Chapter 221: Joohyun Oni, Li Chenghao and your father are outside
Sinsa-dong samwon garden Korean beef store
Li Chenghao and Bae Zhengxian were led by the waiter to the window seats.
I ordered Korean beef for four people and ribs for two people. I ordered six bottles of soju and two bottles of beer in one go. I sat contentedly and waited for the food and drinks to be served.
Take out cigarette
Pei Zhengxian took a look at the situation in the store, shook his head and said: "It's just different from the tent carriage. You can't smoke even if you want to."
Li Chenghao corrected: "You can smoke, why can't you smoke?"
Pointing to the sign on the wall not far away: "Isn't there a no-smoking sign posted over there?"
Li Chenghao asked Pei Zhengxian: "Uncle, is there anything written prohibiting Li Chenghao and Pei Zhengxian from smoking?"
What kind of fallacy is this? Why do I feel inexplicably happy after hearing it?
"Yeah, we didn't write our names, hahahaha"
So the two lit cigarettes in the store.
In less than a minute, the waiter came over and reminded me apologetically: "Customer nim, you are not allowed to smoke in our store. This will affect the comfort of other guests..."
Taking out the black gold Centurion card from his pocket and placing it on the table, Li Chenghao tapped the face of the bank card: "Guests who are willing to continue to eat in the store can also smoke together. I will pay for their meals. If you are not willing, I will pay for them."
You can leave the hotel and I will pay for the same meal."
"Customer nim, that's not what I mean, but..."
"Go and ask your store manager. If there are any additional service fees, cleaning fees and so on are all included."
The waiter did not take away the bank card, but turned directly to the store manager.
The store manager came over and saw Li Chenghao's face. He originally wanted to stop Li Chenghao from smoking, but he said directly: "President Nim, do you have any side dishes you want to eat? I'll let the kitchen prepare it alone."
"No, just listen to what she said and go ahead and do it."
Picking up the bank card, the store manager took the waiter away.
Bae Zhengxian, who witnessed this scene, sighed: "Sunghao, today you really allowed me to witness the tyranny of the chaebol with my own eyes."
Li Chenghao waved his hands: "Uncle, what kind of arrogance is this?"
"Spending money like water is not considered arrogant?"
"I just don't want to affect the atmosphere of the two of us drinking. In short, we can't disturb our smoking."
at the same time
Yelin came out of the bathroom and vaguely heard some guests talking about smoking.
It seems that Li Chenghao's name was also mentioned, saying that he should insist on eating for a while before leaving. It is rare to encounter a situation where the chaebol pays the bill.
Turning her head and looking around the store from left to right, she saw the corner of the window on the right, where Yelin's pupils quickly dilated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Rubbing her eyes, she looked at the window seat again to make sure she saw it correctly. She moved half the distance forward. After repeated confirmation, Yelin immediately ran back to the box.
He closed the door and leaned against the door, stroking his chest: "It's a big incident, guys, guess who I saw?"
"Zhao Yincheng?"
"Kang Dong-won?"
Waving her hand, Yelin said anxiously: "It's not them."
"Who is that?"
"President Li Chenghao."
"who?"
"President Li Chenghao, and..."
His eyes moved to Pei Zhuhyun.
Wendy subconsciously thought she saw Li Chenghao and IU.
She wanted to remind Yilin not to say anything, but Yilin had already spoken, but what she said was: "And Ernie's father."
"who?"
Bae Zhuhyun was startled, her whole body seemed to be frozen, and she looked at Yelin with wide eyes and a look of disbelief on her face.
"uncle?"
Nodding her head repeatedly, Yelin said in a crackling voice: "I came out of the bathroom just now and heard some customers talking about the chaebol paying the bill and then smoking and so on, so I went to the lobby to take a look out of curiosity."
"At that time, I was wondering why there would be chaebols sitting in the lobby to eat, but then I saw President Li Chenghao and Oni's father smoking and chatting. I am 100% sure that I saw it right."
Bae Zhuhyun reacted and muttered: "Why didn't you tell me that dad came to Seoul? Where's mom? Didn't she come? And why did dad come to Seoul to date Lee Sung-ho but not me? Why?"
Bae Zhuhyun is at a loss to understand.
Not only could she not understand it, but other members could not understand it either.
Wendy guessed that Lee Sung-ho and Bae Jung-hun established a special friendship during their time in Daegu, so Bae Jung-hun came to Seoul to meet Lee Sung-ho for a drink without telling Bae Joo-hyun.
No, I need to call my mother.
With that said, Pei Zhuhyun dialed her mother's phone number.
Her mother remained calm and told Bae Zhuhyun on the phone that her father was going to Seoul to attend the funeral of a classmate. As for why she met Li Chenghao, she didn't know.
After grasping the situation, Pei Zhuhyun slowly stood up from the chair.
"What do you want Unnie to do?"
"When I know dad is coming, I can't help but say hello."
From a polite point of view, this must be done, but from a moral point of view, I didn't tell Bae Zhuhyun that I came to Seoul. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to just go out and say hello?
The window seat in the lobby
Li Chenghao didn't know that Pei Zhuhyun and the others would come to this restaurant to eat tonight.
After a sip of soju, the waiter put the grilled Korean beef on their plates, picked up the chopsticks and put it into their mouths. It tasted delicious.
Thumbs up, Bae Zhengxian was lamenting that Korean beef was different, when a group of figures suddenly appeared in front of the table.
Li Chenghao and Bae Zhengxian turned around to look at the same time. The leader was Bae Zhengxian's eldest daughter, Bae Zhuhyun.
Their eyes intertwined, and Bae Zhengxian asked blankly: "Joohyun, why are you here?"
"Why didn't Dad contact me when he came to Seoul?"
Pointing at Li Chenghao, Pei Zhengxian blurted out: "It was Chenghao who said not to contact you, not me."
Li Chenghao is a very calm person. At least he was not surprised when he saw Pei Zhuhyun and others standing at the table, so he thought it might be a coincidence.
But what Pei Zhengxian said made him uneasy. He looked at Pei Zhengxian and said, "Uncle, did I hear you right? It was you who told me not to contact Zhuhyun and that she would affect our drinking. Now you put all the blame on me."
On your body?"
Bae Zhuhyun obviously believed what Li Chenghao said. She had no intention of stopping her father from meeting Li Chenghao for a drink. She just couldn't figure out whether she was her biological daughter and why her father only contacted Li Chenghao.
"Well, it was actually Cheng Hao who I contacted. I came to attend the funeral of my classmate. I thought I hadn't had a drink with Cheng Hao in a long time, so I made an appointment with him."
"I didn't call you because I didn't want to disturb you. Besides, dad has to go back to Daegu early tomorrow morning, so it wouldn't make much sense for us to meet."
significance
Is it meaningful for him to meet Lee Sung Ho?
Maybe it's because my father's face is almost broken from laughter, and there is a cigarette butt in front of him. It makes so much sense to smoke freely in such a non-smoking restaurant. It also has material to brag about with his old friends back in Daegu.
There is no such thing as a good thing if you meet yourself, not to mention smoking in a restaurant, even smoking outside a restaurant.
Clearing his throat, Li Chenghao looked at Pei Zhuxuan: "Do you want to sit down and eat together?"
Joy nodded immediately: "I originally planned to thank President Nim tonight. President Nim said there was a dinner party, so we came by ourselves. Since we met, let's eat together."
Bae Zhengxian pursed his lips and kept winking at Li Chenghao. It was so uncomfortable to eat together.
It was also the first time that Li Chenghao regretted in public: "Well, actually, my uncle and I have some career matters to discuss. How about we eat together next time? I'll treat you next time."
