Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 271 A bit of a secret love

I wonder if you have ever experienced what it feels like to be in a secret relationship.

It’s like idols would secretly pass notes to each other during breaks at the broadcasting station, and once they got each other’s contact information, they would make an appointment to meet somewhere in the basement garage of the broadcasting station to talk about their love.

Ki Yo-jiu has never experienced this, it seems that it was said by Bigbang's captain GD, whose mouth is only worth 50H yuan.

There are also ways to secretly date by driving to the Han River, watching movies in an open-air parking lot, etc. In short, there are many ways to secretly date.

Ki Yo-gu and Lee Ji-eun who appeared at Peace Market had a bit of that flavor.

Fully armed, the citizens passing by paid no attention to the two of them.

This outfit is similar to that of many young people in Seoul, and no one would expect to meet someone who appeared on TV at Peace Market.

“How about sliced noodles?”

I didn't have breakfast, so I treated it as brunch.

Qi Yaojiu had no choice. This place was different from other places. The restaurant owners arranged their working hours around the merchants in Heping Market.

There are many soup rice restaurants open 24 hours a day, as well as noodle stalls open from 5 am to 2 pm.

Qi Yaojiu is not a noodle lover, and he can't get used to eating cold noodles, mixed cold noodles, H-style noodles with soybean paste, etc.

The shaved noodles and udon noodles are okay. Although the taste is light, it is acceptable when paired with shredded seaweed and diced radish kimchi.

The masks were temporarily removed, and there were many citizens at the stalls.

At first, Lee Ji-eun was very cautious, but gradually she relaxed when she realized that the citizens didn't even look at them.

While eating noodles, he said to Qi Yaojiu: "Oppa, it seems that we don't have to be so heavily armed."

Just as Qi Yaojiu was about to say that it was unnecessary, the owner of the stall across from him suddenly said, "That handsome guy is the PD of that broadcast station, right?"

Lee Ji-eun immediately lowered her head, and Ki Yo-jiu also looked at the boss in surprise.

The boss is about fifty years old. People of this age group who set up noodle stalls here are busy with their lives. In addition, people of different ages don’t care much about things in the entertainment industry.

The stars and singers I like are all from the 1980s and 1990s and have long since faded out of the entertainment industry.

What's more, Ki Yo-gu isn't a singer or celebrity, but a producer. How can he still be recognized? Has his national recognition reached the level of Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong?
The boss saw Qi Yaojiu's surprised expression and knew he had recognized the right person. He explained, "My daughter is your fan and is an intern at your company. Her name is Zhao Zhihui."

No wonder.

I thought her national recognition had reached the level of a national MC, but it turned out that she was the mother of a colleague in the company.

The world is really small, H country is small, and Seoul is even smaller.

The boss was happily preparing side dishes, saying that she made them herself and must let Qi Yaojiu try them.

He also noticed Lee Ji-eun who came with Ki Yo-gu, but the boss subconsciously thought that Lee Ji-eun was also an employee of MAX Production Company like his daughter.

Very enthusiastic, so talkative.

Ki Yo-gu and Lee Ji-eun also sped up their eating speed, finishing the noodles that might have taken ten minutes in just five minutes.

The boss refused to take the money, so Lee Ji-eun looked at the price list on the menu and prepared the money.

Just after Ji Yaojiu told the boss that the noodles were delicious and he would definitely come again when he had the chance, Lee Ji-eun put down the bill and left with Ji Yaojiu.

The boss had to take care of the stall and serve other customers and couldn't chase after him. After collecting the money, he took advantage of his free time to call his daughter and tell her about meeting Qi Yaojiu in the market.

Lee Ji-eun treated everyone to noodles, and Ki Yo-jiu treated everyone to two cups of coffee.

There is an overpass between Heping Market and Dongdaemun Market.

Dongdaemun Market mainly deals in the import and export wholesale of fashion accessories, while Pyeonghwa Market mainly sells daily necessities for the general public.

After entering the market, Qi Yaojiu asked Li Zhien: "Are you moving too?"

Li Zhien shook her head and said, "No."

There were quite a lot of people, so Qi Yaojiu gently grabbed Li Zhien's arm and pulled her from the middle of the road to a safe position on his right side.

It was an unintentional action, but Lee Ji-eun's eyes changed when she looked at Ki Yo-gu.

Listening to Ji Yaojiu asking herself why he came to Heping Market, Li Zhien only saw Ji Yaojiu glowing all over.

This heartwarming gesture is really touching. This is a sense of security. With Qi Yaojiu, you never need to worry about any accidents. Even if you are just walking, he will subconsciously protect yourself.

"You came here to buy me some necessities?" Li Zhien came back to her senses and looked at Qi Yaojiu and said, "Why, is it not possible?"

The tone is tough.

Qi Yaojiu was stunned for a moment, then shrugged and said, "It's not that I can't, it's just that you haven't started making money yet."

Li Zhien immediately said: "That's why I brought Oppa to Peace Market. If I make money, I will definitely take Oppa to the mall."

"sorry"

The sudden apology startled Qi Yaojiu, who quickly said, "What do you mean by sorry? Aren't the things sold in shopping malls and markets the same? Toothbrushes can only be used to brush teeth, towels can only be used to wash your face, shampoo can only be used to wash your hair, and razors can only be used to shave."

Lee Ji-eun knew that Ji Yaojiu was comforting herself, but she just wanted to buy the best for Ji Yaojiu, but her current financial conditions did not allow it.

I thought about it before coming here, what if Qi Yaojiu dislikes it?

Now I have to face the reality. Although Qi Yaojiu said so, but...

Feeling her shoulder sink, IU slowly turned her head and saw Ki Yoo-gu's hand on her right shoulder. Her heart skipped a beat. When she wanted to look at Ki Yoo-gu, she heard Ki Yoo-gu's voice: "It's okay, just be careful."

When Li Zhien turned around to look over, Qi Yaojiu had already loosened his shoulders and said to Li Zhien: "Let's go look at the toiletries first. If you buy more at one time, the boss will definitely give you a discount."

Following behind Ji Yaojiu, Lee Ji-eun was searching for something. She saw a figure pushing a cart not far away. It must be the person pushing the cart who almost collided with them just now, so Ji Yaojiu suddenly put his arm around her shoulders. This was also a subconscious way to protect himself.

"That person seems to be IU."

"I feel so too."

Qi Yaojiu's voice came into his ears again: "Mask."

Only then did IU realize that she had taken off her mask to drink coffee and did not put it back on.

There were a few girls around him who were about twenty years old. They were discussing in low voices, and their eyes were focused on him and Qi Yaojiu.

There are still young people here, and they know themselves.

Quickly putting on a mask, Li Zhien took Qi Yaojiu's arm and said, "Oppa, let's go to the front and take a look."

Qi Yaojiu glanced at the arm being held, and the discussion also reached his ears. Qi Yaojiu heard: "It can't be IU. Why would she come to Heping Market? And she wouldn't go shopping with a man so openly."

"That's right. An artist's biggest concern is their relationships. How could anyone at IU's company allow her to have a secret relationship?"

"But speaking of which, this year's K Broadcasting Station's year-end music performance is definitely worth looking forward to."

"what's the situation?"

"I also heard from a friend that her sister's senior is an employee of K Broadcasting Station. It is said that K Broadcasting Station has prepared a very special stage this year, and PD Ki Yo-gu will be in charge of this year's music stage."

"PD Ki Yo-gu? Didn't he leave K Broadcasting Station?"

"Is it important? His variety shows and dramas are also broadcast on K Broadcasting Station."

"Hmm, wait, that man just now, do you think it could really be IU and PD Kiyo-gu?"

"Hey, why do you think so?"

"Well, probably not. We just worked together on a show. It's not like we'd do that privately..."

Ki Yo-gu and Lee Ji-eun, who were walking forward, heard this conversation.

IU felt a little scared about the citizens' ability to speculate.

Qi Yaojiu said with a smile: "Fortunately, we haven't had any scandals, otherwise we would have been recognized just now and..."

Before Qi Yaojiu could finish, Li Zhien urged: "Oppa, let's go quickly."

"What? Are you scared?"

"You're going to be recognized."

"No, we're fully armed, but this feels weird. Jieun, it doesn't seem like a big deal to be recognized. I'm your oppa."

"You are not my oppa. I only have one brother, Lee Jong-hoon."

"Forehead……"
