Chapter 194: Get to Work!
Samsung Supermarket is the closest large supermarket to the villa rented by the production team. As a conglomerate that Koreans have been exposed to since birth, Samsung's industries span various sectors, and the retail industry, a highly profitable one, naturally features Samsung's presence.
Parking Lot.
After parking the car in the supermarket's underground parking garage, Jiang Shu and the three women got out of the car one after another. The photographers following behind also parked their cars and quickly caught up.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Shu said, glancing at the three women and waving his hand.
“Hey!” Zhang Yuanying called out to them, “Mom and Dad always go shopping together.”
Saying this, Zhang Yuanying walked forward and stood in front of Jiang Shu and Bae Joo-hyun.
Then she took Bae Joo-hyun’s hand and linked her arm through Jiang Shu’s.
Afterward, she clapped her hands.
“That’s better.”
Bae Joo-hyun and Jiang Shu couldn't help but exchange glances, then chuckled.
“Xiao Yuan is still the most thoughtful.”
“Of course.” Zhang Yuanying tilted her head, “Dad can’t refuse anything I want to buy later, okay?”
“Alright,” Jiang Shu readily agreed, his peripheral vision, however, glancing at Liu Zhimin.
This glance happened to meet Liu Zhimin’s eyes. Jiang Shu instinctively felt a bit guilty, but Liu Zhimin averted her gaze when she saw his looking at her.
“Ahem, let’s go.”
“Yes~”
Jiang Shu’s group was too eye-catching. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women, followed by photographers carrying cameras and filming, made them easily recognizable.
However, most people only filmed from a distance and did not approach. Some tried to come closer but were stopped by the prepared production team.
“Hey, the cart!” Liu Zhimin patted Zhang Yuanying, pointing at the shopping cart in her hand.
“No, Ouni already pushed it, why do I need to?” Zhang Yuanying shook her head decisively.
“Children need to exercise more to grow taller,” Liu Zhimin tried to reason with Zhang Yuanying.
“I’m already very tall, I don’t need to,” Zhang Yuanying said and ran off directly.
“Hey!” Liu Zhimin’s eyes widened, and she pushed the cart to follow her.
“They’re so energetic,” Bae Joo-hyun said with a laugh.
“They always get noisy when they’re together; they have a good relationship,” Jiang Shu also chuckled, “When are you going abroad?”
“Probably at the end of the month. The film crew should already be in Zhangjiajie,” Bae Joo-hyun thought for a moment and said, “Has the Chairman not paid special attention?”
“No, I’ve been busy with other things recently.”
Ji Lei had already made initial contact with Cube Entertainment, and he was remotely controlling him from behind. He hadn't paid much attention to company matters during this time.
“Xiao Liu is about to debut. How about we, as a family, go watch her debut stage then?” Jiang Shu said with a smile.
“Sounds good,” Bae Joo-hyun nodded, “I’ll prepare a debut gift for Karina.”
“That’s thoughtful of you.”
“I am Karina’s Mom, after all,” Bae Joo-hyun said with a smile.
Jiang Shu smiled.
“Is there anything you want to buy?”
“Let’s go check out the fresh produce section.”
“Alright.”
The “family” shopping at the supermarket became a hot topic on Korean internet with the upload of various videos and photos.
Although Bae Joo-hyun was linked arm-in-arm with Jiang Shu, the obvious cameras and the presence of Zhang Yuanying and Liu Zhimin meant that most people wouldn’t assume anything between the two of them. Instead, they were more curious about what kind of content was being filmed.
The production team’s promotional work hadn't started yet. Unlike debuts, variety show promotions usually begin after most of the initial content has been filmed. Since filming had just begun, there was no rush to promote it.
There were all sorts of speculations online, but no one correctly guessed the content of the show.
Program Recording Residence.
The “family” returned to the filming location after buying daily necessities and fresh ingredients at the supermarket. Today's recording was for one day and one night, meaning the four of them would stay overnight and record until noon the next day.
“Mom, when are you making dinner?” Zhang Yuanying put the shopping bag on the table and rubbed her stomach as she asked.
“I’ll make dinner for you right away,” Bae Joo-hyun immediately said.
“Not so fast,” Jiang Shu stopped Bae Joo-hyun, who was about to head into the kitchen, “Are the beds in the rooms made?”
Hearing this, everyone paused.
“I’ll go check,” Liu Zhimin said, then ran up to the second floor alone. Soon, her figure appeared by the railing on the second floor.
“They’re not made; they’re all still in their unopened packaging.”
“Alright then, Bae Joo-hyun, you prepare dinner. Xiao Liu and Xiao Yuan and I will make the beds,” Jiang Shu said.
“Understood,” Bae Joo-hyun nodded.
“Okay! I want the room closest to the stairs!” Zhang Yuanying clapped her hands and said.
“What about Xiao Liu?” Jiang Shu looked up at Liu Zhimin.
“I have no opinion either,” Liu Zhimin on the second floor shook her head.
“Then let’s all start!”
The photographers also split into two groups. One group followed Bae Joo-hyun to the kitchen, while the other went upstairs.
“One at a time,” Jiang Shu looked at the mattress leaning against the wall, “Xiao Liu, you unpack the comforter. Xiao Yuan, you unpack the duvet cover. I’ll take care of the mattress.”
“Understood!” x2.
The three immediately got to work.
Jiang Shu took the scissors and began to unseal everything. The three-piece set for the bedroom was all newly bought, still in its original packaging, completely brand new.
“Ouni, is university fun?” Zhang Yuanying sat on the floor, unpacking the duvet cover, and asked Liu Zhimin, who was squatting on the floor in front of her, butt in the air, unpacking the comforter.
“It’s quite fun, why do you ask?” Liu Zhimin replied without turning her head.
“Which university was Ouni’s again?”
“Dongguk.”
“It seems many industry seniors are from Dongguk University. Senior Seohyun from S.M. Entertainment’s acting department is one,” Zhang Yuanying said, shaking her head.
“Yes, many seniors,” Liu Zhimin pulled out the comforter, “You should come to Dongguk too, in the future.”
“My current goal is to get into Hanlim Arts High School or Seoul Arts High School first,” Zhang Yuanying also pulled out the duvet cover.
“Are you going to school tomorrow then?” Liu Zhimin turned her head, looking at Zhang Yuanying in surprise.
“Yes,” Zhang Yuanying nodded, “I have to go a few times a week.”
“How do you get there?”
“My manager Ouni picks me up.”
“No need, I’ll take you,” Jiang Shu’s voice came over. Liu Zhimin and Zhang Yuanying both looked up at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu handed the removed plastic wrap to an assistant from the production team nearby.
“Come on, lend a hand,” Jiang Shu laid the mattress flat. Liu Zhimin and Zhang Yuanying quickly came over and helped him put the mattress on the bed.
“What time do you go to school tomorrow?”
“Before nine,” Zhang Yuanying blinked and said.
“I’ll take you. I’ve never taken anyone to school before,” Jiang Shu said with a smile.
Taking a child to school?
Sounds quite interesting.
