Chapter 87 Hehehe

A few days later, at the JYP recording studio.

..It ain『t my fault you got me so caught, Oh, well that』s too bad it

ain't my fault.

As the girl finished singing her last line, Pei Xiyan nodded in satisfaction. He moved closer to the swivel chair and leaned towards the microphone at the production table. "Okay, that's good this time."

Upon hearing his affirmation, a small head with a high ponytail peeked out from behind the microphone in the recording studio and cheerfully gave an "OK" sign to the person on the other side of the glass.

Huang Lizhi is going to participate in "The Fan" in a few days, so I asked him to help record the performance audio for when he goes on stage.

"I didn't expect such great progress in the second recording." Pei Xiyan deftly operated the computer, imported the recorded song into the hard drive, and handed it to Huang Lizhi after he came over.

"Because I have experience now." Huang Lizhi smiled as he took the hard drive. "Thank you, producer."

"9

"It's nothing." Pei Xiyan smiled. "I'm sure Lizhi will ignite the entire venue with this song."

"Kamsahamida." Huang Lizhi grinned and nodded happily.

"By the way, how long was the recording of the show again?" Pei Xiyan hadn't had a chance to ask before.

"Number 24," Huang Lizhi replied.

"Three more days." Pei Xiyan smiled at her. "How are you? Still nervous?"

"There's one more thing." Huang Lizhi pursed his lips.

How could she not be nervous?

The countdown date is like a fire that's about to burn all the way to your eyebrows. Even if you've practiced enough, you can't help but worry when the moment comes that you might not be able to control the flame properly and end up burning your eyebrows off.

She cherishes her eyebrows.

"Here." Pei Xiyan took the backpack from the side, took out the snacks she had bought yesterday, and handed them to her. "Eating something will help relieve your tension."

Hwang Li-ji's fox-like eyes were almost wide open.

The bag contained a variety of snacks, including watermelon-flavored candy she had eaten before, and her favorite cookies... But she didn't reach out to take them. Instead, she looked at Pei Xiyan with a surprised expression, "Producer-nim?"

She didn't know why she was given it to her.

"Didn't I say that I would give you some compensation when your lyrics are accepted? But since the song hasn't been released yet, it's too early to talk about copyright fees, so we'll use snacks as the initial compensation," Pei Xiyan explained.

This was the result of his thinking over the past few days. He knew that trainees' daily training intensity was very high, and they inevitably needed to replenish their energy in between, and snacks were the best way to do so.

"Copyright fees?" Huang Lizhi blinked, catching the word in his words, his expression even more surprised. "We'll have copyright fees?"

"Why not?" Pei Xiyan felt she was asking a question she already knew the answer to. "Because you guys wrote the lyrics."

"But..." Huang Lizhi was a little dizzy, "We're already very grateful that the producer gave us this opportunity, why would we still be thinking about royalties?"

This was something they simply couldn't imagine.

"The copyright fees are what you deserve," Pei Xiyan said matter-of-factly, then chuckled and joked, "Does Li Zhi want me to be exposed as a heartless capitalist who exploits child labor and become a hot topic?"

"Ani, that's not what I meant." Hwang Yee-ji's pupils shrank, and he shook his head.

"Here you go." Pei Xiyan shook the bag of snacks in her hand again. "So take it."

Hwang Yee-ji hesitated for a moment, then said, "Thank you, producer."

Pei Xiyan held it lightly, but when she took it, she realized how heavy it actually was; it was so heavy that she almost dropped it.

"Do you need me to help you take this back?" Pei Xiyan knew that the bag of snacks she bought was not light.

"I can do it." Hwang Ye-ji struggled to carry the bag of snacks, bowed politely to say goodbye, "I won't bother the producer-nim, goodbye producer-nim."

"Goodbye." Pei Xiyan waved to her, watching the figure carrying a bag of snacks as she struggled out of the recording studio, gently closing the door behind her. She smiled silently, then picked up her phone from the production table and made a call.

Once the call connected, he habitually held the phone a little further away.

"Hey? What does the big producer want with me?" Jin Nanxi's voice was as loud and carefree as ever; if it had been right next to my ear just now, it would have deafened me.

"How's the program you're overseeing doing lately?" Pei Xiyan asked directly.

"The first episode has already been recorded and will air on the 24th," Jin Nanxi said, then thought of a possibility, "What, do you want to participate? I can be your recommender, and I'll definitely make you a sensation throughout the peninsula!" He was already enthusiastically imagining the future, truly a mind that was hard to fathom.

"It's not my business," Pei Xiyan denied, then asked, "You should have the list of participants for the second round, right?"

"Of course." Having been friends for four or five years, Jin Nanxi instantly understood what he meant. "Are there any people you know on the list?"

"Yes, I've been working at JYP recently," Pei Xiyan prompted.

"JYP?" came the sound of pages turning. After a few seconds, Kim Nang-hee said, "Found her, it's this little girl named Hwang Ye-ji, right?"

"right."

"You have a rather unique appearance. Oh, so you like this kind of taste?"

Through his cheeky voice, Pei Xiyan seemed to see him winking and making faces at her.

"I feel like your brain is going to dye your hair yellow in a few days," Pei Xiyan remarked casually.

"Just kidding, don't take it so seriously. Is there anything you need me to do?"

"She's the leader of the new girl group whose songs I've been producing recently. She's a very talented and hardworking young woman," Pei Xiyan said. "This is her first time on stage, so please take care of her a little."

"Leave it to me, I'll definitely take good care of her."

Thanks.

"It's okay, but you can remember what you promised me before."

"Yes." Pei Xiyan sighed. "Don't worry, I'll wait until you have time."

"I reckon it should be available by December, hehe."

"Why are you smiling so lewdly?" Pei Xiyan complained.

"Otherwise, how am I supposed to laugh? Hehehehehehe?"

"Read less Chinese fantasy novels." Pei Xiyan sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"How did you know? This is hilarious, hehehehehe~"

When Hwang Ye-ji returned to the practice room with snacks, Shin Yuna stared wide-eyed, perfectly embodying the phrase "utterly dumbfounded."

"Unnie, weren't you going to record a video? Why did you change your plans and rob a snack shop halfway through?!" she asked in surprise.

The others had similar expressions; they looked at the snack bag, wondering which convenience store she had robbed nearby.

"What is this?" The snack bag was placed on the floor with a "thump." Hwang Ye-ji let out a long sigh and rubbed his slightly sore hands. "This was given to us by the producer."

"The producer?"

"Yes." Huang Lizhi nodded and then told them everything that had happened in the recording studio.
