China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 725: Some are the chairman, some are sensible

In terms of comprehensive conditions.

IU is really good.

A little queen of South Korean music scene with countless fans.

Most men would subconsciously stay away when they see her, let alone pursue her.

There are some male artists in the circle who don't know their place. For example, there was a male senior who expressed his affection in an obscure way.

But perhaps he had been warned by his agent, and he apologized with a pale face the next day.

in South Korea.

The rules of the game are set by the chaebols.

Zhou Yutang has invested so many resources in IU and brought her to her current position.

There was a lot of discussion in the small circle behind the scenes, saying that Lee Ji-eun was Zhou Yutang's exclusive lover.

Lin Yuna probably knew about this. Although she was polite every time they met, she showed hidden hostility towards IU to varying degrees.

Li Zhien just takes it calmly.

Even her best friends asked her about it tentatively, but she didn't give any explanation.

With her smooth experience and achievements.

No matter how I explain it, it seems pale and powerless.

IU is just a little depressed. Why doesn't the playboy come and cheat on me?
Is it because I'm not charming enough?

IU raised her fist in front of the mirror and smiled a dazzlingly sweet smile.
“Fighting, IU, you will succeed!”

After receiving Zhou Yutang's call, IU got dressed in the hotel room as quickly as possible.

In South Korea, if a woman goes out without makeup, she will be considered a lazy woman and will be pointed at and talked about behind her back by others.

So IU mastered this skill very early.

While applying the mask, she combed her quiet and smooth long hair behind her head with both hands.

Looking around, this hairstyle looks both decent and feminine.

The evening occasion was not a stage performance, so there was no need for too bright eyeshadow. IU only carefully applied a simple light makeup and a little concealer foundation.

She quickly curled her eyelashes and applied some blush. The light-colored lipstick made her look more girlish. Finally, she opened the drawer and took out the bottle of Chanel No. 5, sprinkling some on her wrists and behind her ears. The fresh and sensual fragrance diffused in the air.

Overall, it has a unique flavor between a mature woman and a young girl.

IU looked a little unfamiliar to Zhou Yutang after she changed her clothes.

On the stage, she is the energetic and vibrant national sister, but now she is a youthful woman who exudes sexiness all the time.

Including him.

In the box were SBS Deputy Director Lee, MBC TV CEO, and TVN TV drama director.

All eyes were focused on her.

A black turtleneck sweater is worn under the black coat, and the tight black turtleneck sweater makes the outline curves that are rarely shown to others even more proud and eye-catching.

It must not have been this big originally.

Governor Zhou’s eyes are his ruler.

He was very sensitive to the fact that this was the gathering magic that Yoona and Nazha often used.

The lower body is a leather miniskirt, and the black tights wrapped around IU's slender and straight legs, and the black matte high heels at her feet.

She didn't wear any extra accessories, but she still looked beautiful and relaxed.

It can be salty or sweet, pure and sexy.

Zhou Yutang suddenly remembered a phrase that has been popular on the Chinese Internet recently.

It really does have that flavor.

His gaze, filled with warmth and pure appreciation, made IU's face flush quietly, and at the same time, she felt a secret joy in her heart.

"IU, come here, this is SBS Deputy Director Lee, this is MBC Director An Hengjunan."

After waving his hand, IU came over obediently and sat next to Zhou Yutang. She listened to him introduce the origins of these people and greeted them one by one with a decent smile.

Some of them I know, some I don’t, but there is no doubt that all of them are high-ranking figures in the South Korean television system.

"IU would like to ask everyone to take good care of her in the future."

Zhou Yutang took the initiative to speak, and Minister An smiled and said, "It should be, IU is the national sister, haha."

“Chairman Zhou’s speech at Seoul National University today was truly extraordinary.”

"I didn't expect that the president would have such leisure and elegance. IU's performance at the concert was also wonderful."

In such an occasion, no matter how beautiful a woman is, unless she is like Li Fuzhen, she is just an embellishment. The real protagonist is still Zhou Yutang.

Several TV station executives who were at least two generations older than Zhou Yutang all implicitly regarded her as the core, and their various words of flattery and praise amazed IU.

She had no room to speak and could only observe Zhou Yutang, exchanging politeness with the others with a calm face.

Although he is so dazzling on the stage, he is indescribably low-key and reserved at this moment.

The occasional flashes of commanding power and majesty make IU feel even more mysterious.

Precocious girls like IU are often particularly interested in men with unfathomable scheming.

If it weren't for the fact that this group of old men were so kind as to come to the Shilla Hotel specifically, Zhou Yutang would have had no interest in dealing with them.

Since we are already here, why not bring IU to meet him? It will save us a lot of trouble in the future.

After some toasts, the party finally ended.

IU, who had drunk several glasses of red wine, had a pure face that was as red as cinnabar, and her tone was indescribably cute and innocent, "Oppa, it's so handsome when you let them take care of me, thank you."

"Just meet, don't think too much."

"Inside."

IU responded with drunken eyes, a little dazed, not standing steadily, and her body seemed to be shaking.

Zhou Yutang quickly supported IU, and then she naturally fell into Zhou Yutang's arms.

Smelling the sweet fragrance of the girl, Zhou Yutang subconsciously placed his hand on IU's waist: "Your alcohol tolerance is so poor, don't drink too much in the future."

"No, I can drink quite well."

IU ignored Zhou Yutang's hand, but tilted her head back and smiled sweetly: "I'm really happy today."

She rested her head on Zhou Yutang's shoulder, feeling groggy as if she was about to fall asleep.

"Where's the agent?"

"I asked him to go home, oppa can you take me to my room?"

IU bit her lower lip and lifted her hair, looking playful and charming.

Zhou Yutang had no choice but to half-carry her into the hotel elevator.

Given his cooperative relationship with Li Fuzhen and the confidentiality agreement they had signed, Shilla Hotel was a place he could trust.

Of course, with Governor Zhou's shrewdness, he still asked the bodyguards on his team to take equipment to check the entire hotel room to confirm that there were no problems.

Taking the hotel's special elevator, IU's heart beat faster and faster as she felt weightless as the floors kept rising.

Taking her into the room, Zhou Yutang placed his light body on the sofa bed and sat next to her.

A warm and soft body, like a sweet breeze blowing in, crouched in Zhou Yutang's arms.

Tonight is still a long night.

It's long enough to have lots of wonderful things to do.

Zhou Yutang stood up and leaned against the back of the bed.

Light a cigarette.

He looked at IU sleeping next to him with admiration.

Even without makeup, she is still pure and charming, and her skin under the quilt is so white as snow that it is dazzling.

His eyes slid from the captivating round lines of the shoulders and arms, fell into the deep ravine, and then to the two smooth and delicate legs sticking out from the quilt.

"Oppa, what time is it?"

IU's lazy voice reminded Zhou Yutang of her gentle humming last night.

It is indeed an indescribable wonderful feeling to have a natural singing girl who unleashes her charm on stage and has countless fans cheering for her bow down to you.

Noticing that his left hand was held in his arms, Zhou Yutang smiled softly and said, "It's nine o'clock."

"Oh no, I have a movie promotion and variety show recording schedule today!"

IU suddenly sat up from the bed, realized that her private parts were exposed, and quickly pulled the quilt to cover them.

"No rush, the promotional schedule has been postponed to the afternoon."

Zhou Yutang said slowly, "The recording of the variety show has been postponed to tomorrow. Jieun, did you have anything you wanted to say to me last night?"

"How did Oppa know?"

"When you came for the audition before the New Year, I felt that something was wrong with you. What happened?" "I really can't hide anything from you."

IU suddenly had a feeling that all her secrets were about to be seen through by the man in front of her.

"If you get into any trouble, you can speak up."

We have been signed for a few years and are very familiar with each other. After last night, we know each other even better and there are many things we can say without hesitation.

A blush appeared on IU's crystal white ears. Looking into Zhou Yutang's deep and bright eyes, she seemed to be lost in the gentle and deep sea that was as deep as the bottomless sea.

Leaning in Zhou Yutang's warm embrace, IU seemed to have found someone to lean on, and then she told him about the troubles she had encountered: "Oppa, I need your help with something."

Zhou Yutang had no habit of smoking. He took just one puff and let the cigarette burn out between his fingers.

After understanding what IU simply stated, I couldn't help but laugh: "So, that's it?"

He had originally been in some serious trouble, but he didn't expect to stand up for his friend.

IU has many friends in the circle, but not many of them are close friends.

One of them is Park Ji-yeon from the company's Crown girl group, and another one is Choi Xueqiu from SM's FX group, who is no stranger to Zhou Yutang.

IU even wrote a song for the latter and sang it at last night’s concert, but this time the problem lies with another good friend.

"KARA's Goo Hara?"

Zhou Yutang thought about it and remembered that he had heard Yoona mention it and had some impression of it.

This is a very powerful second-generation girl group, especially in Japan. They are very popular. They were the first South Korean girl group to hold a performance in Tokyo Dome. Their contract just expired at the beginning of the year, and then they were targeted by some people and some tricks were used on them.

Many times, beauty is the best gift from God for women.

But the gifts given by fate may sometimes have a price already secretly marked on them.

If beauty alone is not supported by additional conditions such as family, background, talent, etc., it can easily become the source of misfortune.

Especially in a deformed social environment like South Korea, where the sun doesn't shine, there is always some darkness and evil, staring at the purity and beauty, wanting to chew it up and swallow it.

"If Oppa feels bothered, just pretend I didn't say anything."

This man seemed to be accustomed to squinting his eyes when thinking, and even a faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

IU thought she was quite perceptive, but at this moment she couldn't see any of his intentions.

Zhou Yutang had a faint smile on his face, looking at her with a half-smile: "There is a dinner party tonight, let her come too."

"Oppa, you won't."

The expression on IU's little face was a little shocked.

His arm tightened, Zhou Yutang patted IU's hand, and gave her a gentle but powerful smile, "Don't think too much, bad things will pass, and everything will be fine."

He is a scumbag, not a scumbag.

Since Goo Hara's contract has expired, she will sign with the Gangdong branch instead.

She is quite popular in Japan and has certain commercial value.

Zhou Yutang also called Secretary Li who was beside the Samsung Princess.

Some things are more convenient to be handled by local bosses. Secretary Li is the person that Li Fuzhen specially arranged for Zhou Yutang to handle these troubles.

After briefly explaining the situation, Zhou Yutang said in a deep voice, "Secretary Li, this is the person I want. I don't want to see any accidents. Do you understand?"

"President, I understand."

As the personal secretary of the eldest princess of Samsung, of course she has enough wisdom.

He quickly made a judgment in his mind that with the influence of the Samsung chaebol, it would be basically not difficult to get this matter done.

Zhou Yutang's expression was calm and solemn when he was on the phone.

However, in IU's eyes, he seemed like a king who was high above and could decide people's life and death.

"Oppa, you are a good person."

IU took the initiative to sit on Zhou Yutang's legs and gave him a kiss in an effortless and clumsy manner.

Zhou Yutang gradually became dissatisfied with feeling the temperature of IU's delicate skin, and his fingers began to feel the round and comfortable feeling brought by the curvature change.
“IU, you’re so beautiful!”

"Zhou Yutang, look here, look here!"

"Oppa, oh shorty."

At the fan meeting of "Tomb Raider", the Korean media at the scene really didn't want to miss a second of Zhou Yutang's appearance on stage in South Korea again.

IU next to her looked radiant, but her walking was a little unsteady, and one fan shouted, "Jie Eun, what happened to your legs?"

"The concert is over. I accidentally fell while taking a shower. It shouldn't be a big deal."

The sweet smile on IU's innocent face almost broke the hearts of the husband fans present: "Please, take good care of yourself!"

However, IU's agent Bae Jong-han had a very complicated expression.

Even when his assistant team reminded him to speak, he was still dazed. He waited until the media interview was over before he found IU. He hesitated to speak, but finally said bitterly:

"Jie'en, actually, you don't have to do this."

After sobering up last night, his mind was completely clear. From his point of view, what IU took the initiative to do for her friend last night was actually unnecessary.

"Uncle, really, can't I have my own love life?"

IU, contrary to her sweetness in front of fans just now, rolled her eyes vividly: "I also have someone I like, why can't it be the president?"

"But...he."

Pei Zhonghan really wanted to say that this was a sea king and was definitely not a good match, but when he thought about the fact that he still had to eat, he swallowed his words and let out a heavy sigh.

As the earliest agent to follow IU, they have been together for almost ten years and he almost treats IU as his junior.

"Okay, I'll take care of it myself."

IU smiled and there was light in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Yutang.

Things like feelings are really strange.

For women.

If a woman has had a brief ambiguous relationship with a very good man, as long as she subjectively thinks it is that kind of relationship, then she will invisibly raise her standards for choosing a partner.

Unless a man of the same class has outstanding qualities, it is difficult for him to be noticed by women of the same class.

So IU always feels that the boys of the same age in the circle are childish and ridiculous.

Regarding love, Li Zhien feels that she can wait, wait for a truly excellent man who is worth waiting for, or even not have a man.
Anyway, my original intention was not for a man, but just to be able to stand out and make enough money through my singing career so that I and my family could live a good life.

Having this idea also comes from the environment I grew up in.

In fact, IU's family environment when she was a child was considered well-off, but things are unpredictable. Her parents owed a huge loan because they acted as guarantors for others.

Endless quarrels throughout the day and the shadow and fear brought by the debt collectors made Li Zhien understand what reality is.

She and her younger brother lived in her grandmother's house.

Probably from that time on, she made up her mind to change her own life and the life of her family in her own way.

So I went to Seoul to be a trainee.

Living with relatives is not easy, but it doesn’t matter even if you are looked down upon.

It doesn’t matter even if the room you live in is infested with cockroaches and bugs.

She always knew what she wanted.

As long as you can stand out.

These are things that can be tolerated.

Unfortunately, his training career was not a success.

The company ultimately decided not to invest more resources in her, despite her average looks and talent.

"Jie Eun, your qualifications are not good enough. Hard work alone is not enough."

She still remembers the way the female director of the entertainment company looked down at her. Big wavy hair, heavy makeup, and an equally strong scent of perfume.

These words, spoken with a slightly mocking tone, were like a bolt from the blue to Lee Ji-eun at that time.

Is this all life has to be?
Just when she was in despair, the hurricane of "The Voice of China" hit South Korea.

“Find the most moving voice and let your own musical brilliance shine!”

At that time, she was like countless young people who went on stage with their dreams. The difference was that those people also ended up being unknown, while Lee Ji-eun seized the opportunity and turned her life around.

She was overwhelmed by the surprise and signed with Jiangdong Entertainment. At first she thought she was being cheated.

Because she is the only artist in the entire company.

It wasn't until I met Zhou Yutang that everything became different.

From then on, everything went smoothly.

In the words of the South Korean entertainment industry, she is the contemporary queen of South Korean music and will dominate the music scene for ten years.

Life is easy.
