Kim Tae Hee's mother called her little daughter early in the morning to wish her a happy birthday. Kim's mother was very gossipy and asked her daughter Song Yi what gift she had prepared for her.
Kim Tae Hee was in a good mood, "OPPA was so secretive and didn't tell me anything, but I received the flowers he sent me this morning."
Kim's mother teased her daughter, "I hope you won't be looking forward to it all day, only to find out that flowers are the only birthday present."
Kim Tae Hee's attitude was very good, "That's not bad, at least I can receive flowers on my birthday and eat birthday cake with OPPA and sister."
Mother Jin asked her daughter, "I saw a report saying that New Asia Entertainment signed Song Hye Kyo. You and Song Hye Kyo became colleagues. Is that true?"
Jin Tae Hee was surprised, "Oh mom, don't you usually pay attention to entertainment news?"
Mother Jin was hesitant to speak. Rumors were flying all over the Internet. Some netizens said with certainty that the reason Song Hye Kyo switched to New Asia Entertainment was because Song Yi and Song Hye Kyo had an ambiguous relationship.
Kim's mother wanted to ask Kim Tae-hee about the rumors about Song Hye-kyo, but she finally held back. Today is Tae-hee's birthday, so there's no need to upset her.
Moreover, Hee-won and Tae-hee both work at Shin-A Entertainment. If Song Yi really has an affair with Song Hye-kyo, Hee-won will not just sit there and watch her sister being bullied by Song Yi.
"By the way, is Song Hye Kyo easy to get along with?" Mother Jin asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, mom. Song Hye Kyo has always been respectful to my sister in the company, and she doesn't act like a big shot. She has a good relationship with me." Kim Tae-hee comforted her mother. She knew what her mother was worried about.
Kim Tae Hee has been very busy recently, and Shinya Entertainment has arranged dance classes for her. After class every day, she has to come to the company to learn classical dance to prepare for Samdasu's new commercial. Shinya Entertainment has decided that Min Bingtian will be the director of the new commercial, which will be filmed in April at Changdeokgung Palace.
The two companies of Jeju Development Corporation have agreed that Kim Tae-hee will continue to star in Samdasoo's new advertisement. Kim Tae-hee's advertising endorsement fee is 200 million won, which is about 1.1 million yuan. For Kim Tae-hee, who has no film and television works, this endorsement is a sky-high price.
If Song Yi had not been the producer of Samdasu's new commercial, it would have been difficult for Kim Tae-hee to get such a high advertising pay.
After signing the contract, Jin Xuezheng and Song Yi joked, "President Song is both an athlete and a referee. We, Sam Da Shui, have no room for bargaining."
Kim Tae-hee is a contracted artist of Song Yi's company and the producer of the Samdasu advertisement, so it is understandable that Kim Hak-jung complained a little.
Song Yi said to Jin Xuezheng, "President Jin, don't worry, you get what you pay for. When the ad is aired, you will definitely think that the money spent is worth it."
On the morning of the 29th, Song Yi came to Jin Xiyuan's office and asked Jin Xiyuan to follow him. Jin Taixi had classes in the morning, and Song Yi planned to buy a car for his girlfriend and asked Jin Xiyuan to help him with some advice.
Jin Xiyuan said coquettishly, "Why didn't you knock on the door in the company? You almost scared me just now."
The sisters Jin Xiyuan and Song Yi were neighbors in S Apartment. As the two families often visited each other, they left their keys to each other. If Jin Xiyuan went to Song Yi's house for a meal, she didn't even need to knock on the door and often came uninvited.
"Were you slacking off at work and secretly reading online novels, so you didn't notice me coming in? Be careful or I'll deduct your salary." Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan joked.
Jin Xiyuan was not afraid, "You can deduct it. I will ask Taixi for the same amount as you deduct. Anyway, she is much richer than me now."
Kim Hee-won likes to read online novels on the Internet. The movie "My Sassy Girl" is actually adapted from an online novel.
Song Yi said to Jin Xiyuan: "If you really see a good online novel, please recommend it to me. If it has the potential to be adapted into a film or TV series, we can buy the copyright of the novel in advance. This is also a kind of investment."
Jin Xiyuan was delighted after hearing this, "Then if I read online novels while at work, it's considered work, so it doesn't count as slacking off, right?"
Song Yi was helpless, "Not counting."
Jin Xiyuan had a wild idea, "Then if I read online novels after get off work, does it count as overtime? Will I get overtime pay?"
Song Yi couldn't help but hit Jin Xiyuan, "What are you thinking about? You're just daydreaming!"
Jin Xiyuan touched her head and complained softly, "If it doesn't count, then it doesn't count. Why are you so fierce? How can you treat your sister-in-law like this? Be careful not to knock me silly, and then you will have to support me for the rest of my life."
Song Yi went to hold Jin Xiyuan's hand, "Sister, let's go quickly, we have to book a car today, if we go late, it will be too late."
Jin Xiyuan was very arrogant, "Humph, you're not buying me a car, why should I be in a hurry?"
Song Yi gave in. "How about this, if you help Tai Xi pick a car, I will give her a domestic car to travel with. How about that? Isn't that nice?"
Kim Hee-won had heard from her sister Kim Tae-hee that Song Yi was going to give her a car to make it easier for her to get to and from get off work, but she didn't take it seriously, thinking that Song Yi was just joking. Even an ordinary Hyundai or Samsung car would cost more than 20 million won (more than 100,000 yuan), so it was impossible to just give it away.
Jin Xiyuan looked at Song Yi with distrust in her eyes, "Song Yi, you arranged a job for me and bought me a car. Are you trying to support me?"
Song Yi's face was filled with black lines. Jin Xiyuan's train of thought was always so novel. He gave up and said, "In a word, yes or no?"
Jin Xiyuan happily took the handbag and took Song Yi's arm. "Of course I choose to take it. It's a free car, why not? I'm not stupid!" Song Yi sighed helplessly. How could Jin Xiyuan have a sister as smart as Kim Tae-hee? Maybe one is like the father and the other is like the mother? The 4S stores of imported cars in South Korea are concentrated in Gangnam District. After all, the consumer group of luxury cars is relatively fixed. Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan plan to go to the 4S stores of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Porsche. Fortunately, these stores are relatively close.
In 2001, Audi and Mercedes-Benz did not have any eye-catching models, and Kim Tae-hee was unwilling to buy a Porsche sports car. In the end, Song Yi and Kim Hee-won unanimously decided on BMW.
After comparison, Jin Xiyuan suggested that Song Yi buy a BMW M3, which is moderately priced and looks handsome, and Tae Hee will definitely like it.
The third generation M3 was launched in 2000. Compared with the previous two generations, the third generation E46 M3 has a more modern appearance, smoother lines, side fender logos, and flared rear wheel arches, which create a full performance style. Even the latest G80 M3 can still be seen in the shadow of E46. The third generation M3 is a qualitative leap compared with the previous two generations.
Jin Xiyuan test drove the M3. She touched the steering wheel and couldn't let go of the car. "Tae Hee has to go to school, so she definitely won't have much time to drive. When I buy a car, I'll swap cars with her."
The Seoul metropolitan area is home to nearly 20 million Koreans, accounting for two-fifths of the country's population. Their preferred means of transportation to work or school is generally buses or subways.
However, most families in South Korea still buy a car, because transportation between cities in South Korea is really inconvenient, especially for traveling with large and small bags and crossing mountains and hills. From the 38th parallel in the north of South Korea to Busan in the south, it is less than 500 kilometers, so driving to travel has become the first choice for Koreans.
Song Yi asked Jin Xiyuan, "Do you think Tae Hee likes white or blue?"
Jin Xiyuan thought about it for a while, "Tae Hee's style of wearing clothes is mostly white, but the blue M3 is obviously more handsome than the white one."
Song Yi didn't hesitate, "Okay, I'll listen to you. If Taixi doesn't like this color, we can apply a car body color-changing film."
Song Yi paid the down payment with his credit card, and then paid for the license plate and insurance fees. Of course, he chose Hyundai Insurance, which is a leading auto insurance company in South Korea based on Hyundai Motor's business.
Song Yi wanted to buy an imported car for Jin Xiyuan, but Jin Xiyuan refused. In her words, "Tae Hee is your girlfriend, so just buy her an imported car. I am just your employee, so just buy her a Hyundai, otherwise I will really think you want to support me."
"Tae Hee earns hundreds of millions of won a year, and she's an actress. The entertainment industry is full of people who love the rich and despise the poor, so it's in line with her status for her to drive a nice car. I'm just an office worker, there's no need for me to compare myself with Tae Hee." Kim Hee Won is indeed a clear-headed person.
Song Yi couldn't persuade Kim Hee-won, and finally bought her a third-generation Elantra at Hyundai 4S store. This car is called AVANTE XD in Korea. The third-generation Elantra has become the highest quality model among the A-class cars of the same level. Since it was launched in April 2000, it has been the sales champion in the Korean auto market. Since 2001, the third-generation Elantra's share of the Korean auto market has continued to exceed 60%, and it is considered the supreme model in the A-class car field.
Song Yi knew that the third-generation Elantra was the main model that Zhou Mengkui insisted on developing when he was the chairman of Hyundai Motor. The popularity of Elantra also proved Zhou Mengkui's ability to manage a large automobile company.
In 1996, Zhou Zhengyong's younger brother Zhou Shiyong stepped down as the chairman of Hyundai Motor and took the position of honorary chairman of Hyundai Motor, handing over the chairmanship of Hyundai Motor to his son Zhou Mengkui.
Zhou Mengkui served as the chairman of Hyundai Motor from 1996 to 1999. In 1999, Zhou Mengjiu, with the tacit consent of his father, seized power from his uncle Zhou Shiyong and his cousin Zhou Mengkui, and drove Zhou Shiyong and his son out of Hyundai Motor. Zhou Mengjiu officially became the chairman of Hyundai Motor.
As Zhou Zhengyong's younger brother, Zhou Shiyong had nothing but awe and obedience towards his elder brother Zhou Zhengyong. So when Zhou Zhengyong wanted to hand over Hyundai Motor to Zhou Mengjiu, he chose to back off and did not join forces with the management of Hyundai Motor to obstruct Zhou Mengjiu's succession, thus showing the unity of the Hyundai family to the outside world.
Zhou Mengkui's ability is not inferior to Zhou Mengjiu's, but he is not Zhou Zhengyong's son, so he cannot inherit the Hyundai Motor Group.
If Song Yi wants to enter the electric car market and surpass Hyundai Motor, Zhou Mengkui is undoubtedly the best partner. In the next two years, Song Yi can consider acquiring Daewoo Motor or Ssangyong Motor and use this car company as a foundation to build a Korean BYD or Tesla.
"OPPA, which color do you think I should choose?" Jin Xiyuan pushed Song Yi, interrupting his thoughts.
Song Yi felt surprised. Although Kim Hee-won was one year younger than Song Yi, she was Kim Tae-hee's sister. Song Yi would call her sister, but Kim Hee-won rarely called him OPPA.
In the company, Kim Hee-won would call him president, and when she got home, Kim Hee-won would usually call him brother-in-law or just call him by his name, so when Song Yi heard Kim Hee-won calling him OPPA, he was a little uncomfortable.
The salesperson at the 4S store reminded Song Yi, "Mr. Song, your girlfriend is hesitant between the two colors, Polar White and Phantom Black. She doesn't know which one to choose, so she needs your advice."
Song Yi originally wanted to explain that Jin Xiyuan was not his girlfriend, but buying a car for his girlfriend's sister seemed weird.
Song Yi looked at Jin Xiyuan's expectant eyes and gave her advice, "The white Elantra gives people a very sunny and confident feeling, and it is also safer to drive at night."
"The black Elantra looks more domineering and is more suitable for mature and stable men. So I still suggest you buy a white one. Then you can put on a fluorescent green color-changing film so that it won't easily clash with others' colors." Song Yi suggested.
Jin Xiyuan smiled sweetly and hugged Song Yi's shoulders intimately, "Okay, I'll listen to you. After all, you are the head of the family."
After completing the car purchase procedures, it was already afternoon. Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan decided to go to Seoul University to pick up Kim Tae Hee, and Song Yi also had to pick up a birthday cake on the way. The Hyundai Elantra and BMW M3 would be delivered to the downstairs of S Apartment, but Song Yi still drove the Mercedes-Benz to the Gwanak Campus of Seoul University. Song Yi parked the car outside the school gate and waited for Kim Tae Hee to finish class.
Song Yi in the car asked Jin Xiyuan, "Did you do that on purpose? You said I'm the head of the family, but you never listen to me at home. You shouldn't be a snake, you should be a cat. You're really rebellious."
Jin Xiyuan was helpless, "Who made the salesperson at the 4S store misunderstand our relationship? She asked me if I was married, and I said no, so she mistakenly thought you were my boyfriend. After all, it's common for boyfriends to accompany their girlfriends to 4S stores to buy cars."
"Please, you should be happy that a beautiful woman like me is pretending to be your girlfriend." Jin Xiyuan puffed out her chest.
Song Yi felt a headache. "It's not like I don't have a girlfriend, so why do I need your help to make a cameo appearance? If someone recognizes me, I'll have another scandal. Song Hye Kyo's scandal hasn't passed yet, and the entertainment newspapers might say that I've found a new lover and bought a car for her. You're deliberately destroying my reputation."
Jin Xiyuan chuckled and blinked her beautiful big eyes, "Does your reputation need to be ruined? You are a big pervert. Last time you even peeked at me changing clothes."
Song Yi was so scared that he kept coughing. "Don't talk nonsense. If Tai Xi heard it, he might misunderstand. I didn't know you changed clothes in the room without locking the door, and I left immediately at that time, so I didn't see anything."
Song Yi muttered quietly, "And I didn't know that you, at your age, would still wear Minnie's cartoon underwear."
Jin Xiyuan had very sharp ears, and couldn't help but pinch Song Yi hard, "You are such a bastard, you are so ungrateful."
Kim Hee-won was changing clothes at the time. When she saw Song Yi coming in, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to find a piece of clothing to cover herself. After Song Yi hurriedly left, she realized it and screamed. She was also speechless. She was obviously at a disadvantage, but she didn't dare to tell her sister Kim Tae-hee. But when she saw Song Yi running away from the room, she couldn't help laughing.
Although Song Yi has the key to Kim Hee-won's apartment, he seldom comes over. Basically, it is Kim Hee-won and Kim Tae-hee who come to play with him. The three of them like to spend time in Song Yi's apartment.
Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan joked, "According to our saying, if a boy accidentally sees a girl, he will get a stye. If something really happens to me, how will you compensate me for my mental loss?"
Jin Xiyuan looked at Song Yi's face. The man in front of her had such good skin condition that even a woman like Jin Xiyuan would envy him. Moreover, Song Yi also insisted on exercising, so he had no extra fat on his body.
He has a handsome appearance, tall stature, extensive knowledge, humorous conversation, and a strong sense of career ambition. Apart from being a little bit fickle, he is simply the model of a perfect boyfriend.
Jin Xiyuan thought that the reason why she tacitly accepted Song Yi as her boyfriend in front of the salesperson at the 4S store just now might be that she had quietly revealed her affection for Song Yi. When Jin Xiyuan read online novels, she would also substitute the male protagonist with Song Yi's image. She sighed inwardly that if Song Yi was not Tae Hee's boyfriend, she could still take the initiative to fight for him, even if she was accused of interfering in other people's feelings.
Jin Xiyuan suddenly became much gentler and looked at Song Yi, "How do you want me to compensate you?"
Song Yi didn't know what was happening in Jin Xiyuan's heart, and he made an exorbitant demand, "How about giving me a kiss like in Disney?"
Song Yi thought Jin Xiyuan would pinch him again to tell him not to be so wishful thinking, but the next second Jin Xiyuan kissed Song Yi, but this time the kiss was not on the face.
Song Yi felt the softness of Jin Xiyuan's lips and was stunned for a moment. When their lips parted, Song Yi felt his breathing quicken.
After Jin Xiyuan took the initiative to kiss Song Yi, her face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Song Yi.
Song Yi wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, "Did I remember the wrong date? Is today my birthday? This shouldn't be a benefit for birthday people, right?"
Jin Xiyuan smiled suddenly, so beautiful that Song Yi immediately understood the line "a single smile can bring out all kinds of charms".
Jin Xiyuan said stubbornly, "This is my reward for you pretending to be my boyfriend, and it is also an advance payment for your stye. This is just a way for good friends to express friendship. It has no representative meaning, so don't think too much about it."
Song Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Jin Xiyuan had a crush on him, but he was also afraid that Jin Xiyuan would take the initiative to distance herself from him in order to avoid suspicion. Although he could accept Jin Xiyuan's estrangement and expressed his understanding, he still felt an inexplicable loss. After being reborn, Song Yi certainly became more greedy in terms of feelings.
What Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan didn't know was that when the two of them were kissing in the car, an acquaintance of Song Yi happened to return to school and saw Song Yi's car. She was about to greet Song Yi in the car, but accidentally saw Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan kissing. This had a great impact on her heart, and she left the campus in a hurry without saying hello to Song Yi.
Song Yi and Kim Hee-won stayed in the car for more than twenty minutes. Kim Tae-hee and her best friend Lee Hyun-jin walked up to Song Yi arm in arm.
Today, Kim Tae-hee wore a white sweater, a black short jacket, blue jeans and high heels, looking very graceful. Because of her birthday, Kim Tae-hee rarely put on light makeup.
Kim Tae Hee was very happy to see Song Yi and Kim Hee Won, "Sister, OPPA, Hyun Jin is back at school, can you have dinner with us and help me celebrate my birthday?"
Song Yi looked at Li Xianzhen, who was wearing a light apricot skirt and a black coat to keep out the cold. Li Xianzhen had fair skin, so it looked as if she was not wearing anything under the coat.
The last time Song Yi met Lee Hyun Jin was on New Year's Eve last year. The two went to Bosingak to celebrate the New Year together and met the cute little girl Xu Zhuxian. Lee Hyun Jin later cooked rice cake soup in Song Yi's apartment, which means "one year older".
Perhaps because of the hardship of her internship at SBS, Lee Hyun-jin lost a lot of weight compared to three months ago and looked slimmer. Lee Hyun-jin greeted Song Yi and Kim Hee-won, but she seemed to be in a bad mood.
Song Yi joked with Li Xianzhen, "Xianzhen, why have you lost weight recently? Is the SBS work meal not so delicious?"
Li Xianzhen's attitude was completely different from that on New Year's Eve. He was cold and frosty. He said to Song Yi seriously, "Song Yi, you should pay more attention to your girlfriend. I can take care of myself. I don't need Song Yi to worry about me."
Lee Hyun Jin's words made Song Yi, Kim Tae Hee and Kim Hee Won all very embarrassed. Kim Tae Hee apologized on behalf of Lee Hyun Jin, "OPPA, Hyun Jin has been troubled by the head of their department recently, and her job promotion may not be going smoothly. She may not be in a good mood. She didn't mean it. Sorry."
Song Yi expressed his understanding, "It's okay, I understand, this is also my problem, I didn't keep a distance from the female friends around me, which made Tae Hee feel insecure, it's my problem, Hyun Jin is right to remind me, I will work hard to correct it."
"Hyun-jin belongs to the news department. I have a big news that can help SBS News Department become the focus. You should prepare in the next two days and someone will contact you when the time comes." Song Yi did not explain what the big news was.
Li Xianzhen looked at Song Yi and thanked him softly, "Thank you, Brother Song Yi."
Kim Tae Hee smiled and said to Lee Hyun Jin, "Since OPPA has decided to make a move, there will be no problem with Hyun Jin's promotion. Well, now that the work problem has been solved, relax, let's have a good meal, and then go to KTV to sing and relieve your stress."
Li Xianzhen felt that her anger was groundless. Didn't she know what kind of person Song Yi was on New Year's Eve? He was not her boyfriend, so she didn't have to be angry about Song Yi's fickleness. She looked at her best friend Jin Taixi and secretly made a wish, "Taexi, I hope you can always live this simple and happy life and not encounter emotional troubles."
Song Yi was driving and asked when Li Xianzhen returned to school. Jin Taixi felt strange and asked Song Yi, "Xianzhen just returned to school. She saw OPPA's car at the school gate. Didn't OPPA and sister see Xianzhen?"
When Song Yi heard Jin Taixi's words, his body suddenly felt like it was falling into an ice cave. If Li Xianzhen saw Song Yi's car, it would be impossible for her not to come forward and say hello. If Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan didn't notice Li Xianzhen at that time, there was only one possibility.  The first update is completed. Thank you for your support. Once again, I reiterate that this book is a harem novel.
