Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 337 What did you say, messing around?

"I didn't! You're talking nonsense again."

Looking at her face in the makeup mirror, Captain Shaoqing felt she should go to the restroom to touch up her makeup. Although it was something she was embarrassed to do, she couldn't be rude.

"No! Something's wrong, something's definitely wrong, isn't it..."

Yinhe wanted to come up and make a few more jokes, but since we're all mature women, there's nothing sensitive about this kind of topic.

"I didn't! Don't ask me any more questions!"

Captain Shaoqing suddenly shouted, startling Yinhe so much that she shrank back, wondering what had gotten into this older sister. She wasn't usually this sensitive to jokes!
However, her long-standing prestige made her raise her hand almost instantly, and the other members were also attracted by this small situation and gathered around.

"What's wrong, unnie? Did she make you angry again?"

"How did you make Unnie angry again? I don't know what happened, but it feels like it's your fault."

"Yeah, yeah! You'd better apologize to Unnie right now! Otherwise we'll punish you!"

Although she didn't know how her casual remark had led to her needing to apologize, Yinhe was used to apologizing and immediately began to apologize.

“It’s not her fault, it’s my own fault, I shouldn’t have gotten angry.”

Once she calmed down, Captain Shaoqing realized the problem lay with herself; she had been too tense. She tried to calm herself down while forcing out what she thought was a gentle smile.

"What's going on? Unnie, I'm scared of you..."

This left Yinhe somewhat bewildered, but the older sister quickly packed her things, whispered a few instructions, and then left with her bag, leaving the other members staring at each other in disbelief.

"What's going on! Is Unnie sick? Should we take her to the hospital to get checked out?"

Another concubine, Eunbi, was holding onto Eunha's arm, her voice sounding somewhat flustered. It was truly rare to see the eldest sister like this.

"She looks healthy, so it shouldn't be... maybe she's in a relationship."

"Even if you're dating now, the company won't pay any attention to you. Unless you're doing something big, who cares about you?"

"Yeah, yeah! We're not newcomers anymore, who's avoiding the members now? Are you avoiding them?"

Usually, the members are the first to know about each other's love lives, but Captain Shaoqing should be single at the moment. Besides, dating is a good thing, so what's going on here?
"Forget it, let's go have dinner together! It's her loss if she doesn't go."

The group discussed it at length, but ultimately came to no conclusion. No one knew what had happened, so they had to put it aside for the time being.

……

"Phew! Seriously, why am I so panicked?"

Although she has been a female idol for many years and her years of experience as a leader have made her adept at dealing with people, today is something that she really cannot face with composure.

After all, I didn't intend to take this path in the first place, but since they've already done it, I can't just say it was all a misunderstanding. It's no wonder I'll get myself killed for playing tricks on Director Chen like this.

The other person is young, who knows if they're hot-blooded and might get angry and try to target you? You might disappear from the circle altogether, and if the scope expands, several younger girls might suffer too.

Although he didn't have the kind of sense of responsibility that the characters in novels had—willing to do anything for the group, even sacrifice everything—he ultimately didn't want to cause trouble for others.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Shijun is really good-looking. As a country that values ​​appearance, Captain Shaoqing is no exception. Sometimes you can't say who loses and who gains.

People were constantly moving around in the underground parking garage, making the woman, who already had a guilty conscience, feel extremely uncomfortable. She could only hide in a shadowy corner and quietly wait for Chen Shijun to get off work.

"Damn it! I feel like I'm going to die!"

With a great deal of uncertainty about what was about to happen, Captain Shaoqing's fear grew stronger. This Chen Shijun was definitely a lecherous man; the only women he knew were Quan Enbi and Jin Wenji. He truly took exploiting his connections to the extreme, using his position in the entertainment company to prey on female idols—a master of unspoken rules.

Actually, Chen Shijun was wronged. Consort En offered herself up, it wasn't him who took the initiative, and Xiao Chi was completely unfounded.

As expected, you can't be nice to people for no reason, or you'll be misunderstood. When Chen Shijun saw Jin Wenji, he thought of Yuan Ying, but he didn't expect that some small actions would gradually change in the eyes of the parties involved and outsiders.

"Damn it! Why isn't he out yet? Seriously, is Chen Shijun messing around with his female secretary?"

Although the underground parking lot was quite clean, there were still some mosquitoes. Captain Shaoqing took out a mosquito repellent spray and sprayed it, while muttering to himself.

"What did you say, 'messing around'?"

Under the dim, yellow light, Chen Shijun's cold face came into the woman's view. With a limp hand, the bottle in her hand fell to the ground, making a jarring sound in the quiet underground parking lot.

"Ah! Ah..."

Why did this man walk so silently, so close to her like that? Shaoqing was so frightened that she lost her footing in her high heels and fell right onto Chen Shijun.

The man reached out and caught the woman, which surprised Chen Shijun. He hadn't expected her to be so proactive; she was really eager to improve herself.

"Stand still, don't do that."

This is the company premises, and Chen Shijun doesn't want to get into any trouble. If this guy tries to stage an accident, things will get complicated.

Captain Shaoqing was speechless and realized that she had gone too far. Although her behavior just now was not her intention, it was definitely worthless.

"Director Chen! I just..."

I never expected that talking about other people's crickets would lead to me getting caught red-handed. I can never talk badly about others behind their backs again.

"Get in the car first, what kind of behavior is this?"

He had just seen this guy hiding near his car and was thinking of coming up to say hello, but instead he heard the guy complaining.

While such complaints are understandable, no one likes being talked about behind their back, and Chen Shijun is not that magnanimous.

It was clearly her invitation to have a drink, and Director Chen's willingness to accept was already a great honor, which made Chen Shijun very unhappy.

"Okay! Good."

After glancing around to make sure no one was watching, she obediently climbed into Chen Shijun's car, feeling like a thief.

"Director Chen! Thank you for everything you've done for our group. I've wanted to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance."

They tried to distract Chen Shijun and make him forget what had just happened, otherwise they didn't know how the situation would develop.

"I haven't done much for your group, so you don't need to thank me. It's all arranged by the company."

Chen Shih-Chun did not directly contribute to GFRIEND's contract renewal, although he facilitated it to some extent, but he did not take credit for it.

But Captain Shaoqing didn't interpret these words the same way. She thought they reflected Chen Shijun's dissatisfaction, since she had been pretending to be dead for the past few months.

"Besides, if it's about renewing the contract, why is it only you who's thanking me?"

Chen Shijun's original intention was to subtly criticize the other party. If it were a normal expression of gratitude, having a meal together would avoid any misunderstandings. Why would two people go out for a small gathering?
