The Peninsula's richest man, starting from the game coming true

Chapter 106: First meeting with Aespa

After returning from Jeju Island, Han Zhe did not rush home, but stayed with Zhao Haiyuan for another day.

Although he tried his best to be gentle, Zhao Haiyuan still frowned when she walked the next day. No matter what, Han Zhe couldn't just leave her alone, so he simply called Jiang Xiuyan and planned to stay with Zhao Haiyuan for a few more days and leave when she felt better.

But Zhao Haiyuan only kept him for one more day. On Saturday, she told him to go home and rest for two days, and come back when he felt better. This way, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable and have to suffer and serve her in the end.

Han Zhe did not stick to his own opinion - he knew that Zhao Haiyuan was worried that Jiang Xiuyan would have an opinion. After all, this was a rare four-day trip for him. If the weekend was added in, it would be almost a whole week.

Han Zhe simply went home to see his new car.

The system gave away an extended version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom after completing the main line.

When he took Zhao Haiyuan to Jeju Island for vacation, the car was sent to him and asked Jiang Xiuyan to sign for it.

As soon as he arrived at the garage, Han Zhe saw a red and white Rolls-Royce.

This Rolls-Royce is about six meters long. He walked around the car carefully, observing the appearance of this customized car. Apart from anything else, Han Zhe actually liked this white car very much. Then he couldn't help but miss the SF90 that he had hardly driven.

The red part is dark, and you have to look carefully to see the red. From a distance, the refracted light makes it look more like a black and white color scheme. The two artificial waistlines are also dark red and white. The wheels are very distinctive large round discs with an R logo. Han Zhe walked around the car and finally had to quickly go up and get the keys before he could finally go in and take a look at the interior.

I have to say that this time the customized interior finally has a sense of private customization.

(Just replace the blue with dark red)

Some of the interior trims of the car are white, but the leather part is still mainly red, with white as a supplement. Among them, the red leather is bright in color but not bright, giving people a warm feeling. The white is not a spliced ​​leather color, but a beautiful embroidery that makes people amazed.

These embroideries are all tree branches and plum blossoms, with a few small colorful butterflies, which complement each other and highlight their extraordinary beauty.

Han Zhe opened the car door, got in, turned off the lights, looked up, and saw the most famous starry sky ceiling of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

As expected, the starry sky ceiling is also a custom-made design based on the patterns of the eight planets in the solar system.

There is nothing much to say about the rest of the central control. It feels similar to the one in Han Zhe's Maybach. Lying down in the back seat is not much different from Han Zhe's customized Maybach. Oh, the leather is softer and feels more like a sofa. When massaging the seat, there seem to be more massaging robotic arms.

The rest may only be felt after it is started.

Han Zhe walked to the driver's seat and took a look. Next to the classic Rolls-Royce co-pilot clock was a line of gold-plated English letters that read "King of Money", symbolizing the name of the customized vehicle.

This Rolls-Royce undoubtedly does not belong to any other model. The unique model design means that the price of this car may be much higher than Han Zhe imagined.

Han Zhe walked around the car before getting out of the car with satisfaction. If nothing unexpected happens, the Maybach can be given to Secretary Jin or Jiang Xiuyan to drive in the future.

Moreover, as it stands now, hiring a professional driver has become an urgent matter - although Pei Yanzhu is still Han Zhe's personal secretary in name, there is no doubt that she is now more inclined to the position of a professional administrative secretary than an ordinary personal secretary. She is so busy dealing with work every day that she has no time to run errands for Han Zhe every day.

To be honest, Han Zhe felt a little guilty when he asked her to drive for him occasionally. After all, her job would not disappear after she was done with her work, and she would have to work overtime to make up for it.

Originally, I wanted to solve the problem by exchanging fame and fortune points for recruitment coupons, but the price of a customized recruitment coupon for S-level talent in the Fame and Fortune Mall is already a staggering 10,000 points, which is really hard to bear.

He currently only earns more than 500 points a week. Even if his fans are still growing, even if he becomes a blogger with tens of millions of fans, it will take ten weeks to redeem an S-level recruitment voucher.

There are so many things that these points can be exchanged for. Even if you only exchange ten thousand points for money, that would be a full 10 billion!

So, Han Zhe simply stopped being obsessed with the so-called customization, and took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jin Youzhen.

[Han Zhe: Please help me recruit a professional driver and bodyguard, preferably a woman, loyalty and ability are the top priorities, no limit on salary.]

[Kim Yoo-jin: Are you sure you want a woman? There aren't many women who meet your requirements for this position. Also, you probably have some requirements for appearance, right?]

[Han Zhe: Of course I hope to be prettier. But I have to ensure my ability. Mainly because jobs like drivers and bodyguards require me to be with them all the time, and most of the people around me are women, so it is not convenient to find a male driver.]

[Jin Youzhen: I understand. Then let the news go first. After we get a batch of resumes, you can review them in person.]

【Han Zhe: Okay, thank you for your hard work. 】

[Kim Yoo-jin: It’s not hard (smile)]

Although Han Zhe felt that her expression of "not hard" and a smile was a bit strange, he still replied with a thumbs-up expression, put down his phone, went back home, and went straight into the cloakroom. He chose anxiously for a long time, and finally went out and headed straight for Kiton's store.

His figure has changed a little, so he postponed the custom-made clothes to next month. For now, he still has to rely on suitable ready-made clothes. Kiton suits have now become his favorite brand. He has basically worn other luxury clothes only once, or even thrown them into the closet without wearing them at all.

Mainly because as he made more money and met more wealthy people, Han Zhe gradually realized that truly rich people actually don't like to wear well-known luxury brands like LV.

Even if they wear or use them, they tend to choose high-end customized products from these brands rather than common goods.

Han Zhe has also passed the stage of buying clothes just because of the brand. Even Jiang Xiuyan has started to buy clothes from relatively niche brands. Price is no longer a necessary condition for them to buy clothes.

Han Zhe had also obtained customization quotas for brands such as Chanel and Hermes early on, and basically used all of them to customize various bags and other leather goods.

However, in the field of suits, Han Zhe still has a special liking for Kiton. His suits are still of high quality even when they are ready-made.

When he arrived at Kiton, Han Zhe did the same as before, shopping and selected five new suits. He put on one of the black ones and had the rest delivered to his home.

Afterwards, Han Zhe thought about it for a while and went straight to the mall, ready to go shopping in the luxury stores.

This time, it was to prepare gifts for the members of Aespa.

Because tonight is the day Han Zhe is going to meet Aespa.

In fact, this is not the first time that Liu Zhimin has postponed the meeting. The original plan was to meet almost last weekend, but they decided to meet together this time. According to Liu Zhimin, everyone wants to come and "inspect" the level of their "brother-in-law".

So we have to accommodate everyone's schedule, so it was postponed to today.

Han Zhe secretly asked them what they liked, but in the end Liu Zhimin just repeatedly emphasized that he didn't need to spend money and just wanted to treat them to a meal, which made him so distressed.

After walking around the mall twice, I remembered what Liu Zhimin said, that everyone in their dormitory liked a perfume brand called Acqua di Parma.

I searched around the mall for a while before I found this brand. I bought five gift box perfume sets, each box of six cost just over 10,000 yuan.

It is not too expensive, nor too cheap. It is a price that is easy to afford without being too burdensome.

After all, everyone knows that George Han is very rich, and this thing is really not a precious thing to him.

But afterwards, Han Zhe was still not satisfied. As he walked around, he was attracted by a piece of Bulgari jewelry.

This Bulgari bracelet, called Gilded Snake Shadow, comes in two styles. One is that only the snake head and tail are decorated with diamonds and sapphire eyes, and it costs about 40 million won. The thicker one is decorated with diamonds and emerald eyes, and it costs about 150 million won. It looks very unique.

The whole look is unforgettable at first sight - it somehow reminds Han Zhe of Liu Zhimin, who was once touted as the "snake beauty".

So he simply sent a message asking about the size of Liu Zhimin's wrist.

[Han Zhe: What's the size of your wrist? I saw an interesting bracelet while shopping in the mall and I think it would suit you very well.]

[Liu Zhimin: Didn’t I tell you not to buy expensive things? Why did you buy a bracelet? ]

[Han Zhe: The gift I prepared for you is perfume. I remember you said before that you liked the brand of Acqua di Parma very much, but I forgot the specific scent, so I bought five gift boxes.

I saw this bracelet while shopping, and I suddenly thought of you. If you don't tell me, I can only buy a similar one first, and then find a store to alter it yourself. Hurry up and tell me, what's the size of your wrist? 】

Liu Zhimin simply sent him the size of her wrist, and then couldn't help asking him out of curiosity.

[Liu Zhimin: What kind of bracelet is it? ]

[Han Zhe: Secret~ I'll give it to you tonight. ]

[Liu Zhimin: Don’t spend too much money. Didn’t you brag to me before that you were going to start your own cosmetics brand and would ask me to be the spokesperson? Save some money now~]

[Han Zhe: Even if I'm short of money, I still have enough to buy you some small gifts. This is the second time I've given you something, right? Please accept it~]

[Liu Zhimin: I see you tonight. Remember to dress nicely so they can take a good look at you. I always tell them that Oppa is much better looking in person than in the video!]

【Han Zhe: I will try my best.】

[Liu Zhimin: Saranghei~]

【Han Zhe: (heart.jpg)】

Putting down his phone, Han Zhe felt that it was about enough - other big-name luxury goods were not easy to buy casually, mainly because the brands of these artists' clothes usually had to find spokespersons and they couldn't be worn casually.

For example, the ones that Han Zhe gave to Liu Zhimin before, she usually doesn’t dare to wear casually in public, because their entire group has signed with Givenchy, and they have to wear Givenchy brand in front of the public, at least within this year. If they are photographed wearing other brands in private, it may affect their future endorsements.

But jewelry should not be included. After all, professional jewelry brands don’t look down on small idols. Even if they can be endorsed by them, they have to be top-tier. Asepa will have to return at least twice and ensure the popularity of their debut song to have a chance.

If they end up like poor ITZY, who peaked as soon as they debuted and then hit a new low with every song thereafter, there will be basically no chance of them getting high-end luxury endorsements.

Han Zhe shook his head. Fortunately, Shen Youna's family was rich. She bought a Land Rover for herself and had a Porsche at home. She could be considered a wealthy woman. Otherwise, given the situation of their team, it would be difficult for them to expect to make a fortune by endorsements.

After putting away all the gifts, Han Zhe, who had carried so many bags, was too lazy to go shopping anymore. He stuffed all the things into the trunk of the Rolls-Royce, looked at the time, went back to the company, took a walk, and then went straight to his tavern in Cheongdam-dong.

Thanks to Choi Seung-hwan, the tavern called 'Dream' that he got for free has now been renovated. The first floor still retains normal operation, but the second floor has been completely changed. The large number of tables and chairs originally used to receive guests have been removed and replaced with more high-end sofas and coffee tables, and a separate door lock has been added to the second floor.

It looks more like a large reception room. The original bar position has been rearranged and a 100-inch TV has been added. The wine cabinet, which was originally the protagonist, has been moved to the wall and replaced with a transparent wine cabinet that is easy to store wine. The bar has been removed, and the manager's office has been changed into a lounge. The bathroom has been renovated into a single room, and a separate shower room has been built.

After these changes, the entire second floor became a place for Han Zhe's private gatherings.

The reason for retaining the first floor is actually to make it convenient for the store's chefs and other staff to stay there, so that they won't be idle and get moldy in the store. But Han Zhe actually also considered that maybe the first floor could be modified and used as a banquet hall, and the kitchen could be modified. When a banquet is needed, temporary chefs and waiters can be invited over.

But this is not something that can be done overnight. Even if the renovation is done quickly, it will take more than a month, so it has not been done for the time being.

After all, Han Zhe doesn't have many opportunities to go out for banquets alone - but this should change later. After all, this place can also be used as a fixed shooting location for video shooting. It should not be a problem to use it to shoot some conversations, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.

Because they had agreed that Han Zhe didn't need to pick them up, when Han Zhe arrived at the store, the Aespa people hadn't arrived yet, so he asked the store manager to pick them up at the door and help him take all the gifts up.

After going upstairs, he took a bottle of Yamazaki whiskey, turned on the TV, smoked a cigar, ordered some French fries and started to kill time.

After waiting for about half an hour, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

He then hurriedly sat up straight, smiled, stood up and looked towards the stairs.

After the manager opened the door, the first person to show his head was Liu Zhimin with a shy smile on his face.

Her hairstyle today was a straight black and purple hair style, with bangs covering her forehead, and she was wearing a mask, revealing only her eyes with makeup on. Her eyes were as charming as a snake demon, and she looked a bit like "Tomie" in a Japanese comic. She gave people a charming yet dangerous feeling, which made Han Zhe a little surprised.

Seeing him staring at her intently, Liu Zhimin chuckled, took off her mask, and walked towards him briskly. Following closely behind her was Jin Minwo, who was also dressed as an artist today. Her oval face under her short golden hair showed delicate features. When she saw Han Zhe at the moment, she bowed slightly nervously but said nothing.

Then came the red-haired Giselle and the gray-haired Ningning - the whole group of people looked like they had just stepped off the stage.

"We went to shoot the pictorial for the new album this morning. The makeup and styling are all for the music video."

Liu Zhimin smiled and explained today's makeup, then with a slightly blushing cheek, she pulled Han Zhe's arm who stood up at the moment, and said to the members behind her: "This is Han Zhe Oppa~"

"Hello~" Han Zhe's face was full of friendly smiles, which inexplicably gave people a sense of affinity and trust that made them relax unconsciously. However, the girls in front of him still looked at each other and just bowed slightly in a polite manner.

"Hello~"

After the girls finished speaking, Liu Zhimin wanted to introduce the specific members to Han Zhe, but Han Zhe smiled and said, "This is Giselle, this is my fellow villager Ningning, this is Winter, Jin Minxi, right?"

Liu Zhimin nodded, and seeing that the girls were a little embarrassed, she took the initiative to smile and joked, "Why are you so nervous? Didn't you say before that you would help me teach that playboy Oppa a lesson?"

"No!" Giselle waved her hands hastily: "I never said such a thing."

Ningning and Jin Minyue both coughed and looked at Liu Zhimin in unison. Liu Zhimin just smiled and sat down with his arm around Han Zhe's arm. The manager had already closed the door and left. If Han Zhe needed anything, there was an intercom next to the window on the second floor. One call would allow the people below to understand his needs, so naturally he didn't need a waiter to accompany him.

"I know~ Ningningxi and Minxianxi want to teach me a lesson, Zhimin. You have to protect me tonight."

Han Zhe smiled and didn't care about it at all. He just waved and asked them to sit down. Then he asked kindly: "The food in this restaurant is mostly snacks and side dishes. The staple food is only simple Western food, steak and pasta."

He pointed to the menu on the side of the coffee table and said, "You guys can order some food first. You can also take a look at the wine list, or just go to the wine cabinet on the side and get what you like. Don't worry about the price. This store is mine."

Liu Zhimin knew that his members were still reluctant to let go, so he simply took the menu and started talking. Han Zhe memorized everything in his head, then stood up and made an internal call to give instructions to his subordinates.

"Are you going to drink today?" Liu Zhimin looked at her sisters with a smile, while Jin Minyu whispered meaningfully, "We still have practice tomorrow, so we can't drink too much."

"It's okay~ If you have work to do, it's okay to drink."

After Han Zhe finished speaking, he paused and smiled: "Oh, by the way, I also prepared gifts for you~"

He took out the gift box from behind the sofa, shook it, and put it back down: "Jimin said before that you like this brand of perfume, so I went to the mall and bought a few sets today, one for each of you, don't forget to take it when you leave.

After all, you are all Ji Min's teammates, and I'll have to ask you to take good care of her in the future. The gift is not expensive, so just accept it."

"Thank you." Several girls first looked at Liu Zhimin, and when they saw her nod, they responded in uneven tones.

Han Zhe had already sat down with his arms around Liu Zhimin. Although Liu Zhimin was a little shy, she still let him hold her and even leaned her head towards him.

Seeing Liu Zhimin like this, several members looked at each other. They always felt that the inexplicably sweet smile on her face made people feel a little disgusted.

This sister is usually not like this in the dormitory. Why does she look so well-behaved next to George Han?
This man is really amazing.
"If you don't mind, you can also call me Oppa. Can I speak to you in plain language?"

Han Zhe asked with a smile.

It was Giselle who let go first, and started chatting with Han Zhe with a smile: “Okay, then I will call you Oppa from now on.”

"You guys should just address me in a relaxed manner. I'm the type who doesn't really care about honorifics. Ningning should understand that we, the people of Dongda, don't really care about that."

When Han Zhe finished speaking, Ning Ning, who was suddenly called by her name, became a little nervous, and subconsciously replied loudly: "Ne? Ah, yes! Then I will also call you Oppa. How about I call you Brother Han?"

Ningning always felt that calling a Dongda University student Oppa was a bit inexplicably corny.

"Okay~ I remember you are from Harbin? I am from the north too, relax, don't be so nervous."

Han Zhe switched to Chinese and smiled at her, and Ning Ning subconsciously replied in Chinese: "Where in the north are you from?"

"Me? From the province of Meng." Han Zhe smiled and said to her for a few words before switching back to Korean. He said to Jin Minxiao who had not spoken the whole time, "Where is Minxiaoxi? Can I call you Minxiao from now on?"

"Of course you can." After Jin Minyue finished speaking, he nodded and stopped talking, just looking at Han Zhe.

Han Zhe keenly realized that there might be an opposing force in Aespa - that was the guy in front of him.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, then looked at Jin Min-hyun with a smile and said, "Perhaps, Min-hyun has something to say to me, or is there something you are curious about?"

"Eh? Me?" Jin Minyue didn't expect to be asked a question suddenly when it was his turn. He could only look at Liu Zhimin nervously.

"Hmm~ I always feel that Min-woon may have some misunderstandings about me. Maybe it's not a misunderstanding. After all, you know my situation. It's normal for someone to think that I did something wrong." Han Zhe calmly lifted the fig leaf. Jin Min-woon opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Then, Han Zhe looked at her with a sincere smile and said:
"But, no matter what, I am doing this because I really like Jimin. If you have any opinions or questions for me, you can always tell me. I know that you and Jimin have always had a good relationship. No matter what, I don't want the relationship between you and Jimin to become bad because of me.

Jimin really likes Aespa, and also likes you guys. He always talks to me about you guys when we chat. You are Jimin’s sisters, and also my sisters, so I hope we can become closer.”

Liu Zhimin patted Han Zhe on the shoulder and smiled as he was about to change the subject: "Min Yeon is the type who is more shy, Oppa, don't think too much~"

Jin Minyu lowered his head, and suddenly asked, "Does Han Zhe Oppa really like Jimin Unnie?"

"Of course." Han Zhe answered without hesitation.

"But." Jin Minheon hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If you like her..."

"Stop talking." Liu Zhimin suddenly interrupted Jin Minyue. Jin Minyue raised his head and saw Liu Zhimin's slightly frowned brows and somewhat unhappy expression.

Jin Min-woon pursed his lips, but Liu Zhimin said seriously: "Haven't we already discussed these things in the dormitory? Why do we have to embarrass Oppa by saying it now?"

“No.” Jin Min-woon just lowered his head, looking a little unhappy: “I just think this is not right.”

"I remember Minyan comes from a military family, right?" Han Zhe just held Liu Zhimin's little hand and comforted her not to worry. Her hands were really small compared to her height. No wonder people always called her "mangosteen hand" and "mangosteen fist".

Liu Zhimin turned her head to look at Han Zhe and said nothing more, but she was still somewhat unhappy in her heart. This matter had been agreed upon in the dormitory and it would be decided by time. Jin Minyue had also acquiesced to it, but she said it again when they met for the first time. Isn't this embarrassing Han Zhe in front of the members?
"Inside" Jin Minxuan and other members were a little surprised by Han Zhe's understanding of them.

They probably thought that for a wealthy man like George Han, it was already a lot of effort for him to remember their names, but they didn’t expect that he also knew other things so clearly.

"Don't be surprised, I am a fan of Aespa. I have been a fan of Aespa for ten years and I have confessed my love for them on YouTube."

When he said this, Han Zhe raised his eyebrows at Ningning. Ningning couldn't help but burst out laughing. This kind of joke that only people around her understood, without a doubt, quickly made Ningning feel more intimate with Han Zhe.

"Of course, I'm probably still a little bit behind a real crazy fan, but I still know some of the general things."

Han Zhe finished speaking with a smile, and then smiled at Jin Minyu and said, "So, I know that Minyu may think that what I did is not a good man in the traditional sense, and there is nothing wrong with having an opinion about me."

"Oppa." Liu Zhimin held his hand somewhat unhappily, not liking the way he had to 'swallow his anger' because of her.

She had seen Han Zhe's powerful and arrogant appearance. Even when the two of them were together, this guy was always the stronger one. But in front of his own members, he could humble himself. This kind of thing made her feel happy and inexplicably sad.

Han Zhe turned his head and looked at her, then he burst into laughter: "It's okay~ Don't you always bully and tease Min Wan? Take my share of revenge in the future."

“Yes~” Liu Zhimin was relieved to see that he was really calm. She pursed her lips and glared at Jin Minzhu. Jin Minzhu just lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, it’s not that I have any problem with Oppa.”

"I know. If I tell this to others, ninety out of a hundred girls will think that what I did was wrong and that I am a bad guy. But I can't do anything about it. After all, I like you, I like you."

Han Zhe said frankly: "Fortunately, Zhimin also likes me. What's wrong with two people who like each other being together? As for the so-called loyalty or affection.
To be honest, I don’t think I’m any worse than the so-called loyal men in this regard.”

Han Zhe looked at Jin Minyu seriously and said, "What does a good man in the traditional sense look like? Being responsible for his partner? I can do that now. If Zhimin says one day that she doesn't want to be an idol anymore, it doesn't matter if I support her for the rest of her life. At least in terms of material conditions, I can make sure that Zhimin doesn't have to worry or be distressed for the rest of her life.

If it is an emotional need, I can go to Zhimin whenever she misses me.

No matter how busy I am, as long as it’s a message or a call from Zhimin, I will pick up the call as soon as possible unless it’s really inconvenient for me to answer the call. Even if I miss it, I will reply immediately after seeing it.”

After Han Zhe finished speaking, he paused and gave an example: "In fact, the relationship between Zhimin and I is no different from that of an ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend. She will share with me the anime, comics, TV series, etc. that she likes, and I will also watch them. In this regard, we have similar tastes, so we can often talk about these things we like together.

When I see something nice, I will think of Ji Min first. For example, when I went shopping today, I saw beautiful bags and jewelry and wondered if they would look good on Ji Min.
It’s the same when I meet you guys. I’ll be agonizing for a long time before the meeting, worrying about whether I’ll embarrass Jimin or make you unhappy, and end up saying bad things about me to Jimin.”

Han Zhe laughed twice: "So, if Min Ye is still worried that I will deceive Zhi Min in this regard, or worried that she will be hurt because of me in the future, then just keep doubting. After all, it still takes time and actions to prove whether a person is a good guy or a bad guy. Don't quarrel with Zhi Min because of me, okay?"

".Yes, I'm sorry, Oppa." After listening to Han Zhe's words, Jin Minyue felt inexplicably convinced. She felt that he was really frank and sincere, and not at all like the smooth-talking person she had guessed before.

And when he talked about Zhi Min, he really looked like he liked her very much. Maybe my guess about him was wrong. He didn't do it on purpose, but had to do it because he liked Zhi Min. And then he couldn't break up with his ex-girlfriend because of his sense of responsibility?
Thinking about it this way, he has become a responsible and good man?

Then, Han Zhe turned to Liu Zhimin and said, "You too~ Don't have conflicts with the members because of me. In the final analysis, I am the only one who did something wrong in this matter. You don't need to defend me."

Liu Zhimin just looked at him, eyes slightly red, and then just nodded gently. In front of the members, she was too embarrassed to get into his arms, but she still said firmly: "It's not that I agreed to this because I like Oppa very much, how can it be Oppa's fault?

Min-woo, I know what you're thinking, but, it's because I like him that I became like this. Rather than saying that he did something wrong, I'm just an accomplice because I followed his lead and made the same mistake.
Anyway, it's a rare opportunity for us to meet together today, I still hope that everyone can accept us. Even if you don't want to bless us, don't think that Oppa is a bad person, please."

"Jimin~" This time it was Giselle who said anxiously, "Why are you saying it so formally? We have nothing against you two."

Ning Ning couldn't help but say, "You guys are not going to get married and need your family's consent. If Ouni is happy, then of course I don't think there is any problem."

Jin Min-woon lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, unnie. That's not what I meant. I just want to know what Oppa really thinks."

"Now you know, don't doubt Oppa anymore." Liu Zhimin said this in a rare serious tone, and then she softened her heart and said in a gentle tone: "Minyou, I'm not an idiot who knows nothing. At least I can feel whether Oppa likes me or not, and whether he is lying.

Just like Oppa said, we are so busy with practice and work that we can hardly see each other every day, but Oppa never gets angry or dissatisfied with me. Sometimes, because he has to live broadcast, shoot, or practice at night, he will wait until our live broadcast is over and then adjust the time to call according to my schedule.

He usually never tells me about his troubles, but he always cares about me when I am unhappy. Although he is not a big fan of celebrities, he still watches a lot of our Aespa's past videos and interviews, just to know what I like and what my hobbies are.

I would also secretly ask other seniors who have been in love what their boyfriends are like, including the couples in the industry. In fact, compared with them, I am really one of the happiest ones. "

This was the first time that Liu Zhimin shared the story between herself and Han Zhe with them. Even if they asked before, she would just blush and pretend to be an ostrich. After all, she was the oldest in the team and the captain. If she didn't say anything, others wouldn't be able to keep asking.

At this moment, even Jin Minyue just raised his head and listened attentively.

Liu Zhimin gently held Han Zhe's hand. She was really shy about confessing in public, but because she hoped that the members would support her and Han Zhe together, she could only endure her shyness and continue, "You also know that most of the couples in our circle end after a few months, isn't it because it's difficult to align their work schedules?
Sometimes, with so much schedule, you can only talk on the phone a few times in a month. Basically, there is no such thing as a romantic experience. Only a few people can maintain a relationship for a year without breaking up.

As for those who look for people outside the circle, most of them find it difficult to stick to the end. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to be considerate and understand the intensity of our work. Sometimes conflicts will quickly arise because we don’t have time to reply or cannot meet.

But Oppa has never said anything to me about this matter. For example, wasn't this meeting just because our schedules were adjusted back and forth several times?
Oppa has never complained. He is very busy now. After all, he is the president of a company. He has recently started SNS activities and has a lot of filming activities.

Besides, don’t you know that many rich people like Oppa don’t like idols like us? But Oppa has always been very proud of me, and he openly said on YouTube that he is my fan, very supportive of my activities, and often cheers for me.”

Liu Zhimin really felt that Han Zhe had been very good to her.

Jin Min-woon lowered her head, but Liu Zhimin just stood up, sat next to her, touched her hair, and hugged her: "So, Min-woon also support my relationship with Oppa, okay? I really like Oppa, and if Min-woon hates him, I will be embarrassed."

Jin Minyue lowered her head, looked up at Liu Zhimin carefully, and then looked at Han Zhe. Han Zhe was just looking at her with a smile at this moment, and he didn't look unhappy at all.

So, Jin Minheon nodded with red eyes: "I understand. I'm sorry, unnie."

Liu Zhimin then smiled and pinched her face in a funny way: "My Minyu is worried about you, right? That's so cute~"

It was not until Jin Minyu pushed her away with a red face that Liu Zhimin smiled and sat back next to Han Zhe. In front of her members, she still acted a bit like a captain and a sister. She smiled and said, "It's rare for us to come out. Even if we don't drink much, we should drink a little. There's no need to be polite to Oppa. He may have a lot of expensive wine here. Let's try it!"

"The wines in the transparent wine cabinet over there are not the best. Some of the treasured wines are kept in the more professional wine cellar downstairs. If you have a favorite wine, you can tell us. Maybe they have it in stock downstairs."

Han Zhe smiled and pointed at Yamazaki on the table and said, "I prefer to drink whiskey, but I actually prefer whiskey mixed with cola. The burden on the throat will not be so great, but the alcohol content is too high. People with poor alcohol tolerance should not drink too much.

Ordinary rice wine and beer are also available in the store, so just choose what you like.”

As he spoke, the doorbell of the password door on the second floor rang. Han Zhe said, "Come in," and the manager opened the door. Two waiters came up with the food that had been ordered.

Ningning raised her hand and said boldly: "I'll drink whiskey too! I'll drink a little less today, just about half a bottle~"

"Oh~ As expected~ Our Northeastern girls are not bad in this respect!" Han Zhe smiled and raised his thumb, and at the same time teased: "Jimin is a woman who will be ruined by one or two bottles of champagne~"

"Oppa~" Liu Zhimin blushed when she thought of what happened that day. Her alcohol tolerance was indeed not very good, but it was not really that bad either. It was just that she was still far behind Ningning and Han Zhe.

Ningning also relaxed a little at this moment, mainly because Han Zhe looked very approachable, even more easy-going and gentle than he looked in the YouTube video. In the camera, Han Zhe was still a bit ostentatious, or "bluffing" in Peninsular terms. Although he was not the kind that made people hate him, the confidence that came from his heart was about to overflow the camera, subconsciously making people feel that he was a little distant.

But at this moment, Han Zhe gave people the impression of a gentle older brother next door, or an amiable brother-in-law, and it was also an old acquaintance met in a foreign land, which made Ningning feel inexplicably more intimate with him.

"Where's Min-woon?" Han Zhe looked at Jin Min-woon, and she just shook her head hastily: "I'm a heavy drinker, really, three cups of soju. Usually I'll get dizzy after drinking half a bottle."

"Got it. Then just go downstairs and ask someone to bring you one or two low-alcohol cocktails to try. If you don't like drinking, just drink the drinks so you don't feel bad when you go home at night.

I am half of Zhimin's family now, right? No need to be polite."

Han Zhe smiled and turned to look at Giselle, who just waved her hand and said, "I prefer sake, and my alcohol tolerance is only a little more than half a bottle of soju."

"Got it~ It seems that Ningning is the only one who can drink a little more today."

As soon as Han Zhe finished speaking, Ning Ning puffed up her cheeks and said, “Brother, why don’t you ask me about my alcohol tolerance.”

"You definitely can't drink half a bottle of whiskey anyway." Han Zhe laughed, while Liu Zhimin covered her mouth and laughed, "Ningning can probably drink a bottle of whiskey by herself. She also took us to drink white wine. She can drink quite well, a little better than me."

"Better than you? That means I can drink a lot," Han Zhe joked. Liu Zhimin stretched out his little fist and punched him on the shoulder: "Ah~ Oppa! I didn't drink much champagne last time. The alcohol content of that champagne must be quite high, or maybe I drank it too fast!"

"I know, I know. Today we are going to test your alcohol tolerance. Will it cause any trouble?" Han Zhe raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously.

Liu Zhimin's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at him coquettishly. She knew what he meant. She blushed a little in front of the members, but still muttered: "Anyway, there will only be repeated dance practice tomorrow morning, and there will be a meeting in the afternoon."

Gisele stretched out her voice: "Oh~ No wonder I told my agent, Eunnie, when I went out today that I might go home and sleep for a night."

"Ah~!" Liu Zhimin blushed and stretched out her hand, but Giselle dodged with a smile: "Why? Are you going back to the dormitory tonight?"

"You still said that?" Liu Zhimin glared at her fiercely, and Gisele made a strange expression. Ningning had already started to wink at him with Han Zhe's whiskey. It was not until Han Zhe nodded that she could not wait to fill her glass with ice cubes.

With one breath, half of the food went into his stomach. Then, he let out a long sigh and actually looked a little happy.

Jin Minxuan picked up the drink menu and read it carefully for a long time. Finally, he decided to have two cocktails today and spend the rest of the time with drinks.

The manager quickly brought up the ordered Western food and various side dishes, as well as two cocktails and a bottle of Giselle's favorite Daiginjo sake from Tsurumiyama.

He took another bottle of Yamazaki whiskey and a bucket of ice, then closed the door again, leaving the second floor to Han Zhe and Aespa.

The atmosphere was no longer as awkward as it was at the beginning. In fact, the age gap between everyone was not that big, and the topics they talked about were similar. In addition, Han Zhe took the initiative to build closer relationships, and soon everyone started chatting and laughing.

Even Kim Min-woon, who always gave people a sense of alienation, became much more relaxed after two cocktails, and even took the initiative to ask for a glass of sake to drink slowly. The sake chosen by Gisele was not too strong, and had a strong floral and fruity aroma, making it a relatively easy-to-drink drink. After a few more sips of the wine, Kim Min-woon finally let go of his unfamiliar guard, and under Liu Zhimin's deliberate care, he participated in the conversation.

In order to make it look more natural, the seats were changed. Han Zhe sat next to Liu Zhimin, Liu Zhimin sat next to Jin Minyou, and opposite them were Gisele and Ningning.

Kim Min-woon drank a little too much and started leaning against Yoo Ji-min, making some weird and cute noises from time to time.

Liu Zhimin is the type who becomes cute when she drinks too much. She teases Kim Min-young and sees her aggrieved and pitiful look, then laughs out loud. Then she lies in Han Zhe's arms again and starts humming like Kim Min-young.

Ningning was sitting opposite with her eyes wide open - she had never seen this sister like this in her life, saying to the camera that she couldn't act like a spoiled child. Isn't this very good?

Gisele just smiled. This girl became a little quiet after drinking too much. But Ningning, on the other hand, became more and more emotional the more she drank. Later, she even played finger-guessing games with Han Zhe.

The two of them played with the Dongda style for a while, and the others were clamoring to learn from them. As a result, Jin Min-woon, who originally planned to drink only a little, drank a little too much. He leaned against Liu Zhimin drunkenly and even acted like a spoiled child and asked her to go back with him.
How should I put it? Han Zhe suddenly felt at this moment that this sister didn't just dislike him because he was a scumbag at the beginning. Maybe she also felt that he had taken away her sister.
But you can tell at first glance that this guy has a weird personality. He's the type who pretends to be strong most of the time, but when his defense is broken, he'll cover his face and cry endlessly. He seems tough and cold, but in fact he's very weak and pretends to be calm.

Han Zhe was watching the group of girls talking and laughing with a slightly tipsy smile, while his mind was wandering, thinking inexplicably - if it was a breakup, people like Liu Zhimin would usually calm down and think carefully, then talk it out in person, and then separate.

But people like Kim Min-yeon will just pretend that nothing happened, and even get angry and say they want to break up, but when they turn around, they will cry for a long time.
Gisele is from Japan, and is essentially quiet and elegant. However, due to her wealthy family background, she is actually a very generous type. She looks quite free and easy, and even after drinking she just smiles calmly, and speaks in a very organized manner when chatting.

Ningning completely gives off the feeling of a girl from Northeast China, and she has a rare sweet personality. She has the unrestrained nature of a girl from Northeast China, but she also has a girlish side. When she relaxes, her loud laughter is so impressive that people can't help but laugh along with her.

In the end, it was Giselle who took advantage of the time when the girls were talking and laughing, and she smiled at Han Zhe with some surprise and chatted: “I didn’t expect that Oppa is actually a very quiet person.”

"Me?" Han Zhe pointed at himself in surprise.

"Yeah~ After the atmosphere became lively, Oppa seemed to prefer to feel the atmosphere from the sidelines rather than participate in this type of flying guard.

Maybe it’s because you need to keep up appearances today?”

Giselle said to Han Zhe with a smile.

Han Chul just smiled and shook his head, “No, actually when I’m drunk I’m the clingy type, quite similar to Jimin.”

"Are you an ENFP too?" Giselle asked curiously.

In the Peninsula, people like to use MBTI, which is a classification of the results of personality psychology tests, to make friends.

The initial letters E and I represent extroversion and introversion. Generally speaking, people with E are more lively and sociable, while people with I are more introverted.

"No, I remember I was an INFP before but I should have changed a lot now." Han Zhe's words surprised Gisele even more.

In her opinion, Han Zhe is a typical E person, how could he have a delicate personality like INFP?
Liu Zhimin was also quite surprised - she had never told Han Zhe about this: "Oppa is an I person?"

"Why~ I'm actually quite a homebody. If I think about it carefully, when I go out, if I'm not shooting videos, I'm just hanging out with friends and people I like. Basically, I don't socialize much."

Han Zhe said confidently: "But not liking socializing doesn't mean you're not good at it. After all, socializing is also a skill."

"That's true. But Oppa is indeed very considerate and good at empathy." Liu Zhimin smiled and hugged Han Zhe, with her little face resting on his shoulder, and the other hand holding Jin Minyao's little hand, making her look very cool as she hugged her left and right.

"I see~" Giselle nodded with a smile, then suddenly said with some curiosity: "I heard from Zhimin that Oppa is planning to start his own cosmetics brand recently? There is a big difference between this business and Oppa's current foreign trade company, right?"

“Well, but actually the cosmetics brand is just a fulcrum. My ultimate goal is to make my company like Samsung and LG, a conglomerate covering multiple fields.

However, in the past one or two years, we should still focus on some industries with relatively low technical strength. We will first consolidate our base, and then we may turn to companies with technology as the core. "

After Han Zhe finished speaking, Giselle became even more curious. She asked, "It's not something that can be done in one or two years for a technology company, right? Is Oppa also a research and development genius in a certain field? Or is he planning to acquire an established technology company in a certain field and use money to invest in it?"

"I have more than one laboratory in America." Han Zhe stopped talking and smiled, while Giselle widened her eyes and raised her thumb after a while: "What about cosmetics too?"

"Yes, it's a new patent. It actually has significant technical advantages over current cosmetics. When the finished product comes out, I'll give it to you for free. By the way, I'll ask you to be my spokesperson. Your endorsement fee this year isn't high, right?"

Han Zhe joked: "Or do you suggest that I wait until next year?"

Ning Ning immediately bared her teeth and said fiercely: "No~! You can't take advantage of the situation~! We are not as rich as Giselle, don't take advantage of us! Jimin, hurry up~ use the beauty trap to find a big contract for us!"

Liu Zhimin covered her mouth and laughed, then suddenly turned her head and kissed him on the face: "Oppa, did you hear me? Give me the money~!"

Han Zhe turned his head and couldn't help laughing. He bent down and kissed her lips, causing Ningning and Gisele to cheer. Liu Zhimin turned her head with a red face and hugged Jin Minwang, who rolled her eyes in disgust, hiding her face behind her and laughing shyly.

But Han Zhe suddenly thought of something, stood up, picked up a small gift bag, and slapped it into Liu Zhimin's hand.

"A surprise for you. Don't say your honey trap didn't work."

Liu Zhimin then remembered that he had said before that he wanted to give her a surprise.

So, she happily took the small gift bag from Bulgari, opened it and took a look, then took out the small box inside. But before opening it, she turned her head to look at George Han and blinked, “Can I open it now?”

She remembered that Han Zhe described this thing as "interesting". Don't open it to find something that shouldn't appear.
"Of course~" Han Zhe just smiled and said, "When I saw this thing today, I thought of you, so I bought it immediately. It is said to be a very rare style."

The moment Liu Zhimin opened it, a flash of light seemed to suddenly appear in the room.
