Chapter 196 Expansion
"Oppa, you are awesome!"

"Okay, that's enough. I know my level."

Huang Xu looked at Choi Jinri who kept praising him in front of him, and a rare blush appeared on his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

There was no way, because the photos he just took were really not worthy of such praise from Choi Jin-ri.

Just now, while the three girls were resting, he took out the camera he bought a few days ago and said he wanted to take a picture of them.

But what surprised Huang Xu was that he thought that after he took out the camera, several people would question his photography skills.

But the reality is, except for Sunny who had some doubts about her own photography skills, Goo Hara and Choi Jinri did not hesitate at all. They just asked Huang Xu to wait for them and after putting on some makeup, they started letting Huang Xu take pictures.

After taking the photos, he looked at the photos in the camera and praised Huang Xu crazily.

Choi Jin-ri, in particular, was full of praise for the photos taken by Huang Xu.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Xu appears so embarrassed.

After all, he still has a clear understanding of his photography skills.

He had only bought the camera a few days ago and this was only his second time using it. How could he possibly have good photography skills?

Not to mention that the selection of parameters such as aperture and exposure time requires a lot of experience. It is already very good that he can use the camera and take clear pictures of people.

Although today’s cameras are digital cameras, they are not smart enough. Many things need to be adjusted manually. They are not as smart as in the past.

But even in the past, those professional cameras still required manual adjustment of parameters.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, the photos Huang Xu just took are just barely acceptable.

When Cui Zhenli heard what Huang Xu said, her expression did not change at all, and she continued to speak to Huang Xu sincerely:

"But it's really beautiful, Oppa. I really like photos like this."

"Wow, your acting skills are really amazing."

Huang Xu looked at Choi Jin-ri's sincere expression and couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration on his face.

He didn't expect that Choi Jin-ri would show such an expression after he finished speaking, and act so sincere without any sense of reluctance.

This made Huang Xu sigh that her acting skills are really good.

But considering that she debuted as a child star, it’s not that strange.

However, Choi Jin-ri was not satisfied with Huang Xu's praise, but directly grabbed Huang Xu's arm.

"Oppa, I didn't act."

"I really like the photos Oppa took."

"Okay, okay, since you didn't act, if you like it, then I'll take two more photos for you?"

Huang Xu looked at Choi Jinri's shy yet serious expression and was a little confused for a moment.

Is her acting so good now?

Judging from her acting skills in her previous life, it shouldn't have reached this level.

However, although Huang Xu was confused, he could only follow Cui Zhenli's words and continue speaking.

When Choi Jin-ri heard this, her eyes lit up.

He glanced at Sunny and Goo Hara who were resting nearby and found that they were not paying attention to their conversation, so he asked carefully.

"Will this be too much trouble, Oppa?"

"It's okay. Since you don't mind being tired, Oppa will take a few more photos for you."

"Thank you Oppa."

When Choi Jin-ri heard Huang Xu say that she could take a few more photos, she immediately became happy and felt that all the fatigue from climbing the mountain had disappeared.

Pulling Huang Xu, we started looking for a suitable background and angle for shooting on the platform at the top of the mountain.

Their tireless appearance dumbfounded Sunny and Goo Hara, who were already exhausted.

"Hala, is Mari's physical strength that good?"

"No, she wasn't like this before?"

"That"

Sunny watched Choi Jin-ri posing in various ways for photos under Huang Xu's command, and the confusion in her eyes became even deeper.

At the same time, she also remembered a few things she had discovered some time ago.

Thinking back to that time, I found that her attitude towards Huang Xu was obviously inconsistent with her previous personality.

Coupled with today's abnormal behavior, she couldn't help but have some guesses in her heart, so she turned her head to look at Goo Hara.

At this time, Goo Hara, when looking at Choi Jinri, also found something wrong and turned her gaze to Sunny.

"Hola."

"Ernie."

After their eyes met, although no words were spoken, a sense of enlightenment arose in their hearts at the same time.

It seems that there is really a problem.

So Goo Hara immediately asked Sunny.

"Unnie, what should we do?"

"What to do? Just wait!"

"what"

When Goo Hara heard Sunny's words, she could no longer hide the shock on her face, and it was obvious that she couldn't understand what Sunny did.

Sunny glanced at Goo Hara and asked her:
"What else can you do if you don't wait? What are you going to say when you go up there?"

"without me."

After hearing this, Goo Hara's face showed a rare look of panic.

As Choi Jin-ri's good friends for many years, the two of them have many similarities.

For example, family background, previous experiences, etc.

Similarly, there are many similar characteristics in their personalities.

This also made her realize that no matter what she said now, it would not solve any problems.

Just like myself at that time.

Besides, this is not just my problem now. Isn’t there Sunny, my older sister, standing in front?
Thinking of this, her panicked expression suddenly stabilized, and then she looked at Sunny.

"Ouni is right, just wait."

"you"

Sunny looked at Goo Hara, who was a little flustered just now but returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and seemed very curious.

She now also wanted to know what she was thinking and why she returned to normal so quickly.

But when the words she wanted to ask came to her lips, she took them back.

Because Huang Xu and the other person who were taking pictures just now had returned to them.

In particular, Choi Jin-ri was holding Huang Xu's ear camera and showing off the photos she had just taken in front of Sunny and Goo Hara.

Looking at Choi Jin-ri, who was sweating profusely and happily sharing photos with her, especially her happy smile in the camera, Sunny felt a little helpless at this time.

Looking up, they saw Huang Xu, who was standing not far from them, with a complicated expression on his face.

What I wanted to say just now, I can’t say now.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after resting for more than an hour and taking a lot of photos on the platform on the top of the mountain, the group walked down the mountain.

But at this time, Choi Jin-ri, who was very excited at the top of the mountain just now, felt a little weak in the legs when going down the mountain.

Compared to Sunny and Goo Hara who had been resting since they went up, Choi Jinri felt her legs going weak after walking down for a short while and almost fell down on the mountain road.

Seeing this situation, Huang Xu, who had the heaviest burden today but the best physical strength, had to hold her hand to prevent her from missing a step and rolling down the stairs.

Therefore, when the few people walked down the mountain, it was already six or seven o'clock, and the sun was about to set.

After getting on the bus, except Huang Xu, Sunny and Goo Hara, the other two felt as if their whole bodies were falling apart and they collapsed directly on the seats.

Seeing this situation, Huang Xu shook his head helplessly.

He didn't expect that Sunny and Goo Hara had been training for such a long time, but their physical strength was still so poor. It seems that they need to strengthen their training in the future.

But to be honest, Huang Xu also has to take some responsibility for the fact that they are so tired.

If they hadn't been tormented by Huang Xu for too long last night and hadn't gotten a good rest, their physical strength wouldn't have been a problem. After all, they were the ones who could persist in singing and dancing for an entire concert, so their physical strength was still okay.

At least relatively speaking, it is a little better than the average person.

Huang Xu saw that they were so tired, so he asked the three of them:

"Are you guys still going to camp? Or should we just go back to the apartment and get some rest?"

"Let's go back to the apartment. We can have a couple of drinks and take a bath in the evening. If we want to camp, we can wait until next time."

Sunny looked at Goo Hara and Choi Jinri and found that they were also tired, so she asked Huang Xu to drive back to the apartment.

As for going camping, they can go later.

For her today, the most important thing is to go back, take a hot bath, drink a couple of cups, and have a good sleep.

As for Goo Hara and Choi Jin-ri, although they wanted to go camping, they didn't mind going back as long as they were with Huang Xu.

And I am really tired today.

Seeing that the three people had reached a consensus, Huang Xu no longer hesitated and drove directly towards the apartment.

Along the way, several people were talking and laughing, discussing today's mountain climbing and the photos taken by Huang Xu.

Of course, what to eat and drink at night is also indispensable.

In the lively atmosphere, several people returned to the apartment unknowingly.

Then the four of them worked together to prepare dinner and ended all the activities for the day in laughter.

However, Huang Xu could only enjoy this for one day.

Starting from the next day, Huang Xu's house was not so lively anymore.

Huang Xu also sent the three of them out one after another.

The first person to leave the apartment was Choi Jin-ri.

There's no way. It's already early April, and Choi Jin-ri and her friends are leaving for New Zealand in two days to shoot a team variety show.

The time she spent climbing the mountain yesterday was actually squeezed out by herself.

Otherwise, she should be in the company, practicing the songs and dances for her next new album.

The price she paid for going out to play for a day yesterday was that she would need to work harder in the days that followed to make up for yesterday's absence.

As for Goo Hara and Sunny, they also left the apartment after Choi Jinri left.

As popular girl group idols, they have endless schedules waiting for them as long as they want to be busy.

It can be said that it was excessive to be able to rest for such a long time.

There is no way the agency would let their cash cow rest at home forever, so they kept urging them to come out and schedule as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Sunny's activities are mostly still in Korea, so she can come back to stay at night from time to time.

Goo Hara's situation was more miserable. She went to Japan with her company and team.

The girl group KARA is not very popular in South Korea, but in Japan, it is definitely a standard first-tier girl group.

So their activities are now concentrated in Japan.

From that day on, Huang Xu became a loner during the day.

Fortunately, Sunny would come back from time to time at night to keep him company, so Huang Xu didn't feel as lonely as he had felt in the previous few days.

However, he was not idle during the day, but was busy with his own things.

First of all, it’s about the agency.

The company's location has now been negotiated and the contract has been signed within the past two days. We have now started looking for a decoration company to start designing drawings and preparing for the decoration.

In fact, his company knows some decoration companies, and even his company has people who understand decoration design.

As a chain franchise restaurant company, his company now has more than a hundred franchise stores. How could he not know anyone from the decoration company?
And don't forget that his company now owns so many apartments that also need to be renovated by decoration companies.

However, in order to prevent himself from having anything to do with this company, he asked Kim Tae-woo to go out and find a decoration company on his own instead of the company he had worked with before.

In fact, he also understood that he could not hide the fact that he was the boss of this agency for a long time.

But at least one thing is certain: he will keep it secret for as long as he can until everything is settled.

Because it now involves investing in Jinguan Active CCM Company and the whitewashing plan of Tara and others.

It would be best if he did not show up until these things were done.

Therefore, Kim Kwang-soo had to go out and look for a suitable decoration company.

The second thing is to invest in or acquire Kim Kwang-soo’s CCM company.

It has been three or four days now, and Kim Kwang-soo has not made any move so far. It is time for James to bring his former "colleagues" to put pressure on him.

During these few days, although Huang Xu was not sure whether Kim Kwang-soo had their background, it was time for James to show off his muscles and speed up the progress.

What's more, his background is fake after all and cannot withstand particularly in-depth investigation.

The best thing would be to get this matter settled before they have figured out a little bit of the truth but haven't investigated it thoroughly.

In addition to this matter, there is another matter that Huang Xu also needs to make a decision about.

Those are some of the subsequent development issues for his software company.

In the past few days, the number of new registered users of Mayu Software has basically stagnated.

Compared with the past, the number of new registrations per day is basically only around three digits, which can be said to be better than nothing.

Huang Xu also understood that he could not blame anyone for this, mainly because the number of his users had reached a limit for the number of users in South Korea.

This requires Huang Xu to make a decision as to where the company should go next.

The first option is to directly start adding some functions to the software, and then slowly turn the software into a software that integrates usage functions, social networking, and even shopping.

If this is done, then the software can slowly develop social functions based on the current users.

Like some kind of women's circle.

Or some modules like knowledge classroom.

Then you can start adding some e-commerce products.

For example, the sale of some women's sanitary products.

It may not even be limited to women's sanitary products, but may also include sales of cosmetics, clothing, or daily necessities.

Directly turn the Mayu software into an e-commerce software for women.

If this level can really be achieved, then this company will be quite valuable. It can even be said that with the help of this software company, Huang Xu will be able to live a worry-free life for the rest of his life.

It would even be no problem for her to live a very luxurious life with Sunny and Goo Hara.

But there is still a problem now, that is, his own strength is not strong enough now. If he does these things, it is very likely that he will be making wedding dresses for others.

Don’t look at other reborn people, they can kill big in business wars.

But when it really comes to reality, they are not sure what will happen. Even if they have the memory of rebirth, they can't stop the overwhelming momentum of others.

Secondly, the current mobile Internet and related supporting facilities are not mature enough.

If he wants to do all these, he needs to spend a lot of experience, time, and even money to lay the groundwork in the early stages before he can do these things.

However, his current strength and influence cannot support him in carrying out these activities.

So he directly passed this item.

At least he was not prepared to come up with this plan until external conditions were ripe.

As for the second option, it is to expand overseas.

Since the number of users in South Korea has reached a limit, is it possible to develop overseas next?

South Korea's population size is right now. Even before his rebirth in the future, its population not only did not continue to expand, but instead showed a downward trend.

Even if the number of smartphone users increases by that time, the number of registered users of his software will only be in the tens of millions.

Even 20 million is difficult to achieve.

But it’s different abroad.

Not to mention China's huge market worth more than one billion, even Japan's market is much larger than South Korea. Therefore, Huang Xu is now thinking about whether he can promote the software to both China and Japan.

But when he thought of this, Huang Xu also remembered another thing.

"What has happened to Meiyou in the previous life now?"
