Chapter 131 Surprise? Shocked!
"Surprise?"
Although Zhang Rui didn't know what surprise Huang Xu was talking about, he was full of expectations for the next session.
The environment in Seoul has already dealt a heavy blow to him when he first came here.
He even felt disillusioned, and now he was in urgent need of new surprises to make him excited again.
And it was precisely because of this that Huang Xu brought him here, to the music restaurant he opened with Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dong Hoon.
The first is the food here, which basically provides Korean unique dishes.
Not only does it have a barbecue restaurant that was previously operated, but after Huang Xu’s suggestion, there are also a lot of other dishes that go with drinks.
But they are basically Korean unique foods. As Zhang Rui’s first meal after coming to Korea, it is a good choice.
The second reason is that there are now frequent Korean pop stars here.
Not because of anything else, but because of some suggestions given to them by Huang Xuhe. From time to time, they would find some star idols who had just debuted to sing songs and perform here to increase the popularity of the hotel.
And because the prices of Han's activities are relatively cheap, and many younger artists admire Kim Jong Kook, the cost for them to come here to perform is basically just a fee.
This is why Kim Jong Kook must join before the hotel starts.
After all, his title of Triple Crown Champion is still very appealing to the underachieving artists.
The task for them to perform here is not very heavy. They only need to sing a few simple songs and do not need to waste a long time.
But it is because of them that this music restaurant and bar has already gained quite a reputation in less than a month since it opened.
The second reason why Huang Xu brought Zhang Rui here was because celebrities often appeared here. If he was lucky, he might bring a big surprise to Zhang Rui.
But when Huang Xu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar barbecue restaurant in front of him, he felt a little uneasy.
Although he has no requirements for the performance of the barbecue restaurant, he doesn't even attach much importance to the profit here.
But seeing that there were basically no people in the store, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although it is not the main master time yet, it is already around five o'clock. Isn't it a bit too deserted now?
"Is my idea wrong?"
Huang Xu walked into the store with suspicion, and then saw He Dongxun who was about to go out.
When He Dongxun saw Huang Xu, he immediately came over and gave Huang Xu a hug.
"Xiao Xu, when did you come back?"
"Um, I just came back."
Huang Xugang had just finished hugging He Dongxun, and wanted to introduce Zhang Rui behind him.
But He Dongxun excitedly started to announce the good news to Huang Xu.
"Xiao Xu, do you know? After your suggestion, the business in the store is really good now. At night, our store is so full that we even need to book a seat in advance."
Although Ha Dongxun is an artist, he attaches great importance to the side business of restaurants.
He basically invested all his wealth in the hotel's operation.
However, due to management problems, the popularity of his shop was not very high, and it could even be said to be a bit deserted, which made him very uncomfortable.
But now, after Huang Xu's guidance, the hotel seems to have come back to life, and now it has reached its peak period, so reservations are actually required.
And all this happened because of Huang Xu's guidance.
A few days ago, he was thinking about having a drink with Huang Xu and having a good chat about his future development, but it was a pity that Huang Xu was not in Korea so he could do that.
After seeing Huang Xu today, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude.
Although he said that because it is a music restaurant, the table turnover rate is not very high, but don't forget that the barbecue and drinks here are much more expensive than ordinary meals.
And they can also take a portion of the fees that guests give to those singers.
Therefore, the overall profit is still quite good.
He can even predict that within a few months, his hotel will be able to recoup its initial investment, which will then be considered as income.
In addition, the hotel has only appeared for less than a month, and it has already occupied a place in Seoul's hotel market and gained a lot of fame.
Many underground singers come to their homes and want to perform in restaurants.
For these underground singers, in addition to performing on various pedestrian streets, the only places for underground artists to perform are in various bars and nightclubs.
But the music that is in demand in that kind of place is basically drier songs with a cheerful rhythm, and there are very few places where lyric singers are needed.
But the music restaurant bar is a little different. Now, the most popular here are all kinds of lyrical songs.
This is why so many people come here.
Hearing this, Huang Xu was also a little emotional at this time. He didn't expect that just an idea he had would cause such a big response.
But at the same time, Huang Xu also had a sense of urgency.
After all, his original idea was to use this place to find some potential singers as contract artists for his entertainment agency.
But his entertainment agency still has no clue, and it hasn't even started yet, which makes Huang Xu feel anxious.
But Huang Xu had been chatting with He Dongxun and didn't notice Zhang Rui's reaction behind him.
As a senior Korean entertainment fan, Zhang Rui is naturally familiar with Ha Dongxun, and is even very familiar with his face.
Ha Dong-hoon is a regular guest on two popular programs: Running Man and Infinite Challenge. How could he not recognize him?
Therefore, seeing that Huang Xu and He Dongxun were so familiar, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and even felt a little incredible.
In his opinion, celebrities should be relatively mysterious, even a little aloof.
And Huang Xu has just been in South Korea for such a long time. Even if he knows celebrities, they are just acquaintances, and there is no deep relationship with them.
But looking at the familiarity of the two people in front of him, although he couldn't quite understand the conversation between the two, he could still clearly tell from the state of the two that their relationship was unusual.
That's why he seemed so shocked.
But his shock did not last long, because after listening to the explanation, Huang Xu already remembered Zhang Rui behind him, so he turned around and pulled him over.
Before Huang Xu could introduce him, He Dongxun started asking.
"Xiao Xu, who is this?"
"Brother Haha, this is my friend from China. He is a loyal fan of You."
When He Dongxun heard this, he quickly extended his hand to Zhang Rui and said hello in half-baked Chinese.
"Okay, I'm Ha Dongxun, nice to meet you."
"Hello, hello."
Huang Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw the two people greeting each other, especially Zhang Rui's nervous look.
He even said that if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have wanted to record the video and save it.
He just said that Zhang Rui is a fan of Ha Dongxun, and he was not lying. Although Zhang Rui is not a personal fan of Ha Dongxun, as a loyal viewer of Running Man, it is not wrong to say that he is his fan. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Rui is so excited and nervous.
At this time, Zhang Rui looked at He Dongxun's outstretched hands, which made him feel like he was in a dream.
He didn't expect that after arriving in Seoul, he would meet celebrities so quickly and greet them so close.
However, although his mind was confused, his hand movements were very fast. He directly held He Dongxun's hand and said hello in Chinese.
But he couldn't remember what to say next.
As for He Dongxun's Chinese proficiency, he could only say hello. If he was asked to say a few more words, he really wouldn't be able to say it.
Then the two of them froze awkwardly.
This made Huang Xu laugh a little, but he still acted as a translator to help the two communicate.
However, this exchange did not last long. Ha Dongxun still had a show to record, so the exchange only lasted a few minutes. At the urging of his manager, he left in a car.
But even if they only communicated for a few minutes, Zhang Rui was very satisfied.
Even when he followed Huang Xu to the dining table, he looked at the group photo on his phone and giggled.
And while waiting for the food to be served, he sent the photo of himself and Ha Dongxun to the Korean entertainment fan sharing group at the university.
At this time, if you want to fully watch Korean entertainment programs in China, you still need to find corresponding resources.
And this group is a group where they share their resources with each other.
The people in the group are also classmates or club friends who are more interested in Korean entertainment.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Rui's photo made this originally peaceful group chat create ripples like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
It even blew up many people who had been diving for a long time.
"Zhang Rui, have you seen Haha?"
"Zhang Rui, have you gone to South Korea?"
"Ha Dong-hoon??"
"When did you go to South Korea?"
"."
Zhang Rui looked at the constantly refreshing information in the group, and his heart was filled with excitement at this time.
After all, this is the time when the variety show Running Man is becoming popular, and many people in China like to watch this show.
But not many people actually met and took photos with the characters inside.
And no one in their group has ever posted a group photo.
Therefore, in the group at this time, everyone was crazy @张瑞思, wanting to ask him where he met Ha Dongxun and were able to take a photo together.
Huang Xu looked at Zhang Rui's excited expression and his frantic response to messages, and shook his head helplessly.
He understood Zhang Rui's thoughts at this time and knew what he was doing now.
But now he had to interrupt his excitement with words.
"Brother Rui, don't reply to messages now. Let's eat first. Are there any surprises later?"
"Is there any surprise?"
Hearing this, Zhang Rui immediately turned his attention from the phone to Huang Xu, wanting to ask what the next surprise would be.
In his opinion, it was a great surprise to meet Ha Dongxun and take a photo with him today.
As a result, Huang Xu said there would be a surprise next, which made him excited.
At the same time, I also want to know what the next surprise will be.
However, Huang Xu did not answer his questions. He just urged him to eat as soon as possible and wait until after the meal.
That is why Zhang Rui felt a little bit indifferent about tonight's Korean-style meal.
After all, although the taste here is good, it is nothing unusual for people like Zhang Rui, who was born and raised in a chef's family.
Just a novelty to eat.
But at this time, he was already overwhelmed by the excitement of meeting the stars, so he ate a little absent-mindedly.
Huang Xu looked at his appearance and didn't say anything, but just started eating on his own.
After both of them had eaten, Huang Xu looked at the time and it was still relatively early. If he wanted to wait here for the singer to perform on stage, it would take at least more than an hour. He had a headache.
After all, he came here just to let Zhang Rui see the star's performance up close.
It's just that there was something wrong with his estimation of time, and he came a little early.
But it was precisely because of this that he also took him to meet Ha Dongxun and took a group photo.
So he said to Zhang Rui:
"Are you tired? Why don't we find a place for you to stay first and surprises later?"
"No, I'm still waiting for the surprise you said?"
Zhang Rui was very excited at this time and could not feel tired at all, so he was asked to rest now. He would rather see what surprise Huang Xu was talking about.
Seeing Zhang Rui's excited expression at this time, Huang Xu was a little worried.
Although it is said that just by waiting here, you can see some celebrities' performances and fulfill Zhang Rui's wish.
But he didn't want to wait any longer, because he was already used to Korean celebrities.
Let’s not talk about how many idols of girl groups he knows. Let’s talk about how many celebrities he invited to appear when his restaurant opened.
As long as he wants to, he can basically meet common celebrities.
And don't forget, his current girlfriend is a member of SNSD, so he is really not surprised by celebrities.
But now Zhang Rui is obviously waiting for the "surprise" he mentioned, which makes it a little difficult for him.
However, Huang Xu turned his eyes and instantly remembered something, so he said to Zhang Rui:
"Let's go, the surprise is at home. I'll show it to you when I get home."
Then he led Zhang Rui back to his community and to the door of his home.
What Huang Xu didn't expect was that as soon as he opened the door, he saw the lights in the room turned on, and the two of them were already playing games on the sofa.
"Why are you here?"
As Huang Xu exclaimed, Zhang Rui, who followed him in, was stunned after seeing the two of them clearly, and his mouth opened wide, as if he was frightened.
