My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 1001 Taeyeon’s Family Banquet

Chatting among car fans has become much easier. Taeyeon's father is an old car fan. In fact, many men have a car dream. Who didn’t want to own a stylish car when they were young? It's just that the economy at the time couldn't support them to play with cars, so the sales of car magazines in those years were quite high. Whether it is the modified ‘JDM’ or the European supercar, it has great appeal to the original people.

Most of Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon's father talked about "current models" and they were all Japanese cars. What red-headed Honda, what S2000, Impreza STI, Mitsubishi EVO. Maybe Japanese vehicles were closer to Taeyeon's father back then, right? After all, imported sports cars were too expensive at that time, and these Japanese cars were relatively much cheaper.

Zhang Ping'an studied in Japan and has played many Japanese "JDM" games. Of course, he is not crazy enough to play "Capital High" in underground racing. You can go to racetracks and mountain roads as long as safety is guaranteed, but if you go illegally and drive at high speeds late at night, you are just taking your life as a joke.

Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon's father talked a lot about the car that Kim Ji-yong appeared in the Japanese racing comics. Jin Zhiyong turned to Zhang Ping'an and said, "You know "Initial D", right? Didn't Takumi's father change his engine later? Is that engine very powerful?"

Zhang Pingan laughed: "It's not great. There are Subaru and Mitsubishi in the same level, which are much more powerful than it. In the end, wasn't Takumi taught a lesson by his father driving a Subaru? With 260 horsepower, it can only run Shan, if you go to a regular track, the engine is too weak.”

Taeyeon's brother said: "Is the best car to drive a Ferrari?"

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "If we just talk about sports cars, then Ferrari is indeed the best to drive. But as for cars, at this point in time, I personally think it is Audi RS. Its four-wheel drive system is too good. Okay. Let's wait and see when the four-wheel drive system will be added to the BMW 'M' series. It is already confirmed that Mercedes-Benz will add the four-wheel drive system to the 'E63S' in the second half of the year. There’s competition, and it’s no longer the ‘RS’ that takes the lead.”

While Zhang Ping'an and other three men were chatting around the car, the sound of the password button on the door of the room sounded again. Everyone looked towards the door. After a while, Taeyeon came to the living room happily. The first thing that came into view was Zhang Pingan sitting alone on the sofa, while her family sat on the couch.

The scene was similar to what she had imagined, so Taeyeon immediately smiled after entering the room. She was the first to greet her father: "Abba." Then Taeyeon's eyes drifted to Zhang Pingan, but she did not speak. She greeted Zhang Pingan, but she gestured towards Zhang Pingan with her eyes, especially her uncontrollable smile, which was an expression of 'gloating at one's misfortune'.

Taeyeon did not say hello to her brother or sister. She turned directly and walked towards her mother who was busy in the kitchen. She hugged her mother and acted coquettishly around her mother as she did when she was a child. Zhang Pingan understands very well. After all, Taeyeon's job is in Seoul, and she doesn't have time to go back often, so it is normal to miss her family.

Taeyeon hugged her mother and shouted coquettishly: "o-ma~~"

Taeyeon's mother had a kind smile on her face: "Hey, are you still young? Go change clothes and get ready for dinner."

Taeyeon then let go of her mother: "Well, I'm going to change clothes first."

When she turned her eyes back to the living room, she saw that Zhang Pingan's eyes were always on her. Taeyeon wrinkled her nose at him, and then walked towards the bedroom.

Taeyeon is back and the atmosphere in the room has become much better. Zhang Ping'an said to Taeyeon's father: "By the way, uncle, are you free in April? If you are free, let's go to the Shanghai Auto Show together. Shanghai is also a very powerful auto show in Asia. Just in time, I'm at China has a newly launched 'Ford GT', which is the car that Ford won at Le Mans. Can we go to the racing track to play around?"

Taeyeon's father declined and said: "Forget it, forget it, I am too old to bother with these things. If I were more than ten years younger, I could still go to the car show and try it out. Try racing. There’s really no need for that now.”

Taeyeon changed her clothes and came out, just in time to listen to what her father was talking about. She asked curiously: "What else can I say?"

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "I originally wanted to invite my uncle to the Shanghai Auto Show."

Taeyeon said: "Car show? To be honest, I have never been to a car show."

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "September, Frankfurt, the world's largest auto show, are you going?"

Taeyeon shook her head and said, "I don't have time. There may be many concerts this year."

As Taeyeon finished her words, her mother said: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat, Xia Yan, Taeyeon, come over and help set the dishes."

Taeyeon's family banquet is a traditional Korean dish, and Jeonju is the best in traditional Korean food. I have to say that Taeyeon's mother is very talented in color matching. At least Zhang Ping'an looks quite appetizing.

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "Wow, Taeyeon, you ate these delicacies every day when you were a child? Isn't this so happy?" Zhang Pingan praised Taeyeon's mother's craftsmanship in a different way. Such a simple sentence made Taeyeon happy. Yan's mother was happy.

Taeyeon said very honestly: "No way, this is done according to the holiday tradition, it only happens once a year."

"Yeah~!" Taeyeon's mother shouted immediately.

Taeyeon's father then gestured to Zhang Pingan with a soju bottle: "Drink some?"

Zhang Pingan glanced at Taeyeon, then picked up the wine glass and poured it from her father. The Korean tradition is that the first cup requires the elder to pour the wine for the younger generation before they can drink it, and they must turn sideways to show respect.

Zhang Ping'an followed the traditional Korean etiquette and drank the first glass of soju while leaning slightly sideways. Taeyeon said to her father at this time: "Abba, don't fight with him. He usually drinks Chinese spirits, which are 40 or 50 degrees. Drinking this is like drinking water. ”

Zhang Pingan immediately said: "How can it be like drinking water? This wine has a lot of stamina."

Taeyeon's father smiled and said, "How many bottles of Korean soju have you drunk?"

Zhang Ping'an responded: "I only start to get tipsy after three bottles. Usually when I get tipsy, I won't drink anymore."

Taeyeon nodded and helped Zhang Ping'an and said, "He drinks very restrainedly."

Taeyeon's mother then said, "Well, this is good, this is good."

Many Koreans love to drink, which is similar to Japan. Not to mention South Korea and Japan, the same is true for China, because the older generation’s life pressure is very high, and drinking was the only low-consumption pastime for them in that era?

Isn't there a classic line in "My Uncle"? Today's schools still ask parents what their specialties are. How could people of their generation have any specialties? You can't even eat enough, so you're so good at it? The only specialty I can draw is that I'm good at drinking, but I don't know if this can be considered a specialty!

This line also expresses the bitterness of people of that era.

Let’s not talk about the age of our parents. Let’s talk about Zhang Pingan and his children, who were born in the mid-1980s. What are their specialties? There was football and basketball in the physical education classes during this period. If a father in his thirties could still continue to exercise, football was the only one.

Because not everyone's family conditions were good in the 1980s, sometimes a family's child would appear in the yard and buy a football, and everyone would chase the ball like crazy dogs, just to kick the ball a few more times.

It's not like today's children of the 90s and 00s, who have all kinds of weird training classes. Training courses for the 80s, Mathematical Olympiad, are you going to learn it?

Taeyeon's mother said: "By the way, I heard Taeyeon say some time ago that you made some investments with her?"

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Yes. I invested some casually when I saw the opportunity. Well, because my family is in an investment company, and I also graduated in finance, I still have some personal opinions on investment."

Taeyeon's mother said politely: "Anyway, thank you very much. I heard from Taeyeon that she made a lot of money."

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "This kind of opportunity is very rare, and it is unlikely that such an opportunity will appear again in the future."

Taeyeon's mother put the vegetables in Zhang Ping'an's bowl and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I used to prefer watching some entertainment programs, but later I found that I also had a lot of ideas, so I entered the entertainment industry and started working behind the scenes. In the future, I will definitely continue to do what I like."

Listening to Zhang Ping'an's words, Taeyeon's family felt that he would continue to work in the same way in the future. But Taeyeon knows very well that Zhang Pingan will not stay in the entertainment industry for long. He has mentioned this issue more than once. In the future, what he wants is to live a free life and see the world.

"It's good. I hope you will take more care of Taeyeon in the future."

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I hope she will take more care of me. Now Taeyeon is a very difficult guest to invite. When I make programs in the future, I hope she can participate more and increase the ratings of my programs."

Taeyeon immediately quit. She looked over Zhang Ping'an and said, "Come on, why is it so difficult to invite me? Have you ever sent me an invitation?"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I'll send it, will you pick it up? "I Live Alone"."

Taeyeon rolled her eyes after hearing this show, knowing that she would not be able to attend this show.
