Chapter 1605 - 645: The Plot Unfolds
"Miss Yun’er, my favorite movie of yours is the one called ’Love Saint.’ The scene in the red dress paying homage to Marilyn Monroe is truly classic, and it left a deep impression on me..."
"Boss, that was Clara who acted in it."
Sura, unable to take it any longer, had to interrupt Zhou Wang.
Zhou Wang, who was chatting away with the pure and sweet-looking woman in front of him, suddenly froze.
"Which movie did Lin Yun’er act in?"
"A rather famous drama called ’Black Talk Lawyer’..."
Xu Wenqian, unable to hold it in either, tightly pressed her lips together to stop herself from laughing, and quietly reminded him.
"Then hurry up and translate, remember to replace ’Love Saint’ with that ’Black Talk Lawyer’ you mentioned."
Zhou Wang smiled without changing his expression, while gritting his teeth.
But Zhou Wang thought he couldn’t be blamed; Clara and Lin Yun’er do look a bit alike, right? Oh, when you look closely, you’ll notice Lin Yun’er’s chest seems more squeezed, while Clara’s seems much larger...
Zhou Wang glanced at Lin Yun’er’s evening gown chest area and discovered some subtle differences.
He could only be thankful that he was speaking Chinese, requiring translation, otherwise, it’d be too embarrassing.
Actually, Xu Wenqian and Sura didn’t quite understand, because Zhou Wang’s Korean proficiency had skyrocketed recently. He no longer needed a translator as his verbal exchanges posed no major obstacles, yet at today’s banquet, Zhou Wang still insisted on speaking Chinese.
They didn’t understand Zhou Wang’s mentality... In private settings it’s not crucial, but at formal occasions like this, Zhou Wang believed he must adhere to using his official language.
It stems from a sense of national pride; all high-profile figures do this... you can reference various international conferences.
Even though she didn’t understand, Xu Wenqian still complied with Zhou Wang’s request, honestly repeating it in Korean to the smiling and attentive Lin Yun’er.
Lin Yun’er’s bright eyes flashed, and she sweetly said, "Thank you for the praise... But actually, it’s alright, you’re not the first Huaxia person to confuse me with Clara."
Lin Yun’er said this in Chinese.
The scene instantly fell silent.
Zhou Wang froze, while beside him, Sura and Xu Wenqian’s shoulders shook, clearly struggling to hold back laughter.
"So Miss Yun’er can speak Chinese!"
Zhou Wang could only give a dry laugh.
"Boss, Miss Yun’er often goes to Huaxia for various events. She even appeared on ’Happy Camp’ and filmed TV dramas in Huaxia, so her Chinese proficiency must be very good..."
At this moment, Xu Wenqian whispered.
Zhou Wang couldn’t help but glare at her, his words had an obvious implication... Why didn’t you mention this sooner?
Xu Wenqian could only blink innocently at Zhou Wang, her gaze clearly indicating... You didn’t ask me!
"I indeed studied Chinese very early on; it’s become my second mother tongue."
The smile in Lin Yun’er’s eyes was also apparent, but she quickly added with a slightly teasing tone, "Though I won’t blame Chairman Zhou’s face blindness, confusing me with Sister Clara still makes me quite sad..."
Clara had to venture to Huaxia after failing to hook up with the boss and biting back bitterly, resulting in an unfavorable reputation in Korea. Though Zhou Wang wasn’t aware of these gossip tales, he knew Clara must have reasons for being unable to fare well in Korea given just a bit of thought, so he promptly apologized sincerely.
"I’m sorry, in fact, I haven’t watched her films; it was just a shallow impression that led to the mix-up. With Miss Yun’er’s beauty, how could anyone be compared?"
"So in Chairman Zhou’s eyes, am I somewhat special then?"
Lin Yun’er seemed quite pleased with Zhou Wang’s reply, proceeding to ask.
"Of course... I used to be a die-hard fan of Girls’ Generation."
After Zhou Wang finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Sura and Xu Wenqian. Seeing no unusual expressions on their faces, he knew he hadn’t misspoken this time... Lin Yun’er indeed came from "Girls’ Generation."
After a few more laughs, Lin Yun’er politely exchanged private contact information with Zhou Wang before departing.
Watching Lin Yun’er, whose aura was pure, leave while trailing the hem of her dress, both Sura and Xu Wenqian subtly curled their lips, exchanging glances with each other, finding three words in each other’s eyes:
"Fox spirit."
How could Lin Yun’er, already in her thirties, truly be as innocent and pure as her appearance suggests? Yet it’s undeniable that her strongly youthful features are quite misleading, and her legs, straight like chopsticks, also exert great pressure on them.
However, as time went on, both Sura and Xu Wenqian gradually became a bit desensitized.
As one of the hosts of the banquet, those at the fringes outside weren’t noteworthy, but for those eligible to enter the main hall, greeting Zhou Wang and getting acquainted with the newly appointed chairman of YG Entertainment was necessary courtesy.
Plus, Korea’s entertainment circle isn’t large, and neither is Korea itself. Even though the invitation wasn’t extended to the whole industry, at least one-third of the insiders there, being in Seoul, turned up for the event.
For celebrities, exposure equals everything. Even if they hadn’t received an invitation, they’d still find ways to join the banquet... Not to mention this was the inaugural party of one of the Big Three, YG Entertainment’s chairman.
This meant... Today, there was an exceptionally high number of Korean actresses present.
Lin Yun’er, who asked Zhou Wang for private contact information, was just the beginning.
