Chapter 1608 - 646: Revealed Dagger_2
Park Yubin sneered, "Cui Min’er, do I look like a fool to you, being played by you and still spending money to support you every month... But what you don’t know is that the life and death of your entire family has long been in my hands. Do you think you have any leverage to betray me?"
Cui Min’er staggered backward a few steps as if struck by lightning, barely managing to steady herself by holding onto the chair’s back.
But her mind kept buzzing, the color drained from her face.
The betrayal of high school classmates and close friends at most made Cui Min’er feel heartache and disappointment, but when she realized all her family’s tragedies were actually caused by Park Yubin or herself, the blow was almost despairing for her.
She couldn’t help but think, if Zhou Wang knew all this, how would he see her, would he also have thoughts of disdain toward her and her family...
Just then, the delighted Li Lina didn’t forget to add fuel to the fire:
"Cui Min’er, I’m just as curious as Nana, what kind of spell did that man from Huaxia who supports you cast on you to make you dare to trample on Brother Yubin’s feelings like this? Could it be that, in your eyes, he is a better choice than Brother Yubin?"
"His name is Zhou Wang, right?"
Seeing Cui Min’er purse her lips and remain silent, Park Yubin suddenly spoke up.
Cui Min’er was immediately taken aback, looking at Park Yubin.
"Not only do I know his name is Zhou Wang, I also know how much money he has. But then, without money, how could he give you billions of Korean Won?"
Speaking as if to himself, Park Yubin continued, "And moreover, I know that today, he is here too, right in this banquet hall..."
When he said this, a strange smile formed on Park Yubin’s face.
Meanwhile, the originally despairing Cui Min’er was somewhat dazed.
What is he saying... Zhou Wang is here too?
On that day, although Cui Min’er arrived in Seoul with Zhou Wang, she did not follow him to YG Entertainment, and Zhou Wang just told her he was acquiring a small company. Cui Min’er had no idea about YG Entertainment.
So for a while, she couldn’t connect these things together.
And Cui Min’er’s confused expression, in Park Yubin’s eyes, naturally appeared as panic after being exposed.
"Strange, isn’t it?"
Park Yubin sneered, "If I want to find out about someone, no matter which country they’re in, knowing their name is enough... Tsk, it’s really impressive that your Huaxia lover can actually become the new chairman of YG Entertainment, a company with a market value exceeding 300 billion Korean Won!"
Cui Min’er didn’t catch the hidden sarcasm in Park Yubin’s words, she only reacted once the realization hit, her eyes brightened, and a hint of delight appeared on her face.
Zhou Wang... turns out to be the new chairman of YG Entertainment?
Doesn’t that mean, this is his territory?
While Cui Min’er, knowing this fact, was gathering quite a bit of courage, Li Lina and Sun Nana exchanged a glance and burst into laughter as if they thought of something.
When Cui Min’er looked at them in confusion, Li Lina said in an odd tone:
"Min’er, are you happy? What if I tell you that Brother Yubin’s uncle, Mr. Park Jeongyun, happens to be a shareholder of YG Entertainment too?"
"And what if I tell you that Zhou Wang happens to be Mr. Park’s sworn enemy that he must crush?"
Sun Nana also spoke with pity, "You might not have an idea, so let me put it this way... The size of Park Group is probably more than ten times that of YG Entertainment."
At this moment, Park Yubin glanced discontentedly at Sun Nana.
When Sun Nana looked around cluelessly, the more knowledgeable and privileged Li Lina quickly corrected, "It’s more than fifty times the size of YG Entertainment."
Only then did Sun Nana realize she had underestimated, and she felt a bit embarrassed, but fortunately, at this moment, no one paid attention to her embarrassment.
The girls around were exclaiming and praising the financial power of the Park Group, while the color that had just returned to Cui Min’er’s face froze once more.
The Mr. Park Jeongyun they mentioned, Cui Min’er knew as well; he was Park Yubin’s biological uncle and a prominent figure in the Park Group. She had seen him several times, and normally arrogant Park Yubin didn’t even dare breathe loudly in front of him.
Regarding the size comparison between Park Group and YG Entertainment, although Cui Min’er had no clear concept, she at least knew that the market value of Park Group, which spanned multiple industries, must far exceed that of YG Entertainment.
As a well-established financial tycoon, the capabilities of the Pak Family in Korea were beyond doubt.
Cui Min’er knew that if they were in Huaxia, Zhou Wang might not fear Park Jeongyun, but this was Seoul, Korea...
Just as Cui Min’er’s mind was in turmoil, thinking about how to quickly alert Zhou Wang, Park Yubin glanced at his phone, then suddenly excitedly stood up, the sneer at the corners of his mouth becoming more pronounced.
"Ha, Uncle is finally here, let’s go, I’ll take you all to watch a good show... bring Cui Min’er along, I want her to see with her own eyes her lover kneeling and weeping before me."
...
In the public lounge, Zhou Wang frowned slightly.
Not because there was anything wrong with the Lucky Strike in his hand; in fact, it seemed to be even smoother than the ones back home...
The reason for Zhou Wang’s sudden unpleasant mood was the two uninvited guests who had suddenly entered the lounge.
One of them wore a strapless gown with white feather designs, exuding the aura of an elf, but the moment she saw Zhou Wang, her expression turned sour as she was about to take out an e-cigarette.
The other girl wore slim-waisted wide-legged jeans with a ponytail, and on her top was a scanty triangular strap that revealed a sexy belly button and a slender, toned waist, exuding a bold vibe.
In a formal banquet supposed to be dominated by evening gowns, her outfit stood out as unconventional and eye-catching, but given her status and family background, it seemed beyond reproach.
These two were Rose and Jennie, whom Zhou Wang has never formally met.
Indeed, from Ao Island to Seoul, even though Zhou Wang has become the chairman of YG Entertainment, and despite the entanglements with BlackPink having taken several turns, to date he still hasn’t had a true encounter with Rose and Jennie, who could arguably be considered the main instigators.
This was the first private meeting between them.
But obviously, the moment they saw Zhou Wang, they recognized him.
Even though they had never met, they had seen Zhou Wang’s photo and information many times. Coupled with Zhou Wang’s strikingly handsome features, this recognition process was effortless.
Rose had looks of disdain, contempt, and displeasure written all over her face, while Jennie was slightly better; she just glanced at Zhou Wang and then looked away, as if he didn’t exist.
"Is this how you treat the chairman?"
Zhou Wang extinguished the cigarette, speaking calmly.
He was a bit puzzled, particularly about Jennie, since Han Suying should still be trying every means to seek his forgiveness. Didn’t Jennie know her mother’s stance?
Or had Han Suying become bold enough to play a "face-to-face cooperation, behind-the-scenes opposition" game with him?
"Just a temporary chairman."
Rose pouted, vaguely insinuating, "Maybe you won’t last through tonight, becoming the chairman with the shortest tenure and the most ridicule in YG Entertainment’s history..."
"So Park Jeongyun plans to embarrass me tonight... well, I’m looking forward to it."
Zhou Wang dismissed it with a laugh.
At this moment, Jennie furrowed her brows, and for some reason, she stopped Rose from further mockery, seriously telling Zhou Wang:
"Mr. Zhou Wang, I don’t understand why you’re insistently opposing Mr. Park. I just heard Chairman An say you might have roped in Chairman Jiang, but this is Seoul. You can’t contend against Mr. Park."
"So?"
Zhou Wang found himself a bit at a loss, unable to grasp the intention behind Jennie’s words.
"If you’re willing to give up the position of chairman of YG Entertainment and go back quietly to your Huaxia, I could attempt to persuade my mother to mediate. This way, perhaps Mr. Park wouldn’t make things too difficult for you. Otherwise, against someone like Mr. Park, the price you may have to pay might be beyond your imagination... I’m not just referring to financial losses."
Jennie lifted her smooth chin slightly, with an unconscious pride, seemingly deliberately showcasing cultivation, and in an elegant tone, she said slowly:
"A step back, observing and gauging the situation, would at least be more dignified than persisting despite being head smashed in, wouldn’t it?"
