Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 110 Sherry?

Watching this farce unfold, Jiang Che silently gave Yin Zhiyuan a thumbs up for his thought process, then realized—it's none of my business now.

While the three were still debating the toilet and the pervert, he silently took two steps back, suddenly turned around, and with a whoosh, darted away, leaving only a lighthearted remark:

"Oppas! I'm going now! See you at the hotel!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already blended into the bustling crowd at the airport.

"Hey! Yoona! Bring Oppa along!" Kang Ho-dong's voice came from behind, but Kang Cheol ignored him completely.

After separating from the main group, she quickly prepared to find the airport bus. People in the airport hall were already pointing and whispering about her, and as she walked out of the hall, even more eyes were cast her way.

Wow! It's Girls' Generation's Yoona!

"She's so beautiful in person!"

"Do you think she'll give me her autograph if I ask her for it?"

Jiang Che originally wanted to pass through quickly and discreetly, but then he thought, why not create a fan-loving persona for Yoona?

So he stopped, flashed a bright smile at the young girls, and greeted them in Chinese:
"Hi everyone~ It might be inconvenient for you to sign autographs, how about we take a picture together?"

Fans immediately swarmed around in delight, and although there weren't many people, the atmosphere instantly became lively. Jiang Che skillfully posed for several group photos, her sweet smile and friendly attitude eliciting quiet cheers from the fans.

"Yoona unnie, fighting!"

"We will support the show!"

"Sister, you are so beautiful!"

"Thank you everyone~ Please continue to support Girls' Generation!" Jiang Che said goodbye again after completing her task.
Following the signs, he successfully boarded the airport bus to the city center and arrived comfortably there.

Then, thanks to her fluent Chinese, she quickly found the hotel designated by the production team and walked into the lobby in a good mood.

He was about to go to the front desk to ask the program crew for their room number when he subconsciously felt a gaze fall on him.

He turned his head and saw a person sitting on a sofa in the lounge area in the corner of the lobby. The person was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, completely covered up, and judging from their figure, they were a girl.

At first he didn't pay attention, but when the other person saw him looking over, he hesitated for a moment and then waved at him.
Jiang Che: "???"

What's going on? Is it someone Yoona knows? But this is in Beijing, not on the Peninsula. Could it be someone Yoona met while filming Zhao Zilong?
Hidden cameras? Believe it or not, PD Na is actually capable of doing something like that.

He's having a brainstorming session right now.
The figure in the corner, bundled up tightly, hesitated before standing up and walking towards him. Only after standing up did he realize the other person was about his height. As the distance closed, the other person slowly raised their hand and removed their mask.

A pure yet slightly weary face appeared, her skin as white as snow, her cat-like eyes bright and soft. Upon seeing an acquaintance, she flashed an infectious smile and softly said:
"Yoona...unnie?"

Jiang Che almost blurted out "Damn it!" in his mind.

Shirley?!
What's she doing here? In Beijing?

Despite her inner turmoil, she quickly switched to Yoona mode, a delighted smile blooming on her face:
"Shirley? Wow, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, he naturally went to meet them, while simultaneously gesturing with his eyes for the VJ filming to keep a slight distance.

"It's Jiyeon! She had a concert in Beijing before, and she invited me to come and hang out too." She paused, lowering her voice slightly.

"We were about to head back, but then Xiujing suddenly showed up and said she wanted to keep me company, so... we've been staying until now." Jiang Che suddenly realized:

"Where are Krystal and Jiyeon? Why are you here alone?"

"Both of them happen to have work today and can't keep me company. I don't want to be alone in the room, and I don't know where to go, so..."

Although she hadn't finished speaking, Jiang Che glanced at the corner where she had just sat and immediately understood her meaning. A thought struck him, and he said:

"Sherry, would you like to come on the show with me today?"

Shirley paused slightly, a hint of hesitation and worry flashing in her eyes, and asked softly:

"Unnie, is it okay for me... to participate in the show?"

Jiang Che understood immediately. This girl must have left the group around this time, and her reputation and public image had plummeted. She was probably afraid that his appearance would have some negative impact on Yoona or the show.

"It's alright, don't worry," Jiang Che waved his hand, his tone relaxed.
"What's the big deal? Aside from me being the only good person on this show, everyone else has problems. Don't worry."

As he spoke, he instinctively reached out, intending to pat her head encouragingly, just like he would pat Taeyeon or Sunny's head.

But as soon as he reached out, he realized something was wrong—this girl was tall, and touching her head wasn't as easy as touching Taeyeon or Sunny! A miscalculation!

But seeing that Shirley still looked worried, he reached out and gently patted her head, saying earnestly:
“Shirley, you don’t live to meet other people’s expectations. You live to do what you really want to do. So ignore all the noise outside. Just tell me if you want to or not, and leave the rest to me.”

Sulli was a little confused by his sudden head pat and words, staring blankly at the "Yoona unnie" in front of her who seemed a little different.

She felt the warmth coming from above her head, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded gently.

"Alright!" Jiang Che clapped his hands:
"Leave the rest to me!"

He then turned to the VJ beside him and told him to contact the PD immediately, saying it was important. The VJ, who understood the situation, quickly made the call.

When the phone was handed over, PD Luo's voice could already be heard through the receiver:
"Yoona-ssi, have you arrived at the hotel? What's wrong?"

"Hey PD-nim, I happened to run into a friend at the hotel. She's also in Beijing and is really interested in our show, so I was wondering if it would be possible for her to be a special guest on this episode?"

PD Luo paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting this:
"Friend? Who is it? Is it also a celebrity?"

"Inside is Sherry from F(x)."

There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.

Several seconds passed before PD Luo's voice came through, clearly showing his difficulty and hesitation:

"Yoona-ssi... well... it's not that I'm being inflexible, but you know about Sulli-ssi's situation. This is still a new program, and we're a little... um... a little hesitant to take the risk." He spoke tactfully, but his refusal was clear.

Jiang Che had expected this to happen. He clicked his tongue. Well, he had to go back to his old ways.
“PD nim, you’re wrong about that. Risk? We already have Lee Soo-geun oppa, the gambler, on our show. What risk could be greater than that? His story is a real negative news story, isn’t it?”

Compared to this, what's so bad about Sulli? Did she do anything heinous? No, right? Are you saying you're discriminating against women?
Besides, she's only here for one episode, not as a regular. And isn't the theme of our show about self-cultivation and transformation? There are plenty of people with problems, one more won't make a difference."

PD Na on the other end of the phone was a bit stunned by this barrage of words, especially when Kang Cheol brought up Lee Soo-geun for comparison.
They even slapped on the label of "discriminating against women," which was absolutely scathing—yet every word made sense and impossible to refute.

"Aigoo... Yoona-ssi, you really are... that mouth of yours... you should stay away from Yoo Jae-suk in the future..."
