Peninsula, starting with being neighbors with Lee Kwang-soo

(Thanks to Su Ran, who loves cold-dressed pig snout mushrooms, for the update reminder charm! I'll be adding an extra chapter for her!!!)

Lee Kwang-soo was once again torn between his conscience and his desire to apologize to Qin Wen.

This is tantamount to saying that Qin Hui was a loyal minister and Wang Jingwei was a patriot...!

He wanted to go all out and do something crazy, but he also couldn't bear to part with the script.

He had been a model for one year and a comedian for five years; he absolutely couldn't let this gem slip by.

"Qin, Qin... Producer Qin, screenwriter Qin, I was wrong in the rice industry!"

Lee Kwang-soo finally gave in, apologizing to Qin Wen with a face as red as if he had swallowed a dead child.

"Can you be serious? I'm auditioning your acting skills."

"Look at you, are you trying to quit acting?" Qin Wen couldn't help but chase after him, slashing at him.

"You...! Do you believe I won't go up there and beat Baoying up right now?"

Lee Kwang-soo was going crazy because Qin Wen wouldn't stop!

Qin Wen frowned, but quickly relaxed, saying with a relaxed expression, "Are you stupid?"

"I have nothing to do with Nu... and Bao Yingxi anymore, and you're using this to threaten me?"

Although Qin Wen reacted quickly, Lee Kwang-soo noticed the fleeting frown on his face.

"I don't care, I'm going up now." Lee Kwang-soo got up and headed for the door.

Qin Wen watched Lee Kwang-soo's performance without believing a word, but his hormones forced him to call a halt.

"I'm going to let you play Wang Li...!" (Original Lee Dong-wook)

Lee Kwang-soo smiled as he prepared to open the door. He was actually taking a gamble, and luckily, he won.

He casually returned to his seat at the table. "Second male lead? Who are you looking for, first male lead?"

"I'm planning to cast Gong Yoo as Kim Shin and Yoo In-na as Kim Sun," Qin Wen said.

She pursed her lips, looked upstairs, and sighed, "Park Bo-young plays Ji Eun-tak...! (formerly Kim Go-eun.)"

Seeing Qin Wen's obsequious, sycophantic behavior, Lee Kwang-soo wanted to make a teasing remark.

Fearing that this beast would further humiliate him, he had no choice but to give up.

But he couldn't help himself and tentatively asked in a low voice, "You and Baoying...?"

"It's the same as before, I just feel that the Goblin Bride is suitable."

"Nothing else!" Qin Wen pretended to be completely businesslike.

Lee Kwang-soo covered his mouth and nodded earnestly, looking like he believed him.

But the teasing on his face couldn't be hidden!

"You fucking scumbag, you'd better get out here and play the role of the Three Goddesses Grandmother!"

Qin Wen glared at Li Guangzhu with hatred when he saw that Li Guangzhu didn't believe him at all.

"No, no, no, let's talk about serious matters. We can go online after we finish talking about serious matters...!" Lee Kwang-soo hurriedly apologized.

"This drama will require a minimum investment of 150 billion yuan. You should first go and negotiate with the TV station."

My own investment of 35 billion plus a 10% cut of the screenwriters' profits will give me at least 30%.

Qin Wen had reviewed the South Korean stock market situation for the second half of the year.

In August, multiple companies faced black swan events, with Hanjin Shipping filing for bankruptcy and Chinese capital accelerating its withdrawal.

In September, the Samsung Note 7 explosion crisis and the collapse of Hanmi Pharmaceuticals resulted in a $22 billion loss in market value.

In October, amid political turmoil and a rapid depreciation of the Korean won, semiconductor memory company SK Hynix bucked the trend and remained resilient.

In November, the impeachment of Mrs. Park was finalized, leading to a capital inflow and a surge of 18.1% in the semiconductor sector.

Airline stocks plunged 24.1%, while financial stocks surged over 27%.

He calculated that he would need at least 2 billion Korean won to raise the 35 billion won investment before filming began in November.

He planned to borrow some money from this rich scoundrel in front of him, and if that wasn't enough, he planned to resort to shameless tactics with an idiot...

Lee Kwang-soo stubbed out his cigarette, looked at Qin Wen seriously, and said, "Fine, this kind of drama can only be shown on pay-TV channels."

"I'll ask TVN when I have some free time later, but with such a high-quality script, they should be interested."

"Okay, I'm planning to start filming in mid-November. Call me anytime if you need any help!" Qin Wen nodded.

Then, looking a little embarrassed, she said to Lee Kwang-soo, "Um... Kwang-soo hyung, I...!"

"Stop, you little brat, be normal! Now that we've finished talking, are you trying to mess with me again?!"

When Li Guangzhu saw Qin Wen smiling obsequiously and calling him Guangzhu hyung, he shuddered and looked at him warily.

"Hi...! No, it's...I want to borrow some money from you...!"

Qin Wen looked at Lee Kwang-soo with difficulty, finding it hard to speak.

"No, you're asking me to borrow money? Are you sure?" Lee Kwang-soo looked at Qin Wen strangely.

Before Qin Wen could reply, he spoke again, "I said, Qin Wen,"

Although I don't know your family situation, you're just here to study abroad.

You bought the Hanjiang Apartments worth 10 billion won. I even saw your Lamborghini the other day.

That car must be worth at least 5 million, and you're asking me for money...?

"Uh...!" Qin Wen blushed as he listened.

The house was bought with a loan forced on him by someone with intellectual disabilities, so he couldn't say anything about it.

He didn't know if the car would get into an accident, and it was even more uncertain!

"Well, all my money is in the stock market, and I recently bought a car."

"A sudden investment of 35 billion isn't enough, so I was thinking of borrowing some from you, this rich and handsome guy...!"

Qin Wen suppressed his disgust and, against his conscience, praised this big fool.

"Eh...? What did you just call me?!" Lee Kwang-soo suppressed a smile and asked again, pretending not to hear.

Qin Wen clenched his fist, but the saying "a man without money has no future" was now vividly demonstrated.

He took a deep breath and then, with a helpless air, flattered, "I said you're a tall, rich, and handsome guy!"

Look at your uncle, he runs a large chain of home furnishing stores, you've been rich since childhood, haven't you?

Look at your height of 1.9 meters, upright posture, tall and mighty.

Needless to say, her looks are exceptional; as a former model, her appearance is one in a million.

Otherwise, how could Xianbin be so head over heels in love with you...!

"Hehe, hehehe, hahaha!" Lee Kwang-soo couldn't be happier.

Especially since he had just been humiliated by Qin Wen,

Listening to his flattery right now, I can't express the feeling in words.

That kind of psychological satisfaction is something I could never experience no matter how many times I did it with Xianbin!

"You little rascal, since you're so honest, I'll lend you however much you want!"

Lee Kwang-soo patted his head, looking arrogant.

Qin Wen saw this beast stroking his head like he was petting a puppy.

Clenching her fist, ready to punch him, she said, "Damn it, you wait, just wait until I get the money."

I'll definitely let you try the Three Goddess Grandmothers...!

But outwardly, they continued to offer compliments.

"Thank you, Kwang-soo hyung. I knew someone as handsome, rich, and successful as you would be great."

"Two billion is nothing to you!"

"Wait a minute...! You... how much did you say?"

Lee Kwang-soo paused in his arrogant expression and asked again.

"Two billion! With your privileged background as a second-generation rich kid, it's nothing to you..."

You don't have one, do you?

Qin Wen continued to flatter him, but as he continued, something felt off. What was this idiot so embarrassed about?

"Uh...! I really don't have that!" Lee Kwang-soo blushed slightly.

The silence at this moment was deafening!

"Holy crap, what are you pretending for? You've been in the industry for eight years, haven't you?!"

You don't even have 20 billion? What kind of person are you?!

Qin Wen became even angrier as he thought about how he had just humbled himself.

"Um... I did make some money, around 150 billion!" Lee Kwang-soo quickly retorted.

"What happened to the money? Did you burn it for yourself?" Qin Wen asked irritably.
