The moment An Sheng finished speaking, Shen Jiezhu blurted out three words: "Impossible."

The dining table, which had originally had a good atmosphere, immediately fell into dead silence.

Many eyes were focused on Shen Jiezhu, even Aunt Pu, who was the cook, couldn't help but steal a peek at her.

…

Shen Jiezhu drank the beef soup in the bowl, looked up at her aunt, and said in the same tone as before: "Aunt, please give me a little more, not too much."

Auntie immediately took the bowl to serve the soup. Mrs. An smiled and said, "I learned this skill of making soup from Xianjing. Zhuzhu really likes it kkk. Zhuzhu, try this. I made it myself. You also loved it when you were a child~"

Shen Jiezhu took it with a smile.

With Mrs. An and Shen Jiezhu chatting away, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much better.

An Sheng was silent for a while, then spoke again, but this time his attitude was much better, and his tone was more like a negotiation.

"Zhuzhu, now "I Love You" can no longer help you improve your value. On the contrary, it will affect your value."

An Sheng is a businessman. Before he does anything, he likes to use value to measure the necessity of doing that thing.

For him, participating in a variety show is an investment, and what he ultimately wants is to increase his fans and fame.

There is nothing wrong with the romance variety show itself, and it is indeed suitable for Zhuzhu who has just entered the circle. Her decision to participate was a correct one.

But now it is different. Her status has been rising, from the president of metaphysics to the current rich daughter. "I Love You" can no longer catch up with her. If it continues like this, her fans who like her from other places will most likely become her and Kwon Ji-yong's CP fans.

Others are pure CP fans, but she is the opposite.

This really does not benefit her at all, but will instead tie her to Kwon Ji-yong.

It was for this reason that An Sheng wanted her to quit "I Love You".

Shen Jiezhu's soup had been served. She picked up the spoon and took a sip, raised her eyebrows with satisfaction, and focused on the soup, as if she didn't care at all about what Ansheng said.

An Sheng frowned subconsciously. From their previous interactions, he knew that she was very stubborn, so she didn't let others call her Xiaoxi. Everyone agreed and still called her Zhuzhu as before.

Now that they were sitting at the dining table to eat, he realized how stubborn she was!

Once you make up your mind about something, you can't change your mind. It's really frustrating.

"Zhuzhu, don't you realize that "I Love You" is dragging you down now?"

…

Shen Jiezhu paused in drinking the soup.

An Sheng talked for most of the day, and this was the first time she faced his problem squarely.

Ding-Dang, the sound of spoon and plate colliding is crisp and pleasant.

Shen Jiezhu raised her eyelids, her dark eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then relaxed again. She raised her arms, rested her elbows on the table, and rested her chin on the back of her hands. Her movements were gentle, but her clear eyebrows and eyes contained a hint of sharpness.

“I don’t feel like it’s holding me back anymore.”

Her voice was slightly hoarse, but her tone was still gentle, as if she was showing others something she really liked. Her voice was full of seriousness, sincerity, stubbornness and preference, and every word she spoke was extremely clear.

This tone...

An Zai Che was suddenly stunned. He put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth, and leaned back in his chair. Like a bystander, he quietly looked at Shen Jiezhu who was sitting diagonally opposite him.

Gradually, he raised the corners of his lips, the kindness on his face became more and more obvious, the wrinkled corners of his eyes were full of smiles, and in the deepest part of his eyes, there was deep fondness and approval.

So similar.

Not only do they look alike, but even their tone of voice is similar.

An Jae-cheol suddenly thought of the quarrel he had with his sister in the past.

Like An Sheng, I am an impatient person. Normally, I try to control my temper when facing outsiders, but I can't help but be impulsive when facing my relatives.

Xianjing is just like Zhuzhu, she has a good temper, speaks softly, eats slowly, and can't stop eating when she likes something. From the outside, she doesn't have any offensive power, but once there is a conflict, she will stab people with a gentle knife.

It hurts so much, and it feels weird.

At that time, he was bullied badly. He couldn't argue with her, and he couldn't hit her, or he would be scolded by his parents. He was anxious and angry, and he couldn't vent his anger until she got married.

Suddenly there was no one at home who could stab a knife, and he actually felt it was rather lonely.

After she became a wife, she had a child and he became an uncle. He was very happy at that time and let Xiaoxi ride on his neck and play every day.

After being ignored, Xiaosheng started quarreling with Xiaoxi just like he used to. They quarreled from day to night and even said a few angry words to each other in his dreams. The two siblings seemed like enemies of several lifetimes.

Yes, just like it is now.

Mrs. An handed over a bunch of grapes, An Zai Che took it, and the two of them leaned together to watch the show.

"Sure enough, they are still the same as when they were kids. These two brothers may really be enemies for generations."

Mrs. An also thought about the past and couldn't help but sigh.

An Zai Che smiled and said, "When we were little, Xiao Sheng always lost. Now that he has grown up, who do you think will lose?"

Mrs. An looked at the situation at the dinner table and said, "I think Zhuzhu might lose."

"Oh? Why?"

"Xiao Sheng has been corrupted by you. He is too cunning. Even the old guys on the board of directors have suffered in front of him. Zhu Zhu has never experienced this before, so she is bound to lose."

"Really?" An Zai Che asked back, shaking his head meaningfully: "I don't think so. I think Zhu Zhu is very smart, much smarter than Xiao Sheng. It won't be a problem for her to take back the Han Country market in the future!"

An Sheng was busy confronting Shen Jiezhu and didn't notice that his parents beside him were already watching the show.

Shen Jiezhu happened to be standing diagonally opposite, so she saw it all clearly.

The smile on her uncle's face was so obvious that she reacted immediately and decided to quit "I Love You". It was either her uncle's idea or An Sheng's.

If that's the case, then she won't be polite.

"I Love You gave me the opportunity to enter the industry. If I quit now, I would be blocking their way. I can't do this."

An Sheng refused to give in: "For investments that do not yield returns, you should stop losses immediately to avoid minimal losses. Zhuzhu, you are so smart, how come you don't understand this?"

"I really don't understand. Brother, you are a businessman, it's normal for you to think this way. But you can't use your ideas to trap me. You always give me advice from a high position, why can't you think from my perspective. If you stand up by stepping on someone's shoulders, will you turn around and step on him to death unless you have no other choice?"

An Sheng said frankly: "Of course I won't. This is a matter of principle."

"That's it, isn't it?" Shen Jiezhu raised her eyebrows and took a sip of beef soup.

An Sheng finally realized that what he just said was off the cuff: "This is different, Zhuzhu. You have reached a point where you have no other choice now!"

"You call this being forced? Then according to what you said, I'm still participating in "Kim Byung Man's Jungle Law", and I haven't recorded it yet, so doesn't that mean I don't have to waste my time?"

"Yeah, why record these? There are so many good resources now, aren't there enough for you to choose from?"

Shen Jiezhu paused, and suddenly remembered something. Her expression was instantly filled with dissatisfaction and complaints: "I remember, brother, that "Jungle Law" really never contacted me again. Did you do something behind my back?"

An Sheng is not the one who is being wronged: "I don't even like this kind of show. Who has the time to care about it?"

"Isn't it you?" Shen Jiezhu looked at him suspiciously and spoke again: "The filming time for "I Love You" is about to start, but the production team didn't contact me. This... must be you who did it."

"This has nothing to do with me, please don't accuse me."

…

Shen Jiezhu pursed her lips, suddenly deflated, gritted her teeth and looked very angry: "Brother, if it wasn't you, then this problem would be serious!"

"What's wrong?"

"Someone is plotting against me behind my back. Since I'm in love with you is silent, someone must have said hello. How could this happen? It really is. Brother, your sister has been plotted against. Can you tolerate this? Can you tolerate it? I can't tolerate it anyway! You tolerated it this time, but I don't know how you will deal with me next time!"

An Sheng felt a surge of excitement and thought what she said made sense.

You can’t tolerate this kind of anger. If you tolerate it the first time, there will be a second time!

In this way, won’t anyone be able to bully the An family in the future?

no!

An Sheng slammed the table and stood on the same front with her: "Call that director, I want to ask him what's going on!"

Without saying a word, Shen Jiezhu took out her cell phone, dialed the director's number, and handed the call to An Sheng on speakerphone.

The director was having a headache about the next shoot, and when he saw Shen Jiezhu's call, he immediately picked up the phone.

"Pig, you came to me."

A male voice came from the microphone: "I am An Sheng."

"Mr. An?" The director was shocked. He didn't expect An Sheng to call him, so he asked him quickly.

"Boss Xiao An, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Hearing this, Shen Jiezhu's eyes darkened, she looked at her uncle beside her and nodded slightly.

So that's how it is.

An Sheng was still busy communicating with the director: "When will you shoot the next episode of "I Love You"?"

The director started to have a headache when he heard this, and they really started to urge him.

"The next episode... the next episode is still in preparation. We will start filming as soon as the plan is revised!"

An Sheng was concise and straightforward, and went straight to the point: "Zhuzhu wants to participate, is that okay?"

"ah?"

The director was really dumbfounded.

What kind of game are the An family and their son playing?

Dad specifically sent someone to inform him that Zhuzhu would not participate in the next photo shoot and asked him to change the plan.

The son called again and demanded that Pig must participate.

What is this doing?

"What's wrong? Our Zhuzhu is such a big star now, can't she be on a romance variety show?"

"No, yes! Of course I can! I'll start filming right away, in just two days. I'll send the filming schedule to Zhuzhu's phone tonight, hahahaha!"

Done!

An Sheng proudly threw the phone to him, sat back in his seat steadily, took a sip of red wine, and winked at Shen Jiezhu: "You don't have to endure it since I'm here."

Shen Jiezhu hung up the phone, smiling brightly, holding her phone and saying sweetly: "Thank you, brother!"

An Sheng was very satisfied, Shen Jiezhu was very happy, and An Zai Cheol was in a complicated mood.

"I'm done! I still have work to do, so I'll go home first. See you later, bro~"

An Sheng waved to her cheerfully: "Well, go back. If anyone bullies you, remember to tell me."

"Okay, bye uncle and aunt!"

Shen Jiezhu was happy to go out. After getting into her car, she didn't rush to drive, but sent a message to An Zai Che.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I really like 'I Love You'. I've made a lot of friends on this show. I won't quit. You're my uncle, and I don't want to go against you. This is the only way. Don't blame me!"

She originally thought that the person who greeted "I Love You" was from the Jiang family, but just now, the director's casual word "still" made her sure that the person who didn't want her to continue recording was actually her uncle.

Maybe he has other expectations for himself and doesn't want to waste his time in the entertainment industry, which is understandable.

But she had to let him know that she was not stupid and not a robot that could be manipulated by others.

After sending the message, Shen Jiezhu drove to YG. She had to meet Kwon Ji-yong today no matter what, no one could stop her.

In the An family villa, An Zai Che received the news and his smile became even wider.

Zhuzhu did not let him down. She knew how to transfer the resources at hand and use one person to control another.

He was very satisfied with this answer.

He waved at An Sheng and showed him the message. The latter immediately realized that Zhu Zhu had used him to rebel against her father, and his smile disappeared immediately.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I ruined your plan."

Of course An Jae-cheol would not be angry. In fact, he was very happy to see his son so happy. He was still young and was no longer like himself after being influenced by the business world.

But just now, when he was coaxed around by Zhuzhu's repeated call of "brother", he realized that Xiaosheng should be like this.

"Xiao Sheng, this time you and Zhu Zhu should work together on the project. The first batch of funds has arrived. It's up to you to decide how to plan it."

An Sheng paused for a moment before nodding: "Don't worry, Dad. We will do our best and won't let you down!"

"Don't feel pressured, just treat it as practice. You are my son and Zhuzhu is my nephew. I won't be disappointed no matter how well you two do. Go ahead!"

"Um!"

When Shen Jiezhu's car stopped at the back door of YG, her cell phone, which had been silent all the way, finally started to move.

It was sent by An Zai Che.

"Zhuzhu, Anshi has just acquired two companies in Seoul, an entertainment company and a new energy group. You and Xiaosheng will be in charge of these two companies. I also have a list of some small companies and studios. You can decide whether to continue acquiring them or suppress them."

"Uncle knows that you may like the entertainment industry, but only when you have capital in your hands can you live a more comfortable life in the entertainment industry. Whether you choose the Jiang family or the An family, managing a company is something you must learn. Uncle believes in you, you can do it!"
