The next morning.

After sending Liu Zhimin, who was a little reluctant, back to the dormitory, Wu Zhilong rushed directly to the SM headquarters building.

Although he handed over the rest of the album's arrangement and other work to his teacher Li Xiuman and others, it was obviously impossible for him to pick on it.

Whether it is the follow-up arrangement and production, or the plot story and shooting of the MV, etc., the participation of the protagonist is indispensable.

But making an album is obviously not something that can be completed overnight, let alone as the first solo album, it must require more careful preparation.

So for half a day, Wu Zhilong soaked in the company's recording studio and conference room, busy with various follow-up matters of album production.

At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Zhilong, who finally finished his busy work for the time being, came to a Chinese restaurant not far from SM Company, which is also located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District.

The restaurant is not big, and the decoration of the store outside looks quite ordinary.

But no one could have imagined that this little-known Chinese restaurant was a private meeting place for many Celestial Dynasty migrant workers in Korea.

"Hello boss!"

"Zhilong, you're here!"

As soon as I entered the door, the local waitress and the store manager immediately greeted each other.

"Well," Wu Zhilong smiled at the girls, then looked at the store manager and said, "How is the situation in the store recently?" No problem, right? ”

That's right, this store is his.

Or strictly speaking, he is the big boss, and then a group of friends and fellow villagers jointly funded the Chinese restaurant.

The restaurant does look ordinary from the outside, but it's also a deliberate effect.

Inside, it's a cave.

In addition to the lobby, there are several private rooms of various sizes.

The cuisine is even more diverse.

Here you can not only eat domestic Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and other well-known cuisines, but also eat hot pot shabu and so on.

However, the passenger flow has not been large, and it has not made any money for more than a year, at most it is to break even.

But it doesn't matter.

Because at the beginning, this shop was a Chinese restaurant opened by Wu Zhilong who was not used to eating kimchi and other things, and he was too troublesome to go out to find something to eat, and he was too lazy to do it.

By the way, Lu Yan, Huang Zitao, Zhang Yixing and others, including Song Qian, Wang Jiaer, Zhuang Dingxin, Xu Minghao and other fellow villagers in the South Korean migrant group, funded this restaurant together.

Located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, just a few blocks away from SM Cheongdam headquarters, and close to Oh Ji Ryong's luxury apartment.

At that time, the total investment was about two million, and Wu Zhilong alone accounted for 70%, and the rest of Lu Yan, Huang Zitao and other people who were not bad for money also contributed about 5% each.

Of course, in addition to satisfying your appetite, the other main reason to open this store is to find a private and safe meeting place.

After all, it's really inconvenient to be a star in the idol industry.

"It's okay, thanks to you recently, there are a lot more hometown customers in the store," the store manager Wang Tao said with a smile.

A man in his thirties is also a Korean worker, full of tendon meat, in addition to liking to cook, he is fitness.

was the original owner of this store, but when he couldn't run it anymore, he happened to be bumped into by Wu Zhilong.

Then in the end, Wu Zhilong directly took down the store, and at the same time let Wang Tao, a chef with very good skills in several cuisines such as Sichuan cuisine, stay and continue to be the store manager.

And occasionally when there are special guests in the store, such as him, he acts as the head chef.

"That's pretty good, but you still have to pay attention to it," Wu Zhilong reminded with a smile.

He knew what Wang Tao was talking about, it was nothing more than the reason why he, Lu Yan and others had become famous recently, and there were many fans or domestic passers-by and tourists who knew the news.

It's not a big deal, after all, it's a store, and it's not really that secret.

After a brief chat, Wu Zhilong directly pushed open a small door on the side of the corridor and walked in.

The main passage naturally leads to the lobby of the serious store, and this small door is convenient for their special people.

Those who know this are basically acquaintances, and even simply small shareholders and bosses.

Pushing open the door, Wu Zhilong soon came to the door of one of the private rooms inside.

It's not big, but it can accommodate about four or five people.

But at this time, there were already people waiting inside.

And listening to the movement, it seems that there is more than one?

Wu Zhilong, who came to the door, listened to the conversation of the women inside, and was suddenly a little surprised.

It's a person who is making an appointment, why do you still bring someone over?

With doubts, Wu Zhilong knocked lightly on the door and then pushed the door in.

In the next second, he looked at the two people inside with a confused expression.

"Sister Qian, what is this?"

Wu Zhilong closed the door casually, and then looked at the extra Cui Xueli in front of him and couldn't help but wonder a little.

"As soon as she heard that I was coming to see you, she insisted on following me, and she wouldn't let me say anything to you......"

Song Qian smiled bitterly, helplessly and dotingly looked at Shirley who was wearing delicate makeup next to her, staring at Wu Zhilong with a pair of big eyes.

"My question, I'll ...... next time"

"It's okay, I'm just a little surprised."

Wu Zhilong smiled and sat down opposite the two of them.

The private room is not big, it is similar to the normal four-seater of a hot pot restaurant.

Of course, there is definitely more than one private room in the store, and there are large private rooms for four, six, eight, or even more than ten people.

In order to facilitate the team building party, Wu Zhilong took down the store next to the original store, and then renovated it.

"See you again!" Wu Zhilong switched from Chinese to Korean, smiled at Shirley and said hello, then looked at Song Qian and asked, "Did you order the food?" ”

"Not yet, I was going to order it first, but Shirley has to wait for you to come and order it together."

Song Qian spoke Chinese that Shirley did not understand, while her eyes were still wandering back and forth between Shirley and Wu Zhilong.

It's like he's grasping for some kind of adultery.

Feeling Song Qian's strange and subtle eyes, Wu Zhilong suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

He and Shirley are really innocent, and they don't even know each other at all.

And Shirley's strange appearance at this time is probably mostly because he happened to help him before......

"Okay, let's order first."

Wu Zhilong didn't explain anything, but called the waiter, and then handed the menu directly to Shirley.

"Thank you!"

Shirley took the menu and looked at Wu Zhilong for a while, and then her beautiful eyes moved from his body to the bilingual menu in his hand.

Seeing such a special scene, Song Qian, who had been paying attention to the situation of the two, couldn't help but show an intriguing smile again.

looked at Wu Zhilong's eyes as if to say: I haven't explained honestly, I have already seen through everything.

Wu Zhilong, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders innocently.
