Chapter 397 Unexpected Visitor
"Why did you bear to come here this time?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to accompany Oppa to China?"

"Don't I miss you?"

Faced with her friend's complaints, Goo Hara responded with a little embarrassment.

During this period of time, when she was resting, she was basically accompanying Huang Xu, and she did neglect Cui Zhenli a little, so she quickly picked up the coffee in her hand to change the subject.

"Okay, let's talk about the details later. I brought you some coffee. Would you like to share it with your teammates?"

"oh oh."

Choi Jin-ri then realized that this was a public place, not a place for the two of them to reminisce. She took the coffee from Goo Hara and took her to her teammates.

KARA and FX are both second-generation groups. Although they debuted two years apart, the members are not strangers and often meet each other in various variety shows.

And there is also Choi Jin-ri. They communicate quite a bit on a daily basis, and you can even say they are acquaintances.

So after exchanging a few pleasantries and congratulating them, Goo Hara asked Song Qian.

"How many events do you have to run today?"

"What time is it?"

As a member of a girl group idol, Goo Hara knows clearly how full the idol group's schedule is during the promotion period.

Especially girl groups like FX, whose title song can reach the top of the list as soon as it is released.

During this period of time, they have basically been working non-stop for 24 hours, and they can only rest during the breaks in their schedule.

So she didn't ask them if they had any other schedules, but directly asked how many shows were left and what were the times and locations.

Song Qian did not hesitate and directly told Goo Hara about her team's upcoming schedule.

"We are in Mapo District at 5:30."

"Seven o'clock, in Cheongdam-dong"

"8:20, I have to go."

"."

"I understand. In other words, I just need to send Shirley to Mapo District before five o'clock so as not to delay your performance, right?"

Goo Hara glanced at the time. It was only a little after three in the afternoon, and there was still more than an hour until five o'clock.

So he took Choi Jinri's hand and spoke to them.

"Then let me borrow Shirley for a while. I will send her over on time and safely."

After saying goodbye to everyone at FX, Goo Hara took Choi Jin-ri back to her car.

Seeing Choi Jinri adjusting her seat and half-lying down after getting in the car with an expression of enjoyment, Goo Hara's face showed a distressed look.

"You must be very tired these days!"

"Of course you are. You have experienced death during the promotion period before."

"I haven't gotten much sleep for several days now. I really want to find a place to have a good rest."

After sighing, Choi Jin-ri found the right backrest angle, then took off her shoes and prepared to relax with some exercise.

After non-stop singing and dancing these past few days, her calves, ankles, and even toes are feeling stiff and uncomfortable.

Even so, because she is tall, she still wears flat shoes.

If I put on high heels, it wouldn't just be discomfort, it would be to the point where I would need to apply a plaster.

Now that there were only her friends in the car and no outsiders, Choi Jin-ri naturally didn't need to act pretentiously. She simply showed her most comfortable and relaxed posture in front of Goo Hara without reservation.

After seeing it, Goo Hara was not surprised and didn't even look at it twice.

As best friends for several years, who often live together and have slept in the same bed countless times, her familiarity with Choi Jin-ri is beyond many people's imagination.

Choi Jin-ri, who was next to her, took off her shoes, found a comfortable position to lie down, took a sip of ice coffee, and then looked curiously at Goo Hara who was driving.

"Hola, you didn't tell me just now, why did you come back suddenly?"

"Didn't you go to China with Huang Xu Oppa the day before yesterday?"

"Why are you back now?"

"Hey, something happened, and Oppa had to come back quickly to deal with it, so I followed him back."

"It's just a pity that this vacation is wasted."

Speaking of this, a trace of loss appeared on Goo Hara's face.

She had finally waited for a vacation and wanted to spend some time alone with Huang Xu and enjoy herself.

Now because of Tara and her friends’ variety show incident, it’s all gone.

Choi Jin-ri looked at the disappointment on Goo Hara's face and complained to her without any politeness.

"If it weren't for this, would you have time to come and see me?"

"Forehead"

"As expected, you forget your principles when you see beauty."

After complaining to Goo Hara again, Choi Jin-ri then asked with concern.

"What's wrong with Oppa that would make him put down his time with you and come back to deal with it?"

"Is it serious?"

As a witness to the entire process of Huang Xu and Goo Hara from meeting each other to being together, she has a deep understanding of the extent to which Huang Xu dotes on Goo Hara.

It must be serious now that he can put Goo Hara aside and run back to deal with things.

So she was still a little worried.

When Goo Hara heard her friend's question, she was in a difficult situation for a moment.

On the one hand, they are her best friend and they can talk about anything, but on the other hand, Huang Xu needs to keep the fact that he is Tara's boss a secret.

In the end, she could only give a vague reply.

"It's just that there are some things in his company that he needs to come back to deal with. It's not very serious."

"By the way, I came to see you today because I actually have something else to tell you."

"What's going on?"

"Hey, it's a good thing. It's a very good thing."

Goo Hara chuckled, and then with a happy look on her face, she told Choi Jinri about Huang Xu's plan to open a franchise company for her.

In fact, she had been keeping this matter in her heart since yesterday, and wanted to find someone to share her joy with.

I just haven’t found the right person or the right opportunity to share it with you.

Now that she has finally found Choi Jin-ri, she naturally wants to share with her Huang Xu's love for her and her own happiness.

Goo Hara, who was so excited in her story, didn't notice that Choi Jin-ri, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a hint of envy in her eyes while listening to her.

Like Goo Hara, she also comes from a poor family and lacks emotional support.

Compared with ordinary people outside, they are more eager for someone to care about them, and may even develop some paranoid emotions or impulses because of this.

Maybe this is why the relationship between the two of them is so good.

To put it bluntly, they are just two people who share the same suffering and are huddling together for warmth.

However, Choi Jin-ri, who should have been happy for Goo Hara, suddenly felt something strange in her heart. Listening to Goo Hara's story, she could already feel how much Huang Xu loved her.

Although she knew a long time ago that Huang Xu was very fond of Goo Hara when they were together.

This kind of pampering is not just verbal, but down-to-earth and can be reflected in almost everything.

This is also what she just said about Goo Hara.

But she could never have imagined that Huang Xu would dote on Goo Hara so much that he would even set up a franchise chain company for her.

This made her a little bit confused and even a little bit unbelievable.

Even though she hadn't paid much special attention to it, she still had some understanding of Huang Xu's franchise company.

Know how much profit a franchise chain company can create.

So after Goo Hara finished speaking, she asked Goo Hara in an incredulous tone.

"Is this true? Huang Xu Oppa really wants to open a franchise company for you?"

"Yes, of course it's true."

"This is a gift from Oppa. He took me to inspect many stores yesterday and told me a lot of things."

Goo Hara nodded with a happy smile and then added.

"And the preliminary preparations should be started in a few days."

"."

Looking at Goo Hara's happy appearance, Choi Jin-ri suddenly felt a sour feeling.

She found that she seemed a little jealous of Goo Hara.

Why did she meet Huang Xu, a man who was so good to her, instead of herself?

Just as Goo Hara and Choi Jin-ri were sharing their joy and happiness, the male protagonist Huang Xu had just finished his meeting with Kim Tae-woo and returned to the apartment.

"Hasn't Hal come back yet?"

Looking at the empty apartment, Huang Xu also felt a little surprised.

It’s not that he doesn’t know that Goo Hara has gone out, but he is a little curious why Goo Hara hasn’t come back yet.

In the afternoon, Goo Hara told herself that she wanted to go see Choi Jin-ri and visit her on set.

But even if he went to see Choi Jin-ri, he should be back by now.

Now is the promotion period for Choi Jin-ri and her teammates. They are either on a schedule or on their way to a schedule, and basically have no free time.

Not to mention chatting and shopping with Goo Hara, they may not even be able to guarantee their own rest time.

How could I have so much time to chat with Goo Hara?

With curiosity and worry, Huang Xu called Goo Hara and learned that she was going to accompany Choi Jinri on two trips. He didn't say anything when he asked her to spend more time with him.

I just told her to be careful and come back early in the evening, then hung up the phone.

Huang Xu felt relieved, then took out his notebook, sat on the sofa, and started to deal with the unfinished work.

To put it simply, it was just to sort out the conversation he just had with Kim Tae-woo.

After meeting with Kim Tae-woo in the afternoon, the two talked about a lot of things, including the handling methods and results of the variety show group members, as well as the subsequent remedial measures.

Of course, more things are about the company's future development plans.

It can be said that the content of their conversation involved a lot of things, and he needed to sort them out and sort them out carefully.

This was Huang Xu’s first time being a boss. He had no help from his uncle, and the industry he was working in was the entertainment industry, which he had never known before.

The most important thing is that he had just suffered a loss because of this.

To be on the safe side, he decided to write down everything that happened in the conversation, and then slowly think about how to solve the problem or make a corresponding decision.

This should make up for the shortcomings caused by lack of experience.

But he had only been busy for a while when his ears moved. He put down the paper and pen and frowned.

Then, following the noise he had just heard, he shifted his gaze to a wall in the living room.

He seemed to have heard a slight sound coming from next door, and then someone screamed.

This made Huang Xu nervous.

You should know that when renting an apartment here, Sunny and Goo Hara rented two adjacent apartments.

This apartment building is the type with two elevators and two households because the rooms are relatively large.

That is, there are only two apartments on this floor.

In order to protect privacy, Goo Hara also rented the apartment next to them and turned the living room into a gym.

That means the room next door is also theirs.

Now Goo Hara is out with Choi Jin-ri on her schedule, while Sunny and Kim Taeyeon went to the United States with Tiffany.

The three of them were invited to throw the first pitch for the Korea Day event of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they also sang the national anthems of the two countries.

Why haven’t you come back yet?

Then how could the sound come from the apartment next door?

"Could a thief have gotten in?"

"That shouldn't be the case. There shouldn't be such loopholes in the security here, right?"

Before he and Sunny rented a house, the first thing they considered was the issue of property security.

And during the few months they have lived here, they have lived up to Huang Xu and his friends' trust and no problems have arisen.

So what is that sound?

Out of curiosity, Huang Xu went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, slowly walked out of the apartment, and came to the door of another apartment.

Huang Xu listened for a while, but heard no sound. Then he slowly and carefully opened the door.

As the door opened, a faint moaning sound reached Huang Xu's ears.

"What the hell?"

"How could there be someone inside?"

Out of curiosity, Huang Xu carefully took two steps inside, and then he saw a beautiful figure sitting on the ground next to the fitness equipment in the living room.

Although I haven't seen the other person's face clearly, I can tell from her exquisite curves that she is a great beauty.

After taking another step closer, looking at the other person's exposed skin and feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, Huang Xu recognized the person.

He put the hand holding the kitchen knife behind his back and then asked her.

"Why are you here?"

"Ah~~!"

Hearing Huang Xu's voice, the figure froze at first, then slowly turned his head and looked at Huang Xu in shock.

"Hey, why are you back?"

"Didn't you go to China and it will take several days for you to come back?"
