Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 35 "The Truth Shop"

After the late-night snack was prepared, Lim Na-yeon also came out after taking a shower and wearing a bathrobe.

Zhou Wenzhe made himself a cup of coffee, then sat down opposite her and watched her eat with relish. He casually asked, "Nayeon, do you know Lee Chae-yeon?"

"You mean Lee Chae-yeon from our company before? You know her?" Lim Na-yeon put down her chopsticks and looked at Zhou Wenzhe curiously.

"Yes, she's the child of a distant relative of mine. I only found out a few days ago."

"Really? What a coincidence, she has a younger sister working at our company."

"I know, it's Cai Ling, we met just a few days ago."

"You've met before? Where did you meet?"

"My mom came back a few days ago and invited relatives to a gathering. I met her at the gathering."

"Teacher Kwon is back? Why didn't you tell me? Is he still in Korea?" Lim Nayeon immediately became anxious.

"I've already gone back to the US. You were busy, so I didn't tell you."

"Really, no matter how busy I am, I have to come and see Teacher Quan."

"Maybe next time."

"So... did you tell Teacher Kwon about our relationship?" This was the question Lim Nayeon was most concerned about.

"No, I don't know how to tell her," Zhou Wenzhe said with an apologetic smile.

"Oh, okay." Lim Nayeon was a little disappointed, but she could understand, since she hadn't told her mother about their relationship.

"I'll talk to her when I have the chance."

"Um."

After finishing their late-night snack, the two went to the media room to snuggle up and watch a movie.

However, this time the movie contained some R-rated scenes, which made the two of them very excited.

Overcome with their emotions, the two lost all restraint and became entangled in each other, their clothes slipping off one by one.

This time, everything that was going to happen has happened.

At this point, both of them had completed the most important transformation in their lives, growing into adults overnight.

The intimacy level between the two also increased from 82 to 85 points.

So this can actually increase intimacy level. When Zhou Wenzhe received the notification, an evil thought couldn't help but pop into his mind.

However, the second attempt had no effect whatsoever; the intimacy level remained at 85 points, without any change.

It seems that intimacy isn't so easy to increase.

Alas, this shortcut is no longer viable.

. . .

Just as Zhou Wenzhe was inspecting the office that Secretary Li had found, he received a phone call from Sun Shengwan.

He walked to the side and answered the phone.

"Hey, Seungwan, what do you want?"

"Wen Zhe, are you free tonight?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Do you remember that show I told you about, the one I went on with Sulli?"

"I remember, shall I pick it up today?"

"Yes, my agent notified me at the last minute."

"Okay, what time?"

"Around 8 pm, I'll send you the address in a bit, and we'll meet there then."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wenzhe's mind was filled with the image of the girl he had met in Hawaii.

I wonder if she still remembers me.

"Wen Zhe, what do you think of this place?" Secretary Li asked as she walked over.

"It's pretty good. Is it for sale here?"

Zhou Wenzhe doesn't actually have high requirements for the office environment, but this place has a great location. It's in Cheongdam-dong and is a standalone three-story building. It's very close to SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment, and many other small and medium-sized entertainment companies are also located nearby.

"Buy it? There's no need."

"Consider it our company's first investment."

"Alright then, I'll go talk to the landlord again."

"If he won't sell, then look around the surrounding area."

"Okay, I understand."

"Then I'll be going now."

Zhou Wenzhe came out of the building and got into the car. At this time, Sun Shengwan's message had already been sent.

He looked at the address; it was quite close to his home, less than a kilometer as the crow flies.

That way, we don't need to drive; we can just walk there.

Around 8 p.m., Zhou Wenzhe strolled to the address Sun Shengwan had given him. From afar, he could see a bustling crowd and numerous cameras filming.

Upon approaching, he saw a sign hanging at the entrance of the store that read "Jinri Store," and the main character was Sulli (Choi Sulli), who is now the manager of this pop-up store.

Although Choi Sulli has had very few works in recent years and has been quite controversial, she is still very popular and has many fans who come to support her.

Zhou Wenzhe looked through the shop window but didn't see Sun Shengwan, so he waited at the door.

After waiting for about 5 or 6 minutes, a black van stopped in front of the store. A man got out of the driver's seat, walked around the front of the car, and opened the back door.

Son Seung-wan got out of the car.

As soon as she appeared, a camera was pointed at her, and some fans who recognized her cheered softly.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenzhe could no longer go forward to greet them.

Sun Seungwan also saw Zhou Wenzhe, winked at him, and then went into the store.

Zhou Wenzhe followed the group inside.

The store is quite spacious, about 100 square meters. There aren't many items on display; most are various kinds of hats, knitted caps, baseball caps, etc., with a small portion of clothing and accessories.

At that moment, Choi Sulli was paying for, signing autographs, and taking photos for fans, completely unaware that Son Seungwan had come in, and of course, she wouldn't recognize Zhou Wenzhe.

Led by one of Choi Sulli's partners, Son Seungwan listened to the initial intention behind the pop-up store and the introduction of its products.

Zhou Wenzhe wandered around and listened.

It turns out that "Truth Shop" has three phases of planning, all of which are operated in the form of pop-up stores.

This is the first installment, which sells hats designed by Choi Sulli and her personal photobook.

Sulli did this show in an attempt to change the negative public perception of her departure from the group through honest communication with the audience and fans.

Son Seungwan picked out two hats and went to pay. At that moment, Choi Sulli saw her and greeted her excitedly, but they didn't seem to be that familiar with each other.

In fact, the two are friends of the same age. Son Seungwan is even more than a month older than Choi Sulli. However, when Son Seungwan joined SM Entertainment, Choi Sulli had already been in the industry for almost three years, and the two had no interaction.

When Red Velvet debuted, it was also the time when Choi Sulli was deeply embroiled in a public opinion storm. Not long after, she left the group, and the two had even less chance to meet.

Sulli and Seulgi are very familiar with each other. They used to live in the same dormitory. Seulgi was once selected as a pre-debut member of f(x), but was eventually eliminated.

Choi Sulli signed her name and wrote a blessing on her pictorial book and handed it to Son Seungwan, who in turn took out a bank card from her wallet and paid for the hat.

The two reached a friendly deal.

Just as Choi Sulli was about to say goodbye to Son Seungwan, she looked up and saw Zhou Wenzhe.

The moment she saw him, she froze, her brain completely shutting down.

What is he doing here?

Am I seeing things?
