Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 53 Supermarket Date

"Let's go in."

Park Jin-young knocked on the door, then pushed it open and went inside, with Zhou Wenzhe following closely behind.

When the girls in the practice room saw the club president enter, they immediately stood up straight from their slumped positions, bowed, and greeted him: "Teacher-nim."

At JYP Entertainment, artists and trainees alike call Park Jin-young "Teacher-nim," a title he also enjoys.

After they finished greeting each other, they realized there was another person behind Park Jin-young.

"Oppa, what brings you here?" Upon recognizing who it was, Lee Chae-ryeong's eyes widened in shock, and she asked incredulously.

kindness?

You know each other?

The other girls looked at Li Cailing.

Who is this?

"Let me introduce you..." Park Jin-young was about to start when Zhou Wenzhe interrupted him.

"President Park, let me introduce myself."

"Hello, I am the company's newly appointed strategy officer, my name is Zhou Wenzhe."

"Hello." The girls bowed again in greeting.

Strategic officer?

What does that mean?

What do you do?

The girls were all puzzled, including Li Cailing, who didn't understand why Zhou Wenzhe had suddenly become the strategy officer of her company.

Although she didn't know what a strategist did, she knew one thing: she now had a powerful backer.

Judging from Park Jin-young's attitude towards him, you can tell that this so-called "strategist" is a very high-ranking position.

"President Park, let me speak with them alone," Zhou Wenzhe said, looking at Park Jin-young.

"Okay, you guys chat." Park Jin-young nodded and then left the practice room.

"Please have a seat," Zhou Wenzhe said, gesturing for them to sit down.

But no one dared to sit down; they all stood there dumbfounded, wondering what the strategist wanted to talk to them about.

Zhou Wenzhe sat down first, then waved to Li Cailing, "Cailing, come and sit down."

Li Cailing walked over and sat down next to him, asking curiously, "Oppa, how did you become a strategist? What does that do?"

"Let's not talk about that now. Let them sit down, and then they can all introduce themselves."

"Please sit down." Li Cailing walked over and pulled the girls to sit down one by one, then briefly introduced Zhou Wenzhe to them.

Everyone was quite surprised to hear that the two were actually relatives. Everyone knew about Li Cailing's family situation, so when did she have such a wealthy relative?

Then, the girls began to introduce themselves.

Hwang Ye-ji, Choi Ji-soo, Shin Ryu-jin, Shin Yoo-na, and Lee Chae-ryeong.

The oldest is Hwang Ye-ji, born in May 2000, and the youngest is Shin Yoo-na, born in December 2003.

The longest-serving member is Li Cailing, while Shen Youna was previously a floorball player and even won first place.

With the same five-member lineup, this age difference is more reasonable, unlike Red Velvet where the members have such a large age gap.

"Let me explain what a strategy officer does first," Zhou Wenzhe said with a smile, then continued, "It means I will be in charge of the work of all the artists under the company, and you will all be under my jurisdiction from now on."

The girls were all surprised when they heard this; they hadn't expected the strategist to have such great power.

Doesn't this mean that, apart from President Park Jin-young, Zhou Wenzhe has the most power at JYP Entertainment?

Huang Lizhi and the other three looked at Li Cailing.

What a powerful backer this is! Her life will be much easier from now on.

Zhou Wenzhe understood their meaning and also noticed Li Cailing's suppressed excitement. He slowly said, "Although Cailing is my sister, I treat everyone equally in official matters. She will be punished just like you if she makes a mistake. I will not show favoritism to anyone."

"Similarly, I will not give her any special treatment. The company's resources will only be given to the most suitable and hardworking people."

After saying that, he smiled at the girls, said "You guys continue practicing," and then got up and left the practice room.

After Zhou Wenzhe left, the girls started chattering and asking Li Cailing all sorts of questions.

However, Li Cailing didn't know much about Zhou Wenzhe either. At most, she knew his age and the university he graduated from, but she didn't know much else.

Not to mention her, even her mother didn't know much, except that his family was quite wealthy.

But exactly how rich he is, and what he does for a living, is unknown.

"Unnie, does Mooncheol oppa have a girlfriend?" Shin Yuna asked curiously.

"I've never heard him mention it, why are you asking?" Li Cailing looked at her youngest sister warily.

"I was just asking casually."

"I'd like to know too, Jisoo unnie, what about you?" Shin Ryujin looked at Choi Jisoo with a smile.

Before Choi Ji-soo could answer, Hwang Ye-ji interrupted, "Stop asking such nonsense. Just focus on preparing for your debut and stop thinking about all that rubbish."

She has been confirmed by the company as the leader of this new group, so she has an obligation to discipline these younger members.

Although she admitted that Zhou Wenzhe was very handsome and charming, and not much older than them.

But... love?

They can forget about it anytime soon.

. . .

After leaving the practice room, Zhou Wenzhe greeted Park Jin-young and then left.

After getting into his car, he made a phone call to Kim Ji-soo.

After making the call, he started his car and picked her up downstairs at her dormitory half an hour later.

After picking her up, we headed home.

"Jisoo, what do you want to tell me?"

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Okay, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"I want to eat spicy food."

"Let's have hot pot then."

"OK."

"Let's go to the supermarket to buy some groceries first."

"Um."

The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the supermarket Zhou Wenzhe frequented. After parking the car, he said to Kim Ji-soo, "Wait for me in the car."

"I'll go with you."

Aren't you afraid of being recognized?

"It's okay, I was prepared."

Kim Jisoo took a black face mask out of her pocket, and then took out sunglasses and a baseball cap from her bag.

This is the most basic outfit an artist would wear when going out; they carry it with them at all times.

"Alright, but if you get recognized, don't drag me into this."

"Oh, is it embarrassing to be with me?" Kim Jisoo pouted.

"No, I'm afraid your fans will tear me to pieces."

Since her debut, Kim Jisoo has gained a lot of male fans with her good looks and personality. If she were to be exposed shopping at a supermarket with a guy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's okay, just say you're my staff member." Kim Ji-soo smiled again when she heard Zhou Wenzhe say that.

"Are there any staff members as handsome as me?" Zhou Wenzhe raised his right hand and narcissistically made a checkmark on his chin.

"Tch, hurry up."

Kim Jisoo rolled her eyes, put on a mask, sunglasses, and a hat, opened the car door, and got out of the car.

Zhou Wenzhe also got out of the car and pushed the shopping cart into the supermarket with her.

The two browsed through the wide array of goods, selecting seasonings and ingredients, occasionally cracking jokes, giving off the vibe of a young couple shopping together at the supermarket.
