Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

This was the first real meeting between the two since they met at the dessert shop.

Liu Baiyuan had originally planned to greet him to salvage his image, but who knew this guy would start off like a monster the moment they met!

You're the one wearing the clothes, and you're the one who bumped into me. I only glanced at you twice, how am I a pervert? I was even trying to help you up!

"Wait, I didn't do anything, so why am I a pervert?!"

Sana Minato glanced down at her outfit. Fortunately, she wasn't practicing dancing today, so she was dressed quite conservatively, and there was no possibility of her being exposed.

Otherwise, this pervert in front of me will get away with it again!

It's important to understand that this is different from her appearances on shows or on stage. At least on stage, her outfits only reveal a line at most. But she was wearing that thin shirt, and the other person probably could even see what kind of fabric and bra cup she was wearing underneath!

Thinking of this, Minatozaki Sana's face immediately turned cold. She walked over, rinsed her hands briefly, and left immediately, seemingly not wanting to look at him even once more.

Liu Baiyuan felt somewhat annoyed as the other person turned and left without saying a word. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was called a pervert and given the cold shoulder.

It's as if he did something that would incur divine wrath and public condemnation.

However, he soon remembered why they had come today, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

He suddenly became very curious about what the other party's expression would be when they saw him appear in the conference room. Would it be one of resentment and resistance, or one of helpless compromise?

Thinking this way, he even considered putting Hirai Momo aside for the time being.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Hirai Momo in the conference room suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, as if something had tugged at her.

Just as she was lost in thought, the conference room door was opened from the outside.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the meeting room turned their attention to the door. The eight members of TWICE thought that TWICE's 'tenth member' had entered, Park Jin-young thought that Yoo Baek-won had returned, and the manager was simply sitting at the back watching for fun.

"Um?"

As soon as Sana Minatozaki pushed open the door, she felt a lot of eyes staring at her, which made her feel a little creeped out.

"What's wrong?"

Sana Minatozaki's voice trembled uncontrollably. She'd only gone to the restroom, so why did it feel like she'd missed something incredible...?

"It's nothing, it's nothing. We thought it was... Please come in quickly!"

Seeing that Sana Minatozaki was still standing at the door, the manager quickly told her to come in and not block the entrance, as they were waiting for the real protagonist.

Feeling as if she had been granted a pardon, she hurriedly entered the meeting room and bowed to Park Jin-young, who was seated at the head of the table.

"Annyeonghaseyo~PDnim~!"

Park Jin-young nodded.

Once Sana Minatozaki sat down, she suddenly realized that this meeting seemed a little different from the meetings she was used to, because no one in the meeting room was speaking...

She looked around and saw that her agent was just sitting there quietly, looking down at his nose, seemingly indifferent.

Park Jin-young was also sitting in the main seat, occasionally flipping through the folder in his hand.

Just as the room fell silent again, the conference room door was pushed open once more.

Just like when Sana Minatozaki came in, everyone's eyes in the meeting room were once again focused on the doorway.

A well-proportioned, fair-skinned young man walked in through the door, his expressionless face giving off an aura of coldness that kept strangers at bay.

He was 1.8 meters tall and dressed in a smart casual suit.

The glasses on his face gave him an air of shrewdness and sophistication.

If this person isn't Liu Baiyuan, then who is he?

The two people who were most shocked at this moment were none other than Sana Minatozaki, whom she had just bumped into by the sink. She stared at Liu Baiyuan with wide eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief.

Of course, she mainly didn't expect this pervert to follow her into the conference room.

Hirai Momo had a similar expression to her, but her reaction didn't seem as big as Minatozaki Sana's, because she was already stunned.

Her gaze was fixed on the man who walked in. Although more than ten years had passed, Liu Baiyuan's face still faintly showed traces of his childhood self, which made her recognize him at a glance.

However, at this moment her mind was blank, and her eyes gradually became misty, making it impossible for her to think too much.

Since Sana Minatosaki was the last to enter, she sat directly by the door. Liu Baiyuan noticed her immediately, and seeing the surprised expression on her face, the anger he felt at the sink earlier dissipated considerably.

However, after looking at Sana Minatozaki, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of the other people in the conference room.

It has to be said that the impact of seeing people you usually only see on TV appearing in real life is quite significant.

However, he wasn't very familiar with the other members of TWICE, so he just glanced at them. The only one he looked at more closely was Chou Tzu-yu, who was sitting at almost the very end.

Finally, his gaze settled on the girl whose mouth was slightly agape in shock. A slight smile played on his lips as he spoke to her in Japanese, a language he hadn't spoken in a long time:

"Peach, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this familiar address, Hirai Momo's eyes instantly turned red, and she jumped to her feet.

Seeing Hirai Momo's appearance, Park Jin-young's expression changed several times, but he finally spoke first before Hirai Momo could:

"Everyone, this is the person I want to introduce to you. This is our company's newest producer, Liu Baiyuan."

He didn't reveal Liu Baiyuan's identity as a director, mainly because it was unnecessary, and they wouldn't have access to that level of expertise anyway.

Upon hearing Park Jin-young's words, the eldest sister, Lim Na-yeon, and the leader, Park Ji-hyo, were the first to stand up. Following closely behind, Yoo Jeong-yeon and the others immediately reacted, standing up and bowing to Liu Baiyuan, saying:

"Annyeonghaseyo~ Producer-nim!"

The only two who didn't move were Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo. Minatozaki Sana was unconvinced, while Hirai Momo simply hadn't reacted yet. She was still staring straight at him, as if trying to confirm that this wasn't a dream.

Liu Baiyuan nodded to everyone without being polite. He gave Minatozaki Sana a deliberately provocative smile before getting up and going to sit next to Hirai Momo. Coincidentally, Hirai Momo was originally going to sit in the seat to Park Jin-young's left, but Park Jin-young told her that the seat was taken, so Hirai Momo had to move to the next seat.

Now that Liu Baiyuan has returned, everyone immediately realized that the empty seat to his left was Liu Baiyuan's seat.

Seeing that Hirai Momo was still staring straight at him, Liu Baiyuan tilted his head slightly and whispered to her:

"Peach, that's about it, we're in a meeting."

After all, they hadn't seen each other for over ten years, so he guessed how Hirai Momo would react, and her reaction was pretty much what he expected. He just hadn't anticipated that he would control Hirai Momo for so long...

Upon hearing Liu Baiyuan's words, Hirai Momo seemed to snap out of a daze, noticing everyone staring at her strangely, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face...

Park Jin-young glanced at Hirai Momo, then at Liu Baiyuan. Perhaps out of caution, or perhaps out of curiosity, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Liu Baiyuan:

"It seems... you know Momo and Bai Yuan?"
