Chapter 135
"You drive a Land Rover?"
Zhang Rui got dressed and followed Huang Xu to the garage. Looking at the black luxury car in front of him, he exclaimed again.
"Um~ Is there a problem?"
"No problem."
Looking at Huang Xu's pretentious face, Zhang Rui had no interest in pursuing the question. After all, he also figured out that with Huang Xu's net worth, driving a Land Rover seemed to be nothing.
Although he didn't know exactly how much money Huang Xu had, based on the industries he mentioned earlier, Huang Xu could easily drive a luxury car like a Land Rover.
And compared to the stimulation I received yesterday, this Land Rover seems to have nothing.
Therefore, after a brief shock, he regained his composure. After following Huang Xu into the car, he began to carefully observe the decoration inside the car.
"Xiao Xu, how much does this car cost?"
Looking at Zhang Rui who had calmed down and asked about the price of the vehicle, Huang Xu suddenly felt pretentious.
"I don't know, my girlfriend bought this for me."
"??"
"My girlfriend bought it?"
Zhang Rui, who had just thought that he had experienced hundreds of battles and was invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, now looked at Huang Xu's calm face and frowned.
"Real or false?"
"Can I still lie to you?"
"Why? Why?"
Zhang Rui was really confused at this time as to why.
If it was said that Huang Xu bought it, he would not have any thoughts and would only admire Huang Xu for making money. But now that it was said that his girlfriend bought it, he couldn't stand it.
Huang Xu didn't say that he was so handsome that he was miserable.
Although he has changed a lot in the past six months from when he was in college, both his figure and his clothes are much better than before.
Even his mental outlook has improved to a certain extent.
But in Zhang Rui's opinion, he is only a little better than normal people.
Therefore, he was very curious, why would someone buy Huang Xu a car and let him have a soft meal?
Does he have any talents that he doesn't know about?
Then he started to look Huang Xu up and down, as if he wanted to get to know his classmate and roommate again.
"What's that expression on your face?"
Huang Xu was stared at by Zhang Rui's half-smiling expression. He felt a little uncomfortable and even shuddered.
"Nothing? What delicious food are you going to take me to eat today?"
Zhang Rui, who couldn't figure it out, simply stopped thinking about why someone gave Huang Xu a car, and started thinking about today's breakfast.
Yesterday's meal, although he was absent-minded when eating because of his mood problems, the taste was still good, which made him have certain expectations for Korean food.
At least he was able to taste Korean specialties, so he was thinking about what kind of Korean breakfast Huang Xu would take him for today.
But what Huang Xu said next made him a little disappointed.
“There are very few types of breakfast here. Not only are there few types, there aren’t even many places to buy breakfast?”
"Why?"
Zhang Rui really couldn't figure it out at this time. He could understand the lack of breakfast varieties, but he really couldn't understand the fact that there weren't many breakfast sellers.
There is no one selling breakfast, so what do the migrant workers here who get up early to go to work eat?
You must know that in their hometown, there are many types of breakfast.
During his working life for more than half a year, he often bought some breakfast at the intersection and then had breakfast on the way.
Whether it's steamed buns and fried dough sticks, scallion pancakes, scallion pancakes, egg-filled pancakes, or even moon buns, there are more than a dozen kinds of staple foods.
Although there are very few things to drink, there are many types such as soy milk, eight-treasure porridge, millet porridge, spicy soup and tofu.
Even if you have more time, beef and mutton soup is also a good choice for breakfast.
That's why he was so surprised by the lack of breakfast here.
"Then what do people here eat in the morning?"
"People here either don't eat breakfast, or just have sandwiches or rice balls to deal with it."
After hearing Huang Xu's explanation, Zhang Rui could only sigh that the national conditions are different and the habits are different.
You must know that in China, breakfast is very important. There is an old saying that it is the relationship between three meals.
Eat a full breakfast, a good lunch, and a light dinner.
This is also a health-preserving formula that many people believe in. You can imagine how important breakfast is to Chinese people.
Seeing that Zhang Rui had accepted their habit, Huang Xu lightly comforted him.
"Brother Rui, this is Seoul after all. The situation in China is a little different. People here don't pay attention to this."
Then I started to tell him about some of the differences between the living habits in South Korea and those in China.
If other Zhang Rui could accept it, but when Huang Xu said that people here basically only drink ice water, he started to frown.
Then I heard Huang Xu say that people here basically rely on coffee to survive. When many young people have several cups of iced Americano every day, he really can't accept it.
Especially in winter, when he still chose to drink iced American style despite heavy snowfall, he couldn't hold it in any longer and asked Huang Xu:
"Really? Do they really like drinking iced American style so much?"
Zhang Rui still doesn't believe it, how could he have such an unnatural living habit.
Seeing his doubts, Huang Xu remembered a statistic he saw a few days ago, so he asked Zhang Rui.
“Brother Rui, can you guess where South Korea’s coffee sales rank in the world?”
"How much can it row? The population is not as large as ours. How much can it consume?"
"Then I want to say that the coffee market here can be ranked among the top five in the world, or even the top three. Do you believe it?"
"How is that possible?"
Zhang Rui was really frightened this time when he heard this number.
Before he came to South Korea, he also checked some information and knew that the total population of South Korea was about 50 million. After all, the place was relatively small and not many people could survive.
Moreover, in his impression, coffee is basically consumed more in European and American countries.
For example, in the United States or the United Kingdom, their cultural traditions include the habit of drinking coffee.
Coupled with the existence of populous countries like China and India, no matter how you calculate it, South Korea shouldn't be able to rank in the top five?
Looking at Zhang Rui's disbelieving look, Huang Xu continued to tell the reason.
Because young people in South Korea often stay up late and often start to rest in the early morning. Some even go so far as to go back to work directly after spending the night in a nightclub. Therefore, they need ice-American refreshment.
And due to their dietary structure problems, a large amount of salt intake will cause body edema, and iced American style has the effect of reducing swelling and diuresis.
So iced American style gradually became popular.
According to data released by relevant Korean departments, young people in South Korea over the age of 20 consume 288 cups of coffee per year.
Zhang Rui was really shocked when he heard this kind of data. His first reaction was to not believe it.
But when he saw a coffee shop on the roadside outside the car window, and pedestrians on the road were actually holding iced American drinks with ice in this winter, he had to believe Huang Xu's words. words.
But he also issued a soul torture.
"Aren't they afraid of coffee poisoning? And can their bodies really tolerate it?"
Huang Xu had no intention of answering Zhang Rui's questions because he couldn't understand why they liked drinking iced American style so much.
Then the two chatted in the car, talking about the differences between South Korea and China.
Not long after, the two of them drove out of the city. The buildings on both sides of the road also changed from the high-rise buildings outside to the architectural style of the former urban-rural fringe area.
Zhang Rui looked at the buildings on both sides of the road and curled his lips without any trace.
"Isn't Seoul what it looks like on TV?"
"You just know? I thought you discovered it yesterday?"
Huang Xu listened to Zheng Rui's complaints, and then complained about him as well.
"Isn't that the fault of you? If it weren't for your words yesterday, I wouldn't have been so irritated."
"Who can I blame? I can only blame you for not being strong enough mentally. I am training you."
"Being strong-willed requires considering the situation, right? Not to mention anything else, it's just that Sunny is your girlfriend. If it is exposed, anyone who knows a little bit about the situation will basically be shocked, and even the whole of Korea will be shocked. ”
"That's true."
Huang Xu quite agreed with Zhang Rui's statement.
Although Sunny's popularity in SNSD is not very high, it is incomparable to the popularity of popular actors such as Kim Taeyeon and Lim Yoona.
But don't forget, she is still a member of SNSD.
If the news of her relationship is exposed, things will really cause turmoil in the entire Korean entertainment industry as Zhang Rui said.
Speaking of this, Huang Xu suddenly remembered something.
"What year did the news about Taeyeon and that person come from?"
He couldn't remember which year the news about Kim Taeyeon's relationship broke.
Her news caused a lot of turmoil.
After all, SNSD’s captain actually fell in love with an idol from the same company.
However, their relationship didn't seem to last long. Shortly after the news came out, they were forced to announce their breakup.
Huang Xu thought of this because he was worried that his relationship with Sunny would be exposed.
Although it had no impact on her after the news broke out, Sunny still had to work, and she still had her own dreams to realize.
If this kind of news breaks out now, will the two of them break up because of this?
Thinking of this, Huang Xu couldn't help but become worried.
After all, this matter was no joke, he even thought of moving.
Although the place where he lives now is also a high-end community, there is still a certain gap between it and those high-end apartments with higher security.
Although the current community has good security, otherwise Tara and the others would not choose to move to this community.
But to be honest, the security of this community is not as good as imagined.
Although it can prevent some black fans and the like, if they are really noticed by D agency reporters, then this community really cannot prevent them.
Therefore, Huang Xu suddenly had the idea of buying some more high-end apartments.
Even if he buys, he will not just buy one set, but will buy several adjacent sets.
Otherwise, he is really worried that his relationship with Sunny and the others will be exposed.
As for why he doesn't want to buy a single-family home, it's because although a single-family home is said to be more private, if they are really followed, their relationship will be a sure thing and there will be nowhere to run.
After all, there was only one house there, and there was only one place to get the car in.
But high-end apartments are different. There are more people living here, and they basically all enter and exit through one entrance.
As long as they can't get a photo of them together outside, it's going to be hard for them to make a real move.
And don't forget, Huang Xu is a stranger in the entertainment industry now. If there are no real photos or videos, no one will believe in their relationship.
But this is another story. Now Huang Xu took Zhang Rui to his destination, a shop that eats beef offal soup.
It is true that there are not many breakfast shops in Korea, but it is not so absolute. There are still some shops that are prepared for people who drink at night, people who work night shifts, and people who have irregular diets.
Things like backbone soup, beef offal soup or bean sprout soup with rice are used to relieve hunger after drinking alcohol.
And many stores are not only open in the morning, but open 24 hours a day.
The place where Huang Xu brought Zhang Rui was the breakfast he often had after being hungover: beef offal soup.
Although the beef offal soup here is very different from that in China.
The domestic method basically adds a little spice to remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma, making the soup taste better.
It's a little different here in Korea. Basically, there are few condiments here, and even some fishy smells are not dealt with very well.
But fortunately, the ingredients are relatively fresh and have less fishy smell. In addition, there are kimchi, onions, green peppers and raw onions to go with it, so the taste is pretty good.
After adding the chili pepper, I felt warm and comfortable after eating it. I was sweating all over.
After the two of them finished eating the Korean-style soup and rice, they took him to the company.
When Zhang Rui saw Huang Xu's company, although he was mentally prepared, he was still completely shocked.
After all, being able to open such a large company in the capital of South Korea was somewhat beyond his expectation.
He originally thought that even if Huang Xu opened a franchise company, it would only be a small company and would not be very large.
But seeing the company that now occupies an entire floor, and the number 100 employees inside, still shocked him.
After Huang Xu came to the company, he no longer cared about Zhang Rui. He directly found someone to arrange a free work station for him and asked him to learn Korean first.
Then Huang Xu came to his uncle's office, ready to discuss how to use the remaining funds in the company's account.
Thanks to the bosses for their strong support. From yesterday to now, more than a hundred votes have been received. Thank you very much.
In order to express my gratitude, I will make some updates in the past few days.
Yesterday I updated it to 8,500, and I am going to continue to 8,000 today.
