Chapter 697: **358. A Little Surprise (Thanks to Fantasy Feathers for the Silver Alliance Hierarch! 22/40)**

Unlike the enthusiastic fans in China, the fans in Bae Juhyun and the others’ home market mostly preferred to buy the album after its release. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the local fans wasn’t particularly noticeable during the pre-sale period.

But the lack of noticeable enthusiasm didn’t mean the local fans were not supportive.

"370,000..."

Just past midnight, Seong Taekyon walked into the practice room and announced this number to the eagerly waiting members in the room.

He then saw the five beautiful women in front of him wide-eyed with surprise.

"370,000? Just for tonight?" Son Seungwan doubted her ears and couldn’t help but ask again.

"Yes, 370,000."

"Oh my god..."

They all exclaimed in unison, and then joy rapidly surged through them.

Soon, the practice room echoed with their excited celebrations.

Red Velvet had been suppressed by Twice and BlackPink for many years.

Being the third among the three big girl groups had always left a bitter feeling in Bae Juhyun’s heart.

Their agency was supposed to be the most famous in the country, yet their achievements couldn’t surpass JYP and YG... This had always been a thorn in their hearts.

But now, the nearly 400,000 sales on the first day announced one thing.

That this time, their comeback had a chance to surpass a million in album sales.

(In reality, "Queendom" first-day sales were 130,000+)

"Were most of the sales from China?"

"Close to 300,000."

Seong Taekyon replied slowly, and the number once again left Bae Juhyun and the others dumbfounded.

In recent years, the popular girl groups couldn’t do without the support from China. But Red Velvet, which was only relatively popular in Korea, had always been at a disadvantage in this respect.

Their group didn’t even have a proper foreign artist. Son Seungwan could barely count, but she had lived in Korea for a longer time.

Lacking a foreign member, they lost the advantage in international markets.

But this time... After making a big splash in China, Bae Juhyun and the others finally gained the favor of Chinese fans.

"It would be great if we could have activities in China."

"Yeah... I really want to thank the fans."

Everyone was speaking with a bit of regret, and Bae Juhyun was already holding her phone to report the good news to Liu Xin’an.

"Alright, go back and rest. There are tons of activities waiting for you tomorrow. Everyone, get some good rest. We need to seize this opportunity and strive for even better results!"

"Yes!" X5

...

"370,000! 370,000!!"

"Yes, yes, I know it’s 370,000. Aren’t you going to rest?"

Looking at the excited woman on his phone screen, Liu Xin’an smiled indulgently and chided her.

"How can I sleep? Do you know what 370,000 means?"

Sleep? With excitement completely taking over her mind, Bae Juhyun had no mood for sleeping.

Since returning to the dorm, she hadn’t stopped. First, she called her parents to report the good news. After all, they had always been worried about her. Upon hearing the great results, her parents could finally sleep well.

Then, she replied to congratulatory messages from her friends one by one. It wasn’t a secret, and people in the industry soon knew about it.

After replying to everyone, Bae Juhyun finally found time to video call Liu Xin’an.

And thus, came the scene described above.

"What does it mean?" Liu Xin’an genuinely didn’t understand, so he cooperated with Bae Juhyun by asking.

"A super, super, super amazing result!"

At a loss for words, Bae Juhyun emphasized her tone with three "supers," but she couldn’t brag too much. Their million sales came later compared to the other two from their era.

But good results are worth the wait!

"Congratulations to you all."

"Hehehe, it’s all thanks to the passionate Chinese fans. It would be great if we could meet the fans in China face-to-face in the future." After the excitement, Bae Juhyun became a little melancholy and sighed.

"Uh... Didn’t you select a few fans for an online fan meeting today? You even opened a back door for Li Chenglu. Aren’t you afraid fans will complain?"

"An online fan meeting can only accommodate at most ten fans. We want to have a concert in China."

"Uh... That seems unlikely."

"Sigh~" Bae Juhyun knew it wasn’t very realistic. She sighed and soon smiled brightly again.

No matter what, this solid achievement gave them a strong boost despite many issues that had caused them to hesitate.

"I’m going to wash up now. See you tomorrow!"

"Alright, go ahead."

As the video call ended, Bae Juhyun’s good mood also affected Liu Xin’an. He took out his phone, found a screenshot of the news about Bae Juhyun’s group’s first-day sales, and sent it to his family group chat.

Bae Juhyun’s parents had been concerned about her comeback, and Liu Xin’an’s family had also been just as anxious.

At this time, neither Park Jinsuk nor Liu Zhengjiang had gone to bed.

Even though they didn’t fully understand album sales, the news seemed professional enough.

They might not get the numbers, but they could certainly understand the praise.

Very quickly, words of congratulations filled the family group chat.

Bae Juhyun was also in the group, and since Park Jinsuk was posting in Korean, which she could understand, Bae Juhyun shyly joined the chat and sent an embarrassed emoji.
