Chapter 312 Ledbeibei

"Okay, there should be no problems with tomorrow's concert. Thank you for your hard work."

After another day of busy work, when practice finally ended on the morning of the 26th, the room manager and dance teacher announced that the rehearsing of EXO's concert repertoire was almost completed.

As for the remaining songs, don't be too anxious. You can take your time after the performance comes back. After all, you won't need them for the time being. Re-parting, re-recording and other tasks are not very urgent right now.

"Ah, it's finally done."

"This kind of work feels much more tiring than releasing a new album."

"Nonsense, we have practiced this countless times before. It will definitely be tiring to do it again..."

After hearing this, the members all breathed a sigh of relief and sighed a few words in a low voice as if to vent.

The two of them also felt relaxed for a while. The two of them had spoken very little in the past few days. They had been holding back things in their hearts and had been gritting their teeth and practicing with the members.

The hazy practice these past few days has made all the members a little overwhelmed. Now that it's finally finished, they can take a little rest.

"Thank you for your hard work." Everyone bowed to the dance teachers to express their gratitude, and then after chatting for a few words, they dispersed and prepared to go out for a meal together.

Chi Jingyuan's cell phone just rang at this time. He looked down and found that it was Pei Xiuzhi's call. After thinking for a moment, he walked to the window and answered the call.

"Jingyuan, let's go to that store first. Come quickly." Jin Junmian looked back at Chi Jingyuan's movements and shouted to him.

Chi Jingyuan turned around and made an 'ok' gesture. After watching the members go out, he continued talking on the phone. After talking for a while, he hung up after making an appointment.

Pei Xiuzhi called him to make an appointment a few days ago, but Chi Jingyuan was so busy at the time that he couldn't spare the time.

But I am free today.

After tidying up, Chi Jingyuan put on his hat, put on his bag, walked out of the practice room, closed the door, and walked towards the elevator.

But before I took two steps, five people came towards me.

Chi Jingyuan glanced around and found that they happened to be the four members of the new girl group's Bae Zhuhyun. Following at the end was a short woman in her thirties who was slightly fat and wearing glasses.

"Jingyuan." As soon as they saw him, Jiang Seulqi and Son Seungwan trotted over while waving their hands cheerfully several meters apart.

Behind me, Bae Zhuhyun, who had lowered her head slightly when walking, also looked over, blinked, smiled and quickened her pace.

"Have you just finished eating?" Chi Jingyuan asked, while fisting Sun Shengwan, who was the fastest runner, so hard that she winced and couldn't stop shaking her hands and feet and shouting in pain.

"Nai, Hye Young and Oni just came back from having dinner together." Jiang Seulqi nodded and turned to look at the woman at the end.

Chi Jingyuan has met this middle-aged woman several times in the company. Her name is Quan Huiying. He remembers that she should be in SM's artist management department. It seems that she is now one of the managers of the new girl group.

"Jingyuan..." Quan Huiying came over and greeted Chi Jingyuan with a smile. Her attitude was as enthusiastic as before. Park Xiurong next to her was a little stunned. She felt that their manager had been very strict with them after this contact.

It was as if the person suddenly changed.

"Director Quan Huiying." Chi Jingyuan also smiled and returned the greeting gently, and at the same time glanced at Bae Zhuxuan who was looking at him next to him.

"Oh, I told you last time to just call me Nu." Quan Huiying waved her hands pretending to complain, then glanced aside and nodded with a smile: "I heard before that Seulgi and the others are very close to you.

Okay, we're friends, we happened to meet each other today, let's just chat for a while, I'll go to the practice room and wait for you."

After saying that, she didn't stop, nodded to Chi Jingyuan, and left directly towards the practice room.

An agent who knows how to deal with things. Chi Jingyuan looked at her figure and gave her an impression.

"Hey Yi Gu, you are indeed a fool."

Sun Shengwan's hand no longer hurt now. He frowned and stared at Quan Huiying's leaving figure. After he completely disappeared, he looked at Chi Jingyuan and smacked his lips: "Huiying, Unni, usually treats us...

But being strict, you have to control everything, that is, be a little more relaxed when talking to Joohyun Unnie... I didn’t expect you to look like this when I met you, tsk tsk.”

"It's the same as the first time you saw it. Did you forget about it from Director Li Meizhu?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at her. Sun Shengwan's rich expressions always made him feel very interesting, very straightforward and not artificial.

"Oh, I think about it, it's true, hahaha." Sun Shengwan laughed when he remembered that incident, and sighed: "He is indeed a famous royal family in the company..."

"Miah Nei." She suddenly stopped and covered her mouth with both hands, as if to seal her mouth, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan with an apologetic look.

In the past two days, many anti-fans on the Internet have been complaining that Ji Jingyuan is a royal family, and the various comments and comments are also unpleasant. Son Seungwan, who has read these comments, feels that he said the wrong thing.

"It's okay, other aspects may be made up, but they are not wrong on this point, right." Chi Jingyuan laughed and shrugged at her, as if he was not affected by the outside world at all.

.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan like this, Sun Shengwan felt relieved, blinked and made a grimace.

Chi Jingyuan looked at Jiang Seulqi and Bae Zhuhyun: "Has the time been determined?"

"Well, the debut song is a digital single. It will officially debut on "Music Bank" and perform on the first stage on August 1st. The MV and sound source will be released two days later. The news will be announced on the 27th of this month, and a trailer video will be released."

Jiang Seulqi nodded and replied with a smile. When she said this, whether it was her, Bae Zhuhyun, Son Seungwan or even Park Sooyoung, their faces were full of joy, and the look of anticipation in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

When Chi Jingyuan heard that a digital single was being released, he knew it. As expected, there was no time to prepare an album.

He then asked: "What about your debut showcase? When will it be?"

"Well, we didn't have a debut showcase..." Jiang Seulqi smiled coquettishly.

"Because we debuted a long time in advance and the company was not prepared, and we didn't have much publicity before and we don't have much fan base, even if we hold a showcase, there won't be many people coming." Bae Zhuhyun took over and explained, as if to comfort themselves.

.

Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised when she didn't debut in a showcase, and she immediately felt that the company didn't pay much attention to them.

But what Bae Joo Hyun said makes sense.

"By the way, we have moved into a new dormitory, right in the *** area."

"That's pretty close to our XO's dormitory."

"And we won't be able to use our mobile phones right away." Bae Joo-hyun thought of something, her expression was not very good, and she added: "Hyeyoung Unni said that after her official debut, she will put away our mobile phones during her schedule.

Return it to us when you get back in the evening."

"I don't know if I will pay it back." Park Xiurong followed with an expression of disbelief.

Chi Jingyuan nodded, quite understanding in his heart.

For many girls, before and after their debut are two completely different situations. When they were trainees, they just had to practice hard to make their debut. But after they became idols, they suddenly faced more things, including all kinds of things.

Such pressure or temptation will come from all directions. People with poor tolerance or self-control can easily go astray or have problems. At this time, it is actually quite right for the company to have stricter control.

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Pei Zhuhyun's voice about putting away her mobile phone, Chi Jingyuan looked at her with a smile and met her eyes for a few seconds. Then she took the initiative to look away and looked away, her face flushed.

Mouth.

Chi Jingyuan laughed, looked at Jiang Seulqi and asked, "What is the name of your group? Have you decided on it?"

"The company has confirmed it before, and it's called red velvet, 'R''e''d''v''e'... Ledbeibei." Jiang Seulqi laughed again after hearing this, with a sense of showing off.

The name of their new girl group was announced, and each letter was read out individually, for fear that Chi Jingyuan wouldn't understand.

"Red velvet?" Hearing Jiang Seulgi's last pronunciation, Chi Kyungwon paused for a moment, then repeated it in very standard American English.

The pronunciation of some words in American English and Korean English is very different. Obviously red velvet can be pronounced as having several syllables, but Seulgi pronounces it directly as 'Ledbebe', which makes Chi Jingyuan think that she is

Misheard.

"No, Ledbeibei." Seulgi nodded, as if she didn't feel anything was wrong.

"Red velvet?" He tried to correct it again.

"Ledbebe."

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, thought briefly for a second and then decided to do as the Romans do. He gestured: "OK, Ledbeibei."

Next to her, Sun Shengwan burst into laughter watching the conversation between the two. She covered her mouth and looked at the helpless Chi Jingyuan. Then she blinked and pointed at the other person, saying that I understand how you feel.

Son Seung-wan went to school in Canada and speaks English very fluently. He must have made a lot of efforts and sacrifices to integrate into the team's local pronunciation.

No longer struggling with the pronunciation issue, Chi Jingyuan chewed on the group name and asked curiously: "What does Ledbeibei mean, red velvet?"

"Ahem..." Pei Zhuxuan cleared her throat at this time, took the initiative to stand up and looked at Chi Jingyuan, stood up straight and introduced seriously: "Red velvet is a combination of red, which is full of strong and charming colors, and

The name velvet, combined with the soft, feminine feel of the item, is the expectation..."

"Where are you endorsing? Can you be a little emotional? Irene xi, you are actually the captain?" Seeing Pei Zhuxuan pause for a second from time to time, raising her eyes to think about it, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but interrupt her recitation.

, and gave her a speechless look.

"Hahaha..." Several people nearby immediately laughed loudly, causing Pei Zhuxuan, who was half-backing up, to suddenly hold back her voice. She wrinkled her nose and poked him out in annoyance.

"Okay, I won't tell you more, they are still waiting for me to eat." After saying a few words, Chi Jingyuan looked at the time, smiled and waved goodbye, ready to show off.

"Bye..." The four of them also said goodbye to him, and the atmosphere of laughter was very good.

"Yuan xi." Chi Jingyuan had just taken two steps when he was stopped by Pei Zhuxuan. He looked back in confusion and saw Pei Zhuxuan looking at him with shining eyes. He stretched out a finger and emphasized: "8

Are you free on the 1st of the month?"

"Hee hee, it's August 1st." Jiang Seqi and the others also understood what the captain meant and danced along with her gestures.

But Chi Jingyuan turned around and spread his hands: "We will have a concert in Xia Guoyou on August 2nd..."

Several people were a little disappointed when they heard this, but Pei Zhuxuan quickly smoothed her hair and smiled sweetly at him: "Of course the concert is more important."

At the same time, she raised her fist to support: "fight!"

Chi Jingyuan also smiled and made a fist gesture: "You too, fighitng! Ledbeibei!"

After saying goodbye, Chi Jingyuan got on the elevator and rushed towards the restaurant that he had agreed with the members. While walking, he couldn't help but think about the new girl group Red Velvet.

Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, breaking news about 'SM is about to launch a new girl group' has appeared on the Internet during this time. There are even a few members, and some of them are pretty accurate. I guess it should be SM.

The company itself let the news out and wanted to test the waters.

However, the comments on 'SM's new girl group' have been very negative on the Internet in the past two days. There are not many people who express their expectation and love. Instead, there are people everywhere who are mocking SM's Mercury retrograde this year and hoping that the new girl group will hit the market.

Passers-by, especially fans of SM’s own senior groups, are the most fierce and opposed.

Chi Jingyuan also knew that it was very meaningful for the company to make Hong Beibei's debut so long ago, but when he saw Bae Zhuhyun and others looking so happy and looking forward to it, he didn't say much. He just cheered for them as friends.
