Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1300 - 559: Speculating the Mastermind, and Uncle’s Little Plot

To be honest, after being an entertainer for so many years, everyone still has a sense of crisis.

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan could both sense it, so naturally, Bae Juhyun, also a member of the group, noticed it immediately.

Liu Xin'an was just about to wake up the sleeping Bae Juhyun when he saw her frowning intently, with a serious expression, scrolling through her phone.

At first, Liu Xin'an didn't think about the matter Kang Seulgi and the others mentioned earlier; he just thought Bae Juhyun had read some negative comments about herself again.

His girlfriend is like that; even though she's quite fragile at times, she still forces herself to read the comments that break her heart.

He felt both helpless and amused.

"Are you looking at some annoying comments again? Seulgi and the others are here, aren't you getting up?"

Bae Juhyun shook her head, then threw off the covers and jumped out of bed quickly.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

This unusual behavior left Liu Xin'an puzzled, and he reached out to grab his girlfriend's slender wrist, asking what's going on.

"Something's not right, the online comments are a bit strange."

"...Are you talking about the comments on your show?"

"Yes."

"I saw that most of them were good, praising the show's effects and beauty, and people are looking forward to future episodes."

Bae Juhyun showed her phone to Liu Xin'an, and he glanced at it, his eyes filled with surprise.

"You feel it's strange, too?"

This time, Liu Xin'an didn't stop Bae Juhyun but released his hand, letting his girlfriend leave the bedroom.

Most of what he just mentioned were domestic comments.

Compared to the celebration and self-indulgence from domestic fans and his own circle, the Korean side seemed a bit... off.

He hurriedly followed Bae Juhyun out, who was already sitting next to her two sisters.

"Did Taekyon say anything?"

"Seulgi called Taekyon in the morning, but Taekyon said it has nothing to do with us and told us not to make any random statements. They also re-reviewed the upcoming episodes and cut a lot of potentially controversial content."

"Ah..."

Bae Juhyun held her head in frustration.

Perhaps their over-activity in the past two years has made their peers a bit uneasy.

These past couple of years, it's no longer just the big three agencies dominating the industry; many smaller agencies are starting to stand out with their viral groups.

With so many wolves and so little meat, everyone understands, and this time, their closeness with China has become a starting point.

A starting point to attack S-M.

Whether the company can withstand this wave of hype, Bae Juhyun doesn't care in the slightest.

What she truly cares about is whether Red Velvet will become the scapegoat in this storm.

If they really get tied to politics, even a few lives wouldn't be enough, though... they kind of already are.

"Is it that troublesome?"

"Hmm... Let's say, your competitor website is questioning the structure behind your site because you're getting close to us... leveraging public suspicion, isn't that quite troublesome?"

Liu Xin'an shivered. This isn't just troublesome; it's downright frightening.

"Are you saying..."

"Yes, right now there are a lot of trolls stirring things up, trying to forcibly tie us, the company, and the power behind you to China. You know... many of our country's people are..."

Son Seungwan responded, speaking very discreetly, but Liu Xin'an could clearly grasp the meaning behind it.

He sat down, sighed, and looked at Bae Juhyun with a concerned gaze: "Will it have a big impact?"

"Not sure, we don't know what their intentions are... have we been too active lately? Then they should attack us, why go after the company."

"Then they're targeting your company, right?"

"That's even more confusing; could someone have plans for our company?"

They exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

S-M is such a massive entity, even back in 2014, it was only a minor headache for S-M.

Moreover, moving against S-M requires constant vigilance for the company's retaliation.

They, as artists, know their company's style all too well.

No matter how much they tried, they couldn't figure it out.

Yet as an outsider, Liu Xin'an seemed to sense something unusual.

"Maybe someone really has plans for your company... like causing stock price fluctuations and taking advantage of it."

"The risk is even higher; I don't quite understand."

"Alright, let's not think about those things. Let the big shots worry about it. We just need to do our jobs well. Seungwan, go call Yerin and Sooyoung. I need to... never mind, let's just go over there."

Bae Juhyun put down her phone and casually tidied her messy long hair, habitually giving orders.

But after glancing at Liu Xin'an, she changed her mind and decided to hold the meeting at her home.

It wasn't that she didn't want Liu Xin'an to hear anything; it was just... this had nothing to do with Liu Xin'an at all.

As Bae Juhyun, the woman, she could enjoy Liu Xin'an's protection and affection.

But now, she is Red Velvet's leader, Irene. In the entertainment industry, she's still Liu Xin'an's senior.

How could a senior let a junior protect them?
