Park Jin-young's reply seemed to be following Chen Chen. He received the text message as soon as he sat down at his seat after returning to C headquarters.

"How is it?" Shirley saw that Chen Chen's expression was not very good, so she asked, "Did you convince that uncle?"

"No." Chen Chen handed her the phone and took a look at it. "They declined."

"Oh, the result is not surprising. It is a bit unrealistic to think that someone of this level can participate in this kind of event. Even if you are in the bureau, it is not very likely to do so." Shirley simply consoled him, "What are you going to do now? Will you ask someone else to participate?"

"I'm not participating." Chen Chen looked up at Shirley with a helpless look in his eyes. "I don't know many people of this level, and even fewer people are shameless enough to invite them to participate. If Brother Zhenying doesn't participate, then it basically means that there will be no show for me to sing."

"What about the boss of Paradox? Aren't you familiar with him?" Shirley felt a little sorry. "You also want to come and play, right? Why don't you try harder and use it as a useful promotional tool for our event?"

"Forget it, forget it. I don't have time. Instead of spending so much energy on having fun, I might as well use it to do something useful." Chen Chen put down his phone with a smile. "It's not like C headquarters really doesn't need me to take care of anything. It's far from the time for me to enjoy myself."

"Business?" Shirley was stunned when she heard this. "What business do you have to do? How come I don't know?"

It's not surprising that President Chen has something important to do, but what's strange is that she doesn't know about it. This is something Shirley can't accept.

"I just remembered something." Chen Chen slapped her on the butt. "Go call President Jin and ask him to come over. I want to ask his opinion on something."

……

"You're looking for me?"

Jin Shidai came quickly, and the first thing he did when he appeared was to glance at Shirley, as if hoping to get some information from her.

"Well, I've heard some inside information. I'm a little hesitant about whether to use it to do something." Chen Chen asked Jin Shidai to sit down. "Please sit down first. This conversation may take a long time."

After Shirley brought the water, the conversation between the three of them officially began.

"Do you know X1?"

Chen Chen's opening move is a problem.

"I know that the latest boy band from Produce encountered the Produce fraud incident right after it was formed, and it died at birth."

Shirley took the lead and presented the information.

"I know that, too." Jin Shidai followed slowly, "But I've only heard the name and some things, I don't have a deep understanding."

X1 was formed on the show in July. At that time, they really couldn't spare the energy to care about the outside world because they had a lot of things to do.

"If you all know, then I don't need to waste my words." Chen Chen nodded in satisfaction, and then his expression suddenly became serious, "Reliable news, X1 will disband at the beginning of next year, and the remaining life span is less than two months."

"Who is the source of the information?"

Jin Shidai also became serious, and if he wasn't wearing glasses he would have pushed it twice.

In addition to his serious expression, there was also a look of deep shock on Jin Shidai's face.

"M-net TV station." Chen Chen replied, "You all know the relationship between me, CJ and M-net, so it's not surprising to hear this kind of news." "How will X1 end?" Jin Shidai asked eagerly after hearing this, "Terminate the contract with the operating company and disband, or just disband?"

"They just disbanded, but the fact that they revealed this information shows that there is a possibility of resolution." Chen Chen said the news and added a little of his own speculation, "They obviously want to sell the contract to make back their investment, otherwise all the resources they spent before will be lost."

"There's more." Chen Chen looked at Jin Shidai in confusion. "You became nervous for no reason when I started talking. Do you have something else?"

"Yes, I can also see that you are nervous, President Jin."

Shirley spoke up and cooperated with Chen Chen to put pressure on Golden Era.

"I've been discovered." Jin Shidai smiled awkwardly, then came clean, "Because it's really hard for me not to be nervous. Starship Entertainment is the party involved in this matter!"

"..."

Seeing that the two were a little unresponsive for a moment, Jin Shidai spoke again.

"Two members of X1 are trainees of Starship."

"Then you said at the beginning that you didn't care at all, so you are spreading lies!" Chen Chen reacted fiercely, "Ahh~ It's really annoying to deal with people like you!"

"You can't blame me for this. I thought you knew something that you could find out by just looking up the X1 members' information." Jin Shidai smiled and spread his hands. "Forget it, blame me. I should have explained it earlier."

"Since there are members of the Starship inside, things will be easier to handle." Chen Chen directly assigned tasks to Golden Era, "Go back and contact your two members, have a good talk with them, and get information to determine whether there are people in X1 who are worthy of C headquarters to keep."

"Probably not." Jin Shidai said without hesitation: "If the level is raised to the level of C headquarters, I can almost make a conclusion now."

"Tsk, I find it hard to respond to what you said." Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "I called you over and talked about this topic, which made it very clear. You just said directly that there is no one I need. Aren't you deliberately trying to upset me?"

"I have already selected suitable roles from the contestants of the talent show. If this still doesn't work, then I may have to look for someone else's debut boy group. Is this appropriate?"

"Tell me, is this appropriate?" Chen Chen glanced at Jin Shidai, "This is not the way to do things!"

"Although I don't know why you suddenly want to form a boy band, these people from X1 are really not suitable." Jin Shidai was not pressured and spoke slowly about his opinion, "Let's not talk about whether the specifications and quality are good enough for C headquarters, just the defect of having black spots makes it unsuitable."

“No matter who makes a new debut, there will be a flaw like being a ticket holder back then, and the C headquarters, which can be said to be perfect at the moment, will also be stuck with this flaw.”

"It wouldn't matter if the company never made mistakes, but I think," Jin Shidai looked at Chen Chen quietly, "there is no entertainment company that never makes mistakes, right?"

"Alright." Chen Chen admitted that he was completely convinced, and announced loudly, "C headquarters boy group project, sealed!"

It wasn't something he particularly wanted to do, but Chen Chen thought that the epidemic was about to come, and if he could find suitable trainees at this time, he could just lock them up and practice well, so it wouldn't be a waste of time.

The Produce series product X1 was about to disband, which was a perfect opportunity for Chen Chen to "purchase goods", so he was tempted.

Now, after calling Jin Shidai over and chatting with him for a few words, my excitement immediately disappeared and was in vain.
