Song Yi's face was filled with black lines, "What you are talking about is nonsense. I am just preventing Chen Zairong from taking action against the Elephant Group in the future. This is called being brave and righteous." Song Yi said that Souhan.com and the Elephant Group will carry out further cooperation.
Cui Shanji glanced at Song Yi hesitantly. She knew the character of the man beside her too well. "Really? I remember this behavior was called a hero saving a beautiful girl."
"Just like you couldn't stand Zhou Rongzhen bullying Gao Xianzhen, so you ended up taking Gao Xianzhen to bed. Are you now hoping that Chen Zairong and Lin Zhiling will get divorced?" Cui Shanji said jokingly.
"What are you talking about? Whether they get divorced or not has nothing to do with me. Lin Zhiling wants to ease the relationship between Samsung and SA. As a member of the Samsung family, she has attended many events organized by Tae Hee, trying to ease the tense relationship between Samsung and SA through the lady's diplomacy."
"But her efforts were doomed to be in vain. Luo Hongxi, Chen Fuzhen and Chen Xinyu all supported her approach. However, Chen Jae-yong opposed Lin Zhiling's actions, thinking that her actions were a bit embarrassing for the Samsung family," said Song Yi.
"That's right. Samsung has firmly established itself as the No. 1 family in South Korea in recent years, and it has always been the case that others have to please Samsung. How could they be willing to put aside their airs and come to us, SA, to make peace?" Choi Sun-hee agreed.
Since Lee Guangxue was attacked and killed by a mentally ill person in Anyang Prison, the attitude of the Korean political and business circles towards SA Group has changed significantly. As the head of the New Asia Welfare Foundation, Choi Sun-hee will be treated more courteously when she attends some charity events. This indirectly illustrates what "one person's success brings prosperity to the whole family". Although SA Group has only been rising for a few years, it has already surpassed many old Korean conglomerates and has become a presence that no one dares to provoke.
Cui Shanji blinked at Song Yi and lowered her voice, "If you really have feelings for Lin Zhiling, remember to tell me, I can help her to ask her out. In the entire Samsung family, I have a better relationship with her and Xinyu. With me covering for you, you can also block a lot of suspicious eyes."
"When you two are having an affair, I can also keep watch for you. If you are not satisfied, I can be her substitute so that you can enjoy the joy of shooting and scoring." Cui Shanji said.
Song Yi coughed awkwardly twice, and he said unhappily: "Why do I feel that you are more positive than me? If there really comes such a day, I will definitely ask you for help."
Cui Shanji nodded with satisfaction, "Well, this is my impression of President Song. There is no woman in Korea that you dare not sleep with. Well, I'll go to toast first, and we'll talk later." Cui Shanji lifted her skirt and walked away from Song Yi leisurely.
Song Yi shook his head. None of the women around him were easy to deal with. Each of them had her own tricks.
When mother Zhou Shulan saw Song Yi standing there alone, she wanted to come up and kick the tactless Song Yi.
"Tae Hee has been holding Yuan Hao for so long, don't you know to go over and lend a hand? Bring the child over, or put him in the stroller to rest for a while. There is no end to making money, so don't always drag people to talk business." Zhou Shulan criticized.
"Yes, yes, Mom, I get it. I'll be there right away." Song Yi didn't dare to retort. Ever since Zhou Shulan learned that Jin Xiyuan had given birth to a daughter for Song Yi, she looked at Song Yi with a strange look on his face.
Song Yi walked to Kim Tae-hee and took Song Yuanhao from her arms. Kim Tae-hee looked a little tired.
Song Yi asked Kim Tae Hee, "Are you a little tired? Why don't you go to the room upstairs and take a nap? Yuan Hao's New Year's Grasping Ceremony hasn't started yet."
The first birthday party held by Song Yi and his wife was Western-style and was hosted by a specialized wedding company.
In addition to the main stage, there is also a display stand at the entrance with many thank-you gifts for guests to pick up.
The thank-you gift prepared by Song Yi was a mug with Song Yuanhao's name printed on it and a set of silver cutlery, which included chopsticks, spoons, knives and forks. The packaging bag outside the cutlery was also engraved with the baby's name and blessings.
In addition to these, each guest also received a number plate, and after the banquet, there was a classification lottery game, similar to the annual meeting lottery. In the game session of the first birthday banquet, the guests who were drawn may receive lucky gifts.
This first birthday party was a bit like a Western buffet. Various precious seafood were placed on the long dining table. All of these seafood were airlifted from Yeji City.
Of course, in addition to seafood, there is also the indispensable rice cake. Rice cake occupies a very important position in the Korean diet, just like Chinese people eat dumplings during festivals, and the same is true for the first birthday banquet.
At the first birthday party, both white steamed cake and red bean dumplings are indispensable. White steamed cake embodies the expectations of Song Yi and his wife for their child, hoping that he will live a clean life. In Korean, "white" and "hundred" have the same pronunciation, which also represents the parents' hope that their child can live a long and healthy life.
If white represents longevity, then red bean dumplings represent warding off evil spirits. This is because red represents warding off evil spirits in the Confucian cultural circle, such as the firecrackers set off during the Chinese New Year. Red bean dumplings can protect children from illness and help them grow up healthily. Korean parents also prepare these two types of rice cakes for their children on every birthday until the child is ten years old.
Now the guests are almost all here. They have already found Song Yi and his wife, given them gifts, and sent their blessings to the baby.
After all the guests are seated, the hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Sung Yu-ri will bring Song Yi and his family of three to the front of the main stage to greet all the guests and thank them for coming.
The screen behind the main stage will show the baby's growth process from birth to one year old. After the short film is finished, the meal will start, which takes about an hour and a half. After the meal, the year-old celebration and game session will officially begin.
The "Zhua Sui" in Korean birthday parties is actually the same as the "Zhua Zhou" in China. Through the "Zhua Sui", one can predict the career that the child will take when he grows up. Various "Zhua Sui" items symbolize different meanings.
Most Korean parents hope their children can catch cash and become a chaebol. After the catching of the year, they will enter the exciting prize-winning game session.
Considering that the entire birthday party would take quite a long time, Song Yi booked a room at the Shilla Hotel so that Song Yi and Kim Tae Hee's parents could take some time to rest. Seeing that Kim Tae Hee was a little tired and had no appetite, Song Yi suggested that she go to rest first. She could come downstairs when the ceremony started.
Kim Tae Hee shook her head. As the hostess of the banquet, she certainly couldn't be absent. Song Yi and Kim Tae Hee didn't hold a wedding. The first birthday banquet was the most important social occasion for Kim Tae Hee as the hostess of the SA Foundation. How could she leave at the last minute?
Jin Xiyuan also felt sorry for her sister, and said to Song Yi, "You two go and greet the guests, and let me take care of the child. When he turns 18, Tae Hee can take him over. Yuanhao is closer to me, and if his grandparents take care of him, he will cry again."
As a mother herself, Kim Hee-won knows all too well how hard it is to take care of a child. It's not so bad at home, after all, there's a nanny to help share the pressure.
Kim Hee-won clapped her hands and stretched out her hand to Song Won-ho. Song Won-ho turned his head to look at his father, then looked at Kim Hee-won, then laughed and happily moved into Kim Hee-won's arms.
He handed Song Yuanhao to Jin Xiyuan, and did not forget to pat his son's little butt gently, "You have no conscience, when your aunt said she wanted to hold you, you even didn't want your father anymore."
Kim Hee-won happily hugged Song Won-ho and kissed him on the cheek, making him giggle. Song Won-ho thought Kim Hee-won was teasing him, so he kissed Kim Hee-won back.
As soon as Kim Tae-hee was free, the wives of other foundation chairmen would pull her to chat. Although Kim Tae-hee has retired from the film industry, as the director of THE Art Museum, she is very influential in the circle of wealthy ladies in Seoul.
Jin Xiyuan looked at Chen Fuzhen, and pursed her lips at Tae Hee, "This is the first time I see Tae Hee being so hostile to Chen Fuzhen. Lin Zhiling said that Yuan Hao looks like Chen Fuzhen's son Chen Yuanzhong, and she is relieved. Song Yi, no matter whether you have an illegitimate child outside, you cannot threaten Yuan Hao's position as heir. This is Tae Hee's bottom line."
Song Yi's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to change the subject, but then he saw Liu Huiying, who was alone. "Sister Huiying, why are you here alone? Where is Xiaoxian?"
Seeing that Song Yi did not give a direct answer, Jin Xiyuan sighed and did not continue to force him.
"Xiao Xian just went to wash her hands. She should be back soon. I'll go over and take a look." Liu Huiying said. There was a restroom in the banquet hall, but it was being used by a guest, so Xu Zhuxian ran to the public restroom on the same floor.
Jin Xiyuan had sharp eyes. She said to Liu Huiying, "Look, isn't Xiaoxian back? She's at the entrance. But why is there a little girl following her? Did she meet her classmates?"
Song Yi shook his head. "It doesn't look like that. I'll go over and see what's going on. It looks like that little girl wants to come in, but security won't allow it."
Song Yi and Liu Huiying walked to the entrance of the banquet hall together, and Xu Zhuxian hurriedly greeted them, "Uncle Song, oh mom, you are here."
Song Yi looked at the little girl next to him and felt that she looked familiar. He asked nonchalantly, "Xiaoxian, why didn't you go in? Is this your classmate?"
Xu Zhuxian shook her head, "No, we just met in the bathroom. She is a fan of Aunt Tae Hee and wanted to see Aunt Tae Hee at the door. After all, since the filming of "Dae Jang Geum", Aunt Tae Hee has rarely appeared in public and rarely updated her status on inschool."
Song Yi was a little surprised. Does Tae Hee have such a young fan? Song Yi was very gentle, "What's your name? Are your parents here?"
The girl looked a little restrained. She recognized Song Yi at a glance. She bowed and saluted Song Yi, "Hello, President Song. My name is Park Ji-yeon. My parents are having dinner in the restaurant on the second floor."
Song Yi was even more surprised. It seemed that she was a die-hard fan of Kim Tae Hee. She even knew him. Liu Huiying glanced at Park Ji-yeon and said to Song Yi, "Song Yi, no wonder she is a fan of Tae Hee. Look at her face shape. Doesn't it look like a smaller version of Tae Hee? But she has a little baby fat. If she was a little thinner, she would really look like Tae Hee."
Because of Seo Ju-hyun, Yoo Hye-young likes little girls very much and is also very enthusiastic towards Seo Ju-hyun's classmates. She patiently asked Park Ji-yeon, "Park Ji-yeon, right? Have your classmates ever called you Little Kim Tae-hee?"
Liu Huiying's attitude became more friendly. "You look younger than our Xiaoxian. Our Xiaoxian was born in 1991. How old are you, Park Jiyeon?"
Park Ji-yeon replied, “I am 12 years old.”
As the principal of the piano school, Liu Huiying is really good at communicating with little girls. She smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that Xiaoxian's new friend is really a little girl."
Seeing that the ages matched, Song Yi was somewhat certain. Song Yi thought it was a coincidence that he had just gathered all nine members of Girls' Generation, and Tara's youngest member Park Ji-yeon appeared at Song Won-ho's first birthday party.
He thought of Kim Tae-hee's concern about the similarities between Chen Yuanzhong and Song Yuanhao, and an idea came to his mind. He patiently said to Park Ji-yeon, "Park Ji-yeon, Sister Tae-hee is inside, busy greeting guests. She may not be free to see you now."
"Well, you go back to the restaurant first, say hello to your parents, and then come back after getting their consent. I'll let Xiaoxian pick you up then. Then you can meet Taehee, and we can also send you a return gift for your first birthday party. The return gift will have my and Taehee's signatures on it. Do you think this arrangement is okay?" Song Yi said.
When Park Ji-yeon heard Song Yi say this, her expression suddenly became joyful. She bent down to thank Song Yi, "Thank you, President Song, thank you, Auntie. I will go upstairs and tell my parents now and will be back soon."
Liu Huiying looked at Park Ji-yeon's impetuous appearance and shook her head, "Are young girls nowadays so keen on chasing stars? Fortunately, our Xiaoxian is not that naughty." Liu Huiying hugged her daughter Xu Zhuxian with satisfaction.
Park Ji-yeon moved quickly and returned to the banquet hall in a short while. In addition to her, Park Ji-yeon's parents also came over. Obviously, they were also worried that young Park Ji-yeon was deceived, so they came to confirm the authenticity of the matter.
Seeing that Park Ji-yeon did not come alone and unable to make a decision, Xu Zhuxian called Song Yi over.
Song Yi met Park Ji-yeon's parents and greeted them warmly. It can be seen that Park Ji-yeon's father is tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a pair of long legs, and his appearance is not inferior to that of popular idols.
Park Ji-yeon's mother has a popular half-browed hairstyle, wears a spotted skirt, is fashionable, has a high nose bridge, and is also a beauty.
"Hello, Jiyeon's parents, I'm Song Yi from SA. I just met Park Jiyeon at the door. She is a fan of Taehee and wanted to meet her. So I asked her to go up and say hello to you. I'm very sorry to disturb your meal." Song Yi had a good attitude.
Park Ji-yeon's father waved his hands quickly and said, "We are the ones who disturbed you. We were a little worried, so we came to see what was going on."
Seeing that the guests at the banquet were all rich or noble, Park Ji-yeon's father had no intention of joining in the fun. There was no need to force his way into a circle that did not belong to him.
"Ji-yeon, then you go in first. Mom and I will wait for you outside for a while. After you get the autograph, we will go back, okay?" said Park's father.
However, Song Yi wanted to leave a good impression on Park Ji-yeon's parents so that it would be easier for him to sign the entire Tara group in the future.
Now that Tara already has two members, Park Soyeon and Park Jiyeon, how far will the remaining members, Ham Eunjung, Lee Joo-ri, Park Hyomin and Jeon Bo-ram, be?
"We Chinese people believe that guests are welcome. Since you are already here, why not join us for my son's first birthday party. There will be a game and lottery session later. Maybe with Jiyeon's good luck, you can win the grand prize." Song Yi made a sincere invitation.
Mother Park took one look at her husband and felt a little moved, but she was too shy to speak out.
Song Yi then added, "Park Ji-yeon's new friend Xu Zhuxian is a trainee of SM Entertainment. I think Park Ji-yeon has good looks and may debut as a trainee in the future. Even if you don't plan to enter the entertainment industry, it won't hurt to make more friends."
When Park Ji-yeon's parents heard what Song Yi said, they were immediately moved. They thanked him again and said, "Sorry to bother you."
Park Ji-yeon's parents registered their information at the entrance, and then took out all the cash in their wallets as a gift. Liu Huiying nodded after seeing this, this family is indeed a very particular family.
Considering that Park Ji-yeon's family were not familiar with the guests at the scene, Liu Huiying and her daughter took the initiative to accompany Park Ji-yeon's family to prevent them from feeling uncomfortable.
During the break of the banquet, Song Yi brought Park Ji-yeon to Kim Tae-hee and said to her, "Tae-hee, this is Park Ji-yeon, Xiaoxian's new friend. She is 12 years old. She is your die-hard fan and is also called Little Kim Tae-hee by her classmates. Do you think she looks a bit like you?"
Kim Tae Hee has always been very kind to her fans. She looked at the timid Park Ji Yeon and took the initiative to shake her hand. "Hello, Park Ji Yeon. I am actress Kim Tae Hee. Nice to meet you."
Park Ji-yeon's face flushed with excitement when she saw her idol shaking hands with her. "Hello, I'm Park Ji-yeon. Taehyung, you're so beautiful. You look much better in person than in the photos on the Internet!"
Song Yi teased, "Really? Are you trying to say that Tae Hee's online photos are not pretty?"
Park Ji-yeon was so anxious that she was sweating profusely after being teased by Song Yi. She waved her hands quickly and said, "No. Taehyung's photos on the Internet are already very beautiful, but she is even more photogenic in person. No wonder everyone praises Taehyung as the most beautiful woman in Korea."
Kim Tae Hee was so happy to be praised by Park Ji Yeon, "Thank you Ji Yeon, you are also very beautiful, just like our Xiao Xian, you are both little beauties. When you grow up, you will also become big beauties."
Kim Tae Hee was about to give Park Ji Yeon an autographed photo, and she motioned for Park Ji Yeon to come over so that the two of them could take a photo together. At this time, Kim Tae Hee also noticed Seo Ju Hyun standing nearby, and motioned for her to come over, and then she hugged Seo Ju Hyun and Park Ji Yeon to take a photo of the three of them together.
A few years later, after Tara debuted, a photo of Kim Tae-hee, Seo Ju-hyun, and Park Ji-yeon appeared on inschool.
Tara fans praised the youngest member Park Ji-yeon's popularity, saying, "It turns out that our Tara youngest member Park Ji-yeon has known Girls' Generation's youngest member Seohyun for a long time. Is this the precious friendship between youngest members?"
When Kim Hee-won saw "Little Kim Tae-hee" Park Ji-yeon, she was extremely impressed by Song Yi.
"Tae Hee just started to doubt whether Yuan Hao and Chen Yuanzhong are related, and you can find a little Jin Tae Hee from outside to dispel her doubts. Didn't you arrange this in advance?"
"I heard that SM Entertainment already has a little Song Hye Kyo, and now there's a little Kim Tae Hee. When will you gather a little Jun Ji Hyun and a little Son Ye Jin?" Kim Hee Won asked Song Yi.
Song Yi complained, "It's really just a coincidence. Park Ji-yeon is a friend that Xiaoxian just met. She has nothing to do with me."
Next came Song Yuanhao's New Year's Grabbing Ceremony. Song Yuanhao sat in the center and looked at various items but was hesitant to take any action.
Kim Tae-hee was a little anxious, "Baby, just grab whatever you like and bring it in." She made a grabbing gesture to her son.
Song Yuanhao seemed to understand. He first grabbed a stack of hundred-dollar bills beside him, and then put it down.
Grandpa Song Mingzhe and grandpa Jin Yuwen were watching Song Yuanhao's every move, and the two old men's hearts were almost in their throats. Jin Yuwen was about to applaud and say that Song Yuanhao would inherit his father's business and become the chairman of the consortium in the future, but Song Yuanhao put his hands down again.
Song Yuanhao touched the pen again, picked it up, and put it down again. Grandpa Song Mingzhe looked unhappy. He had thought that his grandson Song Yuanhao would become a university professor like him. Song Mingzhe is now the executive vice president of Bianzhou University. If President Jin retires next year, Song Mingzhe is expected to take over and become the president of Bianzhou University, becoming a vice-ministerial leader before retirement.
Song Yuanhao climbed two steps and saw a Hetian jade seal with the Chinese characters "Song Yuanhao" engraved on it. He picked up the seal curiously, studied it in his hand, and never let go.
Song Mingzhe and Jin Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good omen, indicating that Song Yuanhao would become a high-ranking official in the future. Maybe he would become a member of the South Korean National Assembly like Zhou Mengzhun and Zhou Mengxian.
Jin Yuwen was wondering if Song Yuanhao would become a civil servant in the future, would that mean that someone else would inherit the SA Group? He felt it necessary to urge Taixi to have two more children while she was still young, preferably a boy or a girl for the Song family, so that she could firmly secure her position as the principal wife.
In addition to Kim Tae-hee, the eldest daughter Kim Hee-won also has to work hard. She only has one daughter now, Song Won-young, and when she gives Song Yi a son, it will be perfect. After all, he has two daughters, so he has no objection to which daughter's child inherits the SA consortium.
Cui Shanji then came up to Song Yi and said to him, "I have already got the contact information of Park Ji-yeon's mother. She is indeed interested in having Ji-yeon become a trainee. I will ask her to come to the company to meet tomorrow. How about you talk to her alone? She is a very smart and sensible woman, just like Lee Jung-sook."
Song Yi understood what Cui Shanji said, and he did not blame Cui Shanji for her self-assertion. After all, Cui Shanji did not know that Song Yi was actually interested in the dragon cub Park Ji-yeon and was ready to train her well, while Cui Shanji thought that Song Yi was interested in Park Ji-yeon's mother, after all, there was a precedent like Li Jingshu.
He was somewhat helpless. Could it be that in Choi Sun-hee's eyes, he really intended to become the common father of the second-generation girl groups? The dragon cub appeared, and Tara's complete form would have to wait until around 2009, not so fast. Thank you for your monthly tickets (End of this chapter)
