Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Li Shuo and Iwasaki Junko sat opposite each other, and their conversation gradually changed from polite to intimate.

Moreover, although they were chatting, both of them spoke in soft voices, and their tone could be described as delicate, quiet and gentle. This made Xu Yike, who was sitting behind Li Shuo, feel eye-opening. Ever since she met Iwasaki Junko, she had no idea how to start a conversation!

Because I always feel that I will be completely crushed by Iwasaki Junko as soon as I open my mouth, especially in terms of temperament. Iwasaki Junko's elegance from the inside out is even more "outrageous" than the white and rich South Korean beauty Choi Yoon-jeong that Xu Yi has seen. She is like a solitary orchid in a valley, making people feel mysterious and profound, as elegant as a lily, and as noble as a peony.

After a long pause, Xu Yike just listened to Li Shuo's constant compliments to Iwasaki Junko, until the latter mentioned Li Shuo's masterpiece in Beijing, and she suddenly became curious: Works? Is Li Shuo also a writer?

At this time, I heard Junko Iwasaki say, "Although "Ordinary Disco" sounds like a disco song, I think it's nice, so it's naturally good music... Good music, of course, needs to be sung around the world. I heard that Sony Music is interested in signing Li Jun, but when I contacted Shuoguo Culture, I was always rejected. I met Li Jun today, and I'm a little curious about what Li Jun's intention is?"

Li Shuo looked thoughtful. He didn't just reject Sony Music, he rejected all the companies that wanted to sign this song.

At that time, Li Shuo was planning to release his own album in the future, or even make a "Li Shuo Album", which would make him feel a sense of accomplishment when he listened to it.

But after what happened in recent days, Li Shuo felt that he was trapped in mundane affairs again. He actually didn't want to bother with it anymore, so it seemed like a good choice to hand over the "album" to a professional music company for distribution.

"Junko, you know I have an agency and my own studio, so I originally wanted to release it myself..."

"Original intention? So what about now?"

Li Shuo smiled, looked at Xu Yike and said, "Ms. Xu, why have you remained silent? Didn't you ask to see Junzi because you have something to ask?"

On the way here, he had naturally explained the purpose of this trip to Xu Yike. So to speak, he naturally wanted to "cooperate" with Xu Yike so that he could promote cooperation from a third-party perspective.

Xu Yike still had some basic skills, so she quickly spoke up and explained Leng Wen's plan to organize an art exhibition. Finally, she said to Iwasaki Junko sincerely, "Ms. Iwasaki, if the Yaobian Tianmu can appear in the exhibition, we will definitely put it in the most eye-catching position so that more people can experience Japanese culture and know the reputation of our ancestors! Of course, if Miss Iwasaki is willing to help, we can discuss the relevant rental fees..."

Iwasaki Junko looked thoughtful, but she did not talk to Xu Yike. Instead, she looked at Li Shuo and said, "Mr. Li, I am a little disappointed in you. I didn't expect you to come to me for such a thing..."

Li Shuo asked for help in a humble manner, saying, "To you, Chunzi, this is just a small matter, but to Lengwen Company, it is very important. You don't know that I am a shareholder of this company. Since I know that I can contribute to the company, I naturally ask you to do something."

"I've always thought you were a man who wouldn't ask for help easily, but I didn't expect you to be so flexible. Mr. Li, I think highly of you now."

Iwasaki Junko praised first, then smiled and said, "I don't know much about Yaobian Tianmu. The only impression I have is that my grandfather played with it when I was a child. So, I can't agree to your request for the time being..."

Li Shuo nodded again: "It makes sense. I understand. Then, do you need me to contact Mr. Uemura Tomiaki, the director of the National Museum of China? I think you can hear the whole story from him..."

"This is not urgent..."

Iwasaki Junko's tone rarely fluctuated, and she said with a hint of pouting: "It's been a long time since we last met, don't you want to chat with me for a while?"

Xu Yike's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets in shock, but Li Shuo's heart was calm. He really had no thoughts about Iwasaki Junko from the beginning to the end.

No matter how beautiful she is or how good her temperament is, the identity of this rich and beautiful woman is too complicated. Li Shuo has seen women of this level before. Is it necessary for him to get himself into such a big trouble?

He smiled and responded, "Of course not, it's just that Miss Iwasaki raised this topic and it's hard for me to respond..."

Iwasaki Junko looked him straight in the eyes. "Mr. Li, you have achieved your current career because you are really ambitious. Even Sony Music, the world's number one, cannot satisfy you, yet you want to release the albums yourself and take over all of them. But you need to know that the development of Shuoguo Culture takes time. You are gaining both fame and fortune now, and you will have both fame and fortune in five years. These are two completely different concepts..."

Li Shuo had a deep understanding of this, but he would not agree with the other party. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "The same is true for Yaobian Tianmu. This matter is good for both you and me. As far as I know, there is no harmony within the Iwasaki family. This matter should be caused by the obstruction of the local faction of the family. Miss Iwasaki, you also need to be more cautious about it..."

How to guard against it? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We should cooperate with him.

Iwasaki Junko naturally understood, but like Li Shuo, she was a person with great ambitions, so she did not agree at the moment, but instead talked to Li Shuo about music.

Seeing this, Li Shuo simply relaxed and talked with Iwasaki Junko from "Ordinary Disco" to "Dala Bangba", and even introduced his own "translated" song "Unforgivable"...

When talking about music, Iwasaki Junko seemed to be completely immersed in the topic. She even talked to Li Shuo about musical instruments, especially Chinese classical musical instruments. Then the topic of the two of them somehow came to "Liuqin". She smiled and said to Li Shuo: "(Kurokawa) Miho likes these instruments very much, and she has been trained in this area since she was a child. Recently, she also composed a song with Liuqin... It's a pity that Miho is not here today, otherwise I must let Li Jun appreciate it..."

"It turns out that Ms. Kurokawa is also a musician. When the college store opened, I had the honor of listening to her play "Sea of ​​Spring". The rhythm is indeed very unique. I like it very much..."

"It's a waste of her talent to be the store manager there, but this is only a temporary expedient. After the affairs in China are sorted out, I will let her concentrate on doing what she likes."

The two of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice the sky gradually darkening outside. Xu Yike was listening attentively, because these conversations had opened the door to a new world for this proud daughter of Fudan University:

In the past, she thought she was very good and that she just needed to enjoy herself for the rest of her life. But when she heard about Li Shuo's achievements and Iwasaki Junko's interests and hobbies, she found that the gap between herself and these two people was like heaven and earth.

That huge sense of gap made Xu Yike feel that seducing Li Shuo was extremely ridiculous, as if it was a female monkey seducing a man. They were not the same species at all.

It was not until Li Shuo stood up that she seemed to wake up from a dream. She hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Li Shuo and Iwasaki Junko. She heard the Japanese woman smile and said, "Miss Xu, please rest assured. Mr. Li and I have a special friendship. I will carefully consider the matter of Yaobian Tianmu..."

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Ms. Iwasaki."

Xu Yike's smile was forced, and his figure looked a little embarrassed as he left with Li Shuo.

After getting in the car, Li Shuo asked her, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't you seem to be talking much in there?"

Xu Yike naturally wouldn't say what he really thought. After thinking for a while, he said half-truthfully, "I always feel that Iwasaki Junko is so high and mighty, and she seems far away from me. Besides, why do we have to use the national treasure of Japan? We have a lot of treasures of our own..."

Li Shuo said casually: "Of course there are quite a few, but the problem is that I don't have any clues in a short period of time..."

"All right"

Seeing Xu Yike's listless look, Li Shuo suggested, "It's still early, what would you like to eat later?"

Is this a solo date?

Xu Yike was immediately cheered up: Although they are not "the same species", if a human pursues a female monkey, there is no reason for the female monkey to refuse.

She immediately smiled brightly, and her voice became sweet and sticky: "As long as I'm with Mr. Li, anything is fine..."

"Okay, let's go back to the company first and pick up Shi Haotian later. Tonight will be our group dinner."

"Um, okay." Although she didn't get the result she wanted, Xu Yike was slightly cheered up because she was stimulated in a short period of time. When she returned to the company and appeared in front of Shi Haotian and other colleagues, she had regained the demeanor of a beautiful woman in the workplace.

"Brother Shi, Mr. Li asked us to have dinner together after get off work. Please notify the others..."

"Dinner party?"

Shi Haotian was a little unhappy. Office workers are quite sensitive about this kind of thing taking up their rest time, especially when they have to have dinner with their leaders.

Seeing his expression, Xu Yike frowned and scolded: "What are you thinking about? President Li is not the team leader of your HR department. They are inviting us to a dinner, so it must be a top-notch occasion. Don't dawdle, hurry up..."

After handing the task over to Shi Haotian, Xu Yike found an empty room and went in, then dialed the number of her best friend Cui Yunzhen.

"Jeong-yoon, let me ask you something. Do you have any national treasures in South Korea?"

Iwasaki Junko brought too much stimulation to Xu Yike, which made her instinctively feel hostile. Then she thought of Choi Yun-jeong, the only person around her who could be considered to have a comparable status to Iwasaki Junko. She called Choi Yun-jeong with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

But Xu Yike didn't know that although South Korea is small, it is extremely proud of its history. A piece of paper or a needle can be treated as a national treasure. Upon hearing this, Cui Yunzhen immediately began to introduce it in a torrent of words.

"Oh, I don't know about this either. As Miss SK, does the Choi family have this kind of national treasure?"

"There really is one, but I don't know if it belongs to our Cui family. It's mainly because it's quite special..."

Xu Yike immediately became alert upon hearing this and started asking in details.

It was finally confirmed that the item was a national treasure, but Choi Yoon-jeong did not have the same status as Iwasaki Junko, so she could not take the item out.

"Hey, I thought you... Never mind. After all, it's a national treasure. It's understandable that it can't be exhibited..."

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly asking about the national treasure?"

"It's like this. Today I met a woman named Iwasaki Junko. How can I describe her? Her aura alone can overwhelm people. It's very annoying to see her. And the Lengwen company where I'm interning has a task for her... Anyway, I just don't feel comfortable asking for help, so I want to ask you for help."

"A woman from the Iwasaki family? I seem to have heard of her. She is indeed quite unpleasant... Well, I will go back and ask about the situation to see what conditions and procedures are required to get that thing out..."

"Really? Thank you so much, Jeongyoon!"

"You're welcome. We're all friends."

Although it is a national treasure, it only takes a few days to put it on display, and it is a trivial matter as long as security measures are taken.

Of course, Cui Yunzhen didn't want to agree at first, but if she was competing with Iwasaki Junko, it would be different. After she came to Lenghai to study abroad, she kept hearing her family members talk about how the other party was so young, but had already started working hard for the family and had developed a huge business in China. This made Cui Yunzhen very unhappy!

……

At 5 pm, Shi Haotian and others gathered downstairs of the company. Li Shuo greeted everyone and then led everyone into Leng Wen's business car.

Just as Xu Yike said, when Li Shuo invited everyone to dinner, he naturally chose a good place, the best restaurant nearby, and got a large private room for the group of 12 people. Both Chinese and Western food were served. When the delicious food was served like water, Li Shuo raised his wine glass and said something like "let's unite and work hard", and then the banquet began.

"Mr. Li has become a shareholder of Lengwen at such a young age. Let me offer you a toast..."

"I heard that Mr. Li is also Leng Yi's assistant to the board of directors. This is a leadership position..."

"Mr. Li, I'd like to offer you a toast, too."

After all, Li Shuo looked young and not very dignified. As soon as he sat down, Shi Haotian and others came up to him.

One advantage of socializing with subordinates is that you don't have to drink if you don't want to. Of course, you have to speak nicely, otherwise it will not be worth it to offend your subordinates.

Li Shuo was just about to refuse when he saw Xu Yike stand up and take the initiative to block the wine for him: "What are you doing? Are you bullying our CEO Li? Come, I'll do it for CEO Li..."

Li Shuo thought this was a "drinking hero", but he didn't expect that everyone's faces changed the next moment. Shi Haotian was the first to turn against him and said, "I can't bully a woman. Forget it, let's drink some red wine..."

"Yes, yes, Yike, don't drink too much."

"Why do you drink so much alcohol as a girl?"

It seems that Xu Yike was sure that no one would ask her to drink, so she took the initiative to refuse the drink?

Li Shuo looked at this group of men and found that each of them was shy and timid in front of Xu Yike, acting like a typical dog-licker.

In an instant, he knew what was going on.

At this time, Xu Yike took a sip of red wine and said to him with a smile:

"Mr. Li, this red wine tastes good. Did you pick it yourself?"

"Latour imported from France, produced by a second-class winery, everyone should try it, the taste is pretty good..."

Xu Yike's eyes lit up: "Imported by the winery? Wouldn't that be very expensive! I heard that the wines produced by the first-class wineries are already world-famous wines."

"Fortunately, the group purchase price is around 1500."

Xu Yike praised happily: "Boss Li has a good eye!"

Li Shuo touched his nose and said, "Uh, it has nothing to do with me. These matters are handled by the people below..."
