My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 1013: Make a date for dinner when you’re free?

After Zhang Pingan said goodbye, Hong Beibei's manager followed him out of the waiting room. After the door of the waiting room was closed, the manager whispered: "PD Zhang, can we have dinner with you another day? Hong Beibei has received too many favors from you for her debut.”

When the kids first debuted, their managers were wary of any emotional entanglements between Zhang Pingan and Bae Zhuhyun. But he has been wary for two or three years. Zhang Pingan really takes care of Hong Beibei, but he has not seen any contact between Zhang Pingan and Pei Zhuxuan, so now the agent is much more relieved about Zhang Pingan.

Now looking at Zhang Pingan's "love" news, whether it is spread online or not, the women around him are no worse than Bae Zhuhyun.

In addition, since Zhang Pingan's family background was exposed by the media, the agent also wanted to have a relationship with Zhang Pingan. The most important thing about such a rich man, and a powerful rich man in the circle, is that the two of them had an intersection, although this intersection started with Hong Beibei. But you can always talk to him in front of him. Some people who want to get in touch with Zhang Pingan don't have that way. So he wanted to have more contact with Zhang Pingan.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a meal together after they finish their recent publicity period."

After hearing Zhang Pingan's promise, the manager instantly showed a bright smile: "Okay, okay. That...is what you just said about Pei Zhuhyun..."

When Zhang Pingan heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Are you going to discuss these matters with your company? Why are you looking for me? Xuexuan, because I am the beneficiary."

"Okay." The agent smiled bitterly and nodded. In fact, he knew very well that his company had always had a superior feeling and did not use any 'crooked' things.

Navy troops, S.M really rarely use them, otherwise the new generation boy group they launched ‘NCT’...well, speaking of the director system made by Lee Soo Man, they have not won one so far. This is the first time S.M has failed like this in a men's group. It has been a year since they debuted in 2016. The stage effect is perfect, but the market effect is really mediocre. Not to mention the navy, there are very few reports about them.

After coming off the TV station, Zhang Pingan was ready to drive home. Originally, he wanted to go to the variety show bureau, but after arriving at the TV station, he smelled that the atmosphere here was not so right. Zhang Pingan decisively gave up the idea of ​​going upstairs. The next TV station was also troubled. These are inevitable after the change of dynasties. You must know that public opinion is in the hands of "enemy" and you will definitely be uneasy.

There are some things that you absolutely cannot be lenient about, especially some special positions that must be replaced.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Pingan thought for a while and took out the phone: "Teacher Li Xiuman, long time no see. Do you have time tomorrow night? Let's have a meal together?"

After answering Zhang Pingan's call, Li Xiuman still maintained his smiling face and responded to Zhang Pingan with a slight smile on the phone: "Oh? Pingan xi, long time no see, tomorrow? I'll check here for tomorrow. Itinerary. Tomorrow night, okay. Do you have anything to discuss with me? I don’t see you contacting me on weekdays.”

Zhang Ping'an responded: "Just having a casual meal and talking about market issues. By the way, I just met with Hong Beibei from your company."

Li Xiuman said on the phone: "Yeah, you said you would produce a variety show for our Hong Beibei, but I received the news very early."

"Isn't this a very special situation last year? I told them just now that the filming will begin in May or June."

Li Xiuman immediately showed his special smile and said: "Hey hey hey, okay, let's meet tomorrow night and talk. I still have some things to deal with here."

The reason why Zhang Pingan went to see Lee Soo Man for dinner was first of all because Girls' Generation's 10th anniversary deadline came this year, and Sika was the first member of the team to publicly state that she would not renew her contract. It was precisely because of her statement in advance that Seohyun and Xiuying gradually began to contact other outside agencies. Sika's words started the countdown for Girls' Generation.

Zhang Ping'an's main purpose was to see Li Xiuman's attitude. After all, Sika was still the woman who stayed with him, even though she had recently put all her thoughts on her personal side business.

Although it is said that Sika's proposal not to renew the contract is a normal step after the contract is over, the Girls' Generation brand is still very important to S.M. Moreover, there is still a brand cooperation between Sika and the company.

After making an appointment with Li Xiuman to eat, Zhang Pingan started the car and went home.

At night, at Li Zhien's house, Zhang Pingan spent an entire afternoon stewing "Dongpo Pork" in a pressure cooker. Because it was the first time he used a pressure cooker to press three-strand pork, Zhang Pingan was a bit of a failure after making it.

He called Li Lianfu to ask about the time required for pressure cooking in the pressure cooker. As a result, Zhang Pingan pressure-cooked the meat according to the time he said and the fat part was a little overcooked. Because the chef usually cooks Dongpo pork, the amount of pressure-cooked meat is the amount used by the restaurant, but Zhang Pingan only pressure-cooked more than a pound of meat. The amount stored in the pot is different, and the time used will definitely be different.

Zhang Ping'an ate a piece. It tasted okay, typical of Jiangsu and Zhejiang's sweet and salty taste, but the fat part was a bit too much and melted in the mouth. This made the meat less chewy when put into the mouth. Fortunately, the lean part was still good. Saved some bite. Overall, it still scores 70 points. Although it is not as perfect as in the restaurant, the food made by myself is still very satisfying.

One portion of Dongpo pork, one portion of yam and black-bone chicken soup, and one portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Only Zhang Pingan and Li Zhien can enjoy the dinner. These things are completely enough. Any more will be wasted.

Zhang Pingan was serving rice and arranging dishes in the kitchen. Li Zhien changed clothes after getting off work and sat on the dining table with her hands on her chin and looked at Zhang Pingan who was busy in the kitchen. The sweet smile hanging on the corner of her mouth was filled with happiness.

Li Zhien smiled and said: "Hehe, oppa, can I help you serve the soup?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled: "No, I told you that if you don't get your hands wet today, then I won't do anything for you. Just sit and wait for your meal."

After arriving home, Li Zhien was pushed into the room by Zhang Pingan to change clothes and prepare to eat.

However, all this is the greatest happiness for Li Zhien. After get off work, he is waiting for him to have dinner at home. No delicacies are needed, as long as he is by his company at the dinner table, it will be the most tender dinner.

There is no big soup soup like Chinese family style in Korea, so black-bone chicken soup is served in a soup bowl. Zhang Ping'an first put the soup and rice on the tray and brought them over. When he came to the dining table, he put the soup and rice on the table and said, "I went to the market today to buy black-bone chicken to give you a supplement. What's next? , your schedule is a bit heavy."

Li Zhien was stunned for two seconds because she did not have a singing schedule for this year's album. She just had a live performance on "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook". In other words, the schedule was not stressful.

So when Li Zhien listened to Zhang Pingan's words, she said dumbfounded: "Itinerary? Sure enough~~ You and Hunter were secretly discussing something this morning. I just came downstairs and saw you sneaking out of my car. Ran out."

Zhang Ping'an glared at Li Zhien: "What do you mean by being sneaky? Do you know how to use words?" As he said that, he went to the kitchen and brought out the fried tomato scrambled eggs and the packed Dongpo pork.

Li Zhien said very speechlessly: "Forget it, can you tell me about the arrangements for that show?"

While the two were eating, Zhang Pingan explained the concept of "Lee Hyori's B\u0026B" to Li Zhien.

After Li Zhien listened to Zhang Ping'an's story, she smiled: "You are asking me to help you?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said: "Well, actually, you don't need to do any heavy work or anything. Because the heavy work must be Li Xiaoli's husband's business, you only need to be responsible for the odd jobs."

Lee Ji-eun responded: "Are you doing odd jobs? That's okay. I thought you asked Lee Hyori-senpai and me to shoot some kind of female version of "Three Meals a Day." It would definitely not work if you asked us to do everything. "

Li Zhien's life skills are a bit poor. It is basically impossible for her to complete "Three Meals at a Time". As for doing odd jobs, that's fine. I can do some cleaning, or help with some small things.

Zhang Ping'an smiled: "How can I let you go through hardship? In fact, there are not as many things as you think, and the B\u0026B does not include lunch and dinner. I am just a little busy in the morning, and the free time in the afternoon is leisure time. For For guests, they all want to go out and have fun. This time, you can also think of it as a relaxing trip to learn from senior Lee Hyori, and at the same time, you can also use it to see if a dull life after marriage is what you want. model? If you think Lee Hyori-senpai’s life is good, we will also move to Jeju Island in the future.”

Listening to Zhang Ping'an's words, he laughed: "Us? Do you want to live that kind of idle life? This Dongpo meat is good, just right sweet and salty, I'll make a meal."

As he said this, Li Zhien started scooping out the Dongpo pork sauce with a spoon to mix with the rice. Zhang Ping'an smiled and got up and went to the kitchen to get some kimchi: "There is a lot of fat in the meat, which can relieve the greasiness."

What he chose was mixed rice with tomatoes and scrambled eggs. The two simply had dinner and continued chatting about the show.

Zhang Ping'an took two sips of soup and said: "Actually, I can live in any way. The city is also okay, and the quiet areas are also okay. What about you, which model do you prefer?"

"It's fine for me too. If I live in the city, it's fine as long as I'm not in a place like Seoul where it's difficult for me to go out."
