Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 60 Increasingly Vicious (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"As expected, the contract has been signed, but Ms. Min is demanding more rounds of auditions to select new talent. How long is she planning to hold out?"

As Chen Shijun looked at some of the contents of the document, he couldn't help but frown. This woman even questioned Su Chengzhen's idea of ​​a large group of seven people.

The excuse is that there aren't enough outstanding trainees, but the project's progress is gradually regressing, even though Representative Su has already prepared the debut song.

"Perhaps they are forcing Representative Fang to make changes. I feel that Representative Fang is someone who is easily influenced."

Secretary Eun-hye was naturally unaware that Director Chen had jokingly found her a secretary as well. However, Chen Shijun also felt that when it came to venomous women, Liu Zhimin was still a junior. The cunning lady devised a scheme in the blink of an eye.

“Min Hee-jin is a bit eccentric, but she can come up with a set of ideas that seem reasonable. If you were me, or if you were Bang Si-hyuk, how would you choose to restrain this woman?”

He leaned back as far as he could, and Eunhye, understanding his intention, loosened her belt. Sometimes, this is where value is demonstrated. Fortunately, the executive chair was custom-made at a high price, and thankfully, Chen Shijun wasn't a very obese person.

While pressing her weight onto his body, she tightly hugged Chen Shijun's shoulders, but her mind was still on what Chen Shijun had instructed her to do, and she came up with an idea in just a few breaths.

“Director Chen, I…I have a plan that can easily punish Min Hee-jin at any time.”

Chen Shijun hadn't expected this guy to come up with such a scheme so suddenly, so he paused his actions. But the female secretary blushed and bit her boss's ear tightly.

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, you really are resourceful, worthy of being my little Zhuge Liang."

Sometimes, thinking about problems from the perspective of gratitude can lead to different solutions. After all, I am a proper college student, and my work has been influenced by my own experiences.

"That's not difficult, but the tools are hard to find. We need to find a trustworthy trainee."

Chen Shijun was a little confused, but the guy was still keeping him in suspense. He couldn't help but slap Tingqiao hard across the face, the loud sound filling the office.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me! I'll talk! Isn't there a rumor about Min Hee-jin smelting aluminum and copper? We can make a fuss about that."

The secretary seemed to enjoy this moment, this moment that Chen Shijun had been looking forward to, and quickly came up with a rough implementation plan for her idea.

“We can train a trainee who is loyal to us, and then have him testify in front of the media, accusing Min Hee-jin of sexual assault. We can prepare some evidence in advance, and then…”

Chen Shijun's gaze was stern. Without needing to say anything more, he knew that Min Xizhen would probably be in deep trouble by then.

Trial by public opinion is irreversible; the public will presume guilt from those who question it, and even if the law cannot convict them, the label of suspect will remain in the public's mind.

Moreover, this woman may not be innocent at all. Judging from those clues, even if she hasn't taken any action, she still has bad intentions.

After all, he's a criminal with a criminal record. I believe that if something like this really happened, even people who know him would think twice. I feel that this guy is capable of doing such a thing.

"The difficulty of this matter lies in how to obtain a trainee who is completely devoted to us. So I think we can use two strategies in parallel, as I suggested last time: first, set up a trap to get that trainee involved, and then... Director Chen, you didn't have this planned all along, did you?"

Secretary Li's eyes widened with delight. It turned out that although Director Chen said no, his actions betrayed him, and he had already begun to put his plan into action.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, and I didn't have such thoughts."

Seeing that Eunhye was already adding drama to her story, Chen Shijun had no choice but to deny it helplessly. However, the girl was immersed in "being in sync" with Director Chen, even calling it "following the wise ruler in white robes." "You girl, you are too insidious and vicious. You are trying to kill Min Hee-jin. If that day ever comes, you will definitely be her nemesis."

However, these thoughts are just that—thoughts. Min Xizhen has only made him aware of a slight danger; it's far from the point of a complete falling out, much less the point of trying to destroy him.

Secretary Eunhye's words about killing her were not only insidious and vicious, but also ruthless.

"How could someone like her die? She's the kind of person who would never fight back. You don't know that women understand women best."

Secretary Li didn't care at all whether the middle-aged woman lived or died. She just offered some countermeasures based on her own ideas. As for whether to use them or not, the key was still Chen Shijun.
However, over the years she felt she had come to understand Chen Shijun; if there was a compelling reason to use him, he would pull the trigger without any hesitation.

Poor Xiao Chi probably had no idea that Secretary Li was already eyeing her; she just stared blankly at some of the newly joined trainees.

"That girl seems so arrogant. She always has a sour face. I heard she's even younger than us."

Jiang Xielin, a newcomer, was filled with unease as she underwent Ms. Min's test. This seemingly unapproachable woman turned out to be quite formidable in reality.

"Don't talk nonsense. I think she dances very well, and I heard she got in because of her singing talent. She might be a strong contender."

Of all the trainees, this Vietnamese girl was the one she was closest to, so Xiaochi quickly told her not to say anything carelessly.

After all, she was someone who knew some of the inside story and that Ms. Min was not satisfied with most people.

It's easy to see why they wouldn't conduct global auditions and recruit trainees so frequently if they were satisfied with their existing trainee team.

In other words, a large portion of the members in the future group may have just joined or not yet joined the company, and the trainees who have been together day and night will most likely have to have a farewell dinner.

This feeling has been especially strong lately. Everyone isn't stupid, so naturally they've all noticed it. Some who feel hopeless about debuting are already preparing for their future.

Everyone was quite young. For example, when Xiao Ji was her age, Liu Zhimin had not yet joined SM.

For many, the decision to start over is not difficult, and it is safe to assume that the current trainee group will soon undergo a reshuffle.

They might be passively laid off, or they might actively try their luck at other companies. Perhaps in the future, we'll run into these friends on music shows, or we might never have any contact again.

Chen Shijun felt that Xiaochi was a reliable girl, whose maturity even far surpassed that of Liu Zhimin, who was several years older, and who possessed extraordinary leadership and resilience.

If there's a downside, it's that it lacks a bit of an overbearing, domineering aura and the ability to create a lively atmosphere. Although it's quite energetic in private, it lacks a certain intimidating presence.

"I'm really looking forward to our debut. I don't know when that will be. These days are just torture."

Koike couldn't bear to watch the Vietnamese girl being so impatient after only a few months in the company. Although the training time for trainees has been greatly shortened now, it's not like they can debut just by being casual.

Seeing the encouraging look in Ms. Min's eyes, Fan Yuxin quickly pulled her head down and bowed. She originally thought that Ms. Min's method of sometimes encouraging and sometimes scolding was not a problem, but when she met a good leader like Director Chen, the difference was constantly becoming apparent.
