"No, so they made such a big deal just to find a nanny for Integrate? Are they Chen Chen's illegitimate daughters?!"

"That's a bit too much. Headquarter C has actually added a subsidiary. This is not a joke."

"That's right, C Headquarters is not joking. So did you realize that I was joking?"

"It's up to you whether you want to open it or not. Who cares if you're joking or not? The Starship fans have already opened the champagne!"

"Sorry, we didn't want to open the champagne in advance, but we couldn't help it! That's C headquarters, the embodiment of the word 'future' in the Korean entertainment industry!"

"Besides, we got Integrate. Those who know know what they are worth."

"What do you mean you got the Integrate?! Does it have anything to do with you? You're just a babysitter!"

"What's wrong with a nanny? It's just a nanny, so what? The nanny's children can also get resources from the host family. Our own children will recover from their injuries and return to the front line soon!"

"You weren't even on the front line before you got hurt. How dare you say you can be on the front line now that you've broken your arms and legs? You're so shameless!"

"You're so jealous! Let me see which fan you are of that's making you so jealous of us!"

"..."

Some people were opening champagne while others remained silent, especially the Starship fans who had previously stood firmly against C headquarters.

It’s not that fans will turn against them, after all, their idol is still on Starship, but they will definitely feel sad for a while.

Another person who is also feeling upset is Hong Shengcheng of Cube Entertainment. He feels extremely disappointed right now.

They are all second-tier entertainment companies. Why is it that Starship can get the opportunity to operate Integrate, a top-tier fat piece of meat in the industry, but they themselves cannot?
No, it’s not the top fat meat, it’s the gold mine!
Integrate will definitely be able to attract resources from all walks of life. If they work hard to obtain these resources, it is not impossible for their own artists to get them!
If you don’t make any profit, you’re losing money, and now the loss is particularly huge!
Hong Shengcheng had dark circles under his eyes due to depression. He was already wondering if his usual attitude was a bit too high and that made Chen Chen unhappy.

In fact, he doesn't need to think so. Even if Chen Chen himself is responsible for the operation, he will not hand over Integrate to Cube Entertainment. That's for sure!

Apart from anything else, the lousy operation of Cube Entertainment has left a lot of bad records in the company's history. Why can Chen Chen trust them with his baby? !
Haha, I used to be busy complaining about the soy sauce bottle, but in fact, Cube Entertainment is even worse!

……

After finishing the starship issue, Chen Chen especially enjoyed staying with the girls from Integrate.

Anyway, I am a dangerous person during this period and cannot be with the people closest to me, so I might as well stay in the company and imitate a turtle for a while.

Moreover, Chen Chen knew that Integrate would definitely be affected because of him, so taking care of them more and teaching them some coping methods could be considered a form of compensation.

In addition, the girls who are in the practice room today are all very popular. Those with lower popularity have been pulled out by Chen Chen to receive special training and appear on the show, hoping to help narrow the gap.

After all, they haven't debuted yet, so it's particularly important to balance their popularity at this time.

"Oppa, people on the internet are saying you sold us out to Starship."

Choi Ye-na loves chatting, and she is the first to speak about various topics during breaks in practice.

"Judging from the results, most people would indeed come to this conclusion." Chen Chen replied casually. "Really? But it does seem a bit strange." Ning Ning asked curiously, "Why do they have to give Oppa benefits when it's clearly the Starship that's working for us?"

"You need qualifications to work. A lucrative job like operating Integrate is definitely a job that only people with connections can get." Chen Chen explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way. "We don't have any connections, so we have to have someone pay to work. If Starship pays more, then it's Starship's job."

"But what can we get from working for Starship?" Zhang Yuanying asked curiously, "Even if we really make money, we won't share the profits with them."

"How many resources can you consume?" Chen Chen stretched out his hands to pinch her cheeks and pulled them back and forth. "Many of these resources that you don't like, that are redundant, and that are not suitable for you but still come to you can be used by Starship's own artists."

"Moreover, compared to our C headquarters, the types of resources that the starship can digest are wider and richer. If we really let go and eat them, we may not be able to earn more than them."

"This is what they call "leaning under a big tree for shade."

"Our tree is big enough and has enough nutrients. We can't eat it all by ourselves. It won't be a problem to support another starship."

After pinching, Chen Chen couldn't help but patted her twice. The chubby little face of the fifteen-year-old Yuanying would bounce back when patted. It looked beautiful and felt very comfortable to touch.

"Can't understand."

Zhang Yuanying looks like a little piggy when she shakes her head.

"You don't have to understand." Chen Chen sighed directly, "These are all things I need to consider. All you have to consider is to work hard in practice, do your best on stage, and show your perfect side when facing the camera."

"How about it? Isn't it simple?" Chen Chen joked.

"It sounds like it's not difficult." Miyawaki Sakura nodded in agreement, "What Oppa said is what idols should do."

"Alas, you will have to work hard in the first two or three years after your debut." After hearing such sensible words, Chen Chen couldn't help but look at Xiao Yinghua, "You are the older sister, and you have experience that no one else has. You can take care of your younger sisters in life and idol career."

"Although I intend for Yuzhen to be the captain, she is still too young and needs some time to grow up."

Now that the starship is under his control, the barrier in Chen Chen's heart has disappeared, and now he can finally mention the original "starship person" without any pressure.

"It's what I should do, and I should repay Oppa for his trust in me. Oppa brought me from the Land of Sakura to South Korea and then to a new world, and used his status to help me debut." Miyawaki Sakura paused here, and said worriedly, "If I achieve some success in the future, people might say that Oppa made a mistake, which is not good."

"Then maybe you need to act more often, mention me more in front of the camera, say something grateful to me, deliberately talk about the past, etc., all of which are fine." Chen Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to do it. After I finish this Starship project, I will be silent for a long time. By then, no one may remember me, let alone let me take advantage of your fame."

"Silence?" Ning Ning's thoughts were strange. "Oppa, you don't want to do this anymore!"

"After all, I am the boss of a big company. It's really embarrassing to always be on the front line, you know!" Chen Chen couldn't help but knock her on the head. "From now on, it's time to compete on the quality of the projects and the artists under you! In other words, it's you artists, including Sulli and the others, who will have to go out to work."

"I see." Zhang Yuanying was not interested in these things at all. She responded pretentiously and quickly changed the subject, "Will we have junior brothers and sisters in the future? I don't want to be the youngest forever."

"It depends on your performance." Chen Chen replied: "If you perform exceptionally well, you may get it sooner. If you are not so outstanding, you may have to wait for a few years."
