Chapter 411: 262. Xiao Pei also wants to go to China (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch Huiyi! 7.8/8)

Li Chenglu really didn’t expect that the talent agencies here would lower their bottom lines so much just to come to China.

No, that’s not quite accurate.

Actually, when it comes to money, the major agencies didn’t take any less, but compared to the exorbitant figures demanded domestically, it seemed like the people here had no sense of scale.

It was somewhat surprising to Li Chenglu how smoothly they were able to confirm the guests.

Of course, this was partly because all the invited artists were non-South Korean nationals, so everything went incredibly smoothly.

Since the work was done, Li Chenglu had already bought her ticket back home.

She was aware that Liu Xin’an was running around with Twice these days, but unfortunately, due to her own work, she didn’t get a chance to meet the members of Twice.

But after returning home this time, she would definitely go and watch the show during the filming.

Wendy, Momo, Lisa, and Yuqi.

What a top-tier lineup.

"You haven’t received the news yet? Haven’t they already started drafting the contract?"

"Uh... I guess it got intercepted by my dad."

"Oh, right."

Li Chenglu suddenly remembered this matter and gave an awkward smile.

An executive at a state-owned enterprise, besides holding a high company position, is also a deputy bureau-level official in the system...

And such an invitation for Liu Xin’an to appear on a variety show definitely wouldn’t escape Dad’s notice.

Whether this invitation could smoothly land in his hands would depend on whether his dad nodded in agreement.

Just as Liu Xin’an predicted, the collaboration contract, which should have passed review and been delivered to Liu Xin’an early, was now placed in front of Liu Zhengjiang.

Liu Zhengjiang initially didn’t know about this matter; it was only today that he received a call while at work. Out of curiosity, and wanting to screen it for his son, he intercepted the contract.

Don’t truly think Liu Zhengjiang had adopted a completely hands-off approach with Liu Xin’an. Over the years, as an online content creator, his son had received plenty of covert care from him.

Of course, he made sure his actions were completely legal and above board, merely breaking the hands trying to extort his son behind the scenes.

As a father, that’s reasonable, right?

"I’ll give my dad a call and ask. He’s probably waiting for my call too."

"Mm, remember to send my regards."

"Sure."

After hastily ending the call with Li Chenglu, Liu Xin’an looked up at the time.

At this hour, Dad definitely wouldn’t be asleep yet, plus the domestic time was an hour behind here.

He opened WeChat and quickly scrolled down the chat list. It took him quite a while to find his dad’s account with the lotus flower profile picture.

Don’t ask, it’s because Mom changed it. Would Liu Zhengjiang, the doting husband, dare to disobey?

Without hesitation, Liu Xin’an pressed the video call button.

After a short wait, "ding," the video call connected, and his dad’s face appeared on the screen.

"Dad, still up?"

This was just a rhetorical question.

Liu Zhengjiang nodded and placed the phone to the side, not minding the odd angle at which his face appeared on the screen.

"I checked your contract. There’s no problem with it."

"Oh! So it was indeed held up by you, Dad. I thought this job opportunity had slipped through my fingers."

"Is this the job you mentioned at home before, the one that could help Juhyun?"

Given the trendy nature of the entertainment industry, Liu Zhengjiang definitely couldn’t grasp it.

But since it concerned his approved daughter-in-law, Liu Zhengjiang paid extra attention.

"Yes, one of the artists coming to this event is Juhyun’s teammate."

"What about Juhyun?"

His dad’s follow-up question left Liu Xin’an somewhat at a loss for words. This matter wasn’t easy to explain.

"She’s currently in a dormant phase, so she can’t take on any jobs. Moreover, she definitely can’t accept domestic work."

"So she can’t come over for this show either?"

"Um... probably not. Her company doesn’t know about our relationship yet, without a legitimate reason, she wouldn’t be able to come."

Recalling Juhyun’s complaints, Liu Xin’an briefly explained to his dad.

This time, Liu Zhengjiang didn’t say anything further. He nodded and glanced at the contract on the table.

"Alright, anything else besides the contract?"

"No, Li Chenglu asked me to send her regards, and you and Mom should get some rest early."

"Mm."

The video call ended directly. Between father and son, there wasn’t much need for pleasantries. They got straight to the point and avoided those cringe-worthy, overly polite phrases.

After this call, he estimated he’d receive the approval message tomorrow.

Hmm... Speaking of which, now that the contract was finalized, would he need to take a trip back home to sign it?

Could such a contract be signed remotely?

This touched on Liu Xin’an’s knowledge gap. Back home, a trip to Shanghai was just a flight or a high-speed train ride away.

But now...

It still seemed to be just a flight away...

Shaking his head, Liu Xin’an discarded these needless worries.

If worse came to worst, he could take a trip back home. It wouldn’t be a hassle; being diligent, a round trip within the same day wouldn’t be an issue.

He sent Bae Juhyun a message, telling her he was about to do a short live stream. After waiting a while without a reply, he began preparing for the upcoming game stream.

Of course, even though he decided to stream, he wouldn’t go for an excessively long session.
