The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 26 She is crying
Hangang Sports News, Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

"Team leader, the ordered meal has arrived."

Pei Yongjun looked up and saw outside the office door, Jin Zhicheng carrying two large bags and placing them on the empty table next to the printer.

Jin Zhicheng happily picked up two boxes of lunch and trotted over. "Beef rice or pork chop rice, which one would you like, Team Leader?"

"Beef rice, let everyone eat too." Pei Yongjun looked at his watch and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

It was already past the end of the working day, but the office area of Social News Group 2 was still full of people.

In addition to the four people in Group 2, Liu Chengzhu also asked for five people from other groups to help temporarily, and they worked together to prepare for the press conference tomorrow morning.

However, these people who are helping do not know the content of tomorrow's press conference.

"Yes, Team Leader." Jin Zhicheng put down his lunch box, walked out the door and clapped his hands, "Everyone, it's time to eat! Thank you for your hard work!"

Everyone took their lunch boxes one after another and went to find a place to eat in groups of three or four.

"Team Leader," Liu Chengzhu came over with a lunch box, "Today's interviews are basically finished."

"Eunkwang is still at the venue for tomorrow's meeting, setting up."

Pei Yongjun nodded. "What's your reaction to the news of Haraxi's breakup?"

"It's very hot, and people are discussing it everywhere online. There are all kinds of things being said, but they're all just wild speculation."

As a member of a well-known girl group, Goo Hara's sudden breakup news caught fans off guard and they speculated about the reason.

Some tabloids also hurriedly dug up old news about Goo Hara and took the opportunity to hype it up, causing even more uproar and prompting Goo Hara's fans to denounce and clarify the matter.

Pei Yongjun listened to his report, pondered for a moment, and said, "After dinner, ask Zhicheng to take the others to notify other media."

"Other media? Isn't it our exclusive tomorrow?" Liu Chengzhu was stunned.

"Since they care so much, let them come to tomorrow's press conference to help us generate buzz."

"If you ask about the content of the announcement, just say that Goo Hara's breakup is going on. The person involved will make an explanation at the press conference."

"Then edit it and post a brief announcement about tomorrow's press conference on the official website. Just one sentence will do."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Chengzhu wrote down everything.

"Bring the manuscript here, let me take a look."

"Yes, team leader!" Liu Chengzhu finished his meal in a few bites, walked out the door and got his laptop.

He was careful not to edit the manuscript on his office computer, but instead put it in a notebook that he could take with him.

Pei Yongjun revised the manuscript and walked out of the office with his computer. Liu Chengzhu was talking on the phone outside.

"...Joint interview? Are you kidding me? If you keep talking nonsense like that, you won't get a seat tomorrow."

He hung up the phone and then saw Pei Yongjun beside him. He quickly stood up and said, "Team leader, it's someone from the Daily Express."

"That's outrageous. He even said he wanted to do a joint interview with us. That's hilarious." He curled his lips.

"The last time we went to the news, it looked down on us for being an entertainment tabloid. Not only did it not even give us a seat, let alone an interview."

Things have changed. Liu Chengzhu now looks excited. "Team leader, are you done with the changes?"

Pei Yongjun handed him the computer and said, "I changed some things. Take a look. I'll go get some coffee."

"Ok."

Pei Yongjun stretched his body while walking towards the tea room.

Just as he reached the door of the tea room, he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from inside.

Pei Yongjun leaned against the wall and turned on the light, but suddenly heard a scream and a short figure suddenly stood up in the corner. "Ah!"

It's thick bangs.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

She kept bowing, and after a while she looked up and saw that it was Pei Yongjun. She was shocked again, "Editor-in-Chief, I scared you, sorry!"

Seeing that she was about to bow and apologize again, Pei Yongjun raised his hand to signal her to stop, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go home so late?"

"I, no, nothing." Thick bangs lowered his head and walked out quickly, "I'll leave now, sorry."

Pei Yongjun took a slight step and moved his body.

She bumped into his shoulder. "Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to!"

"It's okay, let's go." Pei Yongjun waved his hand.

"Okay." The man with thick bangs ran away in a panic, his loose suit flickering, and his figure disappeared in the stairwell.

Pei Yongjun looked at her figure, thinking about something, then turned and walked to the corner where she had just squatted. Under the light, the floor looked like it was spilled with water, with spots of water on it.

Is she crying? What is she crying about?
Pei Yongjun's mind flashed back to the red and swollen eyes with thick bangs that he caught a glimpse of when the two of them collided just now.

Nonhyeon-dong Police Station, Gangnam District, Seoul.

"Choi Jong-Bum?" The young policeman looked at the two people in front of him.

"Yes, I'm his attorney, Li Zhongjiu. I've lost contact with him since he came here this afternoon. I don't know how he's doing now." said the fat man on the left, handing over his business card.

The young policeman swallowed, looking a little nervous.

"Officer, if you prevent lawyers from visiting without reason, it will violate the case handling regulations." Li Zhongjiu took the opportunity to increase pressure.

"I...Captain, Captain!" He turned and ran towards a middle-aged policeman who was walking across the hall.

"Reporter Li, Choi Jong-Bum must be here. They don't dare to stop us. They are just a few policemen." Li Zhongjiu said firmly, looking at the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses beside him.

"If it weren't for the news, I would have almost been tricked by Pei Yongjun." Reporter Li adjusted his glasses and sneered, "Will the person involved explain?"

"Everyone thought it was Goo Hara, right? Turns out it's Choi Jong-bum. It's bound to cause a huge sensation."

"Bae Yong-jun is still quite capable. Hanjiang Sports depends on him." Li Zhongjiu nodded.

"Unfortunately, he was too arrogant. He thought leaving the informant here would be foolproof, and he went back to the agency himself. He really missed the point."

"If you don't keep a close eye on your informants, how can you get any news?"

"Now that we know this, as long as we meet Choi Jong-Bum, we won't be afraid that he won't cooperate. No matter how much Hanjiang Sports offers, we'll give double!"

"If double isn't enough, triple it!"

Reporter Li is full of confidence.

Hangang Sports was once the ace of entertainment news, but now it has become old along with its president, Lim Byung-hun, and is seen by the emerging D agency as a stumbling block on its road to rise.

Lee Hae-chan is the editor-in-chief of the entertainment news group of D agency. He received news that in the highly-publicized breakup of Goo Hara, Bae Young-jun was not following Goo Hara, but Choi Jong-bum.

He tracked down Choi Jong-Bum all the way and finally found him. He rushed to the Nonhyeon-dong Police Station with the legal advisor of Agency D, hoping to intercept this crucial news for Hangang Sports.
