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

Chapter 570 You really deserve to die!
Time flies, and November is already here.

During this period, Chen Yan and his family remained relatively busy as always.

Girls' Generation's global tour is not over yet, and the four members (Tae, Seo, Yun, and Kyu) have their own schedules every day, while also preparing for the concerts to be held on Hong Kong Island on the 9th and 10th.

Of course, Lee Soon-kyu was relatively free, so she became a regular at Chen Yan's house, spending time there whenever she had free time.
hehehe~
Tao and Jung Soo-jung have been quite busy lately. Tao has had a lot of scattered schedules, while Jung Soo-jung has been busy filming "The Heirs".

The drama "The Heirs" has aired 8 episodes so far, and its viewership rating has remained above 12%, which is quite good.

Kim Eun-sook is currently adjusting the plot based on audience feedback to see if she can further boost the viewership ratings.

Lee Ji-eun is still busy with her comeback and preparing for the reissue of her album "Modern Times" to be released in December.

The song she co-wrote the lyrics for with Chen Yan and named "Palette," as well as another song she named "Friday Meeting," have already been composed. The girl is currently busy arranging the music for these two songs.

This was also the task assigned to her by her teacher, Chen Yan.

Lee Ji-eun already has experience in independent arrangement; all that's left is to practice more and gradually improve her arrangement skills.

As for Bae Suzy, this rabbit, as JYP's most popular artist, she also has a busy schedule. Occasionally, when she has free time during the day, she will come to Chen Yan's office to play with him.

As for what exactly they are playing.

Um... It's not convenient to say.

Chen Yan himself is busy creating the OST for "My Love from the Star", learning how to incubate girl groups from Park Jin-young, and occasionally visiting Lim Na-yeon and the others to chat with them.

I'm not exactly busy, but I'm not exactly idle either.

That afternoon, Chen Yan sat in his office, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, occasionally moving the mouse or tapping the keyboard.

After a moment, he let out a soft sigh and leaned back slightly in his chair.

One of the OSTs for "My Love from the Star" has been completed.

The reason he calls it a song is because he was reading the script for "My Love from the Star" a couple of days ago when he had another song in mind.

The song I just finished is the one I promised to give to Kim Tae-yeon, and I named it "My Destiny".

He called Park Jae-hyun a couple of days ago and told him about his new inspiration, asking if he still needed an OST.

Park Jae-hyun had no reason to refuse, and quickly said that as long as Chen Yan was willing to write, he would write all the OSTs for the drama "My Love from the Star".

Chen Yan naturally declined with a smile. He had other things to do later, so how could he devote all his energy to writing the OST?

Chen Yan stretched and yawned, glanced at the computer screen, tapped his fingers lightly on the desktop twice, then picked up his phone and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected, and Kim Young-min's cheerful voice came through:
"Hello, Director Chen."

"President Kim, I hope my call wasn't intrusive and didn't disturb your work?"

"Director Chen, you're too kind. There's no trouble at all."

After exchanging a few polite words, Chen Yan got straight to the point.

"President Kim, I mentioned before that I wanted to collaborate with Taeyeon on an OST. Now that the song is finished, I wanted to ask for your company's opinion."

Kim Young-min's smile deepened: "Of course we couldn't be happier. Countless people in the music industry would love Director Chen's work right now. Thank you, Director Chen, for choosing Taeyeon."

Chen Yan mentioned the OST, which he had been paying attention to since Running Man aired some time ago.

Chen Yan's request to collaborate with Kim Tae-yeon on an OST stayed on Naver's trending list for two whole days, and the PR department quickly reported the matter to him.

Upon learning this, he immediately called Chen Yan.

What he just said—that countless people in the music industry want Chen Yan's work—wasn't just a compliment; it was the truth.

Given Chen Yan's current status as a top music producer and his own popularity, even if he were to ask for 100 million Korean won for a single song, there would be people scrambling to buy it.

Now that Chen Yan has specifically requested to collaborate with Kim Tae-yeon, that's definitely a good thing.

Moreover, singing OSTs is a job that companies don't have to spend money on; in fact, they can make money from it.

Kim Young-min had no reason to let go of this meat that was practically delivered to his mouth.

However, Chen Yan said at the time that the OST was not yet finished and that he would contact him again when it was completed.

When Jin Yingmin saw Chen Yan call, he guessed it was probably about the OST.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll communicate with SBS later."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Director Chen's good news."

"Ok."

Chen Yan replied with a smile, then suddenly remembered something else.

"By the way, President Kim, has your company confirmed the comeback date for Girls' Generation?"

"Haha, it was my oversight. I forgot to tell Director Chen about this."

Kim Young-min apologized and continued, "The company had a meeting a couple of days ago and tentatively set the return date for the end of February next year. I hope Director Chen's schedule is okay?"

"No problem, I will do my best to write a good song for Girls' Generation."

"Haha, who wouldn't trust Director Chen's creative abilities? It's a pleasure to work with him."

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with you."

After a brief conversation, Chen Yan hung up the phone, his fingers tapping lightly on the table unconsciously, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Late February, that's plenty of time.

Moreover, this way, he could actually set the release date for the song "Some" in January next year.

This way, it avoids the timing of the re-release of IU's "Modern Times" album at the end of December, and also fills the gap between IU and Girls' Generation in January.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yan had a general idea. He put his thoughts aside, leaned back in his chair, and rested for a while.

Then he sat up straight again and continued to revise some details of the OST "My Desiny".

Another busy day passed. At 5:30 p.m., Chen Yan got up and left the office on time.

Arriving at the underground parking garage, they got into the white BMW sports car that Yoona had bought, but instead of going home, they drove all the way to a barbecue restaurant near Gangnam.

Tonight, Park In-jae invited him to dinner at a barbecue restaurant.

The car was parked in an empty parking space on the side of the road. Chen Yan put on a mask, got out of the car, and walked into the barbecue restaurant next door.

Following the waiter to the door of the private room, we pushed it open, and Park In-jae was already sitting inside.

Seeing him arrive, she didn't get up, but greeted him with a smile, "You're here! Have a seat. I've already ordered the food, it'll be here soon."

Chen Yan sat down next to him, glanced around the private room, looked at the grill in front of him, and suddenly laughed:
"It seems like it's been a while since I've had barbecue."

Park In-jae laughed when he heard this: "Right? I haven't had it for a while, so I thought of coming to a barbecue restaurant."

Chen Yan took a sip of the water he had poured for him: "You were busy picking up girls at the bar, that's why you didn't have time to eat, right?" "Heh~"

Park In-jae immediately objected: "Don't slander me, okay? I'm very busy now and I rarely go to bars anymore."

A knock came at the door, and the waiter brought up the grilled meat and side dishes that Park In-jae had just ordered.

After he left, Chen Yan looked at Park In-jae and continued:
"I bet you've stopped going to bars and started flirting with female idols from smaller companies and dating them now."

"."

Park In-jae opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it.

Because Chen Yan, that bastard, was right.

Chen Yan immediately revealed an expression that said, "I knew I was right, I've seen right through you."

Seeing this, Park In-jae said irritably, "Don't talk about me like that, you also date female idols."

"cough"

Chen Yan coughed lightly, picked up his water glass and took a sip, but did not refute.

Because that bastard Park In-jae wasn't wrong either.

The meat sizzled on the grill, and the two continued to eat and chat.

After putting a bite of the side dish into his mouth, Park In-jae looked at Chen Yan.

"By the way, why did you suddenly decide to join Running Man?"

"I heard that Ji-eun was a guest, and I was indeed a bit interested, so I agreed."

"Oh, but you really do have a knack for variety shows. I watched the show too, and it was really interesting. I heard that this episode's average ratings increased by more than 5%, and the whole station is talking about it."

This episode of Running Man was indeed very popular and generated a lot of buzz. Even now, people are still discussing the show and making jokes about it from time to time.

Park In-jae then clicked his tongue again.

"Tsk, Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-a, Choi Sulli, IU, Bae Suzy, this lineup is really impressive. It's just missing Jessica and Sunny, otherwise your whole family would be there."

"I didn't expect the production team to invite so many people, and I only found out that Taeyeon and Yoona were guests after I arrived at the venue."

Park In-jae nodded, picked up a piece of freshly grilled meat with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

"But you're really something, kid. These people went on the show together and nothing happened. In fact, they got along quite well. I was stunned when they teamed up in the swimming pool."

Chen Yan smiled slightly upon hearing this, but remained silent.

It's not that he's amazing; it's that Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah can keep the others in check.

Neither of them had any intention of arguing; they both planned to live a peaceful and stable life, which is why they have the harmony they have now in their family.

For a truly devoted scumbag to avoid trouble in his backyard, it's because someone in his backyard can keep the others in check, and everyone in the backyard knows how to behave appropriately.

After swallowing the grilled meat in his mouth, Chen Yan suddenly remembered something and looked at Park In-jae with a smile:
"Oh right, I haven't officially congratulated you on your promotion to PD of Inkigayo yet. Let's have some water instead of wine, congratulations."

As mentioned before, the original PD of "Inkigayo" will be leaving the show in October due to personnel changes.

Park In-jae and another assistant PD were the two candidates to take over as PD. The station assigned them to be in charge of the program for one month each, and the one with the better overall performance would become the new PD of "Inkigayo".

The results came out recently, and Park In-jae's overall performance was better, so he will replace the original PD. He has been busy with the handover process and is now the new PD of "Inkigayo".

"Harmful"

Park In-jae smiled and waved his hand, raising his glass to clink with his: "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you. The episode you were on stage had very good ratings, which allowed me to slightly beat the other side."

"I won't say anything polite. I'll definitely make arrangements for any artists you work with to promote their music in the future. I remember Suzy and the others are making a comeback on the 6th, right? Don't worry, I'll make all the arrangements."

As he spoke, he remembered something and raised an eyebrow at Chen Yan.

"And I should congratulate you in advance, great producer. I saw the Melon Music Awards voting, you're a shoo-in for the award."

Park In-jae was referring to the Melon Music Awards, which started voting on November 1st, and the Best Producer award was among the categories.

Among the music producers who participated in the selection, Chen Yan's votes were overwhelmingly in the lead, firmly holding the top spot.

Based on the current trend, it's almost a certainty that he'll win the award.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Chen Yan smiled upon hearing this and clinked glasses with Park In-jae again.

He naturally followed the Melon Music Awards voting, and his chances of winning were indeed very high.

But compared to that, his goal is to win the Golden Disc Award for Best Producer.

Park Jin-young's side is already making arrangements, and in a while, he will accompany Park Jin-young to visit some members of the awards committee.

After putting down their cups, the two continued eating.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that the two of them put down their chopsticks.

Picking his teeth with a toothpick, Park In-jae casually glanced at Chen Yan, who was looking down at his phone with a smile on his face.

He blinked and asked with a teasing smile, "Which family member sent you this message?"

"Oh, Soojung."

Chen Yan lowered his head to reply to the message, saying a few words aloud.

"Oh, it's Krystal."

Park In-jae nodded subconsciously, but the next second, he suddenly stopped picking his teeth, turned his head sharply to look at Chen Yan, and raised his voice a few decibels.

"Krystal?! Jung Soo-jung?! Krystal?!"

Chen Yan looked up at him and blinked.

Under his gaze, he nodded slowly.

"if not?"

Park In-jae opened his mouth, looking somewhat dazed, and the toothpick in his hand involuntarily fell onto the dining table.

What did that bastard just say?!

Krystal Jung is now part of the family?!

He realized what was happening, raised his finger and pointed at Chen Yan, his finger trembling slightly.

Birth, birth!

You even... Jung Soo-jung, you...
This is a JK (high school girl)!
"Chen Yan, you really deserve to die!"
