Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 105 Chou Tzu-yu's Boldness: Embracing in Public?!

Nepotism?!

Upon hearing these four words, the shareholders in the conference room immediately exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt.

Even at their level, those four words still sound a bit niche.

Liu Baiyuan and Park Jin-young both focused their gazes on Director Lee on the other side. Others might not know, but this one certainly did.

JYP is an entertainment company, so naturally it needs talent in this area.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Director Li dared to place his nephew, a directing major, in the company. However, he didn't expect that his nephew would flaunt his connections at work all day, while his professional skills were utterly lacking...

Liu Baiyuan didn't know what he was thinking, but Park Jin-young's gaze towards Director Lee was exceptionally cold, and even a little angry.

Ultimately, it was also because of what happened to the person he let in.

"Director Li."

Park Jin-young called out to Director Lee, and everyone in the conference room turned their attention to him. It was him!

With a target in mind, the others breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the fire didn't affect them, they didn't care.

"Your nephew was using the company's name to find private work for himself, and internally he was falsifying his salary to profit himself. Director Li, this is the person you recommended. It's fortunate that we've discovered this now. If we hadn't, when were you going to tell me?"

Park Jin-young's tone grew increasingly cold, even carrying a hint of disappointment.

"This person in front of me was once his comrade-in-arms." When he first founded JYP, the man invested in him and provided financial support. Even when the company faced a takeover crisis a couple of years ago, they persevered together.

But unexpectedly, now that the company is back on track, the crises have been resolved one by one, and the artists under its management are gradually doing better, the one who will finally teach him a lesson is this old buddy in front of him...

Using his position, he put his relatives in the company, allowing them to take on private jobs outside as JYP-contracted directors, while back in the company, he was a mid-level PD but received the salary of a senior PD.

Even during the company's most difficult times, they allowed him to leech off the company, and these repeated incidents made him utterly disappointed.

Most importantly, he, as the president of the company, was completely unaware of this incident.

"The company has already investigated everything. I did use my identity to bring him into the company, but the wrong things he did have nothing to do with me, and I didn't receive a single penny from him."

Director Li spoke very calmly, and then closed his eyes. Perhaps he had this idea after learning that his nephew had been caught red-handed, so he immediately cleared himself of the blame.

He had only just found out that his nephew had done so many things behind his back.

Liu Baiyuan glanced at Director Li and began to believe him more. Based on the information Park Jin-young had given him, Director Li had indeed not taken any money from him.

At first, it was just to take care of his junior colleague's feelings, so he was directly appointed as a junior PD after joining the company, and even skipped the internship period. It was only later that he gradually became greedy and sent himself to his doom.

"Director Lee Jun-min, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Liu Baiyuan turned his head and asked the director sitting in the corner. He disliked this director very much. If Director Li only made him feel a little uncomfortable, he really didn't want to say a word to this director.

"6

""

Li Junmin, the chubby director, hasn't said a word since entering the meeting room. He just sits there staring blankly, fiddling with his fingers, looking completely lost.

He knew that after this incident, he would be unable to continue working at JYP, and if JYP were to completely eliminate him, he would be unable to continue working in the industry at all.

And his uncle, Director Li, would cut off all contact with him from then on. He... ruined his own life...

Park Jin-young also looked towards the corner. Seeing his expression, Park Jin-young was unwilling to say any more nonsense and directly announced his decision.

"In view of this incident, Director Li has committed serious dereliction of duty and abused his power for personal gain, which has damaged the company's image. I propose that, effective today, Director Li be removed from his position as head of the company's production division and replaced by Director Liu."

Director Lee was able to bring his nephew into the company so effortlessly, which was actually due to his position at JYP.

The relationship between the head of the production department and the general manager is like this: if you say you are a company director, others may not know who you are, but if you have the title of general manager, then the whole company will know who you are.

Park Jin-young told the shareholders in the two rows next to him about his decision, and then began the vote by raising his hands.

This is a necessary procedure. If JYP had not gone public, then as the boss and largest shareholder, he would naturally have the final say. However, after going public, the decisions made must be approved by shareholders through a vote.

"Those who agree to Director Li stepping down and Director Liu acting as acting director, please raise your hands."

Park Jin-young was the first to raise his hand, followed by Director Kim, and then one or two others slowly raised their hands.

Liu Baiyuan did not move at this time, firstly because he was a party involved, and even if he raised his hand, it would not count.

Secondly... he was stunned; he had no objection to Director Li's resignation.

But what does the second half of the sentence mean? Does it mean he took over?

"Okay, those who agree that Director Li should continue in his position, please raise your hands."

This time, no one raised their hand. Several people didn't raise their hands twice, which can be considered as automatically abstaining from voting.

Seeing this, Director Li couldn't help but close his eyes again, let out a soft breath, and looked dejected.

Although his status and position will not change, he has been removed from his actual position in the company.

This means that he will only have basic information about the company from now on, and will no longer have the right to interfere.

"Alright, then Director Liu will take over from Director Li and serve as the acting head of the Production Department."

"As for director Lee Jun-min, given the damage he has caused to the company's reputation and his years of embezzling salaries, the company will hand him over to the police department, and all other involved personnel will be dealt with seriously."

Park Jin-young made the decision and settled the matter.

Although Lee Junmin got the job through connections, he did sign an employment contract. Without the company's permission, he went out to take on private jobs and misused JYP's name, which violated the contract.

In addition, the extra money he received from the company over the years through his connection with Director Li is enough to make him very poor.

Park Jin-young will not let those who know the truth but fail to report it, or even cover it up, go free. This is not only to eliminate long-standing problems, but also to make an example of them.

It was made for the other board members in the meeting room to see.

"Brother Zhenying, why did you let me handle the production headquarters?"

After leaving the conference room, Liu Baiyuan and Park Jin-young went to the latter's office and sat on the sofa talking, but there was a hint of resentment in Liu Baiyuan's tone.

.

"What else can I entrust the production department to if not you?"

Park Jin-young countered Liu Baiyuan's question. If Park Jin-young wanted to gradually regain his say in JYP, he needed to restore his absolute position in JYP. However, it was clear that he could no longer do so after the shares were diluted.

The appearance of Liu Baiyuan could help him achieve this, so taking advantage of this opportunity, Park Jin-young handed over the production department, which was originally in the hands of Director Lee, to Liu Baiyuan.

This was done to increase Liu Baiyuan's influence, so that Park Jin-young could also thrive in the company.

As long as Liu Baiyuan stands behind him, his voice will be greatly enhanced. Even if it doesn't return to the way it was before, it will at least be better than being constantly hampered now.

"But I've never done it before..."

Liu Baiyuan pursed his lips helplessly. If it were a matter of managing music production, he would be considered "professionally qualified," but when it came to filming and production, he was a complete novice.

"Alright, alright, stop complaining. This matter has already been decided at the shareholders' meeting. Even if you don't want to do it, it's too late now. Besides, making you a leader doesn't mean you have to actually do the work. Just follow the company's policies."

Looking at Liu Baiyuan's anxious expression, Park Jin-young felt a hint of helplessness. This younger brother was good in every way, except that he was too timid. When asked to do anything outside of work, he would act as if he was afraid of messing it up.

"You just need to make sure that the people below you fully support the company's projects and that there are no more incidents like this. As for other things, you don't need to worry too much. If you really can't handle it, just bring it over and I'll do it for you."

Park Jin-young's face showed a hint of helplessness. It's not shameful to do more for your own company!

"Okay, Zhenying, you should have said so earlier."

Park Jin-young gave a wry smile, shook his head, and seemed to want to say something, but didn't know where to begin...

"Alright, stop joking around. You don't need to think about anything right now. Just focus on producing TWICE's latest music video."

"Get it done, and then there's nothing else to do. You can think about the minister's matter later."

"Okay."

Their conversations are naturally unknown to the outside world, just like those of TWICE.

"Baek Won oppa didn't come today..."

Chou Tzu-yu was a little down. She had been hoping to get closer to this older brother today, but he didn't even come...

"What's going on? Even Tzuyu, you're talking about Baek Won oppa all the time now?"

"Zhou Ziyu's thief!" Lin Nayeon, who is three years old, also came to Zhou Ziyu's side at this time. When she heard her muttering, her face was full of doubt.

She originally thought that only Hirai Momo would care so much about Liu Baiyuan, but she didn't expect that Zhou Tzuyu, the youngest member, would also care so much about this oppa.

Although she was somewhat interested, she only became curious about him after meeting him or talking to him.

"No, it's just that I feel a little scared when Oppa isn't around..."

The director from yesterday still has some influence on her. She worries that everything that happened yesterday was only because Liu Baiyuan was there. If Liu Baiyuan weren't there, would things go back to the way they were before...?

When Lim Nayeon heard Chou Tzuyu's words, her eyes were filled with heartache. Even they were a little scared in that situation yesterday, let alone Chou Tzuyu, who is not even an adult yet.

"Don't worry, even if Oppa isn't here, they wouldn't dare do what they did yesterday. Don't forget, yesterday the PD..."

When Nim came over, she said that Oppa was also a director, and Oppa's sister was Momo, so "we're considered to have connections."

Nayeon said to Tzuyu with a smile, "Liu Baiyuan's care for Hirai Momo is obvious to all. If he knew that Hirai Momo was bullied again while he was away, no one knows what Liu Baiyuan would do."

"Oh my god, unnie, what kind of background do you have?"

Chou Tzu-yu was amused by Lim Na-yeon's words. While everyone else was concerned about Yoo Baek-won's position as a director, Lim Na-yeon accepted it in a second and then considered that she had a powerful background.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Just as the two were chatting, Sana Minatozaki walked over with a grin and asked them a question.

"It's nothing, Tzuyu is just a little scared."

As Lim Nayeon replied, she turned her head to look at the person who had come in, but she was startled when she saw Minatozaki Sana's outfit.

"Hey! Sana! Who are you trying to scare?!"

Lin Nalian patted her slightly voluptuous chest to calm her somewhat uneasy feelings.

"What's wrong? I think he's really handsome..."

Sana Minatozaki lowered her head and examined the leather jacket she was wearing.

"Leather skirt, leather pants, and leather boots—Sana Minatozaki is dressed head-to-toe in leather today."

A small black cape hung down her back. Her upper and lower body were not a matching set; her upper body was a leather crop top.

This allows her fair skin to stand out against the black background.

Most importantly, her outfit this time seems to be inspired by a female superhero, like...

A female version of Batman?

They even thoughtfully provided her with an eye mask.

"Whatever makes you happy, unnie."

Although she was the youngest, Chou Tzu-yu was the most mature. She looked at her older sister, whose inexplicable, adolescent spirit had suddenly been awakened.

I knew I couldn't argue with her at this time.

She's not an only child; she has an older brother, so she knows that when boys get into a chuunibyou phase, they won't listen to your advice.

Clearly, Sana Minatozaki was in a similar situation at this time.

"Hehe~ Come to think of it, I also fantasized about being a superhero when I was a kid, so now it's like my dream has come true!"

Sana Minato put on her blindfold and went to harass Mina Mina again.

Tzuyu and Nayeon watched her quietly, but just then, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Looks like you guys are having a good time."

Upon hearing the voice, Chou Tzu-yu turned around instantly, and when she saw who it was, her eyes were filled with undisguised joy.

"Brother Bai Yuan!"

She called out to him in Mandarin. When Liu Baiyuan heard Zhou Ziyu call his name, a smile appeared on his face. Although this "black-hearted" chocolate was infuriating when chatting, at least when you met her, you would forgive her when you saw her face.

"Tzuyu."

Chou Tzu-yu stood up, ran past Lim Na-yeon to the person standing at the door of the waiting room, stretched out her arms, and pounced on him.
