Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 43 Girls' Generation

On the morning of Zhou Wenzhe's birthday, he went to a nearby supermarket for a big shopping spree. Sun Shengwan had already told him that they would come over after their schedules were over, and that all five of them would be coming.

He was really surprised when he heard the news; he never expected Bae Joo-hyun to come.

However, since she was a guest, he should treat her well. He also wanted to take this opportunity to find out why she hated him so much.

Only by knowing the reason can he complete the mission. Although the intimacy between the two has dropped to single digits, there is only a little over a month left, which is still very urgent.

After finishing his shopping, he carried several large shopping bags and put them in the trunk of his car.

I had just gotten into the car and was about to leave when my phone suddenly rang.

When I picked it up, I was surprised to see that it was a call from Kim Jisoo.

This was the first time she had called him since they exchanged numbers.

connected.

"Hey, Jisoo."

"Wen Zhe, are you home right now?"

"No, I'm at the supermarket. What's wrong?"

"I'm at the entrance of your residential complex."

"Huh? You want to see me?" Zhou Wenzhe was surprised. Why did you come to my door without saying a word?

"Um, when will you be back?"

"Ten minutes, you can go up first. The room code is..."

"No need, I'll wait for you here."

"Alright then."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wenzhe started the car, drove out of the parking lot, and quickly headed home.

When he drove to the vicinity of the entrance to the residential area, he spotted Kim Ji-soo on the roadside. She was wearing a mask and hat and carrying a shopping bag.

Zhou Wenzhe stopped the car beside her, rolled down the window, and called out, "Jisoo, get in the car."

Kim Jisoo stepped forward, opened the passenger door, and got in.

"What do you want? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I remember today is your birthday, right? This is for you." Kim Jisoo handed over the bag in her hand.

"Thank you, you still remember my birthday." Zhou Wenzhe was genuinely surprised. He took the bag and glanced at the logo on it: Rolex.

As expected of a "good friend" with an intimacy level of 79, they actually gave such an expensive gift.

Do you remember when I celebrated your birthday when you were little?

"Uh... did I?" Zhou Wenzhe tried hard to recall, but he had absolutely no recollection of it.

Hearing that Zhou Wenzhe didn't remember this, Kim Jisoo was a little disappointed. Maybe this is the difference between boys and girls; girls usually have a deeper memory of these things.

Zhou Wenzhe quickly noticed Kim Jisoo's disappointed expression and hurriedly tried to make amends, saying, "I've invited some friends over tonight, would you like to come along?"

"No, I have another job this afternoon, and it won't be finished until very late."

"Oh, okay, let's have lunch together then."

"Okay, sure." Kim Jisoo nodded. Besides bringing a gift, she also had some questions she wanted to ask him.

Since the two of them couldn't go out to eat, they had to eat at home.

After returning home, Zhou Wenzhe began preparing lunch, with Jin Zhixiu assisting him.

The two chatted and laughed and quickly prepared lunch.

Although it was a birthday celebration for Zhou Wenzhe, Kim Jisoo had work in the afternoon, so the two of them didn't drink alcohol and opted for soft drinks instead.

"Happy birthday to you."

"Thanks."

The two clinked glasses and chatted as they ate.

"Wen Zhe, what did you talk about with our club president yesterday?"

This is the question that Kim Jisoo wants to know.

Although the atmosphere in the company was already not good during this period due to certain events, and everyone was feeling depressed, work continued as usual.

They went back to the company yesterday to discuss the upcoming work, but it was suddenly called off. Only the work that couldn't be canceled in the next few days is still on schedule.

It is said that the two presidents, surnamed Yang, flew into a rage in their office and smashed many things.

Why are the two presidents of the Yang family so angry?

Could it be related to what Zhou Wenzhe said about discussing business?

"We just chatted casually. Jisoo, what do you think of your company's two presidents? Be honest." Zhou Wenzhe glanced at Kim Jisoo.

"It's alright, I can't really say. Why do you ask?"

"I just want to know how you YG Entertainment artists view these two CEOs."

"What else can we say? They are the president, and we have to do whatever they say. There's no room for objection."

"What if we change the player? You guys won't have any complaints, will you?"

"Change people? You mean bring in a new president?" Kim Ji-soo was a little shocked. They really hadn't thought of such a thing. As far as she knew, the Yang brothers, Hyun-suk and Min-suk, together held more than 20% of YG Entertainment's shares.

Over the years, the company has been controlled by these two brothers, so how could they possibly change personnel?

"Yes, what would you think if a new president came to take the helm of YG Entertainment?"

"As long as it allows us to return more often, I have absolutely no objection."

To say that Kim Jisoo is loyal to YG Entertainment or the two CEOs Yang Hyun-suk is an understatement; in fact, most of the company's artists and staff are not.

It's just a job. As long as the new president treats them well, they will support him. I imagine there will only be a handful of people who have objections.

"Haha, aren't you tired?"

"You really don't understand how we idols think. If you're really afraid of being tired, then you shouldn't be in this industry. It's only by being tired that you can prove your popularity, and of course, you can earn more money. There are many idols in our industry who want to be tired but can't, and they haven't earned any money after several years. Who do you think is worse off?"

"OK, I understand." Zhou Wenzhe had never really considered this before. In the entertainment industry, new people enter the circle every day. If you don't move forward, you fall behind. Once you fall behind, it's even more difficult to move forward again.

"Won-cheol, do you know something?" Kim Ji-soo was filled with doubt.

You'll understand in a couple of days.

. . .

After finishing their lunch, which was just for the two of them, Zhou Wenzhe saw Kim Jisoo off at the entrance of the residential complex. Only after seeing her get into a taxi did he turn around and walk back.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Lim Yoona again while riding the elevator. This time, however, she was accompanied by two other women, and the three of them came up from the underground parking lot.

Remembering what Son Seungwan had told him before that Im Yoon-ah had a problem with him, Zhou Wenzhe smiled, stepped into the elevator, and greeted her, "Im Yoon-ah-ssi, what a coincidence."

Then he looked at the other two women and felt they looked familiar, but he didn't pay much attention and pressed the button for the top floor.

Upon reaching the floor, the elevator doors opened, and the three of them stepped out. The elevator doors then closed again, and the elevator continued upwards.

Yoona opened the door, and the three of them went inside.

"Yoona, who was that just now? Why do you two seem to be at odds?" a girl asked curiously. Her younger sister was known for being kind and good-tempered, so why was she so rude just now? She didn't even respond when someone greeted her.

"I'm not familiar with the neighbors who live upstairs."

"oh."

"Since you're a neighbor, how can you be so rude? What if he talks badly about you outside?" another girl said worriedly. What are celebrities most afraid of? Their reputation being ruined.

Although no one may believe such a revelation, what if he secretly saved the evidence?

No, it won't.

"Could it be that he wants to pursue you?" Both of them considered this possibility.

"What? He has a girlfriend, and she works at our company."

"Huh? Who is it?"

"Wendy of Red Velvet".

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Daibak, I didn't expect that. You're already dating after only 4 years since your debut. That's even more intense than what we were doing back then."

"Hey, shut up."

Meanwhile, after Zhou Wenzhe returned home, he remembered who the other two women in the elevator were: Kim Tae-yeon and Tiffany, both members of Girls' Generation.
