Chapter 968: Giving Gifts Also Has Its Own Rules
Chapter 977 Gift-giving is also a matter of taste
Life is always full of surprises. Luo Yingshi was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery here, but he ignored the instructions of local officials, "All buildings on the beach must be demolished, and they should come to shoot as soon as possible if they want to shoot."
Who knew that after returning this time, Luo Yingshi and Zhang Pingan took the "Journey to the West" team to Guilin for shooting. In fact, Luo Yingshi had no choice. After all, even if the restaurant required by the program was simply built, it needed to be built step by step.
So on the third day when the program crew went to shoot, the local demolition team came, and the kitchen that took half a month to build was ruthlessly destroyed in just three or five minutes. Although there was no kitchen on the beach, the local government helped them find another house for shooting. This shooting also went through many twists and turns, of course, these are all later stories.
In this way, Zhang Pingan and Luo Yingshi's team finished shooting in Guilin and returned to Seoul. The time has come to the end of this year. Taeyeon and Tiffany have finished their family concerts, and Taeyeon is busy preparing for her official album. Zhang Pingan has already edited the title song of her album, "Fine", and sent it to her by email.
As for Tiffany, she returned to the United States because she did not have any work arrangements at the end of the year. On the other hand, her friends in Korea were all very busy at the end of the year. Tiffany 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 this year she planned to come back after the New Year in the United States.
For Tiffany, an American, the Christmas and New Year holidays are like the Chinese Spring Festival. Although she has separated from her father, Tiffany still has a sister and a brother, and the family relationship between the three sisters is not affected at all. Tiffany is now considered a rich person, and taking advantage of this year's Christmas holiday to play with her brother and sister is also a kind of emotional promotion.
Zhang Pingan doesn't care that Tiffany goes to the United States for the holiday. Because he is very busy here, he personally promised Luo Yingshi to shoot these two programs, and he has to follow the crew, so he also has no rest time at the end of the year. But it is good to be busy during holidays like Christmas, at least you don’t have to face so many "troubles".
As a scumbag, Zhang Pingan is not very good to accompany this and not that during holidays like Christmas. So he simply keeps himself busy at the end of the year, so that he has a good excuse.
Taeyeon and Li Zhien are both going to release their regular albums at the beginning of the new year, so they are also very busy at the end of the year. Li Zhien not only has to produce an album at the end of the year, but also has to take care of her concert. And Taeyeon's solo performance this year is very good, she needs to run around with award ceremonies. So everyone is very busy at the end of the year, so busy that they have little time to meet, mainly because Zhang Pingan's shooting is in a country far away from South Korea.
And Shiraishi Mai and Aragaki Yui, who are far away in Japan, will participate in the "Red and White" this year. Needless to say, the popularity of the group has continued to soar in the past two years, making the team even more popular. Yui Shingen's "Escape" which started in October has caused a phenomenal topic of heat. Because of the popularity of "Escape", Yui has been participating in the promotion of various TV programs. Because the TV series was invested by Zhang Pingan, she was quite active in participating in the promotion this time.
Seoul has become very cold in December. The weather has become more and more strange in recent years. The summer is hotter than before, and the winter is colder than before. There are still ten days before Christmas. The Christmas decorations on the streets of Seoul have been hung up, including Christmas trees, colorful lights, and decorative snowflake stickers..
The atmosphere of Christmas makes the night in Seoul particularly lively, but the temperature of the whole city is close to zero after the sun sets. Today, in order to buy Christmas gifts for Li Zhien and Taeyeon in advance, Zhang Pingan couldn't help wrapping his cotton coat in the underground garage of the department store when he got out of the car.
Zhang Pingan couldn't help muttering when locking the car: "It's really cold today~" His Bentley SUV had been repaired and taken back a long time ago. In this cold season, I don't know why I always want to drive a bigger car.
As soon as the fire door leading from the garage to the department store was opened, a wave of heat immediately rushed towards him. Then Zhang Pingan felt warm as he stepped into the door of the mall: "Oh, it's really another world compared to outside."
The weather outside was particularly dry and cold. Zhang Pingan only walked less than 200 meters from the car to the department store, but he felt that the weather was very bad. It might have something to do with his own clothes. Koreans must wear warm cotton pants and cotton clothes when they go out on this day.
But he didn't wear such thick clothes when he left home, because the floor heating was turned on at home, so he only wore a pair of cotton pajamas at home. Today, he just found a sweater and put on a thick down jacket outside, and the pants were just a simple pair of casual pants. He thought he would drive after going out, but who knew that he would find out that the weather was so cold when he came out of the house.
Department stores are particularly lively all year round. Not to mention that shopping makes people happy, not to mention that it is approaching Christmas, countless couples or relatives and friends have to prepare some small gifts for each other. If Zhang Ping'an were to say, there is actually one thing: this place is warm in winter and cool in summer, a good place to 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 entangled. 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 entangled.
"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 appearance at this time, the etiquette lady did not recognize Zhang Pingan at the first time, but she saw this man standing there and 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 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 when her neck is exposed 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 the ones he had seen in their cosmetics, and they were the ones they were using at night.
The Christmas gift box launched this time saved Zhang Pingan the trouble of packing 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 Li Zhien usually doesn't finish practice so early, but today she did.
