Chapter 430: Another Clash Between Sisters
"Ouni, why are you here?"

Krystal Jung looked at her sister sitting in the apartment, her face full of confusion and puzzlement.

She didn't understand why her sister was here.

As the older sister, Jessica Jung was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Taeyeon Kim. When she saw her younger sister appear at the door, she was very flustered.

Fortunately, she had been used to being strong for so many years, and after a brief panic, she directly revealed her identity as her sister.

He stood up and walked in front of the two of them, questioning Krystal Jung.

"Jung Soo-jung, why are you here?"

"Didn't I just warn you to stay away from Huang Xu?"

"I"

Seeing her sister getting angry, Zheng Xiujing, who originally wanted to question her sister, instinctively stepped back a little and retreated directly behind Choi Jinri.

In other words, Choi Jin-ri's height reached an astonishing 1.7 meters, otherwise there would be no way for Krystal Jung, who is half a head taller than her sister, to hide.

At this point, Choi Jin-ri also knew that it was time for her to step forward.

Looking at the angry Jessica Jung, he swallowed carefully and then explained carefully.

"Unnie, I asked Crystal to come here with me."

"Hola called me just now and asked me to come over. She said she had something to tell me."

"Really?"

Looking at Choi Jin-ri in confusion, Jessica Jung had no intention of letting her sister go.

She had just warned her sister a few hours ago to stay away from Huang Xu.

And now she appears here. How can Jessica Jung accept this?

Just as Krystal was looking at her sister, not knowing what to do, Kim Taeyeon next to her couldn't bear it anymore.

"Okay, Xica, stop bullying Crystal and Mari."

"Look at how scared they are. Don't let them cry again."

Having said that, he stood up and walked over to the three people. Then, ignoring Jessica Jung's increasingly darker face, he directly took the hands of the two.

"You said it was Hola who asked you to come here. Did she tell you what it was about?"

"No, unnie, Hola just said that Oppa wanted to see me for something and asked me to come over."

Choi Jin-ri felt less nervous when she saw that Kim Taeyeon was backing them up, and she started explaining to Kim Taeyeon.

After hearing her words, Kim Taeyeon nodded at the two of them.

"Okay, come in and sit down and have a rest."

"Hara hasn't come back yet, and your Hwang Wook oppa will probably be back very late."

"Yes, thank you Taeyeon."

Then, the two of them followed Kim Taeyeon into the apartment and sat on the sofa.

Then, Kim Taeyeon, like the host, brought out water and washed fruits for the two of them and greeted them.

"Come, have some fruit."

"These were bought by your Sunny and I yesterday. The strawberries are especially sweet."

"Yes, thank you, unnie."

Because they were already familiar with the place and there were not many outsiders here, the two of them thanked each other and started to enjoy the food happily.

But when tasting the fruit, Choi Jin-ri felt something was wrong.

As a close friend of Goo Hara, she also has the key to the house and her own room, and can even be said to be half the owner of the apartment.

But now, she was being entertained by Kim Taeyeon.

This made her feel a little strange.

After Kim Taeyeon greeted the two of them warmly, she glanced at Jessica Jung who still had a cold face beside her and shook her head slightly.

Although she didn't know what happened to the Zheng sisters today that made Zheng Xiuyan so sensitive, she had some guesses in her heart.

The probability is that it has something to do with yourself.

So he didn't mention this matter, and then began to look at the two of them with concern and asked.

"Crystal, Truth, your new album is doing really well!"

"I see it was just released and it immediately shot to number one on the list, and now there are four of them at number one, right?"

"Yes, I have already got four first places."

After hearing what Kim Taeyeon said, they both forgot about Jessica Jung who had a gloomy face beside them and smiled brightly.

Their new album "Pink Tape" was released over a year after their last comeback.

The title song of the new album, "Rum Pum Pum Pum" (First Wisdom Teeth), was ranked first on all major music websites as soon as it was released, and won the first place on four music websites in one go.

And the clothes they wore in the MV, namely pleated skirts, are now also setting off a trend in Seoul.

In this case, how could they not be happy?
So, taking this topic as an opportunity, the three of them started chatting enthusiastically.

However, there were only three of them chatting enthusiastically, while Jessica Jung was just watching from the side and did not join in the discussion.

In fact, she is very happy that her sister's group can achieve such results.

And this afternoon, she called her sister over to congratulate her because she knew that her sister was having a day off.

But it turned out that she and Huang Xu had become familiar with each other without her knowing.

This made her very worried and even a little anxious.

After all, Huang Xu has been somewhat demonized in her mind.

She didn't know what kind of magic Huang Xu had that could make Sunny, Kim Taeyeon, and Goo Hara so obsessed with him that they would actually agree to such a ridiculous behavior of the three of them becoming Huang Xu's girlfriends.

However, just when she was still worrying about how to keep her sister away from Huang Xu, she actually came to Huang Xu's apartment a few hours after she warned her.

This action of adding fuel to the fire gave her a headache.

Thinking back to how she and Huang Xu had known each other until now, she muttered something with some confusion.

"What kind of magic do you have that can make so many people revolve around you and be obsessed with you?"

. . . . . . .

Huang Xu had no idea that someone was talking about him in the apartment. At the moment, he was chatting with Jia Yueting in the office of his catering company.

Yes, it was just chatting, and the content of the chat had little to do with their cooperation this time.

As the two bosses of the company, they have made the decision to cooperate and have a preliminary cooperation framework.

Then the remaining details of the cooperation and the specific terms will not require the two of them to come forward.

The following staff will first negotiate the details of the contract based on the cooperation framework between the two of them.

They will only step in when there is something that cannot be pushed forward or cannot be negotiated.

Otherwise, the next time they meet, they will sign a contract.

So Huang Xu is now introducing his main business, which is his current restaurant chain company, to show his strength to Jia Yueting.

Yes, his wealth cannot be compared with Jia Yueting's hundreds of billions.

However, when Jia Yueting heard that Huang Xu's restaurant chain company had more than 400 franchise stores and the company's scale had reached 100 billion won, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

Even the way he looked at Huang Xu changed a little, and he said to Huang Xu with emotion.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Huang's main business is actually in the catering industry, and the agency is just your sideline business!"

"You are such a hero when you are young!" "You are too kind. Compared to you, I am just doing a small thing."

Hearing Jia Yueting's flattery, Huang Xu replied with a smile and then poured him a cup of tea.

After Jia Yueting kowtowed to express his gratitude, he continued to speak to Huang Xu.

"I'm not flattering you, this comes from the bottom of my heart."

"Let's not talk about the fact that you have more than 400 stores, which is already a lot. When I was your age, I was nothing and was still working for a fixed salary."

"It's true, each wave is stronger than the last!"

When he said this, his eyes were full of sincerity, without a trace of falsehood.

In fact, just now, more than half an hour ago, he still looked down on Huang Xu, even a little contemptuous of him.

The visit to SM Entertainment in the afternoon made him mistakenly believe that Huang Xu met Lee Soo Man through Sunny, and thus founded the agency by eating his free lunch.

Now, after Huang Xu's explanation, the thought he just had has completely disappeared.

Although he didn't know the company's gross profit yet, he was still shocked by the fact that this restaurant chain was worth hundreds of millions.

Thinking back to himself, when he was about the same age as Huang Xu, he was still working in the local taxation bureau.

Huang Xu had just graduated from college, but he had already made such a huge fortune.

Seeing the change in Jia Yueting's attitude, Huang Xu raised a smile.

His purpose was to raise his own value and demonstrate his strength. Obviously, this goal has now been achieved.

Then the subsequent cooperation should be much smoother.

However, the subsequent developments were somewhat beyond Huang Xu's expectations.

After sighing, Jia Yueting suddenly looked at Huang Xu curiously.

"Mr. Huang, do you think you can expand your franchise chains into China?"

“They are doing so well abroad, so maybe they can do the same in China?”

"Of course you can, but I'm not sure if you can make money this way in China."

Although it was unclear why Jia Yueting suddenly became interested in the restaurant chain, Huang Xu just shook his head after hearing what he said.

This made Jia Yueting very curious and puzzled.

"Why?"

"Although domestic consumption capacity is not as strong as South Korea, the unit price is not as high as South Korea."

"But China's population base and market size are not comparable to South Korea's, right?"

"Logically speaking, after opening in China, it should make more money than Seoul, right?"

"Logically speaking, what you said is correct."

Looking at the puzzled Jia Yueting, Huang Xu also patiently explained.

"You are right, but you forgot one thing. Compared with Korea, the diversity and richness of domestic food cannot be compared at all."

"Think about it, even in your hometown, Jin Province, which is known as Jin cuisine, there are so many well-known delicacies and famous specialties."

"Look at Korea and see what delicious food there is."

Then Huang Xu started to disparage Korean food.

Of course, what he said was not mindless criticism, but the food variety here is really scarce.

The most important thing is that the cooking methods here are too simple.

There are almost no other means except frying, roasting and stewing.

Of course, this is also because South Korea’s resources are scarce and its area is relatively small.

As Jia Yueting listened to Huang Xu's explanation, he gradually understood the differences in the national conditions of the two countries.

Looking back on his experiences in China and his many years of traveling around the country, he wouldn't dare to call himself a gourmet.

However, he has also tasted a lot of different cuisines and local specialties.

So after listening to it, I nodded in understanding, and somewhat disappointedly.

"Okay, you were thinking of having a surprise this time?"

"Now it seems that things are not as simple as I thought?"

"It's not like there's no chance at all."

Looking at Jia Yueting's disappointed expression, Huang Xu smiled slightly, and then suddenly said something mysteriously.

"If you want to make some investment, I actually have a good project here, you can consider it."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Don't worry, let me keep you in suspense. I'll make a phone call. If possible, I'll take you to visit the site later."

After saying that, after getting Jia Yueting's permission, Huang Xu took out his mobile phone, found He Dongxun's number and called him.

"Brother Dongxun, are there any private rooms in the store tonight?"

. . . . . . .

At the same time, in the apartment on the other side.

Whether it was the three people who were chatting animatedly, or Jessica Jung, who was watching coldly and had a headache, all started rubbing their stomachs.

After several years of idol career, they all had some minor problems with their stomachs.

In addition, they didn't eat much at noon, and now it was six o'clock, and several people felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

"Didn't he say he would be back by dinner time?"

"Maybe he was delayed by something."

Looking at Jessica Jung who was anxious and a little uncomfortable, Kim Taeyeon's face was full of apology.

Who invited Jessica Jung?
So he stood up and asked the three of them.

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"

"You're the only one who's cooking for us?"

Choi Jin-ri and Krystal Jung didn't dare to say anything, but as a teammate, Jessica Jung would not give Kim Taeyeon any face.

"You are a cooking novice who can't even cook instant noodles. How can you cook for us?"

"I think it's better to just order takeout."

Having said that, he stood up and prepared to look for flyers distributed by nearby restaurants to see if there was any food that suits his taste.

Her action immediately inspired Kim Taeyeon to fight.

"Ah~~, that was in the past. I have learned a lot from Huang Xu now. I am no longer the ignorant person I used to be."

"Today I must let you taste my cooking skills."

Then, he held down Jessica Jung who was looking for flyers and went into the kitchen alone.

But after closing the kitchen door, Kim Taeyeon, who had just been so confident, suddenly felt guilty.

“Cooking shouldn’t be that hard!”

"I see that Huang Xu's cooking is quite simple. If Hara learns a little, she can make so many delicious dishes. I should be able to do it too."

"Well, I'm sure I can."
