Chapter 417 Cheerful Puppy Song Yuqi (2/4)

It was almost midnight on May 05th.

After finishing work, Jiang Zhaohuan received a message from Wang Jiaer and prepared to go back home to take a shower and change clothes before setting off to the Chinese restaurant which was only a few hundred meters away from his home.

He simply wore a grey T-shirt and a black baseball cap and headed towards his destination.

There is no excessive disguise because there is no need for it.

It's not a date, it's just a gathering of Chinese people.

But just when Jiang Zhaohuan arrived at the door of the Chinese restaurant, he received a call from Wang Jiaer.

When the call was connected, he couldn't help but say:
"Brother, I'm already at the door, don't rush me."

"No, I have a work call here and can't go. To make amends, I'll pay for today's meal. You guys can eat as much as you want!"

Wang Jiaer felt quite embarrassed to say this, after all, he was the organizer of the party.

Now that he, the organizer of the group, has run away, he feels a bit sorry for Zhaohuan.

Jiang Zhaohuan's eyes widened when he heard this. He was not the talkative type.

Besides, apart from Jackson Wang, he really didn't know the other three members from CUBE at the dinner and they had never had any interaction with each other.

He held his forehead helplessly, feeling like he had been cheated.

"I know bro, just wait till you file for bankruptcy."

"Hahahaha, I just got an advertising endorsement. You have the guts to make me bankrupt!"

Jiang Zhaohuan rolled his eyes and hung up the phone speechlessly.

He had originally wanted to have a midnight snack, but now he was thinking about going home and lying in bed.

But thinking about what he had already agreed to, it would be a bit inappropriate for both him and Wang Jiaer to run away, so he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

This was not the first time that Jiang Zhaohuan came to this Chinese restaurant. He chatted with the owner for a few minutes and then found a suitable private room.

He told Wanna One's Lai Guanlin that he would be arriving at the store and asked him to come up directly.

Jiang Zhaohuan was sitting in his seat and felt a little bored, so he took out his mobile phone to send a Kakao message to his girlfriend and report his situation to her.

[Kang Zhaohuan]: I was tricked by Jiaerge. He invited me to dinner with three Chinese people from CUBE, but he ran away for something.

After seeing the message, Pei Zhuxuan, who was applying a facial mask in the dormitory, raised her hand and pressed the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up.

She found herself to be a bit sinister, and when she saw Do Hwan being in trouble, she inexplicably wanted to laugh.

However, she thought about the artists of CUBE company in her mind and frowned.

Is it Lai Guanlin from Wanna One?
If I remember correctly, Seulgi seemed to have complained about him to me.

It seems that once during a backstage activity, I saw him spitting and smoking.

[Bae Joo-hyun]: Is he the Chinese from CUBE? The one from Wanna One?
[Kang Cho-hwan]: You actually knew that?
[Bae Joo-hyun]: Please, I’m an idol~ Don’t you know that this is not normal?
Even if you have never promoted a song together, you have at least seen the stage together at the end of the year.

[Kang Do Hwan]: That’s true. Besides him, there are two girls who just debuted, but I don’t know their names yet.

【Bae Joo-hyun】: Oh? Girl? (Rabbit squinting.GIF)

[Kang Do Hwan]: Is Miss Rabbit jealous?
[Bae Joo-hyun]: No! I'm just a little curious.

Kang Jo-hwan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his girlfriend's reply. He held his chin and thought about whether to tease her further.

Unexpectedly, the door of the box was pushed open without even knocking.

Jiang Zhaohuan, who was originally showing his big white teeth, quickly restrained his expression. He calmly looked up at the tall boy who came in. It should be Lai Guanlin from Taiwan.

But what surprised him was that there was only one girl following him in.

Although Jiang Zhaohuan was a little dissatisfied with Lai Guanlin's impolite behavior, he still maintained a faint smile, stood up and welcomed him:
"You are Lai Guanlin, right? Didn't you say you have two junior sisters?"

Lai Guanlin was quite surprised to see that Jiang Zhaohuan was the only one in the box. He nodded and said:
"Right, isn't Jackson-senpai here?"

"He couldn't come because of something urgent, so where is the other junior sister?" Song Yuqi, who had long woolly curly hair, noticed that there was something wrong with Jiang Zhaohuan's expression. She was very perceptive and guessed that it was Lai Guanlin's rude behavior that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

In addition to the previous question, Lai Guanlin simply ignored it.

She has always been a person who understands the ways of the world. She has had part-time experience in the service industry in the Peninsula, and she said with a bright smile:
"Hello, Dohwan-sempai, I'm Song Yuqi from (G)I-DLE. Shuhua was supposed to come, but she had a stomachache and had to rest at home."

Jiang Zhaohuan nodded politely to Song Yuqi. He felt that the younger generation was better at dealing with people.

He smiled and moved the seat next to him, motioning Song Yuqi to sit next to him, as a way of snubbing the impolite Lai Guanlin.

After the three of them sat down, the menu began to be circulated.

Perhaps because he noticed his senior's attitude towards him, Lai Guanlin also restrained his temper a little.

The sudden popularity of Wanna One did make him a little inflated.

After all, he is still a young man. Among the young and promising people, how many of them can resist being cocky?

After learning that Song Yuqi was from Beijing, Jiang Zhaohuan simply ordered a portion of roast duck, presumably because she hadn't eaten it for a while.

And through Bae Joo-hyun's popular science, he also knew that after an idol debuts, he has to repay the company for the expenses it spent on her training.

Even the cost of MV shooting, renting recording studio, and other miscellaneous expenses are all borne by the idols.

Therefore, Song Yuqi, who has just debuted for less than a month, definitely has not received her first salary yet.

As a senior, Jiang Zhaohuan naturally cannot be stingy when it comes to treating people to dinner.

Jiang Zhaohuan, who is not a talkative type, was quite glad that Song Yuqi had a cheerful personality and maintained a good atmosphere at the dinner table.

Song Yuqi has bright eyes. Although she is still young, her face still shows childishness.

She is not a particularly pretty type, but this curly hairstyle brings out her vitality.

"I've been following my senior's drama recently, Seo Woo Jin is so handsome in the drama~"

Jiang Zhaohuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He asked half-jokingly:
"According to you, I only look better in dramas?"

Song Yuqi's eyes widened and she shook her head hurriedly, causing the language system to become confused. She was originally speaking Chinese, but now suddenly switched to Korean.

"Ani, of course that's not the case. Why do you think so, senior?"

"It's just a joke, don't be nervous. I don't have the airs of a senior. There's no need to call me senior."

"Hey, how about I call you Brother Zhaohuan?"

When Jiang Zhaohuan went to the bathroom just now, he searched for the nicknames that fans gave to Song Yuqi.

Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but smile and said:

"No wonder your fans like to call you Yuqi's brother, do you really want to be my brother?"

"I have such an outstanding brother, so what if I become a younger brother again, haha!"

After the dinner, Jiang Zhaohuan finally gained a female brother.

Before leaving, the two exchanged KakaoTalk accounts.

As for Lai Guanlin? He didn't ask for trouble. He knew he couldn't get in touch with this connection, so he chose to give up.

Jiang Zhaohuan put on his cap and waited until Song Yuqi finished calling her assistant before speaking:

"Be careful on your way back, and we'll see you someday."

"Haha, okay~Come on, Xu Yuzhenxi!"

Jiang Zhaohuan looked at the energetic back and shook his head helplessly.

With this kind of personality, he probably doesn't even need any help from others to get in touch with people, as he can do very well in the circle.

After a brief thought, Jiang Zhaohuan took out his cell phone and sent a message to He Jiong, asking him to help see if there were any good variety shows that he could arrange for her to be in.
