"It seems like everyone has a suitable candidate, but please weigh the cost carefully. The budget our company has approved for us this time isn't as plentiful as everyone might think."

Lee Yeonju naturally didn't know anything about Li Chenglu's existence, so she was quite startled by Bae Juhyun's confident smile. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Don't worry, it will be within a reasonable range, but I still don't know if the person is available."

From what Bae Juhyun said, Lee Yeonju hesitated slightly. She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then asked softly.

"Could it be Mr. Liu Xin'an?"

It's quite natural for her to think of Liu Xin'an, as who else but "family member" Liu Xin'an could take on the translation work for a cheap price?

"No, it's someone else, don't worry, it's an amateur who can appear on camera."

"And super beautiful."

"Yes, just too tall, which gives a strong sense of oppression."

Son Seungwan spoke with full grievance. She chats more privately with Li Chenglu, mainly because, as someone who also knows multiple languages, she enjoys chatting with Li Chenglu, who is basically a simultaneous interpreter.

"Seems like it's a friend everyone knows well. If we can invite them, it would be great."

"Well... we almost decided where to go."

Bae Juhyun listened to the members' discussion, then raised her hand to signal to the program team.

"Which two?"

Bae Juhyun looked back at the members, seeking their consent: "Shall we say it together?"

"Yeah."

"1...2...3..."

"Chengdu and Xiamen!"

"Chengdu is mainly for seeing pandas, and in Xiamen, we want to play by the sea."

Son Seungwan provided a more detailed explanation. Chengdu goes without saying; it's a place all members want to visit.

As for Xiamen... mainly because they were attracted by the pictures Son Seungwan found.

Who wouldn't love such a beautiful island?... The only one a bit upset is Park Sooyoung, who was born on a seaside island, Jeju...

Going to Gulangyu in Xiamen, isn't that running from her own island to another country's island?

What's the difference!

But unfortunately, her voice alone was too small, and besides, Xiamen isn't just Gulangyu.

She was persuaded.

"Ah... have we decided?"

"Yes!"

Lee Yeonju nodded, pretending to be slightly thoughtful, but she was actually listening to Liu Xin'an's voice through her earphones.

Chengdu had always been in the program team's plans, as no one can resist the charm of pandas! No one!

(The author's personal preference)

But as for Xiamen...

Not knowing the situation means having no say, so she felt the need to listen to Liu Xin'an's opinion.

Since they had previously devised a code with Liu Xin'an, whenever she made the gesture of brushing her hair, it meant she wanted Liu Xin'an's advice, so when she brushed her hair, Liu Xin'an had already given his answer.

"Yes, Xiamen is great."

The voice in the earphones was transmitted, and Lee Yeonju didn't hesitate further. She nodded, ready to speak, when Son Seungwan, who had been observing her, suddenly spoke up.

"The PD is acting weird, like they're waiting for something."

"Oh? When you say that, it does seem a bit like that, and they're wearing earphones, too."

Lee Yeonju's heart skipped a beat, and next to her, Liu Xin'an also held his breath. Then, he quickly turned the phone to mute, and before doing so, he specifically told Lee Yeonju. Hearing Liu Xin'an's voice, Lee Yeonju understood and took her earphones off.

"I didn't hear anything. I was just thinking about whether the Xiamen option is viable."

"Has the PD gotten the answer now?"

"Let's tentatively decide on Xiamen and Chengdu then, alright."

Lee Yeonju put her earphones back on, and then Liu Xin'an's relieved voice echoed in her ear.

"Is Seungwan's observational ability that strong?"

Lee Yeonju kept silent, continuing to converse with Bae Juhyun and the others: "So, what kind of style do you hope our group show will have this time?"

"Rest!"

"Travel!"

"Whatever's comfortable!"

"No tasks, just travel!"

Their quick responses left Lee Yeonju quite helpless; this was clearly impossible.

Even for the sake of program entertainment, they were destined to create some obstacles for Bae Juhyun and the others.

"That's unrealistic."

"If possible, we want to have a close encounter with pandas."

Perhaps due to a kinship, always jokingly referred to as silly Seulgi by fans, Kang Seulgi's curiosity about pandas was the highest among the five. If possible, as long as she could see up close... no! As long as she could see them up close on this trip to China, she would be satisfied.

"That... we have to discuss with the park in advance. We've done some research, and touching pandas like keepers requires a lot of prior preparation, so please don't have too high expectations."

"It's okay, taking a picture together would be enough for me." Kang Seulgi showed an expectant expression.

"I roughly understand everyone's wishes. We'll try to come up with a plan that will satisfy the members, and we also hope the members can leave with wonderful memories from China."

"...You're not going to make us feed crocodiles or take photos with lions, right?"

"Ah!! Don't say that!" Kim Yerin reflexively imagined that scene, got goosebumps, and quickly reached out to cover Kang Seulgi's mouth.

"In Xiamen, do you have anything you'd like to do?" asked Lee Yeonju, knowing that the main goal in Chengdu was to see pandas. She needed to ask about their intentions for Xiamen in advance as well.
