Looking at Pu Chulong's dumbfounded expression, Tang Jinyan smiled. "What's wrong?
Do you want to make that kind of deal?
That's good … "
"No, no, no!" Pu Chulong jumped up as if she got an electric shock. "I accept!"
"Which one?"
"Both!"
"Oh … Then you decide," Tang Jinyan said lightly. "It's late. Let's eat here. I'll get someone to send you back later."
Pu Chulong didn't want to eat with him, but she couldn't refuse. She scratched her head and said, "Okay."
The two sat at the table. Soon, a waiter came in to deliver the food. To Pu Chulong's surprise, it wasn't a high-end Western food, but a simple porridge and side dishes.
"Just tell me if you don't like it. Ask them to prepare something else."
"No, no, no. It's very tasty!" Pu Chulong couldn't say anything else. She picked up the chopsticks in a hurry.
Tang Jinyan didn't say anything. He ate the porridge and side dishes slowly. Pu Chulong ate with him in silence. She felt strange.
It wasn't that she wanted to eat a big meal. She really felt that the porridge and side dishes didn't fit at all in this place. It was too out of place.
Was he thinking of her as another person? Was he thinking about something?
"Don't think too much."
Tang Jinyan suddenly said. "I've been socializing for a long time. When I'm at my own place, I just want to eat something light to nourish my stomach.
Even if you don't stay, I'll eat the same way. "
Pu Chulong's heart trembled.
Not to mention that his condition was retarded. This was not a kindergarten … His eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He even knew what she was thinking.
"If possible, I don't want to invite you to the New Village Club."
Tang Jinyan said again. "It's just that this place is more formal. It's a business meeting. Compared to other restaurants, it's less ambiguous. It can dispel some of your blind thoughts.
But I underestimated the impact you'll receive in this place. You're shocked. Maybe you'll think more blindly. It's the opposite of what you want. "
Pu Chulong lowered her head and ate the porridge awkwardly.
She did think a lot …
"Of course, maybe you think the condition is retarded. How is it formal?
It's just that you still have feelings for Jung Eun-thi … "
Pu Chulong didn't know how to respond. He had said everything. How could she say anything?
"Perhaps I had the intention of teasing Zheng Endi …" Tang Jinyan said faintly, "What if I told you that I was only selling face to you, Pu Chulong?
Pu Chulong looked at him in astonishment.
Tang Jinyan did not say anything. He just smiled and pointed to her porridge. "Eat."
Pu Chulong, Chulong Chulong...
Of course, she didn't think that she had that much face. She also didn't think that he was courting her. If he wanted her, why would he need to go through so much trouble?
As long as one thought about it from a healthy perspective, it was easy to think of Park Suk Yeon. How similar was her identity and situation at that time?
Chchchchchchchchchchchchchch.
Pu Chulong sighed in her heart. She finally understood why Eun-thi couldn't forget him even though they broke up.
After they finished their meal in silence, Tang Jinyan's phone rang.
He glanced at it and picked it up. "Have you found out?"
"Yes. No wonder I didn't hear about it. This matter can't be spread."
"I'm at the New Village Club. Come over and tell me. There are people here who want to listen."
Not long after, Long Ya opened the door and came in. She was surprised to see Pu Chulong.
Pu Chulong stood up and bowed solemnly. "Hello, Director Long Ya."
Long Ya turned sideways. Damn it. Hiding in the room with Brother Nine to eat porridge. I can't accept this.
Tang Jinyan sat back on the sofa and began to make tea. "Sit. I also want to know what Choi Jin-ho is doing."
"The first reason is the conflict between Choi Jin-ho and CUBE.
The members of Apink are basically trainees brought out by Hong Shengcheng from JYP. Choi Jin-ho often feels that Apink isn't his people. If he wants to establish absolute control, he needs to show his authority. Expelling members is obviously a huge nuclear weapon. It's enough to make the other members tremble in fear. "
Pu Chulong's face turned ugly.
Tang Jinyan glanced at her and nodded. He didn't say much. He just poured a cup of tea for Long Ya. "Continue."
"Actually, at the beginning … CUBE arranged for someone else to sing …" Long Ya whispered. "Unexpectedly, Pusan Music Academy recommended Eun-thi. Choi Jin-ho was overjoyed. This is a good chess piece for him to break through CUBE's influence."
Tang Jinyan's right hand paused. "Continue."
"Since the second half of last year, Choi Jin-ho has already had the idea of clearing people from Apink. Other than the captain and Eun-thi, everyone else has been considered … There are many comprehensive factors considered. As for whether their strength is enough, it's just an excuse."
Pu Chulong closed her eyes.
Every time she heard a sentence, she felt a little sad.
The seven sisters fought conscientiously for their dreams. What were they in the eyes of the president?
Even she, who was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of being the captain, and Eun-thi, who was greatly valued, were no exception. Everyone was just a chess piece …
Long Ya continued, "Originally, Hong Yuyao wouldn't have been chosen because the company received funding from Honghe Bell in the early stages. It's too unsightly to burn the bridge after crossing the river.
However, since the end of last year, someone from the top took a fancy to Hong Yuyao. But Honghe Bell isn't made of mud, so it fell into a stalemate.
Choi Jin-ho was also in a dilemma. In the end, he felt that it was troublesome. It's better to get rid of it cleanly … "
Pu Chulong sighed deeply.
She knew where the conflict was, but she was even more powerless.
How could this be something they could handle by themselves?
The difference between their levels was like heaven and earth.
At this moment, she really felt that she was too naive to have wanted to interfere in this kind of thing.
Fortunately … he could.
Pu Chulong raised her head and looked at Tang Jinyan for help.
Tang Jinyan drank a cup of tea silently. Suddenly, he shook his head and laughed. "Someone from the top?
Who is it? "
"I don't know the details yet. It should be from the same faction as us. He's a little arrogant and doesn't think much of Honghe Bell's business. That's why he's so arrogant."
Tang Jinyan could not help but laugh. "If that's the case, Cui Zhenhao's choice to avoid trouble might also have something to do with us."
Long Ya also laughed. "Maybe.
From many angles, we should be on his side. When the time comes, we'll help clean up the mess. It's a perfect cover. "
Pu Chulong's eyes became anxious, and the pleading look in her eyes became stronger.
Tang Jinyan leaned on the sofa and pondered for a while. Suddenly, he asked, "In your opinion, during the time you were in Acube, won't Apink be better off without Hong Yuyao?"
Long Ya wanted to say that the difference wasn't big.
But when she saw Pu Chulong's eyes, she swallowed the words back and smiled bitterly. "It's better to be intact."
Tang Jinyan nodded. "Alright, I know what to do."
Long Ya immediately said tactfully, "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After watching Long Ya leave, Tang Jinyan looked at Pu Chulong quietly for a while and laughed. "You came to me so anxiously because you're worried that something will happen to Apink.
Then … if you kick Hong Yuyao away and confirm that it won't affect Apink, do you still want to get involved in something you shouldn't be involved in and pay the price? "
Pu Chulong was stunned and fell silent.
Tang Jinyan didn't rush her. He just looked at her quietly.
After a long time, Pu Chulong said with a hoarse voice, "If I'm sure it won't affect Apink … I still want the team to be intact, but I might not be willing to pay a big price for it."
"Very honest, so the price now is just right. You and I both have a clear conscience." Tang Jinyan smiled and reached out his right hand. "The deal is set."
Pu Chulong was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. She stood up and shook his hand solemnly. "Thank you …"
"If you plan to fulfill the terms of the cooperation, remember not to use 'you'." Tang Jinyan blinked. "I'll wait for your photo."
Pu Chulong's face turned red. At this moment, she realized something … When she went back, she had to tell Eun-thi that she had fallen for his charm and couldn't extricate herself.
And she had to prepare to take a photo?
Heavens … How could he say that out loud?
