It is indeed very common for idols to have psychological problems in the circle, and only a small number of people have no problems at all. However, Chen Chen never thought that such problems would appear in the members of Integrate.

The reason is simple. We never heard of such things in the "before". Now that we have given you a better environment, it should be even less likely to happen.

As a result, it doesn't look good.

But Chen Chen is not someone who avoids reality. Since the problem has arisen, he will find a way to solve it.

But this matter might happen a few minutes later. He was a little confused now, and his mind was full of thoughts about what C headquarters had done to make Xiaoyuan have such thoughts.

Well.
The most frustrating thing was not that he couldn't find a reason, but that Chen Chen found several reasons just by blinking twice.

For example, the pressure of the epidemic. Although this is the pressure that everyone is enduring, if you ask whether this pressure will cause psychological unrest, the answer is definitely yes, without exception.

For example, (G)I-DLEC, who recently came to C headquarters, handed Integrate to the starship operation and focused all of their attention on (G)I-DLE. It was inevitable that this action made the girls think more.

Then there is the new girl group of C headquarters.
The members of the new girl group have been taken to C headquarters by Chen Chen. Now all of South Korea knows that C headquarters is going to form a new girl group. Even those who are more informed know what the general composition of the new girl group will be, and the girls are naturally no exception.

But Integrate has only debuted for over a year, and the company has already started preparing for a new girl group at this time, so it’s hard not to wonder if they’re not doing well enough.

Taking all the reasons into consideration, Chen Chen was no longer puzzled as to why Zhang Yuanying asked that question.

"Well, it's like this."

Chen Chen turned around and was about to answer when he happened to see Xiao Yuan curiously putting her face close to him, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

The main reason was that there was nothing but cuteness in Xiaoyuan's clear eyes, which made him suddenly doubt whether he was being too suspicious.

"Why do you ask that?"

Chen Chen held back what he was about to say and asked Xiao Yuan first.

"I just asked casually, and continued to talk according to the flow and feeling of Oppa's words."

Zhang Yuanying blinked, not understanding why her oppa seemed to be in distress.

"So that's how it is." Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were really... really curious."

"I am a little curious, after all, Oppa never seemed to set any goals for us to achieve." Zhang Yuanying continued, "Although this is our first time forming a girl group, we know that setting stage goals and long-term goals for the group is something that almost all entertainment companies will do."

"Don't be curious, I can tell you the answer directly." Chen Chen smiled and rubbed her head, "The reason why Oppa didn't set a goal for you is because I don't know how to set this goal."

"You are special. There has never been a girl group like you in the Korean entertainment industry in recent years. So setting a goal for you is basically like buying a lottery ticket. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the correct result among many uncertain results."

“It’s hard, so I don’t do it.”

"On the other hand, your growth process may serve as a reference for the goals set by the younger girl groups."

"Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Chen asked.

"I see." Zhang Yuanying was still very smart. "We are not following the path of conventional girl groups, right? Therefore, the previous reference materials are not very meaningful. Instead, we will become reference materials for future girl groups."

"Almost." Chen Chen nodded with a smile, "I don't know how far you can go, and I have never seen the scenery at the top, so I can't set a goal for you."

"Shouldn't Oppa have seen everything?" Zhang Yuanying was a little curious and dissatisfied. "You are a singer who has stood at the highest point, and you are also a producer who can play around on the billboards."

"So what does this have to do with girl groups?" Chen Chen nodded and tapped her on the head again. "At best I am a singer. I have to be completely shameless to say that I have experience in boy bands. It is a world away from girl groups!"

"So hum, why does Oppa like to create girl groups so much?"

Zhang Yuanying asked a sharp question.

"First of all, it's normal for men to like girl groups!" Chen Chen emphasized loudly, and then explained normally, "In addition, I value time very much. The two years of military service in a boy group is a waste of time for me, who values ​​time so much! In order not to waste it, then I have to form a girl group."

"That makes sense!" Zhang Yuanying always felt that something was wrong, but her brain seemed to have been convinced, so she had no choice but to change the subject, "By the way, what is the name of our junior group? Oppa, have you thought about it?"

"No, it's okay to think about it later." Chen Chen sighed, "We haven't gathered all the people yet, so it's hard to come up with a name."

"Is there anyone else?" Zhang Yuanying's eyes lit up. "Is it the younger sister?"

Among the people who were picked up from the star ship and brought to C headquarters was Jin Zhiyuan, who was a few months younger than her. This made her happy for quite a while, celebrating that she had finally gotten rid of the title of the youngest in C headquarters.

Now she wanted to be more greedy and ask if anyone younger wanted to come.

"She's not a younger sister, she's your senior." Chen Chen replied, "The short Wang Zhao Yuli is already in the C headquarters' bag and will become a reliable foundation for the new girl group."

"Hiss~" Zhang Yuanying gasped, "So when I see her in the future, should I call her senior or junior?!"

"Just call him whatever you want." Chen Chen replied: "No matter which side of the relationship you are looking at, calling him whatever you want is the best result."

“Former” teammates, now seniors and juniors. Chen Chen didn’t know what to do with them, it was best for everyone to call them whatever they wanted.

"By the way, Oppa, have you gone to see those girls?" Zhang Yuanying talked about this. "I don't remember, but I think Oppa needs to go see them."

"I don't remember." Chen Chen stretched out his hand and pulled Yuan Ying's soft face up high, "You still care about my movements?"

"The president's movements have always been the top priority for the employees of the C headquarters!" Zhang Yuanying was embarrassed to speak, but she insisted, "Everyone is the same, and I am no exception!"

"Okay, I haven't met with them alone yet." Chen Chen released his hand, "Since you think it's necessary, I'll go meet them."

……

The timing was just right. When Chen Chen arrived at the practice room, the girls he picked up from the starship were practicing.

Chen Chen also secretly watched the practice content for a while, which were all classic girl group performances in recent years.

It can be considered as basic skills. All trainees have to practice this.

"good evening."

Chen Chen pushed the door open and greeted them.

"Good evening Oppa."

The girls who were practicing hard were suddenly startled and quickly lined up to greet Chen Chen.

At first glance, Chen Chen was at least very satisfied with this formation; the high average height made people feel at ease.

It's just that after Zhao Yuli comes here, the average value will probably be pulled down a little bit, but it's not a big deal. Almost every group has people who are stuck in the pit, so it's not surprising.

It is even possible that in the future the person in the group who makes fun of others' height will change from Jin Qiutian to Zhao Yuli, which will be quite interesting for Chen Chen.

"It has been half a month since you arrived at C headquarters. Is there anything you are not used to?" Chen Chen asked in a very formal manner.

"No, Oppa." Jin Zhiyuan was not afraid of him at all. "We used to go to C headquarters frequently. Now we will feel more comfortable here."

"Haha, that's good." Chen Chen looked at Shen Xiaoting and Naoi Rei, "How are you learning Korean, two foreigners?"

"Listening and speaking are not a big problem, but writing is impossible." Shen Xiaoting answered both of them at once, "Lianjiang is better than me, she can write a little bit."

"Because I came a few years earlier." Naoi Rei added.

"As long as there is no problem with communication, there are not many opportunities to write." Chen Chen simply comforted him and asked, "Are you under pressure from the course?"

"..."

Now no one stood up to show confidence, and everyone lowered their heads like quails.

There is no way. The courses at C headquarters are too exaggerated. Not only do I learn a lot, but I also have targeted training. The classes are so onerous that before each class I wonder if I should stop being an artist. It's too uncomfortable.

In fact, everything else is easy to deal with. The main problem lies in this targeted training.

The so-called targeted training is the corrective measures that Chen Chen takes based on the defects shown by the artists in the information he obtains through contact with them.

It is true that no one is perfect, but Chen Chen can at least use the information to make up for the important shortcomings in advance and help them become relatively rounded and flawless artists.

For example, Jin Zhiyuan's pain points are body management and outspokenness. After these two aspects are forced to be corrected, the artist Liz will definitely mature a lot, but it will be a little uncomfortable for her as a trainee now.

"Why don't you say anything? That's right!" Chen Chen was happy instead, looking like a slightly perverted person. "This shows that the targeted training has hit your pain points, and it's very effective!"

"Don't be rebellious, I must be right! At least I have always been right in recent years!"

"If you feel really sad, you can cry for a while, or you can come to the president's office to talk to me. I'm happy to help you solve your problems."

"Speaking of which," Chen Chen suddenly thought of their "Operation Team Leader" Mr. Hong, "Has Mr. Hong from Cube Entertainment come to see you?"

"President Hong comes here often." Jin Qiutian replied, "He is very nice to us and will talk to us."

"That's great. I'd love to have someone help me do this kind of thing." Chen Chen smiled and clapped his hands twice. "You guys will be comfortable. Starship, C Headquarters, and Cube Entertainment are the three entertainment companies serving you. No one has ever enjoyed this kind of treatment!"

"Hahahaha~"

"..."

After chatting casually for a while, Chen Chen left the practice room with a heavy heart, leaving behind a few words of encouragement.

……

Shirley, who was still working overtime, noticed something was wrong with Chen Chen the moment she looked up to greet him.

"It takes you so long to eat a meal, and you look so gloomy. Who owes you money?" Shirley joked.

"I chatted with Yuanying in the cafeteria, and then went to see the trainees." Chen Chen shook his head, "No one owes me money. Instead, C headquarters owes Black Cat money."

"Then what do you want to do with that expression?" Shirley walked up to Chen Chen and asked with concern, "Did you encounter something unpleasant? In the past, you always looked very happy after chatting with the trainees. Why are you like this today?"

"I feel like there's a hurdle in my heart. I can't be as close to the new girl group as I am to Integrate." Chen Chen sighed, "And this is the result of my hard work. I tried my best to perform, but it was useless. I feel like I can't accept them as my own."

"Because you and them are not familiar with each other." Shirley said, "Integrate is the one you have been keeping by your side, and these girls are new. How can you compare them?"

"Also, they lack an admirer like Yuanying and a smart girl like Ruina." Shirley added: "It will be better in the future. The girls you choose must have their own personalities, excellent personalities that everyone and even President Chen himself will like!"

"Hey~" Chen Chen seemed to understand things all of a sudden, "It seems to be true!"

"How else could it be?" Shirley teased, "Do you think your heart has suddenly become so hard that you can't even tolerate our own new girl group?"

"That's how I felt before you enlightened me." Chen Chen stroked his chest and took a deep breath. "I was scared to death. I thought I was at the point where I only treated the new girl group as a commodity instead of my own people."

"That's a good thing for the president of an entertainment company." Sulli said indifferently.

"But for Chen Chen, I don't like it." Chen Chen is determined, "I still want to keep a heart of flesh and live with love for the world and care for the people around me."

……

On January 11, (G)I-DLE, who won the music category award, returned with the title song "Spark".

The results on the first day were very good, and Tian Xiaojuan, Hong Shengcheng and Shirley all breathed a sigh of relief.

“How many first places can Sparks get?”

Shirley asked Chen Chen happily.

"I don't know. It depends on Red Velvet's mood." Chen Chen replied, "There is only one threatening competitor. If SM Entertainment is unwilling to put effort into them, the pressure will not be great. Conservatively speaking, there will be more than five winners."

"Five is a bit too little, shouldn't we also put in some effort?"

Shirley made her suggestions carefully, always observing Chen Chen's reaction.

The so-called "effort" means that the company will make some efforts on the data when the artists return.

Chen Chen has always prohibited anyone from falsifying Integrate's data, so Shirley needs to observe his words and expressions carefully.

"It depends on what SMART thinks." Chen Chen didn't react. "If they make an effort, we should make an effort too. No, let Cube Entertainment make an effort, and let C headquarters keep itself clean."

Working hard on data is a trick that has been popular in the Korean entertainment industry a few years ago. Every entertainment company is using it. Those who don’t use it, like C Headquarters, are heretics.

Although Chen Chen doesn't like it, he can't say he doesn't reject it. He can accept it all calmly.

As for why Integrate was not allowed to use this little trick, Chen Chen had other ideas. He had a big plan.

"I understand. Then I will contact President Hong now?" Shirley asked.

"Well, it's better to say it in advance than at the last minute." Chen Chen nodded and said, "And when you need to do something like this, you can watch Boss Hong operate it and learn a little bit yourself."

"Uh," Shirley tucked the scattered hair behind her ears and asked carefully, "Are we going to use it in the future?"

Chen Chen just glanced at her.

“Know how to counter.”
