The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 118 Wear something sexy

Behind him, Lin Bingxian finally came to his senses and hurried to the door.

"Yongjun, this time it's all thanks to you," he said to Pei Yongjun in a gratified tone, "Director Yu and you..."

"Yes..." Pei Yongjun considered it for a moment, "A friend of a friend."

"Ah!" Lin Bingxian suddenly realized, "Okay, okay, then the advertising expenses this time will be under your full control. You must make Director Yu satisfied."

"I'll go see Director Yu off first. As for the bonus, don't worry. We'll talk about it when I get back."

After saying that, he quickly walked out the door and chased after Yu Qinghao.

The remaining people in the conference room looked at Pei Yongjun, but didn't know what to say.

Just a few days ago, I saw him fighting alone with the prosecutor, and now I see him chatting and laughing with the executives of Kakao M.

They just felt that there was a thick barrier between them and Pei Yongjun. They wanted to please him, but they were respectful and afraid of him, so they had no choice but to gather around him and ask about his well-being.

"Editor Pei, thanks to you."

"Editor Pei, you're very famous now. You're really amazing."

"Editor Pei, please let me know if you need any help."

"Brother Jiyuan." Pei Yongjun looked at Zhang Jiyuan who was standing there in a daze.

"Mo?" Zhang Jiyuan hurriedly squeezed in front of him, with a hint of respect in his attitude.

The prosecutor is more like a figure in the clouds, he doesn't understand, but Kakao M is a majestic giant in the entertainment industry. He sees and respects Woo Kyung-ho's closeness to Bae Young-joon.

"Editor-in-Chief Pei, please go ahead."

"Let's work on this promotion together. I don't know much about it, so could you please come up with a plan first?"

"Okay! Okay! That's great!" Zhang Jiyuan was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly. It turned out that he was right to follow Pei Yongjun closely.

"I have some things to do later, so I'll go back first." Pei Yongjun nodded to everyone.

"Okay, go back and get busy." Everyone said that they had absolutely no objection and watched him disappear out the door.

"Wow, you finally got it!" Someone nudged Zhang Jiyuan, his tone full of envy.

"Who do you think Editor-in-Chief Pei is?" Someone asked with emotion as he watched Pei Yongjun leave.

"Who knows? He's not an ordinary person."

"The Dong-A News Award? It really takes someone like Editor-in-Chief Pei to be worthy of it, right?"

Everyone was talking about it.

Pei Yongjun returned to Group 2, picked out some important information and told a few people about it, then walked into the office and began to think.

He turned on his phone, clicked on the address book, flipped through it twice, and stopped at a contact to whom he had only sent one text message.

Lee Ji-eun.

This was given to him by Choi Sulli. The two of them sent a message in which Lee Ji-eun expressed her gratitude for his help to Choi Sulli and Goo Hara, and also apologized.

Pei Yongjun responded politely, and the two never spoke again.

Unexpectedly, Lee Ji-eun quietly prepared such a generous gift for him.

"Don't tell myself..." Pei Yongjun muttered to himself, thought for a while, and called Zheng Taihao.

"Senior, do you have a list of participants for the Kakao party this weekend? I want to prepare."

"List? I'll ask someone for it and send it to you later."

After a short wait, Bae Young-jun received the photos sent by Jung Tae-ho. He quickly browsed through them from top to bottom until he saw the list of participating artist guests, most of whom were artists under Kakao.

……

【Park Bo Young】

【Lee Ji-eun】

【Special guest performers: Apink, Cosmic Girls, Lovelyz】

……

Choi Sulli, Woo Kyung-ho, and a Kakao party where they were destined to meet.

Don't want me to know this?
Or are you afraid that you don’t know?

Pei Yongjun smiled gently, and the pure and beautiful face of Li Zhien appeared in his mind.

Just when he was about to ask Choi Sulli again, Yoo Sung-soo ran in excitedly, "Team Leader, a victim contacted us! He wants to meet!"

"When?"

"Two o'clock in the afternoon, in Cheongdam-dong."

"Walk."

----

The sun sets and the moon rises. It is already December. The days in winter are getting shorter and shorter. It is already dark after six in the afternoon.

The others had already left work and the office was quiet. After helping Bae Yong-jun clean up the office, Kwon Eun-bi returned to her seat and continued to read the news excerpts that Bae Yong-jun had given her carefully.

As she read, she revised the news excerpt she had made yesterday, writing and drawing carefully, and muttering to herself.

"The company is definitely going to launch a new group, so why is this negative news?"

She frowned and subconsciously poked her cheek with the pen cap, thinking hard.

Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, the door of the office area was pushed open.

Bae Yong-jun walked in, followed by Ryu Sung-soo, who had a frown on his face.

"Team leader nim, Sung Soo senior." She quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Pei Yongjun looked at Quan Enbi, "No tutoring tonight?"

"No." Quan Enfei shook her head. "I'll take a day off tonight."

She walked up quickly and took Pei Yongjun's coat. "Team Leader, how is it? What did Julia say?"

Julia was the woman who called claiming to be the victim; it was probably an alias. "What? We didn't even see anyone!" Liu Chengzhu exhaled. "They said it was two o'clock, then changed it to three, then four or five, and finally the phone was turned off, and that's when we came back."

"How could this happen?" Quan Enfei frowned, "Is this another lie?"

The reward for clues contained her and Liu Chengzhu's contact information. In the past two days, she and Liu Chengzhu had received many so-called clues, but most of them were intended to defraud money.

"This Julia is definitely not like that. She knows a lot of details. She said that after she was assaulted, she even had blood tests and examinations done." Liu Chengzhu shook his head. "I think it's true."

"But it just won't come out. It's so frustrating!" Liu Chengzhu became increasingly angry as he spoke, and ran to his desk to gulp down some water.

Pei Yongjun looked at him, then looked at Quan Enfei in front of him, "Probably because of fear."

"Afraid?" Queen Kwon opened her eyes wide.

"She's scared, just like Jung Yoomi was back then." Bae Yongjun's voice was steady. "Julia had a medical checkup and may have even called the police, but the results must have left her disappointed, maybe even scared."

"That's why she's so hesitant now and doesn't dare to tell the truth."

"Is that so?" Kwon Eun-bi recalled Jung Yoo-mi's pitiful look at that time, and sympathy welled up in her heart, "Julia must be pitiful too."

"It's pitiful, but you have to tell us the truth so we can help her." said Liu Chengzhu next to him.

"Maybe she's a little scared too..." Quan Enfei muttered softly, glancing at Pei Yongjun, "If she knew what kind of person you are, she might not be afraid anymore."

Pei Yongjun glanced at her.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly turned around, picked up Pei Yongjun's coat, and hung it on the coat rack.

"Team leader," Liu Chengzhu packed up his things and walked out, "Let's go. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Only Bae Young-jun and Kwon Eun-bi were left in the office.

"Team leader, would you like some coffee?" After hanging up the clothes, Kwon Eun-bi came to the door of Bae Yong-jun's office.

"No more drinking. I drank a lot this afternoon and I'm feeling energetic now." Pei Yongjun waved his hand and looked at her who showed no intention of leaving. "Are you still not leaving?"

"It's nice here. I want to leave later. Is that okay?" Queen Kwon shook her head.

"Well, whatever." Pei Yongjun nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that Pei Yongjun had no intention of forcing her to leave, Quan Enfei sat back in her seat, with Pei Yongjun a few meters behind her.

She continued to revise her notes.

Although the office conditions of the newspaper were average, compared to her cramped rental house, it was like heaven. She also had free coffee to drink and could even wash up there, and her roommates wouldn't scold her for being too loud.

What's more, team leader Nim hasn't gone back yet.

She didn't want to go back.

The pen tip rustled as Queen Kwon hummed softly, shaking her head slightly, enjoying this little moment of happiness.

Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

"Can you sing?"

Quan Enfei, who was concentrating on her work, was startled and said, "Group..."

She subconsciously stood up to say hello, but when she looked at Pei Yongjun in front of her, she couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Pei Yongjun changed out of his suit and put on a black leather jacket. The brass decorative rivets on the black jacket sparkled.

His hairstyle had also changed. It seemed that he had used some hair wax, and his hair was picked up and slightly stood up. He looked very different from his usual appearance, full of wild aggression.

"Group, group..." Quan Enfei stuttered and couldn't speak, staring at Pei Yongjun's expression, unable to move her eyes away.

"Not bad?" Pei Yongjun smiled.

"Hmm? Yes! Yes! Very handsome!" She nodded desperately.

"Can you sing?" Pei Yongjun repeated.

"Singing? I guess... I can sing a little bit, right?"

"What do you mean by knowing a little? Do you know it or not?"

"Yes." Queen Kwon nodded obediently.

"Dancing?"

"Sure."

"You know a lot." Pei Yongjun looked up and down at Quan Enfei, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Just, just a little bit." Queen Kwon sensed the surprise in his tone and felt a little happy in her heart, as if she had received some great recognition.

"No tutoring tonight?"

"Ah."

"So it's okay?"

"No." She shook her head, her thick bangs swaying like a well-behaved elementary school student.

"Okay, pack up, we're going to a nightclub tonight." Pei Yongjun took out a pair of sunglasses from his arms and put them on his hair.

"Ah?" Concubine Quan was stunned.

"Is it okay?" Pei Yongjun asked.

“…Okay.” Kwon Eunbi nodded, her hands nervously grasping the hem of her suit.

"Then you..." Pei Yongjun paused, looking at her suit that never changed, "Do you have anything sexy?"

"Suits are a bit eye-catching in a nightclub."

Quan Enfei's face flushed red, and after a while she shook her head, "No."

"Then even if..."

Pei Yongjun's words were interrupted by her small voice.

"But I can go buy it now..." Quan Enfei lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and her voice was thin and soft, "Can I?"

"...Okay," Pei Yongjun's eyes unconsciously slid across her swollen chest, his throat a little dry, "Can I take you to buy it?"

"...Okay." It seemed like Queen Kwon would agree to anything.
