Park Jin-young's distraught look was so ugly and annoying, and it looked like it would take him a while to recover.

So Chen Chen left the production studio and went for a walk outside to change the environment and his mood.

"Oppa Chen Chen~ Why are you here today?"

I had only taken a few steps out of the door when Ming Jingnan patted my shoulder. I was lucky.

"I'm playing with your PD." Chen Chen replied casually, "Why are you here at this time? Don't you need to promote your song?"

"And." Chen Chen glanced behind her, "Where are the others?"

"Nowadays, all the performances are pre-recorded, and our pre-recording order is relatively early." Mingjing Nan replied: "The other members have already arrived at the practice room. I walked a little slower and happened to fall behind and bump into Oppa."

"Oh."

Chen Chen unconsciously glanced down at Xiaonan's legs, thinking that the penguin might indeed move a little slower.

"What have you been busy with recently?" Chen Chen asked.

"I'm still busy as usual, but now that I can't do any commercial performances, I have a lot more free time." Mingjing Nan answered a little reservedly, which is related to her personality. "The extra time can be used to prepare for the online concert."

"You guys are also going to do an online concert?" Chen Chen was a little surprised. "Hey~ I didn't even receive any news. That's really strange."

If you want to hold an online concert, you can’t avoid a platform as big as Tik Tok, and you certainly can’t avoid Chen Chen.

"Maybe you plan to contact Oppa after everything is confirmed?" Mingjing Nan tilted his head and spoke very appropriately, "Oppa is always very busy, so we shouldn't go over to disturb you too early."

"That's a nice thing to say." Chen Chen smiled and took two steps back to make room. "Go practice. I'll go shopping by myself."

After saying goodbye to Ming Jingnan and walking a few steps forward, Chen Chen unconsciously arrived at the trainee area.

He likes watching the trainees. In addition to seeing some things about the "future", Chen Chen can also see something called hope.

There is beautiful hope shining in every trainee, and those who make their debut will shine even more beautifully.

As Chen Chen watched, he couldn't help but look for someone, because he knew that the members of NMIXX had already gathered at the Soy Sauce Bottle, and he wanted to find them and mark them.

Chen Chen's feelings towards NMIXX are a bit complicated, and it's hard to say exactly what they are.

It's a bit of a pity, because the strength of this group is unquestionable, each member is very capable, their personalities are attractive enough to fans, and they have high team spirit, but they just failed to become popular.

Compared with their senior ITZY in the early days, they were extremely bad. They improved a bit later, but not much.

But, there is no doubt that the members are very capable.

Apart from the pity, Chen Chen also felt a little bit indebted.

After all, Park Jin was taken away from NMIXX. It's impossible to say that I don't feel indebted to others.

But it's indeed not much. After all, NMIXX has no shortage of lead singers. It can even be said that the vocal resources are seriously overflowing. Taking away one of the lead singers will not have that much impact.

"You five should not become popular all at once after your debut, otherwise Park Jin will be embarrassed."

Such a joke suddenly popped up in Chen Chen's mind and he accidentally made a noise, attracting the attention of all the trainees.

"Well, you guys continue practicing, I'm just passing by."

Before the noise started, Chen Chen simply slipped away and did not get into any awkward situation.

Just when Chen Chen was leaving, he suddenly thought of something not so good. Although there were six people in the back of NMIXX, there were seven people at the beginning.

"After I take one away, will the one who left the group not leave the group? Will NMIXX still be a complete group of six people in the end?"

"Is the timeline coming to an end again?!" Chen Chen wondered in his heart. This possibility was not small at all.

"Hey~Hello, President Chen."

Someone called him from behind again, this was the second time today.

"Ah, Xuanmei." Chen Chen recognized her and his expression turned into surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Jinyoung oppa and I are collaborating, so I'm here to record the video," Sunmi replied.

"Oh, you're the one who's going to record first today!" Chen Chen's eyes widened suddenly, "I was wondering why you pulled me aside to chat first and said you'd record later."

"You want to record it too?" Sunmi's confusion was clearly visible. "I haven't heard of this!"

"You're the original singer, so of course you don't need to hear about it." Chen Chen smiled and waved his hand, "I just came here to play. I'm your substitute, the kind who comes here to take over for one episode when you can't participate in the song promotion."

"By the way, what is the song?" Chen Chen continued the topic, "I haven't come into contact with the work yet."

"It's called 'When We Disco', and it's composed, arranged, and written by Jinyoung Oppa." Lee Sunmi synchronized the information with Chen Chen, "You can tell from the name that it's a retro style, very much like Jinyoung Oppa."

"..."

Chen Chen's database was down for a while, and for a moment he couldn't think of which work "When We Disco" was.

But he had a cheat, and all he had to do was pinch Sunmi's exposed forearm.

"Actually, I'm just here to help, so I can't be considered the original singer." Sunmi didn't pay attention to Chen Chen's sudden action, thinking that there was something dirty on her forearm that was patted away by Chen Chen. She explained carefully, "Although he is a contracted artist from another entertainment company, I am definitely willing to give face to Jinyoung Oppa's invitation."

"It's fine. It's nice to play together occasionally." Chen Chen responded while enduring the impact of the sexy images in his head, "I also like playing with Brother Zhenying. There is no pressure. This brother is always sincere and always passionate about the stage."

"..."

Sunmi didn't know how to respond. She was not familiar with this big boss and she really didn't expect him to have such an eccentric personality.

"Let's go, let's go together and give him a surprise." Chen Chen snapped his fingers to attract Xuanmei's attention, "Brother Zhenying is waiting in the production room, don't let him wait too long."

……

"You two met first?"

When Park Jin-young appeared again, he had recovered.

"Yes." Chen Chen sat down with a big smile, "Is there any reason why we can't meet?"

"Not really. After all, she is the original singer and you are just a substitute. Even if you meet, your status will be different." Park Jin Young joked happily.

"I know that. I just suddenly realized that you didn't seem to tell me why you called me here." Chen Chen suddenly discovered his blind spot. "You don't just want to chat, do you?"

"I want you to record your version of 'When We Disco'." Park Jin Young threw a bottle of water over, "Also, I want to talk to you about TWICE's online concert. You have more experience, and I want to hear your opinion."

"Okay, now it's smooth." Chen Chen unscrewed the water and took a sip, "Let's get ready to start recording. I'll be the recording engineer."

"You can be a sound engineer without having watched any content?"

Park Jin-young raised a question.

"No way?" Chen Chen snorted coldly, "Humph, do I still need to look at the score?!"
