The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 156: Just a man, easily controlled

A click sound reached his ears, and Pei Yongjun looked towards the door.

The door of the conference room was pushed open and Kim Hye-soo was looking inside.

"Editor-in-chief? Shirley..."

Bae Yong-jun was the only one standing in the room, but there was no sign of Choi Sulli.

"She said she couldn't find something," Pei Yongjun coughed twice and pointed to the table next to him, "Maybe she dropped it."

"Did it fall?" Kim Hye-soo then discovered that there was a figure behind the table. She was sitting sideways on a chair, leaning over with her head down, looking for something. Her pigtails were swinging under her body. It was Choi Sulli.

"Sulli, what is that?" Kim Hye-soo walked to the table, and Choi Sulli stood up.

"Nothing, unnie." Perhaps because of bending down, Choi Sulli's snowy skin was a little flushed, and there were a few fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Her bangs were messy, and she looked delicate and pretty, quite charming. "I remember bringing an eyebrow pencil, but I can't find it."

"Maybe I forgot to bring it, so I remembered it wrong."

"Oh, so that's it." Kim Hye-soo looked at her, then looked at Bae Yong-jun beside her and nodded.

Seeing Jin Huixiu's puzzled look, she quickly straightened her bangs and smiled coquettishly, "Ouni, I'm sorry for what happened just now."

"Sorry for what?"

"I know unnie is good to me, but I, hehe." She stood up, walked to Kim Hye Soo, and took her arm, "Unnie, please trust me for once."

"Agents serve the artists. Don't worry, there's no need to apologize." Jin Huixiu shook her head. "As long as you have made up your mind, it's fine."

"Hye-soo, thank you for considering Sulli." Bae Yong-jun also nodded at her.

"No, you're too polite." Kim Hye-soo seemed to know the extraordinary power behind Bae Yong-jun, so she was very polite to him and turned a blind eye to the obviously unusual intimacy between the two people in front of her.

Kim Hye-soo firmly believes that managers serve artists.

"However, if something unexpected happens during the variety show, I may have to trouble you again. Thank you."

"I can't help but feel a little worried about showing everyone Sulli's true side."

"Reality isn't everything, is it?" Pei Yongjun looked at her and smiled. "Don't worry."

Kim Hye-soo glanced at him, then looked at Choi Sulli who was staring at him beside her, and nodded slowly.

Reality is not everything?

She pondered the deeper meaning of Pei Yongjun's words. Could it be that he had already made arrangements?

"Editor-in-chief nim, goodbye!" Choi Sulli waved to Bae Yongjun in the car, watched the car go away with a smile, then opened the door and got into her own car.

Kim Hye-soo had already started the car and was waiting for her.

The car immediately drove forward. The two of them were going back to SM. Since they had decided to take on the variety show, they had to coordinate their schedule with the company and report it.

"Ouni~ my dear unni, are you still angry?" Choi Sulli looked at her.

"I'm not angry anymore. Why should I be angry?" Jin Huixiu laughed. "Just answer it."

"Ouni, actually I really want to take part in this variety show." Choi Sulli expressed her thoughts.

"Why?" Jin Huixiu looked a little surprised.

She thought Choi Sulli took the job because of Bae Young-joon.

"Because, because," Choi Sulli paused, "I love the stage. I can sing and dance. If I leave the stage, I don't know what I can do in the future."

Her voice gradually lowered, and her big eyes revealed a hint of confusion and helplessness.

“So, it would be best if I could continue to perform on stage.”

"But, if I stand on the stage again now, everyone will still hate me, right?"

"I want everyone to like me before I stand on the stage again. That way, there won't be so many people coming to scold me?" She turned to look at Kim Hye-soo.

"Unnie, will it?"

"Will everyone like me?"

"Everyone is obviously very nice, and this is obviously the case, so why is it happening like this?"

"Is it because I didn't do well enough, or because I can't speak well, that's why people don't like me."

"If I let everyone look at me more, will everyone like me?"

Her big eyes sparkled, with a hint of anticipation in them.

Jin Huixiu took a breath and blinked.

"Who said that there are many people who like you?"

"Really?" Choi Sulli asked.

"Yes, really." Kim Hye-soo nodded.

"Who is there?"

"Isn't that Editor-in-Chief Pei?"

"Ouni!" Choi Sulli's face suddenly turned red. "What did Ouni say?"

"Hey, you're still blaming me. What are you two doing in the conference room?" Kim Hye-soo rolled her eyes at her, her tone somewhat annoyed.

"We, we didn't do anything, we were just looking for something." Choi Sulli felt her cheeks were about to burn.

"What are you looking for? You two should be careful, okay?" Kim Hye-soo reminded Choi Sulli.

"Oh, I see." Choi Sulli nodded honestly.

"Men, that's how it is. You have to grasp it well."

"How do you grasp it?" Kim Hye-soo, who is married and has children, speaks very differently from Goo Hara. Choi Sulli couldn't help but ask again.

"Yeah, why are you asking me?"

"Unnie, please tell me, please."

Choi Sulli suppressed the sadness she had just felt deep in her heart and chased after Kim Hye-soo to ask her how to hold on to a man.

Next time, she must firmly grasp the editor-in-chief nim!

"Yongjun, how are you doing recently? It's almost the end of the year, take a break. You seem a little tired these days." In the president's office, Lin Bingxian refilled Pei Yongjun's teacup with a smile on his face.

From Jung Joon-young to Lee Seung-ri, he usually got one such big news a year, so he thought this year was pretty good. However, in just three months, Bae Young-joon got him such a series of news, which really surprised him and made him a little overwhelmed.

In three months, the number of subscribers to the electronic version has increased threefold, and the paper version is sold out every time. Yesterday's report on the Lee Seung-ri incident was printed in 3 copies, but it still cannot meet the demand. This is an unimaginable event for Hanjiang Sports, which usually only sells 3 to 20 copies.

Not only that, Bae Young-joon also somehow managed to get advertising orders worth hundreds of millions of dollars from Woolim, which was enough to cover an ordinary quarter.

There is also the promotion fee from Kakao Entertainment last time, not to mention the Kakao annual super advertising order that is about to be settled.

Lin Bingxian felt that the past few months were like a dream, it was really too unreal.

And all these changes came from Pei Yongjun in front of him.
