Chapter 17 Opportunities to Increase Favorability
Before serving the dishes, Jing Rong finally finished her work. She made an extremely gorgeous appearance, her domineering aura blinding everyone's titanium dog eyes. Behind Jing Rong was a team of people serving the dishes. The face walking in front of the beautiful waitresses, half a step slower than Jing Rong, seemed familiar. He was the new head chef of Jinxiu Nianhua, a famous chef that Jing Rong had poached from a well-known restaurant last week. He was the third runner-up of the xxth Cooking Competition. With so many halos on his head, one can imagine how much effort Jing Rong had put into poaching him.
The chef personally brought his assistants to explain each dish, which was definitely a treatment only for VIPs. This time, Jing Rong gave G-Dragon enough face, completely eliminating the subtle grudges in G-Dragon's heart, and all his unhappiness disappeared.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. Jing Rong was in a good mood and had a faint smile on her face throughout the meal. When she was happy, she could be considered eloquent and could at least chat with everyone. What's more, she had the even more versatile Zhang Jingran next to her who was helping her unnoticeably. Everyone present had a very good impression of her.
However, Zhang Jingran's performance was a bit off at first. He hadn't expected that the person he thought was the most unlikely would actually be the real boss. So when Jingrong walked straight towards G-Dragon upon entering the box and sat down next to him calmly, Zhang Jingran stared at him in a very unpretentious way, perfectly demonstrating what it meant to be dumbfounded. If such a person hadn't been there, Zhang Jingran really wanted to shout, "President, why are you so harsh?"
But the next second, Zhang Jingran calmed down again. It was the same thing, maybe their president just liked this - in fact, it didn't matter. No matter how sophisticated the president looked, she was, after all, a 23-year-old girl. She was young and energetic, her family was rich and powerful, and she had good facilities. It was understandable that she wanted to play. Besides, she could afford it. Probably in a few years, after she had seen a lot of things, her emotions, thoughts and all aspects were fully mature. She would not choose a boyfriend for excitement or excitement. At that time, she would choose a man who could truly spend her life with her.
Perhaps it was because he could see that Jingrong was in a good mood, Shengli, who was too high, raised his glass for the third time, eager to toast her: "Sister-in-law, let's have a drink. We have known each other for so long, but this is the first time we have dinner together!"
Jing Rong smiled faintly and glanced at G-Dragon who was looking at him sideways. Under the light, there seemed to be a gleam of water in his eyes, which were usually calm, and a graceful charm that made people unable to look away. G-Dragon suddenly heard his own heartbeat clearly, beating against his chest, as if reminding him of the throbbing at the moment.
When was the last time his heart beat wildly? Was it when he stood in the president's office and was told he could continue leading BigABNG's comeback? Or when he first stepped onto the stage for their debut? Or when he first confessed his feelings to the girl he had a crush on and waited for her response? Or even earlier, when he was first noticed by an agency and determined his life goals for the first time?
G-Dragon did not think about this answer for too long, and there is no comparison. At that time, he was just G-Dragon, and now he is even more of G-Dragon, Captain Kwon. But after going through so many ups and downs over the years, he still has such a moment. G-Dragon still feels gratified. The greater a person's achievements, the less motivation he has to fight. He is very glad that he has new motivation now.
There was a silence of about one or two seconds, and then G-Dragon quickly put his arm around Jingrong's shoulders and took the wine glass from Seungri very smoothly: "I'll drink it for her."
His attempts to get close were interrupted again, and Seungri almost wanted to stamp his feet: "Jiyong, you drank so much, how are you going to drive later?"
"You don't have to worry about this." G-Dragon glanced at Jing Rong, his meaning was self-evident.
Shengli paused and began to defend Jingrong: "Brother, you are a man, a man! You actually want your sister-in-law to drive you!"
Under the lights, he hugged his beloved girlfriend, with his best friend joking around beside him. In such a wonderful atmosphere, he would have been drunk even if he hadn't drunk any alcohol. Moreover, Quan Zhilong had drunk a little too much today. He lazily leaned on Jingrong's shoulder, and said with a hint of coquettishness and pride, "My woman."
Jing Rong really wanted to give Quan Zhilong 32 likes in one breath for his cooperation. If he continued to cooperate like this, she felt that completing the task ahead of schedule was not a dream! However, thinking about the task, Jing Rong felt a little apologetic and didn't care about Quan Zhilong lying on her. Instead, she patted his shoulder very gently and said, "But drink less."
The most touching thing was the gentleness of lowering her head. Although Jing Rong's action was not so tender, it was not bad either. It was just that she was too serious in normal times, so when her eyebrows softened a little, it gave people a softness that was no less than tenderness. For a moment, even Shengli stopped talking. Although getting close to others was important, it was also impossible to disturb other people's love. Shengli knew clearly in his heart that only when Jing Rong had a better relationship with Captain Quan, she would be better to him.
Zhang Jingran, who was pouring wine for TOP and Jung Hyung-don, paused for a moment, then immediately returned to normal. He put down the bottle with a smile, picked up the glass in front of him, raised it and said, "Topxi, I toast you a glass."
Taeyang also spoke up: "Jiyong, I think you need to toast me."
Quan Zhilong nodded and immediately picked up the wine glass: "This is a must."
Taeyang did not refuse, but drank the glass of wine seriously. Because he was not aware of Jingrong's unknown and disappointing mission, Taeyang now attributed Jingrong's good attitude towards G-Dragon to himself. At least he said so many good things, which still had some effect. The same was true for G-Dragon.
G-Dragon and Taeyang took the lead in toasting, and the other two brothers also joined in the fun with their glasses. Before long, it became a drinking contest for all of Big Bang. Zhang Jingran was still beside them, tirelessly urging people to drink, and the atmosphere became even more lively. At this moment, Jing Rong was not idle either. She was chatting with a few senior hosts. Yin Zhongxin drank a little too much, and his tongue was swollen. He said slowly: "...I heard that the MC of this show is Song Joong-ki, of course Lee Joon-ki is also a possibility..."
Jung Hyung-don continued, "It should be Song Joong-ki. Last time we were drinking together, he seemed to have mentioned something like this."
After getting the answer he wanted, Jing Rong nodded, raised his glass and said to the hosts, "No matter what, I still have to toast to the seniors."
After finishing his drink, Jung Hyung-don continued, "When it comes to hosting a show, you still need to be humorous. I've been a host for so many years, and my experience is that no matter what show it is, people with humor are more popular with the audience."
Jing Rong nodded, looking very educated. Yin Zhongxin also reminded him, "But you still have to find your own position. Although I have never worked on this kind of program, I think the performance of the guests should be more exciting than the contestants. Otherwise, if you look at those talent shows in Europe and the United States, the judges are always more interesting."
After a few drinks, the PD next to him started talking. Jing Rong said that this meal was worth it! Of course, there was more to come.
Bigbang's schedule of recording a program at SBS was made public a long time ago, with many media and fans lurking under the SBS building. It was no secret that Bigbang and the "GoShow" crew came to Golden Years Hotel in a grand manner after the schedule. That night, photos of the Golden Years Hotel went viral on the Internet. Bigbang is considered a trendsetter of Korean fashion, and G-Dragon is the trendiest among trendsetters. Everything he likes is imitated by others, and with their support, Golden Years has become a hit.
Jing Rong still had the same idea. Not everyone has such a good opportunity to gain experience. Now that she has caught up with it, she should seize it well and grasp both tasks and experience, so that her trip will not be in vain. Taking over the hotel for the original owner, Jing Rong wants more than just to expand the scale. She wants to create a hotel culture and become a new trendsetter. But before that, she has to build up the reputation of Jinxiu Nianhua. Since she has this relationship with Quan Zhilong, she must make good use of it. Jing Rong's invitation to dinner at her own hotel has a deeper meaning. Quan Zhilong is not completely unaware of the deeper meaning, but he accepts it very calmly, which proves that he doesn't mind - not only that, in Quan Zhilong's view, the more confident Jing Rong is with him, the more it proves his position in her heart, because it's not formal!
That's off topic. Let's get back to the topic. The meal didn't end until after ten o'clock. G-Dragon and Jing Rong both drank quite a bit. Zhang Jingran sent the others to the open-air parking lot for her, while Jing Rong and G-Dragon went to the underground parking lot under the guidance of her driver. They avoided the sight of reporters and returned to Jing Rong's apartment.
Although Quan Zhilong had never lived in this apartment, and had only been there once when Xue Jingrong moved, since Xue Jingrong had given the key to Quan Zhilong, there must be no shortage of other things in the apartment. Quan Zhilong was used to wearing the same brands as Quan Zhilong, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, there was no shortage of them in the apartment. As soon as Quan Zhilong entered the second bedroom, he was deeply moved by the dazzling array of clothes in the cloakroom. He turned around and went out, hugged Jingrong who was taking a bath in the bathroom, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and said in a soft and slow voice: "Baby, thank you."
"You're welcome." Jing Rong answered before asking, "What's wrong?"
G-Dragon kissed her on the neck before answering, "I like the things prepared in the room."
Jing Rong pursed her lips and smiled, "As long as you like it." Although these were all the work of her predecessor, she would not be stupid enough to explain that this was not prepared by her. Since it was a task, she should not miss any opportunity to increase her favorability.
G-Dragon was deeply moved by such a simple and healing sentence. Not only did he realize his girlfriend's deep and unshakable feelings for him, he also felt ashamed of his previous indecision, and warned himself not to be so suspicious and worried in the future.
