Han Yunxiu listened for a while and saw that none of the family members had reached the point, so she had to interrupt again and asked: "Taixi, can you tell us who that man is?"
This question hits home.
Cheng's father, Cheng's mother and Cheng Yuzhong both quieted down and looked at Cheng Taixi.
Facing the inquiring eyes of his parents, brother and sister-in-law, Cheng Taixi shook his head decisively: "I can't say, he, his identity is somewhat special."
Everyone looked at each other.
After a moment, Cheng's father obviously had a wrong idea and said worriedly: "Taixi, you can't be a politician, this is not acceptable. Lu Taiyu was just sentenced to 17 years at the beginning of this year. You... a watch costs 120,000 US dollars, it is definitely not What a good person..." As Cheng's father said this, he became more and more frightened. He was about to acquiesce, and then he straightened up again: "Daughter, you must come back to Busan with us. You can't get involved with politicians, you will be in bad luck."
Cheng Taixi felt his mother's hand tightening on his, and quickly denied: "Dad, he is not a politician, he is not Korean."
"Are you from Hong Kong?" Han Yunxiu said immediately: "Taixi, you said you were going to Hong Kong for vacation a few days ago?"
The news that Sung Tae Hee was secretly arrested in October and soon released was unknown to his family. However, the Quan Zhengting team was later invited to go to Hong Kong for vacation and rest, which they told their families.
Hearing what his sister-in-law said, Cheng Taixi hesitated again for a moment, and finally said: "He is not a Hong Konger. Dad, please sit down first. He is not a politician, he is an American and a businessman."
The family suddenly didn't know how to react.
Although Koreans have strong national sentiment, they really don’t have much confidence in the United States, their de facto suzerainty. Worshiping foreigners is also very common in South Korea.
Han Yunxiu even complained a little.
Americans, how come there are so many beautiful girls in Korea who fall in love with my 36-year-old sister-in-law and give her such expensive gifts
Of course, you can't say these words, otherwise you will probably be slapped by your father-in-law.
Then the mother-in-law spoke again: "Taixi, don't lie to your parents. It's really not your father who said that, um, a politician?"
"Mom, it's not true," Cheng Taixi assured: "I actually just came back from the United States yesterday, and I brought gifts. I originally wanted to share them with everyone after lunch."
Cheng's father sat cross-legged at the dining table again, sighed, and thought to himself: "It's okay if you're not a politician, it's okay if you're not a politician. Taixi, we are just ordinary people with no background. Don't fall into those quagmires." inside."
Cheng Taixi quickly promised and then signaled everyone to start eating again.
Seeing the family pick up the dishes again, Han Yunxiu hesitated. Didn't he just say that he would help the couple find jobs? She looked at her husband and was glared at. She realized that it was better not to talk about this matter in front of her parents-in-law and to find an opportunity to talk about it behind her back. However, Han Yunxiu was a little worried. How could an American find a decent job for them in South Korea
Isn't it just for passing the time
If this is the case, the couple might as well wait a little longer. Maybe after this IMF negotiation, both the husband's Ssangyong and his own Jinro will be able to operate again.
It would be best to return to a familiar position with good pay.
Thinking of this, Han Yunxiu felt that it would be better for her sister-in-law to find a politician, although South Korea's political circles have been unstable in recent years, with various ups and downs. At least, as long as you are in power, you will be prosperous.
After lunch, Cheng Taixi began to distribute the gifts brought back from the United States to everyone, including his eldest brother and his family in Busan.
Although the gifts were carefully selected, Han Yunxiu was not satisfied.
Everything my sister-in-law wears costs tens of thousands of dollars, and the gifts she brings to the family are certainly not cheap, but the difference is too obvious.
It was impossible for Cheng Taixi to explain.
She bought these gifts with the remuneration she received from work some time ago. She did not spend the card given by Chen Qing or the 20,000 US dollars in monthly living expenses she received from the man after that night. Naturally, they could not be too extravagant.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was coveting the Patek Philippe on her wrist, Cheng Taixi hesitated a little and planned to give it away. She actually didn't care much about it. If my sister-in-law hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have known that a watch could be so valuable. Han Yunxiu was not embarrassed, but as soon as she took it, before she could put it on her hand, her mother-in-law discovered it. While snatching it back, she scolded her daughter-in-law, and then put it on her daughter herself, giving her another half-reprimand. He warned half-heartedly.
Then I accompanied my daughter throughout the entire process to count the things that belong to whom.
After finishing the order, when she learned that her daughter had to go to work, Cheng's mother directly kicked Cheng Taixi out of the house, which made Han Yunxiu depressed. The father-in-law and mother-in-law are both smart people. Obviously, they sent their daughter away because they didn't want her to have another chance to talk about asking Cheng Taixi to help find a job.
This made Han Yunxiu couldn't help but reflect. If he had known that this would happen, he should have been warmer to the old couple over the years, and now they wouldn't be so clearly drawn, as if she was treated as an outsider. As for the past, a big reason why it was like that was actually because the Han family belonged to locals in Seoul, and Busan, in the eyes of proud Seoulites, was not much different from the countryside.
…
Cheng Taixi actually didn't have much work. She came back this time and took the initiative, hoping to help. She also realized that being a mere vase by a man's side would not last long. However, Chen Qing, who had a huge team at her disposal, did not need her help at all. Even with her identity as a Simon woman, she was not qualified to touch many of the things Chen Qing did.
After leaving his small apartment in Sinsa-dong, Sung Tae-hee rushed to Itaewon on the other side of the river.
Itaewon and the adjacent Hannam-dong are the top luxury residential areas in Seoul. Because they are backed by Namsan Mountain in the center of Seoul and face the Han River, they have a standard layout of mountains and rivers. They have the reputation of "the back of the gods".
In the early years, it was difficult for Koreans to squeeze in here. During the Japanese colonial period, this area was where Japanese military camps were stationed. After World War II, it was taken over by the Americans. Until now, many foreign embassies and overseas companies are stationed here. The situation did not begin to change until South Korea's economic rise. Currently, many chaebol families such as Samsung and Hyundai live here.
Simon's property on a higher ground in Itaewon is newly built. He started purchasing land two years ago and finally got a 3,100-square-meter plot. He knocked it all down and rebuilt it. After more than a year of work, he finally completed two floors above ground and two floors underground. Single house. Because of the construction, we were almost sued by our neighbors who were also chaebols. Until it became clear who the owner behind the property was, the matter was settled.
Although the single-family house with an area of more than 3,000 square meters is one of the largest properties in this area, enough to rank in the top five, Simon still doesn't like it.
The main reason is that the surroundings are too dense.
Simon is not in the habit of crowding around others.
Speaking of which, it’s not that there aren’t better-quality plots of land in the surrounding area. It is located northeast of the Grand Hyatt Hotel Itaewon, covering an area of nearly 50,000 square meters. The terrain is better. It is also above the Samsung family property, and the ownership is in the hands of the Seoul City Government.
However, the Westeros family originally negotiated with the Seoul City Government to purchase it at a high price, but to no avail.
The attitude given by South Korea is that no matter how rich Simon Westeros is, he is not omnipotent.
Simon didn't force it.
After this year, Simon believes that if we talk again, money will be everything.
Simon didn't like this property, but Cheng Taixi was very emotional.
Even if she has seen a man's exaggeratedly large coastal estate in Mexico, Cheng Taixi came here with Chen Qing yesterday, probably because he returned to his motherland, but his feelings are still far different. At least, compared to the mansion here, her 90-square-meter house in Sinsa-dong is almost like a slum.
Chen Qing started busy as soon as she landed yesterday, and Cheng Taixi didn't even have time to talk to her about what kind of work she could do to help. I had some time this morning, and I received news that my parents had arrived from Busan, so the topic turned to asking for leave.
Chen Qing's attitude was casual.
So, entering this empty mansion, Cheng Taixi could only go to the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor overlooking the Han River and the scenery of Gangnam District to be in a daze.
I feel a little regretful, I might as well spend more time with my parents at home.
However, Cheng Taixi also understood that her mother kicked her out because she did not want her sister-in-law to pester her, especially about work.
Cheng Taixi was actually a little hesitant about this, but decided to help in the end.
After all, they are their own relatives.
What's more, it wasn't to that man, it was just Chen Qing.
Chen Qing was even more difficult to speak. But, at least, it would not consume the friendship between her and the man as her father said. Moreover, the most important point is that her brother and sister-in-law are actually very outstanding people, and Cheng Taixi believes that Chen Qing can use them.
Waiting and waiting, unexpectedly, Chen Qing did not return until after 11 o'clock in the night. Cheng Taixi's eyelids were already fighting at that time, and he finally cheered up. However, Lily Fawell told her that Ms. Chen was very tired and had no time to chat with her. I can only give up.
Get up early the next day so that you and Chen Qing can have breakfast together.
He was not in a hurry to talk about his brother and sister-in-law, but asked about himself first.
After a night's rest and morning exercise, Chen Qing was still in high spirits. When she heard her question, she looked sideways and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"As for cars," Cheng Taixi said, "I know a lot about these."
"The boss is not interested in the automobile industry," Chen Qing said directly: "However, if you want to work for Hyundai and Daewoo, I have no problem and can help you make arrangements."
Cheng Taixi shook his head.
She is not stupid. If she does this, she will definitely get further and further away from that man.
She wanted to do things with that man.
Chen Qing was just talking at first, but when she saw her shaking her head, she thought for a while, then said with a bad smile: "Otherwise, you can help the boss find girls."
Cheng Taixi's eyes suddenly widened: "Wha... what?"
Chen Qing took another sip of porridge and said slowly: "This is a more straightforward statement. To put it more euphemistically, we have recently negotiated with several entertainment companies. We will sign an acquisition agreement tomorrow when South Korea's restrictions on foreign shareholding are lifted. Then South Korea is vigorously developing the film and television entertainment business, one of which is to create an idol industry. The first thing to do is to recruit young men and women to be trainees. If the male bosses are not interested, you can take care of the girls."
Only then did Cheng Taixi understand.
Shake his head again.
For that man, if he finds other girls, she will not object and cannot object. But if she was asked to help him find girls, she couldn't do it.
Chen Qing started to use her big move again: "It seems you are still not pious enough."
Cheng Taixi just shook his head: "Miss Chen, I, I really don't want to do this."
"Forget it," Chen Qing didn't force it. It's not sweet to force yourself. What's more, this is actually business and you can't mess with it. She thought for a while and said: "You are good at customer reception and media public relations. Well, now in this area There’s no need for it, not to mention that you are the boss’s woman, so you can’t be allowed to entertain those stinky men.”
Cheng Taixi saw that Chen Qing did not finish her words and waited expectantly for her to continue.
Chen Qing thought about it for a moment and then said, "In this case, you can try to be a film producer next."
Cheng Taixi was surprised again: "Miss Chen, I... I don't know how."
"I once met a woman who knew nothing and was also a boss. Then, she learned everything in only half a year, which made me want to suppress her," Chen Qing said, He looked Cheng Taixi up and down: "You are not a pig. You can't learn?"
Cheng Taixi was speechless.
Chen Qing continued: "I know you want to do something related to your boss, and movies are just one of them. Oh, speaking of which, I took the time to learn about the current situation of the film industry in South Korea. Guess what I discovered?"
Cheng Taixi didn't want to guess. Judging from the tone, it was definitely not a good thing.
Chen Qingdao: "I discovered that the last local film in South Korea to win the annual box office championship was a film called "Winter Woman" in 1977. In 1977, for 20 years, you really failed to live up to your expectations."
It's really not a good thing.
Cheng Taixi wanted to refute, but found that he was speechless.
[Read books and get cash] Follow the vx public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and read books and get cash!
How can you refute this
What's more, she doesn't know much about this either.
Chen Qing did not wait for her answer and said: "So, you can give it a try next and see if you can create an annual box office champion produced by your Korean production. If you do it, the boss will definitely be very happy."
Cheng Taixi had no such thoughts at all.
She doesn't know anything, goes to make movies, and still wins the box office championship of the year? I... am not him.
It would be nice not to make him hate yourself.
Seeing Cheng Taixi's appearance, Chen Qing hated the iron and said: "That's it. Actually, if you think about it, even if you don't do well, it's actually not bad if you fail. If you make the boss angry, tsk, I suddenly discovered that you can make the boss angry." There aren’t many things to get angry about, why don’t you give it a try?”
I don’t want to try it!
Cheng Taixi was thinking in his mind. Seeing that Chen Qing had made such a decision, he could only ask: "Then, what should I do?"
"I just said it, producer," Chen Qing said and laughed again: "Actually, the job of a producer is the easiest. Many rich people like to be producers and then interview actresses, tsk, There are also people who like male actors, just like you, a woman, you must like beautiful boys, right?"
Cheng Taixi shook his head quickly.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you," Chen Qing said jokingly, "Let Lily give you some information later. Your task is to first understand the Korean film industry, and then go and compete with those who are more outstanding. Talk to film directors to see if they have any good ideas. You can also release the news and accept the scripts publicly. That’s about it. You have dealt with people before, so it’s considered your profession. If you can’t even do this, then drink Just choke yourself to death with the cold water in your mouth."
You can do this job yourself.
But Cheng Taixi still didn't nod immediately.
Chen Qing had no choice but to add: "Don't worry, you don't have the right to make the decision. In the end, the boss will have to take a look."
That's no problem.
Cheng Taixi nodded, then hesitated to speak.
Chen Qing could feel that this time it was not the problem just now, and asked: "Is there anything else?"
Cheng Taixi hesitated a little, then talked about his brother and sister-in-law, and then polished it a little and added a lot of nice things.
"This is a small matter." Chen Qing made Cheng Taixi surprisingly easy to speak this time: "First give me a copy of their resume."
