The return trip in mid-September was another round of quarantine packages, and Chen Chen really felt like vomiting while staying in the hotel.
Fortunately, the isolation time required by South Korea is so short that Chen Chen will not really stay until he collapses.
"Congratulations on being released from prison, I must change my mind and be a new person in the future!"
When the quarantine ended, it was Zhiyan who came to pick her up. This woman seemed to be having a good time after Chen Chen left. If you look good, you will be able to take the initiative to joke when we meet again.
“Hey, you’re not afraid of me anymore?” Chen Chen glanced sideways at her, “It seems that Shirley said bad things about me during the time I left. I need to clean up the atmosphere within the company when I return. ”
"Nothing!" Pu Zhiyan straightened her back, and her little head began to search for various reasons frantically, "It was during the time when the president left that I learned what kind of person you are from everyone's mouths, so I met you again. You feel friendly!”
“Okay, so do I. You're joking." Chen Chen waved her hand to calm down, "There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with, and I don't have time to waste time on such small things."
That's true. After not being able to handle various tasks personally for nearly two months, Chen Chen could imagine how much action he had to do.
But what he said just now is not false. Chen Chen is very sure that the person who changed Park Ji-yeon's attitude towards him must be Shirley, and the method of change must be to say a lot of bad things.
Zhiyan has always been afraid of Chen Chen, from the time she first came to the time Chen Chen left.
It is understandable that the name Chen Chen has forged in the industry over the past few years must be very scary to people outside.
Zhiyan was pushed over as a related person. She did a job that she was not familiar with at all, and the remuneration was so generous that it made people drool. The combination of all these conditions makes even a normal person feel a little embarrassed. , let alone doing normal work in a less normal status as an artist.
So there is only one way to quickly make Zhiyan raise her head, complaining among besties.
Complaining between girlfriends is a good way for another woman to get to know a man, so it is normal for girlfriends to pick corners so frequently. Well, that’s a bit crooked, but I know this method anyway. It can help a woman get to know and get close to a man quickly.
It just so happens that Zhiyan, her best friend, still holds a high position in the C position, so her complaints will certainly be more convincing and more effective.
"Have you prepared the company's latest report?"
Idle time is also idle, Chen Chen plans to read something.
"I'm prepared, but Sulli said to let you rest first, and then watch again after you have rested." Park Ji-yeon replied.
"My heart is kind, but I think a little less." Chen Chen commented harshly, "I had a good rest during the isolation period. It can even be said that if I don't work, I will be bored to death." , without considering this, I can only give Shirley an eighty-five."
"Then let's go to the company instead?" Park Zhiyan asked: "Or continue to move to your residence?"
"Go home." Chen Chen replied: "The things I brought back need to be sorted out, and I also need to deal with the house that has not been occupied for a long time."
"Okay."
Park Ji-yeon once again guessed her boss's thoughts wrongly and couldn't help but stick out her tongue in embarrassment.
“Hey, that’s not right!” Park Ji-yeon suddenly screamed, “I didn’t see you picking up anything when I picked you up! Did we leave our luggage at the airport?!”
"That's not the case." Chen Chen smiled, "I also have an assistant at the soy sauce bottle. Those heavy tasks are his job."
Lin Nanyi was also transferred by Shirley, and he should have even put his luggage at the door by now.
……
……
When Chen Chen arrived home, he happened to see the little Pei Zhuxuan dragging a big suitcase home. Genxian couldn't help but jump a little, probably because he was so cute.
“Can’t you wait until I come back before moving in?” Chen Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help, “Or you can just ask Anan to move in.”
"I'm not willing to let him step on the floor I just mopped to welcome you back. Also, it's not good to leave things outside in case you lose them." Bae Zhuhyun put down her luggage and stood on tiptoes to hug her boyfriend, "Welcome back." < br>
“Well, I’m back.”
Chen Chen hugged his little girlfriend into his arms and felt the feeling of peace of mind for the first time in a long time.
He moved his luggage back to the house and gave the box containing clothes and other daily necessities to his girlfriend to sort out. Chen Chen took out the gifts he brought back and put them on the table and stared at them in a daze.
Actually, it's not that I'm in a daze. I'm thinking in my head which gift is for which person. It's just that when I'm thinking about it, my eyes are dull and it looks like I'm in a daze.
"Did you bring it to the girls at Integrate?"
Bae Zhuhyun asked one more question after getting her gift.
“Why bring them gifts?” Chen Chen was still a little dazed, “The girls are not at the point where I need to use gifts to please them, right?”
“But it’s your first anniversary. He didn’t show up at the time.” Bae Zhuhyun replied, “Officially. You can't appear on the surface, but your relationship is not only official, you still need to make compensation in private."
"It's over!" Chen Chen felt dizzy after being suddenly awakened, "I am. I never thought about it!”
"How about preparing secretly now?" Pei Zhuxuan suggested: "Anyway, you won't be able to see the girls until tomorrow at the earliest."
"Forget it, if the gifts I give to the girls don't have any Chinese elements. They are good at cheating, and they are not stupid at all." Chen Chen didn't feel too embarrassed, "I'll compensate them with something else. I just have to prepare for things with Universal Music recently, so I prepared an extra song to play with. Let’s do it.”
“Integrate is going to prepare an English single.” Pei Zhuxuan opened a bag of snacks that Chen Chen brought back and ate, “How much sincerity are you going to put into it?”
< br>"Anyway, it is more sincere than the English version of "LATATA" produced by (G)I-DLE." Chen Chen puffed up his chest proudly, "After all, we are also a well-known producer and singer in the European and American music market. , the things you bring out can’t be too bad!”
“Pfft~” Pei Zhuxuan covered her mouth and almost laughed, but she said it nicely, “Don’t say that since Cube Entertainment is almost under your management. That’s it, let’s think about how to help Cube Entertainment stand up!”
"About this." Chen Chen sat back on the sofa and took his girlfriend into his arms domineeringly, "Do you really think Cube Entertainment needs help?"
"Why not?" Pei Zhuxuan carefully controlled his balance. Let the snacks spill out from the packaging bag, "Has Cube Entertainment not been miserable enough in the past few years?"
"Boss Hong and CLC are having a miserable life, not Cube Entertainment." Chen Chen corrected her statement, "Just think about it."
After all, four idols can be operated at the same time The entertainment company of the group cannot be bad. If it was really so miserable that no one could see it, all the artists would have run away, such as Cube Entertainment later.
The later Cube Entertainment was indeed too scary. CLC was disbanded, BTOB and PENTAGON all left without renewal. (G)I-DLE was only waiting for the end of the contract. The only remaining LIGHTSUM looked like A bit worse than the CLC back then. See, this is the end, the current cube entertainment is still far behind!
Compared with the difficulty of being completely destroyed, it is much easier to lift Cube Entertainment up.
First of all, the quality of the idol groups produced by Cube Entertainment has been tested for a long time. They have a good reputation among the fans. As long as the company can make appropriate operations, these groups can become Become a group that contributes to the company.
Now with the blessing of C Headquarters and no need to worry about other things, Boss Hong will completely prove to everyone how he almost made the industry into the top four with Cube Entertainment.
And during the operation of Boss Hong, the plug-in Chen Chen will also correct some of his operations to ensure that Cube Entertainment is always on the right path.
So, Cube Entertainment’s darkest period has passed. Wait, it has not passed! And one last question!
"What you said seems to make sense. It seems that Boss Hong has always been the one who has had the worse life. I have seen many artists from Square Entertainment." Pei Zhuxuan nodded her head in confusion, "And everyone also thinks that APink He is still an artist of Cube Entertainment.”
“Okay, let’s not talk about APink, that will always be a pain in Boss Hong’s heart.” Chen Chen said while suppressing a smile: “The group is a good group, and so are the people. A good person is not in his own company. Who can bear this!"
"Be a human being!" Pei Zhuxuan rolled his eyes at him and asked, "What are you doing tomorrow?"
" Go to the company to get the documents signed and stamped by the president during this period, and then send out the gifts and so on." Chen Chen smacked his lips, "It's nothing important. The main thing is to show everyone that I'm back."< br>
"Then why are you smacking your lips?" Pei Zhuxuan keenly noticed Chen Chen's little movements, "What are you bothering about?!"
"After you reveal your face, many people will come over to inquire about the news. After all, TikTok's apparent struggle is not over yet." Chen Chen said helplessly: "Everyone works in the entertainment industry. Both the artists and the company themselves have left. If you don’t open the TikTok platform, it’s normal to be concerned about it. Love.”
“But that’s not the case for me! I have to deal with a lot of people because I can’t hold a press conference to explain it all!”
“Obviously TikTok is not here. No matter what the outcome of this struggle is, it will not affect the normal use of South Korea. Both sides South Korea is not included in the game, but these people just want to ask!" Chen Chen couldn't help but slapped himself on the forehead, "Oh, my head hurts! I can understand everyone, but I just have a headache!"
"Think of it as repaying the debt." Bae Zhuhyun said: "TikTo You have always enjoyed the invisible benefits that k has brought you. Now that it has brought you some trouble that needs to be solved, you should help others solve it.”
“Oh, this is very enlightening! "Chen Chen gave his girlfriend a thumbs up, "That's it, I received your advice!"
"Okay, okay, let's think about what to eat later. You definitely won't miss Korean food there, but you will probably miss what I cook."
Bae Zhuhyun was a little shy and quickly moved away topic.
"You can cook anything you want." Chen Chen didn't ask for anything, he just complained, "The quarantine meal is too unpalatable, everything you do is delicacies from the mountains and seas!"
"You too You’re starting to eat casually, right?” Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes at him, and then pointed at her boyfriend, “Let’s come to the kitchen together, everyone.”
“…”
After putting on his apron, Chen Chen had no intention of cooking. He was just thinking about how to hug his girlfriend from behind so as not to affect her movements.
"Have you missed me?"
Chen Chen hugged his girlfriend and lowered his head to kiss her scent.
"It's okay." Pei Zhuxuan said hard, "I think about it when I'm not busy, but I don't think about it when I'm busy."
"Are you very busy recently?" Chen Chen asked .
"I'm not busy most of the time." Pei Zhuxuan's mouth became softer.
"Oh, by the way, I figured out a little bit about the Arlene Canteen recently!" Pei Zhuxuan showed off to Chen Chen excitedly, "Cheong Wa Dae's epidemic prevention policy has been adjusted, and I basically reacted according to the epidemic prevention policy. After understanding everything that needs to be understood, as long as you work harder, you should be able to operate it completely on your own!"
"The epidemic can actually have such an effect?" Chen Chen felt a little strange and a little relieved, "But it's quite good. Okay, I’ll be relieved if you can run Arlene’s Canteen by yourself.”
“Arlene’s Canteen is a very high-quality project.” Chen Chen thought about what happened before he left and said with a smile. Before you leave, you, Mr. Li Xiuman, want to invest a sum of money in it.”
“Teacher Li Xiuman invests in Arlene Canteen?” Pei Zhuxuan shook her head like a rattle, “No, I can’t accept it. This is too inconsistent. ! ”
"I mean, the fact that your teacher Li Xiuman likes Arlene Canteen means that Arlene Canteen is a very good project." Chen Chen laughed, "I didn't let him in, and even because I didn't let him in, it made him seem so A little unhappy."
"Speaking of which," Chen Chen hugged his girlfriend's waist tighter, "What do you think about the opening of a branch of Arlene Canteen?"
"Are you sure you want to ask my opinion?" Pei Zhuxuan tilted her head, "If you really want to listen to my opinion, I will use my few business skills to tell you a few words."
"Tell me about it." Chen Chen encouraged: "It would be great if Arlin could make her own decision."
"I think it is necessary to open a branch, but this The scope of branches should be limited to the metropolitan area.”
Pei Zhuxuan seemed to really understand, and what she said made Chen Chen couldn't help but open his mouth.
“You’re so awesome, classmate Arlin!” Chen Chen praised without hesitation, “Can you secretly tutor on your own and achieve such great results?!”
“Just chatting with the store manager and other supervisors It's just been there for a long time." Pei Zhuxuan lowered his head in embarrassment, "There are those. With the support of information, even fools know how to operate.”
The advantage of Arlene Canteen lies in its two suppliers, one is a hard relationship with the Blue House and the other is a good partner that Black Cat is looking for. A supplier led Arlene Canteen to establish a firm foothold in the swamped metropolitan area and break out of the siege.
Not just any Chinese restaurant can survive in the metropolitan area. In fact, many more will die.
Therefore, the expansion scope of Arlene Canteen is actually within the reach of suppliers, which is the current capital area.
"Congratulations to the proprietress for making the most correct choice!" Chen Chen raised his voice and shouted, "Now as long as you answer the next question correctly, you will be rewarded with a branch of Arlene Canteen. Please listen to the question. !”
“I wonder if Madam would like to sleep with me tonight?”
Cao Cao’s words, Cao Thief’s Quotes.
“Yes.”
Pei Zhuxuan didn't understand what Chen Chen was trying to do, but the content was always correct, and the answers were certainly correct.
Where is Chen Chen? Chen Chen was already so happy.
