Peninsula, starting with being neighbors with Lee Kwang-soo

"Hmm...? Didn't you say you'd start work tomorrow?" Park Hong-joon asked, puzzled, but didn't say anything, leading Qin Wen to the BLACKPINK practice room.

"No, didn't President Yang just say to tell them to wait? I thought it would be better to go and tell them, since we'll be working together in the future!" Qin Wen explained.

"I didn't realize you were such a sweetheart!" Park Hong-joon teased.

"I wouldn't call him a warm guy. It would be better to just say something since I've been keeping people waiting," Qin Wen said, touching his nose.

The two arrived at BLACKPINK's practice room. Park Hong-joon was about to open the door and go in when Qin Wen stopped him, saying, "Wait, let's finish watching first!"

Qin Wen saw that they were practicing dance inside and stopped Park Hong-jun.

Looking at the group of people who were drenched in sweat from dancing, Qin Wen sighed, "Indeed, one minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage!"

"Clap clap clap!" After BLACKPINK finished their dance, Park Hong-joon opened the door and clapped, praising them, "Not bad, not bad at all! You'll definitely debut!"

"Hello, Hong Jun oppa!" The group quickly greeted him upon seeing him.

Seeing Qin Wen behind him, he called out again, "Hello, Producer Qin!"

"Hello everyone, now I can accept your greetings with a clear conscience!" Qin Wen said with a smile.

"Hmm...?" The group had a guess!

"Yes, you're right. Qin Wen has officially become your debut producer. He'll be in charge of not only the songs and dances, but also the music videos. You need to listen to Qin Wen carefully."

After all, Qin Wen had given his word to the club president: if you don't break the fastest record and don't achieve an eight-consecutive-title streak, Qin Wen's income will be reduced by more than half.

Park Hong-joon was afraid that these girls would not listen to Qin Wen because of his youth, so he wanted to give him face as a producer and let the girls know how much Qin Wen thought of them!

"What do you mean?" Kim Jisoo and the others exchanged puzzled glances.

"Qin Wen guaranteed to the club president with his salary that your debut would break the record for fastest first place and achieve eight consecutive wins; otherwise, he would only receive one-third of the salary!"

Park Hong-joon explained.

"This..." After understanding, the four daughters looked at Qin Wen with teary eyes.

"Producer Qin, thank you so much for trusting us!" Kim Ji-soo, still the eldest sister, wiped her eyes and said with gratitude.

"It's alright, it's alright, you guys do your best. I'm counting on you guys, otherwise I'll be eating dirt to survive!" Qin Wen said jokingly when he saw that everyone's eyes were red.

With a few 'pffts', the four girls all laughed, looking at Qin Wen with eyes full of gratitude.

Seeing that Qin Wen was easier to talk to, Jennie couldn't wait to speak up, "Um, Producer Qin, President Mini said..."

Before Jennie could finish speaking, Qin Wen interrupted her, saying, "Don't call me Producer Qin anymore, just call me Qin Wen. I'll address you by your names too, so everyone will feel more comfortable."

"No, Qin Wen, you're new here and don't know, but the hierarchy in South Korea is very strict. You're asking them to address you like that?"

"Once they get into this habit, they'll be criticized!" Park Hong-joon objected before the BLACKPINK members could speak.

Qin Wen suddenly realized, "Yes, this is South Korea. After they debut, as entertainers, every word and action of theirs will be judged!"

Seeing this, Qin Wen cursed inwardly as "feudal dregs," but helplessly shrugged, indicating that he had no other choice!

Kim Jisoo and the others smiled and said it was nothing.

Qin Wen thought for a moment, and since there was nothing else, he prepared to leave. "Alright, I just came to say hello."

I'll officially become your producer tomorrow morning, so you can rest today. Don't be late tomorrow, I'm leaving now!

"Producer Qin, take care!" The members of BLACKPINK quickly bowed and said goodbye.

Qin Wen had no choice but to return the gift.

After Qin Wen and the other person left.

The practice room immediately erupted in a lively chatter.

"Why do you think Qin Wen is so optimistic about us that he's willing to gamble away most of his reward?" Jennie said first.

"Jennie should call him Producer Qin or Qin Oppa, don't be rude!" Kim Jisoo interrupted.

"Oh, nobody's here anyway. Besides, Qin Wen already told us to call him by his name, it was just Teedy Oppa who objected, but Qin Wen doesn't mind!" Jennie waved her hand.

Kim Jisoo was about to say something when Rese interrupted her, "Yeah, logically speaking, we've only just met, so why is he so optimistic about us?"

"Maybe they're not optimistic about us, they're optimistic about Jisoo unnie!" Jennie teased, noticing Jisoo's unpleasant expression.

"Hey, you said that again, Jennie, I'll scratch you to death!" Kim Jisoo blushed and pounced on Jennie.

"Hmm...! That makes sense!" Lisa nodded from the side.

"Lisa..., you're teasing me too?" Kim Jisoo was a little incredulous. Lisa had started teasing her, the older sister!

"No, Unnie, I really can't think of any other reason why Qin Wen thinks so highly of us."

"Only if he's set his sights on you, willing to do anything for love! That barely makes sense," Lisa bluntly stated.

"Lisa, you're so smart! That's right, I had the same idea!" Jennie seemed to have found someone like her, broke free from Jisoo's control, and came over to give her a high five.

At this moment, Angel Rou Rou suddenly spoke up, "You guys think, how confident must Qin Wen oppa be in his song to be able to make such a guarantee in front of the club president?"

"What if we don't break the record and achieve an eight-peat? How are we supposed to face Qin Wen oppa then?!"

"This..." The three fell silent for a moment.

After a while.

The eldest sister, Kim Jisoo, clapped her hands and said, "Then we must work hard and try not to disappoint Qin Wen oppa!"

"Qin Wen Oppa? Unnie, Qin Wen doesn't necessarily look older than you! You call him Oppa quite naturally!" Jennie, the queen of witty banter, teased again.

"Maybe they don't want to use their names and just call me Oppa!" Seeing this, Park Chaeyoung also got playful and instantly joined Jennie's camp, teasing her along.

Lisa was speechless. Seeing her two older sisters start rambling again, she had no choice but to join in and then kill the game.

"We need to work even harder so we don't let Brother-in-law Qin Wen down!!!"

"Understand X2"

Jennie and Rosé instantly understood, stood up and saluted, "We will never let Brother-in-law Qin Wen down!"

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!"

Jisoo, blushing furiously from the teasing, charged at the three of them without a second thought.

......

Downstairs in the lobby, Qin Wen extended his hand and shook hands with Park Hong-joon. "Hong-joon, thank you so much for today. I'll be going now!"

"It's nothing, I'll just take a look around too. Besides, it's rare to meet someone I click with. Qin Wen, you have to let me know when your songs come out!" Park Hong-joon waved his hand, revealing his purpose.

Qin Wen nodded helplessly, then quickly got into the car arranged by Park Hong-joon and left.

On the bus, Qin Wen took out his phone, ready to tease his silly older brother!

"Annyeong, Qinwen!" Lee Kwang-soo said politely from the other end.

"Kwang-soo hyung, your house is on fire! Come back and put it out!" Qin Wen shouted urgently, making the driver in front of him laugh.

"Hey, you brat, you're messing with me again!" Lee Kwang-soo, who had been polite, instantly lost his temper and started cursing.
