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

Chapter 244: A Word Decides Life and Death [Subscribe, Two-in-One]

To be honest, Park Dae-beom didn't have any paparazzi experience, but he had been working as a reporter for the Seoul Sports Daily for almost three years, including internships and apprenticeships. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he'd seen plenty of pigs run away.

But he had never heard of being held at gunpoint for being a paparazzi!
Oh my god! Taking secret photos is wrong, but it's not a crime punishable by death, right?

What's going on with Lee Chi-hyun and Park Ji-yeon? Aren't they the screenwriter and actor? How did they become gangsters?

If Park Dafan hadn't drunk much water today and his bladder was really empty, he would have peed his pants the moment he saw bodyguard Li Zhixuan pull out his gun.

But even if he didn't pee, he was so scared that he was trembling all over and couldn't move.

Soon, he was pulled out of the car and stuffed into a commercial vehicle, and then he was escorted all the way to the Han River by the gangsters he thought were there.

Of course, in addition to Park Dafan, all his electronic devices including mobile phones, cameras, computers, etc. were not spared and were all found and taken away by Li Zhixuan's bodyguards.

Along the way, Park Dafan didn't dare to move, didn't dare to say a word, and didn't even dare to open his eyes.

In just over ten minutes, various ways of his own death flashed through his mind.

He was suddenly thrown out of the car and died on the highway, taken to the mountains and shot and his body abandoned, taken to the Han River and sunk into the river, found an abandoned factory or house and hanged or had his throat slit to let the blood flow, or pushed to death from the roof of a building, and so on.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The more he thought about it, the more he trembled. The car suddenly stopped. Park Dafan thought he had arrived at his destination and was about to start his journey. Finally, he completely collapsed.

He collapsed to the ground with a cry, hugged the legs of the "gangster" next to him and began to cry and beg for mercy: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Wuwuwu, I beg you, don't kill me! Wuwuwu, Huang Zaijun sent me here, I'm just an employee. Huh?!"

At this point, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! It was that bastard Huang Zaijun who sent me here. He's the mastermind. If you want to kill someone, just go and kill him, okay? I beg you, please spare my life. I have parents at home who are waiting for me to take care of them until the end of their lives! Wuuuuu!"

Seeing Park Dafan crying, the bodyguard whose legs were hugged by him felt disgusted and wanted to kick him away immediately, but at this moment, the car door opened.

Seeing the situation in the car, Li Zhixuan got in and hurriedly said, "Why are you still kneeling? Help him up! Look how scared you guys are! Hurry up and wipe him off with some paper!"

"Yes!"

After being taught a lesson, some of the bodyguards in the car quickly helped Park Dafan sit up, while others quickly found tissues to wipe his nose and tears.

Some took Park Dafan's electronic device and reported to Li Zhixuan: "President, there are thirteen photos in this camera that this reporter secretly took of you and Miss Zhiyan.

There are three manuscripts in this laptop, one exposing your relationship with Ms. Jiyeon, one maliciously speculating about your relationship with Tara, and one whitewashing the Liu Huaying sisters.

As for the others, I haven’t checked them yet.”

This bastard! Forget the first two articles, what kind of cuckoldry is this about trying to whitewash Liu Huaying and her sister? Damn it!
While cursing in his heart, Li Zhixuan sat in a seat near the middle door.

After taking the laptop and glancing over the contents of the manuscript, Li Zhixuan looked at Park Dafan with a smile: "You're quite quick! It's only been a few hours, and you've already finished three manuscripts. You're a talent!"

"Gudong!"

Park Dafan slid down from his seat and knelt in front of Li Zhixuan, then hugged his legs and started crying again: "I'm sorry, President Li! I know I was wrong, please spare my life! I was also used by Huang Zaijun, please let me go, I will work like a slave to repay you in the future! Wuwuwu!"

Without waiting for Li Zhixuan to say anything, the two bodyguards quickly pulled Park Dafan away.

Li Zhixuan brushed his trouser legs with his hands, then said to Park Dafan, who was still kneeling on the ground, comfortingly: "I know that you were also tricked by Huang Zaijun, so I don't blame you this time, you don't have to be afraid."

Don’t blame me?!
Park Dafan was instantly overjoyed, and hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you! Thank you! Wuuwuwu."

As she spoke, she started crying again. This time, she couldn't help crying because she was so happy. She wiped her tears with her arms while crying, and she couldn't stop.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan suddenly froze for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then gave a wink to bodyguard Park Dafan.

Seeing this, the two bodyguards quickly helped Park Dafan up again and gave him a tissue to wipe his tears.

After Park Dafan calmed down a bit, Li Zhixuan asked, "Which media outlet do you work for? Do you have a press card?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Li Zhixuan mention the press card, Park Dafan blushed and explained awkwardly: "I don't have a press card yet, but I have a work permit."

As he spoke, he quickly searched his pockets, found his work ID, handed it to Li Zhixuan, and introduced himself: "I'm a trainee reporter for the Seoul Sports Daily. I'm from Uijeongbu City, Gyeonggi Province. My name is Park Dae-fan."

After taking a look at the contents of the work permit and confirming that Park Dafan was not lying, Li Zhixuan returned the work permit to him and said with a smile: "It's still a big media, there is a future!"

"I'm sorry to embarrass you." Park Dafan blushed a little. He didn't think he had any future as a trainee reporter.

At the same time, Park Dafan was also feeling that the underworld boss Li Zhixuan was much more approachable and spoke more pleasantly than his men.

"How long does it take for a trainee reporter to become a full-time reporter?"

"Uh..." Park Dafan just thought that Li Zhixuan spoke nicely, but Li Zhixuan asked him a question that made him very embarrassed.

But even if he was extremely embarrassed, he didn't dare not answer.

“The timing is uncertain, and we need to wait in line until our predecessors retire.”

"I have to wait in line for this thing? I thought I could become a regular employee after passing the assessment during the apprenticeship period."

Li Zhixuan was a little surprised, and then asked, "If you make a big news, can you be promoted? Will your credit be taken away by others?"

He wants to help me make big news?
Park Dafan was delighted and quickly said, "If I can make a big news and prove my work ability, I can certainly be promoted to a regular employee. Although I will definitely have to share some of the profits with my seniors, it will not affect my promotion."

Li Zhixuan nodded: "So Huang Zaijun gave you a chance to become a regular employee, right?"

Upon hearing this, Park Dafan panicked again and quickly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Alright, alright." Li Zhixuan raised his hand to interrupt Park Dafan. "Don't be afraid. Ignorance is not blame. I don't mean to blame you. Sit down."

"Thank you."

"Huang Zaijun is considered a sports star. If you were to photograph him taking two girls on a boat on the Han River in the middle of the night, and doing something indecent, would that be enough for you to get a permanent job?"

In fact, even without Li Zhixuan's words, Park Dae-fan was also planning to deal with Huang Zaijun. After all, he was almost killed by Huang Zaijun. He didn't dare to do anything to Li Zhixuan, but he also didn't dare to retaliate against Huang Zaijun?
However, as a trainee reporter, he didn't have any negative information about Huang Zaijun. He had originally planned to find someone to buy it, but now that he heard that Li Zhixuan might have some negative information about Huang Zaijun, he immediately became excited.

"Enough! Enough! Thank you! Thank you! From now on I am yours. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I will absolutely obey you!"

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards in the car almost burst into curses: "You bastard, you really know how to climb the ladder! From now on, you belong to the Third Young Master? What is your status? You don't deserve it!"
Li Zhixuan was cheerful. After all, this was the first person in the media industry to take the initiative to join him. Although Park Dafan was only a trainee reporter, who could predict the future?
Even beggars can become emperors, so the potential for a trainee reporter to grow into a big reporter is quite high. While Li Zhixuan wasn't sure if this timid trainee reporter could make it, he didn't mind taking her on. What if she could be of use in the future? Right?
"Work hard! As long as you do well, you'll have a bright future. Oh, by the way! You don't know who I am, do you? Let me introduce myself. My last name is Li, and I'm the chairman of Xingji Entertainment Company and also the president of Lelang Security Company."

Li? I know, Li Zhixuan's last name is...

After listening to what Li Zhixuan said, Park Dafan was still very curious why Li Zhixuan emphasized that his surname was Li, but he soon realized it.

Xingji Entertainment was previously a subsidiary of the Lee Group. It was only when "Gonjiam" was released some time ago that the Lee Group issued an announcement saying that it only had 20% of the shares of Xingji Entertainment.

So, the person who acquired 80% of Xingji Entertainment’s shares is the young gangster in front of him?

No! The eldest son of the Li family is called Li Zhiwen, and the one in front of me is called Li Zhixuan. Both have the surname Li and are from the "Zhi" generation. Is this really a coincidence?

After taking a closer look at Li Zhixuan's appearance, Park Dafan felt that Li Zhixuan looked more and more like Li Zhengxian.

and so……

"Gurgle~" Park Dafan swallowed nervously: "You...you are..."

Park Dafan was a little hesitant to say it, for fear of getting beaten if he guessed wrong.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan reached out and patted his shoulder, saying with a smile: "Do a good job, I'm counting on you."

"Yes! I will do my best and live up to your expectations!"

Regardless of whether Li Zhixuan is the young master of the Li family, since he can be protected by people with guns, his status cannot be low. Park Dafan feels that this is a blessing in disguise, so he is very excited.

Afterwards, Li Zhixuan got out of the car and called the security team leader to his side, instructing him, "Give him the photos of Huang Zaijun that you took that night, and try to find some negative information about Huang Zaijun."

"Yes!"

"Call the other two team leaders over."

"Yes."

Soon, the other two security team leaders also ran over, bowed to Li Zhixuan and greeted him, waiting for instructions.

"Around three in the afternoon, I received news that Hwang Jae-gyun had found a reporter to expose Ji-yeon and me."

You received the news so early?!

Seeing the three people's surprised expressions, Li Zhixuan smiled and explained, "Don't be surprised. I don't have any other sources of information at the moment. The reason I received this news is because Huang Zaijun and Park Dafan conspired to do this in Yuner's sister's cafe."

Oh!
"What I want to say is that the reason I didn't inform you about this matter right away so that you could prepare was because I wanted to take this opportunity to test your work ability.

I'm very satisfied with your performance today. Who was the first to notice that something was wrong with Park Dae-fan?"

Hearing this, the three team leaders looked at each other. The team leader who was in the car just now said quickly, "Report to the president, this is Jin Gaoen from our team. When Park Dafan just arrived downstairs of Miss Zhiyan's house this afternoon, he noticed something was wrong.

Because Park Dae-hwan didn't get out of the car after it parked, Kim Go-eun looked through a telescope and found that Park Dae-hwan was fiddling with his camera in the car. So Kim Go-eun suspected that he was trying to secretly take pictures of Miss Ji-yeon, so we kept an eye on him.

"What is Kim Go-eun's current position?"

“Just an ordinary employee.”

Although he is called an ordinary employee, he may be a bodyguard for Li Zhixuan. Even if he is an ordinary employee, his treatment is much higher than that of a real ordinary employee.

Li Zhixuan thought for a moment and said, "Jin Gaoen will be promoted to deputy team leader. This month's salary and benefits will be doubled. In addition, your team leader will receive a bonus of one million, and the remaining team members will each receive a bonus of 500,000. Your two teams will each receive a bonus of 100,000. This will be commended to the entire company."

“Thank you, President!”

One hundred thousand South Korean won was only a little over five hundred Chinese yuan. So, although the other two team leaders were happy, they weren't excited and were even a little jealous.

The team leader of Kim Go-eun's group was really excited. The one million bonus was enough to go to the second floor!

In order to be able to go up to the second floor more often, I have to work harder in the future!

After dealing with things here, Li Zhixuan returned to a tent by the Han River.

Park Ji-yeon had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Li Zhixuan coming back, she immediately asked, "Is it done?"

"Ah."

"Just let him go?"

"He's been frightened to death. That's enough. He didn't commit a capital crime. Keep him. Maybe he'll be useful in the future."

"What about Hwang Jae-gyun?"

"After this exposure, he will be severely punished even if he retires. That's it."

"So kind? You, the chaebol young master, are nothing like you are in the movies."

"What's the movie like?"

"Killing is a trivial matter, but the enemy must be annihilated without mercy."

"Enemy? Is he worthy?"

With a sneer, Li Zhixuan lay down on the inflatable mattress and stared at the ceiling of the tent in a daze.

Seeing this, Park Ji-yeon came over and touched Li Zhixuan's face, and asked curiously: "Oppa, what's wrong with you?"

"Just now I suddenly realized that I seem to have the power to decide life and death with a single word. If I gave the order, those bodyguards would really dare to shoot Park Dae-hwan. And all Park Dae-hwan could do was kneel down and beg for mercy."

"Uh..." Park Ji-yeon blinked. She couldn't guess what Li Zhixuan wanted to say, so she asked, "So?"

"I don't want to become Park Dafan one day, do you understand?"
