Chapter 440 SM Entertainment

"Darling, remember to come see me soon, I'll miss you."

Ivanka looked at Shen Fang with reluctance, kissing him several times. Their time together had made her infatuated with this man. Although she had her best friend with her, it didn't diminish Shen Fang's charm, especially that exhilarating feeling. She was completely captivated. "Aren't Eastern men supposed to be small? Those online rumors are unreliable! He's huge, okay?!"

"Hurry up!" Zhukova pushed Ivanka away and nestled in Shen Fang's arms like a little glutton.

"Darling, how about I go to China with you?" Zhukova now only wanted to be with Shen Fang every day.

Shen Fang touched Zhukova's pretty face: "Let's do it in a while. I'm quite busy right now. After I go back to China, I'll be going to Japan and South Korea for a while. I won't have time to spend with you."

Zhukova pouted, looking unhappy.

"If you haven't come by the time The Purge is released, I'll go to China to find you."

Shen Fang laughed: "What, you can't bear to part with me?"

"Of course, you are my favorite man. I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you, and I vowed to have you."

Shen Fang... those words sound... a bit like something a villainous male protagonist would say...

"Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible."

“This is a gift for Crystal. Please apologize to her for me.” Ivanka handed over the two large bags.

I feel quite guilty towards Liu Yifei and Ivanka Trump, after all, not only did I steal her boyfriend, but I also stole him from her best friend.

Shen Fang took a look and saw a huge pile of luxury goods, quite valuable. Tsk tsk, he really went all out. But he dared not tell Liu Tianxian this. Recently, Liu Tianxian had been binge-watching a lot of palace dramas, practically transforming into Niu Hulu Liu Tianxian. If she knew he had two foreign concubines outside, she would cause a huge uproar.

Ivanka's figure, in particular, caused Liu Yifei a lot of damage back then.

He patted the two girls' butts.

"Let's go back."

Shen Fang and Shen Kun, carrying a large amount of luggage, walked into the airport.

"Let's go, sister, let's go back." Zhukova sighed as she watched Shen Fang's figure disappear. She had only enjoyed a few days of happiness before being separated from her lover; long-distance relationships were truly troublesome. She had really wanted to chase after him just now.

"Keva, do you think we're being a little too mean?"

"How so?"

"He's Crystal's boyfriend."

Zhukova shrugged. "Come on, isn't it normal for a man like him to have a few women? Besides, he works in the media industry, and he's not even married. So what if he's stealing a man? Shouldn't outstanding men be fought over?"

Ivanka glanced at Zhukova: "You want to marry him?"

"Of course. I think he's the man I can love for the rest of my life. He's my soulmate."

"Then why are you still holding my hand?"

Zhukova smiled slightly: "We're good sisters, so I don't mind sharing with you. From now on, let's work together as sisters to bring Chen into our arms."

Ivanka...

"Then I'll be the boss, and you'll be the second-in-command. We'll drive all those Chinese women around Shen away..."

Ivanka rolled her eyes: "He's an Asian, your father won't agree."

Zhukova chuckled: "That applies to ordinary Easterners, not Chen. In this world, money can solve most problems."

Ivanka nodded; that was indeed true.

......

Shen Fang was unaware of Zhukova and Ivanka's conspiracy. At the moment, he only felt a little tired. Two weeks of hard work day and night would be too much even for someone made of iron. He needed to rest for a few days.

Don't misunderstand, it's not kidney deficiency.

"Third Uncle, what are you going to do with those two foreign girls?"

Shen Fang, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened them and looked at his grandson, who had a gossipy expression on his face.

Mind your own business.

How's Lanlan doing lately?

"It's nothing, Brother Bin is taking care of me, it's just that he asks me for money every day."

"You gave it to me?"

Shen Kun nodded: "I gave it to her because I was worried she might be mistreated abroad. After all, it's her first time going abroad, and she doesn't speak the language. It's okay to spend a little money. If this young lady is mistreated, there will definitely be chaos at home when she comes back."

Shen Fang nodded and didn't say anything more. But based on his understanding of Shen Lanlan, he knew that even if she went to South Korea, she would definitely live a very carefree life, since Huang Bin was with her.

Meanwhile, Shen Lanlan, far away in South Korea, was having fun with the trainees at SM Entertainment.

Shen Fang's desire to invest in Lee Soo-man's company is simple: SM is the pioneer and leader of K-pop culture.

In the once glorious 1.0 and 2.0 eras, there is no doubt that the period from 2017 to 2018 was the era in which SM Entertainment dominated the Korean idol entertainment industry.

Big Bang, 2NE1, Girls' Generation, Super Junior, EXO, TVXQ, Psy, and the original H.O.T. were all hugely popular groups created by SM Entertainment.

However, due to its poor financial performance over the years, SM has failed to maintain the net profit and return on assets expected of a blue-chip company, and has been downgraded by the Korea Stock Exchange.

In terms of external performance, SM's main boy and girl groups have not reached the top in recent years. Their long-standing inability to conquer the European and American markets was broken through by BTS, and their local advantages have been gradually eroded by other popular groups.
