Peninsula's first chance encounter during my stay in Dali

"Oh, you're the legendary Sakura! I love Lesserafim so much!" Zhou Haoming said enthusiastically.

"You Zhou Haoming, you've kept such a big thing from us and made a fool of yourself. Just you wait and see!" Sakura smiled like an idol on the surface, but in her heart she was already ready to kill this gaming partner.

At this moment, Zhou Haoming was still unaware of the impending danger and continued to happily tease Xiaoyinghua.

After both parties sat down, Hybe's representatives began explaining their cooperation intentions. Zhou Haoming listened, feeling bored, and was casually playing with his phone when a message suddenly popped up.

"Haoming-san, you're really hiding your true abilities! Caiyuan and I were completely fooled by your acting!"

Zhou Haoming chuckled upon seeing this, "Oh, not at all, I'm just a lowly minister, Sakura-chan, there's no need for you to be so formal."

"I won't give you any special treatment just because we're gaming buddies!" Zhou Haoming sent the message with a joking expression.

"Tch, who needs to use back channels? Our group is talented enough, we don't need to!" Sakura immediately retorted upon seeing this.

Seraphs should have continued their winning streak after their run on Coachella, but the result was far from satisfactory. Their poor performance on stage led to them being ridiculed by their rivals, the Buffaloes.

Hybe specifically reduced Seraph's activities for this reason, which is why Sakura often has a whole day to spend playing games in her dorm room.

When Zhou Haoming took over, he was aware of the changes in the group caused by this stage accident.

When it was Zhou Haoming's turn to speak, he first glanced at Kim Chae-won and Sakura's seats, then confidently stated, "Actually, saving the Seraph group is very simple!"

After saying this, Kim Chae-won and Sakura looked at Zhou Haoming with urgent expressions. They knew that in today's K-pop market, if their group stagnated, they would eventually be abandoned by the company and relegated to a retirement-level girl group. But their group had only debuted two years ago; how could they be willing to stop there!

"I've seen Seraph's performance, and to be honest, their skills are quite good. Their stage presence is a highlight of the group. So why not turn things around at MAMA's year-end stage? Besides MAMA, what other stage performances are most anticipated in the K-pop market?"

"Please, Coachella is just a stage for Chuangmei, but your company needs to focus on the present. They haven't even figured out K-pop yet."

Zhou Haoming's slow and methodical analysis captivated Xiao Yinghua and Caiyuan Jie in the audience, especially Xiao Yinghua, who was skilled at video games, humorous, kind, and capable.

"Our Kakao company's condition is to arrange for Seraph to perform on various year-end stages, especially MAMA!"

"As for your company's terms, I think we should add one more point: the issue of copyright fees. My secretary will explain the details to everyone. Please welcome that!"

Zhou Haoming sat back down and looked up to see the adoring looks on Xiaoyinghua's and Caiyuanjie's faces. He winked playfully.

Sakura and Vegetable Garden Sister immediately beamed with joy.

Their agent quickly covered for them, fearing they would be reprimanded by company leaders for their lack of manners if they were seen.

"Thank you for the suggestion, Minister Min!" Sister Vegetable Garden sent a message.

"It's all a small matter, as long as our Vegetable Garden Sister is happy."

"Wow, how did you know my name among the fans?!"

"I already told you I follow you guys closely. You're Little Leopard, and Sakura-chan likes to knit. Am I right?"

"Well, it seems Haoming oppa wasn't lying to me after all."

"That's right, that's right!" Zhou Haoming said smugly.

After the meeting ended, Sakura and Vegetable Garden Sister followed Hybe's leader back to hold an emergency meeting.

What a pity, I was thinking of inviting them to dinner. Zhou Haoming watched their departing figures.

Zhou Haoming went to the company cafeteria for lunch with little interest and then returned to his office to prepare for a nap.

Suddenly, Lim Yoona called via video. Zhou Haoming answered, "Noona, are you done work?"

"Oh, Haoming is resting in his office, oh my god, the big boss is really something else!" Lin Yoona joked.

"No way," Zhou Haoming said seriously, "no matter how big a leader I am, I'm still your boyfriend!"

"Oh my god, Haoming, you can actually say sweet nothings now!" Lin Yoona's ears turned slightly red.

"I was going to tell you anyway, okay? Besides, Nu is my girlfriend. If I don't tell you, am I supposed to tell some other woman?"

"Uncle! Sweet nothings can only be said to Noona, Arasso?" Im Yoona said in a serious tone!

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

"Then you should go to sleep and get some rest. We have a special activity tonight," Yoona said cautiously at the end.

"Okay! I'll get some rest!" Zhou Haoming replied seriously. He was joking; anyone who wasn't serious would be a fool.

"Hehehe, Nunu's gone to film a movie, you be good, mua!"

After ending the call, Zhou Haoming happily took a nap, beaming with joy despite his busy afternoon.

2:00 PM (This is a time marker, not a complete sentence, and does not require correction)

Secretary Liu woke Zhou Haoming up, "Minister Min, we're getting ready to go to Starship to discuss IVE's next comeback!"

Zhou Haoming and his group arrived at the Starship conference room, where only Ahn Yoo-jin, the captain of IVE, and the staff in charge of planning were present.

Upon seeing Zhou Haoming enter, everyone stood up to greet him.

"Alright, everyone, sit down. Let's discuss the direction of IVE's comeback and try to get it done today."

Looking at Zhou Haoming's dejected expression, Ahn Yujin recalled how he had taken care of her recently and wondered to herself, "Does Minister Min like me? But I'm an idol, you know. But Minister Min is really nice."

While Ahn Yu-jin, as the team leader, was lost in thought, the discussion in the meeting room was already in full swing. Some suggested going for a sweet style, while others suggested a cool and edgy style, leading to a heated argument between the two sides.

"Alright, alright," the two sides, who were still arguing heatedly, stopped their debate when Zhou Haoming spoke up, because the person who was actually making the decision had spoken.

"Why can't IVE continue with the style they adopted at the beginning of their debut? Give me a reason!"

A planning staff member replied, "Minister Min, because most of IIVE's comebacks follow the original style, the planning department is worried that the market will become aesthetically fatigued with IIVE."

"But you need to understand that ive's original style was the easiest for the public to accept. Your last comeback, which changed your style, led to a significant loss of the domestic market. Now, the problem you should be struggling with is not fatigue, but how to win back the domestic market."

Ahn Yoo-jin, sitting in the audience, looked at Zhou Haoming, who was speaking eloquently on stage, her puppy eyes sparkling.

"So, I've decided that ive's next comeback will continue the group's original style. That's the decision."

"Ahn Yu-jin, as the leader, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"Mo? Minister Min, I think you're absolutely right. I have nothing to say. I'll follow the company's arrangements," Ahn Yoo-jin assured him, patting her chest.

"That's settled then, everyone get ready, meeting adjourned!" Zhou Haoming was the first to walk out of the meeting room. He had been wanting to leave work for a long time.
