July 14th

Samseong-dong

Artist's office on the 4th floor of the S.M company headquarters building.

After the summer mini-album book signing, the five members of Red Velvet gathered around and whispered.

Busy Nei Yilin is in charge of controlling the wind, listening to what her sisters say, and secretly observing whether the agent will suddenly appear in front of them.

JOY COULDN'T STAND THE SNEAKY FEELING AND PROPOSED, "THIS WON'T WORK, LET'S GO TO THE PRODUCTION STUDIO AND TALK." ”

They exchanged glances and the members agreed to JOY's proposal.

Third floor

In an inconspicuous production room near the end of the hallway.

It has an area of about 15 square meters and is a single production room.

I don't know where they got the chairs, but the five girls locked the door of the production room, and the five heads were tightly pressed together.

"Ernie, it's been three days, you know the golden seventy-two hours."

Bae Joo-hyun looked at the talking JOY with confused eyes.

What does the topic they just talked about have to do with the golden seventy-two hours?

JOY SIGHED DEEPLY, AND SAID WITH A LOOK OF HATRED: "THE SO-CALLED GOLDEN SEVENTY-TWO HOURS IS ACTUALLY THE GOLDEN RESCUE TIME AFTER A DISASTER. ”

"Ernie is in a similar situation now, President Li Chenghao always has to thank him in time, it's not good if the time drags on."

Wendy understood: "Ernie, Xiurong is right, think about it, this opportunity was fed to you by President Lee Sung-ho, if it were me, I would also thank President Lee Sung-ho for his kindness as soon as possible." ”

Serki also stood on the side of the members and persuaded Bae Joo-hyun: "You can't hesitate anymore now, just invite him to a meal, and nothing uncontrollable will happen." ”

Yilin nodded: "That's it, the emergency situation I encountered in Hanoi before was thanks to President Li Chenghao's help, and President Li Chenghao has helped you three times." ”

Bae Joo-hyun counted silently with her fingers, and asked the members uncertainly: "Three times?" ”

"Well, that guy named SanE did something to you on the stage, and it was President Lee Sun-ho who asked Minister Han Sun-ah to take people away, and this is the first time."

"Then, across the restaurant, it was President Lee Sung-ho who appeared in time and subdued SanE, who was already stunned, and this was the second time."

"Three days ago, President Lee Sung-ho came to the company in person to invite Ernie to participate in TVN's latest variety show, and this is the third time."

Selki, JOY, and Wendy nodded in agreement as they listened to Yilin's explanation.

Yilin's conversation box couldn't be contained at all after it was opened, but like the eldest sister of the group, she said earnestly: "Ernie, is President Li Chenghao an idler?" No, can't TVN invite artists to appear in the new program? Neither is it. ”

"But President Lee Sung-ho went to the company in person for this matter, found President Kim Young-min nim, and also grasped Ernie's itinerary in advance, just because he was worried that the company would refuse the invitation to appear in TVN's program without Ernie's knowledge."

"It's all done here, shouldn't Ernie thank President Lee Sung-ho and repay President Lee Sung-ho well?"

Bae Joo-hyun never said from beginning to end that he would not thank Lee Sung-ho or repay Lee Sung-ho.

It's just that she doesn't know how to thank and how to repay.

The members said very easily, please eat, but the problem is that if you invite to eat, she will have to face Li Chenghao alone.

To be honest, since Lee Sung-ho saved himself in Hanoi, Bae Joo-hyun really didn't have the confidence to face him alone.

In recent days, when I go to bed at night, I always think about what happened in Hanoi that day.

Li Chenghao's face will appear in front of him without warning, and it will always float in his mind.

For a moment, Bae Joo-hyun thought that she was suffering from some trauma syndrome, but she knew that these were all excuses, and she just couldn't forget what Li Chenghao had done to protect herself that day, and she couldn't erase this matter from her heart.

Even when the members were resting, she would take out Li Chenghao's handkerchief while lying on the bed, and hold it up in front of her eyes and look at it stupidly.

"Ernie, if you don't know how to invite, let's talk about the invitation together."

Ernie clicked on the text message box first.

At the urging of the members, Bae Joo-hyun turned out Lee Sung-ho's contact information and opened the SMS dialog box.

Looking up, he glanced at the four people surrounding him from left to right, and Bae Joo-hyun was still hesitating: "Children, let's do it next time, I'm not ready." ”

"Ernie, you don't need to prepare anything, we want to thank President Li Chenghao now, not to assassinate him."

Yilin stuck out her tongue after speaking.

The words are not rough.

They are trying to repay the favor, what is there to prepare.

It's not for Bae Joo-hyun to make a personal promise, it's just for a meal.

JOY HAD A FLASH OF INSPIRATION, STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND AND POINTED TO THE SCREEN OF HIS MOBILE PHONE AND SAID SERIOUSLY: "Ernie, you edit the information like this." ”

"President Lee Sung-ho nim, I'm Bae Joo-hyun from Red Velvet, do you have time tonight? I want to treat President Nim to a meal, and I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank President Nim for taking care of me. ”

Serge waved her hand repeatedly

JOY: No, that's not the case.

"Ernie, you should edit it like this."

"President Lee Sung-ho Nim, I'm Bae Joo-hyun, after thinking about it, I still feel that I should invite President Nim to have a meal, thank President Nim for saving me in Hanoi, because of the etiquette relationship of education in my family, I hope President Nim will not refuse me."

Thumbs up

Several people sighed: "Ah, it is worthy of ACE, there is a level to say this, and if you invite it with the etiquette of family education, President Li Chenghao will not refuse."

Just finished speaking

Yilin suddenly retorted: "It's still not good, haven't you seen President Li Chenghao, he is the kind of character who doesn't care about other people's feelings, as long as he is happy, if he uses the etiquette of family education to morally kidnap him, maybe he will directly ignore the message sent by Ernie." ”

Yilin, who has witnessed Li Chenghao's style, obviously has the right to speak.

She still clearly remembers the scene in the Hanoi restaurant, obviously the restaurant is non-smoking, but Li Chenghao is smoking in the restaurant, and no one dares to say anything about him.

A chaebol like this should hate being threatened or morally kidnapped the most.

Wendy, who had been thinking seriously, clapped her hands violently: "I see." ”

All eyes were on Wendy

Reasonable, Wendy explained: "Isn't it all like this in TV dramas, chaebols like the feeling of being worshipped, they are used to standing on a high place and looking down on others, thinking that they are the ones who understand everything in this world, so they ......"

"So?"

Inexplicable.

Because of Wendy's sudden pause, the atmosphere in the production room became tense.

They didn't dare to come out, just waiting to hear what Wendy would say next.

JOY has an impatient personality, and has no patience to wait for Wendy to brew slowly, urging: "Say, why don't you say it, it's really a desperate person"

Wendy said slowly: "The information can be edited like this, President Lee Sung-ho nim, I'm Bae Joo-hyun, because I have never done a live interactive variety show, I'm worried that there will be a distribution accident." ”

"President Nim is the most professional person, so I want to ask President Nim, I hope President Nim can help me, I don't want to fail, and I don't want to disappoint President Nim."

There was silence

Bae Joo-hyun took the lead and nodded: "It's okay to accept this reason." ”

Wendy came up confidently and added: "I have to add one more thing, in fact, I still have something I want to say to the president nim in person, if you can, we will meet at Hongdae's Shu Kuan hot pot restaurant at seven o'clock in the evening." ”

"Ahh

SELKI, JOY, AND YILIN DON'T UNDERSTAND EITHER.

Yilin even reminded Wendy: "Ernie, what do you say you want to eat, now it's Irene Oni and President Lee Sung-ho eating." ”

"Ah, what do you know, if it's a barbecue, won't there be a waiter next to it, you can't let President Li Chenghao barbecue, and Irene Ernie can't barbecue."

"Also, what should I do if Han Dingshi's atmosphere is embarrassing, and the cloth tent carriage is even worse."

"The best thing is hot pot, even if Ernie is shy and blushing, it can be said that the hot pot is too spicy, and nervous sweating can also be used as an excuse, and if you eat hot pot, you must drink beer, and you can only say what you think after drinking some wine."

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that

Unconsciously, the four people, including Bae Joo-hyun, were all wonderfully persuaded by Wendy.

"Ernie, edit the message like this"

Bae Joo-hyun half-pushed and half-finished began to edit the text message, and the members were worried that she would still be entangled, and kept urging her to type quickly.
