Chapter 189 Is it them?

A few hours later, in a cafe near CCM Company.

Huang Xu looked at Kim Tae-woo and James in surprise, obviously unable to believe what he had just said.

"He agrees now?"

"Yes, I agree."

Kim Tae-woo's expression at this moment was also very complicated. Obviously, he was a little bit unbelievable about what had just happened.

He never thought that Kim Kwang Soo would agree to this matter so easily.

Originally they thought that they would have to spend some time to persuade him after finding him, but just now, after he brought James to find Kim Kwang Soo, they didn't even say a few words, or even just stated their identities and said they wanted to invest in their company, Kim Kwang Soo agreed directly and readily.

Yes, he agreed.

Kim Kwang-soo was confused for a while when they first came in, but after listening to James' self-introduction and purpose of his visit, he only thought about it for a moment and directly agreed to their request to invest in the shares, appearing extremely straightforward.

His straightforwardness actually stunned Kim Tae-woo and James.

However, now that things have progressed to this point, no matter how confused they are, they can only bury it in their hearts and then begin to discuss some details of the financing.

For example, the company’s valuation?

Issues such as future management positions.

But these are minor issues. Now that the general direction has been determined, all that remains are the details.

After discussing for a while, they left CCM and agreed to have another meeting in a few days to discuss the details.

And he also needs to prepare some relevant information in these few days.

Huang Xu listened to Jin Taiyu's story, and both his expression and mind were a little confused.

It was a bit unexpected that he could achieve his goal so easily. At the same time, he was also a little confused about what Kim Kwang-soo was thinking.

Are they afraid of James' American identity and want to hold him back for the time being?
Or is it that he and his company are really in a serious financial crisis and are about to collapse?
Or does he have other plans?

Huang Xu kept guessing in his mind about Kim Kwang Soo's thoughts, trying to see if he could guess why he did this today.

However, Huang Xu thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out Kim Kwang Soo's thoughts, so he could only give up thinking about it for the time being.

Anyway, just like what James' companion, Smith, a mid-level officer of the US military stationed in South Korea, said, how could he dare not sell it?

Just because of their status as a garrison, few people in South Korea dare to go against them.

Even those chaebols who claim that they are the masters of South Korea will not lose face because of such a small matter.

Therefore, Huang Xu directly said to the two of them:

"Okay, let's just leave it at that for now. Anyway, in a couple of days, we'll know exactly what he thinks."

"Well, Jin Taiyuxi, no, I'm going to call you President Jin now, so the company's location issue will be handed over to you. For the house we went to see last time, you go and discuss the price and time of the lease with the owner."

"Understood. I will make an appointment with the landlord to discuss this matter tomorrow morning."

When Kim Tae-woo heard Huang Xu's address to him, the joy on his face was beyond words, and he excitedly stated that he would start working on this matter early tomorrow morning.

Now that he is only one step away from his dream of becoming the president, he will naturally redouble his efforts and continue to show his loyalty to Huang Xu.

"I will definitely ask the boss to rent the house to our company at the most favorable price."

"Well, hard work."

After Huang Xu nodded to Kim Tae-woo, he turned his attention to James.

"James, although Kim Kwang-soo is more cooperative, you still can't relax. The things arranged before may still need to proceed as planned."

"Okay BOSS."

When James heard what Huang Xu said, he immediately agreed, but then asked some questions.

"But Boss, what should be the limit when you interact with her from now on?"

"Uh~~~"

When Huang Xu heard this, he was also a little worried.

At first, he just wanted Tara's people to act as James' girlfriend, then confuse the people outside and give James a reason to take action.

But now James suddenly asked him about the scale, so Huang Xu had a headache.

He had never thought about the current problem before. Even if it weren't for the incident a few days ago, Huang Xu wouldn't be so concerned about the scale of their relationship.

But Huang Xu now found it difficult to say "whatever you want".

After all, if they say something casual, then it is foreseeable that the scale of James and Park Hyomin's interactions in the future will definitely not be small, and there may even be some extremely intimate scenes.

Not to mention James, who received American education, he can be said to be quite open-minded about love between men and women.

He also spent several years in the Korean Army, so he is more casual about matters between men and women.

Take Park Hyomin for example. Her obsession with success and fame is quite deep.

Didn’t you see that the last time she met him, in order to let him see her determination and faith, she directly showed her body to Huang Xu as a commodity.

Therefore, if Huang Xu really said something casual, then one can imagine what would happen to them.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Xu is a little hesitant about how he should let them get along with each other.

On the one hand, the more they look like a real couple, the smaller the flaws in this matter will be, and the matter will be more secretive and less likely to be discovered.

On the other hand, the body he saw a few days ago kept circling in his mind, and the expression of fear yet determination on her face at that time made Huang Xu feel a little bit uncomfortable.

However, just when Huang Xu had not figured out what scale they should use to get along with each other, James on the opposite side had already seen Huang Xu's dilemma, so he nodded at the conflicted Huang Xu.

"I understand Boss. I will be careful about the scale."

"Ah, well, as long as you understand."

Although Huang Xu didn't quite understand what James understood at this moment, looking at the situation, he didn't want to care too much.

Anyway, since James has already made up his mind about this matter, let it be, and then he will no longer pay attention to this matter.

Anyway, her affairs have little to do with me.

Huang Xu then said a few words to the two of them and then parted ways with them.

However, after he left, he did not return to the apartment.

After all, I am still in Sunny’s “punishment period”.

Neither Sunny nor Goo Hara returned to the apartment, so Huang Xu naturally didn't want to go back to the apartment so early and play games alone in the apartment.

So Huang Xu drove directly to the shopping street near Hongdae.

Hongdae Shopping Street in Seoul can be said to be one of the most lively places in Seoul.

In the beginning, this place actually only served nearby college students. Then, due to its popularity, many businesses gradually gathered here, making it more and more popular, and finally it became the first choice for young men and women in Seoul to go shopping.

Today, Hongdae Shopping Street not only gathers food from all over Korea, but also a wide variety of trendy foods.

There are basically all kinds of shops here, such as internet-famous coffee shops, specialty barbecues, specialty snacks, Western restaurants, and fried chicken shops.

Like Huang Xu's spicy hot pot chain, there are three or four stores gathered here. In addition to catering, there are also trendy brands and niche brand stores that Korean young people like, and there are naturally many designer stores.

Because the styles here are rarely repeated, and the latest clothing and accessories are the first to appear here, many fashionable people come here to shop.

Of course, the gathering of so many young people has made the environment here very trendy. All kinds of small shops with peculiar decorations and all kinds of witty graffiti also show the youthful vitality of young people in Seoul.

At the same time, the popularity of this place has also attracted many street performers, student groups, and underground idols to perform here.

Even many lesser-known idols will come here to perform in order to attract popularity and increase their fame.

Therefore, on the streets of Hongdae, various street performances, street dances, singing and dancing are performed one after another, and even passers-by can join in and freestyle if they are in the mood.

In addition, the shops here are basically open all night, and many of them close after dawn at five or six in the morning. Therefore, the liveliness of the nightlife here is second to none in Seoul.

Huang Xu came here because he was attracted by the hustle and bustle here and wanted to experience it.

In fact, in his previous life, when he was working in his uncle's restaurant, this was his favorite place to come.

Because there are not only a variety of special snacks and delicacies here, but also countless handsome men and beautiful women performing here.

Not only do various student groups and street performers perform here, sometimes you can also see some boy and girl groups doing roadshows here to expand their fame.

And it was because of this that Huang Xu liked this place so much at that time.

Eating delicious food while watching various beauties performing songs and dances there was not only a wonderful thing, but also a rare pastime in his previous life.

It’s a pity that after his rebirth, although he became rich, he didn’t have time to come here.

Today, taking advantage of the fact that they are not here, I came here to relive the feeling of my past life.

After parking the car in a nearby parking lot, Huang Xu carried a small bag and strolled in the shopping street of Hongdae.

Looking at the various shops around him, Huang Xu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In his previous life, when he came here to shop, he rarely went into stores to buy things.

There's no way. Although the prices of things here are not high, that is compared to the high income of Koreans.

However, he was just a handyman in a restaurant, so his income was naturally not comparable to these people. Therefore, when he came here, he basically just bought some food at the roadside food stalls and seldom went into a store to shop.

This made Huang Xu suddenly want to shop after seeing these stores again.

After all, although he cannot be said to be as rich as a country, he is not short of money.

Therefore, when Huang Xu sees a store that interests him, he will go in and have a look, and if he finds something that catches his eye, he will buy it.

So in this situation, he had only walked a short distance when his hands were already occupied by various bags of different sizes.

Of course, some of the things he bought were little gadgets that interested him, but quite a few were things he bought for Sunny and Goo Hara.

Such as some unique and design-oriented small accessories, or clothes that are more in line with Huang Xu's aesthetic taste.

Yes, it is clothes that conform to Huang Xu’s aesthetic taste.

Although Huang Xu doesn't know much about fashion, he has experienced the era of the self-media explosion in his previous life.

Even if he doesn't know much about fashion, he has seen too much of it, so naturally he has formed his own aesthetic when it comes to clothes.

And his aesthetic taste for clothing was a few years ahead of the times.

There is no way, this is the advantage brought by time.

Therefore, when Huang Xu saw these clothes, these niche brands, or designer brands, and saw clothes that suited his aesthetic taste, he couldn't help but buy a few pieces.

Anyway, their figures are all standard, some are even on the thin side, so they can be said to be clothes racks.

He doesn't have to worry about them not being able to wear the things they buy, so Huang Xu can buy them with confidence.

And even if they can’t wear it, don’t they still have their teammates?
In short, Huang Xu didn't have to worry about no one wearing them, so he naturally bought them in large quantities.

So Huang Xu spent three or four hours in the shopping street, strolling, shopping, and tasting various snacks.

By the time he put the shopping items in the car for the third time, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and the grand shopping street had ushered in its busiest time of the day.

Huang Xu also gave up shopping at this time and began to concentrate on strolling, admiring the night view of Hongdae and experiencing the nightlife here.

At the same time, he also took out the camera he had just bought and started recording the nightlife here and practicing at the same time.

Huang Xu actually had the idea of ​​buying a camera a long time ago.

The idea first came to me when I went hiking with Goo Hara and Choi Jinri last year.

When they were at the top of the mountain, Huang Xu looked at the two people smiling happily against the backdrop of the setting sun and wanted to take out his mobile phone to record it.

But after he took out his cell phone and took the picture, he felt a little disappointed.

Even though the cell phone he was holding had the best camera on the market, it was still limited by the times.

The photos taken are totally incomparable to those taken with later mobile phones.

Therefore, Huang Xu had the idea of ​​buying a camera at that time.

Later, when he took Sunny and Goo Hara on a trip, his love for them became even stronger.

But due to various factors, he always forgets about it.

So just now, when I saw a store selling cameras, I was persuaded by the clerk and bought a Canon SLR camera and several lenses.

There's no way. Although he doesn't know much about camera equipment, he has money.

Since the clerk said that this camera is suitable for taking portraits and is relatively easy to operate, Huang Xu naturally would not miss it. He not only bought the camera, but also purchased a full set of accessories directly in the store.

Anyway, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Huang Xu now.

He strolled through the shopping streets of Hongdae, looking for things that interested him and taking pictures.

However, when he was taking pictures, he did not shoot a specific person, but instead took wide panoramas or some close-up scenes.

There is no way. This era is not the era of self-media dominance in the future.

Nowadays, people are still quite taboo about having photos of themselves taken suddenly.

What's more, feminism is prevalent in South Korea now, and he doesn't want to mess with these women.

After all, the fighting ability of these Korean women is not comparable to those little fairies in the country in later generations.

Therefore, even if Huang Xu was bold, he didn't dare to provoke these people now.

But even so, his photography skills are improving rapidly as he gradually becomes familiar with the operation of the camera.

Just as Huang Xu was immersed in the advancement of camera technology, he heard a familiar song coming from not far away.

"Goodbye Goodbye ooh ooh
Goodbye Goodbye ooh ooh

"

When he heard the song, a memory from a few days ago suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Is it them?"
