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

Chapter 92 Stand at Attention When Getting Hit

Inside a private room at the Korean restaurant "Na Yeon" in the Shilla Hotel, four girls—Lee Soo-man, Kim Young-min, and Cheon Sang Ji-hee—are seated.

"The four of you must be humble and use your feminine charm to plead with him and ask Chairman Li for forgiveness!"

Lee Soo-man earnestly gave the four girls repeated instructions.

"We haven't offended him, so why should we apologize to him?"

As the female protagonist of that viral video, Dana retorted, sticking her neck out.

She absolutely hated Li Haorong. After the video was released, she suffered severe cyberbullying, and the malicious comments on Mars.com made her quit the internet for a time.

The thought of having to apologize and smile at him later made her feel nauseous.

"Then who do you blame? Who told you to say those things?"

This is society. If this video isn't deleted, the four of you can forget about ever having any more activities in the future!

After all, no fan wants to see their idol look down on them!

Lee Soo-man's tone suddenly turned cold, startling Dana into immediately shutting up.

They clearly forgot that Lee Soo-man's nickname is "Tyrant." Did they really think he wouldn't get angry?

"Don't worry, boss, we'll do our best!"

The others quickly assured them.

After scolding the four unfortunate girls, Lee Soo-man glanced at Kim Young-min sitting next to him.

Lee Soo-man sighed inwardly.

He knew perfectly well that the four girls were innocent and that the real culprit was Kim Young-min.

However, when Lee Soo-man mentioned apologizing to Lee Ho-young during the day, Kim Young-min sternly refused. It was only after much persuasion that he agreed to come along.

However, it's practically impossible to expect Kim Young-min to apologize to Lee Ho-young!

Therefore, we can only let Cheonji and the others suffer.

As they were talking, Li Haorong knocked on the door of the private room. Seeing so many people sitting inside, Li Haorong laughed and said, "Wow, so many people?"

"Haorong, it's been a long time!"

Lee Soo-man immediately put on a kind smile and stepped forward to hug Lee Ho-young.

"Teacher Li, I've missed you so much!"

Lee Ho-young also looked delighted and hugged Lee Soo-man tightly.

Their hypocritical behavior is so convincing that anyone who didn't know better would really think they were father and son!

"Come, come, let me introduce you. These are The Grace, SM Entertainment's best girl group!"

After releasing the hug, Lee Soo-man introduced Lee Ho-young.

"I am Stephanie!"

"I'm Lina from Shangmei!"

"I'm Zhisheng Sunday!"

"I am Joyful Dana!"

"We are Cheon Sang Ji Hee, hello Chairman Lee!"

Four young women gave Li Haorong idol-like self-introductions, leaving him utterly embarrassed.

I really don't know what kind of mental preparation they did to be able to say those words so smoothly.

"Um, hello everyone!"

Lee Ho-young nodded to the four girls, then looked at Kim Young-min.

"Hello, Chairman Li!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Kim Young-min could only greet Lee Ho-young with a forced smile.

But Li Haorong didn't reply. Instead, he looked at Li Xiuman and said, "Teacher Li, I'm only here for you today!"

"Of course, I'm extremely honored that you're giving me this much face!"

Lee Soo-man chuckled and pulled the reluctant Lee Ho-young to sit at the dining table, then invited the others to sit down as well.

It had only been six months since Li Haorong last treated Li Xiuman to dinner.

Although it's still the same hotel, this time it's Lee Soo-man who's treating me to dinner. It's true what they say, the tables have turned!

This feeling was naturally quite pleasant, but Li Haorong still humbly said, "Teacher Li, are you teasing me? In front of you, I will always be a junior!"

The two chatted happily, while the others in the private room felt extremely awkward.

As the two chatted, the waiters brought the food to the table one after another.

"I've been craving this food since I was in Japan, so I took the liberty of coming here for Korean food today. You don't mind, do you?"

Lee Soo-man smiled and gestured for Lee Ho-young to start eating.

"Of course I don't mind. It's only natural for people from the Korean Peninsula to eat Korean food!"

Of course, despite all that, Li Haorong really didn't have much of an appetite looking at the table full of kimchi.

After thinking for a while, Li Haorong spotted the ginseng chicken soup that looked pretty good and picked up a piece of chicken.

However, once you taste it, you realize that the chicken has no flavor at all.

In comparison, he misses chicken stew with mushrooms even more!

"You lot, don't just eat! Come and offer Chairman Li a toast!"

Actually, the girls barely touched their chopsticks. Just kidding, did they really think they were here to eat?

Upon hearing what Lee Soo-man said, they all picked up their wine glasses and walked towards Lee Ho-young.

"Chairman Li, I'd like to offer you a toast!"

The eldest, Lina, was the first to raise her glass to toast Li Haorong.

The Grace does not have a designated leader position. Fans generally refer to the older Lina as the leader, and she does indeed fulfill the responsibilities of a leader.

However, when several girls offered him a toast, Li Haorong put down his chopsticks but did not pick up his wine glass.

He turned to Lee Soo-man and asked, "Teacher Lee, what does this mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, just a toast!"

Lee Soo-man dodged the question.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Isn't it obvious who should apologize? Why let a few girls rush to the front?"

Lee Ho-young's words caused both Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min's expressions to change simultaneously. It seemed that trying to fool them with Cheon Sang Ji-hee was no longer an option.

Therefore, Lee Soo-man had no choice but to look at Kim Young-min.

Kim Young-min hesitated for a long time before picking up his wine glass and toasting Lee Ho-yong.

"President Li, let me offer you a toast!"

To this, Li Haorong didn't raise his glass, but continued, "What's the significance of this drink?"

"Hey, Li Haorong, don't go too far!"

Kim Young-min finally couldn't hold back any longer and said fiercely to Lee Ho-young.

"That's strange, what did I say? How was that going too far?"

Li Haorong pretended to be confused.

"So what if I didn't agree to your cooperation? Is it really necessary to make things difficult for us like this?"

"It's your prerogative not to agree to the cooperation, and it's their prerogative for netizens to upload whatever content to my website. How can you say I'm targeting you?"

"you----"

Kim Young-min was speechless for a moment.

Anyone with eyes can see at a glance that this was done by Li Haorong, but he insists that it was a spontaneous act by netizens, and Kim Young-min really can't do anything about it!

"Haorong, for my sake, let's just let this go. We'll continue with the collaboration you proposed later. Don't let something as trivial as this damage our relationship!"

Lee Soo-man quickly tried to smooth things over.

"It wasn't a big deal to begin with!"

Director Kim changed his mind, apologized to me, and that was the end of it.

But what was the result? For the sake of his own face, Director Kim was willing to sacrifice several girls from Cheonjihee and the interests of SM Entertainment. Whose fault is that?

Lee Ho-yong's huge accusation was directly slapped on Kim Young-min's head, making Kim Young-min grit her teeth in anger.

The key issue is that I can't refute it. No matter how you look at it, this matter is caused by my own selfish interests, which has harmed the company's interests!

After much hesitation, Kim Young-min raised his glass and said through gritted teeth to Lee Ho-young, "Chairman Lee, I'm sorry, my attitude was wrong last time, please forgive me!"

This time, Lee Ho-young finally raised his glass and clinked it against Kim Young-min's.

Then Kim Young-min and Lee Ho-young simultaneously drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

After putting down his wine glass, Li Haorong stood up and came to Jin Yingmin, saying, "I have always believed that if you are wrong, you should admit it, and if you are going to be beaten, you should stand up straight!"

Since Director Kim caused this mess herself, she should stand up like a man and stop hiding behind a girl!

After saying that, Li Haorong got up and left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to say to Lee Soo-man, "Don't worry, Teacher Lee, this matter ends here. As for how to make amends afterwards, that's none of my business!"

"Of course, I'll take care of the rest!"

Lee Soo-man quickly replied.
