Chapter 84: A Chance Encounter

(Thanks to DGDD for the tip, working hard)

On the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Cui Wulong said some auspicious words, and his grandmother took a few big red envelopes from the housekeeper and gave one to Chen Shengmei, Cui Zhengyuan, Cui Siyuan and Cui Zhiyuan. The rich family, the red envelope must be abundant.

Cui Zhengyuan took the red envelope and said with a smile: "Grandma, I am working now, and I am considered to have started a business, so forget about this red envelope."

The chopsticks in grandma's hand knocked on the table, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you are married and have children, and you are also my grandson, just take it obediently for you."

"Then I'll take it"? Cui Zhengyuan was just amused, and the old man smiled. pretended to be inquiring, but his hand quickly put away the red envelope.

Grandma is an old and refined character, where can I see his mind, and I smiled and pointed at him. "Partial birth of your little monkey slippery head, our family is an old and serious character, and I don't know who you learned it from."

Uncle Choi Ki-ho quipped, "Mom, it's not right for you to say that." I'm outside, but I've heard more than one person say that our family is calm and has the demeanor of a successful person."

He is a freelance business operator who has moved around the business world in Korea and has experienced many companies. Therefore, it is more convincing for him to say such things.

Grandma believed it and asked suspiciously, "So, this kid is doing a good job outside?" It's not just fooling around"?

She has seen a lot of gentlemen taking the family's money to hang out outside, spending time in the name of serious work. Even if she knew that her grandson was not like this, she didn't expect him to really do anything.

The son is out, Pan Jingzhen, the happiest mother, can't wait for everyone to know that her child is excellent. "Mom, you don't know yet, do you? Our family is still a thousand-mile horse. Just last month, thanks to his planning, his company made a profit of 5 billion."

Pan Jingzhen is in charge of the affairs of the C.J Group, and no one else in the family pays much attention to it. Therefore, it is not known that Cui Zhengyuan has completed a big deal. For a while, everyone was amazed and praised him for doing a good job.

Fortunately, Cui Zhengyuan is a cautious person, and the more praised by others, the more humble and vigilant he becomes, and he vigorously says that he is not good enough. The knowledge is shallow, and it still needs to learn more and accumulate more.

Seeing that he was not arrogant or impatient, even Cui Wulong, who doesn't often praise people, couldn't help but say a few good words, encouraging him to make persistent efforts and continue to improve.

After that, the conversation at the dinner table began to revolve around what had happened at home this year, and the worries at work were automatically blocked by everyone. This time is mainly festive, and everyone cherishes this rare leisure time.

After lunch, everyone began to give each other New Year's gifts. Others don't say it, Cui Zhengyuan's gifts are all carefully prepared.

Grandpa basically doesn't care about things now, and the old people who are idle at home have nothing to do every day, which is not good for health. Therefore, Cui Zhengyuan prepared a golf suit, hoping that his grandfather could go out more activities.

For grandma is a set of selected LP albums by Shijie's famous tenor Pavarotti. This set of albums was found by Choi Jeong-won at the request of the company's staff from a boutique collection store in Italy. You can't find it on the market outside. For people like Grandma, who have been engaged in art all their lives, this is what they like best. Sure enough, everyone's gift is still Cui Zhengyuan's most suitable for the elderly.

Cui Zhengyuan also presented other people's gifts one by one, all carefully prepared according to everyone's preferences.

A large family gathered together, opened each other's New Year's gifts, said warm words, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers from time to time, the old year slowly passed.

In the afternoon, Cui Zhengyuan did not go anywhere, concentrating on staying with his grandmother and mother, preparing rice cake soup for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with them. These rice cakes are specially sent by the clansmen of Gwangju's hometown, and they are delivered every year. The old man is old, and he misses the taste of his hometown very much. Although there are many people in the family, the rice cake soup must be prepared by grandma, mother and aunt, every year.

Originally, grandma didn't let Cui Zhengyuan help, but according to her words, the eldest grandson had already started a career. It's an adult, and a man can't go into the kitchen.

However, Cui Zhengyuan, who wanted to accompany the old man more, was coquettish and cute, saying that he was not yet an adult and was not a man, so he was able to enter the kitchen.

He didn't go out to play, so Cui Siyuan and Cui Zhiyuan, brothers and sisters, didn't go out, and they all nested in the kitchen with Chen Shengmei to prepare rice cake soup. Not to mention, such a big family, the scene of the elderly, daughters-in-law, and children gathering together makes grandma particularly happy.

The Choi family follows the tradition that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is all Korean-style cuisine. The bland and tasteless dishes made Cui Zhengyuan just eat a few bites hastily and took a form. Although it has been seventeen years since he was reborn in Korea, he still can't get used to the food.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, grandpa and grandma sat down in the main seat of the hall. From Choi Ki Miserable and Choi Ki Ho brothers down, the whole family made a big gift to the two old people to congratulate the New Year, which was the official end of the New Year's ceremony.

The old man was short of energy, so he went to rest early.

The juniors, led by Chen Shengmei and Choi Jung-won, set out collectively to join the lively play army in Seoul.

If the picture is lively, the first choice must be Myeongdong. At this time of year, countless crowds flock to this famous shopping street in Asia. There is everything to eat, play and sell here.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Myeongdong is decorated as a city that never sleeps. Tonight, all the businesses here will be open all night in order to keep customers busy. According to authoritative statistics, every year during the New Year, the turnover of Myeongdong merchants increases by more than 40%.

Cui Zhengyuan pulled Cui Siyuan, Chen Shengmei took care of Cui Zhiyuan, and the four of them drilled around in the flow of people. Try tapas here and street performers there. Occasionally, when it's cold, I find a shop, regardless of 3721, and get into it. There is no need to buy anything, just walk around and look at it and be satisfied.

Among the four, Chen Shengmei stays in Boston all year round. This industrial city is vast and sparsely populated, and where can you see such a crowd of people, you have long been attracted by the bustling and lively street scene.

Cui Zhengyuan used to stay at home, and after work, he also traveled back and forth to various work places, so he didn't have enough time to go shopping.

Not to mention Cui Siyuan and Cui Zhiyuan, the two children, they want to go shopping. It's a pity that the age is too young, and the family is not at ease at all.

So, the four of them ran around stupidly like dirt buns that had never seen the market.

Cui Zhengyuan, who was feeling the lights in the light, was suddenly dragged forward by a strong force. When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was his cousin Cui Siyuan who was pulling him. Looking ahead, Chen Shengmei had already run away with Cui Zhiyuan.

"Let's go, brother, those people in front of you are so powerful, let's go and have a look." Without waiting for Cui Zhengyuan to come back to his senses, Cui Siyuan added another force and dragged him into a place where a crowd gathered.

Crawling through the crowd, he finally squeezed to the front. Cui Zhengyuan found out that what his cousin wanted to bring him to see turned out to be a street performance. In the venue, a group of teenagers are dancing dazzling street dance under the passionate music.

I have to say that these teenagers are really good at dancing, and they are professionally trained at first glance, which is obviously different from those street paths. Infected by them, the crowd involuntarily writhed along with their dance, coupled with the noisy cheering, the scene was also wonderful.

Looking around again, Chen Shengmei and her cousins also improvised and twisted.

Chen Shengmei, who is from the United States, gave full play to the openness of Europeans and Americans, and has never heard the screams. Cui Zhengyuan even heard her shouting several times in a row, "baby, iloveyou"! The bluffed Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly stayed away a little, pretending not to know this madman.

In fact, today is the New Year, which is the most festive day of the year. On this day, everyone is very high, who cares about other people's eyes.

At this time, the teenager in the audience finished dancing, and the one who led the dance took off his face towel, and his face was still flushed after strenuous exercise. However, apparently his spirits were even more excited, and with heavy breathing, he shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Next, we invite our beauties to perform for everyone."

With his shout, a group of young girls walked up and waved their jiashi in the middle of the field.

Cui Zhengyuan in the crowd widened his eyes and looked at this group of young boys and girls. If his eyes are okay, the boy who shouted just now should be Eunhyuk, and in this group of girls, he also saw Kwon Yoo-ri and Li Ju-li. Well, who would have thought that they would be seen on the streets of Myeongdong during the Chinese New Year.

The girls ended the show with a cheerful dance tune, after which a handsome boy came up with a guitar in his hand. Looking at the way he looks, he is about to perform and sing.

The cheers of the crowd slowly calmed down, waiting for his performance.

Choi Jung-won pinched his chin, okay, this is another acquaintance, Kim Jun-so. I should have thought that he and Eunhyuk were classmates and close friends, and they would definitely be inseparable.

Junxiu sings a lyrical English song, and his talented voice perfectly shows the artistic conception of the song in front of the audience. For a moment, all of them were immersed in the romantic fantasy depicted in the song. Even Cui Zhengyuan also calmed down and savored Junxiu's singing skills.

He didn't notice that among the girls over there, there was one person who was looking at him with bright eyes, and this person was Juli.

She is a quiet person, and after the performance, she did not join in the fun with others, but sat quietly to drink water and rest. She was bored, but she felt a great sense of accomplishment when she saw so many people coming to cheer them on the field and cheering for their performances. The cheering faces looked so cute at this time. The little girl who coveted this feeling looked at it one by one.

Suddenly, she exclaimed in her heart. I didn't expect to meet the executive Oba here. Although they were far away and the lights were dim, she would not be mistaken about that handsome face no matter what.

The little girl with a budding spring heart always pays special attention to the opposite sex she likes. Therefore, every characteristic of Choi Jung-won is deeply imprinted in her mind.
