Some staff went to clean up the mess after the meal, while Chen Chen went back to his office and lay down.

He closed his eyes and felt the light above his head flickering. Chen Chen took the scarf at hand and covered his eyes, which made him feel much more comfortable.

The feeling of comfort had not lasted for three seconds when Chen Chen felt that his formal suit was a little tight. He unbuttoned a few buttons before he felt his breathing became smoother.

Then there were his pants and shoes. In short, he always felt uncomfortable somewhere. Even after arranging all his clothes, Chen Chen still felt that there was a throbbing and itchy spot behind his neck and in the middle of his back that he couldn't reach.

"piss off!"

"Bang~Hua La La~"

Chen Chen kicked the documents beside his legs and felt much more comfortable. The pain and itchiness disappeared.

But the price was that the white A4 paper was scattered everywhere, and some bound documents were kicked apart.

After staring at the documents on the floor for a while, Chen Chen's mood gradually calmed down.

"I have to clean it up myself, it's unnecessary to kick you there."

After regretting for half a second, Chen Chen squatted down and carefully restored the pile of files that he had destroyed to vent his anger.

Even though it was a bunch of meaningless garbage scripts, helping President Chen vent some of his emotions was considered a contribution to the world.

……

Turn off the lights and go home.

Walking in the biting cold wind, the heat in Chen Chen's heart subsided a little.

Chen Chen had to admit that today's event was the worst and most completely unsuccessful one he had ever organized.

It was filled with awkwardness from beginning to end. None of the scenes I wanted to see, the goals I wanted to accomplish, and the feelings I wanted to experience actually appeared, and they didn't even come close.

"It's just a New Year's Eve, how hard can it be?!"

Chen Chen now wished he could travel back in time and kick himself to death for having such thoughts!
It's embarrassing. What I did today was very embarrassing, just like a top student who went off-topic in his composition during an important exam!
"Yeah, that's off topic, haha."

Chen Chen suddenly laughed, and was happy for a few seconds because he found a good way to describe it.

As the general person in charge, I actually let the event go off topic.
That’s right, among the dozens of people including the guests and staff, only one and a half really want to celebrate the New Year!

One is Chen Chen, half is Tzuyu who is obviously excited, and the rest are all working, playing, socializing, and accompanying. Anyway, there is no option of celebrating the New Year.

The guests had a great time, the audience in the live broadcast room enjoyed it, and even Chen Chen's hidden goal of showcasing various Chinese customs was accomplished quite well. The show was on the hot searches from the start to the end, and the influence it created made his peers dumbfounded and ashamed of themselves.

If viewed as a business project, it has achieved tremendous results from all perspectives.

But this is not a commercial project, this is Chen Chen’s original intention to have a good year.

Now it has become a matter of great resentment for him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

But Chen Chen is not an ordinary person after all. During the time he was walking on the way home, he had been summarizing where the problem lay.

First, the guests invited by Chen Chen were almost all people who had no idea about the "Chinese New Year Festival". It was a bit too much to rely on them to create the New Year atmosphere he wanted.

People simply don't understand, and you didn't explain it clearly, and then you took the initiative to raise expectations. No matter how excessive Chen Chen is, he has to admit that he is actually the one who is excessive.

The second point is that people take it for granted that everyone here is not restricted by their status.

This is a social occasion for mature people in society, and those who come are intelligent, even savvy, elites in the entertainment industry. How could their sense of status be ignored just because of someone's idea or a few words?
This is a fatal situation, because you may lose your future in the circle at any time.

You, Chen Chen, don't care about your status because you are the person with the highest status in the whole place. Others are not as calm as you and cannot meet your requirements.

The world in everyone's eyes is different, and Chen Chen's consideration is still not thoughtful enough.

The third and final point is that Chen Chen was doing something he had no experience in.

Chinese New Year seems to be something that every Chinese person has experienced many times. Although Chen Chen's life experience is special both in the "past" and "present", he has always experienced Chinese New Year, at least the memory of it has never been broken.

However, Chen Chen has always spent the New Year as a person being taken care of from the perspective of a child. He has never celebrated the New Year as a caregiver, or as an "organizer".

He didn't have the opportunity to do that kind of thing, or even if both sides were added together, he hadn't grown or been happy enough to have the opportunity to do that kind of thing.

Since it was just a spur of the moment action without any experience, the result of returning in disastrous defeat was very suitable for Chen Chen and there was nothing to complain about.

If you feel uncomfortable, just bear with it. If you force yourself to get something you don’t deserve, you will naturally have to pay a price.

……

……

Pushing the door open and entering the house, Chen Chen felt warm inside under the warm light, especially when he thought that Bae Joo-hyun should be there too.

"Come and eat." Pei Zhuxuan greeted Chen Chen when she saw him coming home. "That's not a place to eat. I guess you must be hungry."

"My stomach is fine, actually." Chen Chen walked over and hugged Pei Zhuxuan in his arms. "My heart feels empty and a little uncomfortable."

"Then fill your stomach first and then let me slowly fill your heart." Bae Joo Hyun put her arm around him and patted his back, "Go wash your hands, eating is the most important thing in the world."

"..."

Although he said he was washing his hands, Chen Chen actually removed his makeup and changed his clothes at the same time. He was already in his pajamas when he sat at the dining table.

"What a standard table of dishes. I think I've seen pictures of it when I was collecting information." Chen Chen was a little surprised. "Did you learn how to arrange it specially?"

"Yeah, it took a little effort." Bae Joo Hyun nodded and said, "You said it's the New Year, so this activity shouldn't be over when we get home, so it's reasonable to have such a meal."

"..."

"Thank you."

Chen Chen was speechless. He felt like the void in his heart was being filled.

"Then there's the gift." Bae Joo Hyun took out a gift box from under the table. "At least this is necessary to make it complete. I think everyone says so."

"..."

"Let's eat first." Chen Chen accepted the gift and put it aside. "After eating, let's go to bed. I'm exhausted today. Have a good sleep. When we get up tomorrow, let's look at the comments online and talk about what happened today."

"Okay." Pei Zhuxuan nodded gently, "Let's eat first."

After the meal, Chen Chen's overall perception of today's events was completely different.

He began to feel that he was being pretentious.

You drag people into the game without permission, then have expectations without permission, and after it's done you feel that it's far from your expectations and become disappointed without permission. Isn't this being pretentious?
You choose the people yourself and arrange the process yourself. If you are not satisfied with the final result, you cannot blame anyone. It is the result of your own actions!
Then there is the serious analysis on the way home
Then, I changed my mindset so easily under Bae Joo Hyun's gentle care. I felt like I was being controlled.
Finally, now, Bae Joo-hyun is leaning in his arms and looking at him tenderly.

"What's wrong, Chen?"

Bae Joo-hyun reached out and touched Chen Chen's face.

"It's okay." Chen Chen also touched her face in return, "I just feel so good to have you around."

Oh, this is so damn pretentious.

But after Chen Chen's pretentiousness, Bae Joo-hyun will take care of him, and even the dissatisfaction caused by his pretentiousness will be filled and smoothed out by her tenderness.

Just for this point, Chen Chen has won so much.
