Chapter 230 It turns out to be this game! (Seeking monthly votes)
"Why don't you two pay for your meals? You eat here every day. I'm almost your personal chef now."
"Okay, how much is the monthly food allowance? I'll pay it now."
After hearing Huang Xu's complaints, Jessica Jung directly said that it didn't matter, and even said another sentence after she finished saying that she would hand it over now.
"I'll pay for one year first, and I can use the card now."
"Yes, yes, I will pay for one year as well."
Hearing what Jessica Jung said, Kim Taeyeon put down her chopsticks and looked at Huang Xu excitedly.
After spending a few days together, Kim Taeyeon has been completely conquered by Huang Xu's cooking skills, and even feels that she can't live without Huang Xu.
In order to lose weight some time ago, she basically didn't have enough to eat. Not only did she feel weak and out of shape, she also felt that there was something wrong with her emotions.
And even if you persist in this way for such a long time, the weight loss effect is only minimal. The few pounds you lose will come back if you eat a little more.
But during these days of exercising with Huang Xu, although I didn't dare to eat too much, at least there was food in my stomach, and I could enjoy different delicacies every day.
Compared to her life half a month ago, she feels that her life now is heaven.
Although the daily training is indeed very tiring, at least her mood is good, and most importantly, she can see certain results after only ten days.
Although she hasn't lost much weight, she feels that her body has become firmer. I believe that if she persists for a while, her figure will reach her expected goal.
Therefore, when she heard Huang Xu say that he wanted them to pay for the food, Kim Taeyeon wanted Huang Xu to just tell her an amount and she would transfer the money.
After all, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for a wealthy woman like her.
Huang Xu was stunned to see how straightforward the two were, but then he realized that both Kim Taeyeon and Jessica Jung were small wealthy ladies.
Even though they have only been in the industry for a few years and their Korean agency is relatively stingy, they are still very popular. Even if they have been exploited by the company, with the money shared among the nine of them, they are all wealthy women.
Unless I offer a sky-high price for food expenses, this amount of money is nothing for the two of them.
After thinking this through, Huang Xu said to the two of them listlessly:
"Forget it, let's use those computers you gave me a few days ago as your food expenses."
"Hey, that's great. I'll send a few more over so I can eat here every day."
"What are you thinking? You were thinking of sending a few more, but when they are delivered, where will you put them?"
Huang Xu looked at Kim Taeyeon who was excited alone and poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Besides, I won't always have time to cook for you."
"Yeah, you still have your own company."
It was only at this time that Kim Taeyeon realized that Huang Xu also had his own job.
Jessica Jung and Sunny felt a little embarrassed when they saw Taeyeon's silly look. They obviously didn't want to admit that this silly girl was their captain.
Especially Jessica Jung, who felt even more ashamed at this moment.
"How could I lose to this idiot?"
Because Huang Xu cooked for her and assisted her in exercising these days, she actually regarded Huang Xu as her chef or nanny.
You have to know that although she often disturbed Huang Xu these days, it does not mean that she does not respect Huang Xu. It is because she values Huang Xu and his opinions that she keeps pestering him.
Although Huang Xu seems to have nothing to do and has plenty of free time every day, his real identity is the founder and owner of a large restaurant chain.
And most importantly, his wealth and status are much higher than both of ours. We can't forget his identity just because he is Sunny's boyfriend and treats us nicely.
So she glanced at Kim Taeyeon, and quickly changed the subject, and said to Huang Xu curiously:
"By the way, you've been basically with us these past few days. Doesn't that interfere with your company's business?"
"Oh yeah, what's the status of your new franchise project now?"
After Jessica Jung's reminder, Sunny finally realized that Huang Xu had been with them almost all the time these days and had not gone to the company.
So what is the current progress of the franchise project he mentioned some time ago?
Also, some time ago, he said he was poor and short of money. How is the situation now?
Looking at Jessica Jung and Sunny who suddenly showed concern for him, Huang Xu couldn't help but reveal a worried expression on his face.
During this period, he seemed not to go to the company and was hanging out with the three of them all day long, but he did not relax at all about the company's affairs, and was even more concerned about the company's current progress than before.
After all, his current financial situation is really like what he said to Sunny some time ago, he is really short of money.
Of course, what he lacked was the big money from the project.
After all, he now has several projects, all of which have large funding gaps.
The first is his software company. Although it doesn’t need much money now, it will require a large amount of capital investment in the next few months.
Now the optimization of the software for the Chinese market is almost completed, which means that he and Chen Fangyi need to start promoting this software.
This requires a large amount of publicity expenses.
You have to know that China's area and population are not comparable to South Korea. If you want to advertise widely, it will require a considerable amount of advertising expenses.
The most important thing is that in China there is no way to take shortcuts like in South Korea and rely on charitable organizations for promotion.
Not to mention that China's various trade union organizations have strict supervision and systems. If you want to sponsor a company for publicity, it will cost a huge price.
Just take the fact that there are so many regions and cities here. If they want to negotiate with them one by one, the time it will take is beyond their ability to accept.
Therefore, after discussing with Chen Fangyi, Huang Xu decided to use advertising for promotion.
This requires a large budget to accomplish this.
The second thing is the matter between the agency and Tara and others.
Now we need to produce a new album for Tara and their promotional activities.
Although it is very easy to produce an album in Korea because of the highly developed entertainment industry, it does not mean that it is cheap to produce a regular album.
The album Huang Xu wanted to produce for them was not the kind that only had a few songs, did not shoot MVs, and only relied on studio videos to fool around.
This time he is going to produce an album for Tara, but it needs to have a complete concept, new makeup, and exquisite MV.
The cost of producing such an album is not small. Not to mention the cost of shooting the MV, just the cost of Tara's song recording and makeup, as well as the expenses of various staff members, is not a small amount.
In addition to these regular expenses, Huang Xu also plans to record a variety show for Tara and others so that they can be promoted in China and let more people know them.
Of course, this model of promoting the return of a girl group by recording a variety show was not initiated by Huang Xu, but there are already many precedents.
For the group Choi Jin-ri is in, SM Entertainment directly cooperated with the TV station for their comeback and went to New Zealand to shoot a group variety show to promote their new album.
Even Tara, who released an album in Japan some time ago, actually had a corresponding variety show promotion, but it didn't achieve particularly ideal results.
Not counting other expenses, even these two major items add up to a hefty sum.
Although Huang Xu has to raise so much funds, he is not nervous now. In fact, compared with half a month ago, Huang Xu feels more relaxed.
Because he worked so hard and spent several months preparing for the sauerkraut fish franchise store, it is now about to open.
The decoration of the first batch of 20 directly-operated stores is now almost completed and is entering the final stage.
Now we just need to wait until everything is ready, then we can choose an auspicious day and prepare to open the business.
After the store opens, Huang Xu is confident that he will be able to make a large sum of money again through this project and will soon no longer be short of money.
Therefore, Huang Xu looked at the three people who cared about him and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the progress is still good. Can we prepare for opening in a few days?"
"Opening?"
Jin Taeyeon was immediately interested when she heard what Huang Xu said, and looked at Huang Xu curiously. "Are you going to open a restaurant again? Do you need promotion? I can help you!"
"Okay, then thank our Taigu!"
After answering the three people's questions, the dinner for the four of them quickly ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
Huang Xu, the chef, was driven aside by the three of them to rest. The mess left after dinner was left to them to clean up. Huang Xu was happy with this. He wiped his mouth, went straight to the room, took out his computer, and started to plan the variety show.
Yes, it’s a variety show project.
He started planning the variety show half a month ago, but it has not been completed yet.
Strictly speaking, he only started the formal compilation after he came back yesterday.
Half a month ago, what he came up at home based on his own imagination and the guidance of Kim Jong Kook and others can only be said to be an idea, just an idea, and cannot be considered a variety show plan.
A complete variety show planning requires a lot of things. Huang Xu has already considered the name, purpose and content of the program. After all, he has experienced the era of the self-media explosion. For these things, he only needs to think about them and there are countless cases waiting for him to learn from.
But the rest is not so simple.
The program structure, staffing and budget are quite troublesome, and even give Huang Xu a headache.
Of course, these things are normally done by professional variety show planners. Huang Xu only needs to come up with ideas, let them execute them, and then wait for the results.
But the reality is a bit special. His agency has just been established. Although Huang Xu also asked Kim Tae-woo to help recruit members for the variety show production team, the results were somewhat unsatisfactory.
Those professionals who are extremely capable and knowledgeable about all aspects of variety show production are basically the backbone of major TV stations, and rarely do they resign.
And even if they resign, they are unlikely to go to their small agency, but instead go to various large production companies or even small private TV stations.
This also resulted in the fact that although the company recruited several former members of the TV station's variety show group, they were all small-time miscellaneous people who did not have the ability to produce independently.
In addition, it was not convenient for Huang Xu to show up in front of them and explain his ideas and plans in detail, so he could only ask for several complete variety show plans from them as templates, and then study these plans himself and write his own based on them.
Just as he was sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on writing a variety show plan, he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze coming, and then he felt a soft body lying directly on him.
Then Sunny's voice sounded in Huang Xu's ears.
"Huang Xu, what are you doing?"
"Their variety show planning."
"How is it going now? I remember you had finished it some time ago, didn't you?"
"Um, the previous work didn't go well, so we need to start over."
"Oh, let me see."
When Sunny heard that Huang Xu was planning a variety show, she immediately understood that Huang Xu was doing it for Tara and the others. So she became interested and turned to Huang Xu, wanting to see the content of the plan.
But when she saw it, she was dumbfounded.
Because what was displayed on Huang Xu’s computer was not Korean, but Chinese.
Although she has studied Chinese for a long time, her current level is only able to speak a few common words.
When it comes to written Chinese characters, she doesn't know too many of them, and quite a few of them are those she has been exposed to since childhood.
Yes, in fact, almost all Koreans know some Chinese characters. After all, although they claim to have their own independent language system, the system is not complete. There are still many Chinese characters in many formal written documents in Korea.
This is why it is said that almost all Koreans know some Chinese characters.
But they only know the part of Chinese characters that they are familiar with, and the Chinese characters they know are somewhat different from the simplified characters used in China today.
So she took a few glances, and when she realized she couldn't understand it, she gave up the idea of helping, and then said to Huang Xu:
"Then you continue to be busy. We will go play games nearby and won't disturb you."
"Okay, what do you want to play? How about I go to the side and make room for you guys here?"
When Huang Xu heard this, he prepared to stand up and make room for them.
After all, when they first started renovating the apartment, the gaming equipment was basically placed in the living room of this apartment. In the apartment next door, apart from the fitness equipment and Goo Hara and Choi Jinri's room, the rest were used as storage rooms and there were no gaming equipment.
When Sunny heard what Huang Xu said, she simply waved her hand and said:
"No, let's go over there and play on the computer. Taeyeon said there's a really fun computer game, so we're going to play that."
"Okay, go ahead, don't forget to bring some fruits and drinks."
"Do not worry."
After Sunny kissed Huang Xu on the face, she took her two teammates out of Apartment 1201.
Huang Xu looked at the three people's backs as they left, and began to concentrate on his own plan.
It's already May, and there's not much time left before Tara and her friends release their new album.
After all, their new album still requires a long period of training before it can be released.
It is best to prepare the promotional variety shows for them before the new album starts, otherwise it will be too late later.
Huang Xu spent the following time busy. When he was busy for a while and felt a little tired, he realized that it was already late.
I glanced at the clock on the wall in the living room. It showed that it was almost twelve o'clock, and the moon had already risen to the center of the night sky outside the window.
This made Huang Xu feel a little curious, and he murmured to himself:
"Aren't they back yet?"
Then I got up and went to the apartment next door to see what they were playing. Why was it almost twelve o'clock and they hadn't come back yet?
According to the habits of Kim Taeyeon and Jessica Jung in the past few days, they should have left at this time. Why can't we hear any movement now?
It couldn't be that they left today without saying goodbye to me.
With curiosity, Huang Xu pushed open the door of room 1202 next to him.
As a result, as soon as I opened the door, I heard Kim Taeyeon's loud voice inside.
"Sunny, hurry up, what are you hesitating about?"
"And you, Xika, why didn't you catch up?"
"."
Huang Xu was stunned when he heard Kim Taeyeon's high-pitched voice, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He now actually heard that Kim Taeyeon, who was the lowest combat effectiveness in the group, could actually say this about Sunny and Jessica Jung.
You have to know that Sunny’s fighting power in Girls’ Generation is just average, while Jessica’s fighting power is definitely top-notch!
How dare Kim Taeyeon?
Out of curiosity, Huang Xu followed the sound and entered the computer room that had just been cleaned up two days ago. Then he saw the retro but very familiar picture on the computer screen.
“So it’s this game!”
At the same time, he also knew why Kim Taeyeon dared to be so tough.
Although they are both gaming girls and have the same otaku personality, Sunny's favorite games are mostly console games. She doesn't like online games very much.
At least since being with him, Huang Xu has never seen Sunny play these online games.
But Kim Taeyeon is a little different. She was obsessed with various online games in her previous life.
Although Huang Xu had never seen her play this game, the Chicken Dance that she cosplayed in her previous life had been circulating on the Internet for a long time.
At this time, the three people who were immersed in the game noticed Huang Xu coming behind them.
"How did you come?"
Asking for the guaranteed monthly ticket for April!
