Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chapter 98 Taixi: The Plan Begins!

In the conference room of HD Company.

The manager returned with the album, and Park Jiyeon took it, signed her name, and handed it to Chen Ran.

"Here you go, Chen Ran."

"Thanks."

Chen Ran reached out and took it, laughing, "Alright, I've received the gift now. Don't say thank you anymore, and don't treat me to meals again."

Upon hearing this, Park Jiyeon couldn't help but recall her previous doubts.

"Chen Ran, are you really my fan?"

Chen Ran nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Are casual fans not fans?

He is indeed a casual fan of Tara. Tara's songs are really good and easy to listen to again and again.

"Why did you refuse when I, as your idol, invited you to dinner?"

Chen Ran blinked and revealed the real reason.

"Actually, I don't really like these kinds of social dinners. I won't go unless it's necessary. But if Jiyeon invites me to dinner as a friend, I'll definitely accept."

"Oh, I see."

Park Jiyeon nodded thoughtfully, her eyes flickering.

Does this mean he wants to be friends with himself, rather than simply being an idol and a fan?

Park Jiyeon's eyes darted around as she glanced at Ham Eun-jung beside her.

"What if Eun-jung unnie thanks you for a role and treats you to dinner?"

Ham Eun-jung, who was suddenly called out, looked up in surprise.

But she happened to run into Chen Ran's gaze.

The moment their eyes met, for some reason, she felt a strange tension, and also a vague desire to know what kind of answer Chen Ran would give.

Will she be different from Jiyeon?

Chen Ran glanced at Park Jiyeon, then at Ham Eunjung, and blinked.

Then, she picked up the album that Park Jiyeon had just signed and handed it to Ham Eunjung, saying with a smile, "Then let Eunjung-i sign it for me too, as a way of thanking me. Actually, I'm also your fan, Eunjung-i."

Being a fan of one person is too difficult; why not be a fan of a group of people?

In this way, everyone can be his wings, and he can treat everyone equally.

Ham Eun-jung looked at the album handed to her, blinking in confusion.

Park Ji-yeon, who was standing next to her, was the same.

Realizing what had happened, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Chen Ran, your way of rejecting people is so unique!"

Chen Ran smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. IUi said she wanted to treat me to a meal to thank me, but I didn't want to go."

"So how did you reject Ji-eun? Did you also ask her to give you a signed album?"

"No, I told her that if she gets a suitable role next time, she can give me a discount on her fee."

"Huh? Why are Ji-eun, me, and Eun-jung unnie treated differently?"

Chen Ran shrugged: "Then you'll have to ask my brain. It has its own ideas. When I was chatting with IUi, this was the answer it gave me."

"Hahaha"

Park Jiyeon covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes growing brighter as she looked at Chen Ran.

She could appreciate Chen Ran's sense of humor and sincerity.

I wonder if it's because I've been in the entertainment industry where everyone wears a mask for too long.

Chen Ran's sincerity was particularly attractive to her, making her feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Being friends with him might actually be a good idea," Park Jiyeon thought to herself.

Beside her, Ham Eun-jung also had a slight smile on her lips.

This Chen Ran has a rather interesting personality.

This was completely different from the screenwriters she had met before, who were all rather serious.

Of course, the small talk was just a digression; the interview was the real business.

About five minutes later, Yin Helin walked into the conference room.

The interview has officially begun.

Ham Eun-jung quickly adjusted her state.

The subsequent interview process went smoothly as well.

She has a solid acting foundation and would have no problem playing the role of Li Jiangzhu.

The final result was that she successfully landed the role and signed the contract on the spot.

"Please take good care of me during the rest of the filming, screenwriter," Ham Eun-jung said, bowing to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran returned a smile: "Let's look after each other."

Since Tara had other schedules to attend, Park Jiyeon and Ham Eunjung didn't stay long and quickly left with their manager.

Chen Ran was invited by Yin Helin to have lunch together.

The password input sounded, and the door opened. Kim Tae-yeon came in carrying a large bag of things with some difficulty.

She placed the bag on the counter and took out several bottles of beer, several bottles of liquor, several bottles of cold brew tea, and some ingredients to conceal their contents.

The colors of beer and cold-brewed tea are similar to those of bullwhip liquor.

The cold-brewed tea was something she prepared for herself.

Of course she can't drink alcohol.

Given her low alcohol tolerance, she would probably pass out after just one glass of mixed drinks.

How will she get on with her business after that?

Moreover, once the beer bottle cap is pried open, it can't be put back on, so the mistake will still be exposed.

Fortunately, she thought of this problem while shopping at the supermarket and finally found this plastic bottle of cold brew tea.

It can be used for personal consumption or to hold mixed drinks.

At that moment, Kim Tae-yeon felt incredibly clever.

Kim Tae-yeon took out the hidden bull penis wine again, looked at the bottles and jars on the table, and put her hands on her hips.

Let's get started!

She first opened the plastic bottle of cold brew tea, poured the tea directly into the sink, and left the plastic bottle behind.

Then I opened a bottle of beer and slowly poured it into the plastic bottle of cold brew tea.

Watching the water level, she estimated it was about right, stopped pouring beer, and added the appropriate amount of bull penis liquor.

Although she's a heavy drinker and doesn't drink much normally, she still has some experience with mixed drinks.

It's because, apart from herself, Lim Chung-ah, and Seohyun, the rest of Girls' Generation members are basically all alcoholics.

Strange knowledge accumulated in her mind day by day, and unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

First, thanks to my alcoholic teammates.

Finally, the bottle was filled to the brim. Kim Tae-yeon tightened the cap, shook it slightly a few times, then opened it again and smelled it.

"Hmm~" A satisfied smile appeared on her face.

It tastes almost identical to shochu beer.

The color is the same as that of cold-brewed tea.

success!

All that's left is to find the right moment during dinner and switch Xiaoran's drink with her special cocktail.

You don't need to drink too much, two cups at most is about right.

She wanted to create an assist, not actually get Chen Ran drunk.

How can you get up if you're drunk?

Do you really believe that the male protagonists in TV dramas can still get things done even when they're completely drunk?

Kim Tae-yeon made a small mark on the bottle, and then put the special cocktail, along with cold brew tea, beer, and soju, into the refrigerator.

Then comes the destruction of the "evidence".

She cleaned the sink, carefully hid the bull penis wine, and threw the empty beer bottle into the trash can outside the door.

After doing all this, Kim Tae-yeon sat down on the sofa in the living room and let out a soft sigh of relief.

Everything is ready; we're just waiting for Xiaoran to come back.

Kim Tae-yeon turned on the TV, relaxed on the sofa, ordered takeout on her phone, and then started watching TV.

The clock on the wall ticked away, finally reaching five o'clock in the afternoon.

"jingle"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

"Xiao Ran is back."

Kim Tae-yeon instinctively got up and walked towards the door.

But she quickly realized what was happening.

Wait a minute, why would Xiaoran ring the doorbell?

Wait... could it be Yoona again?

Kim Tae-yeon's eyes widened.

Today won't work.

Tonight is a very important night in her life.

She subconsciously tiptoed to the entrance.

If it really is Yoona, she'll pretend she's not home.

I absolutely cannot let her in today.

Kim Tae-yeon walked to the door, and when she saw the figure at the door through the security camera, her face instantly darkened.

Why is it this dog of a woman?

Pretend you're not home!

Just as Kim Tae-yeon was about to turn around and walk back, Jessica outside the door seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. She knocked on the door and called out, "Kim Tae-yeon, don't play dead. I know you're home. I asked Chen Ran."

Kim Tae-yeon's fist hardened instantly, and she gritted her teeth.

He turned and strode to the door, opened it, and said with a dark face, "What are you doing here?"

Jessica raised an eyebrow: "I'm here to eat. I already told Chen Ran."

Kim Tae-yeon's expression turned cold, and she was about to speak.

Jessica knew what she was going to say and spoke first: "I didn't break any rules. Today is Sunday. In America, Sunday is the first day of the week. You know, I'm an American citizen."

Kim Tae-yeon didn't say anything, she just stared at her coldly.

"I told Chen Ran I was coming to dinner," Jessica said, offering her last bargaining chip.

Kim Tae-yeon pursed her lips and finally stepped aside.

Jessica couldn't help but raise her eyebrows smugly, and even let out a short, nasal hum.

Kim Tae-yeon watched her retreating figure, gritted her teeth, and suddenly felt an urge to rush up and bite that bitch to death.

She knew that this scoundrel would try to find a loophole.

They even brought out the American calendar.

Kim Tae-yeon suppressed her surging anger.

I'll tolerate you this time, but if you dare to play any more tricks, I'll really fight you to the death.

Jessica walked to the sofa, sat down, elegantly crossed her legs, and glanced around the room.

"Hasn't Chen Ran returned yet?"

"no."

"oh."

Jessica's eyes flickered for a moment, then she stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see what ingredients we have, and ask Chen Ran to cook some of my favorite dishes for dinner."

Kim Tae-yeon frowned: "Aren't you asking for too much?"

"Tch, it's not like you're doing it. Chen Ran will definitely agree."

Jessica walked towards the kitchen.

Kim Tae-yeon glared at her retreating figure but didn't get up to follow her.

She kept her specially mixed drink at the very back, where it was safe.

Jessica walked into the kitchen, paused slightly at the doorway, and glanced towards the living room.

Seeing that Kim Tae-yeon hadn't followed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't let Kim Tae-yeon see what she was about to do.

Upon opening the refrigerator door, Jessica didn't look at the ingredients, but instead focused on the drinks next to it.

Skip the liquor and beer, because once you open the cap, you can't put it back on.

She picked up a bottle of cold brew tea, her eyes darting around.

This is just right.

She tiptoed to the kitchen door and peeked outside.

Kim Tae-yeon didn't come.

She walked back to the refrigerator and took a small bottle out of her pocket.

I opened a bottle of cold brew tea and added a small pill to it.

It's nothing strange, just a medicine that helps with sleep.

I shook it slightly, then put the cap back on and put it away.

Then the second bottle, the third bottle... and the fifth bottle.

After adding the first five bottles, Jessica didn't touch the remaining bottles.

That's enough.

When it's time to eat, she'll take out the first two bottles and find an excuse to get Kim Tae-yeon and Chen Ran to drink them. Then her plan for tonight will be basically a success.

Even if Kim Tae-yeon came to get it, she would definitely fall for it!

As for herself, she naturally took one of the untouched bottles at the back.

She can't sleep; how can she get things done if she does?

Looking at the bottles of cold brew tea, Jessica smiled with narrowed eyes, hummed a cheerful tune, and turned to leave the kitchen.

Back in the living room, she met Kim Tae-yeon's gaze on the sofa. Tae-yeon gave a haughty snort and sat down at the other end.

Even if it's your house now, in the end, I'll be the one who wins.

The second hand of the clock ticked away quietly in the still atmosphere.

Neither Kim Tae-yeon nor Jessica said a word.

A moment later.

Didi

Suddenly, the sound of a password being entered came from the main entrance.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the door.
