Chapter 1134: Deserves a Theme Song

Chen Chen felt that he had performed very well, and even if he was given a chance to deal with it again, he didn't think he could do better.

But after I finished saying this, my heart was in turmoil and my head was dizzy.

The dual reactions from body and soul made Chen Chen give an answer without hesitation, but after giving the answer, his brain inevitably had to come into play and start considering the gains and losses.

No, Chen Chen felt that he should not consider gains and losses, and Bae Joo-hyun was never included in the calculation of gains and losses.

She shouldn't be there, couldn't be there.

Being unable to help calculating gains and losses is a bad habit that you cannot control. Just slap yourself twice and take a cold shower and the problem will be solved.

"I'm a little hungry. I'm going to take a shower. Can you order some takeout for me?"

Chen Chen did what he said, and also planned to get some delicious food from his girlfriend.

"Go ahead." Bae Joo Hyun agreed without hesitation, "I'll order something that's delivered quickly, maybe you can get it when you come out."

"Good."

Chen Chen smiled and nodded.

……

After rinsing his body with cold water several times, Chen Chen's brain, which was almost smoking from the high-speed operation, finally calmed down.

It's quite dangerous. This is the most uncaring thing Chen Chen has done recently.

But just calm down. Overthinking might ruin your relationship with Bae Joo-hyun, which is something Chen Chen absolutely does not want to see.

After taking a quick shower and soaking in warm water for a while, Chen Chen walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

"Come and eat." Bae Joo Hyun had already unpacked the takeaway and placed it on the table. "Alin Canteen recognized this as the owner's address and sent it over expedited. She's very considerate."

"You are the boss. Alin Canteen has recognized the wrong person." Chen Chen came over and sat down, randomly fiddling with the food with his chopsticks. "Sure enough, there are a lot of things added that were not ordered. The manager has made trouble for himself."

"Don't worry about it. I just want to please my boss." Pei Zhuxuan looked at the towel on Chen Chen's body, "Hurry up and eat a few bites, then change into pajamas quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Okay, I'll eat a couple of bites first. I was almost mad at you for eating grass tonight." Chen Chen looked up at the TV while eating and was a little surprised. "You haven't finished watching The Penthouse yet?"

"I didn't have much free time to watch TV when I was preparing for my comeback." Bae Joo Hyun said dissatisfiedly, "And is it a sin not to finish watching "The Penthouse"? Why are you so surprised?"

"Of course it's not a sin, I just hope you can watch it faster." Chen Chen said with a smile: "The second season will start airing in half a month. If you don't finish watching it now, you will probably be spoiled by various people around you."

"That's fine. Our comeback was over before the broadcast. Just take some time to watch TV all day." Bae Joo Hyun put her palm on her boyfriend's back and felt a chill. "Hurry up and change into pajamas. The temperature is going to drop."

"No hurry, the meal is a little hot, I'll change it later."

Chen Chen still refused.

"Speaking of which, why don't you try to get a role in The Penthouse Season 2 for fun?" Chen Chen thought again, "Just for fun, it can't even be considered an appearance."

"What can I play in this drama?" Pei Zhuxuan just thought it was ridiculous, "No matter how hard I try, I can't find a role that suits me, right?"

"Then don't worry about it. The production team will naturally worry about finding roles." Chen Chen didn't think it was a big deal. "Or you can just go in and play around in C's new drama. It won't affect anything."

"C headquarters is going to have a new drama?" Pei Zhuxuan said in surprise: "I haven't heard you say that!"

"You've been preparing to return, so you don't have time to listen to me. Besides, I just got the copyright of this comic recently, and I haven't even finished the script adaptation." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows. "It's a work adapted from a comic called "Women in the Drunkard City". It tells the story of three good friends drinking together. It suits you very well."

"Why do you think you are a good match for me?" Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips, "Am I an alcoholic in your eyes?"

"It has nothing to do with being an alcoholic. It's just that I was reminded of your cute look when you were tipsy." Chen Chen wiped his mouth and leaned back on the sofa, reaching out to hold his girlfriend in his arms again. "You talk more, your tone becomes more cute, and you send nice selfies to people. If this isn't cute, what is?"

"In the eyes of people who like you, you are naturally cute, but in the eyes of people who don't like you, you are hateful." Bae Joo-hyun replied.

"No, it will only be considered bad in the eyes of people who hate you." Chen Chen shook his girlfriend's body, "Anyone with normal human aesthetics and values ​​will think it's good."

"It seems quite interesting." Pei Zhuxuan finally showed some interest, "Is there a role suitable for me?"

"Check the back of the comic to see if there is any content. If there is, change it." Chen Chen scratched his chin. "If not, just ask the author to add it temporarily. It won't be a big problem."

"You are like a character from a comic book. This temporary job is not that difficult."

"The opposite is the frighteningly high income. After all, I will definitely not let other authors suffer a loss." A smile gradually appeared on Chen Chen's face. "If the design can satisfy me, the remuneration will definitely not be vague."

"That's great, the author will definitely be happy." Bae Joo Hyun was a little worried, "But you keep talking about compensation, are you financially healthy? You just bought a building and you have to spend the New Year with C headquarters, is it enough?"

"Fortunately, as long as I don't buy a second building, I will always be healthy." Chen Chen did a simple calculation himself, "It's just that I can't stop looking for a second building. If a suitable object appears, I will definitely take action decisively. I don't know if I will still be healthy by then."

Although there were still some bitcoins hidden outside, Chen Chen was not rich when he bought the coins, so even though he had tried his best at the time, the amount was still not large.

If calculated based on the current highest market price, you can at most buy half a building, and nothing more.

In other words, once the second suitable building appears, Chen Chen and C headquarters will be completely exhausted.

"Just keep in mind." Bae Joo Hyun was no longer worried when she heard him say that it was enough. "C headquarters is so big now, some of the usual little troubles won't hurt you."

"I actually hope someone can cause me trouble." Chen Chen snorted, "Given the current situation, even if Big Hit comes, I can beat them to a pulp!"

This is not an exaggeration. The resources and status of C headquarters are of super high quality. If Chen Chen has sufficient liquidity in his hands, it will be more than enough to win the big black.

If he thought too much, Chen Chen could beat up Soy Sauce Bottle and Stupid Hat Company at the same time. In a one-on-two situation, Chen Chen still had a 70% chance of having the upper hand with C Headquarters.

But, KakaoM can’t do that.

Not only is it too troublesome to fight it, but there is also no benefit. Both sides are simply wasting resources.

When KakaoM can't hold on any longer, it will ask for help from its father behind it. When C headquarters can't hold on any longer, Chen Chen will also ask his eldest brother for support, and they will consume each other even more.

This is why Chen Chen has become more restrained than before, even though C Headquarters has grown significantly. If C Headquarters provokes KakaoM again, it will not be as simple as a child snatching food from an adult's mouth, but a battle of life and death between competitors of similar strength. That's right, Starship is just a snack in the mouth of an adult. Without the actor department, Starship is of no concern to KakaoM.

To Chen Chen, the value of the starships that only have idols and singers is at least one level lower than that of Cube Entertainment, but Golden Era has filled the gap too easily.

CJ is in the same situation as KakaoM, but C headquarters has a good relationship with CJ and there is no direct conflict of interest, so the two sides cannot fight.

"Big Hit is now the entertainment company with the largest market value," Bae Joo-hyun reminded, "its value is only lower than KakaoM and CJ e&M."

Ever since Dahei went public and expanded explosively, the "Big Three" of Shamao, Soy Sauce Bottle, and Waiji have lost their meaning. Calling them the Big Three is just a habit that everyone has kept.

"I know." Chen Chen looked at his girlfriend gently, "But a high market value does not necessarily mean strong combat power. If you want to fight, combat power still matters."

"So that's why you deliberately made trouble to make Big Hit unhappy, right?!" Bae Joo Hyun suddenly realized something, "You just want to beat them up and find fault!"

"Because he's easiest to beat now." Chen Chen joked, "Dahei hasn't completely integrated all his resources yet. He's a bloated, puffy fat guy who's easy to bully. After a while, when he works hard to absorb nutrients and becomes a strong man, our C headquarters won't be able to beat Dahei."

"Nonsense, you're still here!" Pei Zhuxuan didn't believe a word of it, "As long as you're in C headquarters, no one can defeat C headquarters!"

"But it's embarrassing, baby." Chen Chen smiled bitterly, "I lost the company-level competition, and I have to stand in another dimension and use other things to get back my face. This seems to be more embarrassing than C headquarters directly admitting defeat."

When C headquarters lost, Chen Chen transformed himself into a top artist and came out to curse in the streets. From the outside, it seemed that he had saved face, but from the inside, it seemed that Chen Chen had completely lost his dignity!

"I'm just talking casually. I don't understand these things." Pei Zhuxuan looked at the time and said, "I'm going to bed. I have to be busy tomorrow and can't stay up too late."

……

Very good, ill.

Due to the repeated alternation between hot and cold, and the failure to keep warm in time after leaving the bathroom, Chen Chen successfully raised himself to a temperature close to that of a hen.

"That's amazing!" Shirley came to the hospital and gave Chen Chen a thumbs up, "You can give yourself a high fever in a home with such sufficient heating. Did you sneak out to the street naked in the middle of the night?!"

"South Koreans don't sleep late at night. If I streaked on the street, it would definitely be the headline of today's news. Do you think I'm the headline of today's news?" Chen Chen was angry and wanted to turn over, but he had to turn back because he pressed down on his hand that was receiving the IV. "If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave. The hospital is not a place for healthy people to come."

"About 'Shine Grocery Store'." Sulli came to ask questions, "The show has reached the stage of preparing for a comeback work. What are you going to do with this work?"

"With so many people from the guests to the production team, can't they even handle this little thing?" Chen Chen frowned instantly, "The operation team provided by Shine Grocery Store has no ideas either?! Are they just there to eat and do nothing?!"

Chen Chen almost got angry. So many people couldn't even come up with a song for a comeback. What level of loser would do such a thing!
"Everyone wants to hear your opinion." Shirley explained: "New programs, new ideas, new departments, new systems, everyone is unsure."

"I have no objection." Chen Chen closed his eyes, "I won't offer any opinions once the show starts."

"Okay, I'll convey your answer to everyone." Shirley nodded.

"Don't go!" Chen Chen stopped her. "How can you, as the representative director of the C headquarters, do such a job? Even though this is your first project, you still shouldn't take it so seriously!"

"You are not me. You don't need to do everything yourself like I did when I started from scratch."

"S Branch is the eldest daughter who left from C Branch. She has a lot of money. How can we let the boss do the work himself?!"

"Let Hela go." Chen Chen stared with a frightening look, "Or let someone of a lower rank go!"

"..."

"Okay, I get it." Shirley was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I did want to try to imitate you in the S Branch. Thank you for telling me not to do that."

"You need to learn how to enjoy life, idiot. If the resources acquired by C headquarters are not used by S branch, how can it still be called a parent company?" Chen Chen finally smiled, "You don't need to learn from me. You don't need to suffer that."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about the next thing." Shirley casually shook her hands to adjust her mentality. "When you have a fever, your body temperature rises and your anger also rises. It's scary."

"The next thing?" Chen Chen looked at her suspiciously, "What else?"

"The program team hopes to have a theme song that can be used permanently." Shirley pursed her lips and deliberately joked with Chen Chen, "Is it possible? Does it deserve it?"

"Okay, a show with a theme song will make people feel more intimate." Chen Chen nodded in agreement. "Anyway, I have to stay here tomorrow, so I'll think about how to deal with it."

"You wrote it yourself?! You wrote it yourself, right?!"

Shirley used a super exaggerated tone to try to make this matter true.

"You're dreaming. This program doesn't need such high standards." Chen Chen didn't fall for her trick. "Write a short paragraph and then ask other producers to complete it."

"alright."

Shirley was a little disappointed, but she also knew that the show was not worthy of Chen Chen's work.

"Then you should have a good rest. If you have any questions, just contact me directly." Shirley picked up her bag, blew a kiss and turned away. "Bye, mua~"

"Go back to work, and don't tell Zhu Xuan about my stay in the hospital." Chen Chen said expressionlessly, "I know you two are in close contact in private, but there's no need to make her worry about such a small matter, understand?"

"OK." Shirley turned around and made an OK gesture, then tapped her temple with her finger, "Let's check your brain while we're at it. We're in the hospital anyway, and everyone will be relieved if there's a good result."

Shirley was talking about Chen Chen's initial symptoms, which were the ones that caused him to have dizziness. Although Chen Chen had experienced this disease a long time ago, in her opinion, it was still a hidden danger that had not yet been eliminated.

After watching Shirley leave, Chen Chen looked down at his arm where he was receiving an IV.

"Is there anyone in South Korea who can make me sick?"

"If not, I should adjust my status to the healthier side."

After thinking for a while, Chen Chen sent a text message to Shirley.

"Ask Yuqi to come over."
