Peninsula: I created the golden age of girl groups

"Is it... Yoo Jae-suk?"

Yu Yongzhen vaguely overheard the conversation and asked curiously.

Because he has long worked behind the scenes, he hasn't had much interaction with Yoo Jae-suk.

However, he was also aware of Yoo Jae-suk's extraordinary status in the industry and his extensive network of connections.

However, judging from the familiar tone in Jiang Yuhe's voice when he answered the phone just now, it was clear that their relationship seemed to be more than just a simple senior-junior relationship.

It exudes an unusual sense of closeness and trust.

"Um."

Jiang Yuhe nodded and explained apologetically, "Teacher, it might be necessary for you to go see Chairman Lee Soo-man and the others first. Brother Shi has something urgent to discuss with me, and I need to go there immediately."

"Go."

Yu Yongzhen nodded, his face showing understanding. After thinking for a moment, he moved closer and whispered a word of advice: "Yoo Jae-suk has a special status in the industry, and his connections and reputation are top-notch. The fact that he's in such a hurry to find you means he must have something important to say. It might be an opportunity, so you must... seize it, but also be careful with your words, observe and listen carefully, and speak cautiously."

His words were full of concern, clearly indicating that he had completely regarded Jiang Yuhe as one of his own, which was why he took the initiative to offer advice.

"Yes, I understand, thank you, teacher."

Jiang Yuhe could naturally sense the sincerity in his words, and his heart warmed. "Then I'll go first."

After saying that, he turned around, hurriedly grabbed the backpack next to him, and prepared to rush out.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Yu Yongzhen reacted quickly, grabbing him and saying with a wry smile, "You're planning to... go like this?"

Jiang Yuhe was taken aback upon hearing this and looked down at himself.

He was wearing a shirt and jeans that he had worn for several days and were already wrinkled beyond recognition.

His hair was dry and brittle like a bird's nest from staying up late for days on end, and his eyes and brows were filled with deep fatigue.

If he really goes to the planning meeting with Yoo Jae-suk like this...

Forget about seizing any opportunities; they'll probably lose points immediately because of their terrible image, and even make Yoo Jae-suk lose face.

Yu Yongzhen looked at Jiang Yuhe's embarrassed face and smiled helplessly. He then pointed to a small door next to him, "That's the shower room. Hurry up and wash up, and get yourself ready!"

He paused, then added, "Oh right, and this outfit of yours... it's definitely not going to work! Let me see... you go wash it first, and I'll go find you a presentable set of clothes."

"Looking for?" Jiang Yuhe asked, somewhat puzzled.

"SM has plenty of other things, but can't they even find clothes?"

Yoo Young-jin said matter-of-factly, "With so many idols and trainees in the company, there are mountains of stage outfits, personal clothes, and sponsored clothes. Are you worried about not finding an outfit that fits your body type? Hurry up and go! Stop dawdling!"

As he spoke, he grabbed a brand-new bath towel from the cabinet next to him, shoved it into Jiang Yuhe's arms, and pushed him into the shower room.

……

After washing up, Jiang Yuhe walked out of the bath pavilion.

A complete set of clothes was already neatly arranged on the bench outside the door.

A shirt, a jacket, trousers, and even unopened underwear and cotton socks, as well as a pair of shiny leather shoes.

The clothes looked almost brand new, were ironed neatly and crisply, and had a faint, pleasant scent of fabric softener.

Jiang Yuhe felt another surge of emotion and quickly changed his clothes.

After tidying himself up a bit, he realized that quite some time had passed, so he didn't dare to delay and quickly ran downstairs to wait in front of the SM building.

Not long after, a black sedan that looked a bit old drove up smoothly and stopped in front of him.

The passenger window rolled down, and Yoo Jae-suk leaned out, waving at him. "Come on in!"

"Jae-seok hyung!"

Jiang Yuhe quickly opened the passenger door and got in.

"Fasten your seatbelts!"

Yoo Jae-suk looked ahead, gave a reminder, then restarted the car and merged into the traffic.

"Time is short, so I'll just give you a brief overview of the situation!"

As Yoo Jae-suk drove, he quickly sorted out his thoughts. "You probably know what happened. It was the planning meeting for that new variety show. The process wasn't supposed to be this urgent, but I don't know where things went wrong, and suddenly it became urgent."

He paused, his expression becoming even more serious. "I heard there will be quite a few people coming today, and they're all important figures. Apparently, the head of the Variety Show Department, Zhao Hengji, will be there in person. Others, like PD Zhang Hyukjae and PD Zhao Xiaojin, whom you know, will definitely be there too. And then there will be writers, FDs..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuhe immediately fell into deep thought.

Minister Zhao Heng... he's one of the top executives of SBS's Variety Department.

Even he personally attended this planning meeting, which shows how much SBS values ​​this new variety show!

"Yes, I understand."

Jiang Yuhe nodded, then cautiously asked, "Um... bro, is X-MAN... almost over?"

Yoo Jae-suk's hand paused slightly, and his expression instantly became complicated. "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you... Well, the time has been set. The farewell special will air on April 8th."

"April 8th..."

Jiang Yuhe murmured softly, feeling a moment of disorientation.

His irregular sleep schedule during this period made him almost forget the concept of time.

It's almost mid-March.

Judging from the current recording schedule of "X-MAN", the next recording should be the last one.

With these thoughts in mind, a sense of melancholy arose in his heart.

Sensing Kang Woo-hyuk's low spirits, Yoo Jae-suk felt a pang of sympathy.

He's seen many shows come and go, but X-MAN holds a special place in his heart, serving as one of the starting points for his career to take off.

It carries too many memories and glories.

After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to comfort her, saying, "It's okay! Look at how well you're doing these days! You're almost an actor! But..."

Yoo Jae-suk then changed the subject, becoming serious, "The competition for the regular MC spot on this new variety show will definitely be fierce. Although I and PD Cho have recommended you, whether you can ultimately get on depends on your own performance and whether you can impress the department head and the other PDs."

"Yes! Jae-seok hyung, I will definitely do my best!"

Jiang Yuhe quickly composed himself and solemnly replied.

In fact, during this period, he had already sorted out all the information about "Family Outing" in his mind.

For example, the program format, highlights of each segment, and even the general situation of "Infinite Challenge" and "2 Days & 1 Night," which may compete with it in the future.

The perspective he was taking was not that of the program planner.

However, he believes that by combining his macro perspective from his time travel with his micro-level experience from his personal involvement, he will surely be able to offer some insightful observations.

The car drove smoothly and soon arrived at the SBS headquarters in Mokdong.

After parking the car, Yoo Jae-suk led Kang Woo-hyuk straight into the building, took the elevator, and headed straight to the floor where the Variety Show Bureau was located.

The two quickly arrived at a conference room.

The meeting room door was ajar, and even before entering, a strong smell of smoke could be smelled wafting out.

Inside, faint whispers and the rustling of turning pages could be heard, creating an inexplicably heavy atmosphere.

Yoo Jae-suk was clearly already used to this.

He simply straightened his clothes slightly, then, without hesitation, pushed open the door and entered the conference room with Jiang Yuhe.
