Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 134 It’s Hard Not to Get Rich
Park Jong-min was stunned for two seconds, then waved his hand and said, "PD Qi, there's no need to apologize. I was just too anxious."

Qi Yaojiu also raised his hand and said, "Director, please listen to me first."

These words made Park Jong-min feel a little uneasy.

Although Ji Yaojiu only joined the company last year, from the day of the interview until just now, Ji Yaojiu always gave Park Jongmin and others the impression of being a confident person, very smart and talented.

Perhaps his prominence made other people who joined the company at the same time jealous, and even the seniors who joined earlier jealous. They felt that Qi Yaojiu was arrogant in the broadcasting station and looked down on others because he relied on the support of the directors.

But these rumors behind the scenes never affect Qi Yaojiu.

Park Jong-min believed that Ki Yo-gu must have heard of it, but he was still able to bring out "New Journey to the West", "Three Meals a Day", and the TV series "Shining Legacy" which achieved equally good results in its first broadcast.

This is Qi Yaojiu, the one who always rewards those who support him.

A super rookie who will get good results as long as he says he will do something.

But he apologized, just now.

And his apology doesn't seem to be due to the lack of new program plans.

Bad premonitions always become reality.

The slight uneasiness that arose in Director Park Jong-min's heart the previous second became reality the next second.

Qi Yaojiu continued, "Actually, I do have plans for a new show."

Park Jong-min suppressed his excitement and nodded, waiting for Ki Yo-jiu to continue.

He has denied it twice, and suddenly changed the subject. The focus is definitely not on the new program planning.

Qi Yaojiu subconsciously looked at the office door.

This action made Park Jong-min even more uneasy.

All I heard was Qi Yaojiu saying, "I plan to quit after the TV series ends."

Almost immediately, Park Jong-min stood up from the sofa, looked down at Qi Yaojiu who was sitting on the sofa, and shouted excitedly: "What did you say?"

Qi Yaojiu remained calm, then stood up from the sofa, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Director-nim."

This was the second time he apologized. Park Jong-min shook his head and said, "No, don't say sorry to me. PD Qi, you must be kidding me, right?"

Standing up straight, Qi Yaojiu said in a firm tone: "Director Nim, I'm not kidding."

Park Jong-min paced back and forth with his hands on his hips.

After walking around the sofa a few times, he stood in front of Qi Yaojiu and said, "Don't worry, I will transfer those who gossip about you to the local broadcasting station. As for the entertainment center, PD Luo Yingshi and you will be the main focus for the next few years. No matter what support you need, I will find a way to give it to you."

"PD Qi, don't worry about those irrelevant people. You just need to show your talent. Just like PD Na Young-seok, I will allow you to walk sideways in the entertainment center."

"And, you..."

Qi Yaojiu interrupted Park Jongmin,
He could intuitively feel the director's preference.

It is not easy to make a decision in a very short time.

Those who were exiled had opinions or even hostility towards Qi Yaojiu, and they were all old people who had worked in the company for several years.

Even if such people have no connections or background at the beginning, they will gradually take sides and accumulate connections such as geographical connections, campus connections, and clan connections.

It seems that Park Jong-min said it very easily, but if he really wants to start cleaning up certain people, it will be very difficult to do so, and it is not ruled out that he will be implicated as well.

Especially that Yoon Ji-hye.

Although her sister, the screenwriter, is not a famous screenwriter in the industry, she is definitely not a small figure after working in the broadcasting station for so many years.

Qi Yaojiu kept saying, "Director, calm down first. Calm down and listen to me, okay?"

Park Jong-min, who kept his hands on his hips, also showed his anger in front of Ki Yo-gu for the first time, cursing: "Shit, who is doing such shameful things?"

Qi Yaojiu explained: "Director-nim, my departure has nothing to do with anyone, really."

Park Jong-min looked straight into Ki Yo-gu's eyes and asked after a moment, "You didn't lie, so why?"

Qi Yaojiu signaled the director to calm down, asked him to sit down again, handed him a teacup, and then slowly told Park Jongmin why he wanted to leave.

There were no unusual sounds coming from the office.

The busy staff in the corridor were in a hurry, and only occasionally would one of them glance at the director's office.

In the big office.

Yoon Ji-hye and others gathered together again.

Besides discussing the ratings for the TV series premiere last night, they also talked about how the director had called Ki Yo-gu into his office right after he arrived that morning. Employee A: "I bet the director-nim was in the office celebrating with Ki Yo-gu."

Staff B: "I never thought that the premiere ratings of 'Brilliant Inheritance' would surpass 'Boys Over Flowers'"

Staff C: "They must have used some trickery to increase the ratings."

Staff D: "Is Writer Yin-nim okay?"

Yoon Ji-hye: "It wouldn't be a bad thing if 'Brilliant Inheritance''s ratings could really break 45%."

Several people were immediately shocked when they heard what Yoon Ji-hye said.

It's like losing the bet to Qi Yaojiu's team. How can I face the people from Qi Yaojiu's team at the entertainment center in the future?

Yoon Ji-hye said something that confused the others, "Are you really going to stay at the broadcasting station?"

Most people think that if the ratings of a TV series can exceed 45% for the first time, such an achievement is definitely a treasure in the hands of the leaders.

Not only will it be the ratings champion this year, it will also be among the top ten ratings in all previous years.

Qi Yaojiu really achieved it, and he was more than just walking around the entertainment center with his head held high.

A newcomer can do whatever he wants in the broadcasting station.

Staff A: "Shh, someone's coming."

Several people looked towards the door of the large office at the same time.

Qi Yaojiu is back and looks no different from usual.

He went straight back to his seat, and a minute later got up and went to the "Three Meals a Day" meeting room.

Soon, Lee Eun-young, Kim Ji-hwan and Choi Jin-na also arrived.

Watching these people enter the conference room, Employee A said again: "Why do I feel like something big is happening?"

Staff B: "No way, Qi Yaojiu's team has a new program plan?"

Employee C: "He's filming a TV series, so he doesn't have time for anything else."

Staff D: "Don't forget, Qi Yaojiu was also preparing for "Three Meals a Day" while he was working on "New Journey to the West"."

Yoon Ji-hye clenched her fists, placed her right index finger on top of them, gently supported the tip of her nose, and supported her elbows on the table, staring at the "Three Meals a Day" meeting room without saying a word.

It’s hard to say what happened. Maybe the wind direction has changed again, or they decided to continue supporting Qi Yaojiu.

"Writer Yin."

Hearing someone calling her, Yoon Ji-hye quickly looked up.

PD Jin Nan waved from a distance, "Come with me."

Not knowing what was going on, Yoon Ji-hye stood up, left her desk and followed PD Kim Nam. Several other staff members also returned to their workstations, but they were still curious about the situation in the "Three Meals a Day" meeting room.

At this time, in the "Three Meals a Day" conference room.

Qi Yaojiu got straight to the point and said, "Director-nim came to me this morning. I've already told Director-nim that I will resign from the broadcasting station after the TV series ends."

Li Enying and Jin Zhihuan were confused.

When they looked at Choi Zhenna, they found that she was quite calm, as if she had known about this for a long time.

Without waiting for them to ask, Qi Yaojiu continued, "I told PD Choi a long time ago that she would leave with me. We plan to set up a production company. I asked you to come here to ask for your opinion and whether you are willing to leave with us."

"Don't rush to answer. You will encounter many difficulties in the beginning. You may not even get paid. Think it over before making a decision. Just give me the answer on the set the day after tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, Li Enying said, "PDnim, I don't need a salary, as long as I can be with PDnim and Choi PDnim."

Jin Zhihuan immediately raised his hand: "Me too, salary or not..."

Qi Yaojiu pressed his hand: "Think it over before making a decision."

Li Enying was very determined, saying word by word, "I've thought it through. Apart from our team, I won't have the opportunity to learn anything useful. Even if I spend a lot of money to please many people, I may not learn anything. So why not go with you? I'm not stupid."

Jin Zhihuan agreed, "I'm not stupid. I might not get paid in the short term if I follow PDnim, but after the program is produced, the salary and bonuses will definitely be higher than those from the broadcasting station. The copyright is in PDnim's hands, so it's hard not to get rich, really."

Qi Yaojiu was really surprised that the two of them thought so clearly.

Glancing at Choi Jinna next to her, Choi Jinna said, "What are you looking at? My demand for 13th salary in the employment contract will not be reduced. If you don't pay me, I will file a complaint with the Labor Bureau."
