Miyeon had an innocent character. After hearing everybody praise how amazing Jung Ji Hyung was, she went with the flow and casually spoke some good words. Once these words were spoken, Jung Ji Hyung felt as if he was on cloud nine. In his mind he thought that Miyeon really wanted to be more intimate with him to receive some benefits, and he couldn't help but feel immensely proud of himself.
How can an errand boy from a small company possibly be compared with the son of an influential official like me?
Jung Ji Hyung felt that he was overthinking things earlier, he simply didn't need to oppress Lisa that strongly.
The more Jung Ji Hyung felt that way the more he thought of being more mature and earnest, that he should convey how respectable and wise he was. So, he immediately called out to everybody, "Please take a seat everyone, all expenses today will be paid by me, Jung Ji Hyung, you don't need to be courteous."
When he looked at Miyeon, Jung Ji Hyung tenderly smiled and said, "Miyeon, you might not be familiar with this place, how about you sit by my side, and I'll tell you all about it. I guarantee you will have lots of fun tonight."
"Ah?" Miyeon hurriedly waved her hands, and with a smile she said, "You don't need to do that, Head Jung, everybody can continue to have fun, I don't know how to sing and dance, I can just watch by big brother Li's side."
Jung Ji Hyung's hopes were dashed, and he felt anger welling up inside him. But he only thought of it as Miyeon being a shy chick, therefore he feigned a magnanimous smile, "Alright then, you may sit by Mr. Manobam's side, if there's anything you want feel free to ask, you don't need to be polite."
"Don't need to be polite? Of course I won't be polite, if I'm polite doesn't that mean that I'm being disrespectful to Department Head Jung?" Lisa laughed and said, "How about we first order a few bottles of red wine to liven things up a bit, which will also give everybody the energy to sing."
A burst of disdain flowed into Jung Ji Hyung's heart, he inwardly scolded this country bumpkin who only knew how to take advantage and freeload. But naturally, a few bottles of red wine were nothing in his eyes, and he casually waved his hand with a smile and said, "Of course that's alright, Mr. Lisa, you may directly order a few bottles of whichever red wine you want."
The other teachers that were seated were all elated. Although they were considered relatively well off, it was natural that when it comes to free wine, the more the merrier.
Lisa revealed an expression of reverence, and immediately walked out the door to look for a waiter. After speaking to the waiter, he immediately returned to his seat and sat beside Miyeon, with a smile he said, "Sure enough, Department Head Jung is a great figure with deep pockets, I've ordered 5 bottles of red wine but I'm not sure if that will be enough."
5 bottles? Jung Ji Hyung sneered in his heart. It wouldn't be considered a big sum even if he ordered 10 bottles.
"Mr.Lisa is too polite, with this many people 5 bottles definitely wouldn't be enough, we should order a few more bottles later."
The efficiency of the waiters in Heavenly Province was very high, after everybody chatted for a short while, the bottles of red wine placed in an ice bucket were served. When everybody looked at the 5 bottles of red wine in the bucket, they were immediately shocked!
The 5 bottles were actually '98 Castel red wine from France! Anybody with a slight amount of understanding in wine would recognize this wine, a brand from Bordeaux, France. Moreover, it was one of the well-known top-class wineries, in addition it has been aged for over 10 years, it's simply impossible for its value to not be thousands of dollars!
Naturally, Jung Ji Hyung was the most familiar with the prices attached to these bottles of wine, he'd never thought that the red wine Lisa ordered was something like this and thought he had ordered ordinary red wine that cost a little over 100 dollars per bottle.
Helplessly watching 6000 dollars fly out from his pocket, Jung Ji Hyung had the urge to puke blood.
"This is truly all thanks to Department Head Jung, I don't even dare to imagine drinking wine like this usually." Several quick-witted teachers had caught on with Lisa's scheme, while sneering inwardly, and conformed by speaking words of praise.
Jung Ji Hyung's smile was a little rigid as he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing as long as everybody is happy."
As of this moment, his originally high-spirited mood was now irritable like he had been stuck in a storm. After carefully sizing up Lisa who was happily chatting with several other teachers, Jung Ji Hyung was thinking of a way to punish this fella who didn't know his place.
Yet the teachers in the room couldn't care less, they were starting to feel high, and took turns going up to sing and dance to their heart's content without the slightest similarity to a teacher with rationality. If their students saw how they looked at this moment, they might rub their eyes because of this absurd scene.
Miyeon quietly sat on the sofa, listened, and occasionally ate a piece of fruit. Her quiet and contented expression contained a faint smile, yet she didn't participate in any singing.
Jung Ji Hyung's put his feelings back in order, seeing Miyeon engrossed in listening to the others' singing, he immediately had an idea, and took over a microphone and said, "Today's party is done to welcome our teacher Choi, as your Department Head, I'll sing a song just for Miyeon, to convey the sincere feelings I have right now......"
The teachers all knew that Jung Ji Hyung desired Miyeon, hence they cooperated by applauding and cheering.
Miyeon was at her wits end, and fidgetily glanced at Lisa by her side, seeing that Lisa didn't have any reaction, she relaxed a little.
At this moment, Jung Ji Hyung was already engulfed in deep emotions; he entered a song into the system and said, "I shall sing 《Absolute Infatuation》, as a gift to Miss Choi."
To be honest, Department Head Jung's singing was still pretty good, although he didn't manage to hit some of the high notes, he managed to sing the entire song, Absolute Infatuation by Li Sheng Jie. It was full of strong emotions; it can be assumed he'd sung it at least 700 or 800 times. If an ordinary girl heard this, she would inevitably be touched by this.
All the teachers began applauding and cheering, and Miyeon conformed by clapping and saying, "thank you".
Jung Ji Hyung was rather pleased with himself, but suddenly noticed that Lisa didn't clap, and was instead unceasingly pouring wine for himself to drink. Jung Ji Hyung's heart was once again enraged, and with a strange smile he said, "From the beginning until now, Mr. Lisa hasn't sung, is it possible for you to sing a song and let everybody have their fill in pleasure to the ears?"
"Erm......" Lisa's eyebrows creased, he put down the wine glass, and awkwardly smiled as he said, "I think that's unnecessary, I'm not so good at singing."
"How can that be allowed? Everybody has sung, whether it's good or bad is secondary, what's most important is participation." Jung Ji Hyung felt that he finally found a chance to humiliate Lisa, and immediately struck while the iron was hot by saying, "Once Mr. Lisa has sung, we shall invite Miyeon to sing as well, what does everybody think?"
The teachers' food and drinks were all Jung Ji Hyung's money, so naturally they all agreed to this measly request from him. They all joined in to shout for Lisa and Miyeon to sing.
Although Miyeon didn't dare to sing, she did want to hear Lisa's singing voice. After all, when a woman is infatuated with a man, she wants to know everything about him.
"How about you just sing a song big brother Li? It doesn't matter if you sing badly, let's make everybody happy." Miyeon couldn't bear the curiosity and egged him on.
Lisa no longer had a choice, he scratched his head, and received the microphone. He slowly stood up, and said, "Actually, I only returned half a year ago. So, I've basically never heard many of the popular songs here. If I must sing, please allow me to choose a song from another country......"
"Mr. Lisa is even a returnee?"
"Are you serious! He sure kept it well in the dark!"
"Yo, it's not good to boast!"
Several teachers immediately heckled; it was obvious that they weren't convinced that this man was someone who was hiding the fact that he returned from another country. Otherwise, how could he possibly be a small company's employee!?
Jung Ji Hyung strongly felt that Lisa was trying to shirk away, and proudly smiled and said, "It's no big deal, Mr. Lisa may choose a foreign song, all of us present are English teachers, so we can still understand."
"That's right, that's right!" All the teachers gained interest.
After Lisa cleared his throat and chose a song on the computer, the song started playing in the background, and he humbly smiled to everybody, saying, "My apologies, I don't intend to sing an English song, next up is a song for everybody, it's a Spanish song sung by the Latin singer Enrique Iglesias, Quizás, if translated into Chinese, it should be called, 'Perhaps'......"
The rich Spanish charm of the song brought an easing feeling to all of the room. Lisa's voice possessed hoarseness that perfectly fit with the song, and he started his own rendition of it......
"......Estasperdiendoeltiempo,pensando,pensando PorloqueTumasquieras hastacuando,hastacuando Yasipasanlosdias,yyodesesperado......"
[TL: Untouched.]
Everybody present practically opened their eyes wide in disbelief. Jung Ji Hyung even more so felt pain as if there was a chicken egg stuck in his throat.
The melodious music matched with the unruly and indulgent voice, the Spanish song led everyone to be immersed in a beautiful and touching scenery.
The moment the music stopped, other than Jung Ji Hyung, everybody applauded vigorously, Miyeon's eyes were even moist, happily revealing an intoxicated smile.
