The Korean cuisine, regardless of whether it tastes good or not, indeed looks very exquisite. Moreover, because there are many side dishes, it always seems like a large table is filled with food, and there is always something that suits one's taste.
At the dining table, the conversation that had just ended resumed. However, the current conversation had shifted from Liu Zaitian's plans for the future to himself.
"Zaitian, you are already 19 years old, and you will be considered an adult next year. Have you found a girlfriend yet?" This question was asked by Min Zhaohui, Choi Soo-young's mother.
In response, Liu Zaitian expressed his thoughts, "No, during my years in the United States, most of my time was focused on various financial operations, so I didn't pay much attention to this matter. Moreover, my father doesn't seem to be very interested in foreign girls; he hopes I can marry a Korean woman."
As soon as Liu Zaitian finished speaking, Min Zhaohui followed up, "What about your thoughts?"
"Well... I actually prefer Asian girls more, and I don't really care about the country. Moreover, I can fluently speak five languages: Chinese, Japanese, French, English, and Korean, so there shouldn't be any communication issues." After a brief moment of thought, Liu Zaitian answered seriously.
"Then, Zaitian, what do you look for in a girl?" Min Zhaohui asked again.
At this point, Liu Zaitian felt a bit strange. Wasn't he here just to visit his senior? Why did the conversation suddenly turn to his views on choosing a partner?
However, despite feeling strange, Liu Zaitian still answered, "Well, beautiful, optimistic, and generous. Actually, it's not much different from what most men want."
"Oh..." She nodded, "Zaitian, don't just stand there, hurry up and eat, eat..."
...
"Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Choi. I'll be leaving now." At the villa's entrance, after expressing his gratitude to the Choi family who had come to see him off, Liu Zaitian and Choi Soo-young slowly walked to where he had parked his car.
As for why Choi Soo-young was accompanying him, it was entirely because her mother had strongly insisted.
"Sorry, it's already so late, and you still came to see me off, Soo-young." Looking at Choi Soo-young, who was half a head shorter than him, Liu Zaitian suddenly had a clearer understanding of the attitudes of Choi's father and mother.
"It's fine. Zaitian oppa, are you really going to become a comedian?" Looking at the tall and handsome man beside her, and considering his current achievements, Choi Soo-young found it hard to associate him with the comedians who make people laugh on TV.
"What, do you think it doesn't match my image?" Over the past few days, Liu Zaitian had heard this many times, so he wasn't surprised.
In response to Liu Zaitian's question, Choi Soo-young nodded honestly.
"Ha ha, actually, when I first expressed my thoughts, no one supported me, especially my brother, who was strongly against it. Do you know who my brother is?"
Choi Soo-young shook her head.
"My name is Liu Zaitian, and his name is Liu Zai-shi!"
"Liu Zai-shi?... Uncle Grasshopper!... How is that possible?" The first reaction was a scream, and the second was a question, as Choi Soo-young found it hard to associate the face in front of her with Liu Zai-shi's appearance.
"Could it be..." Thinking about it, Choi Soo-young's gaze towards Liu Zaitian became a bit strange, and her eyes scanned his face as if looking for something.
Bang!
"Ouch!"
"What are you thinking!" Without much thought, Liu Zaitian knew what Choi Soo-young's gaze meant, "This face is natural, not the result of plastic surgery. I lived with my brother when we were young, but I was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Liu. Later, when I was 9 years old, my biological father found me and took me to live in the United States."
"I didn't say anything." Holding her head, Choi Soo-young pouted and muttered.
Ignoring Choi Soo-young's muttering, Liu Zaitian continued, "At that time, my brother was the most opposed to me becoming a comedian, because in today's Korean entertainment industry, the status of comedians is the lowest."
"Then why do you insist on it, Zaitian oppa? In my opinion, just based on your looks, you could easily get a spot in some groups." It was a bit strange, as Choi Soo-young pointed out, Liu Zaitian's appearance, even among the many handsome men in the Korean entertainment industry (whether natural or surgically enhanced), was definitely one of the best, especially his more masculine features, which stood out among the many effeminate male artists in Korea.
"Because of these eyes." Pointing to his eyes, a strong sense of confidence instantly radiated from Liu Zaitian, "They not only focus on the present but also see the future."
"Will the influence of variety shows be very significant in the future?" Completely infected by Liu Zaitian's confidence, compared to the pretty boys she had seen before, Choi Soo-young felt that Liu Zaitian was ten or even a hundred times more handsome. Indeed, a serious man is the most handsome!
"What do you think of X-Man now?" Without responding, Liu Zaitian asked another question.
"It's very popular, with high ratings and a lot of buzz, completely dominating the current variety show scene." This was Choi Soo-young's answer, and it was probably the opinion of most people at the time.
"However, in my view, although this show is currently the dominant force, it actually represents the end of an era." This was the first time Liu Zaitian had shared his thoughts with someone, "X-Man, as a top-tier indoor variety show, will inevitably be tiresome to increasingly picky viewers over time. When that happens, it will mark the beginning of the decline of indoor variety shows. To continue attracting viewers, the next variety show plans will shift from indoor to outdoor."
"What I am going to do is create a truly outdoor variety show. With my mind and countless creative ideas, I will turn it into a true national variety show. At that time, the MCs participating in this variety show will have an influence and appeal comparable to top-tier stars."
"And as the planner and participant of the variety show, I will gain even more."
Looking at the spirited man beside her, although Choi Soo-young didn't fully understand what an outdoor variety show was, his strong confidence still infected her, "Then, when Zaitian oppa's variety show starts, please let me know. I will definitely be a loyal viewer."
"Sure, if it starts, I'll let you know. I've arrived, so I'll take you back now and then leave."
