star of the peninsula

It is said to be the end, but in fact it is just to wait and see whether Stupid Hat will make a final response, and then save some face for some people.

It is very easy to understand the reaction of SM Entertainment. It depends on whether it feels wronged and makes a bad move, or comes out and barks a few more times to hurt its own artists and itself.

At present, it seems that SMART has no such intention. It is as quiet as an old hen on its roost, as if it is just waiting for tomorrow to announce its "internal investigation results".

It is not difficult to understand the meaning of giving face.

Just as Bae Joo-hyun said, there must be real insiders among those "insiders" marked by netizens on the Internet.

It is impossible for an artist to get along well with all of his partners. It can even be said that getting along unpleasantly is the norm, because the fundamental goals of both parties are never in the same direction.

Partners hope to use artists to highlight their products, while artists hope to use partners to enhance their own influence. From the very beginning, the two sides have been on opposite sides in terms of the relationship between the primary and the secondary.

However, it is a rule that artists cannot speak ill of their partners, and it is also a rule that partners cannot speak ill of artists.

If someone breaks the rules, it is quite natural for Chen Chen to go to their house and slap them in the face.

They knew that they were in the wrong, but at the same time they also knew that Chen Chen was most likely just joking and it was unlikely that he would really make a fuss about something that was not serious to the point where both parties would suffer heavy losses.

But they didn't dare to gamble, because they knew that if Chen Chen really came to them, it would not be an easy problem to solve.

If the C headquarters, which is powerful in the idol and television fields, and Chen Chen's influence on Tik Tok in South Korea are not explained well, the efforts made by their own products in South Korea for several years may be wasted.

Therefore, the simplest and best approach is to simply tell Chen Chen not to come.

As long as you don't come, nothing will happen and everything will be easy to deal with.

Of course, it is impossible for Chen Chen to take action against all the people in the circle who have been humiliated in this matter. The C headquarters still has to go on with its life. At most, he will take action against two or three unlucky guys.

Therefore, Chen Chen chose to open up mobile phone communications at this time to screen out some people with good attitudes and did not intend to let them be the unlucky ones.

It has been several hours since the incident happened. The companies where those "insiders" work should have completed their internal investigations to find out whether any of their employees have caused trouble for them. It is time to start making the phone calls.

……

"No, I'm waiting for your call, why are you making trouble?!"

The first person to call was actually Golden Era, which immediately brought Chen Chen's mood down from the joyful mood that allowed him to drink two glasses of red wine to the distorted mood of seeing Park Jin Young playing the piano with his feet on TV.

"As your most loyal partner, of course I am here to express my admiration for you!" Jinshidai was very stubborn and resolutely put himself in the partner category.

"Then go ahead and express yourself." Chen Chen pretended to pick his ears, "I'm all ears."

"what?"

Jin Shidai was a little confused. He didn't expect that there would be someone so thick-skinned as a city wall.

"Haha, I won't waste your time. We all know you're very busy." Jinshidai said perfunctorily, "Anyway, your operation can be said to be a top case of public relations in the industry. I guess all the entertainment companies in South Korea are working overtime to learn from you right now."

"Starship is no exception. I have already started writing the PPT and plan to explain each of your steps in detail to everyone at the company meeting tomorrow. I hope you don't mind."

"Also." Jin Shidai asked quietly, "Can you tell me where your powerful navy, which is as powerful as the heavenly soldiers, comes from?"

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you, so I'd better not tell you." Chen Chen didn't plan to tell him.

"Just tell me, I will believe it."

The Golden Age held out for a little while.

"Okay, then I'll tell you," Chen Chen said in a long tone, and then gave an unexpected answer, "There are no water armies, these are all the true feelings of netizens."

How could Chen Chen casually reveal the water army, a super weapon comparable to the top secret of an entertainment company? No matter how good the relationship is, it is impossible. At most, he can lend it to you for use.

You can guess it yourself, and if you can guess it, you're very capable, but it's impossible for me to say it out loud.

However, it is actually quite easy to find where the navy of C headquarters is hiding. You will find it if you pay a little attention.

Compared to other entertainment companies, doesn’t C headquarters have an additional live broadcast department? Do the fans of those anchors look like excellent internet idols?
Anyone who watches live broadcasts and plays abstract games online every day would be good at being a cyber army!

After hanging up the phone, he quickly put the person he didn't want to be contacted by at this time back to the blacklist. Only then did Chen Chen receive the call he wanted.

Make a list of the people you have found to avoid any misunderstandings later.

And then, it's time to go to bed. Even the South Koreans would be sleepy by now. If Chen Chen was not the person involved, he should have slept for several hours by now.

……

I slept with my girlfriend until noon, and when I woke up, SMART had already issued an announcement.

"Look, this is indeed a classic corporate management error." Chen Chen handed the phone to his girlfriend who was standing beside him and took a look. "It's all the fault of Stupid Company."

"I saw it. I woke up early." Pei Zhuxuan turned over and gently hugged her boyfriend. "Thank you for your hard work yesterday. You did so many things."

"Fortunately, I feel good when I'm doing things." Chen Chen responded with a smile: "Unraveling the matter and choosing the right method to get to the point in time, if you treat this as a strategic game, this is a good game for me."

"It's just that the aftermath is a bit troublesome." Bae Joo Hyun stuck out her tongue, "The Internet is a mess now, you have to bear some of the consequences."

"What do you mean?" Chen Chen asked curiously, "What did you see?"

"My fans are urging you to take action." Pei Zhuxuan said embarrassedly: "Some asked you to deal with those who talked nonsense, some asked you to do something against that employee, and some asked you to go to SMART to hold them accountable."

"Good fellow, you think I'm a war maniac, right?!" Chen Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Even if I'm a war maniac, I have to lock on to the target first, and I haven't decided on the target yet."

There is nothing much to do for the employees of SMART. All Chen Chen can do is probably give them a little more compensation, nothing else.

Judging from the attitude of SMART Inc, this employee is a top-notch tool who takes money and gets scolded, and does both tasks very well.

The ones that talked nonsense yesterday were the most complicated to deal with.

First, I still have to answer calls today, and then I will collect the information from the private messages in the background, compare the two sides and draw an attack range. Then I have to select those people who came out early this morning to apologize for their stupid behavior yesterday from the attack range and cross them off the list.

Now that the other person has apologized, he is no longer selectable. If Chen Chen chases him and hits him, it would be Chen Chen's fault. He doesn't know how to forgive others when he can.

In the end, even if a list of all the targets to attack is compiled, Chen still has to pick out the soft persimmons and then consider what method is appropriate to use to squeeze these soft persimmons.

If the pinch is too light, Chen Chen will be dissatisfied, and the netizens will also be dissatisfied. But if the pinch is too heavy, the netizens will start to criticize Chen Chen in return.

It seems unreasonable, right? But netizens are just like that. Their flexible bottom line and their arbitrary stance make them always win.

As for SMART, Chen Chen would definitely go there for a visit. This matter with SMART could not end here.

"What do you want to eat?" Pei Zhuxuan naturally didn't know what Chen Chen was thinking, so she asked, "I stayed up late last night and lost my energy. Do you want to make some soup to replenish your energy at noon today?"

"It's all right. You can do whatever you want." Chen Chen joked, "It would be great if there was a soup that was good for the ears. I have to answer a lot of calls these two days."

"Wait for me to look through the recipes for the medicinal diet. Maybe there really is one." Pei Zhuxuan sat up suddenly. "At worst, we can start studying it now and drink it in the evening. It won't affect anything."

"It does have an impact. I'll be hungry." Chen Chen asked a very realistic question, "Are you planning to order takeout for lunch?"

"Well," Pei Zhuxuan scratched her head innocently and discussed, "Hey, isn't there Alin's Canteen here? Let's try some new dishes today?"

"You decide for yourself. You have the final say on cooking and other things." Chen Chen lifted the quilt and stretched loudly, then sat up straight. "I have to get up too, check some information and then make an appointment with someone for dinner later in the evening."

"Dinner date?" Pei Zhuxuan paused while getting dressed. "Who is it? Dinner date in the middle of the night?"

"Big Hit's chairman." Chen Chen mentioned someone that Bae Joo Hyun had never expected. "The company's listing is over, and the share distribution has stabilized. In other words, Big Hit should find time to hold its first shareholders' meeting."

"It would be a bit embarrassing if I, as a major shareholder, didn't show up at the first shareholders' meeting after the listing, but if I did show up, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing."

"The main reason is that I, as a major shareholder, am quite dangerous. Regardless of my identity, status, or strength, I am very dangerous. So Chairman Fang must talk to me in advance to confirm my thoughts."

"This was something we had agreed on a long time ago." Chen Chen rubbed Pei Zhuxuan's head, "It has nothing to do with you. Even if it hadn't happened yesterday, we would have met tonight."

"Okay, then I'll go back to the company after dinner." Pei Zhuxuan put on her clothes and put forward her ideas, "The company may need me to do something now, and I'm still in the stage of preparing for my comeback, so I can't be out for too long."

"Yeah, OK." Chen Chen had no objection, but added, "I will also go to SMART in a few days, so don't be too surprised when you see me then."

"What are you doing here?" Bae Joo-hyun was full of confusion.

"Let's talk about business and find out about the situation of SMART." Chen Chen was also a little confused. "There are a lot of things wrong. I'm confused."

……

……

After dinner and seeing Bae Joo-hyun off, Chen Chen strolled alone on the street for a while.

It was almost November, and the temperature difference between day and night was so great that Chen Chen had to pull his coat tighter.

But the stimulation of cold air also has its benefits. At least Chen Chen's CPU, which keeps heating up due to rapid thinking, can be better cooled.

"Solving Irene's problems is as easy as drinking water, which means I now have the ability to crush any top idol easily."

"Is this a capability that all people in charge of top entertainment companies have? Or is this capability only possessed by me now? Am I a freak?"

"I'm not sure. It's hard to say. I can verify it again when I have a chance."

"Then there are those people who talk nonsense on the Internet. They fell to their knees too quickly, leaving me with no targets to choose from."

"I know very well that this is the intimidation of Tik Tok, because even the top artists can't make those people bow down like that."

"We all work in different fields, it's just that we have some intersections with artists and the entertainment industry in a certain job."

“But most businesses need publicity, and publicity cannot be done without Tik Tok, which is now used by people all over the world.”

“I was called back when Tik Tok was in danger, and by the time I returned to South Korea, Tik Tok was close to victory.”

"With this fact, no one can help but speculate on me and what role I played in the Tik Tok sale."

"If you don't understand something, you will imagine it. If you can't see it clearly, you will be afraid. They are afraid of me."

"It's not nice to scare people with your imagination, but it doesn't matter. They should be afraid of me."

"I have come this far by relying on the power of the tiger to bully others. This is also the trick I am best at. Just keep using this trick until you become the king of the forest yourself."

"I don't quite understand SMART. I want to find out Lee Soo Man's current position in SMART."

"If SM Entertainment is still the SM Entertainment that Lee Soo Man has the final say, it will definitely not be Irene who will take the blame this time."

"And Lee Soo Man has already behaved inappropriately once or twice before. If this time is included, can I assume that SM Entertainment is slipping out of Lee Soo Man's control?"

"I have to test it. Zhu Xuan's incident this time also gave me a good excuse to bring an army to question him."

"He started by asking for accusations, and tried to find out the truth about the cooperation with KEYEAST. Finally, he was able to get a glimpse of the real internal situation of SMART."

"The split of Shamrock and the counterattack against Lee Soo Man should have happened earlier than it appears. Maybe I was the catalyst."

"In any case, just wait and wait for Lee Soo Man to call for help."

"In the 'past', Lee Soo Man asked Bang Si Hyuk for help in order to take control of SM Entertainment. Now, the person he should ask for help from is me."

"Haha, maybe I can achieve my ultimate mission of taking control of SMART."

"But now..." Chen Chen looked at the time, then looked at the stars and the moon in the sky, "Mr. Lee Soo Man, your two reinforcements from the 'past' and 'future' are going to have dinner together."
