Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1288 - 555: Liu Xin’an’s Missteps and the Upcoming Group Variety Show

Well prepared!

That's the deepest impression Liu Xin'an was left with after chatting with Ding Yu today.

Although Ding Yu's intentions were strong, interestingly, her objectives aligned perfectly with Liu Xin'an's goals.

So the subsequent discussion became very natural, with almost no disagreements. After chatting, Liu Xin'an and Ding Yu shook hands lightly and quickly reached an agreement.

Ah, although the goals aligned, they still haggled over the price for quite some time.

This was the moment for Jeong Jeyoon, the manager, to step in.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Jeong Jeyoon is only five years older than Liu Xin'an; when it comes to negotiating prices and making demands, he behaves like a seasoned veteran of this industry.

The person responsible for negotiating with Jeong Jeyoon was another man beside Ding Yu, who had been silent all along.

Both sides began to throw sincerity around wildly for their own interests, while Liu Xin'an and Ding Yu, the bosses, each had a cup of coffee and chatted leisurely on the side.

Having stepped out of work mode, Ding Yu seemed to revert to the familiar character Liu Xin'an knew.

She held the cup of iced Americano with both hands, her plump fingertips lightly rubbing against the cold cup, her gaze instinctively downcast as if she dared not look at the man before her.

This change amazed Liu Xin'an again.

"Out of work mode, back to the previous character?"

"...If you criticize me now, our budget will decrease."

"Hey, hey, hey."

Liu Xin'an was dumbfounded; though introverted, he was genuinely sharp.

He waved his hand with a bitter smile, refraining from gossiping about Ding Yu's changes, and instead became curious about the domestic fan community's opinions at the moment.

He actually considered diving into the Bae Juhyun fan group, but honestly... sometimes the comments in these fan groups truly made him uncomfortable.

S-M is indeed unfair in resource allocation, and truly they've always mistreated Bae Juhyun in work matters, but this is always S-M's problem, not really related to the members.

Yet many of Bae Juhyun's fans dislike the other members in her group, which, as a friend to these members, made Liu Xin'an feel uneasy.

Moreover, he knew very well how much Bae Juhyun cared about her sisters.

Even though everyone likes her, she wouldn't want to see fans who adore her disparaging her fellow members...

So not long after, Liu Xin'an exited the group.

Consequently, he lost the most direct channel to the Bae Juhyun fan community.

At this moment, Ding Yu in front of him was one of Bae Juhyun's fans, so getting insights on the recent situation from her was just perfect.

"If possible, could you tell me about the current opinions of Juhyun fans regarding me and her?"

Ding Yu took a sip of iced Americano and finally lifted her eyes to look at Liu Xin'an.

After a few seconds of silence, she spoke: "First, can you refer to her as Irene when talking to me about her?"

This request was unexpected for Liu Xin'an.

"The biggest issue people have with you is that at work, you always call Irene by Juhyun. We know Bae Juhyun is Irene's real name, and we hope she can live well as Bae Juhyun, but in her professional sphere, she is Irene, Red Velvet's Irene, not your Juhyun..."

As Ding Yu spoke, she became somewhat agitated, her fair face flushed red.

But as she finished her urgent plea, she quickly realized her previous outburst was excessive.

She bowed her head awkwardly, softly apologizing: "Ah... Sorry, I got carried away."

"No need to apologize; you are right, I'm the one who should apologize, sorry." Liu Xin'an, after some thought, solemnly responded without accepting Ding Yu's apology.

The serious tone surprised Ding Yu, but seeing Liu Xin'an's earnest expression, she seemed to understand.

After all, she knew better than anyone, the man before her indeed genuinely liked Irene.

Her sexual orientation wasn't an issue; she wished Irene could find an excellent man... This was something she understood back in Xiamen.

"Then please pay attention to this from now on... Irene belongs to all of us."

"Yes, I respect her work."

"We all know that, and we appreciate your support for Irene's work. If you two really reach the stage of marriage in the future, please make sure to inform us fans first, we will all offer our blessings."

"Is everyone happy to see me with her?"

The topic turned back to Liu Xin'an's initial inquiry.

This time, Ding Yu did not protest, but after thinking for a bit, she became somewhat embarrassed.

"Rather than saying everyone accepts you being with her... it's more like everyone knows Irene will eventually marry and have children, so rather than for her to choose a Korean man none could accept, it's better... cough, rather than... or no, anyway, being with Mr. Liu Xin'an is quite good."

This series of corrections made Liu Xin'an's mouth twitch; he could clearly sense that she initially wanted to 'concede' to him...

Well, he understood, it's fandom, after all.

"So if possible, everyone still hopes she remains single forever?"

"Yes, but that's not realistic, though I'm a non-marriage believer, I can't impose this idea on others."

"Very open-minded, huh."
