Just as he had predicted, Tang Jinyan only returned to Seoul once a month.
It was October 5th, Park Soyeon's birthday.
During the rest of the time, Tang Jinyan spent all his time in the project department. He was too busy.
It was not easy to be a minister.
Su Shan left behind a few elite soldiers to work with the project department to raise funds for the early phase of the project. He led his team back to China early on.
The Ministry of Culture and Jeju Road officials also left early, leaving a few people to act as Tang Jinyan's "subordinates."
Tang Jinyan also transferred some key personnel from his Incheon company to form a project department of more than 20 people. They were fully operational, communicating and coordinating with all parties, and recruiting people to reorganize the company in the future.
It had been a long time since Tang Jinyan did something like building an empire from scratch.
Step by step, the approval process was completed, the first phase of the project design was completed, the funds were in place, the bidding for the main construction team was completed, various contracts were signed, and the first batch of wood and stone was delivered. Looking at the scene of the construction site starting to work, Tang Jinyan was so busy that his face became thinner and he became more tanned. But surprisingly, he felt very fulfilled, as if he had endless strength.
In a trance, he felt a little like many years ago when he and his brothers had just opened a disco and were preparing for the renovation and opening day …
In fact, the nature was similar. At that time, he had started from nothing, and this time, he had also started from nothing — including a large number of official and social connections. This was an extremely precious wealth, enough for anyone to benefit endlessly, especially Tang Jinyan, who was in urgent need of such resources. It was like a sweet dew after a long drought, and he had no choice but to put in 120% of his effort.
The tense and busy days flashed by, and it was October 5th. It was the first important day after Tang Jinyan and Park Soyeon officially started dating. Tang Jinyan decisively put down his complicated work, gave himself a day off, and boarded the plane to Seoul.
"You've lost weight …" Park Suk Yeon, who had come to pick Tang Jinyan up, blurted out when she saw him walking out of the passageway. She then stroked his slightly skinny face and stubble with heartache and pursed her lips without saying a word.
The flashes of the mobile phones of the passersby on the left and right were clicking, as if a real-life soap opera was being played here. The two of them turned a blind eye and looked at each other silently.
Park Soyeon did not expect to see Tang Jinyan again after more than 20 days since the two of them met in Pusan.
When they met, he was so dark and skinny that she almost couldn't recognize him. Only his eyes were still bright and full of energy. When he looked at her, he revealed a clear sense of doting. "You've become rounder."
Park Soyeon giggled. "I don't have much of a schedule these days. Other than the stage of 'Sex Love', I don't have much of a schedule. Tell me, did the big boss of Mnet put pressure on our President Kim?"
Tang Jinyan rubbed his nose. "I didn't say anything. It's Zheng Shunchen who thinks that you should reduce the frequent work schedule. Even if it's not for the sake of your health, do you want to provoke a group attack again?
Anyway, I think it makes sense. If you feel that you're not making enough money, I'll support you … "
"I heard that you've been investing a lot recently. The entire Tang Enterprise, including Incheon, is living a tight life. I also need to make money to support my family …"
"F * ck, who did you hear that from? It's so detailed."
"Yoon-rim Oni."
"… Why are you still calling me Oni?"
"He insisted that I call him that."
"Fine.
Actually, he just changed the cosmetics worth one billion won to nine hundred and ninety million won. This is a sign that he's living a tight life. You believe him … "
"…"
Of course, the two of them wouldn't just talk about money when they met. Tang Jinyan changed the topic. "Today is your birthday. I really didn't have time to prepare in advance. Don't blame me."
"The fact that you're here is the best gift."
Park Soyeon happily held his hand and swayed forward. She was as happy as a little girl.
Tang Jinyan held her hand and the two of them strolled to the parking lot. Park Soyeon drove to pick him up.
In fact, on the phone earlier, she had repeatedly told him not to come back if he was too busy. But seeing that he was so worried and still came back despite his busy schedule, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart.
That's why it's said that women never mean what they say. Most men must remember this …
When they got into the car, they didn't even bother to start the engine. Soon, the two of them hugged each other passionately and kissed until the sky turned dark.
After kissing for five or six minutes, the two of them finally separated, panting. Park Soyeon's face was flushed, and she looked at him with watery eyes. "Oppa, I miss you so much. This time, I've been away for even longer than that time in Japan … I miss you more every day. I don't want to be apart from you at all …"
Tang Jinyan laughed out loud. "Hey, you're not young anymore. Is it really okay to be so mushy like a little girl?
You've been watching soap operas all day recently, right? "
"Hmph."
Park Soyeon wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "I've been poisoned by you, and I want to stick to you more every day. This is definitely not good news for you."
"Why isn't it good news?
It's obviously great news. "
"Really?"
Park Soyeon smiled as she started the car and slowly drove away from the airport. "Then I'm going to play a trick on you. Let's see how you're going to deal with Oni and Zhixiao."
Tang Jinyan bowed with his hands clasped in front of him as if he was begging for mercy.
Park Soyeon was, of course, joking. After driving for a short distance, she suddenly said, "Today is my birthday party. A friend wanted to come to the party, but I heartlessly rejected her."
Tang Jinyan knew who she was talking about. "Xu Xian is back from Japan?"
"She's been back for a long time …" Park Soyeon said with a smile. "Do you know, the first thing she did when she came back was to call me and ask me out for coffee?"
"And then?"
"And then she told me very seriously that she likes you.
She went on to say that Oni, don't worry, I'll only like him secretly. "
Park Soyeon laughed so hard that her mouth stretched to her ears. "This weirdo is so serious that I laughed for five minutes … How did you hook up with such a miracle?"
Tang Jinyan spread his hands. "I don't know how I hooked up with her, but she's so open. It's not good to refuse her to come to the party, right?"
Park Soyeon said with a straight face, "That's why the more I want to stick to you, the more I want to monopolize you. It's not good news for you."
Tang Jinyan laughed. "Tell me the truth."
"Oh …" Park Suk Yeon pouted. "I was the one who invited her, but she rejected me …"
"Pfft … Hahaha …" Tang Jinyan laughed and pointed at her. "Is it because you've been spending more time with Zhixiao recently that your artistic sense has improved?"
Park Soyeon hit the steering wheel angrily. "You're still laughing!
This little stubborn girl, what's wrong with attending a party? Do I look like such a petty woman to you? "
"She's just afraid of being embarrassed." Tang Jinyan sighed. "Xiaoxian and Zhixiao are different …"
Park Soyeon glanced at him. "She's just waiting for me to step down.
But even if I step down, it's still too far away for her to do anything. Juli is waiting … "
"Eh, Juli and I don't have …"
Park Soyeon said casually, "There will be after I step down."
Tang Jinyan was stunned and speechless.
He suddenly realized that Park Soyeon was actually a delicate balance. She was Xu Xian's sister and Li Juli's best friend. Both of them were unable to compete because of her.
If it were Eun-thi … Tang Jinyan imagined a scene: Jung Eun-thi cowering in the corner with a dumbfounded look on her face, while the two seniors stood in front of her and laughed mischievously. There were a few words above them: Scared (Eun-thi Limited Edition).
He couldn't help but shudder …
Park Soyeon suddenly looked at the rearview mirror narcissistically. "I just realized that I'm actually such an important person. If one day I don't want to do it anymore, your side will immediately become a battlefield.
Thank me, wahahaha … "
Tang Jinyan was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Recently, I've been looking at the design draft of the city's offensive and defensive cultural corridor. There's something very interesting …"
"What is it?"
"It's called the Battle Avoidance Card. As long as it's hung on the city wall, the enemy is not allowed to attack the city."
Tang Jinyan said faintly, "At first, I thought that this was something written in Mandarin novels. If I want to attack the city, I don't care what kind of card you have … Today, I know that it's based on reality."
Park Soyeon didn't react for a moment. "Based on what?"
Tang Jinyan tilted his head and looked at her face for a long time. He said seriously, "So the Battle Avoidance Card is round."
