Chapter 377: Refusal and Promise
At eight o'clock in the evening, Kim Tae-hee left Jang Sung-won's apartment, originally Jang Sung-won wanted to stay her for a few more hours, preferably the whole night, but Kim Tae-hee had a party at home tonight, and Jang Sung-won made another appointment to meet Lee Ji-hyun, so they were temporarily separated. Zhang Chengyuan's heart couldn't help but feel pity.
Soon after Kim Tae-hee left, Lee Ji-hyun came to Jang Sung-won's apartment. This time she came to Zhang Chengyuan's apartment, Li Zhixian was a little reluctant, she was afraid that Zhang Chengyuan would use some tricks to take advantage of her this time, and even asked her directly. But Zhang Chengyuan called her to come, and she couldn't help but come, otherwise who knew what moths Zhang Chengyuan would come up with.
However, she was wrong, Zhang Chengyuan came to her this time, not to grab her body, but for another purpose, of course, if he had the opportunity to win Li Zhixian tonight, he would never let it go.
Sitting opposite Zhang Chengyuan across a large coffee table, Li Zhixian asked straight to the point: "Brother Chengyuan, is there anything wrong with asking me to come today?" β
Zhang Chengyuan bowed his head and said: "Well, it's a bit of a thing, but can you not sit so far?" He patted the position next to him and said, "Sit here, I want to get closer to you." β
Li Zhixian shook his head and refused: "It's not good, if I sit next to you, I will definitely be taken advantage of by you again." β
Zhang Chengyuan sighed lightly: "Zhixian, with your intelligence, you should know that you will become my woman sooner or later, so why resist me getting close to you?" β
Li Zhixian said lightly: "Maybe one day in the future, I will really become your woman, but this day can be one day later." β
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan was stunned and said: "Many of my sisters seem to have had this idea, or are now holding this idea. Tell me why do you think that? "He's always been straightforward. For some sisters who obviously have affection for him, they always refuse to unite with him. Not very understood.
Li Zhixian said: "Do you still need to ask, if I easily agree to sleep with you, what is the difference between it and a call girl?" And it's hard to say what will happen in the future, maybe in a few years you will get disgusted with me and lose interest in me, and if I give you my body now, wouldn't it be a great loss? β
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case!" I thought the other sisters might have similar thoughts. There was a moment of silence. He continued: "Jihyun, if you want to think like this, then I won't force you, but time will prove my sincerity." Also, you must not associate with other men until I say I'm going to let you go! β
"Well, I get that!" Lee Ji-hyun responded. Even if she wants to find other men, if Zhang Chengyuan refuses to let her go, she has no choice, because with Zhang Chengyuan's character and ability. will definitely silently drive out the man she is looking for. So she said yes very simply.
Zhang Chengyuan nodded again and said, "Okay." Let's not talk about that, let's get down to business. β
"Hmm."
"First of all, congratulations on winning the Rookie Star Award at the '07 SBS Acting Awards!"
Li Zhixian said indifferently: "There are nine people who won this award at the same time, and this newcomer award actually doesn't have much weight, you don't need to congratulate me." Still, I'm grateful to you for having Sister Jisoo send me a gift ten days ago. β
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "No thanks, this is what I should do, and strictly speaking, as your man, I really don't do enough to you, if you don't blame me, I'm already very happy!" In addition, I would like to say from the bottom of my heart that it is a great achievement for you to win the Newcomer Award for a first-time actor, and I am very proud of you. β
Li Zhixian said indifferently: "Brother Cheng Yuan, thank you very much for complimenting me, but you shouldn't have called me here specifically to say this to me, right?" Tell me what you want to say! β
She hasn't regarded Zhang Chengyuan as her man, so she never feels that Zhang Chengyuan has to do something for her for granted, and it is impossible to blame him for not paying enough attention to her, and the last time she met her was three months ago. In addition, at this time, she didn't want to talk to Zhang Chengyuan on this topic, she just wanted to finish what she had to say as soon as possible, and then leave Zhang Chengyuan's apartment early.
Zhang Chengyuan saw that she didn't have the heart to chat with him, so he sighed lightly and said, "Well, then I'll tell you straight, Zhixian, are you interested in coming to my company?" β
Li Zhixian was stunned after hearing this, looked at Zhang Chengyuan in disbelief, and said, "Brother Chengyuan, are you going to let me change jobs?" Aren't you afraid that Deputy Park Byung-yeol will settle accounts with you? He worked hard to train you to become a big star, but you want to poach the artists of his company? You're too, too deserved, right? β
Zhang Chengyuan said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will discuss it with Brother Park, and I will definitely give him enough compensation to satisfy him." All you have to do is tell me if you would like to transfer to my company? β
Li Zhixian groaned: "I want to ask why you want to sign me?" With my quality, acting skills, and popularity, it seems that there is nothing worth your attention, right? Your current company's Sister Yazhong, Enhui, Sister Li Zhen and Huibin, each of them is stronger or even much stronger than me, I don't think it's necessary for you to sign a contract with me, a rookie actor who doesn't have much future. β
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I won't lie to you, I don't care how much you will achieve in the entertainment industry in the future, I just want to try my best to sign every woman I like to my company, so as to take care of them as much as possible." β
"For what?"
"Because I don't want them to have too hard a hard time in the entertainment industry, and I don't want to see them work hard for several years without making any money. In addition, after signing up with my company, I have a lot more opportunities to meet with them. β
Li Zhixian said: "There are still many of your sisters who have not signed a contract with your company, why don't you go to them, but look for me?" β
Zhang Chengyuan said: "You are a rookie actor, and the liquidated damages are the lowest, while the liquidated damages of other sisters, such as Sister Xiaoli, Sister Taixi and others, are often billions, and I can't afford to pay them for the time being." First easy and then harder, so I'll look for you first! And if you and I are separated immediately, it also makes me feel most uneasy. β
Li Zhixian thought for a while and said, "I understand your kindness." But. I have no plans to leave Logosfilm for the time being. Although the terms of the contract I signed now are not as generous as the contract you gave to Li Zhenjie and them, I am already very satisfied. And Representative Park treats me very well now, and I don't want to turn my back on him.
In addition, after you left Logosfilm, I was the most valued artist in Logosfilm, but if I joined your company, I was the least valued, so the contrast was too great. Therefore, I have no intention of leaving Logosfilm for the time being. At least not until the expiration of the current contract. β
Zhang Chengyuan was suspicious: "You don't want me to take care of you, so you don't want to sign my company?" He didn't believe much of the reasons Lee Ji-hyun said, at least he didn't think the reasons she gave were the most important ones.
Li Zhixian's eyes flashed slightly: "Of course not, didn't I get your care in the past?" How can I mind if you take care of me? And I hope you can continue to help me in the future, such as recommending me for certain TV drama roles, contacting me for commercials, etc., I will be happy to do so. β
After a pause, she said in a deep voice: "Brother Cheng Yuan, let's postpone the signing of the contract for the time being, and wait for my current contract to expire in three years." I'll go back to your company. Well, if you're still welcome to me. β
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I am naturally welcome at any time!" Well. Jihyun, since you plan to do so, then I won't force it, I'll wait for you for another three years, and I hope you won't miss your appointment then. β
Li Zhixian has always been very assertive, once a decision is made, it is not something that others can persuade, so at this time, as soon as she made a decision, Zhang Chengyuan stopped persuading him with interest. Of course, this is also because Lee Ji-hyun is really doing well under Park Byungyeol.
Immediately, Zhang Chengyuan continued: "In addition, I hope you will become my woman, not in three years!" After all, three years is too long, I can't wait, maybe one day I can't wait impatiently, and I may come hard! β
Li Zhixian glanced at Zhang Chengyuan calmly and said, "Brother Chengyuan, don't you have confidence in your charm, don't you believe that you can make me willing to be your woman in three years?" She didn't want Zhang Chengyuan to force her, so she wanted to "tie up" Zhang Chengyuan with words.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's not that I don't have confidence in my charm, but I don't have confidence in my time, you also know how busy my work is, how can I have time to capture your heart?" In addition, I am also afraid that you will avoid me all the time so that I will not see you, and then I will not be able to make you follow me willingly. So......" he paused deliberately.
Li Zhixian said quietly: "So what do you want me to do?" β
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I want you to take the initiative to come to see me at least two or three times a month, instead of asking me to go to you or ask you out every time like now, so that you are willing to see me!" β
Li Zhixian thought for a moment and said: "I can agree to this, but even if I come to you, you may not have time, there are so many women and sisters you have to take care of!" She slightly sarcastically said to Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan ignored her taunts and said, "I don't mind not being able to be alone with you, as long as you can come and see me." So you can come to me from time to time with other sisters like Eun Hye, Hye Bin, and Dohae, so that you can save me some time. β
Li Zhixian pondered for a moment and said, "Well, that's fine, so I can be safer!" In her mind, Zhang Chengyuan wouldn't be too intimidating to her in the presence of other sisters, right? At most, it's just a few touches. She didn't really care about that, so she agreed.
Zhang Chengyuan was slightly displeased and said: "You think too much!" You'll be safe even if it's just the two of us, and since I promised not to touch you without your permission, I'll do it! β
Li Zhixian said: "It's hard to say, maybe you deliberately get drunk or play some other trick one day, pretend to be insane, and kill me, then I will lose a lot!" β
Zhang Chengyuan said as if he was serious and joking: "If there really is such a day, then you will accept your fate!" β
Li Zhixian said: "If there is really such a day, then I can only cut off contact with you, because if you can't even fulfill this promise, then I really can't believe that after becoming your woman, you will take care of me for the rest of my life!" Maybe you really think this way now, I also believe this, but I believe that people's hearts will change, maybe one day, you will change your current commitment.
So to strengthen my faith, please keep any of your promises to me now. So that I can convince myself that you can be trusted, and that I can completely commit my life to you, because you have never broken my contract with me! Her expression was still calm, but her tone was noticeably more serious.
Zhang Chengyuan also became serious, and said in a deep voice: "Is this your heart?" That being the case, then I am willing to promise you that I will keep any promise I make to you! β
Although he said it beautifully, Zhang Chengyuan thought in his heart: "Don't make any promises to Zhixian in the future, otherwise you will definitely be forced to be embarrassed by her." This girl's temperament is really bad! Fortunately, I only made one promise to her before, and with today's one, there are only two, so it shouldn't make any difference. Well, except for Jihyun, I can't make promises to other sisters, otherwise if I can't do it, I'll be in trouble! β
While Zhang Chengyuan was thinking, Li Zhixian said again: "Brother Chengyuan, do you have anything else to tell me?" If not, I'll take my leave. β
Zhang Chengyuan replied: "Oh, are you still fine?" Why are you in a hurry? If it's okay, sit with me for a while. It's rare for us to get together. β
Li Zhixian said in his heart: "I will sit with you for a while, I'm afraid that you will take the opportunity to be presumptuous to me again." Then he refused: "Well, I do have something, I originally made an appointment with Sister Ya and Enhui, if you hadn't come to me temporarily, I should be with them now." The meeting isn't over yet, and I'd like to go over and catch up with them. β
Zhang Chengyuan said: "You guys are quite idle now, and you still have time to gather and chat." Looks like I should find something to do for Masaka and Eun. Maybe you'll come to me a few more times when no one is there to talk to you. β
Li Zhixian said: "I don't only have Sister Li Zhen, Sister Yazhong, Huibin, Duohae, and Enhui, even if they don't have time to talk to me, I can find other friends." So you don't have to play this trick. β
Zhang Chengyuan nodded slightly: "That's right." Well, I won't force you to come to see me more, but you must remember what you promised meβcome to me at least two or three times a month, or you may not keep what I promised you. β
Li Zhixian replied casually, and then got up to leave.
Zhang Chengyuan also stood up, suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed Li Zhixian, held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips a few times, and then said: "By the way, every time we meet in private in the future, you have to let me kiss at least a few times, as the price for you to make me wait for you." β
Li Zhixian was kissed by him and his face was flushed, and he was slightly angry, but he couldn't do anything about him, so he had to glare at him, and then left without saying a word. (To be continued......)
