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

Chapter 42 Summer Garden [Please continue reading]

"President, please don't rush, speak slowly."

Shen Yuanxiu calmed himself down and said as calmly as possible, "Just two hours ago, Hongsheng Group issued an announcement, declaring your group as the spokesperson for the 'Burj Al Arab' hotel."

He swallowed hard, his voice suddenly rising, "You know, this is the 'Sailboat,' and it's never had a spokesperson since it was built. How can I not be excited? Even the President called to praise me."

!!!

"Wait, you mean Hong Sheng? The Hong Sheng of China?"

Afraid of mishearing, he asked again.

"Yes, that's Hongsheng."

Lin Yuan was stunned. He had no idea about this, and his family hadn't even informed him.

Shen Yuanxiu, hearing him remain silent for a while, became quite smug. "You've forgotten how to say anything when you're excited, haven't you? Hahaha, it's alright. When I first found out, I was only slightly better off than you. It's understandable that you're not quite at least as composed as a young man!"

I don't understand, my foot! I've been set up. I can imagine how chaotic it is outside.

"Okay, then I'll talk to Ji-eun."

"Do a good job." Shin Won-soo was in a good mood and didn't care about his unreasonable actions. "Today is a good day, a good day~"

Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Lee Ji-eun came out, drying her hair, her face flushed. "Whose call was that?"

Lin Yuan cupped her smiling face and kissed her. "It was a call from the president. He said this hotel wants us to be their spokespeople." He then took a towel and started drying her face. "I don't know what Mom was thinking. She just released the announcement without even telling us."

Lee Ji-eun closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, saying, "My mom told me there was a surprise before I boarded the plane, so it seems like this is the endorsement I'm going to get."

Thinking of this, she opened her eyes, glanced at Lin Yuan, and looked him up and down. "Hmph, being rich is really something. You can get what others dream of so easily. I'm even a little envious of you!"

Since Lin Yuan came to Seoul, her career has been getting better and better. From Sony to "Sailing" (a luxury brand), these are no less than luxury brand endorsements, and even surpass many others, since luxury brands can have multiple brand ambassadors at the same time.

These two are different. Unless the contract expires or is terminated, one guy is enough for her to live on for a long time.

"That's because I'm lucky. Being born into the right family is a skill, you know."

Lin Yuan started showing off arrogantly, making Li Zhi'en want to punch him.

"All done! Pretty good, right?"

Lee Ji-eun reached out and touched it, and it was surprisingly perfect. "Hehe, I bet you honed your skills on women, didn't you, hyung?"

Why does it smell like green tea?

Thinking of the guy from Sony, she felt a pang of jealousy. She always felt that her boyfriend was groomed by someone else, but in the end, he wasn't won over, which is why she followed him to South Korea with resentment.

Lin Yuan was too lazy to explain. When women get jealous, they won't listen to any explanations. It's faster to just take action.

He then scooped Lee Ji-eun up in his arms, his eyes brimming with spring-like joy, "Baby, it's time to rest!"

"Um."

Lee Ji-eun blushed and responded.

The lights are off, and the forgotten cell phone sits alone on the table, occasionally lighting up.

.......

Lin Yuan and Li Zhi'en didn't wake up until almost noon. Clothes were scattered everywhere, showing how intense the battle was. The smell of hormones still lingered in the air.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

The doorbell rang.

Lee Ji-eun, with her eyes closed, nudged Lin Yuan irritably, "Hmm~ Go open the door." Then she turned and fell asleep again.

Lin Yuan rubbed his head and looked through the peephole. There was a strange woman outside. He opened the door and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman bowed deeply and said solemnly, "Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Xia Yuan from the Secretariat. From now on, I will act as your agent and handle all matters for you."

It seems to be another masterpiece by my mother or father. But the fact that they were willing to transfer someone from the secretariat shows that their business skills are absolutely top-notch. I just wonder who pays their salary, since the salary of a senior secretary at Hongsheng is not low.

Xia Yuan was also secretly observing him. His neat, short hair gave him an exceptionally capable look. His well-defined features and tall, muscular physique didn't resemble those effeminate young male celebrities at all; instead, he had a Hong Kong star vibe. Especially his eyes, which reminded her of Tony Leung.

"Okay, if you don't mind, come in and sit for a while. I'll tidy up."

"OK!"

Xia Yuan entered the room and sat respectfully on the sofa.

Back in the room, Lee Ji-eun was already awake, leaning lazily against the headboard. "Who is it? I think I heard a woman's voice."

"The agent arranged by my family is a young girl."

Lin Yuan replied casually.

"All right."

A short while later, the two finished tidying up and came out.

Xia Yuan quickly stood up. "Young Master, Miss Li, good morning!"

"Hello, have you had breakfast yet?"

Lee Ji-eun said with a smile that she saw documents placed in front of Xia Yuan, which made her seem like a serious and responsible person.

"I've already eaten."

Xia Yuan replied respectfully.

Just then, the doorbell rang. She quickly went to open the door, and a staff member pushed a cart in, gently placed the breakfast down, and then left.

Taking advantage of a break in their meal, Xia Yuan prepared to report on the day's events, "Young Master, Miss Li, today we..."

"Wait!" Lin Yuan waved his hand, indicating, "The schedule? It was just announced yesterday, and we're filming today?"

"Yes!"

"But we haven't prepared anything!"

Lin Yuan was speechless. He understood that the spokesperson issue could not possibly have been orchestrated by his mother; there must be someone else behind it.

"But....."

Xia Yuan wanted to explain, but Lin Yuan took out his phone, so she swallowed her words.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Yuan started cursing, "Damn it, Lin Wei, are you out of your mind? I just arrived yesterday, and you want me to finish filming today? Even if you're going to hang yourself, at least give me some time to prepare!"

On the other end of the phone was Lin Wei, the eldest son of Hong Sheng, the person in charge of "Sailboat", and Lin Yuan's older brother.

In the office, Lin Wei rubbed his temples in frustration. "The company has its arrangements. Just follow them. Besides, it's a fun-filled shoot, so it'll only take a day. Are you satisfied now?"

Sometimes he was grateful to have such a younger brother who didn't fight for the family fortune, only wanted pocket money, and even skipped work to chase after celebrities.

Now I finally have a decent job and a nice girlfriend, but I still haven't shaken off my laziness.

Lin Yuan realized his mistake as soon as he heard this, and his voice became softer. "Hehe, brother~" he said in a flattering tone. Li Zhi'en and Xia Yuan, who were standing next to him, covered their mouths, afraid that they would not be able to hold it in.

"Don't disgust me, I'm hanging up now."

Lin Wei said impatiently.

"That's all, that's all, you're busy!"

Before hanging up, he specifically told him to take Lee Ji-eun out for dinner that evening, which would be a way for her to meet his family in advance. This made Lee Ji-eun very nervous.

She put down her rice bowl and went straight into her room, changing her clothes one outfit after another. She not only asked Lin Yuan for advice, but also dragged Xia Yuan into the room.

Lin Yuan stopped her: "Don't rush, there's still plenty of time, and tonight is a family dinner, there's no need to be so nervous, just dress normally."

His eyes were getting sore from looking at her, so he could only try to calm her down first. Otherwise, given her current condition, the shoot might take forever.

"Okay, fine!"
