Chapter 412 Sudden Mission

China, Xingcheng, in a snack street.

"So this is the true face of China?"

"It feels quite different from what you imagined, huh?"

Looking at the surging flow of people inside the snack street, the antique buildings in the street, and the high-rise buildings not far away blending together, I couldn't help but sigh.

But it's no wonder that she would have such a feeling, because the shock that China brought to her was really too great.

In her original impression, China should be a relatively backward country.

But when they arrived here last night, not to mention the extremely modern and even futuristic terminal, just the night views on both sides of the road when they came out of the airport made her feel very shocked.

So this morning, after waking up from a good sleep, I took Sunny out for a walk and to visit this modern metropolis.

Next to her, Kwon Yuri, who saw the two people coming out and insisted on following them, also nodded in agreement.

"That's true, unnie. If you hadn't come here, how could you have believed that a city of Star City is actually no worse than Seoul."

"In fact, the environment here seems to be better than Seoul."

Although this was not the first time for them to come to China, when they came here before, they basically participated in programs or parties and stayed here for one night before leaving.

It was not until this morning that they truly came to know China.

Just as the two were sighing, Sunny came back to them with two bowls of snacks.

"Okay, try it. This is the most famous local snack, stinky tofu."

"Hurry up and finish eating. We have to go back to the hotel soon, otherwise Sunwoo Oppa will be worried."

As she spoke, Sunny handed the paper bowl in her hand to the two of them.

Kim Hyoyeon and Kwon Yuri didn't have time to sigh at this point and quickly took the snacks from Sunny's hands.

When they came here just now, they set their eyes on this snack.

So after Sunny helped buy it, the two of them didn't show any courtesy. After thanking Sunny, they couldn't wait to taste it.

As soon as they took a bite of the stinky tofu, their eyes widened involuntarily.

I originally thought that the taste would be quite strong, but after taking a bite, I found that the smell of the stinky tofu itself disappeared instantly.

Instead, a different fragrance blooms in the mouth.

Chewing it gently, the crispy outer shell of the stinky tofu, the soft texture inside, and even the rich flavor of crushed peanuts and chili garlic sauce made the two of them intoxicated.

After tasting two or three pieces, Kim Hyoyeon looked at Sunny next to her and said.

"No wonder you've been going to China whenever you have time in the past six months. It turns out that besides being with Brother-in-law Huang, it's also because there are so many delicious foods here?"

"But why didn't you tell us?"

"Ah~~, didn't I tell you that?"

"It was obviously you who didn't pay attention."

Sunny listened to Kim Hyoyeon's complaints and responded without any hesitation.

"Every time I go to China, I don't bring you any gifts or Chinese delicacies when I return."

"And didn't I also post the food I ate here in the group and share it with you?"

"Yeah too!"

After listening to Sunny's words, Kim Hyoyeon felt a little guilty, and then she stopped talking and concentrated on enjoying the food.

However, Kwon Yuri next to her suddenly spoke to Sunny.

"Ouni, when did you start learning Chinese?"

"I saw that you were able to communicate with the people here basically without any obstacles just now, right?"

"Hehe, that's right. Not to mention communication, I have mastered some of the reading and writing skills now."

When Sunny heard what Kwon Yuri said, a proud expression immediately appeared on her face.

She has put in a lot of effort to reach her current level of mastery of the Chinese language.

Of course, the most important thing is that Huang Xu and Goo Hara are there to accompany her in training on weekdays.

And what she just said, that she can communicate without any obstacles, is actually a bit of bragging.

According to her current progress, she has just reached the level of daily communication.

But that doesn't stop her from bragging to her teammates.

And looking at Sunny's proud look, Kwon Yuri didn't doubt anything and just asked Sunny.

"Ouni, you are putting so much effort into Chinese now. Have you decided that you will be Huang's brother-in-law?"

"He is a Chinese. He will have to return to China sooner or later, right?"

"Why, he is Chinese, what's wrong?"

Sunny didn't expect Kwon Yuri to say such a thing, so she just frowned and looked at her.

"Do you look down on China?"

"No, I didn't mean that, unnie."

Seeing Sunny’s frown, Kwon Yuri hurriedly explained.

"I just think that it's better to be more cautious about this matter."

"After all, doesn't Brother Huang still have Hola?"

"This matter will be dealt with later."

"Don't worry, Yuri. We have considered this matter. Don't worry."

Sunny saw that Kwon Yuri was worried about her, and her complexion became much better. She then spoke to Kwon Yuri.

"Besides, our situation is somewhat special. You don't understand a lot of things, so you are worried."

"If you were in my position, you probably wouldn't have that thought."

"And have you forgotten? I am a non-marriage advocate!"

"Non-marriage?"

When Kwon Yuri heard this word again, she suddenly felt it was extremely ridiculous.

A long time ago, Sunny has always claimed that she is not in favor of marriage, and even said that she is a bachelor and will not fall in love, let alone get married.

The results of it?
Not long after she said this, she was together with Huang Xu.

And now they have started learning Chinese in preparation for meeting Huang Xu's parents in the future, or living in China.

Isn't it a bit too much to say that he is not in favor of marriage?

Sunny naturally saw Kwon Yuri's eyes, but did not explain too much.

The relationship between her and Huang Xu, Goo Hara, and even Kim Taeyeon and Park Hyomin is not something that outsiders can understand.

And it was very difficult to explain, so he just stopped explaining and continued talking to the two of them.

"Eat quickly, we have to go back for a meeting soon, otherwise Sunwoo Oppa will definitely be worried."

"Okay, okay, let's speed up now."

The three of them then quickened their pace and quickly finished the snacks in their hands. They then went to the snack street to buy some for their teammates and rushed to the hotel.

By the time they returned to the hotel and came to the conference room, there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

When the three of them saw this situation, they 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 back just now? Didn't you say you were going out for a walk and would be back soon?"

"Hey, I accidentally turned a few more times."

"And isn't it too late?"

Facing Kim Taeyeon's questioning, Sunny was not nervous at all, but directly took out the snacks that she and others had just bought and distributed them to the teammates around her. "Come on, we brought you a lot of snacks when we came back, do you want to try any?"

"I, I want it."

"I also want."

"."

The crowd, looking at the snacks in the hands of Sunny and the other two, responded one after another and reached out to ask for snacks from Sunny and the others.

Even the SJ member next to them shamelessly extended his hand.

Seeing this situation, several black lines suddenly appeared on Kim Taeyeon's snow-white face.

She looked at Sunny with a bad expression.

"Sunny, I'm not kidding you. You can't do this again next time."

"You are unfamiliar with this place, and you don't have an assistant with you. Aren't you afraid of getting into danger when you go out?"

"Besides, you don't speak Chinese. If something happens, how can I explain it to Huang Xu and the company?"

"Don't worry, Taeyeon. China's security is still good, especially in a provincial capital like Xingcheng."

"Most places here are very safe."

Sunny felt a little embarrassed when she saw Kim Taeyeon's anxious look, and quickly explained a few words to her.

But then he changed the subject and asked Kim Taeyeon directly.

"And who said I can't speak Chinese? My current Chinese level is good enough for barrier-free communication."

"Really?"

“Has your Chinese improved so quickly?”

"I remember you were still studying with Huang Xu a few days ago. Can you communicate with him without any obstacles now?"

Listening to Sunny's words, Kim Taeyeon looked at Sunny with some confusion.

If her memory is correct, shouldn't Sunny's Chinese level have improved so quickly?
Sunny saw that Kim Taeyeon was about to expose her, but before she could explain, she heard Kim Hyoyeon next to her say.

"It's true Taeyeon, Sunny's Chinese is really amazing."

"Whether we need to take a taxi or go shopping, she is the one who makes the arrangements."

"Yes, I will testify."

Kwon Yuri suddenly stood up to testify for Kim Hyoyeon.

Seeing the reactions of Kim Hyoyeon and Kwon Yuri, Kim Taeyeon was still a little confused, but at this time she could only speak to Sunny.

"I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. I really didn't expect it."

"That's right, I tried very hard."

Although she still felt a little guilty, now that the situation had come to this, Sunny could only nod and acknowledge it.

But the subsequent development of the matter was somewhat beyond Sunny's expectations.

After she admitted that her Chinese level was pretty good, today's meeting began as everyone arrived.

The purpose of today's meeting is actually very simple, which is for employees who are familiar with China to briefly introduce the program they will participate in today.

Then I will introduce the things that need attention, including the content and process.

But when it was almost over, that person suddenly said something.

"I wonder if anyone among you can speak Chinese. If so, this would be a good selling point and a plus."

"."

Looking at the group of people below, you look at me, I look at your SJ and Girls' Generation, he was not disappointed.

Just like he said, this is just a plus point. If you have it, it’s better, but if you don’t, it’s not a big deal.

After all, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages ​​to learn in the world. Generally, unless foreigners have lived in China for a long time or are professional language workers, few people will learn Chinese.

Especially for these artists, who gave up their studies at a very young age and entered the company as trainees, the chance of them knowing Chinese is even smaller.

But we can't expect too much from them. They just need to learn how to say hello in Chinese and introduce themselves.

However, what he didn't expect was that Kim Hyoyeon suddenly raised Sunny's arm.

"Sunny knows Chinese!"

"And her Chinese proficiency is very high. Now she can communicate without any obstacles."

Following Kim Hyoyeon's words, everyone in the room looked at Sunny who raised her arms.

However, at this time, Sunny was completely stunned by Kim Hyoyeon's sudden attack.

She didn't expect Kim Hyoyeon to do such a thing.

However, if she wanted to refuse now, it seemed unlikely.

Because the boasting he had just said to Kim Taeyeon was heard by more than one person, he could only force himself to nod his head.

"Yes, I can do it a little bit."

"General communication should be fine with me."

. . . . . .

While all SM staff were in a meeting, in a conference room of another hotel not far away, the six members of Tara and their accompanying staff were also in a meeting.

Of course, just like the meeting over there, it was mainly the staff's instructions to Tara and the others.

"The evening's program has now been confirmed. After the program team opens the show, you will be the first to go on stage to perform, followed by Girls' Generation, and finally SJ."

"However, since there are so many people, you must answer quickly after hearing the host's questions, so that you can get more shots."

"Also, please take a look at the profiles of these hosts, especially this one, who is the main guest of the show, so you must..."

"."

"Yes, we will behave well."

Listening to the staff's arrangements, Tara and the others were also very serious.

They have been in China for such a long time, so they are very clear about the influence they will have on the next show they will participate in.

This is one of the most influential programs in the whole of China.

If Huang Xu hadn't sought exchange with the cultural and tourism department, it would have been difficult for them to get on a stage of this level.

So they all seemed very serious, even though they were probably already familiar with these precautions.

After going through the precautions, the staff asked Tara and the others the same questions as they did for SM.

"By the way, how is your Chinese study going now?"

"Can we have a conversation?"

"Well, it's still quite difficult right now. I can only have the simplest conversations."

Tara and the others naturally understood why the staff asked this.

Although when they go on stage, they will hire very professional translators to translate.

But no matter how skilled the translator is, even at the highest level of simultaneous interpretation, there will still be a certain delay.

This made the show not run as smoothly.

But if we can communicate in Chinese, the situation will be completely different, and there will be many more shots.

However, the staff was not disappointed and continued to explain to several people.

"As long as you can have a simple conversation, you must be proactive when answering questions."

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. This show is recorded and can be edited."

"If it can have a good effect, it will be a great thing for you."
