Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 385 The Butterfly Effect (Please subscribe and vote!)

Chen Yan answered the phone, and Kim Tae-yeon's slightly anxious voice came through:
"Xiaoyan, something terrible has happened! Jessica went to Hong Kong with that guy Kwon Ning-yi!"

"what?"

“I just received a message from my agent that Jessica’s schedule says she’s going to Hong Kong Island to attend a cocktail party hosted by Emperor Entertainment tonight.”

On the other end of the phone, Kim Tae-yeon stood in the corner of the TV station's waiting room, speaking softly but urgently to Chen Yan about the information she had received.

What made her feel somewhat anxious was that, in her previous life, Jessica Jung had never been to Hong Kong Island with Kwon Ning-il during this period.

So this is another butterfly effect, and Kim Tae-yeon is somewhat uneasy about the unknown changes that this butterfly effect may bring.

I and Yoona clearly didn't touch Jessica Jung's storyline; everything is proceeding according to the events of our previous life.

If it were just the two of them asking Chen Yan to investigate Quan Ningyi's background, such a big change shouldn't have happened.

But no matter what, if something unexpected happens, we have to find a way to deal with it.

"Yoona and I both think it was Kwon Ning-il who did this. He has connections with Emperor Entertainment Group, so he got Emperor Entertainment Group to send a formal invitation to the company for the event. We just don't know what his purpose was in doing this."

Chen Yan understood why Kim Tae-yeon had called him: "Don't worry, noona, I'll buy the next flight right now and head over there."

"Okay, Yoona and I both have schedules to attend to and can't get away, so you'll have to go, Xiaoyan."

Kim Tae-yeon called her man to say this.

Chen Yan knew the whole story; her family had connections in Hong Kong. Since she and Lin Yun'er couldn't go, Chen Yan was the most suitable person to go.

"Okay, I'll buy the plane tickets now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan immediately checked the flights to Hong Kong Island and selected the one that would depart in two hours.

Then he quickly saved the file, shut down the computer, got up, packed his things, and headed to Chief Kim's office.

He asked for two days off from Director Kim, citing a family emergency. He left the company and drove to Incheon Airport.

After checking in, Chen Yan sat in the VIP waiting room and started contacting his family's connections in Hong Kong Island to find out the location of the Emperor Entertainment Group's cocktail party that evening.

Find a number in your contacts and dial it.

A few seconds later, the call was connected, and a man's voice with a hint of sarcasm rang out: "What a rare guest! What brings you to call me, Xiao Yan?"

"Brother Six."

Chen Yan greeted the person on the other end of the phone, then got straight to the point: "There's something I'd like to ask Sixth Brother for help finding out."

Given their relationship, there's no need for them to exchange pleasantries before speaking.

A man's cheerful voice rang out: "Speak, what do you want me to find out?"

"There's a cocktail party at Emperor Entertainment tonight, and I'd like to ask you, Sixth Brother, to help me find out where it's being held."

Emperor Entertainment is one of the leading entertainment companies in Hong Kong, so it's quite easy for people in the same social class to find out this kind of information.

"Emperor Entertainment? Xiao Yan, weren't you on the peninsula? How did you get involved with them?"

"Someone I know ran into a little trouble. I'll tell you the details next time we meet, Sixth Brother. I'm about to board the plane."

"Okay, I understand. There's no need to wait until next time. Since you're coming to Hong Kong Island, I'll definitely do my best to be a good host. I'll pick you up later, and we can talk when we meet."

"Row."

"Okay, I'll go find out first. See you later."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan put down his phone, his brows furrowed slightly, and he tapped his fingers lightly on his knee, looking thoughtful.

Jessica Jung's sister's actions also caught him somewhat off guard.

A moment later, Chen Yan snapped out of his daze as the flight attendant reminded him to board and boarded the plane bound for Hong Kong Island.

About three and a half hours later, around 7 p.m., the plane landed smoothly at Hong Kong Island Airport.

As Chen Yan walked out of the VIP passage, he immediately spotted a man in a suit and tie with a smile on his face standing not far away.

Stepping out of the fence, Chen Yan greeted him with a smile, "Sixth Brother."

The man, known as Sixth Brother, put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulder and said, "It's been a while, Xiao Yan."

Chen Yan nodded: "It's been a while. The last time I saw Sixth Brother was during my senior year winter break."

"Yes."

Sixth Brother nodded, glanced at Chen Yan's face, and then punched him on the shoulder: "Haven't seen you in a while, you've gotten even more handsome."

The two chatted and reminisced as they walked, and after leaving the airport, they got into a waiting Rolls-Royce.

After the driver saw that the two were seated securely in the rearview mirror, he started the car and slowly drove away from the spot.

Sixth Brother reached out and opened the center console between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, took out an invitation, and handed it to Chen Yan.

"Here you go. The Emperor's reception tonight will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Central, Central. This is the invitation. The reception is fairly standard in scale, with no particularly big names, but there are a few well-known Hong Kong businessmen present."

Chen Yan reached out and took the invitation, smiling as he thanked him, "Thank you, Sixth Brother."

Sixth Brother waved his hand: "Hey, no need to be so polite, we're all brothers."

Chen Yan nodded with a smile and didn't continue with any more pleasantries.

Indeed, as Sixth Brother said, the two are, in a sense, like brothers.

Sixth Brother's real name is Wang Rong. He is two years older than Chen Yan. Sixth Brother is just a nickname given to him by close friends and family.

There was no common reason like being the sixth child in the family; he was the eldest son, and being called "Sixth Brother" was simply because he liked others to call him that.

The family are locals from Hong Kong Island. They started out as criminals, but after retiring from the criminal life, they mainly engaged in the financial business, while also doing some real estate business in mainland China.

The Wang family and the Chen family were old acquaintances; the two families had known each other even before Chen Yan was born.

The Wang family's real estate business was established in mainland China with the help of Chen Yan's father, and Chen Yan's father also provided some assistance during the Wang family's restructuring process.

Therefore, the two families have a very close relationship.

Wang Rong glanced at Chen Yan's clothes and smiled. "Let's change at the hotel first, and then we'll go to the party. It starts at eight o'clock. It's been a while since I've been to a party, so let's go and have some fun together."

"it is good."

Chen Yan nodded, naturally having no objection to his arrangement.

It's fine to dress casually for everyday life, but you have to dress more formally for a cocktail party.

Because you are not only representing yourself, but also your family to a certain extent, and you cannot bring shame to your family.

The car arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel more than half an hour later.

Chen Yan followed Wang Rong into the hotel and finally arrived at a room on the 10th floor, where a brand-new Armani black suit from the current season was already laid out on the bed.

"Please tidy up and change your clothes first. I'll wait for you in the next room."

"it is good."

The room door closed, and Chen Yan glanced at the time: 7:53.

There's no rush. Although the party starts at eight o'clock, it usually doesn't really begin until about twenty minutes after a large crowd arrives.

I turned around and went into the bathroom, took a quick shower and washed my hair, then dried it before leaving the bathroom.

He grabbed the black suit from the bed, changed into it, then went to the full-length mirror in the dressing room to tidy himself up before turning around to grab his phone and leaving the room.

After sending messages to Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah to report the situation and reassure them, Chen Yan walked to the door of the next room and knocked.

Two seconds later, the door opened, and Wang Rong exclaimed in surprise when he saw the young man in a suit standing in the doorway: "Wow, handsome."

It's no wonder he exclaimed in surprise; Chen Yan had a completely different style and temperament after changing into a suit.

Chen Yan was already very handsome, with a face that was both rugged and had the sunny, youthful charm that one would expect at his age.

At this moment, he changed into a more mature-style suit, but it did not clash with his youthful feeling, making him look out of place.

Instead, his bright, deep eyes and slightly heroic brow bone perfectly blend the conflicting qualities of youthfulness and maturity that comes with wearing a suit.

In short, it can be summed up in one word—attractive.

Looking at the young man's face, Wang Rong clicked his tongue twice and pointed at him with his index finger.

"From childhood to adulthood, I've envied your face countless times. If I had your face, I would have been sleeping my way through Hong Kong Island by now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan looked at Wang Rong's equally handsome appearance and couldn't help but smile, saying bluntly, "It sounds like you're not getting enough sleep, Sixth Brother."

He had some understanding of this sixth brother's private life.

"Hahahahaha"

When Chen Yan directly exposed him, Wang Rong didn't try to argue. He put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulder and walked towards the elevator.

"Come on, let's go to the party. With your outfit, you might even have a romantic encounter tonight."

The elevator went up to the 15th floor, which is the banquet hall where the Emperor holds receptions.

The reception has been going on for a while now, and there are already quite a few people walking around and talking in the banquet hall.

The two handed the invitation to the security guard at the door and then entered the banquet hall.

The arrival of the two naturally attracted the attention of some people inside.

When their gazes fell on Chen Yan, who was dressed in a sharp suit, some of the women's eyes lit up instantly, and they couldn't help but linger on him for a while longer.

Chen Yan ignored the stares from those around him, his eyes searching for a certain figure throughout the banquet hall.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the banquet hall, Kwon Ning-il, with a lewd grin on his long face, said to Jessica Jung, who was wearing a white evening gown beside him:
“Sika, there are quite a few well-known businessmen from Hong Kong coming to tonight’s party. I used a lot of my connections to get two invitations.”

Speaking of how much he had used up his connections, Quan Ningyi's lips twitched involuntarily, and the pain in his chrysanthemum returned faintly.

However, after glancing at Jessica Jung's low-cut dress and the glimpses of her fair and slender legs beneath the slit skirt, his eyes burned with desire.

As long as he can successfully hook up with Jessica Jung and gain both her and his money, then this little bit of effort is nothing.

The reason he suddenly brought Jessica Jung to Hong Kong Island for this party was because he noticed that Jessica Jung had been somewhat lax in her efforts to establish the brand, and he was afraid that she would suddenly quit.

How could he continue his plan and gain both people and money in that case?

Upon learning that Emperor Entertainment was having a cocktail party today, Kwon Ning-il thought about it for a moment, gritted his teeth, and spent a lot of money to get two invitations.

They then extended a business invitation to SM Entertainment in the name of Emperor Entertainment, bringing Jessica Jung from the Peninsula.

The purpose was to demonstrate his powerful connections in Hong Kong to Jessica Jung and coax her into continuing with her fashion brand.

"Jessica, try to get to know as many people as possible later. They will be very helpful for our future brand business development in Hong Kong."

Beside her, Jessica Jung glanced at the people moving around, her beautiful eyes sparkling. After hearing Kwon Ning-il's words, she smiled and nodded, sincerely thanking him:

"Okay, I will, thank you Ningyi oppa."

She never imagined that Kwon Ning-il's connections in Hong Kong were much stronger than she had thought.

"You're welcome, we're partners."

Kwon Ning smiled and replied, his narrowed eyes glancing again at Jessica Jung's fair chest.

If everything goes smoothly this time, perhaps he can use some tricks to win over this ice princess ahead of time.

With a lewd smile in his eyes, Kwon Ning asked a passing waiter for two glasses of champagne and handed one to Jessica Jung.

"Let's go, Jessica, I'll introduce you to the people from Emperor Entertainment first."

"it is good."

Just as the two were about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Nuna."
