Chapter 415 What is Huang Xu Oppa busy with?
"what?"
"She called me, what's the matter?"
Looking at the phone call that had just been hung up, Huang Xu's face was full of confusion and puzzlement.
He had just finished talking to Sunny on the phone when he suddenly received a call from Jessica Jung, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.
At that time, he thought that Jessica Jung wanted to talk to him about something.
As a result, during the phone call, Jessica Jung talked about this and that for a long time, but in the end she didn't say if there was anything she needed help with.
Even after Huang Xu hung up the phone, he didn't know why Zheng Xiuyan called.
"You can't be just idle and want to chat with me."
But as soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Huang Xu.
"No, no, she is not that kind of person."
Although Huang Xu didn't spend much time with Jessica Jung, he still had a certain understanding of her.
For someone like her, she would not waste her time on useless people.
Unless she needs something from me.
Thinking of this, Huang Xu suddenly remembered what he had promised Jessica Jung.
"Is she here to urge me to let her become a designer?"
"Well, it's very possible."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't call me out of the blue, care about me, and chat with me."
The more Huang Xu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he couldn't help but start to have a headache.
Before, because of Sunny and on impulse, I pulled her along and fooled her.
Finally, I succeeded in feeding her the pie I had drawn.
It’s just that things have changed a lot now, and many of the things that were promised before are indeed a bit difficult to do now.
At least before I can finalize the collaboration with Lee Soo Man, it will be a little difficult to do.
Just when Huang Xu was racking his brains over how to realize the big plan he had drawn and how to explain it to Jessica Jung, the cell phone he had just put next to him rang again.
"What? What's going on today? Why are you coming to me one after another?"
Looking at the name displayed on the phone, Huang Xu's eyes, which had just regained clarity, became blurred again.
You know, although this person is much closer to me than Jessica Jung, she seldom contacts me on weekdays.
Not to mention that Sunny and Jessica Jung called right after that.
However, despite his doubts, Huang Xu quickly answered the phone and greeted him in a gentle tone.
"Good morning, Taeyeon. How come you have time to call me today?"
"Huang Xu, I'm sorry for something. I want to say sorry to you."
"???"
Hearing Kim Taeyeon's guilty tone on the phone, Huang Xu's eyes became even more confused.
"What's the matter that makes you feel so guilty?"
"I'm sorry, you asked me to watch over Sunny and protect her, but I didn't do my job and let her go to the drinking party and get drunk."
Kim Taeyeon told Huang Xu what happened last night in a guilty tone.
Although Huang Xu had just heard Sunny's story, he did not show it, but listened patiently to Kim Taeyeon's story.
However, it was precisely because of this behavior that Kim Taeyeon, who was already very guilty, became even more embarrassed.
After briefly recounting what happened last night, he said to Huang Xu.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't know they could drink so much."
"There were ten of us there last night, and the ones who could drink more were Kyuhyun and Ryeowook, and then there was Sunny and Yuri, and even Hyomin and Kyuli."
"I think with the six of them here, we shouldn't have any problems facing any opponent."
"But."
"But they were all drunk, and the people on the other side were fine, right?"
"Yes, but how did you know that?"
After hearing Huang Xu's words, Kim Taeyeon nodded at first, but then her face was full of confusion.
I didn't seem to say anything about the other party's reaction just now!
Huang Xu heard Kim Taeyeon's puzzled tone on the phone, so he simply repeated to Kim Taeyeon what he had just said to Sunny.
This solved Kim Taeyeon's doubts just now.
But then, there was resentment towards Sunny.
I just went to see her, but she didn't reveal anything.
But this is just a complaint to Sunny. I still feel guilty towards Huang Xu.
After all, she did not do a good job in what Huang Xu asked her to do.
It took Huang Xu several minutes to calm Kim Taeyeon down.
What Huang Xu didn't expect was that after he calmed the other person down, her IQ returned to normal.
Then he asked himself a decisive question.
"Huang Xu, who were you talking to just now?"
"I just met Sunny, which means your call with her ended a long time ago."
"So what are you busy with?"
"Ah? Nothing?"
After hearing Kim Taeyeon's question, Huang Xu became nervous immediately.
Although he didn't do anything to offend them just now, he just made a simple phone call to Jessica Jung.
But Huang Xu still had the feeling that he was caught having an affair.
Fortunately, Huang Xu reacted quickly and realized that nothing had happened between him and Jessica Jung, he just promised her something before.
There was nothing shameful, so he just said it directly to Kim Taeyeon.
"Just now Xika called me and chatted with me for a while."
"Sika wants to chat with you?"
"What does she want from you?"
Hearing Huang Xu and Jessica Jung chatting, Kim Taeyeon's sensitive nerves were immediately touched, and she asked Huang Xu in an interrogative manner.
Huang Xu naturally felt Kim Taeyeon's nervousness and a smile appeared on his face.
"It seems that I am not as simple as a massage tool as you say!"
But he didn't say this out loud, instead he spoke to Kim Taeyeon in confusion.
"I don't know what she wants to talk to me about now."
"Just now on the phone, she talked about this and that for a long time, but she didn't tell me her purpose."
"Really?"
If Huang Xu only knew a little about Jessica Jung, then Kim Taeyeon, who had been her competitor since before her debut and then been her teammate for several years, knew Jessica Jung quite well.
So after hearing Huang Xu's words, the first thing he did was to not believe it.
Based on her understanding of Jessica Jung, she would not engage in such meaningless activities.
It's just that while she knows Jessica Jung, she also has a deep understanding of Huang Xu. If he really has something going on with Jessica Jung, he wouldn't hide it from her.
So she and Huang Xu also fell into confusion.
The two chatted for more than twenty minutes, but until they hung up the phone, they still didn't come to any conclusion.
However, the conversation between the two was not without results. At least they had agreed to wait until she and the group finished recording the show, and Huang Xu had finished dealing with the show and company matters.
They will play together in China for two more days.
The last time she came to China, she didn't have much fun due to various reasons.
Now that the relationship has come to this point, she must have a good time for a few days and deepen her understanding of China again.
After making an agreement with Kim Taeyeon, Huang Xu did not hesitate. After going back to wash up, he rushed to the company to start supervising the work.
With someone watching over them at all times and providing timely feedback, efficiency should be higher.
And time passed quickly under Huang Xu's supervision. Two days passed.
Two days later in the afternoon, Huang Xu looked at the final draft of the first episode and nodded to the five post-production staff.
Looking at the dark circles under their eyes caused by working overtime, Huang Xu spoke to them with concern.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days. Go home early today and have a good rest."
"I'll give you a day off tomorrow. Come back to work the day after tomorrow after you've rested well."
"Then the second show will just follow the requirements of the first show."
"Of course, if you want to work overtime, the overtime pay will be the same as these days."
“Thank you PD Kim.”
“PD Kim is so high!”
For the five people in the post-production department, as workers, isn’t the ultimate goal to make money?
It is a blessing for them to have a leader like Huang Xu who will give generous rewards for their efforts.
So even though Huang Xu was chasing after him for the past two or three days, he was frantically demanding to speed up the progress.
However, several people still expressed their gratitude to Huang Xu.
Then I happily carried my backpack, left work early and went home to rest.
Huang Xu looked at their backs as they left, and did not leave work immediately. Instead, he took out his hard drive and copied down the results of the past few days.
After that, he said something to Kim Tae-woo and returned to the apartment.
After arriving at the apartment, Huang Xu was very curious when he saw Goo Hara busy in the kitchen.
"Hola, what are you doing?"
"Oh, Oppa, you're back?"
Goo Hara was concentrating on cooking in the kitchen and did not hear the sound of the door opening. She was also startled by Huang Xu's sudden voice behind her.
However, after seeing that it was Huang Xu who came back, he excitedly pulled Huang Xu and began to introduce the delicious food he had made.
"Oppa, look, this is the cooked and drunken seafood I made according to your recipe. How do you like it?"
“Is there anything that needs improvement?”
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Huang Xu looked at Goo Hara's excited expression and temporarily put aside his doubts. He happily tasted the food made by Goo Hara.
After simply tasting a few bites, he gave high praise to Goo Hara.
"Hola, these you make are better than mine. There's no need to improve them at all."
"I even feel that you have surpassed me now."
"No, Oppa, please stop praising me."
"I have a very clear understanding of my own level."
Although I am very happy that Huang Xu has such high praise for the food I cook.
But Goo Hara understood that these were all Huang Xu's deliberate compliments. How could her cooking skills reach or even exceed Huang Xu's level?
You have to know that I have only been studying for a few days, how can I compare with a professional like Huang Xu who has been immersed in it for so long?
Huang Xu looked at Goo Hara and gently scratched her nose.
"How can that be a compliment? I'm just stating a fact."
"What you made tastes really good, it's really no worse than mine."
"Really?"
Goo Hara was very happy to hear that Huang Xu still insisted on saying this and his words were very sincere instead of just flattering herself.
"Do I really have a great talent in cooking?"
"Of course, you have to believe in yourself, you are the best Hola!"
"Yeah, I'm the best!"
After being praised by Huang Xu, Goo Hara began to proceed with the subsequent steps with full confidence, and even drove Huang Xu out of the kitchen.
Huang Xu looked at Goo Hara and smiled with relief.
"I told you that you needed praise and encouragement. Look, isn't your confidence much greater now?"
Then he sat on the dining chair outside the kitchen and watched Goo Hara busy in the kitchen.
A few nights ago, he discovered that Goo Hara still lacked confidence and could easily become extreme because of the affirmation or care from outsiders.
He then formulated the current praise plan.
The purpose is to help Goo Hara build self-confidence and make up for the mental illness caused by her family upbringing.
And the action just now was the first step for him to do this.
But he didn't praise just for the sake of praising. The cooked and drunken sauce made by Goo Hara really tasted very good.
After all, the recipe Huang Xu gave her had already listed all the seasonings in precise grams. As long as she made it according to this ratio, the taste would definitely not be bad.
As long as there is a delicious sauce, the dish is 90% successful.
As for the rest, as long as the ingredients are fresh, the taste of the cooked and drunken series will definitely not be bad.
Who says that this kind of cooking can be done just by cooking the ingredients and then soaking them in sauce?
The taste has been determined, and the final difference is the texture.
The next day, after Goo Hara sent Huang Xu to the airport early, she drove to Choi Jin-ri's apartment with the hangover food she had prepared yesterday.
"Zhen Li, these are the dishes I made yesterday, you can take them with you to eat today!"
"Wow, thank you so much, Hal."
"You're really good to me."
Choi Jin-ri looked at the food box that Goo Hara brought over and showed a surprised expression.
In order to express his gratitude, he even gave Goo Hara a kiss to show his feelings.
But she did not succeed and was pushed away by Goo Hara.
Then, looking at Choi Jinri, who looked increasingly tired after not seeing her for two days, Goo Hara briefly told her what she had been busy with over the past two days.
It also explained why he hadn't sent her any food or medicinal meals in the past two days.
Choi Jin-ri didn't care about these things, but was sincerely happy for Goo Hara.
But then I asked out of curiosity.
"Hara, what has Huang Xu Oppa been busy with recently?"
"I haven't seen him since I felt better!"
