Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 212 Opportunity
The next morning, Chen Yan walked into the JYP building as usual.

While waiting for the elevator, I overheard several employees discussing Lee Ji-eun's trending topic last night, and I raised an eyebrow slightly.

He checked when he went out earlier, and although a night had passed, several hashtags related to Lee Ji-eun were still trending, just not as high up as they were last night.

There's no way around it, Lee Ji-eun is indeed very popular, and people are still following the gossip online. I guess I've indirectly jumped on her coattails.

Listening to the gossip of the employees next to him, Chen Yan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but smile.

I wonder how they would react if they knew that the other protagonist of last night's incident was standing right next to them.

It's better not to know, otherwise he'll be stared at and scrutinized by a group of people every time he enters the company.

When the elevator arrived, Chen Yan took it to the composer's floor, placed his crossbody bag at his workstation, and then took his water cup to the tea room to get a cup of water.

I had just sat down at my workstation when my phone beeped with a message notification.

It's Bae Suzy.

Bae Suzy: Oppa was trending on Weibo last night with IU unnie! [Teasing smile]

Chen Yan frowned in confusion, then relaxed: Did you ask Zhi En?
Bae Suzy: Of course, I had to check out this juicy gossip. It's just a pity that I was too tired after my schedule yesterday and fell asleep as soon as I got back to the dorm, so I didn't get to see it right away.

Tsk, it seems that being a gossipmonger is indeed a human instinct.

Chen Yan smiled as he read the message: "Don't tell anyone at the company about this. I don't want to be stared at at work from now on."

Bae Suzy: Hehe, oppa, don't you want to experience what it's like to be an entertainer?

Chen Yan replied without hesitation: No.

Bae Suzy: Hahahaha, don't worry, oppa, I won't tell anyone, not even my teammates.

teammate?

He couldn't help but recall what Choi Minhyuk had told him about the internal discord within the miss A team, but the thought only flashed through his mind and he didn't dwell on it.

He quickly typed a reply: Okay, thank you.

I put down my phone for a moment, turned on my computer, and another message popped up in the chat box.

Bae Suzy: How does it feel to be trending on gossip websites, oppa?

The undisguised teasing made Chen Yan grin and reply: Not good.

Although last night's accident did not have any negative impact on him or Lee Ji-eun, he, as a composer and teacher, even gained some popularity among Lee Ji-eun's fans and the general public as a result.

But he does have girlfriends, two of them.

It's best to avoid rumors about dating other girls, otherwise, you never know when trouble might break out in your own backyard.

After chatting with Bae Suzy for a few more minutes, Chen Yan ended the conversation by saying he had to get back to work.

Chen Yan opened the music production software on his computer and continued to work on the song he was going to write for 2AM's Korean album.

They were busy until noon before getting up and having lunch with Choi Minhyuk and the others at the company cafeteria.

After resting until the afternoon work hours, Chen Yan once again immersed himself in composing the music.

Just a short while after they started working, one of Chief Kim's employees came to inform them:
"Chen Yan, the president wants you to go to his office."

"Oh well."

Chen Yan responded, stopped what he was doing, and got up to go to Park Jin-young's office.

He arrived at Park Jin-young's office with practiced ease and knocked on the door.

"Enter"

"senior"

"Xiao Yan is here. Come, have a seat."

Park Jin-young smiled and gestured for Chen Yan to sit down opposite him.

After Chen Yan sat down, he looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly asked, "Xiao Yan, have you been teaching IU composition lately?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Yan's face, as if he hadn't expected Park Jin-young to know about this. Seeing his surprise, Park Jin-young smiled and waved his hand: "I just happened to see IU trending on social media, and I also know that you composed the music for 'Peach'."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips. "You read entertainment gossip too? Is the president of an entertainment company that free?"

"Are Xiaoyan and IU on good terms?"

"Yes, because I teach her composition, and we're close in age, we're quite close."

"Oh, thanks to this trending topic, Xiaoyan, you've received a lot of attention, which will be quite beneficial for your future career."

Don't underestimate the influence a music producer can have after becoming famous. When their influence reaches a certain level, the public may support the songs they create simply because of their name.

Chen Yan naturally understood this principle and respectfully agreed.

Park Jin-young looked at the young man before him with a smile in his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing across his face, before speaking:

“2AM’s Japanese album will start recording and production at the end of the month, and I will be the executive producer. Xiaoyan, are you interested in participating?”

Ok?
A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Yan's face. Was Park Jin-young planning to take him along?

He quickly nodded and replied, "If possible, I would certainly be willing to participate, but..."

Chen Yan then voiced his concerns: "But there aren't any songs by me on 2AM's Japanese album. Would it be inappropriate for me to suddenly get involved?"

"It's ok."

Park Jin-young waved his hand: "Although your songs are not included in the album, Xiao Yan, you already have experience in music production, and involving you is mainly for learning purposes."

Now that things had come to this point, it would be inappropriate for Chen Yan to have any further concerns. He sincerely thanked Park Jin-young, saying, "Thank you, senior."

Park Jin-young smiled, chatted with Chen Yan for a while longer, and then ended the conversation.

Chen Yan walked out of the office and gently closed the door behind him.

He turned around and walked towards the elevator, his face beaming with joy.

This is a great opportunity.

In the office, after Chen Yan left, Park Jin-young opened the report on the table that he had just closed and looked at it again.

That was the revenue report he had just asked the company's finance department to send over.

Looking at the report, Park Jin-young's brows furrowed slightly.

The company's revenue situation is not very optimistic.

Then he looked up at the computer.

The computer screen displays a table showing the company's equity structure.

He is the largest shareholder, while the second largest shareholder is LOEN, which holds a 25% stake.

They're not far from becoming his largest shareholder.

Thinking about his IPO plans, Park Jin-young tapped his fingers lightly on the table, staring intently at the computer screen.

JYP really needs something new to break the current situation.

This new thing doesn't have to be super strong; it just needs to have enough potential to generate public anticipation for JYP.

If you tell a good story, the public will naturally buy it.

Perhaps this young man, Chen Yan, can do it.

Thinking of this, many thoughts involuntarily surfaced in Park Jin-young's mind.

IU's situation is just the beginning. We'll nurture her carefully first, and whether she succeeds or not will depend on Girls' Generation's comeback in January next year.

On the other side, Chen Yan had just returned to his workstation and sat down when his phone beeped with a message notification.

I took it out and looked at it.

Lim Yoona: Are you free tomorrow night? I'd like to invite you to dinner.
