153: Chapter 153 How much money does Liu Zijun have?

In front of the two grills in the courtyard, Liu Zijun declined the waiter's help and grilled the meat for everyone by himself!

He smiled and greeted everyone to take their seats.

"Don't just stand there, sit down. The korean beef has been ready several times now. Everyone, come and see how my cooking is."

On the grill in the center of the courtyard, top-quality korean beef was sizzling, grease dripping and sparking small flames, with a mouth-watering aroma.

Liu Zijun deftly flipped the meat, cutting the korean beef—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—into small pieces and distributing them onto everyone's plates.

The girls were all stunned by his movements!

Kwon Yul-Yuri asked, "Joon oppa! Are you a chef? Your knife skills and grilling technique are amazing!"

Liu Zijun smiled and said, "Knowing you like korean beef, I originally wanted you to try the beef from Moon Bay Ranch, but I haven't been able to get in touch lately. Otherwise, the beef from there is truly the best!"

Tiffany Young cried out, "Moon Bay Ranch? That name sounds so familiar. Is it that ranch in New Zealand that Im Yoona went to behind our backs?"

Liu Zijun nodded.

Son Ye-jin said, "The beef there is indeed even better than the korean beef served in this shop!"

Kim Hyoyeon said in surprise, "No way! I already think the korean beef here is delicious! Is the beef there even better?"

Choi Sulli immediately patted her chest and said, "It's true! The cattle there are all free-range on the vast grasslands. The cows raised by Alice and the others are excellent. Just thinking about that flavor makes me miss it."

"Oppa! When we have some free time, let's go play at the ranch again, okay?"

Liu Zijun smiled and nodded.

Kim Taeyeon sighed, "As expected of Chaebol Liu, you speak so grandly! A trip like that must cost a lot, right? Private jets, customized ranch tours..."

Choi Sulli suddenly said, "It shouldn't cost much, right? After all, the plane, the yacht, and the ranch all belong to oppa! We're just basking in oppa's light!"

Everyone went silent, staring blankly at Choi Sulli!

Choi Sulli was startled and lowered her head. Had she said something wrong?

Son Ye-jin and Im Yoona both rubbed her head. This silly girl!

One shouldn't flaunt their wealth!

Liu Zijun laughed, "That's right! It doesn't cost much! I thought you all knew!"

Kwon Yul-Yuri scolded directly, "Yah! Im Yoona! You've forgotten your sisters now that you have a husband, haven't you? Keeping your mouth shut so tight!"

Kim Taeyeon also laughed, "Krystal! Older Sister Victoria Song, you guys too! You didn't even give us a heads-up!"

Victoria Song smiled, "Taeyeon! That's Liu Zijun's business! Since family members like Im Yoona and Choi Sulli didn't say anything, it wouldn't be right for us outsiders to speak up!"

Sunny suddenly put her arm around Liu Zijun's shoulder, though she had to stand on her tiptoes!

"chingu! You say JS Investment is already very rich, so just how much money do you have?"

Liu Zijun stood still, seeing everyone looking at him in silence.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't know either!"

"aishiba!"

"dog man!"

"aishiba" was what most of them shouted, while "dog man" was what Jessica Jung muttered!

Seeing everyone staring at her, her face flushed slightly!

Especially Liu Zijun's half-smiling expression made her want to find a hole to crawl into.

"If you don't want to say, then don't! No need to put on an act."

Liu Zijun said, "I really don't know! The money in my family isn't mine. I don't have a single cent!"

Choi Sulli immediately chimed in triumphantly to Im Yoona, "I can testify to that. It's true! Oppa is really pitiful at home; he's not even as rich as I am!"

Liu Zijun laughed again, "As for how much money I personally have, I don't know. Jiang Hongshao manages it all! It should be quite a lot."

What he didn't say was that this was all money he had made from side jobs and funds he'd siphoned off during his time in the God Hunter Organization.

He originally thought he would lose everything because of the Lee Ryuk-hee incident with TJK Group, but who knew that under Elder Jiang's maneuvering, he actually received quite a bit, which Jiang Hongshao was still managing.

The women fell silent. After a long while, a voice rang out, "Um, Joon oppa! What do you think of me? My figure and face are pretty good, right? How about I become your Fourth Madam Kwon?"

Kwon Yuri's mischievous words immediately triggered a joint suppression from Im Yoona and Choi Sulli!

Liu Zijun looked around and smiled, "Except for Joo-hyun and the other two girls—oh, and poor little Jin-ri—which of you isn't a little rich lady? You're all loaded. I'm the one who wants to be a kept man!"

His words drew a wave of playful rebukes, followed by laughter!

Liu Zijun grilled a few more pieces of meat, then walked up to Kang Seulgi and said, "Seulgi, I know a doctor in America. I'll mention it to Jiang Hongshao later and arrange for your mother to take you there to have your throat checked. Keep working hard. You will definitely debut. There's nothing wrong with sticking to your dreams!"

Kang Seulgi burst into tears. She had been thinking of giving up recently because of her vocal cords.

Bae Joohyun and Park Soo-Young also got teary-eyed and said seriously, "Thank you, Elder Brother Liu Zijun!"

The three of them were still trainees, and they knew the hardships of pursuing a dream.

Kim Taeyeon and the others had also endured similar struggles, even harder ones.

They all stepped forward to comfort them.

Sunny looked at Liu Zijun with a complicated expression.

With Liu Zijun's connections, the three of them would definitely have no problem in next year's debut girl group plan, even though they were already excellent themselves.

Noticing Sunny's gaze, Liu Zijun smiled, "Soon-kyu chingu! Don't worry, JS Investment Company will always only be the second-largest shareholder of SM Entertainment Company!"

Sunny and the others all looked at him.

"Thank you, chingu!"

The short girl was about to rush up and hug him for a kiss, but Im Yoona held her back firmly.

Im Yoona scolded, "Yah! Liu Zijun, do you want to die? Why are you spreading warmth everywhere? Are you trying to show off how capable you are?"

"Today is my birthday, not the time for you to show off how rich you are!"

Liu Zijun seeing she was truly getting anxious, pulled a folder out of Choi Sulli's bag and said, "Im Yoona! This is a gift from Mom and me! Do you want to take a look?"

Im Yoona immediately let go of Sunny and stepped forward to take it!

The other girls gathered around, overcome with curiosity!

Inside the folder were two documents. One was a red booklet—it was for a house in Beijing, China, in the same residential complex as Choi Sulli's.

Aside from Choi Sulli, only Victoria Song recognized it immediately.

"Wow! Liu Zijun, your family really is filthy rich! A house in Beijing with this floor area must be worth at least 20 billion korean won!"

Im Yoona instantly burst into tears of joy. This represented the recognition of Liu Zijun's parents!

"Im Yoona! Mom said to give her a call tonight when you're free!"

Im Yoona didn't even look at the gift Liu Zijun gave her; she just pulled out her phone and walked out of the courtyard to make the call.
