Finally, she gently pushed open the room door.

The familiar face in front of her brought a comfortable smile to her face. It had been two years since she last met with Lee Yeonju to film the program.

"Good afternoon~"

"Good afternoon, it's been a long time, Red Velvet everyone."

"The PD looks even more beautiful, any good news lately?"

"Good news lately... of course, it's having the chance to film with such beautiful people again. Is there anything better than that in the world?"

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, the audience might think it's fake."

"Hahahahaha."

Since they were very close, this Chocolate PD had been in charge of their group shows before, so everyone felt relaxed working with this old friend.

Bae Juhyun led the members to take a seat, then she glanced at the cameras with a helpless expression.

"Is this pre-filming going to be broadcast too?"

"Of course, alright, have you all heard about the location for this recording?"

"China!"

Son Seungwan replied eagerly. Every time they filmed a group show, she was always the most excited one, and this time was no exception.

"That's right, it's China. Here's our compiled list of travel destinations, and the plan for this trip is seven days and six nights. Due to time constraints, we can only select two locations to visit."

When the production team placed the stack of documents on the table, Bae Juhyun and the others exchanged glances filled with deep skepticism.

This wasn't their first collaboration with the production team, and they knew this team would never let them easily pick their most desired destinations. So, even after being informed by the production team, they all turned to Bae Juhyun to see what the group's leader would do.

Bae Juhyun was also very hesitant. She first picked up the documents prepared by the production team's research, flipped through them randomly, closed them, and started negotiating with the production team.

"Actually, we also have our own ideas for this trip's destination. Can't we just say it directly, and then have the PD negotiate with the manager?"

As expected of a mature artist with years of experience, Bae Juhyun's words left Lee Yeonju momentarily dumbfounded.

She showed a helpless expression, and the hearty laughter coming from the earpiece deepened the helplessness on her face.

"So, where do the members want to go? Everyone can say one place."

"Hong Kong!" Park Sooyoung answered first.

Many of her Chinese fans praised her as having a Cantonese style, so she had been very interested in Hong Kong for a long time.

"I want to go to Chengdu, to see giant pandas."

"Ah! I also want to see giant pandas!"

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan raised their hands in sync. Besides the delicious food, their first choice was, of course, the world-renowned giant pandas.

This was a Chinese national treasure, a clumsy panda well admired by everyone that was hard to find elsewhere.

"I want to go to the north." Kim Yerin gave a completely different answer.

Then, her suggestion was rejected by several older sisters.

"Too cold."

"Not going."

"Rejected."

Having been consecutively rebutted by the three older sisters, Kim Yerin looked at Bae Juhyun innocently. She didn't need to persuade others, she just needed to convince Bae Juhyun.

She then feigned naturalness and muttered, "Isn't the capital and Tianjin considered the north? If we could go to those two cities, that'd be great."

The capital was a different case; there was a high probability they wouldn't be able to go there since it was the capital, best to avoid if possible.

But Tianjin was different.

Because... Bae Juhyun's boyfriend Liu Xin'an happened to be from Tianjin.

This was something everyone knew well.

If there was a chance to visit Liu Xin'an's hometown properly, would Bae Juhyun refuse?

One must say, Kim Yerin's calculation was very sharp, even Liu Xin'an, who was watching the screen from the room next door, heard everything clearly.

But Bae Juhyun wasn't someone easily manipulated by her younger member.

If she wanted to go to Tianjin, she could go anytime, no need to waste precious group show time.

Besides, even if they went, could she visit Park Jinsuk and others during the recording?

Not realistic.

"As for me... I want to go to Xiamen."

Compared to the members' research, she had actually made a phone call to ask for Li Chenglu's opinion.

How could anything found online compare to recommendations from locals?

"Xiamen?"

This was a city everyone didn't really know about. As the searching queen, Son Seungwan took out her phone and quickly found introductions about Xiamen.

"It's in a place called Fujian... have you heard of it?"

"No."

"Why did Juhyun choose this place?"

Bae Juhyun "hmm..." for a moment, then gave her answer.

"I asked a friend, she said Gulangyu is a particularly, particularly beautiful place, and if we have the chance, it's best to go there and have a look."

"Gulangyu... Oh! Really beautiful!"

When Son Seungwan, after asking Bae Juhyun, entered "Gulangyu" pinyin into the search bar, all sorts of beautiful pictures flooded in.

Her exclamation also attracted the members, followed by a series of "Wow~" "So beautiful~" praises.

Seated in front of them, Lee Yeonju also searched it up and showed a surprised expression upon confirming it was indeed a very nice travel destination.

"Then... let's vote. Beijing, Hong Kong, Chengdu, Xiamen, choose two out of four."

"... Wouldn't it be that after we choose, the production team would take us to the remaining two unchosen places?"

Suddenly, the quick-witted Kang Seulgi almost choked Lee Yeonju with her own saliva.

"No, it's really up to you, your choice."

Upon hearing this, Bae Juhyun and others exchanged glances, then Red Velvet's official spokesperson Son Seungwan said: "We need to discuss a bit first."

"Sure, you can discuss... ah! But if you select travel destinations we didn't prepare for, you might need to contact the necessary guides and interpreters yourself. Is that okay?"

"No problem!"

Bae Juhyun and others looked at each other and finally answered in unison.

Joking aside, is this minor task even an issue?

If they could truly choose their own travel destinations, they wouldn't mind paying for a guide themselves.

Besides...

"Juhyun, as for translation..."

When speaking of translation, the members couldn't help but think of someone.

Bae Juhyun showed an excited smile.

"Ah, I know, leave it to me!"

Is there a better candidate for the translator job than Li Chenglu?
