Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 381 Surprise
the next morning.

"Hey, who is this? What a rare guest!"

"Do you still remember that you have a company and you still know to come here?"

"Forehead"

Huang Xu had just entered his uncle's office when he heard his uncle teasing him. He touched his nose a little embarrassedly and quickly explained to his uncle.

"Sorry uncle, I was really busy recently and neglected this place a bit."

"And didn't I come here right after I finished my work?"

"Did you neglect that? I think you completely forgot about this place?"

"And if I hadn't called you, would you have forgotten that you still have a company?"

"Forehead"

"You are a major shareholder of the company, don't you know how to pay attention to the company?"

"What would you do if something happened to the company?"

"If it comes to this, it will be a business worth several hundred million, right?"

"Aren't you here?"

"With you here, I have nothing to worry about."

"You, forget it, just take a look at the company's situation during this period."

Looking at Huang Xu's smiling face, Huang Wenfu revealed a sense of happiness despite his helplessness.

I am happy because Huang Xu trusts me.

Although the two are uncle and nephew, with the development of the company, its scale has become very large and the funds involved have reached hundreds of billions of won.

If converted into Chinese currency, it would be more than 200 million.

I believe that this amount of money is a fortune that cannot be ignored no matter who it is in the hands of. Some people may even keep an eye on the money 24 hours a day for fear that any problems may arise.

But what about Huang Xu?
After the initial stage was completed, they no longer cared about the money.

Even if I hadn't called him to come back, it would have been unknown when he would come to the company.

As for the helplessness, it was because Huang Xu let go too thoroughly.

I ignored the company for a month or two and left all the tasks to myself, which put me under a lot of pressure and responsibility.

He was originally just a cook.

For the past ten or twenty years, my work has always revolved around the kitchen. When I had the most power and responsibilities, I was only managing a kitchen of seven or eight people.

What now?
In less than a year, he was managing hundreds of billions of wealth, more than 400 franchise stores, and nearly 400 employees.

You can imagine how much pressure he is under now.

And he has to deal with Huang Xu, a hands-off boss.

It can be said that during this period of time, he couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and lost a lot of hair.

Huang Xu looked at his uncle's complicated eyes, took the document decisively, then lowered his head to check it, avoiding looking at him.

As the boss of the company, how could he not know the current situation of the company?

He also managed the company during the time when his uncle was back home, and he knew how many things needed to be dealt with every day.

Now that he has finally found his uncle, a capable candidate whom he can trust, there is no way he will let his uncle go.

If my uncle ran away, all these tasks would fall on me, which makes me feel hopeless just thinking about it.

Besides, my uncle is only in his forties, not yet fifty, so it is a good time for him to work hard.

After spending more than ten minutes checking the company's information, Huang Xu already understood the catering company's development in the more than one month he was away.

The first franchise product is Malatang.

Although there are Malatang shops everywhere in Seoul now, the taste here is more authentic and it is the original check-in shop, so business is generally good.

There are more than one hundred franchise stores in total, and except for a few that have closed due to poor business, the business is basically good.

It can be said that they are now the number one brand of Malatang in Seoul.

Next is their newest pickled fish shop.

Not to mention the directly-operated stores, which opened relatively early and have good locations, and with the advantage of low prices, it can be said that business has never been bad since it opened.

The 300 franchise stores are now basically open, and their business is doing well.

Not to mention those with good locations, those shops in not so good locations are also doing decent business now.

Although the selling price is relatively cheap and the profit margin is not very high, the return on investment is still acceptable due to the high turnover rate, almost no waste of personnel expenses and materials.

Even now, many people have started to consult them about the second round of franchising.

Seeing this, Huang Xu looked up at Huang Wenfu.

"Uncle, how many people want to join the Pickled Fish franchise now?"

"Quite a few, especially in the past few days, many people have called to inquire."

"It seems that our store business is really good!"

"These people are getting a little impatient now that they see the profits to be made."

Huang Xu also remembered that before leaving Seoul last time, Kim Jong Kook came to him and said that someone wanted to get to know him.

It seemed like they saw that Ji Seok-jin's shop was making money, so they wanted to join in.

But then he remembered another problem.

"Uncle, do you think we can open it up again now?"

"what are you thinking?"

Huang Wenfu did not directly answer Huang Xu's question, but threw the question back with a smile.

"You are the boss of the company now. Do you have any plans for the future development of the company?"

"Should we continue to expand our business and become bigger and stronger?"

"Or should we just keep the status quo?"

"I"

"It's okay, don't worry, you can think about it slowly, and tell me when you have figured it out."

Seeing the confusion on Huang Xu's face, Huang Wenfu was not anxious, but asked Huang Xu to go back and think about it slowly.

Huang Xu also nodded, and then chatted briefly with his uncle about the company's situation before returning to his office.

Sitting in a clean and bright office, Huang Xu looked directly at the scenery outside the window and fell into deep thought.

He now had to think carefully about the question his uncle had just asked.

After all, this matter involves too much, and there are many things to consider.

By noon, he hadn't made a decision.

Huang Wenfu did not force Huang Xu, but asked him to think it over and tell him.

In the afternoon, Huang Xu, who had been sitting there for the whole morning, left the company in a somewhat irritable mood and returned to Longshan Apartment.

"what's the situation?"

"Why are you all here?"

After entering the room, Huang Xu was stunned when he saw the members of Girls' Generation in the room.

There were only nine of them in total, but seven or eight of them showed up here today, filling the entire room.

Huang Xu was a little confused. When he left, the house was deserted. How come there were so many people suddenly?
However, the girls seemed not to notice Huang Xu's dull expression, and they all smiled and greeted Huang Xu.

"Hello, brother-in-law!"

"Hello, Brother-in-law Huang!"

"." "Hello, hello."

After hurriedly greeting them one by one, Huang Xu finally saw Sunny in the crowd.

"What's going on?"

Sunny saw the confusion in Huang Xu's eyes, took Huang Xu's bag with a smile, and continued to explain.

"Isn't this our time to rest? They don't have much to do at home, and they can't go shopping, so they come here to play together."

"alright."

Huang Xu listened to Sunny's explanation and expressed his understanding.

As the most popular girl group at the moment, they seem very glamorous and very popular, and there are many people following them wherever they go.

But correspondingly, they also have many restrictions.

For example, we must be very careful in our daily life.

When most people are taking a break, they can go shopping, eat, watch movies, or even go traveling.

But now they can't enjoy this kind of pleasure. When they have a rest, they can only stay at home unless they go to places with fewer people or go abroad.

Or maybe, after a few years, when they are out of fashion and no one pays attention to them anymore, they will naturally be free.

So Huang Xu is quite understanding towards them.

As for why they came here instead of going back to the dormitory, of course it’s because there are a lot of fun things here.

Not to mention that the combined area of ​​the two apartments is more than 1.5 times that of their dormitory. Just the various entertainment facilities here are incomparable to those in their dormitory.

All the games that they used to play in the dormitory have now been moved here by Sunny.

In addition to those games, there are also toys that they have never seen before but are extremely fun: mahjong.

Although they had only played this ancient chess and card game a few times, or some had never played it before, they were all attracted to it.

Some people have even become addicted.

This is also the reason why so many people came at once.

In addition to various games and mahjong, there are also a lot of fitness equipment in the apartment next door.

For Huang Xu, these devices may just be a warm-up or something, and there is no way for him to enjoy them.

But for these female idols, it is enough.

There are various aerobic fitness equipment, as well as Pilates equipment for body shaping, which can be said to be very complete.

It is enough to meet their exercise requirements.

For example, Kim Taeyeon and Kwon Yuri came here to work out.

After finding out the whole story, Huang Xu took out a variety of fruit drinks, as well as various snacks and specialties to entertain everyone.

In addition, everyone was familiar with each other, so for a while, the apartment was very lively.

But after Huang Xu stayed there for a while, he felt a little irritated.

On the surface, having all kinds of charming girl group idols in the room should be a pleasant thing.

After all, their looks and figures are indeed good.

Plus, it's summer now, and their brothers are all wearing vests and hot pants, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

Logically speaking, Huang Xu should be enjoying himself.

But Huang Xu now thinks that being with one or two people is pleasing to the eyes, and even with three or four, Huang Xu doesn't feel it is a problem.

But there are eight of them here, and they are quite familiar to us, so the situation is a little different.

As the saying goes, three women are worth a thousand ducks, not to mention that there are eight of them here?

And these people are the eight girls from the Hongzi Group?

When Huang Xu just came back, it was fine as long as they didn't let go, but after they became thoroughly familiar with each other, the situation became different.

Looking at the bustling living room that seemed like a vegetable market, Huang Xu was dumbfounded.

"Are you guys like this all the time?"

"Well, it's a bit uncomfortable."

Looking at Huang Xu's expression, Sunny felt a little regretful at this time.

She has been with her teammates for several years and can be said to have gradually become accustomed to their noise.

And she may be the noisier character in the movie.

But seeing the discomfort on Huang Xu's face, she also felt a little apologetic.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."

"It's okay. It's not easy for them to come here. Opportunities like yours are rare."

Huang Xu waved his hands and gently kissed her forehead to indicate that he was fine.

Then he patted her back gently and said to her.

"Go play with them. I'll help you cook. We'll have a big dinner tonight."

"Ok!"

Sunny looked up at Huang Xu, then stood on tiptoes, gently touched the corner of Huang Xu's mouth, and then happily ran to her teammates.

Huang Xu looked at Sunny's cheerful back, shook his head, and muttered something in his heart.

"Play now. You won't have this kind of free time during this period of time."

Thinking back on her and Lee Soo-man's plans, it is foreseeable that their lives will be very difficult in the future.

The Chinese market is not comparable to the Korean market. If they can become famous, I believe that in the next one or two years, except for Sunny, the rest of them will be either on schedule or on their way to schedule.

It is basically impossible to play cards and games so leisurely.

So after Huang Xu said something to them again, he left the apartment directly and prepared to buy some ingredients.

He now planned to make amends to them with a big meal.

In the evening, Huang Xu prepared a big meal and entertained Sunny's teammates. The party lasted until after eleven o'clock in the evening.

After sending them downstairs, Huang Xu and Sunny returned to the apartment.

As soon as Sunny entered the room, she threw herself on Huang Xu.

"Huang Xu, thank you so much for coming today. It's really troublesome for you to have so many people come."

"And you didn't get angry even though they were so noisy."

"You are really..."

"What? Are you suddenly giving me the nice guy card?"

Huang Xu smiled and rubbed Sunny's hair, then looked at Sunny with a reproachful look.

"They are all your teammates and your closest friends. How can I be annoyed with them?"

"What's more, Taeyeon is inside?"

"It's so kind of you!"

Sunny looked at Huang Xu, her eyes full of gratitude.

This kind of boyfriend who understands her and doesn't spoil her fun is too destructive to her.

And thinking back to Huang Xu's consideration for her, Sunny's face was filled with happiness.

Then, getting excited, he leaned over and spoke directly into Huang Xu's ear.

"Go take a shower first, I'll have a surprise for you later."

"???"
