Peninsula Steel Love

Chapter 793 Prelude

February 2th is the traditional Western Valentine's Day, commonly known as Valentine's Day.

It happened to be Saturday, and since daytime, pairs of young couples behaving intimately could be seen everywhere on the streets of Seoul. It was estimated that the content of certain components in the Han River water would increase significantly after nightfall.

Of course, most couples will only choose cheap and affordable love hotels, and usually will not consider the JW Marriott Hotel in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu.

This is a five-star luxury hotel. The price of an ordinary room starts at 70 won a night. It's just a sex scene, why spend that much money?

In addition, there are high-end banquet halls on the third and fifth floors of the hotel, and the signing donation ceremony and charity reception between Suzy and the Gwangju Joint Fundraising Association was held in the banquet hall on the third floor.

Just after noon, many people began to arrive at the reception area outside the banquet hall, most of whom were media reporters.

Some of them were invited by the organizers, and the rest all came to grab the news after hearing the news. There are reliable sources saying that Zhou Jing will attend the signing ceremony today.

Great! This is the first time that the national hero and the national first love appear together in public. It is definitely a hot search material. How can they not flock to it?

There is still some time before the ceremony begins, so these uncrowned kings gather in twos and threes to chat about gossip, and the content naturally revolves around the two hottest topics of the moment.

One of them is related to Hanjin Group, one of the five largest chaebols in South Korea. Two months ago, Hanjin’s eldest princess and Korean Air’s vice president Cho Hyun-ah staged a nut scandal.

She was on a Korean Air flight from New York back to South Korea. The young lady got furious because the flight attendant gave her nuts without unpacking them and putting them on a plate.

It was not enough to force the flight attendant and the chief stewardess on duty to kneel down and apologize. Zhao Xian'e even ordered the captain to drive the plane that had already slid onto the runway back to the boarding gate, and then violently drove the flight attendant and the chief stewardess involved off the plane before she stopped.

Her arrogance caused the flight to be delayed by nearly an hour. If this happened in South Korea, it might not be a big deal.

The problem is that it was in America, and most of the passengers on the plane were Americans, so there was no way the father could cover it up.

As the incident was exposed, it quickly caused an uproar in Korean society. Although Cho Hyun-ah's father, Cho Yang-ho, the current chairman of Hanjin Group, publicly apologized at the first time, he still failed to quell the public's anger.

Therefore, under tremendous public pressure, Cho Hyun-ah was forced to resign from all her positions in the family business.

Immediately afterwards, the Seoul Western District Court issued an arrest warrant for her on suspicion of violating the Aviation Safety Act and other charges. A month later, yesterday, the court found Cho Hyun-ah guilty in the first instance and sentenced her to one year in prison.

Zhao Xian'e's representative lawyer appealed in court, so it remains to be seen how the incident will end.

Let’s put the evil chaebols aside for now, the other topic is related to the entertainment industry, so the entertainment reporters are more enthusiastic about gossiping.

The protagonist is YG Entertainment, and they have been full of surprises in the past few days.

First, the National Security Agency suddenly and without warning conducted a safety and fire inspection on the new building that YG was building. During the process, a total of 87 items that did not comply with laws and regulations and required rectification were found.

In view of this, the National Security Department temporarily revoked the construction permit for the new building and explicitly required it to be resubmitted for approval after all rectifications were completed.

No way! The YG director in charge of the project almost threw himself in anger on the spot. At this rate, the new building will not be able to resume construction within a year, and the losses caused are incalculable.

However, this was just the beginning. The next day, a large number of people wearing black suits and holding empty cardboard boxes showed up at YG company. The security guards were shocked and wanted to stop them, but as soon as the other party revealed their identity, no one said a word.

The National Tax Service and the local prosecutors' office jointly took action because they received reports that YG company was suspected of tax evasion, illegal establishment of funds and misappropriation of public funds.

The main computer and related paper documents in the finance room were all packed up and taken away. At the same time, President Yang Hyun-suk's younger brother, Director Yang Min-suk, was also invited to the Procuratorate for coffee.

Oh my god, the coffee is still hot, but YG's stock has plummeted, with a drop of more than 3%, and nearly 800 billion won in market value evaporated.

It was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting YG. What should they do? YG’s top management held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. They also wanted to find out who was the mastermind behind this.

Outsiders don't know whether the meeting produced any results, but things are still going on.

After the meeting, the senior directors drove away and suddenly found that there was a police checkpoint at the intersection near the company, apparently to check for drunk driving.

This is not surprising, but the strange thing is that other cars only do breath tests, but once they encounter a nanny car or a vehicle leaving YG company, the police will hand over a plastic bottle with a smile.

Come on, dear, everyone get off the car and do a urine test. Thank you for your hard work and cooperation.

WTF, this action by the police is not very harmful but very insulting.

Wait, it can’t be said that there is no harm. There were two unlucky guys whose urine tests turned positive and they were immediately taken to the police station.

When the police saw it, they were really lucky. So the next day they simply set up the card at the entrance and exit of the YG company parking lot.

It's over. Some people were so scared that they dared not enter the company or even go near the company for fear of being implicated.

Frankly speaking, even the media reporters could see a clue at this point. YG was most likely retaliated against for offending someone. Combined with the big fight between Hongjingtian and Function fans some time ago, the answer is obvious.

Function fans? Don't be ridiculous. At most, they can send wreaths or rent trucks to protest in front of the building. The only one who can push YG to the ground and rub it repeatedly without saying anything is Rhodiola. You're convinced. If Rhodiola doesn't make a sound, it will be a big hit. They don't play the tricks of fan girls. The three major brokerage companies in South Korea, if they really piss you off, you won't have anywhere to cry.

So what if it is backed by CJ Entertainment? It hasn't said anything so far. The Ministry of Culture has issued a notice, calling on all brokerage companies to abide by laws and regulations and set a correct value orientation for the public.

  Well, it seems that YG still has a lot of "good days" to go. Everyone is curious about how YG will solve the current troubles. This is also one of the important reasons why reporters came to the Marriott Hotel to block Zhou Jing.
-

"What?"

The black business car was driving slowly on the busy streets of Jiangnan District. Zhou Jing heard Shuijing's exclamation and turned his head, only to see her reaching out to him to signal him not to make a sound.

"Leslie, I have to ask him if he has time first. He's been very busy lately."

"Well, wait for my reply, see you"

  Crystal put down her phone and thought for a while, then she smiled and teased:

"Stinky Oppa, it looks like someone can't sit still, hehe"

"Who?"

"What do you think? You know the truth but you pretend to be ignorant. Humph." Crystal rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

She had clearly mentioned the other person's English name, Leslie, just now, and the only person she knew by that name was Han Ye-seul.

Han Ye-seul suddenly proposed to invite Krystal and Zhou Jing to dinner together, ostensibly to thank Zhou Jing for recommending resources to her, but Krystal is not stupid.

She knew very well what YG's recent situation was, so she was sure that the person who really wanted to date her and Zhou Jing should be Han Ye-seul's boyfriend, Teddy Park Hong-jun.

To be honest, if she had been like before, Krystal would have declined Han Ye-seul's invitation right away.

  What a joke, YG secretly instigated the opposition between function fans and Rhodiola rosea, and since she is the main person, would she not care and remain indifferent?

Don't be ridiculous. If it weren't for her status, believe it or not, she would be the first one to send a wreath to YG company and wish them a quick death and rebirth. TNND, I'm so pissed off.

But she felt really embarrassed when Han Ye-seul showed up. After all, the other party was a senior, and they would be working in the same crew in a few months. She couldn't just be so rude.

That's why she went to discuss it with her boyfriend, but she didn't expect Zhou Jing to just laugh it off, which made Shuijing so angry that she exploded.

Well, the first principle of teasing is that a little teasing can please the heart, but if you tease too much, something bad will happen. So Zhou Jing quickly slapped his forehead and pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

"Hey, what Leslie? Isn't she Han Ye-seul xi? What's going on? Does she want to talk to you about something?"

"She wants to invite you and me to dinner."

"Just eat it, you decide the time, I can do it before the New Year."

"Mo?"

Crystal couldn't help but be filled with doubts. She couldn't believe that Zhou Jing didn't understand what she had figured out. How could it be possible?

Zhou Jing couldn't help laughing when he saw the question marks on Crystal's forehead. "Haha, okay, some things need to be settled after all. It's not good to make a big fuss. Even rabbits bite when they are angry. I think they should learn their lesson this time."

"But."

Shuijing tilted her neck and looked obviously unwilling, but the next second her soft hand was gently held by Zhou Jing.

"I understand that you feel wronged. I am angry too, but let's forgive them. We don't need to take things too far. We can't ask President Yang Hyun Suk to kneel down and sing Conquer."

"Pfft."

Shuijing couldn't hold back her laughter and was shaking with laughter. There was nothing she could do as she often hung out on the domestic Internet and was familiar with this joke. The key point was that it was particularly vivid when it came from her own man's mouth.

"I think it's not impossible, hehe." After saying this, Shui Jing raised her hand to give Zhou Jing a hug.

It's all your fault, you stinky oppa. You almost ruined her makeup by laughing so hard. This made Crystal quickly cheer herself up and take out her makeup box to touch up her makeup.

Her seriousness was even more than when she was on stage. Of course, this was her first time attending a formal event as Zhou Jing's mother, not to mention that the host was Bae Suzy.

Oh my god, this is a bit scary! As the car got closer to the destination, Zhou Jing was horrified to find that Shui Jing's expression gradually became cold, and a high fighting spirit slowly emanated from her whole body.

No way, why does it seem like we are going to a fight? Wait, they are not going to really fight, are they? This sudden thought made Zhou Jing feel a chill down his spine.

"Stinky Oppa, what are you thinking about, we're here."

  Crystal's voice interrupted Zhou Jing's wild thoughts. It turned out that the car had slowly entered the underground parking garage of JW Marriott Hotel. However, Zhou Jing just wanted to ask weakly at this time,

"Is it too late for us to turn back now?"
