"Hello, Ms. Bae Joo-hyun, my children have always liked Red Velvet, can you give me an autograph if you can?"

"Ahh Absolutely, it's our pleasure. ”

After signing her name on this handkerchief seriously and neatly, Bae Joo-hyun sent off the visitor with a commercial smile, and then looked at Dai Zhiyuan who was standing beside her.

Dai Zhiyuan skillfully reported the identity of the other party.

"This is Ha Yun-so, the education supervisor of Busan Metropolitan City, and the one in front of him is the mayor of Busan, Park Hyung-jun."

Bae Joo-hyun's face is expressionless, it's not that she has a big heart, but... Numb.

It's numb.

These big names that they couldn't get in touch with in the performing arts appeared in front of them one after another, and always maintained a close attitude, which was something that Bae Joo-hyun and others couldn't think of.

But this kind of thing happened in front of them at this time.

"Ahh Ms. Bae Joo-hyun, it's been a long time. ”

The person who came to visit this time, Bae Joo-hyun recognized it.

"Hello Mayor Quan!"

Bae Joo-hyun looked at the man in front of him in surprise and hurriedly said hello.

The person in front of her is actually the mayor of Daegu, her hometown.

As a celebrity in Daegu, she has met the mayor at some events.

It's just that it used to be a one-sided relationship, at most a handshake, and a cordial conversation like now, it was the first time that she debuted for so long.

"It is indeed an honor for us in Daegu to have such a wonderful celebrity as Ms. Bae Joo-hyun."

"No, no, no, we have to thank the mayor for his hard work, and Daegu will definitely get better and better under the leadership of Mr. Mayor."

"Hahaha, that's really borrowing your auspicious words, I don't know if you are free for the next period of time, there are still vacancies in the position of our cultural spokesperson in Daegu..."

"Huh? This... I can't call the shots, I still need to listen to the company's arrangements for specific things. ”

Bae Joo-hyun hurriedly waved his hand and moved the company out to talk about things.

"In this case, it seems that I have time to call S-M and have a good chat with Chairman Lee Sung-joo."

"Uh..." Bae Joo-hyun didn't know what to reply, so she had to curl the corners of her lips and show a helpless smile.

There are not a few people like Mayor Kwon who have shown favor like this.

As Cheng Taiqian said, those who can be invited to this banquet are smart people.

After seeing Zhang Jirong and Dai Zhiyuan show their friendship like this, these visitors, who were also invited, instantly understood the energy behind this beautiful Ms. Bae Joo-hyun.

Of course, they don't know much about the specific situation, but it is undeniable that it is definitely good for them to show favor first and get acquainted with each other.

And they don't need to do anything, some things that are extremely beneficial to Bae Joo-hyun are just their words.

After dealing with a group of big people who came over to take the initiative to show goodwill, Bae Zhuhyun took Liu Xin'an's arm, and after confirming that there would not be many people still staring at them, he carefully put his head against Liu Xin'an's back to calm his nervous mood.

Liu Xin'an squeezed Pei Zhuhyun's little hand a little apologetically, and then leaned into the other party's ear and whispered.

"It's a lot of pressure, I'm sorry, Joo-hyun."

His voice was low, and the breath that came out of his mouth in between conversations stained her delicate earlobes red.

Bae Joo-hyun, who was leaning on his back, shook his head and whispered in a very affectionate voice: "We should thank you, you don't need to apologize." ”

“... Doesn't that make you feel embarrassed by the accolades you get this way? ”

Bae Zhuhyun was stunned for a moment, then straightened up funny, and raised his eyes to look at Liu Xin'an with a worried face.

"Ah, what kind of newcomer am I? Why do you shout every day that you want to reach the top with your own strength? ”

"Uh..."

"To be able to be so active after so many years of debut, this is already a very successful thing for us, and if it weren't for you, we might just be the tail of the crane of the three major girl groups for the rest of our lives, so you don't need to blame yourself."

Bae Joo-hyun is very aware of the situation she is in at this time, and as she said, if it weren't for Liu Xin'an, their return this time would probably only be tepid.

Maybe next year's efforts will make their achievements reach new highs, but in the end, it will not be possible to reach the height they once aspired to.

But his appearance rewrote all this.

The originally scheduled low-key return has completely turned into a fiery explosion, so next year... Maybe it's the year of Red Velvet?

No one can say for sure, but at least... It's always a lot more real than the ethereal feeling it once had.

All of this is due to her acquaintance with the man in front of her.

Bae Joo-hyun doesn't know how many times she was glad that she chose to go back to her home that day instead of continuing to feel sorry for herself in the dormitory.

If you don't have this decision, this excellent guy in front of you may not know who will be cheaper!

Just thinking about this possibility, Miss Pei, who was originally sweet in her heart, was uncontrollably sour, she hugged Liu Xin'an's arm in her arms, and the cold and pretty face that was already full of oppression when she was expressionless was even more indifferent.

And Pei Zhuhyun, who has done enough of this noble gesture, surprised Jiang Shiqi and others on the side.

This sister... It can be said that the oath of sovereignty has been brought into full play.

But...

"It's said that it's a fiancée, Sister Zhuhyun, who are you guarding against?"

Sun Sheng joked out loud with a good smile, there shouldn't be any people who don't have long eyes and blatantly come to talk to Liu Xin'an under this premise.

And is this sister underestimating her appearance too much?

At this banquet, not counting the four of them, who else can compare with Bae Joo-hyun in terms of appearance?

This is not pride, but the truth through and through!

But then, a scene that made Sun Shengwan's blood pressure rise appeared.

Originally, she would always smile at her dotingly, but her closest sister Bae Joo-hyun actually looked at her vigilantly.

Then under her speechless gaze, Bae Joo-hyun raised the corners of her mouth and said cautiously but with a smile: "Prevent you." ”

"Yikes!

Bae Joo-hyun! ”

Of course, this is just Bae Joo-hyun joking, Sun Shengwan also understands this, but being so guarded by such a close sister, she still feels wronged from the bottom of her heart.

As for the way she vented her grievances...

Liu Xinan looked helplessly at Sun Shengwan, who was glaring at him.

He was also wronged, he didn't do anything.

"I didn't do anything."

"Your existence is a mistake!"

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing such an interesting fight between the object of his favorite and his sister who was close to him, Bae Joo-hyun was only happy and happy in his heart at this time.

...

The dinner came to an end, the visitors left the venue in an orderly manner, and Pei Zhuhyun and others officially walked out of the Consulate General after saying politely goodbye to Dai Zhiyuan and Zhang Jirong.

"Tomorrow there will be a mess on the Internet... Because of us. ”

Walking out of the venue, feeling the slightly cold autumn breeze outside, Jiang Shiqi suddenly came out with such a sentence, which successfully made Pei Zhuhyun and others look at her.

Jiang Shiqi, who was looked at like this, did not panic, she looked at Pei Zhuxun and squeezed her eyebrows excitedly.

"Compared to that, I have more headaches now, how to tell Brother Tai Qian about what happened just now."

The younger sisters are very excited, but for Bae Joo-hyun, the real center of public opinion, she still has a headache.

What happened tonight was really beyond their expectations, especially Bae Joo-hyun.

It doesn't matter that she became Liu Xin'an's fiancée inexplicably, and the successive overtures of those big names made her unable to believe what happened tonight.

She pointed at herself, with a strange expression: "I'm inexplicable, can I be considered to marry into a wealthy family?" ”

"Roar! Sister Joohyun, when did you become Liu Xin'an's fiancée, and he proposed to you? ”

"No... But Shin'an should have his own intentions. ”

"Sister Zhuhyun, it's not okay for you to always be self-attacking, it's true that Liu Xin'an has helped us a lot, much, a lot, but helping doesn't mean that you can get such a big thing as a marriage proposal! You say yes, Shiki! ”

Sun Sheng was filled with righteous indignation, and did not forget to ask his good sister for support after speaking.

But Jiang Shiqi did not respond to her, but opened her mind.

"If Sister Zhuhyun marries Liu Xin'an, what should we do?"

“... You're thinking too far, I've only been dating Xin'an for less than a year. ”

"It's only been a year? We all feel like you've been talking for years, ready to talk about marriage. ”

"Is there one?" Bae Joo-hyun asked puzzled.

And the sisters all nodded in unison.

The corners of Bae Joo-hyun's mouth twitched, and during the chat, they had officially walked out of the door of the Consulate General and came to the street outside.

Not far away, Cheng Taiqian had been waiting for them to come out, and after seeing them, Cheng Taiqian hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards a few people.

"Erin, how's it going?"

The appearance of Cheng Tae-qian made the chatting people quiet, and Pei Zhu-hyun looked at Cheng Tae-qian, whose face was full of anxiety, his lips trembled, and he sighed.

"Let's get in the car first, Brother Taiqian."

"Okay."

Bae Joo-hyun's sigh made Sung Tae-hyun's heart half cold, he didn't expect Bae Joo-hyun to expand any contacts in it, as long as he didn't offend people.

After the group returned to the car, Cheng Taiqian took a deep breath and looked puzzled: "What about Xin'an?" Didn't I come out with you? ”

Several people looked at each other, and finally Bae Joo-hyun spoke: "Xin'an's words continue to stay in the guest house at night, he still has something to do tomorrow, won't we have to fly back in a while." ”

"Well... So, how was this banquet? ”

"Uh... How to say that. ”

Bae Joo-hyun's head started to grow, and she really didn't know how to explain what happened at the banquet to Sung Tae-geon.

Fortunately, the parties had a headache, and the other bystanders always looked like they were watching the show.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, to put it simply... We're red velvet, maybe it's time to take off. ”

“... Takeoff? ”

This is a word that Cheng Taiqian can't quite understand, he continued to ask Sun Shengwan, while Jiang Shiqi took his mobile phone and came to Pei Zhuhyun's side.

"Sister Zhuhyun, what kind of company is that Uncle Zhang?"

"Hmm, I want to think about it... Datai Goryeo? ”

"Reach... Great... Oh! Pregnant! "Don't look at the search king in the team is Sun Shengwan, she Jiang Shiqi's use of the Internet is not weaker than Sun Shengwan!

Soon, under her neat movements, the information of Datai Goryeo appeared in front of the two.

Then, she and Bae Joo-hyun, who came over to see the information, were both sluggish.

At the same time, Cheng Taiqian was also actively asking Sun Shengwan for more details of the banquet.

"Liu Xin'an has a very powerful uncle?"

"Yes, it seems that the person in charge of Datai Goryeo should be a very powerful company."

"Reach... Datai?! ”

Cheng Taiqian couldn't hide the shock in his heart at all, and shouted out with a "whoosh".

Compared with Pei Zhuyun and them, who don't know anything about these aspects, Sung Tae-qian still has done a lot of homework in this regard.

Although Datai Goryeo is not as familiar with the local industry as they are familiar with, he still knows that it has a good cooperative relationship with Samsung.

And the uncle of one of the general heads ...

Converted to their country, this is no longer something that can be summed up by a sentence of "chaebol II".

“... Erin, did you and Liu Xin'an really only know each other because they lived next door? ”

Bae Joo-hyun quickly came out of the shock, there were so many things that shocked her that what happened in front of her tonight, she was almost numb now.

Facing Cheng Taiqian's question, Pei Zhuhyun nodded his head, and then a question mark also rose in his heart.

Seriously, she herself began to wonder how such a powerful man could be so easily attacked by her... Just take it?

———

Liu Xin'an is still a little well-known among young people, and after the formal banquet, Liu Xin'an was pulled by Dai Zhiyuan to meet with his friend, that is, the staff of the Consulate General.

After that, he returned to the room of the guest house, and Dai Zhiyuan also gossiped over.

"When are you going to make it public?"

The configuration of the guest house... It's just an ordinary room.

Dai Zhiyuan pulled a chair, sat in front of Liu Xin'an, and asked gossip.

"Me and Joo-hyun?"

"Yes, we must be prepared to cooperate with you if you make it public, otherwise even if your aunt is from this side, you are half of this person, but with the exclusion of Koreans... I guess there are still a group of people scolding you and Erin. ”

In terms of small family spirit, it is estimated that no Chinese can compare with the Koreans, and Dai Zhiyuan, who works here, has a lot of say in this.

But in fact, it is similar in China, if a popular female artist suddenly gets together with a Korean, it is estimated that there are many trolls in China who will pick up the keyboard "justly"...

"How are you going to work with the two of us?"

"Give Sister Erin a little more official resources, and at the same time cooperate with the S-M company to suppress public opinion and heat, bring public opinion to the side of support and reconciliation, and release a few more powerful endorsements, such as Samsung, tourism image endorsements in some regions."

One by one, exaggerated statements came out of Dai Zhiyuan's mouth without thinking, and Liu Xin'an was stunned when he heard it.

He was stunned for a while, and then asked suspiciously: "This kind of thing, can Zhu Hyun really get it?" ”

"It's not a big problem, isn't that mayor already throwing an olive branch, and there are many similar ones... Isn't Mr. Zhang what he means? ”

Dai Zhiyuan didn't think this was a difficult matter, with the relationship between Datai and Samsung, the director of Samsung surnamed Li must be willing to sell such a face.

As a "national" enterprise that is regarded as the pride of the nation by all Koreans, Samsung's influence here is self-evident.

And whether he can become the spokesperson of Samsung products is also a symbol of an artist's worth.

After Dai Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xinan funny: "Brother Anzi, are you really the son of the senior management of Datai?" How do you feel like you don't have any concept at all? ”

"Nonsense, I haven't been exposed to these at all, and my dad never brings work things to the house, the first time I saw Uncle Zhang, I thought Uncle Zhang was some kind of burglar, and I almost called the police."

“... Mr. Zhang? ”

"Yes."

"Awesome."

Liu Xinan shook his head with a smile, sat cross-legged on the bed, and seriously thought about the question that Dai Zhiyuan asked just now.

"If you say it openly... I'm going to listen to Joo-hyun's arrangement, she means October, and when they return to the end, I'll take the time to tell the fans about it. ”

"October..."

"What's wrong with October?"

"It's okay, I'll just think about if there's anything big going on in October."

"Is there one?"

"Uh... There must be, but it's none of your business, it's..."

"Stop! I'm not curious. ”

Dai Zhiyuan, who was stopped, spread his hands innocently, and then continued to wait for Liu Xin'an's answer.

"What do you think of the October release?"

"It's good, it must be a good conversation for fans after dinner."

"I personally definitely don't care, you're also a water friend, you definitely don't care who I'm with, right?"

"Well, if you're with some strange woman, even if it's a water friend, you'll lose your powder." Dai Zhiyuan replied seriously, and then he added kindly, "Don't worry, I won't step back." ”

"I should thank you, right?"

"You're welcome!"

"The main concern is the reaction of the fans on Joohyun's side... This time, just by hyping up the heat, there are already many fans of Joo-hyun who have begun to oppose this matter. ”

This is where Liu Xin'an is really worried.

From the beginning of S-M's hype, some fans expressed strong dissatisfaction on Bae Joo-hyun's personal fan station.

Of course, compared to those who support and are happy, these can only be said to be a small part.

But... People tend to read comments that criticize them.

As an anchor, Liu Xinan can find a bad comment from the barrage of praise on the screen.

And then I felt bad for a few days because of this bad comment.

This time it's the same.

"Ah~ When I think that Joo Hyun will face the scolding of countless fans at that time, my head is big."

Liu Xinan rubbed the corners of his eyes irritably and whispered.

"Take it easy, since my sister-in-law can make this decision, it means that she has her own preparations, and you have to give your sister-in-law a little confidence, right?"

Liu Xin'an nodded, of course he knew this truth, so he had never poured cold water on Pei Zhuhyun.

But...

He trusts Bae Joo-hyun, and there is no conflict with him feeling sorry for Bae Joo-hyun.

He just doesn't want to see his girlfriend cursed by fans.
