Reborn Korea, I am not a chaebol

Chapter 157

In his previous life, Zhou Wenhua had always been curious about talent shows, and he wondered if there was any inside story in it.

In order to satisfy his curiosity and to see the quality of JYP trainees, Zhou Wenhua decided to watch the recording of the show live.

The trainees in the "Sixteen" program are all from JYP, so the early recording was relatively closed, and no audience was there to support them. Zhou Wenhua had to ask Li Shengli to help them figure out a way.

May 5th, Water Day (Wednesday).

Today is Lixia, which announces the departure of spring and the arrival of summer.

After the beginning of summer, the sunshine increases, the temperature gradually heats up, and the thunderstorms increase.

Li Shengli made it possible for Zhou Wenhua and him to enter the program recording site of "Sixteen" through finding a relationship. Since the program recording is divided into indoor and outdoor and the dormitory of the trainees, Zhou Wenhua and Li Shengli can only mix in the indoor recording to watch the scene.

The first recording was in M-net's studio, and Zhou Wenhua and Li Shengli pretended to be staff members to watch from below.

Before the recording of the program started, the staff were busy in the venue. Zhou Wenhua and Li Shengli sat in the corner and hid leisurely. They didn't show up until the recording of the program officially started.

The show officially started. When the lights flashed, Zhou Wenhua could clearly see the big JYP Logo displayed in the center of the stage.

When the lights gradually brightened from dark and the music sounded, the trainees who participated in this program were familiar with their appearance.

"They don't look very old."

Zhou Wenhua looked at the first few trainees who came out and said.

"Yes, they should be underage."

Li Shengli agreed.

"The one on the far left opposite us is Yu Shengyan's younger sister, Yu Dingyan."

Zhou Wenhua soon found Yu Dingyan in the crowd, only she had short hair.

"When did you see her?"

"Last week, there was the one wearing a red baseball cap named Lim Nayeon, and the one wearing a red wool cap named Jun Somi. She is of Canadian mixed race."

Zhou Wenhua seemed to be very familiar with the other party, he introduced Li Shengli.

"Wow, how do you know everyone?"

"We had dinner together last week."

Zhou Wenhua grinned.

On the stage, the trainees all had blank expressions. They didn't know what to do, they just stood there stupidly.

Zhou Wenhua counted, there are 16 trainees in total.

The lights gradually dimmed, and after the music stopped, a beam of top light shone on the rostrum, and a gorilla walked slowly to the rostrum with a smile on his face.

"Is he Park Zhenyong?"

Zhou Wenhua once saw Park Zhenyong in Running Man, and his unique appearance and figure made him deeply impressed by him.

"Yes, it's him."

Li Shengli replied.

Park Zhenyong smiled and said to the trainees, "Hello."

"Hello."

The trainees greeted him one after another.

"This is where we will record the program for the next three months, how about it?"

Park Zhenyong said the opening remarks.

"Is he also the host?"

"It looks like it should be."

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Wenhua sneered. This scene reminded him of attending the wedding of his junior high school classmate. The kid was both the master of ceremonies and the groom, which really shocked him.

"Yes."

The trainees answered very quietly, the expressions on their faces were still very dazed.

"For the sake of the show, you have to be divided into two groups, one is the major group and the other is the minor group."

"From now on, the members of the major group will receive the same treatment as current JYP artists, while the members of the minor group will still be treated as trainees."

"This group has been in contact with you for a long time. Our JYP professional teachers and planning teachers selected it. I will announce the grouping situation to you next."

Park Zhenyong spoke very slowly, and Zhou Wenhua was uncomfortable hearing it. He asked Li Shengli next to him, "Has he always spoken so slowly?"

"No, maybe it's for the effect of the show."

Li Shengli laughed dryly.

The big screen behind the stage lit up as Park Zhenyong’s voice fell, and it showed some video images of these 16 trainees from the time they participated in the JYP trainee selection to the present. The video from two or three years ago They all looked very immature.

The video played for three to four minutes. After the broadcast, everyone looked at Park Jin Young again.

"I'm going to reveal the members of the major group first." Park Jinyong paused for a few seconds and looked at Lin Nayeon and asked, "You, Nayeon, move towards the place where the major group is."

After hearing the result, Lin Nayeon's expression was not happy, but heavy. She bowed to Park Zhenyong and then left for the major group on the right side of the stage. Others applauded for her.

"Sana."

After Park Zhenyong called out her name, Zhou Wenhua saw a girl in a yellow skirt raised her hand. Her height is not bad, she should be over 165cm.

"Move to the minor group."

The girl named Sana walked in the opposite direction to Lim Nayeon very calmly.

"Minyoung, Jiwon, Momo, let's move to the major team."

The three girls walked slowly to Lin Nayeon's side. It could be seen that they were happy that they could be assigned to the stronger group.

"Caiyan, Cailing, it's a pity that you are in the minor group."

The two girls who looked very young showed disappointment on their faces.

"Mina."

"Yes."

A girl raised her hand in response.

"Because I'm not very familiar with your face, how long have you been practicing?"

"A year or so."

The girl's voice was soft.

Park Zhenyong tilted his head disdainfully, "Professional teachers and planning teachers seem to think that there is something special about you, and you belong to the major group."

"Hold."

Zhou Wenhua cursed in a low voice.

Damn, what are you wasting time for, can't you just read it directly?

Affiliate?
Although the other members were applauding for Mina, they didn't seem very convinced. After all, Mina only had one year of practice.

"Dingyan, Tzuyu, the minor group."

Yu Dingyan walked to the minor group in a bad mood.

"Is Dingyan not strong enough?"

Zhou Wenhua seemed to be talking to himself.

"may be."

In any case, Li Shengli had to answer the question.

"Somi, Eun Seo, Natty, the minor group."

Jeon Somi also went to the minor group.

"Caiying."

"Yes."

"Which group do you think you belong to?"

The girl named Caiying smiled confidently: "The major group."

"That's right, you belong to the major group."

Park Zhenyong said with a smile.

At first glance, Zhou Wenhua saw that this girl named Caiying looked a bit like Xia Xue from A Family With Children.

At the end there were only two girls left on the stage. Zhou Wenhua thought they were average-looking and didn't pay much attention to them. In the end, one of them went to the major group and the other went to the minor group.

"Wow, what a pity, that girl has practiced in JYP since she was a child, and it has been almost ten years. I didn't expect to go to the minor group now."

Li Shengli seemed to know that girl.

"Ah, this is the routine of entertainment shows, that girl will 100% make her debut."

Zhou Wenhua already knew this well.

After being divided into groups, Park Zhenyong asked the girls to move towards the dormitory. The next time they come here to record, they will officially perform on stage.

……

Namyangju
As soon as June arrives, Shin Yong-han will resign as chairman of the Youth Committee. Zhou Wenhua specially took Shin Yong-han to Namyang City to visit his new factory, and pretended to be mysterious that he would send a gift to each other.

Not long after the construction of the new factory started, everything on the construction site seemed chaotic.

Jin Zhengxun diligently guarded the construction site every day, and Zhou Wenhua simply greeted him after visiting the new factory and left in a hurry.

"Chairman, shall we have a light meal at the Korean cafeteria opposite the club at noon?"

After arriving at the Qihua Trading Club, Zhou Wenhua looked at the Yu family's sisters Han Canteen on the opposite side and said.

"Okay, I can do both."

In the cafeteria, Yu Xiuzhen arranged a quiet corner for them to sit down. Zhao Renzhu accompanied Zhou Wenhua and Shen Yonghan to sit at a table, and Yu Xiuzhen and other staff brought by Shen Yonghan sat at the next table.

"Wenhuaxi, are you planning to move the old factory to the new one?"

Before the food was served, Shen Yonghan asked him.

"No, the new factory is only used for the OEM cosmetics processing of Amore Pacific Group, and other factories remain unchanged."

"If this is the case, won't there be a lot of vacancies after your new factory is completed?"

"No, after the new factory is completed, in addition to the original workers of the cosmetics OEM factory, I plan to find another [-] to [-] workers."

It was the first time Zhao Renzhu heard Zhou Wenhua say that he wanted to recruit new employees. He asked suspiciously, "President, if we recruit so many more people, will there be any problems with the operation of our club?"

"Minister Zhao, have you forgotten that the contract we signed with Amorepacific Group and Samsung Electronics does not specify the quantity, it just says how much we ship and they will charge as much as they want, and they will settle according to the actual amount."

When they first signed the contract, Xu Qingpei and Zheng Xianhao didn't set an upper limit because of the old man's face.

"It's because I didn't read the contents of the contract carefully."

The contract was signed by Zhou Wenhua, so Zhao Renzhu naturally didn't know about it.

"Wenhuaxi, although the contract is not clear, if you want to increase production, you'd better inform President Xu and President Zheng first."

Shen Yonghan reminded him kindly.

"Chairman, I'm just expanding the size of the factory a bit. President Xu and President Zheng shouldn't mind. I'll let them know when I get down."

Zhou Wenhua said confidently.

The dishes were served one after another, Shen Yonghan looked around and asked Zhou Wenhua in a low voice: "Wenhuaxi, you said you want to give me a gift, what is it?"

"Chairman, haven't we already seen my gift?"

"You mean the factory?"

Shen Yonghan asked with a half understanding.

"Yes, my gift to you, chairman, is to help you solve the employment problem of two or three hundred people before you leave office."

Two or three hundred?

If Zhou Wenhua can help him solve the employment problem of [-] to [-] celebrities, Shen Yonghan may be able to gain a good reputation before leaving office, which will help him to participate in the Chungcheongbuk election, but [-] to [-] people are really useless. It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless to eat.

"Wenhuaxi, two or three hundred people is a good thing for Namyangju and Mayor Li, but it won't be too prominent for the whole of Korea and our youth committee."

Zhou Wenhua understood what Shen Yonghan meant, and he said with a smile: "Chairman, the employment problem of 300 people really cannot attract the attention of the people, but if these 300 people are physically disabled or from poor areas What about the young people?"

Vulnerable groups have always been the focus of people's attention and sympathy, not for anything else, but because they are not as good as most people.

"Wenhuaxi, do you mean that you recruit people with disabilities and youths from impoverished areas for the two to three hundred employees?"

Shin Yonghan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Yes."

"However, will this affect the production of your club?"

"Chairman, you don't have to worry about this. We will arrange suitable positions for each of them according to their own situation. I have four different factories, and I can arrange them no matter what."

Zhou Wenhua looked at Zhao Renzhu who was on the side, "Minister Zhao, do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I can understand."

Zhao Renzhu understood the ulterior motives of his president, using the disadvantaged groups to gain a good reputation for himself. Although it sounds a bit awkward, if it can really solve the living problems of the disadvantaged groups, it might not be a bad thing.

"Okay, Wen Huaxi, thank you."

Shen Yonghan toasted him with water instead of wine.

"Chairman, you are welcome. For specific matters, please arrange for someone to come down to meet with me. We will try our best to spread the news before the end of May."

"it is good."

Since taking office for more than a year, Shin Yonghan has never had anything special to do. This time he is about to leave office, which may instead attract the attention of the people.

In the afternoon, Zhou Wenhua stayed in the club to deal with other matters, and Shin Yonghan made it easier for him to bid farewell and return to Seoul after having lunch.

Girls' Generation Dormitory
Among the current members of Girls' Generation, except for Cui Xiuying and Kwon Yuri, all the others gathered in the living room of the dormitory. Some sat on the sofa and some sat on the wooden board. They seemed to be discussing something important. .

"So, you want to use Yuner's birthday as an opportunity to force Wenhua to make a choice, right?"

After listening to the opinions of Kim Hyo-yeon and others, Kim Taeyeon asked.

"That's right, it's not an option to procrastinate like this."

Lee Soon Kyu nodded confidently.

"What about you, Yun'er, what do you think?"

"Oni, I think Xiaoyuan Ouni and the others are right. Can he still not make a choice in two months? I don't believe it."

Lin Yun'er didn't want to wait any longer. According to this, when will she be tall.

"Okay, but are you mentally prepared?"

Taeyeon agreed to everyone's plan, and she asked Lin Yuner in a worried tone, no matter who Zhou Wenhua chose in the end, everyone would feel bad.

"To be honest, I haven't, but it's better than wasting time waiting, isn't it? Ernie, even if he chooses you in the end, I won't be jealous, and I will bless you."

Kim Taeyeon was moved by Lin Yuner's true feelings, she smiled and said, "Me too."

The conflict between the two of them because of Zhou Wenhua disappeared at this moment, and Jin Xiaoyuan and others were also quite moved and said: "Ah, you are really...it made me almost cry."
