Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 593 Hey, who is this Zhimin you just mentioned?

Zheng Yuanlong was startled.

He had been calmly waiting for Mingyan to come down, but to his surprise, the guy brought a girl with him into the car.

Are you kidding me? Can you really pick up girls so openly while on a gig?

“Brother Yuanlong, you and Zhimin have met before.”

Mingyan introduced Liu Zhimin before Zheng Yuanlong could speak, to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Ah, hello." Zheng Yuanlong had indeed met the girl in Busan before, but they hadn't exchanged many words then.

Mingyan continued, "Zhimin is curious about what it's like for celebrities to work, so she's coming with us today."

"Wonryong oppa, hello, I'm Yoo Jimin." The girl was very polite: "I hope I haven't caused you any trouble."

"No, no, haha."

What Jung Won-ryong wanted to say next was cut off by Yoo Jimin's oppa.

The young girl seemed very refined, and her reasons were quite convincing, so he really had no excuse to continue opposing her.

Mingyan and Liu Zhimin exchanged a glance; it seemed the first hurdle had been overcome.

"Zhimin-xi, don't you have class today?" Zheng Yuanlong started the car, but he still clearly felt something was off.

“Wonryong oppa, I’m already twenty years old this year.”

"Oh I got it."

Mingyan casually asked, "Zhimin, aren't you nineteen?"

"Oppa, they don't count age in Korea. I'm already twenty years old." Yoo Jimin corrected Mingyan's thinking, and also reminded him so that he wouldn't always treat her like a child.

Mingyan nodded: "I almost forgot, nowadays everyone basically uses the traditional Chinese age system (虚岁)."

He was fine with his peers, but when facing younger generations, he always felt it wasn't right that he had inexplicably grown a year older without having lived that many years.

Zheng Yuanlong secretly observed the interaction between the two people behind him through the rearview mirror, his mind racing.

He believed that Liu Zhimin was Mingyan's friend, but the girl was also an adult who had turned twenty.

There's a lot of room for maneuver here.

The car first took the two of them to the beauty salon.

Liu Zhimin looked around curiously. It was said that celebrities would come to places like this to get their makeup and hair done after their debut. Maybe she would have the opportunity to enjoy similar treatment in the future.

"Hey, what's your relationship with that girl?" Zheng Yuanlong leaned closer to Mingyan and asked in a low voice.

As his agent, he had to get to the bottom of things.

He's good at everything except when it comes to relationships with women.

The man found Zheng Yuanlong's eccentric behavior somewhat amusing: "Brother Yuanlong, didn't I just say that Zhimin is my friend?"

"Don't give me that. If we were just friends, would you have brought him along?"

It must be said that Zheng Yuanlong's choice of entry point was quite accurate.

“Jimin and I have a very good relationship.” Mingyan patiently explained to his manager, “Do you remember when I was preparing for ‘Fight for My Way,’ I practiced Taekwondo for a while?”

"remember."

"Zhimin was my teacher back then. Don't let her young age fool you, she was already a black belt."

All things considered, Mingyan and Liu Zhimin have known each other for quite some time.

“This child ran all the way from Seoul to Busan to see you last time, and now he’s following you around on your schedule…” Zheng Yuanlong dragged out the word, but the meaning behind his words was already quite clear.

It's not normal; it's 13 out of 10 abnormal.

Mingyan laughed and said, "Brother Yuanlong, I forgot to tell you, Zhimin and Minzheng are also good friends."

"good friend?"

"They are both trainees at SM Entertainment."

He had to bring up his niece, otherwise Zheng Yuanlong would keep asking questions until he stopped.

"Really?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

“Xiaoyan, you’re dating Nayeon now.” Zheng Yuanlong said earnestly, “You broke up with Zhiyuan before, if you’re still messing around now, I can’t help you.” Mingyan was very unhappy: “Brother Yuanlong, that’s not right. When have I ever messed around?”

He was always well-behaved while he had a girlfriend, and his "breakup" with Kim Ji-won wasn't due to anything else.

Of course, this mainly refers to messing around; serious messing around doesn't count.

"Anyway, that's the gist of it. You don't know how many people are watching you right now." Zheng Yuanlong pointed to the sky.

Ming Yan is currently enjoying great popularity, with eight or nine endorsements on his plate.

If his business collapses, his market niche will be divided up by others, and that's a pretty big piece of the pie.

Mingyan nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Yuanlong, I know what I'm doing."

"It's good to know."

Zheng Yuanlong has fulfilled his duties as a manager, saying everything he needed to say. The rest is up to Mingyan to decide.

The man shook his head and smiled. He hadn't expected this guy to think so much. Having an agent like this by his side was indeed a relief.

"Oppa, were you guys talking about me just now?" Yoo Jimin adjusted her glasses, looking slightly nervous, wondering if she had caused Mingyan any trouble.

"Ah."

"Then I..."

"Brother Yuanlong thinks you're too beautiful and told me to be careful not to fall for you."

While Mingyan's words contained an element of humor, the gist of it is that they really meant it.

He has other female staff members around him, but Zheng Yuanlong never thinks too much about it. After all, the prerequisite for sparks to fly is good looks.

The girl pursed her lips: "So what did you say?"

“I said, you and Minjung are friends, but we are from different generations.”

"But I call you oppa!" Yoo Jimin argued in her haste, without thinking.

"If that's the case, you should be Minjung's elder, haha."

"I……"

Mingyan didn't even get to hear what the girl was saying before the stylist called him over; today wasn't a day for fun.

Liu Zhimin watched the man's retreating figure, stomped her foot, and followed him.

Lim Na-yeon: Aren't I the most readily available and powerful reason?

While Mingyan was getting his makeup done, he was idly thinking about the appointment ceremony that was about to take place when suddenly a pair of hands appeared and covered his eyes.

"Zhimin, stop fooling around." The man thought it was Liu Zhimin's prank.

Who is Zhimin?

"Baoying Nuna?"

Mingyan recognized Park Bo-young's voice immediately; he and this woman did indeed work at the same beauty salon.

Since their one-night stand, the two have met a few times, but they have always tacitly avoided mentioning that kind of relationship.

Park Bo-young's expression was a half-smile: "I didn't expect to run into you by such a coincidence."

"I'm going to attend the Ministry of Environment's appointment ceremony later, what about you?" Mingyan stood up and greeted the woman.

Putting aside their complicated relationship, the two can be considered good friends.

“I have an event to attend.” Park Bo-young punched the man’s chest. “Hey, how come you’re always in such good shape? You haven’t been filming lately, have you?”

Mingyan smiled and said, "No, I was even thinking that we could work together sometime."

Park Bo-young is a talented actress and a great collaborator.

“Then ask Ms. Kim Eun-sook to write a script, and I’ll definitely act in it.”

"Okay, I'll ask the teacher when I get back."

Kim Eun-sook's works are a guarantee of both quality and popularity, making her quite authoritative in the television drama field.

"Hey, who is this Jimin you just mentioned?" Park Bo-young winked mischievously, looking at Ming-yan with a gossipy expression.

"Hello, Park Bo-young, I am Yoo Jimin."
