Chapter 402: Soft Rice Man
Chapter 402: Soft Rice Man
At nightfall, Yanzhou Road, Jiangnan District.
The black Chevrolet was parked in a not very large parking lot. In the back seat of the car, An Rushong tilted his head and looked through the brown glass window at the Japanese izakaya called "Yamada Sushi" not far away.
This was his second time coming to this place. The izakaya was still the same, but the banner outside the shop had changed. Of course, only the color had changed.
The person driving for An Rushong tonight is still Jenny. However, tomorrow night, Sun Manzhu and the others will return to Seoul, and Jenny, the temporary hostess of the Inwangsan Villa, will have to return to her job. At that time, An Rushong's driver will be replaced by Luo Minzhi.
However, this car will be left to An Rushong. After driving this big car for a while, An Rushong has already liked it a little. Even if Jenny doesn't give this car to him, he will buy one himself.
The last time he came here, Quan Zhihui, the host, specifically closed the izakaya, so An Rusong didn't see any other guests here that night. However, the situation tonight seemed different. When Jenny drove into the parking lot, there were already two cars parked in this small parking lot.
Of the two cars, one is an ordinary-looking Hyundai sedan, while the other is a rather cool blue Bentley.
Jenny parked the car in the parking space, turned off the engine, turned back and asked through the partition window: "Do you want me to go in with you?"
"No need," An Rusong opened the car door, bent down and got out of the car, and said casually, "If you feel bored, just go find a place nearby to eat something. I'll call you when things are over here."
Jenny didn't say anything. She leaned back in the driver's seat and lit a cigarette for herself.
An Rushong closed the car door, straightened his suit, and then walked towards the entrance of the izakaya.
At the entrance of the izakaya, a young man in a white suit was smoking a cigar. He was talking on the phone with someone and kicking the bottom of the door frame.
When An Rushong walked over, he heard the young man jokingly saying to the person on the phone: ".Very flirty, the sound when she screams is so exciting. How about this, next time I will take you with me and let you try it too. Hehe"
The light from above the entrance of the izakaya shone down on the young man's face. An Rushong could see the other person's appearance clearly even though he was a few steps away.
The young man looked to be at most 26 or 27 years old, with a clean-shaven face and soft facial lines. The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose gave him a bright and sunny look. However, the voice and tone of this guy were really vulgar. When An Rusong passed by, he couldn't help but look at him twice.
Perhaps he sensed something, or perhaps because he heard footsteps, the young man turned his head and glanced at An Rushong who was passing by him. As a result, their eyes met in the air.
When he saw the young man's face, An Rushong frowned, not for any other reason, but simply because he felt that the young man looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
When the young man saw An Rushong, he frowned unconsciously, but then he made a move, which was to put the mobile phone in his left hand, then raised his right hand, glared at An Rushong, and made a punching gesture towards him.
The young man's series of actions translated into: What are you looking at? If you look again, I will cut you!
My goodness, young people are so impulsive.
An Rushong didn't bother with the other party. He smiled and shook his head, took two steps forward, reached out to lift the curtain at the entrance of the pub, and walked straight in.
To An Rushong's surprise, there were no customers in the pub. Only behind the bar, there was a woman with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing a pink kimono, who was busy with something with her head down.
Hearing the noise at the door, the woman raised her head and glanced towards An Rushong. A smile instantly appeared on her beautiful face.
"President An, welcome," the woman greeted and bowed to An Rushong.
The woman was Quan Zhihui. An Rushong bowed to her in return but said nothing.
"Please take a seat, Chairman An," Kwon Ji-hye pointed to the seat in front of the bar and said, "What would you like to drink?"
"Water, please," An Rusong walked over and found a bar stool to sit on. Seeing a pack of cigarettes on the table, he reached out and took it and lit one for himself. "Wait a moment," Quan Zhihui smiled at him and turned to prepare water for him.
Almost at the same time, footsteps were heard again at the door. An Rushong turned his head and saw the young man who was at the door just now walking in with big strides, putting his cell phone into his trouser pocket as he walked.
When Quan Zhihui brought a glass of water to An Rusong, the young man happened to walk to the bar. He sat down on the bar stool one seat away from An Rusong. He first glanced at An Rusong, then looked at Quan Zhihui at the bar, and said casually: "Zhihui, give me a glass of wine. You know what I like to drink."
Quan Zhihui smiled faintly again, then turned around, took a bottle of wine from the wine rack behind him, poured a glass, and pushed it in front of the young man.
The young man watched her push the wine glass in front of him, and suddenly reached out to grab her hand. However, Quan Zhihui had obviously been prepared for this move and pulled her hand back vigilantly.
"Chairman An, let me introduce you," Kwon Ji-hye avoided the harassment of the young man and kept a faint smile on her face, saying nonchalantly, "This is Yin Zhen, Representative Yin. Representative Yin is here tonight on behalf of LG Telecom."
After that, she looked at Yin Zhen again and said, "Representative Yin, this is President An Rusong of NGN."
An Rushong suddenly realized that the so-called LG Telecom was actually "LG Telecom", a subsidiary of the LG Group that mainly engages in telecommunications business. It is also the predecessor of "LG U+", one of the three major mobile communications operators in South Korea.
After 2012, "LG U+" was a very powerful company in South Korea. It was the first mobile communications operator in South Korea to complete the 4G layout, and it occupied a large proportion in the domestic mobile communications map.
However, in 2008, the so-called LG Telecom is having a miserable time. Even its 3G mobile operating license has been revoked by the South Korean government. In other words, the company only has the title of a mobile communications operator and can no longer conduct business legally.
Of course, it was not the current South Korean President Lee Min-bo who revoked its operating license, but the former President Roh. President Roh issued the order two years ago in 2006, which directly brought LG Telecom down.
Some time ago, An Rushong heard some rumors that the current head of LG Group, Chairman Gu, was working with the Blue House, hoping to get Lee Min-bo's permission to help LG regain its operating license.
As for Representative Yoon Jung-Yoon, although Kwon Ji-hye did not introduce him in detail, An Rusong still thought of his true identity.
Speaking of LG Group, the top conglomerate in South Korea, its head is naturally the current Chairman Gu. Born in 1945, Chairman Gu is now over years old and is said to be in poor health. Therefore, the task of determining the next head of the entire group is placed before Chairman Gu.
The chaebols in South Korea are all hereditary, and the so-called son inherits the father's business, which is nothing more than this. The Gu family is no exception. However, the problem now is that Chairman Gu has only one son and two daughters in his life. Unfortunately, his only biological son Gu Yuanmou died in a car accident more than ten years ago.
At that time, in order to solve the issue of succession, Chairman Gu adopted a child from his brother's family under his own name, who is now Gu Gwang-moo.
On the surface, Chairman Gu adopted his brother's child, so this child will definitely inherit the entire LG Group in the future. However, in recent years, there have been some rumors that Chairman Gu adopted Gu Guangmou in order to relieve the pressure from within the family. He did not intend to really hand over the LG Group to an adopted son one day in the future. His real intention was to hand over the group to Gu Yanjing, one of the two daughters.
Although this rumor has no reliable source, it is not without trace. After all, Chairman Gu attaches great importance to the training of Gu Yanjing, and even his daughter took over the power of LG Welfare Foundation early on under his own arrangement.
Yes, the representative Yoon Jung who is sitting next to An Rusong is Gu Yanjing's husband. If Gu Yanjing really takes over the entire LG Group in the future, Yoon Jung's status will also rise. Even if the two are divorced, this guy will definitely be worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.
So, they do have the capital to be so arrogant.
An Rusong was willing to make friends with such a wealthy person, so when Quan Zhihui introduced the two, he took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you, Representative Yin."
Unexpectedly, his outstretched hand was directly ignored by the other party. Yin Zhen didn't even look at him, but continued to look at Quan Zhihui and said, "Zhihui, I'm not interested in meeting some unknown people. Do you know why I came here tonight? Let's get to the point."
At this point, he raised his left hand, shook his sleeves, revealed the watch on his wrist, glanced at the time, and chuckled, "Now that we've finished our business, if we have enough time, maybe we can have a couple of drinks. I mean, just the two of us."
An Rushong didn't feel embarrassed when his kindness didn't get a response from the other party. He shook his head, smiled, and took his hand back calmly.
At this moment, what he was thinking was: He is just a pretty boy who comes for dinner, but he really thinks he is an important person?
