In fact, both of them lost the bet.

There are only two months left in this year. If there is still no news now, I should be able to make it through.

But when it comes to talking about MOMO, it's nothing more than a little interest between lovers, the kind that is talked about today and forgotten tomorrow, and no one will care.

"I think Heechul and Momo can make it through this year. We basically don't see each other until MAMA and the end of the year, so how can we talk about breaking up?"

Bae Joo-hyun suddenly poked her head out from under the quilt and spoke seriously to Chen Chen.

"No, you've been thinking about this all the time you've been lying in bed?" Chen Chen rubbed her head lovingly, "Let them be, whether they love to break up or not, these are trivial matters now."

"I haven't been thinking about it all the time, I just thought about it for a while." Pei Zhuxuan slid closer, with her smooth shoulders exposed. "What about you? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about the thing that didn't end successfully when I left the company today." Chen Chen pulled his girlfriend into his arms, "My mind is still clear now, so I'll pick it up and think about it again."

"You're really good." Pei Zhuxuan didn't know what to say. Her bright eyes could only express doubt. "Does exercise really make your brain clearer?"

"If it's the kind of exercise we do," Chen Chen replied ambiguously, "Scientific research says it will."

"What about you specifically?" Pei Zhuxuan turned over and continued to ask, "What's the situation?"

"Of course I will. After all, I am just an ordinary person." Chen Chen poked his girlfriend's soft face, which was still flushed, and said, "I find that you are becoming more and more shameless. Why would you keep asking such questions?"

"Alright, alright, I'll talk to you about something serious." Bae Joo Hyun rolled her eyes, "Let's talk about work, you stinky man who brings work home!"

"Tell me about it." Pei Zhuxuan pulled the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed. "Although I may not be able to give you any advice, at least I can help you eliminate the wrong answers, and we will both be happy."

"..."

So Chen Chen repeated to Bae Joo-hyun the entire topic that he had not finished discussing with Sulli.

"I think you two have fallen into a misunderstanding." Pei Zhuxuan gave an important instruction after listening, "You two talked about business, but your idea was not a business at the beginning."

That seems to be the case.

All Chen Chen and Shirley saw and came into contact with was business, so when they were chatting, they couldn't help but think about whether it was profitable or not and what it took to make a profit, putting gains and losses before all other goals.

But the reality is, this was really just an occasional outburst of kindness from Chen Chen, and it didn't originally exist as a business.

"It seems to be true." Chen Chen felt as if he had suddenly realized something. "Just do good things and don't worry about the future!"

"What?" Pei Zhuxuan began to not understand, "What do you mean?"

"Just focus on doing the things you are doing now, and don't worry about the future results." Chen Chen played the role of a Chinese teacher. "Combining the context of our conversation just now and the context before and after, what I am saying here is to just get things done first."

"I understand now." Pei Zhuxuan nodded and asked curiously, "How do you plan to start?"

"Let's first set up a label and hang it there. It's better to do it early." Chen Chen answered the first two steps casually, "Then we need to find a way to let everyone, mainly everyone in the industry, know what the C headquarters label is going to do and trust us."

"How do you make everyone believe that Chen is standing on a high place and calling for help?" Pei Zhuxuan joked, "This must be a process. If you, the big president, always rely on you to get something for nothing, then you will be tied to him again."

"The old way, make a variety show." Chen Chen didn't hesitate too much. "If you ask what is going to spread quickly in South Korea and be easily believed and accepted by everyone, I really can't think of any other way except variety shows."

"I have to trouble PD Luo again." Pei Zhuxuan felt that she had seen through Chen Chen, "It seems that you don't have any available and useful variety show PD except him."

"Although my first reaction was also PD Luo, my second reaction should have been to reject him." Chen Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "He was already so miserable during the last show. I won't look for him until the wound in his heart has healed."

"Who are you going to look for?" Bae Joo Hyun asked back, "You're not going to ask the director of a dating variety show to do an idol-related variety show, right? I think there will be problems!"

"The director of a dating show is here to shoot an idol-related variety show." Chen Chen repeated it but couldn't help laughing. "To be honest, it feels very interesting. Nowadays, many people like to watch the relationships within the team. If the director of a dating show takes action, it will definitely meet the needs of this part of the audience, and our show will become famous because of it!"

"But we can't do that." Chen Chen finally calmed down, "That would deviate from our topic again."

"So what's the theme of your variety show?" Bae Joo Hyun stuck out her tongue awkwardly, "I went straight to the PD and forgot to ask you what the format of this variety show is."

"Bringing the scattered idol groups together again to complete a comeback is what the entire variety show is about." Chen Chen replied: "Of course, the new label of C headquarters will play a big role in this."

"Have you seen the special episode of 'Infinite Challenge' where the members of H.O.T. reunited? My initial goal is to make the show like this." Chen Chen added, fearing that Bae Joo-hyun didn't understand.

"Oh, I have heard of it, but it wasn't H.O.S. but the reunion of the seniors from SM Entertainment's HOT." Bae Joo Hyun's curiosity suddenly rose to the ground. She thought of too many groups that could reunite in an instant, "So who do you plan to target for the reunion?"

"This." Chen Chen took a breath, then exhaled helplessly, "This is something that needs to be considered slowly, let's do it step by step."

"The first season is indeed a very important season. It determines whether what you want to do can be done. So," Pei Zhuxuan hugged her boyfriend's arm and acted coquettishly, "Who is who? Who is your first reaction?!"

"Can't you guess it?" Chen Chen was a little speechless about his first reaction. "The guests of the first season must be strong enough to support the show. They must be difficult enough and cannot be the kind that can be reunited with just a word from everyone. They must also be able to create a name and an effect after the reunion."

"Combining these things, and adding to that my first reaction is definitely to look for someone I know well." Chen Chen stopped here, "This combination is not difficult to find, you can guess."

"You've said it so clearly, so I'd be sorry if I couldn't guess it, not to mention I noticed you inhaled first and then sighed." Bae Joo Hyun said firmly, "So I'm 100% sure that your first reaction was the group that didn't officially disband but had long been disbanded in the eyes of fans and the public, FX."

However, she was indeed right, Chen Chen's first reaction was the function group.

If the Function Group, including Shirley, could be reunited, everything C Headquarters wanted to do would be realized immediately, without a doubt.

But the function group can't do it, Chen Chen can't do it. It's not that he can't get those who are still in South Korea together, nor can he deal with Captain Victoria who is far away in China, but it's impossible for Shirley to have any side with idols, especially in the current situation of C headquarters.

"Let's do it step by step." Chen Chen sighed, "First decide what the label will be called, then decide on the production team, and finally think about who will be the guest."

"In fact, in addition to my first reaction, there are many useful and interesting options here." Chen Chen looked at his girlfriend, "Are you right?"

"Too many." Bae Joo Hyun sighed along with him. "There are examples like this everywhere. Even if you only look for the most famous ones, you'll have enough to use for a long time."

"Go to sleep." Pei Zhuxuan turned off the light and retreated into the quilt. "You and Shirley will have to worry about this later. It has nothing to do with me!"

……

It's really a headache. Naming and designing the program framework are both very troublesome.

Let’s not talk about naming it. It’s simply a huge problem that can’t be more troublesome. The two of them racked their brains but couldn’t come up with a particularly satisfactory name.

"How about we find the PD first?" Sulli pushed all the work to others in a wicked way. "Whether it's naming or building the framework of the program, you can leave it to the PD. After all, the program always needs to be established, and the program always needs a name!"

"So the problem is now simplified to finding an unlucky guy. Oh no, it's finding a PD with strong enough ability to help us make the show." Chen Chen naturally had no objection, "Do you have any recommendations for candidates here?"

"No, but I can only say that it's hard to find a three-legged frog or a two-legged good man, but it's not hard to find a capable PD." Shirley said without hesitation: "At worst, we can just interview the PD and choose the one who has the best plan and the best previous works."

Chen Chen did not respond to her. Although this plan was feasible, it would not be good if the news spread all over the city.

"How about Kim Tae-ho?" Chen Chen mentioned the name after careful consideration. "He did very well in Infinite Challenge before, and he has relevant experience."

"Well," Shirley said with a barely perceptible embarrassment, "her own show is quite popular, so she might be a little busy."

"The footage from one shoot is enough for a month. What is he busy with?" Chen Chen waved his hands casually. "Even if he is busy, it doesn't affect him doing a part-time job. We are not going to let him take up the position right away."

"But we had a little friction some time ago." Shirley pointed at Chen Chen, "To be specific, you had friction with the other party."

"This is nothing, right? If you are in the industry and can't accept such a small thing, you would have been eliminated from the industry long ago." Chen Chen looked at Shirley in confusion, "It seems that you really want me to choose Kim Tae-ho. Is there a personal factor involved?"

"The interval was quite short." Sulli told the truth, "When you had that little incident on the music show, you flew to China right away, and then I took over that matter."

"I definitely won't be polite to them. I spent a little bit of resources and used some tricks to deal with them."

"I didn't use any force, I just touched her for a moment."

"But the result doesn't seem to be very good. The C headquarters is too big. It's just a touch, but it still hurts a lot for me personally."

"That is to say." Shirley was a little embarrassed, "The Kim Tae-ho you want to choose now is the unlucky guy who was severely beaten by me not long ago."

"This is nothing. It's normal to give a sweet date after giving a stick before." Chen Chen was even more certain to choose him. "Jin Tae-ho should regard this as a sign of reconciliation. At least he won't have to worry anymore, so he will be willing to come."

"But let Hola do the work of contacting the other party." Chen Chen said with a smile: "You are too high-ranking to do this kind of thing. Also, don't scare people again."

"I know, I've also been transferring a lot of things down there." Shirley glanced at Chen Chen, "I've already put together a team, don't you really care about it?"

"I'm not interested in your team. I just want to know that they are there to help me." Chen Chen was so careless that he didn't look like a normal person. "If one day my instructions are not carried out properly, then I will be interested in checking your team."

"Lazy dog." Shirley snorted, "Who should we target as the guest of the first season, lazy dog?"

"What do you think?"

Chen Chen threw the question back to Shirley.

"Let's eliminate three options first." Sulli said without hesitation: "Fx is eliminated because of me; SISTAR is eliminated because it's too easy to reunite; T-ara is eliminated because of the pressure."

Two people from the sister group stayed in the Star Ship and two went to the Soy Sauce Bottle. It was a piece of cake for Chen Chen to get these four people together. If it was filmed into a show, it would probably end quickly and there would not be the ups and downs that everyone wanted to see.

The reason why the Crown Group was excluded was because the reunion put too much pressure on the C headquarters label.

The other four members of the Crown group, Jiyeon, were originally together. Park Soyeon signed a new agency and is still working as an artist. Jeon Boram is somewhat active in musicals and acting. She is not completely disappeared as her fans say. At least Chen Chen can capture her information.

It is somewhat difficult to reunite, but the difficulty is moderate, and it can be said that it is just the right level for a show.

But the comeback after the reunion is too difficult to handle. The gimmick of "complete T-ara" has a certain pressure. We can't just give them something and get away with it. Shouting slogans like "just be happy" is a bit misleading.

The label was newly established, and the operations team that was stuffed into it had no experience at all. It was a bit inhumane to have to deal with such a high level of difficulty right from the start.

"We have eliminated the options." Chen Chen asked again, "What about the recommended options?"

"Yes, I thought about it for a while before I went to sleep." Sulli said three words in one breath, "If we want to make ourselves famous, then we can make Suzy Miss A, but Suzy's career as an actress is obviously on a rapid rise. I would be crazy to ask her to go back to being an idol at this time. I'm sure others would not want to do that."

"If you have any thoughts about Cube Entertainment, then 4MINUTE. I think it will allow President Hong to drink a few glasses of bitter wine to recall the past."

"If you don't think too much and just focus on the show and achieving your goals, EXID."

"Although there will be an online concert in a few days, the members have already left their original company one after another. The earliest one has even left for a year and a half. It can be said that they have completely disbanded." Sulli emphasized, "Finding them is just the right choice."
