Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

September.

Early autumn in Seoul.

Rainfall has been much less than in the previous period.

The sky was also a mesmerizing azure.

Seongdong District, Seongsudong.

Galleria Foret luxury apartments.

Sunlight streamed in unrestrainedly through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

The entire living room was bathed in light.

But the bright sunlight seemed to have no effect on the figure on the sofa.

Park Ji-yeon.

She lay on the pillow in her arms, her figure graceful.

There was an empty makgeolli bottle on the side.

After returning from Mapo District last night, she placed the "Artist Agency Intent Letter" and "Authorization Letter" that Jiang Xingchen had given her on the coffee table and looked at them carefully for a long time.

But if you let her choreograph to the beat, that's no problem.

this?

Don't make things difficult for students who aren't academically strong.

Finally, still not understanding, she took out a bottle of makgeolli and planned to have a small drink.

I drank too much without realizing it.

"Um..."

A few minutes later, the angle of the sunlight changed, and a ray of light refracted through the glass and fell on the face of the sleeping Park Ji-yeon.

Sensing the change in light, she unconsciously let out a soft hum.

Then, his body twisted a few times.

The plain-colored T-shirt, which was being worn as pajamas, was pulled up a little with the movement, revealing her slender waist.

In the distance, autumn seemed to be blooming with a hint of spring.

She stretched and sat up, still holding the pillow in her arms, and groggily sat on the sofa to recover her senses.

It took a while before I fully regained consciousness.

He glanced at the wine bottle on the ground and scratched his head.

But soon, my gaze fell upon the two documents still lying on the coffee table.

One of the copies had even been turned over, and her name, Park Ji-yeon, was on it.

He reached out and took it.

Stare at that signature.

A few seconds later, it was put back on the coffee table.

I got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She used cold water to refresh herself, looked up at herself in the mirror, and said with a smile, "Park Jiyeon, you're pretty crazy."

Crazy.

This is true.

Recently, many agencies have been using their connections with her to convey their intention to collaborate with her once her exclusive contract with MBK Entertainment expires.

The conditions offered are very generous, even just from the perspective of hearing them.

However, to what extent it can be implemented, or whether some of the conditions can be met, remains to be seen.

"Ji-yeon-ssi, you say you don't understand, but you actually know very well in your heart."

At this moment, the words Jiang Xingchen said when he handed her the 'script' last night came to mind.

indeed so.

She's no longer the little girl who just debuted.

Having experienced so much in the industry and witnessed so much of the coldness and warmth of human relationships, I clearly understand the weight of Jiang Xingchen's words.

Furthermore, considering the experiences of SeeYa and Davichi a few years ago, it is quite clear that Kim Kwang-soo was capable of doing what was written on that paper.

Simply signing the letter of intent provided by Jiang Xingchen is truly a bit crazy.

All of this stemmed from the sense of security that inexplicably arose in my heart at that time.

Or rather, feelings of attraction?

She didn't have a proper explanation for this.

Fortunately.

Something else happened to her last night that surprised her.

Even though the letter of intent had already been signed, Jiang Xingchen made her bring it back, even saying that her lawyer could see it and that she might change her mind.

It was this unexpected event that gave her some leeway.

"As long as you can meet my requirements, what does it matter if the money is a little less?"

After washing up, she said softly to herself in front of the mirror.

Then, he turned around and went into the room, and quickly changed his clothes and came out.

Denim shorts and a white T-shirt with the words "FUNK OR PUNK" printed on it.

After putting the papers in his bag, he casually put on a hat and a mask and went out.

On my way downstairs, I made a phone call to Lee Ji-eun.

After a few beeps, the call was connected.

"Ji-yeon, how did your chat go last night?"

"It's alright, but I need to ask Attorney Zhao Jiyu to help me review two documents."

Are you serious?

Lee Ji-eun's voice sounded much louder through the receiver, but it was quickly drowned out.

During our call last night, I already knew that the two of them had reached an agreement to cooperate and that I would provide several months of service through a work consultant.

Unexpectedly, it's fast-forwarded to the point where they need to find a lawyer?

"Stop talking, I also think this is a bit crazy."

"Then why..."

"But what he offered was something I couldn't refuse!"

"He threatened you?"

Something you can't refuse.

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun forgot that she was still in the dressing room and her voice immediately rose even higher.

"Anani...it's not what you think it is."

Park Jiyeon, realizing that she had misunderstood, quickly denied it.

How could she possibly have something like that in someone's hands?

With those words from her, Lee Ji-eun felt much more at ease.

I'm still a little curious, though.

"It's hard to explain in a few words. Let me meet with Attorney Zhao first, then I'll come find you."

Knowing that Lee Ji-eun was worried that she was being deceived, Park Ji-yeon felt that talking to her about these things on the phone at this moment would probably only deepen her suspicions when her gaze fell on the handbag.

So after a brief moment of thought, I decided to go find Lee Ji-eun later.

"Okay, then you absolutely must remember to come find me!"

Seeing that things had come to this point, Lee Ji-eun didn't ask any more questions. After giving a word of advice, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she called lawyer Zhao Jiyu to see if he was available.

Unsurprisingly, I was free.

After receiving the message, Park Ji-yeon started her car and drove out of the Galleria Foret apartment parking lot.

...

...

Yongsan-gu, Itaewon-dong.

Jiang Xingchen received a message from the court's business registration office.

The application to change Starlight Entertainment to EPOCH Entertainment has been approved.

He can go to the tax bureau to apply for a new business registration certificate, which is a business license.

Once this step was completed, EPOCH Entertainment was officially established.

However, because he received the message late, he didn't plan to go to Wangyuan Cave in the morning.

Anyway, once I get there, I'll just be spending time with the mining machines.

It's so boring.

So he decided to try out the "Beginner Cooking Skills Mastery" skill he had earned by helping Lee Ji-eun yesterday.

Let's see just how basic it is.

But when I bought the ingredients and started the actual test, I suddenly felt like I'd seen a ghost.

He only bought the ingredients for simple seaweed rice rolls.

Seaweed, carrots, cucumbers, pork floss, etc...

Strange things happened when he held the only Western-style kitchen knife in his hand.

He felt as if the knife in his hand was an extension of his arm.

When I started moving, I didn't feel awkward at all.

In just a few moments, carrots, cucumbers, and other vegetables were neatly broken down into uniform strips.

A few seconds later, a perfectly made seaweed rice roll was ready.

Cut it open with a knife, and a Mickey Mouse head is perfectly revealed.

The Mickey Mouse in front of him reminded him of a movie he had seen before, starring Yoo Hae-jin.

This supporting actor portrays an amnesiac killer who is taken in by the owner of a seaweed rice restaurant and transitions into a chef during that time.

The knife skills are amazing...

"Is this some kind of ghost?"

"Is this a beginner-level mastery of cooking skills?"

"System, you're a fucking genius!"

Jiang Xingchen's lips twitched slightly, then she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

Chew, chew...

Um...

The taste is also very good.

Amazing...

So he arranged the remaining Mickey Mouse figures on a beautiful plate, took a picture, and uploaded it to his Instagram account.
