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

Chapter 48 How about becoming a club president for fun? [Please continue reading]

"Lin Yuanxi, what do you want?"

Park Jin-young thought that given his status, it would be enough for him to lower himself to bow and apologize to a junior, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem very satisfied.

Since that's the case, he doesn't intend to tolerate it anymore. What good is Hongsheng's lawyer? He might have been hired with money. Whether the police are even willing to get involved in such a trivial matter is another question.

If the company weren't doing poorly, he could have just had his secretary handle this matter easily; he wouldn't have needed to get involved personally at all.

Thinking of this, Park Jin-young straightened up, straightened his tie, and exuded an aura of authority. "Secretary Park, take them away. I need to have a good talk with Lim Won-ssi."

"Inside!"

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Yuan and Park Jin-young remained in the hallway. The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

"It seems President Park wants to have a serious talk with me?"

Lin Yuan lit a cigarette, his tone flippant, showing no regard for him whatsoever.

If asked who he liked best among Lee Soo-man, Yang Hyun-suk, and Park Jin-young, Lin Yuan would only choose Lee Soo-man, followed by "Gorilla" Park Jin-young.

As for the remaining one... if it weren't for Bigbang, Jisoo, and others, he would never have known the name of the YG CEO.

It's widely known that SM Entertainment is notorious for exploiting its employees, and Lee Soo-man is notoriously domineering, taking action without hesitation.

Lin Yuan could understand it to some extent. The trainees were all teenagers in their teens, which is the time when they are most rebellious. Kids at this age have the strongest rebellious mentality and can't listen to any grand principles at all.

Some people make mistakes and never repent. No matter how much you talk to them, they won't realize what's wrong. In this case, it's not a bad thing to give them some punishment. Physical pain is more effective than a hundred words of advice.

Moreover, SM Entertainment is also known as a "retirement home for artists." As long as you don't commit murder, arson, or other heinous crimes, the company will try to protect you. Even if you get old and can't earn money, they won't kick you out of the company arbitrarily.

Lin Yuan only wants to say one thing: Isn't this a conscientious entrepreneur?

Park Jin-young's expression changed, his eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "Lin Yuanxi, logically speaking, your status isn't qualified to speak with me face-to-face. Although I don't know what methods you used to hire this lawyer, or if it's from Hong Sheng, but..."

"An artist is an artist. I'm only speaking up for Hwang Ye-ji and IU. One of them is an employee who makes money for me, and the other is a top-tier star. As for you..."

Park Jin-young scoffed, tapping Lin Yuan's chest with his finger, and said disdainfully, "You're just a newcomer who just debuted. Do you think you can be on par with me just because you have IU? You're talking nonsense."

He straightened up, took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his hands, and turned to leave. "Get out of here before I get angry, and Huang Lizhi won't be able to escape either. Otherwise, I'll make sure she can never enter the entertainment industry again. You can try to see if I have the ability."

Attorney Zhang stood at the door, reaching out to stop him, her eyes fixed on her young master, awaiting instructions.

Does someone of this status even deserve to lecture the young master? A tiny country is just a tiny country; they only know how to look at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Lin Yuan exhaled the last puff of smoke, the cigarette butt falling from his mouth and sparking a few flecks on the ground.

He lifted his foot and stepped on it, extinguishing it in two quick movements without any effort.

He waved his hand, and Attorney Zhang quietly walked to the side. Then he looked at Park Jin-young and said, "President Park, your composure is... average. Those in positions of power should learn to be patient, yielding, and not show their emotions. Moreover, threatening me in front of so many people—could it be that you have the President backing you?"

Lin Yuan looked him up and down. The legendary "Gorilla" seemed to be just so-so. His appearance was average, but he was definitely talented. After all, he had risen from producer to president, and his company was one of the Big Three.

I wonder if it's because they're self-made, but they lack a solid foundation and are arrogant.

"Damn it, you little brat, what did you say?!"

These words were more damaging than direct insults; they were full of contempt for him, even calling him a dog kept by a tycoon. This was truly intolerable.

Lin Yuan casually picked at his ear.

He was too lazy to argue with these people, so he simply suppressed them to teach them a lesson. "Lawyer Zhang."

"Young Master!"

"Since President Park is so arrogant, then I'll make him soar." He paused, "I heard JYP is about to go bankrupt? What do you think about me becoming the president? Sounds interesting."

Huh? Young Master?

Park Jin-young had studied Chinese, so he could hear their conversation clearly.

I thought he was just a rich kid whose family had a little money, who was lucky enough to get on the boat with IU and Loen, and came here to seek attention without knowing his own limitations. Now you're telling me he's the young master of Hong Sheng?

Park Jin-young's vision went black. It was all over! But then he remembered Sony and the "sailboat" endorsement, and everything became clear.

With your prestigious status, why did you become an entertainer? Hwang Li-ji, you've really ruined my life!

But he couldn't lose his position as president, and he couldn't lose JYP. It was the culmination of his life's work, and TWICE, on whom he had placed high hopes, had already debuted. He had borrowed a large sum of money for this, and it was on the verge of being revived. He couldn't afford to fall here.

"I'm so sorry, I was blind to your abilities. Please forgive me, Young Master Lin."

Oh? You're backing down already? I haven't even had a chance to fully enjoy my show of bravado.

However, the lychee's grievances are not going to pass so easily; I'll eat you clean.

"Heh, an apology isn't enough, President Park~"

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

What's meant to happen will happen. Park Jin-young gritted his teeth, blaming himself for being blind. "Young Master Lin, just say the word. As long as you're satisfied, I'll agree to any condition!"

Is this really true?

"really!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan cheerfully reached out and helped him up. "I've heard so much about President Park. It was all a misunderstanding. Let's go to your office to talk. Come on, come on."

The two, who were at odds just a moment ago, are now like old friends who haven't seen each other in a long time, enjoying each other's company!

"Attorney Zhang, call Xia Yuan. Let's go to President Park's office for a cup of tea."

"yes!"

In the nearby lounge, Hwang Ye-ji had already fallen asleep in Lee Ji-eun's arms, the tear stains at the corners of his eyes not yet completely gone, his brows furrowed.

Knock knock knock!

A knock on the door startled her awake, and she rushed to the door.

Lin Yuan pushed the door open and came in. The next second, he found himself in the arms of a soft, fragrant body.

"Oppa~ I...did I do something wrong? Can we not pursue this anymore? I'm so scared."

Huang Lizhi said through sobs, his words filled with fear.

Lin Yuan felt a lump in his throat. What a lovely girl! It's all that damned JYP's fault; they're inhuman.

He gently patted Hwang Ye-ji's head and said softly, "Good boy, Lychee, Oppa is alright, everything is resolved."

Hwang Ye-ji was somewhat skeptical, thinking that Oppa was saying this because he didn't want her to worry.

If it's really resolved, why hasn't anyone apologized?

"Oppa is lying!"

"well"

Lin Yuan was a little annoyed; why was this little girl so stubborn?

"How about this, I'll discuss the compensation with Park Jin-young later, you can come along too."

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to bring her along, otherwise the little girl will start overthinking again.
