Chapter 27

Thank you for the evaluation from "Yunlong Rutian"!!!

In the following days, Shida's negotiation team found that the South Korean government's attitude had suddenly done a 180-degree turn. After there was no significant dispute over the funding, they even hinted that they could accept a lower amount of $5 billion, though they were still pushing hard on other details.

This bizarre situation immediately raised high concerns from Shida's side, and Patna could not help but report this to Bruce, who had come from New York. The core five members even studied the possible reasons for this change and the focus of the upcoming negotiations.

Undoubtedly, Ji Feng, who was currently staying in a hotel and spending his days touring South Korea, had become the biggest variable. Before Ji Feng arrived, the South Korean government's stance was extremely tough, clearly a delaying tactic. However, just a few days after Ji Feng's arrival, the South Korean government softened, which could only mean that Ji Feng had already met with high-ranking officials like Park Geun-hye.

What was even more bizarre was that the ministers who had strongly opposed fulfilling the agreement had now become like turtles with their heads pulled in, and two of them had even made a complete turnaround, publicly supporting the government's fulfillment of the agreement and boasting about being a responsible and policy-consistent government, treating shamelessness as a virtue.

The sudden change in South Korea's political stance shocked many politicians around the world and caused significant losses for many European and American betting companies. Many people believed that the South Korean government would ultimately choose to solve the problem by force, but unexpectedly, just two or three months later, the South Korean government softened, leaving many people deeply disappointed.

However, the politicians of various countries were more concerned about the story behind the change in South Korea's attitude. But Ji Feng was too lazy to care about it anymore. Sometimes, when you show a certain level of strength, many things that were previously difficult to achieve can be easily resolved.

Ji Feng was living a very carefree life. During the day, he toured various places in South Korea, and in the evening, he chatted with his classmates and friends, texted Xu Xian, and practiced in the space late at night. Of course, he couldn't do without a few pounds of cooked ribs every day, as he didn't want to make the beautiful divine dragon space bloody.

Knowing that Ji Feng had really come to Seoul and planned to stay for a while, Xu Xian's little thoughts started to stir. Could he really be trying to pursue her? But he didn't seem to know Korean, so how did he get around? After all, Seoul was different from Jeju Island; most people here spoke Korean, and although some spoke English, many actually didn't.

Ji Feng, of course, wasn't that foolish. He directly asked the hotel to recommend a translator, who accompanied him to various places in South Korea. They even went to the 38th parallel line together, where Ji Feng saw the tunnels that the North Koreans had dug through solid rock from dozens of meters underground, which left him in awe.

Although staying in the same hotel, Ji Feng refused any disturbance from Shida's team, making it clear that he was just there to have fun. Since Ji Feng held a Swiss passport, he didn't attract the attention of those who were continuously monitoring Shida.

One evening, Xu Xian finally told him that she had some free time after work. Ji Feng directly asked the hotel for a Mercedes and had the driver take him to KBS to participate in her show.

The same bodyguard who had received him last time led him to the show's venue. Sitting in the audience, he watched the brightly decorated stage with interest. This was Ji Feng's first time participating in such an entertainment event, and even though he was just an audience member, it was still a novel experience for him.

At 6:00 PM, the extra staff began to leave, and all the audience members were asked to take their seats. The show was broadcast live, so the audience's enthusiasm had to be stirred up. In hidden places, several staff members were ready to mobilize the audience's emotions.

Ji Feng couldn't help but shake his head. If he hadn't seen that they were staff members, he would have thought they were ordinary audience members. It seemed that such fakery wasn't just a domestic issue; foreigners were equally adept at it.

Five minutes later, the show officially began. The hosts were a man and a woman. Although they sounded good, and the audience was also very enthusiastic, Ji Feng realized he had overlooked a problem again: he couldn't understand a word.

Thinking that he had come to see Xu Xian tonight and that the tour guide had been with him all day and needed to rest, he had come alone. As a result, he now found himself sitting in the audience like a fool, surrounded by enthusiastic audience members, while he was struggling to stay awake, unable to understand anything.

The two women sitting next to Ji Feng finally noticed his discomfort. One of them nudged her companion, looked at Ji Feng, and whispered something. Seeing that Ji Feng didn't react, the girl sitting next to him gently touched him and asked in a low voice.

Seeing her curious and excited face, Ji Feng quickly replied in English, "Sorry, I don't speak Korean. Do you speak English?"

Hearing Ji Feng's words, the two women suddenly understood and smiled, "I see why you don't seem to like it. You can't understand it. Why did you come to watch this show?"

Ji Feng raised his hands and smiled, "I came to see Xu Xian. I'm sure you know Girls' Generation."

The two women's eyes lit up, and they excitedly chirped, "Of course, everyone in South Korea knows them. Did you come from abroad to see their performance?"

Ji Feng smiled and shook his head, "Sort of. I'm in South Korea for a trip, and I know Xu Xian. I found out she had a show tonight, so I came to see it."

Just as the two young women were about to continue talking, the host introduced the next performers as Girls' Generation. Ji Feng pointed to the stage, and the two women fell silent.

Although he still couldn't understand what the nine women were singing, watching their graceful bodies dance on stage was a pleasure, especially with the dynamic music. Ji Feng had to admit that he was somewhat biased, but he couldn't help but admire them.

Of course, Ji Feng only paid attention to Xu Xian. Apart from the three he had met, he didn't recognize the others, but their outfits were uniform. Although they all looked beautiful, Ji Feng felt that Xu Xian and Lin Yoon-a had the best figures and were the most beautiful.

Wearing white performance outfits with sparkling diamonds on the chest, crystal crowns on their heads, and white mini-skirts that exposed their beautiful legs, they looked particularly charming and beautiful.

Soon, the song ended with the nine girls' energetic dance, and for the first time, Ji Feng joined the audience in cheering.

Looking at his watch, he saw that the show was almost over. Sure enough, a few moments later, the show was announced to be over. Ji Feng guessed this from the hosts' final bow and the audience beginning to leave their seats.

Standing up, he saw the bodyguard who had led him in standing at the entrance to the backstage area, waving to him. Ji Feng walked over, and after the bodyguard spoke to the staff, they didn't stop him.

Thinking that the performance had been successful, he felt it was a bit impolite to come empty-handed, especially since he was meeting the other five for the first time. If he wanted to pursue Xu Xian, he would have to win over her sisters.

Using his mind to scan the space ring, he had an idea. Fortunately, he had bought quite a few things while wandering around South Korea.

The bodyguard led Ji Feng to a dressing room, knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed it open, gesturing for him to enter while staying outside.

"Ji Feng, how was our performance tonight?" Choi Yoo-jeong smiled brightly when she saw Ji Feng at the door. They had already changed out of their performance outfits and were removing their makeup. After the show, Xu Xian and the others had no other plans.

Ji Feng exaggeratedly stretched out his hands, thumbs up, and praised, "Absolutely fantastic. Congratulations, your performance was very successful."

Lin Yoon-a giggled, "Do you know what we sang?"

Ji Feng laughed awkwardly and retracted his hands, "Unfortunately, I didn't understand a word, but just listening to the music and watching the dance, I knew you were great. I heard this show has a ranking. What place did you get?"

Choi Yoo-jeong smiled, "Of course, we were first. So, are you going to treat us to dinner to celebrate? We haven't had dinner yet."

Xu Xian quickly interjected, "Ji Feng, don't mind them. They're just joking. Let me introduce you to the other sisters."

Ji Feng smiled and nodded, "No problem. If you're Xian's friends, you're my friends. How about I treat you to some Korean barbecue? I can't really get used to your kimchi."

The women burst into laughter. Many foreigners couldn't get used to it either. It looked red and covered in chili, but it wasn't actually that spicy.

However, Ji Feng had been in South Korea for over half a month and genuinely didn't like kimchi or the other dishes, which were too bland for his taste. Whenever he could, he preferred Western or Chinese food.

After Xu Xian introduced him to the other members, Ji Feng smiled, "Once again, congratulations on your successful performance. In addition to treating you to barbecue, I also have some small gifts for you. Can you guess what they are?"

Seeing Ji Feng's mysterious smile, the women became curious. But since he had come in empty-handed, they couldn't guess what his gifts might be.

PS: Reply to Guest: Xu Xian knows some Chinese and speaks it quite well. You can imagine that she has studied hard and learned it. After all, it's a novel, so a bit of imagination is allowed.
