595. Appreciating Li Sharong’s Special Performance
Seeing Li Sharong in tears, Jane quickly ran over.
However, Yang Chen’s bodyguards remained unyielding, firmly blocking him from reaching Li Sharong.
Jane was furious and said, “Get out of the way! I am Jane Arnold, of the LV Group. Who are you people? Have your boss come to see me!”
The bodyguard said with a smile, “Our boss is Mr. Yang. You should call him and ask for instructions.”
Jane’s expression changed instantly, and he quickly asked, “Yang? The Yang who invested in our LV Group?”
Bodyguard: “Of course. Now, in Dragon Country, when people say Mr. Yang, they usually mean *the* Mr. Yang, just like saying Buffett means the ‘Oracle of Omaha’ [a famous investor], or saying Gates means the former head of Microsoft, and so on.”
Jane: “You are Mr. Yang’s bodyguards! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you just now. I’ll call him now.”
After speaking, Jane walked aside to call Yang Chen.
Li Sharong also stopped crying, looking at Jane with a shocked and puzzled expression.
Could it be that even the third son of the LV Group doesn’t have influence here?
Obviously, Li Sharong knew nothing about Yang Chen’s status. She thought that the world-renowned LV Group was enough to suppress Yang Chen, but she didn’t know that even Jane’s father would have to be polite to Yang Chen.
If Yang Chen was unhappy and caused him some trouble at the shareholders’ meeting, he would be in big trouble. Even shorting LV [betting against the company’s stock] wouldn’t be difficult. How dare he disrespect Yang Chen?
It’s just that Li Sharong didn’t understand these things, naively thinking that Jane had a strong background and could suppress Yang Chen.
The call connected.
Jane said excitedly, “Mr. Yang, hello, I am Jane Arnold. We met at the teahouse by West Lake in Hangzhou last time.”
Yang Chen: “Yes, the youngest son of Mr. Arnold. Did your little girlfriend call you for help?”
Jane: “Mr. Yang, I’m very sorry. I apologize for Lisa offending you. I hope you can forgive her and not be so serious with her.”
Yang Chen: “Hehe… You guys wait there, I’ll go find you later.”
Jane: “Okay, okay. I’ll wait for you here. Haha… I’m so happy to see you again, Mr. Yang.”
Hanging up the phone, Jane quickly returned to Li Sharong and said, “Lisa, when Mr. Yang comes, you must apologize to him sincerely. Understand?”
Li Sharong asked with a puzzled expression, “Why? You are the third son of the LV Group, why should you be afraid of him? Besides, you have…”
Jane immediately interrupted with a stern face, “Lisa, shut your mouth! Just do as I say. Don’t make me angry, or the consequences will be severe.”
Li Sharong immediately shut up obediently. Although her eyes and expression expressed her dissatisfaction, she really didn’t dare to speak anymore, which shows that her relationship with Jane was completely submissive.
Du Shaolong, who hadn’t gone far, probably understood the conversation between Li Sharong and Jane, and thought, “Now you know your place, right? You really think that the son of a wealthy family will treat you sincerely? It’s just treating you as a plaything, and kicking you away when he’s done playing.”
However, Du Shaolong obviously didn’t understand what Li Sharong almost said.
Du Shaolong thought for a while, why not take this opportunity to get acquainted with the third son of LV?
Maybe in the future, he can seek a spokesperson contract for the company’s artists from a brand under the LVMH Group [a luxury goods conglomerate].
Du Shaolong quickly walked over with a smile, and said humbly, “Young Master Jane, hello. My name is Du Shaolong, and I am the boss of Le Long Entertainment Company. Our company and Miss Lisa’s YG company are partners. I am honored to meet you, nice to meet you.”
As Du Shaolong spoke, he stretched out his hand, but as the son of a major luxury brand, how could Jane look up to a small entertainment company boss?
Jane just glanced at Du Shaolong with a contemptuous look, and didn’t even want to say a word in response.
Du Shaolong withdrew his hand with an embarrassed expression. He wanted to please Jane but failed, and instead got a snub.
This reminds everyone of a principle: interpersonal relationships are always about the exchange of benefits. If you only think about others bringing you benefits, but don’t think about what benefits you can bring to others, you will most likely end up embarrassed.
More than ten minutes later, Yang Chen returned with Ren Nana.
Du Shaolong was shocked and thought, “Isn’t this Miss Ren? Is that young man next to her Mr. Yang?”
Jane ran over to greet him happily like a child.
“Mr. Yang, hello, we meet again! Haha…”
Yang Chen hugged Jane and said, “Jane, hello. Why are you in Hai City?”
Jane: “Last time we met, didn’t I tell you that I wanted to be like you? So I asked my dad for some work. I am now inspecting the business in the Dragon Country area and have been busy for more than half a month.”
Yang Chen: “Is that so? Not bad, young people should be diligent.”
Jane nodded with a smile, then turned back to call Li Sharong over with a serious face.
Li Sharong walked over with a displeased expression.
Jane immediately ordered, “Apologize to Mr. Yang, be sincere! Do you understand?”
Li Sharong nodded, then bowed to Yang Chen to apologize.
“Mr. Yang, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, please forgive me. Sorry!”
Yang Chen: “It doesn’t matter much whether you apologize to me, but you have to apologize to Miss Ren. You asked someone to push her down, this matter can’t be just forgotten.”
Jane: “Ah? Lisa asked someone to push down Mr. Yang’s friend? Lisa, you must apologize to this lady immediately, immediately!”
Li Sharong was about to cry with grievance, but she still had to do it.
“Miss Ren, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, please forgive me,” Li Sharong said with a bow.
Ren Nana is also not one to suffer losses. Li Sharong asked the bodyguard to push her down, but only said sorry verbally. How could it be so easy to let it go?
Ren Nana: “I won’t make things difficult for you. However, you need to understand the pain you caused. How he pushed me down, that’s how you will be pushed down, and we’ll be even.”
Li Sharong certainly didn’t want to, and immediately said to Jane, “Honey, she is bullying me too much. I have already apologized, and she still wants to push me down.”
Jane: “I think this lady is right, how you pushed her down, that’s how she will push you down, it’s very fair.”
Li Sharong suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. Is this really what the third son of the LV Group could say?
“Jane, aren’t you kidding me? Are you really not protecting me at all?” Li Sharong asked angrily.
Jane: “Of course I protect you, but now you have offended Mr. Yang’s friend, you must apologize.”
Du Shaolong next to him understood that Li Sharong had not only offended Mr. Yang, but also offended Miss Ren’s daughter.
“Damn! This Li Sharong is really something, offending the two most prestigious people in Dragon Country at once. Damn, no wonder the LV young master is so cowardly. Anyone would be cowardly!” Du Shaolong thought to himself, suddenly feeling a sense of schadenfreude [pleasure derived from someone else’s misfortune].
Li Sharong’s attitude towards him just now was very unfriendly, and now he wants to see how Mr. Yang and Miss Ren deal with her.
Li Sharong: “Is this how you protect me? They are humiliating me in front of you, and not only do you not help me, but you also want to humiliate me with them.”
Jane: “Lisa, I don’t want to talk too much nonsense with you, just do what I say. Understand? I certainly won’t harm you, you must be clear about this.”
There is nothing wrong with this statement. Although Jane’s behavior seems a bit cowardly, and even a bit targeted at his girlfriend, he is actually protecting Li Sharong.
Neither Yang Chen nor President Ren are people that a small star like Li Sharong can afford to offend.
If Yang Chen and President Ren want to be serious, even if YG’s boss Yang Genxi and people from the Korean embassy come over, they won’t be able to take her away unless Li Sharong apologizes and satisfies Ren Nana.
In today’s Dragon Country, Yang Chen and President Ren have such strength.
As Du Shaolong thought, it would be fatal to offend either of them, and it would be hopeless to offend both.
Jane is Li Sharong’s only hope to escape the clutches of the Korean chaebols [large, family-controlled industrial conglomerates], so she naturally can’t make Jane angry.
“Okay, come on. Push me down,” Li Sharong said with tears in her eyes.
Ren Nana was not polite to her and pushed her.
However, Ren Nana didn’t really push her down, just pushed her symbolically, and the two were even.
“Mr. Yang, I’m going back to the hotel to rest. I’ll call you tonight. If you want to come out and play, come out, if you don’t want to, that’s fine. Okay?” Ren Nana said with a smile.
Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, “Okay! Then you go to the hotel to rest, be careful. Call me if you need anything, I will be responsible for your safety in Hai City.”
Ren Nana: “Hee hee… Okay. Then I’m leaving, bye bye.”
Ren Nana waved to Yang Chen and ran away happily.
Jane quickly said to Yang Chen, “Mr. Yang, are you free now? Let’s go sing together.”
Yang Chen: “Sing? I can’t sing foreign songs, and you can’t understand Dragon Country songs.”
Jane: “Haha… It doesn’t matter, we don’t need to sing, Lisa can sing for us. With her as a professional singer, we don’t need to sing.”
Yang Chen: “Haha… Okay, let’s go.”
Originally, Lisa had been recording a show all night and now urgently needed to go back to the hotel to sleep.
But Jane asked her to sing, so she could only follow obediently.
Soon, the three arrived at a clubhouse and asked for a private room to sing in.
The bodyguards guarded the door, not allowing anyone to approach.
Jane also carefully locked the door of the private room, then invited Yang Chen to sit down and enjoy Li Sharong’s singing.
Jane poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yang Chen, saying, “Mr. Yang, let’s drink and enjoy.”
Yang Chen nodded and took a sip of the wine.
Li Sharong sang and danced very hard, showing all her skills on the stage.
She was performing well, but Jane suddenly stopped her and said, “Lisa, perform
Li Sharong nodded and accepted without any hesitation.
Yang Chen didn’t know what song Jane was talking about, so to express his respect, he deliberately sat upright and waited for Li Sharong to perform.
Li Sharong picked up her phone, found the song and played it, and then she began to twist her body and perform along with the music.
At first, Yang Chen didn’t think there was anything wrong, anyway, the Korean girl group dances are all very flirtatious.
But as Li Sharong danced, something was wrong, she actually started taking off her clothes.
Yang Chen’s body suddenly moved back, thinking, “Damn! What’s going on? Isn’t it a performance for children? Impossible, impossible, Jane can’t be so generous, watching her girlfriend perform a show for me. I can’t see that he has this kind of hobby!”
However, Yang Chen obviously misjudged Jane and Li Sharong.
As the song progressed, Li Sharong’s clothes were taken off one by one.
Seeing that only close-fitting clothes were left, Yang Chen quickly covered his eyes and shouted, “Stop, stop, stop!”
Li Sharong stopped with a puzzled expression and quickly paused the music.
Jane quickly asked, “Mr. Yang, what’s wrong? Do you think she didn’t dance well? Please point it out, this is very important to Lisa.”
Yang Chen swallowed and cleared his throat, asking with a confused expression, “I said, you kid is not very old, how did you learn this kind of hobby? I know you foreigners are very open, but you can’t be so open, right? Can this kind of show be performed for me?”
Jane laughed and said, “Mr. Yang, don’t think too much.”
Yang Chen: “Wow, she’s already like this, and I shouldn’t think too much. If I don’t think too much, all her clothes will be gone. What do you mean, kid? What do you mean by letting her perform this show for me?”
Jane laughed and said, “Mr. Yang, don’t be angry, we don’t mean to disrespect you. Okay, I’ll tell you about Lisa, you’ll understand after you hear it.”
Yang Chen nodded and listened very carefully to Jane’s account of Li Sharong’s experience.
It’s still the situation I said before, the Korean entertainment industry is controlled by chaebols. Whether it’s a newcomer who has just debuted or a big-name star who has already become famous, without exception, they are all playthings of the chaebols.
For example, the Zhang Ziyan suicide incident that shocked the world that year, and the recently exposed news and videos of the SN era’s facade being secretly ruled by chaebols.
Li Sharong has to face the same experience in Korea.
She has no right to choose and refuse at all.
In order to get rid of the control of the Korean chaebols, Li Sharong hooked up with Jane.
But Jane is only the third son of LV, he doesn’t have any special rights and abilities himself, and he can’t spend huge sums of money to redeem Li Sharong, and even if he wants to buy it, the chaebols don’t want to sell it.
So Jane came up with a way for Li Sharong, which is to join the Dawn Society.
As a mysterious organization, the Dawn Society has many members around the world, and many of them are leaders in various industries, including many big stars from all over the world.
As long as Li Sharong can successfully join the Dawn Society, the Korean chaebols will have to let her go obediently.
But it is not so easy to join the Dawn Society. The senior management of the Dawn Society set two conditions for Li Sharong.
First, she has to perform at the Crazy Horse Show [a famous Parisian cabaret], five shows in three days. The first two shows are open to the public, and only VIP rich people can watch the last three shows, and the rich people are allowed to do whatever they want to a certain extent.
Second, sacrifice.
Li Sharong wants to join the Dawn Society to get rid of the chaebol control, and of course she doesn’t want to sacrifice herself.
So, she chose the first option.
She has been practicing that performance privately for some time.
From the initial embarrassment to the current generosity, it can be seen that she has completely let go.
After all, the biggest obstacle to this kind of performance is shame. Once you forget the shame, everything will be natural.
To put it another way, dancing for people to watch is better than being a plaything and being ravaged at will, right?
Her only worry now is that she doesn’t dance well and can’t satisfy those rich people. She can’t successfully join the Dawn Society, and she can’t get rid of the chaebol control.
Therefore, Jane suggested that she perform for Yang Chen, an honest man who has “never seen the world”. If he is satisfied, it means that her training is effective. If even he is not satisfied, how can she impress those rich people who have seen countless people?
After listening to Jane’s narration, Yang Chen was stunned.
Damn, there is such a awesome organization?
Before, Yang Chen thought that Wagner, Blackwater Group and other mercenary organizations were the most awesome organizations besides the governments of various countries in the world.
Now he knows that he still knows too little. Obviously, the Dawn Society in Jane’s mouth is even more awesome.
Yang Chen: “Damn! Jane, what you said just now really opened the door to a new world for me. I thought I was close to being invincible in the world, but I didn’t expect that there is such a powerful organization. I thought I was very powerful to challenge Wall Street without any effort, but now I realize that I am still very weak.”
Jane: “Haha… Mr. Yang, don’t say that. The Dawn Society is just a group to keep warm. No one is your opponent when you take them out individually, but when they are together, they are indeed a little better than you. However, this organization is very mysterious and low-key, and generally does not expose itself in public. Even the stars who join the Dawn Society will deliberately keep it secret. Except for showing the Dawn Society’s unique ‘holographic eye’ gesture in a very hidden way on important occasions, no one is allowed to expose their member status in public. I said before that I admire Mr. Yang very much and want to become as good as you. So, I have no reservations about you. However, I still hope that Mr. Yang can keep it secret for us and not mention the matter in this box to the fourth person. Can you?”
Yang Chen nodded and said, “Of course. Don’t worry, I will definitely keep it secret for you.”
Jane: “Thank you, Mr. Yang! Lisa, you should also thank Mr. Yang quickly.”
Li Sharong nodded with a smile and said, “Thank you, Mr. Yang. I will continue to perform, and Mr. Yang must watch carefully and give me the most honest evaluation. This is very important to me. Can you?”
Yang Chen was indeed a little embarrassed, but since people have asked so much, we can’t refuse, let’s take a look, don’t let people down.
“Okay! Come on, I will definitely watch carefully and give you the most realistic after-viewing feeling!” Yang Chen said with a smile.
Li Sharong nodded with a smile, turned on the music and continued her performance…
