The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Now that the mother and daughter behind have unified their opinions, Li Menglong will naturally not come forward to be the villain.

Not to mention that there are indeed many things waiting for him in the company. Even if there is really nothing, he still has to agree.

Because this represents the goodwill of two people, once they refuse, it will inevitably make the other party a little disappointed.

Although I can't say how serious it is, why not make each other happy?

"Then I'll thank you two beauties for their understanding. Do you want anything to drink? I'll treat you!"

Xu Xian didn't react at all to Li Menglong's words. After all, she had heard even more disgusting compliments from Li Menglong.

What she is curious about now is her mother. Doesn't she feel that Li Menglong's words are too frivolous?

It was only after she raised her head that she realized her innocence. She might understand her mother better as a daughter.

But as a man, Li Menglong can also understand women's psychology at a certain level. For example, no woman, regardless of age or appearance, would hate being praised as a beauty!

Xu Xian's mother was no exception. She was just being modest: "You kid, don't talk nonsense. My aunt is already old and she will laugh if outsiders hear her!"

"What you said is inappropriate. If you go out with Xiaoxian, most people will recognize you as her sister!"

This becomes more and more exaggerated. Xu Xian does not deny that his mother does take good care of herself, but praise should also follow some basic logic.

Who are her Xu Xian's sisters? Even Seohyun himself cannot admit that her mother can be sisters with Kim Taeyeon and the others. It is too false!

Except for her, the other two people at the scene were very satisfied with this statement. The mother on the side almost had wrinkles on her forehead from laughing.

Only then did Xu Xian realize the flaw in her past knowledge. She always thought that Li Menglong could win the favor of parents because he was good to them, but now it seems that Li Menglong is also good at flattering!

Li Menglong was really bleeding today. Xu Xian saw with his own eyes the card Li Menglong took out from his pocket, and it was either the card of any of the girls or his legendary salary card.

It is said that even young girls rarely have the opportunity to see this card. Even Lee Soon Kyu, who has been transferring money into it on a monthly basis, has hardly enjoyed the benefits brought by this card.

Unexpectedly, thanks to his mother, he would receive such treatment today, which gave Xu Xian more impulse to spend.

"Give me a cup of Americano. Xiaoxian, it's a sweet potato latte, right? What's Auntie drinking?"

Li Menglong took the order skillfully and said that since he worked with the girls, his most pure business may be buying coffee.

I really don’t know how much coffee he has bought from him over the years. Anyway, in any slightly larger coffee shop, Li Menglong’s members there are all of the highest level.

As for why girls love coffee, there is no way. They always have to drink something when working outside, and coffee is always a little better than water, and it is more refreshing.

Moreover, coffee is also very suitable as a gift for guests. The price is moderate, the taste is consistent, there are enough stores around and the food is served quickly.

So Li Menglong knew the tastes of girls very well. What he was asking now was what Xu Xian's mother meant, but Xu Xian didn't seem satisfied with Li Menglong ordering for her.

"Oppa, I don't want to drink sweet potato latte today. I'm tired of drinking this all the time. I want to change it!"

Faced with Xu Xian's words, Li Menglong didn't think too much. After all, he still trusted Xu Xian enough, but she seemed to be a little sorry for this trust.

"What does that hand-brewed coffee mean? Why is there no price on it?"

"This is a manual operation, using boiling water to slow down..."

Li Menglong didn't understand the specific details of this long introduction, but he clearly heard the word "expensive". This was clearly an IQ tax!

Li Menglong doesn't recognize this so-called high-end concept that is being hyped so much. He doesn't believe that the same thing tastes much better just because it is manually operated?

Just when Li Menglong was about to mock the store owner a little, he saw Xu Xian's kitten-like eyes. What did this mean? She wouldn't want to drink it, would she?

Li Menglong could only be glad that he hadn't had time to complain, otherwise the situation would have been even more embarrassing. As for now, it would only hurt his wallet at most.

"How much?"

When Li Menglong heard the final price, he couldn't help but ask again. Didn't the other party see that Xu Xian was a star, so he deliberately opened his mouth here?

The store owner seems to be very familiar with Li Menglong's reaction. After all, many people think that the price they charge is too expensive.

But Li Menglong opposite him shouldn't. Not to mention his income from other roles. As a director alone, he is already considered a successful person. How could he be surprised by such a small amount of money?

But if you think about it, you can understand that the reason why rich people have money is because they don't spend money randomly, especially in this situation of being taken for granted.

Then the boss started to tell Li Menglong about the price of their coffee. The most expensive parts are labor and coffee beans.

Li Menglong didn't quite understand the specific explanation, or he didn't quite understand it. After all, it was seriously beyond his knowledge.

So he just wants to ask one question now: "Xiao Xian is a big star, and he will probably post an update on social media soon. If it comes with photos of your store..."

While Li Menglong was talking to the boss, Xu Xian sat down in the corner with his mother. After all, the expensive coffee would have to wait for a while.

Although it was indeed a small trick on Li Menglong, she just saw that her mother had drunk half a cup of coffee, and she was a little thirsty: "Mom, give me a sip to taste!"

"If you don't give it, our cheap coffee might not be able to get into the mouths of big stars like you!"

"Mother!"

Xu Xian was very helpless at her mother's joke. She knew clearly that she was not this kind of person, but she was still talking nonsense here. If she didn't give him a drink, he wouldn't give it to her!

Faced with her daughter's cute and innocent appearance, Xu Xian's mother was naturally extremely doting on her, including the little game she had with Li Menglong just now.

"You insist on letting me spend more money to feel comfortable? With how much he dotes on you, he shouldn't feel too much about it, right?"

That's what Xu Xian's mother thinks. To put it in perspective, if Xu Xian wants to eat the most expensive thing when ordering something from her, then she will only be happy.

Faced with his mother's question, Xu Xian didn't know how to answer it for a while. After all, it was quite difficult to convince outsiders of Li Menglong's "poverty".

Besides, it’s hard to give a standard definition of Li Menglong’s “Schrödinger’s Poverty”. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to say that he doesn’t have a penny. Whether he goes to the company to get it or asks girls for it, he can get it. Take out a lot of money.

It just means that he is not short of money, and his life is tight every day. Just after Xu Xian ordered the most expensive coffee, Li Menglong's face turned dark, which can be seen in this.

Fortunately, Li Menglong came back in time and helped Xu Xian avoid answering: "Auntie, would you like to have a cup like Xiaoxian's? It is indeed a specialty of their store, and the taste should not be bad."

Faced with Li Menglong's enthusiastic suggestion, Xu Xian's mother still wanted to evade, but Xu Xian had already begun to find problems. There must be something wrong here!

It's not that Li Menglong can't be so generous, but this kind of relaxation from the heart is obviously not very scientific.

Unless Li Menglong just won a lottery or something, there is no way to explain his behavior at this moment.

In the end, under Li Menglong's warm invitation, Xu Xian and Xu Xian's mother drank all the most expensive coffees in the store, and packed another fifty cups of coffee when they left.

"How can this be done? You obviously have money to spend, but how can you use my name to give it to people in the company? Auntie can't do that!"

After hearing Li Menglong's suggestion, Xu Xian's mother naturally refused. Isn't this a blatant attempt to take advantage of Li Menglong?

But Li Menglong's suggestion made sense. As Xu Xian's parent, she went to the company to sit for a while. Although it was okay not to take something, it was still a courtesy to many people.

"Okay then, how much are these coffees in total? Auntie will give you this money, but you can't refuse it, otherwise I will be really angry!"

Xu Xian looked at her mother's strong appearance. She didn't know who to feel sorry for. Did Li Menglong feel bad about receiving the money?

Although they haven't communicated in detail yet, Xu Xian has roughly understood everything Li Menglong did, especially after he asked her to take a photo and post it online.

In fact, even if there are no follow-up actions, Xu Xian still doesn't believe what Li Menglong has done. It's not that he won't pay for Xu Xian's mother, and he won't use his own money to pay benefits to the people in the company.

So it is certain that he did not pay for these coffees himself, and if you think about it this way, it will be clear what the specific situation is.

She didn't resent Li Menglong's use of her popularity to "cash in" money, but after eating, the store came to her mother to collect money. Wasn't it a bit unethical to eat both sides?

But Xu Xian had wronged Li Menglong. If the girls were in this position, he might have to increase the price.

But Li Menglong still doesn't dare to have so many thoughts about Xu Xian's mother. He still respects his elders in general.

So he really wanted to give these coffees to the people in the company in the name of Xu Xian's mother. Anyway, in his opinion, it was something that cost nothing, so whoever gave it to him didn't give it away!

But Xu Xian's mother didn't understand, so Li Menglong didn't know how to explain it, so he could only keep pushing away. Even Xu Xian's mother became a little resentful after the incident.

Xu Xian naturally saw this, what could she do? Although it was very unfilial to help Li Menglong cheat money from his mother, you can't really watch these two people quarreling, right?

"Oppa, just listen to your mother. How much does this coffee cost in total? I think it should be more than one million, right?"

Although Xu Xian decided to come to Li Menglong's rescue, he still wanted to express his grievances a little, and this sentence is, are these coffees worth so much money?

Li Menglong knew it was not worth it. This was Xu Xian's warning to him, indicating that she knew all the tricks here. The fact that she could stand up meant that she was sensible, but it did not mean that she was stupid!

But Xu Xian's mother didn't think so much. It didn't matter if she had more money anyway. Xu Xian's family was quite wealthy.

Let’s not talk about Xu Xian’s own income. Xu Xian’s mother has her own job. This alone is enough to outperform many other families.

And there is only one daughter in the family, Xu Xian. Not only does this daughter not spend their money, but she also subsidizes the family a lot, so there is really no shortage of money.

Facing the generous mother and daughter at the back, Li Menglong felt for the first time that the money was burning on his hands, and he felt unsteady when holding it.

But if he said it out loud, it would be impossible for Li Menglong to take it back. In this case, he could only make decisions about Xu Xian.

"Xiao Xian, aunt has brought coffee to the company for delivery. As my aunt's daughter, isn't it inappropriate for you to go empty-handed?"

Faced with Li Menglong's question, Xu Xian didn't know how to answer, mainly because he couldn't figure out what he meant.

By the way, Xu Xian is still very kind to everyone in the company. She doesn't have the airs of a celebrity. On weekdays, it's just a trivial matter to ask her for autographs and photos. It's not uncommon for her to treat guests to snacks from time to time.

So there must be some reason for Xu Xian to treat us again, otherwise the colleagues would not be able to hold it securely, but not everyone is as thick-skinned as Li Menglong.

Seemingly sensing Xu Xian's confusion, Li Menglong quickly explained: "What I mean is that you take this money, auntie, and you can buy some things as a gift."

Now Li Menglong finally saw it. Seeing that he couldn't wait to give away the money, Xu Xian's mother did not speak again.

After all, the money theoretically belongs to Li Menglong, and now it is a problem between him and Xu Xian. However, based on her understanding of her daughter, Xu Xian should not accept the money.

In fact, Xu's mother guessed it right, but there were some minor differences in the reasons. Xu Xian's refusal to accept was not due to pride or other emotions, but because he wanted to see what Li Menglong would do in the end.

"I will pay for something to take with me. Thank you oppa for reminding me!"

Xu Xian sincerely thanked her here, but why did Li Menglong's ears sound full of sarcasm? This little girl really wanted to die without saving her, right?

"You won't be angry, will you? I also have my own ideas. If oppa is not satisfied, then I will listen to you!"

Xu Xian pretended to say here that it would be more perfect if she could shed two more tears. Unfortunately, she didn't have Yoona's magical ability.

But the tone of grievance was enough. With Xu's mother sitting aside, what could Li Menglong say, and what could he dare to say?
