Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 202 The Brainless Child
"I'll have to work with Min Hee-jin again. That bitch is definitely a bad guy. Xiao Chi is doomed if she goes to her company."

Secretary Li is a vengeful woman after all; she hasn't forgotten the humiliation that middle-aged woman inflicted on her, and she will definitely take care of Min Hee-jin's farewell performance if she gets the chance.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When the new label is established, she will just be the manager of the label."

Bang Si-hyuk had great faith in Ms. Min's abilities and was also quite confident in his own leadership skills. However, even so, he left Chen Shi-jun behind in the hope of keeping Min Hee-jin in check.

After all, with the departure from Source Music, the new label is destined to be managed by Min Hee-jin. To prevent her from becoming uncontrollable, BIG HIT, or rather, the future HYBE, must become the absolute controlling shareholder. Such a veto power can fundamentally prevent her from doing anything that would harm the interests of the parent company.

Chen Shih-Chun, as the representative of HYBE's interests and will, exercises voting rights, especially at the board level, in reviewing and approving the company's major business plans and financial budgets.

They were also required to closely monitor the company's operations, ensure that the development direction was in line with the parent company's overall strategic direction, and report any abnormal situations.

After all, information channels are extremely important. In the past, there have been instances where subsidiaries prevented their parent companies from obtaining accurate financial and operational information, creating an information black box.

Chen Shijun's suggestion was more complex, requiring that important media relations and public relations activities be centrally coordinated by the parent company, and that the trainees' training system also be included in unified management.

At Fang Shihe's behest, a relatively clear exit and share repurchase mechanism was even proposed, and the exit paths for the two shareholders, Chen Shijun and Min Xizhen, were agreed upon, which made the middle-aged woman quite dissatisfied.

"Actually, she's a middle-aged woman with a mental illness, who looks hideous and is vicious. She's jealous of you, a beautiful, tall, sunny, cheerful, and kind-hearted young girl."

Chen Shijun solemnly analyzed for this woman why Min Xizhen had targeted her back then, completely omitting the fact that it was because of hatred extended to everything related to her.

"Isn't there a rumor that she likes little girls? I think it might be true. You know, this kind of woman looks like a bad person."

Eunhye spread rumors and slanders against that woman, unaware that Min Hee-jin also hated Chen Shijun and harbored resentment over the failure of the witchcraft plot.

"Fang Shihe is such a stubborn person. Even at this point, he still wants to find someone to restrain me. This Chen Shijun is just too difficult to deal with."

It's not just about subscribing to some shares; more importantly, it's about exercising Big Hit's voting rights. This situation makes it difficult for her to act independently in the board's resolutions, let alone have any extra ideas.

In her distress, Min Hee-jin once again turned to witchcraft, attempting to use divination to extricate herself from her predicament.

"This guy is like a persistent ghost, and he's very methodical in his actions. I have to find a way to deal with him, or he'll definitely ruin my plans."

Faced with the shaman in front of her, Min Hee-jin asked him to continue thinking of ways to help her, to see if there was any vicious witchcraft she could use.

"Seriously, I've already apologized, what more do you want from me! I'm so angry, none of these guys are any good."

In Min Hee-jin's accusations, from Fatty Fang to Su Cheng-zhen to Chen Shi-jun, there wasn't a single good person among them. They were all villains who bullied the female lead and should all go to hell.

"But the key point is that, according to the envisioned structure, Chen Shijun is a crucial figure, and it is often impossible to get rid of his constraints."

The shaman, who was younger than Min Hee-jin, was no fool. He wanted to make a fortune through this woman, but he certainly didn't have the ability to harm anyone.

"I've already forgiven his rudeness, what more do you want from me? If sleeping with him could solve the problem, that would be simple! Why don't you cast a spell on me?" Even Min Xizhen knew that Chen Shijun couldn't possibly have such a heavy taste. Look at the female secretary next to him, she was so beautiful, well-proportioned, and young.

The witch over there curled her lip in disdain. What nonsense! Chen Shijun may be wearing glasses in the photo, but he's not blind.

If you have such skills, why are you still here bragging and scamming you out of this little bit of money? But your mental health issues really need to be addressed. You should see a doctor for a proper check-up, and maybe you should try electroconvulsive therapy or something.

People will just think you're crazy if you say something like that. It's like grabbing someone's arm and yelling "sexual harassment"—nobody would believe you.

In the wizard's opinion, it would be better to seduce Fang Shihe. Perhaps a spark could fly between a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman, and then Fang the Fat could be used to get rid of Chen Shijun.

However, he couldn't be so blunt, since he still wanted to extort money from her, so he subtly dampened her unrealistic ideas.

Fortunately, Min Hee-jin also knows what reality is, and it's more like a joke. However, Chen Shi-jun's threat is already imminent and cannot be ignored.

“I think if you want to keep Chen Shijun in check, you should work on Fang Shihe. Didn’t you say you trust your abilities? Use Chen Shijun’s lack of expertise as an excuse to try to gain more control of the new company.”

To deal with this woman, the wizard also offered some suggestions, such as the possible military service wave that BTS might face, which would prevent the legendary group from performing as a complete unit to some extent.

This is also what Bang Si-hyuk is most worried about. Although the company's transformation has entered a new stage, its dependence on BTS has only increased.

Under these circumstances, being able to field a strong and capable team to take on the responsibilities of being the company's mainstay is something that Fatty Fang has always dreamed of.

Under these circumstances, betting on Min Hee-jin's abilities doesn't seem impossible. The outcome is still uncertain, and it's open to discussion how much control one can gain and how little restraint one will face.

"But if the other party launches Project S, it will inevitably take away some resources that originally belonged to Project N. When I left SM Entertainment to join Big Hit, this was what Bang Si-hyuk promised me."

Thinking about this, I still feel indignant. If things continue at this pace, it's uncertain who will be the first girl group to debut, but I've already delayed my own debut.

At that time, no one remembered that the group had debuted and then disbanded quickly, and its members had become test subjects for the "prison-style idol" experiment.

“If that’s the case, let them debut first. Although they can’t be Big Hit’s first girl group to debut, we can use this regret to try to get more concessions from Bang Si-hyuk.”

Although Bang Si-hyuk gave her a verbal promise at the time, no one can just keep dragging things out like that. Even if the shaman accepted Min Hee-jin's money, it doesn't make sense.

However, this conflict and disagreement can be seen as a trigger, or even a more serious one, since promises were made when the talent was poached, and the one who broke those promises first should certainly offer some compensation.

"Giving me only this many shares, without any control, makes me feel like I'm working hard while enduring disgust, like I'm doing a good deed for someone else, wasting my time raising these brainless kids."

Min Hee-jin thought these brats knew nothing and all they did was dance in front of the mirror, which made her speechless. (Original chat log quote)
