Chapter 148 What do you think?
Twenty days later, Incheon Airport, South Korea.
Huang Xu looked at the familiar scenes around him and the people with black hair and black eyes, and he couldn't help but relax.
After all, he had been in that foreign country for more than half a month. Although South Korea was not his home country, it made him feel much more relaxed.
However, he did not stay for long. Instead, he went to the parking lot to look for it according to the information on his mobile phone.
But when he saw the car in the parking space and the person sitting in the driver's seat, he showed a surprised expression.
"Why are you the one picking me up? Where's Sunny?"
"Why? Are you surprised that I came to pick you up?"
Seeing Huang Xu looking up and down to find other people, Zheng Xiuyan said impatiently:
"Sunny didn't come, so I was alone."
"alright."
Huang Xu was genuinely surprised when he saw Jessica Jung's icy expression.
After all, this was only the third time he and Jessica Jung had met, and they had only exchanged a few words. In fact, she didn't treat him well the last time they met.
So how could I not be surprised when I saw her coming to pick me up today?
However, he did not worry too much about it. After all, this was a public place, and Jessica Jung's identity was sensitive. It would be bad if she was discovered, so he simply opened the trunk and moved his luggage in.
When Jessica Jung saw Huang Xu's disappointed expression, her happy mood suddenly turned bad.
At the same time, I also felt a little regretful. Why did I volunteer to pick up Huang Xu in the morning when Sunny said that she didn't have time to pick him up and wanted Taeyeon to help?
But now that she was here, there was no point in saying anything more. After seeing Huang Xu get in the car, she asked with a cold face:
"Where are we sending you? Your apartment in the south district?"
"Don't go there yet, go back to the company first."
After Huang Xu finished speaking, he told Zheng Xiuyan the address of the company.
Although he didn't know why Jessica Jung came to pick him up, he didn't intend to be polite. After telling her the destination, he adjusted the backrest of the seat and squinted his eyes.
Because of the time difference, the day and night in Korea and the United States are reversed.
When he boarded the plane there, it was daytime. After a day of flying and arriving here, according to his biological clock, it was actually time to go to bed.
He was very tired now, so after getting in the car, he lay down directly and prepared to rest for a while.
Huang Xu's actions stunned Jessica Jung.
After all, she is a member of Girls' Generation and the goddess of so many people. I came to pick him up in person, how dare he fall asleep in the car?
Shouldn’t you express your gratitude to yourself or have a chat with yourself?
At least you should ask why you picked him up yourself.
Thinking of this, her mood became even worse, and the expression on her face was so cold that it seemed as if she was frozen.
Although she really wanted to kick Huang Xu away, her basic qualities as a member of a girl group prevented her from doing so.
Finally, after thinking about the delicious food that Sunny brought back to the dormitory for a while, she found a reason to persuade herself to stay.
"Well, it's just a thank you gift for eating all her delicious food these past few days."
Jessica Jung comforted herself in this way, and then she concentrated on driving towards the address Huang Xu gave.
Soon, the vehicle drove into the underground garage of the office building.
After parking the car, Jessica Jung looked at Huang Xu who was sleeping soundly and couldn't help but mutter to herself with some curiosity.
"What kind of charm do you have that makes Sunny like you so much and even do such a thing?"
She is now really curious about what kind of person Huang Xu is.
The last time she was having dinner with Huang Xu, she discovered something wrong between Huang Xu and Goo Hara, at least their relationship was a little abnormal.
Therefore, after she left, she sent a special message to remind Sunny to be careful.
But what she didn't expect was that Sunny didn't say anything about the message she sent, and there was no change in her life, or even in her relationship with Goo Hara.
Even when he met her in private, she simply glossed over the issue and told him not to worry about her emotional issues.
Because of this, she also understood a little bit about the complicated relationship between the three of them.
But precisely because of this, she was curious about what kind of magic Huang Xu had.
Sunny and Goo Hara have achieved this.
"You didn't say he was handsome?"
Looking at Huang Xu's face, Jessica Jung made some comments that were not impolite, but it was still polite.
When she looked at Huang Xu's clothes, she frowned.
"What kind of taste is that? Don't you have anything more formal to wear?"
It's no wonder that she would complain like this. Huang Xu was wearing loose casual clothes at the moment, and he didn't look at all like the social elites in her impression.
And Huang Xu's outfit made her, who was very sensitive to fashion and even planned to become a designer, unable to bear it.
But she didn't have the chance to continue complaining, because Huang Xu had slowly opened his eyes.
"Hmm~hum~~"
With a low groan, Huang Xu sat up from his seat, stretched, and moved his body.
Looking at the familiar environment outside the car window, Huang Xu finally woke up.
“It’s here.”
"Well, we're here."
"Thank you. By the way, would you like to sit upstairs for a while and have a cup of tea?"
Huang Xu got out of the car and looked at Jessica Jung to express his gratitude, while also habitually extending an invitation.
However, what he didn't expect was that after hearing Huang Xu's invitation, Zheng Xiuyan actually nodded.
"Okay."
"??"
After hearing Jessica Jung's answer, Huang Xu stopped carrying the luggage and looked at Jessica Jung with a puzzled look.
After all, his answer was really beyond Huang Xu's imagination.
After all, he had just invited the other party out of habit or out of politeness, and the other party actually agreed.
This surprised him a little.
When Zheng Xiuyan saw Huang Xu's surprised expression, she felt secretly happy.
"You treated me like that just now."
Although he felt a sense of joy at having his revenge, he did not show it on the outside. Instead, he maintained an icy expression and said:
"Please leave your luggage in the car first. I'll take you there when you're done."
After saying that, he turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the elevator hall not far away, leaving Huang Xu behind with a confused look on his face.
But before she had walked far, she heard Huang Xu standing there calling her.
"Jessica Jung."
"what happened?"
When Zheng Xiuyan listened to Huang Xu's voice, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise up, but after turning around, she returned to her icy expression.
What she didn't expect was that after seeing her turn around, Huang Xu didn't say anything else, but stood there and pointed at her car and said.
"Your car is unlocked."
"Humph."
Hearing this, she could hardly maintain her icy expression. She could only quickly press the key in her hand, then turned and walked quickly towards the elevator hall in front.
"Jessica Jung, come back soon."
"what happened again?"
"You're going in the wrong direction."
When Jessica Jung heard this, she couldn't hold it together anymore and showed an embarrassed expression.
Even when she followed Huang Xu into the elevator, she didn't have the courage to look at Huang Xu's expression.
It was not until the elevator reached the floor where Huang Xu's company was located that she remembered something. She hurriedly took out her sunglasses from her bag and put them on.
Then he followed Huang Xu out of the elevator and came to Huang Xu's company.
At the same time, he also began to observe this place carefully and observe the situation of Huang Xu's company.
She had been interested in Huang Xu for a long time, and wanted to visit Huang Xu's company to learn about his business model. Of course, she didn't want to join Huang Xu's restaurant brand, but she wanted to see why a snack bar that she had never paid attention to before had become a gold mine in the eyes of those business tycoons.
This is also the reason why she volunteered today when she heard Sunny say that she had something to do and needed someone to pick up Huang Xu at the airport.
However, Huang Xu's company did not disappoint her. She was even a little shocked when she saw the front desk.
It’s not that Huang Xu’s company is decorated in a magnificent way or something.
If you just look at it from the surface, the decoration here even looks a little bit plain, but it is precisely because of this that she felt a little shocked.
Being able to reflect a sense of design in such a simple design really shows the skill.
At this moment, when Huang Xu saw Jessica Jung's shock, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
After all, the decoration inside the company was designed based on some pictures from later generations, so the aesthetic taste is naturally higher than that of the present era.
However, he did not show his pride. Instead, he took her directly into the company and brought her to his office.
Looking at Jessica Jung who was still looking around at the surroundings, Huang Xu asked.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Just drink tea. Didn't you say you would treat me to tea?"
Hearing Huang Xu's question, Zheng Xiuyan did not hesitate and directly mentioned the matter of drinking tea that Huang Xu had just mentioned.
"No problem, check out what kind of tea you want."
As Huang Xu spoke, he invited Zheng Xiuyan to sit at the tea table, took out several types of tea from his collection and started asking her about them.
"I'm fine with that. Just drink your normal drink."
Jessica Jung looked at the various tea sets on the tea table and was quite curious.
She was born in the United States, and although she later came to South Korea to work and live, her living habits are basically still those of Americans.
In daily life, the most commonly consumed beverages are various types of coffee, and we have never come into contact with tea.
Therefore, he looked at the things on Huang Xu's tea table with curiosity.
Huang Xu looked at Jessica Jung in front of him and, without hesitation, took out the Pu'er tea that he had used to entertain Kim Jong Kook and the others and started brewing it.
As he made tea smoothly, he kept talking about all kinds of tea knowledge, which made Jessica Jung feel even more surprised.
In her impression, tea is something that should be drunk by the elderly and young people should not drink it.
However, when he saw Huang Xu's actions, his explanations, and the fragrance of the amber tea in front of him, he felt an inexplicable sense of novelty.
And after actually drinking the tea brewed by Huang Xu, it gave her an experience she had never had before.
After drinking two cups of tea, Huang Xu felt helpless when he saw that Jessica Jung still didn't say what she wanted to talk to him about.
But there is no good solution.
After all, although he really wanted to know why Jessica Jung came to see him today, once he really asked, things became a little passive, so he could only endure it.
As for how Huang Xu knew that she had something to do with him, that was very simple.
She came to pick me up today and followed me to the company, which proved that she definitely had something she wanted to talk to me about.
Otherwise, why would she, a popular idol, waste so much time on herself?
So after chatting about tea for a while and seeing that she still had no intention of speaking, Huang Xu took the opportunity when the secretary came to find him and left the office directly to start busying himself with company matters.
Although his uncle now helps manage his company, it doesn't mean he doesn't have to do anything.
Even many things require his supervision and even acceptance.
After all, he was the one who came up with the ideas for many things, and his uncle was the one who led people to realize his ideas.
This time I was away for nearly twenty days. Although I kept in touch by phone, how could the phone communication be as convenient and intuitive as face-to-face communication?
Therefore, after he left the office, Huang Xu began to check the tasks he had assigned before he left.
The first thing is to carry out the previously arranged recruitment of programmers.
Twenty days have passed now, and we should be able to recruit quite a few people.
He needs to go over to meet them and also check on their work progress in the past few days.
Although he doesn't understand IT and doesn't know some of the ins and outs of it, he knows what he needs.
Based on his previous arrangements, these people should have roughly developed the software by now.
After all, those functions are relatively simple to implement. To put it bluntly, it is just a calendar plus some calculation functions.
It's so simple that if Huang Xu didn't have any follow-up plans, he could basically outsource these things, spend a little money, and get the finished product in a week.
Besides this matter, he also has other work to deal with.
The progress of the 15 fully rented houses under the company's name, as well as the progress of the decoration of the second batch of franchise stores.
It took him a whole afternoon just to check the progress of these issues and to meet with these employees to arrange the next work.
His already tired state made him look even more exhausted, and he even forgot about Jessica Jung who was waiting for him in his office.
Therefore, when he returned to the office and saw Zheng Xiuyan still drinking tea in his office, he was just surprised and exclaimed:
"Why are you still here?"
But as soon as he said this, Huang Xu secretly said.
"Oops."
I wasn't paying attention just now and said the wrong thing.
Moreover, making such a beautiful woman wait for him, even for an entire afternoon, I did do something wrong.
Then he closed his eyes resignedly, ready to face the crazy complaints or outbursts that would follow.
What Huang Xu didn't expect was that Jessica Jung was not angry at all, and even responded calmly.
"Where would I be if I'm not here? Didn't I say I would take you home?"
He also made a cup of tea for Huang Xu and brought it to him.
"Have a cup of tea and take a rest. You look very tired now."
Huang Xu was completely stunned by Jessica Jung's reaction. He had never expected that she would behave like this.
Looking at Huang Xu's dazed look, Zheng Xiuyeon said something in her heart at this time.
"Humph, man, I still have you under my control."
In fact, she was very angry in the afternoon because she couldn't wait for Huang Xu to come back.
After Huang Xu left the office in the afternoon, she drank tea quietly at first, waiting for Huang Xu to come back.
After all, I really had something to talk to him about, which was why I waited for him so patiently.
However, as time passed, her patience was gradually exhausted.
After all, more than an hour has passed since she entered the door, and Huang Xu has not returned yet, which makes her a little angry.
So she picked up her bag and wanted to leave.
However, after she opened the door and saw Huang Xu accepting reports from employees and arranging the next work in the conference room over there, the resentment in her heart disappeared immediately.
He turned around quietly and returned to Huang Xu's office, patiently waiting for Huang Xu to come back, and has been waiting until now.
After watching Huang Xu finish his tea, Zheng Xiuyan took his cup.
"Are you done now?"
"Busy working."
"Let's go then."
"Let's go? Where are we going?"
"What do you say?"
Four thousand seven hundred words, and three thousand words still owed.
I had finished writing the second chapter early yesterday morning, but after taking a look at what I had written, I deleted it.
And this part of the plot was skipped directly.
After all, what is written is a bit old-fashioned and even a bit watery.
As for the missing content in the middle, let me keep it a secret. It will be slowly revealed in the following plot.
