Chapter 128: Franchise Progress and Full Rental
"Truth, have you ever thought about helping more people?"

"Ugh?"

Choi Sulli, who was savoring the delicious food she had just eaten, stared blankly at Huang Xu, and had not yet reacted to what Huang Xu meant.

After all, we were just discussing food, why are you asking this now?

But after being stunned for a second, he immediately looked at Huang Xu happily and said:

"Oppa, I definitely want to help more people. Do you have any good ideas?"

Choi Jin-ri was very excited, and Sunny and Goo Hara also turned their eyes to Huang Xu, wanting to know the specific method.

After all, it can help more people, and they also want to know more.

But when Huang Xu looked at Cui Zhenli's innocent smile, he suddenly hesitated.

Although the method he is preparing now, if used well, will indeed enable her to help more people and make her reputation far exceed that of her previous life.

But this also has a big side effect, which is that it is easy to get into trouble.

So Huang Xu looked at Cui Zhenli's childish face and felt hesitant.

After all, Choi Jin-ri is not yet eighteen years old. Not to mention that in Korea people are considered adults at the age of twenty, even according to the Chinese calculation method, she is not an adult yet. It is better not to use such a dangerous method.

So he nodded slowly under the expectant gazes of the three people.

"I understand. I'll tell you when the opportunity comes."

After saying that, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

This action made Sunny and the other two very angry. How could someone only speak half of his words?

They had high expectations and wanted to hear what Huang Xu had to say, but Huang Xu didn't say anything, so they started questioning him.

But at this time, Huang Xu kept his mouth shut. No matter what they said, he refused to express his thoughts. He just dealt with the three of them with the words "the time is not right yet".

Seeing that Huang Xu was so stubborn, Sunny and the other two had no other choice but to angrily hand over the task of cleaning up the dishes to Huang Xu, and they went to play games.

But what they didn't see was that Huang Xu was watching the three of them playing games, muttering to himself.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but it's really inappropriate."

After thinking for such a long time, Huang Xu found that he was still a little impulsive.

His original intention was good. He just wanted to help Choi Jin-ri, so that she could help more people, enjoy a certain status, and completely solve the problems of her previous life.

The problem is that the risk is a little bit too high, so Huang Xu stopped talking about it.

Just now while eating, Huang Xu looked at Cui Zhenli and suddenly remembered why she had suffered cyber violence in her previous life.

That's because her ideas are so advanced, and she has a sense of women's rights awakening. She wants to speak for women and help women.

There is certainly nothing wrong with doing this, but her mistake is that as a girl group idol and a public figure, she is always at the forefront like a charging general.

I believe that without much explanation, most people have some understanding of how magical Korean society is.

Even the stories about female boxers that Huang Xu saw in domestic news in later generations were basically left over from South Korea.

And don't forget, Korean girls are really tough. They are different from those in China who only talk the talk. They do what they say.

Therefore, the idea that Huang Xu just came to his mind was to see if he could let Choi Jin-ri act as a charity representative to publicly provide assistance to those poor girls.

This will allow her to establish a charitable personality, which will later serve as a talisman in Korea.

But just when he was about to say it, he held back.

Cui Zhenli is just a girl under 18 years old, her mind and experience are not mature yet. If she is praised too much now, she will be easily exploited by those with ulterior motives.

If I were to be treated as the vanguard of the charge and the number one target of attack by the opponents like in my previous life, it would be really a headache.

So Huang Xu quietly finished eating the remaining seafood, and after cleaning up everything, he did not leave the kitchen immediately.

Instead, he was peeling garlic in the kitchen by himself, preparing to make some garlic sauce.

Today he saw that several people liked it very much, so he planned to make some more and let them take it away when they left.

After all, this thing can still be stored for some time after it is made.

After they take it back to the dormitory or apartment, when they want to eat the garlic seafood, they can just take it out and steam it.

After making the garlic sauce and putting it in a bag, Huang Xu walked into the living room and started playing games with the three of them.

However, since most of the games here are played by one or two people, there are basically no games played by four people together.

The switch, a party artifact of later generations, was nowhere to be found, so the four of them split into two teams.

Huang Xu and Sunny, who have a lot of experience in the game, served as captains of the two teams, leading Goo Hara and Choi Sulli to play in the game respectively.

However, it is precisely because of this distribution that the overall atmosphere and experience of the few people are quite good.

Maybe because they had someone to play with, the four of them had a lot of fun. Before they knew it, it was evening and they slept directly at Huang Xu's house.

Fortunately, Huang Xu's house had Gu Hara and Choi Jin-ri's things, so they could live there.

However, their trip ended here, and early the next morning, they all asked to leave.

Especially Choi Sulli and Sunny had something to do in the company, so they needed to go to the company and drove away early in the morning.

As for Goo Hara, she originally had nothing to do, but since they all left, she felt embarrassed to stay any longer.

So early the next morning, Huang Xu was alone again.

But he didn't complain. After all, Huang Xu had already accepted the fact that Sunny and the others were busy.

And she has only been busy in the past few years. After her peak period is over, she will continue to be a stay-at-home girl, the kind who won't go out unless she has nothing to do.

By that time, they had enough time to spend together.

So, looking at the three people leaving, Huang Xu also came to the company at this time.

He is now different from when he just won the award half a year ago. He can no longer be like before, doing nothing every day and just having fun.

He also has a lot of things to deal with now.

After arriving at the company, he went directly to his uncle Huang Wenfu's office.

After all, the company had already started work yesterday, and his uncle Huang Wenfu had also returned to Seoul yesterday and started working.

Although it doesn't matter whether Huang Xu comes or not with his uncle around, but as the boss of the company and the largest shareholder, he still needs to show up after the New Year.

What he didn't expect was that his uncle gave him a big surprise just after he met him.

"Uncle, are you saying that there are more than a hundred companies applying to join?" Huang Xu looked at Huang Wenfu in surprise, with a hint of disbelief on his face.

He was indeed quite shocked by this number, and even worried that he might have heard it wrongly.

Huang Wenfu was very happy when he saw Huang Xu's surprised expression. After all, it was very rare for him to see Huang Xu's expression like this.

In the past, Huang Xu always acted with ease no matter what he encountered, and rarely showed such a surprised expression.

Huang Wenfu was still very happy to see this expression on his face now.

However, he did not let Huang Xu wait too long and directly handed the documents in his hand to Huang Xu.

"You can take a look for yourself, this is the current list."

"Is it true?"

Huang Xu looked at the dense information on the list and felt a little emotional.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he actually confirmed the authenticity of the number.

According to his previous estimates, there shouldn't be so many people joining now.

Although there were more than a hundred companies applying to join in the first round, that was when they were very popular on the Internet.

And there are many people who don’t really want to join, they just want to give it a try.

And don't forget, at this point in time, a long time has passed since their time. Although their business is still booming, there is a clear gap compared to the beginning.

The most important thing is that in addition to their spicy hot pot, many other businesses have started selling it on the market.

That's why he was a little surprised when he saw the number of franchises.

After all, according to his plan, if he could get more than fifty franchise applications, it would be considered a great success.

Just by looking at the list in front of him, Huang Xu knew the truth of this matter, but he still said something out of curiosity.

"What do they think?"

"I don't know, but it's a good thing, isn't it?"

"Indeed, it just feels a bit dreamy."

"Don't worry about whether it's a dream or not. Since there are so many of them, just wait to collect the money."

Huang Xu couldn't care less about so many things at this time, let alone why there were so many applications. But for Huang Xu, as long as he could receive the franchise fee, he would be willing to join as many companies as they wanted.

After all, these are all giving money to themselves, and it is not a one-time business. Even in the next few years, it will be their cash cow.

Even just from the franchise fees, their income this time may exceed 10 billion won.

This is not a small amount of money. If they have no aspirations, they can consider retirement after receiving this money.

"Understood. I will urge them to transfer the money as soon as possible in the next two days."

"By the way, uncle, if we open so many stores at once, will we have enough manpower?"

Although Huang Xu was almost overwhelmed by this number, he calmed down later and began to care about the issue of manpower.

You have to know that this time there are more than a hundred stores, which is incomparable to the workload when there were more than twenty stores before.

"Don't worry, they are fine now. Although they are a little short of manpower, it is not a big problem now, and they will not open at the same time."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Huang Xu breathed a sigh of relief. According to the current situation, all they had to do next was wait to collect the money.

Although Huang Xu stopped talking, Huang Wenfu, who was sitting opposite him, started to flatter Huang Xu.

After all, if it weren’t for Huang Xu’s persistence, they wouldn’t have so many people now.

Naturally, it is impossible to take over these more than one hundred franchisees.

However, faced with his uncle's flattery, Huang Xu simply ran away.

If it was other people's flattery, Huang Xu could still maintain his interest and listen to their flattery.

But if the person on the other side is your uncle, then the situation will be a little different.

After he left his uncle's office, he did not leave the company. Instead, he found the employee in charge of handling the house purchase procedures and began to care about the houses he had purchased.

The company now owns more than a dozen houses. Not only does it need someone to handle various procedures, but it also needs someone to clean the houses and do some simple decoration and maintenance.

So for the next two days, Huang Xu followed them and took a good look at the house that already belonged to the company.

These houses are related to his full rental plan, so naturally he needs to keep an eye on their progress.

However, when Huang Xu saw that most of the houses had already started to be renovated, and some houses had even entered the final stage, Huang Xu was still quite happy.

After all, this means that these houses can be rented out immediately.

His plan of renting the entire house can now be implemented.

Therefore, Huang Xu has been watching the progress of the house renovation carefully for the past two or three days, and also raised some problems he found.

Although he is not a professional, he has renovated several houses after all, and has his own experience in house decoration.

After all this was done, Huang Xu did not rest, but directly boarded the plane back home.

In fact, according to the plan before the New Year, he shouldn't have come back so soon after the New Year.

He probably won't even return to Korea throughout February.

Instead, we select products, adjust flavors, and recruit staff domestically.

But no matter how good his plan was, it couldn't keep up with the changes in things. He still came to Korea and was delayed for such a long time.

But now that he had finished his work, he flew back to China as quickly as possible to continue what he had not completed when he was young.

When Huang Xu pushed his luggage and walked out of the exit, he did not see his cousin Huang Chao.

After all, at this time, he is in Lucheng, Qiong Province, enjoying a seaside holiday with his elders.

However, Huang Xu looked at the smiling person in front of him and stretched out his arms and gave him a warm hug.

"Long time no see, Rui Ge."

　Thank you for Bing's monthly ticket support, thank you!
