Chapter 1633: Chapter 658: She Better Not Agree_2

"W-what did he say?"

Thinking of the man who seemed sunshine-sweet but was actually unknowably deep, Park Chaeyoung shivered.

"He said... it would be better if you didn’t sign."

President Jin spoke slowly, his eyes carrying an indescribably profound meaning.

Better not to sign?

Park Chaeyoung was utterly unprepared for this answer, but she wasn’t truly a foolish woman. She quickly read something from President Jin’s meaningful gaze, as if recalling the scene of Park Jeongyun being taken away. Her complexion gradually turned pale.

Park Chaeyoung even developed an illusion that right now, just outside the office door, something terrifying was waiting to devour her, just waiting for her to refuse to sign and then suddenly rush in to completely swallow her...

In that silent, untraceable passage of time, Park Chaeyoung finally tremblingly picked up the pen and wrote her name at the end of the contract.

"Please, place your fingerprint as well."

President Jin thoughtfully pushed over the bright red ink pad.

...

"I understand."

Zhou Wang stretched his arms to the side, letting Xu Wenqian help him put on a brand new suit jacket, while speaking into the phone Sura was holding up.

Finally, Zhou Wang added, "Well done, thanks for your hard work."

On the other end of the phone, President Jin immediately expressed trepidation, as if you could hear the sound of tables and chairs sliding due to urgency even through the phone: "It’s all thanks to you, Chairman. I only made a slight insignificant contribution under your leadership."

After President Jin finished his emotion-filled praise and flattery, Sura glanced at Zhou Wang, saw him slightly nod, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Sura observed Zhou Wang’s calm expression and then dared to giggle, "Korea’s culture really is similar to ours in Huaxia, but wait, when they flatter, they seem to be more direct..."

"That’s a common culture worldwide, at most there’s just the difference between subtle and blunt."

Zhou Wang replied irritably and then seemed lost in thought.

Park Chaeyoung ultimately accepting those arguably "humiliating" terms was entirely within his expectations.

Especially in Korea, she appeared to be a glamorous superstar, but under such true upper-level pressure, she was no different from an ordinary person. Accepting means at least after a few years, she might have a chance to turn things around. Not accepting, her fate wouldn’t be much better than Park Jeongyun’s.

In fact, if it weren’t for Jisoo, Lisa, and Jin Zhenni’s successive pleas and the consideration that BlackPink had already become a symbolic whole, replacing members wouldn’t be ideal or he wouldn’t have given her even this slim chance.

"Boss, everything’s ready."

Xu Wenqian seemed unconcerned with these matters, quietly tidying Zhou Wang’s collar and softly reminding him.

"Then I’ll go first. Today you’re going to help Qingkui and the others with shopping, right?"

Zhou Wang nodded and asked before leaving.

"Yeah, there are some skincare products you can’t buy domestically, and I’ve already listed out the items..."

Xu Wenqian said with a smile.

"Alright, I’ll have President Jin assign a car for you. Remember to charge all your shopping expenses to the company and have Qingkui reimburse you when you return."

Zhou Wang reminded once more before walking towards the door.

Sura, lagging behind, hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist asking Xu Wenqian, "Hey, you really don’t care?"

"Care about what?"

Xu Wenqian paused.

"Ugh, you obviously know what I mean."

Sura muttered, "You must have sensed it too, Zhou Wang’s relationships with those BlackPink girls seem complicated, hasn’t he gone out so many times without us these days... Now even more so, he’s directly going to Cui Min’er’s place, basically like meeting the parents, and you not only have no reaction but even willingly avoid it, can’t understand your thinking..."

"Otherwise what should I do, fight or snatch?"

Xu Wenqian sighed with amusement, then softly breathed out, "It’s already good to stay by his side like this, to see him every day... I even wish we could stay in Korea for a few more days."

Sura increasingly couldn’t grasp Xu Wenqian’s thoughts, at this rate, if Zhou Wang stays there a bit longer, it won’t just be BlackPink, even members of aespa like Liu Zhimin’s girl group or Lin Yun’er from Girls’ Generation might end up in our boss’s bed...

"Sura, what are you dawdling for, aren’t you coming?"

Just then, Zhou Wang returned and asked with raised brows at the door.

"Oh, coming!"

Sura, who held translation duties at specific times, stuck out her tongue and hurriedly followed with a guilty conscience.

...

Jiulong Village, the largest shantytown in Seoul.

Today was a rare sunny day in winter, with the slightly warm sun peeking through the clouds, releasing a hint of warmth to the earth.

The village stretched along the hillside, reviving in this rare warmth with noticeable activity. There were people everywhere, and most of the disorderly shops along the street were open for business, bustling with life.

Amidst this bustle, suddenly a black Mercedes-Benz business car turned out from the corner of the street. With its stern and smooth lines, it resembled a beast imposing in a chaotic street that reeked of despair, instantly quieting the noise considerably.

In the silent pause of some village residents, this Mercedes-Benz business car was just the beginning.

One after another, identical black business cars continuously drove from the street corner. They surrounded a Rolls-Royce Phantom that many had only ever seen in magazines. Under the golden Flying goddess’s parade, they slowly passed through the entire street and drove towards the hillside of the village.

After a brief silence, the crowd grew even more boisterous, uncertain and puzzled.

The magnitude of this lineup indicated a big figure appearing in Jiulong Village, but the question is... this is Jiulong Village!

How could there be anyone or anything here associated with someone of this level?

"Let’s go follow and check..."

"Quick!"

After the initial natural fear, curiosity and gossip quickly prevailed, and the idle village residents all invited their friends to follow along.

...

Ahead of a slope deep in Jiulong Village.

Many residents who heard the commotion already opened their windows or cautiously stood in the alley, watching the luxury procession barely stopping below the slope.

Here, the road became very narrow, only just allowing vehicles through, but even if you drive in, it’s hard to turn back out, so the leading driver could only stop here.

Under countless explicit and implicit gazes, the electric door of the business vehicle slid open, and one by one, youths wearing sunglasses and black suits with standard majestic cultivations and cold demeanor emerged from the car, quickly moving forward, promptly occupying both sides of the slope.

They silently stood, resembling a black gang film, leaving the village residents with open mouths.

The village certainly had "gangs," but the gang members in their impression were dyed with yellow hair and careless; none wore such obviously expensive suits, let alone with such upright postures...

The Rolls-Royce’s door was pulled open by a tall girl wearing sunglasses, exuding charisma like a spy, with a large black diamond ring on her finger. Zhou Wang, in a snowy white suit, stepped out of the car, slightly raised his head, and silently observed the slope ahead.

The environment was relatively clean, but the houses were dilapidated, the buildings in disorganized order, and there was a faint peculiar smell in the air... is this really the environment Cui Min’er grew up in?

After a few glances, Zhou Wang walked forward amid his bodyguards.

At this moment, Cui Min’er, who received the news, ran out of her home, initially exclaiming "Ah" at the grand scene, then unabashedly ran towards Zhou Wang, delighted.

At the bottom of the slope, Zhou Wang smiled and stopped, extending his arms.
