Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 54 Peaceful Coexistence

Fortunately, while the two were shopping, although Kim Jisoo's outfit was quite eye-catching, no one recognized her.

After they finished shopping, Zhou Wenzhe told her to go back to the car while he waited in line to pay.

The supermarket was quite crowded today; there were four or five people queuing at each checkout counter.

Just as he finished paying and was pushing his shopping cart toward the parking lot, an acquaintance walked towards him.

This acquaintance was dressed similarly to Kim Jisoo, but he still recognized her as Choi Sulli at a glance.

Beside her was another girl dressed similarly.

Judging from the looks of it, he must be an artist.

When Choi Sulli saw Zhou Wenzhe, she was taken aback at first, then walked up to him with delight, "Wenzhe, what a coincidence!"

"Yes, has your show finished filming?"

Although Zhou Wenzhe was talking to Cui Xueli, his eyes were fixed on the girl next to him.

The girl is about 162 centimeters tall. Her face is not visible because she is wearing a mask, but she has big eyes.

However, although her eyes were large, her gaze was somewhat dim.

It's obvious that they've encountered some trouble or difficulty.

"Hmm, the first phase of filming is finished. You bought so much stuff?" Choi Sulli looked at the shopping cart that Zhou Wenzhe was pushing.

"Yes, some friends came over today."

"Then I won't take up any more of your time. Let's have dinner together sometime."

"Okay, I'll contact you by phone."

"Okay, bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After Zhou Wenzhe pushed the shopping cart away, the girl next to Cui Xueli asked, "Jinri, who was that just now?"

"I met this friend when I went to Hawaii a while ago. Isn't he handsome? Hehe."

"He is quite handsome. I thought he was a newly debuted actor."

"Hehe, do you want me to introduce you to him?"

"What do you think?" The girl glared at Choi Sulli.

"Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore." Thinking about the troubles her good friend had been going through recently, Choi Sulli immediately stopped smiling and lost her interest in teasing.

On the other side, Zhou Wenzhe put the things into the trunk, opened the car door, and sat in the driver's seat.

"Why did it take so long?" Kim Jisoo asked curiously.

"I just ran into a friend and we chatted for a bit."

"Oh? Do I know him?"

"You should know her, right? She's also an artist, and she's your senior."

"Huh? Who is it?" Kim Jisoo was immediately curious; Zhou Wenzhe actually knew other celebrities.

"Sulli, isn't she a former member of f(x)?"

How do you know Sulli-senpai?

"Back in June of this year..." Zhou Wenzhe said as he drove, briefly recounting how he met Cui Xueli.

After he finished speaking, he asked, "Have you met her before?"

"No, she wasn't an idol anymore when I debuted."

"Haha, I have absolutely nothing to do with her. I've already met her three times."

"three times?"

"Yes, I happened to see her recording a show last time."

"You two really are destined to be together." Kim Jisoo's tone carried a hint of jealousy.

"yes."

Zhou Wenzhe knew that this was all a deliberate arrangement by the system; otherwise, how could such a coincidence have led him to become involved with these artists one after another?

One coincidence is a coincidence, but multiple coincidences are not coincidences, but rather deliberate arrangements.

Although the system hasn't released any missions related to him and Choi Sulli yet, he knows there will definitely be some in the future.

I wonder what kind of mission it will be.

. . .

Back home, worried about smelling the hot pot on herself, Kim Ji-soo asked Zhou Wenzhe for a set of loungewear and went to the bedroom to change. Zhou Wenzhe then took out the ingredients he had just bought, washed them, and started preparing.

After changing her clothes, Kim Jisoo came over to help.

Zhou Wenzhe glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and sighed inwardly. The "girlfriends" the system had arranged for him were all top-notch in terms of looks, but their figures were... well, let's just say they were all rather thin.

Couldn't the system have assigned him a slightly more comfortable position?

After all the ingredients were prepared, the two sat down and started eating hot pot.

Kim Jisoo can handle spicy food quite well, so she added a lot of chili peppers to her seasoning.

Once the water boils, add the ingredients.

Zhou Wenzhe picked up the cooked beef and placed it on her plate, then asked, "Now you can tell me what you wanted to see me about?"

Kim Jisoo nodded, first putting the beef into the condiment bowl, then said, "Why did you suddenly acquire shares in YG Entertainment? Does our CEO, uh... Yang Hyun-suk, have anything to do with this?"

After asking the question, she picked up a piece of beef that was already coated with sauce and put it in her mouth, chewing it with satisfaction.

Why are you asking that?

"I just want to know, is it because of me?"

Upon learning in the conference room today that Zhou Wenzhe had become the company's major shareholder, Kim Ji-soo had this idea in her mind.

She recalled that when she celebrated his birthday, he had mentioned the topic of changing the company president and told her to wait a few days to find out.

Sure enough, Yang Hyun-seok was taken away for investigation a few days later.

If you say it has nothing to do with him, who would believe you?

Logically speaking, Zhou Wenzhe had just returned to South Korea. Even if he wanted to start a business, he shouldn't have made such a large investment right from the start. YG Entertainment is a listed company, and the costs involved are very high.

Moreover, YG Entertainment is hardly a good asset these days, as it reported a loss in the first half of the year.

Why would he still do that?

"It does have something to do with you, but my acquisition of YG Entertainment's shares was more because I was optimistic about the company's future profitability. As for Yang Hyun-suk, I can only say that he deserved what he got."

"Okay, so what are your plans for us?"

"You should ask President Han about that, don't ask me. Although I'm the major shareholder, I only care about making money. As for the company's operations, I don't care." Zhou Wenzhe paused, then continued, "Of course, you can call me anytime if you need anything."

"Anything is fine?"

"Um."

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Zhou Wenzhe became the chairman of the company's board of directors. Jin Zhixiu was thinking about whether she should not bother him too much in the future. Since he had already said so, she would just continue as before.

Just then, Zhou Wenzhe's cell phone, which was on the table, rang.

He picked it up and looked at it. When he saw the caller's name displayed on the screen, he immediately felt a little guilty because it was Lin Na-yeon who had called.

What should I do?

Zhou Wenzhe didn't want Kim Jisoo to know about his relationship with Lim Nayeon, but he couldn't think of a good solution to this problem for the time being.

Sigh, being a scumbag isn't so easy.

At the very least, he still lacks mental fortitude, which is easily noticeable to others.

There's no other way, let's just freeze time.

Zhou Wenzhe had never imagined that this advanced skill would one day be used in this way. Wasn't this a bit too... wasteful?

I'm sure I'll encounter this situation frequently in the future, and I can't use this skill every time.

Isn't there any way to make 'them' coexist peacefully?

It seems I still have to rely on the system. It would be best if I could get a similar skill so I wouldn't be in such a predicament in the future.
