"Has it been exposed from the beginning?"

"Or is it that my acting is too immature and seems to be very purposeful, making him wary?"

"Or maybe he was just like he appeared to be, because he was distracted by the company's affairs and didn't notice that I was acting."

"No, no, no, that's impossible. To think that way is to look down on Boss Hong."

"..."

Chen Chen recited this all the way back to the company and cooled down the CPU at the air-conditioning outlet in the office.

then
Chen Chen was very sure that Hong Shengcheng was acting. He didn't want to go to the point where he had to exchange his shares in Soy Sauce Bottle for his shares in Cube Entertainment.

At that time, the fact that Chen Chen got some shares of the soy sauce bottle company caused a big stir and made headlines twice in South Korea. It was impossible for Hong Shengcheng not to know that he had this thing in his hands.

Moreover, Soy Sauce Bottle is currently in a strong position, and the value of one point of Soy Sauce Bottle's shares is obviously much higher than one point of C headquarters.

Um.
If he knew about it but never mentioned it, it means that he looked down on Chen Chen or he guessed what Chen Chen was planning and didn't intend to give him a chance.

Then let's just drag it out like this, and talk about it when Boss Hong feels there is really no other way. Anyway, it's not the C headquarters that is in a hurry, and Chen Chen will only use the shares of Soy Sauce Bottle to make transactions anyway.

"You're sweating and blowing the air conditioner hard. Are you expecting a headache?!" Shirley couldn't stand it anymore and said, "What have you been busy with these past two days? I can't even see you."

"You really don't know what I'm busy with? Even if Jieun is too busy to tell you, you must have seen the report about your senior Xuxian." Chen Chen walked over like a street urchin. "Have you read the latest report? What do you think is the main problem that caused the failure of this negotiation?"

"You don't know? You weren't there when we were talking?" Shirley rolled her eyes. "Asking questions when you know the answer will only make you lose points."

"Professionals should do professional things. I'll let our minister discuss this." Chen Chen picked up the report and slammed it on the table twice. "So I don't know what happened. You have to read this report."

"Then you don't need to read it." Shirley came over, snatched the report from his hand and threw it into the trash can. "Our minister is too stingy. He doesn't give us a lot of resources. Of course others will be upset."

"Stingy?" Chen Chen couldn't believe it. "How can C headquarters be related to stinginess?"

"You are the only one who is generous. Others don't dare to be extravagant." Shirley complained: "The company's current resources are all due to you. They don't dare to take your things and use them casually."

"Understood. I'll just tell the director later. You can be more generous with resources. The resources at C headquarters are sufficient." Chen Chen scratched his chin, feeling a little annoyed. "But it is indeed a problem that all my resources are mine. I hope that the company can change this situation after it has other artists."

"So the signing of Seohyun-sun has been completed?" Sulli felt a little pain in her teeth. "Is it that simple? Signing an artist with a decent fan base is that simple?"

"You have to quickly adapt to the reality that the status of C headquarters is different now." Chen Chen said with a smile: "We are only short of core artists to enter the ranks of big companies."

"It's only lacking mid-level artists. How can an entertainment company without even mid-level artists become a big company?!" Sulli felt that her worldview was challenged. "This is wrong. This is not the South Korean entertainment industry I know!"

"LOEN only has IU, who dares to look down on it?" Chen Chen gave an example, "Entertainment companies can do a lot of things, not just cultivating and operating artists." "That's right." Sulli figured it out and didn't hesitate, "We have Bubble and Tik Tok operations as an extremely strong foundation, we can produce variety shows, TV series, and movies by ourselves, and we have our own unique distribution channels and extremely powerful distributors. The only thing we lack is artists."

"But after Integrate debuts, we won't be short of artists." Sulli suddenly thought of something and said, "Recently, the kids from Integrate reported that you're very cold. Is that true?"

"Who reported it?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Who else could it be?" Shirley pouted. "Yuanying, she likes you the most."

"Once I bring the starship down, it will be back to normal. It won't work now." Chen Chen waved his hand. "Just tell her so."

"Take down the starship. Aren't you busy with the cube now?" Shirley was shocked. "You want to start a war on both sides at the same time? No, that's too difficult!"

"Look, I knew you knew what I was busy with recently, but you deliberately didn't tell me and waited for me to bring it up!" Chen Chen pulled her into his arms and gave her a stern look, then replied, "It's all a long-term battle, and the types of resources consumed by both sides are different, so you don't have to worry."

"Ah, I knew you were going to take the path of swallowing up other companies." Sulli sighed deeply, "That's your style of doing things. I can tell from the fact that you've been using trainees and staff from other companies to fill the content of C headquarters."

"South Korea is so small, and its entertainment resources are limited. If C wants to grow, it can only choose to eat up others." Chen Chen explained in a low voice, "The most important thing is that this method is very fast. I don't have time to grow slowly."

"Just keep it in mind." Shirley rubbed his chin with her head. "I don't really understand these things and I can't give you any advice. You just have to be careful."

"I understand." Chen Chen patted her butt and put Shirley down from his lap. "Okay, I have to go home and recharge. I'm so tired from acting today and haven't received any positive feedback yet. I'm exhausted both physically and mentally!"

"Are you sure you didn't use too much force on Jieun last night?" Sulli teased.

"Don't make a fuss. I slept at home alone last night because today's scene was too important." Chen Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, "But I didn't expect that they seemed to have seen through my acting from the beginning, and even played along with me for a while. It was really embarrassing."

"Boss Hong is so nice. He is willing to act with you in such a critical situation." Shirley was a little surprised.

"It's not that he is willing, but he has to." Chen Chen shook his head, "He is waiting for me to save him, how could he not be willing to act with me."

"Then you are just a bad guy?" Shirley tilted her head in confusion.

"No, I will save him. Judging from the final result, he will indeed be saved by me." Chen Chen said confidently, "Not only did he not lose the things he was going to lose, but he will also keep them in his hands as he wished. I am helping him!"

"But how do you know that he will definitely lose?" Shirley pouted, "How can you make others believe that you are saving him?"

"Yeah, so I look like a bad guy who wants to steal other people's things." Chen Chen sniffed and lowered his eyes in grievance, "I'm so hurt."
