Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 763: I can only blame the scumbag for being too charming
Hideki Hanyu is having a meal in a private room of a high-end barbecue restaurant in Mapo District, Seoul.

In this damn place called South Korea, there are not many things that you can get used to eating, and barbecue is one of them.

Although this restaurant serves Korean barbecue, its main dish is high-end beef, which is the Korean beef that the Koreans boast about.

In terms of quality, the best grade 1+ Korean beef here is not as good as the top-grade Japanese Wagyu beef.

But in terms of price, it is not inferior to the most expensive Wagyu beef, and it is definitely considered a luxury item in South Korea.

When ordering the dishes, Hanyu Hideki casually glanced at the prices and felt that the cost of today's meal would cost at least half a year's salary for a white-collar worker in Seoul.

Although South Korea's economy is developing rapidly, such prices are not affordable for ordinary people. At least Choi Jin-sil, who came with Hanyu Hideki, and her new friend Lee Mi-yeon, are obviously here for the first time.

After giving the money to Choi Jin-sil at her house, seeing that there was nothing he could do, Hanyu Hideki simply invited Choi Jin-sil out for lunch.

Cui's mother and brother Cui were worried about the box of money, so they chose to go to the bank to deposit the money and did not come along.

Li Meiyan originally wanted to say goodbye, but after being repeatedly persuaded by Choi Jin-sil, she came along.

After the three of them sat down, Choi Jin-sil naturally sat next to Hanyu Hideki and began to serve Hanyu Hideki during his meal with great care.

The girl grilled the meat skillfully, sprinkled seasoning on it, then wrapped the side dishes with perilla leaves and brought it to Hanyu Hideki's mouth.

While Hideki Hanyu was enjoying the barbecue, the girl hurried to fill his glass with juice.

South Korea's table manners are greatly influenced by Japan, so Hanyu Hideki is not surprised by women's humble attitude.

Even Li Meiyan, who was eating across from them, didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Although Hideki Hanyu doesn't mind being served, he always feels that eating meat this way is not satisfying enough.

Therefore, after Choi Jin-sil fed him two bites, he decisively raised his hand to refuse.

"Okay, don't worry about me, I can do it myself.

Since you are here with a friend, you can just sit with her, eat, drink, chat, and do whatever you want."

Choi Jin-sil asked cautiously, "Oppa, do I really not need to help you?"

"Need not……"

Just as Hanyu Hideki opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a knock on the door of the private room.

Then, the voice of assistant Qianye Xun came in, "Teacher Hanyu, Neon is calling, you may need to answer the phone in person."

"I am coming."

Hanyu Hideki stood up and said to Choi Jin-sil and Lee Mi-yeon, "Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

I saw Hideki Hanyu get up and go out to answer the phone.

With permission, Choi Jin-sil took the opportunity to sit next to Lee Mi-yeon.

Choi Jin-sil had just sat down when she heard Lee Mi-yeon whisper to her, "This gentleman seems to respect Choi, senior."

Cui Zhen nodded. "Although he is a great man, he has a gentle personality and there is no pressure when we are together. He is much better than some big names in the industry."

Li Meiyan asked curiously again, "So, Senior Cui is seriously dating this gentleman? The kind that wants to get married in the future?"

As soon as Li Meiyan said this, Cui Zhen immediately showed a surprised look and asked, "Didn't I introduce him to you at home just now? So you still don't know who he is?"

"Ah?" Li Meiyan showed a puzzled expression.

Choi Jin-sil shook her head helplessly, as if she remembered something, stood up, took down an LV handbag hanging on the wall, and took out a magazine from it.

This is a South Korean financial magazine that Choi Jin-sil just bought this morning. The theme of one of the reports is an interpretation of the Forbes World's Billionaires List two months ago.

Choi Jin-sil turned the magazine to the page with the report, pointed to the second-ranked name with a net worth of over 20 billion US dollars and said to Lee Mi-yeon.

"Look at this person, does he look familiar?"

In the report that Choi Jin-sil pointed out, in addition to the ranking and net worth, there was actually a photo attached, which was the photo of Hideki Hanyu wearing a black windbreaker when he was on the list last time.

He has a perfect appearance, a cool temperament, and a standard domineering demeanor that makes people unforgettable.

Li Meiyan saw this photo, and then looked at the ranking and net worth of Hideki Hanyu in the report, as well as a brief introduction to his career.

He immediately exclaimed, "Ou Mo! He is so rich! I seem to have heard of his name before."

Looking at Li Meiyan covering her mouth with a look of shock, it was obvious that she didn't know much about Hanyu Hideki before.

Choi Jin-sil said, "Not only is Hideki rich, he is also a very famous writer.

The day before yesterday, you borrowed my novel to read on the set, and you said you liked the novel very much. The Princess Diaries was written by him. "

Li Meiyan continued to be shocked, "Oh my god! He is so amazing, he looks so young."

"Hideki oppa seems to be only 27 years old, he is indeed very young."

Cui Zhen couldn't help but sigh as she spoke, "So stop talking about my relationship with him. You can't be so naive as to think that I am worthy of such a man."

Looking at the bitterness on Choi Jin-sil's face, Li Meiyan wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but found that those words couldn't even convince her.

Although she is not very old, after going through the entire selection process for Miss Lotte, she has realized that certain gaps in reality cannot be made up by hard work.

Seeing that Li Meiyan didn't say anything, Cui Zhen took the initiative to speak and briefly talked about her past with Hanyu Hideki.

"Hideki Oppa and I..."

The reason why Choi Jin-sil was willing to tell Lee Mi-yeon all this was mainly because she liked Lee Mi-yeon as her "sister" very much.

She participated in the Miss Lotte pageant and although she made it to the national finals, she failed to achieve a very good ranking or gain much popularity.

After signing with the agency under Lotte Group, he basically became an unknown figure and failed to obtain any resources worthy of praise.

The reason why Lee Mi-yeon was able to get a small supporting role in PBS's new drama was not because of her relationship with Lotte, but because PBS TV station cooperated with Dongguk University and went to the school to select summer student actors, and she was unexpectedly selected.

After Li Meiyan joined the team, although she made mistakes due to lack of experience, her attitude was always serious and her hard work was visible to the naked eye.

Although no one cared about the efforts of the small character, he won the favor of Choi Jin-sil, and they became familiar with each other in the crew after a few interactions.

That's why Choi Jin-sil invited Lee Mi-yeon to her home after completing the pilot filming of the new drama.

But Choi Jin-sil didn't expect that Hanyu Hideki would suddenly attack.

When Choi Jin-sil spoke to the end, she did not hide anything but admitted it openly.

"You've seen the money that Hideki Oppa sent me before. Just as you thought, I'm just a woman he keeps.

But he never forced me to do anything I didn't like, nor did he deliberately act superior and trample on my dignity.

He not only improved my family's life, but also gave me many opportunities in my career.

Being with him always makes me feel safe.

Hideki Oppa is really different from other rich people..."

At this moment, Li Meiyan did not notice that Choi Jin-sil looked completely devastated when she spoke.

Because Li Meiyan's attention was all focused on the open magazine and the cool and extraordinary photo of Hanyu Hideki.

So when she heard Choi Jin-sil's last words, she couldn't help but agree, "Of course he's different. How can a rich man be as young and handsome as him?"

Choi Jin-sil heard this and teased with a smile, "Could it be that Mi-yeon also likes Hideki oppa?"

"No way, he...he is Senior Cui's..."

Li Meiyan's pretty face turned slightly red, and she spoke hesitantly, instantly revealing her inner thoughts.

"I've already said that I have nothing to do with Hideki Oppa. If you want to do anything, I won't have any objection and I can even help you.

But you have to be mentally prepared. A man as good as Hideki is not something we can hope for. No matter how hard you try, it will not work out in the end."

"Senior Cui is talking nonsense again. I just think Mr. Hanyu is very handsome." Li Meiyan hurriedly explained.

"Haha, Hideki Oppa is more than just good-looking. Don't you want to resolve the contract with Lotte? If he is willing to help you, this matter can be easily resolved."

Choi Jin-sil's words had just fallen, and before Lee Mi-yeon had time to reply, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Hanyu Hideki, who had been out on a phone call, came back.

"Solve what?"

Hanyu Hideki asked casually, catching Choi Jin-sil's words.

Cui Zhenzhen hurriedly asked with concern, "Hideki Oppa has finished his call, is there anything else urgent?"

Hanyu Hideki waved his hand, "It's just a small matter, I've dealt with it."

The person who called him this time was Mado Ogi, the president of Ogi Logistics.

The reason why Oki Mato called him was to tell him that Oki Logistics had confirmed that it would be listed on the 25th of this month, which is next Monday.

In addition to reporting on the progress of the IPO, the meeting also wanted to ask Hideki Hanyu whether he would attend the listing bell ceremony for the listing of Damu Logistics.

Hideki Hanyu thought about it and finally refused.

Damu Logistics chose to go public at this time simply to take advantage of the last crazy stage of the neon bubble economy and make a lot of development capital.

Damu Logistics has been developing smoothly, and its listing is now a natural outcome. Whether he attends the listing ceremony will not affect the IPO itself.

However, after being interrupted by Choi Jin-sil, Hanyu Hideki forgot about the questions he had after entering the door.

Moreover, he had been busy since morning and was indeed a little hungry. After sitting down, he started to devour the barbecue.

But what puzzled him was that Li Meiyan, who had been quite normal before, now looked at him inexplicably strangely.

……

After a hearty meal, seeing that it was still early, Hanyu Hideki took Choi Jin-sil and Lee Mi-yeon with him to stroll around Jung-gu.

Seoul's important administrative agencies, broadcasting media, financial institutions, shopping centers and high-end hotels are all concentrated in Jung-gu. The three-star Shilla Hotel, where Hideki Hanyu once stayed, is located in Jung-gu.

However, the most familiar to domestic tourists is Myeongdong, the most representative shopping street in Jung-gu.

When the three of them appeared in a department store in central district, Choi Jin-sil and Lee Mi-yeon had not changed at all, but Hanyu Hideki had completely changed his appearance.

He wore sneakers, casual pants, a T-shirt and a flight jacket, sunglasses to cover his face, and a Yankees baseball cap on his head.

The whole person immediately changed from a well-dressed president to a young man pursuing fashion.

She looks so youthful that she seems even younger than Choi Jin-sil and seems to be the same age as Lee Mi-yeon.

The reason for doing this, of course, is to cover up.

He decided to come here not just to hang out or spend money, but to get a real understanding of the current social situation in South Korea.

After all, he will be visiting the Presidential Palace in a few days. In order to take advantage of this opportunity to advance the development of his plan, he must at least make his words meaningful.

Consumption is undoubtedly the behavior that best reflects a society’s cultural development and economic strength.

So while he was taking the two girls shopping, he was also carefully observing everything around him.

For example, now, he is in a department store.

There are many international brands opening stores here, including several brands under Ayi International.

The place where they were was the Dior counter.

However, just as the two girls were enthusiastically choosing things, Hideki Hanyu's attention was attracted by the shop next door.

Because the celebrity endorsement on the billboard outside this store is none other than the "F4" group, which was specially reunited to make money in South Korea.

"You guys choose here first, I'll go take a look next door."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking to Choi Jin-sil and Lee Mi-yeon, he went directly to the next room.

A salesgirl wearing a skirt suit and looking pretty came up to him. She seemed to sense that Hanyu Hideki had an extraordinary temperament, and her attitude was quite enthusiastic.

"Welcome, sir..."

However, before the salesgirl could finish her words, she was "interrupted" by a hundred-dollar bill handed over by Hanyu Hideki.

"Here's my tip for your services. I want to ask you a few questions."

When Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the salesgirl quietly put the money away and asked in a more enthusiastic tone, "Sir, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."

"I want to know, how long has this F4 group been your brand ambassadors?"

The salesgirl replied, “It’s been two months.”

Hanyu Hideki asked again, "Who were the spokespersons before them?"

The salesgirl replied, "He's a male celebrity from Hong Kong."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Has your brand's revenue changed after changing the spokesperson? Has it increased or decreased? The more specific the better."

"This……"

The salesgirl looked embarrassed and seemed to want to refuse, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted again by US dollars handed over by Hanyu Hideki.

The salesgirl who put away the US dollars lowered her voice and answered, "As for our store, after changing the spokesperson, the sales did increase. After all, the TV series starring the new spokesperson is very popular recently, and even I like to watch it. As for how much it increased, as far as I know..."

Soon, Hanyu Hideki got a vague answer from the salesgirl.

Of course, he didn't think about getting any specific data, he just wanted to verify his ideas.

After leaving the store, Hanyu Hideki immediately waved to Chiba Kaoru who was following in the distance and gave her instructions.

“I need you to go to the Yunshang Entertainment branch and ask them to provide data on the impact of their artists’ brand sales in South Korea after serving as spokespersons.

You go now and take full responsibility for this matter, and you must give me the results before Friday."

"Yes, Hanyu-sensei."

After Qianye Xun agreed, he left without stopping.

As for Hideki Hanyu, he turned around and went back to the Dior store to help the two women who were still hesitating make a decision. And just like before, while helping Choi Jin-sil pay the bill, he also paid for Lee Mi-yeon.

At the beginning, Li Meiyan was quite resistant to Hanyu Hideki's approach.

But under Choi Jin-sil's persuasion, and after the total value of the gifts she received became increasingly exaggerated, Li Meiyan's mentality began to become numb, and she unconsciously chose to accept them.

However, having already gained something, Hideki Hanyu did not plan to continue shopping.

After looking at the sky outside, he said to the two girls, "After walking around for so long, I feel a little hungry. I have arranged for the chef to cook. Do you want to come with me to try some Chinese food?"

Faced with Hideki Hanyu's invitation, Choi Jin-sil naturally would not refuse.

Li Meiyan wanted to remain reserved, but when she looked up and saw Hanyu Hideki's face, she nodded involuntarily.

……

Itaewon.

In the newly built mansion of Hanyu Hideki, a carefully prepared Chinese dinner began as Choi Jin-sil and Lee Mi-yeon exclaimed at the mansion.

The three people who had been together for a day were no longer as reserved when chatting with each other as they were at the beginning. Even Li Meiyan dared to ask questions to Hanyu Hideki out of curiosity.

In such a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, this satisfying Chinese dinner ended.

Hanyu Hideki, who left the table first, said, "I'm going to take a bath. If you want to continue chatting, you can go to the terrace. The view there is pretty good."

But Choi Jin-sil said, "It's getting late. I'll take Mi-yeon home first."

"It's already so late. For safety reasons, please ask my bodyguard to drive her back."

After making the arrangements casually, Hanyu Hideki said goodbye to Li Meiyan and left.

Looking at Hanyu Hideki's back, Li Meiyan showed a surprised expression.

Choi Jin-sil, who was standing next to her, saw this and gently poked Lee Mi-yeon with her hand and asked, "Are you surprised?"

Then, Cui Zhenshi leaned close to Li Meiyan's ear and whispered, "Do you think Xiu Shu Oppa gave you something and invited you here because he wanted to do something to you?"

Li Meiyan nodded unconsciously.

“You actually admitted it. It seems like that little girl is really attracted to my Hideki Oppa. Otherwise, why would she dare to come here knowing what would happen?

so……"

Choi Jin-sil's voice became barely audible as she finished speaking.

Looking at Li Meiyan again, she first shook her head shyly, then nodded with a slightly blushing face. It was unknown what she heard from Choi Jin-sil.

……

"I look forward to meeting her every minute.

Silently waiting and never complaining

I long to see her every minute.
......"

Wearing only a bath towel around his waist, exposing his angular upper body and smooth curves, Hideki Hanyu walked into the master bedroom humming the Cantonese version of "First Love".

But when he entered the bedroom, he found that the chandelier in the bedroom was turned off, leaving only a dim and ambiguous bedside lamp.

Under such light, he saw that there was a person lying on the bed.

She had her back to him, covered with a quilt, revealing half of her fair shoulders and a section of her beautiful calf, and it was obvious that she was naked.

"I didn't expect you to take a bath so quickly after sending Miss Li away. It seems you can't wait to accompany me..."

Thinking that it was Choi Jin-sil who was on the bed, Hanyu Hideki took off his bath towel while speaking, crawled into the quilt, and hugged her.

But the next moment, he suddenly retracted his hand.

Because the feel is wrong, this is definitely not Choi Jin-sil.

"Who are you?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"it's me."

Along with the answer, the girl in front of him turned around. Who else could it be but Li Meiyan?

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Didn't you go home? Where's Choi Jin-sil?"

"I'm not leaving."

While Li Meiyan was talking, she actually came over and hugged Hanyu Hideki.

"I stayed here voluntarily. Senior Cui wanted me to have a perfect first time, so he let me wait for you here alone."

After hearing what Li Meiyan said, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but complain in Mandarin, "You Koreans have really weird and unusual brain circuits."

He clearly didn't say anything and didn't hint at anything, so how come this Korean girl just came to him on her own accord?

If anyone is to blame, it's that this scumbag is too charming. He looked so cool when paying the bill and so handsome when driving a Rolls-Royce with one hand, and the girl fell for him accidentally.

"What are you saying, sir?" Li Meiyan obviously didn't understand Mandarin.

The next moment, Hanyu Hideki switched to his barely rudimentary Korean, hugged Li Meiyan and spoke.

"I'm saying, I want to give you a perfect memory."
