Chapter 124: Let's Celebrate Christmas
The company is all on holiday, Christmas is tomorrow, there are three days of holiday, and only Ji Mingzhe's company in the whole South Korea will have three days off during Christmas, and everyone in the company is smiling under his large bonus. And the supermarket shopping card, an indispensable benefit every year, makes the "Lejia" supermarket in Mingzhe Hall overcrowded, most of whom are employees of the company, rushing to purchase various ingredients and gifts for their families before the holiday.
There are now nearly 9,000 people in the group's subordinate enterprises, and the number of employees on SBS TV alone is nearly half. On the afternoon of the holiday, they were all crazy in the Mingzhe Museum, the uniform made many ordinary people, recognize that they are employees of Chi Mingzhe's enterprises, in the sight of their generous shots, shopping as if they don't want money, so that some people are curious about the benefits and treatment of Chi Mingzhe's company, some boring people on the Internet, held a year-end welfare survey of major enterprises, and finally Chi Mingzhe's enterprises, beating Samsung, Hyundai and other well-known Korean companies, won the most "conscience enterprise" in South Korea title, which also has a lot of influence on the choice of future employment for students in Korean universities. When Ji Mingzhe learned about it, he laughed it off.
At 5 o'clock in the evening, Ji Myung-cheol and the five of them are strolling along Myeongdong Street with Jun Ji-hyun and the five of them, and the promotions of various shops make the streets crowd one after another, and the trees on both sides of the road are also full of colorful lights, and the brilliant lights and the signboards lit up by the shops complement each other.
Christmas trees can be found everywhere in shops and malls, and from time to time a Santa Claus or two walks by, handing out free gifts, most of them greeting cards, to passers-by. Jun Ji-hyun and the others were all tightly covered, walking around Ji Mingzhe's sides, pointing at the items displayed in the shop windows on the street from time to time, and a store specializing in gadgets caught their attention.
Ji Mingzhe, wearing a hat and flat glasses, stood on the side of the street, they had already entered the store, and he had to wait on the side of the street for these uninterested.
"Oba!"
"Huh?"
Kim Tae-hee stood behind him and raised his hand to pat the snowflakes on his shoulder.
"Done shopping?"
"There's nothing I want, they're still shopping!"
Ji Myung-cheol straightened Tae-hee's hat and helped her get the mask right, and Tae-hee's beautiful face was tightly covered. Then Chi Mingzhe put his hands around her waist, and the two hugged each other under the gaze of many pedestrians on the street.
Several people in the store who were carefully selecting accessories had already seen Ji Myung-cheol and Kim Tae-hee's actions outside through the window, and the women's thoughts were different, and there was a hint of vinegar in their eyes, Lee Hyo-ri walked out, raised his foot and kicked Ji Myung-cheol's leg.
"Oh, it's the street, be careful! Don't be recognized!"
Ji Mingzhe smiled and stopped her easily, and the three of them hugged each other, and Lee Hyo-ri was satisfied.
Pedestrians passing by the street now pay more attention, and their hearts say who is this man? Holding two women in his arms is such a blessing! How can this make us single people embarrassed.
Jun Ji-hyun hurriedly walked out of the store with Son Ye-jin and Han Ga-in, urging them to leave quickly.
"Oba is really, running on the street to show affection!"
Jun Ji-hyun patted Ji Myung-cheol, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.
"Oh Mo! My Jihyun is jealous?"
"Where?"
Jun Ji-hyun's argument is weak.
"Come, hug Oba too!"
Ji Mingzhe ignored Jun Ji-hyun's objections, picked her up and spun around, and the others laughed.
"Are you all hungry?"
Ji Mingzhe asked, and several of them nodded.
"Oba, what are we going to eat?"
Han Jiaren asked, holding his arm.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Barbecue!"
Son Ye-jin's mention was not objected to.
"Then come with me, I know there's a good barbecue restaurant!"
Chi Mingzhe took the lead and walked across the street, walking down an alley 500 meters ahead, Li Xiaoli looked at his back as he walked into the alley, his eyes were a little confused, if she remembered correctly, there was a barbecue restaurant in this alley, or she told SΓΉ Chi Mingzhe that this shop was good.
It's still that restaurant, business is still good, and when the five of Ji Mingzhe and Lee Hyo-ri entered the restaurant, many diners looked at them.
"Guests, please take a seat!
They chose the innermost seat, and there were a lot of diners today, and the people who could come here were the old customers, the gray-haired proprietress who served them tea.
"I wonder what the guests want to eat?"
"Auntie, we're going to barbecue! Give me the menu!"
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Kim Tae-hee and Jun Ji-hyun looked at this small barbecue restaurant curiously, it seemed that it had just been renovated, and there were not few customers, so they were a little nervous, for fear that it would be troublesome to be recognized by the diners, only Lee Hyo-ri sat very calmly and took off his hat and mask casually.
"Okay! There's nothing to be nervous about, take off your coat! β
Ji Mingzhe also took off his hat and glasses.
"Guests...... Oh Mo ......."
The exclamation of the proprietress made the diners in the store look at it. And so there was an uproar.
"Is it Lee Hyo-ri? Jun Ji-hyun?......"
"Oh my God! it's Kim Tae-hee, Son Ye-jin and Han Ga-in!"
"Who is the man...... Ji Mingzhe?"
The diners exclaimed in twos and threes, and they all exchanged words and discussions.
"Auntie, give me the menu!"
Ji Mingzhe took the menu from the stunned proprietress and lowered his head to order.
The customers in the store were still nice and didn't bother them, but many of them looked down and didn't know what they were doing.
The proprietress and the waiter began to serve the dishes on a tray, with plates of pork belly and Korean beef on the table, followed by a variety of sauces, shiso leaves, kimchi, and finally a large portion of ginseng and chicken soup.
"Oba, will you order too much? We can't finish all of them. β
Son Ye-jin looked at the stacked dining table and was surprised.
"That's his habit, no matter how many people there are, he will order a big table of dishes, and slowly you will get used to it. β
Jun Ji-hyun began to "popularize science" for Son Ye-jin, and several others have long been surprised.
Ji Mingzhe put the meat on the plate one by one, then picked up five small bowls, served them chicken soup, and then put it in front of them one by one.
"Thank you, Oba!"
The beautiful woman took a sip of chicken soup from the bowl and took a sip, and Lee Hyo-ri also took a sip.
"It tastes good, but it's still not as good as Oba's chicken soup. β
After Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Tae-hee tasted the chicken soup, they commented, and Lee Hyo-ri also nodded in agreement.
"Hey, Oba can make chicken soup?"
Son Ye-jin asked in surprise.
"Well, in a few days, Jeju Island will bring chicken, and I'll make another soup, so you can taste it then." β
Ji Mingzhe explained.
The meat in the baking tray was basically cooked, and several women looked at Ji Myung-cheol who was holding a tong, and he was ready to divide the meat, first sandwiching it to Son Ye-jin and Lee Hyo-ri, who were close to him.
"The above meat is ranked in no particular order!"
After Ji Mingzhe finished speaking, he divided the meat again.
"Poof...... Ahem!"
Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Tae-hee almost squirted out the soup they had drunk in their mouths, but they were still choked by his words, and Han Ga-jin hurriedly handed them tissues.
"Oba!"
Both of them gave him a blank look, but Ji Mingzhe smiled.
They were eating and talking very quietly, so they didn't cause much reaction from the diners.
"Well, it tastes good. β
He stuffed his mouth with roast meat and chewed vigorously.
The number of people in the store began to increase, but Chi Mingzhe and they didn't care, but many of the customers who came were young people, and soon the store was full, but there were still many people waiting outside, Chi Mingzhe looked outside, only to find that many people were looking at them, and then they knew that these diners were coming for their own people.
"Let's get some more food and we'll leave quickly! There are more and more people, and they are coming for us. β
After saying that, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, and then got up to settle the bill.
When they got dressed and were about to leave, these diners couldn't sit still, just saw Chi Mingzhe they were eating, out of politeness, these people didn't come to bother, just sent text messages to their partners and friends, so there were more and more people behind, and now Chi Mingzhe They were leaving, so they came over to ask for autographs. If there is one to sign, there will be a second, and everyone rushes to be the first.
People outside the store also began to use it inside, and soon the barbecue restaurant was surrounded by water, and there were many people in the alley, most of them were fans, they shouted Ji Mingzhe and Lee Hyori their names, and crowded into the store, Ji Mingzhe They were blocked, and there were even several people with cameras who kept taking pictures here, looking like reporters, Ji Mingzhe hurriedly squeezed in front of them, stretched his hand away, and turned back to tell SΓΉ Jun Ji-hyun that they were following closely, it was really crowded here, and he knew that it was a bad dish.
Fortunately, at this time, seven or eight big men were squeezed in from the entrance of the alley, these were Chi Mingzhe's bodyguards, who had been guarding the entrance of the alley, and when they saw that something was wrong here, they hurried over to rescue them.
"Oba ...... Don't go ......."
Lee Hyo-ri ...... I love you......"
"Jun Ji Hyun ......"
Many people at the scene shouted in their mouths, and held up the notebook and pen in their hands, but at this time, they still cared about the signature, and they all desperately squeezed forward, wanting to see Ji Mingzhe's "fairy face", Ji Mingzhe also blamed himself for being careless, and he should have withdrawn in advance, but fortunately, the bodyguards had squeezed in front of them and held up space for them, Han Jiaren's little face was frightened, and so was Son Yezhen. The bodyguard used the guΓ² headset intercom, said something loudly, and then struggled to push the crowd away from both sides, opening a way for Chi Mingzhe and the others.
Finally squeezed out of the alley, many reporters were already waiting there, seeing Ji Myung-cheol, Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Tae-hee and they came out, the camera in their hands crackled and snapped, and the reporter asked loudly, many pedestrians on the street were also watching, thinking that something was wrong, and later I heard that a star was blocked in the alley, and Ji Myung-cheol and Lee Hyo-ri were also inside, this time it was lively, and the flow of people on the entire Myeongdong Street gathered at this alley.
A Mercedes-Benz RV drove over quickly, the bodyguards in the car hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for them, Ji Myung-cheol asked Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Hyo-ri, Son Ye-jin and Han Ga-jin to get into the car quickly, and he helped the last Kim Tae-hee to get into the car, but the reporters squeezed around the car relentlessly, and finally the driver slammed the accelerator to let them dodge and make way for them.
Chi Mingzhe in the car shook his head and smiled bitterly, I don't know who laughed first, everyone laughed along.
"Oh no, we seem to have left our hats, scarves and masks in the store,"
Han Jiaren's reminder reminded them that they lost something, but fortunately it was not a valuable thing.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I returned to Yanguiyuan, and everyone gathered in Ji Myung-cheol's house, but Lee Hyo-ri's mahjong addiction attacked, and finally she fought with Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Tae-hee, and Han Ga-in, and Ji Myung-cheol and Son Ye-jin watched them fight for a while, and then went upstairs to rest together.
