Peninsula Landlord

Chapter 531 Huang Xu's Discovery and Conflict
One night later.

Inside the presidential suite where Huang Xu and Cui Zhenli stayed.

Choi Jin-ri sat alone by the window, looking at the bustling night view of the capital city outside the window, but she had no intention of appreciating it. Instead, she was troubled by a problem.

"Why is Huang Xu Oppa hiding from me?"

These two days, she found that Huang Xu seemed to be avoiding her.

Of course, this kind of avoiding doesn’t mean that he won’t meet me at all, but that he deliberately distances himself from me.

Just like when I was having breakfast yesterday morning, although I was still concerned about where I went during the day, whether I encountered anything delicious or fun, whether I had fun, etc.

But Choi Jin-ri could clearly feel that this kind of care was not the kind of care she wanted, but rather carried a faint sense of alienation.

This also made her, who was originally full of confidence and thought that she could easily defeat Huang Xu as long as she took action, become very frustrated.

She even began to waver in her confidence in whether she could defeat Huang Xu.

"Ah~~, how can I win over Oppa?"

"Oppa, do you like me or not?"

11pm.

The first floor lobby entrance of the hotel where Huang Xu and Cui Zhenli are staying.

As a black business car stopped, Huang Xu staggered out of it.

He waved away the driver who wanted to help him, and the doorman who ran over from a distance after seeing Huang Xu get off the car, and entered the hotel by himself.

Although Huang Xu looked drunk, he still remained basically sober. They did not force themselves to help him, but just kept an eye on him.

Only after he entered the elevator did she leave with peace of mind.

After entering the elevator, Huang Xu was still drunk and staggered back to the presidential suite where he and Choi Jin-ri were staying.

After he opened the door and entered the room, Huang Xu, who was drunk and unable to stand, instantly regained sobriety.

And the excitement he had suppressed for the entire night finally burst out at this moment, and he sighed.

"It wasn't easy. We finally settled everything. Now it's time to sign the contract!"

Yes, after two months of heated debate, he and Jia Yueting finally agreed on all the contract terms and it was time to sign the contract.

Although, when he met Jia Yueting for the first time, the two of them reached a cooperation intention.

Huang Xu has artists under his command, and he can attract more Korean artists, and he also has a certain ability to produce content, but he has no channels and no resources.

Jia Yueting has channels and resources, but no mature artists.

The collaboration between the two of them can be said to be a match made in heaven.

According to common sense, this kind of cooperation that is mutually beneficial to both parties should go very smoothly and not take so long.

But that's just common sense.

The reality is that faced with such a huge Chinese market and the gradually rising salaries of artists, both parties began a long-term tug-of-war over the various clauses in the contract.

There is no way. The market is too big, the expected returns are too high, and the contract involves many things.

In addition to the most important profit sharing ratio, there are also various financial settlements, copyright ownership, and tax declarations.

All of these need to be considered in great detail.

Otherwise, a seemingly insignificant clause may affect the profits not just tens or hundreds of millions.

This is also the reason why, even though the CEOs of both parties had already decided to cooperate, the contract has not been signed for so long.

Fortunately, after his hard work over the past few days, coupled with the enthusiasm of Tara and others and the audience's feedback, as well as Jia Yueting's compromise.

Finally this afternoon, they finalized all the contract terms.

Next, it only takes two days for James, the company's nominal boss, to come over and sign the contract, and the cooperation between the two parties can officially begin.

Not only can Tara and others' new variety show be broadcast on LeTV, but they can also officially use LeTV's relationships and channels to officially start performing in commercial shows in China and start helping Huang Xu make money.

And it's not just them.

According to the agreement between him and Lee Soo Man, they would wait until Tara and others opened up the Chinese market and made money.

He can use the achievements of several people to convince the board of directors of SM and the investors behind the company to sign the Chinese management contracts of SM's artists to the new company established by him and Jia Yueting.

It can be said that if this plan can be carried out smoothly.

So in the next two to three years, when Korean wave has the greatest impact on China and also makes the most money, Huang Xu can get a considerable share of the profits.

With this, he can guarantee a nine-digit income at the very least, and ten-digit income is not out of the question.

This is why Huang Xu is so excited now.

At the same time, he also developed a strong desire to talk and wanted to find someone to share his inner joy with.

This also made him realize that something was wrong.

"Where's Choi Jin-ri?"

"Isn't she in the room?"

Based on his understanding of Choi Jin-ri, when she heard him open the door, she would probably come out to check on him and show some concern for him.

But now I have been back for a long time and I still haven’t seen Choi Jin-ri, which is a bit strange.

"That shouldn't be the case. I remember Li Xue sent me a message saying that they would be back before eight o'clock."

"Did he go out again?"

"Or did she not hear me coming back?"

With doubts, Huang Xu quickly entered the suite and prepared to look for Choi Jinri to see if she was in the room.

Yes, he has been avoiding Choi Jin-ri these past two days.

But at that time he was frightened by her actions and just wanted Choi Jinri to calm down.

It’s not that he doesn’t care about Choi Jin-ri anymore.

She was able to come to China alone with me, to this foreign country for her.

If something happened to her, how would he explain it to Goo Hara, Sunny and the others?
And even if it is his own level, I'm afraid he can't get through it.

Fortunately, his worries did not last too long. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Choi Jin-ri sitting next to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, staring at the night view of the capital.

On the coffee table next to her, there were various snacks and teas, and she looked very leisurely.

Seeing this scene, Huang Xu's heart, which had been hanging in the air just now, immediately relaxed.

However, just as he tiptoed behind Choi Jin-ri, ready to say hello to her and give her a surprise, he saw her expression full of loneliness and desolation.

"What happened to the truth?"

After seeing Cui Zhenli's eyes, Huang Xu's heart suddenly tightened and he immediately became alert.

Although, her current expression was nothing compared to the heartbreaking expression he remembered.

But compared to her smile that came from the heart two days ago, it was very different.

This also made Huang Xu think urgently.

"What happened to Zhenli?" "Did anything happen in the past two days?"

"How did it suddenly become like this?"

"."

After standing there for a long time thinking, Huang Xu still couldn't figure out what went wrong that made Choi Jinri become like this.

There's no way. Who made him deliberately avoid Choi Jin-ri these two days? He might not be very familiar with her schedule and mood changes.
While Huang Xu was standing next to Choi Jin-ri and thinking about the reason, Choi Jin-ri, who was looking out the window in a daze, also discovered Huang Xu behind him through the reflection on the glass.

After quickly turning her head to look at Huang Xu, and confirming that she was not mistaken, Cui Zhenli's face instantly filled with a bright smile.

"Oppa, you're back?"

"Why didn't you call me when you came back?"

"I saw you enjoying the night view and I couldn't bear to disturb you~!"

Looking at the smile on Choi Jin-ri's face, Huang Xu responded with a smile after a brief pause.

Then he asked her as if nothing had happened.

"How is it? Compared with Seoul, are you disappointed by the night view of Beijing?"

"How could I be disappointed? The night view of the capital is so beautiful~!"

"Compared to Seoul, in addition to various high-rise buildings, there are also many ancient buildings here. It looks more beautiful than Seoul."

“And there are so many more”

In response to Huang Xu's question, Choi Jin-ri also praised the night view of the capital very sincerely.

Of course, this is also her true feeling.

To be honest, because she had come to China twice with Huang Xu before, she had a certain understanding of China.

We know that the real China is not as backward as portrayed by the Korean media. Instead, it is as developed as South Korea, and even surpasses it in some aspects.

But after arriving in Beijing and touring the city for two days, I couldn't help but be shocked by this city, a fusion of ancient and modern elements.

In addition to Huang Xu's distance from her in the past two days, she is now full of desire to talk, and she seems to be talking endlessly.

Huang Xu saw that Choi Jin-ri was talking so happily and had no intention of stopping her. He changed the topic from the night view of the city to where Choi Jin-ri went and what delicious food she had eaten today.

However, the conversation between the two did not last long.

Because Choi Jin-ri smelled alcohol coming from Huang Xu, she suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped chatting.

"Sorry Oppa, I forgot you were out drinking today and was too busy chatting with you."

"Oppa, are you thirsty? Let me get you a glass of water."

He first apologized to Huang Xu, then trotted to get a cup, ready to pour water for Huang Xu.

Huang Xu looked at Cui Zhenli's back, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

When he was with Choi Jin-ri before, although she was very sensible and would often help him.

But compared with her current considerate and caring attitude, it is still far behind.

It even gave Huang Xu the illusion that she was like a wife in a traditional Japanese family, serving her husband.

Huang Xu also tried to stop it, but to no avail.

That's why he has to stay away from Choi Jin-ri now.

You should know that his official girlfriends, Goo Hara and Sunny, have never provided him with this kind of service.

However, Huang Xu did not dwell too much on this matter, but instead recalled the change in Choi Jinri's expression just now.

Thinking back to the moment she saw me, her expression changed from dejected to happy.

Thinking of this, he seemed to understand something and then gave a bitter smile.

"What the hell is going on~!"

So after Choi Jin-ri came back with the cup of water, Huang Xu chatted with her for a while, then ended the conversation hastily, using the excuse that he had drunk too much.

After returning to the room, Huang Xu washed up and lay on the bed, still thinking about what he had just discovered.

If an ordinary person could be liked by a beautiful girl like Choi Jin-ri, it would definitely be something worth celebrating.

It can even be said that if I was liked by Choi Jin-ri a year ago, it would be a happy thing.

But now, it’s not a year ago.

And now that he thinks back, it seems that it's not just Choi Jin-ri's own problem. There's obviously something wrong with Goo Hara and Sunny as well.

Did the two of them really have no idea about Choi Jin-ri's situation?
In addition, the fact that Choi Jin-ri followed him to China alone this time was also full of doubts.

Yes, Choi Jin-ri is on vacation these days and it is normal for her to want to find a place to travel.

I happen to be coming back to do some work these few days, so it makes sense for her to come back with me so that I can take care of her.

What's more, Sunny gave me a reason that I couldn't refuse, and came to supervise me and act as a shield for me.

In short, if nothing had happened in the past two days, although Huang Xu had some doubts, he would not say anything.

But now, Huang Xu has begun to have strong doubts about their purpose.

Most importantly, he now remembered what Goo Hara and Sunny had said during this period of time.

"Oppa, if it's the truth, I have no objection."

"Why didn't you let the truth accompany you?"

"It's no use, let the truth help you."

"."

When he heard these words, he didn't feel anything. He just thought they were joking and making fun of him.

Now that I think about it, it must be the hints they gave, or the foreshadowing they laid.

After thinking about this clearly, Huang Xu was faced with a dilemma.

Should he accept Choi Jin-ri?

If he accepts, the benefit is that he can once again get an idol girlfriend who is close to perfect in terms of both appearance and figure.

And she is still so considerate and takes good care of herself.

But it's not all advantages without disadvantages.

He already has four girlfriends, and they are all idols in girl groups. If this matter were to be exposed, he has no idea what kind of sensation it would cause.

If Choi Jin-ri is added, the chance of being exposed will also increase.

And their relationship is very good now, they can accept each other and coexist peacefully, but if their minds change over time, how should he deal with it?
If he doesn't handle it well, will he become the next Makoto~!

But if she doesn't accept it, what should Choi Jin-ri do?

Huang Xu was very worried by her behavior while sitting by the window just now. If she went back to the same path as in her previous life because of him, how should he solve the problem?

“Ah~~, this is so difficult~!”
