The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 81: Not Knowing Mount Tai (Additional Update)
"President, I, I..." Zhao Youbin looked at the phone next to his face, dumbfounded and shocked.

Distinguished guest?

How can it be?

Bae Young-joon?
Isn't he just a paparazzi?

He didn't know how this tabloid reporter who had sneaked into the building became the company's distinguished guest. "I'm here, I'm..."

"Speak properly!" Li Chengzhu raised his voice and spoke in a stern tone.

"President, this Bae Yong-jun is from Hangang Sports! He sneaked into the building and committed a crime here. It's really..." Zhao Youbin couldn't accept it and tried to explain to Li Chengzhu, "President, are you..."

"He's a guest of the company now, understand?!" Li Chengzhu interrupted him mercilessly, "Don't let me hear you say anything about violence and killing again!"

"I, I..." Zhao Youbin gritted his teeth and responded aggrievedly, "Okay, President, I understand."

"Alright, he came to the company for something important. You just listen to Editor Pei's instructions. That's it!"

Li Chengzhu hung up the phone and a busy tone was heard.

Pei Yongjun took back his phone and Zhao Youbin stood there in a daze.

"Manager Zhao, can I leave now?"

Pei Yongjun's words brought Zhao Youbin back to his senses.

His forehead was red, swollen, and stinging, and his shoulders were also in great pain. He glanced at the trainees in the distance who were looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and ridicule, and he felt so frustrated that he was about to explode.

But since Li Chengzhu had given the order, he could only swallow his anger, clenching his fists and uttering a few words through his teeth, "Okay, let's go, Editor-in-Chief Pei, nim."

"I'm sorry for offending you today." Pei Yongjun nodded and walked out. The guards quickly made way for him and looked at him in shock and fear. They didn't know who he was and how he could even make President Li Chengzhu call him personally.

Choi Sulli stuck out her tongue at Zhao Youbin and turned around to follow Pei Yongjun.

"Wait!" An angry shout suddenly came from behind her, and she shuddered all over. "Who told you to leave?"

Pei Yongjun stopped and turned around.

"Editor-in-Chief Pei, you are a distinguished guest of the company, and I can't control you, but Choi Sulli is an artist of the company! It's not your turn to control you!" Zhao Youbin's eyes were red, and he couldn't swallow this anger when Choi Sulli was taken away in front of him.

And he absolutely didn't believe that the company would ever give up on controlling the artists.
Pei Yongjun must have been trying to get away with it by using chicken feathers as a token of authority for some reason.

Could it be that President Li was intentionally leaving his words unsaid, hinting that I should keep Choi Sulli?
He was beaten up in front of the guards, trainees and artists, and he lost so much face. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

The order to strictly control Choi Sulli was told by Lee Soo Man's secretary!

Thinking of this, Zhao Youbin suddenly felt bolder. "Editor-in-Chief Pei, whether you want to visit the company or leave, it's up to you."

"But Choi Sulli, don't even think about taking her away!"

"This is the company's order!"

"Ah! You guys, stop just watching! Catch Choi Sulli!"

The guards looked at each other. Compared to the illusory and distant Lee Sung-soo, Zhao Youbin in front of them was more worthy of their obedience.

They gradually gathered around Bae Yong-jun and Choi Sulli, and the trainees in the distance exclaimed in surprise.

Looking at the ferocious-looking Zhao Youbin and the guards surrounding him, Cui Xueli bit her lip nervously and subconsciously took a step back, but bumped into Pei Yongjun's broad body.

"Editor-in-Chief..."

Pei Yongjun took a step forward and stood in front of her.

Choi Sulli looked at his broad back, her eyes shining, as if she was no longer afraid of anything.

"Manager Zhao, don't you listen to what President Li says?" Pei Yongjun looked calm, as if he didn't take the person in front of him seriously at all.

"President Li didn't mention anything about Choi Sulli. Editor-in-Chief Pei, if you really have that much power, then let President Li tell me again!" Zhao Youbin felt more and more that Pei Yongjun was bluffing. "Otherwise, don't try to be a hero here!"

"Manager Zhao, I'm taking Sulli away, not to testify, you can rest assured." Pei Yongjun explained, "There's a program that I need her to discuss."

"You're talking nonsense! Do you think I'll believe you?" Zhao Youbin sneered, "My artist, you want to take him away? Don't even think about it!"

"Your artist?"

"What else? Her agency contract is still in my hands, Editor Pei. As long as the contract is in place, she'll have to obey me. You don't even understand this, do you?"

"That's really harsh." Pei Yongjun raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly.

"Ugly? So what if it's unpleasant! Choi Sulli, you have to stay here today!" Zhao Youbin grinned, "This is the rule. Anyone who comes here has to bow their head!"

"Get out of the way, otherwise..." His cheek twitched as he looked at the guard, "Then I'll have to be rude..."

"Zhao Youbin!" Suddenly there was an angry roar, "What are you doing!"

This familiar voice made Zhao Youbin look aside in surprise.

A figure was struggling to squeeze through the trainees, shouting towards them, "Zhao Youbin!"

"It's Director Kim..." Choi Sulli recognized him as Kim Hyung-jik, the director of the agency office, who was in charge of all the agents.

Jin Jiong squeezed through the chaotic trainees and ran over quickly, his face full of anger, followed by several hurried entourages.

"Director Jin, why are you here? I...ah!"

Jin Jiong was barely catching his breath when he slapped Zhao Youbin in the face without a word, his brow furrowed and his eyes wide open in anger. "Shit! Are you deaf?"

"Apologize!"

"I, I, no, no," Zhao Youbin said, his immediate superior coming in person. He received a slap, but his face was filled with fear. He hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry...ah!"

Jin Jiongzhi slapped him on the other side of the face, "Who asked you to apologize to me? To Editor Pei!"

"Ah? Me?" Zhao Youbin opened his eyes wide in disbelief. "Him?"

"What did the president say to you? Don't you listen to the president?" It seemed that Kim Hyung-jik came here on the orders of Lee Sung-soo.

"But, but, he insisted on taking Choi Sulli away, and the company's orders were not to let her leave the building! I also...ah!"

Jin Hyung-ji still wasn't satisfied, so he slapped him again, his voice stern, "Company orders! Apart from President Li, who else can be the company's orders?"

Zhao Youbin's face suddenly turned pale.

Only then did he realize that he might have been caught up in the subtle contest between uncle and nephew Lee Soo-man and Lee Sung-soo.

"Director Lee from KBS personally called President Lee to ask Sulli to discuss appearing on the show. Editor-in-Chief Pei came here just for this! Do you have to ask President Lee to come and explain it to you personally for it to count as a company order?!"

"Li, Director Li?" Another word blew Zhao Youbin away like a cannonball.

"Director Lee from KBS Broadcasting Station! Haven't you met him?!"

The Broadcasting Bureau is responsible for the arrangement and broadcasting of programs and is the most authoritative department in the TV station. A single word from them is enough to determine the life or death of an artist on TV.

If he offends the broadcasting station, he'll be socially dead in this industry...

"I, I..." Zhao Youbin looked at Pei Yongjun, who looked calm. His knees suddenly softened and he fell to the ground with a plop. "Editor-in-Chief Pei..."

"Sorry, sorry, I."
