Chapter 396: 257. Bae Juhyun —— Naive Little Foreigner (Subscribe please!)

The three of them chatted casually as they finished the lunch that felt torturous to eat, washed it down with some water to rid the dry feeling, and Liu Xin’an handed out a few tissues to the two before curiously asking.

"Are we going to continue shooting soon?"

If he remembered correctly, when the director had told them to take a break earlier, there were still a few sets of photos that hadn’t been shot...

They would likely need to shoot the rest before wrapping up, which meant that there was probably more photography to come.

"We should be about done, it won’t take too long, Nayeon, after you’re done eating, get ready to continue shooting, and don’t fall asleep."

"I know, I know, you can just teach Xin’an, Jaeduk, why do you have to take this opportunity to scold me?"

Im Nayeon pouted, clearly unwilling.

She had been in the industry for so many years, wasn’t it obvious that she couldn’t sleep right after lunch?

It wasn’t that this practice was unhealthy, it’s just that as an artist, if she were to sleep right after eating, finding her artist’s energy again upon waking up would be a troublesome matter.

She still had work to do in the afternoon, and if she were to sleep, it would have to be after the photoshoot and on the way back to the company.

The interview wasn’t so urgent, and taking a short break to recharge was fine.

"Ahem." Pointed out directly by Im Nayeon, Han Jaeduk felt somewhat embarrassed, and he laughed awkwardly, looking at Liu Xin’an, who was smiling, "As long as you understand me."

"Thank you, Jaeduk."

"It’s nothing."

After lunch, and having sipped some more water, a well-rested Im Nayeon didn’t inquire too much about Liu Xin’an’s girlfriend.

Work came first.

After ample rest, the following shoot went very smoothly. After wrapping up in a coat and checking the day’s work in front of the camera to his satisfaction, Han Jaeduk, together with Im Nayeon and Liu Xin’an, said goodbye to the director and left.

On the way back, Han Jaeduk took over the driving as Im Nayeon planned to catch some sleep, so he undertook the task.

After all, he was professional in this area.

The small curtain was drawn, and Im Nayeon curled up in the back seat, falling into a deep sleep.

Liu Xin’an held a booklet, which had the work content he recorded for the day.

"There’s no need to be so serious, the president’s intention was for you to learn more about the variety show filming process, are you really taking the agent work to heart?"

Glancing at the earnest Liu Xin’an out of the corner of his eye, Han Jaeduk laughed softly.

To not disturb the resting Im Nayeon in the back, Han Jaeduk kept his voice very low.

"I also need to understand the work of an agent, Jaeduk, don’t worry about me, I’m fine."

"Uh... Okay then."

Han Jaeduk wasn’t worried about Liu Xin’an becoming tired; he was more concerned that Liu Xin’an might feel a sense of inequality.

Calling it nicely, an agent’s job is an agent, but speaking bluntly, it’s not much different from a personal assistant.

What does an assistant do?

They prepare everything for the artist concerning food, clothing, accommodation, and travel, and they must be at the artist’s beck and call... In plain terms, it’s a tough job.

What was Liu Xin’an’s status? Although Han Jaeduk didn’t know the details of Liu Xin’an’s family, he was certain that a family able to raise someone as modest as Liu Xin’an was definitely not an ordinary one.

For such an outstanding person to be willing to lower himself and accompany Im Nayeon on these schedules... He really feared that Liu Xin’an might feel resentful inside.

"The interview this afternoon, is it a formal one? Do we need to prepare anything in advance?"

"Once we get back, Nayeon will change clothes first, and then we’ll get an outline of today’s interview questions from the staff in charge."

"You mean questions for the interview?" Liu Xin’an seemed to understand.

"Yes, because we need to eliminate some questions that might upset Nayeon, as you know, there are many taboo topics in the entertainment industry that can’t be mentioned, like dating and such..."

"Does Nayeon have a boyfriend?"

"Ah, no, not Nayeon, someone else."

Liu Xin’an was a bit confused; what did other people’s romances have to do with Im Nayeon?

"What’s that got to do with Nayeon?"

"Journalists just want to see Nayeon show that kind of ridiculous expression."

"Hiss..." For a moment, Liu Xin’an felt his worldview shaken.

After a smooth trip back to JYP headquarters, as agreed upon with Han Jaeduk, the just-awakened Im Nayeon went upstairs to change clothes, while Liu Xin’an followed Han Jaeduk to meet with the media in charge of the interview.

Having received a detailed outline of the interview questions, Han Jaeduk carefully picked out potentially ambiguous or sensitive questions and expressed dissatisfaction with the media in a very serious manner.

Liu Xin’an, watching from the side, was amazed; indeed, Han Jaeduk possessed an air of authority when he scolded others with a stern face.

With Han Jaeduk’s outburst, the interview went exceptionally well.

The media, mostly sly, thrive on figuring out such amiable characters; artists can’t lose their temper, but agents are specially made for these tasks.

It didn’t matter to them, because as long as there was someone who cared about saving face and wouldn’t get angry, they would benefit from asking something newsworthy.

Both parties played their cards fully, and both achieved what they wanted from the exchange.

After the interview, Liu Xin’an’s work for the day was completely finished.

Well... of course, he would have to come back if Im Nayeon had any issue, but as always said, Im Nayeon wouldn’t go out of her way to bother Liu Xin’an for other reasons.
