My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 12 Zhang Bichen (Part 2)

Faced with Zhang Ping'an's sudden dinner invitation, Zhang Bichen looked at him with wide eyes unexpectedly. To be honest, the sudden invitation is really a bit strange, and of course there is a sense of surprise that cannot be expressed. All kinds of emotions are kneaded together, and I feel very weird.

Because after the debut of their group failed, she had a contract, so she couldn't leave the mess here and run away. So she could only stay in Korea alone, and problems arose immediately after staying here, because daily consumption in Seoul is also very expensive, especially when it comes to 'eating'.

Now she is an artist, but she doesn't have a penny of income. Her source of income in South Korea is to rely on reaching out to her family to beg for living expenses to get by, but she still can't bear to ask for money every month. So in daily life, she lives as she saves.

Anyway, she lives alone, and no one will know if she eats better or worse at home alone. Seriously, it's been a long time since she had a good dinner.

So when faced with Zhang Pingan's invitation to eat, a desire for 'food' in her heart was aroused, and she really wanted to agree. But this is not to say that she is greedy, but a very natural psychology.

Because most of them use the cheapest food to cope with it on weekdays, and when they suddenly heard the word 'eat', those delicious dishes automatically appeared in their minds, and their nerves were stimulated by the automatic reaction of their minds.

Looking at Zhang Bichen, who was in a daze, Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "I know that the agency has very strict requirements on the body management of your girl groups. Many idols don't talk about how hard it is to lose weight on the show, but they are continuous. A few months of weight loss meals, if you want to eat some carbohydrates like flour, you have to hide and eat them carefully in the bathroom. And you still wipe your tears while eating. I just saw that you didn’t have an agent with you today, so I thought I’m going to treat you to a meal. And you also know that it’s strange to eat barbecue alone in Korea, right?”

In Korea, it is rare to go to barbecue alone. If you are alone, most of them choose noodle restaurants or convenience stores. Of course, there is also the simplest way to take out. Street food stores are usually visited by two or more people.

Zhang Ping'an was not used to this when he first came to Korea from RB. At that time, he ate alone in a Korean restaurant, and he always felt that there were countless eyes staring at him.

Whether it's Huaxia or Zhang Pingan's RB studying abroad, it's very common to eat alone. In particular, RB has achieved a perfect degree of "one-person diet".

But South Korea.. Especially when Zhang Pingan came to Korea in 2010, it was very lonely to eat alone, so when he eats alone, the Koreans around him will feel that he is very pitiful!

That's right, eating alone is pitiful in the eyes of Koreans. This is a cultural difference!

Zhang Bichen certainly understands this cultural surprise, regardless of what Zhang Ping'an's motives are for inviting her to dinner at this time. In the end, she didn't resist the temptation of delicious food, or had a basic trust in people from the same country, so she agreed: "Okay, let's go together."

"Thank you. Let's go, my car is parked over there."

Originally thought that Zhang Ping'an's car would be a car made in Korea, or a second-hand car, because Korean cars are cheaper. If it is transportation, the domestic or second-hand ones here are completely sufficient.

As a result, when she saw the brand new Mercedes-Benz, she was stunned for a few seconds: "Driving such a nice car? Are you an executive?"

Earlier, she mistakenly thought that Zhang Ping'an worked in a big company, and after seeing the vehicle, she thought he might be an executive. Zhang Pingan didn't explain anything, just smiled and invited her to get in the car.

After starting the car, Zhang Ping'an drove on the streets of Seoul familiarly, without even using the navigation. Because the Cheongdam Cave where his home is located and the location of the TV station are the roads he has traveled the most times in recent years,

He was so familiar with it that he couldn't be more familiar with it. He even knew exactly when there would be a big traffic jam on this road.

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Apart from your daily practice, do you spend the rest of your time working part-time?"

"Well, the consumption in South Korea is too high. Although my family sends money every month, it's good that I can earn some part-time job. I didn't know that life in a foreign country is really difficult until after my debut, especially if we don't have The idols who made waves don’t earn a penny.”

Without fame, there is no schedule, and without schedule, there is no income. Everyone understands this truth, and she doesn't need to hide anything.

Zhang Pingan said with relief: "Being an artist here, the income is low. Especially in Korea, it is difficult to make a fortune if you can't reach the top. There are still many famous idols who can't make much money. Take missA. Said, besides Xiuzhi, who else in the entire group can make money? That is, the two Huaxia members are lucky, missA's sharing agreement is that the group will share equally, which means that Xiuzhi earns money to support everyone, but this balance will be broken sooner or later."

Zhang Bichen smiled wryly and shook his head: "Being an idol requires a certain amount of luck in it. Big companies have special promotional operations, and they can't guarantee that all idols will be successful. Small companies like us...lucky It's even more important. Maybe I'm just unlucky?"

"That's not necessarily the case. As a Chinese person, I must have heard the saying 'Move trees to die, people move to live.' You can try to go back to China to find opportunities. The market there is bigger and the demand is also great. Especially in the past two years Huaxia is vigorously developing the entertainment industry, this is a good opportunity. You have a good singing ability, and it is also an opportunity to go back to participate in the talent show."

As an ordinary person, Zhang Bichen was still quite afraid of the "contract". She shook her head and said, "How can it be so simple to return to China? I signed the contract here."

"Korean artist contract? Hehe, to be honest, I just bully someone who doesn't understand anything like you. To me, it's just a piece of waste paper, and it can't stand the court ruling. If you want to go back to China to develop, I I can help you with the contract matters."

"Eh..." Zhang Bichen looked at Zhang Ping'an in a strange way, she was a little elusive as to what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd?

Taking a look at Zhang Bichen's expression, Zhang Pingan smiled kindly at her and didn't say anything more.

The vehicle fell into silence, and soon the two arrived at a well-known barbecue restaurant in Cheongdam-dong. Famous enough to be famous, but the barbecue in this restaurant is very expensive, because they only sell the best Korean beef! !

Looking at this restaurant, Zhang Bichen smiled and said, "I know this barbecue is very expensive."

Zhang Pingan looked up at the signboard and said with a smile, "Let's go, this one is a bit more expensive, but the taste is really good."

Zhang Bichen, who was following Zhang Ping'an, raised his eyebrows slightly, and followed him into the restaurant. The two chose a seat by the window, and the waiter delivered the menu.

Zhang Bichen took the menu and looked at the price written on it, she really felt embarrassed to order. The cheapest cold noodles cost 10,000 yuan per serving? This is at most 4,000 in alley restaurants, and it is only 6,000 in better restaurants, but here is a direct price of 10,000? Well, who here is Cheongdam-dong!

Seeing that she didn't order, Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "I just ordered some casually?"

Zhang Bichen closed the menu and nodded, and then she felt heartache when she heard Zhang Pingan's order. 'Sparse ribs, sauced ribs, top loin, ribeye, special parts. Then I ordered two more cold noodles to relieve the greasiness. '

She did a simple calculation, and the meal cost at least 400,000 yuan, which is almost one-third of the wages of salaried workers.

When the waiter left to declare the bill, Zhang Bichen said to Zhang Pingan: "So many orders? Can the two of us finish?"

"It's enough to eat. When eating steak, one person should eat about 300g, right? I figured it out, we ordered about 500g of meat. Excluding the weight of the bones, it's about the same."

Zhang Bichen could only nod and smile. I thought, 'Okay, you've said that, let's eat it. '

Soon, the Korean beef ribs came up, and a dedicated waiter helped to roast them. The aroma of butter overflowed, giving Zhang Bichen the urge to twitch his index finger. Although she knew that it would be rude to stare at the food all the time, the aroma of the marbled beef was really irresistible.

Both of them stopped talking after the meat came up, and at this embarrassing time, fortunately, human beings invented the smartphone, Zhang Pingan played with the smartphone at this time, because his little friend sent over the photo of the beautiful woman up.

‘Brother, how is the girl today? Not bad right? It is said that he is a rookie actor! '

Zhang Pingan looked at the woman in the photo sent by his little friend and felt a little familiar. He recalled it seriously. This woman is...'I know it's her, is it Jiang Hanna? '

'Um, you know? '

Zhang Pingan ignored his companions. A star is just a beautiful ordinary person before becoming famous. Although Jiang Hanna was pretty, Zhang Pingan didn't have much interest in her.

The only one who made him an instant fan is Pei Zhuxuan!

The barbecue was cooked at this time, Zhang Pingan put away his mobile phone and started eating with Zhang Bichen. While eating, Zhang Pingan started chatting: "Oh, have you learned the driver's license yet? The Korean driver's license I said, the driver's license here is added to the international IDP, which is the international driver's license. You can use this driver's license overseas in the future. Rent a car, and Huaxia's driver's license cannot be used in many overseas countries."

Zhang Ping'an finally revealed a useful piece of news. Zhang Bichen nodded and said, "I haven't learned it yet, by the way, how much does it cost to learn a driver's license in Korea?"

"There are 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. The test schedule is relatively long, maybe half a month. There are also 50,000 yuan. You can get a license in the exam for 50,000 yuan a week. It's up to you to choose. Learn the driver's license here for the future. It is convenient to use a car overseas. If you don’t have a driver’s license in Huaxia, you can apply for a driver’s license directly with the driver’s license here after studying here. Hasn’t the driving test in Huaxia become more and more strict in the past two years? That’s why many Chinese people choose Come here to learn a driver's license and travel at the same time."
