Meeting room, a business hotel in Burbank, California.

There were several unknown devices on the table in the conference room, as well as a laptop with no factory logo or model, and Phoebe was tapping intently on the keyboard, and near the door of the conference room were two women with the distinctive logos of Titan employees, one with black logos and the other with purple ones.

Phoebe, who was fiddling with the computer, suddenly stopped, took out her phone and looked at the monitor, then put it to her ear to answer the call and asked, "Barbara, what's wrong?" ”

"Phoebe, you have to cheer up Hyo-yeon, she's been frustrated, especially when you didn't accompany her to make her feel unappreciated." Barbara's voice came from the other end of the line.

Phoebe wondered, "You should know that even if I want to go now, it's too late, right?" ”

"Hehehe, of course." Barbara laughed and said, "In this way, I will give Xiaoyuan the phone, you can say a few words to her, in fact, I advised you to comfort her last night." Hyoyeon, answer the phone. ”

Soon there was silence on the other side of the phone, and Phoebe heard the sound of sobbing breathing coming from the microphone, so she said in Korean, "Sister Hyoyeon, I'm Phoebe." ”

There was silence for a while, and then Xiaoyuan's voice came: "Hmm......"

"Sister Xiaoyuan, I thought you listened to everything I said when I was in the dormitory......"

Hyo-yeon interrupted Phoebe and asked, "Phoebe...... Don't you like me? ”

"Huh? No, I like my sisters. Phoebe suddenly felt that Hyo-yeon's thoughts were a little strange.

"Then why are you busy with yourself and ignoring me after you arrive in the United States? Xiujing: You have always been with you when they came. Hyo-yuan complained.

"But that's ......," Phoebe suddenly felt that Xiaoyuan's logic was too problematic.

First of all, when Xiujing and the three of them came to Boston with her, they actually accompanied themselves.

Secondly, Phoebe herself said several times that she didn't need to be accompanied, and the sisters had to arrange for Xiujing to be accompanied by the three of them.

Thirdly, when she first arrived in Boston for a few days to run errands, Phoebe often left them at home, or arranged for them to find a place to visit by herself, and did not let them accompany them the whole time.

In the end, it has been almost two months since Xiujing and the three of them accompanied her, and Xiao Yuan only remembered to say at this time, isn't it...... At least in Phoebe's memory, Hyo-won is not the kind of person who will put things off for a long time before talking about them, on the contrary, she is the kind of person who has no overnight feud with people.

Phoebe suddenly thought that it was probably other reasons that caused Xiao Yuan's judgment of reality to be unbalanced, and Phoebe thought back to some of the Xiao Yuan in her memory, and she felt that it was probably Xiao Yuan's poor ability to adapt to environmental changes that caused this cognitive bias to occur......

In Phoebe's memory, Xiaoyuan was arranged to go to school in Beijing when she was a child, but now that she thinks about it, judging from Xiaoyuan's level of Chinese mastery, she actually did not adapt to life in China at all, in other words, Phoebe found the source of Xiaoyuan's fear.

For Xiao Yuan, he suddenly arrived in the United States, where he was unfamiliar with his life, and there were no familiar companions around, so that Xiao Yuan's memory of not being able to integrate into China's study life when he was a child was awakened, although I don't know what the reason and goal of arranging Xiao Yuan to study in China for a year was, but now it seems that it is clear that the purpose of the original arrangement has not been achieved.

That experience may have left an indelible wound on Hyoyeon, maybe she was blamed, maybe it was other emotional trauma, but Hyoyeon rarely mentioned the experience at that time, and she usually disguised it well, which made Phoebe, who could find Taeyeon's abnormality, not find what Hyoyeon was hiding in the depths of her heart.

So from this point of view, what Xiao Yuan said is right, Phoebe doesn't pay attention to Xiao Yuan too much.

Thinking of this, Phoebe humbly admitted her mistake: "Sister Xiaoyuan, I apologize, I really didn't pay as much attention to you as I did to others, it's my fault." ”

"Huh?" When Xiao Yuan heard Phoebe say this, he cried again: "Phoebe, I didn't mean that, in fact, you pay more attention to me than anyone else, only you always find time to practice dance with me, and also accompany me to learn dances that have nothing to do with the group performance, and encourage me to choreograph my own dance, you are so busy studying, and you are the first to find time to learn a newly choreographed dance from me, and the first to dance this dance on the encore stage......"

"Stop!" Before Xiao Yuan finished speaking, suddenly Barbara's voice came from the phone again, obviously she snatched Xiao Yuan's mobile phone, "Phoebe, now the time is urgent, give you 5 minutes, you pacify Xiao Yuan, Martha and I got off first." ”

Soon, Phoebe heard Barbara's voice urging people to get out of the car from the microphone, and after the door closing, Phoebe said, "Sister Xiaoyuan? ”

"Uh...... What was I talking about? Xiao Yuan's tone was panicked, obviously Barbara's actions just now made her a little scared, after all, she knew that Barbara's identity was a representative of Universal Music, and her appearance was likely to leave a very bad impression on Barbara.

But Phoebe understands that although Barbara doesn't know Korean, for a Harvard graduate and a person working in the field of intelligence and diplomacy, anthropology and psychology are actually compulsory subjects, so Barbara probably found out from Hyoyeon's tone and tone that Hyoyeon wanted to confide in Phoebe.

Barbara knew what her real mission was, and she also knew what height Phoebe had risen to now, so she wouldn't watch the past of the members of Phoebe's group in front of Phoebe, lest there be an estrangement with Phoebe, which would likely cause immeasurable losses to her, so she simply pulled Martha out of the car and left the space for Phoebe and Hyoyuan.

Phoebe knew that Barbara had left the space for herself and Xiao Yuan, so she didn't have any special thoughts in her heart, and she didn't think about dismissing the two earthieat nine female guards on her side at all, and continued into the phone: "You just said that I value you more than anyone else. ”

"Yes, that's it. Phoebe, I'm sorry, you also helped me get this audition opportunity, to be honest, I'm grateful to you, but I'm afraid that I can't do well, I really can't go back to meet people, especially if I don't have the face to see everyone......" Xiaoyuan cried again.

Phoebe still remembered that Barbara said just now that she had 5 minutes, so she interrupted Xiaoyuan's crying and said, "Sister Xiaoyuan, I understand how you feel now, and now it seems that you have never adapted to our current identity, so you will indeed disappoint many people like this." ”

"Huh? Why? "Xiao Yuan was stunned, won't this guy Fei Bi comfort me well!?

"Sister Xiaoyuan, a few days after I first started to study at the martial arts school last year, my sisters told me that idol singers are a profession that requires acting skills, so no matter which development direction you choose, you must have practiced your acting skills and always perform your role in front of the public. Do you remember? ”

"Well, that's true...... At that time, it wasn't because you paid too much attention to the martial arts action itself, and ignored the acting skills...... "Xiaoyuan didn't know what Fei Biti was doing."

"Sister Xiaoyuan, I just want to remind you that in fact, from the moment you boarded the plane to the United States, your former role was given a new interpretation, and you were the first member of Girls' Generation to audition for Hollywood, so when you were on the plane, I think your expression is actually quite good, and you interpret that kind of nervous love very well."

"Uh...... Actually, that's my real reaction, and there is no camera, what am I performing!? "Xiaoyuan's love is much better, after all, he was praised by the recognized genius Phoebe.

"Idol singer is a role that needs to be played all year round, even if there is no camera, you must understand and perform this role well, which was originally what you said." Phoebe wants to guide Hyoyeon so that she thinks she is not being ignored.

Sure enough, Xiaoyuan's tone was much more rebellious: "Okay......"

Phoebe said: "But in addition to playing their own roles, idol singers can't mentally mix themselves with the roles they play, which is also what you said." ”

"Well, Phoebe...... What the hell are you going to say? "Hyo-yeon is depressed, Phoebe is the same as Seo Hyun, many times when she tells you something, they will say it very troublesomely.

"What I want to say is, Sister Xiaoyuan, you should know by now that the role you play has to face an interview, that's all, you shouldn't have any pressure on yourself, and I said this role when I was in Korea, it's very suitable for your love at this time, are you too involved in directing yourself into the play too deeply?" Phoebe continued to guide skillfully.

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, and said: "You did say it in the dormitory, by the way, at that time, An also said that this can almost make me perform in my true colors, and I don't need too many acting skills......"

Phoebe said: "That's right, it's just that I maintain such a somewhat apprehensive mentality, sister, you go to the audition first, and we'll talk about anything when we come back." Barbara: That's just rushing. ”

Xiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Phoebe, I know." By the way, did my table leave a bad impression on Barbara? Will it affect our signing with Universal? ”

"No, just now Barbara said that you were a little excited, let me, a member of the same group, cheer you up." Phoebe translated Barbara's words in a benign way.

"Oh, actually, I think this Barbara is really good-looking, blonde and blue-eyed, how about I say I will dye my hair blonde when I turn around?" As soon as Xiaoyuan's mood was good, his thinking immediately began to jump out again.

"Sister, you're about to audition now, I think you should think about this first, and just like we analyzed when we were in Korea, this is a role that is not even a supporting role, it's just a small request from the partner, sister, you can even think now that your audition has passed, this time it's just a formality."

Hearing Phoebe say this, Xiao Yuan became a little dissatisfied again: "It's as if I don't have any diǎn ability......"

Phoebe had to say: "Sister Xiaoyuan, I'm just comforting you, you also know that Universal Music is responsible for the distribution of Disney Music in Asia, so it wouldn't be strange if they made such a request to Disney." ”

"Didn't you give the bracelet watch to Universal Music?" Hyo-yeon asked again.

"That's true, because there is an agreement, so the bracelet watch is still endorsed by us, so Universal Music will naturally strike while the iron is hot, hoping to promote us through a Hollywood movie, and you will be a diǎn - of course, these are my speculations."

"Ah, I don't know...... Xiao Yuan sighed first, these things Phoebe said made her instinctively feel a little repulsed, she is a dancer who practices dance desperately, she doesn't like these things like the exchange of interests, she always feels that if she does her own thing, others will always find their own shining place.

Phoebe understands that there are indeed people in the group who still have such unrealistic illusions, even her sun sister used to be like this, which is why Phoebe is desperately developing Titan, the exchange of interests, she will help her sisters do a good job, and the sisters just need to work hard and succeed according to the initial idea.

Although I don't like it, Xiao Yuan, who is in the class where interests can be exchanged, still knows what Diǎn is, so he said: "Phoebe, thank you, I'm much better now after talking to you, cheer me on, I'm going to audition!" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Phoebe used an N as a farewell to the call, but she immediately noticed that the love between her two female guards suddenly became nervous, and she found that both of them had put their hands into their clothes to get guns, and looked vigilant, and couldn't help but say to the two female guards: "Hillie, Ellie, the alarm is lifted, just now I was cheering others up and saying come on, well, when the Koreans say come on, they mean fighting." ”

The two female guards were stunned for a moment, then relaxed, and Hillie also joked: "Koreans must be very good at fighting." ”

Phoebe shrugged and said, "This is true in some cases, such as stalking......"

Elle couldn't help but glance at Hilly, then at Phoebe and said, "Your Highness, it's not good to refuse the request of the Koreans, after all, you are still in your girlhood." ”

Phoebe smiled and said, "Ellie, I know what you're worried about, thank you for thinking about me." But you don't understand Koreans, and the more you satisfy them, the more they feel that you owe them, and on the contrary, not giving them what they want from the beginning is the best way to deal with Koreans. ”

"To be honest, I don't believe much in the new Christian countries, their leadership is still paternalistic, and if you don't agree with them, they have a way to make trouble for you." ”

Phoebe shook her head and said, "That's why I asked Enceladus to buy those imported beef, which is a good explanation for them, isn't it?" ”

Elle and Hilly glanced at each other and diǎn diǎn head......
