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

Chapter 123: Every time his popularity soars, he rewards himself with a woman?

Seocho-dong, a BBQ fried chicken restaurant.

Han Seok and five members of StarsRookies visited the store.

This was an agreement reached with BBQ when the endorsement contract was signed, stipulating that all endorsers must participate in at least one offline interactive event at the store.

The six of them will be working as cashiers at the store for about an hour.

Kang Hanna had part-time experience as a convenience store cashier, so she was given the important task of handling the main cashier duties, while Kim Yoon-ji and Ni Ni were responsible for assisting and making change.

Park So-yeon and Shin Chung-joo were responsible for introducing the store's signature items.

Han Shuo was in charge of coordinating the work.

Well, his main job is to serve his fans.

Both Bilibili Planet and BBQ Ruicao Store announced his schedule in advance, and fans who came to support him and passersby who came to join in the fun were already lining up in long queues.

The queue stretched from the store entrance all the way around the street.

It's like a snake that's eaten its own tail.

Those who know will know that it was just a few of them coming to support the BBQ, but those who don't might think that this fried chicken shop has developed some amazing dish.

There are at least several hundred people.

Based on an average spending of 20,000 yuan per person, this translates to a turnover of nearly 10 million yuan.

If they come a few more times, they might even earn back their endorsement fees from BBQ.

Didn't you see the store manager standing by the side the whole time, his face almost frozen from smiling?

"Let's begin."

A separate passage was set up outside the store to separate customers who came specifically for him. As he nodded in acknowledgment, the staff began to let him through.

A large flow of people.

The first to enter were five or six college students.

It was someone I knew.

She is Shin Hye-sun, whom I met briefly at the Gangnam store last time.

"Oppa, yes, yes."

Encouraged by her girlfriends, Shin Hye-sun went straight to him as soon as she entered the room and shouted out a secret signal that only they could understand.

Han Shuo leaned against the cashier counter and asked with amusement, "You specifically lined up first just to say that?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

Shin Hye-sun's face beamed with a happiness no less than that of someone who had just relieved their constipation: "I can finally tell you in person, and I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Last time, when I joined in the fun and asked for a photo, Han Shuo asked me if I was his fan.

She followed her heart and told the truth.

This was a small way of humiliating Han Shuo.

However, Han Shuo did not hold it against her. Instead, he paid for their bill and then asked an employee of Fanxing Entertainment to give them a recharge card worth 100,000 yuan.

This became a thorn in her side.

She dreams of going back to that day and answering it properly again.

Now my wish has finally come true.

"I haven't even asked yet!"

"Then ask."

Han Seok stared into Shin Hye-sun's eyes and asked, "Hye-sun, are you my fan?"

"Inside!"

Shin Hye-sun responded with great emotion, as if accepting a marriage proposal.

"What would you like to eat?"

Han Shuo turned around and beckoned Park So-yeon and Shin Yoon-joo to come forward, asking the two to introduce the restaurant's menu to the group.

Park So-yeon and Shin Yoon-joo are both making their debut in the StarsRookies project and don't have much fame yet. Introducing them to this job will allow them to interact with fans as much as possible.

With everyone's close cooperation, the first major order was successfully completed.

The store manager, who had been watching the whole thing, breathed a sigh of relief.

The people at Fanxing Entertainment are more reliable than I expected.

He thought the group would be in a bit of a flurry of activity.

I didn't expect to get into the zone so quickly.

It seems the other party can serve more fans, and today's store revenue figures should be quite impressive.

however.

He soon stopped laughing.

The kitchen staff said they couldn't finish frying them all, there was simply no way they could finish.

The cashiers aren't tired, but the kitchen staff are already exhausted.

Instead of decreasing, the number of people in the queue increased, like a coiled snake, with the second circle of people circling around the corner.

Feed it.

It's not like we won't be able to eat our fried chicken tomorrow, so why are you all lining up like this?

He consulted Han Shuo, "Director Han, shouldn't we inform the fans in advance so that those who might not be able to get a spot can go back early?"

The cash register was working fine, but the service couldn't keep up.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Han Shuo disagreed with directly taking the lead.

Regardless of the motivations of those who line up, since they're there because of him, he should give everyone an explanation.

"Manager Zheng, have someone go around the queue and explain that we're already at our capacity for today's service, and try to stop the queue from getting any longer."

"Secondly, you should quickly calculate how many more people you can accommodate."

"In principle, I hope we can serve all the customers in line, even if our service time exceeds the limit."

Manager Zheng immediately knew that Han Shuo was dissatisfied with the store's handling of the situation.

In fact, if we were in his shoes, he would also be very unhappy.

A perfectly good offline event ended up being a disappointment.

Making a large number of people queue for nearly an hour during mealtime only to be told in the end that there is no fried chicken left is just playing with them.

It might even affect Han Shuo's reputation.

But who could have imagined that Han Shuo's influence would be this amazing?

It can attract a massive customer flow of thousands of people to a store in no time.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No problem, I'll contact the company and arrange for some people to come over. I'll make sure everyone doesn't make a wasted trip."

To accommodate the customers who were still in line, Han Shuo specially arranged for water to be delivered to everyone.

The group also divided the work among themselves.

Instead of staying at the cashier, they went out to interact with all the fans and passersby in line and take photos.

With such an exaggerated number of visitors, the offline interaction, which was originally scheduled to take one hour, was stretched to four hours.

After finishing their work for the day, almost everyone was exhausted.

Han Shuo's physical strength was already extraordinary, and his overall condition was relatively good, except that he was a little thirsty and drank more than half a bottle of water in one go.

"Director Han, everyone, thank you for your hard work today."

The BBQ director smiled apologetically.

Their inadequate preparation today almost caused Han Shuo a lot of trouble.

"We misjudged the situation this time, which caused you all extra workload. On behalf of BBQ, I would like to apologize to you all."

After saying this, he and his team of managers bowed to Han Shuo in apology.

There are hundreds of fried chicken brands of all sizes in China. How can BBQ stand out from the crowd, expand its brand awareness, and attract consumers?

Inviting celebrities to endorse products is indeed a viable approach.

However, there are very few celebrities like Han Shuo who have such outstanding appeal and can attract fans, and even families, to come and spend money.

Perhaps both Kyo-Cun and Bailijia fried chicken brands are kicking themselves.

How could they possibly reject a massive influx of traffic just to earn an extra 5000 million?

Furthermore, the five members of StarsRookies are definitely not a burden.

She successfully stood out from the crowd of idols and gained a small following simply by performing outstanding backup dances.

Once the StarsRookies project gradually rolls out, won't their popularity increase several times over?

This isn't a burden; this is clearly a rising idol.

All I can say is that hiring Han Shuo as a spokesperson was absolutely worth it.

The company is already discussing whether to try to renew his contract, so they can't let Han Seok develop a negative opinion of BBQ no matter what.

This was indeed a case of BBQ not having a proper contingency plan, and Han Shuo readily accepted their apology.

However, as partners, they have an obligation to face various unexpected challenges together. Both morally and logically, this matter should end here, and he will not pursue any further explanation.

He didn't pursue the matter further, but BBQ was quite sensible.

Fifty recharge cards with a face value of 100,000 yuan were given out.

They said they could give it to fans later.

"Then I'll accept it without further ado."

The booming performance of BBQ's Seocho-dong branch has been widely reported by the media, becoming another powerful testament to the "Hanseok era".

"Go to Mnet, and Mnet's monthly orders will double; go to BBQ, and BBQ's customer traffic will explode. Smart brands are already making calls."

Han Shuo: Enhancing brand value is as simple as breathing.

"Look at this comment, it says it's about Xiaocun and Bailijia: We were here first."

"And this one too, it's hard to say how many people will be happy about it, but some people definitely won't, right, Bailey?"

This refers to someone who previously claimed to be "Bai Li Jia" making sarcastic remarks about Han Shuo being paired with StarsRookies as a spokesperson.

At least the Xiaocun family preserved the dignity of rescheduling if this collaboration failed.

By leaking details of the cooperation to the outside world, Bailijia has almost offended Han Shuo to the point of no return.

This kind of lightning-fast reversal is most likely to stir up netizens' emotions, and there are even those who love to watch the drama and advocate for a boycott of Bailijia.

It received an overwhelming response from fans.

"What kind of 'Bai Li Jia' is this? If you don't want to cooperate, then don't cooperate. What kind of behavior is this, secretly manipulating public opinion? The fried chicken made by this kind of person would probably make you feel nauseous."

"We should have boycotted this kind of unscrupulous brand a long time ago. Our oppa is already being very ethical by not suing them."

Perhaps genuinely fearing a public boycott of the brand, Bailijia issued its first public response in several days.

The poster stated that they were not an employee of Bailijia and expressed their apologies for any inconvenience caused to the relevant parties.

However, this approach of initially burying one's head in the sand and refusing to respond, only reluctantly apologizing when the brand faces a public relations crisis, has successfully triggered a backlash.

"Stand at attention if you're going to get hit. What do you mean you're not from the Baili family? Do you think we're all fools?"

In fact, Bailijia would have been better off just staying silent than responding as it is now.

It may take many years to run a brand well, but it only takes two weeks to ruin it. That's exactly what happened with Bailijia.

Han Shuo had no interest in the fate of Bai Li's family.

Today is the day the practice room version of "If You Love Me" is released.

The entire company at Star Entertainment is paying close attention to the reaction to this new material.

Almost all of the girls gathered in Kang Hanna's dorm, quietly waiting for this new material to be released.

Kim Yoon-ji asked, "Hannah, are you nervous?"

Kang Hanna retorted, "What's there to be nervous about? Are you going to get scolded? The more they scold me, the more excited I get, okay?"

During the three weeks they followed Han Shuo to promote his music, they experienced being under the spotlight and being watched by thousands of people on stage, and have gradually adapted to this kind of life.

Everyone longs for the stage and the spotlight.

Rather than remaining unknown, being criticized is a symbol of popularity.

At 10:30 p.m., the materials were uploaded.

Fans who had already learned from Hanshuo Planet that new content would be released tonight tuned in immediately.

"Let me see what it is?"

The new material's duration is very short, only about 25 seconds.

However, the fans' response was "positive".

Once the bullet comments are turned on, they become incredibly dense.

Why?

Heartbroken.

"I can't sleep."

"Why is it this kind of thing again?"

What's going on?

Zhao Youli's heart jumped. He turned off the live comments and stared intently at the screen the whole time.

The new material appears to be a new song.

The screen lit up.

Han Seok-jung, rapping coolly, walked alongside Kang Han-na, who was strutting like a cat.

As the two met, Han Shuo made a dashing turn and stood a fist's distance behind Jiang Hanna. The two followed each other like shadows, moving their bodies in unison.

The two were very tall, their bodies moved with great force, and the distance between them was extremely ambiguous.

During the dance, Han Seok supported Kang Han-na's waist, and the two danced intimately together.

"What is this?"

Kang Hanna has a petite figure, and her curves are usually just so-so, but this time her little butt is so perky and perky that it almost touched someone.

Zhao Youli said he could not accept it.

However, the choreography was not subject to her will.

Han Seok revolved around Kang Hanna like an asteroid, his affectionate gaze following her intently.

When the two faced each other again, they both wore expressions of deep affection, as if they were truly together.

"Aaaaaah~"

She hugged the pillow and started hitting it.

It was as if he was holding not a pillow, but Kang Hanna.

She clicked play again.

The song is catchy, and the person is good-looking.

However, this bold and provocative duet infuriated her and she couldn't accept it.

The comments section shared her opinion.

"Axi, wai?!"

"Why does Oppa always like to work with these older women?"

"Kang Hanna is so skinny, she'd be too bony to sell to me, but Oppa treats her like a treasure, writing songs and choreographing dances for her!"

This is the only thing about Han Shuo that leaves fans feeling helpless.

When interacting with women, Han Shuo never seemed to have any concept of knowing when to stop.

She released two erotic music videos upon her debut, and the scene of her passionately kissing Kim Yoon-ji and Lee Qri still makes many people's eyes light up.

Now he danced an ambiguous duet with Kang Hanna again.

If Han Shuo weren't the founder of Fanxing Entertainment and the company's true leader, they could still deceive themselves into believing that everything was arranged by the company.

However, Fanxing Entertainment currently belongs to Han Shuo.

No one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

That can only mean that Han Shuo willingly interacted with these women.

Why do I reward myself with a woman every time my popularity soars?

"Oppa is young and vigorous, and Geunse couldn't escape the trap set by these old women. Maybe he was tricked into doing this kind of thing by these women."

What's even more infuriating is that there are also career-oriented fans and CP (couple) fans causing trouble.

"What are you all getting so excited about? Isn't this a perfectly normal dance? I think it's very pleasing to the eye, and I'll dance it with my wife at our wedding."

"I'm stunned! Shouldn't we be praising Oppa's amazing creative talent? Why are we always criticizing these unimportant little issues?"

"They're such a perfect match, what's the point of your objections?"
