Chapter 407 Gifts and Shyness
The next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Huang Xu took a rare nap and slept until now, then slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the curtains, Huang Xu couldn't help but sigh.
“Comfortable, I feel like I haven’t slept in for a long time.”
After sighing, Huang Xu turned to look at Kim Taeyeon, who was still sleeping next to him and had no intention of opening her eyes, and couldn't help but complain softly.
"Why do you think you have to be brave?"
"Wouldn't it be better to admit defeat as soon as possible?"
"If you insist on overestimating your capabilities, now you know you are wrong!"
Although he was complaining, Huang Xu's eyes were full of smiles when he looked at Kim Taeyeon.
Looking at her face that was so white and tender that it looked like water could be squeezed out with just a pinch, Huang Xu couldn't help but pinch it gently, and then sighed again.
"As expected of milk skin, it's so white and tender."
Although it felt good in the hand and felt like I couldn't put it down, seeing that Kim Taeyeon wanted to open her eyes because of her harassment, she immediately let go of her fingers.
Last night, I don’t know if it was because I hadn’t seen Kim Taeyeon for a long time, or because I told her last night that I was preparing a retirement gift for her.
Although she decisively rejected Huang Xu's kindness after Huang Xu said it, she was very enthusiastic during the evening activities.
In other words, a little too excited.
So much so that both Sunny and Goo Hara raised their hands in surrender, but she was still persisting.
The final consequence is that, until now, she has no intention of waking up from her drowsiness.
Of course, Huang Xu didn't want to disturb her rest. After all, she had a schedule waiting for her this afternoon?
So Huang Xu gently took out his arm from Jin Taeyeon's arms, and kissed her gently on her little face, which although she had lost a lot of weight, still had some baby fat.
Then he covered her with the quilt and left the master bedroom quietly.
As soon as Huang Xu opened the door of the master bedroom, he saw an equally fair and delicate little face, and he also happened to open the door of the second bedroom.
"Good morning, Oppa!"
"Good morning Holla!"
Looking at Goo Hara who had just opened the door, Huang Xu opened his hands directly to Goo Hara.
Gu Hara looked at Huang Xu's open arms and jumped directly into Huang Xu's arms without any hesitation.
Without waiting for Huang Xu to hold him firmly, he gave Huang Xu a sweet kiss.
Faced with Goo Hara's initiative to kiss, how could Huang Xu refuse? Naturally, he responded enthusiastically.
It wasn't until two minutes later, when Goo Hara's breathing became a little rapid, that Huang Xu let her go.
Looking at her little face that was turning red due to lack of oxygen, Huang Xu spent a lot of energy not to bite her again.
Then he patted her back gently and said to her.
"Okay Ha La, come down first. It's so early in the morning. Don't irritate me."
"Be careful I'll eat you now."
"If Oppa wants, I can do it."
Facing Huang Xu's threat, Goo Hara not only showed no fear at all, but looked at Huang Xu with provocative eyes.
Huang Xu looked at Goo Hara's provocative eyes and shouted directly to her silently.
"Ah~~, Ha La, you have changed."
"You weren't like this before, why are you like this now?"
"You know that I will have something to do at noon later, but you still deliberately stir up trouble?"
"Oh, it turns out that Oppa still has something to do, so he can't do anything to me!"
Goo Hara looked at the speechlessness on Huang Xu's face, then became more serious, and even continued to attack Huang Xu with some chatter.
And this made the helplessness on Huang Xu's face become even more intense.
I always felt that it was a good thing for Goo Hara to be more lively, but now Huang Xu suddenly regrets it.
Is this overly lively Goo Hara a good thing?
Fortunately, Goo Hara didn't reach the level of sunny. After teasing Huang Xu and kissing Huang Xu gently, she got off Huang Xu obediently.
He simply tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, and then said seriously to Huang Xu.
"Oppa, do you need Ha La's help with breakfast?"
"You~~!"
Looking at Goo Hara, who seemed like nothing happened just now and looked like she was fine, Huang Xu could only lightly tap her forehead.
Then he took her to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for the four of them today.
It took more than half an hour, and with the help of Goo Hara, Huang Xu quickly made a simple but nutritious breakfast.
By this time, sunny had also gotten up.
Then the three of them tacitly agreed not to call Kim Taeyeon, but just started enjoying breakfast.
Halfway through breakfast, while the three of them were chatting and laughing, Sunny suddenly asked Huang Xu a question.
"Huang Xu, you said yesterday that you would help Taeyeon open a company. Is it true or false?"
"Of course it's true!"
"You shouldn't think that I lied to her yesterday."
Huang Xu looked at Sunny speechlessly and said.
Sunny looked at Huang Xu's serious eyes and said to Huang Xu slightly apologetically.
"Okay, I thought you saw my signal yesterday and just made it up to deceive her?"
"Ah, am I that kind of person?"
"Besides, when have I ever lied in front of you?"
"Same."
Sunny and Goo Hara looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Speaking of which, this can be regarded as one of Huang Xu’s advantages,
Whether before or after dating, Huang Xu maintained a very candid attitude when facing them.
This is also a reason why they like Huang Xu and feel relieved about Huang Xu.
But precisely because of this, Sunny looked at Huang Xu very curiously at this time.
"But will the industries you mentioned yesterday really be able to make money in the next few years?"
"Of course, the options I provided her, although I can't say they will be the most profitable industries in the next ten years, are basically industries with good potential."
Faced with Sunny's doubts, Huang Xu showed full confidence.
Although he was not a business wizard in his previous life, let alone an industry master, as a person who cares about society, there is no problem in saying what will become popular in the future and what kind of stores will be more popular.
So Huang Xu was afraid that Sunny and the others wouldn't believe it, so he started to give examples.
"For example, the milk tea shop I helped Ha La choose is actually a trend."
"Although most people here in Seoul now like coffee the most, mainly iced American style. There are not even milk tea shops."
"But I believe that when milk tea shops come in, they will definitely be able to occupy a certain market share." "After all, the multiple flavors of milk tea are beyond the reach of coffee."
"And you can also combine milk tea with coffee. Maybe you can win more market share from these coffee shops."
"Indeed!"
Sunny and Goo Hara nodded involuntarily after listening to Huang Xu's words.
In fact, they didn't understand these things very well, but looking at Huang Xu's confident expression and tone, they naturally had no objections.
Especially when Huang Xu has already had two successful cases.
But at this time, Sunny still had an unresolved doubt.
"Huang Xu, we all believe what you said, but you said that in a few years, the number of people keeping pets here will increase rapidly, and the pet supplies market will become very large. I still think it is a bit too exaggerated. ”
"After all, the current pet market is already very big. If it continues to expand, everyone can't stop having children and keep pets!"
"Hmm~~, how did you know."
Huang Xu's eyes widened and he looked at Sunny in disbelief, with a look of shock on his face.
He didn't expect that Sunny's complaint could predict a future development trend in South Korea.
You may not be able to see it in Seoul now. People just feel that more and more people are keeping pets, and more and more people are walking their pets in public places.
But people today can never imagine that as time goes by, the number of people who keep pets will continue to expand until they reach a peak that no one can imagine in ten years.
By that time, children will not be allowed to enter various public places in Seoul, and pets will not be refused entry.
When you see people pushing strollers in the market, most of the time, there are pets in the strollers.
The streets and alleys of Seoul will also be filled with various pet service agencies.
It can be said that in ten years, South Korea’s pet market will expand to an unimaginable level.
Even Huang Xu still remembers a data. In 2022, the size of the Korean pet market has reached 8 trillion won, and it is still growing.
In the same year, the total revenue of South Korea's four major entertainment companies has just exceeded 3 trillion won.
And the eight trillion won, converted into domestic currency, is more than 40 billion.
It can be said that in the next few years, this industry will be a standard sunrise industry with various opportunities.
Now as long as you invest in it and add the blessing of artists like them, you can definitely make a lot of money.
As for why Huang Xu knew it so well, of course it was because a regular customer of his hotel was a pet supplies processor.
The main business of his company is to process various pet products according to the needs of Korean customers.
However, Huang Xu didn't explain these in too much detail. After all, he couldn't say that he was reborn from the future.
It can only be explained briefly based on the current social situation in South Korea, such as changes in the social environment, the rise of pet culture, and of course, young people's pursuit of freedom, independence, and personalized lifestyles.
In short, in one sentence, South Korea’s pet market is definitely one of the future development trends.
After listening to Huang Xu's story, Sunny felt confused.
Because she started working as a trainee very early, she stopped going to school after high school.
So she didn't understand much about the social environment and humanistic changes that Huang Xu talked about.
But seeing how understanding Huang Xu was and what he said was so reasonable, she naturally couldn't raise any objections.
After all, the reality is that many people she knows do have the idea of raising pets, or are already raising them.
So in the end I just sighed.
"It's a pity that Taeyeon refused!"
"It's no pity. She refused, but it doesn't mean I won't be in this industry."
"I am so optimistic about this industry, why would I give up?"
Huang Xu looked at Sunny who sighed with regret, and was slightly speechless. Then he looked at her and Goo Hara and said.
"She refused, didn't she still have you?"
"Will you still refuse if I help you set up a company?"
"No, whatever Oppa asks me to do, I will listen to him."
When Goo Hara heard Huang Xu's words, she immediately expressed her loyalty to Huang Xu.
Compared to Sunny who thinks so much, Goo Hara is much simpler, just like she said yesterday.
She has identified Huang Xu, so everything she owns belongs to Huang Xu.
It's the same whether it's placed in Huang Xu's place or in his own place.
Sunny glanced at Gu Hara, and then glanced at Huang Xu. Feeling the silent understanding between the two, she suddenly felt like an outsider.
So she immediately forgot about Kim Taeyeon and said to the two of them.
"Yeah~~, that's about it. You still show affection in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will bite you?"
Following Sunny's words, the breakfast for the three of them also came to an end.
After finishing the meal and putting everything away, Sunny came to Huang Xu with a box in his hand.
"Then, a gift for you."
"My gift?"
Looking at the box in Sunny's hand, Huang Xu was also slightly surprised.
Speaking of which, he and Sunny have been together for several months, but speaking of it, they rarely give each other gifts in such a formal way.
I had given them birthday gifts before, such as jade necklaces, but they had never taken them out.
Basically it just collects dust in the jewelry box.
That's why Huang Xu thought of giving them a store or company to give them a guarantee.
Now looking at the box in Sunny's hand, Huang Xu didn't mean to be polite and opened the box directly in front of Sunny.
"Why did you think of giving me a watch?"
Huang Xu looked even more surprised when he looked at the dark gold watch in the box.
After all, he already has a watch, and to be honest, he basically doesn't have the habit of wearing a watch.
Sunny, on the other hand, took out the watch slowly and slowly helped Huang Xu put it on.
"If I don't give you a watch, what will you bring? And the same watch you take to the nightclub?"
"Don't talk about your watch. It's okay to wear it when you go to the nightclub. But when you go out to talk, can you wear that watch?"
In his words, Hao did not hide his dislike for Huang Xu's watch.
Compared with the watch Huang Xu bought himself before, the one she helped Huang Xu choose was the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712.
Not only does it look more concise and elegant from the outside, it is also more suitable for Huang Xu's current identity.
Huang Xu listened to Sunny's complaints and did not dare to express any opinions. He did not even defend himself. He just kept praising Sunny for his vision.
Then he took this watch with Sunny to Lee Soo Man's date today.
When Huang Xu and Sunny changed their clothes and left the apartment, Goo Hara gently knocked on the door of the master bedroom.
"Onie, they have left, you can come out."
