Chapter 214: 186. Job-hopping? (Thanks to Book Friend 7003 for the Alliance Hierarch! 2/4)

Bae Juhyun hurriedly glanced at the time.

After arriving here, her mobile phone had automatically adjusted to the local Huaxia time.

It was now 7:30 a.m., and there were ten minutes left until the alarm she had set was due to go off.

However, Bae Juhyun didn’t plan to sleep for those remaining ten minutes—if the alarm managed to wake her up, that was fine if not...

Being late to rise on her first visit to her boyfriend’s house? That absolutely could not happen!

This flustered Miss Bae getting out of bed had already forgotten how she had mocked her boyfriend’s cautiousness when he was at her house, and now she was far more disheveled than Liu Xin’an had been then.

Her outfit for the day was a long white sweatshirt paired with black jeans.

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

The makeup she chose was simple, a bare-faced look, at her boyfriend’s parents’ house she definitely had to pick a makeup and outfit that was neither too flashy nor too dull to best showcase her charm.

This would surely leave a good impression on his parents!

Hmm! That’s what the internet says.

There was a bathroom with washing facilities on the second floor, where Bae Juhyun had washed up the day before.

After quickly getting herself ready and confirming that her outfit and makeup were impeccable in front of a full-length mirror, Bae Juhyun hurried downstairs.

What made her somewhat anxious was that at this hour, Liu Xin’an’s mother Park Jinsuk was already up.

And she was sitting on the living room sofa, with a bunch of... chives in front of her?

Before coming here, Bae Juhyun had asked Li Chenglu what the New Year customs were in this region, so upon seeing the chives, her first thought was the use for these chives.

"Good morning, Auntie."

Her gentle voice drew Park Jinsuk’s attention, and she turned to look at her son’s girlfriend with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

Even with such modest attire, Bae Juhyun could hardly conceal her outstanding beauty and grace.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Very well, let me help out too!"

Unlike Liu Xin’an, who was clueless about cooking at her home, she didn’t think her cooking skills were that great, but she could certainly handle something simple like picking chives.

Park Jinsuk didn’t refuse the offered help, smiling as she handed a bunch of chives to Bae Juhyun and then patted the space beside her, signaling for her to sit down.

Bae Juhyun quickly sat down and picked up the bundle of chives.

"Is this your first time experiencing the New Year atmosphere in Huaxia?"

"Yes, I rarely come here, and I’m always curious about Huaxia."

Bae Juhyun nodded obediently, her hands moving deftly.

"An artist eh~ Back when I hadn’t come over to this side, I also idolized artists. I never imagined my son would end up with an artist girlfriend. Am I living vicariously through him?"

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

"Of course, which woman of that era didn’t dream of being a star? I think it was around ’92, do you know Kim Namjoo? That was my idol back then!"

"Ah! Senior Kim Namjoo, I really like her work from two years ago, the one called "Mist"."

Of course, Bae Juhyun had heard of such a senior artist who was still active on the screen—a super-senior whom she had to respectfully greet upon meeting in real life.

"I also watched Mist, ah~ The acting was really good."

Perhaps because it had been many years since she had seen a compatriot, Park Jinsuk didn’t show the "fierce" attitude that Bae Juhyun was worried about; instead, she spoke as an elder, telling the young successor stories of her own era.

"I looked up some information about you last night, Juhyun. You’re in a girl group, will you act in TV dramas in the future?"

"Uh..." Bae Juhyun pursed her lips in slight embarrassment, then said reluctantly, "I’ve tried before, but it seems my company doesn’t think I’m cut out for acting, so I might not be able to pursue a career in acting..."

"Too bad with such beauty? Who’s your leader, so lacking in vision?"

"Teacher Lee Sooman..."

Park Jinsuk frowned, having heard of Lee Sooman; even before she left Korea, she knew of his project something called S-M. She had even secretly sent in an application back then.

Unfortunately, it must not have been approved, because after sending it, there was no response at all.

Ever since then, she hadn’t had a good impression of this guy named Lee Sooman.

"No wonder, such a lack of insight!"

He had rejected her 30 years ago and now wasn’t letting Bae Juhyun become an actress; hadn’t the man progressed at all in 30 years?

"Auntie, you know about Teacher Lee Sooman?"

"Of course, he was quite popular when I was in school, but he went quiet for a while. Then he started something called S-M Project... that’s the precursor to your company now, right?"

"Yes."

"No wonder then. Hey, can you switch agencies?"

She placed a small bundle of chives down, was about to pick up another when she heard Park Jinsuk’s question.

She was momentarily stunned, then her face showed confusion, "Switch agencies?"

"Yes, do you know JYP?"

Bae Juhyun nodded; of course, she knew JYP, which along with her S-M and another company called YG, were known as the top three agencies.

In fact, Im Nayeon from Twice, with whom she had a good relationship, belonged to JYP’s idol group.

Yet, she didn’t understand why Park Jinsuk was suddenly bringing up JYP.

"Do you want to transfer to JYP?"

"Uh... It’s probably very difficult."
