"How come you're still alert after watching the news? Does the news worry you so much? You should be sleeping now."

Bae Joo-hyun brought a drink to Chen Chen, complaining a little bit.

"I'm really worried." Chen Chen reached out to take the drink, felt the temperature with his nose, and slowly put it on the table. "The starship fell too hard, which is not good for C headquarters."

Neither Chen Chen nor the wolves waiting to take a bite of the starship after it collapsed wanted it to collapse. Instead, they hoped that the starship would slowly decay, become thinner little by little, and become unable to resist external erosion. This way, they could eat and digest it a little at a time, and steadily devour the still relatively large starship.

If the starship fell to the ground with a bang and broke into pieces, everyone would have to rely on their strength to open their mouths as wide as possible to get a bite of the good stuff. There would be no other choice.

Yes, you only have one chance to eat. If you finish it and open your mouth again, others will fight you to the death, and you will definitely end up in trouble.

The ideal situation should be that the starship slowly decays while KakaoM tries to remedy it, which can not only consume KakaoM's various resources but also slowly plan for more benefits.

If asked whether he hates Starship or KakaoM, Chen Chen would definitely say he hates both.

But if he had to choose one that he hated more, Chen Chen would choose the starship controlled by KakaoM, so his initial design was to make both of them suffer a great loss, and it would be best if they could die together.

I never thought about taking all the credit, but I also didn't expect that Jin Shidai was not only a smart man but also a smart man who was particularly harsh on himself.

"Why?" Pei Zhuxuan was not afraid of the heat. Seeing that Chen Chen didn't drink it, she picked it up again and drank a sip herself first. "Isn't it enough as long as the starship falls? Have you changed your purpose?"

"..."

This question stumped Chen Chen, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

"Yes, that was the original purpose." Chen Chen explained with gestures, "But I have paid so much, it would be a big loss if I don't expect to gain something from it."

"That's true." Pei Zhuxuan nodded blankly, "We need to think about it carefully. We can't lose money in it."

"Forget it, let's think about it tomorrow. I can't think of anything now. Maybe there will be new information tomorrow." Chen Chen drank the drink in the cup and handed the cup to Pei Zhuxuan, "Let's go to rest. It's getting late. I'll go wash up and you go wash the cup."

"to make."

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, took the cup and went to the kitchen.

After washing his face in the bathroom, Chen Chen felt a little more sober, and at the same time he remembered a little bit of his original intention.

When he first made the plan to clean up the starship, it was not for any benefit. He simply wanted the starship to die.

Uh. As for the original intention, I don’t know whether Kim Ji-eun will thank Bae Joo-hyun after she helps to find it back.

……

After a good night's sleep, when I woke up, Bae Joo-hyun was already making lunch. In the kitchen with the door wide open, the sound of sizzling cooking and the woman humming could be heard.

"Wake up, go wash up, the meal will be ready soon." Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Chen Chen and said happily: "I felt very good cooking today. Flipping the wok was like working out in the gym. I feel like I'm getting healthier again!"

"Don't shake it too hard, or your arms will get bigger."

Chen Chen joked and squatted on the toilet to watch the news.

There is nothing new. The announcement of Starship last night became breaking news this morning. Everyone thinks MONSTA X is finished.

The fans were crying and wailing while attacking the company fiercely, while other colleagues in the industry were watching the joke while also secretly preparing small moves, intending to take a bite of Starship when the time was right.

However, the three large companies including C headquarters have all reduced their pressure to ensure that this piece of fat is able to drive away the flies around it.

"It would be great if we could have such tacit understanding when doing other things, but it has to be this kind of tacit understanding when it comes to harming others." Chen Chen sighed, put away his phone, and went outside to enjoy lunch.

"Are you going to the company this afternoon?"

Bae Joo-hyun had already served the meal and asked a question at the same time.

"Yes, C headquarters has been doing good business in other areas recently, and there are more things to deal with." Chen Chen asked casually: "What about you, Shamao?"

"We are preparing for the Japanese album recently, so of course we have to go back." Bae Joo-hyun replied.

"Japanese specialty"

Chen Chen thought about it in his mind and found that Red Velvet's Japanese album hardly left any impression on him.

"interested in?"

Bae Joo-hyun raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Chen.

"Not interested." Chen Chen shook his head decisively. "SMART's Japanese special has become more and more perfunctory over the years. It no longer has the feeling of surprise everywhere."

"Yes." Bae Joo Hyun herself was not very satisfied and complained: "Six songs, three scraps and three Japanese versions of the previous title songs, the perfunctory attitude is overflowing."

"The concert in Sakura Country is over. Who would deliberately try to please the fans there at this time?" Chen Chen could understand Sha Mao's behavior. "If it were me, I would also be perfunctory."

"Then you are also a black-hearted capitalist! Birds of a feather!"

Pei Zhuxuan snorted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Most people end up like this." Chen Chen rolled his eyes and apologized soullessly, "I'm really sorry that I'm not special enough, Miane."

"Pfft~" Bae Joo Hyun was amused by her boyfriend's funny expression, and the discussion about concepts just now came to an abrupt end. "Okay, let's eat quickly. You still have to wash the dishes after eating."

……

After finishing her housework and arriving at headquarters C, Shirley handed Chen Chen a report.

"This is the specific data of the news last night accusing us of manipulating Zheng Daon to attack the starship. Study it and see if it needs to be processed or responded to."

"Don't worry about it. If you come out now, you will only invite trouble." Chen Chen took a look and put it aside. "Besides, it hasn't gotten out of hand yet."

"I think so too." Sulli's analysis became more and more professional. "MONSTA X's fans have a lot of anger right now and have nowhere to vent it. If we come out to clarify at this time, we will become a new target."

"Emotions have overwhelmed facts, and we are going to bear the brunt of it whether it was our doing or not."

"Because they don't care. The MONSTA X they were fans of died, and now they want to drag everyone involved in this incident down with them."

"What's more," Shirley turned her head and glanced at Chen Chen, "You really did it. You can't run away anyway."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Chen was shocked and his posture became straight. "I didn't do it. It's just that my source happened to have contact with that person!"

"Okay, it's all coincidence." Shirley smiled and handed over some information. "In the Baeksang Arts Awards, C headquarters took up half of the TV category."
