Chapter 412 Sudden Mission
Huaxia, Star City, in a snack street.
"So this is the true face of China?"
"Is there a big difference between the feeling and the impression?"
Looking at the turbulent flow of people inside the snack street, the antique buildings in the street, and the blending of high-rise buildings not far away, I couldn't help but sigh.
But it's not surprising that she had such a feeling. It was really the shock that Hua Xia brought to her. It was really too great.
In her original impression, China should be a relatively backward existence.
But when they arrived here last night, not to mention the very modern and even futuristic terminal building, she was very shocked when they came out of the airport and saw the night scenery on both sides of the road.
So this morning, after waking up from sleep, I took Sunny out for a walk and visited this modern metropolis.
Next to her, Quan Yuli, who insisted on following the two of them when they saw them coming out, also nodded in agreement.
"It's true, Ernie, if I hadn't come here, how could I have believed that a city of Star City's level is no worse than Seoul."
"In fact, the environment here seems to be better than that in Seoul."
Although this is not the first time for them to come to China, when they came here before, they usually attended shows or parties, stayed here for one night and then left.
It wasn't until this morning that they truly understood Hua Xia.
Just as the two were sighing, Sunny returned to them with two bowls of snacks.
"Okay, let's try it. This is the most famous local snack, stinky tofu."
"Hurry up and finish your meal. We have to go back to the hotel soon, otherwise Oppa Sunwoo should be anxious."
With that said, Sunny handed the paper bowl in his hand to the two of them.
Jin Xiaoyuan and Kwon Yuri didn't care about sighing at this time, and quickly took the snack from Sunny's hand.
When they came here just now, they had their eyes on this snack.
So after Sunny helped buy it back, the two of them were not polite at all. After thanking Sunny, they couldn't wait to taste it.
As soon as the stinky tofu entered their mouths, the two of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.
I originally thought the smell would be stronger, but as soon as I took my mouth, I found that the smell of stinky tofu itself disappeared in an instant.
Instead, a different fragrance blooms in the mouth.
Chewing gently, the crispy outer shell of stinky tofu, the dense texture inside, and even the rich taste of crushed peanuts and chili garlic sauce made the two of them intoxicated.
After tasting two or three pieces, Jin Xiaoyuan looked at Sunny next to him and said.
"No wonder you have been traveling to China whenever you have time in the past six months. Besides Brother-in-law Huang, is it because there are so many delicious food here?"
"But why didn't you tell us?"
"Ah~~, didn't I say that?"
"Obviously you didn't pay attention."
Sunny listened to Jin Xiaoyuan's complaints and responded unceremoniously.
"Every time I go to China, I don't bring you gifts when I go back. I bring you Chinese specialties and delicacies."
"And the food I ate here was also posted to the group and shared with you?"
"Yeah!"
Listening to Sunny's words, Jin Xiaoyuan felt a little guilty, but then he stopped talking and concentrated on enjoying the food.
But Quan Yuli, who was next to him, suddenly said to Sunny.
"Onie, when did you start learning Chinese?"
"I see that you were basically able to communicate with the people here without any barriers just now?"
"Hehe, that's right, not to mention communication is barrier-free, even reading and writing, I have mastered part of it now."
Hearing Quan Yuli say this, Sunny's face showed a proud expression.
It took a lot of effort to reach her current level of mastery of Chinese.
Of course, the most important thing is that Huang Xu and Goo Hara are there to accompany her in training.
And what she just said that she now has no barriers to communication is actually a bit of a boast.
According to her current progress, she has only just reached the level of daily communication.
But this doesn't stop her from bragging with her teammates.
And looking at Sunny's proud look, Quan Yuli didn't suspect anything and just asked Sunny.
"Ouni, you have put so much effort into Chinese now, have you already recognized Brother Huang?"
"He is from China. He will return to China sooner or later?"
"Why, what's wrong with him being Chinese?"
Sunny didn't expect Quan Yuli to say such words, so she frowned and looked at him.
"Do you look down on China?"
"No, I didn't mean that, Ernie."
Seeing Sunny's frown, Quan Yuli quickly explained.
"I just think it's better to be more cautious about this matter."
"After all, isn't there Ha La with Brother-in-law Huang?"
"This matter will be dealt with later."
"Don't worry Yu Li, we have considered this matter, don't worry."
Sunny saw that Quan Yuli was worried about her, and her expression became much better, and then she said to Quan Yuli.
"And our situation is a bit special. You don't understand many things, so you have this kind of worry."
"If you really walked into my position, you probably wouldn't have this idea."
"And have you forgotten? I am a non-marriage person!"
"Non-marriage?"
When Quan Yuli heard this word again, he suddenly felt very ridiculous.
A long time ago, Sunny has been flaunting his non-marriage policy, and even said that he is a celibate and will not fall in love, let alone get married.
The result?
Not long after she said this, she was with Huang Xu.
And now they have begun to learn Chinese to prepare for meeting Huang Xu's parents in the future, or to live in China.
Isn't it a bit too much to say that he is a non-marriage person?
Sunny naturally saw Quan Yuli's eyes, but she didn't explain much.
Her relationship with Hwang Wook, Goo Hara, and even Kim Taeyeon and Park Hyomin is not something that outsiders can understand.
And it was very difficult to explain, so I stopped explaining and continued to talk to the two of them.
"Eat quickly, we have to go back for a meeting later, otherwise Oppa Sunwoo will definitely be anxious."
"Okay, okay, let's speed up now."
Then the three people who speeded up quickly eliminated the snacks in their hands. Then they bought some for their teammates in the snack street and rushed towards the hotel.
When they returned to the hotel and came to the conference room, there were already many people sitting inside.
Seeing this situation, the three of them quickly sat next to their teammates.
Kim Taeyeon looked at Sunny and the others who had just returned and asked directly with a frown.
"Why are you coming back now? Didn't you say you would go out for a walk and be back soon?"
"Hey, I accidentally spun a few times too many times."
"And isn't it too late?"
Faced with Kim Taeyeon's questioning, Sunny didn't feel nervous at all. Instead, he took out the snacks that he and others had just bought and distributed them to the surrounding teammates. "Come on, come on, we brought you a lot of snacks when we came back. Do you want to try anything?"
"I, I want it."
"I want it too."
"."
Everyone in the group looked at the snacks that Sunny and the others were carrying and responded one after another, reaching out to ask for snacks from Sunny and the others.
Even the SJ member next to him shamelessly extended his hand.
Seeing this, several black lines suddenly appeared on Kim Taeyeon's milk-white face.
She looked at sunny with an unkind expression.
"Sunny, I'm not kidding you. You can't do that again next time."
"You are unfamiliar with the place here, and there is no assistant following you. Are you not afraid of danger when you go out?"
"And you don't speak Chinese. If something happens, how can I explain it to Huang Xu and the company?"
"Don't worry, Taeyeon, the public security in China is still good, especially in provincial capital cities like Star City."
"Most places here are very safe."
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon's anxious look and felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly explained a few words to Kim Taeyeon.
But then the conversation changed and he asked Kim Taeyeon directly.
"And who said I don't know Chinese? My current level of Chinese is enough to enable barrier-free communication."
"Really?"
“Has your Chinese proficiency improved so quickly?”
"I remember you were studying with Huang Xu a few days ago. Can you communicate without any barriers now?"
After listening to Sunny's words, Kim Taeyeon looked at Sunny with some doubts.
If her memory is correct, shouldn't Sunny's Chinese proficiency improve so quickly?
Sunny saw that Kim Taeyeon was about to expose her. Before she could explain, she heard Kim Hyoyeon say next to her.
"It's the real Taeyeon, Sunny's Chinese is really good."
"Whether we take a taxi or go shopping, she is the one who communicates."
"Yeah, I'll testify."
Kwon Yuri suddenly stood up to testify for Kim Hyo-yeon.
Seeing the reactions of Kim Hyoyeon and Kwon Yuri, although Kim Taeyeon was still a little confused, she could only speak to Sunny at this time.
"I didn't expect your progress to be quite fast. I really didn't expect it."
"That's right, I worked very hard."
Although she still felt a little guilty, now that she was in this situation, Sunny could only nod and admit it.
But the next development of things was somewhat beyond Sunny's expectations.
After she admitted that her Chinese proficiency was not bad, today's meeting began as everyone arrived.
The purpose of today's meeting is actually very simple. It is for employees who are familiar with Huaxia to briefly introduce the program they will participate in today.
Then I will introduce the things that need to be paid attention to, including the content and process.
But when it was about to end, the man suddenly said something.
“I don’t know if any of you can speak Chinese. If so, this is a good selling point and a bonus.”
"."
Look down there, you look at me, I look at your SJ and the rest of SNSD, he was not disappointed.
As he said, this is just a plus point. If it has it, it's better. If it doesn't, it's not a big deal.
After all, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world. Most foreigners, unless they have lived in China for a long time or are professional language workers, will rarely learn Chinese.
Especially for these artists, who gave up their studies at a very young age and joined the company as trainees, the chances of them being able to speak Chinese are even smaller.
However, you can’t ask too much of them. Just learn how to say hello in Chinese and introduce yourself.
However, what he didn't expect was that Jin Xiaoyuan suddenly raised Sunny's arm.
“sunny can speak Chinese!”
"And her Chinese level is still very high, and she can now communicate without any barriers."
Following Jin Xiaoyuan's words, everyone in the room looked at Sunny who raised his arms.
However, at this time, Sunny was directly confused by Kim Hyoyeon's sudden attack.
She didn't expect that Jin Xiaoyuan would do such a thing.
However, if she wanted to refuse now, it seemed impossible.
Because what he was bragging to Kim Taeyeon just now was heard by more than one person, so now he can only force himself to nod.
"Gui, I know a little bit."
"I should be fine with normal communication."
. . . . . .
While SM staff were having a meeting, six members of Tara and the accompanying staff were also having a meeting in a conference room of another hotel not far away.
Of course, just like the meeting over there, it was mainly the staff's explanations to Tara and the others.
"The program for the evening has now been decided. After the program group opens, you will be the first to perform on stage, followed by Girls' Generation, and finally SJ."
"However, since there are a large number of people, you must answer quickly after hearing the host's question, so that you can get a better shot."
"In addition, please take a look at the information of these hosts, especially this one, who is the main star of the show, you must"
"."
"Gui, we will perform well."
Listening to the staff's arrangements, Tara and the others also acted very seriously.
They have been in China for such a long time, and they have a clear influence on the programs they will participate in next.
This is one of the most influential programs in China.
If it weren't for Huang Xu's exchange with the cultural and tourism department, it would be difficult for them to be on a stage of this level.
So they seemed very serious, even though they were already familiar with these precautions.
After going through the precautions here, the staff asked Tara and the others the same questions as SM.
"By the way, how is your Chinese learning going now?"
"Can we have a conversation?"
"Well, it's still quite difficult right now. I can only have the simplest conversations."
Naturally, Tara and the others understood why the staff asked.
Although when they go on stage, they will hire very professional translators to translate.
But no matter how skilled the interpreter is, even at the highest level of simultaneous interpretation, there will still be a certain delay.
This makes the program flow less smoothly.
But if you can communicate in Chinese, then the situation is completely different, and there will be a lot more shots.
However, the staff was not disappointed, and then explained to several people.
"As long as you can have simple communication, you must be more positive when answering questions."
"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. This program is recorded and can be edited."
"If it can have good results, then it will be a success for you."
