In S.M, if you ask Li Xiuman who his favorite child is, it is undoubtedly Baoer. Because Baoer has grown up all the way, Li Xiuman is with her like a father, watching her grow up step by step. When she first entered the company, Baoer was only fourteen years old at the time, and now she is already thirty-two. She has been in the company for more than ten years in a flash.

Baoer has experienced the start-up period, growth period, and maturity period of S.M. Like An Qixuan, who is still in the company at this time, she can be said to be a veteran of S.M. So it is not strange that Li Xiuman brought Baoer to have dinner together this time. It is also possible that Li Xiuman had a little desire to introduce it in his heart. The meaning of matchmaking is in it, right? Although this possibility is not great. Li Xiuman knows that feelings are the most difficult thing to explain.

After the three of them sat down, the waiter handed over the menu. Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's okay for me to choose Chinese food in the restaurant? For me, these familiar flavors are the taste of my hometown."

Li Xiuman smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. Chinese cuisine is the pinnacle of cooking for the older generation. And when we were young, rich people could eat Chinese cuisine. Only those in Europe and the United States always think that Chinese cuisine is 'fast food'. I just don't understand what Chinese cuisine is? Didn't the "Jianghu Showdown" you made last year refresh the Koreans' impression of Chinese cuisine?"

In Li Xiuman's era, Chinese food was indeed a very high-end restaurant in Korea, and it was indeed a place where only wealthy families could enjoy delicious food. Because after a table of banquet dishes in the Chinese restaurant, many ordinary families had an income of more than half a month.

Later, the Korean "Wednesday Food Collection" introduced in detail the journey of Chinese food after coming to Korea. Because of the program's needs, the program's "MC" went to eat Chinese restaurants, and they were very well-educated to learn the way of Chinese people. Finally, the host's comment was that the taste was really good but the price was too expensive.

Many people think that Chinese restaurants are a kind of "fast food" feeling? In fact, the price of high-end Chinese restaurants is definitely not worse than that of Western food. If you choose high-grade ingredients, the price will even exceed what you imagined.

In the eyes of Koreans, how did Chinese food evolve from a high-end restaurant to a fast food feeling? Because when Li Xiuman was young, Chinese restaurants represented a place that wealthy families could enjoy, so many ordinary families yearned for Chinese restaurants.

However, Chinese restaurants not only have expensive banquet standard dishes, but also cheap fried noodles!

Therefore, many ordinary families take their children to a Chinese restaurant to order a bowl of fried noodles after their parents get their salary, which can be regarded as going to a high-end restaurant. In that way, fried noodles are deeply rooted in the memory of Koreans. Moreover, the production of fried noodles is not particularly complicated. People with a little basic cooking can easily make them as long as they buy the "sauce".

Then, fried noodles, sweet and sour meat, gradually became food in Chinese restaurants run by Koreans.

As the fried noodles became popular, competition emerged, so some people made the standard of "delivery". In that way, the original high-end Chinese cuisine gradually became a fast-food-like food in the eyes of ordinary Koreans. However, in the eyes of those who truly understand "Chinese cuisine", Chinese cuisine has always been high-end cuisine.

.........

When Li Xiuman talked about his own "Jianghu Showdown"? Zhang Ping'an laughed: "I used to study in Tokyo? Chinese cuisine in Tokyo also had very high-end restaurants. Later, when I arrived in Korea, I told the Korean friends around me that we went to eat Chinese food. They all looked at me with weird eyes. Later I realized that in the eyes of Koreans, Chinese cuisine belongs to the fast food series? Fried sauce noodles, seafood noodles? Sweet and sour meat. At that time, I decided? When the opportunity is ripe, I must introduce what is the real Chinese cuisine!!"

Li Xiuman smiled and said, "I also went to study abroad when I was young. I chose the United States at that time. Why did you choose Japan?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "I didn't understand why my family sent me to Tokyo, not Los Angeles? Cities like London. In recent years, I have asked my family curiously. The answer my family gave me was surprising, and I had never thought about it. She said that I was too naughty when I was a child, and they were not at ease to send it to Europe and the United States, but if I sent it to Tokyo, they could go from Shanghai to Tokyo in two hours. If I went abroad, I was still so naughty? I ran over and smoked me in two hours! Because it took them to Tokyo to go to Yanjing. Actually, there was another thing? Tokyo is one of the safest cities in the world!"

Baoer, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing as he listened to Zhang Ping'an's words: "Puff~~hahaha~~"

Including Li Xiuman, who was sitting next to him, also smiled: "I wonder how naughty you were when you were a child? But? The public security in Tokyo is indeed much better than that in the United States, and the racial discrimination there is very serious on campus and society."

The three of them were chatting? The dishes were ordered one after another? Three meat dishes? Two seafood and one soup and wine. Baoer ordered a bottle of Latu because she was not used to Chinese sauce-flavored wine.

Zhang Ping'an opened the liquor and poured a small glass for Li Xiuman. Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "The wine table culture is obviously different from China. In Korea, the elders pour the wine for the first glass, but in China, the younger generations pour the first glass of wine for the elders, expressing respect. Today it is Chinese food, so we come according to the Chinese wine table culture. Today, let me, the youngest one, pour the first glass of wine for everyone."

Baoer was from 1986, and Zhang Ping'an was from 1987. So it is correct for Zhang Ping'an to say that he was a junior. Although anyone in today's society is capable is the boss. But aside from her family background, Baoer officially entered society when she was 15 years old and embarked on her own career, so the basic etiquette still needs to be expressed.

Li Xiuman held the wine glass and greeted Zhang Ping'an and Bao'er, and had the first glass of today. After drinking a glass of Chinese liquor, Li Xiuman stopped and said, "I can't enjoy Chinese liquor. It's too spicy, so I will have Bao'er and the red wine bar."

"Okay." Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded, poured himself another cup, and said, "Try the cold cuts here. I have eaten them several times and think they are OK. It is better to do it within the Seoul range."

The three of them started, and Li Xiuman was tasting today's first cold dish braised beef and said, "Why did you think of inviting me to have a meal today? On weekdays, you don't have such a good mood."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "I dare not disturb your work on weekdays. Everyone knows that you are very busy."

Li Xiuman smiled and asked, "What are you busy with recently? I asked Taeyeon in the afternoon, and she said you are preparing for a new program?"

Zhang Ping'an suddenly invited him to dinner, and Li Xiu thought it was a bit weird, so he asked Taeyeon about Zhang Ping'an's recent updates, and also sent his attention and blessings to her new album.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to run a new show all day today. Because the subsequent involvement of the show may make it invested. It has reached more than 10 billion won, so the TV station needs some time to digest it."

A variety show has an investment of up to 10 billion yuan, which made Li Xiuman look at Zhang Ping'an in surprise: "Variety show, 10 billion yuan? What are you planning to make?"

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "Didn't Luo Yingshi film a "Wedding Diary" recently? So I also plan to create a variety show for couples observation, but the couple is Lee Hyo-ri. Luo Yingshi likes to build a house for observation, so I want to borrow Lee Hyo-ri's family to observe. Some couples' private lives, and some real Lee Hyo-ri. Lee Soo-man, do you have any plans to invest?"

Li Xiuman listened to Zhang Ping'an's words and laughed: "You want to observe Lee Hyo-ri and his wife? You are really... Well, your ideas are more unique than Luo Yingshi. She is willing to observe them for you?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "The money is in place, everything is easy to say, so I said that the investment this time may be very high. This afternoon, tvN, there clearly rejected this cooperation."

Li Xiuman said with a wry smile: "So, are you planning to invest in me? No...you are not short of this money, right?"

"I am definitely not short of this amount of money. It is okay to ask me to invest in it personally, but there are some problems with the TV broadcasting."

Li Xiuman said in confusion: "What problems will happen when the playback? If you buy out the time... there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"I expected the shooting to be in mid-April, because there are still many things to prepare in the early stage, but recently some problems have begun to arise on the TV station. I wonder if you have received the report?"

When talking about the TV station's problems, Li Xiuman immediately nodded and said, "Oh~~ You talk about the internal problems of the public station, this... is a bit troublesome. Then you can ask other paid channels."

Zhang Ping'an said: "I have been busy with this issue recently. While the paid channel is thinking about cooperation, I feel that my asking price may exceed their imagination. After all, I only plan to shoot summer, winter, and two seasons. So the investment in this program is a bit too expensive for them."

"It's a bit expensive to go up by 10 billion. Lee Hyori's net worth can't get such a high pay, and it's only two seasons of shooting! According to the highest standards, one season is given to her at 1.2 billion, and two seasons are only 2.4 billion. Is this a big distance between 10 billion, right?"
