The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 96 Where to rely on
He really didn't know Cao Guo, but he had taken Cao Guo's classes in school.

A professor who always criticized the various privileges and inequalities in the Korean Peninsula society was extremely popular among the people. Later, he entered politics and joined the Left Progressive Party. He rose to prominence with his popularity and is now the chief secretary for civil affairs of the Blue House, becoming an influential figure in the political arena.

What he likes to criticize most is the various privileges of prosecutors.

So, when faced with the choice between his niece and his own fame, he naturally chose the latter.

"Chief Cao, to be honest, when I heard Prosecutor Zhu was your niece, I was a little worried. But I didn't expect you to be so fair," he replied. "I've admired you since school. I really respect you."

"Editor-in-Chief Pei, you don't have to worry that I will bend the law for personal gain."

"Building a society without privilege and without injustice, this is what I have always pursued." Cho Kuk's voice was firm, making people believe it.

The two exchanged a few more words, and Cao Guo finally seemed to say what he wanted to say.

"Director Li Dongxun?" he asked.

"The year I joined KBS, Director Li happened to be the interviewer for the final interview."

"Ah, I've dealt with Director Li before." Cao Guo responded slowly.

"Special commendation, special search for our advisor, Editor-in-Chief Pei, then..."

"so?"

The two things that Kim Young-ho gave to Bae Yong-jun seemed to be Cao Guo's idea.

"That's it."

"Good." Cao Guo laughed softly, "Young talent, work hard, you are very courageous."

"Let's meet each other sometime."

"A fair and privilege-free society depends on courageous journalists like you."

"It's my honor." Pei Yongjun agreed.

Cao Guo hung up the phone.

A society without privilege?

In short, he admitted that Cao Guo was a qualified politician.

And now, he began to notice himself.

Just this level of attention is enough to scare many people.

But what he wanted was not just this attention, after all...

Zhu Xianying hasn't apologized yet, right?

Special commendation and special search for the headquarters consultant seem to be lacking.

Pei Yongjun looked at his phone and smiled softly.

Looking out the window, he suddenly saw a familiar figure downstairs.

Mo?
----

Well!
Choi Sulli's arm that was resting on the steering wheel slipped, her head dropped sharply, and she woke up suddenly.

"Hmm?" She blinked and finally realized that she had fallen asleep.

She checked her watch and saw that it was already past midnight. She quickly turned her head to look at the five-story building across the street. The building was dark, with only one corner of the fourth floor still having lights on.

Between the windows on the second and third floors, there is a line of large characters hanging.

Han River Sports.

It seems that editor-in-chief nim hasn't left yet.

Choi Sulli leaned on the steering wheel, tilted her head, and looked at the lights reflected in the window.

Choi Sulli tilted her head in thought, imagining what Bae Yong-jun looked like at work.

The two parted ways on the helicopter in the afternoon. After recording the show, Bae Yong-jun rushed straight back to Seoul. Choi Sulli could only watch him drive away on the helicopter.

The police took Zico and three others away. Guo Xiangyan took some photos of the surrounding streets and communities as material and left in a hurry.

Choi Sulli was the only one left at home again.

Although she seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life, Choi Sulli, who decided to go to bed early, couldn't fall asleep.

Alone in the huge room, she saw Pei Yongjun as soon as she closed her eyes. She leaned back, feeling weightless as if falling. When she opened her eyes, she saw his face.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw an empty room. When she turned her head, she could see the courtyard wall, which was where Zico and the other two had climbed over. This made her feel a little uneasy.

Choi Sulli tossed and turned, then simply got up again and drove straight to Seoul, ready to talk to Goo Hara and sleep with her good sister tonight.

She remembered that Pei Yongjun had to rush to report the news tonight, so she took a detour and drove to the downstairs of Hanjiang Sports Center.

I originally just wanted to take a look at where Pei Yongjun worked, but I happened to see the only light on the upstairs floor.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, Choi Sulli was reluctant to leave, so she parked the car nearby and stared at the lights.

The cool white light shines through the window, emitting a soft glow in the deep night.

Just like editor-in-chief nim.

Gradually, her heart calmed down and she fell asleep unknowingly, and only woke up just now.

"What?" She looked at the light and thought of what she had done. Like a peeping pervert, she couldn't help but pull the anti-slip cover on the steering wheel shyly.

"You know nothing, understand?" She poked the steering wheel hard, as if talking to the only person who knew the truth. "Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight."

"Or I'll replace you."

She snorted with a straight face, then burst out laughing.

But it’s okay, no one knows anyway.

I just fell asleep in my car on the side of the road.

How about sleeping here tonight?

Choi Sulli turned her head and a bold idea popped up in her mind.

There's a blanket in the trunk, so it's no problem to spend the night.

She pushed the door open and got out of the car slowly, took out a blanket from the trunk, then took out her cell phone and flipped to the chat interface with Goo Hara.

[Ouni, I fell asleep, you go first...]

You can’t send text messages when you’re asleep, so why not just pretend to be asleep?
But Hola Ouni isn't still waiting for me at home, is she?
Choi Sulli stood behind the car, a little hesitant, and the image of Goo Hara waiting for her with sleepy eyes appeared in her mind.

How about going?

She glanced at the upstairs window, and Goo Hara in her mind suddenly turned into Bae Young-joon working at his desk, burning the midnight oil.

like……

Editor-in-chief Nim has a harder job, right?

right?

Right?
Choi Sulli's fingertips moved back and forth on the screen, her mind full of random thoughts.

"What is it?"

A sudden voice behind her startled her.

"Ah!" She turned around suddenly and found a familiar figure. A look of surprise flashed across her face. "Editor-in-Chief, nim?"

Pei Yongjun was standing behind him.

"Why are you here?" Pei Yongjun looked at Cui Xueli who was hugging a blanket in front of him, "Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing," she thought, racking her brains, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I'm inviting Min-hye and Jimin to dinner tomorrow night. Editor-in-chief, are you coming?"

"Okay." Pei Yongjun's eyes were fixed on her blanket.

Choi Sulli noticed his gaze and quickly hid the blanket behind her. Her crystal clear earlobes blushed slightly, "I..."

She lowered her head, too embarrassed to say what she had done.

"Come on up, don't sleep in the car." Bae Yongjun's voice came, "I'll take you to Hara's house later."

"Okay." Choi Sulli looked at Pei Yongjun who turned and left, stuck out her tongue slightly, and trotted to catch up with him.
