Chapter 172 Housewarming Party and Shock
Just when Jessica asked why Huang Xu hadn't come back yet, Huang Xu was in a coffee shop not far from the apartment, looking at the man in front of him in surprise.
"You mean, Kim Kwang-soo is seeking financing?"
Huang Xu was in a coffee shop at this time, with a serious expression on his face. Apparently something unexpected happened.
The middle-aged man nodded and gave a definite answer.
"Yes."
"Isn't that a bit difficult to handle?"
Seeing this situation, Huang Xu lost his sense of luck and frowned at the same time.
According to his original plan, he planned to buy Tara and others from their original agency while they were boycotted and unable to make money.
But now something unexpected happened. Their company, Jin Guangzhu, the boss of CoreContentsMedia, is now looking for new investors, which surprised Huang Xu.
If Jin Guangzhu finds suitable investors, some of his subsequent plans may not be implemented.
Especially now that he has invested a lot of time and energy in this matter, it would be a bit uncomfortable if it affects his plan in the end.
"Do you know who he has been in contact with now?"
"What we know now is that he is in contact with CJ Group. As for whether there are other companies, we still need to inquire more."
The middle-aged man opposite Huang Xu looked at Huang Xu's young frown and replied carefully.
Huang Xu looked at his cautious look, and his tense expression relaxed a little, and then said to him.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Section Chief Jin. No, it should be the future President Jin. Let's continue to inquire and see who he has been in contact with now. Even if you spend some money, it's okay, as long as there is comparison. Accurate news.”
"Okay Mr. Huang, then I will find some old friends and inquire again."
Hearing what Huang Xu said, the middle-aged man opposite also said goodbye.
Huang Xu looked at his leaving figure and did not leave the cafe directly. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and transferred 20 million won to his account as activity funds, and then slowly stood up and left.
This middle-aged man’s name is Kim Tae-woo. He has a very common name and is very common in Korea.
He is Huang Xu, who found the future general manager, or president, of the brokerage company through Sunny's father's relationship.
According to Huang Xu's plan, if he wants to establish a brokerage company in South Korea, he will naturally need some veterans who know all aspects of the Korean entertainment industry.
And Kim Tae Woo is the character that perfectly meets his needs.
Before Sunny's father's agency collapsed, he had been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and had also worked in Sunny's company for several years. Later, when Sunny's company collapsed, he switched jobs to other agencies. entertainment company.
Because of his age, he has relatively rich experience and is familiar with various matters. However, precisely because of his age, he cannot move to the top and can only serve as a small leader in the middle level.
Although the income is not bad, compared with the relatively high consumption in Seoul, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, after receiving Huang Xu's invitation, he excitedly agreed.
Who knows that in middle age, now is the time when he needs to spend money the most.
Whether it is an elderly person at home or a child going to school, the necessary expenses every year make him somewhat stretched.
When Huang Xu proposed the position of president of the new brokerage company and the high salary, he agreed directly after asking clearly.
After all, without Huang Xu's invitation, given his current development trend, he wouldn't have much chance in the future.
So before he resigned, he started helping Huang Xu start working.
After all, for him, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, it will be difficult for him to reach the top in his life.
And it is very likely that due to the mid-life crisis, the current position will not be retained.
So after agreeing to Huang Xu's invitation, he began to care about Tara and Jin Guangshu.
It was precisely because he had heard some news today that he was so anxious to find Huang Xu and wanted to meet him.
As Huang Xu left the coffee shop and headed back to the apartment, he was still thinking about the information he had just received.
After all, this news was a bit sudden for Huang Xu.
When he was making plans, he never thought that he would encounter a situation like this, so he had no emergency plan.
Especially the CJ Group, which Jin Guangzhu is currently in contact with, Huang Xu can't help but treat it with caution.
CJ Group is a large multinational company that has been established for more than half a century. It was originally just a subsidiary of Samsung and its only business was sugar production.
After more than half a century of development, CJ Group is now a multinational company spanning four core business areas: food & catering services, bioengineering, entertainment & media, and new circulation.
And it is one of the top multinational companies in South Korea.
Of course, there is another name, and that is South Korea's top chaebol.
This is why Huang Xu is so cautious.
After he was reborn, he had always wanted to avoid contact with the chaebol. Now that he suddenly heard it, Huang Xu was still a little worried.
The status and particularity of Korean chaebols in South Korea, I believe that anyone who knows something about South Korea will not doubt their capabilities.
Although I dare not say that you can be lawless in Korea, you can also say that you are unscrupulous.
Even if you break the law, you can escape punishment through various means. At most, you can avoid it for a few months before you can come out and be free again.
Facing them, Huang Xu couldn't help but be cautious.
Of course, this is also the reason why Huang Xu went to the United States to find James, an American.
Although James lived in relatively poor circumstances in the United States, he was still an American and a Jewish American.
In Korea, his identity is that of a master.
Of course, there is another important reason why Huang Xu chose him, and that is that when he served before, he served at the Yongshan Base in South Korea.
Although he has retired for many years, there are still several people at the same time as him who have not retired yet and are still serving as middle-level leaders in the base in South Korea.
This is the reason why Huang Xu chose James as his white glove.
As long as Huang Xu is here and Huang Xu is not directly exposed to outsiders, the company will be relatively safe.
At least no one would deliberately try to do something wrong.
At the same time, only his identity can prevent Tara and others from being held accountable by those behind the scenes after they release the evidence.
After all, it has become a fact that Tara and the others were boycotted by the entire network, and the purpose of the people behind it, to divert public attention, has been achieved.
As long as they don't implicate the people behind it when they release the evidence, then they will most likely be able to clear their grievances.
But how to do it at that time requires professional personnel to make plans. The most important thing for Huang Xu now is to buy a few of them first.
However, although Huang Xu had a headache, he did not continue to worry. Anyway, even if Tara and others were not purchased, it would not affect his future life.
At most, some of the previous plans need to be revised.
So Huang Xu thought for a while and put the matter of Tara and others directly to the back of his mind, and then began to worry about tonight's dinner.
Today is Sunny's housewarming party, and eight of her teammates will be coming, so they need to be well entertained.
Therefore, when Huang Xu was approaching the apartment, he did not go in directly. Instead, he went to the coffee shop next to him and bought some coffee and desserts before returning to the apartment.
However, after Huang Xu opened the door, although he was mentally prepared, Huang Xu's heart still beat a few times when he saw the room full of girls.
It's not that he has never seen several girls gather together before, but how can that kind of situation outside be compared with the scene in front of him?
This is my own home, not the previous public place.
Fortunately, Huang Xu was only stunned for a moment before showing an apologetic expression to Sunny who came to greet him at the door.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay, are you done?"
Sunny also readily accepted Huang Xu's apology.
After all, she knew Huang Xu very well after knowing him for nearly a year, so she knew that he would not run away temporarily if he didn't have something serious to do.
After Huang Xu nodded to confirm, she pulled Huang Xu to the living room. Under the gaze of several teammates, she introduced to them:
"Okay, although this is not the first time we have met, I still want to introduce you well. This is my boyfriend Huang Xu."
"Hello everyone, I am Sunny's boyfriend: Huang Xu."
Huang Xu saw sunny introducing himself so solemnly, so he also introduced himself solemnly to several people.
However, when Huang Xu finished introducing himself and greeted a few people, from the corner of his eye, he saw Goo Hara standing blankly on the outside, watching him and several people from Girls' Generation exchanging greetings.
This discovery made Huang Xu's heart skip a beat, and then he felt a trace of apology.
Therefore, he saw a trace of envy in Goo Hara's eyes.
But in this situation, Huang Xu had nothing to do, and he had no way to come forward to comfort her. He could only shake her gently when he passed by her after saying hello to a few people from SNSD. The hand is a kind of comfort.
After all, today is Sunny's moving party, so it's not good to be too close to her.
Therefore, he could only act very cautiously and carefully hide his relationship with Goo Hara. After he said hello to a few people, he quickly walked into the kitchen, put away the ingredients that Sunny and Goo Hara had put away, and made the final touches.
The dish he made today was Chinese porridge-based hot pot. Although this kind of hot pot is more complicated to prepare, it is actually very simple.
To put it bluntly, this is a porridge made from rice, used to cook various seafood, meat and vegetables, and then eaten with seasonings.
When I went to Huaxia last time, both Sunny and Goo Hara liked this kind of hot pot.
The most important thing is that although this kind of food is a little troublesome to prepare, it is not that complicated when eating it.
All you need is two electric cooking pots, in which you just need to put the cooked porridge water, and then put the cleaned seafood and meat on top.
Not only does it taste delicious, but it is also suitable for idols like them who need to manage their figure.
The most important thing is that it allows several teammates to taste Chinese delicacies.
Since Sunny and Goo Hara had already made preparations, Huang Xu just mixed a sauce and asked a few people to bring the ingredients to the coffee table in the living room.
The customs in Korea are very different from those in China. People here like to sit on the floor when having dinner together.
A normal dining table like the one in Huang Xu’s Jiangnan District home is actually very rare for many young people.
But this is also because there is relatively little land in Seoul. Many young people live in places where there are no dedicated restaurants. When eating, they can only sit on the floor in the living room and eat on the coffee table.
In short, what young people here often do when they have dinner together is actually sitting around the table on the floor.
This is how Huang Xu prepared today at Sunny Apartment.
And to be honest, that's all it can do.
There is no way, today Sunny and her group have a group of nine people, and after adding Huang Xu himself and Goo Hara, the number has reached eleven people.
If you want to eat at a dining table, you need a large dining table, or even a round table that is only used in restaurants.
It's not that they don't have enough area here, or that they can't afford a round dining table, it's just that it's not necessary.
After all, only two or three people usually eat at that kind of table, which is really a waste.
And sitting on the floor in the living room is also a good choice.
It will make the people participating in the dinner appear more intimate.
But what Huang Xu didn't expect was that after several people from his childhood tasted the porridge-based hot pot and praised it profusely, they would shift the focus of the conversation to Huang Xu.
He began to ask Huang Xu a series of questions.
"Where is your hometown?"
"Who else is at home?"
"How did you meet sunny?"
"What do you do now?"
"."
A series of questions came towards Huang Xu like a rain of arrows, making Huang Xu a little overwhelmed for a while.
Just when Huang Xu finally answered their questions and thought he had finally passed this test, Zheng Xiuyan, who had been quiet just now, suddenly looked at Huang Xu, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Huang Xuxi, just now Sunny said that you came back so late in the afternoon because something happened temporarily? What is it? Could it be more important than a housewarming?"
"Uh, it's a company issue, I need to deal with it."
Huang Xu looked at Zheng Xiuyan and listened to her malicious questions. At this time, he could only answer carefully.
At the same time, he was also curious about what Jessica Jung meant.
Didn't you offend her?
How could you target yourself like this?
This made Huang Xu look a little confused.
What Huang Xu didn't expect was that when he had already answered her question and was not going to explain in detail, she still had no intention of letting her go, but continued to ask coldly:
"Can you tell me what the problem is? We also know a lot of people here, maybe they can help?"
"Um, okay. The number of software users in my company has exceeded two million. I am currently discussing the next step. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Huang Xu heard that Jessica was going to continue attacking. At this time, Huang Xu's expression changed slightly, and he felt that Jessica's behavior today was a bit crazy.
Apart from being picked up and dropped off by her once last time, I didn’t seem to have any interactions with him?
How could you target yourself like this?
Due to Jessica's aggressiveness and Huang Xu's blunt answer, several members of SNSD finally discovered something was wrong, so they all focused their attention on the two of them.
I want to understand how I ended up in this situation after I was fine just now.
However, due to Jessica's pressure, they did not dare to say too much. Only Kim Taeyeon, who was opposite Jessica, gently lifted Jessica with her foot due to her status as the captain.
Tell her to pay attention.
Then he said to Huang Xu:
"Is it a software with two million users? It's really great. What's its name? My teammates and I can help promote it on Twitter."
"Yeah? We can also help."
At this time, other members of SNSD also heard what Kim Taeyeon said, and they all said something to Huang Xu.
After all, the atmosphere is so awkward now, and they need to relax.
Seeing this situation, Huang Xu's sulking dissipated a lot. He took out his mobile phone and introduced to several people:
“This is it, Meiyou APP, an software that focuses on women’s health.”
"Is Meiyou made by you?"
Before Huang Xu finished the introduction, he saw surprised expressions on the faces of the SNSD people across from him.
But it's not surprising that they were so surprised, but because in the past ten days, the name Meiyou has become a household name among women in Seoul, and everyone knows it.
Now all young women in Seoul have installed the Meiyou APP on their mobile phones.
A dozen days ago, this software was still an unfamiliar APP, and it only followed a charity organization that cares about women's health to promote women's physiological health knowledge.
Now, more than ten days later, this software can be said to have entered the mobile phones of most women working and living in Seoul.
Even popular idols like them have been recommended by different people through various channels, and now several people have this software installed on their mobile phones.
Therefore, they were surprised by what Huang Xu said just now that the number of users had reached two million.
You must know that the current permanent population of Seoul is only about 8 to 9 million, which is still far from the population level of 10 million.
Remove half of the men, and some women who are too old or too young, and now the number of users of this software is two million, which can be said to have reached its limit.
At least most young women have basically installed this software.
Although they still don't know what Huang Xu plans to do with this free software, it does not prevent them from admiring Huang Xu.
What's more, they also have an inexplicable liking for Huang Xu.
After all, he was the first person to think of making health software for women, and he was also the first person to make software specifically to serve women.
Therefore, the eyes of several people looking at Huang Xu changed slightly.
Among them was Jung Soo-yeon, who had been aggressive just now, and her expression looked very complicated at this time.
However, Huang Xu had no time to care about this at this time. He was now surrounded by several excited people and started asking again.
"Son-in-law Huang, why did you think of making this software?"
"This software is really easy to use. Many people have introduced it to me."
"Can you add other functions to this software later?"
"Will this software always be free in the future?"
"."
Huang Xu looked at the girls who suddenly became enthusiastic again. At this time, his inner mood collapsed, but there was still a hint of secret joy in it.
After all, a goddess whom he had never seen in his previous life was now surrounding him asking questions. How could he be unhappy?
However, his secret happiness only existed for a few minutes. Huang Xu, who was troubled by the chattering questions of several people, looked at Sunny and Goo Hara after a few minutes, wanting to seek their help.
However, after Sunny saw Huang Xu's look in his eyes asking for help, he ignored it. Instead, he picked up a prawn and boiled it in the pot.
And he also pulled Goo Hara beside him who wanted to say something.
"Holla, don't worry about him. You have to eat more. You have worked hard tonight."
Five thousand six hundred words are sent.
