Chapter 408 Solution
"Ouni, they've left, you can come out now."

"Have they left?"

Following Goo Hara's voice, Kim Taeyeon slowly opened the door a crack and carefully observed the indoor environment.

Only after seeing Goo Hara nod in confirmation did he breathe a sigh of relief and slowly walked out of the room.

"It's good that he left. Otherwise, I really don't know how to face him later."

"Ouni, you can't keep hiding from Oppa like this, right?"

"What needs to be faced will be faced sooner or later."

Goo Hara looked at Kim Taeyeon's expression and advised with a bit of amusement.

"Didn't you just take the initiative yesterday?"

"It's not your fault, unnie. Anyone who spends enough time with Oppa will fall in love with him."

"That won't work either. I'll hide for as long as I can."

When Kim Taeyeon heard what Goo Hara said, she suddenly had the urge to cover her face and run away.

The more proactive she was last night, the more embarrassed she is today.

She thought she was very rational and would not fall in love easily, but suddenly she realized that she just hadn't met the right person before.

Last night, I was so proactive just because Huang Xu didn't forget about me when he was preparing gifts for Sunny and Goo Hara.

So after waking up, he did not walk out of the room directly, but sent a message to Goo Hara and then "pretended to be dead" in the master bedroom.

As for why I didn’t send a message to Sunny.

Of course, that was because she was afraid that after seeing the news, Sunny would not only not help, but would make things even more complicated.

Goo Hara is still a little safer and did not disappoint her expectations.

Goo Hara looked at Kim Taeyeon's expression, just smiled, and did not continue to persuade her. Instead, she asked Kim Taeyeon.

"Ouni, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"Yes, my stomach has been sending out signals for a long time now."

"If they hadn't left, I would have come out a long time ago."

When Kim Taeyeon heard about eating, she immediately patted her belly and looked at Goo Hara with some anticipation.

"What did Huang Xu make for breakfast this morning?"

"Oppa and I made meat buns together today, and had soy milk."

As Goo Hara spoke, she brought out the breakfast that Huang Xu had reserved for Kim Taeyeon in the morning.

Kim Taeyeon also thanked and started to enjoy the food.

Ever since she got together with Huang Xu, or to say, before they confirmed their relationship and when she was working out and losing weight here, she had actually fallen in love with Chinese-style breakfast.

Compared to the traditional Korean breakfast of soybean paste soup, or the milk bread, coffee sandwiches that young people prefer nowadays.

There are countless varieties and styles of breakfast in China.

There are already thirty or forty breakfast combinations that I have tasted at Huang Xu's place and those he brought with him.

And according to Huang Xu, these are not all, they are just a drop in the bucket.

Plus, she had just made plans to stay away from Huang Xu for a few days, so she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a good meal.

Although she said that, Kim Taeyeon only drank a small bowl of soy milk and ate two small meat buns.

Even so, she was already rubbing her stomach and kept saying that she was very full.

However, she looked at the uneaten buns and had no intention of giving up. Instead, she asked Goo Hara.

"Hola, are there any lunch boxes at home?"

"I want to take some buns with me."

"Sure, unnie, I'll get you a lunch box."

Goo Hara stood up and went to the cupboard to look for her lunch box.

However, after taking out the lunch box, she still asked another question without giving up.

"Ouni, are you really planning on not seeing Oppa for a few days?"

"Well, it's gone. I'll talk to you in a few days."

"It just so happens that I have to run some schedules these days, so I don't have much time."

"Okay, then do you want to try the soup I made?"

Hearing that Kim Taeyeon had made her decision, Goo Hara stopped trying to persuade her and instead began to recommend the stew she made.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, she went to visit Choi Jin-ri and the others on set. Seeing that they were all tired and exhausted, she thought of sending them some stewed food with medicinal ingredients to help them replenish their energy.

But Huang Xu will be very busy these days and has a lot of things to do, so she thought about making some for them herself and sending them over.

And the long-term goal she set for herself was to be a good wife and mother to Huang Xu.

How can I do this if I can’t cook?
So after coming back the day before yesterday, she asked Huang Xu to start teaching her how to cook some dishes, taking advantage of the opportunity to train her in advance.

Today's breakfast, for example, was made with her help.

As for the stew, she would make it according to the recipe written by Huang Xu and send it to Choi Jin-ri and the others in the afternoon.

So I invited Kim Taeyeon to come and have a taste.

When Kim Taeyeon heard Goo Hara's invitation, she looked at the time and saw that there was still time, so she watched Goo Hara wash the ingredients and the mixed medicinal materials, add clean water, seal the lid, and put them in the steamer.

"Is this good?"

"Hey, doesn't it seem simple to me, unnie?"

Goo Hara looked at Kim Taeyeon's surprised expression and explained to her excitedly.

“I originally thought cooking would be difficult and complicated.”

"But Oppa told me that cooking is not that difficult if you know the tricks."

"And there are many cooking methods. In order to maintain the original flavor, the cooking method will be very simple."

"Is that so?"

Kim Taeyeon nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Goo Hara.

"So are there any others? Can I learn from them?"

"of course."

When Goo Hara saw that Kim Taeyeon also became interested in cooking, she excitedly took out the recipe that Huang Xu helped write and said to her.

"Besides, Oppa wrote me a lot of recipes the night before last. They are all relatively simple. Do you want to try them?"

"Well, come on."

Looking at the recipe in Goo Hara's hand, Kim Taeyeon nodded directly.

After waking up early this morning, her first thought was shyness. She didn't want to face Huang Xu for a few days.

The second thought was that I must be independent and stop relying so much on Huang Xu.

Now learning cooking is her first step.

While Kim Taeyeon and Goo Hara were learning how to cook following Huang Xu's handwritten recipes, Huang Xu, on the other side, brought Sunny and Lee Soo Man to meet in a private room of a restaurant.

After meeting, we first exchanged the usual greetings and asked about each other's lives during this period.

Anyway, we just ate and drank, chatted for a while about random things, and kept in touch.

Only after three rounds of drinks did Lee Soo-man get down to business.

"Xiao Xu, you asked me out yesterday. Was it about the new company?" "Yes, uncle. Yesterday, I heard from President Jin Taiyu that the preparations for the new company didn't seem to be progressing very well, so I wanted to ask you about it."

When Huang Xu saw that Lee Soo Man finally started talking about business, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he looked at the other party seriously and asked.

"Did you encounter any problems over there?"

"Alas, now we have indeed encountered a little problem."

In response to Huang Xu's question, Lee Soo Man answered directly with some disappointment.

"Xiao Xu, you should also know that not all of these shares in my hands belong to me, right?"

"Don't think that I am respected by so many people on the outside, but in the eyes of those people, I don't actually have much say."

“They are needed for many things.”

"Uncle has really worked hard."

Listening to Lee Soo Man's complaints and seeing him looking like an old man who could be bullied by everyone, Huang Xu looked very pitiful. He just responded with a simple sentence and then had no other expression.

Although Huang Xu is young and his social experience is not as sufficient as imagined, as a born-again person, he clearly knows the subsequent development of Lee Soo Man and SM company.

In the next few years, Lee Soo-man will show weakness in various ways, and then find the right opportunity to withdraw from SM Entertainment.

Although there are news reports about tax evasion, it will not have any impact on his life.

Even before Huang Xu was reborn, he had seen that Lee Soo Man was already preparing a new company and starting to train trainees.

You just need to wait until the contract expires, then you can make your debut and enter the Korean entertainment industry again.

So Huang Xu didn't show any emotion at all about his complaints just now.

Don't be fooled by what he said, how miserable he was and how he was bullied by those people, but Huang Xu was not moved at all.

As a result, the scene in the private room became a little awkward for a moment.

However, the awkwardness did not last long. After Huang Xu and Lee Soo Man had a formal conversation, Sunny, who had been silent, stood up at this time.

He first poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then spoke to them.

"You guys must be thirsty after drinking so much and talking for so long."

"Have some tea first to moisten your throat!"

"Young people nowadays are really not simple!"

With Sunny as a lubricant, Lee Soo Man also took the opportunity to step down and sighed to Huang Xu.

Afterwards, he stopped taking advantage of his seniority and didn't hide anything, but directly talked about the problems he was facing.

To put it bluntly, the problem he is facing now is very simple.

With the expansion of South Korea's Kpop industry, SM, which was not taken seriously before, is now taken seriously by them.

Naturally, Lee Soo-man's voice was greatly reduced.

In order to further reduce Lee Soo Man's influence in SM company, many of his proposals were rejected.

But now they don't want to give up the huge Chinese market, so they are stuck here and engage in various aspects of the game.

After listening to Lee Soo Man's explanation, Huang Xu also looked embarrassed.

At first, he only wanted to use SM company and Lee Soo-man's fame to pull up the banner and use his influence to his advantage.

This way, you will be more confident when contacting domestic companies.

But in this situation, he didn't know how to solve it. After all, he was just a small restaurant owner in his previous life.

At most, because of rebirth, I have a certain understanding of future development and can plan ahead.

When it comes to ability, he doesn't dare to compare himself with Lee Soo-man, a veteran who has been in the business for a lifetime.

So after listening, Huang Xu fell into deep thought, and the private room fell into silence again.

Even Sunny, who was standing next to them, had no intention of speaking this time. Instead, she silently poured two cups of tea for them.

After a long time, Huang Xu raised his head and looked at Lee Soo Man and asked.

"So uncle, in this situation, what should we do next?"

"Or, is there anything I can do?"

"Of course, I have a plan now and I need you"

. . . . . .

More than half an hour later, a black Land Rover was driving on the streets of Seoul, heading towards Yongsan District.

Inside the car, soft music echoes through the Meridian speakers.

Huang Xu looked at the street outside the window and suddenly asked Sunny a question.

"Sunny, do you think I should help my uncle?"

"Is it because of me that you are in trouble?"

Hearing Huang Xu's question, Sunny, who was concentrating on driving, reached out her hand, held Huang Xu's big hand, and gently exerted force.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about me about this matter. Just follow your own ideas."

"I told you before that although he is my uncle, to be honest, we are not as close as we think."

"People like him care most about profit."

"So whatever decision you make, don't worry about mine, just do what you have to do."

"I understand, but I'm really confused now."

Huang Xu held Sunny's little hand with his backhand, squeezed it gently twice, and then let go.

In Korea, except for a few main roads, many roads are not that wide, so when driving, both hands are more flexible.

After Sunny's hands were back on the steering wheel, he explained to her.

"Now I am really envious of my uncle's fame and connections, and most importantly, his experience."

"But if I follow his idea, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to gain a foothold in Korea after this incident is exposed."

"By that time, I may have no choice but to take you back to China."

"Then go back to China."

"My parents are not here anyway, and my sisters are also in the United States. It doesn't matter where I live."

"It's just that Hal might be a little sad."

"But with you by her side, I believe she won't have any problems."

Sunny looked at Huang Xu's conflicted expression and then said a series of comforting words.

But these words were her true feelings.

Although they have only been together for such a long time, her feelings for Huang Xu have actually undergone a qualitative transformation.

From the beginning, he just felt that Goo Hara had stolen his person, and he felt a little unhappy, so he went ahead and did something like pushing her while drunk.

Now he has become someone I can entrust the rest of my life to.

The scale of this change is beyond anyone's imagination.

Huang Xu naturally felt Sunny's feelings. After thinking about it in his heart, he continued.

"Then let's make a big one."

"As long as we can do this well, then the rest of our lives, and even our descendants, can rest easy as long as they don't start a business and ruin the family."
