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

Chapter 478 The Waterloo of the Master Thief

Time flies, and July 4th arrived in no time.

Around 10 a.m., a pre-comeback meeting for miss A was being held in a large conference room at JYP Entertainment.

"That's settled then. Miss A's comeback is tentatively scheduled for early November. Director Chen will be in charge of all matters related to this comeback."

Sitting in the middle, Park Jin-young first looked at the other attendees and said something, then turned to Chen Yan, who was sitting at the head of the table on his left, and said with a smile:

"We've worked hard for Miss A's return this time, thanks to our Director Chen."

Chen Yan's lips twitched: "President-nim, this seems different from what we said before, doesn't it?"

This guy clearly told him before that he was in charge of planning and producing miss A's album, so how come he's now in charge of all the things related to this comeback?

The wrinkles around Park Jin-young's eyes deepened as he smiled.

"Oh dear, since you're in charge of the album's planning and production, it won't make much difference if you also take care of other things related to the comeback. The more capable you are, the more work you should do, Xiao Yan."

Chen Yan looked speechless: "Brother Zhenying, this is a huge difference."

"Oh, there's not much difference. You just need to grasp the general direction, and the specific tasks will be handled by the people in the various departments below."

As he spoke, the man leaned closer to Chen Yan and whispered, "I'm currently preparing songs for my new album coming back in September, and I really don't have much time. I feel more at ease leaving this to you."

People can laugh when they're extremely speechless, so Chen Yan laughed without any surprise.

Just admit it, you founded JYP to make your comeback easier, right? You just accidentally made it one of the top three entertainment companies.

Inside the meeting room, others who witnessed the exchange between the two almost couldn't help but laugh.

Sitting a few seats away from Chen Yan, Bae Suzy couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she saw the speechless expression on her oppa's face.

Park Jin-young smiled and patted Chen Yan on the shoulder, then seemed to remember something.

"By the way, Xiaoyan, is the song you wrote for Apink going to be released at midnight?"

"Yes, midnight, which is July 5th."

“I’ve seen a lot of discussion about Apink’s song online these past two days, which is obviously due to the efforts of ACUBE’s publicity department.”

Park Jin-young tapped his finger lightly on the table: "Xiao Yan, do you want to predict how well this song will do? Do you think it will do better than 'Something'?"

After finishing the main business of the meeting, it's perfectly fine to chat about Chen Yan's new song casually.

He also hopes that Chen Yan's song can achieve good results again. Chen Yan is now a shareholder and director of JYP, and is deeply tied to JYP.

If he's better, JYP will be better to some extent as well.

Girl's Day's successful comeback indirectly boosted JYP's stock price.

Before Chen Yan could reply, Bae Suzy raised her hand.

"I think the director's song will definitely do well."

"Oh? So Suzy has that much confidence in Xiaoyan."

"Hmm~"

Bae Suzy nodded, her bright, rabbit-like eyes darting around, before she changed the subject.

"So please, Director-nim, write a good song for Miss A too."

Looking at the girl with a slightly funny expression, Chen Yan chuckled: "So that's what you were waiting for, huh? You deliberately praised me and flattered me, so I had no choice but to write a good song for you guys. You're so clever, Soo-ji."

Bae Suzy pretended not to notice the teasing in the oppa's words and chuckled.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Director."

The amusing interaction made everyone else in the meeting room laugh.

Park Jin-young then patted Chen Yan on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving miss A's comeback to you. Write them a good song."

After saying that, he turned to the others and said, "The meeting is adjourned."

After Park Jin-young was the first to stand up and leave the meeting room, everyone else stood up, bowed to Chen Yan, and then left the meeting room as well.

Bae Suzy then walked over to Chen Yan, put her hands behind her back, and said with a grin:

"You have to write us a good song, oppa, you promised."

Chen Yan's tone, tinged with a hint of helplessness but also affection, said, "Okay~"

Sensing the doting tone in her voice, the girl's smile widened, revealing her two adorable bunny teeth as she chuckled.

The two walked out of the conference room side by side.

"Then I'll be going now, oppa."

"Well, let's go."

After saying goodbye to Bae Suzy, Chen Yan turned and walked towards his office.

"Adu"

Suddenly, my phone beeped with a message notification.

He took out his phone and looked at it.

Rabbits Don't Eat Carrots: Oppa, I'll be at the company at noon, let's have lunch together in a bit.

Chen Yan paused, and as he subconsciously chuckled, he turned to look.

The girl stood there with her hands behind her back, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face after he looked over.

A ray of sunlight streamed through the glass window, illuminating the girl and instantly adding a dazzling halo to her, making her already bright smile slightly dazzling.

With her white dress and white sneakers, she truly embodies the image of most people's ideal first love.

"Click"

Putting down his phone, Chen Yan looked at the frozen image on the screen and smiled slightly.

Bae Suzy's message popped up again at the top of the screen.

Rabbit doesn't eat carrots: Oppa, you're taking pictures of me without my permission!

Chen Yan: What do you mean by secretly filming? I clearly filmed it right in front of you.

Rabbit doesn't eat carrots: Then send me the picture.

Chen Yan: I'll show you when we eat later. If you don't come, you won't get to see it.

After replying to the message, Chen Yan put away his phone and looked up at Bae Suzy, who was standing not far away with her lips slightly pouting.

He smiled at her, then turned and continued walking towards his office.

Tsk, it somehow feels like an office romance.

Behind her, Bae Suzy wrinkled her nose at the oppa's back, and then couldn't help but raise her hand and wave her little fists a few times.

After completing a short combo, it seemed as if they finally realized this wasn't a no-man's land.

Rabbit Eyes cautiously looked around, and only after seeing no one else did it breathe a sigh of relief and relax.

With a soft hum, she turned and walked briskly toward the elevator.

Back in his office, Chen Yan sat down in a chair.

I swiped the mouse, opened the meeting minutes that my assistant had sent me, and tapped my fingers lightly on my desk.

miss A's comeback in November and the single he's preparing to write for Bae Suzy are the two unfinished tasks he currently has on his plate.

There's not much for Lee Sunmi to worry about with her solo album anymore. The subsequent MV shooting and makeup design will naturally be handled by professionals. He just needs to make the final decision.

At present, the main focus is on planning miss A's next album and determining the album concept. This step is the core and also the most time-consuming.

With a direction in mind, Chen Yan turned off the meeting minutes and began researching miss A's information and their previously released albums.

"Adu"

After an unknown amount of time, a message notification sound suddenly rang in the quiet office, pulling him back to reality.

He reached out and grabbed the phone next to him.

Rabbit Doesn't Eat Carrots: Time to eat, Director-nim! Stop watching those female YouTubers dancing! [Tongue out]

"Ha~"

With a light laugh, Chen Yan got up and walked out of the office while replying to messages on his phone.

Chen Yan: How can you slander someone? Who watched the female blogger dance? I've been busy with work the whole time.

Rabbit doesn't eat carrots: Hmph~ Who knows? I can't see it anyway.

Chen Yan: Want to get a spanking again? Rabbit Doesn't Eat Carrots: Hey~ oppa, don't mention this.

Chen Yan smiled, put away his phone, and didn't send any more messages to tease the rabbit.

I walked to the elevator and pressed the button.

The elevator continued to rise, and after a few seconds it reached the floor and the doors slowly opened.

Bae Suzy, holding her phone, appeared in front of Chen Yan.

Seeing the girl smile, Chen Yan stepped into the elevator. After walking to her side, he glanced down at her.

Noticing her oppa's gaze, Bae Suzy's face tightened, and she quickly put her hands behind her back to cover her bottom.

Oppa isn't really going to spank her, is he? But we're in an elevator, and there are security cameras around.

No, absolutely not!
It's one thing to do it in the office, but doing it in the elevator is just too embarrassing.

Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled inwardly and looked back at the girl's eyes: "Don't worry, I won't hit you. We're outside."

Bae Suzy pouted and withdrew her hand.

My oppa is definitely not such a tactless person.

The elevator doors opened again on the cafeteria floor, and the two stepped out and walked side by side toward the food serving window.

After getting their food, Bae Suzy found an empty seat and immediately reached out her hand to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask a question when he saw the girl withdraw her hand and pout as she said:
"Oppa, send me the photos you just took. I want to see them. If they're not good, oppa, you can't keep them."

Looking directly at someone's phone is a bit of an invasion of privacy, even given her current relationship with Chen Yan. That's why she immediately withdrew her hand after realizing what she was doing.

"Okay, I'll send it to you. Anyway, I think it's a pretty good photo."

Chen Yan took out his phone and sent the photo he had just taken to Bae Suzy.

A photo popped up in the chat box, and the girl clicked on it to take a closer look.

In the photo, she smiles like a flower, with the sunlight shining in providing the best lighting. Her white dress and white shoes complement the sunlight, perfectly highlighting her pure and innocent charm.

Data-saving version: It's absolutely gorgeous.

Silently clicking save and putting down her phone, Bae Suzy's smile vanished, and she casually said:
"The photos are alright, not ugly, I'll allow oppa to stay."

Chen Yan put a mouthful of rice into his mouth and muttered to himself, "Being arrogant isn't exactly a virtue."

Bae Suzy pouted and gave her oppa a reproachful look.

"It looks great, oppa, you took such a great photo, okay?"

Chen Yan looked up and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, Xiuzhi. Let's eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."

"Humph~"

The girl with the upturned nose made a nasal sound and picked up her chopsticks to eat as well.

Being arrogant is definitely not a good habit, otherwise someone wouldn't be so far behind now.

But speaking of Krystal...
"Oppa, Sulli and Krystal are making a comeback at the end of this month, right?"

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, they just came back from a concert in China a couple of days ago, and now they're busy with promotions and training every day."

"Oh, I saw the news. Being able to hold a concert is indeed a great achievement for a girl group."

"You'll have your chance in the future too."

Bae Suzy smiled and said, "Hehe, then I'll take oppa's good wishes."

However, she wasn't thinking about the concert; instead, she was excited about Krystal and the others' comeback at the end of the month.

After all, this return, including the early and later stages, meant that I was in a state of being extremely busy for at least two months.

This means I'll have plenty of opportunities to catch up on my progress in the next two months.

Krystal is busy with her comeback, while IU is busy filming.

By the time she makes her comeback in November, she and oppa will have already far surpassed the other two in terms of progress.

Hehe, you two little rascals.

A smile involuntarily appeared on her face. Bae Suzy chewed her food, feeling that the food in her mouth tasted much better.

She turned her gaze back to her own oppa across from her, and smiled with narrowed eyes again.

But soon, as if she had thought of something, the girl slowed down her chewing.

"Oppa, Taeyeon unnie and the others, did they come back from Taiwan today?"

"Yes, we should arrive in Seoul this evening."

Speaking of Kim Tae-yeon and the others, Chen Yan couldn't help but recall the little deer's provocative words to him during their last video call.

Let's see who comes tonight. If it's that little deer...
Hmph, call me daddy!

Otherwise, this matter won't be resolved.

"Oh."

Bae Suzy across from her responded, then lowered her head and kicked at the rice in her plate with her chopsticks, her eyes constantly flickering.

Don't panic, don't panic. It's just that Taeyeon and the others are back. What's there to panic about?

Besides, I don't do anything, and I won't confront them directly.

Although I had brief encounters with Taeyeon and Yoona before, without knowing the situation, ignorance is no excuse, right?

According to Sulli, her three unnies are all easy to get along with and probably won't hold a grudge against her.

Moreover, she remembered that these unnies would stay in Seoul for about a week before heading to Taiwan to prepare for their concert at the end of the month.

Two days ago, she specifically used her alternate account to sneak into Girls' Generation's fan club to check the schedules of these unnies.

This is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

It's essential to know the movements of the enemy—or rather, the rest of your family.

Putting everything else aside, just imagine going to oppa's house one day and bumping into any one of the unnies.
The thought of that situation sent chills down her spine, so of course she had to avoid it.

I should at least wait until I successfully raid their base before facing those unnies. That way, I'll have more confidence.

So during the few days that Taeyeon and the others were in Seoul, she absolutely wouldn't go to oppa's house, and it was best not to even call him.

After they left, oppa was basically all by himself again.

After mentally organizing the timeline and analyzing the situation, Bae Suzy nodded secretly.

She, Bae Soo-ji, a master of home raiding, is no ordinary person.

Just then, Chen Yan's voice rang out: "Xiuzhi, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking, or are you feeling unwell?"

Bae Suzy snapped out of her reverie and quickly smiled, "Oh, no, I was just wondering which unnie you're going to spend the night with, oppa."

"Cough cough."

Chen Yan, who had been looking at the girl with some concern, was suddenly choked.

"whee"

The girl smiled slyly: "Don't worry, oppa, I don't mind, and I definitely won't call you tonight."

"Eat your food."

Chen Yan gave her a disgruntled look.

Listen to what they're saying, it's as if the two of them are having an affair behind Kim Tae-yeon's back.

Having successfully amused the oppa, Bae Suzy chuckled and lowered her head to continue eating.

But the next second, she stopped laughing.

Because Chen Yan suddenly said casually, "Suzy, you don't think Taeyeon and Noona don't know you exist, do you?"

The smile on his face vanished instantly, and the food he had just picked up fell back onto the plate because his hand trembled.

Bae Suzy raised her head in a daze.

Chen Yan blinked, a bright smile spreading across his face.

The girl blinked her rabbit-like eyes a few times, looking equally bewildered.

I've already been exposed before I even raided their base?
A master thief's Waterloo when he meets an honest scumbag.
