Peninsula: Starting with forming a group with the nation's little sister

Chapter 46 Lychee Gets Bullied [Please Read On]

Wow, what a beautiful hairpin! Did you buy it in Dubai?

This must be Chinese craftsmanship. I bought a wooden one while traveling, and it wasn't cheap.

[Breaking News! Breaking News! I own a craft shop and also make hairpins. Please message me to place an order. P.S. I am Chinese.]

Because of a post by Lee Ji-eun, long queues formed at craft shops all over South Korea, with those run by Chinese people being the most popular, all coming for hairpins. Some wealthy women and wives of chaebols even traveled thousands of miles to order them from China.

......

Lin Yuan and his companion stayed in Dubai for four days before being called back to Seoul, accompanied by Xia Yuan.

Lee Ji-eun gave her room in 1301 to facilitate communication and work. In a foreign country where she was unfamiliar with the place, it would be safer for her to stay by her side.

Stepping into the company lobby again, Lin Yuan felt as if he had been in another world, even though he had only been gone for a few days.

"Xiao Yuan?"

A woman's voice rang out.

He turned his head and saw Li Huizhen.

Good morning, Noona! You're still so beautiful!

Li Huizhen was amused by him. "You're the same, still so handsome." She paused, "This endorsement shoot was fantastic. It makes me want to go to Dubai for a visit, but it's too expensive!"

She was immediately drawn to GG the moment she saw it, until she clicked on the official website and was nearly scared to death by the string of zeros. And that was before it was converted to Korean Won; there would be even more zeros then.

"Nuna is joking. You can go to Teacher Li Lizhen. She earns a lot. What's wrong with an older sister spending some money on her younger sister? Don't you think so?"

Lin Yuan leaned over the front desk and spoke in a seductive tone.

Li Huizhen nodded subconsciously and fell into deep thought.

It seems like a good idea. After all, unnie earns a lot, so what's wrong with spending some on her younger sister?

Let's do it this way. I'll talk to Unnie when I get back later.

By the time she came to her senses, Lin Yuan had already vanished.

"What? Are you so busy with work that you don't even have time to say a few more words?"

She sat down dejectedly and continued working, looking utterly dejected.

Lin Yuan walked into the conference room, where Li Zhi'en was already seated and waiting.

"Sorry for the delay downstairs."

Bae Yong-joon smiled and shook his head.

Just kidding, he can't afford to offend Lin Yuan now.

"It's alright, have a seat first, we're about to begin."

After Lin Yuan sat down, the lights in the conference room dimmed, and the projector turned on, displaying Lu Min's upcoming schedule, which was densely packed.

"Now that some important endorsements have been filmed, the next steps are some commercial performances, GG magazine shoots, and so on."

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded. This isn't a buddy, is it?

He estimated that he works nearly 10 hours a day, not counting the time lost due to various accidents, and after deducting the travel time, he can only sleep for 5 or 6 hours a day at most, and that is if he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. Otherwise, the time is even shorter.

Lee Ji-eun didn't mind; she was used to this grueling schedule, since it always happened after a new song release.

This was already considered good; with the involvement of Sony and the Burj Al Arab hotel, she was able to rest comfortably for almost two weeks, which was a tremendous blessing.

Bae Yong-joon then spoke up, "Also, Ji-eun's birthday is coming up soon. Have you thought about what to do this time? Should we do a live stream online, send her some gifts, or something else?"

Lee Ji-eun thought for a moment. This birthday party would definitely not be simple. After all, Lin Yuan was there. The two were a group, and he definitely couldn't be missing. So she had to think it over carefully.

"I'll go back and think about it. I'll try something different this time. It gets tiring for the fans to watch live streams all the time."

Bae Yong-joon nodded. The birthday party wasn't on the main schedule, so she could arrange it herself. "Okay, that's all for today. Get some rest tonight, we'll be busy tomorrow."

At this moment, Lin Yuan raised his hand, "Brother, my family has arranged an agent for me. Help her get a work permit later, just attach it to the group, it'll be easy for her to come and go from the company, I'll pay her own salary."

"Okay, no problem."

Lin Yuan called Xia Yuan over and asked her to go with Pei Yongjun to complete the formalities. Then the three of them drove back.

"Let's go see the lychees. The little girl complained the other day that we went on a trip without taking her."

After he mentioned it, Lee Ji-eun remembered that she had also received a message from Lychee a few days ago. She glanced at the time and found that it was still early. "Okay, let's buy some food on the way. There's a large supermarket just around the corner."

.....

Inside the JYP practice room, Hwang Yeji was surrounded in the hallway, her hair disheveled, stubbornly staring at them.

She blocked Shin Yoo-na behind her, her voice trembling as she said, "What... what are you doing? This is a company. You'll be fired if you lay a hand on someone. Don't you want to debut anymore?"

Upon hearing this, a girl who was leading the way stepped forward, glaring at her fiercely. "Heh, that's only if someone sees it."

She looked at the crowd around her, pointed randomly, and said, "Did you see that?"

"No, I just came here to slack off."

"And you? Did you see us make our move?"

"Huh? My eyesight is bad, I only saw a fox spirit making noise."

The girl looked at her teasingly, "See, they didn't see it~"

Hwang Ye-ji retreated in fear, while Shin Yoo-na, who was behind her, wanted to step forward to argue with her, but she stopped her.

"Unnie, let go of them, let me teach them a lesson."

Shin Yuna isn't afraid of these people. She's a proper sports student and has won many awards. If they were to fight, it's hard to say who would win.

"No, you won't be able to stay here either." Huang Lizhi was startled by her and gripped her wrist tightly, afraid that she would rush forward in a moment of impulse.

At this moment, Lin Yuan and his two companions arrived at JYP's practice room, but did not find Lizhi.

"That's strange. They should all be at the company at this time. Why aren't they here?"

Lee Ji-eun was making a phone call nearby when she shook her head in disappointment and said, "No one's answering."

Just then, a girl walked by, and he stopped her. "Excuse me, do you know where Huang Lizhi went?"

The girl didn't say anything, but stared at the two of them for a long time.

The next second she recognized them, and excitedly waved her arms and legs: "Lin Yuan oppa? IU sunbaenim?"

The two nodded.

"Ahhh, I'm so happy! I'm a fan of LuMin, my name is Shin Ryujin, can I get an autograph?"

Lin Yuan gestured for her to speak softly: "Shh, we're here to find Lizhi. Would you mind taking us to her? I'll give you her autograph in a bit."

"Come with me!"

The two followed her to the stairwell.

Shen Liuzhen, who was walking in front, pushed open the fire door and said, "We usually come here around this time. There are no security cameras here, so we can sneak some good food."

She was still talking enthusiastically, unaware that Lin Yuan and the other woman's expressions had turned cold. "Ji-eun, call Park Jin-young. Xia Yuan, have Attorney Zhang come over, now! Immediately!"

"You vixen, so what if you've only been in a music video? You dare to be so arrogant in front of us. Are you still arrogant now?"

Huang Lizhi was surrounded, and a group of girls were attacking her.

The next second, Lin Yuan rushed over, pushed everyone aside, helped Huang Lizhi up, and said with a face full of heartache, "Lizhi, I'm sorry, I'm late."
