star of the peninsula

No one would think that the person who comes to you with great momentum and causes trouble doesn't ask for any compensation and then walks away with a smile. This is a good thing, right? Isn't this a horror story?
When Kim Young-min thought about the current situation of SMART Inc., he felt even more terrified!

It is true that SMART has completed the task assigned by the Blue House and can get a reward, but it takes time to redeem the reward, and SMART has to bear the reward redemption process itself during this period.

Even if the reward is paid immediately, the Blue House will definitely not be enough to help S.H.I.E. win the hearts of fans and help the new S.H.I.E. group gain a foothold.

In other words, the damage caused by the fake hat hitting the idiot was really heavy on him, and he was already in a weak period.

But now that he is in a weak period, Sha Mao wants to launch a new girl group, which will make him even weaker.

A new girl group that has just debuted must be full of flaws, and these flaws will be reflected on SMART itself. As long as external forces move their fingers, SMART will have to suffer a little.

It is because of this that Shamao is willing to directly pay the highly valuable KEYEAST shares in exchange for peace of mind.

We must not let C headquarters take action. The momentum accumulated from the explosion of TV series and movies in October by C headquarters, the bonus brought to Chen Chen by the victory of Tik Tok, and the magic skills that Chen has in manipulating the Internet. If this combination of punches hits a fool, I dare not imagine how painful it will be. He will definitely be covered with bruises.

As a result, you now say that you didn’t get the amulet given by Chen Chen?

Not only did I not get the exchange, but I was also threatened in the face by someone?
Kim Young-min's head was about to explode when he thought about all this, and the scene of SMART's already falling stock price collapsing across the board appeared in front of him.

"Chairman Xiuman, it's me." Jin Yingmin dialed the phone, "It seems that we are in some trouble now."

……

On the other side, Chen Chen and Bae Joo-hyun were sitting in the cafe inside the SMART building and eating cake using Lee Soon-kyu's employee points.

"Eating sweets really makes people happy." Chen Chen happily put the cake that Pei Zhuxuan had only tasted a bite of in front of himself, "All the bad emotions that have accumulated just now have disappeared."

"Accumulating bad emotions?" Lee Sun-kyu asked curiously, "Didn't you go to see the president? Can a confrontation between big shots like you really cause unpleasantness? Can't both sides remain restrained no matter what?"

"You definitely won't get angry right away when communicating with a big shot like that, but bad emotions accumulate really quickly." Chen Chen replied, "You have to be nervous, right? You have to be dissatisfied, because you can't always get the most satisfactory answer. And then..."

"Forget it. Why should I tell you so much? Even though you have the nickname of the president, you don't really want to be the president." Chen Chen changed the subject. "What are you doing here? Why are you in the Stupid Hat Building?"

"It's not okay for employees of SMART to show up at the SMART building?" Lee Soon-kyu snorted coldly, "If I hadn't shown up at the SMART building, whose card would you have used to buy the cake?!"

"That's true." Chen Chen smiled and continued, "Then please tell me why you are here. I'm very curious."

"Of course it's because of me!"

Oh my god, Australian dragon suddenly jumped out and scared Chen Chen!
"What's wrong with you? Do you have any activities recently?" Chen Chen looked at Lin Yoona opposite him and started flipping through a book in his head.

"A TV series is about to start filming." Lin Yuner happily showed off to everyone, "The male lead is actor Hwang Jung Min!"

OK, now it matches, Chen Chen extracted all the information instantly.

"Congratulations."

Chen Chen didn't say much and nodded at Aolong.

There is nothing much to say about this TV series, and there is no need to talk about it.

"Look at other people who are busy every day, why don't you do anything?" Chen Chen turned his attention back to Li Sanlang, "I'll find a class for you!"

"Why are you always thinking about finding a class for me? I, Lee Sunkyu, have worked so hard for so many years, can't I enjoy myself now?" Lee Sunkyu still looked lazy. "It would be so nice to just play games and watch TV series at home!"

"Oh, by the way, is your show 'The Penthouse' going to be aired soon?" Lee Sunkyu suddenly got excited. "I've saved your updates in my head, and I'm just waiting to enjoy it when it starts airing!"

"The 30th, which is tomorrow." Chen Chen touched his nose, a little unconfident, "Just wait and see, I won't let you down."

If you like it, "The Penthouse" is a very enjoyable TV series, but if you don't, it will just seem stupid.

Chen Chen saw that Lee Sun-kyu didn't seem like the kind of person who liked melodrama, so when she said this, Chen Chen really had no confidence.

"But C's own drama is so great, when can we get Irene to be the heroine?" Lin Yuna interrupted and brought Bae Joo-hyun into the topic.

"I don't want it, I'm so busy!" Pei Zhuxuan waved her hands in fear, "There are endless things I want to do every day, and I don't have time to be an actor."

"That's right. After all, this is the first contract period with the company." As a person with experience, Lin Yuner gave some advice, "When the contract is renewed, it will be much more relaxed."

"In the end, it still depends on the company's attitude." Chen Chen sipped his drink and started to slander, "I just had a chat with Li Chengzhu. I don't think your new artist director is a good person."

"..."

This question was a little difficult for another artist from S.H.I.E. Company to answer. Although they enjoyed chatting with Chen Chen on an equal footing, they knew that only Chen Chen could speak ill of his direct superior so openly.

"Hey, what did you talk about with the president? Why is Director Lee Sung-soo here too?" Lee Soon-kyu forced the topic here. She knew that Chen Chen would be embarrassed to speak.

"We didn't talk about anything, just to put an end to the previous things." Chen Chen grinned, "I was very dissatisfied with what SMART did a few days ago. Do you know that?"

"..."

Well, there is still no way to continue this topic. When it comes to things like this, Chen Chen speaks like a person of another level as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Are you done talking now?"

But Bae Joo-hyun dared to answer.

"We've talked, and it's over." Chen Chen smiled again, "I'm sitting here eating a small cake because I'm in the second meeting, waiting for your teacher Lee Soo Man to come."

After Kim Young Min's conversation broke down, the only one who could talk to Chen Chen at S.H.I.E. was Lee Soo Man. Fortunately, there was still Lee Soo Man. Once the dialogue channel with C headquarters was closed, the difficulty of S.H.I.E. launching a new girl group instantly became world-class.

“Ding~Ding Ding Ding Ding”

The cell phone of one of the three people rang first, followed by a series of new message alerts, which sounded quite spectacular at first.

Chen Chen took another sip of his drink, knowing that it was most likely that the official account of C headquarters had started to compile a list, naming each of the big marketing accounts created by S.H.I.E. Company in public and sending them a court subpoena.

"The shark marketing account is a little too accurate."

Lee Sunkyu glanced at the message and complained.

"I'm not a random shark. I came prepared." Chen Chen bit the straw, "I want to give an explanation to the netizens and show my attitude."

"You really think I'm not angry? Is that possible?"

Chen Chen curled his lips with a playful expression.

"Netizens should all know by now that you are angry, suing so many marketing accounts."

Lin Yuna added.

"It's all for the sake of compensating the netizens." Chen Chen directly passed the buck, "You have to force me to deal with the insiders, but there is no insider who would confront me! Then I can only deal with these marketing accounts that are half insiders? Dealing with one is not enough, I have to deal with a whole group, otherwise I won't be able to make up for the shortfall."

"You're awesome." Lin Yuna suddenly didn't know what to say, "Do netizens know how cruel they are?"

"You should know now." Chen Chen said, imitating Lin Yuner's initial tone.

The cell phone vibrated and Chen Chen let out a strange cry, startling others.

"Let's go." Chen Chen looked down and waved his hand. "This is your teacher Li Xiuman's phone number."

After the three of them left, Chen Chen slowly answered the phone.

"What's wrong, President Li? Why are you calling at this time?"

"Want to talk? Sure, where are you?"

"Why don't we just stay at SMART and not meet outside? I'm eating cake in the SMART building right now and don't feel like moving."

"Okay, I'll wait for you for a while."

OK, the call I had been waiting for came and the designated person also appeared. Now it depends on whether Chen Chen can get what he wants.

……

"I'm giving you a chance to pass the buck. You put all the blame on one person. From now on, he will be the one I have to deal with."

"How is it? This is a good opportunity. You can use me as a gun to fight against others."

Before Lee Soo Man opened his mouth, Chen Chen muttered two words to him in a mysterious voice.

"It is indeed useful, but I don't need it, so I have to throw it away regretfully." Lee Soo Man answered without hesitation.

If he hesitated for half a second, Chen Chen would be able to see that the situation within SMART was not stable, and there was no guarantee that this man would not have some evil intentions.

"Okay." Chen Chen shook his head regretfully, and said unwillingly: "I'll keep this opportunity for you for a few years. If you want to use it, just ask me anytime. This is a favor I personally give you."

"Let's talk business!" Chen Chen stopped struggling and crossed his legs. "Will you give me the shares of SMART?"

"No."

Lee Soo Man's answer was still decisive.

"Okay." Chen Chen stretched out his arm, "Please start your meat-cutting performance."

"Five points of KEYEAST's shares plus a portion of management rights." Lee Soo-man added the benefit of a portion of management rights to Kim Young-min's conditions.

“What does this operating right mean?”

Chen Chen was very interested, particularly interested.

"KEYEAST will set up a new independent department, which will enjoy all the benefits of other KEYEAST departments, but will not be responsible to KEYEAST but to your C headquarters." Li Xiuman had a blank expression, "Do you understand what I mean by that?"

C headquarters is in the concession of KEYEAST!
"I understand, but I have a question." Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and asked softly, "If actors from other departments of KEYEAST want to transfer to this independent department, will anyone stop them?"

"In theory, no."

Lee Soo Man replied.

Theoretically, it won't happen, but it will. This is an unspoken rule that doesn't need to be explained.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s enough that it’s not possible in theory. Chen Chen has plenty of ways to turn theory into reality.

"Understood, deal." Chen Chen stood up directly. "I'm going back now. Do you have anything else to say?"

"The relevant contracts will be sent over after we have completed the preparations. This process will take about a week." Lee Soo Man thought for a moment and finally said, "Also, don't pry into the internal affairs of SMART anymore. You can ask me directly."

He changed his mind. He felt that Chen Chen was so smart that he must have understood the general situation and might be able to serve as a reinforcement.

"Hey~" Chen Chen sat back down again, "I can ask you directly, right? Then I really want to ask you, is your dominance in SMART company shaken?"

An arrow pierced my heart, it was cruel and painful.

"It's still within the controllable range for now." Lee Soo Man was surprisingly frank. "When the people below are too capable, this kind of problem will arise. It's a happy worry."

"And every company will have problems like this when it grows bigger. Headquarter C also needs to be careful." Lee Soo Man kindly reminded.

"Got it. I'll be careful." Chen Chen responded with a smile, and then repeated it for the third time, "I'm giving you a chance to pass the buck, and now it's permanent."

"I won't use it!" Lee Soo Man said firmly.

"I hope you won't use it either."

Chen Chen's tone was very kind, but no matter how he said it, this sentence sounded like a huge irony to Lee Soo Man.

"How did you find out about the marketing account in Huaxia?"

Lee Soo Man held his breath and changed the subject.

"Guess?" Chen Chen continued to maintain his gentle attitude, "If you don't want to guess, I can give you a hypothesis."

“Suppose I set a certain number of followers, and my goal is to clear out all Korean entertainment marketing accounts that have more followers than this number. Do you think this is possible?”

"Korean entertainment has been driven out of China. These Korean entertainment marketing accounts shouldn't exist in the first place. It's best to kill them."

"In other words, Korean entertainment marketing accounts can only be official marketing accounts such as Penguin, Tik Tok, and Cyclops, or the marketing accounts of our C headquarters."

"If you like this hypothesis, you can take it seriously. If you don't like it..." Chen Chen scratched his ear and said, "Just consider it as a warning from me. Don't drag my woman into any trivial fight. Just keep her as a good wife."

……

Go home, lie on the sofa and rest for a while, then forget everything except what you have gained today.

There aren't too many artists who can take the blame, and Chen Chen doesn't believe there is no other reason why SM Entertainment chose Bae Joo-hyun.

If "before" was really just a coincidence, this time there must be other purposes involved, and the target is directly aimed at Chen Chen.

It was because of this that Lee Soo Man was willing to be honest with Chen Chen and told him that he could ask him directly if he wanted to know anything.

Of course, Lee Soo Man also hinted that he was not the one who wanted to drag C headquarters into the water.

No, it's not a hint, Lee Soo Man has already said it clearly several times.

But Chen Chen was very willful and he didn't listen.
