Chapter 12: The Big Star Asks Me Out for Dinner

  Sitting in this small room chatting with these lovely young girls, Han Ankang also learned a lot about the South Korean entertainment circle. Hearing that most of these girls had been trained by their companies for several years before finally having the opportunity to become stars on stage and still not being recognized by others, Han Ankang also sighed that behind the glamorous appearance of these stars, there were also unknown hardships.

  While Han An-kang was chatting with Song Qian and others, Jin Zhong-guo, who had just finished filming for the day, felt that today's filming status was particularly good. In the past, after finishing filming, he wanted to sit down and rest, but today, after finishing filming, he felt full of energy. It was as if he had taken a revitalizing pill, without any of the fatigue he usually felt.

  Sitting next to him, old friend and host Liu Zai Shi also showed some curiosity: "Zhong Guo, you're in great shape today! After a tiring day, you still seem full of energy. Did something wonderful happen today?"

  Other resting teammates, upon hearing the good news, immediately gathered around. The most exaggerated teammate, Lee Hyori, even squeezed over and teased: "Is this guy willing to marry Enhyuk?"

  Everyone burst out laughing at one sentence, and Jin Jong-guk, facing the teasing about his rumored girlfriend, helplessly said: "What are you all talking about? I've told you many times, Eun-hye and I are just ordinary friends."

  Little brother Da established Ma said: "Girlfriends are all developed from ordinary friends."

  Watching a group of people enthusiastically cheering for Yoon Eun-hye, Kim Jong-kook had to repeat the question Liu Zai Sheng asked earlier and explained why he was in such good condition today. It was at a massage parlor where he met a truly skilled Chinese massage therapist who gave him a massage, which achieved this effect.

  These stars, who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, were naturally very interested in asking about Han Ankang when they heard that someone could solve this double fatigue of mind and body. When they learned about the age of this therapist, which was similar to that of Jiang Dacheng, the youngest among them, but with a very high level of acupuncture and massage, everyone was also very interested in asking questions.

  Can we let Kim Jong Kook introduce this terrible doctor and also help them adjust their bodies? After all, when a star doesn't have a healthy body, it's a very troublesome thing that affects development!

  Facing these close friends and new teammates, Kim Jong-kook didn't know if Han An-ke would give him face. After all, in the physical therapy room, he already knew that this Chinese boy knew very little about South Korean stars.

  Maybe others would feel honored to receive their invitation, but with someone like Han Ankang who doesn't understand the South Korean entertainment circle, he really didn't have much confidence.

  He thought of leaving the clinic and told Han Ankang that he would invite him to dinner as a thank you when he had the chance. Thinking that the effect of today's treatment was very good, he dialed Han Ankang's phone under everyone's expectant gaze.

  Han Ankang, who was chatting with Song Qian and others, heard the phone ringing in his pocket and thought it was Li Zongwei calling him to have dinner after work. But when he took out his phone and saw that it was Jin Zhongguo, whom he had treated that morning, he was also curious about why he was calling him at this time. Nevertheless, he quickly answered the call: "Mr. Jin, hello!"

  As soon as the phone was connected, Jin Zhongguo didn't hide his intention to invite him to dinner and introduce a few friends to get to know each other. Upon learning that this dinner was tonight, Han Ankang, who had just made an appointment with Song Qian and others for dinner, looked somewhat embarrassed and said: "Mr. Jin, I'm really sorry, I have an appointment with someone tonight. How about we find another time, and next time I'll invite you?"

  Just as Han Ahn-kang said this, Kim Jong-guk saw that everyone had an expectant look on their faces and somewhat embarrassedly mentioned that a group of friends were hoping to get him to adjust his body a bit, and also expressed that if Han Ahn-kang's friend was willing, they could also dine at the restaurant they had agreed upon.

  Han Ankang thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Jin, why don't I ask my friends first? Oh, come to think of it, they should be in the same line as you, Mr. Jin. Wait a minute, let me ask them."

  As Jin Zhongguo was still curious, Han Ankang walked up to Song Qian and the others and asked: "By the way, do you guys know a male star named Jin Zhongguo?"

  Song Qian was taken aback and said: "I know him! He's our senior, what's wrong?"

  Han Ankang looked a bit embarrassed and said, "It's like this, he wants to invite me out for dinner with his friends tonight, I was thinking of asking you guys if you'd like to come along. If not, I'll just turn down the invitation."

  Never thought that on Han Ankang's first day in South Korea, he would meet such a big-name star, and Song Qian, who knew how important relationships were in the entertainment industry, naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.

  "Just thinking about it, I'm worried that people might misunderstand and think we're hesitant, but Jung Soo-jung immediately exclaimed excitedly: 'Let's go! How can we not go? The opportunity to meet Gong Yoo OPPA is rare. Moreover, having dinner with him together is even more precious. Han OPPA, you're really amazing.'"

  Seeing Zheng Xiujing and the rest of the team with expectant eyes, Song Qian naturally went along with the crowd and said that if Han Ankang's friends didn't object, she wouldn't have any opinions. Soon, Jin Zhongguo heard that Han Ankang asked him about the gathering location and mentioned a barbecue restaurant name that everyone in the entertainment industry knew.

  Han Ankang quickly hung up the phone, not even giving Jin Zhongguo a chance to introduce over the phone who would be coming for dinner that night. This was also his first encounter with such an impolite young person.

  After Kim Jong-kook chose the name of the barbecue restaurant, Jeong Soo-young, who is most familiar with the entertainment industry's big and small things, immediately said that she knew the location of that store. And also said that the barbecue restaurant was opened by a veteran senior in the entertainment industry, and they rarely had the opportunity to go there normally.

  A group of young girls rushed into the room to dress up, leaving Han Ankang sitting on the sofa, really not understanding these young girls, why are they chasing stars when he is a star himself?

  After these girls spent a long time re-dressing, Han Ankang also felt that girls' makeup could indeed change their original appearance. But he asked himself if he still liked girls with a bare face, and always thought those cosmetics were unreliable.

  While Han Ahn-kong was waiting for Song Qian and others to dress up, Jin Zhongguo mentioned the invitation to Han Ahn-kong and said that when Han Ahn-kong came over to gather, he would also bring five younger juniors who were also in the same industry. These Korean entertainment seniors with relatively deep qualifications are also curious about how this young man, who has only been in South Korea for one day, can get along with them so quickly.

  No matter what, if this traditional Chinese medicine from Huaxia is really as amazing as Jin Zhongguo said, then these old stars with some physical problems would also think that it's a delightful thing to meet such a medical master over a meal. Soon everyone packed up and drove to the agreed-upon barbecue restaurant.

  This barbecue restaurant is run by Kang Ho-dong, a well-known host from the Korean entertainment industry who has a similar background to Yoo Jae-seok. Dining here can also ensure some privacy will not be exposed. In addition, the boss himself is also a well-known figure in the entertainment circle, and his relationship with Yoo Jae-seok and others is good, so when there are gatherings for barbecue, Kang Ho-dong's restaurant is always the first choice.

  Received a call from Kim Jong-kook, needing to entertain guests at night, Kang Ho-dong naturally told the staff of the barbecue restaurant to prepare a private room and barbecue. Adding that Liu Zaishi and Lee Hyori would also come over for dinner, as the boss, Kang Ho-dong also cancelled his next schedule and instructed his assistant to drive him back to the barbecue restaurant.

  When Jiang Hudu met these old friends in the private room, he found that they didn't start eating immediately. Instead, they were still waiting for someone outside the circle to start dinner. Jiang Hudu was also very curious and asked around. After listening to Jin Zhongguo's introduction, he learned that the person they were waiting for, a young Chinese named Han Ankang, was an extremely skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

  Jiang Hudu, who has also been feeling unwell lately, naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity and accompanied the guests and friends while waiting for Han Ankang's arrival.

  Unbeknownst to the big star Han Ankang, who was waiting for his own dinner, he accompanied these excited and nervous girls, took two taxis and arrived at a barbecue restaurant. Seeing Song Qian pointing at the billboard outside the restaurant, telling him that the person on it is the owner of the store, who is a very famous host in South Korea.

  Han Ankang also discovered for the first time that this host star seemed familiar to him. Before, when he was in school, he had accompanied Li Zongwei to watch a few Korean entertainment shows and still had some impression of this chubby host. However, his name, he didn't remember.

  When they arrived at the entrance of the store, Han Ankang found that the waiters here were very enthusiastic. After learning that Han Ankang was the guest that their boss and friends had been waiting for, the waiter suppressed the surprise in his heart and led Han Ankang and others to the member area on the second floor by the leader of the store.

  This member area is generally not open to ordinary guests, the purpose is to prevent the stars who are eating inside from being disturbed by diners or fans. When Kim Jong-kook and others sitting in the private room saw Han An-jiang appear at the door, Kim Jong-kook stood up immediately, and everyone hurriedly got up from the ground.

  This polite action startled everyone following behind, including Song Qian. They thought to themselves, "What's the background of this young oppa with such exceptional medical skills?" Even these renowned seniors in the South Korean entertainment industry, who were already seated, stood up to greet him so politely when he entered. What's going on here?!
