Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 764 A Nice Surprise

Hideki Hanyu's time in Seoul passed quickly, and soon it was July 21st, the day when he was invited to the Presidential Palace.

Of course, he was not the only one invited this time.

Commander Roh, who was overwhelmed by the internal political situation in South Korea, seemed to be desperately trying to do something to divert public attention, so he held this banquet at the Commander's Mansion.

The name of this invitation is to promote exchanges in South Korea's economic and cultural development.

The invitation list was announced the day after Hanyu Hideki went to Gyeonggi Province.

Most of them are cultural celebrities, investors, businessmen and the like from overseas.

The Commander's Mansion had created quite a buzz for this dinner in advance.

In particular, emphasis was placed on promoting the influential invitees on the list.

Given Hideki Hanyu's fame, he is naturally one of them.

Today's event starts at noon, with the formal event process first, and then the dinner at the Commander's Mansion.

So there is no need for Hideki Hanyu to rush out too early. After getting up in the morning, his life rhythm in his mansion in Itaewon is the same as usual.

He got up, exercised, washed, had breakfast, dealt with the work reported by his assistant, and then watched Li Meiyan walk out of the bedroom with a lazy look on her face.

When it comes to the South Korean kimchi girls that come to his doorstep, Hanyu Hideki always believes that it is better to chew them till they are tender than to miss them.

So that night, the scumbag gave the other person a good memory just as Li Meiyan had hoped.

But that night, because the girl could not bear the conquest, he went to the second bedroom to find Choi Jin-sil to keep her company.

However, the next day, after Choi Jin-sil left for work, Lee Mi-yeon "monopolized" Hanyu Hideki's place.

Although Hanyu Hideki has to go out during the day to attend to his scheduled schedule, as soon as he returns home, he will be pestered by the greedy Li Meiyan.

Unfortunately, Li Meiyan’s strength was too weak. Every time she "harassed" Hanyu Hideki excitedly, she was beaten by Hanyu Hideki and could not wake up until noon the next day.

When Li Meiyan got up today, she was only wearing a white shirt of Hideki Hanyu, deliberately revealing her fair and slender legs, creating a perfectly suggestive look.

I have to say that although this girl is not very old, she is definitely a natural when it comes to using herself to tease men. She has provided a lot of extra emotional value to Hanyu Hideki in the past few days.

But unfortunately, Hanyu Hideki, who had already tidied up his appearance with the help of a stylist, had no time to pay attention to Li Meiyan.

When there is something important to do, Hanyu Hideki always knows what is important.

So when Li Meiyan came close to him, she asked in a flirtatious tone, "Oppa, are you going out so early today? Can you stay with me for a while longer?"

Hanyu Hideki asked back, "Didn't you read the recent news?"

Li Meiyan looked puzzled, "What news?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "I was invited by your Commander Roh to attend an exchange event at the Blue House today."

"Oh my god! Cheong Wa Dae!" Li Meiyan's pretty face was shocked.

Hideki Hanyu was very satisfied with this reaction.

Although he cared about the invitation, what he cared about was the communication itself and the purpose he wanted to achieve through the event, rather than meeting someone or going to a certain place.

After all, it was hard for him to have any expectations for the Blue House, a place that his colleagues jokingly called "not as grand as the crematorium near his home" when he went on a business trip to South Korea in his previous life.

But he didn't care. However, it was very effective in bluffing ordinary South Koreans.

"Yes, I will be leaving soon."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he looked up and down at Li Meiyan beside him and said, "Go change your clothes while it's still early. I'll take you home after I leave."

After a few days, the novelty of this kimchi girl wore off.

A scumbag who has eaten everything and is fed up with the food will certainly not keep the other person here forever.

Because that would be too inconvenient.

Yesterday when he went to inspect the South Korean branch of Yunshang Entertainment, Park Hae-mi pestered him to come and see the house there. However, because Lee Mi-yeon was still living there, he had to reluctantly refuse.

It seems that he really needs to arrange for someone to replace all the door locks and other things here.

Not only Li Meiyan, but also we have to avoid the sudden attack from the eldest lady of Samsung.

Although Li Meiyan didn't want to leave, she didn't dare to go against Hanyu Hideki's wishes, so she took her bags of shopping trophies and got into Hanyu Hideki's car.

Li Meiyan is from Seoul. Her parents are both teachers. She has an older brother and two older sisters.

Although their family is not wealthy, it is undoubtedly much better off than Choi Jin-sil who lives in a slum.

Hideki Hanyu actually doesn't know much about this Korean female star who became famous in the late 1980s.

He only remembered that after Lee Mi-yeon made her debut in the Miss Lotte beauty pageant, she starred in a KBS TV series and won the KBS TV Best Actress award that year.

Although this kind of internal award is not very valuable, it also indirectly proves that Li Meiyan has made a good start in the entertainment industry.

But in this time and space, Li Meiyan's experience is completely different from Hanyu Hideki's memory.

She did not rank well in the Miss Lotte beauty pageant and was signed to an agency under Lotte. However, she was ignored by the agency because she insisted on going to college.

The KBS TV series that I was supposed to star in did not get filmed.

Instead, he starred in a PBS series.

I don’t know if it was influenced by the butterfly Hideki Hanyu.

Before Choi Jin-sil left, she mentioned to Hanyu Hideki that Lee Mi-yeon wanted to terminate her contract with Lotte's agency.

Unfortunately, although Li Meiyan's family situation is good, she still belongs to the ordinary class. Naturally, she cannot afford to offend a behemoth like Lotte Group, so the progress of termination of the contract remains at the stage of thinking about it.

In the moving car, Hanyu Hideki thought of this and turned to Li Miyan beside him and asked, "I heard from Choi Jin-sil that you want to leave your current agency?"

Li Meiyan quickly replied, “Yes, I have always wanted to terminate the contract.

I had to sign with my current agency because I made it to the finals of a beauty pageant.

But after I signed the contract, the firm not only refused to provide me with opportunities but also restricted me from finding a job on my own because I did not cooperate with the work arrangements.

This is also the reason why I chose to go to university.”

After listening to Li Meiyan's answer, Hanyu Hideki nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Seeing this, Li Meiyan asked tentatively, "Oppa, can you help me?"

Lotte Group has a powerful presence in South Korea, and Lee Mi-yeon knows she can't afford to offend it.

But for the agency's semi-frozen state, going to college was only a stopgap measure. After all, her contract with the agency was for seven years.

And if she really offended Lotte Group, she would never be able to realize her dream of becoming a big star since she was a child.

Now, she has the support of Hideki Hanyu.

Although her original intention was complicated, mostly because she was tempting the scumbag, a small part of her intention was to use Hanyu Hideki to help her terminate the contract.

After all, on the list of the world's billionaires, even the founder of Lotte Group, Takeo Shigemitsu (Shin Kyuk-ho), ranked behind Hideki Hanyu in terms of wealth, and was several places behind him.

If even Hideki Hanyu can't help her, then no one in this world can help her.

But Hanyu Hideki did not give Li Meiyan a direct answer, but just said ambiguously, "Just wait for my news."

As the words fell, the car stopped by the roadside.

It turned out that we had arrived at Li Meiyan’s home.

Hideki Hanyu glanced out the car window and saw a modern residential complex with the words "Meixing Apartments" written on it. It was filled with apartments that were more than ten stories high.

In this era, if you can live in such an apartment community in Seoul, you can be called a middle-class family. Hanyu Hideki said to Lee Mi-yeon, "You have arrived at your home, and I have to go to the Blue House to participate in an event, so I won't take you back in person."

"Thank you, Oppa, for taking me home. Bye."

When Li Meiyan said goodbye, Hanyu Hideki's bodyguard had already come to help open the car door.

Although Hanyu Hideki did not send Li Meiyan home, he still arranged for someone to help Li Meiyan carry her large and small bags of things.

In this way, Li Meiyan, followed by an assistant and two bodyguards, returned home under the curious gazes of passers-by in the community.

When Li Meiyan rang the doorbell, her parents were also surprised when they saw the scene behind her.

Fortunately, Hanyu Hideki's subordinates acted decisively and after sending the person to drop off the things, they simply left, so Li Meiyan's family did not remain surprised for too long.

However, after everyone left, Li Meiyan's parents couldn't wait to ask.

"Mei Yan, haven't you been staying at the home of a senior from the crew these days? What's going on with those people? And what's going on with these things?"

Before Li Meiyan answered her parents' questions, a scream was heard from inside the door.

Accompanied by exclamations, a girl rushed out from between Li Meiyan's parents. She looked somewhat similar to Li Meiyan and could be considered a beauty, but her height was obviously not as tall as Li Meiyan.

This girl was none other than Lee Mi-yeon's second sister, only two years older than Lee Mi-yeon, and was currently studying at a university in Seoul.

Li Meiyan's eldest brother is married and has children, and her eldest sister has graduated and started working, so they all moved out of home.

Now, only my second sister and Li Meiyan live with my parents at home.

After her second sister rushed out of the door screaming, she immediately dove into the large and small bags placed at the door, shouting and yelling with the exaggerated expression unique to South Koreans.

"Omo! Omo! This is the latest LV bag! This is a Chanel dress! These are Dior shoes, and there is also perfume..."

After chattering for a while and listing a bunch of luxury brands, the second sister hugged her younger sister Li Meiyan and asked in front of her parents' astonished eyes.

"Mei Yan! Did you go robbing someone?"

Li Meiyan slapped her sister's hand away and said angrily, "Yes! I went to rob. There are gifts for you in here. If you don't want them, just throw them away."

Upon hearing this, the second sister rushed to an LV bag and shouted, "Don't throw it away, I want this bag as a gift."

Li Meiyan quickly said, "This bag is for my sister-in-law!"

"Please give it to me and replace it with a new one for my sister-in-law." The second sister shouted and refused to let go.

Before Li Meiyan could say anything, her father slapped his second daughter on the head and said, "Don't go crazy outside. Help get the things back first."

Then the whole family started to move things into the house together.

When they were almost done moving, Father Li turned to look at Li Meiyan and asked, "And you, tell me the truth about these things."

Li Meiyan quickly said, "When I was shopping in the Central District with a senior who I met on the set, she bought it and gave it to me."

"Really?" Father Li looked doubtful.

After all, the prices of so many luxury goods are not a small amount, and it sounds outrageous that a friend would just give them to his daughter.

Li Meiyan wanted to explain when she saw this, but her second sister, who was lying next to her and looking through the pile of gifts, suddenly let out a sharp cry.

This sound was even more exaggerated than when he saw a bunch of luxury goods just now.

"What's wrong again?" Father Li said unhappily.

At the same time, the other members of the Li family also looked towards the screaming second sister.

Then they saw that Li Meiyan's second sister was trembling all over, pointing at a black packaging bag without a logo, and stammering.

"Money...money...lots of money!"

Upon hearing this, Father Li walked over quickly and saw that the black packaging bag was filled with neatly stacked green US dollars.

Seeing this, Father Li's breathing could not help but stagnate. He turned to Li Meiyan and asked, "Don't tell me that this was also given to you by that senior?"
-
Hideki Hanyu, who had already arrived at the Blue House, had no idea how much trouble it would cause to Lee Mi-yeon when he asked his bodyguard to take the unspent US dollar cash along with the luxury goods back to Lee Mi-yeon.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't have the time to care now.

Because at this moment, he was witnessing a group of media and other invited guests at the Welcome House on the left side of the main building of the Blue House, starting today's event.

When everyone first walked into the guesthouse together, Hideki Hanyu was the most popular and sought-after person by the media.

All the media reporters rushed towards him, as if they didn't care about the other invited guests around them.

However, this result is normal.

After all, Hideki Hanyu, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a suit and tie, with a slender and tall figure, and elegant and handsome, stood out among the invited guests. Simply saying "standing out among a flock of chickens" is not enough to describe him.

Because whether in terms of appearance, net worth, or international fame, Hideki Hanyu is unique among the invitees.

It would be strange if the media ignored people like Hanyu Hideki and instead paid attention to other people.

In other words, the space around Hideki Hanyu was really limited, and some media outlets had no choice but to choose other invited guests for interviews after they were unable to squeeze in.

Otherwise the scene would be really ugly.

However, to have made it to his current level, Hanyu Hideki is already an old hand who "understands human nature", and naturally he would not be foolish enough to be the first to act and make others jealous.

Therefore, when reporters surrounded him, he quickly answered two questions and left decisively, leaving the scene to other invited guests in an unusually low-key and humble manner.

This also led to him becoming the first person to be received by Commander Lu in the inner hall.

In front of the reporters, Hideki Hanyu shook hands and greeted the other party with ease and completed the meeting with a calm look on his face.

After all, it’s not like he hasn’t had dinner with the Prime Minister of Japan before.

He also had a lively conversation with the former and current President of America at a fundraising dinner in Los Angeles.

In Arkansas, he even enjoyed a dinner at the home of the next President of America and maintained a good private friendship with him.

Even in the country...

Uh - I can’t say that.

All in all, the South Korean leader in front of him was not enough to make Hideki Hanyu make a fuss.

After the meeting, Commander Lu introduced the family members who came to greet him to Hanyu Hideki.

When he introduced his eldest daughter and son-in-law, he immediately caught the attention of Hideki Hanyu.

Just because Commander Noh’s eldest son-in-law is named Choi Tae-won.

His father Choi Jong-hyun is the second-generation head of the "Sunkyung Group".

If you feel unfamiliar with the private capital of Sunkyung Group, then I believe everyone is familiar with the Korean chaebol "SK Group" in later generations.

This Korean chaebol giant started out in the textile industry, made its fortune in the chemical fiber industry, entered the energy industry in the 1980s, and entered the mobile communications industry in the 1990s. It was not until the late 1990s that it was officially renamed "SK Group."

The SKT team, which is well-known to domestic e-sports fans, was created, operated and managed by a subsidiary of the SK Group.

However, during this period, the "Sunkyung Group", which had not yet been renamed, was far from being as powerful as the later SK Group.

Even in the energy business, the other party had conflicts with Hideki Hanyu.

To be precise, it is the Sunkyung Oil Corporation and Hideki Hanyu's Tohoku Energy that are engaged in a fierce competition over the development of an oil field somewhere in the Middle East.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki felt that he would be able to meet Choi Tae-won today.

It seemed like a good surprise to meet the third-generation leader who personally changed the name of "Sunkyung Group" to "SK Group" and eventually led SK Group to growth and development.

It seems that besides giving advice to Commander Lu, he has other things to do today.
