364 Becoming the Group’s Favorite
And it wasn’t just the guests.
Everyone knew that Duan Shengquan was a fan of TV series. He watched whatever was popular. The one that he was particularly interested in recently was definitely The Billion Stars.
When “h.e.l.lo, Sunday” launched its best on-screen couple special episode, he had also voted for Sonpachan.
So, when he knew that Blue Whale requested a spot, he immediately knew that they were definitely going to give it to the most popular newcomer of the year, Su Ji. He was very supportive of it.
At that time, Blue Whale wanted two spots. As for the other one, he couldn’t think of who it was for, so he only helped them secure a spot and the other one would join later.
Jiang Cuiqin arrived late. She encountered two car accidents on the way. She was also drunk.
There were a few souvenirs from XBY in the car, and she asked her a.s.sistant to distribute them to everyone as an apology.
Not only the guests, but all staff members in the room also received one.
However, she was a senior, and she was only about ten minutes late. Even Director Duan did not dare to have an opinion and quickly introduced her to everyone.
Li Shuguo met her at a party a few years ago, and the two of them entered the entertainment industry at around the same time. They chatted a little more, while the others were just being polite.
When Su Ji was introduced, her gaze lingered on Su Ji’s face for a few more seconds.
As soon as Su Ji arrived, Xiao Ken put away his phone.
The purpose of today’s meeting was to let the guests get to know each other. Duan Shengquan was the host and thanked them for coming. Then, the program director briefly talked about the plan.
During the meeting, Xiao Ken would bring up Su Ji in any topic. Although Mr. Casar was not as proactive as last time, his eyes were always on Su Ji every time Nan Miaomiao looked at him.
However, she did not notice that w.a.n.g Yi was also doing the same thing.
Even Li Shuguo secretly searched for Su Ji on his phone under the conference table. He had no connection with Su Ji, and he was looking her up out of curiosity.
The only person who did not look at Su Ji from the beginning to the end was Lu Shang, but Nan Miaomiao completely ignored him.
It could be said that birds of a feather flock together. Nan Miaomiao and Sonya had the same problem. They did not know how to cherish the things in front of them.
The two-and-a-half-hour meeting pa.s.sed in a flash. They were only interested in some people. They didn’t pay much attention to the contents of the meeting. However, their a.s.sistants took it very seriously. Some took notes while others recorded with their mobile phones.
Finally, the most important thing to note was that the first episode would happen three days later.
Later, after the meeting, Director Duan asked everyone if they were looking forward to living and traveling together. Xiao Ken was the one who gave the most enthusiastic answer, and Duan Shengquan couldn’t stop laughing.
Who said band members were difficult to deal with?
Xiao Ken was so cooperative!
At the end of the meeting, Su Ji was the first to leave.
Fortunately, she was close to graduation and didn’t have to attend cla.s.ses every day. If she had transmigrated earlier, the school wouldn’t be able to control her. She would be the last to arrive in cla.s.s and the first to leave after cla.s.s. She was definitely the type of student who would make the teacher teachers call for a parent-teacher meeting at least ten times a semester.
Xiao Ken followed Su Ji out. Casar’s eyes narrowed slightly. As expected, the girl he liked was very popular. Fortunately, he had discovered it early. If he did not make a move soon, she would be s.n.a.t.c.hed away.
After going downstairs, Su Ji stopped Xiao Ken from following her, “I’m going to have lunch.”
Xiao Ken didn’t have a regular meal time, but he said, “sure, I’m hungry too. How about I treat you?”
Su Ji smiled, “my boyfriend is treating me.”
Xiao Ken: “…”
However, he didn’t stay depressed for long before he called out to Su Ji again. Su Ji had just taken two steps when she turned around to look at him.
Xiao Ken squinted his eyes and smiled. He tilted his shoulders and said, “your boyfriend is quite mysterious. I’ve always heard you mention him, but I’ve never met him. When are you going to bring him to us?”
Su Ji thought for a moment before replying, “there will be a chance.”
At the same time, Casar received another reply from his a.s.sistant. His plan to meet the man this afternoon had failed.
The reason was similar to the previous one, he was going to have lunch with his girlfriend.
If he had known that he wouldn’t be able to ask him out, Casar felt that he might as well have gone downstairs and tried to ask that girl out.

Nan Miaomiao and Sonya were the last ones to leave. At this time, only the two of them and Jiang Cuiqin were left in the meeting room.
Sonya didn’t have any work in the afternoon. She made an appointment to treat Nan Miaomiao to a meal, but Nan Miaomiao changed her mind. She pulled Sonya to Jiang Cuiqin and said, “Ms. Jiang, she is my good friend. Please take care of her in the future.”
Sonya politely shook hands with her, “h.e.l.lo, Ms. Jiang. It’s an honor to work with you.”
Jiang Cuiqin gave Nan Miaomiao face and nodded, shaking her hand.
The a.s.sistant reminded her softly, “Ms. Jiang, we should go to the a.s.sociation.”
Jiang Cuiqin withdrew her hand without a word, “okay, I got it.”
Nan Miaomiao took the opportunity to strike up a conversation, “Ms. Jiang, are you going to the popular Calligraphy a.s.sociation?”
The a.s.sistant next to her made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Cuiqin and answered on her behalf with a smile, “she’s going to the Lute a.s.sociation.”
Hearing this, Nan Miaomiao’s eyes lit up. She nudged Sonya. Sonya hesitated for a moment and said softly, “is it okay if we go with you?”
Jiang Cuiqin looked at them in surprise, “you’re also interested in the lute?”
Nan Miaomiao said, “when Sonya was in a girl group, she played the lute very well.”
What a perfect opportunity.
If it was the Calligraphy a.s.sociation, they wouldn’t know what to do.
Sonya used to sing songs played by the lute when she was in a girl group. At that time, her management company even labeled her as a beautiful folk music artist.
Nan Miaomiao did not know that Sonya practiced that hard to please Old Master Pei back then. However, the result was unclear.
Sonya smiled, “she’s exaggerating. I only know a little.”
Jiang Cuiqin was a cultured woman. She liked to listen to the lute and opera, so she didn’t refuse. “Okay, since you two are also interested in this, let’s go together.”
“Sonya, you’re the best,” Nan Miaomiao said softly, then curved her lips smugly.
She finally knew one of Ms. Jiang’s hobbies.
Based on the meeting today, if they didn’t get Ms. Jiang to be on their side, Su Ji would become the group’s favorite.
