Seeing that Zheng Yiping quickly got into work mode and quickly became familiar with colleagues such as Liao Yu, Song Yi flew to Seoul with peace of mind.
Song Yi first visited Chen Zaican and asked him what gift he prepared for his first visit to his father-in-law's house. Chen Zaican was a little surprised, "Kim Tae-hee is still in college, and you are not in a hurry to get married, why do you go to meet her family so early?"
Cui Shanji understood very well, "Director Song is not planning to get engaged, he just wants Tae Hee's parents to think that he is a boyfriend worth entrusting. In fact, when you meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time, you don't need to prepare too expensive gifts. You can just prepare cigarettes, alcohol, tea, Korean red ginseng, skin care products, etc. The main thing is to show your love."
"I remember you said that Tae Hee's family are all Catholics. When you eat with her family, remember to pray before eating together. Of course, you just need to keep silent. Also, remember not to tell jokes that hurt the feelings of believers, and it is best not to give gifts with religious symbols." Cui Shanji kindly reminded.
There are seven major religions in Korea: Catholicism, Christianity, Buddhism, Won Buddhism, Cheondoism, Korean national religion and Sungkyunkwan. Many wealthy families in Korea believe in Catholicism. The Korean Church has always been an important participant in Korean politics. The current president, Chung Hyo-tong, is a Catholic. The next presidential candidate is of course a Catholic. In the mid-1970s, 5,000 Catholics gathered together to oppose the military dictatorship of Chung Puk-sik.
South Korea's politics and economy are actually controlled by four forces: the South Korean government, the South Korean military, the US troops stationed in South Korea, and the chaebol forces. These four forces are intertwined and influence each other.
After the Korean War, many wealthy families in South Korea joined the church, such as Kim Tae-hee's family. Kim Tae-hee's father, Kim Yu-moon's company Tongyun Logistics, was commended by then-President Song Woo-seok in 2007, and the church also played a role in the matchmaking.
After learning from Choi Sun-hee, Song Yi felt relieved. It seemed that the gifts that Korean prospective sons-in-law would prepare were similar to those in China. Song Yi did not delay any longer and drove to Ulsan. Before leaving, Song Yi called his girlfriend and told her that Kim Tae-hee would be waiting for him at home.
Kim Tae Hee's home is located in Samsan-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan. It is a three-story villa with a lawn courtyard. The villa looks very natural, with a brown roof and white walls, surrounded by green trees, giving it a simple beauty. If you want to buy a villa of the same size in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, it will cost at least 5 billion won. No wonder Korean media say Kim Tae Hee is a white, rich and beautiful woman.
Song Yi's car had just stopped in front of Kim Tae-hee's yard. Kim Tae-hee in the house had heard the noise and came out happily to greet her boyfriend.
Song Yi took out a gift from the trunk and chatted with his girlfriend, "Are your parents home now?"
Kim Tae Hee helped her boyfriend carry the gifts, "Dad went to the company today and will be back for dinner in the evening. Mom, sister and Hyung Soo are all at home."
Song Yi knew that Kim Tae-hee had an older sister named Kim Hee-won, who was currently a flight attendant for Korean Air, and a younger brother Kim Hyung-soo who was still in high school.
MBC later made a special variety show for Kim Tae Hee, "Tae Hee Starts Again", and Kim Tae Hee's beautiful sister Kim Hee Won became a hot topic. Kim Hee Won's beauty is not inferior to Kim Tae Hee. After Kim Tae Hee became a famous actress, Kim Hee Hee went to the personal agency founded by Kim Tae Hee as a director.
Song Yi was a little surprised, "Didn't you say your sister had to go to work?" Song Yi felt more pressured every time he met another family member of Kim Tae-hee.
Kim Tae Hee explained, "My sister was supposed to go to work, but someone happened to switch shifts with her, so she stayed at home. Don't worry, my sister is easy to get along with, you will know when you meet her."
Song Yi walked into the villa, and Kim Tae Hee shouted to her family, "Oh mom, unnie, Hyung Soo, Executive Director Song is here."
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard on the stairs, and a tall and beautiful woman in a white sweater and blue jeans walked down. Obviously, this person was Kim Tae-hee's sister Kim Hee-won.
Kim Tae Hee introduced: "OPPA, this is my sister Kim Hee Won."
Song Yi quickly greeted, "Hello, sister."
Jin Xiyuan walked around Song Yi. Song Yi was holding the gift in embarrassment, not knowing whether to stand or sit.
Jin Xiyuan was amazed, "Tae Hee has been praising you, saying that you are a handsome guy. I thought she was just seeing beauty in her lover's eyes, but I didn't expect she wasn't bragging. Well, our Tae Hee is so good-looking, she must find a tall and handsome boyfriend."
Song Yi found a set of Amorepacific skincare products from the gift and said, "This is our first meeting, and I don't know what you like. I hope you won't dislike it."
Jin Xiyuan accepted the gift and was very happy. "Thank you. How did you know I liked this? Did Tae Hee tell you? Director Song is so thoughtful."
"Don't worry, mom also likes handsome guys, otherwise she wouldn't have married dad. I will definitely say a few good words for you later." Jin Xiyuan promised.
Song Yi immediately had a favorable impression of the sister-in-law he had just met. "Thank you, sister! If you fly to Seoul, please be sure to contact me so that we can treat you to a meal."
Jin Xiyuan invited Song Yi to sit down, and the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted. Jin Xiyuan asked Song Yi how he knew Kim Tae-hee, the process of their relationship, who confessed to whom, etc.
Kim Tae Hee was a little embarrassed, and pulled Kim Hee Won's arm and acted coquettishly, "Ouni, didn't I tell you all this? Why are you asking me again? I'm so embarrassed."
Kim Hee-won laughed, "What? You're starting to protect me now? When I was in college, I didn't even have a boyfriend. But you're dating since your sophomore year. I've had relationships before, so I'm going to learn from your experience." Kim Hee-won joked with her sister.
At this time, Kim Tae-hee's mother brought a plate of strawberries from the kitchen and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. Song Yi quickly stood up and greeted Kim's mother, "Hello, Auntie, I am Tae-hee's boyfriend Song Yi."
Mother Jin was wearing a Korean traditional dress and had her hair tied up. She looked kind and said, "Hello, I'm sorry to have you drive all the way here. Have some fruit first."
"Thank you, Auntie. By the way, this is the gift I brought you." The gift Song Yi prepared for Jin's mother was a set of high-end cosmetics from Amorepacific and Korean red ginseng.
Mother Jin took the gift and put it aside. "Thank you, Mr. Song. I'm sorry for your trouble. Please stay for dinner tonight. I'll start preparing dinner later."
As usual, Mother Jin asked about Song Yi's family situation. When she learned that Song Yi's father was a university professor and his mother was a bank clerk, the expression on her face softened.
Mother Jin was surprised that she didn't see her son, "Has Hyung-soo not come down yet?" It was the first time that his sister's boyfriend came to the house, and it would be very rude for his brother not to come down to greet the guest.
Jin Xiyuan volunteered, "Oh mom, Hengzhu might be surfing the Internet in his room. He might not hear me because he's wearing headphones. I'll go up and call him."
Just after she finished speaking, Kim Hee-won went upstairs again. Song Yi thought to himself, my sister-in-law is too lively. Does she treat passengers like this in the airline?  The first update is over. Kim Tae-hee's sister is indeed a great beauty.
