Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 305 is generally a good person.
"What Shijun said seems to make a lot of sense. It's true. Those girls' contributions are nothing compared to yours. It's just that others can't see it."

The older sister didn't question Chen Shijun's words much, after all, behind-the-scenes work is indeed very important. Idols are products launched by the company, and the specifics depend on the people who create the products.

"It's better not to see it then. I'm a low-key person."

If they see themselves stealing merchandise, wouldn't that be infuriating? They've spent money to meet their idol, only to see them a few times at a fan meeting, and Chen Shijun keeps kicking them. What if they unite to boycott them?

"You're too modest. I admire Se-joon's personality. There was even a discussion about Se-joon online last time, with people saying you're more handsome than Bae Yong-joon."

Speaking of which, the company that the older sister took over was founded by Bae Yong-joon. However, before she signed the contract, Bae Yong-joon sold the company to SM Entertainment, and at the same time, the company's mainstay, Kim Soo-hyun, also left the company to start his own business.

"That's an insult to me. That guy has a bad reputation. He's said to be a gigolo and such. I heard he even worked as a male escort. I don't know if it's true or not."

In fact, this person's scandals go far beyond this. He also had illegal listings and acted as a pimp for young female artists. When he sold his company a few years ago, it was because of a rather serious social incident.

In 2017, when his wife Park Soo-jin was giving birth, the baby encountered some problems. Using his connections, he managed to secure a Class A incubator at Samsung Hospital, which is specifically designed for high-risk newborns.

This is quite normal; it's common worldwide for people to pay for better medical services through back channels. But as expected, an accident happened, which resulted in a newborn dying because of the overuse of resources.

This incident sparked a huge public outcry, with tens of thousands of citizens petitioning for severe punishment of Bae Yong-joon and his wife. In the end, even Park Soo-jin's handwritten apology letter was to no avail.

Under such public pressure, Bae Yong-joon had no choice but to sell his company and move to Hawaii with his wife and children. Perhaps Chen Shijun will become his neighbor in the future.

As one of the best actors to make a successful transition, this guy who became famous for his bespectacled, refined and gentle image in "Hotelier" is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, and is absolutely not comparable to Chen Shijun.

"Of course I can't compare to you, and I'm not as good-looking as you either. No matter what, our Shijun is a good person overall, definitely not a bad one."

The older sister laughed heartily. She had heard some of the company founder's dirty secrets, but she never expected it to come to this.

"That's true. I think they're all in cahoots. I don't think his apprentice, Kim Soo-hyun, is any good either. He'll cause trouble sooner or later."

Although Chen Shijun's family didn't have any ancestral skills in physiognomy, they were all police officers. His father, as a veteran policeman, wasn't exactly upright, but his professional competence was absolutely unquestionable. Through his upbringing, he had also learned some minor tricks.

It was like one time when he came home and finally got to sit down and watch TV for a while during a rare moment of father-son warmth, he started to criticize the actor Yoo Ah-in.

The father insisted that this guy was likely a drug abuser. During the interview, his eyes were glazed over, his speech was slow, and he even repeated phrases. His gaze was sometimes unfocused and sometimes excited, which was clearly abnormal.

"Really? Kim Soo-hyun is currently the most outstanding drama actor in South Korea. He has never failed in a drama he stars in; almost every drama he stars in becomes a hit."

This is almost a legend in the industry. This continuous surge in popularity has made countless investors willing to pay his high salaries, even though these salaries account for more than half of the TV series' cost.

"I think it's better for her to be a little obscure. After all, fame often brings trouble. Isn't Nuna quite comfortable like this?"

Chen Shijun also advised her to be content. Although the older woman's ambition in her career stemmed entirely from insecurity, he would never admit that this insecurity came from him. This is the difference between older and younger men; young girls like Zhimin and An'an are easily attracted to young, successful men like him, which represents a mainstream aesthetic in Korean society.

However, there are more things to consider for the older sister. First of all, there is her age. Among actresses of the same age, her condition can be said to be unparalleled. The characteristic of a beauty with good bone structure is that she looks slightly older when she is young, but she can stay young as she gets older.

No matter how well she takes care of herself, when she sees those fresh-faced beauties, even Eun-chae herself wants to give them a good rub, let alone Chen Shijun, that lecherous man.

“Shijun is right. I’m not dissatisfied. When I was 24, I felt like the world was mine. It wasn’t until I was 34 that I came to know myself.”

24-year-old Jung Eun-chae, a newcomer, won two of the three major and three minor awards for her role in "Hae-won, Who Is No One’s Daughter," making her a dazzling newcomer. The two awards from Busan and the Korean Film Critics Association are quite impressive.

Anyone who saw it would think that a superstar was rising, and even she herself thought so. After ten years, she only managed to get the title of "famous actress" and not enough wealth to cover her future life.

All the money she's earned over the years isn't as much as Bae Soo-ji earns in a single year. Moreover, the more she earns, the more she saves, and this money can bring in huge incremental wealth, something she doesn't possess.

The property value of those two buildings increased by more than 10 billion won. She herself only got the opportunity to accumulate wealth after submitting herself to Chen Shijun. To be honest, it's impossible not to be grateful.

“Nuna has been working too hard lately, so you should take care of yourself. And please ask for more people to take care of your uncle.”

There's a saying that "a long illness tests filial piety," but for people who don't lack money, it's not a problem at all, especially for Mr. Zheng's chronic illness. However, as time relentlessly passes, the doctor bluntly stated that being able to get through this winter safely would be a success.

"I understand, but Se-joon, you're so good to me."

The older sister was unusually playful, even reaching out to touch his cheek, which surprised Chen Shijun so much that he straightened up. But then Eun-chae turned around, smiled, threw off her shirt, and strode off to indicate that she was going to take a shower.

"If I don't save you, who will? Meeting me is a blessing you earned in your past life! If you can rest easy, our relationship will last forever."

Upon hearing some of Chen Shijun's words, the older sister paused, her fair shoulders and back, clad only in a bra, revealing a beautiful curve to the man's senses.

"I believe in you, so let me continue to believe in you."

These words kept echoing in Chen Shijun's mind. He had always felt a sense of superiority about saving Zheng Encai, a sense of superiority that even surpassed lust itself.

If you ask whether this counts as a kind of feeling, Chen Shijun thinks it should, how can it not be a feeling?
The passage of time is the best way to temper one's spirit. Now, Eun Chae-noo is a fully polished product, and she gives people a sense of meticulous comfort.

As Chen Shijun gazed at the hazy, swaying figure behind the frosted glass of the bathroom and listened to the pattering water, a subtle sense of superiority welled up inside him like lukewarm steam.

Especially in front of a seemingly arrogant woman like Jung Eun-chae. This relationship made him feel more satisfied and...safe than mere physical attraction.
