Since he had nothing to do anyway, after seeing Bae Joo-hyun off, Chen Chen actually went to watch the girls from Integrate filming their MV.

A dilapidated enclosed venue with a few exquisite props randomly placed in it. These are almost all the things needed for the "I AM" MV.

Of course, those staff who may die suddenly in the later stages of the treatment are not included.

Chen Chen arrived at the right time. Everyone was queuing up to reshoot various shots before the venue was demolished, so it wasn't too busy.

"Oppa Chen!"

When Jin Minyue saw Chen Chen, he immediately came over to greet him, wagging his tail.

"How many shots have you taken?" Chen Chen rubbed her head. "Did you encounter any problems?"

"We didn't encounter any problems, and the filming went very smoothly!" Kim Min-woon answered in detail, "Everyone was very serious because we didn't want to waste too much time practicing. And we have to shoot various materials during our debut process, so time is very precious."

"Are the staff members serious too?" Chen Chen asked another question.

"They are also very serious and seem to want to finish work early." Jin Minxiang replied.

"Of course." Chen Chen smiled. "I told them that there would be a bonus for finishing the filming early, so they naturally worked harder. Now that we know that they have improved efficiency without making things difficult for you, the bonus should be well spent."

"How much money has Oppa spent on us recently?"

A head popped up from behind. It turned out to be Zhang Yuanying who stood on tiptoe and put her head on Chen Chen's shoulder.

"No calculation." Chen Chen put his hand behind her back and hit her to let her move away, so that she would not get the powder on her clothes and have to touch up her makeup later. "This thing will be calculated by a special financial department in the end. Now I just need to spend the money."

"I feel like it's very, very expensive. The crew said that each of our clothes is more expensive than the ones in the MV." Zhang Yuanying asked curiously, "Have you bought all these beautiful clothes?"

"Of course you have to buy them. You still have to wear them for your music shows." Chen Chen spread his hands. "You can't wear expensive clothes when filming the MV and then wear fakes when promoting your music shows. Not only will everyone scold you, but I'll also feel like I'm being stingy."

"Oppa, what should we do if we can't pay it back in the end?"

Pessimistic idol Jin Dongtian came online in one second.

"You are not Loona, and C headquarters is not Blockberry Creative. It is unlikely that such a situation will occur." Chen Chen had never thought of that possibility, so he was very bold in writing a blank check. "If you encounter something and really can't pay it back, then I will tear up the bill. Oppa will support you. I will support you as long as you are willing to stay in the company."

Chen Chen didn't care, but the girls who came over later were so moved that they could see their eyes water, they got to enjoy the big cake promised by their boss so early.

"..."

After chatting with the girls for a while and explaining the details to the filming team, Chen Chen turned around and left.

He had originally planned to stay there, but unfortunately his phone kept vibrating in his pocket, and Chen Chen really couldn't ignore it.

……

"What's wrong? Is there something urgent that you called so many times?"

After Chen Chen went out, he quickly replied to Hong Shengcheng.

"It's a bit urgent, something that concerns the entire Cube Entertainment." Hong Shengcheng's answer shocked Chen Chen.

"Then I'll go over and talk?" Chen Chen waved to stop a car, "You are in the company now, right?!"

"Yes, yes, it would be great if you are willing to come over." Hong Shengcheng nodded repeatedly, "I'm in the office, making tea and waiting for you!" "..."

It is still a little distance to Cube Entertainment, but Chen Chen thought about it all the way and couldn’t figure out what the urgent matter of Cube Entertainment is now.

It is true that almost all entertainment companies in South Korea are eyeing Starship, and Cube Entertainment is no exception. However, neither Cube Entertainment nor iHQ behind it are qualified to participate!
It is enough that they are not served on the table. If they try to sit on the seats at the table, it will be tantamount to self-destruction. Hong Shengcheng must know this!

so.
"Have you talked to Golden Age?"

Hong Shengcheng served good tea and asked a question.

"No, now is not the time." Chen Chen shook his head, "I plan to have a serious chat again in a few days."

"Do you have anything to ask him?"

Seeing that Hong Shengcheng looked a little disappointed and a little relieved, Chen Chen asked tentatively.

"Yes, I want to know about the status of KakaoM through his mouth," Hong Seung-sung replied.

"Do you know KakaoM instead of Starship?"

Chen Chen frowned and thought for a while, and when he figured out something, his eyes suddenly widened.

"You're asking for your life!" Chen Chen lowered his voice, but everyone could hear the anger in his tone. "Even if KakaoM is a little hurt now, they have recovered their health by selling the starship. You can't take playM away from them again!"

Hong Seung-sung was able to bypass Starship and pay attention to KakaoM. Chen Chen could only think of one explanation: he wanted to take back playM. He couldn't think of any other explanation.

Mr. Chen can understand Mr. Hong's idea. After all, playM is his A cube, and it is too painful for KakaoM to take 70% of the shares.

"The opportunity is not small." Hong Shengcheng told his thoughts in detail, "Now is the best time for Cube Entertainment. The internal situation is stable, iHQ has retreated, and the company has accumulated a lot of capital."

"This is also the most chaotic time for KakaoM. Although we are recovering some health, after all, we cut off a giant as big as a starship. The wound will not heal that quickly."

"Besides, I don't plan to take it all back. My ideal situation is to be able to have a fifty-fifty situation."

"I don't want to take it back all at once, I just want to take the opportunity to do something." Hong Shengcheng looked at Chen Chen eagerly, waiting for his answer, "What do you think?"

"Don't worry about what I think. I was relieved after hearing that." Chen Chen did breathe a sigh of relief. "If you were really greedy and wanted to take back all of A cube, I would have planned to organize your ceremony. Fortunately, that's not the case."

"But it's really hard to judge that you want to be a troublemaker at this moment." Chen Chen smiled bitterly, "It's already chaotic enough, and you rushed in like a madman to add to the chaos."

"Just tell me if this is a good opportunity!" Hong Shengcheng was a little anxious, "I really feel like if I miss it, it will be gone!"

"It's a good opportunity to send yourself away. I don't mind if you want to seize it." Chen Chen snorted coldly, "I just said that I was going to organize your ceremony as your retirement ceremony!"

"If you insist on taking back A cube, I will think you are not fit to be the president of the company anymore!"

"Fortunately, you are not that greedy, so we can still sit here and talk peacefully."

"Don't even think about it!" Chen Chen's answer was also a warning. "The moment you provoke KakaoM, iHQ will pop up and backstab you. Provoking two opponents who are much stronger than you at the same time will only lead to your death!"
