The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 117 Sincere Apology
Bae Yongjun raised his eyebrows at Woo Kyung-ho's words.

"What does it mean when you raise your eyebrows?" Yu Qinghao blinked. "Then I'll take it as, yes?"

"Director Yu, why do you think so?" Pei Yongjun shook his head. "There's no such thing as you said."

"No? Really?" Yu Qinghao continued to ask, "Jie Eun came to me personally, hoping that the company would entrust you with part of the promotional expenses. She said she wanted to apologize to you."

"But if you ask me, if a woman is willing to spend so much money on a man..."

"It's the company's money that's being spent." Pei Yongjun interrupted him.

"Yeah, that's Ji Eun's money too," Yu Qinghao said in dissatisfaction. "It's good to save it and give it to me as a bonus."

"I can give you a kickback." Pei Yongjun said.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Yu Qinghao seemed to understand something and laughed.

"Ah, there's no dating ban in our company," he waved his hands repeatedly, "On the contrary, if you really have a relationship, tell me as soon as possible and I will help you cover it up."

"So, there really isn't one? Editor-in-Chief Pei, just tell me."

Yu Qinghao's tone was extremely sincere.

"Really not." Pei Yongjun shook his head, his tone more sincere than his, his eyes full of honesty.

"Really?"

"real."

Yu Qinghao moved closer to his face and looked at him carefully, trying to find any trace of lying on his face.

Pei Yongjun let him watch calmly.

After a while, Qinghao suddenly asked again, "Really?"

"Really not. In fact, Iu Xi and I have only met once so far." Pei Yongjun explained.

"Okay, fine." He finally sighed angrily, turned around and looked at the building opposite, "I thought something really happened."

"So, she really just wanted to apologize to you?"

"I do not know either."

"You don't know either? Didn't you just..." Yu Qinghao turned his head, thinking of Bae Yongjun's firm tone just now, and looked at Bae Yongjun with some doubts.

"I was just guessing, trying you out." Pei Yongjun chuckled, "I'm sorry."

Kakao's advertising wave came so suddenly and strangely that Bae Young-jun found it unusual from the beginning.

Especially since Kakao was so proactive, Zhao Dongxu could summon people with just one word. It was really a bit abnormal. It didn't seem like a normal business behavior, but more like...

A gift.

As for who the donor is, just look at the most important artists under Kakao M.

It is IU who single-handedly contributes one-eighth of Kakao M's agency income. She is also the only top artist under Kakao M who has repeatedly failed over the years. She even holds a 12.5% stake in her own agency, Loen. Such an artist who is definitely not an ordinary artist is enough to work for a role like Woo Kyung-ho.

He came out of the meeting room and asked Choi Sulli, and it was just as he expected.

[Jieun-unnie? I met her a few days ago at Hara-unnie's house. We lived together.]

【What did you say? 】

「Nothing……」

[Oh, by the way, she asked about Zhu Xianying, so I just briefly explained it. Is everything okay?]

At this point, Choi Sulli hesitated for a moment, but still pleaded for Lee Ji-eun and Bae Young-joon. She seemed to be a little worried that there would be some grudge between her good friend and him because of this, and wanted to try her best to restore Lee Ji-eun's image in his heart.

[Editor-in-chief, actually, Ji-eun didn't do it on purpose. She was just trying to help Hara.]

She is actually a very nice person, and she treats me very well.

[Let her treat us to a meal next time, okay?]

Just consider it as an apology, okay~

Bae Yongjun agreed. However, Lee Ji-eun's apology seemed to be different from Choi Sulli's. He already knew what this sudden advertising list was.

A sincere apology gift.

However, to be cautious, Bae Yong-jun still gave it a try, and Woo Kyung-ho's reaction of raising the price readily put an end to his speculation.

"Guessing? Then you're still raising the price! Aren't you afraid the ad will be ruined?" Yu Qinghao seemed to have finally become interested in Bae Yongjun. "Your newspaper must be quite short of money, right?"

"No, but even if it's bait, at least we need to know who's fishing, so I'll give you a try."

"Hanjiang Sports, Bae Yongjun." Bae Yongjun extended his hand, "Please forgive me."

"Well, smart guy." Yu Qinghao also laughed and stretched out his hand to shake his hand. "Kakao M, Marketing Director, Yu Qinghao."

The two smiled at each other, and officially got to know each other.

"Now that you understand what's going on, I don't need to say more."

"The message has been conveyed. I know a little bit about the trouble Zhu Xianying caused you, so even if it's an apology, whether you accept it or not is up to you."

Yu Qinghao released his hand, "However, I suggest you accept it."

"Why?" Pei Yongjun asked.

"If a woman spends 500 million to please you, you'd better not refuse," he raised an eyebrow, "otherwise, when she gets angry and uses 5 billion to deal with you, you will regret it."

"I'll beg for mercy then." Pei Yongjun smiled, "I can't afford to offend you."

Woo Kyung-ho burst into laughter.

"Well, the contract is ready, let's go down." He glanced at his phone.

The two walked back.

"This place is a bit messy, do you want to come to our Kakao?"

"It's a bit messy, but I can handle it."

"Then come on."

"Thank you."

"By the way, I didn't tell you anything today. She told me not to. I just wanted to apologize to you."

"Director Yu, I won't tell Ji Eun-xi."

"Ah, you know, female artists are the hardest to please, especially those who have a bit of brains..."

"Then come on."

"Ah! You!"

----

"Well, now that the contract is signed, I'll be leaving." Yu Qinghao wrote his name on the supplementary agreement in a flamboyant manner, and then watched Lin Bingxian sign and seal it.

"Director Mo Yu, let's have lunch together?" Lin Bingxian persuaded him.

"No thanks." Yu Qinghao waved his hand and walked straight out, but stopped in front of Pei Yongjun, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." He extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Pei Yongjun took the business card and shook hands with him.

"It's so refreshing to talk to smart people. Unlike your editor-in-chief, ha," Yu Qinghao lowered his voice and snapped his fingers as if flicking away an ant. "He's a bit too stupid. I'll help you deal with him."

"You're welcome."

He winked, patted Pei Yongjun on the shoulder, turned around and left with a smile.

"No need to send."

Pei Yongjun stood at the door of the conference room and watched his figure go away.
