Chapter fifty-three
Looking at the nine girls who bowed and walked in, Lee Sung-hyun couldn't understand why these girls suddenly invited him to eat barbecue. But it was still difficult to refuse. Finally, he made an appointment to Jiang Hudong's barbecue restaurant, just to be on the safe side.
Lee Sung-hyun came once the last time and also got a membership card from Jiang Hudong. With this card, you can book a private room upstairs. If the girls come here, they can only eat downstairs, but they can't go to the membership area upstairs.
After watching the girls sit down one after another, Li Shengxian said directly: "Okay, can you say it now? Why did you suddenly invite me to barbecue? Just because I watched your performance today? Or is there another reason?"
Lin Yun'er, who was stared at by Lee Sang-hyun, was a little guilty, but she still said stubbornly: "Oppa, do you have to ask you for barbecue? Didn't you even invite us to steak yesterday?"
‘That’s true?’
Li Shengxian, who was a little disbelief, asked directly. When the other girls spoke, Li Shengxian finally didn't ask much. Instead, he handed the menu to the girls and said, "Order whatever you want!"
The girls holding the menu looked at the prices of ingredients on it and couldn't help but stick out their tongues: "Wow, the price here is so expensive! This kind of pork belly is not so expensive in other barbecue restaurants."
Listening to the girls' discussion, Li Shengxian smiled bitterly and said, "Now I know it's expensive? Okay, you don't have to pay the bills tonight. As for your current income, if you treat me to a barbecue, you can only eat instant noodles for the rest of the month.
Although the ingredients here are a bit expensive, the ingredients are all freshest. I went here for a meal the last time. Also, don’t you worry, will people recognize them if you go to another barbecue restaurant for dinner?
If the reporter photographed it, you and I were having a meal with me in a barbecue restaurant. What do you think others would think about the scene of nine women and one man? Those reporters would be told about it even if they were fine. At least it was safer here, do you understand?"
‘I know! But, oppa, you haven’t just returned to Korea for a while, why are you so familiar with the entertainment industry?’
Listening to Huang Meiying's inquiry, Lee Sang-hyun was stunned for a moment but said, "I haven't eaten pork, have you seen pigs run away?"
The girls were stunned by this. Li Shengxian could only say again: "This is just an analogy, which means that I don't have to enter the entertainment industry to understand these taboos. Don't you know these rules?"
As the girls felt a little embarrassed, they handed back the menu they ordered. Looking at the things the girls ordered, Li Shengxian shook his head and said, "Since ordering so many vegetables, have you all changed to vegetarian food?"
He said, called the waiter over and ordered a few more servings of meat that are expensive but tasted very good. The girls who listened quickly dissuaded: "Oppa, enough! Don't order it again, otherwise you will not be able to finish it!"
‘Okay! Don’t think I don’t know. You didn’t eat much of the steak from the afternoon yesterday. I’m afraid that the meat I ordered is not enough! Please send the ones I ordered first!’
‘Inside, please wait! We will prepare for you immediately!’
Holding the ordered menu, the waiter left with a smile. For these waiters, they all knew that most of the guests who were qualified to go to the second floor to have a meal were not very poor.
If the money is really short, I believe I am not qualified to go to the second floor. If I really take out the girls’ menu just now to serve, I am afraid that the people in the kitchen will doubt whether the guests who came are members of the barbecue restaurant.
Not long after, the waiter brought the ingredients ordered by everyone to the private room one after another. Looking at the fat, tender and fresh ingredients, the girls finally believed what Li Shengxian said, the things here are expensive, but the food is indeed fresh.
‘Please use it slowly, if you have any needs, please feel free to call us!’
The waiter who served the ingredients with good ingredients left at the right time. Even though they were curious about what the situation was like for these nine women and one man. But they knew that the first thing to do when working on the second floor was to do a good job, and they didn't see anything else.
‘Don’t stand there! The ingredients are all served, so bake them quickly! You won’t expect me to bake them for you, right? Actually, I don’t like barbecue very much. If you have the money to eat barbecue, it’s better to buy some ingredients and go home to cook your own food!’
The girls were stunned for a moment, but at the greeting of Wong Mi-young, they began to bake the ingredients. At this moment, Kim Taeyeon, who was sitting next to Lee Sung-hyun, seemed to have a lot of worries since entering the door.
This action made Lee Sung-hyun ask in confusion: "Kim Taeyeon, what's wrong? Judging from your worried look, what happened?"
‘Nei, it’s okay! Thank you for today’s matter! We will pay attention to it in the future!’
‘Just for this?’
Lee Sung-hyun still replied with a helpless response when he heard Kim Taeyeon's words. At this time, Lin Yuna, who was sitting on the other side, smiled and said, "oppa, Taeyeon Oni is shy!"
'shy?'
Lee Sung-hyun was stunned for a moment, but saw Kim Taeyeon saying directly: "Ah! Lin Yun'er, don't talk nonsense!"
In fact, Lin Yuna just teased Kim Taeyeon, which made her feel a little panicked when she remembered Kim Taeyeon that night. She was especially curious whether the wound she bit that night caused Lee Sung-hyun to be injured.
Fortunately, at this time, Huang Meiying interrupted and asked at the right time: "oppa, why did you go to KBS today?"
Facing Huang Meiying's inquiry, Lee Sung-hyun, who was not stupid, quickly reacted. Looking at Lin Yuna sitting beside her, she said directly: "Yuna, this should be the reason why you invited me to barbecue?"
Seeing that Lee Sang-hyun revealed his intentions directly, Kim Taeyeon, who was afraid that he would misunderstand, immediately said: "Sage xi, don't misunderstand it. In fact, we mean to invite you to eat barbecue. I really want to thank you for yesterday's incident.
Yoona is one of us who wants to be part-time actors. Our agent uncle already knows what you signed with KBS. He said that we should establish a good relationship with you. But we actually don’t think about this kind of thing!"
Looking at Kim Taeyeon's helpless but frank explanation, Lee Sung-hyun said again: "Do you feel guilty when you didn't say anything just now? What you said doesn't want to do is you think I won't help you? Or is it something else?"
Three questions in a row made Kim Taeyeon silent again. In fact, Kim Taeyeon also knew that Lee Sung-hyun was kind to them and didn't seem to see any bad intentions. But now they invited Lee Sung-hyun to dinner, but actually they had ulterior motives.
In fact, Kim Taeyeon, who doesn't like to do such things, was stunned by Lee Sung-hyun's indifferent expression. She really didn't know how to answer such a question. She just felt really wronged!
The girls who also saw this scene also felt the atmosphere suddenly became tense. But the one who felt even more guilty was Huang Meiying. She really didn't expect that Lee Sang-hyun would follow her words and react so smartly.
But what I didn’t expect was that Kim Taeyeon was so honest and told her that she shouldn’t have said anything. In this way, they continued to sit here and eat barbecue with Lee Sung-hyun, but they were afraid the atmosphere would be really awkward!
