Chapter 38 Angry Cabbage
"Lin Yuan, you're something else! You rejected the girls I introduced you to, so you only want to date people right under your nose, huh?"
Lin Tian called early in the morning, expressing his sympathy for Li Zhi'en and portraying Lin Yuan as utterly worthless.
"Dad, I'm your son! How can you belittle your own child like that? Be careful, or I won't take care of you in your old age!"
Lin Yuan was not one to be bullied, and immediately retorted.
However, "threat" might be a more appropriate word to describe it.
Lin Tian was furious when he heard his words. All his years of self-control were useless at this moment. He shouted into the microphone, "How dare you talk like that, brat? If I were relying on you, I would have starved to death long ago."
"Oh right, right, right. If you don't expect anything from me, then you can expect something from Lee Ji-eun. You can give her all your assets, and if I marry her, they'll all be mine anyway."
!!!
"Ahhh, Lin Yuan!"
"what!"
"I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!"
"Tch, you should use that energy to make more money. Goodbye!"
Lin Yuan slammed the phone down, and before he did, he heard his father's angry voice. But none of that mattered. The old man's physical condition was probably better than his own, so there was no need to worry about him getting sick from anger. But how did they know that I was dating Lee Ji-eun?
Could it be that there's a monitoring app on your phone?
He slapped his forehead, realizing he was almost driven mad with anger. The phone was bought by Lee Ji-eun, so there was definitely no problem with it.
Attorney Zhang?
That's impossible; he had no idea about it at all.
Then it can only be... godmother Lee Boo-jin.
Thinking of this, he picked up the phone to make the call, but then changed his mind and decided against it.
It's good that her parents know. If they need money later, they can just ask Li Zhi'en. The old couple likes her the most.
"Perfect!!!"
He went back to the room and woke up Lee Ji-eun. The two ate some millet porridge with xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and then began their day's itinerary—to promote at the Sony store and to film GG (Girl) with sake.
517 Tehran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - Hyundai Department Store Duty Free Shop
As a shopping mall complex under a long-established conglomerate, it brings together luxury brands from all over the world, with a total area of over 14000 square meters, making it one of the top shopping districts in South Korea.
Following the staff and bodyguards, we arrived at the 10th floor of the mall, which was filled with home appliances, cartoon merchandise, and so on. Because of LuMin's arrival, the place was now packed with people.
The aisle was crowded with young men and women, holding up various Lee Ji-eun merchandise, and Lin Yuan's name could be seen scattered among them.
The two walked up to Sony's display case, smiling and waving to everyone. IU (Lim Won) said, "Annyeonghaseyo, LuMin!"
"I am Lin Yuan. Welcome to Sony's new product booth. Thank you."
"I'm IU. Thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy your shopping."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of fans shouted.
IU! IU! IU!
LuMin! LuMin! LuMin!
Lin Yuan!
I guessed it; after all, he's good for nothing except his looks.
Whatever, I don't care!
Lin Yuan could only console himself with this thought. After all, a good man doesn't fight with his fans, who are the main consumers in the future and his bread and butter.
The two then introduced the new product and announced that they would be giving away Sony's new camera as a gift to several fans during the premiere that evening.
This scene was quickly captured by reporters and onlookers, and then posted on various websites, forums, and fan groups, causing Sony's official website in South Korea to crash for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal.
.....
Inside the car, Lin Yuan gulped down water. He had spoken more in one day than he had in a month, and his throat was parched.
Manager Bae Yong-joon looked at the data in his hand, his smile growing even brighter. "Xiao Yuan, Zhi En, while you were doing the promotions, Sony's pre-orders increased by 20% compared to usual. Some people at offline stores even doubled the price just to buy the new products you two are endorsing. You guys are amazing!"
Bae Yong-joon was overjoyed. He was going to receive a lot more in bonuses, and he would work even harder to repay Lim Won for refusing his second manager.
"Bro, let's not even talk about how much Sony made. I'm starving! Let's find somewhere to eat!"
Lee Ji-eun was amused by his appearance. She looked him up and down, shook her head, and made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound, looking at him with disdain.
!!!
Holy crap, is this woman challenging me again?
It looks like another fierce battle is coming tonight. Lin Yuan took out his phone, found a "product store", placed an order for the best-selling product, Meng Meng, and sent the screenshot to Li Zhi'en.
"Ah-du~"
Lee Ji-eun looked at him suspiciously, then opened her phone under his gaze. After seeing the picture, she immediately turned off the screen, her face flushed crimson. "You pervert!"
Fortunately, Bae Yong-joon broke the deadlock by saying, "Let's go eat grilled black pork. I know a really good restaurant that's not far ahead."
"OK, let's go!"
Lin Yuan shouted happily.
Meanwhile, in SM's dressing room, Ryderbabe's manager sneaked in, handed Bae Joo-hyun a box, and left.
Bae Joo-hyun glanced around and, seeing that the other members weren't paying attention, secretly hid the box in her canvas bag.
She was startled when she turned around and saw four faces in front of her. "Ah!!!" she jumped up, her voice shrill.
"Oh, a rough estimate is tiring?"
She patted her chest, calming herself down a bit.
"Hehe, what were you doing just now, unnie? Did you hide something delicious?"
"Maknae Kim Yerin said with a grin, her eyes fixed on the bag behind her, which looked incredibly tempting."
The other three nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, unnie, if you have something good, you should share it with everyone."
Kang Seulgi was about to reach for it when she spoke.
*Smack!*
"Aww~"
Bae Joo-hyun slapped her hand away and said with a shifty look in her eyes, "They're just some personal items, not food." Then she urged them to continue practicing, completely unaware that the maknae had quietly crept up behind her.
Taking advantage of the moment, Kim Ye-rin opened her backpack, took out a square box, and exclaimed, "Yeah, I got it!"
The three of them immediately surrounded it, ready to take it apart.
Tearing open the outer packaging, the camera's image came into view, and the four were instantly disappointed.
"What? I thought it was something delicious~" Kim Ye-rin handed it to Kang Seul-gi with little interest.
Bae Joo-hyun then realized what was happening, snatched the bag back, and walked out with a cold expression.
"Oh my god, it's all your fault, Kim Ye-rin! Unnie is really angry this time, what are we going to do?"
Kang Seulgi immediately tensed up. She should have known better than to go along with their nonsense. This time, her unnie wasn't even saying a word. She was doomed.
Even the usually oblivious Kim Ye-rin was a little scared. She clung to Son Seung-wan's arm and said pitifully, "Unnie, what should we do? I... I'm not going to get beaten up, am I?"
"Don't panic, I'll go see what's going on." She paused, "Don't ever do something like this again, or I won't be able to help you next time."
"Thank you, unnie!"
