Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 103 I'm better suited to use Yoona!! (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

At noon, sunlight streamed through the windows into the room, filling the air with the tranquility and warmth of the afternoon.

Lin Xiuyuan and Park Jiyeon sat side by side on the living room sofa, the atmosphere relaxed.

Somewhat pleased, Park Jiyeon picked up a cushion, tucked it into her arms, and quietly smiled as she watched Lin Xiuyuan, who was explaining his business strategies to her with great enthusiasm.

“Oppa, it seems like we’ve never had a proper chat like this since we met.”

Lin Xiuyuan paused, looking at Xiao Zhiyan with a mixture of amusement and helplessness, "I'm talking to you about business, and you're just flirting with me, aren't you?"

"It's just something I felt compelled to say."

Park Jiyeon muttered something, then got up and ran to the kitchen to make Lin Xiuyuan a cup of black tea. "Hehe, oppa, have some tea."

Looking at the features that were indeed much more youthful than those of the young dragon cub, Lin Xiuyuan smiled, then picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Do you remember what I just told you?"

"remember."

Park Jiyeon, who sat cross-legged again, answered seriously, "Oppa, you said that in 2025, the mala tang industry has become a new favorite among young people in Seoul. Let me take a look at this model."

Do you know what mala tang (spicy hot pot) is?

After hearing that Park Jiyeon hadn't ignored his conversation, Lin Xiuyuan continued to ask.

Park Jiyeon raised her eyebrows slightly, clearly not familiar with this 'mala tang' (spicy hot pot). After all, in 2013, neither she nor Tara had yet ventured into China, so she simply shook her head.

"I've heard of it, it's kind of like boiled vegetables, right?"

"Similar, I suppose."

Lin Xiuyuan, who seemed to have anticipated her reaction, nodded slightly. "In my opinion, the core of Mala Tang is not the taste and seasoning, but its 'DIY' nature."

"DIY?" Park Jiyeon was a little confused.

"That's right, this is it. Customers can freely choose the ingredients according to their own taste, which satisfies their personalized needs and allows them to enjoy a rich taste experience."

As he spoke, Lin Xiuyuan took out his 16 Pro, opened TikTok, searched for a video, and placed it in front of Xiao Zhiyan.

"Look, as young people get tired of traditional eating habits, fast food snacks that can be convenient, personalized, and have unique flavors are bound to have an increasingly larger market."

"This has already been proven in China, there's no problem at all, and it's also very affordable."

However, Park Jiyeon looked completely confused when he said these words.

I can understand some of it, but not much.

Only after Lin Xiuyuan finished speaking did she softly say, "Oppa, I don't know much about this, but if you think it's worth voting for, I'll go back and discuss it with the company, and also tell the unnies."

Park Ji-yeon doesn't believe in future trends, but rather in Lin Xiuyuan.

As for why such a deep level of trust has been established after only knowing each other for such a short time.

It's very simple. Lin Xiuyuan has shared the time portal with her, so what is there that she can't trust?

Park Jiyeon's trust also moved Lin Xiuyuan, who laughed and said, "Jiyeon, aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

"Don't worry, if that happens, I'll come and ask that old woman for money and use it to fill the huge hole between us."

Her words really made Lin Xiuyuan laugh. "Jiyan, you still have such a big grudge? Even the little dragon doesn't know he can misjudge people."

When faced with Lin Xiuyuan's words, Park Jiyeon gave him a completely unexpected answer.

“Oppa, you’ve started talking to her.”

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned into silence by those words.

Meanwhile, in the computer room on the second floor.

Sulli looked at Lin Xiaolu, who had suddenly pulled her into her arms, glanced at the news of 'her' death on the computer, and smiled slightly, "Unnie, this isn't me. Hara unnie and Jonghyun oppa are still alive."

"Yes, thankfully you're all still here."

Lin Xiaolu quickly composed herself and released Shirley, only the slight bloodshot in her eyes indicating her emotional instability. Before seeing the news of her death, she had already witnessed Jessica's departure from the group, Taeyeon's family troubles, and the group's disintegration.

Now that she has read all those devastating death reports, she has started looking into Yoona's first publicly acknowledged relationship.

Looking at that so-called "national little brother," staring at the shocking incidents about him listed on the webpage, I slowly scrolled to the bottom of the website.

Finally, she frowned slightly and said softly, "He has indeed been pursuing me recently."

"Ok?"

Shirley, standing nearby, was somewhat surprised. "So early? I thought you two wouldn't have started dating until the end of the year or next year."

"The other party hasn't revealed their hand yet, they're only contacting me via text messages, but anyone with eyes can see why they're putting so much effort into it."

Although Lin Xiaolu is young, she is already 23 years old. After so many years of hard work and experience, she has met all kinds of people.

She saw right through Lee Seung-gi's little scheme.

However, the group has been busy with their tour recently, so the two haven't had many offline meetings. But if it weren't for this 'Journey to the Future', Lin Xiaolu considered her own situation and realized she might actually have accepted him.

After all, Lee Seung-gi was quite popular and well-known in 2013. He had taken care of her on shows many times in previous years and there had been some CP (couple) hype.

In addition, the other party also has a lot of connections and resources.

After comparing several options, Lin Xiaolu felt that if she hadn't learned all this now, she probably wouldn't have been able to refuse.

"Then, unnie, what are you doing now..."

"Of course I refuse now. Publicly announcing this person's choice before is now a black mark, and it's the kind that will only get bigger and bigger."

After reading this news article, Lin Xiaolu flipped through several more, her face growing increasingly nauseous.

Finally, after seeing the major incident involving the other party's wife, he was completely speechless and closed the webpage, then silently began to process the information.

Just then, a faint sound drew Lin Xiaolu's attention.

Shirley was looking at her phone, tapping away with a slightly amused expression, as if she were making a message.

So he asked curiously, "Shirley, what are you doing?"

When asked, Shirley looked up at her, then placed her phone in landscape mode in front of her, allowing Lin Xiaolu to see herself wearing a dress on the screen.

Then, Sulli's laughter came, "Unnie, I was watching Yoona unnie's birthday party live stream, and then you were sitting next to me, hahaha, it feels really weird."

At this moment, Lin Xiaolu looked at herself on the screen, and the inspiration she had just received from Park Jiyeon downstairs suddenly burst forth.

So he took the phone and asked, "Shirley, can I post something using this account?"

"Sure, what do you want to say, unnie?"

Without thinking too much, Sulli nodded, assuming that the little deer unnie next to her was just curious about the live stream process.

Lin Xiaolu scoffed twice, "Heh, don't worry, I'll definitely say some nice things about her."

2 minute later.

While Yoona was busy livestreaming to her fans in a room somewhere in Seoul, she suddenly saw a devilish message floating across the screen.

My face is swollen, my eye bags are heavy, I've gained weight, and most importantly, I'm a year older. Tsk tsk, I think I'd be better off using the name Yoona; there's no need to be so respectful of elders!!!
