Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

"Tch... I don't want to."

Park Jiyeon scoffed at Jiang Xingchen's claim of "paying off the debt with her body" and then looked away.

Jiang Xingchen, noticing her little gesture, laughed out loud.

"You're obviously getting the wrong idea. Someone as capable as me wouldn't even take a job for free..."

"You're clearly misleading people!"

"Is there?"

"Do you dare say no?"

"Uh...no!"

"snort..."

A brief hesitation gave Park Jiyeon a handle on Jiang Xingchen, and she let out a smug hum.

On second thought.

But then I felt something was wrong.

"Oh... what am I so happy about?"

"Park Jiyeon, what's going on in your head?!"

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If you don't have anything else to do this morning, let's go get some coffee," Jiang Xingchen said, noticing Park Jiyeon's changing expression and ignoring what she was thinking. He changed the subject, "I'll be waiting for Jung Kyujin-ssi."

"Jung Kyu-jin?"

"The driver I rented the car from these past two days should be coming back from Nanyangzhou to pick me up by now!"

"Is that so..."

Hearing him say that, Park Jiyeon knew what was going on. She blinked quickly twice and said, "Then get out of the car, I have an appointment!"

"Huh, so suddenly?"

"Otherwise, do you think I could have gotten up this early today?"

"That's true..." Jiang Xingchen paused for a moment, then said, "Beautiful women all need beauty sleep... I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he glanced at the rearview mirror, and after confirming that no one was around, he pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Looking around, I walked toward a coffee shop that I had just noted down.

When we passed the house we had just looked at, we stopped and looked at it for a while.

This large, blocky building, converted from a textile warehouse and later used as an exhibition hall, still suits his aesthetic tastes quite well.

To be fair, Park Jiyeon has pretty good taste.

and so.

As I was walking out after the tour,

He already had a preliminary idea.

As for staring at the photos for a long time in the car, it was simply to assess whether the site met future planning requirements.

The decision was made after careful consideration.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Park Jiyeon for money.

However, he didn't immediately contact the agent.

To avoid being taken advantage of.

Of course, this possibility is also unlikely.

After all, he was a guest introduced by Park Jiyeon, and he's become quite a prominent figure in the industry recently.

There's no need for intermediaries to offend them for petty gains.

After a brief pause, we continued forward.

But after taking a step, he seemed to remember something and turned back to look.

inside the car.

Park Jiyeon, who was gazing at his retreating figure amidst the "birdsong and fragrant flowers," suddenly shut her mouth.

A few seconds later, she saw Jiang Xingchen waving at her from afar, and realized that he couldn't hear her.

So, regardless of whether he could see it or not, he raised his hand and waved it twice.

A few seconds later.

He pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Quickly chased after him.

The sound of footsteps caught Jiang Xingchen's attention, and she turned around in surprise.

"Didn't you have an appointment?"

"It was canceled at the last minute." In response to his question, Park Jiyeon said naturally, "Have a cup of coffee first, and I'll go find Hyomin unnie when your car arrives."

"Hyomin?"

Jiang Xingchen, who vaguely sensed that something was wrong, didn't ask any further questions.

He pointed to the coffee shop sign ahead and led her forward.

...

...

"Unnie, coffee or water?"

South YZ City, comprehensive filming base.

The scene ended.

Assistant Xia Minying stepped forward, holding two thermos cups of different colors, one containing an iced Americano and the other containing iced water.

Ham Eun-jung closed her eyes and felt around for a moment before picking up the blue thermos filled with ice water.

While drinking water, she glanced outside the arena.

A lavishly decorated food truck was parked over there.

Iced Americano, the blood of Koreans.

Besides, it's free.

So at this moment, quite a few staff members are taking advantage of their free time to line up and get their coffee.

"How much will this cost?"

After looking away, Ham Eun-jung asked herself a question quietly.

Since the coffee support truck became popular, she has sent some to her friends in the industry, so she has a general idea of ​​the prices.

But Jiang Xingchen's support food truck has been there every day for the past few days without fail.

Just looking at the packaging, it's much more luxurious than anything I've seen before.

The cost, naturally, won't be cheap.

The thought of how much he had helped me made me feel a little embarrassed.

"Anyway, it'll cost a lot of money," Xia Minying said, oblivious to the complexity in her tone. She glanced back and then asked curiously, "Do designers all make this much money?"

"I'm not a designer, why are you asking me?"

"But unnie, does the designer have another identity?"

Designer = Rich.

Whether it's the agent Choi Tae-young or the assistant Ha Min-young at this moment.

They generally agree on the profession of designer.

However, compared to being rich, Xia Minying was more curious about Jiang Xingchen himself.

mystery.

That's my biggest takeaway from the past two days.

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at her manager, Lee Hwa-soo.

Two days ago, when Ham Eun-jung was filming, she noticed that Kang Sung-chen went to see him. She didn't know what the two talked about, but judging from the situation in the past two days...

He's much more well-behaved than before.

"A designer, what else could it be!"

Ham Eun-jung chuckled and gave a simple and straightforward answer.

But deep down, he was thinking about something else.

Park Jiyeon had mentioned it to her on the phone.

Jiang Xingchen owns an entertainment company and intends to sign them after their contract with MBK Entertainment expires.

The contract terms were also favorable to them.

It's just that we haven't seen the written content yet.

"Eun-jung, will Designer Kang be coming over this afternoon?"

Just then, director Lee Jae-jin's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Looking up, I saw him walking towards me with a smile.

Their attitude is completely different from what it was a few days ago.

Ham Eun-jung knew perfectly well why he had come to see her.

When I arrived at the film set early in the morning, I received a notification that the script content had been adjusted.

After seeing Ham Eun-jung's stunning short hairstyle last night, Lee Jae-jin revised the script overnight.

The original plan was to shoot in the morning.

But when they didn't see Jiang Xingchen, they changed their minds and decided to prioritize filming other scenes.

"Yes, Consultant Jiang will be here shortly."

"That's good. We're filming the scene where you change your hairstyle this afternoon. I was a little worried because he wasn't here!"

After confirming that Jiang Xingchen would be there in the afternoon, Li Zaizhen seemed to breathe a huge sigh of relief and then left with a smile.

So much so that he didn't notice that stylist Shin Sun-young was walking over from another direction, ready to check Ham Eun-jung's makeup.

Upon seeing her, Ham Eun-jung took two steps forward and took Shin Sun-young's arm: "Sun-young unnie, choosonghamida..."

The perceptive Xin Shanying immediately picked up on the meaning behind it.

However, she pretended not to understand.

He asked with a smile:

"Eun-jung, why don't you just apologize to me properly?"

......
