Chapter 114 You forced me to do this!
It was around nine o'clock in the evening in Zhengzhou City, and Huang Xu was in the hotel where he had checked into the afternoon.

Huang Xu carried Zhang Rui into the room. After entering, he threw Zhang Rui directly onto the bed and took a deep breath.

"How did you become a salesperson when you can't drink so much? How come you haven't made any progress in a year? And if you can't drink, don't drink so much. I didn't force you to drink."

Looking at Zhang Rui, who was lying on the bed like a dead pig, drunk and sleeping, Huang Xu could only shake his head.

But now he was really curious about when Zhang Rui's alcohol tolerance started to improve, and how he could drink with him until late at night after a few years.

"What kind of training does one need to go through to become the drunkard of the future?"

Yes, in Huang Xu's impression, this dormitory leader of his had become a person who wanted to drink whenever he had nothing to do when he saw him again after returning to China to settle down in his previous life.

He didn't care at the time, and he had never talked about this topic, so Huang Xu just thought that during the years when he was a salesperson, he slowly improved his drinking capacity and gradually became addicted to alcohol.

But seeing that he was knocked down by me today after drinking only half a bottle of wine, it seemed a little different from what I knew.

However, Huang Xu did not intend to delve into it further.

Anyway, now that he has been convinced by me and is following me, as long as I watch him, he should not develop into the situation in his previous life.

In fact, in addition to helping the dormitory leader and making his life easier, he actually had another purpose.

That is, he really hopes that Zhang Rui can join his team.

In order to convince him, I was even prepared to bring his father into my company.

Although his father is a chef, and the Sichuan chef that Huang Xu will focus on observing next, he is just an ordinary chef.

According to his memory, Zhang Rui's father is now working as a chef in a small restaurant in a nearby city.

From this we can see that Zhang Rui’s father’s cooking skills are only average enough to meet Huang Xu’s needs.

The reason why Huang Xu values ​​Zhang Rui so much and wants to recruit his roommate is mainly because Zhang Rui is truly a "genius" level culinary talent.

Even though he is just a salesperson now, he has not worked as a chef and has not received any professional training.

However, Huang Xu knew very clearly from his experience in his previous life that this roommate was very talented in cooking, at least in some aspects.

Moreover, his talent is not the same as that of traditional chefs, who are talented in knife skills and fire skills.

His talent lies in controlling taste.

In his previous life, when he just came back from South Korea, due to lack of experience and brainwashing from some advertising and marketing, he couldn't resist the temptation and joined a chain of Internet celebrity restaurants.

The final result is predictable. Except for a period of time after the opening, after a few months when the hype died down, the hotel's business plummeted and even became unable to make ends meet.

Therefore, his investment has not been recovered and the company is operating at a loss.

Once when he was drinking with Zhang Rui in his own restaurant, he made some suggestions on the taste of Huang Xu's restaurant and helped him improve the seasoning, which brought his restaurant back to life.

And his restaurant has become a restaurant with good reputation in the surrounding area.

Therefore, Huang Xu has great confidence in his talent in cooking. That is why he wanted to bring Zhang Rui to his company.

Don't forget that this time he returned to China not just to visit relatives and celebrate the New Year, he also had some other tasks.

One of the most important things is to select the latest snack categories and then move them to Seoul to open franchise stores.

After all, the current Malatang shop has started the second round of investment promotion. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last round of investment promotion for Malatang.

After all, there is no particularly advanced technique in making Malatang. As long as you come to China, it is easy to get the relevant recipe.

Even many chefs at Chinese restaurants in Seoul now know the recipe, and some stores have already started selling malatang.

Therefore, his Malatang chain business has now entered its late stage.

This is also the reason why, before he left, he asked his uncle to recruit as many people as possible.

Anyway, the company's newly recruited employees have undergone training in these 20 stores and can be said to be very familiar with franchise store affairs.

Even if there are dozens or hundreds of new companies, they can handle it.

At the same time, this is also the reason why he came back so early to celebrate the New Year. One of the purposes is to take advantage of this period of time to choose a category suitable for the Korean market, move it to Korea, and prepare to continue chain franchising.

It sounds easy to say that you should choose delicious food, but it is not so easy to actually do it.

In particular, how to make the taste more suitable for Koreans is a great art.

Not to mention that the tastes of the two countries are actually very different. Even within a country, the taste difference between the north and the south is very large.

Even within a province, there will be certain differences in taste between neighboring cities.

Not to mention the differences in taste that come from different cultures and countries.

For example, his spicy hot pot this time is actually a little different from the spicy hot pot in China. It is only because of the slight improvements that it attracts so many people.

Many domestic snacks, especially those with amazing or unique flavors, use a variety of spices.

However, in many countries, not many people can accept the taste of spices.

If it is moved over intact, then there will definitely be some impact on his hands.

And Zhang Rui is the "genius" in Huang Xu's mind who can blend flavors.

This is also the reason why Huang Xu insisted on inviting Zhang Rui to his company.

Seeing that Zhang Rui had settled down in bed and his breathing had gradually become steady, Huang Xu simply washed up and lay down on the sofa to rest.

Fortunately, the hotel he visited was quite high-end, and he was not stingy when booking a room. He directly booked a high-end business room, which not only had a bed, but also a sofa for him to sleep on.

However, after he lay down and closed his eyes, Huang Xu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Why am I sleeping on the sofa again?"

. . . . . . . . . .

The other side of Seoul.

At this time, the celebration of several people from Girls' Generation was already in the dormitory, and it was slowly coming to an end.

After all, the nine of them had just experienced a death journey and their bodies were already very tired.

The reason they have been able to play until now is just because of their excitement and they are holding on here.

But even so, the few people at this time slowly came to the end. People like Taeyeon and Sooyoung, who couldn't drink much, had returned to their rooms to rest.

The only ones left are a few people who drink frequently and are still here.

But their conditions were almost the same now, so they all started to wash and take care of their skin, preparing to rest.

After everyone returned to their rooms, only Sunny and Yuri, who had the best drinking capacity, were left in the living room.

But looking at their state now, it seems that the drinking party is approaching the end.

Looking at the empty living room, Sunny said to Kwon Yuri:

"Yuri, let's stop here for today."

Then the two of them simply cleaned up the mess and prepared to wash up and go to bed.

But when Sunny finished washing and taking care of her skin, and was about to take some water and go back to her room to sleep, she heard a deep voice in her ear. "Sunny, do you have time to chat?"

"Oh no~~"

The sudden sound startled Sunny, and the bottle of water in her hand fell to the ground.

However, after Sunny confirmed that the person who spoke was Kim Taeyeon, she did not blame Kim Taeyeon for her sudden appearance, but felt very curious.

"Taeyeon, you're okay today?"

There was no reason for her to be so curious, but she could never have imagined that Kim Taeyeon, a "drunkard", could still stay sober.

Based on her previous condition, shouldn't she have fainted by now?

Seeing Sunny’s shocked expression, Kim Taeyeon’s already red face became even redder.

Indeed, her alcohol tolerance is now well known to everyone. She will pass out after two glasses and her whole body will turn red.

But now, she did not give any explanation to Sunny's question, but directly asked the question that had been in her heart since the afternoon.

"Sunny, what happened between you and Huang Xu?"

"We're both fine."

"It's okay? Do you think I believe it?"

Then Kim Taeyeon began to stretch out her hand and list out all the strange behaviors of Sunny during this period one by one.

In addition to often being distracted and dazed, I no longer have the previous interest in many things and feel like I'm weighed down with worries.

And apart from all this, even though the teammates were having so much fun today, Sunny actually acted very calm and didn't even start the fun.

This made Kim Taeyeon feel strange, and was also the reason why she was not drunk now.

She just wanted to wait until the party was over and her teammates had rested, and then find Sunny to ask about the details.

Sunny was also a little embarrassed when she heard Kim Taeyeon's scolding.

"Is my performance that obvious?"

However, after she saw Kim Taeyeon's eyes and thought about her behavior in the past few days, she realized that her behavior towards love during this period was indeed a bit abnormal.

It was because the schedule during this period was so busy that no one noticed anything strange.

"So? What happened between you and Huang Xu?"

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon and mentioned this issue again, and her first reaction was to deny it.

But seeing the other party's confident look, he could only answer honestly:
"He wanted to take me to meet his parents, but I didn't agree."

"Meet the parents????"

When Kim Taeyeon heard Sunny's words, her eyes suddenly widened like bells and she looked extremely shocked. It took her nearly a minute to calm down her shocked emotions.

"You didn't agree?"

"Well, I just felt it was a little fast, so I didn't agree."

After hearing what Sunny said, Kim Taeyeon also understood Sunny's thoughts to some extent.

The two of them have only confirmed their relationship for a month or two, and it is indeed a bit too fast for them to meet their parents now.

Korean culture has long been influenced by Chinese culture, and many of its habits and customs have actually evolved slowly from China.

Therefore, for young Korean lovers, meeting their parents is also a relatively important matter.

Generally, only when the relationship has reached a certain level, or even when it comes to discussing marriage, will people meet the parents of both parties.

So she also understood why Sunny refused this matter.

And don’t forget, Sunny’s current identity is an idol in a girl group, so she is even more cautious about meeting her parents.

After all, she would have to wait until she got married, which would be at least several years before she would consider this issue.

It is even possible that Sunny will be the last one to get married among the nine of them.

As Sunny’s teammate, Kim Taeyeon knows Sunny very well.

She knew clearly that Sunny attached great importance to the girl group's career. In addition to some of her own experiences, she even said that she wanted to be single.

Therefore, she was not surprised that Sunny refused to meet Huang Xu's parents.

But why has Sunny’s behavior been so strange recently?

"and you."

"You want to ask me why I behave like this."

Sunny knew Kim Taeyeon quite well, so she knew what she wanted to ask before she even asked the question.

But now she didn't have the heart to answer her question.

"If you want to know, just guess it yourself."

After saying that, he walked back to the room with his short legs, leaving only Kim Taeyeon and her head full of question marks.

"Nani?"

"Are you leaving now?"

"I've been holding it in for the whole night, and you didn't even tell me?"

"."

Kim Taeyeon stayed in the living room, looking at Sunny's closed door and the disappearing lights. She became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

I was kind enough to care about her and stayed to see what was going on, but Sunny ran away by herself, leaving me no chance to resolve my inner doubts.

Thinking of this, she walked towards Sunny's room angrily, wanting to pull her up and ask her everything clearly.

But when she walked to the door and her hand was about to grasp the door handle, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

"Since you don't say anything, someone else will definitely say something."

So he went back to his room, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

What she didn't expect was that no one answered the phone.

When the call was automatically disconnected, she patted her confused head and remembered what Sunny had said just now, that Huang Xu had returned to China.

Although the call did not go through, Kim Taeyeon did not intend to give up. Instead, she directly edited a message and sent it to Huang Xu.

After seeing that the message had been sent successfully, Kim Taeyeon looked in the direction of where Sunny was sleeping with an expression of triumph.

"Sunggyu, don't blame me for doing this, you forced me to do it!"
