The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 61 Whose News
"You're going straight home? I'll take you back." Pei Yongjun glanced at the navigation. "Is it Fangbei Cave?"

"No, no! No need for that!" Queen Kwon, who was hugging her knees and thinking about something, suddenly became alert and waved her hands quickly.

Thinking of the shabby apartment building where she lived, she absolutely didn't want Pei Yongjun to know where she lived. If he wanted to send her there, she would be doomed.

She spotted the blue subway station sign at the corner and quickly pointed, "I can just take the subway back! Really! No need to bother!"

"Is it convenient to take the subway?" Pei Yongjun asked.

"It's convenient. I live next to the subway station and can get there quickly." Kwon Eun-bi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Okay, I'll leave you here. I need to go to the newspaper office again." Pei Yongjun slowed down the car and drove towards the subway station.

"Newspaper office? Are you still going there so late?" Kwon Eun-bi thought Bae Yong-jun was also going home.

"Well, there's still some work to do."

"Do you need my help? I'll go too." Kwon Eunbi stopped preparing to get out of the car.

"No, you can't help."

"Oh, okay." Quan Enfei nodded honestly, got off the car and stood by the roadside.

"Be careful on the road." Pei Yongjun waved to her and drove away.

"Goodbye, Team Leader!" Kwon Eun-bi kept waving her hands until the car was no longer visible.

Driving to the newspaper office, Pei Yongjun glanced upstairs and saw that the lights in the office on the third floor were still on.

After a brief thought, he called the editor-in-chief Liu Xuanxi.

"Team Leader Liu?"

"Ah, Editor-in-Chief Pei," Liu Xuanxi greeted warmly, "It's so late, what's going on?"

"Team Leader Liu, are you still at the newspaper office? Are you still working on a manuscript so late at night?"

"Ah?" Liu Xuanxi's voice suddenly became panicked, "I, I..."

"You're still at the newspaper office, right?" Pei Yongjun's tone turned affirmative. "Team Leader Liu, that's perfect. You don't have to make another trip. I need to trouble you with something."

"W-what's the matter?"

"I'm downstairs, let's go upstairs and talk."

Pei Yongjun got out of the car and walked into the newspaper building.

The next morning, at the Hangang Sports Newspaper in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul City
Before the weekly Monday morning meeting, the newspaper's main conference room was packed.

The team leaders of each group were sitting around the long oval table, talking to each other. The chair at the main seat was empty. That was Zhao Dongxu's seat, but today, there was an extra chair next to it.

The members of each group sat in several rows of chairs at the back, and the room was a little noisy.

"Yongjun, do you usually watch baseball?" Zhang Jiyuan from the sports team came over with a smile. "There's a Doosan Bears baseball game next week. Do you want to go watch it together? We can have a few drinks afterward. You can hold your liquor quite well. You were awesome at the last party!"

Doosan Bears is a local team in Busan and is very popular in Busan, so he invited Bae Young-jun.

"Next week? Maybe it depends on the time." Pei Yongjun did not agree directly. He usually doesn't watch baseball games.

"It depends on your convenience. The ticket is with me. I'll send it to you later." Zhang Jiyuan simply did a favor and gave the ticket directly to Pei Yongjun.

As they were talking, the sound in the room faded and Editor-in-Chief Zhao Dongxu walked in from the door.

"morning."

"Editor-in-chief." Everyone bowed and greeted him.

"Good morning." Zhao Dongxu nodded and walked to his seat and sat down. "Yongjun, why are you still sitting over there?"

He looked at Pei Yongjun and patted the empty chair next to him, "Sit here?" The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly changed.

This is a chair that symbolizes the status of editor-in-chief. Everyone looked at Pei Yongjun, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy, very passionate.

"No need, Editor-in-Chief, I'll just sit here." Pei Yongjun didn't move.

Zhao Dongxu invited him again and again, but Pei Yongjun kept declining.

"Oh, Yongjun, you're just too modest." Zhao Dongxu, seeing he couldn't get away with it, shook his head and gave up. "Everyone should learn more from Editor-in-Chief Pei in the future."

"He's very capable, and most importantly, he works very hard..."

Zhao Dongxu began to praise Pei Yongjun.

In the corner of the back row, Quan Enfei was holding a notebook, looking at Pei Yongjun's back, listening intently.

"Oh, this girl, her brain is obsessed with the team leader." Liu Chengzhu glanced at her, nudged Jin Zhicheng beside him, and they both laughed.

"Senior nim..." Kwon Eun-bi's cheeks turned red, and she quickly opened the notebook and pretended to write and draw randomly.

But Zhao Dongxu's praise did not stop easily, and he would say a few good words about Pei Yongjun from time to time.

"What's wrong with this guy today?" Liu Chengzhu muttered to himself, gradually feeling that something was wrong.

"Isn't that wrong?" asked Concubine Quan.

"Isn't this putting the team leader on the spot?" Liu Chengzhu looked at the expressions of the people in the conference room. Some were truly admiring, while others were jealous. "This guy only knows how to play dirty..."

Concubine Quan pursed her lips and became a little nervous.

After the morning meeting reports on the previous week, it's time to discuss this week's news. Each group, in the order they were established, discusses the news in turn. After everyone has discussed it, the editor-in-chief approves it for publication.

In order, Zhang Jiyuan from the Sports Group spoke first. Although the Sports Group was not large, it was the earliest section of Hanjiang Sports, and the convention of seniority was passed down. Pei Yongjun's Social News Group 2 was ranked last.

"Yongjun, starting this week, one-quarter of the space will be given to your group. I'll let them speak first. What do you think?" Zhao Dongxu asked.

"No problem." Pei Yongjun nodded.

The projection screen lit up, displaying the homepage of the website for everyone to describe. Zhao Dongxu's secretary distributed pre-printed paper versions for everyone to compare.

Zhang Jiyuan began to speak, "This week our team interviewed Gwangju FC, and I think a banner that could be placed in the middle..."

In this way, each group spoke one by one. Zhao Dongxu did not have many opinions and mostly nodded in approval.

Finally, Editor-in-Chief Jin from the Emotional News Group finished his speech, and Pei Yongjun took over, "Editor-in-Chief-nim, everyone, then I will..."

"Ah, Yongjun, there's one more thing. Don't worry." Zhao Dongxu suddenly interrupted him and went straight to the next sentence. "After the incident with Group 1, the president has been very concerned about the quality of our news."

"Especially since everyone's current manuscripts are still different from Editor-in-Chief Pei's previous reports."

Everyone looked at him, not knowing what he was going to do.

"So I specifically looked through everyone's previous manuscripts and found a few very good ones. Let's use them as a supplement to this week's news." He waved his hand and asked his secretary to put the news on the projection screen.

Model Wen Jiabi quietly announced a suspension of activities, and insiders suspected that she was preparing for pregnancy

"These few articles," Zhao Dongxu glanced at everyone, finally settling on Pei Yongjun, and smiled slightly, "Does anyone have any opinions?"

"You!" Liu Chengzhu stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, "This is news for our group!"

The four news items were exactly the same as the manuscripts he had obtained from other reporters!
