"If the opportunity arises, I hope to see all of you on the cover in the future."

"That would be really exciting."

"Hahaha~"

Son Seungwan chatted fluently in English with the gentleman in front of her, and after a light handshake, Bae Juhyun and the others got up at the right moment, politely smiling as they bid farewell.

After the representative left, the four women visibly relaxed.

Seong Taekyon, who had been quietly waiting on the side, also showed a relieved expression.

He took a deep breath, smiled warmly, and praised those who had been working hard for nearly an hour and a half.

"You've worked hard, that's all for the morning schedule."

"That's it... it's already 11:30, Taekyon oppa."

Son Seungwan took a big gulp of water, then jokingly remarked.

She probably worked the hardest, acting as a half-interpreter throughout the entire interview, translating for the members.

It's not that they didn't have a professional translator, but sometimes the translator couldn't convey their most sincere answers, so Son Seungwan had to step in.

Yeah, it's like Seungwan found work for herself, even though she could have slacked off...

There's no helping it, people with high standards for themselves are often like this.

"Let's go have lunch first; we still have work later."

"Ah~"

They all groaned simultaneously, but didn't forget to line up and orderly leave the room.

There was still plenty of time, more than enough to find a decent restaurant for lunch.

Before long, Seong Taekyon led everyone to a nice little Western restaurant.

The place wasn't crowded, and the décor was rather cozy.

After everyone ordered what they wanted for lunch, Bae Juhyun sat in the corner, browsing her phone and gently biting her finger.

In the meantime, Liu Xin'an had just finished watching her second show episode during his livestream.

It was noon on their side.

For Liu Xin'an, it was 8 PM.

Yes, Liu Xin'an was still streaming at this time.

"Xin'an oppa is working?"

Kim Yerin, sitting next to her, leaned over; honestly, this kind of directly peeking at someone else's phone is quite rude, but Bae Juhyun didn't get mad at Yerin for doing this.

After all, from the day Yerin joined the company, she treated her like a daughter...

Calling her "Mama Bae" wouldn't be an exaggeration!

"Yeah."

Bae Juhyun uttered softly and didn't stay in the livestream room but turned off her phone and looked at Seong Taekyon, who was sitting on the side.

"Taekyon oppa, how's the data looking?"

"Not much different from the premiere; retention is still high, and the reviews are great. The chemistry between you and Yuqi has also caught a lot of fans' interest."

After all, fans of Bae Juhyun know she doesn't have many friends.

Now, Bae Juhyun has made a friend, moreover, a popular figure from (G)I-dle, Song Yuqi. Everyone's thrilled, of course.

Oh, there's also a portion of fans who are elated because Yuqi has gained a lot of new fans this year.

Liking Yuqi and Bae Juhyun doesn't conflict, besides, who doesn't love seeing pretty faces together?

"Yuqi really knows how to create a great show, she's incredible."

When mentioning Song Yuqi, Bae Juhyun didn't hold back her praise.

But her words made the three younger sisters feel uneasy.

How to put it... Bae Juhyun's compliments are actually not rare; during practice or work, she warmly praises the members who do well.

Calling her a genuine Red Velvet super fan isn't an exaggeration.

But...

It's rare for Bae Juhyun to praise others.

Especially complimenting someone on their variety show effect.

The most unconvinced ones were Son Seungwan and Kim Yerin.

Kidding aside, even if they didn't cover 80% of the laughs in their group variety shows up to the upcoming fifth season, they surely accounted for 60%?

What did Bae Juhyun mean by her words, kicking someone to the curb after using them?

"There's a new younger sister, now you don't like the old ones anymore."

Kim Yerin's jealous words made Bae Juhyun chuckle, she tousled Yerin's long hair affectionately and teased, "Getting jealous?"

"No, I'm just a silly younger sister who doesn't know how to create great show effects."

"Hmm, quite an accurate self-description." As a "Mama Bae", you wouldn't really think she only spoils her kids, right?

When it's time to knock some sense, you knock some sense; when it's time to bully, you bully!

Sure enough, Kim Yerin became disgruntled right away.

Not comforting her is one thing, but teaming up to tease her?

No way, she needed to find an ally!

She turned her gaze pleadingly toward Son Seungwan, but...

"You better reflect on yourself, Yerin."

Kim Yerin felt dumbfounded, looking totally bewildered.

Generally, at times like this, isn't Son Seungwan supposed to team up with her?

Why did she suddenly change her stance?

"Hahahahaha."

Kang Seulgi's uproarious laughter brought Kim Yerin back to her senses, and the youngest sister, looking upset, angrily jabbed a piece of apple with her fork and shoved it into her mouth.

Hmm... sisters often have rapport.

For example... when it comes to picking on the younger sister.

The busy schedule didn't leave any spare time for Bae Juhyun to casually chat with Liu Xin'an.

When she was on break, Liu Xin'an was working hard, and when he finished streaming and prepared to chat with Bae Juhyun before bed, she was already getting ready for her next job.
