star of the peninsula

Feeling very sorry, even to the point of being unable to sleep, Chen Chen decided to go downstairs for a walk.

The streets in the early morning are still bustling and even noisy. You don't have to worry about safety when walking on the road, as long as you don't deliberately walk on unlit paths.

However, this is the most valuable area in South Korea after all, and it is rare to see unlit alleys, which sounds like a luxury.

No lights? Why not install a neon sign?!
Trails, oh my goodness, there are still unused trails in Cheongdam-dong where every inch of land is valuable. We should build and utilize them quickly, as this costs money!
So just go shopping boldly without any worries, don’t be too timid.

South Korea is not that cold in March anymore. The outdoor dining seats that were scarce in winter are now everywhere. If nothing unexpected happens, a lot of drunkards will be produced in a few hours.

Chen Chen is not interested in these people, as long as they don't mess with him.

He was originally wandering around aimlessly, but the distance was too close and the road was too familiar, so Chen Chen accidentally wandered to the Soy Sauce Bottle Building.

Excluding the 13-story building that was put into use last year, Soy Sauce Bottle originally had five office buildings scattered across the country.

The building in front of Chen Chen is the headquarters, which is still in use after the new home was built. It is also the soy sauce bottle in everyone's conventional perception. Many senior executives and various artists can still be seen here.

There’s no way around it. This is my hometown. No matter if they are senior executives or veteran artists, everyone prefers to stay here.

Although the new building with more than ten floors is much better than this old building that can be counted on one hand, long-term habits can never be erased.

As for how many old artists still keep the soy sauce bottle, and how many old artists have left after breaking up, that is not something Chen Chen should worry about. He has never calculated this.

After wandering around for a while, Chen Chen wandered to the headquarters of SMART.

SMART has more office buildings. There are five or six things that can be properly called buildings. If office locations are also counted, there are more than a dozen. It is truly a large company.

Chen Chen suddenly felt a little emotional. For an entertainment company that has more than enough office space on the two floors of its C headquarters, why should it be able to hang out with these two people every day?

As for the new building that C headquarters is currently renovating, Chen Chen has no idea how he will make use of the huge space with two underground floors and six above-ground floors.

Why not rent out the three floors below as an office building to someone else? You'll definitely get a good price.

Think about it, when artists go to the fourth, fifth and sixth floors, they have to pass through your first, second and third floors. Isn't that more chance for contact? Even if you can't contact, it's always pleasing to see them, right? Wouldn't it make you more motivated to work? !

Wow, this is a good selling point. I can use it when I really want to put up advertisements.

Of course, this is just a joke now.

Letting ordinary people enter the core territory of the entertainment company would be laying mines for itself. Chen Chen would never do that, at least not until more buildings were built.

It doesn’t matter if there are more, and the core is not here. If you don’t use the other properties in your hands to do business, are you expecting to report a net loss?

Open a dozen or so internet-famous stores and lie on the ground every day to reap the profits from your fans, haha!

The sudden thought of the new building of C headquarters made Chen Chen happy for a short while, but soon the cold outside and the depression in his heart came back, making the smile on Chen Chen's face lose its color.

It's so annoying. Although both Soy Sauce Bottle and Shamao agreed with Chen Chen's idea of ​​pressurizing the starship, this matter is still very unpleasant.

The two families did not act for the sake of profit, but were forced to act by the "hysteria" displayed by Chen Chen, which caused extremely great damage to the personal relationships.

In simple terms, Chen Chen could no longer return to the "close" relationship he had with the two of them. From now on, others would have to be on guard against him and worry that he would go crazy at any time. Maybe others had viewed Chen Chen that way before, but that was not important. What was important was that Chen Chen's heart was broken and he felt very uncomfortable.

From the perspective of doing business in the industry, this trait is actually very beneficial.

After all, everyone is an enemy who needs to be wary of each other. If you create a crazy and difficult-to-deal-with personality for yourself, you will avoid a lot of trouble.

Similarly, all normal people will stay away from you.

The problem is that Chen Chen has always felt that he is a normal person. Even though his identity is special, at least his personality is like that of an ordinary person. He doesn't want to carry a label that he doesn't like.

Chen Chen would rather be a big boss who can make friends and is not so black-hearted. He wants to be successful while retaining enough human touch. This is the direction he has been working towards.

If it really becomes a ruthless development machine, what's the point of living? ! Just die!
So after finishing his work, Chen Chen felt like he had lost two good friends. He felt a little upset, so upset that he couldn't sleep tonight.

I definitely don't regret it, because regret is useless. Chen Chen never wastes time on useless things.

He went downstairs and walked around in the dead of night in such cold weather not to find excuses for regret, but just to relieve the unhappy emotions in his heart.

And just walking downstairs was enough to eliminate the emotions in my heart. The physical pressure brought by the sub-zero temperature made my brain unable to be sentimental and I was only thinking about how to keep warm.

"Hello, I'm here."

After hailing a taxi, Chen Chen suddenly had the idea of ​​taking a tour of the film set.

It’s been a long time since I saw this silly girl, Lee Ji-eun. Seeing her working hard on filming should make people feel a lot better.

……

After waiting for a while in the small room, the director told IU to come over after filming this segment.

"Why are you here so late at night?" Li Zhien was quite surprised to see Chen Chen on the set, but she was a little naughty, "Are you lonely and have nowhere to vent?"

With full makeup and costume, Lee Ji-eun looks very aggressive, and Chen Chen can't even see her as a fool.

"I simply lost sleep over some trivial matters, so I came to inspect the territory I conquered." Chen Chen said with a smile: "The TV series you guys are filming are also the territory I want to inspect."

"If it can make you lose sleep, it can't be a small matter." Li Zhien didn't let Chen Chen pass easily, and asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"

"I just suddenly felt that a lot of my friends disappeared, and I felt a little melancholy for a while." Chen Chen slowly took Li Zhien's hand, "This is a very normal thing, right?"

"You're so slow to realize it now. If we keep moving forward, we'll have to say goodbye to all kinds of people. You should have gotten used to it a long time ago." Li Zhien curled her lips. "But it looks like you've been quite free recently. In theory, you wouldn't be able to think about these things when you're busy. What's up? Is there nothing to do at C headquarters recently?"

"There are still things to do, but I've handed them over to others." Chen Chen gently pinched her soft knuckles, enjoying it very much. "With Shirley's help, there aren't many things I need to deal with. Most of the time I'm just a ruthless signing machine."

"Oh, by the way, Shirley said some time ago that she wanted to put Hara into her management team. What do you think as a friend of both of them?" Chen Chen asked casually.

"I heard Sulli talk about this a little bit, but" Li Zhien stared at Chen Chen, "My opinion is not important, the key is your opinion."
