The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 44 Everyone’s Lady
"Woolim isn't a big company, with only about 20 employees. The boss, Lee Jung-yeop, had some gang background in his early years, and there have been rumors that he would beat up the company's trainees and even artists."

"Beat?" Kim Yong-min asked. "To this extent?"

"Yes, assault. Not just a couple of random hits. It was a very vicious beating, the kind that would land someone in the hospital."

"Ah!" Jin Min-yeon screamed.

Pei Yongjun looked at her, and she immediately covered her mouth, but her eyes were still wide open.

Aunt Ying'ai took a deep breath and touched Jin Min's thin shoulder next to her, as if she was worried about whether she could bear it.

"But there has been no real clue. After all, everyone still wants to debut, so they dare not say anything."

"Oh, why did he hit people? What was his motive?" Jin Rongmin unconsciously put on the professional habits of a policeman.

"His company is not big, and the percentage of profits they give to artists is very low. They are also very harsh on trainees. In this case, using violence and intimidation can make them earn money honestly."

These things have been reported. It was the news that Liu Chengzhu reported. Pei Yongjun picked out the important ones and talked about them.

"Two or three months ago, a trainee from their company broke the news to us, saying that he was beaten by Li Chongye, so we went to interview him and did an anonymous report."

"Aunt, big companies like SM are relatively better, but trainees are the most vulnerable in the company after all, so it's better to be careful."

Pei Yongjun looked at Jin Minxiao, "Minxiao, if you encounter something like this, no matter who did it, you must tell your uncle and aunt. You must not keep it in your heart. Do you understand?"

Jin Min-woon was a little scared when he heard this, and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Yes, then let your Yongjun oppa expose them all!" said Yingai's aunt.

"Then I will pay Min-won for the information." Bae Yong-jun nodded.

"Really?" Jin Min-woon couldn't help but ask expectantly.

Everyone laughed.

"Really, I will give Min-won a big red envelope." Bae Yong-jun said with a smile.

Young-ae's aunt asked Bae Young-jun to leave a phone number for Kim Min-woon, telling her that she could ask him if she had any questions.

Pei Yongjun nodded in agreement, and the others talked while eating. Kim Yongmin felt very proud of the gift Pei Yongjun gave him, so he was very happy and kept talking.

But Jin Minyao turned a deaf ear and kept eating.

Where did the food go?

Pei Yongjun looked at her thin and small body and couldn't help but think.

As we were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Huh? Who?" Kim Yongmin was stunned.

"Ah! Mom! Jimin-unnie is here to see me!" Kim Min-woon stood up suddenly, "I haven't changed my clothes yet!"

She put down her dishes and rushed back to the bedroom.

"Minwoon, finish eating! Kim Minwoon! How can you be so rude!" Aunt Young-ae smiled apologetically at Bae Yong-jun and chased into the bedroom.

"This girl..." Jin Rongmin didn't take it seriously. He stood up and walked towards the door. "She's a good friend she met at SM. She's also a trainee."

Pei Yongjun also left the table and came to the living room. There was a sound of the door opening. Jin Rongmin invited in a gentle tone, "Ji Min, come in and sit down. Min Yeon is changing clothes."

He opened the door and saw a girl with pigtails standing at the door.

"Uncle, excuse me for disturbing you." A gentle voice came, and then a girl with two pigtails walked in from the door.

She was wearing a long, thin black windbreaker, a white turtleneck sweater and light-colored jeans. She had a small, slightly pointed face with delicate features, and her skin looked white and tender in the plain clothes.

"This is Minyoung's oppa, Yongjun, and this is Minyoung's good friend, Zhimin. Come, sit down, I'll get some water." Bae Yongjun looked at her.

She clasped her hands on her belly, carrying a light brown shoulder bag, and bowed gracefully, "Hello, I'm Liu Zhimin."

"Hello, Ji Min, my name is Bae Yong Jun." Bae Yong Jun nodded and asked her to sit on the sofa.

"Excuse me." Liu Zhimin sat down and looked at Pei Yongjun's features. "Yongjun Oppa, excuse me, are you Minwang's..."

She seemed to be well-educated, with a constant smile on her face and her eyes slightly narrowed.

"I'm her cousin. My mother and Uncle Rongmin are cousins," Pei Yongjun explained. "I came to visit today."

"I see," Liu Zhimin noticed the situation in the restaurant, "Sorry to interrupt your dinner."

"Not really, I just ate..." Pei Yongjun was halfway through his words when he heard Kim Min-won's voice from the bedroom.

"Ouni, wait for me, I'll be right there!" She yelled, "Mom! Where's my white skirt? Where did you put it?!"

"Mom, why did you hit me?!"

Pei Yongjun and Liu Zhimin looked at each other, and the sense of strangeness faded a little.

"Is Min-hyeon like this at the company too?" he asked.

"No, Min-hyeon is very well-behaved and cute at the company." Liu Zhimin looked towards the bedroom, "Not really..."

"Lively?" Pei Yongjun continued.

She nodded, covered her mouth and smiled softly, her eyebrows curved, and a tiny mole at the corner of her mouth was revealed between her white fingers. Her pigtail, which was tied on the left, went around her slender neck and then to her chest, resting on the front of her bulging sweater.

Pei Yongjun suddenly thought of Concubine Kwon Eun-bi again, and then thought of the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.

The room was a little hot, so he picked up the water cup and took a sip.

"Come on, have some water." Kim Yong-min came out with a cup and handed it to Liu Zhimin. The three of them began to chat casually.

Pei Yongjun observed Liu Zhimin. Her speech was very mature and appropriate, which was in stark contrast to her youthful and energetic skin. She didn't look like a high school student who was a trainee, but more like a civil servant who had been working in society for several years.

Not long after, Jin Min-woon rushed out of the bedroom, panting, while putting on a sweater.

"Unnie! Unnie! I'm ready, let's go."

"Then uncle, Yongjun Oppa, Minwoon and I will leave first." Liu Zhimin stood up and walked out with Jin Minwoon.

Her steps were steady, the hem of her windbreaker swinging slowly, and Kim Min-woon jumped up and down beside her.

Liu Zhimin walked out of the door, bowed goodbye to Pei Yongjun and others at the door, and then walked down the stairs with Jin Minyue, and their figures disappeared.

"She's truly a lady from a noble family. I wish my Minhwan could be half as quiet as her." Kim Yongmin smacked his lips.

"A lady from a noble family?" Pei Yongjun looked at him.

"Yeah." Jin Rongmin lowered his voice, "I heard that Zhimin's father is not an ordinary person. He is a very powerful local official."

"Look," he led Pei Yongjun to the bedside and saw Liu Zhimin holding Jin Minyue's hand and getting into a car downstairs, "There's a driver."

"A family like this wants to be an idol too? How weird," he muttered.

Pei Yongjun nodded slowly.
