so frightening to a girl.

"I don't know, I also find it strange. When she comes in front of you, I always feel like you're going to devour her aura. It's a very strange feeling."

Like a small animal encountering its natural enemy, she had an indescribable feeling, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Chen Shijun's answer also satisfied her.

She's just an ordinary employee. It's a good thing that the unnie is afraid. It would be inappropriate if she were like Kim Chae-won, constantly saying she wanted to be his sister-in-law.

Many people in the group have complained, but Kim Chae-won and Ahn Yu-jin have complained the most. However, Ahn Yu-jin is safe for the time being.

At present, the one who seems unsafe is Kim Chae-won. I don't know what kind of hype they've given Chen Shijun, insisting that this unnie is one of the best idols in the group and the core of that S team project.

If she knew that Chen Shijun admired her, she would be overjoyed, especially with that increasingly obvious aura she exudes now—a charm that is both alluring and innocent, yet adorable, that has improved by leaps and bounds.

On Yuan Ying's list of must-kill items, Sister Caiyuan is ranked near the top, but at this time, she didn't say anything, just kept a close eye on her.

"I'm not that scary, but it's nothing. It's just my personal opinion. I'm not like King Sejong who can be liked by everyone."

Xiao Yuan's gift was naturally exceptional, but Ahn Yoo-jin couldn't be left out either. That girl had always been at his beck and call, and she had made a great contribution to Kim Min-ju's matter as well.

Chen Shijun had been a leader for quite some time and knew the necessity of rewarding merits and punishing demerits; he couldn't dampen people's enthusiasm.

However, although Chen Shijun said that, it was just a humble way of putting it, and most people liked it because his aura was indeed very dazzling.

As one NBA commentator once said, everyone tells him that the GOAT Jordan is handsome, but he thinks, "Handsome my foot! If you have 3 or 4 or 5 million US dollars, how can you not be handsome?"
The difference is that Chen Shijun is indeed very handsome. At least Xiaoyuan said that several of the group's "face-obsessed" members have confirmed it, especially since he aroused An Youzhen's lustful desires.

"It would be best if they didn't like it, it would be best if none of them liked it."

Xiao Yuan muttered to herself with a chuckle, while Chen Shijun was speechless. How bad must someone be if nobody likes them?

However, several girls from this group will become members of Team S. This soon-to-disband group has also provided abundant resources for the debut of the new group. It really feels like a whale falling and all things are born.

"The competition in the girl group market will be fierce then, and these people might even become Xiaoyuan's rivals!"

Not only will she be Xiaoyuan's rival, but she will also become Jimin's rival. I don't know if Miyeon can be considered a rival. So, will the future girl group battleground be between their respective groups (Team S and Team N) and their ex-girlfriends, lovers, and sisters?

"Oppa, what are you saying? Our Starship can't possibly beat your big corporation!"

Xiao Yuan was amused by Chen Shijun and began to recount the recent changes that had taken place within Starship, including some of the trainees who had debuted with her.

"So what if it's a big company? Big companies don't have trainees as good as Xiaoyuan."

Members like Twin Towers, who are young and popular, are the perfect cornerstones for building a team. Starship must have been incredibly lucky in their past life.

"That's true. Look at SM Entertainment, the members who are about to debut are so capable of causing trouble. It's truly an eye-opener!"

Xiao Yuan's silvery laughter made Chen Shijun feel a little awkward. The feeling of being caught in the middle of this drama was quite subtle, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Oppa, did you see it? How could there be such a stupid woman? She actually revealed her debut details to someone else."

Unaware that this foolish woman had stolen her oppa, Yuan Ying would never have been laughing. Chen Shijun chuckled along, everyone laughing at the little snake, yet the little snake was also disappointing. "Young people, to err is human. I don't think it's necessary to condemn her outright. We should give her a chance to reform. More tolerance is always a good thing."

Chen Shijun ultimately couldn't bear to see Zhimin being ridiculed, so he said a few meaningless words to defend her, after all, she had recently been the object of his affection.

"And Yuan Ying! Everyone makes mistakes. We shouldn't criticize others too much for their mistakes, but rather learn from them and do our best to improve ourselves."

These kinds of words are like those of an old pedant in school, making people drowsy. Even if it was her own oppa saying them, Wonyoung couldn't muster any enthusiasm, let alone take them to heart.

"That's strange. Why is oppa speaking up for someone else's idol? Could it be because he thinks she's pretty?"

The man on the other end of the phone blushed instantly. He couldn't very well say that they had already been intimate many times, or Xiaoyuan would be furious. But women's intuition was just too sharp.

"She has no manners and is such an annoying girl. She is indeed very pretty."

He had no choice but to forcefully suppress the topic, while also speaking up for the little snake. However, Yuan Ying immediately became unconvinced, wondering how someone could speak ill of another in front of him.

"What's so good-looking about her? She looks like a snake spirit, and she doesn't look like a good person at all!"

Yuan Ying felt that this was the epitome of "appearance reflects the heart." A woman who looked like a snake or scorpion must also have a snake or scorpion's heart. Her narrow, upturned eyes with the whites of her eyes looked full of scheming and hostility.

"And his appearance triggers my uncanny valley effect. He looks like a villain. Oppa, can't you have normal tastes?"

The other character had a high-quality modeled face, but in Madoka's case, it became a humanoid but not humanoid object, which is really going too far.

"Don't say that. Your face is a gift from your parents. That's very impolite."

Ji-min was labeled arrogant for criticizing her seniors' scandals, and her snake-like appearance perfectly matched the public's imagination of a villain, which was unavoidable.

Even if the company clarifies that the rumors are untrue, the initial impression in the public eye is still tied to appearance, which is enough to create a cognitive bias that appearance equals personality.

But I know she can also pull off a gentle style. When she doesn't wear makeup, she has a youthful look, which makes her truly cute and versatile.

"Then compare yourself to me! Compare who's prettier, me or her."

Even though she knows she can't be jealous of everything, she suddenly wants the other person to admit that she's better. This competitive spirit is normal in a little girl's heart.

"Of course you're prettier. You're the nation's center, the true core of IZ*ONE. What does she have to compare with you?"

Chen Shijun naturally knew what she wanted to hear. The answer would be the same no matter how many times she asked. After all, there are many little babies, but only one little sister.

No, there's another one. Jin-young is sometimes too sensible and not the clingy type of girl, so Se-joon's presence isn't always very strong.

"That's more like it! I knew it was impossible for them to compare to me. They absolutely mustn't try to seduce my teammates!"

At this moment, Won-young was most worried about Kim Min-ju. If that unnie, whose bullying material could be made into an hour-long highlight reel, fell into Chen Shi-jun's hands, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Aren't you here too? What are you worried about? Maybe I shouldn't go."

Chen Shijun pretended to be angry, which shut Yuan Ying up. He thought about it and realized that it made sense.

In front of me, what can An Youzhen and Jin Caiyuan possibly do to cause trouble? Watch how I form an iron wall and keep all these women with ulterior motives at a safe distance.

Chen Shijun still found it funny after hanging up the phone. Yuan Ying's mouth was really too venomous. Although, judging from her appearance, Zhi Min, that little wench, didn't seem like a good person.

However, in my opinion, young people should be open-minded and inclusive, and accept the diverse charm of the new generation of girls.

Although East Asian traditional aesthetics favor a round face and almond-shaped eyes as a sign of good fortune, I personally really like the sharp look of a pointed chin and thin lips.

However, the little snake has petal-shaped lips, which appear somewhat sharp when it is still. When it is most passionate, it likes to come up and kiss it repeatedly.

Chen Shijun has maintained contact with this girl. Zhimin said that everything is under his control. The company has not given any direct answer, but it has not stopped the debut process.

In this way, the attitude is almost clear: Little Snake is waiting for her debut day and deeply regrets that she cannot become Chen Shijun's private pet for the time being.

This put his mind at ease, since a woman like Xiao She should have something to do, otherwise she would be very clingy.

Chen Shijun doesn't really like clingy girls, but if the other person doesn't have a job and focuses all their attention on pleasing him, it can feel like a burden.

Make a call and ask the villa in Jiaping to tidy up. Since I promised to attend the Twin Towers' birthday party, I naturally won't go back on my word.

Yu-jin was very shy, and kept asking if she would disturb Chen Shi-jun's work schedule, which was quite different from her usual sunny and cheerful demeanor.

……

"What are you laughing at, little girl? What's wrong? You seem so happy, can't you share it with me?"

Because the dormitory beds are bunk beds, whenever the big dog on the top bunk laughs so hard, Kim Min-ju on the bottom bunk can feel the bed shaking.

"It's nothing, a friend said they wanted to give me a birthday present, and I'm happy about it."

Yoojin quickly said that nothing was wrong. She felt that her roommate was making a last-ditch effort to save Minju's career.

She was a meritorious contributor, but the older sister was unaware of her silent contributions and had no intention of revealing them, preferring to keep her achievements hidden.

The more I think about it, the more I feel it's great. I don't feel any guilt about bullying my sister anymore. I hope Minju can continue her brilliant career at Source Music.

"Oh right! Your birthday is coming soon, and I need to buy you and Xiaoyuan presents."

One is her best friend's younger sister, and the other is Chen Shijun's younger sister. She can't be stingy with her gifts, but they can't be too expensive either, making things difficult for the other group members.

He was already thinking it over in his mind, after all, the other company had sent Chen Shijun, a senior executive, and had agreed to some conditions.

In the future, this gentleman's agreement will most likely still be based on Chen Shijun. Although we are somewhat afraid of Director Chen, we must still maintain a good relationship with him.

I've been having more contact with Yuan Ying lately, and everything is going in the right direction. But I'm probably too anxious, because I'm having some strange dreams.

She dreamt that she had become a shameless woman, while Chen Shijun, beneath his refined exterior, was filled with primal beastly desires, and soon revealed his true nature to her.

"Don't bully me! I'll be obedient, I'll listen to Director Chen in everything!"

Minju felt that he couldn't possibly say such a thing. Sure enough, it was just a dream. But he also felt anxious about joining Source Music, like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

However, in the part of the project that he revealed to himself, the new group also prepared other IZ*ONE members, but it is unknown who they are.

She hoped it was Huiyuan, that girl. Although there was some overlap with her own personality, if there was another beautiful but useless girl, the pressure on her would be much less.

Minju silently thought to herself, "I hope it won't be one of those 'stubborn' characters like Kim Chae-won or Miyawaki Sakura. Otherwise, I'll have a really tough time."
