Chapter 121: The Scumbag's Self-Exposure; Xiujing's Discovery [Two-in-One]

Early in the morning, Park Ji-yeon received a message from Li Zhixuan, asking her to take some time to visit Xingji Entertainment.

Happy! No matter whether Li Zhixuan was looking for her for business or personal matters, Park Ji-yeon was very happy, so she came early.

Li Zhixuan hadn't arrived yet, so she stayed in the assistant's office with little Han Ga-in for a while.

At nine o'clock, Li Zhixuan arrived at work on time. Park Zhiyan quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Writer Li, what do you want me to do?"

Li Zhixuan smiled at her, motioned for her to wait, and then instructed his assistant, "Yuan Na, notify the heads of the production, finance, human resources, and public relations departments, as well as the president and vice president, to come to the conference room for a meeting at ten o'clock. Oh! By the way! Call the two deputy directors of the public relations department as well."

"Yes, Teacher Li."

"Jiyeon, come with me."

"Ah? Oh!"

Park Ji-yeon came to her senses and quickly caught up with Li Zhixuan.

So why was she lost in thought just now? Because something was wrong with Li Zhixuan!

What's going on? A screenwriter can call all the company's executives to a meeting? When did screenwriters have so much power?
Before entering the office, she took a special look at the sign on the door. It said [Li Zhixuan Screenwriter Studio], not [President's Office]. Then why did he ask the president and vice president to come to the meeting?
This……

"Sit down, what would you like to drink?"

"Cafe."

"it is good."

Then, Li Zhixuan went to make two cups of coffee and brought them to the sofa.

"Thank you, Zhixuan Oppa." Park Ji-yeon happily took the coffee, took a sip, and asked, "Zhixuan Oppa, what brings you here today?"

When outside in front of Zhang Yuanna, Park Ji-yeon was afraid of being gossiped about, so she pretended to be very polite and businesslike, as if she was not familiar with Li Zhixuan.

Now that they were in the office and there were only the two of them, Park Ji-yeon didn't need to pretend anymore and acted more casually in front of Li Zhixuan.

"I asked you to come here today mainly for two reasons. First, I have written another movie script, and I would like to invite you, Hyomin, and Soojung to play the three female protagonists in it."

"Really!"

Movie heroine!

Park Ji-yeon was instantly overwhelmed by the huge surprise! She threw herself into Li Zhixuan's arms and gave him a big hug!

"Thank you Zhixuan Oppa!"

Now I have my arms full of this sweet and soft beauty... but no!

It smells pretty good, but it's not soft at all. Because Park Ji-yeon has an average figure and is thin. So it's not soft at all, and it's a bit uncomfortable.

However, Li Zhixuan didn't have the nerve to say such hurtful words. He simply patted her on the back and said, "Don't get excited yet. The investment in this movie is only 30 billion South Korean won. I personally think it will be a low-budget, high-grossing movie, but it could also be a bad movie. So, whether you want to act or not, you should read the script first."

An investment of 30 billion South Korean won is indeed quite small, but what capital does Park Ji-yeon have to be picky?
Park Ji-yeon stood up and sat next to him, and said frankly, "For me, it's good enough to have a drama to film. And it's a drama written by you, Oppa. Even if the story you wrote is not very good, I am willing to support it. As long as Oppa doesn't mind my bad reputation."

Hearing her self-deprecating words, Li Zhixuan waved his hands and said, "Why would I dislike you? And you don't have to feel inferior. Your grievances will be cleared up soon. When you become popular again, my movie will have to rely on your popularity."

Hearing that the injustice would be cleared up immediately, Park Ji-yeon was happy: "Haha! That's great! But... um..."

Seeing Park Ji-yeon hesitate to speak, Li Zhixuan couldn't help but be curious: "But what?"

Park Ji-yeon blushed slightly, a hint of embarrassment on her face. "But... why did Oppa only call me? Aren't there three heroines? Why not invite Hyomin and Soojung as well?"

Park Ji-yeon thought, there must be a reason why Li Zhixuan only asked her to come. What was that reason? Was he interested in her?
Although she could see that Li Zhixuan and Lin Yuner had a special relationship, it was obvious that they were not yet boyfriend and girlfriend. Since they hadn't confirmed their relationship, then... right?
Now that she has asked, shouldn't Li Zhixuan express his feelings?

"I asked Jessica to help convey the message to Soojung. As for Hyomin... this is the second thing I want to tell you today."

Huh? (=Д=)
Park Ji-yeon was stunned, because Li Zhixuan's answer was completely different from what she had imagined. This, this, this!

"Is it related to Hyomin-unnie? What is it?"

"Isn't it her birthday the day after tomorrow? I'd like you to give me some advice. Besides the script, what gift should I give her?"

really!

Park Ji-yeon's heart tightened, and then she pretended to be curious and asked, "Do you like Hyomin-unnie?"

"It's not just love, we both already... you're not a child anymore, you should understand, right?"

You said so! Don’t you understand me?!

Park Ji-yeon stood up in an instant, her eyes widened in shock, and she asked, "When did this happen?!"

"That day you were drunk, and I took you to Hyomin's place. Then she was drunk too, and she wanted my body, and I couldn't control myself, and then we..."

As he said this, the scumbag's face turned red and he felt embarrassed.

Huh?! Huh?! Huh?!

Wasn't it me who initiated it that day? I was drunk! Why didn't you go after Hyomin instead of me?!
I asked Hyomin why she was wearing something so sexy the next morning! It turns out it was because...

You guys here! This! This!
I got drunk and helped you two get together! If I had known I wouldn't have drunk so much that day!

Shocked! Regretful!
Immediately, Park Ji-yeon sat down angrily: "What about you and Yoona?"

"What was supposed to happen happened."

"..."

It was so frank! Park Ji-yeon was speechless.

"I know I'm a scumbag, but Yoona and Hyomin also know I'm a scumbag, so... you understand, right?"

"I don't understand!"

It's not that she doesn't understand, it's that she doesn't comprehend. She doesn't understand why Park Hyomin and Li Zhixuan are still together even though they know that he is a scumbag.

Park Ji-yeon was in a bad mood, so her tone became a little aggressive, but Li Zhixuan didn't care much. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. The most important thing is whether you can help me with some advice."

Is it possible? Park Ji-yeon didn't dare to say no.

Li Zhixuan can even invite the president to a meeting, so how can he be an ordinary screenwriter? Can't afford to offend him!

And to be honest, first of all, it was consensual. Park Ji-yeon wanted to intervene in this matter, but if Park Hyomin fell in love, she and Park Hyomin might become enemies.

Second, Li Zhixuan knew to take the trouble to prepare a gift for Park Hyomin, which means that he likes Park Hyomin and is not the kind of scumbag who is irresponsible after having fun.

Third, Li Zhixuan just gave Park Ji-yeon the female lead in a movie. He has to do the job after receiving the favor, right?

"Hyomin loves taking photos and has a collection of cameras."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan's eyes lit up: "I understand! Thank you!"

Seeing Li Zhixuan's happy face, Park Ji-yeon felt a little sad. In fact, she also liked Li Zhixuan. If Li Zhixuan was not a scumbag... Alas!
"So can I go?"

"Okay. Don't tell Hyomin about the movie yet. I want to give her a surprise."

Park Ji-yeon nodded and stood up to leave. But at this moment, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hyomin and Yoona's birthdays are both on May 30th. Who will you be with that day?"

"Of course I accompanied both of them."

"Both of them?" Park Ji-yeon was surprised. "How? Are you planning to invite them both together?"

Li Zhixuan laughed speechlessly: "Is that still a scumbag? Doesn't that make him an idiot?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Isn't tomorrow night the 30th? I'll stay with Yoona first. On the 30th, won't Yoona go home to celebrate her birthday with her father and sister? Then I can go stay with Hyomin."

I’m impressed! Master of time management! I’m really impressed!
After giving the scumbag two thumbs up, Park Ji-yeon reached out and said, "Give me the script!"

"I'll send you an electronic version later."

"goodbye!"

Park Ji-yeon was heartbroken because she broke up before she even fell in love. She had to find a place to heal her wounds.

"Huh~" Park Ji-yeon left and Li Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally finished playing with the suicide truck today, mainly because he had to play with it.

Because it was obvious that Park Ji-yeon was interested in him. But he already had several women, and if there were more, he was worried that he would be too busy to handle them all. So he took the opportunity of the script to reveal himself.

Now it seems that his self-exposure was quite successful this time, and Park Ji-yeon should have given up on him.

start working!
The meeting started at ten o'clock, and the main discussion was about the project establishment of "Gonjiam".

When Li Zhixuan heard Kim Junxian say that Ji Chang Wook turned down "Goblin" in order to appear on the big screen that day, he thought that if Xingji Entertainment wanted to develop comprehensively and become a big name in the South Korean entertainment industry, it would definitely have to make movies.

Considering that it is still early for "Goblin" to start filming and the talent show variety show is still in the preparation stage, if another movie is made, the little money in Xingji Entertainment's account will not only be emptied, but it may also go bankrupt!
So this movie can't be made.

But then again, does making a movie necessarily cost a lot of money? Not necessarily, right?

For example, the famous Hollywood horror movie "Saw" cost $120 million and grossed $1.03 million.

Another example is the movie "Horror Live" released in South Korea two years ago. It cost 35 billion South Korean won and had a box office of 557 million people, with a total amount of nearly 300 billion.

So, Li Zhixuan remembered some low-budget movies he had seen before traveling through time, and finally decided to make a horror movie set in an abandoned mental hospital.

In the previous life, the investment in this movie was equivalent to 24 billion South Korean won, and the box office was about 215 billion, which was definitely a huge profit.

Li Zhixuan copied it and added some classic plots from other horror movies he had seen in his previous life. After the adaptation, Li Zhixuan believed that the cost of the film would not increase much, but the performance would definitely be much better.

Of course, this is just what he thinks.

Jessica Jung also thought it was a bad movie.

Let's just film it and see how it goes. It's only a 30 billion investment, so he can afford to lose it.

After the meeting, the matter was settled.

After finishing the work, Li Zhixuan held a small meeting with his two younger brothers, Xu Shengche and Jin Minhe, the two deputy directors of the public relations department.

In fact, Kim Min Hyuk is mainly needed this time because his father is the president of MGBOX Films, one of the three major cinema chains.

Li Zhixuan hopes to use his connections to get "Gonjiam" as many screenings as possible in the early stages of its release.

After all, no matter how good a movie is, where will the audience come from if it doesn’t have screenings?
After the meeting, it was already noon. Li Zhixuan was thinking about who to have lunch with when he received a call from Pei Zhuxuan.

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the company, what's wrong?"

"What do you want to eat? Soo-jung and I bought lunch and came to see you."

"Bibliop and fried chicken."

"understood."

Half an hour later, Bae Joo-hyun and Krystal Jung came to Li Zhixuan's office with lunch.

"Here, it's yours."

"Thank you."

The three of them sat on the sofa. After receiving the lunch handed to them by Pei Zhuxuan, Li Zhixuan immediately opened it. One was bibimbap and the other was kimchi and beef.

"Where's the fried chicken?"

"Bibliop is high in carbohydrates, and fried chicken is high in fat. Eating the two together is too unhealthy. Let's eat beef to supplement the protein."

"alright."

Although there is no fried chicken, the beef is also good.

Bae Joo-hyun's lunch consisted of a fried egg, a bowl of buckwheat noodles, and a small can of diet cola, while Krystal's lunch consisted of a cup of black coffee, a piece of bread, a boiled egg, and a small mango.

Compared with the meal they had, Li Zhixuan's was a complete feast.

Seeing that he was quite obedient, Bae Joo-hyun had a smile on her lips, feeling a little secretly happy.

Krystal Jung thought: He's already interfering before they're even confirmed, acting like a girlfriend, and the key is that this scumbag oppa is quite obedient. If Yoona knew about this...

"Zhixuan Oppa, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I've read the script you gave me and I think it's well written, but I can't decide which role to play."

"The three heroines have similar roles. Based on their ages, you will definitely play the younger sister. If you don't like this role, then play the middle sister and let Jiyeon play the younger sister. You definitely can't play the eldest sister. You're not the right age. You're too young."

They both have similar roles and are both the main characters, so which one should I play? Krystal couldn't make up her mind, so she said, "I'll think about it."

"Okay, take your time to think about it, there's no rush."

The main reason why Krystal came this time was to say thank you to Lee Chi-Hsuan in person, thanking Lee Chi-Hsuan for giving her the opportunity to act in a movie.

She didn't want to be a third wheel, so she left after dinner.

As for eating, for Krystal Jung, only one right hand is enough, except for peeling eggs, mangoes and drinking coffee.

Her left hand casually rested on the sofa, and then she unconsciously rubbed the sofa. As she rubbed, her hand touched the gap between the sofa cushions, and then she felt a slippery strip of cloth.

what is this?
Out of curiosity, Krystal looked down and realized: This is not a piece of cloth, it is clearly a small piece of stockings.
Huh? Looks familiar!

Ah! I was saying that Jessica was wearing stockings when she went out yesterday!!!
