Chapter 76 1 Accidentally Revealing My True Feelings
"You know how to talk." Bae Suzy, unable to bear his intense gaze, quickly turned her head away, her face flushed. "Let's not talk about that. What brings you here today?"
"Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?" Lin Yuan replied with a smile.
"You've only come once in all this time, and now you're my boss and direct supervisor. Do you think I'd believe you if you said it was nothing?"
Lin Yuan thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.
But you can't blame him for that. He just wanted to be a spendthrift, spending his days eating, drinking, and having fun.
I never expected that I would be pulled into the entertainment industry by Lee Ji-eun as soon as I landed, and that I would have so many interactions with idols.
To realize his dream of becoming a boss, and also to collect some favorite groups, he came up with the idea of starting a company.
JYP wasn't originally his target; he just wanted to buy some stocks and make money. He blamed the president, JYP Entertainment, for being incompetent, which led to this outcome.
"Don't worry, I really just came to visit and say goodbye. I'm going back to my country for a while."
"What?!" Bae Suzy exclaimed in surprise, her whole body trembling with excitement. "You're going back to Korea? Are you really coming back?"
She hasn't even secured this prime asset yet, nor has she obtained the resources, and now this man is telling her he wants to go back to China? What was the point of all this?
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking at him as if he were an idiot. "Suzy-ssi, don't get agitated!"
"Am I excited?" Bae Suzy immediately stood up and shouted, pretending to be nonchalant.
If you hadn't told me, I would have thought Secretary Dakang had also traveled through time! You're imitating him so well, are you out of your mind?!
"Sit down first." Lin Yuan pulled her hand, comforting her to sit down. "I said I'm only going back for a short while, I'll be back soon. Do you only listen to the first half of what someone says and automatically ignore the second half?"
"Yeah?"
Bae Suzy thought about it carefully.
It seems...maybe...he said it?
Aishi, what's wrong with me? I can't hear you clearly. I feel like I've been abandoned, shouting and yelling. It's so embarrassing.
Bae Suzy felt the warmth from his palm, and a blush spread from her face all the way to her ears.
She tried to pull away in a bit of a panic, only to find that Lin Yuan wasn't holding her tightly; she just didn't want to let go.
"Um... I was just so surprised." Bae Suzy obediently sat back on the sofa, head down, trying to salvage her composure after her earlier outburst. "After all, you're the new boss now, and your investment company is just starting out. If you suddenly say you're leaving, what if the company makes a decision..."
"Come on." Lin Yuan let go of his hand, leaned back on the sofa, and had a teasing smile on his lips. "President Park is still the president, and the management is not paralyzed."
Besides, the expression on your face just now didn't look like you were worried about the company's performance; it looked like I had abandoned you, like the sky had fallen, making me look like a heartless scumbag who started something and then abandoned it.
Having her thoughts exposed, Bae Suzy simply stopped pretending.
She rubbed her burning cheeks, looked up and glared at Lin Yuan, with a hint of coquettishness: "You knew it and you still said it? I finally got used to being a new boss, and you're leaving before you've even warmed your seat."
"Tell me, how long will you be back in China this time? I'm trying to curry favor with you and squeeze more resources and endorsements out of you."
Lin Yuan looked at the female celebrity in front of him, who was known as the "Nation's First Love" but was gradually revealing her true personality in front of him, and secretly found it amusing.
Entertainment news doesn't lie; these seemingly aloof idols and actors actually have a very vivid and realistic side in private.
"It will take at least half a month, and at most a month." Lin Yuan put away his joking expression and said seriously, "I have some things to take care of at home, and I'll go back to rest while I'm there."
Don't worry about the resources. I've already spoken to President Park. What's yours will be yours.
I don't like that whole bomb-proof stuff. You can only eat as much as your capabilities allow; how much you can consume is up to you, after all, you're making money for me too.
Lin Yuan has always had some reservations about explosion-proof measures.
This is something only small companies would do: suppress a popular idol to show off their authority. Ultimately, it's a sign of insecurity and low self-esteem.
Such a thing would never happen to him.
In any group, there is no such thing as equality.
Some people like cute, some like alluring; popularity will always vary, so resources should be allocated accordingly.
Conversely, members with low popularity shouldn't be artificially promoted. Those with a talent for variety shows should be given opportunities to appear on programs, and those with a knack for film and television should be given opportunities to act. As long as they want to make money, there's always a path that suits them.
Moreover, up to 25 years ago, it seems that only Whale didn't have the problem of explosion prevention. After all, this group is very abstract, and the songs lead the people rather than the people leading the songs.
"And when I get back, there's an even bigger surprise waiting for you."
"Surprise? What surprise?" Bae Suzy's eyes lit up instantly.
"It's a secret." Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Alright, I've said goodbye, I should head to the airport now."
Behave yourself at the company during this time, and don't secretly date behind my back, or it will affect the company's stock price.
"Hey! Lin Yuan!" Bae Soo-ji stood up and stomped her foot in dissatisfaction. "Am I the kind of person who lacks professional ethics? Besides, with a young, rich, and high-quality guy like you constantly dangling in front of me, how can I possibly be interested in anyone else?"
The moment those words were uttered, the atmosphere in the office instantly became somewhat awkward.
Bae Suzy regretted her words as soon as they were spoken; the implication was far too obvious.
She looked at Lin Yuan nervously, afraid that he would think she was a woman with too much ulterior motives.
Lin Yuan paused slightly as he reached the office door. He turned around, his deep gaze falling on Pei Xiuzhi, a subtle, enigmatic expression playing on his lips.
"Since your standards have been spoiled, then keep them." Lin Yuan opened the door, waved, and said, "I'm leaving now. Wait for me to come back."
As the office door slowly closed, Bae Suzy sank into the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted.
She covered her pounding chest with her hand, looked at the empty doorway, and a slight smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
"Half a month... well, I'll just have to wait a bit."
.....
The next morning, Lin Yuan and Xia Yuan ate something quick and then headed straight to the airport.
After a four-hour journey, they finally arrived home at noon.
Looking at the nearly 7000-square-meter manor in front of him, Lin Yuan felt a little dizzy. This was too big!
Stepping inside, he was greeted by the antique charm of a Jiangnan garden. He strolled through the gardens, fishponds, and courtyards, looking much like a noble young master from ancient times, except he was missing a book in his hand.
After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan suddenly realized... he seemed to be lost.
Damn, am I the first transmigrator to get lost in my own home? This is so incredibly embarrassing!
He took out his phone and called his mother.
As soon as the call connected, I said, "Mom, I'm lost at home, can you come pick me up?"
*Pfft!*
"Hahaha, Lin Yuan, say it again, where did you get lost?"
My mother, Jin Meilan, laughed loudly.
Lin Yuan's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. He gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice, "In my own garden!"
"Haha, I...I understand, I'll come pick you up now."
Just before hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan heard other people laughing, and the laughter sounded strangely familiar.
