Chapter 7: No Death, No Life

Dong Yang straightened his back and stared motionlessly at the woman sitting opposite him. Before yesterday, he was still thinking that if there was anyone in this world who could remain unchanged forever, Xue Jingrong must be one of them. When this woman first entered college as a freshman, she could directly confront any teacher, including the homeroom teacher, and even the professor. She was never absent from class for roll call and always had red lights in all subjects in exams, but she could still graduate safely, which was enough to show how awesome her father was.

Someone like Xue Jingrong, born a winner in life, probably didn't need to change. Dong Yang still remembered that just when he had just finished this plan and was exhausted from running around with his team, Xue Jingrong was driving her flashy convertible through the streets, calmly crossing her legs in front of the traffic police. After admiring the young traffic police's embarrassed expression, she finally impatiently threw a check to the traffic police on the other side, then raised her slender eyebrows and sneered coldly: "Anything that can be settled with money is not a big deal to me. How much fine you want, just write it yourself." After saying that, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away. At that time, there were still some ignorant juniors around him who envied Xue Jingrong's coolness, but in Dong Yang's heart, this woman had completely given up on treatment. No, even if she wanted to treat it now, no doctor would be willing to treat her.

Dong Yang, who didn't rely on any family support but relied entirely on his own abilities, started working part-time as a student and even worked as an intern after graduation, and then worked his way up to his current position as a radio planner. He looked down on second-generation rich people like Xue Jingrong. Of course, Dong Yang did have the capital to despise Xue Jingrong. He had only graduated for a little over a year, and in a place like South Korea that values ​​seniority, he was able to achieve his current success, which was indeed much better than the idle Xue Jingrong.

Dong Yang's first reaction to Xue Jingrong's transformation, which was like a complete makeover, was that the sun had risen from the west. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes yesterday, he would never have believed that Xue Jingrong, a woman who was terminally ill, would one day recover without any medicine. It was simply a fairy tale. So when Zhang Zhiyao wanted to drag him to dinner with Xue Jingrong yesterday, he was not happy at all. Dong Yang would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than that Xue Jingrong could do business. But Jingrong's every move last night made him suspicious. Dong Yang was actually a very cautious person. As soon as he parted with Zhang Zhiyao last night, he went back to his office without stopping and re-did the dinner. After checking the new information, he found out all the big moves made by Xue Group and its Jinxiu Nianhua Hotel. Only then did he realize that Xue Jingrong had really turned over a new leaf - Dong Yang believed not Xue Jingrong, but Xue Jingrong's father. Even if Xue Jingrong made trouble, the chairman of Xue Group would not accompany her. The current chairman of Xue Group not only publicly expressed his support for his daughter's decision, but also secretly fostered Xue Jingrong's power. He even transferred one of his most trusted assistants to Xue Jingrong. It can be seen that he is very attentively cultivating a successor. Looking at Chairman Xue's current actions, we can see his intention. When Xue Jingrong is fully grown, it will be the day for him to completely give up power.

Dong Yang spent the entire evening analyzing numerous issues before finally deciding on Xue Jingrong. Without even taking a break, Dong Yang hurried home to shower and, without even having time to contact Zhang Zhiyao, drove to Jinxiu Nianhua. Xue Jingrong's beautiful secretary politely invited him to the conference room, and soon Xue Jingrong arrived.

Even now, watching Jing Rong meticulously reviewing the documents, Dong Yang still sighed in disbelief. If possible, he really wanted to remind Jing Rong to take her medicine every day, so as not to become the annoying person she used to be. However, he didn't dwell on it for too long. Jing Rong quickly finished reading the plan. As soon as she closed the plan book, Dong Yang sat up straight for no reason and acted awkwardly: "President Xue..."

Jing Rong didn't inherit the original owner's bad taste for seeing others feel uneasy, so he immediately extended a hand: "No, we are old classmates, just call me by my name."

Dong Yang nodded and said straight to the point, "Xue Jingrong, what do you think of this plan?" Without waiting for Jingrong to answer, he continued, "You should be aware of the strength of our radio station. There's no need to worry about the ratings. Besides, as you can see, our other partners are all leading companies in their respective industries. Of course, as our local hotel, Jinxiu Nianhua is also a leader. But your consumer group has become the older generation, and the young people who are gradually becoming the mainstream consumer group are completely unfamiliar with it. I think you also need a chance to let Jinxiu Nianhua appear in everyone's sight again, right?"

Jing Rong admitted that Dong Yang had read her mind completely. After she had finished her three major initiatives, the hotel had probably been thoroughly renovated by her, making it a good time to expand business channels. Dong Yang's plan was like an olive branch for her, but that wasn't what she cared about more right now.

Seeing Jingrong was still silent, Dong Yang continued, "Xiao Jingrong, this will definitely be a win-win cooperation. If you can represent the image of Jinxiu Nianhua, I think you should not worry..."

Jing Rong paused, interrupting Dong Yang's boastful speech, and simply asked, "Are you sure that this program is 100% original?"

Dong Yang was stunned for a moment, a little confused about Jing Rong's focus, but he quickly nodded: "I guarantee that it is absolutely original. We did a complete investigation before deciding to use it, and there is no similar program!"

Jing Rong asked again: "Are there really no similar programs? Have you checked Chinese programs as well?"

"Absolutely not, don't worry!"

Jing Rong fell silent again, frowning. Although she'd been a jet-lagged person for so many years and didn't know much else, she had heard of that influential workplace show even from overseas. It was said to be very exciting, so why didn't it seem to be available here? What was going on?

Dong Yang had been somewhat interested in Jing Rong's expression, but seeing her deep in thought, he became uncertain. He had been trying to persuade her, but his eyes met Jing Rong's pensive expression. After a moment's thought, he remained silent. Jing Rong's fingers tapped the table unconsciously, and her frown relaxed. She looked at Dong Yang and said, "I need to think about it. I'll give you an answer next week at the latest."

Dong Yang paused and asked, "We're a bit pressed for time, can we go a little faster..."

Jing Rong shook his head: "I'm on a business trip tomorrow and won't be back until next week."

"Is it... something very important and urgent?"

Jing Rong nodded: "Going abroad for an inspection... How about this, give me your contact information, and I'll contact you at any time if you come back early... By the way, do you mind if I come back this weekend?"

"It's okay, you can come to me anytime."

After the chat, Jing Rong wanted to personally send Dong Yang downstairs and tell his assistant and secretary to prepare for his trip to China tomorrow. As he walked out of the meeting room, the phone rang very appropriately. Seeing the name on the screen, Jing Rong couldn't help but frown, but still smiled apologetically at Dong Yang: "Sorry, something urgent happened..."

Dong Yang shook his head to indicate that it was okay: "Just go ahead and do your thing."

Jing Rong waved to Secretary Lin outside and said, "Secretary Lin, come over and see Mr. Dong off for me..." Then he turned to Dong Yang and said, "I'm so sorry, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Although Jing Rong's expression was indifferent, his words were surprisingly sincere. Dong Yang also relaxed and smiled: "Old classmates, a meal is a must. When will you come back? I will pick you up then.

"It depends."

After saying goodbye to Dong Yang briefly, Jing Rong finally answered the phone before the caller ran out of patience. Before she could even apologize, the person on the other end started complaining, "Honey, I've been calling you for a long time, and you didn't answer..."

Jing Rong frowned again, and on the way back to his office, he brushed past two female employees. He nodded lightly, walked into the office expressionlessly, slammed the door shut, and then said, "Sorry, I was busy with something just now."

There was a hint of imperfection in Jing Rong's tone, but Quan Zhilong heard it clearly. The contrast between how his girlfriend treated him before was so great that he couldn't believe it. He felt that she was just being perfunctory. According to Quan Zhilong's previous attitude, he must have been more impatient than Jing Rong. Quan Zhilong still had no intuitive feeling about Jing Rong's so-called "busyness". Perhaps it was because the original owner's image of a playboy was too deeply rooted in his mind. How could a rich and beautiful woman who made a living by shopping be as busy as him?

However, the amazing thing is that G-Dragon doesn't really mind Jingrong's attitude. For a man, once you arouse his interest, probably other aspects can be ignored. Of course, this also makes her ex look even more pathetic.

Quan Zhilong quickly adjusted his mood, and said in a baby voice with a strong sense of coquettishness: "Honey, I will be back in two days."

"Welcome to Seoul." Jing Rong said lightly. She has now given up any emotion of resisting G-Dragon. These days, she has tried to express her desire to break up to G-Dragon in many ways, such as calling, texting, and emailing. She has tried everything she can, but when the time comes, she is out of control. She can't say what she wants to say, and she can't write it down by hand. She knows that it is Xue Jing Rong who is making trouble. That young lady is always like a corpse, and she can never be calm towards G-Dragon. On the contrary, Jing Rong has been calm from the beginning. Anyway, it is not her who is occupied by the body, so she is not in a hurry.

Jingrong's unusually friendly expression made G-Dragon, who had been benched for so many days, feel flattered. He was even more convinced that Jingrong was just angry at him for not remembering her birthday and not visiting her during her hospitalization. Now, upon hearing that he was coming back, she immediately broke down. Thinking this way, G-Dragon began to look forward to returning to Seoul. He wondered what his lovely girlfriend would do next.

Well, when a man is not interested in you, your playing hard to get is just unreasonable. When he is very interested in you, the so-called unreasonable behavior can also turn into interest - if Jing Rong knew someone's mentality, he only had one thing to say to him: you have to court death to succeed.
