Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 24 I'll show oppa how ugly you look.

I bought some Christmas gifts. Yuan Ying's family is celebrating my birthday, but since Christmas is the same day, I can't go empty-handed. After all, this girl is very generous to me.

However, the first phase of poaching from his former employer was coming to an end. His former assistant had already completed the handover of his work at Dunamu at lightning speed, and the only remaining step in the process of joining Big Hit was the contract, thanks to Chen Shijun's efforts.

Now, he has become familiar with the business at the new company and is quite adept at administrative tasks that do not involve technology, so he quickly settled into his role.

Female assistants have always faced a lot of criticism in the workplace, and now that they've run away with their former boss, it only confirms the speculation. But since the situation is already settled, it doesn't really matter how much more they do.

"We've been optimizing our staff lately, and the new recruits are all monster rookies. If you don't bail me out, I'll probably have to find a new job."

Secretary Li even said she was planning to take the compensation money on a trip, but Director Chen didn't forget their old friendship, it seems that her work attitude impressed her former boss.

"That's just how companies are; there's nothing we can do about it. Look at me, I've already been sent out into the workforce, haven't I?"

I heard that a large company in China regularly supplies outstanding talents around 35 years old to the market every year, making a huge contribution to the cultivation of outstanding talents in the market. However, the layoffs of South Korean capitalism are even more ruthless.

However, even if this woman is laid off, the compensation is enough for her to live comfortably for a while, which is significantly more than what an average worker would receive.

"If I had as much money as Director Chen, I would have quit my job long ago. If I don't spend it now, I'll never run out of money."

The female secretary saw Chen Shijun lying on his side in the boss's chair and reached out her long, slender fingers to massage his shoulders, but as soon as she touched him, she felt pain coming from his long, slender thighs, which were covered by dress pants.

"Don't act on your own initiative when working."

He reached out and pinched her leg, making Miss Eunhye clutch her leg and wince. He didn't actually use much force, but it still made her instantly obedient.

Chen Shijun was certainly not a kind-hearted man or woman. Given the special nature of his position as a female secretary, which involved considerable contact, he naturally didn't hold back after leaving behind some incriminating evidence to ensure his safety.

She wasn't treated badly after she left, but she didn't have the ability to survive in Danmu, so she naturally looked down on this "talent" who had risen from the ranks of a former senior executive.

"The council member is right, I was wrong."

Secretary Li also observed Chen Shijun's actions after leaving Dunamu. Despite his seemingly aloof demeanor, he had made excellent plans for almost all his trusted confidants, which can be described as extremely dignified.

If she can't do it, it's her own problem and has nothing to do with Director Chen. In the end, she can still make a profit, which is enough for her to have done her a favor.

After leaving the company, Chen Shijun did not want to normalize the relationship, but it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After taking the shortcut, he could be said to have fallen into the trap of path dependence.

Even after obtaining the relevant rank and benefits, they were still regarded as appendages of Chen Shijun's power, and many wanted to kick them while they were down after their patron left.

Fortunately, Secretary Li was very clear-headed. After all, she was a female college graduate from a prestigious university and knew exactly where her success in the workplace came from, unlike some clueless women who clamored about patriarchal oppression.

If someone with a bit of good looks were to be with Chen Shijun, it wouldn't bother them at all, but if someone who's ugly and unattractive were to covet him, it would be rather disgusting.

"New clothes are worse than old ones, and old friends are worse than new ones. I've brought you here this time, so I hope you can help me with my worries as before."

Chen Shijun smiled and encouraged him, saying that the conservative family atmosphere might have made him resistant to change in some ways, or it might simply be that he found it easy to use.

……

Xiaoyuan's home is in Longshan. Both of her daughters came home today, and although they don't believe in any religion, the house is still full of Christmas decorations. "Yuanying, haven't you had any activities lately? Has that incident had such a big impact?"

The older sister, Zhenying, looks much more mature than Xiaoyuan. Having just become a university student, her facial features are very similar to her younger sister's, but overall they give people a completely different feeling.

In Chen Shijun's words, he has a kind of dullness that is not in line with his age, and sometimes even a kind of benevolent feeling.

Inheriting the family's tall genes, she had already surpassed 170cm in height during high school. Although she stopped growing later, it was still more than enough. It seems that Xiaoyuan will soon surpass her older sister.

"Hey! We got caught red-handed. Our company's vice president still hasn't been released. That boy group that just debuted will probably be disbanded soon."

As the junior group in the talent show series, Starship doesn't have top talents like Won Young and Yoo Jin this time, but they still want to replicate the success of Twin Towers, so they spent some money.

Now, as the target of public criticism, this boy band is facing a disbandment crisis just a few months after its debut, and the group itself is also being heavily criticized.

The promotional activities for the new album, which were originally poised to launch, had to be brought to an abrupt halt. The fabrication incident was like a huge storm, affecting not only the comeback fan meeting but also many pre-recorded variety shows, which faced the risk of not being able to air.

The initial anticipation turned into a long wait, and an anxiety called uncertainty spread among all members, especially among the older ones who were particularly fearful and uneasy.

What followed was an even more dangerous crisis of trust in the industry. Advertisers and TV stations adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards IZ*ONE's commercial value, some cooperative projects were suspended, and the group officially entered a period of hiatus.

There were many voices expressing their grievances for the two eliminated contestants, Han Cho-won and Lee Ga-eun, and the two Kims and one Cho, whose rankings fluctuated abnormally, were subjected to overwhelming attacks.

Lee Ga-eun is now working as a YouTuber, and Han Cho-won's career with Cube Entertainment is not going well. It has to be said that the suffering of these direct victims is more likely to anger ordinary people.

The infamous reputation of "stealing other people's lives" resonated with countless people, and was further fueled by fans from other groups who loved to stir up trouble, even launching a petition demanding the disbandment of the group.

While Xiaoyuan fared slightly better, she still faced considerable criticism. Many fans of the lower bunk believed that her center position might have been raised, as the original center position should have belonged to the lower bunk Miyawaki Sakura, but she was unable to take the center position due to her Japanese nationality.

Even at this point, the fact that they're still tearing each other apart is quite frustrating. Now everyone's lying on the floor, and who knows when it'll end.

However, my bunkmate has been very respectful to me lately, which is understandable since you have to be careful in everything you do in a foreign country, especially after she found out that she has a high-ranking oppa in the industry.

Xiaoyuan was packing her things, waiting for Chen Shijun to arrive for the family dinner. She had even put on beautiful makeup today, which made her older sister laugh and admire her.

“I’m an idol now. You know, a lot of people criticize me for not having an idol image. I’m going to be a perfect idol from now on, you know what I mean.”

He put on a serious face, and his fake smile made Zhenying burst out laughing. She quickly touched her head and messed up her hairstyle.

"Don't do this! What if oppa sees this? How could you be so mean!"

For Chen Shijun, an oppa with close family ties, it's quite amazing to see the young man who used to share meals with his family suddenly rise to prominence in the past few years.

"I'm going to let oppa see your ugly side, hehe!"

The older sister's mischievous behavior made Xiao Yuan scream and angrily denounce her malicious intentions. The two little beauties wrestling together was quite a sight to behold.
