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

Chapter 378 Are you and Yoona very familiar with each other?
JYP Entertainment, a major player in the Korean entertainment industry, went public on June 6th.

Upon seeing the large headline, Chen Yan was startled and immediately began to carefully read the contents of the report.

"JYP, one of the three major entertainment companies in the Korean Peninsula, officially announced its listing on the 6th. President Park Jin-young said in a media interview that the company currently owns popular idol groups such as 2pm, 2am, and missA, and has excellent music producers like Chen Yanxi. He is full of confidence in the future of JYP."

"However, after JYP went public, instead of seeing its stock price soar, it was betrayed by another major shareholder, LOEN Entertainment."

"Loen Entertainment suddenly sold off its JYP shares at a significant low price just three days after JYP's IPO, causing JYP's stock price to fluctuate wildly and continue to decline."

"As of June 15, the day the report was published, JYP's stock price had fallen below 6000 won per share after the stock market opened, which is comparable to the price of a Starbucks Frappuccino."

The dream shattered the moment I read the last word of the report.

On the bed in the bedroom, Chen Yan slowly opened his eyes. Once he regained consciousness, he suddenly sat up, his eyes sparkling.

He quickly got out of bed, grabbed a notebook and pen from his desk, and while recalling the contents of his dream, he summarized and recorded the key information on the paper.

JYP went public on June 6th.

On June 9th, LOEN sold off his JYP shares.

On June 15, JYP's stock price fell below 6000 won per share.

After noting down these three key moments and practices, Chen Yan looked at the three lines of text and couldn't help but laugh.

It was like a timely gift; just yesterday morning he was thinking of finding out some information so that his family would pay more attention in the coming months.

Unexpectedly, a dream that night revealed all the crucial information to him.

That's great. Now we just have to wait for JYP to go public on June 6th. We'll just have to come up with a reason and tell them a general timeframe.

After sitting at his desk for a while and thinking it over, Chen Yan had a rough plan. He smiled, got up, left the bedroom, washed up, and went to work.

I spent the whole morning at my workstation finishing the arrangement of the song "Roar".

After lunch, Chen Yan asked Fang Can, the trainee that Lin Nayeon had introduced before, to help record a demo, and then sent the song directly to SM Entertainment.

Click send, and the email will show that it was sent successfully.

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief and stretched while sitting at his workstation.

I've finally finished one song. Now all I have left is recording the Apink song and writing the song for Girl's Day.

After stretching, Chen Yan picked up his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

"Hello, Manager Lin, I've finished making the demo for the song I wrote for EXO's follow-up album and sent it to them. Okay, thank you, Manager Lin."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan smiled slightly.

If something can yield results quickly, then of course it's better to get them as quickly as possible.

I put down my phone and glanced at the time displayed in the lower right corner of my computer screen.

It's almost time to leave work, but unfortunately he has to work overtime today.

I still need to record an OST for Lee Seung-gi later.

When it was time to leave work, Chen Yan said goodbye to Choi Minhyuk and the others, sat at his workstation for a while, then got up and walked to the elevator to the company cafeteria.

He was too lazy to go out to find a place to eat, so he just ate a meal in the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was noticeably less crowded in the evening than at lunchtime. At this time, the only people eating at the company were employees working overtime and company trainees.

After getting his food from the cafeteria window, Chen Yan had just turned around when he heard a familiar voice call out, "Oppa~"

Looking in the direction the sound came from, he saw Lim Nayeon flashing her two rabbit teeth and waving at him.

Chen Yan smiled and walked in that direction with his tray.

"Oppa, sit down quickly."

Lin Nayeon and the others moved around so that Chen Yan could sit in the empty seat next to Minatozaki Sana.

Having known Chen Yan for so long, Minatozaki Sana had long since lost her initial reserve. After he sat down, she gave him a warm and sweet smile and greeted him sweetly.

"oppa~"

Across from him, Chou Tzu-yu greeted Chen Yan after he sat down, saying, "Oppa~"

Ever since the girl met Chen Yan with Lin Na-yeon and the others, she has gradually become closer to this twin brother.

This older brother is a very nice person. He comes to see her from time to time and buys her some snacks and such. The two of them also chat on their phones often.

"Hello Tzuyu~"

The girl's unique Taiwanese accent made Chen Yan's smile widen.

Then he looked at Lim Nayeon and the others and greeted them.

He glanced at the group of people.

Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Tzuyu (who is from the same hometown), and Sana Minatozaki—five familiar faces.
Hmm? There's another new face.

When the girl sitting next to Minatozaki Sana saw Chen Yan's gaze linger on her face, a faint blush immediately rose on her fair cheeks, and she lowered her head slightly, clearly very reserved.

Fortunately, Sana Minatozaki, who was standing next to her, spoke up at the right time and introduced her: "Oppa, this is Mina. She is a trainee who just joined the company. She is Japanese, just like me and Momo. You can call her Mina."

After introducing Chen Yan, she looked at the girl next to her and introduced her in Japanese: "Mina, this is Chen Yan oppa, he is a very talented music producer in our company. You can call him oppa with us."

Upon hearing this, the girl named Jingnan looked up at Chen Yan with some curiosity.

Chen Yan greeted her with a smile: "Hello, Mina."

Hello.

The girl returned the greeting somewhat reservedly, and her voice was very soft. If Chen Yan hadn't listened carefully, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying.

“Oppa, Mina speaks like that, her voice is very soft.”

Seeing this, Sana Minatozaki, who was standing next to her, smiled and offered an explanation.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Chen Yan nodded, smiled kindly at Mina, and didn't try to find topics to talk about with her anymore. Instead, he chatted with Lim Nayeon and the others while eating.

"Oppa, why are you still at the company so late today?"

"I have to record an OST for Suzy's drama crew tonight, so I have to work overtime."

"Oh well."

The group quickly finished their meal while chatting, and then went into the elevator together.

The elevator doors opened on the trainees' floor, and Chen Yan said goodbye to the group.

"Don't practice too late. Go back to the dorm when it's almost time. Be careful on your way back."

"Okay~ Got it, goodbye oppa~"

The elevator doors closed slowly, then reopened after reaching the work floor.

After stepping out of the elevator, Chen Yan returned to his workstation, tidied up his things, and then turned and walked towards the reserved recording studio.

I entered the recording studio, placed my backpack on the sofa, and checked and adjusted the equipment.

After confirming that everything was fine, Chen Yan sat down in the chair in front of the recording console, scrolling through his phone while waiting for Lee Seung-gi to arrive.

About ten minutes later, the door to the recording studio was pushed open, and Lee Seung-gi and his manager walked in.

With a gentle smile on his face, he walked up to Chen Yan and gave a slight bow. "It's nice to see you again, PD-nim. I'll leave the recording tonight in your care."

Chen Yan, naturally, wouldn't refuse a smiling face, and replied with a smile, "Lee Seung-gi-ssi, you're too kind. You're a professional singer, I'm sure the recording tonight will go smoothly."

"Haha, PDnim, you flatter me."

Lee Seung-gi smiled and waved his hand, then took the coffee from his manager at the right moment: "PDnim, please have some coffee."

Chen Yan raised his hand to refuse, saying, "I won't drink it. I won't be able to sleep if I drink coffee tonight. Thank you for your kindness."

"Oh, I see. I didn't think that through. I'll be more careful next time."

Lee Seung-gi maintained his gentle smile and silently handed the coffee back to his manager.

After exchanging a few polite pleasantries, the two quickly got down to business.

"Lee Seung-gi, go inside and get ready. Okay, let's start recording."

"Ok."

As Lee Seung-gi stepped into the recording studio and put on his headphones, he looked at Chen Yan outside, who was bent over in front of the recording console, setting up the equipment. The smile on Lee Seung-gi's face faded a bit, and a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

But he quickly returned to normal, focusing on looking at the lyrics while practicing his singing.

ten minutes later.

“PDnim, I’m ready.”

"Okay, let's begin."

The recording continued intermittently until after 10 p.m., when the recording of the entire song was finally completed.

"Alright, Lee Seung-gi-ssi, you've worked hard."

"Okay, PDnim, thank you for your hard work."

Being polite, Lee Seung-gi took off his headphones and walked out of the recording studio.

He took the water his agent handed him, took a sip to moisten his dry throat, and glanced at Chen Yan's profile as he packed his things, his brows furrowing slightly.

For some reason, while recording the song just now, he felt that Chen Yan was targeting him in a subtle way, but if he had to say, he really wasn't.

At most, his standards are a little high. He would ask himself to redo even for minor flaws. Also, a few times when he was singing a high note, he would interrupt himself just as he was gathering his breath.

Although it didn't cause me to get a stitch, I did feel that near-stitch sensation a few times, which was still a bit uncomfortable.

At this moment, Chen Yan, who had finished packing up, turned around, looked at him, and smiled, "The recording is over, you can go home now, Lee Seung-gi."

Lee Seung-gi quickly gathered his thoughts and returned a smile: "Okay, let's go together, PDnim."

"it is good."

After leaving the recording studio, Chen Yan closed the door and turned to walk towards the elevator with Lee Seung-gi and the others.

Just as he took two steps, Lee Seung-gi suddenly spoke up, "PDnim is really popular lately. I see that PDnim's account has more than 8 followers, and the paid fan club has nearly 4 members."

Chen Yan smiled slightly: "I was just lucky."

"How can this be called luck? Luck can only be part of it. The main reason is that PDnim himself has enough talent and charm to make the company value him so much."

"It also got IU, Suzy, and Yoona to promote your work. I saw the trending topics online that night, and I was genuinely shocked."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan turned to look at Lee Seung-gi, whose face still held that gentle smile.

He blinked, then smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Lee Seung-gi."

Lee Seung-gi's smile widened further: "Just telling the truth, PDnim, no need to be polite."

"Ding"

The elevator arrived at the floor and the doors slowly opened.

The three entered the elevator. Chen Yan reached out and pressed the button for the basement level, but then Lee Seung-gi spoke up again:

Are PDnim and Yoona close?

He naturally saw the post that Yoona made that night.

But it was precisely because he saw it that he was so concerned about, and even a little jealous, the unprecedented closeness that Yoona showed to a man.

Especially with Chen Yan and Bae Suzy being so close in front of her, this jealousy intensified.

This made him think a little more.

Could it be that Yoona's sudden distancing from him recently was also because of this man?

So he ruined his own career twice?

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then his calm smile returned, and he replied with just one word: "Mm".

This is the only word in the answer; there is no need for further explanation.

Upon hearing this brief yet direct and affirmative answer, Lee Seung-gi's eyes narrowed slightly.

However, before he could speak again, Chen Yan suddenly turned to look at him, asking with some confusion:

"Are Lee Seung-gi and Yoona very close? I think I heard you call Yoona directly without using honorifics just now."

Lee Seung-gi's smile froze: "Yoona and I are indeed quite familiar with each other."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Chen Yan nodded as if he had just realized something.

But the next second, another voice, which sounded like a soft muttering, rang out.

"I haven't heard Yoona mention it."

Lee Seung-gi was truly stunned. After realizing what had happened, his hands, which were hanging at his sides, unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Ding"

The elevator doors opened upon reaching the underground parking garage.

Chen Yan turned to look at Lee Seung-gi and his manager, a harmless smile on his face.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Okay, walk slowly."

Lee Seung-gi replied with a forced smile.

Normally, he would have politely asked if I wanted a ride home in his nanny's car, but now he wasn't in the mood for that anymore.

Chen Yan smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

Looking at his back, Lee Seung-gi's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister glint in his eyes.

After a moment, he looked away and turned with his agent to walk in the other direction.

As Chen Yan walked towards his parking space, a cold smile crept onto his lips as he thought of Lee Seung-gi's earlier probing.

What's there to test? I'll just make it clear that Yoona and I are very close, much closer than you are.

As Chen Yan approached his parking space, a voice suddenly called out from the side: "Chen Yan."
