Chapter 172: Housewarming Party and Shock
Just when Jessica Jung asked Huang Xu why he hadn't come back yet, Huang Xu was in a cafe not far from the apartment, looking at the man in front of him with some surprise.

"You mean, Kim Kwang-soo is seeking financing?"

Huang Xu was in a coffee shop at this time, with a serious expression on his face. Obviously, something happened that he had not expected.

The middle-aged man nodded and gave a definite answer.

"Yes."

"That's a bit difficult, isn't it?"

When Huang Xu saw this situation, his lucky mentality disappeared and he frowned.

According to his original plan, he was going to buy Tara from their original agency while they were being boycotted and unable to make money.

But now an unexpected thing has happened. Their company, Core Contents Media's boss Kim Kwang-soo, is now looking for new investors, which surprised Huang Xu a little.

If Kim Kwang-soo finds a suitable investor, some of his subsequent plans may not be implemented.

Especially now that he has invested a lot of time and energy in this matter, it would be a bit uncomfortable if it affects his plans in the end.

"Do you know who he has contacted now?"

"What we know now is that he is in contact with CJ Group. As for whether there are other companies, we need to inquire further."

The middle-aged man opposite Huang Xu looked at Huang Xu's young frown and answered carefully.

Huang Xu looked at his cautious appearance, and his tense expression relaxed a little, and then he spoke to him.

"Okay, then please ask Section Chief Jin, no, I should say future President Jin, to continue to inquire and find out who he has contacted now. Even if it costs some money, it's no problem as long as there is relatively accurate information."

"Okay Mr. Huang, then I'll find some old friends and ask around."

After hearing what Huang Xu said, the middle-aged man opposite said goodbye.

Huang Xu looked at his departing back and did not leave the cafe directly. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and transferred 20 million won to his account as activity funds, then slowly stood up and left.

This middle-aged man's name is Kim Tae-woo, a very ordinary name, which is very common in Korea.

He is Huang Xu, who found the future general manager, or president, of the agency through the relationship with Sunny’s father.

According to Huang Xu's plan, he wanted to set up an agency in South Korea, so naturally he needed some veterans who were familiar with all aspects of the Korean entertainment industry.

And Kim Tae-woo is the person who perfectly meets his needs.

Before Sunny's father's agency went bankrupt, he had been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and had worked in Sunny's family company for several years. Later, when Sunny's company went bankrupt, he jumped to other entertainment agencies.

Because of his age, he has relatively rich experience and is familiar with various affairs, but also because of his age, he cannot move to the top level and can only be a small leader in the middle level.

Although the income is acceptable, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the relatively high consumption in Seoul.

Therefore, after receiving Huang Xu's invitation, he excitedly agreed.

As he is in middle age, now is the time when he needs to spend money the most.

Whether it is the elderly at home or the children who are in school, the necessary expenses every year make him a little stretched.

Faced with Huang Xu's offer of the position of president of the new agency and the high salary, he agreed directly after asking clearly.

After all, if there hadn't been Huang Xu's invitation, given his current development trend, he wouldn't have much chance in the future.

So before quitting his job, he started helping Huang Xu.

After all, for him, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, it will be difficult for him to reach the top in his life.

And it is very likely that you will not be able to keep your current job because of the midlife crisis.

Therefore, after accepting Huang Xu's invitation, I began to care about Tara and Kim Kwang Soo.

It was because he had heard some information today that he was so anxious to find Huang Xu and wanted to meet him.

As Huang Xu left the coffee shop and headed back to his apartment, he was still thinking about the information he had just received.

After all, this news was quite sudden for Huang Xu.

When making the plan, he never thought that he would encounter the current situation, so he did not have an emergency plan.

Especially since Kim Kwang-soo is currently in contact with CJ Group, Huang Xu can't help but treat it with caution.

CJ Group is a large multinational company that has been established for more than half a century. It was originally a subsidiary of Samsung and its only business was sugar production.

After more than half a century of development, CJ Group has now become a multinational corporation spanning four core business areas: food and catering services, bioengineering, entertainment and media, and new distribution.

It is also one of the top multinational companies in South Korea.

Of course, there is another name, that is South Korea’s top chaebol.

This is also the reason why Huang Xu is so cautious.

After his rebirth, he had always wanted to avoid contact with the chaebols. Now that he suddenly heard it, Huang Xu was still a little worried.

Given the status and uniqueness of Korean chaebols in Korea, I believe that anyone who knows something about Korea will not doubt their abilities.

Although we cannot say that one can act lawless in South Korea, we can certainly say that one is unscrupulous.

Even if they break the law, they can escape punishment through various means. At most, they can hide for a few months and then come out to live freely again.

Facing them, Huang Xu couldn't help but be cautious.

Of course, this is also the reason why Huang Xu went to the United States specifically to find James, an American.

Although James lives a rather poor life in the United States, he is an American after all, and a Jewish American at that.

In Korea, his status is that of a superior person.

Of course, there is another more important reason why Huang Xu chose him, that is, when he was serving in the military, he served at the Yongsan Base in South Korea.

Although he has retired for many years, there are still several of his peers who have not retired yet and are still serving as middle-level leaders in the base in South Korea.

This is why Huang Xu chose James to be his white glove.

As long as he is here and Huang Xu is not directly exposed to outsiders, the company will be relatively safe.

At least no one will deliberately trip you up or do something dirty.

At the same time, only with his identity can Tara and others release the evidence without being held accountable by the people behind the scenes.

After all, the fact that Tara and others were boycotted by the entire network has become a fact, and the purpose of the people behind it, to divert people's attention, has also been achieved.

As long as they do not implicate the people behind the scenes when publishing the evidence, they will most likely be able to clear themselves of their grievances.

However, what to do specifically at that time still needs professional personnel to formulate a plan. The most important thing for Huang Xu now is to buy them first.

Although Huang Xu had a headache, he did not continue to worry. After all, even if he did not buy Tara and the others, it would not affect his future life.

At most, some previous plans need to be modified.

So after thinking for a while, Huang Xu put the matter of Tara and the others behind his mind, and then began to worry about tonight's dinner.

Today is Sunny’s housewarming party, and all eight of her teammates will be coming, so they need to be treated well.

Therefore, when Huang Xu was about to reach the apartment, he did not go in directly, but went to the coffee shop next door first, bought some coffee and dessert, and then returned to the apartment.

However, after Huang Xu opened the door, although he was mentally prepared, his heart still beat wildly when he saw the room full of girls.

It’s not like he had never seen several girls gathered together before, but how could such scenes outside be compared with the scene before him?
This is my own home, not the public place as before.

Fortunately, Huang Xu was only stunned for a moment, and then he showed an apologetic expression to Sunny who came to greet him at the door.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"It's alright, are you done with your work?"

Sunny also gladly accepted Huang Xu's apology.

After all, she had known Huang Xu for nearly a year and had a deep understanding of him, so she knew that he would not run away at the last minute unless he had something important to do.

After Huang Xu nodded in confirmation, she took Huang Xu to the living room and introduced him to them under the gaze of several teammates:
"Okay, although this isn't the first time we meet, I still have to introduce myself. This is my boyfriend Huang Xu."

"Hello everyone, I am Sunny's boyfriend: Huang Xu."

Huang Xu saw Sunny introducing herself so solemnly, so he also introduced himself solemnly to the few people.

However, when Huang Xu finished introducing himself and greeting a few people, out of the corner of his eye he saw Goo Hara standing blankly on the periphery, watching him and a few members of Girls' Generation greeting each other.

This discovery made Huang Xu's heart skip a beat, and then he felt a little sorry.

Therefore, he saw a hint of envy in Goo Hara's eyes.

But in this situation, Huang Xu didn't have any good solution, and he had no way to go up to comfort her. He could only say hello to the girls from Girls' Generation and then gently hold her hand when he passed by her, as a kind of comfort.

After all, today is Sunny’s housewarming party, so it’s not appropriate to act too close to her.

Therefore, he could only act very cautiously and carefully hide his relationship with Goo Hara. After he greeted a few people, he quickly walked into the kitchen and put the final touches on the ingredients that Sunny and Goo Hara had prepared.

The dish he made today was Chinese porridge-based hotpot. Although this kind of hotpot was a bit complicated to prepare, it was actually very simple.

To put it simply, this is a porridge made from rice, which is used to cook various seafood, meat and vegetables, and then eaten with seasonings.

This kind of hotpot was eaten the last time we went to China. Both Sunny and Goo Hara liked it very much.

The most important thing is that this kind of food is not that complicated to eat, although it is a little troublesome to prepare.

All you need are two electric cooking pots, put the cooked porridge water in them, and then put the cleaned seafood and meat in.

Not only does it taste fresh and delicious, it is also suitable for idols like them who need to manage their body shape.

The most important thing is that it allows several teammates to taste the delicious Chinese food.

Since Sunny and Goo Hara had already made preparations, Huang Xu just made a sauce and asked a few people to bring the ingredients to the coffee table in the living room.

The customs in Korea are very different from those in China. People here like to sit on the floor when they have a meal together.

A normal dining table like the one in Huang Xujiang District’s home is actually very rare for many young people.

However, this is also because there is relatively little land in Seoul, and many young people live without dedicated restaurants. When they eat, they can only sit on the floor in the living room or eat on the coffee table.

In short, the most common thing that young people here do when they have a meal together is to sit on the floor around a table.

This is what Huang Xu prepared today at Sunny Apartment.

And to be honest, this is the only way.

There is no way. Today, there are nine people in Sunny's group. With Huang Xu himself and Goo Hara, the number of people has reached eleven.

If you want to eat at a dining table, you will need a large dining table, or even a round table like those used in restaurants.

It’s not that they don’t have enough space or that they can’t afford a round dining table, but that there is no need.

After all, there are only two or three people eating at that table on weekdays, which is really a waste.

And sitting on the floor in the living room is also a good choice.

It will make the people participating in the dinner seem more intimate.

However, what Huang Xu did not expect was that after the members of Girls' Generation tasted the porridge-based hotpot and praised it highly, they shifted the topic to Huang Xu.

He began to ask Huang Xu a series of questions.

"Where is your hometown?"

"Who else is at home?"

"How did you get to know Sunny?"

"What do you do now?"

"."

A series of questions came at Huang Xu like a rain of arrows, making it difficult for Huang Xu to resist for a while.

Just after Huang Xu finally answered their questions clearly and thought he had finally passed this hurdle, Zheng Xiuyan, who had been very quiet, suddenly looked at Huang Xu who was wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Huang Xuxi, Sunny just said that you came back so late this afternoon. Is it because of something urgent? What is it? Can it be more important than the joy of moving into a new house?"

"Um, it's a company issue that I need to deal with."

Huang Xu looked at Zheng Xiuyan and listened to her malicious questions. At this time, he could only answer carefully.

At the same time, he was also quite curious about what Jessica Jung meant.

I haven't offended her, have I?
Why are they targeting me like this?

This made Huang Xu look a little confused.

What Huang Xu didn't expect was that even though he had already answered her question and didn't intend to explain it in detail, she still didn't intend to let him go, but continued to ask coldly:

"Can you please tell me what the problem is? We know a lot of people here, maybe they can help?"

"Well, OK, my company's software users have exceeded two million, and we are currently discussing the next plan. Do you have any good suggestions?"

When Huang Xu heard that Jessica Jung was going to continue her attack, his expression changed slightly. He felt that Jessica Jung's behavior today was a little crazy.

Apart from the last time she picked me up, it seems like we haven't had any other dealings with each other?

Why are they targeting me like this?

Due to Jessica Jung's aggressiveness and Huang Xu's blunt answer, several members of Girls' Generation finally realized that something was wrong, and they all focused their attention on the two of them.

I want to understand how things got to this point when everything was fine just now.

But due to the pressure from Jessica Jung, they didn't dare to say too much. Only Kim Taeyeon, who was opposite Jessica Jung, gently lifted Jessica Jung with her foot because of her status as the captain.

Signaling her to pay attention.

Then he said to Huang Xu:
"A software with two million users? That's awesome. What's it called? My teammates and I can help promote it on Twitter."

"Yeah? We can help too."

At this time, the other members of Girls' Generation also heard what Kim Taeyeon said, and they all said something to Huang Xu.

After all, the atmosphere is so awkward now, they need to ease it.

Huang Xu saw this situation, and his anger dissipated a lot. He took out his cell phone and introduced it to several people:
"This is it, the Mayu APP, an app that focuses on women's health."

"Did you make Meiyou?"

Before Huang Xu finished his introduction, he saw the surprised expressions on the faces of the Girls' Generation members across from him.

But it’s no wonder they were so surprised. It’s because in the past ten days, the name Miyu has become a household name among the women in Seoul.

Nowadays, young women in Seoul have installed the Mayu app on their mobile phones.

A dozen days ago, this software was still an unfamiliar APP, and it was just following a charity organization that cared about women's health to promote knowledge about women's physiological health.

Now, more than ten days later, this software can be said to have entered the mobile phones of a large number of women working and living in Seoul.

Even popular idols like them have been recommended by different people through various channels, and now several people have installed this software on their mobile phones.

Therefore, they were surprised by what Huang Xu said just now, that the number of users has reached two million.

You have to know that the current permanent population of Seoul is only around 8 to 9 million, which is still a long way from the level of 10 million.

After removing half of the men and subtracting some women who are too old or too young, the software now has two million users, which can be said to have reached its limit.

At least the vast majority of young women have basically installed this software.

Although they still don't know what Huang Xu is going to do with this free software, it doesn't stop them from admiring Huang Xu.

Also, they had an inexplicable liking for Huang Xu.

After all, he was the first person to think of making health software for women, and he was also the first person to make software specifically for women.

Therefore, there was a slight change in the way several people looked at Huang Xu.

Among them was the aggressive Jessica Jung, whose expression looked very complicated at this moment.

However, Huang Xu no longer had time to care about these things. He was now surrounded by several excited people and started asking questions again.

"Huang, son-in-law, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this software?"

"This software is really easy to use. Many people have recommended it to me."

"Can you add other functions to this software later?"

“Will this software always be free in the future?”

"."

Huang Xu looked at the girls who suddenly became enthusiastic again. He felt a little overwhelmed at this moment, but there was also a hint of secret joy in his heart.

After all, the goddess whom he had never seen in his previous life was now asking him all kinds of questions. How could he not be happy?

However, his secret joy only lasted for a few minutes. Huang Xu, who was troubled by the chattering questions of several people, looked at Sunny and Goo Hara after a few minutes, wanting to seek their help.

However, after seeing Huang Xu's pleading look, Sunny ignored him and picked up a prawn and boiled it in the pot.

He also pulled Goo Hara who was beside him and wanted to say something.

"Hola, don't worry about him. You should eat more. You've worked hard tonight."

　Five thousand six hundred words are presented here.
