The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Xu Xian is really too dedicated to his work. This is definitely worthy of praise. Who taught him this?

To put it bluntly, Li Menglong believed that he should have at least half of the credit, and now it was time for him to reap the rewards.

Xu Xian's merits have become Li Menglong's sustenance at the moment, especially when she sees that everyone has begun to discuss where to eat, but she still has no reaction. She must have forgotten it, right?

In order not to give Xu Xian any reminder, Li Menglong planned to make himself disappear without the other party's notice.

It's not difficult to do this. After all, there are so many people in the office. He can just follow some people and walk out.

After confirming that Xu Xian was not paying attention here, Li Menglong quickly took action.

The people around him were a little surprised by his sudden appearance, but they soon understood what the other person meant. Did he want to follow him to eat and drink for free again?

Everyone has long been used to this. With such a leader on the stand, what can they do?

Fortunately, Li Menglong is really generous with overtime pay on weekdays. Basically, he has to make up some extra time every time, which gives them an extra income.

How should I describe this feeling? It's as if the company doesn't belong to Li Menglong. It's not his money anyway, so I don't feel bad about it no matter how I use it.

This is relatively rare. After all, "voluntary" overtime work is popular in other companies, but here they can not only receive full overtime pay, but also more.

This amount of money alone is enough to cover the cost of occasionally treating Li Menglong to dinner, and naturally everyone will have no objection.

Out of respect for Li Menglong, they planned to ask Li Menglong what he wanted to eat, and they could leave him the choice of lunch today.

But Li Menglong didn't want to attract any attention now, so he just said a few words and started urging them from behind. Why are you walking so slowly?

This attitude is a bit puzzling. They seem to be polite enough. Isn't Li Menglong still dissatisfied?

But who is the leader? Everyone dare not say too much, but there are always people who dare to speak for them.

When this group of people called out Xu Xian's name, Li Menglong knew something was wrong. Are they sick? Why call Xu Xian together?

But has he ever considered that Xu Xian is actually the more popular one, and on the contrary, he is the accessory.

Almost everyone wanted to have lunch with Xu Xian. Faced with everyone's enthusiastic invitations, Xu Xian could only say that he would try his best to meet everyone's requests. As for the method, he would just line up.

However, there is a way to jump in line, that is, those who were "blackmailed" by Li Menglong can invite Xu Xian to join them, which can be regarded as compensation for them.

Of course, these unspoken rules are tacitly accepted by everyone in class, and there is no actual verbal communication, so even Li Menglong is not very clear about them.

You are not stupid, why would you tell him this? Are you not happy for yourself?

And when Xu Xian looked over, she already guessed what was going on without even asking.

Does Li Menglong really think that she, Xu Xian, has a poor memory? It was only a few hours apart, how could she forget?

She just didn't expect that Li Menglong would escape. This method was too low-level. The key was that it was useless!

They eat near the company. Xu Xian can find out where Li Menglong is by just asking a few people. Is it difficult to call him back?

Unless Li Menglong runs away directly, the intensity of the war may escalate. This shouldn't be what Li Menglong wants to see, right?

"Thank you for the invitation, but I have an appointment with someone else at noon, so I'm sorry."

Xu Xian politely declined the other party's invitation, but Li Menglong's name did not seem to be mentioned in his words, which gave him some unrealistic fantasies.

"That's right, Xu Xian is so busy, why do you always bother her? Isn't it enough for me to accompany you?"

As he spoke, Li Menglong wanted to force the group to leave, but someone grabbed his sleeve from behind.

There was no need to look back. No matter who was behind, Li Menglong didn't want to face her. He wanted to leave now.

After realizing that he had no intention of stopping, the man behind simply stepped forward and hugged his arm. By this time, his identity was already quite obvious.

Who else but Xu Xian could do such an intimate thing to him in the office? In other words, who has the courage and is not afraid of being beaten?

"Have you forgotten, oppa? The person I made an appointment with is you. Do you need me to remind you?"

Although Xu Xian's tone was gentle, even the people around him could hear the chill in it, let alone Li Menglong who bore the brunt.

"Well...of course I remember, I plan to go downstairs to help you get takeout!"

Li Menglong gave an excuse casually, whether Xu Xian believed it or not was another matter. The key was that he had to show an attitude.

Even if the people around him didn't know the inside story, they could still tell that Li Menglong was going to suffer, so they all laughed happily.

This kind of mentality of watching the excitement is unacceptable. People like Li Menglong are famous for being petty. Are you sure you want to offend him on this kind of thing?

Since this group of people "took action" first, don't blame him for Li Menglong's revenge: "That Xiaoxian, I think everyone is also interested in it, why don't you bring them with you?"

Faced with Li Menglong's proposal, Xu Xian was quite surprised, but due to her kind-hearted character, she did not refuse directly: "I did order a few more copies, but it shouldn't be enough for everyone to share, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Being able to eat with you is a blessing they earned in their previous life. If you don't believe me, ask them yourself and see if they are willing."

Li Menglong knew the thoughts of this group of people very well, otherwise how could he sell the girls' autographs at high prices?

Sure enough, the result was exactly as Li Menglong thought. After the group heard that they could have lunch with Xu Xian and Kim Taeyeon, they immediately became extremely enthusiastic.

As for what to eat and whether there is enough to eat, is this important? Even if they were watching them eat, they wouldn't be hungry.

Of course, this is just the most extreme idea. They realize that this may be Li Menglong's revenge, but they really don't care.

After all, there is no rule that lunch can only be eaten at noon. They can just find a chance to have a meal downstairs in the afternoon.

With this alternative plan in mind, the people at the scene followed behind the two of them, looking a little excited.

The girls upstairs haven't completely dispersed yet, mainly for handover. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in this space, who will be responsible?

The appearance of Li Menglong and Xu Xian is not surprising, but what is going on with those people behind them?

"Oh, they were curious about what the artists would eat for lunch, so they took them to eat together. It would be lively when there are more people."

Li Menglong was making sarcastic remarks on the side, while Yoona and the others who were about to have a big dinner all showed evil smiles at the same time.

Artists do have many details that can satisfy the imagination of ordinary people. For example, they can wear big-name clothes all the time, make relatively much more money, etc.

But this definitely does not include food. Even though they often go to high-end restaurants from time to time, how many bites can they take?

If possible, they would rather trade with ordinary people and let them go to high-end restaurants to "starve" while they eat rice and side dishes until they burp.

Between quality and quantity, at least when it comes to eating, girls undoubtedly prefer the latter.

"That's really the best thing. Remember to eat more at noon. If you feel it's not enough, call me and I'll bring it to you when I come back!"

Yoona said it quite generously, mainly because she was sure that these people would never want to eat the second box.

Judging from Yoona's instructions alone, everyone already regretted it, but they didn't know what the specific danger was. Isn't it just a meal, but could it also kill people?

Compared to the innocence of this group of people, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu's expressions were very ugly, as if someone owed money and refused to pay it back.

"Seeing as we are still familiar with each other, I advise you to leave now before it's too late."

While Xu Xian and Li Menglong went to get takeout, Kim Taeyeon lowered her voice and said this quietly, making the atmosphere of the scene extremely terrifying.

Do you all really regret it a little bit, or else you shouldn’t participate?

But Xu Xian had already walked in with a lunch box: "Why did you stand up? You are hungry, so eat quickly."

Facing Xu Xian's enthusiasm, these people couldn't even say no. At the same time, they were also vaguely curious about what they were eating that made Kim Taeyeon so miserable.

They really didn't understand it at first. After all, what they held in their hands was just a box of vegetable salad. It looked relatively high-end. There were many vegetables in it that they had never seen before.

What's the trouble with eating this kind of food? You can tell by looking at it that it's not cheap, so they immediately started eating it.

Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu were in sharp contrast on the same side. The two of them were picking through the lunch boxes, trying to find some "forage" they liked to eat.

"You two, don't play with food. Look at me, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Xu Xian tried to inspire the two women's sense of honor, but this method of provocation was obviously too young, and the two of them had no intention of speeding up at all.

On the contrary, the other people who were compared seemed to be encouraged by Xu Xian and ate more and more.

Li Menglong's state can be regarded as being in between the two. He neither eats too enthusiastically nor suffers too much pain.

In fact, seriously speaking, this thing is really not that scary. It is just a vegetable salad, but without corresponding seasoning.

To be precise, there are still some seasonings such as salt and lemon juice in it, but that's it. Don't even think about daily salad dressing and mayonnaise.

It is no exaggeration to say that the calories of those sauces have almost caught up with the vegetables themselves, and eating them will make you feel guilty.

It's just that I can't feel the guilt now, but I also can't feel the satisfaction of eating.

The people on the opposite side were still eating awkwardly at first, but their speed quickly dropped. Why did they still have half a box after eating so much?

Seemingly sensing the doubts of this group of people, Kim Taeyeon smiled treacherously at the side: "This is lunch, you have to be full. Do you think it is an appetizer before eating Western food?"

This box of vegetables was much more than they imagined, especially since Xu Xian had specifically told them that the net content in one box was at least two kilograms.

If you want to swallow two pounds of vegetables without any extra seasoning, it doesn't mean that you can finish it by just chewing a few bites.

Otherwise, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu have already done this, and why are they still picking and choosing?

Moreover, these few are unlucky. Even if they eat salads on weekdays, they are not so vegetarian. They usually bring some chicken breasts, dry bread and the like.

But this is not a special situation. In order to quickly return the two women to a safe weight, and at the same time to punish them a little, there is a "vegan" salad in front of them.

Xu Xian also felt a little embarrassed, so he went to the fried chicken restaurant below and ordered a few packets of ketchup.

Although this gesture was considerate, it was a bit disappointing. They thought Xu Xian was going to serve fried chicken, but this is the result?

But Ketchup, whom they disliked so much, was closely watched by Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu, as if they would pounce at any time.

These people were a little scared, so they cooperated and squeezed the ketchup into the salad. As a result, the two people picked up the package that they had thrown away, and then, as if they had found a treasure, they repeatedly tried to squeeze out some remnants from it.

This scene really makes people look stupid, and can even easily remind people of some bad images. It is just ketchup, do you need to cherish it to this extent?

But when they chewed repeatedly in pain, they understood what Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu had done before. They were really about to die.

And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, why do I feel bloated after eating so many vegetables? Logically speaking, it should be easy to digest.

After barely turning the vegetables in the box green, they were the last ones to finish eating, even Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu, who had been working hard, were ahead of them.

"How about it? Isn't the artist's meal healthy? Remember not to eat secretly during the meal, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted. Remember to come together in the evening. We will have dinner together before going back."

Kim Taeyeon extended the invitation very naturally, and it was obvious that she was very happy at the moment.

After all, when you are unlucky, as long as you can see someone who is even more unlucky than yourself, your mood will naturally feel much better.

When they heard that there was another meal in the evening, the faces of this group of people almost turned green:

"I'm sorry, I made an appointment with my family for dinner tonight, but I really can't refuse it. Let's make the appointment another day."

"I have a new girlfriend. As you all know, you must not miss this kind of occasion."

"I can stay, but I'm not sure about my work in the afternoon. Maybe there will be some temporary..."

Several people gave various reasons. The core meaning is that there is no time. It is best for Kim Taeyeon to find someone else. There are many stupid boys downstairs. Do you need their help to make a dinner appointment?
