"By the way, old man, do you want to come over and play with us?"

After briefly mentioning Tzuyu's situation, Chen Chen also invited Park Jin-young to come and play together.

"May I?"

Park Jin-young raised his eyebrows and his heart was beating wildly.

He is a person who likes to be lively and is happy to play with his artists. He is not afraid of appearing on shows or performing on stage together.

"Of course you can, but you can only come last, and you have to bring gifts." Chen Chen added a lot of conditions as soon as he opened his mouth. "If you join from the beginning, this program won't be possible. Everyone will be worried about your identity and won't be able to let go."

"It means I can't play anything and still have to give gifts, do you think this is reasonable?" Park Jin Young said dissatisfiedly.

"It makes sense, because I have to do the same." Chen Chen spread his hands, indicating that he had no bad intentions at all. "Why don't you just sit in the studio with me as a commentator? We'll cut to the footage of us doing the commentary, and then go out with me to eat and chat. With me here to cushion the situation, your appearance at the end won't seem abrupt, and it won't ruin the atmosphere."

"I always feel like I'm at a disadvantage. Let me think about it again." Park Jin-young hesitated but also had a little hope. "Anyway, we're both going to be the last to appear. It won't affect anything if I tell you at the last minute that I want to go, right?"

"The extra pair of bowls and chopsticks will definitely not affect it." Chen Chen waved his hand casually, "Maybe someone else will see the news and want to come over to show their face."

"When the live broadcast started, it became a very large event. Some people would definitely think that this was a network cast by me, Chen Chen, and everyone who came in was someone close to me."

"I didn't come in." Chen Chen shrugged and didn't continue talking about the sensitive topic. "Who knows that I just want to have fun? I just want to spend the New Year simply."

"You've had a very costly year. It must have cost a lot just to pay the staff's salaries, right?" Park Jin-young asked.

"Why spend money? Isn't it common for a few employees to work overtime for such a fun event?" Chen Chen squinted his eyes and asked provocatively, "Don't you have such employees in Soy Sauce Bottle?"

"Even if there are employees who volunteer to work overtime, Soy Sauce Bottle will definitely pay them overtime wages."

Park Jin-young replied with his neck stiff, saying that everyone has their own judgment as to whether it is true or not.

"Really?" Chen Chen didn't care at all, his expression was still relaxed, "I won't give it to you anyway."

Chen Chen did not lie. There were quite a lot of employees who volunteered to work overtime on this matter, so it was also true that he did not intend to pay them wages.

For the employees, they have personally experienced the generosity and magnanimity of C headquarters in the past year. Since this is what Chen Chen, the only person at the helm of C headquarters, wants to do, no matter whether he has ulterior motives or just wants to have fun, at this time they just need to go over and do their job well and make themselves familiar.

What's the big deal about voluntary overtime? Even if there is no C headquarters, Chen Chen didn't suddenly come up with such a thing. Isn't it normal to work overtime? !
Since overtime is "voluntary" and "unpaid", it is definitely better to work for a generous boss than for a stingy one.

This was the employees' plan, but Chen Chen's own idea was to give red envelopes instead of wages.

He plans to maintain the Chinese tradition of giving out red envelopes during the Spring Festival, and it would look more generous if he simply puts his wages in the red envelopes.

This will certainly cost a lot more than directly paying wages, but the benefits are also significant. At least those who receive the big red envelopes will understand that red envelopes are given out during the Chinese New Year.

Not to mention that they will look forward to such a day at C headquarters in the future, at least it can help them and the audience in the live broadcast room better distinguish what the Chinese Lunar New Year is.

Only by having the ability to distinguish specific things can we avoid many unnecessary stupid things. "Did you have a good chat with Suzy last time?"

After Park Jin-young finished talking about what he wanted to know, he moved on to the next topic without any transition.

"Not bad." Chen Chen nodded and said, "If it wasn't okay, there wouldn't be this second meeting."

"What did you talk about last time? Tell me if you can." Perhaps because he felt that the request was a bit abrupt, Park Jin-young quickly added, "It's not that I have any bad thoughts, I'm just simply curious."

"It's natural that we can't let go of the friendship that has lasted for more than ten years since we were trainees. I can understand how Jinyoung feels." Chen Chen smiled and revealed a little to him. "We didn't talk about much. Basically, we talked about our views on the current entertainment industry, possible future development directions, and what kind of company C Headquarters is."

"Then we should discuss the details this time." Park Jin-young sighed, took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Chen Chen generously, "Do you need any reference materials? I have the contract that Soy Sauce Bottle originally intended to issue to Suzy. I can lend it to you to take a look."

"No." Chen Chen waved his hand to refuse, and his reason was also very appropriate, "After reading it, you will have a fixed psychological expectation, which is not good for free negotiation. Besides, we haven't talked about the signing of the contract yet, it's too early to talk about this now."

The contract will definitely not be signed now, but after today's chat, Chen Chen will invite her to the live broadcast program to celebrate the New Year with everyone in the C headquarters.

If Suzy agrees to this request, the contract will basically be a sure thing.

"Regarding Suzy, does Jinyoung have any top-secret personal information that you can share with me?"

In return, Chen Chen also asked Park Jin Young for some information.

"There's not much to say, except to say that she's not that easy to deal with." Park Jin Young said, "I'm not talking about business. In business, Suzy has always been very dedicated. In her private time, including when she's not in the public eye, she's a very difficult person to deal with."

Okay, even though I said something that Chen Chen already knew, at least I didn’t lie.

"That's enough for our chat." Chen Chen stood up and said goodbye, "I'm going back to the office first. I have more important things to do later."

……

"Tuk Tuk~"

After two polite knocks on the door, Suzy pushed the door open and walked in.

"Let's not talk today." Chen Chen turned his chair and pushed the documents on the table forward. "Let's talk after we finish reading the contract."

I just said that the contract will not be signed today, but now is the perfect time to talk about this.

As expected, Suzy also took out a contract and handed it to Chen Chen. Her own team also had something they wanted to fight for.

As a result, the two parties met for twenty minutes but spoke less than five sentences in total. This damn tacit understanding is sometimes quite annoying.
