Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

As expected of a daughter of a famous family, she is so well-mannered!

Qiu Cixian looked at Iwasaki Junko in surprise. To be honest, she also felt that Li Shuo was too "relaxed". She was the eldest daughter of the Iwasaki family, a super tycoon in Japan. Although the other party might not say that he was rude, at least he lacked respect for the Iwasaki family.

As for national hatred and family feuds? Qiu Cixian doesn't care about this. Almost all the financial groups in South Korea are related to Japanese capital and Wall Street capital. The country has long been colonized by Western society in terms of ideology.

Li Shuo ate by himself and said casually: "The taste is okay, but not as good as I imagined... Most luxury foods are of this nature. People don't eat for the taste, but for the scarcity of the ingredients..."

Iwasaki Junko raised her eyebrows. She was very particular about "eating" and couldn't help but retort, "The scarcity of ingredients is caused by the fact that they taste so good that people consume them in large quantities. Therefore, scarce ingredients must be delicious..."

"But there is also a degree of taste. For example, there are ordinary steaks, Australian beef, and Japanese Wagyu beef. Japanese Wagyu beef is the most expensive and the tastiest, but its price is a hundred times that of Australian beef and a thousand times that of ordinary steak. In fact, is it a thousand times more delicious than ordinary steak?"

“Deliciousness is emotional. For those who like it, it may really be a thousand times more delicious!”

"Ms. Iwasaki, you are just making excuses. In our country, it's called being stubborn."

"Mr. Li, you mean cheap ingredients are cost-effective, and I mean expensive ingredients must be delicious. We are not in conflict."

"alright, you win."

As Li Shuo "admitted defeat", Iwasaki Junko couldn't help but choke, and instantly didn't know what to say. She talked about cooking just to ease the atmosphere, but Li Shuo ended up saying the final word.

"Ms. Qiu Cixian? I heard you are a star in South Korea?"

"Artist, I am not outstanding in South Korea..."

Iwasaki Junko turned around and started chatting with Qiu Cixian. The two women seemed to hit it off and were chatting quite enthusiastically.

Perhaps it was because Li Shuo did not think highly of the food, and the chef Yoshino who served the food was stimulated. In any case, Li Shuo could feel that the portion of the food served had increased slightly, and the taste had also improved. It was not the effect of the seasoning, but rather an improvement in the nature of the ingredients.

After realizing this, Li Shuo was a little surprised: Am I such a picky person?

"This is Japanese matsutake soup, the last soup of this meal..."

When Chef Yoshino pushed the bowl of soup in front of Li Shuo, Li Shuo asked curiously, "Why do I feel that the taste is getting better and better? The dishes you served me at the beginning used ordinary ingredients, and the ones you used later were the ones that were airlifted in?"

"Uh, how is that possible! We use the best ingredients for you!"

Master Yoshino said this, but his shocked expression at the beginning had already proved Li Shuo's guess.

"Okay, maybe I tasted it wrong, but I have a very picky palate, especially when it comes to Japanese cuisine that doesn't use a lot of chemical seasonings. The more authentic the food is, the better I can tell whether it's good or bad."

Li Shuo did not pursue the matter. After all, this was just a midnight snack. He was already very satisfied with the current situation.

Of course, the food that Chef Yoshino later served tasted really good, so he might come here to eat again in the future, so he ordered two extra dishes.

These words brought up a new topic, and Junko Iwasaki asked:

"Oh? Did Li Jun find anything? Uncle Yoshino, what ingredients did you use before?"

Seeing that the number of customers was gradually decreasing and only three people were left at the bar, Yoshino whispered, "At first, we used imported ingredients. Perhaps because they were frozen, the taste may have been lost. Then it happened that the restock arrived today, so we used the ones that had just been airlifted..."

Imported ingredients? I'm afraid they were not purchased from wholesalers. He only used air-shipped ingredients after he commented on the food. After all, how can you air-ship ingredients at midnight?

Thinking this in his mind, Li Shuo smiled on the surface but did not point it out.

This time, Iwasaki Junko was quite surprised: "Mr. Li, can you really taste it?"

“It just feels like this thing isn’t accurate.”

"But being able to taste the freshness of the ingredients sounds incredible. In two days, the National Cooking Competition will be held in Lenghai. Are you interested in participating? You can participate as a gourmet. To be honest, I am the largest sponsor of the National Gourmet Association!"

"Gourmet Association? Gourmet?"

"Yes, all gourmet certifications across the country are issued by the Gourmet Association."

I see. No wonder Japanese cuisine is so expensive in China. You guys have monopolized the concept of "delicious"!

Li Shuo muttered in his heart, "The "gourmet" certificate is quite impressive. Since it belongs to the "expert professor" level, it is quite difficult to certify. But after the certification is completed, you can basically eat and drink for free all over the country. Most hotels and restaurants will treat "gourmets" like masters.

He never expected that after eating a meal of Japanese cuisine, he would receive such a certification invitation!

"Let's talk about it later. I just returned to Lenghai and need to deal with many things. I can't get away for the time being..."

Iwasaki Junko looked at Li Shuo deeply. She was not a masochist. She just had high hopes for Shuo Guo and wanted to cooperate with Li Shuo. That’s why she visited him three times, but…

The first time he confessed his identity, he earned Li Shuo's hostility. The second time he commented on Japanese cuisine, he was ignored by Li Shuo. The third time he invited a gourmet to certify it, Li Shuo shied away.

Even though Iwasaki Junko liked "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" very much, she couldn't hold it back anymore. She nodded without saying anything more. After Li Shuo finished his soup, he stood up. Seeing this, Qiu Cixian also hurried forward.

"Bill, please"

Li Shuo's voice came from outside. Iwasaki Junko, who was planning to treat guests, did not move. Master Yoshino smiled and said, "Miss, are you not going to make friends with this person?"

Iwasaki Junko shook her head and said, "The value he has shown now is not enough for me to continue taking action."

"What a pity. The ingredients I'm going to use later are the ones I prepared for you, but the front desk calculated that it should be the price of an ordinary banquet meal..."

Iwasaki Junko laughed and said, "I don't plan to make money from him..."

"But that person's words are indeed very sharp..."

After chatting for a while, Iwasaki Junko suddenly received an email on her phone. She opened it and raised her eyebrows: "Li Shuo wrote another song?"

"Oh?"

Iwasaki Junko unfolded her phone and said with a strange expression, "He completed a song called "Ordinary Diaco" in Beijing, and was even invited by Sony to publish it..."

"Sony, among all the large companies controlled by Jin Yao Hui, only Sony Music has assets far away from the local market..." Master Yoshino said meaningfully.

As Junko Iwasaki listened, her eyes sparkled with a strange light:

After World War II, the 6 Group was divided up by the United States, so it adopted a strategy of breaking the whole into pieces. The core equity flowed from the Iwasaki family to the Jin Yao Hui, which was composed of senior executives of major companies. In the 70s and s, the Iwasaki family rose again, and the landmark event was that the head of the Iwasaki family regained control of the Jin Yao Hui.

After the Plaza Accord, the Iwasaki family once again lost control of the Jin Yao Hui, and the shares of the Sanling Group were scattered. The Jin Yao Hui was caught in internal strife, and the Iwasaki family withdrew its capital from Japan.

To this day, the Iwasaki family has been implementing the "overseas survival" strategy and has been trying to control the overseas assets of the 30 Group. After all, it was once the owner of the 30 Group, so the strategy execution is quite good, but it is still powerless against a super multinational group like Sony Music.

If they can control Sony, no, even if they only acquire shares in Sony China, the Iwasaki family's power may expand upwards, gradually eroding the entire Sony Music, and then returning to Japan through Sony Music!

Iwasaki Junko shook her head, knowing that this was an unrealistic fantasy. If she could control Sony China, it wouldn't be so difficult to recruit Li Shuo...

In a small hotel not far from Iwasaki Restaurant, Qiu Cixian collapsed in Li Shuo's arms with a long exhalation...

After a while, she managed to gather her strength and asked Li Shuo, "Do you want to clean it?"

"The faucets in the bathroom here are all broken, where can I clean them?"

"Ah? It seems so..."

"Don't worry, we won't stay here. After you rest for a while, we'll go back to the hotel..."

"But I feel sore all over."

"Let's chat..."

"Well, Iwasaki Junko is pretty, and she seems to have a gentle personality. Why are you so indifferent to her..."

Qiu Cixian was just a random topic for conversation, but the first sentence hit a landmine!

Li Shuo frowned and said, "How you want to date her is up to you. I don't like these Japanese chaebols!"

"oh oh"

Qiu Cixian quickly changed the topic and talked about Choi Yoon-jeong: "...her university, Sungkyunkwan University, is very famous in South Korea. If Seoul University, which ranks first, produces prosecutors and civil servants, then Sungkyunkwan University not only produces talents in the economic field, but also many people in the field of culture and art. It has film and television and drama academies..."

"However, compared to Seoul National University, Sungkyunkwan University has higher tuition fees and greater expenses. It is the second most expensive aristocratic school after Ewha Girls' School..."

Li Shuo raised his eyebrows: "Then her family conditions are pretty good, right?"

"More than good, most families in South Korea can't afford aristocratic schools! Not to mention that she is an exchange student, and my translator's daily clothes and bags are all very expensive brands..."

"Is it expensive? I can't tell. But my Xian'er can't be outdone by her own translation. I'll take you shopping tomorrow and we'll buy a few more sets..."

"Hehe, Oppa is the best!"

The happy Choo Ja-seon was very talkative, chatting about everything from Choi Yoon-jeong to South Korean society and culture.

According to her, the gap between the rich and the poor in South Korea is huge. The rich are extremely rich, and the poor are really poor. Because of the greater capitalization, the poor are willing to sell everything they have to make money. Women go to dance halls to be prostitutes, and men directly mix in society. If they are lucky, they will be valued by rich people and work as dogs for them, but this is already a good way out.

This is somewhat different from the South Korea that Li Shuo knew. He thought that this might be due to time. South Korea in 11 was naturally not as developed as in later generations. But in fact, even in Li Shuo's previous life, South Korea was like this...

Because they were having a great time chatting, Qiu Cixian fell asleep in Li Shuo's arms without knowing when. Li Shuo was too lazy to move, so he called Li Qinghe who was waiting outside and asked him to rest nearby. Then he hugged the beauty and closed his eyes...

The next day, Li Shuo and his friend were woken up by noise. To be more precise, the environment of the small hotel was really bad. Since 6 a.m., the noise started again. However, unlike the last time in the small hotel, Li Shuo responded with domineering force, and his abundant energy made Qiu Cixian also make noise...

The voices from South Korean stars are indeed different from others. Once they are released, other voices are unconsciously reduced a lot...

At about 7 o'clock, Li Shuo walked out of the room with Qiu Cixian. Occasionally, they met a pair of students, a man and a woman. Both of them looked at Li Shuo with strange eyes...

"Oppa, do they know us?"

"Of course not, but they heard your voice..."

"what?"

"Your voice is too loud. I'm afraid the whole corridor can hear it. Besides, you are speaking Korean, so they can't understand..."

"Hate it, stop talking!"

Li Shuo's teasing made Qiu Cixian bury her head in his arms like an ostrich.

After a night in the small hotel, Li Shuo regained the comfortable feeling in Lenghai, so after returning to the car, he immediately called his counselor Jiang Shuying to ask for leave.

Jiang Shuying was so angry when she received the call: "You little bastard, you have to ask for leave every time school starts, right? No way!"

Li Shuo laughed and said, "When I was receiving my allowance, you called me Brother Shuo, but when I asked for leave, you called me a brat. Xiaoying, this is not right..."

"Who is your little Ying'er? Tell me, where have you been during such a long vacation?"

"Huh? Can't I be in Lenghai?"

"Tsk, if you were in Lenghai, I wouldn't have never seen you before! I've already reported to Shuoguo Culture and am now a consultant in the training department here. Besides, I asked Irene and she found out that you're not in Lenghai recently..."

Because he spends a lot of time tending the fish pond every day, the fish that are close to Li Shuo all know his whereabouts.

Li Shuo laughed: "Xiaoying'er, are you telling me that you were everywhere trying to find out about me during the holiday? Well, since you missed me so much, I will only take half a day off and go back to class in the afternoon!"

"Who is asking about you? Go to hell!"

Jiang Shuying hummed, but then said, "You must come back in the afternoon!"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang!"

A phone call with Jiang Shuying made Li Shuo feel a little excited, so he contacted Chen Yu, Min Yuerou and others before arriving at the place. He had too much fun last night and had not contacted them yet.

Chen Yu also returned to Communication University yesterday. Min Yuerou took Bai Lu to travel around the area during the holiday. Since Li Shuo and Wei Shuting were not in Lenghai, Lu Tingyu, Feng Linlin and others were very busy.

Finally, Li Shuo thought of someone and called Jiang Menghan...
