Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 298 Should I go learn to drive?
"A precious treasure? I think it's only precious for now. What common ground could you possibly have with him? He's a fierce but brainless bastard."

After hanging up the phone, he curled his lip in dissatisfaction. That guy actually accepted his apology in such a relaxed tone. He really didn't know what he was talking about.

She, a disqualified idol, lives a life of luxury, while I, a conscientious and dedicated idol who strives to do everything well, can only eat takeout alone in my dorm. It's truly a case of God being blind.

To be honest, Dongtian herself couldn't quite explain how conscientious she was, but since she had decided that Liu Zhimin was a disqualified captain, then not dating was considered fulfilling her duty.

"Don't be so happy now. When the company finds out, they'll definitely scold you to death."

His mind drifted off to sleep, in which he was severely punished by the company and disappointed Chen Shijun for being too immature. He looked pitiful, crying and whimpering.

But then winter felt a little heartbroken. After waking up from a nap, she felt that the two of them still had some sisterly affection for each other. Although it would sometimes disappear when they hurt each other, she thought about it later and realized that they could never be completely severed.

"Director Chen, Zhimin isn't angry with me, is she? I wonder if what happened last time caused you any trouble."

Chen Shijun glanced at the naked pig-snake beside him. Its delicate body was dazzlingly white and looked plump, which made him very happy.

He patted her gently; the bouncy texture felt wonderful. The girl snuggled closer to him, then let out a soft, contented hum.

"Ji-min is not angry, nor has she caused me any trouble. You don't need to worry about that."

I heard that this "rumored girlfriend" has been joking about me a lot lately in front of Zhimin, saying things like "rumored girlfriend is half girlfriend" or something. Such teasing is harmless.

Moreover, I haven't revealed any information at all. It would be a pipe dream if that photo could recognize me. It won't cause any trouble at all.

"It's good that I didn't cause any trouble for Director Chen. After all, I'm afraid of affecting innocent people. If there's a chance, please let me apologize to him in person."

Although the man bears some responsibility, Winter says that the root of the problem lies with her stalking him, so she is willing to take 100% responsibility.

“I didn’t take it to heart at all. You don’t need to apologize to me. Maybe we’ll have a chance to meet when our new group debuts.”

Chen Shijun's words were very polite, and he seemed as easy to talk to as he appeared. In winter, I felt even more that Zhimin was also worth eating.

Even if it's just a short-term relationship, Dongtian felt that Liu Zhimin would definitely not lose out; on the contrary, she would gain a lot. Especially since older, wealthy, mature, and handsome men like him are particularly popular with young girls.

Moreover, the general educational background of people in the circle is questionable, so they are completely powerless against men like Chen Shijun who are highly educated, wealthy, and good-looking. It's basically a chaotic battle where a master is beating a novice.

Just like herself, Jimin set a benchmark ahead of her, and felt that those young artists who exchanged contact information with her in the hope of developing a further relationship were simply unbearable to look at, redefining the standard for finding a boyfriend.

"I look forward to the day I meet you and hope to sincerely apologize to you."

I wonder where Captain Jimin got to know him. Why don't I have such an opportunity? How come I'm just a trainee and I can't even get close to a man of such high caliber?
She kept telling herself that it was a gift from God. She didn't believe in God in winter, and her whole family was Buddhist. Why couldn't Buddha give her one?

……

Chen Shijun is urging Min Hee-jin to make progress with her new girl group, while Won Young is also busy. If nothing unexpected happens, she will debut in the last month of this year.

Fans didn't know the group's name, but Chen Shijun already knew it, and even the members themselves. No one could have imagined that the two most popular members would become spies. Of course, as long as Starship didn't intend to kick Yuan Ying out, it was impossible to keep it a secret from Chen Shijun.

There was more than one undercover agent; even the captain was already one of Chen Shijun's men. It's safe to say that the place was infiltrated like a sieve.

Chen Shijun felt that if his mentor really became the president, he might be able to give him a job at the National Intelligence Service, and maybe even develop a few informants in the north.

Of course, this kind of hands-on approach can happen once, twice, or three times, but not four times. So far, it has already infiltrated SM Entertainment, Starship Entertainment, and CUBE Entertainment. If its reach continues to expand, it may face resistance from the industry.

Starship has also spoken with Xiaoyuan, hoping she won't leak the company's trade secrets because of personal relationships, which is a reasonable course of action.

Therefore, Chen Shijun only kept all the information Yuan Ying and he revealed to him to himself for amusement and did not report it to the company.

Chen Shijun also needs to protect Yuan Ying, who is his most beloved younger sister. An An is also a flower in the garden, and they are far more important than anything else.

However, this team is indeed full of hidden talents, and unlike Team S, which is a combination of recycled players and a newly formed team, all members have undergone a considerable period of training, and the team composition is more reasonable.

Besides Ahn Yu-jin, who has the most senior experience and joined the company in 16 with 5 years of trainee experience, there are also Xiao Yuan and the eldest sister, Kim Chu-ju, who joined in 17. Even the youngest member has been training for two and a half years.

In the global talent show held in Japan in 2018, she successfully recruited a 1.7-meter-tall loli. I wonder which one is better, her or the happy big dog she brought back from the Netherlands.

Chen Shijun actually had confidence in the girl who had been practicing ballet for 15 years, while the biggest weakness of Team S was that they didn't have a lead singer, but Starship happened to have one.

The girl from Jeju Island named Kim Ji-won, according to Xiao Yuan, has excellent singing skills and is also very cute with a plump and round face, leaving a very deep impression on people.

Top talents like these would be snapped up in the transfer market. Apart from idols like Wonyoung and Jimin who have the potential to become superstars, trainees with such strong functional abilities are the most sought-after.

As a result, the entire group doesn't even have a single person who can sing. If we really can't find one, there's nothing we can do but try to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

Progress on Jiang Huiyuan's side is not going smoothly. Perhaps she wanted to increase her value, but the company quickly stopped following up, and now they are in a state of mutual struggle.

Because it's not a necessity, there's a lot of room for maneuver, and even if one debut spot is cut, it doesn't seem like there would be any problem.

Ultimately, based on the company team's predictions, S team's debut date was set for early next year, at which time they will still face some competition from JYP's new groups.

With the Monster Alien gradually losing popularity, the gorilla couldn't wait to introduce a new replacement, and the huge fan base also placed a lot of expectations on this new combination.

In other words, within six months from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, Starship's group, JYP's group, Source Music's S team, and ADOR's N team will turn the entire market into a red ocean.

……

"Unnie! What are you looking at? Are you going to learn to drive?"

Yuan Ying watched as An An was paying attention to matters related to applying for a driver's license, and curiously leaned over to ask her a question.
