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

Chapter 429 Legs, legs, legs, all legs! (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month!)
The following morning, inside JYP Entertainment.

Sunlight streamed through the windows of the composer's office floor, illuminating the quiet interior and the faces of those staring at their computer screens.

Looking at the music production software interface on the screen, some of them frowned, some pondered, and some suddenly relaxed their brows and started making movements.

Unlike the various expressions of others, Chen Yan looked at his computer screen with a calm smile on his face.

On the computer screen, a YouTube dance blogger is swaying her curvaceous body, and her dance moves are quite sexy.

This was the task Chen Yan had assigned himself that morning: to continue watching videos for inspiration and accumulating materials.

To reiterate, this is not an excuse for him to slack off at work, but rather something that has been proven effective through facts.

As Chen Yan watched the dance blogger on the screen lift her leg, revealing her slender, fair legs under her slit skirt, another image suddenly popped into his mind, and he chuckled softly.

Yesterday afternoon, after recording the remaining part of the song for Girl's Day at Dream Tea Entertainment, he chatted with CEO Lee Jong-suk in the office for a while.

The main point is that Girl's Day has entered its comeback promotion period, and they hope Chen Yan can help with some promotion. To put it bluntly, they hope to leverage his popularity.

Chen Yan naturally had no problem with this.

This was originally a mutually beneficial arrangement; Girl's Day's comeback was a great success, and he earned a lot of money as well.

After discussing the promotion, Lee Jong-suk expressed his gratitude to Chen Yan, specifically mentioning his suggestions on the song's choreography, which surprised him.

Lee Jong-suk explained with a smile, "Girl's Day's manager told me the day before yesterday that PD Chen suggested adding some leg movements to the dance. I then spoke with the choreographer about it, and the choreographer agreed with PD Chen's suggestion. I didn't expect PD Chen to have such insights into dance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan immediately understood. He hadn't expected that his casual remark would be taken seriously and actually adopted by the choreographer.

Lee Jong-suk simply smiled in response to his praise of Lee's insightful views on dance.

He didn't get any insights into dance from that; he just watched too many sexy dance bloggers these past few days, and when he saw Kim Ah-young's legs, he had a sudden inspiration.

Besides, when men watch dancing, they mainly look at the chest, waist, hips, and legs.

Rather than saying he had insights into dance, it would be more accurate to say he had self-awareness.

Later, Lee Jong-suk invited Chen Yan to the practice room to see the dance choreographed by the choreographer with his suggestions.

Chen Yan didn't refuse and went with him to the practice room to take a look.

After watching it, I imagined Kim Ah-young's legs dancing this dance in my mind.

Well, I can only say it's really top-notch.

This also made him more optimistic about Girl's Day's comeback.

Bringing his thoughts back, Chen Yan's gaze returned to the dance blogger's movements on the screen.

Watching beautiful women dance really does have its benefits; it even helps me gain insights into the dance itself.

The dance is over. Gently move the mouse to the next one and continue watching.

A moment later, Chen Yan was startled when someone tapped his shoulder a few times. He immediately turned his head.

Lee Seonmi stood behind him, looking at him with a smile, but upon closer inspection, that smile subtly revealed a strange quality.

Chen Yan quickly took off his headphones and looked at Li Xuanmei, who had suddenly appeared there, with some surprise.

“Xuanmei-xi.”

“PDnim, are you free now? I have some things I'd like to discuss with you regarding my solo album.”

As Li Xuanmei spoke, she glanced furtively at the computer screen beside her, her strange expression deepening.

If you have time to watch beautiful women dance on YouTube, you can't be too busy, right?

Chen Yan noticed the girl's gaze, but he didn't show any embarrassment. This was a legitimate work requirement for him, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

He stood up with a natural smile on his face and nodded: "If you have time, let's go to the rest area over there to chat."

"Ok."

The two walked side by side toward the rest area on the other side. As they walked, Chen Yan subconsciously glanced at Li Xuanmei next to him.

The girl was dressed as usual today in a simple white T-shirt and light blue denim shorts.

Her long, fair, and shapely legs were displayed generously, alternating with the girl's steps. The indoor sunlight fell on her legs, making them seem to shimmer with light as she walked, exuding a unique charm.

Unlike the two times Chen Yan had seen Lee Sunmi before, today Lee Sunmi was wearing a pair of flat wooden sandals, generously showing off her beautiful feet.

Lee Sunmi's toes were long and fair. Her big toe and second toe gripped the sandal strap tightly. On her fair feet, the veins were visible and invisible with each step she took.

Most strikingly, all ten of the girl's toes were painted with bright red nail polish, which blended with the indoor sunlight as she walked, adding to her glamour and allure.

After admiring it for two seconds, Chen Yan looked away.

My first thought was: letting Lee Sunmi go for a sexy style might really be the right choice.

My second thought is: Have I been seeing legs around me a lot more often these past few days?

First, I was looking at the legs of a dance blogger on YouTube, then I thought about Kim Ah-young's legs, and finally Lee Sun-mi's legs appeared in my mind.

Tsk, how come all we do in this class is look at legs all day long?

It's not okay to go on like this.

Chen Yan reflected on himself for a moment and finally made a decision.

He's going to quit drinking starting today!
The two walked to a small round table in the rest area and sat down facing each other.

Looking at that fair and pretty face, which possessed both innocence and a touch of allure, Chen Yan pointed to the vending machine next to him and said with a smile:

"Anything to drink?"

Lee Sunmi waved her hand: "No need, thank you PDnim."

Chen Yan nodded, and without further pleasantries, went straight to the point: "What does Xuanmei want to talk to me about?"

Across from her, Lee Sunmi pursed her lips upon hearing this, her fair fingers gently stirring the food under the table.

“PDnim, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll take PDnim’s suggestion and try a sexy style solo.”

To be honest, this decision wasn't easy to make. After all, the "sexy" style is just a nice way of putting it. Once you go down that path, you're bound to face a lot of strange looks and comments.

It's not that no one in the industry goes for this style; there's a very successful example: her former teammate, Kim Hyun-ah.

Last year, the other party became incredibly popular with their sexy song "Trouble Maker".

But although she succeeded, the public's perception of her changed. And that was how she appeared after success; if she hadn't succeeded, she could imagine what kind of public opinion she would have received.
Selling meat didn't even make a splash.

Lee Sunmi is only 21 years old this year. Although she had a successful debut with Wonder Girls, it was just a fleeting moment like a shooting star.

On the contrary, her failed experience in the United States left her with considerable psychological trauma, which is why she chose to temporarily withdraw from the entertainment industry to complete her studies.

I'm coming back now because I still have ambition and longing for that stage, and I want to return to it.

She also understands that one cannot have everything; one must always make choices.

Especially for an artist like her who doesn't have much popularity, the options available are very limited, or even nonexistent.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanmei suddenly raised her eyes and looked seriously at the man sitting opposite her.

But the PD Chen in front of me is a little different; he showed me full respect from the very beginning.

Whether it's the way he looks at you when you meet him, or his decision about his solo style, he respects himself very much.

It was precisely because of this respect that she dispelled her last remaining concerns and decided to follow the other party's advice.

Across from him, Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand. And please rest assured, Xuan Mei, it's definitely not that kind of frivolous style."

He also knew what the outside world's evaluation would be like if he adopted this style.

So he only gave the girl a style suggestion that he felt best suited her, and ultimately the choice was left to Lee Sunmi herself.

If you agree, then we'll plan the solo album according to this style; if you disagree, then we'll change to a different style.

But no matter which choice he makes, he will inevitably have to bear the corresponding price. He is not a saint and will not be overflowing with compassion.

The only thing Chen Yan could guarantee was that the girls wouldn't take a vulgar or sexy route, and the dance wouldn't be the kind that was full of suggestive connotations.

At least in these respects, as the producer of the entire album, he still has the authority to make decisions. Park Jin-young also said that he was given full responsibility for Lee Sunmi's solo album.

"Thank you, PDnim."

Lee Seon-mi sincerely thanked her.

Chen Yan smiled and waved his hand: "There's nothing to thank me for. This is what I should do. Since you've chosen to trust me, I naturally have to give you full protection."

Upon hearing this, Lee Sunmi smiled from the bottom of her heart.

This PD Chen is really sincere and direct in his dealings with people, which is probably why she feels comfortable with him and chooses to trust him.

“Now that Sunmi has made her decision, I will plan your solo album according to this style and start preparing the song creation.”

"Yes, thank you for your help, PDnim."

Li Xuanmei smiled and agreed, but suddenly remembered the scene she had seen when she went to find Chen Yan earlier.

She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "PDnim, don't you have any songwriting work lately?"

"Not yet, they are all songs that have been written and are waiting to be released."

"Oh, no wonder you have time to watch beautiful women dance."

Nodding, Lee Sunmi lowered her eyes slightly and murmured something unconsciously.

She paused abruptly after speaking, looked up, and saw Chen Yan looking at her with a half-smile.

The girl panicked and quickly waved her hands, "I'm so sorry, PDnim, I didn't mean anything by it, it's just..."

"No need to apologize, what you said is indeed true, and I did only look at it when I had time."

Chen Yan raised his hand to interrupt her: "But I watched it to find inspiration and accumulate material. After all, even though I didn't know what Xuanmei's decision was before, I still had to make the corresponding preparations."

Lee Sunmi blinked, trying to understand what seemed like a bit of nonsense.

So PDnim watches beautiful women dance at work because of her?

As for why one seeks inspiration in this way...
I've heard that some top creators have their own unique creative quirks, and perhaps this is Chen PDnim's quirk.

"Oh, I see, PDnim."

The girl nodded as if she understood.

Across from him, seeing Lee Sunmi looking completely fooled, Chen Yan almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The two sat and chatted for a while, exchanged contact information, and then got up and went back.

"Then I'll head back to PDnim now. If there's anything I can do to help you later, please let me know, and I'll do my best to cooperate."

As they reached the elevator, Li Xuanmei smiled and said goodbye to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, goodbye."

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Chen Yan turned to walk back to his workstation, but then suddenly remembered something, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

I took out my phone, opened Kakao, tapped the profile picture I had just added, and sent a message.

"Adu"

Inside the elevator, Lee Seonmi, who was watching the elevator descend, suddenly heard a message notification tone.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Chen Yan. She quickly unlocked her phone to read the message.

Chen PDnim: Sunmi-ssi, you don't want your solo album to be of poor quality, do you? If you don't, then don't tell anyone about me watching beautiful women dance at work.

"!!!"

The girl's eyes widened instantly.

Here, indulging his sudden, wicked whim, he sent Lee Sunmi a classic line from a recent Japanese movie he had watched.

Chen Yan smiled, put away his phone, and went back to his workstation. He stopped browsing YouTube and started brainstorming ideas for Lee Sunmi's solo album.

Before I knew it, it was time to leave work.

Chen Yan quickly snapped out of his thoughts, got up, and walked towards the elevator with Cui Minhe and the others.

Arriving at the underground parking garage, I opened the BMW door, got in, drove out of the garage, and headed towards Cheongdam-dong.

What he didn't notice was that after he drove out of the underground parking garage, at a corner, a man stared at his car for a few seconds, then looked down at the photo of the white BMW with the license plate number clearly visible on his phone screen.

Then he put away his phone, looked again in the direction Chen Yan had left, and finally turned and left.
