"Could Mr. Manager please step outside? I want to have a private chat with the two members of Red Velvet."
"Alright, I won’t disturb you."
After sending Seong Taekyon out as well, Li Chenglu visibly relaxed, and the first thing she did...
"Ah~ I’m so tired. Finally got through that."
She took off her glasses and lazily spoke, that instant making Bae Juhyun finally feel a sense of familiarity.
"This is the Chenglu I know. What was that back there?"
"Work mode. You have to be serious when working... I don’t have much time. I need to get busy soon. How have you been with Liu Xin’an lately? No arguments, right?"
"Hm, not at all. Why do you ask all of a sudden?"
"He said you two now only meet once every three days, why?"
Besides her favorite artists, what concerned Li Chenglu most was the relationship between Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun.
Due to her work, she was always traveling between countries. Just a few days of rest, and then she had to take over the project involving the cooperation between Bilibili and the three major agencies...
The pay was indeed substantial, but the exhaustion was real.
Today was just the first agency, having dinner and resting for a day, but tomorrow she had to deal with the second, third, and even fourth agencies...
Just thinking about it made Li Chenglu feel like she would lose hair.
"Ah... because I’m preparing a new album, I’m busier than usual, so we meet less frequently. But Xin’an and I are doing great, no need to worry."
"That’s good, as long as you two are fine. I’ll take my leave then."
Li Chenglu nodded, smiled, and hugged the "idol" she hadn’t seen in days. When Bae Juhyun hugged back, Chenglu shyly approached Son Seungwan, taking out a notebook.
Then, she looked at the dazed woman in front of her with pity.
"Wendy, can I have your autograph?"
Son Seungwan nodded quickly, smiling in agreement.
After Li Chenglu left in her high heels, Son Seungwan turned to Bae Juhyun with a dreamy look and patted her shoulder.
"So cool, Xin’an’s childhood friend."
"So... what was the meeting about? I didn’t catch any of it."
"It doesn’t really concern us much. They just mentioned that I’ll be going, but the exact time hasn’t been set yet. We’ll be informed later."
Both sides’ leaders were being evasive. By the end, Son Seungwan had zoned out.
Anyway, as small artists, their job was to work when given work and wait at home when not.
"Uh... good thing I blanked out from the start."
"Ah~ I’m so jealous of you."
Liu Xin’an had no idea that Li Chenglu had already come to Korea.
Of course, even if he knew, he would probably pretend not to.
There were more important things waiting for him; he didn’t have time to deal with Chenglu.
However, Bae Juhyun did tell him about it in the evening.
"Chenglu went to your company?" Liu Xin’an was holding the mouse, with various materials listed on the computer screen.
He was editing and stitching together the handcrafting process he recorded in the past few days.
After all, it was for a video to be uploaded online, so careful editing was necessary.
There was a lot of material, adding up to dozens of hours. It wasn’t easy to edit it down precisely.
Moreover, he hadn’t decided whether to film Bae Juhyun’s reaction yet.
How to say, in videos surprising a girlfriend, her reaction was very important.
But Bae Juhyun couldn’t be on camera.
He couldn’t exactly let Bae Juhyun wear a TV-head helmet to accept his gift, could he?
That would be too weird!
"Yeah, it seems to be about your website’s program. It seems certain that Seungwan will be going... "
Bae Juhyun relayed this information to her boyfriend. After listening, Liu Xin’an nodded thoughtfully.
Once the artists were all invited and contracts signed, it would likely come down to the competition for hosts.
Recently, he had discreetly asked the operations and Mu Shang. The operations guy was from Bilibili, and Mu Shang often collaborated with them too.
They both gave surprisingly consistent answers. His chances were high, and barring any surprises, it would be him.
This was good news, but since the task might eventually fall to him, it meant he had to show the required ability.
Seems like... he would have to accept his uncle’s deal.
After finishing preparing Bae Juhyun’s gift, it was time for him to focus on himself.
Ah! There was no rush now. He would deal with the 100-day anniversary and Bae Juhyun’s birthday first.
"Alright, by the way, what time will you be coming tomorrow? You’re off, right? Coming early?"
"Uh... I’ll probably get there before noon, around eleven?"
The conversation gradually shifted to their meetup the next day.
Their voices naturally softened. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel_fіre.net
"Okay, see you then. I have some work to do."
"Alright~ I have to get busy too."
After the brief exchange, both hung up their phones with smiles on their faces.
They each patted their faces, trying not to think about each other.
They had their tasks to complete. Tomorrow’s matters could be dealt with then.
Liu Xin’an quickly got absorbed in video editing.
However, Bae Juhyun found it more challenging to focus.
Because when she turned around, she saw four little heads quickly retracting from the practice room door.
Fully understanding the situation, Bae Juhyun’s face turned red.
No one knew if it was from embarrassment or anger.
