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

"Knock knock knock..."

Li Haorong can now be considered a president, and he was seen chopping vegetables in the kitchen with his suit off, wearing a sweater and an apron over his clothes. He looked quite pleasing to the eye.

The two beauties, Lee Yoon-hyung and Lee Ji-hyun, leaned against the kitchen door on either side, quietly watching him cook; it was quite a sight to behold.

Li Haoyang withdrew his gaze, glanced at the news broadcast on television, and sighed:

"This world is so unkind to ugly people!"

After cutting the meat, Li Haorong finally looked up at the two girls:

"What are you all doing standing here? Go sit in the living room!"

"I didn't know you could actually cook!"

Coming to her senses, Li Yinxin blushed slightly.

There was no way around it; Li Haorong's performance just now was just too cool, and her heart was still pounding.

She'd never seen a handsome guy who could cook before!

"Of course! I learned it from a Chinese classmate when I was studying in the United States!"

This is one of Li Haorong's old excuses, and now it works so well that even he himself is starting to believe it.

In fact, he honed his cooking skills by cooking for his younger sister in his previous life.

After my younger sister passed away, I did it much less often.

"What kind of Chinese food did you make?"

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, mapo tofu, tomato and egg, hot and sour shredded potatoes, smashed cucumber, and a seaweed soup!"

Li Haorong wiped his hands with his apron, a very professional gesture, and pointed to several dishes.

There were four people eating, so Li Haorong didn't cook too much. He made six dishes and a soup, which was just enough to get by.

After all, it's been too long since I've done this, and my skills have become a bit rusty.

However, he clearly underestimated the peninsula people's susceptibility to simplistic views.

Even the worldly-wise Li Yinxin's gaze towards Li Haorong changed at this moment:

"You're not a chef, are you?"

After all, these are six hot dishes, not six kimchi!

In the Peninsula, six kimchi dishes would be considered a sumptuous meal, right?

"Who do you think I am as a chef? Alright, you guys get out of here, I'm going to cook, so you don't get all fumes from the cooking!"

With that, Li Haorong told the two of them to leave, and then closed the kitchen door.

Soon after, the two stood outside the kitchen and saw Li Haorong tossing the wok. They couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"Is there anything this man can't do?"

-----------------

"Dinner is ready!"

As Li Haorong brought out the last dish, cola chicken wings, the table was already full of plates.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Oppa, you can actually make chicken wings with cola?"

Looking at the last dish, Li Zhixian couldn't help but ask.

At work, he calls her Chairman; in private, he calls her Oppa. Lee Ji-hyun is used to this switching.

"Of course, try it!"

Lee Ho-young spoke to Lee Ji-hyun in a doting tone.

Even though he knew that Li Zhixian was not his sister, Li Haorong still couldn't help but want to spoil her; it seemed to have become a habit, an instinct, for him.

"Oh, shouldn't I try it first?"

However, his tone displeased Li Yinxin.

Although Li Haorong had nothing to do with her, Li Yinxin was still unhappy, and she vented her unhappiness directly.

"Alright, you all go ahead and eat!"

Li Haorong didn't think much of it, after all, Li Yinxin always acted like this in front of him, pampered and spoiled.

"Mmm, delicious!"

"Your cooking skills are just as good as those professional chefs. I'm going to come over for meals every day from now on!"

Both women were praising Li Haorong, while Li Haoyang remained silent and focused on his work!

"What are you thinking? I work so hard every day, and then I still have to cook for you when I get home!"

"Then once a week, no less!"

Li Yinxin took a step back.

"Alright, let's check the time!"

This time, Li Haorong did not refuse!

"I want to freeload too!"

Lee Ji-hyun suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"Sure, you can come whenever you want!"

Li Haorong naturally tolerated Li Zhixian unconditionally.

Seeing that Li Haorong agreed to her request so readily, Li Zhixian was overjoyed, but she soon noticed the way Li Yinxin was looking at her.

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly, instantly making the atmosphere at the dinner table awkward.

Even though Li Haorong was slow to react, he still sensed that something was wrong.

So he reached out and smacked Li Haoyang on the head while he was eating rice.

"Brother, why did you hit me?"

Li Haoyang raised his head blankly, with grease from the ribs still around his mouth.

What have you been busy with lately?

"Get to work! You have no idea how many people have been asking me to write songs lately!"

Li Haoyang said arrogantly.

Li Haorong's tactic of diverting trouble was very effective; both Li Yinxin and Li Zhixian were drawn in by Li Haoyang's words.

"By the way, Haoyang, you're a music producer!"

Lee Ji-hyun was still very interested in this topic.

Although Li Zhixian's life wasn't as hard after meeting Li Haorong, she was, after all, a drama student, and still longed for the entertainment industry.

What song did you write?

At this point, Li Yinxin also began to pay real attention to Li Haoyang.

(Li Haoyang: I've been here for three hours already!)

"My song 'Sorry' is on Jang Woo-hyuk's recent album!"

"Wow, that's amazing! I heard this album sold really well!"

Li Zhixian was very good at supporting him, providing Li Haoyang with ample emotional support.

Li Haoyang in front of me was so droopy that his lips were turned upside down.

"It's alright. Their company originally planned to release 7 albums first to observe the market reaction."

Unexpectedly, all 7 records were sold out on the day of release, and their company was bombarded with calls from all over the country for additional orders!

Now, Jang Woo-hyuk is preparing to release his second album, and he's still invited me to write songs!

"Wow, Haoyang is that amazing?"

Li Zhixian looked at Li Haoyang with admiration.

"Haha, it's alright, just a little bit stronger."

"Can I become a singer?"

"You want to be a singer?"

"Yes, I really like rock music!"

Lee Ji-hyun nodded.

"Well……"

Li Haoyang found it hard to imagine what it would be like to have such a cute girl like Li Zhixian associated with a rock band.

"I see. There aren't many female rock bands in China right now, but I can keep an eye out for you. If any company has band projects planned in the future, I'll let you know!"

"Yes, thank you, Brother Haoyang!"

Seeing that the two had finally finished talking, Li Haorong was finally able to interject:

"Haoyang, what big things have happened in the entertainment industry lately?"

"Big news? That's definitely SM Entertainment's new boy group, Super Junior!"

Upon hearing this name, Li Haorong's eyes lit up; he knew about this group from his previous life.

He even knows their song "Sorry Sorry," which is so catchy that even a passing fly would want to rub it up!

"Is this group very popular lately?"

"Why are you so angry? You're being cursed to death!"

"How could this happen?"

"Brother, you don't know, this is just a group made up of trainees who didn't make it into TVXQ. It's probably just a temporary group; I heard they'll disband in three months!"

Hearing Li Haoyang's explanation, Li Haorong was filled with doubt.

Because in the year he traveled through time, he came across a video of the group's 20th anniversary online.

If this group is really as bad as Li Haoyang said, how could it still have a 20th anniversary?

"You mean TVXQ is more popular than Super Junior?"

"That's way too popular!"

A thought struck Li Haorong: the traffic generated by the entertainment industry for Mars.com made him realize that he might be able to speed things up a bit.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea:

"Haoyang, do you know Lee Soo-man from SM Entertainment?"

"Yes, I know him!"

Li Haorong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said:

"Could you introduce me to him?"

"cannot!"

Why?

"Because he doesn't know me!"

"...I'm your brother, you'd better not make fun of me!"

Seeing Li Haorong's clenched fist, Li Haoyang quickly said:

"But I know someone, and he definitely knows!"
