Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 192: Ji Eun, if you have the chance, invite him to your home for dinner
In front of a convenience store near Lee Ji-eun's dormitory in Samseong-dong.

"tatter"

After editing the text message and clicking send, Lee Ji-eun looked up at the few stars and slowly looked away.

As he turned and walked towards the dormitory, he clenched his right fist and muttered, "I must succeed and repay him."

"Ding"

A text message alert sounds.

After seeing the content of the text message, Lee Ji-eun muttered to herself while editing the text message and walking towards the dormitory.

The message was sent to my cousin Zhang Enxi.

Because of an unexpected incident in which her mother guaranteed for a friend, Lee Ji-eun and her younger brother Lee Jong-hoon were sent to live with their aunt in Gwangju and their grandmother at a very young age.

Cousin Zhang Enxi also grew up with Li Zhien.

Just now, Lee Ji-eun went to the convenience store to send the dried fruits, straw hats, tiger ointment and other souvenirs and special products that Ki Yo-gu asked her agent Bae Jong-han to give to her to her aunt's house in Gwangju.

Back in the dormitory, Lee Ji-eun, lying on the bed, was still looking back at the text message chat history between Zhang Enxi and her.

Zhang Enxi first asked Li Zhien how to send things over there. When she learned that they were souvenirs and special products bought from Country T, she asked Li Zhien when she went to Country T.

When they walked downstairs to the dormitory building, Lee Ji-eun's last reply was to tell Jang Eun-hee that the gifts sent to Gwangju were actually bought for her by the production team PD.

Lee Ji-eun said this to Jang Eun-hee after careful consideration.

However, five minutes have passed since I sent this message, but I still haven't received a reply from Zhang Enxi.

Feeling sleepy, Lee Ji-eun could not remember when she fell asleep.

When Li Zhien was woken up by the phone, she mumbled in a daze: "Hello."

"Jie Eun, are you asleep?"

Hearing the familiar voice, IU immediately perked up.

He half sat up on the mattress, leaned against the headboard and responded: "Grandma, I miss you."

The kind voice on the other end of the phone came again: "I miss my dear granddaughter too. Are you doing well in Seoul? Is your work going well? Have you eaten on time? Now is the time for growth. Don't make yourself suffer. Save the money you earn for yourself to buy more food and clothes, okay?"

With a sore nose, Li Zhien muttered: "I know why grandma thought of calling me."

Grandma paused and said, "Enxi said you sent us a lot of things."

Li Zhien raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes and said: "Yes, they were all bought from Country T."

Grandma then asked, "Eun-hee said the production team PD bought it for you?"

Lee Ji-eun took the phone and looked at it. It was now 28:10 p.m. on the 20th. She guessed that Zhang Enxi didn't reply to her message before because she went to cram school. She just got home from get out of class and told her grandmother what she had said to her as soon as she got home.

Not only that, my aunt, uncle and Li Zhongxun should have heard about it.

Not hearing Li Zhien's voice, grandma continued with some concern: "Zhien, don't easily accept gifts from others when you are outside. Grandma is not saying that there are many bad people in the world, but you are still young and don't understand a lot. No one will be nice to someone for no reason. Do you understand what grandma is saying?"

Coming back to her senses, Li Zhien blurted out: "Grandma, Oppa is not that kind of person."

Grandma's voice became a little surprised, and she asked Li Zhien: "What did you call that person?"

Li Zhien explained: "Grandma, don't get me wrong. Everyone who recorded the show with us called him Oppa. He used to be a PD at K Broadcasting Station. He is a very good person and has no bad intentions, really."

As if afraid her grandmother wouldn't believe her, IU recounted her first encounter with Ki Yo-gu, how they had dinner together, how Ki Yo-gu gave her a special gift, and how he took her to film a new program. Her aunt, cousin, and brother were also on the call with her grandmother, and IU specifically emphasized several programs Ki Yo-gu had produced, especially the drama "Brilliant Inheritance."

This TV series has the highest ratings this year, and its audience age range far exceeds that of TV series of other themes.

As expected, grandma also watched "Brilliant Inheritance" and after listening to the stories told by Li Zhien, she asked: "Ji Eun, is such a big shot really so good to you?"

Li Zhien replied with great certainty: "Really grandma, Oppa is really good to me."

Zhang Enxi yelled, "Will our Jieun become a big star soon?"

Before Li Zhien could speak, Li Zhongxun's voice also reached Li Zhien's ears: "How can she be a big star in that state? What a joke!"

Li Zhien's mouth twitched, and she shouted directly into the phone: "Hey, Li Zhongxun, do you want to die?"

The phone seemed to be in the hands of my aunt, who gently asked, "Jie Eun, you don't have any special relationship with that producer, right?"

The question was asked very politely. Li Zhien understood what her aunt meant and explained: "No, I will repay him when I make money in the future."

Zhang Enxi suddenly let out a strange cry. Li Zhien could clearly hear Zhang Enxi saying through the phone: "There is information about that guy on the Internet. He is very handsome and only 23 years old."

Then, my grandmother's voice came again, saying, "It's right to be grateful, but Zhien, if you have any problems, you must tell your family, understand?"

The call lasted about eight minutes.

After ending the call, Lee Ji-eun put down the phone and was still thinking about the meaning of her grandmother's last few words.

"Jingle Bell"

The phone rang again.

This time it was Dad calling.

Li Zhien answered the phone immediately and asked, "Dad, haven't you rested yet?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Zhien's father got straight to the point: "Your grandma said you sent gifts to Gwangju?"

Li Zhien was not surprised at all and responded: "Yes"

Dad asked again, "Did a broadcasting station PD buy it for you?"

Li Zhien told her father the reason for her guess and said, "Yes, Oppa probably knew that I didn't have money, so he bought a lot and gave me half."

Dad hesitated for a moment, then asked with a worried tone, "Jie Eun, you're not dating that PD, are you?"

Li Zhien immediately explained: "Really not."

My mother's voice came from the other end of the phone: "That person is so kind to you. We should thank him very much. If there is a chance, invite him to have a meal at home."

IU never thought her family would say such things.

After being stunned for a full five seconds, he slowly said, "Would you like to invite Oppa to dinner at home?"

Mom confirmed, "Yes, if you have the chance, please invite him. I'll prepare a treat in advance. We must thank him in person."

Lee Ji-eun neither agreed nor disagreed.

In fact, she was thinking that Qi Yaojiu would not go to her house for dinner, and she didn't know how to invite him. She didn't have the superpower to predict the Mid-Autumn Festival three months in advance...
