my artist neighbor

Chapter 188 186. Job-hopping? (Thanks to the leader of book friend 7003! 24)

Pei Zhuxuan hurriedly glanced at the current time.

After coming here, the phone has been automatically changed to the local China time.

It's 07:30 in the morning, 10 minutes before the alarm clock she had set to go off.

However, Pei Zhuxuan doesn't plan to sleep in the middle 10 minutes, it's okay if he can be woken up by the alarm clock smoothly, if he can't wake up
Sleeping in bed at your boyfriend's house for the first time?This kind of thing must not happen!
This Miss Pei who got up from the bed in a panic has long forgotten how she teased her boyfriend for his cautious appearance at home. Now she is far more embarrassed than Liu Xin'an at that time.

Today's match is a white long sweater with a pair of black jeans.

Her long hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, revealing her clean and fair face.

The makeup she chooses is simple plain makeup. At her boyfriend's parents' house, she must choose a makeup and collocation that is not so ostentatious, but can show her charm as much as possible.

This will leave a good impression on the man's parents!

Ok!That's what it says online.

There is a bathroom for washing on the second floor, and Pei Zhuxuan also washed on the second floor yesterday.

After simply tidying herself up and confirming that her outfit and makeup are perfect in front of the full-length mirror, Pei Zhuxuan hurried downstairs.

What made her feel a little flustered was that Liu Xin'an's mother Pu Zhenshu had woken up at this time.

And the other party was sitting on the sofa in the living room at this time, with a bundle of leeks in front of him?

Before coming here, Pei Zhuxuan had asked Li Chenglu what the New Year's customs were, so after seeing the leeks, she immediately guessed the uses of these leeks.

"Good morning Auntie."

The soft voice attracted Pu Zhenshu's attention, she turned her head to look at her son's girlfriend, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Even with such an elegant outfit, Pei Zhuxuan still couldn't conceal her outstanding beauty and temperament.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Sleep well, let me help too!"

She was completely different from Liu Xin'an who knew nothing about cooking at her home at the time. Although she didn't think her cooking skills were very good, it was okay to simply help pick a leek.

Someone helped Pu Zhenshu, but she didn't shirk it. She smiled and gave Pei Zhuxuan a handful of leeks, then patted her side, signaling him to sit over.

Pei Zhuxuan hurriedly sat down, and then picked up the bundle of leeks.

"Is this the first time you feel the New Year's atmosphere in Huaxia?"

"Well, I seldom come here, and I have always been curious about Huaxia."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded obediently, and the movements of her hands were very neat.

"Artist~ When I didn't come here, I also yearned for artists. I didn't expect my son to find an artist girlfriend. Does this count as fulfilling my dream?"

"Did you want to be an artist back then?"

"Of course, which woman in that era didn't yearn for celebrities. It seems to be in 92, Jin Nanzhu, do you know? That was my idol back then!"

"Ah! Senior Jin Nanzhu, I really like the movie "Mist" two years ago."

Of course, Pei Zhuxuan has heard of this kind of senior, and the other party is still active on the screen. She is the kind of super senior who must be respectful and respectful when she sees her in real life.

"I also watched Misty, ah~ the acting is really good."

Probably because Park Zhenshu was able to see her compatriots again after many years, Park Zhenshu did not show the "vicious" appearance that Pei Zhuxuan was worried about. Instead, she told this young junior about her life from the perspective of an elder stories of the ages.

"I went to check on Joohyun's news last night. You are a girl group. Will you act in TV dramas in the future?"

"Uh" Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips in embarrassment, and then said resentfully, "I tried it before, but the company seemed to think that I was not suitable for acting, so I might not be able to take the path of an actor."

"It's not good to be so beautiful? Who is your leader, so blind?"

"Teacher Lee Soo Man"

Pu Zhenshu curled her lips. She had heard of Li Xiuman. Before she left Korea, she knew that he had some kind of SM project. Back then, she even secretly sent an application form.

It's a pity that it probably didn't pass the trial, anyway, after sending it, there was no news.

Since then, she has not had a good impression of this guy named Li Xiuman.

"No wonder, no vision, no vision!"

Rejected her 30 years ago, and refused to let Pei Zhuxuan become an actor 30 years later, has this person not made any progress in 30 years?
"Does Auntie know Teacher Li Xiuman?"

"Of course I know. He was quite popular when I was in school, but then he stopped for a while. What kind of SM project did he come up with? It seems to be the predecessor of your company now, right?"

"Yes."

"That's no wonder, by the way, can you change jobs?"

Putting down a small handful of leeks in his hand, and just about to pick up another handful, Pei Zhuxuan heard Pu Zhenshu's words.

She was taken aback for a moment, and then she looked puzzled: "Job-hopping?"

"Yes, JYP, do you know?"

Pei Zhuxuan nodded, JYP must know that the other party, SM where she works, and a company called YG are also known as the three major brokerage companies.

Even Twice, where Nayeon has a good relationship with her, is an idol group under JYP.

It's just that what she didn't understand was why Park Jung Suk suddenly brought up JYP.

"Then do you want to jump ship to JYP?"

"Eh, it's probably hard to do."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. Do you want to, if you want, Auntie can help you."

"what?"

Pei Zhuxuan opened her mouth slightly, with a puzzled look on her face.

She didn't question Liu Xin'an's family background, the big G at Li Chenglu's next door could actually explain a lot of things.

And the Liu Xin'an family living here is definitely not an ordinary family.

Among other things, the aura that Liu Xin'an's father, Liu Zhengjiang, felt like Mr. Li Xiuman was enough to make her assert that her boyfriend is not as simple as an ordinary little Internet celebrity.

But she couldn't take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing, she could only tell her when Liu Xin'an wanted to explain.

But even so, it doesn't mean that Liu Xin'an's family can reach out to the JYP agency in their country, right?

Just when she was at a loss, the door of the house was pushed open.

The sound of the door opening made her and Pu Zhenshu turn their heads subconsciously, but it was a pity that the person who came was not Liu Xin'an who she wanted to see, but Li Chenglu who lived next door.

Today Li Chenglu is very beautifully dressed, and she is even more delicate after being well-dressed.

"Happy New Year godmother!"

The happy New Year uttered from Li Chenglu's mouth made Pei Zhuxuan's pupils tremble.

So today is the New Year's greetings?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly put down the leek in her hand, stood up, and rubbed her little hands on her pants in a panic.

Then, under the confused gazes of both Li Chenglu and Pu Zhenshu, she came to Pu Zhenshu, stretched out her hands, as if to kneel down.

This is the highest level of etiquette in Goryeo, and it is usually done when facing the elders.

To Pei Zhuxuan, Pu Zhenshu was not only an elder, but also her boyfriend's mother, so there was nothing wrong with her saluting at this time.

However, for Pu Zhenshu, who hadn't been greeted with such a big gift for many years, she really felt awkward.

"stop!"

Her yell made Pei Zhuxuan, who had bent legs, stagger.

Pei Zhuxuan looked nervously at the woman in front of her, but saw a helpless smile on her face.

"Excuse me?"

"Because I haven't wished you a new year yet." Pei Zhuxuan replied weakly.

Pu Zhenshu thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded with a smile.

"Okay, please."

This answer finally made Pei Zhuxuan heave a sigh of relief. She knelt down in front of Pu Zhenshu, and greeted the elder in front of her with a well-regulated and polite voice.

Li Chenglu also knew that this matter was very important to Pei Zhuxuan, so she didn't rush to disturb her, but waited until Pei Zhuxuan got up, and then curiously came to Pei Zhuxuan's side.

"Is this a great gift?"

She has often seen Koreans kneeling down at every turn in TV dramas, but she was shocked by how much this scene actually happened in reality.

Li Chenglu doesn't know about other places, but in her house and Liu Xin'an's house, they don't need to kowtow to their parents, they just need to say happy new year affectionately.

"Yes."

"Zhu Xuan, you can just salute like this with me. When your uncle comes back, there is no need to salute like this with him, he will be very uncomfortable."

Because Pu Zhenshu and Pei Zhuxuan are from the same country, even though she has not practiced this etiquette in reality for many years, she can still accept it.

But for Liu Zhengjiang and Liu Xin'an who had never been in contact with this kind of culture, Pei Zhuxuan's actions just now would definitely scare them.

"But this is not in accordance with etiquette"

Pei Zhuxuan looked troubled, a little tangled.

Pu Zhenshu also put down the handful of leeks in her hand. Speaking of which, when Pei Zhuxuan saluted her just now, she was still holding leeks in her hand.

"That's fine, come here as you feel comfortable."

In the end, she let go.

This is Pei Zhuxuan's sincerity and courtesy as a junior, besides, she knows her husband well.

A girl from another country greeted him with the most solemn etiquette in her own country, and he had no reason to refuse.

Everyone knows the principle of doing as the Romans do, but occasionally you should respect other people's customs.

"Thank you auntie!"

"You're welcome, Cheng Lu, where's your mother?"

"For the face-to-face meeting, I guess I'll be here in a while."

"Ah?" Pei Zhuxuan became inexplicably nervous. After all, she seemed to have never met Liu Xin'an's godmother, Li Chenglu's own mother, right?
I only saw Pu Zhenshu last night.

Her nervousness was also noticed by Li Chenglu on the side, she hurriedly smiled and patted Pei Zhuxuan's back lightly, in this way to relax for him.

"Don't be nervous, sister Irene, my mother is easy to get along with."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded, but she was still a little nervous.

---

"I'll be back."

Liu Xin'an, who finished the worship, returned home at nine o'clock, while his father went directly to Li Chenglu's next door with great insight.

Anyway, he doesn't know how to cook, and there is a high probability that Pu Zhenshu will scold him at home. With the saying that out of sight, out of mind, he decided to "pick" himself away from his wife's eyes.

This way at least he doesn't have to lose face in front of the juniors.

"Ah, Liu Xin'an shut the door, it's freezing to death."

Without Li Chenglu saying anything, Liu Xin'an hurriedly closed the door tightly, and then let out a long and comfortable breath.

It is still very cold in Jincheng in February.

Not to mention that he went out with his dad early in the morning and ran to the ancestral grave in the suburbs, setting off firecrackers and burning paper, it was extremely cold.

The heating in the house is very good, but because it is a self-built house, there will be no such thing as floor heating, so you must wear slippers at home.

After casually hanging the coat on the closet beside him, Liu Xin'an came to his girlfriend and formally said hello to the elders one by one.

"Mom, godmother, happy new year!"

"Happy New Year Xin'an, this year will be 29~"

Wu Xiu cheerfully greeted her godson. In fact, strictly speaking, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so the New Year's greetings should be put on tomorrow.

But for so many years, everyone has become accustomed to New Year's Eve greetings.

It's just a formality, for a festive occasion, there is no need to be so particular about it.

"I will find a girlfriend this year, you can't rush me this year~"

Liu Xin'an's lively side surprised Pei Zhuxuan beside him.

After seeing the "weak" Liu Xin'an yesterday, today she saw a new side of Liu Xin'an.

It's not that she feels unfamiliar with Liu Xin'an like this, but she still feels novelty and excitement.

By the way, she also saluted Wu Xiu just now. This authentic Chinese woman showed a nervous side at first, but soon became excited.

Probably because she is also a fan of Korean dramas?

Pei Zhuxuan's actions made her feel like she was in the drama?
Anyway, very excited.

"Your matter is settled, what can Cheng Lu do~"

The sudden change in the topic made Li Chenglu grinning uncontrollably. She didn't want to sit here and become the object of the elders' urging marriage. Besides, if nothing unexpected happened, the house would be lively soon.

Pei Zhuxuan's identity must still need to be concealed, so she stood up and pulled Pei Zhuxuan who was confused by the side.

"Mom, godmother, let's go upstairs first, and it will be troublesome if those who come to pay New Year's greetings recognize Sister Irene later."

"That's right, you guys go up and play, Xin'an, you go up too, as long as we are busy later."

"Ah."

Liu Xin'an followed suit, got up, and after briefly explaining to Pei Zhuxuan, Pei Zhuxuan stretched out his hand to grab his clothes apologetically.

"Is it okay? I feel that I should help downstairs."

"No need, Zhuxuan, you won't be able to help you make dumplings later, just go up and play with them, or Xin'an, you can take Zhuxuan around our place, it's her first time here."

Park Zhenshu could understand Pei Zhuxuan's words, so she directly spoke to comfort Pei Zhuxuan.

And this made Pei Zhuxuan's eyes shine.

Indeed, since she woke up today, she hasn't had time to look outside.

It was too late when she came here last night, she didn't have time to take a good look at this small town that carried Liu Xin'an's childhood.
