Chapter 968: Giving Gifts Also Has Its Own Rules
Life is always full of surprises. When Luo Yingshi was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery here, he ignored the instructions of local officials, "All seaside buildings must be demolished, and they should come as soon as possible to take pictures." ’
Who knew that after returning this time, Luo Yingshi and Zhang Pingan would take the "Journey to the West" team to Guilin for filming. In fact, there was nothing Luo Yingshi could do. After all, even if the restaurant needed for the show was simply made, it still needed to be built step by step.
So on the third day when the crew was waiting for the filming, the local demolition team came, and the kitchen that took half a month to build was ruthlessly destroyed in just three to five minutes. Although there is no seaside kitchen, the local government helped find another house for them to shoot. The filming this time also went through many twists and turns, of course, these are all things for a later time.
In this way, the team of Zhang Pingan and Luo Yingshi ended the filming in Guilin and returned to Seoul. The time has come to the end of this year. Taeyeon and Pani have already finished their family concert, and Taeyeon is busy preparing for an official album. As for the title song of her album, "Fine," Zhang Pingan has already edited it and sent it to her via email.
As for Pani, she returned to the United States again because she did not have any work arrangements at the end of the year. On the other hand, her friends in South Korea are extremely busy at the end of the year. Pani called Zhang Pingan when she left Seoul. She said on the phone that she had not spent Christmas and New Year with her family for many years, so she planned to come back after spending New Year in the United States this year.
For Pani, an American, the Christmas and New Year holidays are like the Chinese Spring Festival. Although she has separated from her father, Pani still has a sister and a brother. The family relationship between the three sisters has no impact at all. And Pani is considered a rich person now. Taking advantage of this year's Christmas vacation to play with her brother and sister is also a kind of relationship promotion.
Pani went to the United States for the holidays, and Zhang Pingping didn't care. Because he is very busy here, he personally agreed to Luo Yingshi's filming of these two programs, and he will follow the filming crew, so he also has no rest time at the end of the year. But it’s good to be busy during holidays like Christmas, at least you don’t have to face so much ‘trouble’.
As a scumbag, it would not be good for Zhang Ping'an to accompany this person and not that person during a holiday like Christmas. So he might as well get busy at the end of the year, so he would have a good excuse.
Taeyeon and Lee Ji-eun both have to release their regular albums at the beginning of the new year, so they are also very busy at the end of the year. At the end of the year, Lee Ji-eun not only has to produce an album, but she also has to take care of her concerts. Taeyeon's solo performance this year is very good, and she needs to follow the award ceremony everywhere. So everyone is very busy at the end of the year, so busy that they rarely have time to meet each other, mainly because Zhang Pingan's filming was done in a country far away from South Korea.
As for Mai Shiraishi and Yui Aragaki who are far away in Japan, they will all participate in "Red and White" this year. Needless to say, Naituan's popularity has continued to skyrocket for two years, making the team even more popular. Xinyuan Yui's "Escape" started in October, which has caused a phenomenon-level topic. Because of the popularity of "Escape", Yui has been participating in the promotion of various TV programs. Because Zhang Pingan invested in the TV series, she was quite active in participating in the promotion this time.
.......
It has become very cold in Seoul in December. The weather has become more and more strange in the past few years. Summers are hotter than before, and winters are colder than before. Christmas is coming in ten days, and Christmas decorations have been hung up on the streets of Seoul, including Christmas trees, lights, and decorative snowflake stickers...
The atmosphere of Christmas makes Seoul’s nights extremely lively, but after the sun goes down, the temperature in the entire city is close to zero. Zhang Pingan, who came out today to buy early Christmas gifts for Li Zhien and Taeyeon, couldn't help but wrap up his cotton jacket in the underground garage of the department store as soon as he got out of the car.
When Zhang Pingan locked the car, he couldn't help but muttered: "It's really cold today~" His Bentley SUV had been repaired and brought back. In this cold season, he doesn't know why he always wants to drive a bigger one. car.
As soon as the fire door entering the department store from the garage was pushed open, a wave of heat immediately hit us. Immediately after Zhang Pingan stepped into the door of the shopping mall, his whole body felt warm: "Oh, it's really a different world compared to the outside."
The weather outside was extremely dry and cold. Zhang Ping'an just got out of the car and walked less than 200 meters to the department store. He felt that the weather was very bad. Maybe it has something to do with his own clothing. Koreans today must be wearing warm cotton pants and jackets when going out.
But he didn't wear anything thick when he came out of the house, because the floor heating was on at home, so he only wore cotton pajamas at home. When I went out today, I randomly found a sweatshirt, a thick down jacket, and a pair of simple casual pants. He thought he would drive after going out... Who would have thought it was so cold when he came out of the house?
Department stores are very lively all year round. Not to mention that shopping makes people happy, and Christmas is approaching. Countless couples or relatives and friends prepare small gifts for each other. Zhang Ping'an said, in fact, this place is warm in winter and cool in summer, so you can escape the heat in summer and the cold in winter!
After arriving at the first floor, Zhang Pingan stood in front of the "sign" at the elevator entrance and was confused. The biggest headache for men is actually giving gifts, because men really don't know what to give? Women are always happy when they receive gifts from you, because they think they are good when they are given by their loved ones, but some things are not practical.
Giving clothes? Each of them has their own aesthetics. Bags? The basic models of luxury goods, in fact, they also have them. Lipstick? Different makeup matches different colors, most men don't understand. Skin care products? This should be used for different skin conditions.
Giving gifts, how to show your intentions? This is where men are confused.
"Hey..." Zhang Pingan sighed and looked at the floor sign, feeling a little helpless.
At this time, the etiquette lady who had been standing at the elevator door smiled and said, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Because Zhang Pingan was wearing a scarf and a hat to cover his face, the etiquette lady did not recognize Zhang Pingan at the first time, but she saw that this man had been standing there looking at the sign for a long time.
Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "I'm thinking about what Christmas gift to give."
"Give it to your girlfriend? Then the hot-selling series of lipsticks, popular bags, or winter scarves and hats. In addition, the Christmas models launched by various brands are also good." Seeing that Zhang Pingan did not answer, she smiled and said: "May I ask what your girlfriend's occupation is?"
Zhang Pingan said in surprise: "You ask about occupation when giving gifts?"
"Of course, if it is a workplace person, the weather has been getting colder recently, so giving a hat and scarf is very good."
Workplace people give hats and scarves? That is because the weather is very cold when workplace people go out in the morning, and hats and scarves have basically become the most commonly used items. If you don't choose luxury goods, the price is actually not expensive, which is heartwarming.
Zhang Pingan thought for a while and said, "What about the fashion-related industries?"
"For fashion-related products, give cosmetics or small accessories. The skin will be very dry in winter, so you can give some moisturizing products, which are all safe. Of course, small accessories are also very good, especially when wearing sweaters in winter, it is very beautiful to match them with a necklace."
After listening to the suggestion, Zhang Pingan asked, "Why give a necklace instead of earrings and rings?"
The etiquette lady smiled and said, "Girls' hair is down in winter, and rarely tied up. If she wants to show off your gift, she must tie her hair up. But if she ties her hair up, it will be very cold to expose her neck during commuting, so earrings and rings are not recommended in winter."
After listening to the etiquette lady's explanation, Zhang Pingan smiled and responded, "It turns out that there are so many details here. I really learned a lot. Thank you."
"You're welcome! I hope you have a happy shopping."
After listening to the etiquette lady's suggestion, Zhang Pingan went directly to the cosmetics counter on the first floor, winter suits, moisturizing suits. As recommended, this is definitely a safe gift for winter!
Taeyeon bought a set, Li Zhien bought a set, and Zhang Pingan bought all the cosmetics he had seen in their cosmetics, and they were what they were using at night.
The Christmas gift box launched this time omitted the trouble of Zhang Pingan to pack separately. In this way, he took the two boxes of cosmetics back home, and he planned to give Taeyeon's box tomorrow. Today, he came to Li Zhien's house with the cosmetics for her.
The gift box was simply placed on the table in the living room, and the greeting card attached to the product made Zhang Pingan sit at the dining table and write it carefully.
At this time, Li Zhien had not returned home yet. The simple handwritten blessing card showed that he still kept her in his heart on this happy Christmas.
After preparing everything, Zhang Pingan sent a message to Li Zhien: "Go home early, I'll wait for you at home for supper."
At this time, Li Zhien, who was practicing for the concert, looked at the message popping up on the phone on the lyrics rack. When she saw the name of the sender, Li Zhien had a gentle smile on her lips. After reading the message, she insisted on singing the song she was singing. Then she said to the band and her manager, "Let's stop here today?"
The band members were a little dumbfounded, because IU usually doesn't finish practice so early, but today...
