The Aloof Little Puppy Is Super Obedient - Chapter 27

After finishing their meal, Chu Jingtian took Su Jingyang to the company’s training room to begin his preparation.

“Remember, this is your training phase. You must practice diligently!” Chu Jingtian said seriously. “Though with your looks, you could honestly just eat based on your face alone!”

Chu Jingtian was telling the truth. Seeing how handsome his younger brother had become was a source of pride for him. Looking at the boy who had grown up so suddenly, he felt deeply sentimental. It felt as if many years had passed in a heartbeat, and they were both getting older. He sighed, overwhelmed by how quickly time moved. At first, time seemed to crawl; now, it felt like it was slipping through their fingers.

Su Jingyang listened and nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry, Brother. If I enter the entertainment industry, I will definitely make a name for myself for you!”

Chu Jingtian patted his back. “As long as you have confidence, I believe you will succeed.” He then began to explain the specific rules of the entertainment world. He knew Su Jingyang’s family background was extraordinary—matching his own—but he reiterated that once you enter this industry, certain things simply cannot be done.

Su Jingyang listened obediently to the lecture. He was genuinely happy. Even though he had to listen to “nonsense” from his brother, after so many years of being apart, just being in the same room was a joy. For years, they had been separated by great distances; now they could finally look at the world together and discuss work. To him, every moment was precious.

After the tour, Chu Jingtian left Su Jingyang in the practice room to begin his exercises. Seeing Su Jingyang working so hard brought a smile to Chu Jingtian’s face. He was glad to see his brother finding his spirit.

“Practice well here for a bit. I’m going back to handle some work; I still have a lot of things piled up.”

Su Jingyang nodded, and Chu Jingtian headed back to his office.

Upon entering his office, Chu Jingtian found Zhang Yang already sitting there. He looked at Zhang Yang with a serious expression, wondering why the CEO was back in his space again.

“I didn’t realize our great CEO Zhang was so idle. Are you here to explore an employee’s office?” Chu Jingtian asked with a hint of doubt.

Zhang Yang let out a helpless sigh. “As the president of this company, I just want to check on my employees and show some concern. Is that not allowed?”

Chu Jingtian sighed at Zhang Yang’s gravity, sat back at his desk, and resumed his work. “Fine. I know I can’t outtalk you.”

Zhang Yang watched him for a moment, then walked over and patted Chu Jingtian’s back. “By the way, I heard you brought your brother into the industry. With his looks, he could debut instantly!”

Zhang Yang’s praise was sincere. With Su Jingyang’s appearance, breaking through the competition in the entertainment circle would be easy. Chu Jingtian smiled and shared a few thoughts.

“Even if he’s at our company, we’ll give him the appropriate resources and let him develop on his own. But when allocating resources, we must watch closely…”

Zhang Yang smiled, noticing Chu Jingtian’s underlying worry. “I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about this brother of yours to the point of constantly worrying if he’ll face issues.”

Zhang Yang sighed. He didn’t quite understand Chu Jingtian’s internal conflict. Chu Jingtian clearly cared deeply for Su Jingyang, yet he maintained such a cold, professional exterior.

“Do you still remember the principles we established when we first started this entertainment agency?” Chu Jingtian asked. “The rule that no matter who joins, we provide resources equally? Whether they become a hit or not isn’t up to us; we just provide the necessary platform.”

The company’s philosophy was simple: every actor should have a fair chance and the resources to succeed. They didn’t play favorites. They gave the resources, and if someone became a star, it was their destiny. If they didn’t, the company would continue to support them, but the ultimate “spark” was up to fate.

Zhang Yang noticed Chu Jingtian still held these rules sacred. “I didn’t realize you still cared so much about these technicalities.” He patted Chu Jingtian’s back. “Didn’t I tell you at the beginning? Principles can be broken under certain circumstances. For example, your brother’s looks are top-tier; we could appropriately push him a bit harder…”

“Stop right there,” Chu Jingtian interrupted firmly. He looked at Zhang Yang with a sharp, serious gaze. “The most important thing about this company is our adherence to principle. We pride ourselves on fairness. If we act otherwise, how are we any different from the other agencies?”

Zhang Yang saw there was no arguing with him and sighed. Chu Jingtian was a purist regarding these rules because he believed everyone was unique. To attract more talent, the company had to maintain its integrity.

“I thought you understood our core values,” Chu Jingtian continued, launching into a lecture. “If you remember the rules but don’t understand the core, you haven’t truly learned.”

Zhang Yang listened to the lecture, his brow furrowing. He hadn’t expected Chu Jingtian to be so uncompromising. While they had set these rules at the founding, Zhang Yang believed they could be flexible for those close to them. It might be slightly unorthodox, but they were in the business of results and interests.

Seeing Chu Jingtian’s unwavering pursuit of these principles, Zhang Yang gave in. “Fine, since you’re so dedicated to this, I won’t say more.”

Chu Jingtian was so persistent that Zhang Yang knew if he argued further, he’d be met with even more lectures. He reached out and lightly patted Chu Jingtian’s cheek. “I didn’t think you’d still be this stubborn. When we started, I thought we could really discuss things. I didn’t expect this habit of yours to be so deep-seated.”

Ever since they first met, Chu Jingtian had been like this, always pursuing a certain level of principled behavior. Yet, it was precisely this trait that had brought the company to its current prestigious position. Without their reputation for integrity, they wouldn’t be so well-loved by actors or have developed so rapidly.

“Alright,” Zhang Yang conceded. “Since you are so committed to these principles, I have nothing more to say. We set these rules when we built this company. If we break them now, we are indeed breaking our word.”

“I understand your thoughts,” Chu Jingtian replied. “As the company grows larger, these values become even more vital to maintain.”
