Chapter 160 Should We Be Kinder to Her? (Please Subscribe)
"I only spend money on you because I like Zhimin, so how can you say that Zhimin is a gold digger?"

Chen Shijun didn't think there was anything wrong with liking him and giving him gifts. After all, women who are pure and detached from worldly desires are extremely rare in this society, and even if he met one, he would feel that there might be something wrong with her psychologically.

In his view, if one party has the financial means and is willing to give gifts within a reasonable range, and the other party gladly accepts them and reciprocates with emotional value in other ways such as emotional support, this is a perfectly healthy interaction pattern.

Demanding that girls must be pure, abstinent, and free from vanity to be considered virtuous and noble is essentially a suppression of normal desires.

Just like how he likes young and beautiful girls, sometimes mutual understanding is the key. Chen Shijun has never seen a person who is as pure and simple as a chrysanthemum, only a person who is as pure and simple as a chrysanthemum in disguise.

Therefore, a girl should not be unilaterally belittled simply because she accepts her partner's material contributions. Besides, who doesn't like a more comfortable quality of life and exquisite items?

"Jimin probably enjoys the emotional satisfaction of being remembered, cherished, and understood. Oppa is right, isn't he?"

Opening the small box in front of him, a set of beautiful diamond jewelry shimmered with captivating light. He gently picked it up and compared it to the snake's chest, and its aura instantly became both dangerous and alluring.

Chen Shijun didn't know what girls liked most, but generally girls wouldn't dislike jewelry, bags, or luxury watches; at the very least, they'd like cosmetics or perfumes.

Zhimin even pulled the slit in her chest even wider, and when she smiled, she was more beautiful than a flower, making even the seasoned Chen Shijun's heart flutter.

Although this snake-like appearance is not accepted by everyone, it is definitely a plus in the eyes of Chen Shijun, who has a good appreciation for beauty.

"Oppa, you really are a graduate of Seoul National University. You're absolutely right. That's exactly what I was thinking."

The little snake felt that this man understood her perfectly; he was indeed a partner sent from heaven, able to guess what she was thinking.

"After all, to oppa, you've never been KARINA, you've only ever been oppa's Jimin."

I know this girl is quite nervous. Yuan Ying was just as nervous when she debuted, and she also encountered some controversy.

However, compared to this girl, this one has caused a bigger mess. Chen Shijun is afraid that there will be anti-fans using trucks to protest. Although this girl is carefree, if she affects her teammates, it will make the relationship within the team more tense.

"Why don't you just spend some money to find some trucks to support me? If one truck is criticizing me, oppa can find ten trucks to support me."

The little snake's suggestion was very constructive, and Chen Shijun couldn't help but nod. He stroked the girl's soft hair and said that she didn't need everyone to like her; she just needed to be true to herself.

The trainee system is like a meat grinder, crushing countless youths. Becoming a top star often requires hard work and dedication. Some people cannot bear the weight of becoming a top star, but Chen Shijun has some expectations for his girl.

I hope she can make him proud like Xiaoyuan. This isn't about praising my sister, but about how that girl became the nation's center at the age of 14 and withstood all the attacks during that period.

Although his sister said that she was his pillar and strength against malice, Chen Shijun also knew that the support he provided was insignificant, and in the end, she still had to consume it all herself.

“Oppa will find you 100 trucks, all supporting the most dazzling KARINA, and surround those haters’ trucks in the middle.”

Idols and entertainment companies often engage in a power struggle over idols. Although they often fail to achieve what fans want, they can, to some extent, influence the company's strategies.

Jimin's debut was clearly met with resistance. Although various fan sites have been strictly controlled, the spontaneous boycott could not be stopped.

There have been quite a few posts saying that they will protest when she debuts, and some even say they will make Jimin taste rotten eggs, although most of them are probably just talking.

"Oppa is right, they're all a bunch of rabble. The company is using me for publicity. Why are they doing this to me?" It has to be said that this girl has already generated a lot of buzz, with all sorts of whitewashing articles sparking widespread discussion online, and Chen Shijun has noticed quite a few of them.

The company has always maintained a certain rhythm: SM Entertainment has a long tradition of using controversy to generate buzz. Although they initially receive a lot of criticism, they always end up becoming surprisingly popular.

"Of course! You call me the most talented female idol! Do you think you can find another one like me in the industry right now?"

The little snake puffed out its chest, its face full of pride. Indeed, in certain areas, its advantages were very obvious.

Nowadays, idols debut relatively early. For her, debuting at 20 is already considered quite late. Before debuting, they have to go through a period of trainee life.

Often during the developmental period, people need to control their diet to maintain their figure, which can lead to unsatisfactory nutritional results due to nutritional deficiencies.

“You’re right, but Kwon Eun-bi…”

Chen Shijun reached out and felt the talent that was visible to the naked eye, while also calculating in his mind whose talent was truly of historical level.

Ultimately, I felt that Aiwan's eldest sister might be better, but Zhimin is 5 years younger and may have more room to grow.

Even he himself felt it was a pity that the captain didn't go for the sexy route, but having promised and received the price the other party paid, Chen Shijun felt it was his responsibility to help her out.

Sometimes I can understand her. Ten years of persistence has made it impossible for her to get over that hurdle in her heart. This woman always thinks about dignity and is even willing to do anything for it.

"What Kwon Eunbi? Oppa wouldn't stoop so low as to make a move on his sister's teammate, would he? Could it be that Jang Won-young introduced her?"

As a K-pop expert who surfs intensely, Little Snake naturally knew about his opponent, but he didn't take it to heart. Little Snake was full of confidence and would not lose to anyone.

"How could that be! I was just saying. Our company wants to sign her, that's why we've had some contact."

When the transfer news breaks, who knows how Yuan Ying will keep asking questions until he gets to the bottom of it? I need to come up with an excuse beforehand.

However, despite having the same static talent, Eunbi and this little snake are completely different in style. As the eldest sister and leader of the same group, Eunbi is obviously much smarter.

Perhaps it was because she was a few years older, or perhaps it was the hardships she endured in her early years that shaped her character. Working in places like coffee shops and convenience stores, she developed a foundation in judging people and dealing with people early on.

Zhimin is different. Although her parents have some reservations about her choosing to pursue an idol career, her poor grades mean she doesn't have many other options, so they generally support her.

She entered SM Entertainment, one of the traditional "Big Three" entertainment companies, and was trained as a promising trainee. Her success was far beyond what Eunbi could achieve.

Honestly, it was still a bit strange. Chen Shijun felt that he was somewhat morbid. In their conversations, he deliberately destroyed the other person's barely maintained dignity, under the guise of taking shortcuts and not being allowed to be a saint.

But when I pulled up my pants and saw the other person's humiliated expression, I suddenly felt a pang of sympathy. Looking back on this period of time, I realized that he just wanted to save face.

"Should I be nicer to this woman next time I see her? Why do I always have this thought?"

Chen Shijun shook his head. He didn't understand why he always had to completely conquer a woman's last bit of resistance. Perhaps it was because he, as a young man, was too intolerant. Could Xiao Yuan's narrow-mindedness be something she learned from him?
