star of the peninsula

The meal was quite enjoyable, mainly because Suzy was so good at cooking.

In terms of age, she is one year younger than Chen Chen, and it is so comforting to call him "Oppa" from time to time; in terms of seniority, she is a first-line artist who has debuted for eight or nine years and has seen all kinds of ups and downs. No matter what topic is discussed, she can always give a generous and decent response.

If you combine all the circumstances, it's very difficult. This kind of woman exudes a difficult aura from head to toe, and is definitely not an easy person to get along with.

The most difficult thing is that although you can clearly feel that Suzy respects you in the way she speaks and acts and will deliberately lower her posture, the degree is not high. You can feel it but it is actually useless.

This feeling made Chen Chen a little irritated, but he also knew that this was the privilege of celebrities. Those celebrities could sit comfortably and negotiate various conditions with the company.

After all, artists are artists and stars are stars. There are many artists but stars are not common.

Just like when Miss A was together, the other members were entertainers and idols, but Suzy was always a star.

……

"After eating, I think I can probably see how embarrassed Jinyoung will be when facing Suzy."

Pei Zhuxuan made tea for Chen Chen, and Chen Chen sat aside and talked to her about dinner tonight.

"She's a celebrity, so of course she's qualified to discuss terms with the president." Pei Zhuxuan didn't find it strange, "Celebrities of this level are actually qualified to start their own companies."

"That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it? Is it enough?" Chen Chen felt that it was not enough. "It's okay to open a studio, but it's still too difficult to open a company."

"Others may not have enough, but Suzy senior definitely has enough." Bae Joo Hyun reminded: "Don't forget where her biggest income comes from."

It’s a commercial endorsement, which has never stopped since his debut.

I won’t comment on her acting skills, nor do I want to say much about her ability to choose scripts. Anyway, a large part of the credit for her success in the industry can be attributed to her amazing ability to sell products.

Although "promoting products" may sound a bit low-end, the essence of commercial endorsement is this. People ask you to do advertising simply to sell their products, not because they want to look good.

If you can sell the goods, you will be the favorite of advertisers. If you can't sell the goods, no matter how famous you are as a star, it will be useless and you will still be unpopular.

Advertisers are one of the financial backers in the entertainment industry and their status is much higher than that of the artists.

"That's right." Chen Chen nodded, "It will definitely not be a problem for Xiuzhi to open a small company of her own."

"So others can really get along with you, and their status won't be much lower than yours after entering the company." Pei Zhuxuan thought for a while and said, "In other words, you and Shirley will have a higher status than her."

"But I don't really want this to happen." Chen Chen's brows began to knot, "I feel uncomfortable that there is someone with a similar status to me in the C headquarters."

"What's up with that?" Pei Zhuxuan asked curiously, "How can you feel up about something like this? I'm here to work for you."

"Shirley is completely on my side, so I don't mind her being a bit high." Chen Chen replied, "But if someone with a high status comes but doesn't stand 100% on my side, I'll feel uncomfortable. The C headquarters must develop 100% according to my instructions, which is an unshakable cornerstone."

"You..." Pei Zhuxuan's concerned expression suddenly turned into speechlessness. "You are not that worried about nothing, are you? He is still an artist at heart. At most, he can say a few more words about his own affairs and strive for more freedom. It will definitely not affect the company's operations."

"Ah, I get it!" Pei Zhuxuan suddenly realized and said with a smile: "You just haven't had an artist of this level, so you are just imagining and scaring yourself!"

"Hahaha, Chen Chen has become an idiot! Really... umm."

"You've had it before? Why do you know so much?!" Chen Chen was so angry that he muted her physically and covered her mouth with his hand.

After slapping Chen Chen's hand away, Pei Zhuxuan said slowly: "I definitely haven't gotten it, but I have seen it."

"I have seen her." Chen Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind, "Kwon Bo-ah?" "Yes, that's Director Bo-ah." Bae Joo-hyun used Bo-ah as an example and told her boyfriend her opinion very seriously, "It goes without saying how important she was to SMART back then. She was also a star among stars, and even became a director later."

"But no one has seen her influence anything at the company's operational level. She has always been a member of the board of directors who is responsible for doing things."

"Even directors can't influence the company's top decisions, and artists certainly can't do that, so you don't have to worry."

"the most important is"

"You are Chen Chen. You are the most outstanding entertainment company president in the history of South Korean entertainment. But she is not the most outstanding artist in the Korean entertainment industry. She should be the one who is nervous."

"It's not normal for you to focus on other people's achievements and ignore your own."

"Conclusion" Pei Zhuxuan smiled gently, then held her right hand with her left hand, and handed the teacup to Chen Chen seriously and firmly, "You are nervous. Now you should stop thinking about her and have a good rest for the night."

"..."

"You're right." Chen Chen reached out to take the teacup, "It's time to have a good rest. Maybe staying up late to record the song and only sleeping for a short time in the afternoon made me a little nervous."

"But it feels pretty good." Chen Chen drank the tea in the cup, and his expression suddenly turned into a slightly scary joy. "I haven't been this nervous for a long time. It's quite exciting to do it once in a while."

"..."

"Psycho." Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes to the sky, "If I had known you liked excitement, I would have said nothing."

"It's better to say it." Chen Chen joked, "What if C headquarters has the opportunity to sign a big star like you again in the future? Then I won't have to be nervous, right?"

"Forget it. Even if I don't deny that I have the potential to become a big star, it's still too early to do so just by calculating the contract period." Bae Joo Hyun stretched out her entire white palm and waved it in front of her boyfriend's eyes. "The contract still has five years left. Five years! I haven't even debuted for five years yet!"

"It's okay. It's not a particularly long time, and..."

Chen Chen's eyes couldn't help but wander off into the distance, his thoughts drawn to things that were going to happen in the future.

"And what?"

Pei Zhuxuan asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just thought of something very interesting." Chen Chen replied with a smile.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Bae Joo-hyun threw herself on Chen Chen and acted coquettishly.

"That's it." Chen Chen smacked his lips and spoke slowly, "I'm thinking of taking you to C headquarters. In fact, I will go to SMART first!"

“Pfft~Hahahaha!”

"Yeah, you really have the nerve to say that!"

Bae Joo-hyun fell headfirst onto the sofa and almost died from laughing.
