Chapter 262: 209. Agent? Talent Scout! (Please subscribe! Please vote for monthly ticket!)_2

"Uh... well, I’m not really interested in becoming an artist, and I already have my own job. Really, thanks for your appreciation."

Liu Xin’an politely pushed away the business card. Being an artist? No, thank you.

He sometimes got overwhelmed just by the comments during his live streams. With his level of stress tolerance, if he really became an artist, he’d probably end up posting a video saying, "I’m suffering from burnout" within a month.

Then he’d have to beg for donations...

Ahem.

After taking two steps back, Liu Xin’an turned and walked away without a second thought, leaving Seong Taekyon sighing in regret next to him.

With this fan’s looks and physique, a little packaging and debuting as a model wouldn’t be a problem at all.

As long as his acting wasn’t terrible, he could gain some experience in a few drama sets, create a bit of buzz, and he’d definitely become popular!

What a pity, truly a pity.

"Let’s go, let’s head up to see Irene. It’s such a waste..."

"Taekyon oppa, do you think that fan could debut?"

"With some packaging, it shouldn’t be a big issue. But of course, we need to do a thorough background check; any black history is a no-go."

Nowadays, the internet is so advanced that people’s old online posts can easily be dug up, and in recent years, it’s becoming common for artists to be haunted by their past scandals.

So now, besides recruiting artists, S-M also conducts detailed background checks.

The company isn’t a charity; if an artist gets canceled because of a scandal, how would they recoup their investment?

"What if there’s no black history?"

"Then it shouldn’t be a big problem." Seong Taekyon and the two girls walked into the elevator. He rubbed his chin, recalling his encounter with Liu Xin’an earlier, "But he’s quite old, it’s a shame, if he were only younger by a decade or so... what a shame, truly."

"...."

Try not to laugh challenge, begin!

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan pinched their own thighs in sync.

They could endure much more than Bae Juhyun.

———

Back at home, Liu Xin’an still felt that today’s events were kind of absurd.

He had just sat down on the couch when his girlfriend’s video call came in.

The timing was so precise that Liu Xin’an suspected she might have put a camera in his house.

He picked up his phone, answered the call, and saw Bae Juhyun lying on her bed looking at him through the front camera. He raised an eyebrow.

"Did you install a camera?"

The woman on the screen frowned slightly in confusion, her lips parting lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did you get home?"

"I just got in, barely a minute ago. My butt had just touched the couch, and your call came in."

"Oh, really? You’re not lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? Tell me, did you hack into my home surveillance?"

His tease successfully made Bae Juhyun laugh, but before she could finish laughing, Son Seungwan peeked out from one side of the screen, showing just her forehead and a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Liu Xin’an, how does it feel to be given a business card by Taekyon oppa?"

"...Is your manager’s name Taekyon?"

"Yes, Seong Taekyon. Taekyon oppa has a sharp eye for talent, you know. Are you really not considering becoming an artist? If you come over, you’d have a chance to work with Juhyun unnie as colleagues."

Son Seungwan’s words made Bae Juhyun roll her eyes. She knew Seungwan too well; she was definitely just using her as an excuse. The real motive probably was... she wanted to hear Liu Xin’an call them seniors.

"Forget it. I’m not suited to be an artist. Besides, didn’t your Taekyon oppa suggest I become an actor? If I become an actor, what about Juhyun?"

"Huh? Me?" Bae Juhyun, who was just a bystander, pointed at herself with a confused expression, "What does it have to do with me?"

"If I do love scenes with other women, you wouldn’t mind..."

"You dare!" Bae Juhyun’s roar clearly conveyed her attitude.

This possessiveness made Liu Xin’an quite happy, but it was tough for Son Seungwan, who had moved closer to the screen.

Bae Juhyun’s voice wasn’t soft, and this close-up lion’s roar made Son Seungwan cover her ears painfully.

Red Velvet’s main vocalist should be Bae Juhyun; what was she doing here!

Defeated by the sonic attack, Son Seungwan chose to retreat. She had a premonition that the next segment would be filled with lovey-dovey moments.

Being single here would be a critical hit.

Speaking of which, when would she find a boyfriend?

With such thoughts troubling her, Son Seungwan walked out of Bae Juhyun’s bedroom. She sat beside Kang Seulgi, lazily leaning on her friend.

"Seulgi, tell me, when are we going to start dating?"

Kang Seulgi was nibbling on snacks. Hearing this, she choked and took a big gulp of water to sothe her throat, "Gulp... Ha~" The choking sensation finally eased, "Why suddenly ask this? Did Juhyun unnie and Liu Xin’an trigger you?"

"A bit, suddenly it seems like having a boyfriend would be nice, someone to lean on when you’re tired..."

"You can’t lean on me?"

"No, someone to listen when I need to vent..."

"I can’t listen to you vent?"

"Ugh, someone to hug me when I’m exhausted..."

Kang Seulgi hugged Son Seungwan with a big smile.

Son Seungwan sighed; that wasn’t what she meant at all.

Worrying about such things, the two sisters had no clue about Bae Juhyun’s recent outburst. At this moment, she was daydreaming about Liu Xin’an appearing on TV, and even imagining Liu Xin’an with a female co-star.

Just when the Liu Xin’an in her mind was about to kiss an unclear-faced actress, Liu Xin’an’s cough interrupted her fantasy.

"You didn’t catch my illness, did you?"

Liu Xin’an waved his hand but couldn’t stop coughing. After a while, he finally suppressed the cough, giving an awkward smile.

"I choked on my own saliva."

"...Geez, you’re doing it on purpose, knowing I don’t want to get you sick, pretending to make me worry?"

"No way." Liu Xin’an laughed in disbelief, adjusting his sitting position. Looking at the couch, he decided to lie down, holding the phone high.

The advantage of long arms was evident. He moved far from the screen, and even with the screen zoomed in, Bae Juhyun couldn’t see his face as clearly as before.

"Why are you holding it so high? If you drop it, it’ll hurt a lot."

"Don’t worry, I’m quick; I can dodge it."

"Hmph." Bae Juhyun snorted in frustration. She wanted to see more of her boyfriend’s handsome face but couldn’t bring herself to say it.

For some reason, whenever they were on screen, she couldn’t act as coy as she did when she was around Liu Xin’an in person.

Screen distance brought out a new persona in Juhyun.

The tsundere Juhyun.

"Before you go to bed tonight, make sure you take your medication again. When I felt your forehead this afternoon, you still had a slight fever; you’re not fully recovered."

"No!"

The beautiful woman on the screen pouted, giving a strange response.

Though Liu Xin’an wasn’t very experienced in relationships, he knew this was Juhyun throwing a little tantrum.

This was not the time to reason with her. The best approach was...

"If our Juhyun takes her meds on time, I’ll grant you one request, how about that?"

The man’s gentle persuasion made Juhyun’s eyes light up.

"Really?"

The tsundere Juhyun, though proud, was easy to please.

Once you grasped what she wanted, she’d instantly be all smiles.

"Of course, as long as it’s something I can do."

"Deal! I have work tomorrow, so after my job ends the day after, I’ll come see you, okay?"

"I’ll be waiting for you at home, uh... oh! And I need to buy a car."

"Wait until I join you to pick the car, don’t rush. You don’t need a car right now."

Liu Xin’an nodded instinctively but then shook his head.

"My mom’s coming to visit soon; I need to pick her up."

This response caught Juhyun off guard.

She had totally forgotten about that.
