Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1287 - 554: Ding Yu’s Thorough Preparation

He didn't plan to tell his fans about the contract signing with his uncle, and likewise, his uncle wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

After all, it's a really small matter, not something worth making a fuss about.

That afternoon, Jeong Jeyoon contacted Tiffany and informed her of Liu Xin'an's decision.

Since he had agreed, they immediately started preparing the signing-related matters.

It must be said that in terms of efficiency, both sides... or rather all three sides, were surprisingly fast.

Just the third day after Liu Xin'an signed with JYP, he met Ding Yu again, as well as the two young men beside her.

This time they didn't go to S-M, but chose a very elegantly quiet café.

Similarly, Bae Juhyun wasn't by his side this time. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Without Bae Juhyun's idol aura, Ding Yu seemed a bit lackluster today.

But her basic etiquette was still very much on point.

"It seems Mr. Liu Xin'an has made up his mind."

"What's that supposed to mean? If I hadn't decided, why would we meet here?"

Liu Xin'an shrugged, chuckling as he teased.

The well-timed joke brought a smile to Ding Yu's face, and the two people beside her even burst into laughter.

They're all young people, so this level of joking doesn't feel offensive in the slightest.

This joke instantly brought them closer.

Liu Xin'an lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on the documents in front of him, and he casually asked, "Ms. Ding Yu... are you mainly in charge of our domestic business?"

"Correct."

"Since you're in charge of the domestic business..."

Liu Xin'an seemed to have detected another motive of Ding Yu.

He hadn't just been resting at home these past few days; he had looked up quite a bit of information about Ding Yu.

The data showed Ding Yu indeed comes from a prominent family. From the fact she got a complete set of Red Velvet albums, it was clear she had her own channels.

Her social anxiety wasn't an act either, but Liu Xin'an didn't understand why Ding Yu had transformed from a socially anxious person to a strong woman exuding a full-on boss lady vibe.

Moreover... Ding Yu's role as Tiffany's Asian head only began in earnest after that fan meeting.

In other words, the meeting with Bae Juhyun in Xiamen had a significant impact on Ding Yu's subsequent arrangements.

Liu Xin'an couldn't confirm this idea, but it was highly probable.

"The shooting location this time is domestic."

The moment Ding Yu spoke these words, Liu Xin'an suddenly understood all the reasons.

"So... it's partly for personal reasons, huh?"

When he said this, Liu Xin'an didn't care about the gaze of the two young men beside Ding Yu.

Generally speaking, what's most taboo in the workplace is mixing work with personal life.

Needless to say, Ding Yu's actions could be seen as using her power for personal gain.

But Liu Xin'an was certain the two men with Ding Yu were her friends, meaning they could speak openly.

As for Jeong Jeyoon by his side...

This person could understand Chinese, but he was one of them, so there was no need to worry.

"...Yes, the main reason for initially deciding to have you and Irene endorse our new product was that I wanted to give Irene a chance to work domestically."

Ding Yu was slightly surprised, but since he had already noticed, she admitted it candidly.

Liu Xin'an's directness also made the two men beside Ding Yu's eyes light up.

Although they had long heard from Ding Yu that Liu Xin'an was smart, had high emotional intelligence, and excellent observation skills, witnessing his keen side was still surprising.

"Having a fan like you is truly an honor for Red Velvet."

"You're exaggerating; I just hope to see her a few more times domestically."

Ding Yu's casual response left Liu Xin'an even more amazed, as he parted his lips, showing a curious expression.

"I'm more curious about what happened during this time to bring about such a big change in you."

"...I think any introverted and shy person could gradually step out of social anxiety after over a month of non-stop training."

"Impressive."

Ding Yu smiled, silently accepting Liu Xin'an's compliment.

"Is it just about shooting photo spreads and endorsement videos domestically?"

"Of course not; we're also planning to take this opportunity to have both of you participate in some domestic variety shows."

Ding Yu opened the tablet in front of her, turned it around to face Liu Xin'an.

Then, a series of program names made Liu Xin'an wide-eyed.

It's not that these programs were particularly surprising. The largest barrier to performing domestically was never a lack of invitations, but other reasons.

Could Ding Yu handle this?

The doubt in his eyes was well-received by Ding Yu, who pursed her lips with a gentle smile: "From what I know... this program isn't just being led by S-M and Mr. Liu Xin'an, right?"

Liu Xin'an didn't verbally acknowledge, but his silence revealed many answers.

Yes, this year was crucial for relations between China and Korea.

The 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties provided many opportunities for exchange between the two countries. Notably, Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun, who were quite favored among the youth, had a bit of privilege.

And Ding Yu merely nudged things along after realizing this.

"Taking this chance, I think it could be a good time to try something new; what do you think?"

Liu Xin'an smirked, spreading his hands in helplessness.

This fan is indeed a dedicated Bae Juhyun supporter.

She's thoroughly prepared.
