Chapter 222

"Sunny, what do you two friends want to do?"

After Huang Xu finished his dinner with Park So-yeon, he went straight back to the apartment, and then, through the video on his mobile phone, he couldn't wait to ask Sunny what she thought about what happened tonight.

After all, I was not familiar with these two people. Although I knew them, I guessed for a long time on the way back and still couldn't figure out what they were trying to do.

Why did the two of them put on such a show for themselves today?

Sunny on the other side of the phone was also frowning, not quite understanding what these two friends were trying to do.

She said that she was close friends with these two people, but in fact, they were just relatively good friends in the entertainment industry.

If it was two years ago, when they participated in variety shows together, Sunny would have known them a little better.

But in the past two years, especially after what happened last year, she hasn't met the other party much. After thinking for a while, she could only shake her head at the video.

“I don’t understand what they want to do.”

"Ok."

Seeing that Sunny was also confused, Huang Xu became even more confused. However, he put the matter behind him and said to Sunny.

"Since you can't figure it out, then forget about it and wait for them to make a move. Since they've done this, there will definitely be follow-up."

"Yeah too!"

Sunny nodded in agreement with Huang Xu's words, and then put the matter aside.

After all, they have been bought by Huang Xu and have taken the initiative. So no matter what happens next, they will definitely not be able to avoid Huang Xu.

Then she went on to invite Huang Xu.

"Do you have anything to do these two days? Do you want to come to our concert?"

"concert?"

When Huang Xu heard Sunny's suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Whether in his previous life or now, he had never been to a concert or watched their live performances.

At the beginning it was because he had no money. Later when he became rich he was also busy. Then until he returned to China in 17, he had never gone to see Girls' Generation's concert.

Later, as I got older and was busier with work, I naturally lost interest in concerts.

Therefore, Sunny's suggestion suddenly made him want to go to their concert.

But although he was moved, after hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly rejected Sunny's proposal.

"Forget it, I won't go this time. I'll wait until your next concert."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Seeing the change in Huang Xu's expression, Sunny immediately asked with concern:
"It's okay, it's just that this section is quite busy."

"Busy? Isn't your uncle responsible for the company's affairs? What are you busy with?"

Sunny didn't believe Huang Xu's excuse at first.

During the six months that she has been with Huang Xu, she has a deep understanding of Huang Xu's living conditions.

Although Huang Xu owns many companies, he should have a lot of things to do.

But the reality is that Huang Xu is a hands-off boss. Apart from giving advice, he doesn't care about other things at all.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, but because of his uncle’s presence, he can let go with confidence and enjoy life.

Therefore, he looked at Huang Xu with a surprised look, obviously not believing that Huang Xu would be busy.

Huang Xu also saw Sunny's eyes, and immediately jumped up as if something had been exposed.

"I'm also very busy. There is a lot of work to be done next, and I need to do it myself."

"Now, there are things like Tara's new album, the software company's promotion in China, and the pickled fish chain store. These are all waiting for me to get started."

"Well, it seems that you will be very busy during this period."

Sunny listened to Huang Xu's explanation and didn't expect that Huang Xu would have so much work to deal with next.

But she was just listening. According to her understanding of Huang Xu, Huang Xu would only be busy for a few days at most. Once things got back on track, he would still pass the task on to other people as before.

Otherwise, why would he ask his father to find him Kim Tae-woo, a veteran in the entertainment industry.

Similarly, why did I take Chen Fangyi so seriously and make so many arrangements the last time he came to Seoul?

Isn’t all this done for Huang Xu’s sake?
Although she knew Huang Xu's character and guessed what he would do next, she did not expose him. Instead, she looked at Huang Xu curiously.

"Why are you suddenly making such a big fuss about it this time? Haven't you always let things take their own course in the past?"

"That was in the past. Now I suddenly realize that I am so poor. I must start to struggle and work hard to make money."

"poverty?"

When sunny heard Huang Xu's words, her eyes widened and she looked a little surprised.

She never thought that the reason Huang Xu was so hardworking was because he was poor.

In her impression, Huang Xu has always been the kind of person who is not short of money and spends money lavishly on weekdays.

How could you be poor?
You know, a month ago, he transferred hundreds of millions of won to himself and Goo Hara respectively, and also bought such expensive jadeite for them. He doesn't look like he is short of money at all.

Although she didn't know why Huang Xu said that, Sunny still said to Huang Xu:

"If you are short of money, I still have some money here, otherwise I can transfer it to you."

"You should keep the money for yourself. I'm short of money right now."

"The gap is a bit big, so I'll sell my American stocks and give them to you first."

Sunny looked at Huang Xu with concern, and then said:
"If it's not enough, I can borrow some from my teammates."

"No, you should keep your stocks to continue to appreciate. Judging from the trend, it still has a lot of room for growth. Selling it now will be a bit of a loss."

Seeing Sunny's concern for him, Huang Xu was a little touched.

When Sunny heard that she had no money, her first reaction was to transfer her money over, and she was also preparing to sell her American stocks.

You should know that the stock Huang Xu bought for her in the United States was Tesla, which had been rising for more than a month.

The stock price has now risen from $33 when I bought it to over $40, and is still growing rapidly with no sign of stopping.

If you sell these stocks now, you will definitely suffer some losses.

Not to mention, she also said that if it wasn't enough, she could borrow some from teammates.

It can be said that he was sincere to Huang Xu.

Although Huang Xu was very touched by her behavior, he still decisively rejected her proposal.

"No need, Sunny. I'm short of money now because the company needs to invest in future development, and the shortfall is not just a little bit."

"And if the plan goes well, I should be able to receive a large sum of cash in the next two months."

"A large sum of cash?"

Sunny looked at Huang Xu's confident look, and then thought of what happened in Northeast China a few days ago, and said to Huang Xu with sudden enlightenment:

"Sour fish franchise store?"

"Yes, it's the pickled fish. We're already preparing to serve it. If everything goes well, I won't be short of money soon."

"That's true."

Sunny also had a rough idea of ​​Huang Xu's last profit from the Malatang shop, so after hearing this, she was no longer worried about Huang Xu.

But in the end, he still said something to Huang Xu with some concern.

"If you are short of money, be sure to tell me. I have some savings, and if it's not enough, I can help you borrow it."

"Okay, Sunny, don't worry!"

Looking at Sunny's determined look on the phone screen, Huang Xu did not postpone it this time. Instead, he agreed directly and made a heart shape with his hand towards the camera.

"If I really need it, I will definitely find you. Love you, sunny."

"I love you too! Mu~~"

Sunny saw the heart shape made by Huang Xu, and then she gave Huang Xu a kiss in return. After chatting for a while, she hung up the phone.

Just after she hung up the phone, she heard a cold voice coming from the side.

"Is this the end of your intimate relationship with your guy?"

"Well, are you envious?"

Faced with the teasing from the people around her, Sunny didn't feel embarrassed at all, but instead directly turned on the mocking mode.

And the owner of that voice had no intention of admitting defeat.

"What am I envious of? It's not like I can't find a partner, I just haven't agreed to the other person yet."

"Yes, yes, but how long has it been since you last contacted him?"

"I"

Hearing this, the owner of the voice finally couldn't help it and got up from the bed, but still had no intention of giving in. "That's true."

"Okay, okay, you have it."

Sunny looked at the man who was still stubborn and refused to admit defeat, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. Then she sat down next to her and looked at him curiously.

"Xica, what are you thinking now?"

"What do you think?"

"That's Mr. Quan?"

"I"

Although Jessica Jung really wanted to give Sunny a firm reply, she couldn’t say it now.

In fact, she has known Mr. Quan for several months, and their relationship is now more than friends but less than lovers.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that she is doing this because Mr. Quan still has a legal girlfriend.

However, the purpose of seeking him out was not that simple.

I just want to use her connections to enter the Hong Kong circle and see if I can enter the Chinese market through the Hong Kong circle.

At the same time, I also used his connections to realize my dream of becoming a designer.

Some time ago, it was through his connections that she was able to go to Europe and visit the birthplaces of those fashion products.

As for her relationship with the other party, Jessica Jung could only say that he was pursuing her and she had not yet agreed to him.

As to whether she will agree to the other party or not, Jessica Jung said that the decision needs to be made based on the subsequent situation.

But these were her previous thoughts and plans.

After going to China with Sunny and being scolded by Huang Xu, she was enlightened by Huang Xu and gave up her original plan.

Or rather, it didn't wake her up, but just made her see the truth about the Hong Kong circle.

This also made her fall into entanglement and confusion. Thinking of this, looking at Sunny who was standing next to her with a curious look on her face, she suddenly felt angry and slapped Sunny.

"It's not all your fault!"

"???"

Sunny looked at Jessica Jung in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly hit her.

After all, I didn't do anything?
Jessica Jung looked at the confused Sunny and said it again with certainty.

"It's all your fault."

The next morning, Huang Xu got up early, exercised in the apartment for a while, had a simple breakfast, and then walked to a cafe near the apartment.

After finding a relatively secluded corner to sit down, Huang Xu waited quietly for something.

Not long after, Huang Xu saw Kim Tae-woo jogging into the coffee shop, and then, under the guidance of the waiter, he saw himself.

As soon as he walked to the table, he bowed deeply to Huang Xu.

"Sorry Boss, I'm late."

"No, you're not late. I was too anxious to notify you."

Huang Xu looked at the breathless Jin Taiyu without any intention of blaming him. Instead, he comforted him and asked him to sit down.

Then he ordered a cup of coffee for him, and waited for him to regain his breath before looking at him and asking:
“How is the decoration of the company’s office now?”

"The progress of the renovation is still relatively fast. The water and electricity have been almost changed. The next step is the hard decoration. It is expected that we can move in by mid-May."

"That was pretty fast. Thank you for your hard work."

Huang Xu didn't expect that Kim Tae-woo would reply so quickly.

You have to know that the office building that their agency plans to rent is not very decorated inside. Although it is better than a bare house, it still requires a lot of effort to renovate it.

It is quite rare that Kim Tae-woo was able to complete the basic water and electricity renovation in about half a month and move in in May.

So after giving the compliment, Huang Xu continued to ask questions.

"Where's Kim Kwang Soo? What has he been doing these days?"

"President Kim Kwang-soo is rushing to contact composers to collect songs for Tara's new album."

"Well, let him hurry up, but time is tight, so don't let him relax on the quality of the song. This is going to be a tough battle."

Hearing that Kim Kwang-soo was contacting composers to include songs for Tara and others, Huang Xu nodded with satisfaction.

What he fears most now is actually Kim Kwang-soo’s company. After being acquired by him, he began to give up on himself and was unwilling to contribute.

You should know that the reason I acquired his company, besides because of their perfect team, was Kim Kwang-soo himself.

Although Huang Xu has been criticizing Kim Kwang-soo's ability to deal with various emergencies and often performs various outrageous operations.

However, he still agrees with Kim Kwang-soo's aesthetic taste in selecting songs.

Take the songs of Tara in their previous lives, for example. There were quite a few classic songs, and they were very much in line with Tara’s style.

A big part of the reason why they became popular in China is because their songs are good enough.

Therefore, after hearing that he was working hard to collect songs, Huang Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:
"How is his mood during this period?"

"President Jin has been quite excited and motivated during this period."

"Oh, what do you say?"

When Huang Xu heard Kim Kwang Soo's reaction, he immediately became interested and looked at Kim Tae Woo, waiting for his explanation.

Kim Tae-woo also saw Huang Xu's confusion and began to explain.

It turns out that since starting Tara's whitewashing plan, Kim Kwang-soo has been quite excited, even a little excited.

Tara is the girl group he carefully created. It can be said that he has put a lot of effort into it and can even regard them as his own children.

Their performance was getting better and better, and they were about to reach the top, but then the troll incident happened, and they plummeted to the bottom.

It can be said that he was the saddest person last year.

Whether it is due to emotional or economic considerations, Kim Kwang-soo wants these people to be able to clear their grievances and be reborn in blood.

But the reality is that even though I know where the problem lies and have evidence, there is nothing I can do to help them.

Now that he has seen Huang Xu's whitewashing operation and has seen certain results, he has become excited and wants Tara and the others to return to Korea and get back everything that belongs to them.

But all of this was organized by Kim Tae-woo, who later told Kim Kwang-soo about Huang Xu's plan for Tara to temporarily develop overseas and then fly directly to Seoul with the overseas momentum.

It was this plan that gave him new hope.

Of course, more importantly, Kim Tae-woo made some promises to Kim Kwang-soo that if Tara's performance can reach a certain level, he can get a certain amount of dividends.

That's why he works so hard.

While Kim Tae-woo was reporting the situation to Huang Xu, some people in Seoul also noticed some of Kim Kwang-soo's actions in recent days.

The person who paid the most attention to him was Lee Soo-man, whom Huang Xu had just met two days ago.

At this time, Lee Soo-man was sitting in the office, listening to his employees' reports.

"You mean Kim Kwang Soo is contacting composers to help Tara find songs?"

"Yes, someone saw him yesterday, he went to the second stage of the horizontal kick, so he hurried to report to you."

"A double side kick?"

Lee Soo Man's brows furrowed after hearing the news.

It's no wonder that he reacted like this, but because Tara and the others really can't be underestimated.

As one of the most popular girl groups last year, their music performance and popularity are the only ones that can come close to Girls' Generation among so many girl groups in Korea.

When they were exposed for bullying last year, Lee Soo Man and SM Entertainment also took some actions in accordance with public opinion.

I originally thought that they had all been suppressed and would have no chance of appearing again, but I didn't expect that after being silent for more than half a year, they would dare to release evidence and start to whitewash themselves.

This made Lee Soo-man feel quite surprised.

After all, these bosses are well aware of what happened last year and know how deep the water is.

Logically speaking, given Kim Kwang-soo's status, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

So he started investigating and eventually discovered what happened between Park Hyomin and the American.

He also discovered that Kim Kwang-soo, his rival for half his life, had sold his company and started working for others.

It was because of these discoveries that he did not continue to take action to whitewash Tara.

But at this time, he had already begun to draw people's attention to Tara's subsequent actions.

Now when he saw Kim Kwang-soo starting to look for a composer, his eyes couldn't help but become sharp.

"Why don't you accept your fate, develop in Japan, and then come back?"

"The entertainment industry today is not what it was last year!"
