Chapter XXIII Meetings
When it was close to evening, Han Junyi suddenly called, saying that there was a temporary appointment in the evening to let Li Huaiyu go to meet Chen Shuo by himself, and he had already agreed with the other party, in a barbecue restaurant near Hongdae.
Li Huaiyu looked at the time, grabbed his coat and walked out of the company. More than half an hour later, it was dark and the night breeze was cool, and he stepped on the flashing neon at the door and walked into the restaurant.
Pushing open the door of the box, I found that there was already someone sitting on the seat facing the door, it was a young man who looked about the same age as Jin Yicheng, with a flat head, a Chinese face, and although the lines of his facial features were very soft, he gave people a very strong feeling.
He raised his head, grinned, and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Li Huaiyu? β
"I am." Li Huaiyu took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, and sat down opposite him, "You are Chinese, so we can talk in Chinese." "He uses Chinese.
Chen Shuo was obviously stunned, and muttered to himself: "I haven't heard Chinese for a long time, a little emotional..." Then, he pursed his lips and said, "Okay, then let's speak Chinese." Let me introduce myself first, my name is Chen Shuo, and I am a Chinese Shanghi person. β
This time it was Li Huaiyu's turn to be stunned: "Are you a Shanghi person?" β
"What, is there a problem?"
Li Huaiyu smiled: "Li Huaiyu, mixed Chinese and Korean race, his mother is a Chinese Shanghi person." β
Chen Shuo was stunned again, and then laughed: "I only knew that you were of mixed Chinese and Korean descent before, but I didn't think that your mother was also a Shanghi person, very good, very good!" β
"What drink?"
Chen Shuo was stunned for the third time: "Drink? Don't you drink? β
"Brother Yi Cheng said you don't drink."
"I couldn't find anyone to drink with, so I said I wouldn't drink every time I had a drink or two." Chen Shuo shook his head with a smile, "The truth is just the opposite. I don't just drink. And he can be considered an alcoholic. β
"How many bottles of soju do you?"
Chen Shuo stretched out his right index finger and shook it at Li Huaiyu: "For a drunkard." Especially for drunkards from China, Korean soju can't be considered wine at all, so I brought my own drink..."After speaking, he took out two bottles of wine from under the table that didn't look high-grade, "Don't you think it's inconspicuous?" I asked someone to make it from a Chinese winery, and the taste is absolutely superb! β
"I'm not an alcoholic, so I don't know how to taste wine, for me. Wine is not good or bad. β
"Good wine is the same as a good woman, the more you taste it, the more you taste it, the more you taste it." Chen Shuo opened the cap of the bottle and helped Li Huaiyu fill a glass by himself, and a rich aroma of wine instantly spread.
As soon as I took a bite, a hot sensation began to spread from the taste buds, down the esophagus, and finally reached the stomach, and a warmth suddenly appeared in the chest and intestines. Even if you don't know how to drink. Li Huaiyu also thinks that this taste is very mellow, and it is many times more fragrant than the soju on the night food stalls on the streets of South Korea.
"Pretty good!"
"I said it was good wine. Do you smoke or not? β
"No."
Chen Shuo smiled, lit a cigarette and took a puff: "It's a good thing not to smoke, because most women don't like the smell of cigarettes." β
"Including Park Hyo-min?"
"Hyomin?" Chen Shuo was stunned a lot tonight, so many times that he couldn't believe it, "Why did you talk about her?" β
"Aren't you friends with her? It's a very pro-kind. β
Chen Shuo stared at Li Huaiyu for a long time, sighed and said, "I thought you would be different from others, but unfortunately I still thought wrong..."
Li Huaiyu was puzzled: "What do you say?" Aren't you friends with Park Hyo-min? β
"Hyo-min and I are friends, but not very close." Chen Shuo said, "The person who is really close to me is Enjing, and she is my woman." β
Li Huaiyu is still puzzled, judging from the news he got from Park In-jung, Chen Shuo's woman should be Park Hyo-min, why would he deny it himself? Is he lying to himself?
Chen Shuo spat out the smoke ring and said lightly: "When most people watch a movie or a novel, they are always impressed by the first person who appears, and if it is a man, then they will naturally think that he is the male protagonist." In the same way, they will subconsciously treat the first woman who appears next to the male protagonist as the female number one. You must have heard about my relationship with Hyomin from a trainee at CCM, so you think Hyomin is my woman, right? β
Li Huaiyu smiled bitterly and said: "There are not many Chinese who appear around me, less than ten, I always thought that Chinese were very honest and would not use their friends as shields, but unfortunately... I seem to be so naΓ―ve..."
Chen Shuo blinked: "What's the explanation?" β
"Han Enjing has filmed TV series, she is a well-known artist, and now she has debuted in the form of a combination, and she has naturally received a lot of attention, if you often appear by her side, after a long time, she will definitely be suspected by the media..."
Without waiting for Li Huaiyu to finish speaking, Chen Shuo took over: "If I appear as Xiaomin's friend, then other people's eyes will not focus on me and Enjing, even if someone doubts, they will only suspect me and Xiaomin, and will not involve Enjing." Brother Jun Yi is right, you are really a smart person, Kim Kwang-so may not understand my intentions..."
"Kim Kwang-so?" Li Huaiyu said disdainfully, "It's not that I look down on him, I'm just a little suspicious of Li Zaixian's vision, how can I let this kind of person be the head of a company!" β
Chen Shuo shook his head and said: "Kim Kwang-so was arranged by Han Seung-ho, Lee Jae-hyun is CJ's boss after all, no matter how much he does it personally, it is impossible to care about such a trivial matter." β
"I see."
"Don't say CCM." Chen Shuo took a sip of wine and said, "Before today, did you know about Star Investment? Or do you know about Star Investment? β
"I know, but I don't know." Li Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "I only heard about Star Investment from Brother Yicheng, but I didn't investigate deeply, I only knew that its boss was very mysterious, and even Naver didn't have his information, I didn't expect it to be you, a Chinese!" β
"South Korea is a very contradictory country, the people are both inferior and arrogant, so they are very xenophobic, and it is very difficult for a foreigner to succeed in South Korea, so I choose to stay behind the scenes and let the locals take charge of the overall situation." Chen Shuo said lightly, "I'm just telling the truth, I hope you don't be surprised." β
"You're telling the truth." Li Huaiyu smiled and said, "I'm not a pure Korean, so I agree with you." β
"Star Investment is all my belongings, I founded this company with all my might, I just wanted to eat, but I didn't expect the results in the past few years to be good." Chen Shuo continued, "Baek Changsu knows, right? Although that guy's character is a little worse, he has a wide range of connections, and if it weren't for his help, I wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in South Korea so easily, so I would do everything possible to get him out of prison, but it's a pity..."
Li Huaiyu knew what he wanted to say: "Some people are like this, they forget the pain after the scars, they always feel that they are full-fledged and don't need to rely on the protection of others anymore, so they want to go it alone!" β
"He's kind of my friend, so... Let him go. β
"Speaking of which, Baek Chang-so can be regarded as helping me, as long as he doesn't mess with me in the future, it doesn't matter."
"I know, it's TVXQ, right?" Chen Shuo smiled, "I was the person Brother Junyi was looking for, but I couldn't do it personally, so I asked Bai Changzhu to do it, but I didn't expect him to do it quite beautifully." β
"Baek Chang-so is just an introduction, whether he appears or not, TVXQ will break up, it's only a matter of time."
"I've heard Brother Junyi talk about you, and most of them can understand it, but I don't understand one thing very well, so I really want to ask you."
"Which point?"
Chen Shuo looked at the wine glass in front of him and said softly: "If you change to me, even if you use all the resources in your hands, you will force Kim Kwang-so to submit and let your woman debut, why don't you do that?" As far as I know, among the several trainees at CCM, your woman is not the only one, Li Zhixian, right? β
Li Huaiyu smiled bitterly and said, "If I had done that, would we still be friends?" β
"Why not?" Chen Shuo said strangely, "These are two different things, besides, you didn't know my storage zΓ i at the beginning!" β
"Actually, I don't know why I didn't do that in the first place." Li Huaiyu sighed and said, "Maybe I was in a good mood at the time, or maybe it was some other reason, in short, if I missed it, I missed it." Besides, Sister Jihyun and Renjing have another way out, so I'm not worried..."
"What about Park Ji-yeon?" Chen Shuo suddenly laughed, and smiled very weirdly, "When you sent her back to CCM that day, I happened to be there, what do you think a fifteen or sixteen little girl can hide in front of me?" She didn't say anything, but I still have a pair of eyes, and I'm seeing very well..." (To be continued......)
