Chapter 494 The Holiday that Scumbags Fear the Most: Valentine's Day
PS: (Well, I owed a chapter to "Persistence" before, and now I owe another chapter to "Rabbit", a total of two chapters, I remember. I apologize here, please allow me to owe it for now, I really don't have any manuscripts saved. I will make up for it during my break next month!)
After dinner, Xika went back to her company, and Zhang Pingan also breathed a sigh of relief. There is no way, the scumbag is most afraid of festivals, especially such a "Valentine's Day", which is even more fatal. The money for buying gifts is a small matter, the main thing is that there is no time to spare. However, Zhang Pingan is better than ordinary scumbags, because they all know that Zhang Pingan is more "scumbag", but they just don't show it.
If it were an ordinary person, or a senior white-collar scumbag, he would probably explode, right? No, if that were the case, he would probably say before falling in love, "My mother's birthday is Valentine's Day? I have to go home to celebrate my mother's birthday, so we won't have dinner together." What if I have to celebrate the birthday together? Will he still explode? This is a question worth studying.
Anyway, Zhang Pingan, the scumbag, will feel a little better. Because Taeyeon knows, Lee Ji-eun knows, and those in Japan and China also know that Zhang Pingan has been busy preparing for the show. And everyone is in the entertainment industry, so they are more aware of the dynamics of the entertainment industry. As long as it is not a statutory holiday, as for this Valentine's Day? Don't expect to have a holiday!
Besides, no country will make "Valentine's Day" a statutory holiday, right? So if couples want to date, okay, finish the work first! If you haven't finished the work, you still have to work overtime.
But Valentine's Day is a strange thing in Japan, because this day is mostly a holiday for men to receive chocolates, there are natal chocolates (given to lovers, people you like, for confession) and giri chocolates (given to friends, to express friendship). And March 14th, Japan's White Day, is when men return gifts.
And "Valentine's Day" seems to be a promotional activity done by chocolate manufacturers at the beginning? It evolved into Valentine's Day, of course, this is just one of the theories!
Zhang Pingan breathed a sigh of relief after getting in the car. He really breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the two jewelry bags lying quietly in the glove box of the vehicle. If Xica didn't drive out and sat in the passenger seat, the scene... might make both of them fall into an awkward state, right? Even if Xica didn't get angry, even if she knew it in her heart... but, this is different from seeing it with your own eyes, right?
After starting the car, the scumbag Zhang Pingan took out his phone and called Taeyeon first: "Where is it? Dormitory? Come downstairs, I'll be there in five minutes."
Taeyeon came out of her room after receiving Zhang Pingan's call, because Zhang Pingan said he would be there in five minutes when he hung up the phone. Coming to the living room and looking at the empty living room, only herself, Taeyeon sat in the living room at ease. At the same time, she had a gift box in her hand. This was prepared by Taeyeon for Zhang Pingan. It was not a particularly high-end gift, but a tie she personally selected for him in a men's clothing store.
Of course, this gift is not particularly expensive for Taeyeon's income group.
The important thing is that it is thoughtful, but it is still a luxury Hermes.
After about five minutes, Taeyeon wrapped herself in a long down jacket and went downstairs. Just as she walked downstairs, Zhang Pingan's car came over. She opened the car door and looked at the shopping bag of Van Cleef & Arpels on the passenger seat. Taeyeon smiled and reached out to pick up the shopping bag and put it on the armrest before sitting in.
After getting in the car, Taeyeon handed the gift in her hand to Zhang Pingan: "A gift I picked for you."
Zhang Pingan took the gift box and said with a smile: "Thank you, can I open it?"
"Of course." After Taeyeon nodded, Zhang Pingan opened the gift box first, took out the tie and compared it with his collar: "I like it very much. I will wear it when I wear formal clothes. This is a gift from me to you." Zhang Pingan handed the gift bag on the armrest to Taeyeon.
Taeyeon also opened the necklace box in front of Zhang Pingan. Van Cleef & Arpels has three commonly used series of this jeweler, four-leaf clover, flower, and butterfly. Zhang Pingan chose a necklace with a dancing butterfly pendant for Taeyeon. He smiled and said, "Because your signature is a butterfly, I chose this necklace."
Taeyeon didn't show an excited expression like Jessica after seeing the gift, but sighed and said, "Next time, don't buy such jewelry necklaces with diamonds, because it's not easy to wear on weekdays. In fact, ordinary ones are more suitable for my daily wear."
There are many people who hate the rich in South Korea, especially those who target celebrities! If a celebrity is photographed wearing a 100 million won watch (more than 500,000 yuan) at an event, he will definitely be scolded. Such things have happened.
If this is incredible in China? Because in China, any second-tier female artist carries an Hermès platinum bag. Because of the different size and material, the value of this bag is no less than that of a 100 million won watch.
And let alone the celebrity's watch, who doesn't wear millions of dollars on their hands? In China, a celebrity's wrist is a '500,000' watch? They are too lazy to wear it, okay?
As for the jewelry, it's even more exaggerated, because the jewelry that celebrities wear at events is sponsored. Sponsored jewelry is "disposable" and you have to return it after wearing it, but Zhang Ping'an's gift is not disposable. Does Taeyeon have to wear it only once?
This is the first time she was photographed wearing such a high-value jewelry. She can use "sponsorship" as a cover. What about the future? Will she wear it again?
A decorative necklace is worth nearly 20 million won? How can she take it out? Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if she took it out? That's why Taeyeon said that the ordinary style is more suitable, because the ordinary style is not inlaid with diamonds, and it costs a few thousand Chinese yuan (only a few hundred thousand or close to a million).
Every girl has a few styles of jewelry of this price, and it is very normal for female stars to have more. Besides, women are born to like those shiny jewelry, and they have the ability to consume at that level.
But luxury jewelry like this... This thing worth 100,000 Chinese yuan can only be a luxury jewelry. Don't think that it is a collectible if it is inlaid with diamonds. If you take such luxury jewelry out to pawn, at least half of the price will be cut! Because these things are inlaid with broken diamonds, and broken diamonds, everyone knows that they are not valuable! The only remaining value, to be frank, is the brand value, but it is still not valuable! !
Collectible jewelry, 100,000 Chinese Yuan? Don't be ridiculous, you can't add two more 'zeros'! It's almost the same if the unit is changed to 'US dollars'! !
So jewelry worth 100,000 Chinese Yuan is really not practical for Taeyeon, it's not even as good as a 2,000 yuan jewelry necklace! She can carry a 2,000 yuan necklace with her at any time, this...
But why did Jessica smile happily when she received it? Because in addition to being an artist of Girls' Generation, she is also the boss of a brand, and as the boss of a fashion brand, it is normal for her to wear jewelry worth about 100,000 yuan. After all, her brand has been valued by Korean media. With Girls' Generation joining Jessica's brand, the brand is at least more than 20 billion won, which is the brand value of Girls' Generation!
.......
Zhang Ping'an thought Taeyeon would smile like Jessica, but who knew that after receiving this gift, she didn't smile happily, but a sad face. However, Zhang Ping'an turned sideways and used his thumb and index finger to open the corners of Taeyeon's mouth, forcing her to make a 'smiley face'.
Taeyeon finally laughed after being teased by Zhang Pingan. She turned around and looked at Zhang Pingan with a smile: "What are you doing?"
"Just laugh. What you said is not a problem for me at all, okay? If the media asks, just say it's my New Year's gift to you. Why don't you accept it? If you don't accept it, come to me. If someone really comes to criticize me, then my answer is very simple. I have money and I like to give such things. Who cares? I spent your money? I earned the money with my own ability. What? You don't allow me to spend it?"
Taeyeon listened to Zhang Pingan's words to protect her, she smiled sweetly, and then said to him: "You are a rogue!"
When the news of Taeyeon's love affair came out, it was because no one came to protect her, so there was really a lot of scolding on the Internet. Fortunately, Zhang Pingan gave her a lot of comfort, which is why Taeyeon is willing to stand behind him.
"For you, even if I'm considered a scoundrel by the world, what's the problem? As long as I'm not a scoundrel in your eyes, that's enough."
"I don't think it makes any difference. Anyway... ah, hahaha~~ you~~" Before Taeyeon finished her words, Zhang Pingan took action and hit her waist directly. It was very itchy to be touched on the waist suddenly. Taeyeon was tickled by Zhang Pingan deliberately, and she twisted and laughed in the car.
After finally stopping, Taeyeon had already slumped in her seat as if the two had just 'done something'.
Taeyeon finally calmed down and put away her smile. She turned to look at Zhang Pingan and said, "Are you going to the TV station later?"
"Of course, I'm going to record "See Your Voice" in cooperation with M-net tomorrow." Zhang Pingan has been a scumbag for so long that even lying has become a state of practice, becoming fresh and refined? And he is not panicked at all.
However, the TV shows he produced recently did give him a lot of help later, because as people in the circle understand, as a producer, he is running three programs at the same time, so he must be very busy, so Zhang Pingan can operate in the narrow gap of this festival, and it is very smooth.
Taeyeon stared at Zhang Pingan and said, "What about the Spring Festival special program on MBC?"
"The day after tomorrow!"
In fact, the scene of that program has been built, and the people from the platform network department have come to contact MBC, so Zhang Pingan can basically ignore it. Because the recording of that program is not interesting at all, it is better to watch the live broadcast at home.
Recently, the people of South Korea don’t know that they can enter the live broadcast platform of China, but they will know that they can enter when the recording is the day after tomorrow. When the Korean anchors go online in the evening, Zhang Pingan can arrange a wave of collision between the local tyrants of China and South Korea?
