"It's bad, Chen Chen finally got IU, my goddess is finished!"

"Woo woo woo, another acquisition, what do you want to do with C Headquarters, how come you are so rich!?"

"Give me some money, Chen Chen. We've been friends online for a long time! Give me as much as you can."

"..."

The news that C headquarters had acquired 9 points of EDAM's shares spread on the same day the contract was signed, and EDAM seemed to be eager to inform everyone of the news.

Netizens were naturally the first to get the news and joined in the excitement for a while.

However, most of the comments on the Internet are jokes. Netizens have seen the process of C headquarters fighting KakaoM, and they will not be excited about acquiring 9 points of EDAM shares.

The only one who would probably feel unhappy is KakaoM. It seems that their things have been tarnished by Chen Chen again, but they can't do anything about it.

……

"Eat, eat! What are we doing here? Are we celebrating that I finally got in touch with C headquarters?"

IU held up her chopsticks, ready to scoop something out of the pot to eat at any time.

"You're just a greedy cat who wants hotpot, nothing else matters!" Chen Chen glanced at her speechlessly, "How can we celebrate something like this?"

"It's normal to eat hot pot in the winter, and it's been a long time since I've eaten hot pot at home." Shirley came out to smooth things over, "Let's eat first, and we can talk about it while we eat."

"It's nothing. There was something wrong originally, but it was ruined by someone." Lee Ji-eun said sarcastically.

"You really can't take that movie, even if it looks like it's going to be a success." Chen Chen knew she was talking about "Dream" and explained it again, "The cast is good, Park Seo-joon, you, and Lee Hyun-woo, but the script is not good."

"Although this director just shot the hugely successful "Exit", the script of "Exit" was not written by him." Chen Chen added: "People who can be good directors may not be able to do more difficult things such as writing and directing their own works."

"Then you have to compensate me with a movie." Li Zhien snorted, "You lost one movie, so you have to give me another one, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Chen asked in dissatisfaction, "I helped you avoid a trap once, but you didn't thank me and asked me to compensate you. Is there such a thing in this world?!"

"What makes you so sure that 'Dream' is a trap?" Li Zhien was very dissatisfied. "Besides, is it possible that even if it is a trap, I would still want to jump in and give it a try?!"

Chen Chen had no way of answering this question because he was in the wrong.

"Dream" is indeed not good, but it is good enough for Lee Ji-eun to get the role of the female lead in the movie, and she has no right to be picky.

Moreover, the director of "Dream" has just made "Exit", so both the public's trust in him and the amount of money that investors are willing to allocate are definitely good. This movie should be relatively easy to shoot, and it will be a good starting point for any new movie actor.

Therefore, it is understandable that Li Zhien felt resentful when Chen Chen forced her to refuse the movie, especially since he never explained to her why.

"Whatever happened is in the past. It's impossible for you to return to Dream now." Chen Chen lowered his head. "Let me help you keep an eye out for new movie opportunities. The filming of Sanzhen Group's English TOEIC Class has already started, so there's no way for me to send you in now."

"By the way, have you ever won the Best New Actress Award in the Baeksang Film category? How about I help you get one."

Chen Chen grinned, as if this was a very simple matter.

"Forget it, it's enough that you know you're wrong. How can I ask so much of you?" Lee Ji-eun stopped being angry when she saw him lower his head. "The competition for the Best New Actress is very fierce. How can you get it just like that? No matter how powerful you are, it's impossible!" "Just tell me whether you want it or not, and I'll take care of the rest." Chen Chen patted his chest and said in a deep voice, "I'll get the leading role in the movie, and I'll also get the Best New Actress at the Baeksang Awards."

"Are you really that great?" Lee Ji-eun asked a little embarrassedly.

"Hmm~"

Chen Chen shook his shoulders and said nothing.

"I want it." Li Zhien said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "I want it all, I want it very much."

"OK, let's end the topic. Let's enjoy the hot pot." Chen Chen clapped his hands, full of confidence, "From now on, it's all my job."

"Is it really that simple?" Li Zhien was a little worried, "Don't force yourself."

"It's really simple." Chen Chen nodded and said, "How many scripts do you think C headquarters receives every day? The sum of the good and bad scripts for TV and movies is really exaggerated."

"A lot, really." Shirley explained to her good sister on behalf of Chen Chen, "The TV series and movies invested by C headquarters are all excellent. In addition, we have long proven our independent production capabilities and extensive network of contacts, so everyone is happy to submit scripts to C headquarters."

"The paper scripts we receive every day alone can fill up the shredder, not to mention the novel and comic book authors who invite us to read their works and writers who send us electronic scripts by email."

"Don't worry." Shirley glanced at Chen Chen. "At most, this person will spend half a month to find a good script for you. You don't have to do anything else."

"No, it's about finding the right script. The right script is not the same as a good script." Chen Chen corrected Shirley and told a hellish joke, "Some scripts are good, but it's a pity that they can't be released."

"That's not a funny joke." Shirley pointed at the table. "It's even less funny than the tripe you put in the hot pot and forgot to take it out."

"..."

Chen Chen no longer had time to speak, and quickly picked up the colander to look for the delicious food that had been forgotten because of his talking.

"Have you heard the news that Sha Mao and Da Hei are going to form a girl group?"

Li Zhien mentioned this while putting food into Chen Chen's bowl.

"We are definitely paying attention to this, but why do you know this?" Shirley asked curiously, "No matter who forms a girl group, it has nothing to do with you."

"I really like the girls from Integrate. Now that their competitors have appeared, I'll kindly remind them." Li Zhien tilted her head unconsciously, "Your attitude is wrong. Don't you take others seriously?"

"Integrate's producer is Chen Chen. Just based on this fact, it's hard to take anyone else seriously." Shirley replied, "Everyone knows that Chen Chen is just joking when he writes songs for Integrate. If Chen Chen really lets go of his restrictions and gives it his all, then it doesn't matter who becomes his opponent."

"That's not right. You can't allow me to run out of ideas?" Chen Chen retorted.

"You've run out of ideas again. You run out of ideas every day, right?" Shirley rolled her eyes. "Your calm attitude and your deliberate suppression of Integrate's development don't show that you've run out of ideas at all."

"Anyway, we don't have to worry." Sulli and Li Zhien suddenly sat together, pointing at Chen Chen and said, "His own daughter is in Integrate. If he's not worried, then none of us have to worry."
