Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

Chapter 149: Diving into the Woods at Midnight [Subscribe, Two-in-One]

The night was getting late and the weather was getting colder. Except for the stream, it seemed as if the whole mountain was asleep.

But Park Hyomin couldn't sleep because this camping trip was not perfect at all. She originally wanted to have a romantic and happy date with Li Zhixuan, but because of the appearance of the other five girls, the date was completely disrupted.

Is this possible?
After watching Ham Eun-jung fall asleep, Park Hyo-min began to act. She carefully and slowly unzipped the partition between the two bedrooms, then rolled over and rolled to Li Zhixuan's side.

First, he zipped up the partition, then leaned close to Li Zhixuan's ear and asked in a very quiet voice, "Zhixuan, are you asleep?"

"Asleep." Li Zhixuan closed his eyes and did not move, and answered in a very low voice.

Seeing that the scumbag was not asleep either, Park Hyomin smiled in surprise, then lay down in his arms and asked coquettishly in his ear: "Are you asleep? You're still talking when you're asleep?"

"Dream talk." As he said this, Li Zhixuan hugged Park Hyomin in his arms and kissed her gently. It was hard to see in the darkness, but he happened to kiss her on the mouth.

In response, Park Hyomin questioned, "What happened just now was just dream talking. What is this? A dream kiss?"

"Stupid, this is called sleepwalking."

"Uh……"

"Haha!" Feeling Park Hyomin's embarrassment, Li Zhixuan couldn't help laughing.

His smile made Park Hyomin, who was already feeling embarrassed, feel a little embarrassed and annoyed. She quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Still laughing! If they hear me, I'll be arrested!"

Li Zhixuan immediately nodded to show that he was no longer laughing.

Afterwards, Park Hyomin took her hand away and whispered in Li Zhixuan's ear, "You could have kept it a secret, why did you suddenly confess?"

"I can go camping right away if I want to. Everything is ready in just over an hour. Is this something an ordinary screenwriter can do? If I don't tell you the truth, you'll have wild thoughts too. I might as well just tell you directly."

Hearing this, Park Hyomin thought to herself: That makes sense. So he had to reveal his identity in order to fulfill my wish? Does that mean he actually likes me?
Thinking of this, Park Hyomin hesitated and said, "If... um..."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Li Zhixuan said, "If what? Just tell me. It's okay, I won't be angry no matter what you say."

"Well... I mean, if one day I want to end our relationship, will you... bully me?"

Bullied you? You mean forced you?
"Do you want to hear the truth or the truth?"

Truth or truth? Doesn't it make a difference?

Park Hyomin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then tell the truth."

"To be honest, if you absolutely must break up, I certainly won't take advantage of my power to bully you. We can just part ways amicably then."

Despite receiving Li Zhixuan's promise that he wouldn't bully her, Park Hyomin didn't feel happy. Instead, she felt a little upset. She wondered: Does he like me or not? Why doesn't he seem possessive?

Feeling a little unhappy, Park Hyomin asked again: "What if it's the truth?"

Just now, the scumbag asked her whether she wanted to hear the truth or the truth. Now that she has heard the truth, it is time for her to hear the truth.

She thought the scumbag was joking, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, Li Zhixuan ravaged her delicate buttocks and said viciously: "To be honest, you dare to break up? I think you deserve to be punished!"

After saying that, Li Zhixuan was about to whip Park Hyomin.

Feeling her man's slightly rough movements, Park Hyomin's heart was pounding, and she felt inexplicably excited. Then she quickly begged for mercy in a low voice: "No, no, no! If they hear us, we're done for! I still have questions to ask!"

Hearing this, Li Zhixuan stopped and asked, "What's the problem?"

"That is, why do you want to help us? Do you sympathize with us? Or... do you like us?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan became unhappy: "According to what you're saying, should I unleash my animal instincts and sleep with all six of you?"

Hearing that he was unhappy, Park Hyomin quickly explained: "How could I mean that? You misunderstood."

"So what do you mean? You're helping you because you suspect I'm up to something bad. Right?"

Yes, a little bit, but...

"No, I mean, if you like them, don't worry about my feelings. Anyway... you understand?"

Anyway, Li Zhixuan already has several women, and she is not Li Zhixuan’s official girlfriend.

If Li Zhixuan really gets those other girls, then if there's a palace fight with the Girls' Generation faction or the Idiot faction in the future, she'll still have a few comrades.

After hearing Park Hyomin's explanation, Li Zhixuan said angrily, "Forget it, I'm too busy. It's not okay for a grown man to always be in the arms of a beauty. I have to focus on my career!"
After spending time with you tonight, I'll be back in Seoul tomorrow to start preparing for the filming of "Gonjiam." You should also take a good look at the script. Although this drama is low-budget, it's not impossible to make a fortune with a small investment. If you act well, you might be able to break into the film industry through this."

Hearing this, Park Hyomin quickly expressed her stance: "Yeah, I won't let you down. So are you going to sleep?"

"Sleep?" Li Zhixuan's lips curled slightly in the darkness, revealing a wicked smile. Then he leaned close to Park Hyomin's ear and whispered, "Do you know why I need to spray insect repellent?"

"Why? Isn't it to repel insects?"

"It's to keep away insects, but also because there's a vast world out there where we can do a lot."

Li Zhixuan even put an emphasis on the word "作", and Park Hyomin understood it immediately!
Her face flushed, and she hesitated: "This..."

"I've already done some scouting. There's a flat area in the woods over there. When I sprayed the pesticide just now, I deliberately sprayed a little more there."

"Then... remember to cover my mouth later."

"okay!"

"Wait a minute! Will the bodyguards see us?"

"No, don't worry."

"Ok."

The tent they were staying in had three doors. In addition to the main door, there was a side door on each side. Li Zhixuan and Park Hyomin then left through the side door, pulling a blanket with them as they left.

After they left, the remaining five girls opened their eyes.

Didn’t sleep?! Yes! Didn’t sleep!

After all, they were out in the open air, how could they easily fall asleep? Furthermore, they were curious whether Park Hyomin and Lee Chih-hyun would meet up while they were asleep.

As it turns out, yes!

Although they didn't hear everything about the conversation between Li Zhixuan and Park Hyomin, they understood most of it. There was nothing they could do because the mountains were too quiet.

Their current mood is... quite complicated.

But they soon stopped thinking because a sound faintly emanated from the woods that was enough to make them lose sleep... "Girls' Generation gathers in YoonA's birthday live broadcast room!"

Jessica made a surprise appearance in Yoona's birthday live broadcast room!

That woman is back!

True or false? Nine members of Girls' Generation shed tears in the live broadcast room!

Jessica returns to the team! But refuses to sign with Shamo!

"Jessica and Park Min-young, long-time best friends, signed contracts with Star Entertainment at the same time!"

"Lin Yuna will star in "Goblin", revealing the PY transaction between Shamo and Star Entertainment!"

"Jessica is suspected of being in love with a senior executive of Xingji Entertainment, and the stupid ban order is invalid!"

Im Yoona's livestream has the Korean entertainment industry going bananas! Jessica Jung, Im Yoona, Girls' Generation, and "Shamou" have all taken the top spots on trending searches, with searches in countries like China, South Korea, and Japan leading the trending searches. This has sparked all sorts of speculation.

That night, many fans were watching the drama online, and many marketing accounts, self-media, and entertainment reporters were writing articles overnight. After all, this huge amount of traffic was too rare to come by, and they had to catch it!

As for the nine members of Girls' Generation, they went back to their respective homes after the live broadcast last night. They were not affected by the various "news" on the Internet at all. They got up this morning and went to work on time.

On the other hand, after returning to Seoul, Li Zhixuan went straight to the company, took a shower in the office, changed clothes, and then started working.

The first thing I dealt with was the company's finances and personnel, and then the specific business matters. The first was a complete planning proposal for a talent show.

After discussions between the production departments of Star Entertainment and JTBC TV, the women's talent show was finally named: "Hi! Girl"

The general process is to hold auditions across South Korea to select 48 girls to go to the TV station to participate in the competition. At that time, they will be divided into six groups, and one person from each group will get a debut spot, and the rest will be eliminated.

The audience will then vote to revive N people, who will then decide the three debut spots.

The nine girls who won in the end formed a girl group and debuted directly.

Who will win depends mainly on three aspects: one is the vote of professional judges or mentors on site, one is the vote of the audience on site, and the last is the vote of the audience after the show is broadcast.

This was roughly the situation. Li Zhixuan looked through it carefully and felt that there was no problem, so he approved the plan.

After finishing the work, Li Zhixuan went to the production department and talked with Zheng Fanshi, a film director who had just signed a contract with Xingji Entertainment.

Director Zheng was born in 1970. His first film as a director was a horror film called "Strange Stories" in 2007. The film did not perform well at the time and the investors lost a lot of money.

So later on he couldn't get any investment and could only do some screenwriting work.

It wasn't until 2012 that he got another chance to direct. This time, the "Horror Stories" he wrote and directed was a good box office hit and made a small profit, so "Horror Stories 2" received investment.

In 2013, "Horror Stories 2" was released and lost money again. Zheng Fanshi returned to his job as a screenwriter and has been doing so ever since.

This time, Xingji Entertainment was going to film "Gonjiam," but the company didn't have a director who could make a good horror film. Furthermore, with only 30 billion yuan invested in "Gonjiam," they couldn't afford a big-name director.

After searching for a long time, the Xingji Entertainment Production Department set its sights on Zheng Fanshi.

Although this guy's directing ability is average, his screenwriting ability is good, otherwise he would not have been in the entertainment industry for so many years.

So Li Zhixuan decided to sign him. Even if he was not needed as the director in the end, it would be nice to keep him as a screenwriter.

After arriving at the production department, Li Zhixuan talked with Zheng Fanshi alone about the movie "Gonjiam". After the conversation, Li Zhixuan felt that this person's understanding of the story and script was pretty good.

Finally, it was decided that the film would be directed by Jung Beom-shik and written by Lee Chi-hyun. The female leads were Krystal Jung, Park Hyo-min, and Park Ji-yeon, while the male leads were three newcomers.

There was no other way. The female lead had three celebrities, and if the male lead also had a celebrity, the production cost would have exceeded the budget. So, we had to find three new actors with reliable acting skills.

After this matter was decided, the actors were immediately notified and the script reading began in the afternoon!
The main purpose of the so-called script reading is to help actors better understand their roles, improve team collaboration efficiency, and ensure the ultimate consistency of the script.

For the crew of "Gonjiam", this is a low-budget movie with a shooting period of only more than half a month. After that, "Goblin" will start shooting, and Xingji Entertainment's focus will be on "Goblin" with an investment of 20 billion yuan.

Therefore, there was no time for the actors to familiarize themselves with the script and understand their roles. They quickly read together, and once all the crew departments were ready, filming began immediately.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Park Hyomin and Park Jiyeon, who had just separated from Li Zhixuan in the morning, came to Xingji Entertainment to see him again.

Because there were other people present, especially Krystal Jung, Park Hyomin pretended not to be familiar with Lee Chi-hyun at all.

Krystal Jung had no concerns. After the script reading was over, she immediately walked towards Li Zhixuan.

Seeing this, Park Hyomin and Park Jiyeon left.

"You didn't spend time with Yoona last night, nor did you go see Irene. Where were you? Which girl did you pick up again?"

Facing his sister-in-law's questioning, could Li Zhixuan tell the truth? He didn't dare. So he pretended to be serious and replied: "I went to the mountains to find inspiration."

"Go to the mountains?! To find inspiration?!"

"Ah."

This answer was beyond Zheng Xiujing's expectation. She suspected that the scumbag was deceiving her, so she asked suspiciously: "What inspiration are you looking for?"

"Scripts! The company promised Min-young two dramas every year, and she also wants to act in the drama I wrote, so don't I have to find inspiration? Otherwise, how can I write the script?"

"Is it necessary to go to the mountains to find inspiration?" Krystal was still skeptical.

"It's better to be away from people and calm down, right?"

"So, are you still going to the mountains tonight?"

Krystal was still skeptical, mainly because she didn't believe the scumbag would go to the mountains alone. If he went there again tonight, she planned to follow him again.

"No, I have to go find Irene. Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll be angry and ignore me."

"You deserve it if I ignore you! Humph!"

If you're not going, forget it. Zheng Xiujing turned and left, and Li Zhixuan followed immediately.

"Don't leave so quickly. I'm planning to buy a gift for Irene, but I don't know what to buy. Can you give me some advice?"

"Height-enhancing insoles!"

_"You want me dead?"
