Chapter 345 Choose 2 from 1
Chapter 345 Choose one of the two
Li Shiying's expression was a little stiff. The serious-looking man in front of her made her feel afraid. Of course, this fear was somewhat different from her fear of Jin Kangmin.
In Lee Se-young's mind, Kim Kang-min is not only arrogant, but also impulsive and violent. He would beat and scold the company's contracted artists and trainees at will, regardless of gender or occasion. Many times, he even dared to take action in front of pedestrians on the street.
Because of this, including Lee Se-young, the people in the company were truly afraid of Kim Kang-min. When facing this guy, they would even tremble in fear. The reason for their fear was that they were worried that they would be beaten.
At this moment, when facing An Rushong with a serious expression, Li Shiying also felt a sense of fear in her heart, but she was not afraid that the other party would attack her, but she was worried that the other party would just get up and leave and ignore her. In other words, she was worried that the other party would abandon her.
This feeling is very strange. Li Shiying herself doesn't know where it comes from. You know, when a person has this kind of fear of another person, it means that she has become dependent on this person, because only people who depend on others will worry about being abandoned by the other party.
Li Shiying couldn't figure out where this feeling came from, but this feeling of fear forced her to walk over unconsciously and sit down with her legs bent at the place where An Rushong had just clapped his hands.
Until she felt her butt touching the soft sofa cushion, she was still wondering why she had to behave so submissively, because the other party had not made any promises to her yet. But at the same time, she could feel one thing in her heart, that is, if she disobeyed the man sitting next to her, he would not hit her or even insult her. He would just stand up and leave without leaving her any chance to redeem himself.
"You have two choices now," An Rusong put the half-can of Coke in his hand back on the coffee table, touched his pocket, took out a half-pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put it between his fingers, then leaned forward, rested his elbows on his thighs, and said, "First, you can regard what you did for me before as a deal. I will give you a sum of money, a large sum of money, which should be enough to help you pay the company's liquidated damages."
At this point, he paused, lit the cigarette with a lighter, took a puff, and then continued: "From now on, there is no relationship between us. You helped me, and I helped you. This should be fair, isn't it?"
Li Shiying's heart was pounding. The contract she signed with the company was very harsh, with a penalty of hundreds of millions of won, which was equivalent to millions of yuan. For those billionaires, this amount of money might be the cost of a meal, but for someone like her who had just graduated from school and didn't even have much income, it was a huge sum that she couldn't possibly take out.
After taking this money and paying the company's penalty, according to An Rushong, she might still have some left, and then she could start her life over again.
But, after less than a few seconds of thinking, this heart-pounding feeling disappeared without a trace.
Indeed, if the same conditions had happened two days ago, when she was beaten up by Jin Kangmin in the nightclub, she would have accepted it without hesitation, because at that time she just wanted to end her life controlled by Jin Kangmin immediately. She even thought about committing suicide, because that seemed to be the only option for her.
But now, two days later, the same choice made her feel unwilling. She had been working hard on the road to the entertainment industry for nearly two years. For a young and beautiful girl, how precious are these two years of her prime? Should she just waste it so simply and get nothing in return?
In particular, she knew very well in her heart that the young and somewhat handsome man next to her really had the ability to change her life. Compared with him, Jin Kangmin, the chairman of the company, was nothing.
Now, this man is sitting next to her and asking her to make a choice. Should she simply choose to take the money and leave?
"Secondly," An Rusong spoke slowly, but from his steady tone, Li Shiying could sense a kind of tyranny that would not tolerate disobedience, "You can choose to work for me. I won't pay you a salary, but I will solve all your problems for you. I can help you set up an entertainment company, help you debut, and help you obtain various resources. Although I can't promise to make you a superstar, the support I can give you is definitely much more than that of Jin Kangmin."
After a pause, he emphasized, "Besides, I won't ask you to please anyone except me. It's enough for you to please me alone."
Li Shiying bit her lower lip, twisted a corner of her skirt with both hands, and twisted it back and forth vigorously. It seemed that she was having a fierce ideological struggle.
An Rushong didn't urge her to make a decision. He just sat on the sofa and smoked.
Soon, he finished smoking half of his cigarette. Perhaps because he had run out of patience, he stuffed the rest of the cigarette into the can of Coke, then stood up slowly and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I'll do it later."
"Do I need to sign an agreement?" Li Shiying interrupted him, raised her face slightly, looked up at him from the bottom, and asked.
An Rushong stopped and turned to face her.
"What I mean is, if I choose the second condition, do I need to sign an agreement?" Li Shiying bit her lip again and asked.
An Rusong smiled. He looked down at the other person, shook his head and said, "There is no need for an agreement between us. As long as you think you no longer need me, you can leave at any time."
Li Shiying nodded. The other party's answer made her feel a little relieved. It was not that she had any other ideas, but Jin Kangmin's company left a shadow on her. In her opinion, the agreement was almost equivalent to a contract of sale.
"So, what choice are you going to make?" Reaching out to hold her chin, An Rusong stroked her soft jaw and asked, "You have to give me a positive answer." Li Shiying did not struggle. She raised her head slightly and said obediently, "I choose the second path. I want to be an artist, a star, I want to be successful, and I want to be a woman that everyone pays attention to."
An Rushong smiled, and he knew that he would not make a mistake in choosing someone.
People always have to have a goal to strive for in their life, and once they have this goal, they have to work hard to achieve it. Therefore, people who have life goals and are willing to work hard for them are often easier to control than those "idle fish" who just lie down and do nothing.
Pinching the woman's chin and forcing her to raise her face higher, An Rusong looked down into her eyes and said, "Shiying, believe me, I can help you realize your wish, but before that, you have to learn to please me first."
Li Shiying dodged and avoided his gaze.
An Rushong was not an impatient person. To him, the woman in front of him was already meat on the chopping board, and he could do whatever he wanted with her. There was no need for him to be too eager, as that would be too boring.
After releasing the other person's chin, he turned his head and looked around the living room. Seeing the yoga mat on the carpet in front of the French window, he asked curiously, "Why, are you still doing yoga?"
Before the other party could answer, he saw a black top and a pair of shorts of the same color draped over the back of a sofa not far away.
“It’s Pilates,” Lee Se-young explained.
"Oh?" An Rusong walked over slowly, took the small shirt in his hand, and tried the feel. This is a sports tube top, the fabric is very good, very elastic, and probably expensive. Well, this dress should also be bought with his money, after all, this woman didn't bring anything with her when she checked into the hotel.
"How long have you been practicing?" An Rushong asked casually.
"Almost a year," Li Shiying replied, "every morning"
"Show me," An Rushong interrupted her before she could finish her words.
"Ah?" Li Shiying was stunned, but before she could say anything else, An Rusong had already thrown the tube top over to her and said, "Put this on and show me how to do it."
At this moment, Li Shiying's small face turned red, but An Rushong did not urge her. He just walked to the wall of TV, turned on the speakers, and went aside to choose a CD.
After sitting on the sofa and hesitating for more than ten seconds, Li Shiying finally stood up while biting her lip. She walked over, picked up the tube top and pants, turned around and wanted to go to the bedroom.
"Change here," An Rushong said without turning his head. It was as if he had eyes on his back and could see everything.
Li Shiying's body stiffened for a moment, but she stayed where she was obediently and began to take off her skirt.
Listening to the sporadic sounds coming from behind him, An Rushong selected a classic English record and stuffed it directly into the record player. After pushing the disc into the drawer, after a while, he remembered hearing music with a brisk rhythm.
An Rushong had never heard of this song before, and of course, he didn't care when it was sung. What he needed now was just an atmosphere, not music appreciation.
When the music sounded from the speakers, An Rushong turned around. On the sofa behind him, Li Shiying had already put on the tube top and was about to put on the sweatpants.
An Rusong unbuttoned his coat and walked over quickly while taking it off. When he reached Li Shiying, he snatched the pants from her hand and threw them directly on the sofa. Then, in the stunned look on her face, he said, "If you want to please me, you must be obedient. I'll let you put them on."
Pointing at the other's chest, he said, "I told you to wear it, not anything else, understand?"
Li Shiying's face turned even redder. She stood there for a few seconds, suddenly took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the place where the yoga mat was placed.
