Chapter 189 What are you discussing? Both of them have left
seven o'clock in the evening
Congdu restaurant near Daehanmun Gate, Sajik-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
“Want the white course package?”
The waiter took the menu from Bae Zhuhyun's hand and left with a smile and a nod.
Seqi looked at the environment of the restaurant: "The decoration here is really noble and elegant."
Yelin pointed out the window: "Is that the courtyard of Deoksugung Palace over there?"
Wendy is actually more familiar with this place than they are: "The environment is pretty good, it's rated as one of the top ten restaurants in Seoul."
Joy echoed: "It's a perfect place to invite a big shot like President Li Chenghao to come here for dinner."
Just as he was talking, Li Chenghao appeared at the door of the restaurant.
The restaurant manager who was originally receiving foreign customers saw Li Chenghao and immediately walked up: "Good evening, President nim"
Li Chenghao looked around, and the manager asked cautiously: "Is President Nim alone today?"
"Appointment"
The manager's mind was racing. There were no high-status and powerful people among the guests coming to the restaurant for dinner tonight.
Suddenly thinking of Bae Zhuhyun and his party whom the waiter had just received, the manager immediately made a gesture of invitation: "President Nim, please come here. Bae Zhuhyun and the others are already here."
People with a keen eye are more likely to rise in the workplace much faster than others.
Li Chenghao didn't say who he had an appointment with, but as the manager of the restaurant, he carefully guessed it.
In the modern glass room with the shape of a Korean house, there were only five of them, Bae Zhuhyun, in the dining area with three tables.
Seeing the manager personally serving Li Chenghao and approaching slowly, the five people stood up and said hello.
There were originally three chairs placed in opposite rows, but what Li Chenghao saw was the four Wendys crowded together and Bae Zhuhyun sitting alone on one side.
There is an empty chair next to Bae Zhuhyun, and this chair is obviously prepared for Li Chenghao.
Pulling out the chair, Pei Zhuxuan said softly: "I ordered the white course set meal. Is it to your liking?"
Li Chenghao took his seat, letting the four people standing opposite sit down first, and said slowly: "The best thing here is the white course package, but the price is not cheap."
Bae Zhuhyun suffered a lot of bleeding during this meal.
A portion of 69,800 h yuan, six people spent nearly 420,000 h yuan
"I haven't ordered any wine yet, what would you like to drink?"
It was just a normal conversation, but Li Chenghao felt a strong flavor of Hongmen Banquet.
The eyes of the four people sitting opposite him showed their determination to get Li Chenghao drunk tonight.
"I can do it"
Wendy took over the task of ordering drinks.
Li Chenghao asked casually: "How did you choose this place?"
Joy answered first: "This is a restaurant carefully selected by Ernie. It has a beautiful environment and a new Korean cuisine. It also has good privacy. You don't need to worry about being photographed by paparazzi."
took a sip of water
Li Chenghao smiled at the four people sitting across from him: "So you have reserved this dining area?"
All four people looked at Pei Zhuhyun.
It wasn't reserved originally, but the seat they are sitting in right now is an excellent spot in the restaurant that rarely allows them to see the courtyard of Deoksugung Palace.
Bae Zhuhyun felt that it might be inconvenient for Li Chenghao to have other guests around, so she spent money to book two dining tables next to her. At the price of two green courses that she was happy to accept, she realized the idea of regional booking.
Bae Zhuhyun didn't hide anything and told the reason why she did this.
Li Chenghao looked at Joy: "Did the audition results come out today?"
When joy heard that it was about a TV drama audition, he immediately responded: "Not yet. To be honest, I really like the script of "Flower Travels"."
"Then come on"
Just four words expressed Li Chenghao's attitude.
Joy's expression management failed, but fortunately Yelin gently pulled Joy's hand under the table.
Maybe except for joy, no one else thought that tonight was really a dinner prepared to help joy win the role of "Flower Travels".
The audition was just an excuse, the purpose was to help Bae Zhuhyun confirm the relationship between Lee Sungho and IU.
Food and drinks are served
The four girls still looked too immature in front of Li Chenghao.
The reasons for the toasts and the order of the toasts were arranged in advance. In order to liven up the atmosphere, some funny things between them were also said.
It was obvious that they were working very hard. While drinking, Li Chenghao speculated on the purpose of tonight's meal.
If it was really to help Joy get a role, shouldn't it be talking about Joy's honing of acting skills and some experiences in starring in works?
You can't give up on the idea of fighting for a role just because you said "Come on."
After drinking until he was slightly tipsy, Li Chenghao gradually started to feel something.
The four people sitting across from him began to slowly chat about Bae Zhuhyun. Various compliments and stories about Bae Zhuhyun taking care of others, being very virtuous, and cooking delicious food appeared one by one.
Although Li Chenghao noticed that Bae Zhuhyun was very shy and embarrassed when she heard compliments, she did not stop her sisters from praising her, which was a bit unlike her character.
While the four of Joy went to the bathroom, Li Chenghao turned to look at Bae Zhuhyun, who was left alone: "Are they trying to set us up?"
Pei Zhuxuan waved her hand: "No"
"Then why do they keep praising you and you don't stop them."
"I, I..."
Li Chenghao picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "The motive of wanting to get me drunk is too obvious. Do you want to confirm something?"
Now that Li Chenghao had asked all the questions, Bae Zhuhyun mustered up the courage and planned to use this topic to directly ask them about their guesses.
bathroom
The four of joy gathered in front of the sink and started discussing again
Wendy said with some worry: "I think President Li Chenghao may not go to the second show."
Seqi yawned, covered her mouth and hesitated: "And where should we go for the second game? At this time, all the major food restaurants are overcrowded, and it is not possible to go to the bar. The company knows that if the five of us go to the bar together, our manager Ou
Ba will be punished."
Yelin's expression was sincere: "Although I don't think it's appropriate to go to a karaoke room, but it seems that the only place where you can have a drink with good privacy is the karaoke room."
The place has been decided, but for what reason did we invite Li Chenghao to continue the second show?
If there isn't an excuse to attract him, even if it's all very glamorous, it won't make any sense.
Joy was so free and easy: "Let's just make a bet with President Li Chenghao on who has the better drinking capacity between us and him."
"What?"
Joy explained with certainty: "No matter what status a man has, he actually has a childish side in his heart. When I was recording a show with Oppa Singjae, as long as I mentioned a bet, things that Oppa Sungjae wouldn't be interested in would immediately come to mind.
Interested."
"Didn't I go to Sungjae Oppa's company? He was like this when he was with the members."
"I would walk on the road inexplicably and bet on who could touch the leaves on the treetops."
"The point is that there is no stake in this kind of bet, but all the men present work harder than the other, and the desire to win or lose is instantly aroused."
The other three were still a little worried. After all, would a mature and steady character like Li Chenghao really be like this?
When they returned to the dining table from the bathroom, they discovered that Lee Sung-ho and Bae Joo-hyun were missing from where they were supposed to be sitting.
The waiter came over quickly: "Guys, President Li Chenghao nim and your friends have left. President Li Chenghao nim also asked me to tell you that he had a great time tonight."
