Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chapter 19 Eye-Catching Bag

Chen Ran and Yin Helin finally arrived at the door of an office.

The secretary of Lee Chang-ho, the director of the Television Bureau, invited the two into his office.

As soon as I entered, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses immediately stood up with a smile to greet me.

"He Lin is here."

"Chang-ho bro."

Yin Helin smiled and responded, then gestured to Chen Ran beside him and introduced:

"This is Chen Ran, a new screenwriter we recently signed with our company. Today we are going to film his work in collaboration with the TV station."

"Hello, Director Li," Chen Ran greeted politely.

"Hello there."

Lee Chang-ho smiled and nodded, gesturing for the two to sit down: "Please sit down."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Yin Helin gestured for Chen Ran to hand over the script he had brought back.

"Chang-ho, take a look at the script first. Although Chen Ran is a new screenwriter, the quality of the script is definitely not bad."

"Okay, let me see."

Lee Chang-ho nodded, took the script, and carefully read through its contents.

Half an hour later, Lee Chang-ho, having roughly read through the script for the first six episodes, looked up and glanced at Chen Ran sitting next to Yoon Ha-rim with a somewhat surprised expression.

The quality of this script is indeed quite good; it doesn't seem like the level of a novice screenwriter at all.

"The script is fine, we can film it." He didn't beat around the bush and made the decision directly.

Chen Ran and Yin Helin were overjoyed.

"Chen Ran is very talented and gifted. The script is not at all at the level of a newcomer," Lee Chang-ho praised.

"You flatter me. I still have a lot of room for improvement," Chen Ran replied modestly.

"Chang-ho hyung, Chen Ran is a top student who graduated from the Department of Literature at Seoul National University," Yoon Ha-rim suddenly interjected.

"Oh?"

Lee Chang-ho's eyes showed surprise again: "Speaking of which, Chen Ran is my junior. I also graduated from Seoul National University."

Chen Ran immediately understood Yin Helin's purpose in interrupting, and said with a smile, "Then I'll take the liberty of calling you senior."

The Peninsula is a society where cliques and seniority culture are prevalent. When people who graduated from the same university meet in the workplace, many seniors will take extra care of the juniors who graduated from the same school.

School alumni represent a hidden network of connections, which is why so many people strive relentlessly to get into a good university.

Upon hearing the title "senior," Lee Chang-ho's face broke into a smile, and his gaze towards Chen Ran softened.

The three chatted for a while longer before discussing a general cooperation plan.

The backstage lounge of the indoor variety show recording studio on the 5th floor of SBS television station.

The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Lim Yoona stepped in, glanced around, and then sat down next to Tiffany.

"Panie, I just saw Chen Ran."

Tiffany, who was looking down at her phone, turned to look at her upon hearing this, blinking in confusion: "Who is Chen Ran?"

"That's the fan who helped Jessica at the private party that night."

"Oh, it's him. I remember now."

Tiffany's loud voice successfully attracted the attention of Kim Tae-yeon and Lee Soon-kyu, who were sitting in front of the makeup mirror on the other side.

The four of them came here this afternoon to record an indoor variety show, and they are currently waiting to go on set.

"What? What do you mean 'him'? Who are you talking about?"

Lee Soon-kyu immediately put down her phone and came running, drawn by the smell of gossip.

Kim Tae-yeon also got up and came over.

She thought she just heard Jessica and fans talking about something.

The four of them huddled together, and Yoona continued to share her information in a low voice.

"It's Chen Ran, the fan who helped Jessica last time. I just saw him in the TV drama department on the 7th floor."

She just went to the 7th floor to greet a few producers she knows. This is a way of maintaining connections, a habit she has cultivated since her debut.

Unexpectedly, I saw Chen Ran there.

Tiffany asked疑惑地问道：“But why is Chen Ran here?”

Lim Yoon-a shook her head: "I don't know. I saw him walking with Yoon Ha-rin, the representative of HD Company. It seemed like they were heading towards the director's office."

"HD Company?"

Lee Soon-kyu frowned and recalled, "Wasn't that a TV drama production company?"

Tiffany's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ah, could it be that Chen Ranxi has been spotted by HD Company and signed as an actor?"

Kim Tae-yeon tilted her head: "But how come a newly signed actress would be brought to the TV station by a company representative? Shouldn't it be her manager?"

"Um..."

Lim Yoona touched her chin: "Could it be that he really has some kind of background, which is why Representative Yoon personally brought him here?"

"That's possible."

"Sigh, it's a pity Sika didn't come, otherwise she could have directly messaged Chen Ran to ask."

"How about we message Jessica now and ask her to find out who Chen Ran really is?"

"Sure."

Seeing that everyone nodded, Lin Yoona took out her phone to send a message to Chen Ran.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and a female assistant from the production crew poked half her body in.

"Girls' Generation members, filming for the show is about to begin."

"OK."

After the female assistant left, Kim Tae-yeon turned to look at the group and clapped her hands.

"Alright, let's go record the show first. We can talk about other things after we finish recording."

"it is good."

Kim Tae-yeon and the others arrived at the studio, put on their microphones, and went on stage to begin recording the program.

Nearly an hour later, the recording of the show was paused for a break.

Kim Tae-yeon and the others took off their headsets and prepared to return to the dressing room.

Following behind Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah casually glanced in the direction of the production crew.

The next second, a tall man who stood out among the staff came into view.

Lim Yoona paused in her steps.

Seeing this, Tiffany, who was following behind her, also stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Yoona?"

"Panie, I saw Chen Ran-xi."

"what?"

Tiffany paused for a moment, then followed Yoona's gaze and immediately saw that outstanding face.

"It really is him."

After saying that, she smiled and raised her right hand, waving it a few times in Chen Ran's direction.

The staff members below the stage were stunned for a moment, then followed Tiffany's gaze and looked back.

Chen Ran, who instantly became the center of attention: "..."

He just came in out of curiosity, how did he suddenly become such a hot commodity?

About ten minutes ago, their discussion with Lee Chang-ho ended.

After agreeing to have dinner together that evening, Yin Helin said he was going to chat with some old friends.

Seeing this, Lee Chang-ho handed Chen Ran a pass, allowing him to wander around the TV station as he pleased.

He also specifically told Chen Ran that there was an indoor variety show being filmed on the 5th floor in the afternoon, and that she could go and check it out if she was interested.

Chen Ran was indeed quite interested.

He had only ever seen edited variety shows on TV before; he had never actually seen one recorded live.

So he went to the 5th floor and walked all the way to the entrance of the studio.

The staff at the entrance saw his pass but did not stop him.

After Chen Ran entered, he discovered that the guests on the show were actually Girls' Generation.

He watched with great interest for a while until the PD signaled for a break, at which point he prepared to turn and leave.

Since Jessica Jung, the only person he knew, wasn't there, he didn't need to go out of his way to greet Tiffany and Yoona, whom he had only met once.

Unexpectedly, Tiffany and Yoona saw him, and Tiffany even waved to him enthusiastically, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Since you've seen them, go over and say hello, after all, they're so welcoming.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Ran strode over to Lin Yoona and the others on the other side.
