After putting energy into work, it is generally difficult for people to feel the passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, the most anticipated holiday in February has arrived, which is Valentine’s Day, which is eagerly awaited by all lovers.
Although they have been together for more than a year, Liu Xinan and Bae Zhuhyun are still in a state of passionate love because they always get along very sweetly.
For couples who are in love, Valentine's Day is actually not a particularly special day worth celebrating. After all... for them, as long as they are together, it can be considered Valentine's Day.
Bae Zhuhyun, who had been thinking for a long time, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door of Office Director Kim's office.
"Come in."
Pei Zhuxuan opened the door and walked into the office with light steps. She first bowed politely to Director Kim, then said hello. After receiving the response, she sat in front of Director Kim.
Looking at the woman in front of him who showed no emotion, Chief Jin was slightly confused.
"Did something go wrong during the preparation process?"
The shooting of the music video has also ended. In the past two days, they have been cooperating with the company in preparing for their return, including but not limited to the shooting of various pictorials and some behind-the-scenes videos that will be released later.
Probably because their commercial value has increased a lot, the material resources the company has prepared for them this time are much more than before.
"No, I have something I want to talk to the room director about."
This was an answer that was beyond Chief Jin's expectation. He raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise.
"oh?"
"It's about what you mentioned to me last time, about my personal variety show after my return."
"Ah...what's the problem with that?"
"I would like to ask something more specific. You said you would take photos about my work and life, right?"
"It's like this. During that time, you should be going abroad. Well...but it's not China. China is going during the Tuanzong period. If you think you are going, you probably want to go to Europe. The specific situation has not been determined yet."
"That's it... I don't have any requirements for the shooting location, but there is one thing I want to discuss with you..."
"Is it a matter of the staff appearing together?"
Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips and nodded slightly, then she showed a puzzled expression: "I don't understand the company's intention. Isn't that incident in the past? If you arrange such a job for me now, won't it make everyone think again?
What about getting up?"
"Well... I understand what you mean, but there is one thing you need to be clear about, Erin. Your sense of variety shows does not support you supporting a show alone. Letting the staff appear together is indeed an attempt to whitewash your previous incident.
But equally, they are also the actors in your show."
Chief Jin replied in a deep voice.
As he said, Bae Zhuhyun is the most popular member in the team and the one with the least resources.
And this year, Bae Zhuhyun has obtained the resources that originally belonged to her, coupled with the storm of public opinion that has been surrounding her in the past two years... This personal variety show is bound to attract the attention of many, many people.
So, maximizing Bae Zhuhyun's commercial value is the company's goal this time.
Rather than saying it is a personal variety show, this is actually more like a "product display session". During the recording of the show, Bae Joo Hyun will definitely change into many sets of clothes, jewelry, and various fashionable items.
While clearing herself, she can also show her commercial value, and then she can also advertise for her team variety show after her solo variety show, as well as her return at the end of the year...
These are internal company requirements.
Finally, putting all these things aside, there is a deeper purpose for clearing Pei Zhuhyun's name, and that is...
"This year, you are the transnational couple that our country and China are highly promoting. There can be no black spots in you that can be used to make a fuss. This whitewashing is inevitable."
"Can…"
Looking at Pei Zhuhyun's eyes that were gradually darkening, Chief Kim took off his glasses, sighed deeply, and his tone became much softer.
"Of course, you don't have to accept this plan, but the premise is that you have to come up with a plan that can convince the company...at least you can convince me."
Pei Zhuhyun was stunned by the sudden change of conversation. Then she showed a surprised expression and stood up abruptly.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Kim was very happy. In fact, everything he said above was the request of the company's upper management, and he... knew Pei Zhuxuan better than the bosses.
After all, she is Pei Zhuhyun's most direct leader. If he doesn't even know what his employees are thinking, then he has failed as a leader.
From the beginning, Chief Kim knew that Bae Zhuhyun would definitely be dissatisfied with this project, so he did not directly take the job, but used a tactful way to deal with it.
Anyway, there is still a long time before filming, which is enough time for him to take Bae Zhuhyun's opinions into consideration.
Now that Pei Zhuxuan can bring it up on his own, he feels happy and relaxed.
"Well, I knew you wouldn't agree, so I also told the president that there is still plenty of time. You should first come up with a plan that can convince me."
Pei Zhuxuan suppressed the feeling of cheering, and then she became very aggrieved. This person should have known why he didn't tell her on the first day. She has prepared many reasons to convince Director Jin in the past few days!
"Then... when is the latest time I can come up with the plan?"
"Before returning, I don't think you will have time to prepare those things when you return. You can work hard on yourself before you are completely busy."
"Guilty! I understand, room chief!"
Bae Zhuhyun saluted Chief Kim very cutely, then turned around happily and prepared to leave.
But before leaving, another possibility suddenly crossed her mind.
Her movements froze, then she hesitated, turned back, and asked in a low voice.
"Director, did... Xin'an call you?"
"Xin'an? Liu Xin'an? Why did he call me?"
It is undeniable that the president is willing to give Bae Zhuhyun the opportunity to prepare her own plans, and a large part of it is really because of Liu Xin'an's face.
But Liu Xin'an's phone call really didn't happen.
"Huh, it's nothing, I'm just overthinking, room manager."
"Well, if you have nothing to do, go back and continue preparations. If you are planning... you should make it interesting and show your charm at the same time. These two points are very important."
"Gui~ I will think about it seriously."
"good."
After bowing politely to Director Jin again and again, she walked out of the office, her excitement finally uncontrollable.
She was as excited as a child, silently cheering for herself.
But soon she felt that her actions were extremely stupid, so, with her cheeks red and pretending that nothing happened, she quickly left from the door of Chief Kim's office.
…
"Today is Valentine's Day. If you don't go to accompany your girlfriend, does it really matter if you come to see me?"
If the person sitting opposite Liu Xin'an said this was a woman, a bloody mistress drama might be about to take place.
But it is a pity that the person sitting in front of Liu Xin'an at this time is a man.
Dai Zhiyuan took a sip of coffee and asked Liu Xin'an jokingly.
Liu Xin'an spread his hands. To be honest, he was hesitant to go see Bae Zhuhyun today. After all, he said he would not put pressure on that person. In the past ten days since the New Year, except for the quarrel between Bae Zhuhyun and Kang Seulgi on the day of returning to China, he had
I met Bae Zhuhyun once.
The rest of the time, more communication is done on mobile phones, video calls, voice chats and the like.
Of course it's a lie to say that she doesn't miss her, but... Liu Xin'an still remembers her stressed look. He didn't think Pei Zhuhyun had the energy and time to prepare any Valentine's Day gifts for him. He did prepare it himself, but after all
give or not...
"They're coming back soon. Let's wait until they finish this busy period. For a couple with a good relationship like us, every day is Valentine's Day as long as we are together."
This large portion of dog food made Dai Zhiyuan wear a mask of pain. He regrets it now. Can he drive Liu Xin'an away?
"Let's get down to business. I have work to do here this time." He looked seriously, cleared his throat, and then spoke seriously to Liu Xin'an.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xin'an, who was cheerful just now, also stopped his playful smile.
"The day after tomorrow in the afternoon, the media here will conduct an interview with us on the 30th anniversary of our establishment of diplomatic relations with them, and your name will be included."
"Um..."
"Then in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, there will be a meeting that needs you to attend. You don't need to do anything, just come along."
"I?"
"Yes, then, SBS also wants to interview you and Irene. I don't know if S-M received the message, but because you don't have an agency, this invitation was sent directly to our embassy."
Dai Zhiyuan told Liu Xin'an one by one about the recent situation. With the end of the Spring Festival, life on track began to proceed step by step.
Those tasks that had been decided a long time ago have gradually entered into the proper process.
Dai Zhiyuan...or the embassy gave Liu Xin'an a lot of help. As a Chinese, Liu Xin'an naturally had to cooperate in carrying out decent publicity.
"And there are TV interviews?"
"Yes, but this time it won't be an entertainment section. You and Irene should be attending some more formal occasions."
Liu Xin'an nodded.
"That's the general situation this month. I won't call you for some scattered small activities. In March... I will inform you again at that time, ah! Also, I will introduce you to a friend later."
"friend?"
"Yes, a very powerful friend, much better than me anyway."
Dai Zhiyuan winked, then picked up the coffee again and took a sip.
The notice he was supposed to convey has already been conveyed. If he touches it for a while...no, he should hand over the work to Liu Xin'an again. He has other things to be busy with.
"How awesome is it?"
"You'll know later... By the way, there's one more thing."
"What's up?"
"How about giving me some signed photos of Eileen and the others?" Dai Zhiyuan said his request.
Liu Xin'an was stunned and asked jokingly: "Why do you want that? Are you also a fan of hers?"
"No, we have a group, uh... I don't know if you can accept it, but it's a fan fiction group dedicated to writing about artists here. Have you heard about it?"
"not sure..."
"Anyway, there are many authors who are fans of the artists here. If you can help me get some signed photos, I can give them away later."
Liu Xin'an nodded clearly, and then a curiosity came to his mind.
"Is there anything written about her?"
"You mean your girlfriend?"
"right."
"There used to be, but since Irene established her relationship with you and made it public, many authors who wrote about her stopped writing about her. Now, you are almost becoming a person in that small circle who is criticized by everyone."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Liu Xin'an wasn't unhappy or anything, on the contrary, he laughed heartily.
"Okay, I'll tell her later, um... I can get other people's for you, twice, Yu Qi and the others, Ning Ning and the others can do it too."
"If I need to see you, that's fine. I'll go ahead and call you if I need anything."
"become."
Liu Xin'an stood up and followed Dai Zhiyuan out of the coffee shop.
"You really don't need me to send you off?"
Dai Zhiyuan waved his hand, then raised his finger and pointed to a building next to him.
"I'm going over here."
"Oh, this is very convenient for you."
"gone."
"Um."
After saying goodbye to Dai Zhiyuan, Liu Xin'an took out his mobile phone and saved the things Dai Zhiyuan told him just now in a memo, then frowned.
Now he is no longer just the anchor Liu Xin'an, at least this year he has a lot of things that need to be done by himself.
In that case...should he also find an agent who specializes in helping him contact these jobs?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No, he is not an artist, so he should be looking for an assistant.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary. Liu Xin'an slapped his palm and got into his car.
Go home first and talk about it later.
The coffee shop where we agreed to meet was not very far from home. After driving the car safely into the underground garage, Liu Xin'an picked up the lunch he bought along the way, put on his mask and walked into the elevator.
And when he opened the door to his home and saw the pair of women's sneakers placed under the entrance, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then it turned into surprise.
His opening the door was also heard by the uninvited "guest" at home, so soon, Bae Zhuhyun, who was wearing khaki sweatpants and a beige sweatshirt, put her hands on her hips and looked down at her boyfriend...
There is no way, who made her short?
Even if she was standing on the porch one level higher than Liu Xin'an, she could only look at Liu Xin'an on an equal footing.
"Ah, where have you been?"
Pei Zhuxuan narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked angrily.
She got up early especially for today. After receiving the good news from Chief Jin, she ran over as soon as possible.
She originally thought it was a surprise for Liu Xin'an, but unexpectedly, she missed it.
Of course, she will not restrict Liu Xin'an's personal freedom, but the problem is... first of all, today is Valentine's Day, and secondly! Liu Xin'an went out without telling her!
This is what she is dissatisfied with.
"Why did you come here? Why didn't you say anything to me when you came here?"
Liu Xin'an took off his shoes and excitedly reached out to give his girlfriend a long-awaited hug. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a week, and he missed this person very much.
But how could the dissatisfied Bae Zhu Hyun fulfill Liu Xin'an's wish?
"Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question yet."
Pei Zhuxuan fought hard, but the difference in combat power between the two was too great. In the end, she was still tightly held in the arms of this damn guy.
Although Liu Xin'an still had the air-conditioning when he came back from outside, the feeling of peace of mind still made Pei Zhuxuan soften at once.
The hug didn't last long. Soon, Liu Xin'an realized that he was still cold and quickly let go of Bae Zhuhyun.
He grinned and then explained where he had been.
"I met with Lao Dai. He came to Seoul today for some business."
"That Mr. Dai Zhiyuan?"
"Well... I didn't expect you to come over, and I originally wanted to meet you back, so I didn't tell you."
This is just one of the reasons. As for why he didn't take the initiative to tell Pei Zhuhyun about it, it was actually because of the special nature of today's date.
Again, he needs to control his love that has nowhere to go.
If there is too much, Bae Zhuhyun will not be able to bear it.
"Well, you should have told me. I came to see you early in the morning and you were not at home. It's still Valentine's Day today. You almost scared me to death."
When Pei Zhuhyun walked in and didn't see Liu Xin'an, she almost suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest.
Normally that would be fine, but today is Valentine's Day.
Although her reason told her that Liu Xin'an would never do such a thing to feel sorry for her, all kinds of strange and weird pictures appeared in her mind uncontrollably.
It's like Liu Xin'an went on a date with another woman early in the morning.
Or... this person didn't come back at all last night? After all, his bed was clean, and there was no trace of anyone spending the night.
Just those weird possibilities made Bae Zhuhyun almost faint.
Well... it turns out that she did think too much.
"Why, are you worried that I will find another woman?"
"Um."
"Then there must be someone more beautiful than our Zhu Hyun. But from my current observations, it seems that such a person has not been born yet."
Although it was a compliment, Bae Zhuhyun, like many girls in love, was keenly aware of the dissatisfaction in these words.
She reached out and grabbed Liu Xin'an's collar, forcing him to lower his head slightly.
"Mo? If there is, why don't you go find that person?"
"I'm complimenting you. Why can't I tell that I'm complimenting you?"
Liu Xin'an smiled absurdly, and then he covered Pei Zhuhyun's lips with his lips.
After a gentle kiss, Liu Xinan smiled and hugged Bae Zhuhyun again.
Pei Zhuxuan snorted lightly and smiled as well.
Yes, Miss Pei is so easy to coax.
No...it should be said that in front of Liu Xin'an, Miss Pei is so easy to coax.
This thing is divided into people.
"So what is Mr. Dai Zhiyuan looking for you for?"
"Hasn't your company told you yet?"
"our company?"
Pei Zhuxuan was confused. She just came back from Chief Kim today and didn't know what happened.
"Yes, SBS wants to interview us two, with the theme of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our country and your country."
