Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

Chapter 44 A pushover?

News Highlights.

It's like bread dipped in honey.

Even the slightest leak will attract countless ants to crawl onto it.

What Zheng Hante said was the most honest and straightforward truth.

He even felt that if Lee Ji-eun were to be seen by someone later...

You might even be asked a question like, "What do you think of Park Jiyeon trending on social media this time?"

Without him.

The two just have a good relationship within the industry.

Besides, Ham Eun-jung is a teammate in the group.

Therefore, when Lee Ji-eun heard Jung Han-te's statement, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she took out her phone again and dialed Park Ji-yeon's number.

"Should I hang up first?"

Hearing the intermittent breathing on the other end, Lee Ji-eun turned her head slightly and asked in a low voice.

Then, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

There's been a misunderstanding.

"That's perfect, I'll come find you now!"

"It's alright, I don't have any other plans for tonight anyway."

"By the way, tell Consultant Jiang not to leave in a hurry, and to wait for me for a few minutes."

After chatting for a while, Lee Ji-eun learned that Park Ji-yeon was still in the practice room in Yongsan District, and immediately decided to go find her.

Some things are easier to say face-to-face.

But after hanging up the phone, she looked at Zheng Hante and asked him to buy a few more cups of coffee.

Zheng Hante didn't waste any words, nodded and got out of the car.

A few minutes later, they returned with four cups of coffee and drove to Longshan District.

During the journey, Lee Ji-eun looked at the increasingly congested traffic outside the car window, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

The artist is filming in another location.

However, the agent appeared in Seoul.

Although it's only been a short time since night fell, it's still early.

But as I just said, there are problems no matter how you look at it.

"Perhaps it's related to today's trending topics?"

"Did MBK Entertainment find out that cool guy wanted to poach people, so they used this method to give him a warning?"

"I'll have to tell Jiyeon later not to just focus on the present."

"If we get tripped up again, that would be a huge problem."

...

"Park Ji-hye-ssi? Annyeonghaseyo..."

More than forty minutes later.

In a private practice room not far from Lee Ji-eun's home in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu.

Jung Han-te demonstrated the ability of a professional agent to judge character.

Even though Park Ji-hye is in charge of Blackpink's styling team, that is still a behind-the-scenes team.

But as soon as he entered, he recognized her at a glance.

So he called out instinctively, and then followed up with a greeting.

"Yes," Park Ji-hye paused, clearly not expecting to be recognized in this way, before politely replying, "Annyeonghaseyo..."

Park Ji-hye.

Upon hearing this name...

Lee Ji-eun also formed a corresponding impression in her mind.

Who can blame them when Blackpink has had so many standout looks this year?

He then greeted them as well and handed them coffee before it was his friend Park Jiyeon's turn, as well as Jiang Xingchen and the others' turn.

"Cool guy, thanks for helping me out that day!"

Cool guy?

Hearing her address to Jiang Xingchen, everyone present except Park Jiyeon blinked in confusion.

It's not that I don't understand what the title means, but I'm curious why she calls me that.

"Knowing gratitude..."

Zheng Hante whispered a reminder.

Excluding our previous brief encounter, this was only our second meeting.

That's a bit impolite.

"It's alright, it's just a form of address, and it's not like they're insulting me!" Jiang Xingchen waved her hand, glanced at Li Zhi'en with amusement, and then said.

"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it. I've been looking forward to 'Flower Bookmark 2' for a long time, and I don't want to delay our meeting because of something so trivial."

"Haha... I'll send you a signed copy later!"

"I want to sign."

"certainly."

On their second meeting, Jiang Xingchen and Li Zhi'en got along quite well.

In just a few words, we became familiar with each other.

Seeing their familiarity, Park Jiyeon raised an eyebrow and immediately asked a question.

"Ji-eun, what brings you here?"

"Well, something happened unexpectedly."

Lee Ji-eun nodded slightly, and when her gaze fell on Park Ji-hye, who was still tidying up her cosmetics, her tone paused slightly.

They are all smart people.

The meaning behind a few small gestures is easy to understand.

Park Ji-hye quickly packed her things into her makeup bag, then looked at Jiang Xingchen and said that she had some business to attend to at the company and would be leaving first.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to thank Lee Ji-eun again.

Click...

The door closed gently.

The faint sound of the lock clicking shut became somewhat noticeable at this moment.

"It's like this..."

Seeing that only a few of them remained, Zheng Hante quickly explained what he had seen.

Just now, in the coffee shop in Gangnam, he saw Ham Eun-jung's manager, Lee Hwa-soo, sitting and chatting with someone.

As for who the person on the other end was, I was so focused on getting the coffee and getting back to the car that I didn't get a good look at them.

"When I was halfway there, I remembered seeing news about Eun-jung around sunset. It said she was still filming at the comprehensive film and television city in South YZ City."

"What kind of artist works there while their manager goes back to the city to drink coffee?"

"Perhaps it's because of Hyomin unnie, and also because of your news, Jiyeon..."

Following Jung Hante's words, Lee Ji-eun voiced her guess, "I have a vague feeling that it has something to do with your company."

As soon as these words were spoken, the last remaining sound in the practice room disappeared.

Jiang Xingchen's previously relaxed brows furrowed again.

After listening to Zheng Hante's explanation, his first reaction was exactly what Li Zhi'en said at that moment.

I couldn't help but admire her; she truly lived up to her reputation as Lee Ji-eun.

I think a little more than others.

After all, Park Hyo-min caused quite a stir on the night of the Seoul Fashion Week finale.

However, MBK Entertainment has not said they will contact her.

Not to mention today.

A photo, a video.

It didn't take long for it to climb to the top of the trending topics list.

There was still no contact.

However, he was so focused on filming Park Ji-yeon that he didn't think about it for a moment.

Thinking of this, he smiled and looked up, stating frankly that his views were basically the same as Lee Ji-eun's.

"Are they taking advantage of Eun-jung because she hasn't made any moves?"

"I don't know if I can get in touch with Eun-jung unnie now."

Upon hearing that Ham Eun-jung might have been wronged, Park Ji-yeon immediately became unhappy and took out her phone to contact her to find out what was going on.

However, there is some uncertainty about whether we can get in touch.

Ham Eun-jung is filming a daily drama this time.

Time is very tight.

This point.

They're probably still busy.

I was also worried that calling her would affect her mood.

I'm caught in a dilemma.

The others understood her hesitation.

For a moment, it seemed that making the call was neither a good idea nor a bad idea.

Park Jiyeon turned her gaze to Jiang Xingchen.

The recent series of events has led her to trust him quite a bit.

Having no clue what to do at the moment, she subconsciously made a choice.
