PS: Congratulations to T-ara on her seventh birthday!

Jeju Island, Tang Dynasty Company.
Li Zhengya tragically realized the value of her existence. It was to be chased away.
From Jung Eun-thi to Pu Chulong now, from Cool Spring to Jeju Island.
He brought Pu Chulong to discuss the endorsement deal. However, the person in charge of the negotiation was neither Everland nor Tang Dynasty Company. It was Tang Jinyan himself.
"I'm also a shareholder of Acube. I'll discuss this with myself. You don't have to do anything.
Here, this is a tour ticket to Tang Dynasty Film City. You can have a good time. If you don't want to, here's a plane ticket. Have a nice trip. "
Li Zhengya took a bunch of tickets and went on a trip with public funds …
Pu Chulong sat in Tang Jinyan's office and peeked at him leisurely making tea.
Her heart was beating fast. She had chased her agent away. This matter immediately changed from a self-deceiving business to a private matter. Although it might have been a private matter in the first place …
"This endorsement …" Pu Chulong whispered, "Is it a reward for me?"
"It's not a reward."
Tang Jinyan placed the teacup in front of her and said, "For a girl who has sheltered me from the wind and rain, this is not a small reward."
"I, I just don't want to see you in the rain because of your help. I was impulsive … It's not for …"
Tang Jinyan interrupted, "If you can change the honorifics, we can still talk nicely."
Pu Chulong's voice was cut off in her throat. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip.
She really didn't know how to address Tang Jinyan. No matter what, it was not suitable.
He once hoped that she would call him "third brother-in-law". She didn't. Now that she thought about it, she regretted it …
Tang Jinyan sipped his tea and looked at her for a while. Suddenly, he said, "Is it a tradition of Apink to not call people 'OPPA'?"
"Ah … Ah?"
"Forget it. You can call him President Tang if you want. Just don't use 'sir'."
"… O-okay."
"Have some tea. It's Beiyuan Oolong brought by a partner from China. I heard it's good, but I don't really know how to appreciate it."
"I don't know either … I only know how to drink iced red tea."
Although she said that, Pu Chulong still picked up the cup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea filled her lips and tongue. Her spirit was slightly refreshed, and the tension in her heart seemed to have disappeared. When she looked up at Tang Jinyan again, her face was not so hot anymore.
Tang Jinyan drank his tea and muttered, "Long Ya reported to me that Choi Jin-ho seems to be making things difficult for you.
I have no intention of interfering with Acube's operations because I'm a layman. Interfering could be bad, so it's not appropriate for me to express my opinion in this regard.
This endorsement is very suitable for you. I hope that Choi Jin-ho can understand what I mean through this. "
Pu Chulong said in a low voice, "Thank you … Actually, it's not that important. The president has his own considerations … I was wrong that time. I didn't respect the president too much."
Tang Jinyan said faintly, "Maybe he will support you again after giving you the cold shoulder for a while, so you don't have to worry too much.
But for me, I can't even stand it for a while. "
Pu Chulong bit her lower lip.
She was indeed not too worried about the resources. She didn't even want others to give her special treatment because of her relationship with Tang Jinyan. But Tang Jinyan's attitude made her want to cry.
The so-called "grateful for all the help" and "impulsive" were just excuses to deceive others and herself.
The real reason why she impulsively held an umbrella for him was that she felt sorry for him. She couldn't bear to see him in the rain like that.
She couldn't hide her feelings and couldn't control her impulsive emotions. She really wanted to take care of him. The man who thought he was a man of iron was actually so rough that he never took care of himself.
But she couldn't say this out loud. She didn't want to be the sacrifice of a moth to a flame. She didn't want him to think of Eun-thi when he looked at her.
Just like on his birthday, she was the one who accompanied him. But from the beginning to the end, the shadow of Eun-thi was the one who ran through it.
Finally, he could say, "I can't even stand it for a while."
She couldn't bear to see him in the rain, and he couldn't bear to see her being bullied.
In this corresponding relationship, there was only Tang Jinyan and Pu Chulong.
He felt sorry for Pu Chulong and couldn't bear to see it. In this matter, it had nothing to do with Jung Eun-thi.
"Let's go."
Tang Jinyan stood up and stretched out his hand to her. "The people from Evergreen are in the meeting room. This endorsement is based on their opinions."
Pu Chulong looked at his palm and slowly put her hand on it to stand up.
There was nothing wrong with pulling a lady up. It was a gentleman's action.
But when Pu Chulong stood up and wanted to withdraw her hand, she found that she couldn't move. He was still holding it and didn't let go.
Pu Chulong looked up at him. Tang Jinyan's expression was unreadable.
She lowered her head slightly and didn't say anything. She just let him hold her hand and slowly left the office.
Her small hand was cold and fleshy. It was very comfortable to hold.
His palm was broad and rough, but it was very warm. It was very reassuring to hold.
The two didn't speak all the way. They just walked down the stairs quietly.
*****
This endorsement was relatively simple. It was just an ordinary poster shoot and a short animation CG. The skills were all in the post-production. There was nothing for the actors.
Pu Chulong only took an afternoon to finish the shoot. She turned around and saw Tang Jinyan leaning against the door of the studio. He was smiling at her.
She didn't know why, but seeing him at the door, Pu Chulong felt very relieved. She smiled and greeted him. "Why are you smiling like that?
Am I stupid to shoot? "
"I think you should shoot more children's stuff. That smile of an understanding sister is very suitable for you." Tang Jinyan smiled. "A little girl should look like a little girl.
I said last time that you are very depressed. It's not good. "
Pu Chulong whispered. "At least today, I'm in a good mood."
Tang Jinyan smiled. "Work is done. Let's go. I'll treat you to a big meal."
Tang Jinyan wasn't present during the shoot. He only appeared in the evening. Pu Chulong knew that he had something to do.
She was a little embarrassed. "You don't have to accompany me if you are busy. I can eat by myself."
"How can I be that busy?
No matter how busy I am, I still have to eat. "Tang Jinyan said." It's rare for you to come here. Don't you want to give me a chance to pick up girls? "
Pu Chulong blushed and whispered. "You also know how to say such things. You're really ruining your image."
"Well … I seem to be very serious in front of you, right?"
Tang Jinyan thought for a while and laughed. "Then why didn't you say ruining your image when I said I wanted to take advantage of you?"
"Taking advantage of you with a straight face is something I would do when I first met you. But it's not like picking up girls." Pu Chulong tilted her head. "Is this called contrast cute?"
"That's because you don't know me well." Tang Jinyan smiled. "So, will you give me a chance?"
Pu Chulong pursed her lips and looked at him for a long time. She whispered, "No.
You are not single. "
"Tsk … Really …" Tang Jinyan took her hand and strode out. "Then I'll take advantage of you. Be honest."
Pu Chulong was angry and amused at the same time. She staggered out and was pulled all the way to the car.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they were no longer seated next to each other. It was a formal Western restaurant with a formal private room. Pu Chulong sat across from Tang Jinyan casually, gobbling up the food with grease dripping from her mouth.
Tang Jinyan tilted his head and looked at her. His heart softened.
It was rare to see Pu Chulong relaxed. He also knew why she was in a particularly good mood today.
She usually carried too many things that she shouldn't carry. Today was a rare occasion. She only represented herself.
"By the way, are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes. What's the point of staying after the shooting?"
"Actually, you're just scratching your feet at home. It's better to play in Jeju Island for a few more days."
"… There's a team activity."
"I'll go when there's an activity. I have a plane."
"So what if you have a plane …"
"What if I want you to stay with me?"
The conversation stopped abruptly.
Pu Chulong stuffed her mouth with food and looked at him in a daze. She couldn't respond.
Tang Jinyan said again. "What if I force you to stay with me?"
"Gulp …" Pu Chulong swallowed the food and looked at him in a daze.
Tang Jinyan took a tissue and gently wiped the corners of her mouth. He said in a low voice, "What if I hope … that you can stay and take care of me?"
