Chapter 116: The Hwaja Trio
After Jeon Soyeon left, Jiang Shu stretched lazily in his chair, glanced at the time, and muttered.
“I remember… it seems like an afternoon flight.”
Incheon International Airport.
Jin Zhongting yawned, holding a pick-up sign written in Chinese with the names “Cheng Xiao, Song Yuqi, Ning Yizhuo” on it.
Ever since he helped Jiang Shu trick Kim Minjeong into DM Entertainment last time, he was considered to have a nominal position at DM Entertainment, occasionally coming to do some work and earn some extra cash.
This time, he begged and pleaded to get the pick-up task, and came with the company's translator to pick them up.
These three were exclusive trainees personally requested by Director Jiang, and since they were also Chinese like Director Jiang, a special person was arranged to pick them up.
Originally, this matter should have been handled by the administrative department or the trainee department, but the staff were quite lazy, so they hired Jin Zhongting, the errand boy, with money.
The translator couldn't escape; he had to come even if he didn't want to. There were only a few people in the company who knew Chinese, and he had bad luck and was chosen, so what could he do?
“Hello! Are you staff from DM Entertainment?” A husky voice, unlike a girl’s, rang in his ear.
Jin Zhongting, who had been distracted, looked up blankly, then saw three girls who had arrived in front of him without him noticing.
Jin Zhongting didn't understand Chinese, so he looked up at the translator.
“We are from DM Entertainment.” The translator was DM Entertainment’s Korean teacher, who came to teach Korean to foreign trainees, and understood Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
“Hello, teacher! I am Song Yuqi!”
“I am Cheng Xiao.”
“I am Ning Yizhuo.”
Jin Zhongting looked at the most elegant girl in the middle with surprise. Although he didn't understand Chinese, that husky voice was too unique, wasn't it?
“Hello, it’s good to finally meet you.” The translator smiled, “The car is in the parking lot, let’s go.”
“Okay!”
“Brother, what’s the name of that husky-voiced girl?” Jin Zhongting stealthily leaned over and asked the translator.
“Song Yuqi, what, are you interested in her?” the translator asked with a smile.
“Of course not!” Jin Zhongting quickly shook his head, “These are all trainees Director Jiang wants, how would I dare?”
In Jin Zhongting’s eyes, DM Entertainment’s so-called exclusive trainees were Director Jiang’s crystal palace, all future sister-in-law candidates, and he wouldn’t dare touch them.
“Haha.” The translator laughed but didn't say anything more, because he also thought the same, or rather, everyone else in the company thought the same.
Incheon International Airport was still quite a distance from Samsong-dong. Cheng Xiao and Ning Yizhuo sat quietly, but Song Yuqi was like a “maggot,” looking left and right, as if she couldn't wait to dismantle the car to see the difference between DM Entertainment’s car and an ordinary car.
After watching for a while, she wasn't satisfied with just watching and found the translator to strike up a conversation.
“Teacher, where are we going next?”
The translator looked at Song Yuqi with some surprise. The trainees he had picked up before were as docile as quails, but with Song Yuqi, the style had changed.
“First, we’ll go to the company to register your trainee information, and then a special person will take you to the trainee dormitory.” The translator explained, despite his inner doubts.
“Then can we meet the boss? Director Jiang? I often watch his videos, he’s so handsome in person!” Song Yuqi said excitedly.
“Uh, I’m not sure if Director Jiang will summon you.”
The translator was a bit speechless.
He had been at the company for several months and had only seen Director Jiang twice in the parking lot. This little girl wanted to see Director Jiang right away?
Well, he couldn’t say for sure, after all, she was an exclusive trainee.
“Then can we meet the seniors from IVE?” Song Yuqi asked again.
“Probably. The practice rooms for trainees are on the second floor, and the artists’ practice rooms are on the third floor. You might occasionally meet them when taking the elevator,” the translator explained.
“Then when do we learn Korean? Do we go to school to learn Korean or how do we learn?”
“I will teach you.”
“You are our Korean teacher? Hello, teacher!”
“Uh… hello.”
Jin Zhongting sat behind the front passenger seat, on the right side of the second row, playing on his phone with his head down.
He couldn't understand, completely couldn't understand.
He really wanted to know what they were talking about…
Never mind, just keep playing on his phone.
…
Trainee dormitory.
“Wow!” Song Yuqi’s eyes widened as she looked at the dormitory in front of her. “Didn’t they say Korean trainees’ living conditions were bad? Isn’t this just a university dormitory?”
Song Yuqi rushed into the dormitory with her suitcase, excited to see the six-person room with bunk beds and desks underneath.
Cheng Xiao and Ning Yizhuo followed Song Yuqi in.
“It seems like it’s just the three of us?” Cheng Xiao looked around and said to the other two.
“There seems to be a bed here.” Ning Yizhuo pointed to the corner near the window, where the upper bunk had a complete set of bedding.
As if hearing the commotion, the quilt suddenly lifted, revealing a head.
Kim Minjeong looked blankly at the three people who had suddenly appeared below, but the next second she was startled awake.
“Are you new trainees?” Kim Minjeong frowned, looking at the three below, and asked.
Cheng Xiao frowned. Why did her tone sound more like an interrogation?
“What did you say? We don’t understand Korean.” Song Yuqi blinked, looking at Kim Minjeong above and said.
Hearing Song Yuqi speak Chinese, Kim Minjeong realized that these three should be foreigners. Just as she was about to speak, she saw several figures appear at the doorway.
The three of them, Song Yuqi, turned around and also saw the people at the door.
At this moment, Song Yuqi’s eyes lit up as she looked at the girl next to the tall girl who was almost flying out the door.
“Kim Minju! That girl is Kim Minju! The trainee who appears most often in our boss’s videos!”
Ning Yizhuo silently pulled out her phone, opened a translation app, and then…
“Hello, seniors, we are the new Chinese trainees. I am Ning Yizhuo, this loudmouth is Song Yuqi, and the one next to her is Cheng Xiao.”
The electronically synthesized Korean resonated in the room.
Ahn Yujin, Kim Minju, and Kim Autumn, who was further back, looked curiously at these three trainees from China.
“Hey! Ahn Yujin, move aside a bit.” Kim Autumn patted Ahn Yujin and said.
“Oh, oh.” Ahn Yujin moved aside, and Kim Autumn walked in front of the three with her phone.
“Hello…”
Through difficult communication using the translation app, the three also got to know these people.
The tall one who was almost flying out was Ahn Yujin, the one talking to them with the app was Kim Autumn, the one on the bed was Kim Minjeong, and Kim Minju, they all knew her without needing to be told.
“Hello, Autumn senior!” Song Yuqi greeted Kim Autumn with a strong voice.
Kim Autumn looked at Song Yuqi, her mouth twitching.
Kim Minju subconsciously looked at Ahn Yujin.
Ahn Yujin’s eyes lit up.
