NOVEL WEB Chapter 474: Date and Dishes
```
After attending two post-match promotional events, at about six in the evening, Link drove to Jun Ji-hyun's residence in the Cheongdam-dong neighborhood of the Gangnam District, a high-rise apartment adjacent to Mugunghwa Park.
Cheongdam-dong is one of Seoul's famous affluent neighborhoods and is a well-known commercial center, with numerous fashion shopping centers, bars, cafés, art galleries, and entertainment companies. Real estate prices here are around 30 million Korean Won per pyeong, with each apartment valued at several billion Won.
Most of the residents here are wealthy tycoons, businessmen, and film and television stars, a symbol of wealth and status, akin to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.
Link also owned a detached villa in the Gangnam District, adjacent to the Han River, with an even better location than Jun Ji-hyun's. He bought it temporarily for his tour last year and had stayed there for a few days during his two visits to South Korea.
Beep beep!
When the car reached the underground parking garage of the apartment, Jun Ji-hyun's assistant opened the door and politely reminded him they had arrived.
Link hadn't stepped out of the car when he saw Jun Ji-hyun standing by the driveway, looking at him with a radiant smile and calling him "oppa."
Jun Ji-hyun was dressed in a rose-colored strapless red dress, revealing her fair and delicate collarbones. Her long black curled hair draped over her shoulders, and her slender swan-like neck was adorned with a diamond necklace, which set off her snow-white, smooth and fine skin. The cleavage on her chest seemed even more profound and soft, as if carved out of ivory and jade.
She was tall and slender, and the figure-hugging dress accentuated her curves. At 30 years old, she was at an age that brought out the best flavors in a woman—she possessed the youthfulness and beauty of a young girl and the mature sexiness of a young wife, combining the two perfectly.
"Haha, Ji-hyun, we're friends now, you didn't have to come down to meet me, you're too polite."
Link called out.
"Oppa, my apartment is hard to find, and I was worried you might get lost,"
Jun Ji-hyun replied with a smile.
"It seems so. The buildings here are quite different from New York,"
Link said with a light smile, as he took out a bouquet of red roses he had bought at the street corner to give her as a gift.
Jun Ji-hyun happily accepted the flowers and after instructing her assistant to take good care of the driver, Bob, she invited Link to enter the elevator.
With Link standing at 186 centimeters and Jun Ji-hyun at 173 centimeters, she appeared petite and delicate next to his sturdy build.
Jun Ji-hyun lived on the 16th floor. As the elevator ascended, she took the initiative to talk to him about the boxing match, asking if he was hurt and if he had received treatment.
Link rubbed his forehead and said it was nothing serious; the injury didn't affect him anymore.
Jun Ji-hyun praised his strength, saying it was amazing how he could knock his opponent flying with a single punch.
She also mentioned his charm was overwhelming, as all the spectators were cheering for him during the match, and many celebrities were present, too. According to media reports, over forty stars made appearances, and there were probably hundreds more who didn't.
Listening to her compliments, Link let out a light chuckle.
When the elevator reached the 16th floor, he followed Jun Ji-hyun into her apartment, a tastefully decorated duplex with a mezzanine. The spacious living room had sophisticated decor, and its floor-to-ceiling windows offered a direct view of the commercial street in Cheongdam-dong.
As the sky turned darker after six, the neon lights on the street lit up, and the flow of pedestrians started to thicken.
In the small dining room next door, Jun Ji-hyun had prepared a table of Korean cuisine including barbecue beef, spicy stir-fried rice cakes, cold noodles, ginseng chicken soup, and grilled eel with lemon.
Knowing his fondness for seafood, she also prepared several seafood dishes. The colorful array of dishes—red, white, black, green, and yellow—looked rather appetizing.
The table also boasted several bottles of fruit juice, barley tea, and four cans of beer.
It was a lavish meal.
Link praised the spread before sitting down to eat and chat. They started with a discussion about the work at J&Baker Entertainment. Jun Ji-hyun had taken on a movie in the first half of the year, "The Thieves," with an investment of 15 billion Korean Won, around 10 million US Dollars.
J&B Entertainment invested approximately 3.5 million US Dollars, ranking second among the co-producing companies.
The filming had been completed for the movie, which was now in post-production, with plans for a release next year.
There were also two other low-budget art films they were investing in, currently in the process of being shot and produced.
Link wasn't very interested in these matters.
When he established J&B Entertainment last year, he only invested 3 million US Dollars.
```
If Jun Ji-hyun performs well, he would consider increasing his investment next time he encounters a good project.
If she performs moderately, J&B company would simply regard it as Jun Ji-hyun's management agency, earning some drama fees and advertising revenue sharing each year.
The treatment is the same as that of Yang Dami.
"Oppa, in September, MBC TV station selected the most famous foreign celebrity in South Korea, and Oppa, you ranked first."
Jun Ji-hyun said while eating.
"Sounds great, is there a trophy?"
Link asked while eating grilled fish.
"No, this kind of ranking is mainly about popularity in South Korea and commercial value, MBC TV's selection is very credible."
Jun Ji-hyun said.
Link nodded. These past few days, when he came to South Korea for the match, Ms. Anna helped him land three Korean advertisements: one for a Korean commercial bank, one for men's skincare products, and a sports drink. Each brand paid an endorsement fee of over 15 million US dollars a year.
That South Korean companies were willing to hire him as an endorser was definitely related to his increased influence in the region.
"Oppa, do you want some beer?"
Jun Ji-hyun asked, picking up a can of CASS beer.
"Won't I get drunk? Ji-hyun, you know I can't hold my liquor."
Link asked as he took the beer.
"No, this is light beer. You won't get drunk even if you drink ten cans."
Jun Ji-hyun smiled slightly, opened a can of beer, and reached out to clink glasses with him.
Link touched glasses with her and took a sip. The beer was about four or five degrees; drinking several cans could still make him drunk.
However, when the two were alone, drinking was the best catalyst for the atmosphere. Initially, Jun Ji-hyun was somewhat reserved, but after drinking, her face turned red, and she took the initiative to talk about their scandal, saying that because of it, no one dared to pursue her to this day, and she said he should take responsibility.
Link joked that he was willing to take responsibility all the way.
Jun Ji-hyun also mentioned that she had pulled in quite a few resources in the film industry using his name and asked if he would be upset?
Link didn't mind.
J&B was a company founded by their joint investment. Jun Ji-hyun was responsible for managing and investing, and he was willing to provide some support in terms of finance and influence, to back up Jun Ji-hyun. If the quality of the movies invested by the company in the future was good, he could also help to get them distributed in North America.
"Thank you, Oppa! With Oppa's help, I promise to do well with J&B Entertainment."
Jun Ji-hyun said confidently.
Link smiled slightly and touched glasses with her.
After drinking a can of beer, Jun Ji-hyun's cheeks were red, and she looked irresistibly attractive with her drunken eyes and lips moistened by the beer.
Link asked her if she wanted to dance?
Jun Ji-hyun nodded, turned on the sound system, and played a lively rhythm song.
Link reached out to take her hand, wrapped his arms around her waist, and started to dance a ballroom dance in the living room.
With the movements of the dance, their bodies pressed together closely, and they could clearly feel each other's body temperature rising and their skin heating up with the friction.
Jun Ji-hyun's cheeks became even rosier, her body was exuding a mature scent, and she could clearly feel his muscles getting firmer and harder, while her body became softer and warmer.
As a dance was about to end, Link kissed the girl's ears and neck, and Jun Ji-hyun wrapped her arms around his neck too, eagerly lifting her head to offer her lips.
Link was not about to be polite, and after kissing for over ten minutes, he directly picked up Jun Ji-hyun, sat her on the dining table, tore open her outer layer, and began to taste the main dish of the day, a Korean cuisine named Jun Ji-hyun.
