Peninsula: The Great Producer

"Congratulations PD Qi"

Congratulations to PD Kim!

After the 2009 K Broadcasting Station Music Festival came to an end, the backstage of the broadcasting station was crowded with people. Ki Yo-gu, Kim Sang-mi, and PD Choi walked side by side, and everyone they met gave them sincere congratulations.

However, the absence of Choi PD in this congratulation made him look very happy.

The ratings and other data must be out, and there was some envy in the eyes of those people when they looked at Ki Yo-gu and Kim Sang-mi.

On the third floor, the Arts Center office.

PD Choi followed Ki Yo-gu and Kim Sang-mi towards the director's office.

He originally wanted to go home from get off work, change his clothes and leave, but Jin Xiangmei stopped him and told him not to be childish.

Dong dong dong

Director Park Jong-min's response came from the office.

Pushing the door open, three people stood at the door and no one stepped forward.

At this time, Director Park Jong-min was standing behind his desk and dancing. Yes, dancing, which made Qi Yaojiu and the other two unable to do anything.

"Here I come. Thank you for your hard work."

PD Kim Sang-mi and PD Choi bowed and nodded, then said, "Director-nim, the Song Festival has concluded successfully. We can now leave work."

"It's time to get off work, PD Jin. You can leave whenever you want. I believe you have completed your work very well. So, you will have a vacation starting tomorrow. Five days is enough, right? Go out and travel to relax."

PD Choi was about to say he wanted a reward too, but Director Park Jong-min said, "PD Choi, remember to assist PD Kim Nam with filming the Drama Awards ceremony tomorrow."

Director Park Jong-min's gaze finally fell on Ki Yo-gu, and his smile grew even brighter as he slowly said, "PD Ki's reward will be in your bank account within a week at the latest."

Qi Yaojiu liked to hear this. Hard work is for money, and everything will be easy once the money is in place.

Director Park Jong-min had been trying to invite Ki Yo-gu for a drink, but ultimately failed.

PD Choi went to change his clothes. In the big office, PD Kim Sang-mi said to Ki Yo-gu, "You got the bonus and you're sending me away without even a cup of coffee."

Qi Yaojiu spread his hands and said, "I asked PD Jin to have a midnight snack together, but it was PD Jin who didn't want to go."

"Forget about the midnight snack. I don't want to make those little girls jealous."

"???"

"Don't pretend. Anyway, I've informed everyone that the Music Bank production team dinner will be paid for by you, PD Ki Yo-gu."

Qi Yaojiu nodded happily.

The production team of "Music Bank" is the one responsible for tonight's music festival. As the main person in charge, it is only natural for Qi Yaojiu to treat everyone, which can also be said to be a celebration banquet.

In front of PD Kim Sang-mi's desk, Kim Sang-mi looked at Ki Yo-gu suspiciously and asked, "Are you not leaving?"

Qi Yaojiu almost forgot to meet Li Zhien at the old place.

Once again, Qi Yaojiu felt that he should get a driver's license and buy a car as soon as possible because it was really difficult to get a taxi when there were too many people.

He is not a celebrity, but the lucky fans who came to K Broadcasting Station to cheer him on tonight recognized Qi Yaojiu standing on the roadside waiting for the bus at a glance.

He was immediately surrounded by a crowd of girls. Qi Yaojiu had no idea what they were chattering about, but he could occasionally hear the names of a few idols.

Maybe the fans are asking Ji Yaojiu to include his idol on the show, but we can only guess at this.

"Didi"

The ten-second horn sound rescued Ji Yaojiu, and Jin Xiangmei in the driver's seat beckoned Ji Yaojiu to get in the car.

As they left the K Broadcasting Station headquarters, Kim Sang-mi, who was driving, jokingly said, "Did you stay here just now just because you wanted me to be your driver?"

Qi Yaojiu had just washed his seat belt and shrugged helplessly, "No, really. I thought I'd have to wait for the bus, but I didn't expect so many people."

“You’re not buying a car?”

“Still learning to drive”

"Where to go?"

"Three City Cave"

On the way, Kim Sang-mi and Ki Yo-jiu didn't say a word.

When they arrived near Samseong-dong, Kim Sang-mi spoke again, and said while shaking Ki Yo-jiu: "PD Ki, wake up, where exactly is Samseong-dong?" Ki Yo-jiu, with his head leaning against the car window, slowly opened his eyes.

He really fell asleep.

It was cold outside, the air conditioner was on in the car, and Qi Yaojiu had been busy all day, so even an iron man couldn't stand it.

However, this short sleep really worked. After waking up, Qi Yaojiu asked Jin Xiangmei to take him to the former location of Bong'en Village in Samseong-dong.

Qi Yaojiu got off the car at the intersection.

At this time, Bongeun Village in Samseong-dong was undergoing redevelopment, and the roadsides looked very bad. Kim Sang-mi was curious and asked Ki Yo-jiu, "Don't tell me you live here?"

Qi Yaojiu shook his head and said, "I lived here for a while when I first came to Seoul, and now I've moved to LT Apartment."

"I told you PD Qi shouldn't be the type to endure hardship. Oh, I forgot, we have a date tonight. Go ahead. Bye."

Kim Sang-mi was really free and easy. After she finished speaking, she drove away.

Qi Yaojiu smiled.

In fact, it is a good thing to be friends with someone like Kim Sang-mi who has a free and easy personality.

After crossing the road and walking about two hundred meters along the residential alley on the right, the familiar red cloth-tent carriage appeared in Qi Yaojiu's sight.

After lifting the door curtain and entering the tent, Qi Yaojiu glanced around and didn't see Li Zhien. He subconsciously ordered food: "Auntie, a bowl of udon noodles and a serving of spicy fried squid."

"Okay, find a place to sit."

"Another bottle of soju and a bottle of beer."

"it is good."

The seat was the old seat in the upper right corner of the tent. Qi Yaojiu, who was wiping the table and stool with a tissue, suddenly looked up and saw Li Zhien, wrapped in a long down jacket, standing in front of him.

"It's coming"

"I arrived a long time ago and just went to the bathroom."

"Have you ordered food?"

“I ordered a bowl of udon noodles and a plate of spicy fried squid.”

Putting the tissue on the table, Qi Yaojiu asked, "You didn't order this for me, did you?"

"yes"

"You don't want to eat?"

Li Zhien replied: "I just want to eat a bite of udon noodles."

This confused Qi Yaojiu, and he continued to ask, "Why?"

Li Zhien hesitated, "I'm going to film a TV series soon. The people in the company said that the camera shots for TV series are different from those for variety shows and music performances, so I have to take good care of my skin and figure."

Qi Yaojiu swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He wanted to refute, but IU was right. The TV series' camera shots were higher definition, and there were no automatic face-slimming or waist-slimming functions.

But when did Lee Ji-eun start to care so much about her screen image?

When it comes to food, Lee Ji-eun doesn’t care so much.

The aunt brought udon noodles and spicy fried squid to the table. Li Zhien saw two identical portions and quickly waved her hand and said, "I really don't want to eat it."

Without waiting for Ki Yo-gu to say anything, Lee Ji-eun emphasized, "Oppa can finish it by himself, I trust Oppa."

Qi Yaojiu put the udon in front of him. Eat it? He couldn't do it.

But since I couldn't let the food go to waste, I asked, "Does managing my body and skin have anything to do with eating a bowl of udon noodles?"

"Yes, eating noodles will make you bloated."

"It's not like the TV set will start filming tomorrow."

"Yes but……"

"By the way, I have something else to tell you. To be more precise, I have a favor to ask of you."

The air suddenly became quiet. After a few seconds, Lee Ji-eun pointed at herself with an incredulous look on her face: "Oppa, you have something to ask of me? Me? You? Please?" (End of this chapter)
