Be reborn and be happy to the fullest
Chapter 449 Choi Yoon-jeong and Iwasaki Junko
Li Shuo II's evaluation of Choi Yun-jeong was quite pertinent: no matter how outstanding a student is, it is impossible for him to obtain such abundant information before entering society, nor is it possible for him to look at these issues from a macro perspective. Only families above the wealthy level can cultivate such an economic perspective under the guidance of their parents.
Unfortunately, Li Shuo just said it casually. Because he had already made plans for the future, he no longer cared much about knowledge and ability. To be precise, if Cui Yunzhen was good-looking and had a good temperament, she would get more of his attention.
At this moment, Cui Yunzhen turned her head from the front row with great reaction and said repeatedly: "President, you are too kind. I just heard it from others. There are many seniors in the school who are more capable than me... Uh, I didn't see anything!"
Li Shuo is the boss, so he naturally sat in the back seat of the Mercedes with Qiu Cixian. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and had already agreed to go to a small hotel, so Qiu Cixian was almost sitting on Li Shuo at this moment, and Li Shuo's big hand was completely immersed in Qiu Cixian's short skirt. This was also the reason why Cui Yunzhen turned back in time and changed her words.
But when she turned her head, Li Shuo's eyes lit up. The last time he met Cui Yunzhen was when he followed Si Jiawen to visit the crew. They just greeted each other briefly that time, and Li Shuo didn't look at the young translator carefully.
Only now do I realize that she has a distinctive and unique look, perhaps because of the artificial creation in South Korea. Her eyes are wide open and her big eyes are sparkling, cute yet sexy. She has a high nose bridge and rosy lips, but not as iconic as Li Yitong. She is more eye-catching, and the combination of facial features is more distinctive.
Overall, like the later Korean star Jennie, etc., could this guy be a member of a girl group later on?
Li Shuo felt a little confused. Unfortunately, although he liked South Korean girl groups, he only knew the most famous group leaders such as Lim Yoona, Bae Joo-hyun, and Kim Jennie. He couldn't even remember the names of other members, let alone what they looked like.
But it doesn't matter. Li Shuo asked directly, "I heard that hip-hop is very popular in South Korea, and now various boy and girl groups are being formed. You are not very old, do you know anything about these?"
"Of course, I like TVXQ, their songs..."
Cui Yunzhen immediately turned her head and was about to talk excitedly, but Li Shuo immediately waved his hand: "Stop! Can we talk about girl groups?"
"Girl group? Uh, there seem to be two more famous ones, but I haven't watched much of them..." Choi Yoon-jeong immediately became lazy.
Li Shuo couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this.
At this time, S350 arrived near Fudan University, and Qiu Cixian asked with concern: "It's so late, isn't the school closed?"
"Thank you for your concern, it's okay, I rented an apartment nearby... Well, goodbye, Boss..."
Cui Yunzhen quickly got out of the car, and waved goodbye to Li Shuo and the others with a sweet smile. She didn't pat her growing B cup until the car drove away. She said with lingering fear: "Good guy, you are worthy of being a man who can build his own consortium from scratch. You almost found out my identity..."
When she mentioned the "consortium", her tone was not as admiring and envious as Qiu Xiuxian and Jin Xizhen.
Because Choi Yun-jeong knew that in addition to the top super chaebols such as Samsung and SK, South Korea also had countless small and medium-sized conglomerates, which were roughly equivalent to large group companies at the provincial and municipal levels in China.
From what she knew, the Shuoguo Group was probably only a small "city-level" consortium. Although it controlled wealth that ordinary people needed to look up to, for her, the "Cui family", it was just like a child, so naturally there was no need to look up to it...
……
"Oppa, don't be surprised. In recent years, star-chasing has become increasingly popular in China. Almost every girl like Choi Yoon-jeong is a star-chaser, and they often like boy bands..."
On the S350, Qiu Cixian leaned in Li Shuo's arms and explained softly.
Li Shuo laughed and said, "I'm not that stingy, and it seems that Cui Yunzhen doesn't seem to be as crazy about chasing stars as ordinary South Korean girls..."
Qiu Cixian said: "It's like this, I feel she is much more mature than girls of the same age, maybe it's because she studied in China..."
"Is that so?"
Li Shuo felt something was wrong, but he didn't think about it any further. Choi Yoon-jeong was just a part-time translator and would end her cooperation with SN Entertainment after the project was completed. In addition, Li Shuo was not interested in recruiting talents and developing Shuoguo now, so it was enough for him to know that she was not an enemy.
"Where to go next?"
His question made Qiu Cixian stunned. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Oppa, didn't you say you wanted to find a small hotel?"
"Yes, but what you don't know is that I just returned to Lenghai, and I don't have any plans to take you out to play..."
"You just returned to Lenghai?"
Qiu Cixian was touched, and after thinking for a while she said, "How about we go eat something first? I know there's a good restaurant nearby, and it should still be open at this time..."
"My Xian'er is truly a model of a good wife and a loving mother!"
Li Shuo hugged Qiu Cixian and sighed. He came back in a hurry and indeed hadn't eaten dinner yet...
So the S350 quickly turned around and headed back to Caoshan. However, after arriving at the place, Li Shuo looked at the sign of "Iwasaki Cuisine" and had a strange feeling in his heart: he did not expect that Qiu Cixian's favorite restaurant was actually here.
The last time he met Yu Chengcheng, the first son of Lenghai, here, but Yu Chengcheng did not leave a deep impression on Li Shuo. Li Shuo even felt that he did not live up to his reputation. Instead, it was Iwasaki Junko he met who left a deep impression on Li Shuo.
The mysterious beauty is suspected to be related to the Japanese super chaebol 30, and Iwasaki's last name is also thought-provoking...
"Hello, are you open now? I want a private room..."
Qiu Cixian took Li Shuo into the restaurant, but the receptionist shook her head and said, "Sorry, the private room is full... But you can still dine in the hall. Do you want to order anything?"
"Oh"
Qiu Cixian looked at Li Shuo, and Li Shuo said casually: "You must be tired after walking for such a long time. Let's stay here and leave after we finish eating..."
Qiu Cixian nodded, and then ordered the meal directly at the front desk, and then took Li Shuo around the front desk and into the restaurant at the back:
Near the entrance to the front desk is a place similar to a bar counter. There is a middle-aged man working inside who looks like a bartender.
There are long tables and chairs surrounding the bar, where most of the customers are sitting. Some of them are chatting familiarly with the middle-aged man, but they are speaking Japanese.
In addition, the area away from the bar was empty, obviously because it was late.
"Mr. Li?"
A beautiful figure stood up. It was Iwasaki Junko, whom Li Shuo had just been thinking about. She was wearing a pure white modified kimono with some bulky parts removed. She looked simple, generous and extremely pure. Her entire temperament seemed like that of a pure saint, but it gave people a faint urge to defile her.
This is quite similar to the feeling Qiu Cixian gives people. Because she looks like a virtuous woman at home, people always want to turn her into a cheating slut.
"Ms. Iwasaki, it's nice to see you again."
"Who is this……"
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend Qiu Cixian, Xian'er, and this is Miss Iwasaki Junko, the owner of Iwasaki Cuisine..."
Because they met an acquaintance, Li Shuo and Qiu Cixian sat down at the bar naturally. Hearing that Li Shuo had not had dinner yet, Iwasaki Junko took the initiative to greet the middle-aged man at the bar and ordered food for Li Shuo. She also asked Qiu Cixian, and after getting the reply that she was not having dinner, she ordered a drink for her.
Then, Iwasaki Junko introduced to Li Shuo in a soft voice: "Master Yoshino is a very famous chef in Japan. When I was a child, I was very picky about food, so my father hired him to be my personal chef. Unfortunately, after he came to China with me, many raw materials had to be airlifted in, which was time-consuming and costly. I can no longer enjoy Master Yoshino's unique craftsmanship for every meal..."
The emphasis in the last sentence is on "every meal", which means that, at least for a period of time, the raw materials for the meals that Junko Iwasaki ate were all airlifted in. Even the richest people would not be so extravagant, not only because the cost is too high, but also because if it was like this for every meal, three times a day, over the years, the consumption would be an astronomical figure that is difficult to calculate.
After hearing this, Li Shuo's heart moved and he confirmed that Junko Iwasaki was at least from the Iwasaki family.
He said casually, "Ms. Iwasaki has worked so hard, but it's a good thing because this way, you will also have the opportunity to taste Chinese cuisine. Our Chinese cuisine has a wide variety of flavors. After trying it, I think Miss Iwasaki will be satisfied."
"Yes"
Iwasaki Junko nodded and said with a smile: "What I just said was my feeling when I first came to Lenghai. Now it seems that I was actually hypocritical, because most people are not like me, who can enjoy the personal care of professional chefs since childhood... When Li Jun said that I worked hard just now, was he scolding me in his heart?"
Li Shuo shook his head and smiled: "I was just wondering what kind of family can support such a luxurious life, and I didn't have time to curse you in my heart..."
"Forehead"
Since she met Li Shuo by chance, the gentle expression on Iwasaki Junko's face froze for the first time, as if she was very surprised. But after about 2 seconds, she shook her head and laughed, "This is nothing that needs to be concealed. Since this restaurant is called Iwasaki and my last name is Iwasaki, then I am naturally from the Iwasaki family. The current head of the family, Iwasaki Shoichi, is my father..."
"Oh! So you are the famous No. 1 family in Japan. I have heard of you for a long time..."
Li Shuo's behavior was a bit exaggerated, he even wanted to stand up.
"Mr. Li is wrong. The first family will always be the emperor..."
Iwasaki Junko quickly reached out to hold him down, and said gently: "Besides, Mr. Li should not be such a boastful person. You were able to start from scratch and create Shuoguo Group. You are a wise man who can be compared to our ancestors. You behave like this, is it because of the history of our country that you are hostile to me?"
This woman is obviously as pretentious as a princess in a castle, but I didn't expect that she has such insight into people's hearts.
Li Shuo restrained his exaggerated expression and said seriously: "Ms. Iwasaki, you used the wrong analogy. To Japan or your Iwasaki family, your grandfather is a capable man who has made great achievements, but to China, he is not a good person..."
The roots of Japan's big conglomerates all can be traced back to the Meiji period, and the Iwasaki family is no exception. Their development process is accompanied by Japan's history of aggression against other Asian countries. Perhaps these big conglomerates were not soldiers and did not directly invade, but they were also accomplices of the invaders.
Therefore, Li Shuo's words were already considered tactful. If he had the same personality as in his previous life, he would have pointed at her nose and cursed her.
Iwasaki Junko seemed to be used to such scenes. She was not embarrassed and smiled gently, "From the standpoints of both parties, this is indeed the case. I also understand Mr. Li, so I came to China to contribute to China's economic development. To be honest, during this period of time, I have invested in many Chinese companies, and I am even interested in investigating the Shuoguo Group..."
"If Mr. Li is interested, I can invest in Shuoguo Culture right now..."
Before she could finish, Li Shuo interrupted her and said, "No need to discuss this. The Shuoguo Department is not short of money!"
Besides, how could he not know the nature of Japanese capital? If he could not conquer China by force, he would erode China in terms of economy and culture. No matter how rich he was, he was Chinese at heart and would not help the evil.
Iwasaki Junko raised her eyebrows slightly. She understood Li Shuo's resistance after he knew about the Iwasaki family, but she didn't understand why Li Shuo refused to invest outright.
Logically speaking, since Li Shuo has developed the Shuoguo Group so well, he should be a standard businessman, and profit-seeking is his nature!
Regardless of whether the investment of big capital can support the development of the company, it is in itself an act of giving money away. Why did Li Shuo refuse the money when it was in front of him? In Junko Iwasaki's opinion, this was a foolish act and did not match the achievements Li Shuo had made now!
"It doesn't matter. I will always keep my kindness for Mr. Li. I hope we can become friends..."
As he was talking, Master Yoshino dragged a plate and brought it to Li Shuo...
Looking at the oval stone on the plate, there are thumb-sized granular foods on the stone, and some beautiful patterns with lettuce and sauce next to it...
Li Shuo picked up the chopsticks and ate it in just one bite.
This was his deliberate rudeness. Besides, it was just a midnight snack. Other people might not be used to seeing two beauties staring at them, but Li Shuo was accustomed to this kind of scene. Besides, he often went to high-end restaurants and had seen all kinds of good things. It was just the slightly expensive Japanese cuisine. How to eat it was up to the diners.
Qiu Cixian beside him raised her eyebrows and said nothing. Instead, she gently picked up the tissue, wiped Li Shuo's mouth, and whispered, "Eat slowly, don't choke..."
At this time, Chef Yoshino served another dish, which looked like seafood meat balls, with a dish of condiments next to it. Li Shuo still ate it in one bite.
His actions were rude and he ignored Qiu Cixian's advice, so the atmosphere on the scene became a little awkward.
Seeing this, Iwasaki Junko said softly: "Mr. Li, are you hungry? This is my fault. I ordered Japanese kaiseki cuisine for you. It is a simplified version of Honzen cuisine and Kaiseki cuisine... Well, the former two are more formal, but not suitable for your midnight snack. The kaiseki cuisine has fewer dishes, but each one is still a fine product..."
