Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 118 Such Great Evil.jpg

"Why do you always want to take shortcuts? Can't you work hard and rely on your own efforts?"

"Emm, no."

Jiang Enhui pressed down a bit.

What do you mean by relying on your own efforts?

Was it Park So-yeon who worked hard, or Kim Yoon-ji?

If you put in the effort, you will see results.

The fifth member of StarsRookies shouldn't be Ni Shi, but her arch-nemesis—Wen Xuan Ya.

Among all the trainees, if Moon Hyun-ah ranks second in terms of hard work, no one is qualified to be number one.

However, it was Ni Ni who was selected.

Claims that Ni Shi has a language advantage are just a smokescreen.

The truth is that Ni Shi was more proactive than Wen Xuan Ya.

Wen Xuanya, the "cargo," secretly climbed into Han Shuo's bed last Friday.

Ni Ni, being the shrewd one she is, had already seduced Han Shuo sometime during the Sunday before last, at least she spent quite a while alone with him backstage at Popular Music.

During that time, the two of them were completely unaware of how wildly they were having fun.

Therefore, everything was decided by a single word from Han Shuo.

She cupped Han Shuo's cheek in her hands, her expression alluring: "They're all working harder and harder than the last. If we're talking about who works the hardest, when will it be my turn?"

"You're even more of a loser than that good-for-nothing Naza."

"Please give me another chance, okay? Please~"

Jiang Enhui used all her strength and swung around wildly.

Han Shuo almost got drunk.

"I give up."

"So you've agreed?"

Han Shuo shook his head: "StarsRookies will be investing a lot, I can't afford to act recklessly—"

Jiang Enhui kissed him, forcefully interrupting Han Shuo.

Nothing is impossible; it's just that we haven't had enough yet.

His hands were restless.

揪揪.

Wrapped in a large peach.

Han Shuo was truly convinced.

Despite Jiang Enhui's mediocre talent in the righteous path, she is incredibly self-taught and diligently studies the crooked ways.

Even electric rocking horses have to admit defeat.

"Honey, is it okay now?"

Jiang Enhui seemed determined to keep going until she agreed.

Han Shuo patted her buttocks: "You, for other suitable projects, as long as you can participate, I will think of you more, but StarsRookies is absolutely out of the question."

Jiang Enhui expressed disbelief.

But she knew when to stop while she was ahead.

If you don't know your limits and offend Han Shuo, then you'll lose more than you gain.

"You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word!"

Han Shuo pinched the little vixen's chin and tasted her warm lipstick: "You, you, I'm about to meet a few people, and you've made me look like this—"

"Hehe, then when you meet people, they can hide in—"

"Stop!"

Han Shuo gripped his hands tightly: "Don't come up with any bad ideas."

Plump and delicious peaches.

It poured out between the fingers.

Jiang Enhui leaned on Han Shuo's shoulder like a pet, affectionately nuzzling her lover's face: "I'm thinking of you, I'm worried that you'll feel bad if you hold back your anger."

"Just use less fire."

Han Shuo wrapped his arms around the other person's waist, lifted the other person's thigh, and pressed his lips to kiss them passionately.

Not enough to relieve stress.

He looked at Jiang Enhui with annoyance: "You, don't go anywhere. Just stay in the office and wait for me. I'll be right back."

"They'll listen to you."

Jiang Enhui leaned back, supporting herself with her hands behind her. Under the pressure of gravity, her soft clothes clung tightly to her curvaceous figure.

She was wearing a pair of skinny jeans.

A plump and juicy peach-shaped butt.

I softly sank into the sofa.

Her long, slender legs were crossed and rested on Han Shuo's legs.

She lifted one little foot and stepped on the sandbag, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Just you wait!"

Han Shuo tugged at his collar and quickly left.

He wanted a quick victory.

Come back soon and punish that little vixen.

With the StarsRookies project gaining some popularity, in the past two days, people have been submitting resumes, visiting the company, or having messages relayed through industry insiders, expressing their desire to join StarsRookies.

In principle, the number of trainee slots at Fanxing Entertainment is already full, and all such requests have been politely declined.

However, when encountering promising young talents, principles can be compromised.

"Is her name Yu-bi?"

"That's right, Lee, Yu, Fei~"

Lee Yoo-bi poked her finger and wrote her name stroke by stroke in the air.

Born in 1990.

Han Shuo browsed through Li Youfei's resume while sizing her up.

Approaching eighteen, she had a chubby face full of collagen, with soft and innocent features, and was the same type of sweet girl as Zhao Youli.

"Director Han, our Yubi————"

Lee Yoo-bi's mother, Zhen Meili, carefully encouraged her daughter, saying, "She's had a dream of becoming an actress since she was little, and she's often accompanied me to film sets."

Having been in the industry for over a decade, she is fully capable of getting her daughter a job at a major company.

To give my daughter a better starting point.

On the other hand, while artists from large companies have access to more film and television resources, there is also more competition, so it's not necessarily easier for them to stand out compared to those from smaller companies.

However, Star Entertainment is one of the few emerging companies that can combine the advantages of both.

Although it has only been established for a short time, it has close cooperation with the three major television stations and can easily promote its artists to star in the dramas of the three major stations.

Furthermore, the company has a very good reputation within the industry.

There are also StarsRookies, which specifically promote newcomers.

If her own daughter were to join Star Entertainment, and with her support, she could easily reach the second tier, if not the top tier.

"Then I'll just say it directly."

Lee Yoo-bi has starred in many TV dramas in the future.

The female lead's dramas include "Scholar Who Walks the Night," while the female supporting actress's dramas include "The Innocent Man" and "Pinocchio." Overall, the supporting actress's career is longer than that of the lead actress.

The acting is typical of Korean acting; it's just passable.

Despite being in the industry for many years, he has not had a particularly outstanding representative role.

If I had to pick one, she had a performance in "The Exorcist's Meter" that was no less impressive than Chae Soo-bin's "Ah, it's so cold" after being splashed with water.

One word: very smooth.

"We can keep her and train her a couple of times," Han Shuo said, putting down his resume. "Yufei's appearance has perfectly inherited Ms. Zhen's advantages. I have no problem with that. Do you two have any other questions?"

Zhen Meili's face lit up with joy, and she said with a smile, "We just wanted to ask if Yufei has a chance to join StarsRookies?"

"It seems the StarsRookies project is more popular than I expected."

Han Seok stated that the first season of StarsRookies has ended, and the second season will not begin until the members of the first season have established themselves.

"I can't give a definite answer; it all depends on the situation."

"But once she joins our company, I promise I will carefully plan Yubi's acting career."

His attitude was very serious; he was definitely not just going through the motions.

However, Zhen Meili seemed to have other ideas: "Director Han, I've been in the industry for quite a few years and have some influence. If only our Yufei could join StarsRookies—"

Her words were brief, but the meaning was self-evident.

Isn't it just an equivalent exchange?

She intended to use her connections and resources to give Lee Yoo-bi a higher starting point.

However, Fanxing Entertainment has even stronger connections and resources than Zhen Meili.

He wouldn't give his own woman preferential treatment, so how could he possibly show favoritism for someone like Li Youfei?

Han Shuo didn't respond, but he was also making insinuations.

Zhen Meili's face stiffened.

She hadn't expected Han Shuo to be so disrespectful.

Her own daughter is beautiful and well-educated, and she's willing to protect her. What's wrong with just asking for a spot in StarsRookies?

Is this too much?

Her fervent enthusiasm cooled: "Can we have two days to think about it?"

Saying they would think about it further was actually a polite way of declining.

No matter how arrogant she is, she wouldn't be foolish enough to offend Han Shuo to death.

Han Shuo was amused.

You took the initiative to come to us, and then said you needed to think about it before you even got there.

Isn't this just making fun of me?

Do I really have a lot of time?

If it weren't for seeing you guys, I would already be a gold miner, busy searching for treasure.

He spoke coldly, pointing towards the door: "Easy!"

"Mom~"

Lee Yoo-bi was unhappy.

She understood her mother's thinking; joining StarsRookies was equivalent to entering StarsRookies' Level.

1. They can receive the highest level of resource allocation.

Maybe Han Shuo will even help carry the sedan chair.

But she didn't really care about these things.

More than whether or not she would debut, she wanted to get closer to Han Shuo.

"Let's go."

Zhen Meili smiled and greeted Han Shuo, then pulled Li Youfei away.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

After the two went downstairs, Lee Yoo-bi shook off Zhen Meili: "Didn't you see Oppa is angry?"

"Oppa, Oppa, you only have eyes for Han Seok!"

Zhen Meili said with exasperation, "No matter how good he is, what good is he if he's not yours?"

"Don't worry, with your mother's abilities, if she pushes you to Keyeast or IHQ, it will definitely be no worse than Star Entertainment. Sooner or later, Han Shuo will regret not taking you in."

Reception room.

Han Shuo crumpled up his resume and threw it in the trash.

It's a waste of his time.

He then sent Son Ye-jin a text message: "Noona, I gave them a chance, but they were only there for Stars Rookies and declined my invitation on the spot."

Zhen Meili contacted him through Son Ye-jin, who acted as an intermediary.

Otherwise, they might not even pass Li Zhongshuo's initial screening.

So what if Lee Yoo-bi is pretty?

There are plenty of beautiful people in this world, but without a truly eye-catching talent, Starry Sky Entertainment won't just open its doors to anyone.

"Is it a convenient time to take this call?"

Son Ye-jin sent a text message first, then called back, immediately apologizing: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, noona."

Han Shuo was a bit stingy to begin with, so he deliberately said a few more words.

Let's see if we can get some compensation from Son Ye-jin.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but I guess Ms. Zhen just saw that I got StarsRookies to endorse her and assumed I do this every time."

"This time it's just that StarsRookies hasn't been widely accepted yet, so I had to take a roundabout route."

"Once this project has been running for a few months, it will definitely give the industry a pleasant surprise."

"I'm sorry, Nuna, I'm sorry."

Son Ye-jin was filled with regret.

She shouldn't have been the middleman.

Han Shuo has always had a good temper, which is almost universally acknowledged. The fact that Zhen Meili could make Han Shuo so angry means that she really angered him.

"It's not like not joining StarsRookies makes you a loser and will be abandoned by the company—" Han Shuo seemed to be really into it: "Never mind, never mind."

"I'm sorry I caused you trouble this time. I'll treat you to a meal next time to apologize."

Han Shuo asked, "Just once?"

Like coaxing a child, Son Ye-jin said gently, "Anytime is fine, I'll listen to you."

"Okay then."

"You, your temper flares up quickly, but it also subsides just as fast."

A small waiting room.

A slightly chubby girl held a coffee cup in both hands, lost in thought.

She was very nervous.

I wonder what kind of outcome awaits her?

If I'm not selected, I should just go back to my hometown.

Perhaps she wasn't destined for that fate.

But can she really go back?

Since participating in a TV talent show and becoming a trainee, she trained for two or three years and almost debuted as a member of the girl group Five Girls.

How full of youthful vigor they were back then!

She still wanted her parents to be proud of her.

As a result, the company fell into operational difficulties, the debut project failed, and all five members, including her, became abandoned pawns, living in constant fear.

But that's not all that's upsetting.

Last year, Kim Yoo-bin, one of the five members, was invited to join Wonder Girls, and the group subsequently rose to fame with their song "Tel I Me".

It became a viral sensation.

Following closely behind, Choi Ji-na, Yang Ji-won, and Kim Yoo-jin were successively signed by other companies.

She was left all alone with nowhere to go.

Occasionally, she would receive calls from relatives and friends from her hometown, who would keep asking her when she would debut, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.

She'd rather be dead than go back to her hometown looking so dejected.

"Jeon Hyosung i~"

Someone pushed the door open and entered.

"arrive!"

Jeon Hyosung suddenly stood up: "Is it my turn?"

"Come with me."

She quickly caught up with the female employee.

The female employee was quite helpful: "Our director seems to be in a bad mood. Be quick-witted and do whatever you're told. Don't make excuses."

Is Han Shuo still in a bad mood?

Doesn't that mean she's finished?

The sudden information made Jeon Hyo-sung's heart sink: "I understand."

After the female employee knocked on the door for her, she pushed the door open and entered.

"Jeon Hyo-sung?"

"Yes."

Jeon Hyo-sung nervously clasped his hands together.

Han Shuo was handsome, had a friendly attitude, and a smile on his face, so you couldn't tell he was in a bad mood, but she was almost crying.

"I participated in a TV talent show, was in the same class as Gain, and did very well. I also trained for almost three years —"

Han Shuo flipped through the resume: "Your qualifications are quite good. Warm up and just pick any dance to show me your dancing skills."

Jeon Hyosung will be the leader of Secret in the future, one of the nine more well-known girl groups that debuted in 2009.

The group's development was promising, and Jeon Hyosung's solo activities featured several songs with excellent stage performances. Unfortunately, they ran into K-pop's notorious exploitative company.

They were tripped up by a contract termination lawsuit.

"Would an impromptu dance to 'The Pain of Death' be acceptable?"

This was a choreography that Jeon Hyo-sung practiced all night, hoping to please Han Seok.

"Okay, let me know when you're ready."

Han Shuo crossed his arms and propped up his chin.

The locking choreography of "Pain Like Death" emphasizes power, agility, and clean, crisp movements.

Wouldn't it be amazing to have such a wonderful figure as Jeon Hyo-sung?

"Director, I'm ready."

Does the heart need accompaniment?

"Thank you for your help."

Han Seok played music for Jeon Hyo-sung.

As the rhythmic music started, Jeon Hyo-sung went all out.
