Chapter 431

"Hala, it's great to have you back."

"Otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

When Kim Taeyeon saw Goo Hara who suddenly came back, she looked like she was finally saved.

Goo Hara, who rushed back from the company after receiving Sunny's call, was also shocked when she saw Kim Taeyeon's exaggerated performance.

"Ouni, you're exaggerating a bit. Isn't it just cooking a meal?"

"There's something Oppa has prepared in the fridge. Can we just heat it up?"

Obviously, after learning for a period of time, Goo Hara did not feel that there was anything difficult about this operation.

However, she was facing Kim Taeyeon, who had trouble cooking instant noodles.

After hearing what Goo Hara said, Kim Taeyeon's face showed shame.

Just now, she thought the same thing and was full of confidence in helping Choi Jin-ri and the others prepare dinner.

But the outcome of the matter was beyond her expectations.

Huang Xu's operation seemed very simple at first, but after she actually got the hang of it, she found that things were not as simple as she had imagined.

In short, the final result was that she was in a mess and the kitchen was in a mess.

However, for the sake of her own face, she couldn't go out and ask Jessica Jung and the others for help.

Just when she couldn't bear it anymore and was about to ask Jessica Jung and the others for help, Goo Hara appeared at the kitchen door like a hero.

So, without saying anything else, she said hello to Choi Jin-ri and the Zheng sisters, then pulled Goo Hara into the kitchen.

Afterwards, under Goo Hara's command, the two worked together to clean up the messy kitchen and started preparing dinner.

In the end, it only took more than half an hour and a sumptuous dinner was already on the table.

Not only were there the stewed beef that Huang Xu had prepared in advance, but there were also some cold dish platters and two stir-fried vegetarian dishes.

It can be said that this is a nutritious dinner with a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Kim Taeyeon also looked at Jessica Jung proudly.

"Xica, I just said I can do it."

"Look at these, I made them all."

"Oh~~ Just you~?"

Jessica Jung looked at the boastful Kim Taeyeon and ruthlessly revealed the truth of the matter.

"Are you sure you could have done this if Hal hadn't come back to help?"

"If it weren't for her, you would still be in there in a mess, not knowing how to end it?"

"Ashi~, stop looking down on others."

When Kim Taeyeon heard what Jessica Jung said, she immediately wanted to get angry and refute.

But after seeing Jessica Jung's eyes, he finally held back and muttered something unwillingly.

"Even if Hal helped, I did all this."

"If you don't believe me, ask Hola."

"Well, when I came back, Taeyeon was almost done."

"I just helped her clean up the mess and gave her a hand."

Seeing the two unnies bickering, how could Goo Hara ruin their conversation? She naturally just continued to talk along the lines of Kim Taeyeon.

When Kim Taeyeon heard that Goo Hara supported her, she first gave Goo Hara a grateful look, and then looked at Jessica Jung with a proud look.

It was as if to say, see, Hola said it was all my credit.

However, Jessica Jung simply ignored Kim Taeyeon and turned to look at Goo Hara.

"Hola, why did you come back so suddenly?"

"Didn't you say you were going to practice for the new album at the company and wouldn't be back until very late?"

"Sunny said Oppa had something to do and would be back a little later. She was a little worried about you guys, so she asked me to come back early."

Goo Hara, who was being stared at by Jessica Jung and Choi Jin-ri next to her, first glanced at Kim Taeyeon carefully, and then explained in a low voice.

After hearing her explanation, several people had different reactions.

Kim Taeyeon lowered her head in shame, Choi Jinri and Krystal Jung covered their mouths and laughed, while Jessica Jung was extremely excited.

What does it mean to be worried? That’s why I let Goo Hara come back early.

To put it bluntly, isn't it just that they are worried that Kim Taeyeon's cooking skills are not up to par and that they are afraid that they will have nothing to eat?
There is no need to say more about what this means.

Just when Jessica Jung was excitedly preparing to speak and launch a counterattack against Taeyeon Kim, she was interrupted by Goo Hara.

She pointed at the vegetarian dish in front of Jessica Jung and made a direct invitation to her.

"Xi Kaoni, please try this garlic greens dish."

"Oppa prepared all the other dishes in advance, but I made these two vegetables myself. Can you try them and see how they taste?"

"Well, let me try it."

Seeing that Goo Hara was so enthusiastic, Jessica Jung couldn't refuse either. She could only let Kim Taeyeon go for the time being and started to taste it according to Goo Hara's wishes.

As the crisp and tender vegetables took their bites, an expression of surprise appeared on Jessica Jung's face.

She originally thought that even if Goo Hara learned cooking from Huang Xu, she should be a novice, or just a beginner.

Unexpectedly, this dish actually brought her quite a surprise.

The crispy and tender vegetables have no astringency at all, but rather a unique fragrance and even a hint of sweetness.

It can be said that it is particularly suited to her taste.

So with a surprised expression and a slightly exaggerated tone, he praised Goo Hara.

"It's delicious, Hola, your cooking skills are really great."

"How come your food is so delicious?"

"How did you do that?"

"Hey, unnie, just eat as much as you like."

Seeing that Jessica Jung was giving her face, Goo Hara followed suit and started helping Jessica Jung pick up food.

Then he began to talk about how this vegetable was made.

At this time, seeing that Jessica Jung was being entangled by Goo Hara and they started to exchange cooking skills with each other, and Kim Taeyeon had no time to look for her, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the two youngest members who were watching the show nearby and said.

"Okay, both of you stop watching the fun and eat quickly."

"Since your Huang Xu Oppa will not be back for a while, let's eat quickly and play some games later."

Having said that, she suddenly looked at Goo Hara next to her and suggested.

"By the way, Hola, how about we play mahjong later?"

"It's so hard to get so many people here, and we have so much free time. It would be such a waste if we don't play mahjong."

Although Kim Taeyeon has only played mahjong a few times, she already feels addicted to the game.

Compared to the mobile games she played before, mahjong was obviously more interesting. Now that everything was in place, how could she let it go?

Goo Hara became addicted to mahjong earlier than Kim Taeyeon, so how could she object to Kim Taeyeon's invitation to play mahjong?

But she glanced at the four people around her and said with some worry.

"But there are five of us here. Who will fight and who won't?"

"How about we implement a rotation system, and whoever loses will step down?"

"Don't bother me, Holaoni. I won't fight. I'll just watch from the side."

"Or I'll go exercise for a while. I've been promoting running trips for a while, and I haven't exercised properly for a long time."

Krystal Jung looked at the worried Goo Hara and simply raised her hand to indicate that she didn't want to play and she didn't need to worry about herself.

For her, these board games have little appeal.

And compared to this, she, whose parents are both athletes, prefers to do sports.

Otherwise, how do you think she got her famous abdominal muscles?
As for the remaining few people, after seeing that Krystal was really not interested, they had no intention of persuading her anymore and instead started swearing at each other.

Although mahjong is a casual chess and card game, it is also quite competitive, so several people made tough remarks in advance to strengthen their momentum.

But during this period, Choi Jin-ri seemed a little absent-minded.

First of all, she wasn't really that interested in mahjong, she was just playing with a few people.

Secondly, she found Kim Taeyeon's reaction today a little strange, which made her make some bad guesses.

"Could it be that Taeyeon-unnie has also become Huang Xu-oppa's girlfriend?"

As for why she had such a guess, it was because Kim Taeyeon's behavior today was a little abnormal, or unreasonable.

Whether it was asking them to sit down, getting them fruit drinks, cooking for them, or now talking about playing mahjong.

She was completely standing in the perspective of the hostess and didn't seem like a guest at all.

That's why she had this idea and was always paying attention to Kim Taeyeon's every move.

On the other side, Huang Xu and Sunny had no idea what was happening in the apartment, nor did they know that Kim Taeyeon's identity was about to be exposed again.

He now brought Jia Yueting and Sunny, who acted as their driver, to a relatively prosperous commercial street in Mapo District.

Slowing down the car, the three of them slowly arrived at the door of a familiar store.

At this time, Park Geun-sik, the store manager, was already waiting for them here.

He first directed the vehicle to park in a parking space that had been reserved long ago. Without waiting for the vehicle to stop, he stepped forward and helped Huang Xu open the door.

"Xiao Xu, I'm sorry. Haha, something happened and delayed me for a while. You may need to wait a while before I can come. Let me pick you up first."

"It's okay, Geun-sik. I just came here to take my friends out for dinner. There's no need to bother Dong-hoon."

Looking at the enthusiastic Park Geun-sik, Huang Xu also greeted him warmly and briefly introduced Jia Yueting who got off the car behind him.

Then he looked at the store entrance where people had already started lining up at just seven o'clock and asked.

"By the way, there are people queuing up now, are there any private rooms inside?"

"Don't worry, if others don't come, how can there be no one when you come?"

"Otherwise, haha, you'll fire me!"

After hearing Huang Xu's words, Park Geun-sik smiled and joked with Huang Xu.

"Don't worry, your private room is ready. It's the one facing the stage."

Afterwards, with full service awareness, he led the three people into the store.

Throughout the whole process, his attitude towards the three people could be described as respectful, even a bit flattering.

As the manager of a music restaurant and bar, he wouldn't say he's a very good person, but his emotional intelligence is pretty good.

Since Huang Xu called in advance to reserve a private room and said he wanted to entertain his friends, he must help Huang Xu to save face.

Huang Xu was naturally very happy to see his performance, and he also said this in his heart.

"I didn't expect that my unintentional help before would have such an effect now."

The first is Park Geun-sik’s attitude, which can be said to be a plus for him. Not to say that it will make Jia Yueting look at him with admiration, but it can also gain him a certain amount of face.

Moreover, when he called Ha Dongxun just now, he was only asking him to help reserve a private room, and he didn't think of asking him to come over to keep him company.

But if he could come, it would be a pleasant surprise.

Being able to invite celebrities to accompany him at any time is also a way for him to prove his connections.

Although he is just a comedian, it doesn't mean much to Jia Yueting.

Jia Yueting, who had hardly spoken since getting off the car, was now staring at everything around him.

Just now, when he was at Huang Xu's company, he was attracted by Huang Xu's words.

Now that he has arrived at his destination, he naturally has to take a good look and inspect it thoroughly.

"Well, the store is doing good business. It's only seven o'clock now, but the house is full of people, and there are people queuing at the door. It's quite popular."

"Also, the decoration here is quite unique and stylish."

"But why is there a stage in the middle of the store?"

"Is there going to be a performance here?"

"."

Looking at everything around him, his brain started working rapidly.

Although he is not a practitioner in the catering industry, as a billionaire boss, he can see a lot of things by analogy.

A few minutes later, after Park Geun-sik served a few side dishes and a few bottles of wine and left, Huang Xu looked at Jia Yueting, who was still observing around and hadn't said a word, and asked.

"Boss Jia, how about this restaurant?"

"Business is good. The seats are full by 7 o'clock. There are already people queuing at the door. This business is good!"

In response to Huang Xu's question, Jia Yueting had no intention of belittling him, but instead gave an objective evaluation.

After he finished his evaluation, he stopped talking and just stared at Huang Xu, waiting for him to help him decipher the solution.

When Huang Xu saw this situation, he no longer concealed it and began to explain it to the outsiders.

"This shop is a music restaurant and bar, or a music pub, that I opened with a few friends."

“The main thing is to combine music, bars and restaurants into one store.”

"You've seen the stage, right? Some people will be coming here to perform soon. They're usually underground bands or some third- and fourth-tier idol artists."

"Occasionally, my friends would invite some well-known stars to perform."

"As for business, you should have seen it, so I don't need to say more."

"Anyway, since we opened in February, business has basically been going well in the past six months."

"There should be quite a few customers who want to join us now."

Huang Xu first introduced the general situation of the store, then looked at Jia Yueting with a smile and asked.

"Mr. Jia, what do you think of this business?"
