No matter what happens, just shut up and wait and see what happens next. This was the consensus reached by Chen Chen and Jinshidai after discussing it.

There are many considerations, but the main one is for the growth of Integrate.

It is of course good for the company to step in to protect, but this tactic should never be used frequently, especially for an entertainment company like C Headquarters, which has never had any problems and has a very high credibility in the eyes of fans.

If the presence of entertainment companies is too strong, idols will really become commodities, with prices guided by the companies.

Moreover, by doing so, the company itself will give the impression that it is teaching fans how to chase stars, and its image among fans will become very unpleasant.

"Do you also want to let Integrate experience some storms on its own?" Pei Zhuxuan served Chen Chen the meal. "A group that is too successful may not be a good thing in a high-intensity and cruel battlefield like South Korea. After all, an artist's career has several stages."

"Yes." Chen Chen nodded and said, "C headquarters is currently the most popular in South Korea, so they can naturally get all-round protection. But what if something happens to the company or they can't get away temporarily? They must be able to solve the problem themselves. This is my usual style."

"You have to prove that you have the ability to solve the problem before I can prepare everything for you with confidence."

Before Chen Chen could speak, Bae Joo-hyun spoke first.

"This is really tiger-style education." Bae Joo Hyun rolled her eyes, "It's love, but it's overbearing and majestic."

"Hey, let's eat. This is just my personality." Chen Chen shyly pushed the bowl towards himself. "You can say I'm cautious."

"How cautious are you?"

Bae Joo-hyun served herself some rice and said something along the lines.

"The most direct manifestation is that the company can still operate without me, and you can still have a good future without me."

Chen Chen answered casually without giving it much thought.

"Why aren't you here?" Pei Zhuxuan raised her eyebrows sharply, "Where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere." Chen Chen pretended to be impatient. "I'm just saying that. Obviously, that's a healthier way to operate!"

Chen Chen really didn't plan to go anywhere on his own initiative, but he didn't have the final say in this world.

To be honest, Chen Chen might be more dangerous than the average person.

"I think you're just lazy."

Bae Joo-hyun didn't pursue the matter any further. She just muttered something and concentrated on eating her meal.

Chen Chen also took out his mobile phone at this time to see what flaws his colleagues had found for him.

First of all, there is the issue of bias, from the distribution of debut song parts to the stage positions, from the weight of the situations in various variety shows to Chen Chen's solo song "Good Days" for Ning Ning.
This taste can only be described as classic, the classic South Korean fan circle taste.

Originally Chen Chen thought that the food in China had already caught up with that in South Korea, but after he got involved, he found that there was still a gap at home, and the food in South Korea was still the best.

But these are just fans playing on their own, so it doesn’t matter as long as internal matters don’t expand to the outside.

Then came some classic rumor-mongering.

Integrate These girls were collected by Chen Chen from various companies and places. Strictly speaking, only Jiang Huiyuan was completely free when Chen Chen contacted her, so there are many "stories" to tell in this regard.

"I heard that the two trainees from Starship were exchanged by Chen Chen for a song."

"Really? I remember that Chen Chen was very fond of it after he got to know it. They are just two new trainees. It shouldn't be worth exchanging something as precious as a song for them, right?"

"What you said is wrong. I have a friend who is a trainee at Starship. My friend witnessed the whole thing that day! It was Zhang Yuanying who knocked Chen Chen unconscious with a rocket headbutt. There was blood all over the floor. The ambulance even came! Later, Chen Chen asked for accountability, so Starship sent them over to pay off the debt!"

"So Anyou is really a gift?"

"Your idol is the gift, I.!"

"..."

"Ningning was Chen Chen's schoolmate when he was in Huaxia. They went to the same school!"

"No way, the age difference is so big." "It doesn't affect studying in the same school. At most, Chen Chen will graduate when Ningning comes."

"But I remember that they are not from the same place."

"Even if we're not in the same place, it doesn't affect going to school together. At most, we can just take the bus."

"..."

It's obvious that this was done by the South Koreans. They really don't know how big China is.

However, the more dangerous topic is about Choi Ye Na.

"Choi Ye Na is Choi Sung Min's younger sister. Her brother was a member of a mixed-dance group that debuted ten years ago. When she debuted, her brother had already been working at C headquarters for a long time."

"So she got to the top through connections?"

"I am against it. Choi Sungmin wasn't doing very well as an artist back then, so how could he influence Chen Chen's decision?"

"Just put her on the trainee list. She's just a trainee, so we'll give her some face. But everyone would think that the trainee list is the debut list, so she got a chance to take advantage of it!"

"That's what I said."

"..."

Choi Ye Na joined C headquarters earlier than her brother, but it was actually because Choi Sung Min benefited from his sister.

However, it is common for celebrities in the entertainment industry to exaggerate their stories, and it is almost tacitly accepted that they mix in personal opinions, so this mistake is nothing.

This is just the initial version of various topics. As more and more "connected netizens" join in, the final result will definitely be similar to the rumor.

If we really want to investigate, some people will not be able to escape, but we definitely won’t investigate.

Not to mention that it is pointless to pursue this kind of thing, it is quite embarrassing for the company to end up like this because of such a small matter.

What's more, the fans alone have almost killed these rumors and prevented them from becoming a big deal.

Don’t underestimate fans, their powers are no less than those of some people in the circle.

In addition, Integrate is relatively young, and almost everything its members have done in this information society has been recorded, so they can prove their innocence by just digging through it.

Isn’t there a joke that the dark history of those born in the 2000s is all in high definition? Even if these girls are not born in the 2000s, they are very close to the year 2000, and they have left behind quite a lot of records.

Therefore, the rumor did not become a big deal and it was easily overcome.

"No, your company has changed?" Chen Chen put down his phone with a slightly depressed look, "Where are the water army? Where is the rhythm? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"What makes you say that the Internet trolls are from our SMART company?!" Pei Zhuxuan raised her head suddenly and said angrily, "Where is the reason? Where is the evidence?!"

"It's not been a day or two since SM Entertainment has been raising internet trolls, and suppressing other artists is not uncommon news." Chen Chen glanced at her, "Only a naive person like you would believe that SM Entertainment is innocent."

"No, I don't believe it." Pei Zhuxuan shook her head and smiled shyly, "I just wanted to argue with you just now, hehehe."

"But when did you know that SM Entertainment has so many internet trolls?" Bae Joo-hyun asked curiously.

"I've always known about this, but I didn't get any concrete evidence until not long after C headquarters was established." Chen Chen thought about it, "At that time, I wanted to raise my own water army, and the people I recruited had a record of having worked for the water army department of S.H.I.E. Company on their resumes."

"I see." Bae Joo Hyun nodded, "So C Headquarters also has its own navy?"

Chen Chen shrugged.

"Only a fool would not raise one."
