Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 261: Oppa said it himself, it’s a promise, no regrets allowed.

It’s not quite what I imagined.

Qi Yaojiu thought that when he visited Li Zhien's house today, he would hear more about Li Zhien's growth experience from the elders.

It’s not that Ki Yo-jiu really wants to get to know Lee Ji-eun, but most of the time, that’s what they talk about.

But the reality is that except for grandma telling Ji Yaojiu some stories about Lee Ji-eun's childhood before dinner, Lee Ji-eun's father, mother, aunt, and uncle never mentioned her at the dinner table.

As if they had discussed it in advance, several times Li Zhien's father wanted to say something but swallowed it back.

At most, I would tell Qi Yaojiu that he would come to my house to drink the remaining bottle of Moutai during the Chinese New Year.

Qi Yaojiu fully felt the festive atmosphere today.

Lee Ji-eun's mother specially made a hangover soup for Ki Yo-jiu and others who had drunk a lot of alcohol.

After buying the toy gift he wanted, Li Zhongxun spent the whole afternoon in the living room chattering and fiddling with Ultraman.

IU and Jang Eun-hee went to the room and talked about something, while my aunt and IU's mother were watching TV with my grandmother in the living room. They were watching "Shining Legacy", the TV series that has been the champion in ratings so far this year.

It has been a long time since I last drank from noon to night. The last time I remembered drinking like this was at a very good friend’s wedding.

With so many thoughts in his mind, Qi Yaojiu remained awake for the last time.

The night is getting darker.

Li Zhien's father put his arm around Qi Yaojiu's shoulders and waved his hand, telling his aunt: "Drive safely."

After seeing off her aunt, uncle, and grandmother, Li Zhien's mother walked over to Qi Yaojiu and supported Li Zhien's father awkwardly, saying, "He drank too much today, please be understanding."

Qi Yaojiu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. Uncle is also happy today, and I am very happy too."

Li Zhien's father said with a smile: "You are very happy too, right? Let's go to another place to continue drinking."

Li Zhien and her mother said almost at the same time: "No."

Li Zhien reminded Qi Yaojiu: "Don't you have a meeting tomorrow?"

Originally, it was difficult for Qi Yaojiu to refuse Li Zhien's father's proposal, but now that Li Zhien handed him the way, Qi Yaojiu quickly agreed: "Uncle, I have a very important meeting tomorrow. Let's do it next time. Next time, I will treat you to a good drink alone."

Li Zhien's father did not force Qi Yaojiu, and took out his cell phone from his pocket shakily: "Oh, you said it, enter your phone number."

Qi Yaojiu took the phone with both hands and entered his own phone number, and the name saved was also Qi Yaojiu's.

Li Zhien's father called on the spot, and when he saw his number displayed on Qi Yaojiu's phone, he said with satisfaction: "You save my number too."

It must be preserved, and Ji Yaojiu is not just talking nonsense. After he is done with this busy period, there is absolutely no problem in inviting Li Zhien's father to have a drink alone, as long as Li Zhien's father doesn't feel embarrassed to drink with him alone.

amount.

Perhaps he had completely released himself under the influence of alcohol. At least at this moment, Li Zhien's father did not look embarrassed at all. He stared at Qi Yaojiu's phone and said, "Don't you want to save it?"

Qi Yaojiu said "Oh" and started to save the number.

The input is "Li Zhien's father"

Li Zhien's father was dissatisfied with the note and muttered, "Shouldn't we save our uncle?"

Qi Yaojiu deleted the note he had just edited and typed out his uncle's message on his phone keyboard. Before he could save it, he heard Li Zhien's father say, "I want to change mine to my son's."

Li Zhien's mother panicked and covered Li Zhien's father's mouth and pulled him upstairs quickly, apologizing to Ji Yaojiu: "He is really drunk, don't mind it." She also asked Li Zhien to take a taxi to send Ji Yaojiu away.

Li Zhien helped explain: "Dad was drunk and talking nonsense, Oppa please don't mind."

Qi Yaojiu shrugged and said slowly: "Is uncle being taught a lesson?"

IU followed Ki Yo-gu's gaze.

At the door of the building, my mother slapped my father on the back as if to scold him. I stole a glance at Qi Yaojiu and saw that he was smiling. "Don't you mind?"

Qi Yaojiu muttered, "The family atmosphere in your family is really enviable."

Lee Ji-eun thought of Ki Yo-gu being all alone in Seoul, and even if he returned to Manjae Island, it would be just him and his grandmother.

It turns out that Qi Yaojiu likes crowds and lively places, so he chose the profession of PD. There are dozens of people every time he records a program, and he is afraid of loneliness.

Qi Yaojiu didn't know that Li Zhien was automatically imagining these things.

He is not afraid of loneliness, but he has to be a little lonely at this stage. It will be different when he makes money. It will be different when all the company's businesses are on the right track and more independent producers are trained.

Qi Yaojiu said to Li Zhien, "Let's go."

The two walked along the sloping path in the cave towards the main intersection.

Li Zhien continued to explain: "No matter what, a father shouldn't say such things about his son. I'm sorry, Oppa."

Qi Yaojiu smiled at Li Zhien and said, "I have no problem. I am your brother anyway."

Li Zhien immediately corrected her: "It's different. I call you Oppa only because, only because... Anyway, you are not my Oppa. I only have a younger brother, Lee Jong-hoon."

Qi Yaojiu asked slowly, "Isn't it good to have an oppa like me?"

Li Zhien answered with certainty: "No, it's not good. You are not my dear oppa. We are not related by blood."

Qi Yaojiu just thought that Li Zhien's serious face was very cute. He raised his hand to rub Li Zhien's head and said, "Don't regret it. There are many people who are eager for me to be their oppa. Are you going to give up this privilege?"

“I don’t want privileges.”

"Would you like some ice cream?"

"I don't want it, huh? What? Ice cream?"

Qi Yaojiu pointed to the supermarket on the street and said, "Well, ice cream, if you don't want it, I'll buy my own."

Li Zhien followed closely behind with small steps, muttering, "I didn't say I didn't want to eat. I'll treat Oppa to some. Oppa spent too much money on his visit today. That brat Lee Jong-hoon needs to clean up the mess. He even insisted on keeping all that pocket money for himself to buy things."

"Ding Dong"

Entering the supermarket, the two went straight to the freezer.

After choosing the ice cream they wanted, Ki Yoo-gu asked Lee Ji-eun, "Are you trying to steal some pocket money from Jonghoon?"

Li Zhien took out a 10,000 yuan note from her pocket and said, "I have money, but he is so young and shouldn't have so much money on him. He doesn't understand how hard it is to make money."

After paying the bill, the two continued walking while eating their ice cream cones.

There are stars tonight.

Qi Yaojiu glanced at the night sky and said, "The purpose of making money is to spend it without any scruples, right? If you "serve" me like you did Zhongxun, I might consider giving you a red envelope as pocket money."

I thought Lee Ji-eun would be very dismissive.

As a result, Li Zhien took a step forward to block Qi Yaojiu and said seriously: "This is what Oppa said himself. When Oppa moved, I started working from the day he moved. Kuku worked hard to earn Oppa's pocket money."

"No, words are not enough, Oppa, it's a promise!"

Moonlight and street lights intertwine.

Qi Yaojiu looked at the little finger in the air and said gently: "Do we have to make an agreement every time? Okay, if we make an agreement, then you have to work hard."

After making pinky promises, Lee Ji-eun immediately asked, "When is Oppa moving? Is there a Chinese restaurant over there? Are we going to have jjajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork on moving day?"

It’s a bit hard to tell. Is he greedy, or does he want to earn some pocket money, or does he want to spend more time with himself, or is he wary of the new neighbor next door, Kang Min-kyung?
