Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1039 - 472: Is Bae Juhyun Considered the Princess of JYP??
There really are many artists who become friends with their bosses, but most of these artists are under JYP.
Like those she knows, such as Dahyun, Nayeon, and Wang Jia'er, whom Li Chenglu likes a lot.
JYP himself was originally an artist, and he started the company primarily to create a better environment for his performances, especially since when he wanted to debut, the entertainment industry prioritized "handsome" as the primary criterion for selecting artists. For someone with his... less conventional looks, finding a suitable company to debut with was a difficult task.
Since the new world didn't offer him a ship, he decided to become the captain himself!
That's how JYP Entertainment gradually started at that time.
Precisely because of JYP's experience as an artist, he understands the life of an artist and knows how much motivation a good working environment can provide.
With such a considerate boss, artists who come from JYP typically aren't lacking in character or relationships.
Well... not absolutely all, but most.
Of course, having a boss who is also an artist has its downsides, namely that this boss often competes with his employees for the spotlight.
Fans who follow K-pop often know this joke, which is a common jab at the big three companies.
S-M: If you don't know who to have a comeback, let them all come back.
Y-G: If you don't know who to have a comeback, then just have no one come back.
And at JYP...
JYP: If you don't know who to have a comeback... then I'll come back myself!
Yes, this JYP doesn't just refer to the company but literally refers to JYP himself.
It's admirable that, even at 50 years old, JYP remains that elder artist with an unchanged love for singing and dancing.
All this proves that artists can indeed befriend their bosses.
But the problem is...
She's not from JYP!
As an artist from S-M Entertainment, crossing over several hurdles to invite a friend to her variety show only to find out that they're from a rival company's... president?
Isn't this a bit strange?
"Isn't it interesting?" Liu Xin'an shrugged, as a spectator, "This way you'll gain fame, and so will your uncle, it's a win-win!"
"Stop joking, are you going to reveal your relationship with your uncle?"
"Not really, just say we're friends. Anyway, no one will really investigate deeply why you and your uncle became close. If it doesn't work, just blame Nayeon and Dahyun. They know about our relationship with your uncle anyway."
One has to admit, Liu Xin'an's reasoning is quite convincing.
Bae Juhyun pondered in the direction suggested by Liu Xin'an and realized it might indeed make sense.
This thought seemed to have a magical quality; once it appeared, it took root in her heart and quickly grew into a towering tree.
Then, with excitement in her eyes, Bae Juhyun pursed her lips and looked timidly at her boyfriend, her tightly pressed lips slightly twitching.
"Why not... give it a try?"
"I'll make the call for you!" Liu Xin'an vividly demonstrated what it means to watch the drama unfold with glee.
Not only was he unbothered by the chaos, he even wanted to hand her the handle of the knife!
Saying this, he found his uncle's number and dialed it, since it was only early evening now, his uncle was likely still at the company or home playing with Young'eun and Youyun, so he was certainly not resting.
Meanwhile, Bae Juhyun took advantage of the lull while waiting for Park Jinyoung to answer the phone to take a deep breath and think about how to invite her uncle.
As the hair-raising ringtone ended, a gentle voice, entirely at odds with the face, came through the receiver.
"Xin'an~ What's up?"
In dealings with family, this president, who might seem quite imposing at work, is surprisingly kindly.
However, neither Liu Xin'an nor Bae Juhyun really knew what Park Jinyoung was like at the company, so they both felt very familiar with this version of Park Jinyoung.
Liu Xin'an didn't speak immediately but handed the phone towards Bae Juhyun, implying if she wanted to say something herself.
Unprepared, little Bae shook her head vigorously; she needed more time to get ready.
Seeing this, Liu Xin'an didn't urge his girlfriend, since he usually exchanged pleasantries over the phone with his uncle, asked about his aunt, Young'eun, and Youyun, and sometimes his uncle would even jokingly complain about not being cared for.
Truth be told, Liu Xin'an could handle it over the phone, but if he saw Park Jinyoung acting like that in person, he would really lose it.
Ahem, back to the point.
"Uncle still at the company?"
"Yes, your aunt took Young'eun and Youyun on a trip, so if I went back alone, it'd be boring. I've just been staying at the company lately."
"Oh wow, so uncle's been given the cold shoulder?"
"What cold shoulder? It's just that it'd be too conspicuous if I went along. Ah, being a public figure has its inconveniences."
"Wow, uncle's showing off."
"Hahahahaha."
"So you're not particularly busy lately?"
"Not really, why? Do you have something you need my help with? You seem a bit off."
Artists who have debuted for so long can all read the room.
In just a few interactions, Park Jinyoung seemed to discern the real intention behind Liu Xin'an's call.
Since he'd been found out, Liu Xin'an didn't hold back, glanced at his girlfriend, and upon seeing Bae Juhyun nod vigorously, flashed an excited smile.
