Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 69 New Mission

Throughout the entire discussion, Zhou Wenzhe remained silent and offered no opinions. He expressed strong approval of Han Chengmin's handling of the matter.

Of course, if Jennie insists on continuing the relationship, he will support her, but since she gave up first, she can't blame anyone else.

This also shows that she is indifferent to this relationship, and may just be looking for something new.

Female celebrities are so busy with work, they always need an outlet for their emotions.

"President Han, you go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to them," Zhou Wenzhe said.

"OK."

Han Sungmin stood up and walked out of the conference room. As soon as he left, he picked up the phone and called BLACKPINK's manager to his office.

After the meeting room door was closed again, Zhou Wenzhe leaned back in his chair, smiled at the four girls, and said, "Alright, relax a bit."

Upon hearing this, all three of them, except for Jennie Kim, relaxed and stopped sitting so formally.

"Jennie, tell us your true thoughts," Zhou Wenzhe said, looking at Jennie.

"That was my honest thought just now."

"Are you sure? If you want to back out now, I can talk to President Han on your behalf."

"No need, I've already made up my mind." Jennie's tone was firm.

"Alright then."

Zhou Wenzhe made a nonchalant gesture, then looked at Kim Jisoo and said, "Jisoo, there's a TV series in the script you looked at last time that's about to start filming and they're casting. I think there's a role that would be quite suitable for you. Would you like to give it a try?"

"What role is it?" Kim Jisoo immediately perked up, her eyes shining as she looked at Zhou Wenzhe.

"Your role isn't very big; it's more like a cameo, so it won't interfere with your other schedules."

"Okay, when?"

"I'll talk to your agent in a bit, and then you can go for an audition."

"Okay, sure." Kim Jisoo looked happy. Ever since her cameo role in the drama "The Producers" before her debut, she had never had the chance to act again.

"This is a big production, and the screenwriters are the Hong sisters, so you'd better seize this opportunity."

"Really? Yes, I'll definitely try my best." Hearing this, Kim Ji-soo became even more excited. If no one else was around, she would definitely go over and give Zhou Wenzhe a deep kiss.

The other three listened to the conversation and all showed expressions of envy, especially Jennie, whose jealousy of Jisoo deepened, and she felt a sense of injustice from fate.

Why should I...?

"Alright, you guys go do what you need to do. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Zhou Wenzhe stood up and, before leaving, made a "make a phone call" gesture towards Kim Jisoo.

After he left, the four people left in the meeting room looked at each other.

"Unnie, are you really going to break up?" Park Chaeyoung looked at Kim Jennie with concern, knowing that making such a decision was very difficult.

"Yes, I had anticipated this situation a while ago, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

The two have only been in a relationship for less than a month, and given their busy work schedules, they have only gone on two dates so far and are still in the "holding hands" stage.

"So how are you going to tell him?"

"To be honest, it all depends on what SM Entertainment decides now."

. . .

At the same time, several senior executives from SM Entertainment and the parties involved were also meeting to discuss how to handle the matter.

During the discussion, President Kim Young-min received a call from Han Sung-min.

The two talked on the phone for two minutes and set the tone for the matter.

After hanging up the phone, Kim Young-min told the people in the conference room about YG Entertainment's decision.

After hearing this, Kai was very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.

His biggest regret now is that he hasn't succeeded yet, which is a bit of a loss. He should have made his move sooner. But there's still a chance. Aren't they going to announce their breakup in a month?

. . .

Then we went back to the YG Entertainment conference room.

"Jisoo unnie, Mooncheol oppa is so good to you." Lisa looked at Kim Jisoo with envy. This unnie is not only beautiful, but also so lucky to have such a capable friend.

She is unaware that Kim Jisoo and Zhou Wenzhe are dating, and Park Chaeyoung is also unaware; both of them still believe that the two are just friends. The only one who knows about this is Kim Jennie.

Kim Jisoo didn't know how to respond to this question, so she just smiled and brushed it off.

"Yeah, it's so enviable," Jennie said, her tone a little sarcastic.

She was the one who gave Kim Jisoo advice back then, but in the end, she wasn't even willing to say a word for herself.

Are they even sisters?

Everyone else could tell that Jennie's tone was off, but they only assumed she was still angry about the company making her break up with her boyfriend, and didn't think of anything else.

Kim Ji-soo thought so too, so she didn't argue with her.

A little while later, their agent arrived and took them away from the company.

. . .

Over the next few days, Zhou Wenzhe visited several entertainment companies in which Tianyi Capital held shares. However, these companies did not focus on actors; they only had a few idols who had transitioned into acting.

Even so, he still let these people audition; something is better than nothing.

Finally, Zhou Wenzhe joined SM Entertainment.

This is his second time here.

Last time, I attended the board meeting as an independent director.

At the council meeting, Kim Young-min tried to give him a more substantial position, but he refused outright.

To be honest, Zhou Wenzhe didn't have a good impression of SM Entertainment, mainly because of the negative information he heard about the company from Son Seungwan.

The reason for holding its shares, besides being somewhat of a bargain hunter, was also to help Son Seung-wan if a suitable opportunity arose.

He did like YG Entertainment to directly control SM Entertainment, but that would be too difficult.

SM Entertainment's largest shareholder is its founder, Lee Soo-man, who holds 18.46% of the shares. The remaining shares are held by large companies in South Korea and Japan, as well as by the South Korean National Pension Service, which together account for approximately 47.28%.

Furthermore, this entertainment company has political affiliations, so there's little need for the government to control it.

Tianyi Capital's 4.9% stake makes it the fourth largest shareholder of SM Entertainment.

When Jin Yingmin learned that Zhou Wenzhe had come, she warmly invited him to her office. After learning the purpose of his visit, she also actively called the head of the company's actors department.

SM Entertainment does have a few professional actors, but most of them are former idols who transitioned into acting, such as Yoona and Sulli.

After finishing the discussion, Zhou Wenzhe didn't linger and got up to take his leave, declining Jin Yingmin's offer to see him off.

Just as he took the elevator to the parking lot, he suddenly heard a girl crying not far away.

Following the sound, I found a young girl crouching in the corner, her head buried in her legs, her body trembling as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Are you alright?" Zhou Wenzhe asked with concern.

Hearing the voice, the girl was startled. She looked up and saw a man she had never seen before.

At first glance, she thought he was very handsome and wondered if he was a new trainee at the company. Then she scolded herself for thinking such nonsense at a time like this.

"I'm fine," the girl replied timidly.

Zhou Wenzhe patted his pockets; he didn't have any tissues, but he did have a handkerchief in the breast pocket of his suit. He took it out and handed it to him, saying, "Wipe your tears."

"Thank you." The girl took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears.

After wiping, she said, "Let me wash this handkerchief clean before giving it to you. How can I give it to you?"

"Keep it."

Zhou Wenzhe smiled, then turned to leave.

Just then, the system notification sounded.

"Ding! A new task has been assigned to you by the system. Please check it."

Ok?

Another mission?

Could it be... related to this girl?

Zhou Wenzhe turned back to look at the girl.

He also checked the latest task he had received.
