"What's your psychological expectation? How much?" Chen Chen looked at Li Zhien with a smile, "Soy Sauce Bottle has set an expectation of 7 for GOT, you can use it as a reference."

IU's tenth anniversary is coming, and Chen Chen has discussed an album sales plan with KakaoM.

To put it simply, the purpose is to use the tenth anniversary as an excuse to produce a new batch of previously released albums for sale, and change the distributor to the current Black Cat.

The reasons are right, the profits are huge, and the fans are very receptive. There is no reason not to do it.

"They got 400,000, and mine 100,000?" Li Zhien hesitated and gave the number, but after giving it, she felt a little unwilling, "Well, it's a bit too little, how about 150,000, after all, there are so many albums."

"150,000 is a bit too little. 250,000 might be a more appropriate number."

Chen Chen estimated it and felt that this level was reasonable.

"But don't be surprised if it's more than 250,000. I can't tell how many fans you've gained, and whether your Chinese fans will go crazy once they can easily buy your album." Chen Chen added, "I'm not very familiar with the Chinese market, and I still don't have a specific understanding of their spending power."

“You can say that someone who has sold two million albums doesn’t understand?” Li Zhien squinted and said, “I’m afraid no one can understand better than you!”

"Small profits but quick turnover, an album is dirt cheap, I would be a bit stupid if I took the performance under such circumstances seriously." Chen Chen made a scathing judgment, "It's better to sell at a normal price and then use the earned money to inflate it, which is safer and more face-saving!"

"Why is it safe and prestigious?" Li Zhien asked puzzledly: "Isn't water injection the easiest to see?"

"Yeah, it's easy for most people to see it, but it won't work on me." Chen Chen kissed her face proudly, "Because I don't think anyone would suspect that I'm injecting water."

"It's shameless to use your fame and status to force others to compromise." Li Zhien rolled her eyes in disdain, "Don't you ever do this kind of thing again!"

"It's difficult." Chen Chen didn't continue her words, but told her something calmly, "When you really have a reputation, others will change their behavior towards you, and you will unconsciously take advantage of them."

"Besides!" Chen Chen's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, from calm to flamboyant, "I have fought so hard to gain this reputation and status. Why should I not enjoy it? I should be a good person who is bullied by others and scolded behind my back, right? I won't do that!"

"That's true." Li Zhien sighed, "In this world, if you don't bully others, you will be bullied by others. There is still a long way to go before we can achieve the beauty that everyone imagines."

"Let's not talk about this, this topic is quite dangerous. What do you want to eat tonight?" Chen Chen stood up slowly, "Do you really only want to eat spicy rice cakes?"

"Let's eat something else. I don't feel like eating that much anymore."

Li Zhien rolled her eyes and quickly changed her mind.

"I knew it would be like this." Chen Chen poked her nose and pushed her down on the sofa. "I'm going to buy groceries. You stay at home."

Two days ago, Lee Ji-eun saw the news that Chen Chen posted spicy stir-fried rice cakes with Bae Joo-hyun at the sports meeting. For some reason, she has been obsessed with spicy stir-fried rice cakes these days.

But, Chen Chen was sure that when he really came over to make her spicy fried rice cakes, she wouldn't want it that much anymore, and that was indeed the case in reality.

After going out and strolling around a few times, Chen Chen went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables. After thinking about it, he decided to buy the ingredients for making spicy fried rice cakes. Although she said she didn't want to eat it, Chen Chen definitely couldn't not make it.

...Soon after, Chen Chen returned to Li Zhien's house with two large bags of food.

"You're back, why did you buy so much?"

When Lee Ji-eun went to take the thing in his hand, she suddenly fell down and was immediately surprised.

"Do you think it's a common thing for me to cook? Of course I have to make more for you at once." Chen Chen took the ingredients back from her hand with a smile, "You can keep them for yourself and eat them slowly, or bring some for your colleagues when you go out to work. It's always better than takeout."

"Why is it only a little bit stronger?" Li Zhien looked at Chen Chen with starry eyes, "Shouldn't the things you make be precious?"

"Because it's really only a little bit stronger." Chen Chen put the ingredients on the table. "Don't give me any added value. Food is food. It's meant to be eaten. The main thing is that other people's takeout is hot, and takeout is not as bad as everyone thinks."

"Hey~ You don't have any sense of humor at all." Li Zhien pouted in dissatisfaction, "You do it yourself, I'm going to be busy."

Chen Chen smiled and began to process the ingredients slowly. When he was almost done, he could call Lee Ji-eun back. This girl would definitely come to help.

“Jie Eun, come here and cut the vegetables into appropriate sizes. Use some to make soup, some for me to cook vegetables later, and the rest for me to chop up so I can fry some meatballs for you.”

Chen Chen called out softly, and Lee Ji-eun, who had already prepared herself in the living room, came over happily.

"There are so many ways to do this, and they all sound good. Why am I not happy?" Li Zhien frowned cutely, "It feels like you won't come over for a long time."

"You're going to be busy with your tenth anniversary soon, so I won't have many opportunities to come over." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head, "Besides, even if I came, I probably wouldn't have the time to cook for you properly."

"Are you busy next?" Li Zhien asked curiously, "Haven't you assigned all the work of C headquarters? Is there anything else to do?"

"It's not as simple as you think. There are still many things in C headquarters that I must do." Chen Chen gave an example, "For example, the establishment and initial development of some projects must be completed by me. Others cannot bear that responsibility."

"In addition, I have to pay close attention to your album, GOT7's album, and EXO's album later." Chen Chen joked, "You don't want any problems with the production and distribution of your album, do you, singer?"

"Oh~" Li Zhien nodded in understanding, "Now that you mention it, there are indeed many places where you are needed."

"Hahaha, that's my company. What if they don't need me anymore?" Chen Chen laughed. "How can a train not need a locomotive?"

"But this isn't what's keeping me busy lately." Chen Chen couldn't help smacking his lips. "It's because the talent show in China is going to have its second season, and they asked me to be their coach."

"China Produce 101" has ended for several months, and the capitalists who have tasted the benefits can't wait to start the second season.

So, Chen Chen was pulled over to work again.
