Before Li Zhien could express her agreement, Chen Chen's phone rang.

"Wow, it's a call from Mr. Hong from Cube Entertainment!" Chen Chen's eyes widened. "Is he done with his work, or is he desperate? He actually calls me at this time?!"

"You answer it first!" Li Zhien was more anxious than Chen Chen, "Remember to turn on the speakerphone, I want to listen too!"

"..."

Chen Chen's originally somewhat excited mood was suddenly suppressed by this woman's gossiping heart.

Line connected.

"Do you need my advice, Boss Hong?"

Chen Chen didn't laugh, but showed his concern and warmth right away.

"I want to know what Boss Chen would do in this situation, so I called him." Hong Shengcheng's voice was low, as if he had been on the phone for a long time. "From my perspective, I am a little helpless. I want to know how Boss Chen can break the deadlock with his intelligence and wisdom."

"Given our friendship, I am naturally willing to contribute my ideas to President Hong, but I need President Hong to provide me with some inside information, is that okay?" Chen Chen replied, "After all, an outsider who doesn't know the inside story can't come up with good ideas at all."

"In fact," Chen Chen paused and said, "I don't even know what the current situation is."

"It's very simple." Hong Shengcheng's heart may have been broken, and he said without any hesitation, "The matter with Hyun-ya can be seen as another faction of Cube Entertainment attacking me. I can't solve it now and don't know how to solve it."

"So Boss Hong does not agree to fire HyunA and Kim Hyojong, right?" Chen Chen asked.

"Kim Hyojong doesn't mind, but how could I agree to fire HyunA?" Hong Seungsung sighed, "She is the one I brought with me from childhood. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is my niece."

"But I remember that Cube Entertainment's president is still Boss Hong, right? You don't need to approve the dismissal of the company's top female employee." Chen Chen couldn't help but smack his lips. "Has the other party become so powerful?"

"Except for iHQ, President Hong should be the largest shareholder who can crush other shareholders. How could this happen?" Chen Chen asked.

"Since you can ask such a question, it means you have guessed it." Hong Shengcheng sighed, "Yes, iHQ is dissatisfied with me."

"Let's talk about me first. The biggest problem is actually still here."

"I was forced to withdraw from the company's management due to illness. After I left, the remaining shareholders fought for power and profit, making the company a mess. It was totally unbearable to look at."

"After the interests were damaged, iHQ invited me back to take charge of the overall situation. In other words, I have only just returned to the cube."

"I just came back so naturally my control over the company is certainly not as strong as before, but after all, I built this company with my own hands, and I still have some influence, so it shouldn't be particularly difficult to clean up the mess."

"But just when I had almost sorted things out internally, iHQ, who had always supported me, suddenly turned against me. They thought I might leave the company again due to my health and was not suitable to continue to lead the company. They wanted to use their people to take senior positions to lead the company."

"That is to say, I was abandoned."

"iHQ asked me to come out and organize the company, and they also wanted to run the company that I had almost organized, so HyunA was fired today."

"HyunA was brought up by me and she is my staunch supporter, so she was the first to be attacked." Hong Shengcheng's tone was full of helplessness, "And I couldn't resist."

"..."

What a classic plot of a big hand coming in from behind and forcibly picking the fruit. Chen Chen had only seen it in novels before, but he didn't expect to see it in real life. It just didn't feel good, and he couldn't feel anything except absurdity.

However, unlike reading novels, Chen Chen has the opportunity to get involved, because it is obvious that Hong Shengcheng called him and wanted him to get involved!

Oh my, it makes me a little excited when I think about it.

In addition, while Chen Chen was excited, he also figured out why iHQ suddenly sold the cube. It turned out that he couldn't play it well and it was just a waste of money. How funny.

"I roughly understand. I understand the current situation that President Hong is facing and the difficulties he may face in the future." Chen Chen first expressed his indignation. "In order to gain the company, he would rather let the company suffer a great loss. Such a person is too immoral!"

Hong Shengcheng did not respond. This kind of verbal support could not move him at all.

"I'm going to say something unpleasant," Chen Chen continued, sentencing him to death. "You are in the middle of the three levels of power, but both the upper, middle and lower levels want to eliminate you. This is a 100% dead end."

Hong Shengcheng still didn't say anything. He had seen through this a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have contacted Chen Chen, who was not related at all.

"But you still have a choice." Chen Chen finally got to the point, "What do you think is the foundation of an entertainment company?"

Hong Shengcheng suddenly became excited and replied, "They are outstanding artists. With artists as the foundation, the company will develop well."

"Yes, I think so too." Chen Chen asked slowly, "What is the current position of artists in Cube Entertainment?"

"Of course they have a very good relationship with me. It was thanks to the support of the artists that I was not defeated directly. Otherwise, the opponent's overwhelming power would have eliminated me long ago." Hong Shengcheng replied.

"But the artists can't always support you like they do now, and you can't let them bet their lives on a war that you are likely to lose. So," Chen Chen said calmly, "while the artists still have power and the other side hasn't completely unified, find a backer for the artists."

"You see, A CUBE, which is backed by Loen, was not affected."

Chen Chen even gave an example.

But after giving this example, Chen Chen regretted it. He felt that he seemed a little too hasty.

A CUBE is not affected because Loen holds 70% of their shares. Chen Chen cited this example to almost indicate that Hong Shengcheng can attract new and influential forces to join the game.

There could actually be several people who could provide this force, but Chen Chen hopes it is C headquarters, and now only C headquarters is capable of freeing up its hands.

"Pull in a sufficiently powerful force to deter the upper echelons from making any rash moves. You can then take advantage of the opportunity to retake the lower echelons, and then gather your forces to fight the powerful enemy together." Chen Chen continued, "Finally, you will win and regain control of the Cube."

"Of course, that new power needs to come from someone you trust enough to ensure that it is willing to leave after the dust settles," Chen Chen added.

"Do you mean that C Headquarters is the force that I can fully trust?" Hong Shengcheng said in a serious tone.

Chen Chen was not affected by him and his tone seemed very relaxed.

"Since you called me, I think you would want to try it even if it's not your turn, right?"
