They lay in bed for a long time until they felt that it was not a good idea to lie there all the time, and then they slowly got up. However, it was already evening.

"The sunset is beautiful. Do you want to watch it together?"

Bae Joo-hyun sat on the balcony for a while, then turned around and invited Chen Chen.

"Is there an angle from which I can see the sunset from this house?"

Chen Chen hurried over and took a look, but only saw Xi Yang's butt.

"A sunset that is completely blocked by buildings and only has a halo is still a sunset, right?" Chen Chen smiled indulgently, "Look, let me think about what we should eat tonight."

"Let me do it." Bae Joo Hyun stood up directly. "I've been stuck in the dormitory and can't move every day. I've learned two new dishes. It's just right for you to try them."

"Oh, so that's why you brought the materials here." Chen Chen nodded and asked curiously, "But aren't we allowed to leave the dormitory at will? How did you get here yesterday?"

"It's not like you can't go out at all. It's not that serious." Pei Zhuxuan pulled Chen Chen with her as she left, "Come with me, you help me."

……

Helping out is nothing more than handling ingredients, which is something an old hand like Chen Chen can do in no time, so the kitchen soon became a scene where Bae Joo-hyun was busy running around but Chen Chen was always looking down at his phone.

"Any new news?" Pei Zhuxuan didn't forget to ask about her boyfriend's condition while she was busy. "You frowned so hard, does it have anything to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with me, but A cube Entertainment boss Hong will probably be unhappy after seeing this." Chen Chen flipped through the news and showed it to his girlfriend, "A cube is confirmed to be launching a new girl group, and it will officially debut in two months."

"You mean Weeekly? They released the news a long time ago, so it's not surprising that they've confirmed their official debut date now."

Bae Joo-hyun took a quick look and then focused on cooking again, not paying much attention.

"Oh, that's not right." Bae Joo Hyun raised her head suddenly, "It's PlayM, why do you say it's A cube?"

"Of course it's called PlayM to most people, but to Mr. Hong it has to be called A cube." Chen Chen replied cheerfully, "It was renamed after A cube was acquired by KakaoM, with the "M" of KakaoM added to the end."

"Is there such a thing?" Bae Joo Hyun suddenly got a little nervous. "We always thought that A Pink senior was an artist of Cube. Is this wrong?!"

"That doesn't matter. I'm afraid they still think they are from Cube." Chen Chen smiled and waved his hand. "Because it was acquired very early, and Cube has been operating it since the acquisition. If the artists are not particularly concerned about this kind of thing, they probably won't find out what's going on behind the scenes."

"I see. I'm relieved now." Pei Zhuxuan returned to cooking. "What do you think is going on with Boss Hong being unhappy?"

"Boss Hong has always wanted to take back A cube. Who wouldn't want to take back what's theirs?" Chen Chen replied, "But now everyone else is going to form a new girl group. It looks like there's no way they can get it back. It's normal for them to be angry and upset."

"APink will return in the first half of the month, and there will be news of a new girl group debuting in the second half of the month." The more Chen Chen thought about it, the funnier it became. "Isn't the other party trying to anger Boss Hong on purpose?"

"You're still happy, shouldn't you be nervous about the debut of a new girl group?" Pei Zhuxuan said dissatisfiedly: "Pay more attention to your own affairs!"

"A girl group of this level doesn't need me to worry about my own girls." Chen Chen continued to scroll down his phone. "I should be concerned about the actions of KakaoM itself, not the actions of its little clones."

"Specifically, I'm concerned about the action of big hit."

"I already know that they are hooking up, and I also know that Dahei is preparing a new girl group, but I still can't get any inside information, which makes me a little depressed." Chen Chen took a deep breath, "I don't know how powerful the new girl group these two are preparing will be."

"Oh, right." Chen Chen suddenly thought of something interesting, and said to Pei Zhuxuan with a smile: "If Dahei wants to launch a new girl group, the artistic director will most likely be Ms. Min from your silly hat."

"Yeah." Bae Joo-hyun just hummed, without any extra expression.

Chen Chen felt bored and started looking at his phone again.

"Ding~"

A long text message alert sounded.

"Well, there is another official announcement."

Chen Chen clicked it, took a quick look, and immediately laughed out loud.

"Who?" Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but come closer to him curiously, "Who made the official announcement?"

"The organizer of the Baeksang Arts Awards." Chen Chen read the short message, "Due to the epidemic, the Baeksang Arts Awards will be postponed for one month, and the award ceremony will be held without an audience."

"Tsk, I thought that was something else." Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes, "In the future, please don't read out things that have nothing to do with me, okay?"

"It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me. If it has something to do with me, doesn't that mean it has something to do with you?" Chen Chen argued cunningly.

"What does it have to do with you?" Pei Zhuxuan replied, "You are going to be a guest again."

"Just go once, I definitely won't go now." Chen Chen started to talk nonsense again, "But 'When the Camellia Blooms' was produced by C headquarters. If it won an award, it means C headquarters won the award, right? Then C headquarters winning the award is completely equivalent to me winning the award, don't you think?"

"Get lost, it's so annoying to hear this, it's like chanting a sutra." Pei Zhuxuan glared at Chen Chen, "Either shut up or get out, understand?!"

Chen Chen didn't even say a word, just made an "OK" gesture and that was it.

"Ding~"

It was another text message. Chen Chen frowned again as he read it.

The person who sent the text message was Chen Chen's long-time partner, and the content of the message surprised him a little.

Rado said that High Up's girl group has entered the final preparation stage and hopes Chen Chen can help with some advice.

High Up is now an independent company owned by Heiyan Bisheng. It was originally established together with CJ E&M, but in the past two years the two bought back shares from CJ and became free agents.

If possible, Chen Chen would like to have a bite of High Up.

Buying shares will give you access to South Korea's top producers. This is a good thing that you can't miss.

It’s a pity that others have already bought back shares from CJ. Their free will is quite strong, so this may not be easy to accomplish.

Let's get back to the topic. Heiyan Bisheng helped Chen Chen a lot in the beginning, so Chen Chen couldn't refuse this request. However, Chen Chen is not very familiar with Heiyan Bisheng's girl group, so it might be difficult for him to give any decent suggestions.

If I don't go, it would be unkind, but if I go, it's easy to do bad things, which is very annoying.

"Send me the information." Chen Chen could only type there, "I'll take a look at the information first, and I'll go over if there's a chance."
