Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1301 - 559: Speculating the Mastermind, and Uncle’s Little Plot

Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi nodded in unison, but instead of leaving, they both turned their gaze toward Liu Xin'an with perfect synchronization.

Of course, they weren't hoping Liu Xin'an would join in on Red Velvet's internal discussions. The main reason they came over so early today hadn't been achieved yet.

Liu Xin'an understood as well. Having been in this circle for so long, he certainly had the ability to read the room.

"Noodles with meat sauce?"

The two showed satisfied expressions and then left.

After they left, Bae Juhyun lazily yawned and collapsed onto Liu Xin'an.

"So annoying~"

"Is it a big deal?"

"Hard to say, but there's nothing we can do about it. If it turns out to be something very troublesome, I'll just have to rely on you to support me in the future~"

"No problem, I can afford it."

"Hehe~"

———

Just as Bae Juhyun mentioned, matters concerning the company's future development were not something a small group like theirs could participate in.

Therefore, the members of Red Velvet strictly adhered to their leader Bae Juhyun's orders, refraining from speaking recklessly on social media and being very cautious in public.

Even the messages they usually send to fans on Bubble needed to be carefully reviewed by Bae Juhyun before being posted.

During this period, their group variety show continued to air as usual, and Liu Xin'an kept livestreaming while watching it with the fans.

He could ensure not to say anything strange, and as for the livestream's comments... the moderators would enforce strict control.

Just like that, a month went by without anyone noticing.

The Chengdu arc of the group variety show had mostly aired, and thanks to previous leaks, everyone knew that Liu Xin'an would be participating throughout the Xiamen arc, keeping the livestream's popularity high.

Over at S-M, Liu Xin'an had been paying close attention, but even Bae Juhyun just felt a strange atmosphere in the company without being able to pinpoint why.

However, Liu Xin'an had a second source of information.

That was his uncle, Park Jinyoung.

As the head of JYP, he knew more inside information than people like Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun.

So when Liu Xin'an called to ask, he didn't hold back much and briefly explained to Liu Xin'an.

"There's a company looking to mess with S-M."

"...That's just like we suspected."

"Anyway, it's none of your business. Just work earnestly with Juhyun, and don't express any opinions in public. Just wait."

"Can't you tell me more specifics, Uncle?"

"The specifics haven't surfaced yet, but wait a bit. It's probably Kakao."

Then, Liu Xin'an relayed this information to Bae Juhyun, earning a cold snort from her.

"Yeah, we kind of knew about this!"

"Oh? Did you know it was Kakao who wanted to act?"

"...?"

Well, Liu Xin'an had indeed provided Bae Juhyun with insider info she wasn't aware of.

"Kakao?"

"Yes, that's what Uncle said, but don't tell anyone else."

No sooner had Liu Xin'an said this than he heard uncontrollable laughter on the other end of the phone.

Great, it seems he was too late.

"Who's next to you?"

"Me!"

Kang Seulgi's voice came through the phone to Liu Xin'an's ears.

Seulgi was fine; she was known for being tight-lipped.

Though she could be unreliable at times, she was very sensible about big matters.

"How's the atmosphere in your company right now?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Well... everyone is pretty secretive. Manager Kim just told us to focus on our work."

"Then just follow the instructions. Our show..."

"Has to be recorded! This can't be delayed!"

Liu Xin'an was momentarily speechless. Currently, the romance show with Bae Juhyun was about to start filming. Although the project was still circulating among only a few people, once filming started, some inside information would inevitably leak out.

At this point in time, if the romance show with Bae Juhyun were to be revealed, some who wanted to harm S-M might seize this opportunity.

To Liu Xin'an, whether S-M thrived or failed was irrelevant to him; he only cared about Bae Juhyun, or rather, Red Velvet.

He didn't want to be used as a pawn.

"Hmm... let's just follow the company's arrangements for now."

"Sure~"

Bae Juhyun agreed very obediently, while Liu Xin'an, on this side of the phone, had a somewhat nuanced expression.

First, get himself and Bae Juhyun out of this storm!

———

The planned recording time for the romance show was after the first episode of the Xiamen arc aired.

And now, without anyone realizing it, it was late September, with October just a week away.

Red Velvet's next comeback date was also set, at the end of November.

Uncle's new song was scheduled for mid-November.

They wouldn't directly clash head-on, but there would be some opportunities for them to appear on the same stage.

So, early on, Park Jinyoung sent the invitation to S-M, specifically to Manager Kim's email.

Bae Juhyun was a member of Red Velvet, and Red Velvet was directly managed by Manager Kim. Hence, any authorization would need to be coordinated with Manager Kim.

Now that Bae Juhyun and Park Jinyoung's relationship was widely known, Manager Kim had no intention of refusing such a small request and easily agreed.
