Chapter 121 Why are you here?
"what?"
Goo Hara looked at Choi Jin-ri with some surprise at this time, not understanding what she wanted to say.
"I said I want my bank card back."
Looking at the confused Goo Hara, Choi Jin-ri began to explain.
Her income in recent years has basically been managed by her mother, and her bank card is also in her mother's hands.
I only have one credit card for daily spending, and the limit on this card is limited.
This is why she wants to help these people and do something for them, and she needs her mother's consent.
In fact, what she said about taking back the bank card was more of a symbolic meaning.
After all, if she really wanted to get her card back, she only needed to go to the bank to apply for a new one, and she didn't need to ask her mother for it.
Even for those credit cards, she can cancel them at any time by just going to the bank.
She said that her intention in getting the bank card back was more about regaining control over her own property.
Seeing Choi Jin-ri's confident look at this moment, Goo Hara didn't know what to say, and she also supported Choi Jin-ri to get her bank card back.
After all, she was born in 94 and will be years old soon. Although according to Korean law, people are considered adults at the age of , but now she is old enough and has enough experience to control her own wealth.
And she also heard some things about Choi Jin-ri's family.
Now her family members basically depend on her for support.
Therefore, she supported Choi Jin-ri taking back control of the property, but now she was still a little worried when she saw Choi Jin-ri was angry.
"Truth, what do you want to do after you get the money back?"
"How to do it?"
Choi Jin-ri was a little confused for a moment when she heard Goo Hara's question.
The only thought in her mind now was to get back her bank card, regain control of her property, and then help those people.
But when asked by Goo Hara, she found that she didn't seem to have any plan, and she didn't even know what to do first.
When Goo Hara saw this situation, she had no intention of teasing Choi Jin-ri.
After all, she is not even eighteen years old yet, and she started her trainee career at a very young age, so it can be said that she has not had much contact with society.
Therefore, it is understandable that she doesn't know these.
So she pulled Choi Jin-ri over and started helping her analyze the situation.
"Truth, if you want to help them now, you must know what they need most, and then you can help them according to their needs."
Then she unpacked her understanding of the matter step by step and taught Choi Jin-ri a good lesson.
Cui Zhenli only heard it, and when he looked at her, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Hola, how do you know so much?"
"That's right. I am your unnie after all."
Goo Hara felt very proud at this moment as she listened to Choi Jinri's words and her admiring eyes.
But at the same time, he also recalled the days when he followed Huang Xu to set up the company.
It was precisely because of the experience of watching Huang Xu build up the company step by step that he was able to explain things to Choi Jin-ri bit by bit and break down the steps just now.
Therefore, while she was enjoying Choi Jin-ri's admiration, her eyes were also looking at the night sky outside the window.
"Oppa, what are you doing now?"
. . . . . .
"Dad, uncle, aunt, and aunt, this is where we will live for the next few days."
Huang Xu opened the door of the villa and began to introduce the villa to the people who had just arrived.
Several people looked at the villa brightly lit under the moonlight and were stunned for a moment.
Although they are not the kind of people who have never left their homes in their entire lives, they often go out to work during the slack season, and can be considered to have seen the appearance of big cities.
However, when I saw the villa in front of me, I was still shocked by the environment here.
After all, although they also went out to work, they had never seen such a scene as the one in front of them.
Although it is night now, there is no blue sky and white clouds, and we can't see the beach and waves.
But the brightly lit villa under the lights and the swimming pool lawn under the moonlight are shocking enough.
Huang Xu looked at the few people who were standing there in a daze. He did not urge them, but waited patiently for them to visit the villa.
He and his cousin Huang Chao first moved the things into the room, and then took a few elders to visit the villa.
Due to the stimulating environment of the villa today, and the fact that Huang Xu's uncle, aunt and father were all excited as it was their first time to fly, they did not fall asleep until the early morning.
Seeing that the lights in several rooms were turned off, Huang Xu took a dozen cold beers and went to the rooftop terrace.
Looking at the dark sea in the distance and the stars in the sky, Huang Xu slowly fell into calm.
“Isn’t it nice to feel this leisurely?”
"If you feel good, then enjoy it. You won't have time after the New Year."
"Aren't you asleep?"
Huang Xu looked at Huang Chao who suddenly appeared and seemed a little curious. After all, he had just seen that they were all asleep and that was why he came up.
"can not fall asleep?"
Huang Chao sat directly next to Huang Xu, opened a bottle of beer and started drinking.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
"No, it just feels a little unreal."
Some experiences in the past few days made him feel that the world was a little unreal, like a dream.
Ever since that day Huang Xu abandoned him and let him go home alone, he has hardly had a peaceful day.
Their hometown is located in the Central Plains, a traditional agricultural province.
Therefore, there are no well-known companies nearby, and apart from farming, they can only rely on working outside to supplement their family income.
Now that relatives and friends know that their family has become rich, many of them have come to them, wanting to see if there is any opportunity to make money with them.
However, since he was told by Huang Xu long ago that it was not the right time to recruit them, he could only postpone it for the time being.
He originally thought this matter was simple.
Anyway, it’s not that I won’t help you, it’s just that the time is not right now. Just be patient and wait for a while.
But he thought the matter was too simple.
Those people don't care about all this. They just know that you have become rich, so they want to become rich too, completely disregarding your wishes.
This is also the reason why they flew here overnight after seeing that Huang Xu had already rented a house.
I was really scared of being harassed by those people.
And this was just a kind of excitement. What really made him feel that life was a little unreal was the experience of taking a plane today and the surprise after seeing the villa. Although he had taken a few flights, he had never enjoyed the treatment of a first-class cabin.
Since the change was a last-minute decision, it is no longer possible to buy an economy class ticket.
There was no choice but to buy a first-class ticket which was several times more expensive.
It was also because of this flight that he felt the disparity of life for the first time.
He never thought that on the same plane, the first class cabin and the economy class at the back were two completely different worlds.
There were dozens or even more than a hundred people in the back, but only two or three flight attendants were providing service.
In the first-class cabin in the front, there were four or five flight attendants, and on average one flight attendant only served two or three people.
In addition to these, the space and comfort of the seats are also completely different.
It was the first time he knew that one didn’t have to sit all the time on an airplane, but could also lie down and rest.
In addition, the meals and beverages here are not available in the economy class at the back.
Even the waiting rooms are two completely different spaces.
Not to mention additional services such as early boarding and exclusive channels.
Finally, after coming here and looking at this villa and some of the facilities inside, he truly felt what the life of rich people is like.
Looking at Huang Chao's envious and yearning expression, Huang Xu observed Huang Chao calmly.
"Brother Chao, do you like this kind of villa? Do you want to buy one for yourself?"
"Who wouldn't like this big villa? It's just that I can't afford it."
Huang Chao looked bitter at this moment.
"And even if I can afford it, whether I can afford to live in it is another matter."
"Brother Chao, that's not necessarily true."
"How to say?"
"Do you know what my uncle and I are going to do next?"
"Well, I know a little bit."
"What if I tell you that in a few years, you will be able to afford and live in a villa like this?"
After Huang Xu finished speaking, he drank the beer in his hand and left the terrace. Only Huang Chao was left standing there in a daze.
Looking at Huang Xu's back that was about to disappear, Huang Chao opened his mouth but still didn't say anything.
The next morning, Huang Xu and Huang Chao waited for their elders to wake up, and then took them to travel around Lucheng and enjoy life in the seaside city.
And after his uncle Huang Wenfu arrived here from South Korea before the Spring Festival, Huang Xu and his whole family spent the first Spring Festival after Huang Xu's rebirth in Lucheng.
It is also the most unforgettable Spring Festival for their family.
Before, they had never thought that they would not spend the New Year at home. Instead, they came to the seaside and celebrated the holiday in this holiday resort.
During these few days, they saw the sea they had always dreamed of, as well as seafood and fruits that they had rarely seen before.
I also saw a lot of customs and practices that I had never seen before.
It can be said that it is the novelty of these things that allows them to temporarily forget the loss of "leaving their hometown".
However, Huang Xu did not stay with them until the end. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he flew to South Korea, to Seoul.
After getting off the plane, Huang Xu felt the temperature of Seoul and found it a little hard to accept for a while.
He was still in the warm tropics last night, wearing shorts and a vest, enjoying the enthusiasm of the seaside city.
As a result, today we arrived in Seoul, which was surrounded by ice and snow.
It is indeed difficult for him to accept the change from the "summer" with temperature of over 20 degrees Celsius to the "cold winter" with temperature of nearly minus 10 degrees Celsius.
After all, the temperature difference was too big. Even if I was wrapped in a thick down jacket, I still shivered after leaving the warm airport hall and feeling the coldness of the parking lot.
The good thing was that the car that was waiting to pick him up was relatively close, and he entered the warm car after just a few steps.
"Xiao Xu, you are too afraid of the cold."
"Try going from a tropical beach directly to a snowy place and see if you are afraid of the cold."
Huang Xu looked at Jiazhen in front of him, which looked like a small hill, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
After taking two sips of the hot coffee he bought, Huang Xu felt the coldness all over his body slowly leaving him, and then he unzipped his down jacket.
But even so, he kept complaining.
"Why do you have to make me come back? I told you, there's nothing for me to do today. It's fine as long as Jong Kook and Ha Ha are here. It's okay if I can't come. Is there anyone to watch over me?"
"You are also a major shareholder. We still need you to show up for the opening of the new store."
Jiazhen listened to Huang Xu's complaints without any emotion, but just kept comforting Huang Xu.
As Kim Jong Kook's agent, he is not only a work partner but also a good friend in life, so he knows clearly what Huang Xu means to this store.
It can be said that if Huang Xu had not joined, this store would not have opened, and even Kim Jong Kook might not have invested.
And apart from this, he actually has some little ideas.
The first batch of 20 Huang Xu’s Malatang franchise stores have now opened, and business is still booming.
Although Malatang is not a novelty to Koreans now, it is sold in many Chinese restaurants.
But I don’t know why, theirs are not as delicious as Huang Xu’s, and their business is not as good as theirs.
Therefore, even though there are more than 20 stores now, there are still long queues during meal times.
As Kim Jong Kook's agent, he knows a little more than others and knows that Huang Xu is now recruiting the second batch of franchisees.
So he thought about whether he could find an opportunity to talk to Huang Xu and ask him to reserve a spot for himself.
After all, considering how popular it is now, if you join it, you will definitely make money.
This is also the reason why, even though Huang Xu clearly said that there was no need to pick him up, he still made a special trip to pick up Huang Xu today.
I just wanted to leave a good impression on Huang Xu.
Not long after, Huang Xu was dragged by Jia Zhen to the entrance of the hotel.
However, Huang Xu looked at Kim Jong Kook and Haha, who were entertaining their friends and seemed very busy. He did not go over to disturb them, but stood in the distance and began to observe the external environment of the store.
Especially the newly renovated doorfront and the design of the exterior wall, Huang Xu couldn't help but nodded.
At least in terms of appearance, it is very different from before. The decorative graffiti that was full of Haha's personal characteristics has disappeared.
On the contrary, because of Huang Xu's suggestion, it has become a fresh and forest-like style.
While Huang Xu was still observing the environment, Kim Jong Kook also discovered Huang Xu and walked towards him with someone.
When Huang Xu looked at the person next to Kim Jong Kook, he was happy at first, then frowned.
"Why are you here?"
