star of the peninsula

It’s not that Chen Chen wanted to make such a big fuss, he really had no choice.

After all, C headquarters is just a new company that has been established for more than three years. The only person who can be pulled out and given face by the TV stations and actors is Chen Chen. Anyone else will not be recognized by others if they go there!

But Chen Chen's status is too high. He is a president-level figure in the circle. In addition, the recent Tik Tok incident has stirred up a lot of trouble. Any move he makes will inevitably cause huge waves.

So "The Penthouse" instantly became a dilemma of having to choose between two cups of poison: either it had to slowly drag on and let time pass, or Chen gave up the idea of ​​keeping a low profile and made a high-profile appearance.

Chen Chen felt that it was not good to disrupt the broadcast time of the TV series, so he could only choose another cup of poison.

Now that I think about it, it was the right choice, because I couldn't have kept a low profile anyway.

The movie "Samjin Group English TOEIC Class" starring Suzy and the TV series "Startup" starring her were both broadcast in October. The TV series "Private Life" starring Seohyun and the movie "Silent" in which she participated were also broadcast in October. C and Chen are flying in the sky of the Korean entertainment industry this October.

Then, Chen Chen thought of another thing.

"It would be great if there was someone suitable to help me with this."

Hey, there really is such a suitable person, KEYEAST.

Yes, it is KEYEAST, whose position as the largest shareholder was unknowingly taken away by SMART. As of now, SMART already owns more than 30% of the shares.

Think of a way, find a way to get KEYEAST into your arms, after all, you have the admission ticket in your hand.

I never knew what KEYEAST could do for me before, but now with the experience of "The Penthouse", Chen Chen understands.

……

"It's so abstract. The title of the play is Penthouse, so you really drew a building, right? Then what do these stick figures represent?"

"Of course other people can draw whatever they like on their posters, as long as it attracts attention, but don't you think C headquarters' move this time is a little strange?"

"What's so strange about that? Isn't it just a normal TV series shoot and normal promotion?"

"It would be great if it was publicity. This is an advertisement with a script to find actors and production team. No one has ever done this before. TV series and the like are only promoted after they are finished. At the earliest, the cast must be gathered before a press conference can be held to make an announcement."

"That seems to be the case now that I think about it. Then why did C headquarters do this?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?!"

"Wait a moment, I'll call Chen Chen."

"It's been five minutes. Are you done with the call?"

"It's been an hour, Chen Chen still hasn't replied to your private message?"

"Dude, you don't have any contact information, do you?"

"Is it possible that this is a novel promotional method? It is normal for the marketing king C headquarters to make a new attempt in marketing."

"In this case, it seems that Headquarter C has succeeded. You can see that everyone is attracted here."

"Brain storage place, hey, I'll put my brain here first."

"Hey, what is this? A storage place for your brain? Put one in there and try. Hey, what is this?"

"Hey, what is this? A storage place for your brain? Put one in there and try. Hey, what is this?"

"..."

While netizens were having fun online, Chen Chen received constant phone calls and his mailbox was flooded with messages, so he had to temporarily combine Park Ji-yeon's office area with his to handle emails with Sulli.

This would be more convenient. If there are some emails that Chen Chen doesn't know how to reply to, he can tell Zhiyan directly, without her having to call him first to inform him of the content and then Chen Chen will forward the reply to her and let her do it.

"You've alarmed too many people." During the intermission, Shirley leaned directly on the table and hugged her head, as if this would allow her brain to rest faster. "Now we not only have to deal with matters related to the TV series, but also respond to colleagues who come to us with curiosity and reporters who are eager to dig up information. We are too busy!"

"We should be able to hold on for today." Chen Chen also showed fatigue on his face. "Let's get the list of production team and actors out today. Tomorrow, we can use it as a way to entertain our colleagues and reporters."

“Wow, you’re quite good at finding joy in adversity.” Shirley moved her body and lay down in a different direction, looking at Jiyeon and asked, “After replying to emails for so long, what did you gain?”

"I only learned that the company has a lot of business and a wide network of contacts." Park Ji-yeon replied: "There are so many emails asking about everything, and the senders are all kinds of people. I even saw my own company."

"Oh?" Chen Chen suddenly became interested. "Why does your company want to contact my C headquarters?"

"I forgot. Anyway, you considered the content as meaningless nonsense, so I just responded politely." Jiyeon slumped in the chair, exposing her beautiful curves to the sun without any cover. "I just pasted a pre-written formula from my notebook and sent it back."

"Well, I thought they would come to me with something important." Chen Chen said with a little disappointment: "Nothing fun happened, it would be good to cheer us up."

"There really is something that can cheer us up, but I don't think you'd want to hear it!" Shirley suddenly got up and looked at Chen Chen with a sharp gaze, "Would you like to sacrifice yourself to cheer us up?!"

"Can something about me really make you feel better? Tell me what it is."

Chen Chen was a little speechless, but he was still willing to sacrifice at this time.

"Your real assistant!" Shirley quickly flipped through the forms on the computer. "Although we have encountered many unexpected situations in the process of recruiting assistants for you and have not found a truly suitable candidate, we have finally locked on some people after such a long search. Let me read the information to you."

"Okay." Chen Chen gritted his teeth and prepared to be fooled. "You read it."

"Okay." Shirley immediately became excited, "I'll read out the ones I like best first."

"The first one is from"

"..."

"Stop, wait a minute!" Chen Chen's expression quickly turned strange after listening to a few pieces of information. "Are you looking for an assistant or a new actor? Why are you always hanging around with students majoring in acting, editing and directing, and art?!"

"Don't you realize that this group of people are the most suitable to be your assistants?!" Sulli said confidently, "These majors can prove that they can quickly familiarize themselves with the environment in the industry. People who are capable of becoming artists are qualified to be the top executives of entertainment companies, right?!"

"Young age can ensure that they can accept your novel ideas and implement them. If your assistant cannot understand your ideas, many things will cause trouble in implementation, which is inconsistent with the original intention of finding an assistant to reduce trouble."

"Being able to get into university means that these people are relatively excellent. The schools we selected are all good schools in South Korea to ensure that we will not select stupid assistants to cause trouble for everyone. In addition, we relaxed the professional requirements for the best schools."

"People who can get into a good university in South Korea at least have a series of advantages such as self-discipline, love of learning, carefulness, planning, a good attitude, and the ability to accept monotonous and complex work. Such qualities are great for assistants!"

"Although college students are becoming increasingly cheap, the overall quality of those who can get into excellent universities is getting stronger." Shirley glanced at Chen Chen proudly, "It is a great choice to book an assistant for you among the college students in advance."

"Don't make it sound like you're booking a child bride." Chen Chen curled his lips, "But your idea is indeed good. Excellent qualities are more important than current abilities."

"So, do you like the ones I read out?" Shirley asked in a delicate voice.

"If you don't see anything you like, keep looking." Chen Chen sniffed, "Look slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Why didn't you like it?" Shirley asked persistently, "Do you think it's not smart enough?"

"How can I be smarter than you? " Chen Chen blinked at her.

"That means you don't think you're pretty enough." Shirley was unmoved.

Chen Chen still shook his head. "Can anyone be prettier than Jiyeon?"

This made Jiyeon embarrassed.

"..."

When Shirley heard Chen Chen's perfunctory answer, she instantly lost interest and stopped asking, changing the subject.

"The funds for the subscription of Big Hit shares are ready. Do you have any inside information on when the subscription will start?" Sulli talked about the work that Chen Chen had arranged for her. "I hope it won't take too long, otherwise such a large amount of funds can earn a lot of interest if kept."

"It will be soon. I won't give you a chance to earn interest." Chen Chen's thoughts strayed a little. "Speaking of Big Hit, I don't know how they are talking with Tik Tok and Black Cat. It's been almost two days."

"Maybe they haven't contacted us yet. It's better to take it slow with such important matters." Jiyeon interjected.

"No, that's not the case." Shirley smiled and explained to Jiyeon, "The bigger the matter, the earlier we need to contact each other, because the subsequent tug-of-war is the key. If we establish contact quickly enough, we will have more operational time left, and this part of time may create miracles."

“I see.” Jiyeon nodded, not quite understanding. “Establishing a connection is the easiest thing, right?”

"It's not like poor relatives are shy about coming to celebrate the New Year. We are all well-known figures. Just saying hello will make us connected." Chen Chen explained more clearly, "Whether the connection can be maintained depends mainly on whether both parties can have a mutually profitable project."

"Will Big Hit have it?" Sulli asked in a slightly serious tone, "If so, Big Hit will become our direct competitor."

"I don't know. Intuitively, I don't think so." Chen Chen replied, "And Big Hit is not as clean as C headquarters. Even if it can do the same thing as us, those two will hardly look down on it, not to mention that it can't do it yet."

"In fact, it's a good thing that there's been no news." Chen Chen added cheerfully, "The most likely reason for the lack of news is that Big Hit didn't make it, and they feel embarrassed and don't want me to know."

"I feel relieved after hearing that. I don't want to have to consider internal struggles when I connect with Black Cat or Tik Tok someday." Sulli continued with what Chen Chen said, but her words were rather irritating. "Then I hope Big Hit won't give any news."

"Okay, let's stop chatting here. I'm going to deliver something to Integrate, and I'll bring you afternoon tea when I come back." Chen Chen stood up and stretched. "Tell me what you want. If it's nearby, I'll buy it. If it's far, let Anan go."

"Giving gifts, right? Then hurry up and go. Many people have gifts except Integrate. The girls are very sensible to wait until now without saying a word." Shirley urged Chen Chen to leave quickly. "I'll send you a list of afternoon tea later. There will be a lot of things."

……

Just two steps away from the office is the practice room often used by the girls.

"Oh, they're all here." Chen Chen threw the USB in his hand over. "Next, go find President Jin and ask him to find someone to help you record. I made this when I was in China. It's a gift for you."

"Ok."

Miyawaki Sakura caught the USB drive flying towards her with a confused look on her face and nodded stupidly. It didn't make sense that someone threw something at them during group practice, right? !
"Oppa!"

Seeing that Chen Chen was about to turn around, the girls behind him shouted in unison.

"What?" Chen Chen turned back and said, "You should know that Oppa is very busy today. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."

"Welcome back!"

"What song is that?!"

"Will it also be included in this overseas event?"

"@#￥%..."

"..."

It was so chaotic that Chen Chen didn't hear a single word clearly.

"Queue up to speak!"

Chen Chen shouted softly, and the Integrates immediately formed their formation.

"Oppa, will we go abroad for this overseas event?"

Choi Ye Na asked impatiently.

"No, you're not going anywhere." Chen Chen shook his head, "We're just releasing two English songs."

"Eh~"

At once, many disappointed voices were heard.

"I'll let you go when it's safe overseas. Let's avoid trouble in this situation." Chen Chen sighed, "If you get sick, it won't be good for you, me, or the company."

"What kind of work did Oppa just give us?" Jiang Huiyuan asked the next question.

"Songs that make people want to dance, you can think of them as disco music." Chen Chen explained in a little more detail, "There will be a foreign singer singing with you, but I don't know who this foreign singer is. Universal Music is looking for someone."

"I don't have anything to ask."

When Wang Yiren saw Chen Chen's gaze sweeping over her, she quickly shook her head.

"Me too."

"And I."

Kim Min-woon and Park Jin also walked over.

"Brother Chen Chen, did you get to eat delicious food after returning home?!"

Ningning spoke loudly without waiting for Chen Chen to look over.

"Then you have to eat!" Chen Chen unconsciously raised his voice along with her, "The quarantine meal in China almost made me fat, but luckily the quarantine meal in South Korea helped me lose weight again!"

"Hahahaha~"

Happy laughter rang out in the practice room.

"Oppa, welcome back!"

The laughter died down, but Xiaoyuan couldn't contain her inner joy and bypassed Yuzhen's order to welcome Chen Oppa again in advance.

"Yeah, I'm back." Chen Chen was somewhat relieved to hear this, and also felt a little relieved. "Everything is good over there, but you have to be very careful in everything you do, which is a bit unpleasant."

"Okay, you guys practice. I can't waste any more time." Chen Chen stopped the topic here. "I'll come over in a few days. Let's talk next time."

There's really no end to the chat with these girls, so it's better to run away quickly.

"Oppa, walk slowly."

Behind him was South Korea's most beloved bean-loving group bowing to see him off.
