Just have a simple meeting.

First sprinkle a handful of melon seeds brought from home, put the iced drink on the table, and prepare wet tissues. Move the chairs and adjust the posture. The high-level meeting of Cube is about to begin!
Although it was a bit impolite to eat melon seeds while watching others in a meeting, he was Chen Chen after all, and he was used to being free and easy.

Just by sitting in the corner, Hong Shengcheng had to pay attention to the expressions of people here from time to time when he presided over the meeting, and other people were also somewhat restrained when speaking.

It would be fine if there were only people around, because everyone is an old hand and has already cultivated their thick skin to the point where it cannot be easily seen through.

However, the content of today's meeting is all related to Chen Chen, which is a bit troublesome.

The final decision to expel HyunA and Kim Hyojong, the setting of the next comeback schedule and promotional strategy for BTOB and CLC, all of these are related to Chen Chen.

"Mr. Chen Chen, what do you think about the return of the Cube Entertainment boy and girl group?"

Perhaps Hong Shengcheng was really annoyed by Chen Chen, so he asked Chen Chen to say a few words.

"Just set a random time. People outside will avoid you on their own."

Chen Chen touched his upper lip to his lower lip and immediately put on a big one.

"..."

Everyone was speechless, and what made them even more angry was that they had no way to refute it.

"Regarding publicity, can Tik Tok give us certain discounts?" Hong Seung-sung asked again.

"95% off. I have 5 points of shares so it's 95% off. If you want to get a better price." Chen Chen shrugged, "You know what I mean."

"..."

Everyone was speechless again.

If Chen Chen got more shares, it would mean that some of them would lose their shares in Cube Entertainment. How would they respond then?

"Just keep eating your melon seeds. No need to speak anymore."

Hong Shengcheng sighed helplessly and could only let it go.

……

After the meeting, Hong Shengcheng and Chen Chen returned to the office together.

"I haven't had such a smooth meeting in a long time. It actually made me feel like I was back in the rapid development period of Cube Entertainment. It's really rare." Hong Shengcheng poured water for Chen Chen. "A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Boss Chen is really scary."

"It's just a polite remark. Don't take it seriously." Chen Chen was very calm, so calm that the moment he ate melon seeds in the meeting just now seemed like an act. "They are afraid of me now because they don't know me well enough, and I will be in charge of the next two major comebacks. We must take this opportunity to win over all the shareholders, artists, and employees who are one level lower than us."

"It's easy to talk to the employees. They just need to show their extraordinary skills in these two comebacks." Hong Shengcheng continued, "It's even easier to talk to the artists. They will side with whichever side Boss Chen of C Headquarters stands. Producer Chen Chen is the only weathervane in the industry."

"There's no problem with the artists. I can't be modest even if I want to. But the employees can't relax." Chen Chen took a sip of tea. "There are only so many things that can and need to be done after returning. We have already explored all the means that should be explored over the years. It's not easy to win over the employees with this."

"What should I do?" Hong Shengcheng asked humbly.

"What should we do? Don't you know what the frontline employees are asking for?" Chen Chen's eyes widened. "Don't tell me you really don't know!"

"Of course I know, but it's hard to do." Hong Shengcheng scratched his head awkwardly, "Front-line employees just want to earn a salary to support their families, but when it comes to money, you can't do anything even if you're the boss. Raising the salary for nothing means less money for other people in the company, and they won't be happy about it."

"You used your own money to make up for it. Do I have to explain it so clearly?!" Chen Chen frowned. "You know that you have to win people's hearts now. You know that money can win people's hearts. What is there to shirk? Why do you pretend not to understand?!"

"How about..." Chen Chen put down the cup and pointed at himself, "I'll do it? Headquarters C is willing to spend some money." "That's not necessary! I can do it myself!"

Hong Shengcheng almost jumped up from his chair. If Chen Chen was allowed to use money to buy people's hearts, Cube Entertainment would be one step closer to changing its name.

"You know how?"

Chen Chen asked worriedly.

"Boss Chen, your words are a bit too hurtful." Hong Shengcheng said dissatisfiedly: "Just now I just couldn't bear to spend a lot of money. Since you are willing to spend it, you will spend it well. Although I am not as good as you, I am not that bad either."

"Haha, I'm just afraid that you will directly give employees a raise. Then they won't know who gave them the benefits." Chen Chen smiled embarrassedly.

"My initial plan is this," Hong Shengcheng said briefly, "I will pay for a reward office in my personal name. Employees who perform well in the monthly assessment can receive a decent red envelope. In addition, employees in charge of artists can also receive red envelopes after the artists achieve results."

"That's all for now. I'll add more details later if I find any."

"Where do you think this reward office should be set up?" asked Hong Shengcheng.

"It's set up in your office." Chen Chen pointed at the table. "It's a bit inappropriate for the person who took the red envelope from you in your office to stand in someone else's team."

"But if there really is such a person, please let me meet him." Chen Chen couldn't help but make a joke, "This face should be a good material for a bulletproof vest."

"Hahaha, that makes sense."

Hong Seung-seong laughed and agreed.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Chen Chen stood up and said goodbye, "If you need any help, just let me know and I'll be there."

"Then I won't see you off." Hong Shengcheng stood up and pretended, "I have a feeling that I'll call you over again soon."

……

The reason why Hong Shengcheng took the initiative to invite Chen Chen to the meeting at Cube Entertainment was because he wanted to take advantage of the situation. It was not because Chen Chen was really free and wanted to join in the fun.

"Well, I've finished helping people out, and I'll be right back."

On the way back to C headquarters, Chen Chen received a call from Shirley, saying that he had to come over to sign.

We've discussed the matter with Xu Xian enough, today is the time for the official signing.

Originally, Chen Chen wanted to let Shirley just sign it casually, but Shirley said that she was embarrassed to face her seniors, so the matter was dropped and Chen Chen had to do it himself.

"Sorry for being late." Chen Chen pushed the door open and entered the conference room, sitting down directly opposite Xu Xian, "We are signing here, right?"

Without waiting for the people around him to react, Chen Chen glanced at the document and signed his name casually.

"Welcome." Chen Chen took the initiative to extend his hand, "I hope we can get along happily in the next two years."

Xu Xian finished shaking hands and lowered her head slightly.

"I will, Mr. President."
