The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

Chapter 131 Lee Ho-yong in the Eyes of Fans

"Sorry, Chairman, Old Park is drunk and we can't wake him up!"

After finally getting through on the phone, it was Old Park's wife who answered.

"Forget it, let him rest!"

Li Haorong frowned and hung up the phone.

Can't wake him up? Even if you woke him up right now, I wouldn't dare let him come over!

After drinking, he drove 400 kilometers round trip. Was he taking Ham Eun-jung home or back to her hometown?

"Is he not coming?"

Seeing the dejected look in Ham Eun-jung's eyes, Lee Ho-young changed his "yes" to "If he can't take her, I will!"

He had originally planned to have one of his employees deliver the car, but then he thought that these guys didn't drive much and their driving skills were really questionable!

I might as well do it myself; it'll only take a few hours anyway!

Besides, he ate her sashimi and ruined the girl's birthday, so he should make it up to her!

"That would be too much trouble for you, let's just forget about it!"

Ham Eun-jung waved her hands repeatedly.

"It's settled then. If you've finished eating, we'll set off now!"

Lee Ho-young didn't give Ham Eun-jung a chance to refuse and turned back to his private room.

Back in the private room, looking at Lee Juri, who was also celebrating her birthday today, Lee Haorong said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I—"

"Sorry, Oppa, I'm planning to stay with Boram tonight, so I won't be able to keep you company!"

However, before Li Haorong could speak, Li Juli spoke first.

"Go ahead!"

He was particularly moved when he heard the last three words, "Li Juli," and immediately went over to hug her and kissed her.

"ah!"

Jeon Boram, who was standing to the side, was startled by Lee Ho-young's sudden action and quickly covered her mouth.

Lee Juri pulled away, saying shyly, "There are children watching!"

"Hey, Lee Ji-hyun, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Upon hearing Lee Qri's words, Jeon Boram was so angry that her fists clenched!

"Please drive carefully!"

"Please drive carefully!"

Lee Ho-young started the car, and Lee Qri outside the window gave him some instructions, while Shin Se-kyung next door was also giving Ham Eun-jung some instructions.

Don't worry!

Don't worry!

The two of them replied in unison.

"Remember to call me when you get home!"

"Inside!"

Through the car window, Ham Eun-jung squeezed Shin Se-kyung's hand tightly.

Finally, the car slowly drove onto the road and gradually blended into the bustling streets of Seoul.

Since this was only the second time the two had met and they were not familiar with each other, there was a moment of silence in the car.

"Your friend is very worried about you, but you're not worried at all?"

In the end, it was Li Haorong who spoke first.

"Yes, she doesn't know you, but I do!"

Ham Eun-jung replied.

"You know me? Just because we met once?"

Li Haorong felt that this girl was too naive. What good is meeting her once?

"Ani, I know you're the president of Mars Technology, you're not a bad person!"

Now it was Li Haorong's turn to be surprised.

"I've rarely appeared on television lately, how did you recognize me?"

As a rising star in the Korean internet scene, he rarely appears in front of the camera, far fewer than other internet moguls both domestically and internationally.

After all, most internet business owners like to package themselves as a business card, becoming part of the company's overall marketing strategy.

This kind of natural publicity is actually very effective, such as in Malaysia before, and now with Lei Jun.

But Li Haorong was unwilling to do so.

He knew he couldn't avoid this kind of thing; as his company grew bigger and bigger, he would eventually become a public figure like a celebrity.

No matter what I do or where I go, I'll be followed by a group of people!

Knowing it was inevitable, he could only let freedom linger on him a little longer.

"Yes, I have a friend who's a fan of yours!"

"Huh? A fan? What does she like about me?"

These words sounded familiar to Li Haorong.

Although he knew that he had a fan club on Mars.net, he had never paid attention to it. He never expected to actually meet a live one!

"I think you're amazing! From a Seoul National University graduate, you created the largest social networking site on the Korean Peninsula in just one year. You're practically the Zuckerberg of the Korean Peninsula!"

When Ham Eun-jung said these words, her tone was soft and sweet, and she sounded very sincere, which made Lee Ho-young feel extremely comfortable.

At that moment, he understood Lee Kun-hee's happiness.

"Hahaha—Zuckerberg is out of the question, I'm more handsome than him!"

"Yeah, I think so too!"

At this moment, Ham Eun-jung seemed to realize something and quickly said, "My friend thinks so too!"

Ham Eun-jung's superfluous explanation only made Lee Ho-young wonder if the girl was "making friends out of thin air."

?

However, he didn't delve into it further, instead asking, "So what do they usually talk about me about?"

"There are too many examples to list. For instance, how you achieved great success with limited resources, defeating internet giants like Naver and conglomerates like SK Group!"

There's also the rumor about you and Lee Yoon-hyung. It's said that when you were in New York, you rescued her, making her fall for you, and Samsung Chairman Lee opposed you being together because of this.

However, for love, Miss Li broke free from family constraints and resolutely decided to fight alongside you.

Hearing Ham Eun-jung ramble on about her story, Lee Ho-young felt extremely ashamed!

"Where did you hear all this from?"

"In your fan group, someone is serializing a novel called 'The Daily Romance of a Poor Rich Man and a Tycoon Princess'!"

"People actually write novels?"

"Yes, it's so beautiful!"

Li Haorong felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind. He never thought that one day someone would write a fan fiction about him.

I actually found myself curious to see what was going on.

However, while curious, Li Haorong also became more vigilant.

Although the plot that Ham Eun-jung just described is very different from reality, much of what it contains is true.

Outsiders could never know such a thing. Could the novelist be someone right next to you?

As the two started talking about Lee Ho-young, Ham Eun-jung also opened up. Lee Ho-young happened to be quite curious about this as well, so he deliberately encouraged her to talk more.

The two chatted all the way, completely unaware of the passage of time.

Two hours later, when the car reached Gangneung, Ham Eun-jung realized that she was home!

Ham Eun-jung's parents run a sashimi shop located in Joomunjin-eup, north of Gangneung City.

Facing the Pacific Ocean, this place is rich in seafood. Although it's not a popular tourist destination, many people from the peninsula come here to dive, enjoy the sea, and eat seafood.

It was already past 10 p.m., and it was winter, so there were very few guests on the beach.

The restaurants here are also starting to pack up and close, and Xianba and Xianma are cleaning up inside the store.

"Dad, Mom!"

Just then, her daughter's voice suddenly came from outside.

The couple looked up and exchanged a glance, both thinking they had misheard, since the girl was still in Seoul!

But the next second, they saw their daughter appear at the door.
