Chapter 454. 452. The News That Old Dai Brought Back
After putting energy into work, it is generally difficult for people to feel the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, it is the most anticipated holiday in February, which is Valentine's Day, which is eagerly awaited by all couples.

Although they have been together for more than a year, Liu Xin'an and Pei Zhuxuan are still in a state of passionate love because they always get along very sweetly.

For couples who are in a passionate relationship, Valentine's Day is actually not a special day worth celebrating, after all... For them, as long as they are together, it can be considered Valentine's Day.

Pei Zhuxuan, who had been meditating for a long time, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door of Chief Kim's office.

"Come in."

Pei Zhuxuan pushed open the door, walked into the office with light steps, first politely bowed slightly to Mr. Jin, then said hello, and after getting a response, she sat in front of Mr. Jin.

Looking at the woman in front of her who didn't show any emotions, Mr. Jin was a little puzzled.

"Did something go wrong during the preparation process?"

The MV shooting has also ended, these two days they have been cooperating with the company to make various preparations for their comeback, including but not limited to the shooting of various pictorials, and some behind-the-scenes videos that will be released later.

Probably because their commercial value has increased a lot, the material resources prepared by the company for them this time are much more than before.

"No, I have something I want to talk to you, Director."

This was an answer beyond Mr. Jin's expectations. He raised his eyebrows, showing a surprised expression.

"Oh?"

"It's about my personal variety show after my comeback that you mentioned to me last time."

"Ah... What's the problem with that?"

"I want to ask some more specific content. You said that you will shoot about my work and life, right?"

"It's like this. You should be going abroad during that time, um... But it's not Huaxia. When Huaxia is a group show, you probably want to go to Europe. The specific situation has not yet been determined."

"That's it... I don't have any requirements for the shooting location, but there is one thing I want to discuss with you..."

"Is it a matter of the staff appearing together?"

Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and then she showed a puzzled expression: "I don't understand the company's intentions, isn't that incident already over, and if you arrange such a job for me now, won't everyone think about it again?" Get up about that?"

"Well... I understand what you mean, but Irene, you have to be clear about one thing. Your sense of variety does not support you to support a show alone. It is true that you want to whitewash your previous incident by letting the staff appear together. But at the same time, they are also the stars of your show."

Chief Jin replied in a deep voice.

As he said, Pei Zhuxuan is the most popular member in the team, but also the member with the least resources.

And this year, Pei Zhuxuan got the resources that originally belonged to her, coupled with the storm of public opinion surrounding her in the past two years... This personal variety show is bound to attract the attention of many, many people.

Then, to maximize Pei Zhuxuan's commercial value is the company's goal this time.

Rather than a personal variety show, this is actually more like a "product display session". During the recording of the show, Pei Zhuxuan will definitely change many sets of clothes, jewelry, and various fashion items.

While whitewashing herself, she will show her commercial value by the way, and by the way, she can also advertise for her team's variety show after her personal variety show, and her comeback at the end of the year...

These are requirements within the company.

In the end, putting all these things aside, there is a deeper purpose to whitewash Pei Zhuxuan, that is...

"This year, you are a cross-border couple that our country and Huaxia strongly support. There must be no black spots on you that can be brought out to make a fuss. This time, whitewashing is inevitable."

"Can…"

Looking at Pei Zhuxuan's eyes that were gradually dimming, Chief Jin took off his glasses, sighed, and his tone became much softer.

"Of course, you don't have to accept this plan, but the premise is that you have to come up with a plan that can convince the company...or at least convince me."

Pei Zhuxuan was stunned by the sudden change of subject, and then she stood up abruptly with a surprised expression.

"Is what you said true?"

Mr. Jin was happy. In fact, everything he said above was the request of the company's upper management, and he... knew Pei Zhuxuan better than the bosses.

After all, she is Pei Zhuxuan's most direct leader. If he doesn't even know what his employees are thinking, then he is a failure as a leader.

From the very beginning, Chief Kim knew that Pei Zhuxuan would definitely be dissatisfied with this project, so he didn't directly take over the job, but used a tactful way to deal with the above all the time.

Anyway, there is still a long time before the shooting, this time is enough for him to refer to Pei Zhuxuan's opinion.

Now that Pei Zhuxuan can bring it up by himself, he is happy and relaxed.

"Well, I knew you wouldn't agree, so I also told the president, there is still plenty of time, you can come up with a plan that can convince me first."

Pei Zhuxuan suppressed the desire to cheer, and then she became very aggrieved. This person knew why she didn't tell herself the first day, she had prepared many reasons to convince Mr. Jin these days!

"Then... when is the latest when I will take out the plan?"

"Before the comeback, I don't think you have time to prepare those things when you come back. Before you're completely busy, you should work hard on your own."

"Nai! I understand the room chief!"

Pei Zhuxuan saluted Chief Kim very cutely, then turned around happily and prepared to leave.

But before she left, another possibility ran through her mind.

Her movements stopped, then, she hesitated for a moment, turned around, and asked in a low voice.

"Director, did you...Xin'an called you?"

"Xin'an? Liu Xin'an? Why did he call me?"

It is undeniable that the president is willing to give Pei Zhuxuan the opportunity to prepare a plan, and a large part of it is indeed for Liu Xinan's face.

But Liu Xin'an's phone call really didn't happen.

"Huh, it's nothing, I'm overthinking the room chief."

"Well, if you have nothing to do, go back and continue preparing. If you plan...you have to think more interestingly, and at the same time, you have to show your charm. These two points are very important."

"I~ I'll think about it seriously."

"it is good."

After politely bowing to Director Jin three times, she walked out of the office, finally unable to suppress her excitement.

Excited, she silently cheered for herself like a child.

But soon she felt that her actions were extremely stupid, so she blushed, pretending that nothing happened, and quickly left from the door of Mr. Jin's office.

...

"Today is Valentine's Day. If you don't go with your girlfriend, it doesn't matter if you come to me?"

As long as the person sitting opposite Liu Xin'an and saying this is a woman, maybe a bloody junior high-ranking drama is about to be staged.

Unfortunately, the person sitting in front of Liu Xin'an at this time was a man.

Dai Zhiyuan took a sip of his coffee and asked Liu Xin'an jokingly.

Liu Xin'an spread his hands. To be honest, he was very hesitant to see Pei Zhuxuan today. After all, he said that he would not put pressure on that person. Since the beginning of the year, in the past ten days, except for the quarrel between Pei Zhuxuan and Jiang Seulqi on the day of returning home, he Just met Pei Zhuxuan once.

In the rest of the time, they are more contacted on mobile phones, video calls, voice chats and the like.

Of course it would be a lie to say that she doesn't miss her, but Liu Xin'an still remembers her stressed out appearance. He doesn't think that Pei Zhuxuan has the energy and time to prepare some Valentine's Day gifts for him. Give.
"Aren't they coming back soon? Let's talk about it after the busy period. For a couple like us who have a good relationship, as long as we are together, every day is Valentine's Day."

This large portion of dog food made Dai Zhiyuan put on a mask of pain, and now he regrets it, can he drive Liu Xin'an away?

"Speaking of business, I have a job to come here this time." He hurriedly looked serious, cleared his throat, and then seriously spoke to Liu Xin'an.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xin'an, who was still cheerful just now, also restrained his playful smile.

"The afternoon of the day after tomorrow, there will be a special interview with the media here on the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between us and them, including your name."

"Um"

"Then in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, there will be a meeting that requires you to attend. You don't need to do anything, just follow along."

"I?"

"Yes, next, SBS also wanted to interview you and Irene. I don't know if SM received the news, but because you don't have a management company, this invitation was sent directly to our embassy."

Dai Zhiyuan told Liu Xin'an about the recent situation one by one. With the end of the Spring Festival, life on the right track began to proceed step by step.

Those tasks that have been settled a long time ago have gradually entered the proper process.

Dai Zhiyuan or the embassy gave Liu Xin'an a lot of help. As a Chinese, Liu Xin'an naturally had to cooperate to carry out decent publicity.

"And the TV interview?"

"Yes, but this time it's not an entertainment section. You and Irene should go to some more formal occasions."

Liu Xin'an nodded.

"The general situation of this month is like this. I won't call you for some small and fragmented activities. In March... I will inform you again at that time, ah! Also, I will introduce you to a friend later."

"friend?"

"Yes, very good friend, anyway, much better than me."

Dai Zhiyuan winked, and then he took another sip of coffee.

The notice he was supposed to convey had already been conveyed, and it would be wrong if he tried again. He should hand over the work to Liu Xin'an again, as he had other things to be busy with.

"How powerful?"

"You'll know later that you're right, and there's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"How about some autographed photos of Irene and the others?" Dai Zhiyuan said his request.

Liu Xin'an was taken aback, and asked jokingly, "Why do you want that? Are you also her fan?"

"No, we have a group, uh... I don't know if you can accept it, anyway, it's a fan fiction group that writes about artists here, have you heard of it?"

"not sure."

"Anyway, there are many authors who are fans of the artists here. If you can help me get some autographed photos, I can give them away later."

Liu Xin'an nodded knowingly, and then, a curiosity welled up in his heart.

"Is there any writing about her?"

"You mean your girlfriend?"

"Correct."

"There used to be, but since Irene established a relationship with you and made it public, many authors who wrote about her stopped writing. Now, you are almost becoming the existence of that small circle."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Liu Xin'an wasn't upset or anything, on the contrary, he smiled heartily.

"Okay, I'll mention it to her later, um. Others can also get it for you, Twice, Yuqi and the others, and Ningning and the others are also fine."

"If I need to find you, that's fine. I'll go on and call if I need anything."

"to make."

Liu Xin'an got up and followed Dai Zhiyuan out of the coffee shop.

"You really don't need me to see you?"

Dai Zhiyuan waved his hand, then pointed to a nearby building.

"I'm going this way."

"Hey, it's convenient for you."

"gone."

"Ah."

After saying goodbye to Dai Zhiyuan, Liu Xin'an took out his mobile phone, recorded all the work that Dai Zhiyuan told him just now in a memo, and then frowned.

Now he is no longer just the anchor Liu Xin'an, at least this year he has a lot of things that need to be done by himself.

If that's the case, shouldn't he also find an agent who specializes in contacting these jobs for him?

No, he is not considered an artist, so he should find an assistant.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary. Liu Xin'an slapped his palm, and then got into his car.

Go home first, and then talk when you get home.

The coffee shop where we agreed to meet was not very far from home. After safely driving the car into the underground garage, Liu Xin'an picked up the lunch he bought along the way, put on a mask and walked into the elevator.

And when he opened the door of the house and saw the pair of women's sneakers under the entrance, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then it turned into surprise.

The sound of his opening the door was also heard by the uninvited "guests" at home, so soon, Pei Zhuxuan, who was wearing khaki sweatpants and a beige sweater, looked down at her boyfriend with her hands on her hips.

No way, who made her short.

Even if she was standing on the porch that was one level higher than Liu Xin'an, she could only look at Liu Xin'an at the same level.

"Yeah, where have you been?"

Pei Zhuxuan narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked angrily.

For today, she woke up very early in the morning. After receiving the good news from Mr. Jin, she ran over immediately.

I thought it was a surprise for Liu Xin'an, but unexpectedly, she missed it.

Of course, she will not restrict Liu Xin'an's personal freedom, but the problem is that firstly, today is Valentine's Day, and secondly!Liu Xin'an didn't tell her when he went out!

This is what she is dissatisfied with.

"Why did you come here? Why didn't you tell me when you came here?"

Liu Xin'an took off his shoes, and excitedly stretched out his hand to give his girlfriend a long-lost hug. After all, he hadn't seen her for a week, and he missed her very much.

But how could the dissatisfied Pei Zhuxuan fulfill Liu Xin'an's wish!
"Wait, you haven't answered my question yet."

Pei Zhuxuan struggled to resist, but the difference in fighting strength between the two was too great. In the end, she was still hugged tightly by this damned guy.

Although Liu Xin'an still had the air-conditioning when he came back from the outside, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly softened up with that feeling of peace of mind.

The hug didn't last long, and Liu Xin'an, who realized that he was still cold, quickly let go of Pei Zhuxuan.

He grinned, and then explained where he was just now.

"I met with Lao Dai. He has something to do in Seoul today."

"That Mr. Dai Zhiyuan?"

"Well, I didn't expect you to come here, and I wanted to meet and come back, so I didn't tell you."

This was just one of the reasons. As for why he didn't take the initiative to tell Pei Zhuxuan about it, it was actually due to the special date of today.

It's still the same sentence, he needs to control his love that has nowhere to rest.

Pei Zhuxuan couldn't bear too many words.

"Well, you should tell me. I came to look for you early in the morning, but you were not at home. Today is Valentine's Day. You are going to scare me to death."

When Pei Zhuxuan entered the door and didn't see Liu Xin'an, she really almost went into cardiopulmonary arrest.

Usually it's okay, but today is Valentine's Day.

Although rationality told her that it was absolutely impossible for Liu Xin'an to do such a thing to be sorry for her, all kinds of strange and weird pictures appeared in her mind uncontrollably.

It's like Liu Xin'an went out to date other women early in the morning.

Or... this person didn't come back at all last night?After all, his bed was clean, and there was no sign of anyone staying overnight.

Just those strange possibilities, Pei Zhuxuan almost fainted.

Hmm. As it turns out, she did think too much.

"Why, are you worried that I will find another woman?"

"Ah."

"Then there must be someone who is more beautiful than our Zhuxuan, but according to my current observation, it seems that such a person has not been born yet."

Although it was a compliment, like many girls in love, Pei Zhuxuan was keenly aware of the dissatisfaction in these words.

She reached out and grabbed Liu Xin'an's collar, forcing him to bow his head slightly.

"Mo? If there is one, why don't you go find that person?"

"I'm praising you, why can't I hear that I'm praising you?"

Liu Xinan smiled absurdly, and then he covered Pei Zhuxuan's lips.

After a light kiss, Liu Xin'an smiled and hugged Pei Zhuxuan again.

Pei Zhuxuan snorted softly, and also smiled along with her.

Yes, Miss Pei is just so easy to coax.

No, it should be said that in front of Liu Xin'an, Miss Pei is so easy to coax.

This thing is divided.

"So what did that Mr. Dai Zhiyuan seek you for?"

"Has your company not told you yet?"

"our company?"

Pei Zhuxuan was at a loss, she just came back from Mr. Jin's place today, so she didn't know what was going on.

"Yes, SBS is going to interview the two of us, with the theme of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our country and your country."

"Mo?!"
