The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 190 The Support Behind

In the conference room, Kim Dong-gun, who had just been confident of having the upper hand, was suddenly stunned by Lin Bingxun's words.

"Secretary Lin, what did you say?" He looked at Lin Bingxun in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment. "Disqualification?"

Lin Bingxun's expression was very serious, not at all like he was joking. "Mr. Jin, can't you hear me?"

"Cancel?" Kim Dong-gun finally came back to his senses from his shock. He shook his shoulders violently, shook off Bae Yong-jun's hand, and glanced back and forth between Bae Yong-jun and Lin Bingxun. "Hey, Secretary Lin, what is your relationship with Bae Yong-jun? Can you just cancel the nomination for the grand prize?!"

His voice rose.

Lin Bingxun's face darkened. "After review, I found that in the application materials you submitted, there were some news stories for which you were not the primary reporter, but only participated in the reporting."

"This kind of exaggerated material is untrue, so according to the selection rules of this award, you are disqualified as a candidate for the award."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Secretary Lin," Jin Dongjian said angrily, raising his hand and pointing at Lin Bingxun, "How dare you do this?"

"Why not? Reporter Jin, stop making a scene here. Let's save some dignity." Lin Bingxun said in a deep voice, "If you have nothing else to do, please leave first. The association will then send a letter to KBS to explain the situation."

The people around him were staring at Kim Dong-gun with surprised and bewildered eyes. He felt as if his face was burning and anger suddenly rose in his heart.

"Leave?" His eyes widened, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched. "Do you really think I'd want to participate in this crappy award of yours?"

He snorted coldly, his tone threatening, "If you have an affair with someone like Pei Yongjun, you'll be on tomorrow's Evening News!"

"Go ahead!" Lin Bingxun showed no sign of weakness. "Then I'll tell everyone about your director calling me! Let's see what everyone says!"

"You!" Jin Dongjian's expression suddenly changed, "You..."

He looked around, and saw that both Lim Byung-hun and Lim Byung-hun were glaring at him, and the remaining women naturally didn't say anything, so he looked timid.

"Reporter Jin, do you need me to be on the show too?" Pei Yongjun added.

Looking at Bae Yong-jun who looked calm, Kim Dong-gun, who had lost his candidacy, looked even uglier and felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

He looked at Lin Bingxun and said harshly, "Secretary Lin, if you dare to choose someone like Pei Yongjun, you will see this award become a joke!"

"If you don't leave now, I'll have to call the security." Lin Bingxun pursed his lips. Two security guards were already standing at the door of the lounge, one on the left and one on the right, staring at Kim Dong-gun with a fierce look.

"...Okay, I'm leaving." Kim Dong-gun gritted his teeth and left in a hurry in embarrassment.

"Ha, this kind of person is really..." Lin Bingxun looked at his departing back and shook his head.

"Bingxun, today, today is really, oh, so nice." Lin Bingxian smiled and whispered to Lin Bingxun.

Kim Dong-gun has KBS behind him and has several news reports in his hands. If the selection really starts, it will be a big challenge for Bae Young-joon, not to mention that his hostility towards Bae Young-joon is obvious.

There were some exaggerations in the registration materials. To be honest, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Lin Bingxian did not expect that Lin Bingxun would directly kick Kim Dong-gun out. It was really beyond his expectations.

"Haha, no, I'm just following the rules." Lin Bingxun also smiled. He nodded at Lin Bingxian, but turned to look at Pei Yongjun and extended his right hand. "Editor-in-Chief Pei, I've heard a lot about you. I hope I didn't disturb you just now?"

"Secretary Lin, thank you for your impartiality." Pei Yongjun shook hands with him.

"Let's go to the office and talk." Lin Bingxun didn't let go of Pei Yongjun's hand and affectionately pulled him towards his office. "Let's have lunch together at noon."

Lin Bingxian was stunned.

This this……

When did Lin Bingxun become so familiar with Pei Yongjun? He thought that Lin Bingxun helped him out of respect for him, but the scene before him seemed to tell him that this was not the case. Pei Yongjun was the person Lin Bingxun really valued.

He was stunned for a moment before quickly catching up.

In the lounge, Park Ji-hyo and the other girl had not yet recovered from their surprise.

Lin Nayeon turned her head to look at Li Zhien, but found that she was still staring at the door, looking quite worried. With some childish facial features, she looked so weak that made people want to protect her.

"Senior, are you okay?" Lin Nayeon couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, it's okay." Lee Ji-eun came back to her senses and shook her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Lin Nayeon. She turned away in panic, frowned again, and looked like she was worried about something.

Lin Nayeon frowned.

The winter sun, emitting a soft light, hangs in the middle of the dome.

At the hotel entrance, Pei Yongjun said goodbye to everyone one by one.

"Well, Yongjun, let's go first and find a place to rest." Lin Bingxian, who was a little drunk, lowered the car window.

"Yongjun, come and have dinner together next time. I'll take you to eat seafood! Hahaha." Lin Bingxun sat next to Lin Bingxian and laughed at Pei Yongjun, "Of course."

"Sure." Pei Yongjun nodded.

"Then we'll leave first," Lin Bingxian waved to Pei Yongjun, "Jicheng will come to pick you up later, right?"

"Yes, he will be here soon."

"Okay, okay, tell me anytime you need anything!"

The black Toyota commercial vehicle drove away, leaving Pei Yongjun standing there.

After discussing things in the morning, they went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Both the host and the guests had a great time. Lin Bingxian and the other man drank a lot, but Pei Yongjun did not drink.

There was a sound of light footsteps behind me, and a familiar sweet voice came into my ears, "They're gone?"

"Okay, let's go." Bae Yong-jun turned around and nodded at Lee Ji-eun in front of him.

Lee Ji-eun also came over to eat together.

"Is there something wrong? I saw you didn't say much at noon." Bae Yong-jun looked at Lee Ji-eun's slightly frowned brows.

While eating, Lee Ji-eun seemed to be in a bad mood and tried to explain that she was feeling a little unwell, but Bae Yong-jun could see that she was worried.

"What happened last night? Are you finally going to tell me the truth?" he asked.

"...No." Li Zhien shook her head. "Yes, why did Lin Bingxun help you so much? Can you tell me?"

"I thought you would know." Pei Yongjun said.

"Me?" Li Zhien was stunned.

“Well,” Bae Young-jun explained, “Woo Kyung-ho didn’t choose this event as a sponsor randomly.”

"He wants me to win this award."
