"It seems that we have a suitable candidate, but please consider the price. The funds granted to us by the company this time are not as sufficient as everyone imagined."
Li Yanzhu naturally didn't know the existence of Li Chenglu, so she was frightened by Pei Zhuxuan's confident smile.
"Don't worry, it will be within a reasonable range, but I don't know if they are free yet."
Hearing what Pei Zhuxuan said, Li Yanzhu hesitated slightly. She pursed her lips, thought about it, and asked softly.
"Could it be Mr. Liu Xin'an?"
It was natural for her to think of Liu Xin'an. Who else could accept the translation job at a cheap price besides "family member" Liu Xin'an?
"No, it's someone else. Don't worry, it's an amateur who can appear on camera."
“And it’s super pretty.”
"Yes, I'm just too tall, which makes me feel oppressive."
Sun Shengwan said with resentment that she and Li Chenglu chatted more in private, mainly because as a multi-lingual speaker, she had a great time chatting with Li Chenglu, who was a simultaneous interpreter.
"It seems that he is a friend that everyone is familiar with. It would be better if he could be invited."
"Well...we've almost decided where to go."
Pei Zhuhyun listened to the members' discussion, then raised her hand to signal to the program team.
"Which two?"
Pei Zhuxuan looked back at the members and asked for everyone's agreement: "Let's talk together?"
"Um."
"1...2...3..."
“Chengdu and Xiamen!”
"In Chengdu, I mainly want to see giant pandas. In Xiamen, I want to go to the beach."
Son Seung-wan gave a more detailed explanation, not mentioning Chengdu, which is a place where all members want to go.
As for Xiamen... I was mainly attracted by the pictures retrieved by Sun Shengwan.
Everyone likes this kind of beautiful island, well... But the only one who feels a little aggrieved is Park Soo-young. As a native of Jeju Island, she was originally born on the island...
Going to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen means that I am going from my home island to another island in another country.
What a difference!
But it's a pity that her voice is too small alone, and Gulangyu Island is not the only place in Xiamen.
She was convinced.
"Ah...are you sure?"
"Inside!"
Li Yanzhu nodded and pretended to think a little, but in fact she was listening to Liu Xin'an's voice in the earphones.
Chengdu has always been in the plan of the program team. After all, no one can resist the charm of pandas! No one!
(Author’s personal opinion)
But this Xiamen...
She had no right to speak as she had not investigated, so she felt that she had to listen to Liu Xin'an's opinion.
Because she had already made up a secret code with Liu Xin'an before, as long as she lifted her hair, she wanted to get Liu Xin'an's advice, so when she lifted her hair, Liu Xin'an had already given her own answer.
"Okay, Xiamen is very good."
The voice in the earphones was conveyed, and Li Yanzhu didn't hesitate anymore. She nodded, and just as she was about to speak, Sun Shengwan, who had been observing her from the side, suddenly spoke.
"PD is so weird, as if it's waiting for something."
"Oh? It does sound a bit like that. He's also wearing headphones."
Li Yanzhu was shocked. Liu Xin'an next door also held his breath. Then, he reacted quickly and directly changed the phone to silent. Before changing it, he specifically said to Li Yanzhu. And Li Yanzhu, who heard Liu Xin'an's voice, also understood it.
He took off his headphones.
"I didn't listen to anything. I was just thinking about whether Xiamen is an option."
"So has PD got the answer now?"
"I'll tentatively decide on Xiamen and Chengdu first, that's all."
Li Yanzhu put on the earphones again, and then Liu Xin'an's voice of relief sounded in her ears.
"Is Shengwan so observant?"
Li Yanzhu didn't say anything, but continued to communicate with Bae Zhuxuan and others: "What kind of style do you want our group to conduct this time?"
"rest!"
"travel!"
"Whatever makes you feel comfortable!"
"No tasks, just travel!"
Everyone's quick answers made Li Yanzhu very helpless. This was obviously impossible.
Even for the sake of the fun of the show, they are bound to give Bae Joo Hyun and the others some stumbling blocks.
"This is unrealistic."
"If possible, we would like to have close contact with pandas."
They are probably "of the same kind". Jiang Seulgi, who has always been nicknamed "Silly Bear Seulgi" by fans, is the most curious about pandas among the five. If possible, as long as she can touch them up close during this trip to China.
...No! She was satisfied to have a close look.
"This... you have to discuss it with the park in advance. We have done research. If you want to touch the pandas like a breeder, you need a lot of preparation in advance. Please don't have too high expectations."
"It doesn't matter, I'm very satisfied if we can take a photo together." Jiang Seulgi showed an expectant expression.
"I probably understand everyone's demands. We will try our best to come up with a plan that satisfies the members. We also hope that the members can leave happy memories in China."
"...You won't let us do things like feed crocodiles and take photos with lions, right?"
"Ah!
Don't say it!" Jin Yelin reflexively imagined that scene in her mind, and then she got goosebumps all over her body, and she quickly reached out to cover Jiang Seulqi's mouth.
"Is there anything you want to do in Xiamen?" The thing she wants to do most in Chengdu is to see giant pandas. As for what she wants to do in Xiamen, Li Yanzhu has to ask in advance.
"As for Xiamen...it's by the sea, right?"
"Inside."
"How about singing to fans at the beach? We haven't held a fan meeting in China yet, and we don't have much opportunity to perform in front of Chinese fans. Let's take this opportunity to hold a fan meeting in China!
"
"Oh! This is good."
Bae Zhuhyun had written down what she wanted to do in her memo very early on. It is no exaggeration to say that her main purpose of going to China to record the group song this time was to take this opportunity to meet people from far away in China who have always supported them.
Fans have a good time meeting each other.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the past, due to differences in countries, they could not come here to support themselves.
But this time, fans don’t need to come, they can just go there.
This suggestion also made Li Yanzhu's eyes light up.
It was indeed a pretty reliable proposal, so she didn't hesitate at all. She didn't even give Liu Xin'an on the other side of the phone a chance to speak.
"No problem, fans will be very excited when the time comes."
"Ah~ I'm starting to look forward to it. When will we set off?" Jin Yilin couldn't control her excitement. She took a sip of the coffee in her hand and asked hurriedly.
Li Yanzhu glanced down at the time, thought for a while and then replied: "It will take a while. There are still many documents that need to be applied for and approved. It may not be until June at the earliest."
"Ah~ It's still a long time."
"Okay, today's preparations are almost complete, everyone can leave... Ah, Erin, you have to stay for a while."
Now that we have finished talking about the Tuan Zong affairs, there is still a comprehensive meeting to be held next.
Bae Joo Hyun is very busy this year, and Lee Yeon Joo is in charge of filming Bae Joo Hyun's personal variety show this time.
"I?"
"Yes, there are still some matters concerning you that need to be discussed."
Bae Zhuhyun spread her hands, sat down again, and then waved to the members with a smile.
After all the members left, she looked at Li Yanzhu and asked aloud: "It's already mid-May. If I leave for China in June, will my solo be completed in these days?"
She doesn't mind being busier and harder at work.
But the problem is that this time her solo project is to make delicious food to entertain friends.
The plan was to shoot eight episodes of the show, but...
She didn't think she could master eight programs and eight dishes in just ten days.
"No, we'll record separately. We'll record twice before we leave, and we'll record twice after we come back. The broadcast will have to wait until July anyway, so it's not very urgent."
"twice?"
This number of times made Bae Zhuhyun a little confused.
This was done twice before departure and twice after returning. It was only four times, but the program had to be broadcast for eight episodes.
"I'm sorry to say this, but please allow me to ask, can Irene find eight friends to come and taste the delicious food?"
Hearing Li Yanzhu's answer while suppressing a smile, Bae Zhuhyun immediately broke her guard.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened angrily, with a speechless smile on her face.
"Ah! What are you talking about! Many of my friends!"
Of course Bae Zhu Hyun is not angry. Anyway, this episode will be broadcast by then, and fans also know that she does not have many friends.
The only friends I have are probably all very busy at this time.
"Each episode is about 30 minutes on average. If you ask a friend to come for eight episodes, the portion will be very tight, so it is better to divide it into two episodes with one friend."
This is the real reason why we are friends in two issues. The previous one was more of a joke.
Well...of course, Bae Zhuhyun really doesn't have that many friends.
"That's right, but I really have a lot of friends!"
"Nay, we believe it, so has Eileen decided which friends she will entertain this time?"
Pei Zhuxuan thought for a while and finally showed a mysterious smile.
"I will personally invite you then. The program team will just send me the recording time in advance, preferably one week in advance..."
"Ah, this time next week will be the recording of the first episode. You can start preparing invitations now."
"Ha...really, what kind of delicious food should I make?"
"The food you want to cook will be randomly selected on the day of the shoot."
Lee Yeon-joo's answer made Bae Joo-hyun stunned, and then she showed a doubtful expression about life.
"Mo?"
"I will tell you on the day of recording."
"Moragu! Does this mean I can only study on the same day? This is different from the plan I submitted! I protest!"
Bae Joo Hyun wrote very clearly in her project that this time she will show her "girly" side by making delicious food to entertain friends, instead of improvising and then making poison to kill herself.
friends!
She couldn't care less about losing face, and hurriedly complained: "You all said that I don't have any friends. If you do this, how can I dare to invite friends to taste delicious food!"
"This is something we all decided to modify after unanimous discussion. Variety shows still need to be a little interesting, don't you think?"
"What you call fun is watching me and my friends suffer?!"
"Inside."
This too honest answer made Pei Zhuxuan sit down again helplessly. She showed a hopeless expression and waved her hand.
"Just follow what the show team set, it's really bad, wow!"
Bae Zhuhyun's aggrieved voice also made everyone in the room burst into laughter. Even though this person is 32 years old, sometimes he is so cute that it is hard to resist.
This is also thanks to the fact that the person who has been filming the show for them is a female PD. If it were a man, he might really be spoiled by their various coquettishness and become submissive.
"Then we'll see you next week. I hope you'll be prepared in advance, ah! After you decide who to invite, please inform us in advance."
"We won't notify you. We will invite some powerful friends who will make you feel extremely majestic!"
Bae Zhuhyun stood up angrily, pretending to be fierce with her sweet voice, and then smiled and bowed to Li Yanzhu and others.
"Today was tough."
"Hey, Erin, you've worked hard too. Please take a good rest and work hard when filming~"
"Inside~"
With her soft reply, Bae Joo Hyun officially left the shooting room.
Li Yanzhu breathed a long sigh of relief and looked back at the camera director out of habit: "Is there anything wrong?"
"all the best."
Then, she spoke to Liu Xin'an in the earphone: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Liu Xin'an."
"Um."
"Ah! And if Irene invites you to be a friend who tastes food, please be sure to refuse. After all, your boyfriend is also a friend... Fans definitely don't want to see you appear too much in her personal variety show."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am sensible, just don't worry."
"That's good."
———
When Bae Zhuhyun walked back to their practice room, the members who had been waiting gathered around her.
"How's it going? Is there any deviation from what you expected, Sister Zhuhyun?"
Pei Zhuxuan did not answer immediately. Instead, she walked aside and put down the coffee in her hand. Then she let out a long sigh.
"The deviation is huge. The program team actually decided to tell me the food to be made on the day of recording. It took one morning to make it and then serve it in the afternoon. How is this possible?"
Her speechlessness also caused the members to show mixed expressions.
"Is that really what you said?"
"Hmm...ah~ my head is so big."
"Who would you choose as the first friend you want to entertain?"
Pei Zhuxuan was silent for a few seconds, and then she frowned, very confused.
"Let's think about it slowly when we go back. I don't know who to call."
"Where are the eight friends? Please agree in advance not to call me. I will be very busy then!"
Son Seung-wan raised his hand quite smartly, but Bae Zhu-hyun glared at her angrily. She could refuse, but at least the shooting time should be confirmed first.
Even if she wanted to invite Sun Shengwan, she had to tell him the time first. This guy...
"I won't call you. You are no longer my friend. Let's start now."
"Onie~"
Son Seung-wan was anxious and was joking, but Bae Joo-hyun was easily offended by some jokes.
She didn't want to quarrel with Bae Zhuhyun, especially during the period when Tuan Zhong was recording.
Of course, Bae Zhuhyun would not be angry because of this joke. She stretched out her hand to cooperate with Sun Shengwan's coquettishness and lazily rested her head on Sun Shengwan's shoulder.
"The number of friends invited has been changed from eight to four. It is not enough for eight people."
"Phew, great, now we shouldn't have to be caught to make up the numbers."
"Um!"
Kim Ye-rin's words were unanimously approved by the members, except Bae Joo-hyun who was speechless.
But after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but laugh.
After all, the members complained very well that she really didn't have many friends.
"By the way, Sister Zhuxun, can the translator we need when we go to China really be called Cheng Lu?"
Although no one thought that Li Chenglu would refuse their request, the problem was that as a very powerful simultaneous interpreter, not to mention Li Chenglu's asking price, it was unknown whether she would have time.
It is really difficult to ask Li Chenglu for help in this situation.
"Cheng Lu must be very busy, and as a translator for us, isn't he overqualified?"
"Sister Zhuxuan, your current Chinese proficiency should be able to communicate with Chinese people, and Liu Xin'an should also go with us this time..."
"Brother Xin'an can't appear on the scene."
"Well, that's true."
Pei Zhuxun stood up and settled the matter: "Anyway, I'll ask Cheng Lu first. She told me personally that we must inform her in advance before we decide to go to China. She may want to stay with us the whole time.
Bar."
It’s okay if the sisters don’t understand. Pei Zhuhyun, who will most likely become Li Chenglu’s younger sibling in the future, is very aware of Li Chenglu’s work.
As the trump card of their studio, she will only be allowed to work on some really serious occasions or when a capable translator is needed. Normally...unless she is short of money, she spends most of her time working hard in various countries.
own speaking ability.
Well...it can also be understood as public travel.
It is such an extremely free profession, which makes Bae Zhuhyun feel envious from the bottom of her heart.
"Sister Zhuxuan, when do you plan to ask Cheng Lu?"
"Now."
Pei Zhuxuan took out her mobile phone, but was slightly stunned when she didn't see any message from Liu Xin'an on it.
Generally speaking, if Liu Xin'an starts broadcasting in the afternoon, he will definitely tell him in advance. Why hasn't this person contacted her for a long time?
Pei Zhuhyun, who couldn't figure it out, casually clicked on Liu Xin'an's live broadcast room, but the black screen in the live broadcast room made her inner doubts even more intense.
Just when she was hesitating whether to call Liu Xin'an, Jiang Seqi asked doubtfully.
"Sister Joohyun?"
"Ah! Wait a minute, I'll call Liu Xin'an first."
"Well, okay."
This is quite normal. After all, the work has just ended, and the work this time is closely related to Liu Xinan. Bae Zhuhyun should really tell Liu Xinan about the shooting situation as soon as possible.
"I'll go to the locker room, you guys talk first."
