Chapter 385

The next day, in the office of Huang Wenfu, a restaurant chain company.

"Are you sober now?"

"woke up."

"So what did you say yesterday, do you still insist on it?"

After pouring a cup of tea for Huang Xu, Huang Wenfu stared into Huang Xu's eyes, waiting for his answer.

Last night, he had already got home from get off work, but he received a call from Huang Xu, saying that he wanted to meet.

Then he saw Huang Xu, who was drunk, appeared in front of him and said that he would no longer accept a second round of franchise.

Not only that, he also wants to transfer the company's current 20 direct-operated sauerkraut fish stores and four malatang shops.

Even their restaurant chains will gradually reduce their size and maintain their current market without further development.

Hearing this, he was stunned.

He had seen the risks the company was facing and wanted to warn Huang Xu, but he didn't expect that Huang Xu would do something so extreme.

However, looking at Huang Xu who was drunk, he did not argue with Huang Xu. Instead, he took Huang Xu to have a meal at home, drank a few more sips with him, and then let him go back.

Let him talk to me about this topic after he sobers up today.

Huang Xu, who was sitting opposite him, took the tea handed to him by Huang Wenfu, slowly tasted it, and then slowly spoke.

"Yes uncle, I still stick to my idea from yesterday."

"As for the reason, I also said it yesterday. It's just for insurance and to make it easier for us to get out."

"Is it necessary to be so cruel?"

Listening to Huang Xu's firm tone, although I had heard it once yesterday, I still couldn't help feeling a little confused.

In response to his uncle's doubts, Huang Xu nodded with certainty.

"Is necessary."

"Uncle, I believe that you reminded me two days ago because you saw our current situation and what we might encounter if things continue to develop."

"Since this is possible, we might as well be more decisive and ruthless."

"But this will cause us a lot of losses."

When Huang Wenfu listened to Huang Xu's words, an expression of regret appeared on his face.

"Let's not talk about how much money they can make from subsequent development and expansion. Our 24 directly-operated stores can bring very generous returns to the company every month."

"If I sell it now, then..."

"I understand uncle, I know how much money we will lose."

Huang Xu nodded, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

These stores may seem insignificant, and compared with the income they earned from joining the franchise previously, it can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

However, the profits of these stores cannot be underestimated.

Take these 20 newly opened sauerkraut fish direct-operated stores for example. In the first month, each store can provide the company with more than 10 million won in revenue.

These twenty stores have a total value of more than 200 million won.

In addition, there are four Malatang shops. Although the profitability of these shops cannot be compared with that of sauerkraut fish due to the proliferation of Malatang shops.

But all these added together amount to more than 30 million.

By this calculation, these directly-operated stores alone can provide the company with approximately 230 to 250 million won in revenue each month.

Moreover, the profits from these stores can be a long-term cash cow.

Huang Xu felt a little sad when he thought about giving all these up now.

However, thinking about the future direction of relations between the two countries and the many operations on the South Korean side, Huang Xu hardened his heart and said to his uncle.

"But you also know that our current situation, although not as dire as it seems, is pretty close."

"In fact, some people should have noticed us now."

"But isn't this too extreme?"

Huang Wenfu knew what Huang Xu was talking about, and that he was the cause of the incident, but he still felt a little regretful.

“There are more than 20 stores here!”

"Hey, uncle, don't feel sorry for it."

"We don't sell our shops so easily. If they don't pay enough, we won't sell them so easily."

"And uncle, when we first started, wasn't the goal we set to make money?"

"Now that we have earned wealth far beyond our imagination, we should be satisfied."

"Yeah, that should be enough."

Huang Wenfu listened to Huang Xu's words and nodded with great emotion.

A year ago, when he was still working as a chef, he never thought that he would become what he is now.

And thinking back on the company's financial data, even if he retires now, it will be enough for him to live a rich life.

But there was still a hint of loneliness in his words.

After seeing this situation, Huang Xu first poured himself a cup of tea, and then started to make big promises to his uncle.

"Uncle, we just closed these stores, but we didn't say we can't open new ones in the future."

"It's just that by then, we may need to change our identities."

"Besides Seoul, we can also consider other places in China."

"Change your identity? Domestic?"

Hearing Huang Xu's words, Huang Wenfu immediately let go of his reluctance and looked at Huang Xu with great interest.

For him, it is indeed a pity to sell these profitable shops.

But if we can open a restaurant in China, then none of these will be a problem.

The two words "returning to one's roots" and "returning home in glory" are the two things that matter the most to the Chinese people who work hard abroad.

Now that he has the opportunity to achieve this, the temptation is incomparable to him.

Faced with his uncle's anxious look, Huang Xu no longer concealed the truth and began to tell him about his plan.

"First, after we transferred these stores, we began to slowly downsize our company's staff, laying them off little by little."

"Later, the company gradually transformed into a trading company that only provided them with supplies."

"Next, I will set up a company in the United States, enter Korea through there, and then develop other franchise businesses."

"With the American endorsement, I believe that there won't be so many people watching in Korea."

"As for the domestic situation, I also have an idea, that is."

"."

While Huang Xu was telling his uncle about his plan in the company, something happened on the other side in Girls' Generation's Cheongdam-dong dormitory.

Just after ten o'clock in the morning, Kim Taeyeon appeared in the dormitory with a small bag and pushed open the door of her and Sunny's room.

Looking at Sunny sleeping soundly on the bed, she put down her bag and pounced on her.

"Lee Sunkyu, prepare to die!"

As he said that, he pulled up the sleeping Sunny and started shaking her wildly.

"Oh Mo, what?"

Sunny, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a huge force coming, and then her body began to shake continuously.

And he could also hear Kim Taeyeon's complaints about him.

"Why are you trying to hurt me?"

"Why do you make me wear that kind of clothes?"

"Don't you know that I was alone yesterday?"

"."

"What? What?"

Sunny was suddenly awakened, but her mind was still spinning. With Kim Taeyeon shaking wildly, she couldn't concentrate on thinking. "Taeyeon, what happened?"

"Please let me go first."

"At least let me know how I have offended you."

As Sunny continued to beg for mercy, and as Kim Taeyeon was a little tired, she slowly stopped shaking.

After tidying up her messy hair, Kim Taeyeon looked at Sunny and said.

"You still said how you offended me, have you forgotten what you did yesterday?"

"Why did you make me wear that dress?"

"Huh? This?"

After Kim Taeyeon's reminder and her brain coming back online, Sunny already understood what had happened.

At the same time, he also found out why Kim Taeyeon came to settle the score with him.

To put it bluntly, yesterday Kim Taeyeon was bewitched by herself and put on a JK student uniform, and then was severely taught a lesson by Huang Xu.

Now it’s time to settle the score with myself.

Just seeing that Kim Taeyeon was safe and sound and her movements were not affected at all, Sunny became a little confused.

"Why are you okay?"

"It stands to reason that you can't be here now, right?"

"You still said."

Seeing Sunny's playful eyes, Kim Taeyeon also recalled what happened last night.

If Huang Xu hadn't felt sorry for me, I would really be here now, just like Sunny said.

So Kim Taeyeon, who had just rested for a while and recovered some strength, launched an attack on Sunny again.

"It's all your fault. Do you know what I did yesterday?"

"Die, Sunny."

Although Kim Taeyeon is very powerful, the situation this time is a little different from last time.

Just now, she was not fully awake and was suddenly attacked by Kim Taeyeon, so she was unable to fight back.

But now that she is awake, the situation is a little different.

Although Kim Taeyeon has been exercising regularly recently, her fighting power is still not as good as Sunny's.

What's more, has Kim Taeyeon started working out?
Sunny's current fitness intensity is not much worse than Kim Taeyeon's, and is even higher.

After all, if you don’t have enough physical strength, you really can’t withstand Huang Xu’s attack!

Just as the two sisters were playing in the bedroom, two figures suddenly appeared at the door.

"Taeyeon, Sunny, what are you doing?"

"Why are you making a fuss so early in the morning?"

Tiffany looked at the two people who were fighting, her expression revealing helplessness.

She went to bed very late yesterday and suddenly heard a loud noise, so she got up quickly to see what was going on.

It turned out that it was Kim Taeyeon and Sunny who were playing around, and the tension just now disappeared instantly.

Even now, I want to complain to the two people who disturbed my sleep.

And it's not just her. Kwon Yuri next to her, whose skin, which was not very fair to begin with, looks even darker.

But they were still a little curious.

"Why are you guys fighting this time?"

"Uh, it's okay, we were just joking."

"Yeah, we were just kidding."

After hearing their teammates' questions, Sunny and Kim Taeyeon quickly let go of each other, saying that they were just joking and there was no other reason.

The two men's attempt to cover up their true intentions made the two people at the door even more confused.

"It's so mysterious, so let's not talk about it."

"But keep your voices down for a while, we still need to sleep!"

But compared to curiosity, the most important thing for them now is to go back and take a nap.

So after giving a warning, the two of them turned around and left, preparing to go back for a nap.

Kim Taeyeon and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two men were not curious.

But then the two began to blame each other.

"Look at you. You woke them up because you were too loud."

"Fortunately, they were still sleepy and didn't investigate further."

"Ah~, who is it because of?"

Sunny listened to Kim Taeyeon's complaints and fought back without any hesitation.

"If you hadn't come to find me so early in the morning, would I have shouted so loudly?"

"That's because you tricked me in the front, otherwise why would I come to you for trouble?"

"I'm cheating you?"

"That's voluntary, isn't it?"

"And just tell me whether you felt comfortable yesterday or not?"

"I"

Thinking back to Huang Xu's excited look last night and her obviously more sensitive reaction, Kim Taeyeon's face involuntarily blushed.

Although the result of yesterday was painful, the beginning and the process in between were quite comfortable.

Sunny also saw Kim Taeyeon's reaction, and then she thought of something, and said to Kim Taeyeon in a meaningful tone:

"Hey, yesterday was fun, right?"

"Yeah~~"

Following a roar from Kim Taeyeon, the two of them fought for a while, thus ending this morning's "morning exercise".

Half an hour later.

"Wow, this steamed dumpling is so delicious."

"The meat is fragrant, fresh and juicy, this is what dumplings are made of!"

After Tiffany took a bite of the steamed dumpling, she began to sigh with happiness on her face, and her performance was very exaggerated.

But it’s not surprising that she had such a reaction. Today’s steamed dumplings were really very different from the ones she had eaten before.

Korea actually has dumplings as well, but they are mainly fried, and the fillings are basically mostly seasoned vermicelli.

The steamed dumplings she was eating now were made by Huang Xu after he got up this morning and asked Kim Taeyeon to bring them over.

The pork filling, which is 30% fat and 70% lean, is added with green onions, minced ginger, and a little chicken broth. Needless to say, the taste is great.

And it wasn't just Tiffany, Kwon Yuri was also nodding frequently at the steamed dumplings.

However, compared to Tiffany who only noticed the delicious dumplings, she noticed another person.

"Taeyeon, where did you buy these dumplings? They're so delicious."

"I also want to buy some and let my parents try it."

"You can't buy it. This is made by Huang Xu. It's not sold outside."

"Is that so?"

Listening to Kim Taeyeon's answer, Kwon Yuri nodded slightly, then suddenly looked into her eyes and asked.

"Then how did you get these steamed dumplings, Taeyeon?"

"I remember you were going home yesterday, why did you come back so early and get these?"
