The peninsula is like a shadow

How many young people in South Korea live in semi-basements? This is probably a terrifying number. Li Yan looked at the book in his hand, [The characteristic of capitalism is to maintain a large number of unemployed people so that they can exploit employees at will. ]

It seemed to be right. Li Yan touched his chin, looked at the cover of the book, and then turned to look at Pei Zhuxuan.

"sleepy."

Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes at Li Yan. She felt sleepy after reading only a few pages. She was a grown-up but didn't have the patience to read.

"This page has too many words and no pictures."

Pei Zhuxuan snatched the book back. Although she agreed with Li Yan's words in her heart, after all, she was also very sleepy when she was reading it, but now it was her turn to teach Li Yan a lesson. She said with full energy,
"How can you make progress if you don't read?"

"It's okay as long as you make progress. No, this book is poisonous. I'm too sleepy. Yeri, it's time to sleep. Oppa will hold you in his arms while you sleep."

Yeri ran out from the corridor wearing a small vest. Bae Joo-hyun looked at Yeri's outfit and couldn't help but sigh. Her family tradition was ruined by Yeri. She had such a big butt, but she was a fat girl wearing such small clothes.

Too lazy to talk, she watched Li Yan pick up Yeri by the waist. Yeri laughed happily, knowing that the two of them were going to sleep. Bae Joo-hyun looked at the book in her hand and thought, forget it, she would read it tomorrow. It was time for her to rest too. She would not sleep with them, what a bunch of bastards.

The moment she put the book on the coffee table, Bae Joo-hyun was suddenly stunned. Looking at the coffee table she was used to, Bae Joo-hyun suddenly realized that the price of this coffee table could be described as expensive, but she had not had this feeling for a long time.

Looking at the coffee table again, the "Das Kapital" on it seemed a little dazzling. There was a cup of water next to it. Although it looked no different from a glass cup, Pei Zhuxuan knew that it was a crystal cup. This made Pei Zhuxuan feel a little strange. When did her life become like this?

When a snack jar appeared in her sight, Bae Joo-hyun's gaze softened. This was what she bought for Oppa. It was only used to hold food. Oppa liked to sit on the floor and his arms were used to resting on a support.

Holding the snack jar in her arms, Bae Joo-hyun looked around and couldn't help but laugh happily. This was her life now, a life she had never imagined, but she lived a very comfortable life. Looking at the coffee table and the cup again, Bae Joo-hyun felt that she could accept it because it was the result of her and Oppa's hard work.

Because Li Yan always liked to put his elbow on the snack jar, the edge of the jar lid was polished to a shine. Bae Joo-hyun took it in front of her eyes and rubbed it on her face. It was indeed very smooth. Thinking about Li Yan's posture, she learned to put her elbow on it. Bae Joo-hyun realized that the jar that looked very small under Li Yan's arm looked like a big rag doll when she held it in her arms.

"It has been wandering for so long, but it has still grown so big."

Muttering something, Bae Joo-hyun put the jar back to its original place, lifted her little feet and placed them on the expensive coffee table. This made her very satisfied. She really wanted to say that the most important thing in life is not hard work, but choice.

But while Bae Joo-hyun was still sighing, Yeri's humming voice was heard from the other side. What a bastard, she was so anxious that she couldn't even close the bedroom door.

Oppa likes Yeri's laughter, he likes it very much, as if Yeri's laughter is a delicious dessert that he never gets tired of. After listening to it for so many years, Oppa has never been tired of it. Yeri, that heartless guy, probably doesn't know that Oppa has no reason to like her at all. Just her laughter is enough for Oppa to love her for a lifetime.

So where is the fairness in this world? Bae Joo-hyun even envied Yeri. From the first time she met Oppa to the choice after many twists and turns, she really thought about it for a long time, but Yeri did nothing. She might be sad occasionally because she lost Oppa, but she was extremely happy when she met Oppa again. She didn't consider any other factors and just stayed with Oppa.

Yeri's voice became louder, and she was still saying some nonsense, such as whether I was more gentle than Ouni, which made Pei Zhuxuan very upset. Pei Zhuxuan retracted her feet, left the sofa and walked to the door of their bedroom. The door was indeed not closed. She looked inside and saw Yeri's short legs pressed under her own arms. The scene was unbearable to watch.

"Don't mention my name."

"Unnie, come and play."

"Not coming."

"If you don't want to come, then don't come, Oppa, come on."

Come on, you are really not afraid of death. Bae Joo-hyun closed the bedroom door helplessly, went back to her bedroom and lay down for a while. Feeling sleepy, she crawled into the quilt, and lazily turned sideways, trying to stretch her legs, so that she could have a good sleep tonight.

~~~
Li Yan stood straight on purpose, so that Pei Zhuxuan couldn't reach his face even if she stood on tiptoe. Pei Zhuxuan tried twice and slapped Li Yan twice in anger.

"Bend over and stop making trouble."

Li Yan bent down, and Pei Zhuxuan carefully adjusted his crooked tie and gently patted his suit sleeves twice.

"Oppa, make good money."

"Shouldn't you go home early?"

Pei Zhuxuan glared at him, what an annoying guy, why did he go home so early? Li Yan smiled and pinched Pei Zhuxuan's face, then turned and walked out.

Basong opened the car door and Li Yan got in. There was actually another person in the car. Li Yan turned around and looked.
"What's going on? You look like you haven't woken up yet."

Min Zhou held Li Yan's arms with both hands.
"I just finished a CF and happened to be passing by here, so I asked Basong Oppa to give me a ride. I want to take a nap on the cot in the office. I'm so sleepy."

"No one is taking you home?"

“When I saw Basong Oba, I asked them to leave. They had all stayed with me for more than ten hours.”

Li Yan nodded, thinking this approach was fine. He looked at Min Zhou's expression and signaled Basong to drive.

Min-joo went straight to the lounge to sleep, and Li Yan worked as usual. Everything seemed to be fine, except for the occasional loud noise from a helicopter outside.

"Brother, do you think they need to spend a lot of money to do this? I heard that all shells are very expensive, just like the one fired by Dongda a few days ago."

"Then let me think about it, it will probably cost 3-4 million."

"Korean won? That's fine."

"US dollars, Korean won is only a few dollars."

Li Yan also saw the news on the Internet, but he thought it was very normal. Apart from anything else, he also had a contribution in the missile. After all, the cigarette he was smoking now was Lotus.

Basong's brain was obviously stuck. He was probably trying to figure out how much money it would be when converted into Korean won.

Li Yan looked at Basong's dazed look and couldn't help but smile. Military expenditures are like this. Food for men and horses is almost the lowest expense. Even for exercises, the expenditure for a round would probably be millions of US dollars. What's more, American Commissioner Smith would have to intervene.

"All this money is paid by South Korea. If it's not South Korea, then Japan will pay. The Americans will not pay. Not only will they not pay, but they will also charge for protection. I came to your exercise to help you, so you have to pay."

"That's too fucking unreasonable. I'm your dog, and I have to bring my own bones?"

Don't say that there is nothing wrong with Basong's analogy. Li Yan nodded, and Basong began to frown. Obviously, this was beyond his expectations. Li Yan could only explain,
"You either make this choice or the Americans beat you into submission and you still have to pay. This is the old logic. In the final analysis, South Korea has no ability to resist. With this terrain, if it is surrounded by the navy, there is nowhere to escape."

“The sorrow of a small country?”

Li Yan couldn't say, at least in the world ruled by the Americans, this was the truth. However, Li Yan felt that he was witnessing history. Although he had bad intentions, as a person from the University of Tokyo, he still hoped that the Han and Tang dynasties would reappear. "We don't have nuclear weapons in Thailand either."

Li Yan didn't want to say anything about Basong's complaints. What's the current situation in Thailand? Apart from anything else, your annual conscription in Thailand has become an international joke. He has seen funny videos about conscription on short videos more than once.

If no one in a country is willing to serve in the army, this already explains a lot of problems. This is not something that can be solved by having nuclear weapons. Just like South Korea, Commander Xu had talked to me before, and the President is preparing to cut the soldiers' food expenses again. It sounds like South Korean soldiers eat very well.

But when the budget really reached the soldiers' mouths, Li Yan had been a soldier. Even pigs would not be happy if he told them pig food. And no one knew how many times the commander-in-chief had been kicked in the head by a donkey. He had begun to openly reveal his idea of ​​selling out South Korea completely. However, even so, he still had supporters.

I don't know about other places, but in South Korea, people of different ages have completely different thoughts in their minds. They have been arguing for decades about whether or not to get rid of American control. Are there passionate young people? Of course there are. Protests, marches, and self-harm have all appeared.

But when the time comes to decide one's fate, the votes will be cast in a mess, just like the previous president, an thoughtful person who inherited his teacher's legacy and wanted to save the Korean people. Now he is being disciplined and dares not speak out. Even so, his family is being constantly disturbed by lawsuits.

Li Yan doesn't know whether those cases are true or not, but Li Yan will not be emotionally affected. However, Koreans are notoriously emotional animals. They seem to be in an over-the-top state all day long. He doesn't know who is the mastermind behind this, and what benefits can be brought by doing this.

That's right, interests. Li Yan has seen this clearly. Behind any major event, there must be interests involved. On a larger scale, it is a question of who has the dominant power. On a smaller scale, it is a matter of personal gain.

Just like some parades need to hire people, 200,000 won per person per day. Walking from here to there, Li Yan saw many fake Dongda students with smiling faces, with a piece of cloth with strange slogans tied on their heads. This can be considered a part-time job. As for what they do, they don't care.

"Basong, how can you tell the difference between Dongda, Korean, and Japanese people at a glance?"

"The temperament is different. It's very easy, I mean in most cases."

As for temperament, Li Yan thought about it carefully and it might be related to the environment, or it might not be related. However, he understood what Basong meant. After all, he knew at first glance that those part-time parade participants were fake, even though they were mixed in the team.

"Didn't Madam arrange for me to attend some nursing home or similar charity event?"

“The fund does not have this kind of business.”

“No respect for the elderly?”

"No, the foundation is not a national pension, why should we care about it?"

Li Yan couldn't describe how he felt, but since his madam had made the decision, then let it be. Look at Basong's as-a-matter-of-course look, and Li Yan actually felt that he was right.

"Madam said that young people and children are the ones who will support Big Brother the most in the future, and those old guys can just die if they have nothing to do."

"Basong, my wife said this?"

"That's probably what it meant. I forgot the exact words. Madam spoke very elegantly. I just extracted the meaning."

Li Yan really wanted to kick Basong. He even began to suspect that the few times when he returned home, Xiao Miao punished him because Basong had relayed the wrong information. With such a personal bodyguard, Li Yan could only endure it.

"So I don't have any plans for the next few days, right?"

"It's next Wednesday, and it's still at Dongdaemun. It's a charity event for unemployed young people. Madam said she will prepare a speech for you."

Basong laughed after he finished speaking. Li Yan began to pinch his brows and had to give a speech according to the script. Although he had no problem speaking in front of a crowd, Li Yan began to have a headache when he thought about the contents of the speech, even if he hadn't seen it. It was probably some words of encouragement and criticism, and it felt very strange to say them out of his own mouth.

"If not, just kill them."

This is what Li Yan wanted to say, but Xiao Miao would never allow it. He wanted to be like a successful person who had gone through hardships and washed away the dust, and have a friendly conversation with these young people who still had dreams.

When I was this age, I was chopping and weaving on the red-light district all day long. What could I communicate? It was like forcing someone to do something they were not prepared for.

"Oppa, why are you frowning? It's not good-looking and it makes you wrinkle easily."

Min Zhou walked out of the lounge, wearing a thin silk pajamas. Basong saw the door of the lounge open and got up and walked out. Li Yan looked at Min Zhou's two beautiful legs exposed and hugged Min Zhou in his arms.

"Have you had enough sleep?"

"Not yet. I woke up hungry. I want to eat something delicious."

"Then eat something delicious."

Li Yan looked at the work on the desk, but unexpectedly Min Zhou shook his head.

"I can order takeout myself. Oppa still has to work and can't be lazy. If Oppa is lazy, who will make money to buy delicious food for me?"

Of course you don't lack delicious food, but Li Yan understood Min Zhou's meaning, kissed Min Zhou's face, and simply kept her in his arms. Min Zhou looked at the menu and Li Yan looked at the documents. The fragrant Min Zhou made Li Yan feel very happy at work.

"Oppa, can you come home with me tonight?"

"Ah."

"Hye-won has also finished her schedule. I'll ask her if she wants to come back later."

"Ah."

"Oppa, Eunbi seems to be pregnant."

"Ok?"

Li Yan put down the documents in his hand and looked sideways at Min Zhou's profile. Min Zhou pointed at two dishes on the menu and said in confusion,

"That's how I felt. Eunbi didn't say it, but I felt like she suddenly became lazy. Isn't it said that pregnant women become lazy?"

"If it can make you feel lazy, then it really is lazy."

Li Yan seemed to be talking nonsense, but the fact was that the lazy guy in the family was Min Zhou. If a lazy guy talked about others, there must be some problems. However, if she was pregnant, she was pregnant. I think the wife at home should know.

"Maybe not. Who knows? Anyway, we'll know when we get home tonight. Oppa, I want to eat this."

Li Yan first called his secretary to ask the chef in the cafeteria to cook for Min Zhou, and then thought about Concubine Eun. It was useless to think too much, so he would wait and see in the evening. If Concubine Eun was pregnant, it didn't seem to be a big deal. (End of this chapter)
