Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 454 Park Ji-yeon's Discovery
In the morning in Fengtian City, although it was just after seven o'clock, the sun was already high in the sky.

At this time, Park Hyomin also followed Huang Xu back to the downstairs of the hotel.

"Well, I'll go up first."

After getting off the car, Park Hyomin looked around cautiously. After finding that there was no familiar person, she quickly said something to Huang Xu behind her.

Huang Xu simply waved his hand at her in response to her behavior.

"Well, go up quickly, I'll go up later."

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

Park Hyomin did not hesitate. After saying goodbye to Huang Xu, she lowered her head and walked quickly towards the elevator.

Although it is still relatively early, my teammates who are used to going to bed late and getting up late, as well as the staff of the program crew, are unlikely to get up today when there is no shooting plan in the morning.

But when Park Hyomin left, she was still very careful, for fear of meeting someone familiar.

Fortunately, she was lucky today. She didn't meet anyone along the way. She took the elevator and returned smoothly to the door of her and Park So-yeon's room.

But before she could rejoice, a voice sounded behind her.

"Unnie, what are you doing?"

"Why did you get up so early?"

“Uh~~, it’s Jiyeon!”

When Park Hyomin heard the voice, she froze there and her heartbeat instantly accelerated, almost jumping out of her chest.

Fortunately, she had imagined this situation before she came back, so she quickly calmed down and turned calmly to look at Park Ji-yeon behind her.

"Jiyeon, why are you up so early?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that you were exhausted and wanted to rest a little longer today?"

"Yeah, I was exhausted yesterday, and I want to have a good rest."

"But thinking about what you said yesterday, Huang Xu was so good to us and created such good conditions for us."

"So I couldn't sleep and planned to get up in the morning to study Chinese for a while."

Park Ji-yeon stared into Park Hyo-min's eyes, gave a brief explanation, and then asked her previous question again.

"So, why are you up so early, Ernie?"

"And what did you do when you went out?"

"I"

Listening to Park Ji-yeon's explanation, Park Hyomin was now feeling extremely regretful, just like Huang Xu did last night.

She was regretting why she said those words to them yesterday?
If I hadn't said those words yesterday to stimulate them, then Park Ji-yeon would not have gotten up early to study today, but would have slept in like usual.

Unfortunately, it was too late for her to regret now, as Park Ji-yeon had already caught her.

Fortunately, before returning, she had already discussed countermeasures with Huang Xu in the taxi.

"As for me, I went out to look for Huang Xu this morning."

"Didn't I show you Sunny's instructions yesterday?"

"I went to meet him this morning, had breakfast together, and told him about Sunny's affairs."

"Really?"

Although Park Hyomin has been explaining very seriously, and even took out the chat records she showed them yesterday to support her words.

But Park Ji-yeon still looked at Park Hyomin with a scrutinizing look.

"Is it necessary for you to dress so formally when you go to see Huang Xu?"

"I remember you only wore this outfit once during the filming in Magic City."

"And you're not even wearing stockings. Aren't you cold in the morning?"

"I"

Hearing Park Ji-yeon's questioning, Park Hyo-min couldn't help but move the windbreaker in her hand down a little bit to cover her exposed beautiful legs.

At the same time, I was also missing my stockings that were damaged by Huang Xu yesterday.

Although Huang Xu felt sorry for himself last night, nothing really happened.

But this morning, she was still pulled by Huang Xu, and she used her stockings, her hands, and even her breasts and mouth to help Huang Xu solve the problem.

Naturally, she couldn't keep her pair of stockings anymore, at least she couldn't wear them now.

This is also the reason why she got up very early but only came back now.

But these are off topic. After hesitating for a moment, Park Hyomin quickly came up with a reason.

"I must be cold. Can't you see I'm wearing a windbreaker?"

"As for why I wear this, of course it's because Sunny told me to, right?"

"She specifically told me yesterday to dress nicer when I go to see Huang Xu."

"This way, if there are other people around Huang Xu, I can do it too."

"I see, that's how it is!"

"I was wondering why I saw you and Huang Xu getting out of the taxi together at the window just now!"

Although Park Hyomin didn't finish her words, Park Jiyeon already understood what she meant clearly.

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, it does make sense.

But why would Sunny do this?

Park Ji-yeon was immersed in doubts and did not notice Park Hyomin sitting opposite her. After hearing what she said, her body froze.

Park Hyomin didn't expect that when she and Huang Xu got out of the car together, they would be seen by Park Ji-yeon.

At the same time, he was secretly thankful that he had not lied to her about this just now, otherwise the current situation would be a bit awkward.

Just when Park Hyomin was secretly rejoicing, Park Jiyeon, who was sitting opposite her, thought for a short while and then looked at Park Hyomin curiously.

"So, unnie, when you met Huang Xu in the morning, was there anyone else around him?"

"He already has Sunny, will he look for someone else?"

"Of course not!"

"If there was, would I come back with him?"

Seeing that Park Ji-yeon no longer had any doubts about her, Park Hyomin breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect that Park Ji-yeon actually believed the reason she made up on the spur of the moment.

However, although Park Ji-yeon was no longer concerned about the fact that she had gone to see Huang Xu early in the morning, she was curious about Huang Xu and Sunny's explanation again.

"Really, unnie? Could it be that when you went there, he had already chased the person away?"

"Otherwise, why would Sunny-unnie specifically ask you to go meet him?"

"Probably not!"

"We've known each other for such a long time, he shouldn't be that kind of person."

"Think about it, he's our boss, but he never harassed us, right?"

After listening to Park Ji-yeon's guess, Park Hyo-min felt like crying but had no tears at this moment.

She didn't expect that the reason she made up on the spur of the moment would lead Park Ji-yeon to make such a guess.

There were even some doubts about Huang Xu's character.

But in this situation, she could only try her best to help Huang Xu explain. However, Park Ji-yeon still did not give up her idea in the face of Park Hyo-min's explanation, and then said to Park Hyo-min.

"Yes, he did not harass us after he became our boss."

"But could this be because we know Sunny and Hara?"

"Also, I've seen him in a bar before, and he..."

Huang Xu, who was unaware that his reputation had been damaged, waited downstairs at the hotel for a few minutes. Only after he felt that Park Hyomin had returned to the room did he turn around and enter the hotel.

Then, he found Park Soo-geun and Lim Young-chul who had just woken up, and went to yesterday's conference room for the meeting.

First, he expressed his appreciation for the two's work over the past few days and praised them a few words.

Then I asked a question about their shooting plan.

"I looked at your filming plan and the previous footage, and it seems that I didn't see you go to the bathing center."

"I remember that this was also the filming location in my early plans?"

"Producer Jin, this is what happened!"

After hearing Huang Xu's doubts, Park Soo Geun and Lin Yongzhe looked at each other and then began to explain to Huang Xu.

"You did have a plan to shoot at a bathing center in your previous plan, but when we were preparing the shooting plan, after a vote by all, we finally gave up this location."

"Oh, why?"

Huang Xu didn't seem angry when he heard that they gave up this location.

After all, they did it in accordance with their own requirements, listened to the opinions of all staff members, and voted to cancel it.

He was just curious as to why these people would choose to abandon this location at the same time.

According to his understanding, this place is quite unique and interesting!

Seeing that Huang Xu didn't seem angry, Lin Yongzhe felt relieved and began to explain to Huang Xu.

“Maybe it’s because there are so many bath centers and steam rooms in Seoul, and so many programs have filmed them there!”

"Also, we heard from the translator that it seems that only the northern part of China likes to go to these public bathrooms, while the southern part basically washes at home."

“Also, it’s more difficult to coordinate when filming in the bathroom.”

“So we gave up on this location.”

"That's right! I understand."

After listening to their explanations, Huang Xu also understood why they gave up shooting at this location.

To put it bluntly, it is because they don’t understand this place and don’t know what the bathing center here is like.

You might even think that the bathing centers here are the same as those in Seoul.

But I can’t blame them.

Not to mention foreigners like them, the bathing culture in Fengtian is probably not well understood by most Chinese people who have never been here.

Even the Chinese who come here generally don't come here to travel or live unless they are accompanied by relatives or friends.

After all, who would go back to a bath center to eat, sleep and play for no reason?
But this is only the present, an era when self-media is not so developed.

In a few years, with the development of mobile Internet and the self-media industry, the bathing center in Fengtian City will no longer be so unknown.

It is famous throughout China for its luxurious decoration, rich entertainment activities and various kinds of food.

This also makes this place have the title of China's bathing ceiling.

So after Huang Xu understood their thoughts, he spoke to them.

"I suggest you go there and investigate in person to see the real situation before deciding whether to film or not!"

"Yes, we will go over and take a good look!"

Although Huang Xu did not give a clear order and used the word "suggestion", Park Soo-geun and Lim Young-chul did not dare to take it lightly.

He stated directly that he would personally lead people to investigate.

Huang Xu then explained some things to the two people in the conference room and let them leave.

The two of them still need to organize today's shooting, and I can't take up too much of their time.

After the two left, Huang Xu continued the work that he had not completed yesterday, watching the shot video materials and then writing the shooting script records.

At the same time, Park Soo-geun and the other person, who had just left the meeting room, tacitly said nothing until they returned to Park Soo-geun's room.

As the chief PD of the program team, he still has many privileges.

The simplest difference is that he lives alone in his room, which is a suite with a living room.

Apart from him and Lin Yongzhe, no one else can enjoy this treatment.

The remaining staff, and even Tara's artists, were all roomed with two or even three people.

After returning to the room, Park Soo-geun first helped Lin Yongzhe get a bottle of water, and then couldn't wait to ask Lin Yongzhe.

"Brother Lin Yongzhe, what did producer Jin mean just now?"

“What’s so good about filming a bath center?”

“At most there are some steam rooms or some amusement facilities. I don’t think there is much to shoot!”

"I don't know either!"

Lin Yongzhe also showed a puzzled expression.

Like Park Soo-geun, he is now unable to guess Huang Xu's thoughts and doesn't know why Huang Xu insists on asking them to go to the bath center to shoot.

He had filmed this place many times when he had just graduated and was interning at a TV station.

I really can't think of anything to photograph.

The two of them stayed in the room, thinking for several minutes, but still couldn't guess what the reason was.

Finally, seeing that it was time to gather, the two had no choice but to give up.

Then Lim Young-chul said to Park Soo-geun.

"Well, since the filming cannot be postponed, let's make preparations for both scenarios."

"When we shoot later, I'll take people to the bath center to investigate, and you take people out to shoot."

"If that place is suitable for filming, I will check it out first to see what highlights and selling points it has."

"Stop those writers and ask them to prepare some suitable mini-games. Then film some of their game-making content."

"That's the only way!"

Park Soo-geun nodded and agreed to Lin Yongzhe's arrangement.

"Anyway, as long as we've filmed it and put in the effort, whether or not to use it when the time comes is a question that producer Jin needs to consider."

"That's it."

After making the decision, the two began to divide the work and started making their own arrangements.

But when Lin Yongzhe, along with a camera crew member, followed the tour guide to a relatively large local bathing center, he was dumbfounded.

He looked at the magnificent building in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and asked the tour guide next to him in an incredulous tone.

"Ah Yixi, are you sure this is a bathing center?"

"Instead of a shopping mall, library, science museum or something like that?"
