On the afternoon of the same day when Zhang Junfeng received Li Yanhong and others, a strange phone call suddenly came in.
Zhang Junfeng answered the call with some suspicion, and soon an unexpectedly familiar voice came from the other end, "President Zhang Junfeng, do you still remember the agreement between us? I have arrived in Seoul, Goryeo~!"
"...You came to Seoul?!" Zhang Junfeng, who had identified the other party, was a little surprised. He had never expected that Ayumi Hamasaki would actually come from Japan. Could it be that after so long, this woman still remembered what she said casually before?"
"Yes, I'm in the hotel where I stayed before. The company recently gave me a vacation so that I can have a good rest. I will stay here for three or four days. If President Zhang Junfeng wants to hear me sing, you can come over anytime~!"
Hearing that Ayumi Hamasaki was still flirting with him, Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but twitch his lips. Good man, was he teased by a woman? ! However, since the other party had taken the initiative to this extent, it would be a bit unreasonable for him to not show any reaction at all. Zhang Junfeng then comforted the other party with a few words before hastily hanging up the phone.
The reason for doing this is mainly because he is a little worried that Ayumi Hamasaki is a very persistent woman. Since she is determined to find him, if he chooses to avoid her, then if she loses confidence and finally comes to him directly, it will be difficult for him to deal with it.
Ayumi Hamasaki is now a popular singer in Japan, with the same status as the top female singers in Dragon Country. If she is photographed by some nosy news media, it will be a lot of fun! Especially since Comet Capital is not far from Galaxy Group, if any gossip is accidentally passed on, who knows if Li Fuzhen will cause trouble for him? He doesn't want his family to be at odds because of someone~!
…
Just when Zhang Junfeng was still worrying about how to deal with Ayumi Hamasaki, the phone that had just been hung up rang again. What Zhang Junfeng didn't expect was that the caller was Kim Tae-hee, with whom Zhang Junfeng had an intimate relationship.
"Oppa Junfeng, do you have time these two days? I have something I want to talk to you about in person..." Kim Tae-hee's soft voice came from the phone.
"Oh my god, did I stir up a hornet's nest today? They all contacted me on the same day?" Zhang Junfeng complained crazily in his heart.
First it was Ayumi Hamasaki, then Kim Tae-hee. He didn't know how to deal with it at this moment! However, Zhang Junfeng, who had experienced many ups and downs, still pretended to be calm and replied calmly, "... There are still some things to deal with at the company. How about we meet at a place after work today?"
"...Sure, as long as Junfeng Oppa is free. Then let's meet at Tingyue Café in Gangnam District?"
Zhang Junfeng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Didn't we meet at a restaurant? Are you going to drink coffee at dinner time? Don't you want to sleep well tonight?!"
Hearing Zhang Junfeng say this, Jin Taixi didn't know how to answer for a moment. She just thought that the atmosphere in the coffee shop might be more suitable for them to talk about some things, and didn't consider other aspects.
"Let's go to the Born & Bred restaurant in the central district. I'll have someone reserve a private room. You can just go there when the time comes."
"Okay." When Kim Tae-hee heard Zhang Junfeng's suggestion to meet somewhere else, she had no objection and agreed.
…
As night fell, Zhang Junfeng, escorted by bodyguards, successfully arrived at the Born & Bred restaurant located on a busy street in Gangnam District.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Zhang Junfeng quickly arrived at the private room that had been booked in advance.
Looking at Kim Tae-hee, who was wearing light makeup and simple clothes, Zhang Junfeng asked the waiter to prepare a hot soup first, and then handed the menu to Kim Tae-hee, indicating that she could choose her favorite dishes first.
…
After ordering, Zhang Junfeng asked curiously. After the incident between him and Kim Tae Hee, there was no movement for almost a week. Now she suddenly came to him, most likely she had encountered some problems!
Seeing Zhang Junfeng asking her, Kim Tae-hee hesitated for a while, and then said hesitantly, "...It's like this. These past few days, my parents think that I'm successful in my career now, and they hope that I can consider getting married."
"If I am willing, they will arrange for me to meet the children of some big companies and big families..."
As Jin Tae-hee spoke, she quietly observed the changes in Zhang Junfeng's expression. She was also a little curious about Zhang Junfeng's attitude towards her. After all, after what happened, it would be difficult for her to simply treat Zhang Junfeng as the leader of the company as before.
Zhang Junfeng suddenly heard the bad news, and the smile on his face paused. After a while, he asked calmly, "...So, do you want to marry someone else?"
"I... I have no plans to get married for the time being." When asked about her views on marriage, Kim Tae-hee shook her head reluctantly. Although she had never been in a relationship, she was always reluctant to marry those unfamiliar chaebol children.
Over the years, there have been many scandals and misdeeds involving members of these large enterprises and chaebols in Goryeo. If it weren't for the fact that the relevant departments secretly eliminated the negative impact, I'm afraid few of these guys would have escaped prison!
However, Kim Tae-hee, who had faith, could not refuse her parents' kindness. In the past few days, when she was thinking about how to communicate with her parents, she subconsciously thought of Zhang Junfeng, the man with whom she had the closest relationship. She always felt that he would have a way to solve the problem for her, so she called him as if possessed by a ghost.
…
Seeing Kim Tae-hee's somewhat nervous look, Zhang Junfeng roughly guessed her true thoughts.
"In that case, please go back and tell Chairman Jin Yuwen that I will visit Goryeo Express Logistics in the near future."
"...Since some things have already happened, I, Zhang Junfeng, still have the courage to face and bear the responsibilities. I will try my best to satisfy whatever you want. But I may not be able to give you a grand wedding..."
Hearing about Zhang Junfeng's sudden proposal to visit her and the wedding, Kim Tae-hee was a little confused. She had never thought about what Zhang Junfeng said!
If Zhang Junfeng came to her house, would he confront his father Jin Yuwen? Would her parents think that she was the third party who interfered with Zhang Junfeng's marriage... Many thoughts flashed through her mind, making her feel inexplicably flustered for a moment.
"Oppa Junfeng, you... want to see my father?" Kim Tae-hee asked the other party nervously.
"That's right. If we want to solve these problems once and for all, some things are unavoidable. I will explain it clearly to President Kim." Zhang Junfeng showed a bright smile on his face. If he was not mistaken, Kim Tae-hee seemed to be nervous!
"Could it be that she thinks that I want to confront her father, acknowledge the special relationship between the two of us, and make her her lover?" Zhang Junfeng guessed secretly in his heart, although he had thought about doing so.
But before he was sure of the attitude of the parent, Kim Yu-mun, he would not rashly explain the relationship between him and Kim Tae-hee. After all, if this matter was leaked, neither he nor the Five-Star Lee Family would benefit in any way.
But if Kim Tae Hee misunderstood, then let her misunderstand for now. After all, some things may have the opposite effect if they are explained clearly, and have a negative impact on the matter.
…
Perhaps because she was feeling even more anxious, Kim Tae-hee had no appetite when faced with a table full of delicious food. She just looked at Zhang Junfeng with hesitation, not knowing whether she should speak up to stop Zhang Junfeng's plan.
After dinner, Zhang Junfeng asked the driver to take the two of them back to send Kim Tae-hee home. On the way, Zhang Junfeng suddenly grabbed Kim Tae-hee's cold hand and said gently, "Go back and have a good rest. I will take care of the rest!"
Feeling the warmth coming from her hands, a faint blush appeared on Kim Tae-hee's slightly pale face, and then she nodded slightly.
…
"... President, shall I send you back to your residence next?" the bodyguard who was driving asked subconsciously.
"…I'm not going back to my place. Let's go to the Four Seasons Hotel first~!" Zhang Junfeng thought for a while and quickly made a decision. He planned to take advantage of this moment to deal with Ayumi Hamasaki all at once, so as to avoid any more troubles later.
When I finished washing up, changed into pajamas and prepared to rest in the hotel room, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"I shouldn't have requested any room service from the front desk, right?" Hearing the knock on the door again, Ayumi Hamasaki got up and walked to the door. After seeing the familiar face of Zhang Junfeng through the peephole, she opened the door and welcomed him in.
"Why didn't President Zhang Junfeng say hello before he came here..." Just when Ayumi Hamasaki wanted to complain a little, Zhang Junfeng forcefully hugged her in his arms and then blocked her lips.
Facing such a "sudden attack", Ayumi Hamasaki was indeed beaten back repeatedly at first and was exhausted from parrying. After gradually adapting, she began to organize a counterattack with all her strength, which made this sudden battle last until late at night.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
The next morning, Zhang Junfeng got up and packed up, then came to the bed and looked at Ayumi Hamasaki who had already woken up. Zhang Junfeng smiled and teased, "It seems that our versatile singer is not very strong. If she has a concert in the future, I'm afraid she will run out of energy halfway through it?"
Hearing Zhang Junfeng's teasing words, the somewhat tired Ayumi Hamasaki fiercely rolled her eyes at the guy who was making sarcastic remarks. If she had been out of strength, she would definitely make the other party pay the price~!
However, her petite stature meant that she was destined to be at a disadvantage in the contest with Zhang Junfeng, and even if they fought again, the outcome would probably not change much.
…
The next morning, when Kim Tae-hee got up and went downstairs to have breakfast as usual, her father, Kim Yu-mun, who had already been enjoying breakfast at the table, glanced at his daughter who was not in a good mood and asked tentatively, "Who was the one who sent you home yesterday? Could it be that our precious daughter has a boyfriend?"
Hearing what Kim Yu-mun said, Kim Tae-hee looked a little flustered, but with her superb acting skills, she quickly reacted and retorted, "Dad, what are you thinking? That's Zhang Junfeng, the chairman of Comet Capital! I happened to meet him outside, and he thought I was a popular artist under SM Entertainment, so he took the initiative to offer to send me back!"
When Jin Tae-hee suddenly mentioned that Zhang Junfeng, a big shot, personally sent his daughter back, Jin Yuwen, who was originally teasing his daughter, did not dare to continue to delve into this topic for a moment.
Of course, as an elder, Kim Yu-mun did not forget to remind his daughter Kim Tae-hee with a smile that if she had the opportunity, she could have more contact with Zhang Junfeng, the chairman of Comet Capital, which would also be beneficial to her career.
But he didn't know that his daughter had already had close contact with Zhang Junfeng.
…
"By the way, President Zhang Junfeng also asked me to tell you that he will visit Korea Express Logistics Group in the next few days and has something to discuss with you..." In order to divert his father Kim Yu-mun's attention, Kim Tae-hee decisively told him what Zhang Junfeng had said to him before.
"...Huh? Chairman Zhang Junfeng is coming to visit Korea Express Logistics Group?! Did he tell him what it is about?" Jin Yuwen seemed quite surprised when he heard the news from his daughter.
Zhang Junfeng, the big shot in charge of Comet Capital, wants to meet him? He also wants to discuss something with him? What's going on? !
The somewhat careless Jin Yuwen did not notice the change in Jin Tae-hee's expression, but was obviously misled by the other party's words, and started to wonder what Zhang Junfeng was going to discuss with him.
Kim's mother didn't pay attention to what the father and daughter were discussing. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her, a pampered rich lady. All she had to do was take care of the daily life of the old and the young. So she called the servant and asked him to bring Kim Tae-hee's breakfast from the kitchen.
Seeing the delicious breakfast being served in front of her, Kim Tae-hee, who was already feeling a little hungry, ignored Kim Yu-mun who was still thinking, and started to taste it in small bites.
…
As time goes by, more and more companies that undertake Jeju Island tourism projects have gradually discovered many difficult issues. The first one to bear the brunt is the obvious increase in sea transportation costs.
Many companies that were severely tricked by Hanjin Shipping under the Galaxy Group were also quite annoyed! Especially when they later found out that Zhang Junfeng, the head of Comet Capital, was actually the advocate of the Jeju Island tourism project and did not participate in it, many smart corporate executives gradually realized that something was wrong!
If there is really no problem with this Jeju Island tourism project, why didn't Comet Capital and even Galaxy Group get involved? ! This is most likely a trap designed by others long ago! ...
Of course, there are not many corporate executives who have such thoughts. After all, if Comet Capital and Zhang Junfeng were really so insidious, then how could the Five Star Group and the New Modern Group, which are close to them, participate in the bidding for the project and win some of the sub-projects?
However, these companies are quite dissatisfied with the increase in freight rates by Hanjin Shipping Company! They have also tried to visit Hanjin Shipping together, trying to put pressure on Hanjin Shipping to reduce the shipping costs.
However, Cui Hongyuan, the president of Hanjin Shipping, was quite tough, saying that once the freight rate was lowered, Hanjin Shipping would be in a bad state of operating at a loss. Hanjin Shipping was not a charity, and it was impossible to operate at a loss and let these companies take advantage of it!
…
In response to this stalemate, Shin Go-ho and Choi Tae-won, the chairmen of Yuetian Group and SK Group, have also tried to seek help from the Blue House, asking them to mediate and put pressure on the Galaxy Group to ultimately achieve the goal of reducing freight rates.
However, Galaxy Group's chairman Lee Boo-jin also showed a very tough attitude. When negotiating with the representatives sent by the Blue House, he took out all the data on the rise and fall of international oil prices in recent years and stated righteously that the current international oil prices have increased significantly compared with previous years, and Hanjin Shipping's profits have already been greatly reduced.
If they lower the freight rate as they requested, Hanjin Shipping will suffer a significant loss. In order to prevent the company from going bankrupt and save the jobs of thousands of employees (thousands in China, and more than 10,000 employees in other countries), they can only give up these shipping orders and look for suitable orders from other Asian countries and regions!
