Peninsula, starting with being neighbors with Lee Kwang-soo

the next day.

Qin Wen got up, washed up, opened the door and went to Li Guangzhu's house, frantically ringing the doorbell.

After seeing no response, I went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed to YG.

Qin Wen knocked on the door of YG BLACKPINK's practice room.

"Oppa, I knew it was you! Come in!" Kim Jisoo smiled sweetly at Qin Wen as she opened the door.

But Qin Wen was a little conflicted. He lowered his head, avoiding Kim Ji-soo's gaze.

After all, he only confirmed his relationship with Park Bo-young last night. It would be a bit inhuman of him to flirt with Kim Ji-soo now!

"Oppa, what's wrong?" Kim Jisoo asked, puzzled that Qin Wen wasn't looking at her.

"Um... it's nothing. I just came to let you know that I'm working on the album cover and meeting with the MV assistant director today."

"You guys continue practicing dance and songs today, I won't be coming!" Qin Wen said, pretending to be serious.

Kim Ji-soo nodded slightly, her expression blank. She always felt that Qin Wen was acting strangely.

Qin Wen resisted the urge to look at Kim Ji-soo, lowered his head, and turned to leave.

Kim Jisoo stood behind, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

"Unnie, wasn't that Qin Wen just now? Why didn't he come in?" Jennie asked curiously when she saw Kim Jisoo come back with a pout.

"Oppa said that today we should practice the dance and the song, because he has to go make the album cover and meet with the MV assistant director, so he can't come!"

Kim Jisoo sat on the stool, pouting, looking unhappy.

"Oh," Jennie said with a sudden realization, then her eyes lit up, and she said teasingly.

"Unnie, you really like Qin Wen that much?"

"Yes, I like him!" Kim Jisoo nodded seriously.

"ah...?"

Jennie, who was joking, was stunned when she heard Jisoo's blunt words.

Lisa and Chaeyoung, who were standing nearby, were also stunned. They hadn't expected Kim Jisoo to be so brave.

Jennie quickly looked around; thankfully, it was just a few of them. The dance team was preparing on the other side.

"Unnie, are you crazy? How dare you say that so openly?"

If the president finds out, he'll definitely give you a piece of his mind!

"That's right, unnie, don't follow Miyeon's example, falling in love right before your debut and getting fired!" Park Chaeyoung chimed in, offering her words of comfort.

Lisa, at the end, hesitated, "Unnie, you're not just asserting your dominance over me, are you?"

Don't worry, I've already given up on Qin Oppa, you don't need to rush!

Seeing the worried expressions on her younger sisters' faces, especially Lisa's, Kim Jisoo felt a warmth in her heart.

"It's alright, don't worry, I'll be fine!"

Meanwhile, Qin Wen was in the production studio, looking at the original album covers, posters, and so on.

After thinking for a while, I added a whistle and a miniature portrait of the four people to the original cover, and then headed to the design lab.

Ten minutes later, Qin Wen knocked on the door.

Everyone in the design studio turned around and greeted Qin Wen politely when they saw him approaching.

Yesterday afternoon, Qin Wen's aloof demeanor and the club president's high regard for him were still fresh in their minds.

The head of the design studio approached with a smile, extended his hand, and introduced himself, "Hello, Producer Qin, I'm the head of the design studio, my name is Liu Yongzhi!"

Qin Wen also extended his hand to shake his. "Director Liu, I'm here to discuss the cover and poster for BLACKPINK with you. Is this a convenient time for you?"

"Convenient, convenient. The president already said that everything we do now is to support BLACKPINK's debut."

"Should I gather all the group leaders together for a meeting?" Director Liu asked cautiously.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Director Liu," Qin Wen nodded politely to him.

"Okay, you're too kind, it's our duty!" Director Liu nodded and then instructed a young woman beside him.

"Yunxiu, go and tell the design team leader, visual team leader, and photography team leader to come to the conference room for a meeting in 10 minutes."

"Yes, Chief," the young woman nodded slightly and left.

"Producer Qin, let's go to the conference room first," Director Liu suggested.

"Okay," Qin Wen nodded calmly.

The two then headed to the conference room.

After they left, the people in the design studio discussed the matter in small groups.

"Producer Qin is so handsome, but he seems to have a bit of a temper!"

"Yes, I heard from the dance team that Park Yoon-jung even knelt down before Producer Qin, but he still insisted on expelling her!"

"I've heard that Qin Productions is a Chinese conglomerate, and even the company president has to be careful around them!!"

Qin Wen had no idea that after he left, everyone had already lauded his background to the skies!

10 minute later.

"These are the cover and poster designs I created. Please give me your feedback!" Qin Wen distributed the copies of the cover and poster to everyone.

Although everyone accepted it respectfully, they still didn't think much of it.

Until they started watching...!

"This... is very good, but this whistle seems a bit redundant!"

The visual design team leader murmured in amazement upon seeing Qin Wen's cover.

"Ahem," Director Liu suddenly coughed twice, glancing at the visual effects team leader.

It means, don't be too blunt. Didn't you know what happened yesterday afternoon?

The visual team leader, seeing the look in Director Liu's eyes, instantly snapped out of his daze, looked at Qin Wen with an awkward smile, and didn't know how to start the conversation.

Qin Wen sighed helplessly, "This time, it seems the show of force was a bit too much!"

Then, he tried to look at the group in a friendly manner.

"Everyone, we're all doing this for work. As long as you're not deliberately causing trouble, I'm pretty easy to talk to."

Please make yourselves at home. Team leader, may I ask your surname?

The visual team leader quickly replied, "Hello, Producer Qin, my name is Li Xiu."

Qin Wen smiled and nodded, "Team Leader Li, if you have any questions, please feel free to speak up."

You're all professionals, I'm just doing this as a hobby. As long as what you say makes sense, I'll listen to you!

Seeing that Qin Wen wasn't just being polite, Li Xiu went straight to the point, "Producer Qin, overall your cover is very good."

However, the whistle is a bit too abrupt, detracting from the overall aesthetic appeal!

Qin Wen nodded awkwardly; he had added the whistle himself.

As expected, an expert can spot it at a glance.

Qin Wen suppressed his embarrassment and waved for him to continue.

After thinking for a moment, the visual design team leader spoke up again, "Actually, I suggest we don't use the miniature versions of these four people either."

It's just a patch of pink, with a small, book-turning notch in the middle as a decorative element; that makes it look even better.

"Producer Qin, this is my opinion. You can consider it!"

"Holy crap, could this person have designed the original cover?!"

Qin Wen was secretly astonished when he heard that Li Xiu's design was exactly the same as the original.

"What do the others think?" Qin Wen asked the others.

Ultimately, the score was 3 to 2 among the three team leaders, plus Director Liu and Qin Wen.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Wen decided to listen to Li Xiu. The others might not be sincere and might still be affected by the aftermath of yesterday afternoon's events.

"Listen to Team Leader Li, we'll use your design for the cover!"

"Uh... okay!"

Li Xiu was pleasantly surprised. He had been somewhat disappointed by the 3-2 score, but he hadn't expected Qin Wen to listen to him.

The others exchanged glances. So far, Qin's work seems pretty good; he's not as cold and unapproachable as the rumors suggest.
