my artist neighbor

Chapter 372 370. Preparing for an Open Romance

"Hello, Ms. Pei Zhuxuan, my children have always liked Red velvet, if possible, can you give me an autograph?"

"Ah! Of course, it is our pleasure."

After seriously and neatly signing her name on the handkerchief, Pei Zhuxuan sent the visitor away with a commercial smile, and then looked at Dai Zhiyuan standing beside her.

Dai Zhiyuan proficiently reported the other party's identity.

"This is Ha Yunsu, the Superintendent of Education of Busan Metropolitan City, and the one in front of him is Park Hyungjun, Mayor of Busan."

Pei Zhuxuan was expressionless, not because she had a big heart, but because she was numb.

Seriously numb.

These big figures that they had never had access to in performing arts activities appeared in front of them one after another, and they always maintained a friendly attitude. This was something that Pei Zhuxuan and others could not even think about.

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

"Ah! Ms. Pei Zhuxuan, it's been a long time."

Pei Zhuxuan recognized the person who came to visit this time.

"Hello, Mayor Quan!"

Pei Zhuxuan 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 had seen the mayor at some events.

It's just that in the past it was just a one-off meeting, at most a handshake, and such a cordial conversation like now is the first time she has debuted for such a long time.

"It is indeed an honor for us in Daegu to have such an outstanding celebrity like Ms. Pei Zhuxuan."

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

"Hahaha, that's really a good word from you. I don't know if you will be free in the next period of time. There is still a vacancy for the position of cultural spokesperson in Daegu."

"Ah? I can't make the decision. I still need to listen to the company's arrangements for specific matters."

Pei Zhuxuan hurriedly waved his hand and moved the company out to talk about the matter.

"Well, then it seems that I have to call SM when I have time, and have a good chat with Chairman Li Chengzhu."

"Uh..." Pei Zhuxuan didn't know what to reply, so she could only raise the corners of her lips and show a helpless smile.

It is not rare to show favor like Mayor Quan.

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

After seeing Zhang Jirong and Dai Zhiyuan's goodwill, these visitors who were also invited instantly understood the energy behind this beautiful Ms. Pei Zhuxuan.

Of course, they don't know the specific situation very well, but it is undeniable that it is definitely beneficial for them to show their affection first and get acquainted with each other.

And they don't need to do anything, some things that are extremely beneficial to Pei Zhuxuan are just a word from them.

After dealing with a group of big people who came to show their favor, Pei Zhuxuan held Liu Xin'an's arm, and after confirming that there would not be too many people still staring at them, she carefully put her head on Liu Xin'an's back, Calm down the nervous mood.

Liu Xin'an squeezed Pei Zhuxuan's little hand a little guiltily, then leaned into the other's ear, whispering softly.

"It must be a lot of pressure, I'm sorry Joohyun."

His voice was low, and the breath he exhaled slightly between the conversations stained her delicate earlobes red.

Pei Zhuxuan, who was leaning on his back, shook her head, and said softly in a very intimate voice: "We should thank you, you don't need to apologize."

"...Won't the honor gained in this way embarrass you?"

Pei Zhuxuan was taken aback for a moment, then straightened up amusedly, and looked up at Liu Xin'an who was looking worried.

"Ah, what kind of rookie am I? Why are you shouting every day that you want to reach the top with your own strength?"

"Uh"

"Being able to be so active after so many years of debut is already a very successful thing for us, and without you, we might just be the tail of the three major girl groups for the rest of our lives, so you don't need to Blame yourself for something."

Pei Zhuxuan is very aware of the situation she is in at this time, and it is the same as what she said, if there is no Liu Xin'an, their return this time will probably be just tepid.

Maybe next year's efforts will bring their performance to a new high, but after all, it is impossible to reach the height they once longed for.

But his appearance changed everything.

The originally planned low-key comeback has completely turned into a fiery explosion, so next year...maybe it can be called the year of Red velvet?
No one can say all of this, but at least it is much more real than the illusory feeling of the past.

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

I don't know how many times Pei Zhuxuan was thankful that she chose to go back to her own home to live instead of continuing to complain about herself in the dormitory.

If there is no such decision, this excellent guy in front of him may be cheaper!

Just thinking about this possibility, Ms. Pei, who was originally sweet in her heart, became sour uncontrollably. She hugged Liu Xin'an's arm tightly in her arms. The pretty face was even more indifferent.

And Pei Zhuxuan, who made such a noble gesture, amazed Jiang Seulqi and others beside him.

This sister. It can be said that the oath of sovereignty has been brought to the extreme.

But well.
"It's said to be a fiancee, sister Zhuxuan, who are you guarding against?"

Sun Shengwan made a funny joke, there shouldn't be any blind people flirting with Liu Xinan blatantly under such a premise.

And did this sister underestimate her appearance too much?
In this banquet, excluding the four of them, who else can compare with Pei Zhuxuan in terms of appearance?
This is not arrogance, but the complete truth!

But then, there was a scene that caused Son Seung-wan's blood pressure to rise.

Originally, she would always dote on her with a smile, but her closest sister, Pei Zhuxuan, looked at her warily.

Then, under her speechless gaze, Pei Zhuxuan raised the corners of her mouth and said cautiously but without losing her smile: "Defend against you."

"Ah!! Pei Zhuxuan!"

Of course, this was just Pei Zhuxuan joking, and Sun Shengwan also understood this, but she still felt wronged from the bottom of her heart by being so guarded by such a close sister.

As for the way she vented her grievances.
Liu Xin'an helplessly looked at Sun Shengwan who was glaring at him.

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

"I didn't do anything."

"Your existence is a mistake!"

"Hahaha~"

Seeing the object of his liking and his close sister being so interesting, Pei Zhuxuan only had joy and happiness in his heart at this time.

The dinner came to an end, the visitors left in an orderly manner, and Pei Zhuxuan and others formally left the consulate general after saying goodbye to Dai Zhiyuan and Zhang Jirong politely.

"There will be chaos online tomorrow. Because of us."

Walking out of the venue, feeling the slightly cold autumn wind outside, Jiang Seulqi suddenly said this, successfully making Pei Zhuxuan and others look at her.

Jiang Seulqi, who was looked at by everyone like this, did not panic, she looked at Pei Zhuxuan and winked excitedly.

"Compared to those, I have a bigger headache now, how to tell Brother Taiqian what happened just now."

The younger sisters were very excited, but for Pei Zhuxuan, who was the real center of public opinion, she still had a headache.

What happened tonight was beyond their expectations, especially Pei Zhuxuan.

It's okay to become Liu Xin'an's fiancée out of nowhere, but the subsequent courtship of those big shots made her unable to believe what happened tonight.

She pointed at herself, with a strange expression on her face: "I don't know why, do you think you are married into a rich family?"

"That's right! Sister Zhuxuan, when did you become Liu Xin'an's fiancée? He proposed to you?"

"No, but Principal should have his own intentions."

"Sister Zhuxuan, you can't do it all the time. It's true that Liu Xin'an has helped us a lot, but it doesn't mean that you can fool around such a big matter as a marriage proposal! Say yes, Seulqi!"

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

But Jiang Seulqi didn't respond to her, but her mind was wide open.

"If Sister Zhuxuan marries Liu Xin'an, what shall we do?"

".You guys are thinking too far. I have only dated Xin'an for less than a year."

"It's only been a year? We look at it and feel that you two have been talking for many years and are ready to talk about marriage."

"Is there?" Pei Zhuxuan asked in confusion.

The sisters all nodded in unison.

The corners of Pei Zhuxuan's mouth twitched. During the chat, they had officially walked out of the gate of the consulate general and came to the street outside.

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

"Eileen, how are you doing?"

The appearance of Cheng Taiqian made the chatting people quiet down, Pei Zhuxuan looked at Cheng Taiqian whose face was full of anxiety, his lips trembled, and sighed.

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

"Row."

Pei Zhuxuan's sigh made Cheng Taiqian's heart go cold. He didn't expect Pei Zhuxuan to expand his network in it, as long as he didn't offend others.

After the group of people returned to the car, Cheng Taiqian took a deep breath and expressed doubts: "Where's Xin'an? Didn't you come out with you?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Pei Zhuxuan said: "Xin'an will stay at the guest house tonight, he has business tomorrow, we will fly back soon."

"So, how about this banquet?"

"Uh, how do you say that?"

Pei Zhuxuan started to get dizzy, she really didn't know how to explain to Cheng Taeqian what happened at the banquet.

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

"I'll come, I'll come, to put it simply... we Red velvet, may be about to take off."

".take off?"

This was a word that Sung Tae-qian could not understand, he continued to question Son Seung-wan, while Jiang Seul-gi approached Pei Zhu-hyun with her mobile phone.

"Sister Zhuxuan, what company does that Uncle Zhang come from?"

"Well, I'm thinking about Datai Goryeo?"

"Datai. Oh! Got it!" Don't look at the team's search king is Son Seung-wan, she Kang Seul-gi is not weaker than Sun Seung-wan in using the Internet at all!

Soon, with her swift movements, the data of Datai Goryeo suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Then, she and Pei Zhuxuan who came over to look at the information were both stunned.

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

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

"Yes, it seems to be the person in charge of Datai Koryo. It should be a very powerful company."

"Dadatai?!"

Cheng Taiqian couldn't conceal the shock in his heart, and he yelled out "Aw".

Compared with Pei Zhuxuan and the others who knew nothing about these aspects, Cheng Taeqian had done a lot of homework in this aspect.

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

And the uncle of the general manager.
Converted to their country, this can no longer be summed up by the phrase "Chaebol II".

".Irene, you and Liu Xin'an really only met because we lived next door?"

Pei Zhuxuan quickly came out of the shock. There were too many shocking things that happened in front of her tonight, and she was almost numb now.

Facing Cheng Taeqian's question, Pei Zhuxuan nodded dully, and then a question mark rose in his heart.

To be honest, she herself began to wonder, how could such a powerful man be taken down by her so easily?

---

Liu Xin'an was quite well-known among young people. After the official banquet, Dai Zhiyuan dragged Liu Xin'an to meet his friends, that is, all the staff members of the Consulate General.

After that, he returned to the room of the guest house, and Dai Zhiyuan also followed him gossipingly.

"When are you going to make it public next?"

The configuration of the guest house is just an ordinary room.

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

"Me and Joohyun?"

"Yes, we must be prepared to cooperate with you when you make it public. Otherwise, even if your aunt is from this side, you are half from here. However, given the xenophobia of the Koreans, there are still a group of people who will scold you and Irene. .”

In terms of pettiness, it is estimated that no countryman can compare with the Koreans. Dai Zhiyuan, who works here, has a good say in this point.

But in fact, it is similar in China. If a popular female artist suddenly gets together with a Korean, it is estimated that many trolls in China will "justice" pick up the keyboard
"How are you going to cooperate with us?"

"Give Sister Irene some more official resources, and at the same time cooperate with SM Company to suppress public opinion and popularity, bring public opinion to the side that supports reconciliation, and then release a few more powerful endorsements, such as Samsung, some The tourism image of the region speaks for this.”

Dai Zhiyuan casually said exaggerated statements one by one, and Liu Xin'an was taken aback for a while.

He was stunned for a long time, and then asked suspiciously: "Can Zhuxuan really get this kind of thing?"

"It's not a big problem. Didn't Mayor Quan already offer an olive branch, and there are many others like that. Doesn't Mr. Zhang also mean that?"

Dai Zhiyuan didn't think it was a difficult task. With the relationship between Datai and Samsung, the Samsung director surnamed Li must be willing to sell such a face.

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

And being able to become the spokesperson of Samsung products is also a symbol of an artist's worth.

After Dai Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xin'an amusedly: "Brother An Zi, you are really the son of a high-level executive in Datai? Why do you feel that you have no idea at all?"

"Nonsense, I have never been exposed to these things at all, and my dad never brings work matters home. The first time I saw Uncle Zhang, I thought Uncle Zhang was some kind of burglar. I almost called the police."

".boss Zhang?"

"Correct."

"Brilliant."

Liu Xin'an laughed and shook his head, sitting cross-legged on the bed, seriously thinking about the question Dai Zhiyuan asked just now.

"If it's public, I plan to listen to Joo Hyun's arrangement. She means October. When they have time after their comeback, I will take the time to tell the fans about it."

"October"

"What happened to October?"

"It's okay, I just think about whether there is any big event in October."

"Have it?"

"Well, there must be, but it has nothing to do with you, that is"

"Stop! I'm not curious."

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

"What do you think of the October release?"

"It's very good, it must be a very suitable topic for fans to talk about after dinner."

"Personally, I definitely don't care. You are also a water friend. You certainly don't care who I'm with, right?"

"Uh, if you are with some strange woman, even if you are a water friend, you will lose your fans." Dai Zhiyuan replied seriously, and then he added kindly, "Don't worry, I won't step back."

"I should also thank you, right?"

"You're welcome!"

"The main concern is the reaction of Joohyun's fans. This time, just because of the hype, many Joohyun fans have already started to oppose this matter."

This is what Liu Xin'an is really worried about.

Since SM started to stir up popularity, some fans have expressed strong dissatisfaction on Pei Zhuxuan's personal fan station.

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

But people tend to read comments that criticize themselves.

As an anchor, Liu Xin'an was even able to find a bad comment from the barrage of praise on the screen.

Then I felt bad for a few days because of this bad review.

This time it is naturally the same.

"Ah~ I get dizzy when I think that Joohyun will face countless scolding from fans."

Liu Xin'an rubbed the corners of his eyes irritably, and said in a low voice.

"Relax, since sister-in-law can make this decision, it means she has her own preparations, and you have to give sister-in-law some confidence, don't you?"

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

but.
He trusted Pei Zhuxuan, and it didn't conflict with his love for Pei Zhuxuan.

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