Chapter 34 Was he coming for me?
The girl's outfit was simple and clean for summer: a pure white short-sleeved T-shirt paired with a pair of slim-fitting light blue high-waisted jeans.
Those long, straight, and shapely legs were outlined with a superior curve by the jeans, and she wore a pair of white low-heeled shoes. Paired with the girl's fair skin, a refreshing summer feeling seemed to come over her, making her stand out.
This is the girl that Krystal and Jessica would mention to him from time to time.
Another maknae (youngest member) of f(x), the human peach, is Choi Sulli.
The man standing next to Choi Sulli recognized Yoon Ha-rim at a glance and quickly bowed, saying, "Hello, Representative Yoon, I am Choi Myung-ho, the manager of f(x)."
As he bowed, he quickly gave Choi Sulli a wink, signaling her to bow and greet him.
This is Representative Yoon from HD Company, a crucial connection for someone like Choi Sulli who wants to pursue an acting career.
Upon receiving the look, Choi Sulli quickly bowed and greeted, "Hello, Representative Yoon."
"Hello." Yin Helin smiled and nodded.
Choi Sulli returned a polite smile, but her gaze shifted to the right, landing on Chen Ran next to Yin Helin.
It wasn't just because of Chen Ran's outstanding appearance, but also because of the two seconds his gaze had lingered on her.
Choi Sulli noticed Chen Ran's gaze just now.
Chen Ran's gaze wasn't unpleasant, but it carried a somewhat inexplicable meaning.
It's like... he knows himself quite well.
Choi Sulli didn't understand why someone she was meeting for the first time would look at her like that, so she was a little curious.
Beside them, f(x)'s manager, Choi Myung-ho, also glanced at the young man who had followed Yoon Ha-rim in.
Upon seeing this, my eyes lit up instinctively.
What a handsome face! He's definitely the face of the store.
Even without makeup, he's this good-looking. With Choi Myung-ho's years of experience working at SM Entertainment, he can confidently say that this young man could debut based solely on his face.
Is she a newly signed actor by HD Company?
At this moment, Yin Helin greeted Quan Jishang.
Jeon Ki-sang looked at Choi Myung-ho: "You guys go back first."
Cui Minghao nodded respectfully: "Okay, Director Quan."
He and Yoon Ha-rim nodded amicably and were about to leave with Choi Sulli.
Chen Ran, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up: "Please wait a moment."
The two paused and looked at Chen Ran.
Chen Ran walked up to Cui Minghao: "Manager Cui, there's something I'd like to ask you."
"Here's the thing, I have a script that will be filming soon, and there's a role in it that I think is quite suitable for Krystal, so I'd like to ask you to help me tell SM Entertainment to let Krystal come for an audition."
Cui Minghao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Yin Helin behind Chen Ran.
Seeing this, Yin Helin smiled and said, "Xiao Ran is the screenwriter. Since he thinks Krystal is suitable, then we can let Krystal come and give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Cui Minghao's pupils contracted, and he quickly nodded, "Oh, okay."
He's not an actor, he's a screenwriter.
He really hadn't expected this.
and...
Xiao Ran, huh?
It seems that Representative Yin Helin and this young man have a special relationship; he can't afford to be negligent.
He looked at Chen Ran and took out his phone: "Screenwriter, if it's convenient, let me add you as a contact so we can stay in touch in the future."
Unexpectedly, by bringing Choi Sulli along, I ended up getting a role audition for Jung Soo-jung.
Chen Ran nodded and took out his phone: "My name is Chen Ran. I'll let you know the exact time later."
"Okay, no problem, feel free to contact me anytime."
Chen Ran and Cui Minghao exchanged contact information, but instead of putting away their phones, Chen Ran turned his gaze to Cui Xueli beside him.
"Sherry and Krystal are teammates. Could you please add my contact information so I can pass on this to Krystal and then give her mine?"
Choi Sulli paused for a moment, and her first thought was not to refuse, but to look at Choi Myung-ho beside her.
Cui Minghao nodded slightly.
His relationship with Yin Helin is quite special, and he's also a screenwriter with a project about to start filming. Such connections are definitely worth cultivating.
Seeing her manager nod, Choi Sulli took out her phone, added Chen Ran's contact information, and then left with her manager.
Chen Ran looked at the new profile picture on Kakao and smiled slightly.
Step one, successful.
"Xiao Ran, this is Director Jeon Ki-sang."
"Director Quan, this is Chen Ran, a newly signed screenwriter for HD, a very talented young man."
Yin Helin introduced the two to each other.
"Hello, Director Quan, I'm Chen Ran." Chen Ran bowed and greeted him.
Jeon Ki-sang smiled and waved his hand, then stood up and gestured for the two to sit down on the guest sofa.
"A person who can get Representative Yoon to come in person must be a very outstanding young man."
"You're too kind."
After the three of them sat on the sofa and exchanged a few pleasantries, Yoon Ha-rim told Jeon Ki-sang about his desire to invite him to direct "School 2013".
Jeon Ki-sang frowned upon hearing this: "I'm really sorry, but just two days ago, I accepted SM's invitation to direct the filming of their script, and the schedule just clashed."
"The girl from f(x) who was just now, Choi Sulli, is the female lead in that drama."
Yin Helin's face showed regret: "That's really unfortunate."
The schedules clashed, so we'll have to find another director.
Jeon Ki-sang thought for a moment and then said, "If you trust me, I can recommend someone to you."
"Of course they are trustworthy," Yin Helin quickly replied.
Jeon Ki-sang got up and sat back down at his desk. He wrote down a phone number and a name on a piece of white paper and handed it to Yoon Ha-rim.
"This person is Lee Eung-bok. He was my assistant director when I was filming 'Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang.' He has also directed works independently in the past two years, and his handling of the camera is no worse than mine."
Yin Helin took the note: "Okay, I'll contact Director Li Yingfu when I get back. Thank you, Director Quan."

Around 8 p.m., as night began to fall and the city lights came on.
The dormitory of f(x) in a certain residential area in Cheongdam-dong.
One of the doors opened, and Krystal, the 12 version of Jung Soo-jung, walked in with tired steps.
Choi Sulli, who was lying on the bed playing on her phone, heard the noise and turned her head:
"Soojung, you're back."
"Um."
Krystal nodded weakly, then leaned back and slammed herself onto the bed.
Choi Sulli smiled when she saw this.
Although their group is known as the "stepmother group," they are still quite busy at times.
Especially her, Krystal, and V's mom, these three popular members.
Looking at Krystal Jung, Sulli quickly recalled what happened at SBS TV station earlier that day.
"By the way, Soojung, there's something I need to tell you..."
After hearing the whole story, Krystal Jung sat up in bed and frowned, saying:
"You mean that person's name is Chen Ran?"
"Yes, do you know Krystal?"
Krystal shook her head: "I don't know it, but my unnie does. She's also talked to me about this script."
Sulli was taken aback: "Jessica unnie?"
"right."
"Since it's someone Jessica knows, then there's no problem at all. You can just go for the audition."
Krystal Jung still frowned: "It's not that I think there's a problem with the script, it's that I think this Chen Ran is a bit strange."
Choi Sulli tilted her head in confusion: "What's strange about it? I think it's perfectly normal."
She didn't think Chen Ran was a bad person.
"Look."
Jung Soo-jung analyzed, "Since Chen Ran knows my unnie and has my unnie's contact information, why would he need to add your contact information, ask you to tell me about this, or ask you to give me his contact information? He could just contact my unnie directly."
Choi Sulli was taken aback.
That's right.
Chen Ran could have just asked Jessica unnie for Krystal's contact information directly, why did he have to go through me?
Could it be that he actually came for me?
