"You have an interview this afternoon with Liu Xin'an. After lunch, you can sort out your situation and go directly to MBC's building in Yeouido."
Cheng Taeqian pushed open the door of the practice room and spoke to Bae Zhuhyun.
And Pei Zhuxuan nodded, two days have passed since Valentine's Day, and today is the day of the interview Liu Xin'an mentioned before.
"Brother Taiqian, has the head of the department agreed to that?"
Although what Bae Zhuhyun said was very cryptic, Kang Seulgi, who was sipping a glass of water at the side, knew exactly what Bae Zhuhyun was asking.
After all, Pei Zhuhyun had already shown off the doll to them.
"Are you talking about the doll?"
"right!"
The night after she got the doll, Bae Zhuhyun directed Liu Xin'an to ask for authorization from Chief Kim.
Director Kim cannot make the decision alone on this kind of thing. In the final analysis, it is not easy to define whether this kind of thing can be regarded as Bae Zhuhyun's peripherals.
But considering the relationship with Liu Xin'an, the final result came quickly.
It’s just that I didn’t tell Bae Zhuhyun immediately.
"I agree. As long as Liu Xin'an doesn't use it for commercial purposes, it's totally fine."
Just as Pei Zhuxuan was sure, how could a company that didn't want to offend Liu Xin'an refuse such a trivial matter?
What was promised above was a pleasure.
"Very good."
"Don't forget to eat early and leave early after eating."
"Is this an interview that's going to be on camera?"
"If you appear on camera, I'll ask you to go to the beauty salon. It's just a simple interview."
Cheng Taiqian left after giving instructions.
After drinking a lot of water, Kang Seulgi burped cutely, then walked over to Bae Zhuhyun and asked curiously: "Didn't you say it was an interview with SBS? Why did it become MBC?"
Pei Zhuxuan spread her hands. In fact, she didn't remember clearly what Liu Xin'an told her at the time, but what she heard from Cheng Taiqian was definitely correct.
"I'm coming back in the afternoon, you don't have to wait for me, just continue with your work."
"Well, let's continue now?"
"Come."
The morning time passed quickly. After a hard morning, it was natural to have a hearty... nutritious meal at noon!
Looking at the oily lunch on the plate, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly lost his appetite.
Jiang Seulgi didn't eat nutritious meals, but her figure was still as good as ever. It doesn't matter if she eats more, she just needs to exercise more.
She doesn't resist exercise.
"If you don't want to eat, just don't eat. After the interview, Liu Xin'an will take you to have a big dinner."
"The SBS interview may be scheduled when. I have to be careful these days."
Pei Zhuxuan picked up a piece of cauliflower with a fork, put it in her mouth and bit it hard, the expression on her face became more and more desperate.
She pinched the spoon and couldn't help sighing.
She obviously hasn't eaten anything particularly greasy recently, so why does she always feel like she's gained weight?
"Seulgi, do you think I'm fat?"
"No, it's true that you are too thin."
"Really? But why do I always feel like I've gained some weight?"
"It's psychological. Who said you have gained weight recently? It couldn't be Liu Xin'an, right?"
Pei Zhuxuan shook her head, it was just she who felt this way.
Unable to figure it out, Pei Zhuxuan simply stopped thinking about it. She continued to eat the nutritious meal. She no longer cared about the taste. She ate it quickly and then set off quickly.
It was not Cheng Taiqian who sent her to MBC. There was no need for Cheng Taiqian to accompany her for such a small job, so just after 12:30, the nanny car that Pei Zhuhyun was riding in had already stopped at the entrance of MBC.
Wrapped in a coat and a mask, she jumped out of the car lively, but it was still very cold in Seoul in mid-February.
When the cold wind blew, Pei Zhuxuan shivered heartily, then quickly wrapped up his coat, lowered his head and quickly followed the staff towards the MBC building.
Her messy black hair was flying beautifully, but her embarrassed appearance had nothing to do with her beauty.
When he walked into the MBC building, a warm feeling spread throughout his body, and Bae Zhuhyun finally relaxed a little.
After she entered the door, she looked around, and soon a man with glasses wearing a work badge appeared in front of her.
"Ms. Irene from Red Velvet?"
"Hello... are you here to pick me up?"
"That's right, come with me. I'll take you to the living room where you will be interviewed."
Pei Zhuxuan nodded, took off her mask, and showed her signature beautiful smile.
Her extremely charming little face can easily capture the hearts of others. At least the handsome guy who came to pick her up was a little nervous because of her beautiful smile.
With the guidance of insiders, Pei Zhuhyun arrived at the sixth floor of MBC without any hindrance.
After turning left and right, and walking for a while, the group finally stopped at a door with a sign saying "Reception Room".
"The agreed interview time is 1:30, but you and Mr. Liu Xin'an are already here. I'm going to call the person in charge of this interview. You can go in and sit down first."
"Nai, thank you~"
"It doesn't matter."
After seeing off the responsible staff member with a smile, Pei Zhuxuan quickly opened the door, and Liu Xin'an was indeed sitting in the living room, flipping through a magazine in his hand.
The sound of the door opening also brought Liu Xinan back to his senses while reading a magazine. After seeing the familiar Bae Zhuhyun, he also raised a gentle smile.
"coming?"
"Well, you came so early."
"I just arrived a few minutes ago, long time no see, everyone."
Liu Xin'an was explaining the first half of the sentence to Bae Zhuhyun, and the greeting at the end was naturally to the staff who came with Bae Zhuhyun this time.
There were not many staff members coming with Bae Zhuhyun this time, there was only one female assistant.
It's just an ordinary interview assignment, there's no need to make it a big deal.
Cheng Taiqian didn’t even come with him!
"Oh~ Mr. Liu Xin'an is very handsome today."
Because she is an assistant who has a good relationship with Bae Joo-hyun, the assistant named Kim Mi-sook can also naturally joke with Liu Xin-an.
The staff around Bae Zhuhyun still like to joke with Liu Xinan. After all, Liu Xinan is a very easy-going person who is easy to get along with. Besides, everyone is very good friends with Bae Zhuhyun, and they are also very willing to see Bae Zhuhyun find such a person.
A boyfriend who suits your own needs.
Just as Kim Mi-sook said, today Liu Xinan very obediently put on one of the several sets of clothes that Bae Zhuhyun bought for him.
Already tall and handsome, he looks even more like an artist under the background of his clothes.
"Like artists, if you two could star in a TV series together, I would definitely follow it every day."
"Forget it about TV dramas or anything like that. My acting skills can only be described as lame."
"How is that possible? Have you already tried acting?"
"There's no need to persuade him. He can't even deceive me. How could he deceive the audience?"
Pei Zhuhyun interrupted the chat between Kim Mi-sook and Liu Xin'an, came and sat down next to Liu Xin'an, and pursed her lips and smiled at Liu Xin'an.
"right?"
In response to his girlfriend's questioning, Liu Xin'an just smiled and nodded.
"Stop praising me, are you two the only ones here today? Brother Taiqian didn't come?"
"Well, it's not a particularly troublesome job. Brother Taiqian didn't come over."
Pei Zhuxuan answered casually, and then lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.
"Didn't you say it was an interview with SBS? Why did you come to MBC?"
"SBS will happen in a few days, do you remember it?"
"Of course not!" Pei Zhuhyun said righteously, well... the only thing is to ignore her guilty eyes.
During the chat, a very capable woman in formal attire opened the door of the living room. After seeing Pei Zhuhyun and Liu Xin'an in the room, she first smiled and briefly introduced herself.
"Ms. Eileen, Mr. Liu Xin'an, I am Li Yanmei who is responsible for interviewing you two this time. Please take care of me for today's interview."
Liu Xin'an and Bae Zhuhyun exchanged a look. Bae Zhuhyun, who was better at handling this kind of scene, spoke first: "Hello, Ms. Lee Yeonmi, just follow your own habits."
Li Yanmei nodded. She took out the recorder, gestured to Liu Xin'an and Bae Zhuhyun, opened it, and at the same time put the tablet she carried with her away.
"Then let's start now?"
"Can."
"The first question is of course to Ms. Irene from Red Velvet. I heard that Red Velvet is coming back, right?"
This interview will be released in a few days, and that time is about the time when S-M announced the news of Bae Zhuhyun's return, so although today's interview is said to be about her relationship with Liu Xin'an, or the relationship between them
Let’s discuss the differences between the two countries, but it would be great to take this opportunity to publicize it.
"In...March 28th is the date of our next return."
Facing the reporter's interview, Bae Zhuhyun showed her professionalism as an artist. Even when there was no camera, she still maintained a very beautiful smile and her movements were extremely elegant.
The soft-spoken answers are very enjoyable, just like chatting.
"Then I wish red velvet's album a big hit in advance. Mr. Liu Xin'an will support red velvet's return, right?"
"Of course, my family and friends also asked me to get red velvet's autograph. Everyone is looking forward to their return."
"Hearing what you two said, I'm even more looking forward to Red Velvet's return."
"Thank you~"
After the simple greetings were over, Lee Yeon Mi looked at Bae Joo Hyun again: "What I'm curious about is, do artists' daily lives change a lot after they fall in love?"
"If there are changes... changes in living habits will naturally change." Pei Zhuxuan thought for a while and answered softly, "I think like many people, when I see something suitable for the other person in life, I will think of the other person, like
Whether it's nice-looking clothes or delicious food... you can't help but think, 'How will he react if he eats it?'"
Pei Zhuxuan answered with a smile. After that, she felt that something was still not enough, so she added: "Similar to this feeling?"
"Will there be any changes at work?"
Of course there are changes, but that kind of thing certainly cannot be mentioned on the table.
So Pei Zhuhyun didn't hesitate at all, smiled and waved.
“We are the type of people who don’t comment on each other’s work, so we can both be fully committed when working.”
"Does Mr. Liu Xin'an think so too?"
"Yes." Liu Xin'an nodded.
He didn't want to steal Bae Zhuhyun's limelight from today's interview. Compared to him, an anchor who has stable exposure and working hours every day, Bae Zhuhyun needs the exposure brought by this interview more.
So his answer was very concise and clear.
"Ah~ I want to ask Mr. Liu Xin'an something. Although your mother is from our country, it was your first time to come to Korea last year, right?"
"Um."
"Does the life here make you feel a little uncomfortable? There must be some differences between the two countries. Is there anything that makes you feel strange after coming here?"
Liu Xin'an had already prepared for this question. He thought for a while, and after briefly sorting out his words, he replied in a deep voice: "Actually, there is nothing awkward about my diet and life, whether it is language or living habits.
Well...actually it's no different from when I was in China. If I have to say...it's probably because I'm not used to coffee."
"Ah~ he can't drink coffee at all." Bae Zhuhyun also added.
"Is it... not to your liking?"
"Not really, it's just that I'm just not used to drinking it. Not many young people in China choose to drink coffee. Many people prefer to drink hot water, or some drinks such as milk tea, so when I first came here, I saw many
I really don’t get used to the coffee shop.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Are you used to drinking now?"
Liu Xin'an waved his hands and showed a helpless expression: "As you work hard to adapt, maybe you will be able to adapt completely after a while."
"Oh? What do you mean, do you plan to continue living in Korea in the future?"
This question made Pei Zhuhyun couldn't help but look at Liu Xin'an.
This is always something that makes Pei Zhuhyun feel very ashamed of Liu Xin'an. After all, living here is very inconvenient for Liu Xin'an.
But Liu Xin'an didn't hesitate at all, he smiled and nodded.
"Thanks to the special nature of my job, after all, my job does not have the same environmental requirements as her job. A computer and a smooth network environment can already allow me to work, so I plan to work in the future.
People who live here.”
———
The interview did not last too long. After more than an hour, Lee Yeon Mi put away her things, smiled and shook hands with Yoo Shin An and Bae Joo Hyun as she said goodbye.
After saying goodbye to the reporter who interviewed them, the two left MBC together.
"I thought I would ask some difficult questions, but in the end I just asked such a common question?"
Liu Xin'an looked regretful. He had compiled a lot of words yesterday for today's interview.
After all, this is an interview related to the differences between the two countries. How to avoid offending people on either side and satisfying people on both sides at the same time is not an easy task.
"Today is probably just a warm-up, aren't there many activities waiting for you later?"
"That's true. I suddenly became busy, which is quite awkward."
There will be a meeting tomorrow that requires Liu Xin'an to attend, and then there will be a series of activities waiting for him...
I feel that Bae Zhuhyun is right, this is indeed just a warm-up, and there are probably more things waiting for him later.
However, he just felt it was awkward and novel, and was not very resistant.
Worried that Pei Zhuhyun would misunderstand, Liu Xin'an quickly explained to his girlfriend.
"Don't worry about me, I think it's quite interesting. Isn't this how you feel when you are busy?"
Pei Zhuxuan nodded, and then showed a teasing expression: "We are even more exaggerated than this when we are busy."
"Tsk, is it better to be busy or not to be busy?"
"If you choose this way, it's definitely better to be busy."
Pei Zhuxuan spread her hands and waved to Liu Xin'an with a smile: "I'm going back to the company. I have something else to do in the afternoon. Please drive carefully and send me a message when you get home. Do you understand?"
The external work is indeed gone, but this does not mean that all of Bae Zhuhyun's affairs today are over.
How could Liu Xin'an refuse his girlfriend's advice? He nodded in agreement and smiled heartily. His handsome appearance made Pei Zhuxuan very satisfied.
With the instructions in place, Pei Zhuxuan waved her hand again before getting into her nanny car.
Liu Xin'an also got into his own car and drove out of the MBC parking lot with Bae Zhuhyun's nanny car.
Today's interview seemed to have officially kicked off a promotion for him and Pei Zhuhyun. The next day, Liu Xin'an also got up early and went to a meeting that he didn't understand at all according to the address provided by Dai Zhiyuan.
His appearance did not have any help or effect on the meeting. He only participated to show his face.
However...there are no shortage of relevant reports.
...
"Don't we need to cooperate with you to do something? Chief."
Cheng Taiqian looked at Chief Jin and asked.
"No, we can prepare step by step for our return. The initial publicity work will focus more on Liu Xin'an. As for Irene, we will not officially start until she returns."
Director Jin took a sip of coffee and replied.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Taiqian: "Ask Irene how the plan she prepared is going."
"good."
Cheng Taiqian responded and left the office.
At the same time, Bae Zhuhyun was scrolling through the phone screen. After finding her boyfriend in the group photo, she quickly enlarged the photo and showed a satisfied expression.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, why should I save this?"
Jin Yelin, who was crossing her legs and holding her hands behind her, glanced at her, and then joked.
"Ah, Jin Yilin, you are getting smaller and smaller."
"Brother Xin'an said that he doesn't like the ideas of our country's predecessors. What you are doing now, Unnie, is doing what Brother Xin'an hates the most!"
Regardless of whether you are big or small, who can compare to Jin Yelin?
She shouted without any guilt, and then when she saw Pei Zhuxuan walking towards her, she quickly got up and ran to the door on both hands and feet, with a cautious look on her face.
"You're kidding, Sister Zhuhyun~"
This long-sounding act of coquettishness made Pei Zhuxuan's body goosebumps. She snorted coldly and did not continue to care.
Liu Xin'an doesn't like this, but Liu Xin'an is not here now!
