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

"It wasn't Hyomin-unnie who told us, it was my dad who told us."

"Your father?"

After hearing Li Caiyan's explanation, Li Zhixuan and Park Jiyeon looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Then, Li Zhixuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Doctor Li is your father?"

"Yes."

"Is it true?"

Li Zhixuan just thought that Dr. Li and sister Li Cailing both had the surname Li and their ages matched, so he guessed that they were father and daughter.

But even if he guessed right, Li Zhixuan was still surprised that they were really father and daughter. This was mainly because the Li Cailing sisters looked so different from Dr. Li.

How did a father with a big, round face give birth to two daughters with foxy faces? How beautiful must their mother be? It's a real thought!

"Don't they say girls take after their fathers? How come you two don't look anything like your father?"

Li Cailing and her sister have heard this question many times since they were young, so they were not surprised at all. They even thought that Li Zhixuan would ask this question before they came.

Immediately, Li Caiyan politely replied, "We two sisters look like our mother."

"Oh." Li Zhixuan and Park Ji-yeon nodded in understanding. Then, Park Ji-yeon greeted the two sisters with a smile and said, "Come on, take a seat wherever you want."

The two sisters then hurried to the bedside and placed a bouquet of flowers, a fruit basket, and a box of Korean ginseng on the bedside table. Then they politely bowed to Park Ji-yeon together, "Ji-yeon senior (unnie), I wish you a speedy recovery."

It was the first time that Lee Chae-yeon met Park Ji-yeon. The two could barely be considered as senior and junior in a relationship, so she could only call Park Ji-yeon "Ji-yeon senior."

But Li Cailing played with Tara for a whole day yesterday, and after getting Tara's permission, she can call Liuniuer "Ouni".

Now, the two sisters came to the hospital to see Park Ji-yeon. How could Park Ji-yeon feel embarrassed to act like a senior? So she said to Lee Chae-yeon, "I'm a few years older than you. Just call me unnie. Same with Chae-yeon. Thank you for coming to see me today."

Upon hearing this, Li Caiyan's face lit up and she quickly said, "You're welcome, Jiyeon-unni. We sisters both love Tara and hope you get well soon."

"Yeah, thank you for your blessings."

Park Ji-yeon was really happy that someone came to visit her. But it wasn't that no one wanted to visit her. There were more than a dozen people who knew she was sick, all of them were from the harem.

These people wanted to come and see her, but Li Zhixuan was here with her now. These people in the harem were worried that if they came to visit Park Ji-yeon at this time, they would be regarded as light bulbs, or even misunderstood as coming to compete for favor.

So no one dared to come.

Li Zhixuan was watching Li Caiyan and Park Jiyeon chatting, and suddenly he noticed two things.

First, Li Cailing was very quiet today. She had only been in the room for a while and only said, "Jiyeon-unnie, I wish you a speedy recovery."

Second, the gifts they brought seemed quite valuable.

Thinking of this, Li Zhixuan reached out and took the box of exquisitely packaged Korean ginseng, looked at it carefully, and then frowned.

Seeing this, Li Caiyan thought that her sister had bought fake goods. Li Zhixuan saw through it, so she was a little angry. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and she didn't want to chat with Park Ji-yeon anymore.

On this side, Park Ji-yeon was also curious about what Li Zhixuan was looking at.

"Oppa, is this thing very valuable?"

Li Zhixuan didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the two sisters and asked, "Where's the price tag on this thing? How much is it?"

Asking the price? Is it really fake?
Sending fake goods to Park Ji-yeon! Li Zhixuan was so angry that he would kick the two sisters out of the competition.
Thinking of this, Li Caiyan's heart was in her throat. She hurriedly bowed to Li Zhixuan and asked cautiously, "President Li, I... did we buy fake goods?"

Fake?

Li Cailing was also surprised, while Park Ji-yeon thought to herself: Cailing is so smart, and her sister doesn't look stupid either. Surely they wouldn't buy fake goods to fool me? Were these two sisters being ripped off?
Seeing the Li sisters' faces turning pale with nervousness, Li Zhixuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not an expert in this field. How can I tell whether it's real or fake? I just saw that the packaging of this thing is quite high-end, not cheap. So I thought I would ask you the price."

Upon hearing this, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief. They also guessed that Li Zhixuan was worried about them wasting money, so Li Caiyan quickly explained, "I bought this from the supermarket, so there's no price tag, and it's not expensive."

“How much is not expensive?”

"Uh...I forgot. It wasn't much anyway."

Li Caiyan couldn't think of what price to make up, so she made up this lie.

Could Li Zhixuan not see it? Seeing that Li Caiyan was not going to tell the truth, Li Zhixuan looked at Li Cailing.

Seeing this, a trace of panic flashed across the little fox's face, and he immediately lowered his head.

Li Zhixuan smiled: "Li Cailing, I remember you were chattering a lot yesterday, why are you silent today?"

Hearing this question, Li Cai looked at her sister cautiously.

Li Caiyan was panicked by her sister's gaze, thinking: "Why is Cailing looking at me? Is she trying to tell me what I said about Li Zhixuan? Wouldn't that make me dead?"

Seeing the panic in his sister's eyes, the little fox was secretly proud of himself: "Huh! Are you scared? I let you teach me a lesson, and you even threatened me! I'll scare you to death!"

On the surface, the little fox continued to pretend to be nervous and said, "Yesterday there were many people, so I was relaxed. Today there are few people, so I am nervous."

"Huh? Are you relaxed when there are a lot of people around? Are you nervous when there are few people around?"

Not to mention Li Zhixuan and Park Ji-yeon, even her biological sister Li Caiyan couldn't understand the meaning of Li Cailing's words.

Li Zhixuan frowned and said, "Who are you afraid of? I didn't see you afraid of me yesterday, but you're suddenly afraid of me today?"

"Yesterday there were so many people around, and your attention wasn't on me, so of course I had nothing to be afraid of. But now there are only four of us in this room. Even if you don't pay attention to me, you can still clearly hear and see everything I say and do. How can I not be nervous?"

What he said seemed to make sense, but Li Zhixuan still felt something was wrong, because it was not the first time Li Cailing had seen him.

When they first met officially on the set of "Kim's Secretary", he, Park Min-young, Shin Yu-na, and Lee Chae-ryung sat together, and Lee Chae-ryung was not so nervous that she dared not speak.

Yesterday at Everland, when Li Zhixuan first met Li Cailing and Shin Yuna, the three of them were talking together. Li Cailing spoke more than Shin Yuna and was more proactive.

Is she nervous today?

Is there something wrong with this little fox?

If you have any specific questions, let’s talk about it later.

Immediately, Li Zhixuan scowled at Li Cailing and asked sternly, "Now I tell you to answer me seriously and not lie to me. How much is this box of Korean ginseng?"

The little fox seemed frightened and quickly bowed and answered truthfully: "Five million and two hundred thousand." "So expensive?! I can't accept it!"

Park Ji-yeon was shocked. The average annual income for a South Korean working-class person these days is around 30 million. 5.2 million is almost two months' salary for the average person.

Li Zhixuan didn't directly ask the two sisters to take back the gifts, but he did look very dissatisfied.

"Do you two have any income now?"

"No." The two sisters shook their heads nervously.

"No? So it was your parents' money?"

"Uh……"

"You two spendthrift daughters! Is it ok to use your parents' money to do favors?"

Seeing that Li Zhixuan was really angry, Li Caiyan hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, President Li. We were wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Li Cailing looked at her sister with dissatisfaction. "Dad gave me the credit card, and he was the one who asked me to buy the things. What did we do wrong?"

At this point, she looked at Li Zhixuan again, with a pair of fox faces, and said angrily: "It is obviously you, President Li, who didn't understand the situation and wrongly accused us of wasting money. How can it be our fault?

Also, these things are for Jiyeon, not for you. Aren’t you being a bit nosy? "

"Huh?" Li Zhixuan was stunned.

I knew there was something wrong with this little fox. Just now he said he was nervous and afraid of me. Now he's directly confronting me. How can he be afraid of me?
Here, Li Caiyan was almost scared to death by her brave sister. She quickly covered her mouth, then bowed deeply to Li Zhixuan and replied, "I'm sorry, President Li, Cailing was rude and talked back to you. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Pfft! Hahaha!"

After Li Caiyan finished speaking, Li Cailing and Li Zhixuan had not yet responded, but Park Jiyeon on the hospital bed couldn't help laughing.

The three of them were stunned by Park Ji-yeon's laughter. Li Zhixuan looked confused: "What are you laughing at? Is there something behind what Cai Yan said?"

Park Ji-yeon covered her mouth, smiled, and explained: "It's nothing, nothing, I just thought of something happy. You guys chat, don't bother me."

What else is there to talk about?

Li Zhixuan gave Li Cailing a strange look, then nodded and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense. We will accept this gift then."

"Yeah! Thank you, President Li!"

After accepting a gift from someone, you still want to be thanked. Otherwise, this person wants to be in a higher position.

Li Zhixuan felt a little emotional, and then said to the sisters encouragingly: "You two are quite strong. Train hard and prepare for the semi-finals. I hope to see you two sisters on the stage of the finals. Don't let me down, okay?"

Hearing this, the two sisters were a little excited and quickly said, "Yes! We promise to work hard and not let you down!"

After saying that, Li Cailing was stunned, then looked at Li Zhixuan, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Are you worried that I'll secretly trip you up because you just confronted me?"

Li Cailing shook her head and said seriously, "You are not that kind of person, so I am not worried."

Li Zhixuan was happy to hear this flattery and asked with a smile, "So what did you want to say just now?"

Li Cailing organized her words and then expressed her worries: "There are two types of people who participate in the audition of "Hi! Girl". One type is pure amateurs like me, my sister, and Yuna.

There are also former debuted idols like Eunbi, or former or current trainees.

The former trains all by themselves, so how can they possibly compete with players like Eunbi who have or have had professional teachers? Isn't this too unfair?"

Li Caiyan was also worried about this problem, but she didn't dare to ask. She was just a small contestant, who could she dare to ask?
Now that her sister asked the president directly, Li Caiyan admired her sister's courage, but was also worried that her sister might really have some feelings for Li Zhixuan, and at the same time hoped that Li Zhixuan could give an answer.

Li Zhixuan was indeed a little hesitant.

"Ordinarily, some things can only be told to you after you reach the finals. But I heard from them that you two sisters are both quite talented and should both make it to the finals. So, I'll tell you then.

Before the finals begin, all semi-final winners will be gathered in one place, living and training together for three months. During these three months, you will all receive guidance from professional teachers. Now you don't have to worry anymore, right?

"Yeah. Thank you, President!"

The Li sisters were relieved to learn that they would have three months of professional coaching before the competition. Three months is quite a long time; some idols' trainee periods are even shorter.

"Of course, compared to amateurs like you, Enfei and the others definitely have an innate advantage. After all, it seems that there will be at least sixteen winners in the finals, so you two still have a great chance of winning."

There are at least sixteen places, which means that even if the eight people including Kwon Eun-bi get the debut spots, there will still be half of the places left for others.

Now the two sisters feel that their chances of debuting are even greater!
"Thank you, President!"

"You're welcome. Just keep it a secret and don't leak these two pieces of information."

"Don't worry, it's strictly confidential!"

The two sisters made a serious promise and then prepared to leave so as not to disturb Park Ji-yeon's rest.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing the two sisters were about to leave, Li Zhixuan quickly called them and then picked up the box of Korean ginseng and handed it to them.

Neither of the two sisters took it. Li Cailing turned into an angry little fox: "Didn't you just say you accepted it? What do you mean now?"

"I've accepted the food, but I don't know how to eat it. Your father asked you to buy it, and he's a doctor, so he should know how to eat it, right? Should I boil it in water and drink it? Or something else?"
Ji-yeon is a patient. What if she takes the wrong medicine and her condition worsens? So please prepare it and send it to me.

By the way, you can also chat with Jiyeon. Because sometimes I have to be busy with work and can't be with Jiyeon all the time."

Hearing this, Li Cailing immediately nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, just leave these two things to us! We'll go find our dad and ask him how to eat this."

After agreeing, the two sisters left. Li Zhixuan turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Park Ji-yeon and asked, "What were you laughing at just now?"

"Just now Cai Yan said that Cai Ling talked back to you. Haha!"

(_) "What's going on in your head? Want to be talked back to?"

"You don't even let the patients go? You beast!"
