After saying goodbye to Hong Shengcheng, Chen Chen patted his butt and wandered over to SMART Company.

It was too early for the agreed time, so Chen Chen planned to have a drink at the beverage store and continue what he was doing when he was interrupted.

"Let's just search the BTS music library. Everyone has a responsibility to fight against Hybe."

"Also, CLC will give a song that will explode, and BTOB will give a song that is just average for them. They must not be confused."

"If we consider the current time and conservatively calculate the future by another half year, what options are available?"

"..."

"Chen Chen, why are you here?!"

Lee Sun-kyu, who was strolling around the company, greeted him with surprise.

"I came to find you." Chen Chen was in a playful mood and joked, "C headquarters has a lot of programs that need guests, and I immediately thought of you. You stay at home every day and do nothing, so why not come to me and make some money, don't you think so?"

"What's right? What's right?!" Lee Sunkyu was panicking. "I've been in the industry for more than ten years. I have the ability to choose what to do and what not to do. Don't make things difficult for me!"

"Is this the attitude you should have towards someone who might be your financial sponsor?" Chen Chen "harshly" accused, "You are living too casually right now, Lee Sunkyu!"

"Ah Xi, don't call my name so loudly, call me Sunny outside!" Lee Sunkyu was not afraid at all, "Laxity is the corporate culture of SMART, it can't be changed!"

"Don't take fans' jokes seriously, that's not a good thing." Chen Chen sighed and said, "Just now it was a joke, now it's serious. There are so many variety shows in the headquarters, come and play if you have nothing to do."

"Or rather." Chen Chen added: "Shall I add a radio station for you? C headquarters also has a radio station. When you come, you will be on the same channel as Wendy."

"Let me think about it." Lee Sunkyu ordered herself a drink and sat down. "Logically, your C headquarters is in its heyday, and there will be no shortage of guests no matter what you do. Why did you target me?"

"Because I can't bear to see people living a fairy-tale life at a young age without having to work or make an effort. I hate it with gnashing teeth!" Chen Chen joked.

Li Shunkyu naturally saw through Chen Chen's joke, so she didn't respond to him and changed the subject.

"I heard that you are interested in Cube Entertainment?" Lee Sun-kyu asked.

"It's just a simple business deal, how come people outside interpret it as being taken advantage of?" Chen Chen frowned, "Isn't this statement quite right?"

"There's no right or wrong, because there's only this one possibility." Li Shungyu looked at Chen Chen with disdain, "If there weren't huge benefits in it, how could a smart person like you take the initiative to jump into the fire pit of Cube Entertainment? No one needs to guess, everyone knows what you want!"

"Well, there are still too many smart people in this world." Chen Chen shook his head, "But it's useless. I will do what I should do and I will do what I have to do. Most people don't have the ability to stop me, and those who have the ability to stop me are unwilling to pay such a high price."

"Oh my god," Lee Sunkyu tilted her head and looked at Chen Chen, "The little boy who was too shy to speak at my radio station has suddenly become a big boss who is in charge of everything. It's amazing."

"Oh no, you have added too many filters to your memories, haven't you?" Chen Chen was speechless. "When I went to your radio station, I was not young anymore, but the word 'boy' has nothing to do with me."

"Also, what do you want to say?" Chen Chen asked directly, "I don't think we are in a relationship where we can discuss this kind of topic, and I don't think you are someone who would want to talk about this kind of thing."

"I heard that Xiaoxian is very close to joining C headquarters, so I thought of trying to get close to you to get some connections for our youngest." Lee Sunkyu told the truth, "Girls' Generation's youngest who wanted to be an actress and left SM Entertainment can't actually get on the new aircraft carrier of C headquarters, right?"

"Let me make it clear first, we are not very close. We are still in the process of negotiation and the talks may break down at any time." Chen Chen kept a distance from her. "What you said later is quite good. If we really look at the hard conditions from the perspective of the actors, Xu Xian can only be a guest actor in C's works, and it is impossible for me to sign a contract specifically for a guest actor."

"So what do you like about her?" Lee Sun-kyu asked.

"The foundation is clean, the traffic is good, and then" Chen Chen shrugged, "that's it."

"Is it that simple?" Lee Sun-kyu expressed disbelief.

"Yes, it's that simple." Chen Chen replied, "For me, being able to do this is enough." "Hiss~ I feel like I'm going to be doomed." Li Shungyu took a breath and accurately saw what might happen in the future. "To be honest, you don't care about her at all, right? You didn't care when you took her into the company, and you won't care when you throw her into a corner later!"

"It's not as scary as you say. At least she has a good attitude now. It would be psychologically stressful to abandon her casually." Chen Chen replied: "Besides, her traffic is also valuable. It shouldn't be abandoned."

"Not to mention that Girls' Generation has such a high status. If I really lose her, the fans will spit at me."

"..."

Chen Chen's words were not very pleasant to hear, but Li Shungyu was speechless.

She couldn't ask Chen Chen to take care of someone who had nothing to do with him, nor could she really turn a blind eye to the affairs of the youngest member.

Moreover, she was not used to the way Chen Chen casually manipulated someone of similar status to herself, and she always felt a sense of powerlessness that she could empathize with him.

"I won't delay your work."

Lee Sun-kyu fled without saying anything.

Chen Chen watched her go away, then went back to drinking his drink as if nothing had happened.

He sensed something was wrong, but he didn't care.

……

……

Closing his eyes and going through the information in his head, Chen Chen managed to find a few useful works.

Standing up and asking the front desk for a pen and paper, Chen Chen tore off a piece of paper and slowly wrote the two names "Dynamite" and "Boy with Luv".

Then he wrote the names of BTOB and CLC under these two names respectively, comparing them top to bottom.

"No, no."

Chen Chen raised his pen and drew a cross, which both denied what he had just done and reallocated the ownership of the songs.

BTOB must take "Dynamite". The light-hearted and cheerful pop music style is their comfort zone and the direction they have always been moving towards.

In other words, although the song "Dynamite" will receive a very good performance from BTOB, the power it can demonstrate will be very average.

Would it be considered remarkable if someone who always scored 85 points scored 90 points once? No, it would only make people think that you were a little luckier, and meeting Chen Chen was recognized as BTOB's good luck.

It was Chen Chen’s brilliant idea to let CLC perform the all-boy group song “Boy with Luv”.

The topic of girls dancing to men's songs has become very popular. "Boy with Luv" itself is very powerful. The two complement each other and can already reserve several hit stages.

The excitement of CLC's meteoric rise from the bottom will be widely discussed, and there is another topic to be discussed at the same time. If the next song is no longer Chen Chen's work, what kind of performance will CLC bring to everyone?
"The people are good, but the company is not. What kind of things do they give?!"

Chen Chen has traveled through time and space to see everyone's comments.

There will be no surprises, because CLC has always been saying this when it was still a small and obscure company.

OK, the pressure has been successfully put on Cube Entertainment.
