Chapter 374: 249. Temporary Agent (Subscribe! Monthly ticket please!)_3
At that moment, Liu Xin’an’s trait once again came into play.
His voice was earnest, his attitude sincere, and he very easily left a good first impression.
Han Jaeduk was one such person; he originally thought that this president’s nephew was here more out of a casual interest than anything serious, he even worried that the president’s nephew had set his sights on one of the group’s members.
But after this brief contact, Han Jaeduk began to feel ashamed for his earlier misjudgment.
"Uh... Jaeduk, what are you guys talking about? I can’t understand a word."
Im Nayeon felt her brain wasn’t quite keeping up; she could understand the words they were using individually, but when strung together, they made no sense to her at all.
Plus, it sounded like Liu Xin’an was going to be a bother to Jaeduk in the future...
Was this guy going to join their group, Twice??
If there were ten members, wouldn’t the formation and choreography be difficult to arrange?
"Ah, Nayeon, you guys don’t know who’s coming to the company today, right?"
"Apart from those with schedules, there’s me, Momo, Sana, and Jisoo."
"Then you go back first and gather everyone in the practice room, and I’ll explain Xin’an’s situation to you all."
"What’s the situation?" Im Nayeon, with eyes wide open, stood her ground without any intention of leaving.
Han Jaeduk, familiar with Im Nayeon’s personality, smiled helplessly; it was clear she wanted to hear the specifics before leaving.
Telling Nayeon first wasn’t such a bad idea.
"Xin’an will be joining you as a temporary manager for a while to follow your schedule. If you have any needs, you can bring them up during the show recordings, but on normal days, try not to bother Xin’an too much. He mostly wants to learn with me about what a manager should do."
"Oh..." Im Nayeon finally showed a look of realization, but quickly, a hint of confusion crossed her face.
Why would the president’s nephew want to be a manager for them? Was there another reason?
And... why aim to be a regular manager when with his relationship to Park Jinyoung, even debuting as an artist wouldn’t be difficult, right?
Moreover, this guy was genuinely good-looking, and Im Nayeon, as the top appearance connoisseur, fully acknowledged his attractiveness.
Not debuting would be such a waste!
"Ah, can I interrupt for a second?"
Just as Im Nayeon and Han Jaeduk finished their chat, Liu Xin’an suddenly spoke, attracting their unified attention.
"You go ahead, Xin’an."
"Erm... if it’s okay, contacting me on normal days is fine, too. Since I’m here to learn as a temporary manager, I might as well take on the work of one."
"... You sure? Managers need to be on call 24 hours, and during activities, you could be called upon at any time. As far as I know, you have your regular job, right?"
Han Jaeduk had heard rumors about the president’s nephew.
Park Jinyoung had once thought of bringing his nephew into the company as an artist, but Liu Xin’an declined, citing his regular job.
This wasn’t just known by Han Jaeduk; Im Nayeon also knew about it, she even heard Liu Xin’an refuse Park Jinyoung’s request in person.
But if he had a regular job and had already refused an offer to be an artist, why now take the initiative to be a mere temporary manager.
And one that required being on constant standby, the most burdensome kind at that...
Are children from wealthy families all this amazing?
"I can handle it." Liu Xin’an nodded, already having made the decision to push himself, so stepping out of his comfort zone was deemed necessary.
As for the live broadcasting, he could just make time for it.
He couldn’t guarantee the duration, and if worse came to worst, just take a hit on this month’s salary.
He had diligently streamed for two years; slacking off for a month, so what!
Okay, that reasoning might sound shameless, but this opportunity was rare, so he would have to ask his subscribers to bear with him for a while.
Besides, it wouldn’t be for too long, just a month at most.
"... I understand. I will bring this up with the president later."
Han Jaeduk felt a bit awkward. It was fine that Liu Xin’an agreed, but that didn’t mean Park Jinyoung would. He worked for Park Jinyoung; if he appeased Liu Xin’an but annoyed Park Jinyoung, he would be the one at a loss.
Han Jaeduk appreciated Liu Xin’an’s understanding; he nodded and gave Han Jaeduk a slight bow, quite serious in his gesture.
Since he was going to be a temporary employee at JYP for this period, he intended to adhere somewhat to the nearly pathological seniority and humility present here.
"Thanks, brother."
"No need, no need, just be casual."
Han Jaeduk’s face went pale; if people knew the president’s nephew was acting so respectful in front of him... would his job still be secure?
Im Nayeon stared blankly at the scene unfolding before her until Han Jaeduk coughed, reminding her she had something to do.
"Ah! I’ll go gather everyone now. Jaeduk, you can bring Mr. Liu Xin’an over later, can you give us a bit of time to prepare?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Im Nayeon nodded, smiled at the two men, and trotted off.
Watching Im Nayeon’s excited departure, Han Jaeduk displayed a smile of resignation.
"Jaeduk, could you briefly let me know about the members? I’ve done my homework, but surely I don’t know as much as you."
"Ah, the members... The one who led you here was called Im Nayeon; she’s the oldest member of the group. Although not the leader, she often takes on the leader’s responsibilities... But she’s quite easygoing, one of the lively types. You’ve seen how quickly she warms up to people; if you’re curious about any member, you can ask Nayeon."
Liu Xin’an nodded, quietly forming an initial impression of this girl called Im Nayeon in his mind.
"What about the other members?"
"The rest... Park Jisoo, she’s the official team leader, but she’s two years younger than Nayeon..."
