“Go do what you want. If you make a profit, it’s all yours.  If you lose, it’ll count as my money that’s lost.”

Ye Lisa furrowed her brow. Her heart felt a touch of sourness. She didn’t want to admit that she felt touched. “Why are you so good to me?”

Jungkook just vaguely said, “I believe in your vision.”

Holding that seemingly heavy check, Ye Lisa didn’t know what to say. All sorts of feelings had welled up in her heart. 

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Lisa thought of the strange coincidences that led up to this point. “If I had obstinately clung to the idea of leaving you back then or if I had insisted on aborting Zhouzhou, would you still treat me so well?”

Jungkook stared at her. “Did something happen?”

“It’s nothing. I just saw You Rowoon expressing his feelings to Meng Jisoo today at the parking lot when I was outside. He blacklisted her for four years. She’s something that he’ll never get.  He threatened me too. CEO Jeon, if it was you…”

Jungkook slightly furrowed his brow and looked at Ye Lisa with narrowed eyes. “What did You Rowoon say to you?”

“... It wasn’t anything serious. Just that I would lose all my money if I step foot into the entertainment industry. Don’t worry about it though. By the time I make buckets of money, he’ll have already lost it all.” Ye Lisa was extremely curious. “If I wouldn’t give up on leaving with Zhouzhou back then, what would you have done? Would you have imprisoned me?”

Jungkook found her question amusing. He really wanted to know what Ye Lisa was thinking about all day to think of this question. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. If there’s nothing else, go rest. Let’s go home together when I’m done with work.”

Ye Lisa shrugged and quietly said, “Overbearing CEO.”

Jungkook lowered his head. His smile deepened.

Early next morning, right after Jungkook stepped into office, he received an entertainment circle news from the PR Department. On the top, there was a photo of Ye Ji Eun coming out of Heaven on Earth. She was smiling and chatting with the person next to her.

Everyone knew who was in the photo, but the headline of that tabloid was: Is it the older sister or the younger sister entering and leaving Heaven on Earth late at night?

This ambiguous title let one’s imagination roam.

Jungkook was unhappy as soon as he saw this news. He called Qin Jennie into this office.

“First, deal with this matter immediately. You don’t need to tell me about this type of news in the future. The PR Department should autonomously deal with it. Second, I don’t want to see Ye Lisa’s name appearing in newspapers, magazines, or online. I don’t want to see any media mentioning Ye Lisa in the same breath as Ye Ji Eun either. Third, contact Ye Ji Eun’s agency and get them to put restrictions on their actress’s conduct.”

“Okay, got it.”

Qin Jennie had noticed there were a lot of recent news about Ye Lisa and Ye Ji Eun posted online. Those two looked identical, and the reporters insisted on referring to Ye Ji Eun as Ye Lisa on the grounds that no one could tell them apart. If Ye Lisa or Ye Ji Eun came forward to declare the reporter was wrong, the pertinent media could shirk responsibility by saying that it was a case of mistaken identity.

However, Qin Jennie had a wealth of experience in handling online entertainment circle incidents. She was now working in Jeon Corporation, and she was like a fish going back to water when it came to handling this sort of thing.

Thus, this specific entertainment circle report was hastily deleted by the pertinent media two hours later. At the same time, all of the online negative news about Ye Lisa was also deleted.

But at this moment, Ye Lisa had no idea about any of that stuff. She was on her way to meet the young director, Ning Yang, after Meng Jisoo had invited her.

Ning Yang was there before them. She didn’t know how long he had been waiting.

“Director Ning, sorry to keep you waiting.” Ye Lisa smiled as she put her hand forward to shake hands with him.

Meng Jisoo was also smiling as she introduced Ye Lisa, “Ning Yang, this is Ye Lisa. I mentioned her to you before.”

Ning Yang hastily smiled and got up to shake hands with Ye Lisa when he saw her.

Ning Yang looked young. He was dressed professionally in a suit. When he smiled, he looked loyal and honest, but he avoided looking Ye Lisa in the eye. Ye Lisa deduced that he might be feeling inferior.

In the novel, one of the reasons why Ning Yang had given up on being an actor was due to his height. It hadn’t been obvious when he was sitting, but once he stood up, Ye Lisa finally understood. She roughly estimated that he was under 1.6 meters.

“Hello Miss Ye.”

After the two finished shaking hands, they sat down, and Ye Lisa got right to the point.

“Director Ning, let’s dispense with formalities. I presume that you’ve already heard from Miss Meng that I want to invest in your latest work on behalf of Jeon Corporation. Have you seriously considered this matter yet?”
