Peninsula Asteroid

"Is it a little more purposeful?"

They met by chance in the tvN parking lot in the afternoon. The two looked at each other and smiled, but they just nodded and said hello, and passed each other without any communication.

But the moment they looked at each other, they seemed to know immediately what the other person was doing. Through the look in each other's eyes, Chi Jingyuan also vaguely anticipated something.

Sure enough, more than an hour later he received a call from Pei Xiuzhi...

"Do you want to be so direct?"

Chi Jingyuan looked back at Pei Xiuzhi with a bit of helplessness and weirdness.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I just have some needs and I'm just asking about the general situation. You can treat it as incidental..."

Pei Xiuzhi didn't feel embarrassed at all. She walked to the wine cabinet at the back and took out a bottle of red wine. She opened it skillfully and at the same time took out a goblet and started pouring the wine.

The sound of flowing liquid started and ended quickly. She walked behind Chi Jingyuan with a goblet in her hand. She lifted her clothes up her thighs and sat down on the low back of the sofa. After taking a sip, she put the glass away. Put it next to Chi Jingyuan's mouth, move his head down, and say in his ear with surging breath: "And can't I fully satisfy your machismo by doing this? Does it feel uncomfortable to be relied on like this? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

The crimson liquid became even more dazzling under the light golden light. A low-pitched gasping sound came from his ears, and a tantalizing itching sensation extended from his earlobe all the way inward.

"How do you know I'm chauvinistic?"

Looking at the goblet filled with glowing red wine in front of him, Chi Jingyuan asked with some dissatisfaction, then took the glass and took a sip. After taking the glass, he shook it slightly and glanced at the red wine. Under her nightgown, one of Pei Xiuzhi's big white legs straddled the sofa cushions and hung beside him.

He directly reached out and placed the goblet flat on the fleshy thigh, placed the cold cup holder on the fleshy skin, and then with a little force, used the base of the cup to press a light patch on Bai Huahua's leg. flesh red mark.

Chi Jingyuan did not answer the following question, because... Pei Xiuzhi was actually right.

Being entrusted or relied upon by someone close to you will indeed give you a sense of accomplishment. .

Pei Xiuzhi felt the skin of her thighs come into contact with a refreshing coolness, and she trembled slightly due to the stimulation. She was not annoyed at all but laughed. She shook her thighs twice, then reached out to take the wine glass, and said naturally: "You really don't seem to have that... Actually, I think if you were more chauvinistic, you might be more attractive..."

"You filmed a bloody romance drama and were tamed by the plot?" Chi Jingyuan heard this comment and gave her a disgusted look.

"cut."

I don't know if the 'bloody romance drama' was mentioned. Pei Xiuzhi snorted dissatisfied, raised his head and drank the remaining red wine in one gulp, licking the wet corners of his mouth under the light: "And we encountered difficulties. It’s not normal to find a man. If I don’t find you, then who do you want me to find?”

"Could it be..." She paused, leaned slightly closer and asked curiously: "Didn't your eldest mother ask you for any help?"

It seemed that this topic interested her very much, her eyes were full of excitement, and her speech speed gradually increased: "You often encounter some difficulties or harassment when you are in the industry. I'm sure you, a top-level person, have encountered it too. You should." It’s very clear... Even if the company can block most of the troubles, you will definitely encounter some in private..."

"And even if there is no such thing, the connections in this circle are so important and will be needed for career development... If I have your help, it should be easy to find good resources, right?"

"Is it possible that she hasn't asked you for help?"

Pei Xiuzhi's tone was suspicious: "She can't, she doesn't know you..."

Her meaning was very obvious, and she felt that maybe the eldest daughter didn't know that her boyfriend had a great background and resources and could help her in many things.

It's just that Chi Jingyuan didn't reply directly after hearing what she said. Instead, he paused for a second, and after reminiscing, he lightly pursed his lips without making a sound, but silently gave the answer in his heart:

It seems...it really hasn't happened.

He knew what Bae Suzy said was right, but Bae Zhuhyun had never asked him for help for such a long time... Even the last time he offered to help her find a TV drama role for her debut, he felt that the young lady was talking. I agreed, but I wasn’t so enthusiastic or happy.

In this regard, Bae Zhuhyun's self-esteem is particularly strong, and there may be other reasons.

Although Chi Jingyuan can roughly understand some of her thoughts and thoughts through observation, and can be regarded as understanding, but in fact...

But this is also where young ladies are different from some people.

Chi Jingyuan suppressed some thoughts in his heart and did not continue the topic. Instead, he frowned and glanced back: "I found that you really like to mention her?"

Chi Jingyuan's question seemed to hit Pei Xiuzhi's sore spot. She no longer deliberately made provocative gestures like before, and said significantly faster: "Of course, she stole my man..."

As she spoke, she swung her other leg across the backrest and squatted directly on the sofa. As her tone worsened, her face became rosy, and she waved her arms vigorously: "I have worked hard for so long. , if she hadn’t suddenly popped up, I would have succeeded in no time. You know, maybe even if I work harder, the news will be on the news... She is now my opponent and my enemy! I often mention her, and it’s not easy to know more about her. Normal thing?”

Obviously, Bae Suzy is not as carefree as she used to show. Every time she mentions Bae Zhuhyun, she says, "Big Daughter" with a smile on her face.

But at this time, Chi Jingyuan could tell that she probably hated the young lady.

Of course he knew this was normal, because Bae Zhuhyun should be the same...if he didn't hate it, he would be a ghost.

After venting her anger in a slightly fierce tone, Pei Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to her previous appearance. She didn't know what she was thinking of. She turned to look at Chi Jingyuan and asked, "Has she never been like this before?" Have you never mentioned me?"

"No……"

"Didn't you ask?"

"..."

"That's not right..." This answer made Pei Xiuzhi a little excited for some reason, flashing with memories and thoughts: "She and I have met more than once at events before, and we met by chance on the TV station some time ago. She Although her expression is normal, her eyes... she must know me... She may not know the specific relationship between me and her boyfriend, but she must know that I was with you before, huh~"

"Then that would be interesting..."

Her tone suddenly became inexplicable. She exerted strength on her squatting thighs and moved her body closer to Chi Jingyuan. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and she asked softly in a joking tone:

"She knew that I might be close to her boyfriend, but as a real girlfriend, she never exercised her rights. She never mentioned it, or even asked you about this matter... …Why is this? It should at least be confirmed, right? For example, is there still contact, is there an old relationship rekindling, etc..."

She blew gently, and her tone suddenly became deeper:

"She doesn't care about my existence at all, so she doesn't care..."

"Still... don't you dare?"

Chi Jingyuan felt waves of commotion in his ears... He suddenly had the feeling that Pei Xiuzhi's vocal control was much better at this time than when she was recording.

"..."

He didn't answer Pei Xiuzhi's words, nor did he think about it...because this was not actually a question, and he could easily think of the answer.

After looking at each other quietly for a second or two, Chi Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but smiled on his face. He looked into Pei Xiuzhi's eyes and replied in a very relaxed tone: "Maybe it's because...she , no need to ask at all.”

After saying that, before Pei Xiuzhi could reply, Chi Jingyuan waved his hand and changed the topic: "How was the audition for "Goblin" today? Is there any clear hint or answer?"

Pei Xiuzhi paused for a second and seemed to see something, and changed the topic with tacit understanding: "I think it's okay... but there is no follow-up. I just said that I will seriously consider it... I read the script and character settings. , I think I’m quite suitable for the heroine, what do you think?”

"I think……"

Chi Jingyuan turned to look at her.

After the script of "Goblin" was changed, the characters of the male and female protagonists have undergone tremendous changes, especially in terms of appearance. In order to match the male protagonist Chi Jingyuan, the original cute loli setting of the female protagonist was erased, and instead The focus has been changed to the aspect of excellent appearance.

In particular, it has to match Chi Jingyuan very well, and it has to feel right.

Bae Suzy’s words…

In terms of acting skills, Chi Jingyuan has not seen Bae Suzy's works very much, so he is not very good at commenting on them.

But in terms of appearance... He looked at the pure white face and the exposed white flesh under the loose red pajamas...

He thought it was quite appropriate.

"Let's just make it work... When will "Attachment" be released? Are you sure it won't do well?"

Bae Suzy suddenly became tired and listless: "It will be on KBS on the 7th next month... I watched the finished film. The picture is quite good and the texture is good, but what about the plot of the finished product? Speaking of which...you know, I actually feel that I see the shadow of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" in the context and plot."

"I'm Sorry, I Love You" is also a work by Lee Kyung-hee, the writer of "Random Attachment", and it is also her most popular work...but that was already a TV series in 2004.

Although she actually thought "Sorry" was quite interesting, Chi Jingyuan was still amused by her description.

Bae Suzy had long since lost the optimism and high-spiritedness she had when she was competing for the role. She was not completely sure when filming, but after the entire drama was completed and she carefully watched the finished product, her expectations immediately dropped to rock bottom.

"Are you familiar with Director Li Yingfu?"

Feeling that Chi Kyung-won was starting to think about business, Pei Suzy also became serious: "That's right. PD Park Jin-young and Director Lee Eung-bok also have a good relationship. They have maintained it since the last time they collaborated. This audition is actually It's because of his relationship, otherwise our company's recent situation..."

She shook her head and didn't finish her sentence.

"Hmm..." Chi Jingyuan responded. He looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling and thought for a while, then looked at her again: "If it is as you said, the results of "Random Attachment" may not be good, and you really If you want to win the role of Chi Enzhuo in "Goblin", you'd better take advantage of these few days, when "Wandering Attachment" is not released, to act quickly, and try to confirm it before, or a week before it is released, otherwise...

"As far as I know, the crew is also very anxious about the choice of actors. Since you are very familiar with Director Li Yingfu, then based on his relationship, writer Kim Eun-sook and the producer are very optimistic about him. He is in You still have a say in casting."

Chi Jingyuan still made a decision.

Not to mention the relationship between the two... In terms of appearance, Bae Suzy really fits the role of the new heroine. At least she is the most suitable one among the several heroine candidates he knows. Although her figure is slightly flatter, The face and height really fit the bill.

That face that looks extremely innocent with just a little makeup or even no makeup is really very confusing.

And based on his observation, director Lee Eung-bok should have a really good relationship with JYP. Bae Suzy is actually quite competitive and doesn't require much effort... Maybe he won't need his help by then, it's already It's settled.

"...You guys should try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll think of a solution. However, I may not be able to return to Seoul during this time due to my flight tomorrow morning. By then..."

"……What are you looking at?"

Chi Jingyuan was talking about his thoughts here, but after talking for a long time, he found that Pei Xiuzhi didn't respond at all.

Turning his head, he saw her kneeling on the sofa, staring at him without blinking, with an expression of admiration and longing, and her pupils were shining with reflected blazing lights.

"Do you know how handsome you are now?"

…………

"More than ten days. Will this overseas trip last this long?"

"Well, there are a lot of commercials that need to be shot...but a dozen days is just an estimate. It may be later, or it may be earlier."

On the morning of July 1st, in the VIP lounge of Incheon International Airport, Chi Jingyuan was texting with his father while waiting for his flight.

Although this news has not been publicized within the company, it is kept confidential, and only EXO's operations team and members know about it. But of course he won't hide anything from the young lady.

Bae Zhuhyun has been busy filming her first web drama in the past few days. It can be said that she started early and stayed in the dark. However, I heard that the progress is good, and the web drama, which is not long, is almost finished.

"...I'm afraid what will I do to you?"

"Are you just afraid?"

"(BOBO)"

"...The plane is here. Let's not talk about it for now. I will send you photos when we land."

"Well, be safe. If you feel dizzy on the plane, just take a nap. Remember to wear an eye mask and neck protector."

"I know, take it with you and let's go."

"(selfie bobo)"

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the photos he received, closed his phone with a smile, packed his things, and prepared to board the plane with his team.

Soon the plane was speeding down the runway and soon broke through the clouds into the blue sky.

In the first-class cabin, Chi Jingyuan looked at the relevant information prepared for him by the company and listened to Park Jae-hyun's rather detailed introduction:

"... There is actually not enough precedent for GUCCI to cooperate with Peninsula artists, especially idols. The first artist GUCCI collaborated with in Asia was Li Binbin from the Mainland, and she was chosen to produce three products: fashion, watches and jewelry. The spokesperson of the line, and expanded the product line and area after previous cooperation... But overall this time the cooperation was not particularly successful. Although the exposure and corresponding publicity were grand, the sales did not increase significantly... Even before a new artistic director came on board, the value of the entire brand continued to decline."

"You and Li Binbin are completely different types of artists. This cannot be used as a precedent for our cooperation this time."

"...According to the information we collected in 2016, that is, this year, the continued depreciation of the pound, coupled with the decrease in tourists from the mainland and even Asia, brought more than a double-digit drop in sales to GUCCI and the parent company."

"In order to reverse this situation and cater to emerging consumers born after 1995 and 2000, they chose you."

Park Jae-hyun held a piece of information and talked eloquently. He had obviously made a lot of preparations and seemed to be more attentive than Chi Kyung-yuan himself: "In fact, for these high-end luxury brands, and even all brands, the commercial value of celebrities The most important dimension is the ability to bring goods, that is, the conversion rate of fans to purchase... To put it bluntly, it means that it can help them sell more things."

“According to incomplete statistics, GUCCI has strengthened its contact with us and interacted with us on social platforms, and sales have increased slightly but significantly. Although the response in the overall figures is not obvious...but the fact that can be confirmed is that , the GUCCI clothes you have worn on INS in the past year will basically be sold out quickly in the following day, and the online sales in areas where XO fans are active have increased significantly... This kind of clothing is popular in the peninsula and even Asia. It has a very obvious influence, especially its strong ability to carry goods, which gives GUCCI a high degree of confidence."

“In addition to the credit of the new design director, GUCCI’s comeback has a lot to do with their change of strategy, focusing on social platforms and online sales, and they conduct digital marketing every month.

They attach great importance to the response of the partner's social platform, including fan activity, consumption potential, etc. So far, the brand's official INS currently has a total of 25 million fans, not much more than you... Jingyuan, you are currently the peninsula-wide social platform The artist with the largest number of fans and the most active fans is very satisfied with this. "

"Does this mean that my being the spokesperson has a lot to do with the fact that I have many Instagram fans?" Chi Jingyuan put down the information, looked at his agent and asked with a smile.

"really…"

Park Jae-hyun shrugged and confirmed this statement.

With that said, he took out a stack of documents and handed them to Chi Jingyuan: "This is some information about Mr. Bisari, the current CEO of GUCCI. You should know him, right?"

"I don't know him." Chi Jingyuan glanced at the photo of a bald man with glasses posted on it and shook his head.

"I knew it." Park Jae-hyun also smiled: "Then we should know each other by now... By then we should have officially signed a contract with him. As the spokesperson of the region, you will definitely have a meal and chat together, and participate in related activities in the future. I have had a lot of contact with the Central Committee... Speaking of which, like Micheli’s artistic director, he was appointed last year and is a very decisive person.”

"Yes, we do know each other."

Chi Jingyuan chuckled and nodded, carefully browsing the CEO information he had just obtained, and tried to memorize the information. Socializing is one of the jobs of a celebrity, and Chi Jingyuan is still very serious about his work.

"The advertising shooting will begin after the official signing of the contract. The overall content and style have been sent over. It is in the file I just gave you... This time it has been confirmed that the world-famous fashion photographer Sowe Sandbo will be used. Come and take photos. Li Binbin’s advertisements were shot by him in the past few years. I heard that he is very good at showing the fashion sense of models and the beauty of Asian women..."

"But I'm a man."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but raise his head, interrupting him and looking at his agent in surprise.

Park Jae-hyun smiled and waved his hand, signaling Chi Jingyuan not to be nervous:

"He's also good at men."

"
