Chapter 369 Welcome to China
Eleven o'clock in the morning.

Xingcheng Huanghua International Airport.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chao. I made you wait for me all day yesterday."

As soon as Huang Xu walked out of the exit, he said sorry to Huang Chao.

I was supposed to come and meet him yesterday, but because I acted on impulse and said I wanted to treat the production crew to a meal, I was delayed for the entire day.

Of course, he would never admit that he stayed there for one more day because he coveted Park Hyomin.

Huang Chao waved his hand indifferently, took Huang Xu's suitcase and said to him.

"You are so busy, and there is no way to predict what will happen at the last minute."

"By the way, when will your guests arrive?"

"We landed around 2pm, and with them going through customs, it must be around 3pm at least."

Huang Xu glanced at the information on the big screen next to him and found that there was no indication of delay, so he asked Huang Chao.

"By the way, Brother Chao, how is the thing I asked you to prepare now?"

"Don't worry, everything is ready."

"The hotel has been booked. It's a five-star hotel that just opened last year. As for the car, we rented two Mercedes-Benz nine-seater business cars."

"We have also booked a large private room for 20 people at the restaurant tonight."

Huang Chao looked at Huang Xu, and then began to report to Huang Xu about his busy schedule over the past two days.

"Oh, and the alcohol you mentioned, I found three boxes of Jiugui Liquor that are more than ten years old from a local tobacco and liquor store."

"Take a look and see if it's enough. If not, I'll look for it again in the afternoon."

"Almost done. Thanks for the hard work, Brother Chao."

Huang Xu couldn't help but nodded after listening to Huang Chao's report.

His cousin has grown very rapidly in the past year, from a small maintenance worker to his current right-hand man.

No matter what the task is, as long as you give it to him, he can complete it perfectly.

It only took one day to set up the hotel, the car, and the three boxes of old wine. It can be said that the speed was quite good.

Especially those three boxes of wine that are more than ten years old, but they are not easy to find.

Huang Chao looked at Huang Xu nodding and affirming his work, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although he is Huang Xu's cousin, he has grown up following him closely since he was a child.

However, the experiences over the past six months, coupled with Huang Xu's earth-shaking changes, made it impossible for him to regard Huang Xu as just a little kid following behind him.

Even as his business grew larger, he became a little timid towards Huang Xu.

Huang Xu didn't know what his cousin was thinking. He followed Huang Chao to the parking lot and put his luggage in the car first.

Then he took him inside the airport and prepared to find a restaurant to solve his hunger problem.

I didn’t eat much last night, and then I worked until the early morning. In addition, I didn’t have breakfast in the morning because I had to catch a flight.

Now, all I have in my stomach are the snacks I had on the plane, and I am already starving.

I found a McDonald's, ordered a lot of food, and started to eat.

The calorie-boosting combination of hamburgers, fried chicken and cola made Huang Xu very satisfied.

We are used to all kinds of big meals and healthy diets on weekdays, and it is quite a good experience to have a meal of this high-calorie "junk" food occasionally.

The food tasted so delicious that even Huang Chao, who was sitting opposite him, became curious.

"Why do you eat so deliciously? Didn't you have breakfast?"

"It's not just this morning. I didn't eat enough last night."

"No wonder, is this enough to eat?"

"No, I'll go get you a family bucket?"

As Huang Xu's cousin, he knew Huang Xu's appetite very well.

Even though they have ordered a lot of food, it may not be enough for Huang Xu.

And Huang Xu had no intention of refusing.

"Well, another family bucket please. Oh, and get me a Coke."

"okay."

Huang Chao nodded, then stood up and went to help Huang Xu order food.

By the time he came back with the food, Huang Xu had almost finished all the food he had just ordered.

After helping to open the family bucket, he sat down and watched Huang Xu eating with relish. His appetite also increased and he ate several more pieces of fried chicken.

The two brothers spent more than twenty minutes and finally filled their stomachs. Then they left the McDonald's and found an empty seat near the exit to chat.

The first one was Huang Chao. He looked at Huang Xu and asked with some confusion.

"What on earth are you doing here this time?"

"Not only did they book so many rooms, they also rented two cars. Why did they prepare so many things?"

"I don't remember what business our company has here?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

Huang Xu was also very surprised when he heard his cousin's question.

Huang Chao looked at Huang Xu with a frown on his face.

"Of course you didn't tell me. You just called me a few days ago and called me over from Eagle City. Then you assigned me a bunch of tasks and didn't say anything else."

"Well, I was negligent."

Huang Xu thought about it and realized that he seemed to have never told his cousin about this matter, so he said to him.

"I acquired a brokerage company a few months ago. This time I came back to discuss cooperation with the cultural and tourism department here."

"what?"

"No, what are you shouting for? Sit down first and talk."

Seeing his cousin standing up and shouting out of surprise, Huang Xu quickly pulled him down to sit down.

This is the airport. Although they are in a corner and there are not many people around them, Huang Xu is still very cautious.

As someone who has lived through the era of rampant self-media, he knows that there are a lot of audiences in this world.

In the past, when someone let loose in a deserted area, many people would watch and record it.

Not to mention that this is an airport with dense surveillance and a large number of people?
He didn't want to be noticed by someone or recorded because of this, increasing the chances of his identity being exposed.

Huang Chao also noticed something was wrong. After sitting down, he asked Huang Xu in a low voice.

"Why did you suddenly acquire an agency and cooperate with the Culture and Tourism Bureau?"

In his opinion, Huang Xu's actions were extremely irrational.

Unlike opening a restaurant or running a fast food chain, they at least have some understanding of these things and are developing quite well.

Not to mention Huang Xu and my uncle, the two initiators.

Take himself for example. He has only been working with Huang Xu for half a year. With his salary and various bonuses, he now has a savings of four or five hundred thousand.

This was the income he earned from his previous job, which he couldn't save even after working for ten years.

He felt that if he worked for another two years, he would be able to buy a house and get married on his own.

That's why he felt that Huang Xu was a little irrational and rashly ventured into areas he didn't understand.

Especially in high-risk, high-investment industries such as entertainment agency brokerage.

Huang Xu looked at Huang Chao's confusion, but did not get angry. Instead, he patiently explained.

"Actually, my uncle has already talked about me before, and I have explained it to him."

"Our franchise business is doing very well, but we are just trying to make a quick buck in the next few years."

"Once more people see the profits here, more people will enter this industry."

"By that time, it will be very difficult for us to make money."

"But."

"I know, Brother Chao, I know what you want to say, but please listen to me first." Huang Xu waved his hand to stop Huang Chao from speaking, and then began to explain.

"As for why I wanted to start a brokerage company, it actually took me a long time to think about it."

"Yes, I don't know much about this industry, but aren't there other people who do know?"

"Sunny and Hara, both of them have been in the entertainment industry for several years and have a deep understanding of this industry."

"Especially Sunny. Her father and uncle both run brokerage companies. We can ask them for help on many things."

"And most importantly, they can't keep working in other people's companies forever. I'll open one first, and when their contracts expire, they can directly join the company. This way, they don't have to worry about too many things."

"Yeah, I forgot about my two younger siblings."

After listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Huang Chao nodded to show his understanding.

But he also remembered something and asked Huang Xu curiously.

"I won't ask you about starting a company. Just make your own considerations. But I'm still very curious."

"What are you three going to do next?"

"It seems that neither Korea nor here can marry two people at the same time."

"I am also troubled by this matter now."

Huang Xu also felt a headache after listening to Huang Chao's words.

And his actual situation now is not just Sunny and Goo Hara, but also includes Kim Taeyeon and Park Hyomin, making a total of four people.

If you want to marry four at the same time, then the law will only allow it in those Arab regions of Saudi Arabia.

And besides the law, there is another thing that is even more difficult to deal with.

Those are their families, and they are what really give Huang Xu a headache.

If the issue of marriage was just a headache for Huang Xu and he could think of a way to solve it, then regarding their families, Huang Xu only felt despair.

But then he thought of something and asked Huang Chao.

"Brother, stop talking about me and talk about yourself."

"What did you say about me?"

"Of course it's about your partner?"

Huang Xu looked at him with a teasing look.

"I heard that the guy you met during the Chinese New Year is now dead?"

"Forehead"

"Hey, tell me, what's going on?"

Huang Xu looked at the embarrassed expression on Huang Chao's face and immediately became interested.

He also heard from his uncle when he returned to Seoul a few days ago that Huang Chao had broken up with his girlfriend.

But he hasn't had time to ask the specific reason yet.

Now that there is a chance, he naturally won't miss it.

Huang Chao felt embarrassed being stared at by Huang Xu, and didn't want to talk about his sad story.

However, looking at Huang Xu's curious eyes, he finally sighed and continued speaking.

"In fact, our first interactions were quite pleasant."

"But later on, wasn't I always out and about, always on business trips?"

"Then gradually the contact became less and less, and then it gradually faded, and she happened to meet someone who pursued her, so..."

"So you were poached because of me?"

Huang Xu didn't expect that in the end, all he had to do was eat melons because of him.

If he didn't arrange for Huang Chao to travel around the country and go on business trips frequently, does that mean that Huang Chao would not break up with him?
"I'm sorry, Brother Chao, it's my fault. If I hadn't asked you to go on a business trip, you wouldn't have either."

"It's not your problem. It's that we are not suitable for each other."

Huang Chao waved his hand and then spoke to Huang Xu.

"She yearns for the life of a white-collar worker in the city and a refined petty-bourgeois lifestyle. She will definitely live in the city in the future."

"In my case, even if I don't travel and I can be around her every day, she will still leave."

"Not to mention, the guy I'm pursuing is a city dweller himself. His family owns a car and a house in the city. He's also funnier and more handsome than me."

"alright."

After listening to this, Huang Xu looked at Huang Chao who had given up and his face was full of helplessness.

If Huang Chao himself had not given up, Huang Xu would still have a way to persuade him, but since he had given up, then no matter how much Huang Xu persuaded him, it would be useless.

But now there is another problem that Huang Xu needs to solve.

"Brother, do you think that people like us who come from the countryside are not worthy of them and cannot compare to the people in the city?"

"I"

"No, brother, do you really think so?"

Huang Xu looked at Huang Chao in surprise. He didn't expect that his cousin would actually feel this way and be so inferior.

“Do you know how much you earn now?”

"It's been less than a year now, so you should have been paid 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. Most people in the city can't get that much income."

"Also, regarding the house and car issue you mentioned, with the money you have now, there should be no problem paying the down payment."

"As for the car, you can drive the company car now. By next year, you will have enough money to buy a car."

"Who are you with now, and what's missing?"

"This"

Huang Chao also felt a certain shock when listening to Huang Xu's words.

In the past, when he was getting along with his girlfriend, he had always been a bit inferior.

Of course, the main reason is that he has not yet adapted to the change in his identity.

When I graduated from college and started working, I worked in a factory, doing equipment inspection and maintenance work as an apprentice.

So when he is with his partner, he always feels inferior to her.

But after Huang Xu's current explanation, he found that he didn't seem to be bad after all.

With his current income, he can afford a house and a car, so why does he still feel that she is superior to him?

Huang Xu looked at his cousin who was lost in thought and shook his head helplessly.

He didn't expect that Huang Chao would actually end up in this situation, but when it came to buying a house, he also remembered it.

I seem to be in the country and don’t have a house yet.

Why not buy a house to live in now while it is still early and house prices in many places have not risen yet?

Especially in Yanjing, the requirements for settling there are not so strict now. You can buy a house first and then get your household registration there when you come back. It will also be more convenient for your children to go to school in the future.

He doesn't want his children to go through the hellish college entrance examination in Henan Province again.

The following time was spent in the two of them chatting slowly.

Around three o'clock, Huang Xu and his cousin stood at the international exit holding signs and waiting for their arrival.

Ten minutes later, Huang Xu saw a group of people wearing dark suits, who looked like they were doing business.

"Uncle, welcome to China."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxu. It's really too much trouble for you."

Li Xiuman greeted Huang Xu with a smile on his face, and then introduced him to the people behind him.

"This is Huang Xu, my nephew, and he's also considered a half-landlord here."

When he introduced Huang Xu, he gave a very brief and vague introduction and didn't say much.

Huang Xu was also happy about this and greeted the other party.

"Let's go uncle, we've already booked a room there, let's go to the hotel and rest for a while, and then we can talk about the rest of the night."
