Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

"What?"

"A bold idea?"

"Why didn't you ask Jiyeon about that kind of thing, but you came to me?"

When the call connected, Park Hyo-min heard Kang Sung-chen suddenly say that.

My brain suddenly started to shut down.

While she was still conscious, she responded quickly.

As he spoke, he prepared to hang up the phone.

"Huh? What are you talking about..."

Jiang Xingchen didn't immediately grasp Park Hyomin's meaning either, and asked in confusion.

Then, without thinking too much, he took advantage of the fact that the call hadn't been disconnected.

He also sped up his speech.

I briefly explained the situation.

The gist of it is that they acquired a batch of high-quality retro-style glasses.

Please ask her to cooperate and suggest a few outfits.

Nonhyeon-dong, inside the Apelbaum luxury apartment building.

Park Hyomin, wearing a silk nightgown, sat sideways on the bed, fanning her face with her hand.

When Jiang Xingchen uttered the first sentence about the important matter, she knew she had made a mistake.

Why think of anything?

But my thoughts took a completely different turn and went off to the Pacific Ocean.

So embarrassing.

Fortunately, Jiang Xingchen on the other end of the phone didn't seem to realize what was happening.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing much, just wondering what kind of clothes you'd like me to wear?"

"Dedicated!" Jiang Xingchen praised her, not quite hearing what she was saying to herself. "This isn't urgent. It's just an idea I just came up with, and I was worried I'd forget, so I called you directly."

"It's nothing, it's still quite early."

"I won't bother you then. I'll contact you again when I'm done with my work these next couple of days."

"Well... goodnight then!"

"Good night."

...

...

The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning.

Due to the impact of some force majeure event.

He habitually sprang out of bed.

But after being ejected from the bed, a series of complaints followed.

"Screw it..."

"I've already time-traveled, why am I still thinking about working 8 AM?!"

"Damn it, you shouldn't have brought such a bad habit with you!"

However, since he had already gotten up, he didn't lie down anymore. He scratched his head a couple of times and went into the bathroom.

Less than ten minutes.

Then he came out.

I had arranged to meet Jung Kyu-jin at 9:30.

So I wasn't in a hurry to go out.

Instead, they sat down in front of the computer.

Please wait a moment.

A complex interface pops up on the screen.

At this time, BitMEX was a cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform based solely on cryptocurrencies.

A dark-colored trading interface.

The numbers in the order book on the left kept flashing.

After briefly glancing at it, he clicked on the leveraged orders he had placed and executed two days prior at the predicted low point for Bitcoin.

Including the money Park Jiyeon gave him for investment.

He bought a total of 5 Bitcoins.

It doesn't look like much.

The principal was only around $1.49.

With 100x leverage, the purchasing power directly reached $149 million.

The position is already fully leveraged.

He's just waiting for the market panic to create a massive bearish candlestick that will trigger the sell-off, then he won't have to worry too much about money.

But as the saying goes...

I'm not afraid of rich kids spending money recklessly, I'm afraid of them starting businesses recklessly.

As things stand, he can be considered an entrepreneur at present.

So, the capital.

The more the better.

Click...

The mouse moves, making a crisp sound.

He exited the secure interface of the BitMEX trading platform.

But his gaze remained fixed on the screen in front of him.

Pupils are unfocused.

My thoughts started to wander.

In the blink of an eye.

I've been in Seoul for over half a month now.

Life here?

I'm adapting pretty well.

He liked it very much.

Apart from the system being a bit of a nutcase, always giving him awkward moments, everything else is fine.

Thinking of this, his eyes regained their sparkle.

His laughter echoed through the room.

Without letting my thoughts wander further, I got up, walked to the refrigerator, and took out two slices of bread and a carton of milk for breakfast.

9:30.

Zheng Kuizhen arrived on time.

He picked up his bag containing his laptop and tablet and went downstairs.

I'm not going to any very formal occasions today, so I'm dressed relatively casually.

A simple solid-color T-shirt and jeans, with a matching shirt layered on top, the hem casually tied at the waist.

It took less than twenty minutes.

We went from Itaewon-dong to Mangwon-dong.

Jiang Xingchen has been busy with Ham Eun-jung's affairs these past few days and hasn't come here.

Although I had other plans today, I was relatively free, so I came to check it out.

But when he opened the door, he noticed something was wrong.

The door wasn't locked.

The word "terrible" immediately came to mind.

I thought my house had been robbed while I was away.

"Who's outside?"

Just then, a familiar voice came from inside.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Xingchen's tension vanished instantly. She replied, "It's me," and then pushed open the door.

After opening the door, a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Park Jiyeon, who was staring at the door with a wary expression.

"Why aren't you sleeping at home this early in the morning? Why are you here cleaning?"

As he spoke, he strode closer and took the "self-defense weapon"—a broom—from her hand. "I can't afford such an expensive cleaning lady!"

"Who's interested in cleaning for you!" Park Jiyeon pouted, turned around and walked into the shabby office, sitting down in Jiang Xingchen's uncomfortable boss's chair.

"I just couldn't sleep, and since I had nothing to do, I drove around aimlessly and happened to pass by here, so I stopped by to take a look."

"All right..."

Jiang Xingchen casually placed his bag on the table, looked down at Park Jiyeon who was looking up at him, and seeing her bright eyes, white teeth, and delicate red lips, he felt that she was lying.

Who would go out with full makeup on if they couldn't sleep?

But he didn't dwell on it.

After admiring it for a few seconds...

"You probably didn't eat anything this morning, right? Shall I go buy you something?"

"Iced Americano, croissant bread."

Hearing the words almost immediately following, he couldn't help but tease, "Hey, aren't you going to be a little polite?"

"You've already taken such a proactive step, if I reject you now, you'll be heartbroken later."

"That makes sense!"

Jiang Xingchen gave a thumbs up.

After saying that, he took out his wallet from his bag, turned around and walked out.

This area is relatively remote, and apart from Shunyu's pig's trotters, the restaurants only offer a few of the usual dishes.

There are even fewer coffee shops.

So after leaving the house, he got into the car and asked Jung Kyu-jin to take him to a nearby coffee shop and bakery.

Of course, when buying coffee and bread, he didn't forget to get one for Jung Kyu-jin as well.

"What are you looking at?"

It was another twenty minutes or so before we got back to EPOCH.

However, when he entered the room, he saw Park Jiyeon staring blankly at the desktop computer on the table.

With some confusion, he placed the coffee and croissant next to her before walking around the table to the side and leaning over to look at the screen.

"An email, it looks like it came from the Cayman Islands?"

Noticing his movement, Park Jiyeon didn't flinch, but simply replied uncertainly.

While waiting for her coffee, she decided to watch something since she had nothing to do. However, as soon as she turned on her computer, a notification popped up about unread emails.

Knowing the email password, she clicked on it without thinking twice.

Unfortunately, I overestimated my English proficiency.

I was completely confused while watching.

"That's right, it was sent from over there."

Jiang Xingchen glanced at it quickly, then smiled and explained on Park Jiyeon's shoulder, "They said everything about the shell company is settled, and they're going to send over a whole set of documents by express delivery."

"It's rare to see them still working at this hour."

Park Jiyeon's mind was completely blank at the moment, and she didn't pay attention to the contents of the email. Instead, she thought she was pretty smart for actually understanding the contents of the email!

"That's so true to me!"

"hold head high?"

"What's wrong?"

"So you understood it?"

"It's an email from the Cayman Islands, didn't I already mention it?"
