Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

Car accidents happen every day; it's nothing unusual, nor is it particularly frightening.

But immediately after the crash, two more cars came and blocked you from the front and back, and then a group of men got out of the cars and surrounded you.

The scariest thing is that these people are vicious and have no intention of listening to your explanation; they just yank open the car door and pull you out.

As a girl, are you afraid?
Tell me, isn't this terrifying?
Park Soo-young was terrified!

She couldn't understand why she was so unlucky! As a member of Red Velvet, she had only been in the industry for a little over a year when leader Bae Joo-hyun became pregnant.

Bae Joo-hyun is the core of their team, and with Bae Joo-hyun taking a break, their team's number of appearances has dropped sharply.

Furthermore, since Bae Joo-hyun, their core member, is no longer with them, SM Entertainment won't release a new album for them.

Now, the idiots just find them some jobs individually, and when they don't have work, they rest.

Now, if it weren't for Li Zhixuan taking them on a month-long trip and filming a reality show last month, their team would seem to be defunct in name only!
After filming the reality show, she returned to Seoul. Once back in Seoul, Park Soo-young didn't have much work. Then, it was Lunar New Year, so she went back to her hometown on Jeju Island.

With the New Year over and no work coming in, Park Soo-young could only continue to do nothing at home.

She was so bored today that she drove out for a stroll. Suddenly, a dark shape darted out in front of her; she couldn't tell if it was a stray cat or a stray dog.

Something suddenly jumped out, startling Park Soo-young. She instinctively swerved to avoid the dark figure, and her car crashed into a car traveling normally in the opposite lane.

Later, she was cornered, and then a group of men came and menacingly pulled her out of the car.

Park Soo-young was first startled by the shadowy figure, then by the car accident, and now she's been dragged out of the car by a group of "gangsters." She was completely terrified and didn't even dare to cry. If she hadn't been being dragged, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

Just when she was in despair, thinking she had offended some gang leader and her life was about to end, she suddenly saw a familiar figure get out of the car she had hit.

"Chairman Lee! Is that you?" Park Soo-young's voice trembled, and she was almost crying.

Just as Li Zhixuan was being escorted to his car by a group of bodyguards, he suddenly heard someone call his name. Turning around, he saw it was the driver who had caused the accident.

Lee Chi-heon and Bae Joo-hyun have been together for quite some time, and Bae Joo-hyun is almost five months pregnant, but he is not familiar with the other members of Red Velvet, and has hardly ever met them before.

It was only last month, when Lee Ji-heon was filming a reality show for Red Velvet, that he became friends with the four members of Red Velvet: Son Seung-wan, Kang Seul-gi, Park Soo-young, and Kim Ye-rim.

Furthermore, Park Soo-young was wearing a hat and a mask, so Lee Ji-heon didn't recognize her at first and just walked over with some curiosity.

Seeing that it really was Lee Chi-hyun, Park Soo-young breathed a huge sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Chairman Lee, it's me, Joy Park Soo-young."

"Ah! Little Jiu'er! Let go, let go!"

"Xiao Jiu" is a nickname given to Park Soo-young by her fans in China, based on the pronunciation of her English name "Joy". Li Zhixuan thought it was nice, so he used it to address Park Soo-young.

From Bae Joo-hyun's perspective, Park Soo-young could be considered Lee Chi-heon's sister-in-law, so he told his bodyguard to release her immediately. Then he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there a problem with the car? Or were you dozing off?"

"No, no!" Park Soo-young quickly explained, "I saw a dark shadow, I don't know if it was a cat or a dog, dart out from the green belt next to me, and I got startled, so I swerved the steering wheel. I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry! How much compensation do you need?"

compensation?

Li Zhixuan asked, "Are you alright?"

"fine."

"It's good that everyone's alright. Just be more careful driving in the future. That's all, goodbye."

Li Zhixuan wasn't short of money, and besides, he couldn't accept the money for Pei Zhuxuan's sake.

Li Zhixuan could refuse, but how could Park Soo-young possibly refuse?

Seeing that Li Zhixuan was surrounded by a large group of people, she didn't dare to chase after him, so she thought she should just turn back and transfer the money to Pei Zhuxuan instead.

Furthermore, Park Soo-young discovered that Lee Ji-heon was truly wealthy; he didn't even call his insurance company after the car accident. Even if she didn't have to pay compensation, wouldn't it save on repair costs if they each went through their own insurance?
Lee Chi-hyun is gone. How can Park Soo-young contact the insurance company on her own? What should she say when the insurance company comes? Will she still be able to claim compensation?

forget it!
Park Soo-young didn't want to bother with anything else. After watching Lee Chi-heon's convoy leave, she got into her car. Since the accident wasn't serious and the car wasn't badly damaged, she planned to go home first and get it repaired tomorrow.

Not long after, Park Soo-young arrived at a private residence near the seaside pier.

She had just parked her car when an elegant middle-aged woman came out of the house.

"Oh dear! Why are you only coming back now? You've been out by yourself for so long, weren't you afraid of getting into danger? Have you had dinner yet?"

Faced with her mother's reproachful concern, Park Soo-young smiled and gave her a hug before retorting, "I grew up here, what danger could I possibly face? Where's my dad?"

"Someone wants to rent a yacht, but your dad went to work."

It's obvious that Park Soo-young's family owns a yacht rental company.

Hearing her mother's words, Park Soo-young frowned slightly, puzzled, "Couldn't the employees handle things like renting a yacht? Why did my dad have to make the trip himself?"

"This time, the client wants to rent the most luxurious yacht in your dad's company. Your dad was worried that his staff wouldn't be able to serve this client well, so he went there in person."

"so smart?"

Upon hearing that the client wanted to rent the most luxurious yacht, Park Soo-young automatically pictured Lee Ji-hyeon in her mind.

Could it be him?

"I gonna go see."

If it's Li Zhixuan, why don't we go and see for ourselves?
Park Soo-young turned to leave, but her mother immediately grabbed her: "Why can't you stay still for a moment? You've been out for half the day, and now you're joining in the fun again?"

"Oh dear! I'm just sitting at home doing nothing anyway, don't worry about it, I'll come back with my dad in a bit."

Because her home is not far from the pier, Park Soo-young didn't drive this time. She rode a bicycle and arrived at the pier in five minutes.

At this moment, a luxury yacht, nearly thirty meters long and less than eight meters wide with three decks, is moored at the dock.

Park's father and several subordinates were standing on the dock looking into the yacht, and he didn't even notice his daughter coming over.

"father!"

"Ouch!"

The sudden noise startled Mr. Park, and his first instinct was to lose his temper. But when he saw that it was his beloved daughter, he immediately calmed down and asked with a smile, "Soo-young, what brings you here?"

"I heard from my mother that there is a big client who needs your personal attention, so I came to see what kind of client is so important."

Upon hearing this, a hint of tension flashed across Park's father's face, and then he said seriously, "They are indeed a powerful client. The person in question hasn't even arrived yet, but more than a dozen bodyguards have already come to inspect the boat. They must be a big shot." "More than a dozen bodyguards?" Park Soo-young was also taken aback, and at the same time, she became even more suspicious that the person who rented this yacht was Lee Chi-heon.

In addition to inspecting the yacht, the captain and three sailors on board also need to be questioned and checked.

Half an hour later, a minivan pulled up at the dock. The bodyguards standing guard beside the yacht quickly went over to help open the car door.

Shin Yuna, Hwang Mi-young, and Lee Chi-hyun got off the bus one by one. To avoid being recognized or photographed, all three of them wore hats and masks.

After they got out of the car, bodyguards led them onto the yacht. Park's father, his men, and Park Soo-young were all blocked by the bodyguards and had no way to get close to Lee Chi-heon and the others.

Just as the three were about to board the yacht, Park Soo-young recognized Lee Chi-heon and Hwang Mi-young and quickly called out, "Tiffany unnie!"

"Ok?"

The three of them immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. Park's father also looked at his beloved daughter in surprise, and then asked in a low voice, "You know her? A friend?"

"Girls' Generation's Tipani."

After quietly explaining to her father, Park Soo-young quickly waved to Hwang Mi-young: "Tiffany unnie! It's me!"

"Oh!"

Park Soo-young's face wasn't covered, but it was dark and there wasn't much light where she was standing, so Lee Ji-heon and the others hadn't seen her.

Now that she spoke up, Li Zhixuan and the other two immediately recognized her. Huang Meiying turned around immediately, and the bodyguards wisely stopped blocking Park Xiurong.

They're all colleagues at the same company, and Girls' Generation is considered Red Velvet's senior, so they have a pretty good relationship.

The two immediately held hands and exchanged pleasantries after they came together.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan said, "Alright, let's talk on the boat!"

"Um?!"

Everyone was stunned. Shen Youna even secretly pinched Li Zhixuan's arm, then smiled, a forced smile, and said through gritted teeth in a low voice, "Scumbag oppa, what do you mean? Trying to seduce her? Have you forgotten yesterday's lesson?"

"What are you thinking, child? I'm just trying to get fishing. How could Xiao Jiu'er possibly come? If she's too embarrassed to come, then she'll definitely have to get Pani up here as soon as possible."

"Oh!" Shen Youna nodded in realization, then gave the scumbag oppa a speechless look: "I understand the logic, but why do you call her Xiao Jiu?"

"I……"

"What are you?"

Li Zhixuan tried to explain, but Shen Youna immediately transformed into a shrewish girlfriend, not giving the scumbag a chance to explain at all. She angrily said, "Little Jiu'er! How affectionate you are! You've never given me a nickname, and you still say you have no feelings for her? Humph! You can sleep with her tonight!"

"Sigh~" Li Zhixuan sighed helplessly, "She's not going to get on the ship, so what am I supposed to do with her?"

"Who said she wouldn't get on the ship? Look!"

Shen Youna was too embarrassed to point her finger, but she gave the scumbag a look that made him look down.

Li Zhixuan turned his head and exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! She really came!"

Park Soo-young would normally be too embarrassed to board the ship, but since Lee Chi-hyun invited her aboard to chat, how could she dare to refuse the chaebol's face?

So she quickly went to tell her father, and then walked towards the cruise ship with Huang Meiying.

Now that she's here, can Li Zhixuan really send her away?
Seeing that Li Zhixuan seemed quite helpless, Shen Youna, who was genuinely angry, muttered under her breath, "Stop pretending, you two are definitely having an affair. Otherwise, why would she be here?"

"Yeah! What's she doing here?"

Besides Shin Yuna and Lee Chi-hyun, Hwang Mi-young was also very curious about this question, so she immediately asked it after boarding the ship.

Upon hearing Park Soo-young's explanation, the three exclaimed in unison, "This yacht belongs to you?!"

Park Soo-young wanted to explain, but Shin Yuna didn't give her the chance.

"Oppa! How much is this yacht worth?"

Li Zhixuan knew nothing about this, but the original owner did!
He looked around and then replied, "For a new ship, it would probably cost around 12 billion."

"Wow!!!" Shin Yuna and Hwang Mi-young were surprised again. Hwang Mi-young looked at Park Soo-young with envy in her eyes: "Joy, you've been hiding your talent!"

Hwang Mi-young has been in the industry for nine years, and she has basically earned enough to buy a yacht like this. How could she not be envious?

Park Soo-young finally had a chance to speak and quickly explained, "No, this yacht doesn't belong to my family; it belongs to the company. The company has more than a dozen shareholders, and my father is only the largest shareholder, but he only owns about 30% of the shares."

"That's still amazing! We didn't know you were a rich kid before."

Hearing this, Park Soo-young couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Chairman Lee is a second-generation chaebol, so what am I, a second-generation rich kid, compared to him?"

Hwang Mi-young laughed and said, "Don't compare yourself to him. How many second-generation chaebols are there in all of South Korea? And who among them can compare to him?"

"Hmm!" Li Zhixuan chuckled, reached out and hugged Huang Meiying, kissed her, and laughed, "I love this flattery, continue."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Faced with the teasing, Hwang Mi-young immediately pushed Lee Chi-hsuan away and said coquettishly, "Go fish, don't disturb our conversation."

"okay!"

Li Zhixuan immediately got up and walked towards the stern of the boat, where there was a designated fishing spot.

Shin Yuna also wanted to go, but she didn't want to go fishing; she wanted to hook up with scumbags.

But Hwang Mi-young and Park Soo-young were chatting together, and Shin Yuna felt embarrassed to go find Lee Ji-heon alone, so she had to hold back.

After seeing Li Zhixuan leave, Park Soo-young immediately apologized to Hwang Mi-young and the other woman, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come here as a third wheel. I was a little excited when I saw you, so I greeted you. I didn't expect Chairman Li to let me on the ship."

Really good at pretending!
Shin Yuna thought to herself, while Hwang Mi-young held Park Soo-young's hand and said, "It's okay, it's more lively with more people."

As a newcomer, Shin Yuna was still quite concerned, while Hwang Mi-young, a veteran, had long since let it go.

Let alone adding Park Soo-young, it wouldn't be surprising if the entire Red Velvet group were taken in by her.
