On the morning of March 15th, Namoo Actors announced the early contract renewal with actor Lee Joon-gi.

According to various intelligence reports, Lee Joon-gi's contract renewal negotiations progressed by leaps and bounds after C Headquarters intervened. It can basically be seen that C Headquarters facilitated the renewal.

Chen Chen had no idea what extra effort Namoo Actors put into the process compared to the original plan, but he was in a good mood now and wanted to hum a few tunes from time to time.

There is no other reason, that is, Jin Xiangqi's news still has not appeared in the news.

Chen Chen was nervous when he didn't receive any news on the first day of terminating the contract with Namoo Actors, but when it's been a week and there's still no news, Chen Chen wanted to laugh.

For an actress of Jin Xiangqi's level, all the companies are staring at her like hyenas, wanting to take her into their den and enjoy her alone.

It was already strange that she didn't sign a contract with a new company three days after her contract expired, let alone such a long time like a week, so the current situation can only mean that Jin Xiangqi is stuck in finding her next home.

The one who is most happy about Jin Xiangqi's stuck in finding a new buyer is of course C Headquarters. Regardless of whether the problem is caused by the appearance of C Headquarters, at least C Headquarters has more time to pursue and the chances of getting the buyer have increased.

"The people from Stone Music are coming soon. How should we deal with it?"

Shirley started to send a synchronized message to Chen Chen.

"Just reply however you want. There shouldn't be any pressure chatting with Stone Music, right?" Chen Chen asked doubtfully.

"Doesn't this involve your new girl group?" Shirley joked, "If this doesn't go well, can you guarantee that you won't get angry?"

"It doesn't make sense that it can't be done well, so I have no reason to be angry." Chen Chen responded calmly, "C headquarters is such a big company, and it can't handle a member of a disbanded group after communicating with all parties in advance? Maybe there is something wrong with this world."

"Okay, I'll just go through the motions." Shirley stood up. "Cho Yuri will report to C headquarters around this afternoon. I think you have to receive her in person."

"That's what I thought, too." Chen Chen nodded and said, "I can't give him much time and I have to assign him the important task of carrying out the group in the early stages. I would feel guilty if I don't meet him in person and say a few good words to him."

"Then I'm leaving, bye!"

Shirley patted her clothes, took the documents and turned to leave.

"What the hell is walking!" Chen Chen complained in a bad mood, "Does walking from the office to the meeting room count as walking?!"

The contract was naturally signed by Stone Music visiting C headquarters. No matter who was taking advantage, if Sulli, the representative director, went to Stone Music for a visit, they would probably feel uneasy.

But not long after Shirley left, Chen Chen's phone rang.

"Why would President Hong call me at this time?" Chen Chen muttered, and answered the phone, "Well, what's wrong?"

"After the disbandment of Shorty King, Han Xiaoyuan's contract has returned to Cube Entertainment. Now Cube Entertainment has received a contact from Big Hit, hoping to get her from us." Hong Shengcheng put the problem forward, "How do you think we should deal with it?"

"In a few days they will change their name to HYBE. Those who are still calling themselves Big Hit should change their habits sooner rather than later." Chen Chen made a joke and then kicked the question back, "What does Boss Hong think? After all, they are artists of Cube Entertainment. Only Boss Hong can make this decision."

Han Xiaoyuan was actually ranked sixth in "PRODUCE 48" "before", but was demoted due to voting fraud, which is a pity.

However, Chen Chen had already grabbed several members of "PRODUCE 48" in advance, so Han Xiaoyuan made her debut successfully and spent those precious two and a half years as a member of the Shorty King.

On March 14, Shorty King officially announced its disbandment, and Han Xiaoyuan's contract returned to Cube Entertainment.

"I think it can be handed over to Hybe." Hong Seung-sung said with a smile: "Cube Entertainment doesn't have a good plan to arrange such a relatively mature artist. It's not good for the company or for her to stay in the company."

"Then send her over. There is no place for Han Xiaoyuan in Cube Entertainment right now." Chen Chen thought so too. "Hybe will most likely arrange her into the new girl group. This is a good thing for us. At least for the time being, we have someone who knows us well."

"Oh, by the way, do you have any other news?" Chen Chen asked, "For example, Hybe is extending an olive branch to the other members of the Dwarf King."

"No, but this kind of news can't be concealed. Once there is a move, the news will be exposed immediately." Hong Shengcheng joked: "Just like today, the move of C headquarters signing Cho Yuri was exposed by reporters, and the news of Hybe signing other people will not escape the reporters either."

"You said that the Shorty King disbanded yesterday, so isn't it a bad idea for C Headquarters to take down Cho Yuri today?" Chen Chen was a little worried, "Will the Shorty King's fans turn their sadness into anger and vent it on C Headquarters?"

"This is almost certain to happen." Hong Shengcheng affirmed: "Some fans are not calm enough. Some even blamed C headquarters for the fact that Shorty King failed to renew his contract. It's unreasonable."

"But that little noise won't affect C Headquarters, because from the Shorty King to C Headquarters is a step higher after all." Hong Seung-sung laughed, "As a fan, we can't stop her from running to a better place, hehe."

"That's an interesting statement indeed." Chen Chen also laughed, "But you're right, that little noise is not enough to cause any harm to C headquarters."

"That's it," Chen Chen urged, "Hurry up and deal with Han Xiaoyuan's matter, and try to let Hybe and C headquarters resist the attack together. I don't want to take the most fierce attack and then watch Hybe reap the benefits."

The first person to be beaten for doing something like this will definitely be the one to be beaten the hardest. If Hybe's news is exposed after C headquarters, it would make his life too easy.

If Hybe lives comfortably, Chen Chen will feel uncomfortable, after all, they are the most direct competitors.

……

On the afternoon of the 15th, a reporter revealed that singer Cho Yoo-ri did not return to Stone Music after the disbandment of Shorty King but signed with C Headquarters.

The Internet was very quiet, so quiet that Chen Chen found it a little outrageous.

"Shorty King's fans have been fully prepared for the disbandment and have long accepted the members going to different entertainment companies."

"And compared to Stone Music, C Headquarters is obviously a better destination, isn't it?"

"Besides, the reporter just reported the facts impartially without exaggerating or deliberately trying to stir up a topic, so the silence on the Internet is understandable."

"Most of them are words of respect and blessing. How can you get so agitated?" Shirley stuffed the contract documents into Chen Chen's hands. "Okay, stop staring at the Internet. The other girl will be at C headquarters in 20 minutes. You go and make the arrangements."

"Okay." Chen Chen tossed the documents in his hand twice and stood up. "It means I have to go to the archives to file this."

"It doesn't matter whether it's returned or not. It will be useless soon anyway." Shirley said casually.

The first thing Cho Yuri needs to do to debut as a member of C Headquarters' new girl group is to cancel this contract. So it really won't exist for too long.

"Let's go home. It's better for me to take a few more steps now than to leave problems for the future."

Chen Chen stepped out of the door.

She went to the archives room to hand in some documents, and then went to the bar downstairs to buy some drinks. Chen Chen was waiting for her in the small conference room.

"Tuk Tuk~"

"Mr. President, I'm here to report."

The door was not closed, so Chen Chen could see the person sitting there at a glance. Zhao Yuli knocked on the door politely twice and walked in directly. "Okay, sit down." Chen Chen handed her the drink he had given her, "Don't be nervous, welcome to join the C headquarters."

"It is my honor to join C Headquarters. I am very willing to join C Headquarters."

Jo Yoo-ri replied.

Chen Chen believed what he said was true. If Zhao Rouli hadn't nodded, the procedures between him and Stone Music would not have proceeded so quickly.

"Do you know why I want you to come to C headquarters?" Chen Chen asked casually.

"I know a little bit. I had some guesses when I was chatting with the company and Stone Music." Zhao Rouli suddenly became excited, her body trembling slightly, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only look at Chen Chen with expectant eyes.

"It's about the new girl group of C headquarters." Chen Chen didn't deliberately tease her appetite, and said, "The new girl group of C headquarters needs you to lead it as the lead singer and captain."

"..."

Zhao Rouli covered her mouth excitedly, her body was shaking and she couldn't speak at all.

He had just left the Shorty King when he was accepted into the new group of C headquarters. His career as an artist did not even have a single day of confusion, and his future is bright!
Is it luck or a dream? !
But none of that matters. What matters now is that we must stay calm and respond well to the president's expectations.

"I will definitely work hard!"

Zhao Rouli stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Chen, exactly ninety degrees.

"You don't have to be so polite." Chen Chen smiled, "It's not easy to be in the girl group of C headquarters. You will have a hard time in the future."

"Don't be afraid of hard work. People who are afraid of hard work can't become idols!" Cho Yoo-ri is very aware, "Besides, everyone is working hard, and I'm not the only one who has to work hard."

"Well said, let's talk about something more realistic." Chen Chen changed the subject, "Let's talk about your business contract, the specific requirements of C headquarters and what they will provide for you."

"If you have any requests or special ideas, it's best to tell them all at once now. I think you should be quite clear that telling me is not the same as telling the person in charge of the idol section."

"..."

The two chatted a lot, and Chen Chen discovered that this petite girl was actually a very capable artist, much better than he had imagined, and he felt like he had found a treasure.

Cho Yoo-ri was arranged to go to the person in charge of the idol section to follow the instructions, and the brief meeting ended there.

……

While the two were chatting, the matter between Cube Entertainment and Hybe regarding Han Xiaoyuan also came to a conclusion.

"Have you joined SOURCE MUSIC?" On the way back to the office, Chen Chen looked at the message sent by Hong Shengcheng thoughtfully, "It seems that things have not changed much. Hybe's girl group will still start from SOURCE MUSIC. I thought ADOR would appear earlier."

SOURCE MUSIC is LE SSERAFIM, ADOR is NewJeans, Chen Chen has always used such a simple and rough way to judge who the new Hybe girl group will be closer to.

However, ADOR was originally a label cut out from SOURCE MUSIC, and it is not possible to make a final decision on whether it is Chi. Chen Chen still has to wait a little longer.

"I want to inform you of something." Shirley saw Chen Chen return to the office and immediately threw a pile of information into his arms. "Read it and give me the list. You will interview in person tomorrow."

"what is this?"

Chen Chen flipped through two pages at random and found that he didn't recognize the people on the pages.

"Your real assistant." Shirley's expression was unfriendly, and her small white teeth were clenched tightly. "These are the people who have entered the final selection. Even if you die, you have to pick someone for me!"

"No, you can keep two!" Shirley suddenly changed her mind, "We're all going to train them anyway, so one or two won't make much difference!"

"No problem!" Chen Chen agreed decisively, "I will complete the task well. I can't let this farce continue!"

At this point in time, the assistant was hired purely to do the work, and Chen Chen didn't think there was any need to be on guard against him.

Pick two good-looking, smart, and trainable ones and get it over with quickly. Finding an assistant for Chen Chen will take up quite a bit of resources, and we can't keep wasting them like this.

In fact, the main reason is that Shirley, the representative director, has shown her ability to take over C headquarters. In the future, C headquarters will be handed over to her. With her around, it is impossible for an "outsider" like the new assistant to cause any trouble.

Without such worries, Chen Chen only needs to consider how to reduce his workload.

"Why did you agree so readily this time?" Shirley was full of curiosity. "What changed you?"

"It's because we now have enough so-called 'own people'." Chen Chen explained with a smile: "Before, you and I were the only ones among us. How could I dare to let someone in such a sensitive position like an assistant? Now Representative Cui can take charge on his own, and the two younger companies have ruthless people like Boss Hong and President Jin. A small assistant to the president can't cause any trouble."

"You've really considered everything." Shirley praised Chen Chen and made a request, "Then try to choose a younger assistant. After you've trained them, it'll be time for them to retire, so they'll be perfect for me to use."

"Sigh~"

Chen Chen wanted to curse for a moment, but when he thought about it, it seemed to be true.

If not for Shirley, who else can it be given to? Is Chen Chen going to take her away?
"I understand." Chen Chen nodded, holding the information and sitting back at his seat. "I'll finish the list before leaving get off work today."

If you only focus on the two characteristics of youth and intelligence, it is not difficult to find someone.

Being young means being young. Your date of birth is clearly stated there. All you need to do is make a comparison.

To determine whether someone is smart or not, first look at their academic qualifications. If someone cannot even understand knowledge, the purest and cleanest spiritual food, then forget about talking about whether he is smart or not. A little cleverness will always be insignificant in the face of the human wisdom accumulated in the world for thousands of years.

In fact, after becoming a time traveler, Chen Chen became more in awe of those smart people.

Because Chen Chen found that even though he had taken such a great advantage of time travel, he still could not achieve the same things and achievements as those people had done.

The time of talented people is more valuable, and the quality of their time is higher than yours. When one year of someone else's time is equivalent to ten years of yours, it is quite ridiculous to regard yourself as invincible by relying on the little advantage brought by time travel.

Like Chen Chen, at most he is now living a comfortable life in the Korean entertainment circle.

"Well why are you here?"

Chen Chen read some familiar names and hurried to look up more specific information to confirm.

Photos, experience, permanent address
"Oh, it's really you."
