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

Han Shuo thought to himself, "How did I, a mere spectator, suddenly become the gossip myself?"

"President Li, what do you mean by this?"

"When did I say I was going to save Kara?"

Lee Ho-yeon retorted, "You provided Kara with two hit songs and proposed a comeback and rebirth concept. How can that not be considered saving them?"

Han Shuo accepted it readily: "That makes sense."

aside.

Ji Zhonghua glanced coldly at Han Shuo: "Who is he?"

"What ability does he have to save Kara?"

"Of course Director Han has the ability to save Kara."

Seeing his old rival Gil Jong-hwa suffer a setback, Kim Ki-young felt a sense of satisfaction, as if he had finally gotten his revenge.

His seven-member girl group lagged behind Ji Zhonghua's four-member girl group. After their debut was delayed, several core members left, and the group nearly fell apart.

This will tarnish his prestige.

And it is suspected that Ji Zhonghua was behind it all.

It can be said that the two are now irreconcilably opposed and cannot coexist.

Having finally seized the opportunity, he didn't mind giving the other party a good taunt: "Their Starry Entertainment is a strategic partner of our company."

"Starry Sky Entertainment?"

Ji Zhonghua laughed angrily: "That newly established little company that doesn't even have a training system? What qualifications does it have to cooperate with us?"

"A small company?"

Kim Ki-young reacted as if he'd heard a hilarious joke: "You call a company that can pull out over a billion won to partner with four TV stations a small company?"

"More than a billion?"

"Four television stations?"

Ji Zhonghua recognized each individual character, but when they were put together, they were like a cryptic script that he couldn't understand.

What kind of cooperation could a small company like Fanxing Entertainment possibly have with a TV station?

They actually want to spend over a billion?

But Kim Ki-young, a petty man who had gained power, answered all his questions.

"Let me tell you, they're the developers of 'Farm,' making a fortune every day."

"We own a video website in China that specializes in Korean dramas and variety shows. Just a few days ago, we purchased more than one billion worth of video content from three local TV stations and the music channel Mnet."

As if he had been hit hard on the back of the head with a cone, Ji Zhonghua's head was buzzing and his limbs were ice cold.

Believe it or not, he had actually heard similar stories.

He has a classmate who works at a film and television production company. Yesterday, when the two had dinner together, the classmate angrily denounced a certain Chinese website for interfering with creative freedom.

How was the interference handled?

The other party said it was because of a few dirty coins.

It is said that this Chinese video website refused to pay for dramas that were suspected of defaming China's image and refused to purchase Korean dramas produced by their production company.

He then jokingly retorted to his old classmate:

Since they did something stupid during filming, they should now take responsibility for their mistakes.

Unexpectedly.

The very next day, he was sanctioned by the same company.

He turned his gaze to Li Haoyan to confirm the matter.

Li Haoyan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with a serious expression.

He deliberately excluded Ji Zhonghua from Han Shuo's album production and intentionally separated Ji Zhonghua from the girl group Kara, which was a deliberate attempt to put pressure on her.

Ji Zhonghua is a capable guy.

However, she was arrogant and domineering, and had become too powerful to control. She would often outwardly comply with his arrangements as the president but inwardly defy him, which made him deeply dislike her.

In other words, his health was deteriorating, and the company simply had no one else available.

Otherwise, given his violent temper, he would have driven Ji Zhonghua away long ago.

Now that the company has Han Seok as an external ally, with the two forming a strategic partnership, and internally supported by figures like Kim Ki-young, it's time to expel some unstable factors.

He glanced at Ji Zhonghua: "Zhonghua, if you have any opinions, you can give me feedback privately. Don't let others laugh at our company today."

Ji Zhonghua didn't know how he got out of the meeting room.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already back in the boardroom.

He immediately called his old classmate to confirm the truth of the matter.

"What 'Farm' or what Star Entertainment? I don't know anything about them."

"But the other party's director is indeed very young, and his surname is indeed Han."

That's correct.

With confirmation from three parties, he has completely resigned himself to his fate.

He had mistakenly thought that Starry Entertainment was some newly established small company, and even considered poaching a few of their trainees to put into Kara.

What will he use to intercept it?

Their financial strength is so strong that they even used money to break into the doors of several television stations, directly influencing the atmosphere of the Korean drama industry.

He's going to use his head to fight back?

What made him feel even more like he had fallen into an ice cave was what role Li Haoyan played in all of this, and how he would deal with him after having such a powerful outsider.

Previously, he was fearless because he relied on the fact that Li Haoyan had no one else to use, plus his own hard work and great achievements.

Now that he has barged into the conference room and offended the bigwig of Fanxing Entertainment, he has publicly violated workplace taboos. Li Haoyan may take this opportunity to suppress him or even kill him.

In the conference room.

"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

Li Haoyan's face showed bitterness.

Letting Ji Zhonghua run wild undermines the other party's prestige, giving others a legitimate excuse to deal with him.

However, this undoubtedly brought the internal conflicts within the company into the open.

This has caused some people who have long been dependent on Ji Zhonghua to feel uneasy. The most serious consequence is that some people may leave with him and start their own businesses.

However, on the other hand, destruction is necessary for construction.

Only by taking this opportunity to remove the cancerous elements within the company can DSP Entertainment usher in a brand new future.

"It's not that I'm embarrassed, it's just that when President Li suddenly pointed at me, I almost thought I had done something wrong that caused you to misunderstand."

What Han Shuo actually wanted to say was that he almost thought his plan had been exposed.

In the future, after Li Haoyan withdrew from management due to illness, his cheap second wife continued to cause trouble, eventually forcing DSP Entertainment to sell itself to another company.

Rather than letting someone else benefit, it's better to let him benefit.

This is one of the reasons why he chose to collaborate with DSP Entertainment.

"It's not a misunderstanding, I believe you can save Kara."

Li Haoyan looked directly at Han Shuo, his eyes full of admiration.

"Just like the platform Bilibili that you envisioned, I thought it would go through some twists and turns, but who would have thought that you would actually manage to set it up."

"In the future, DSP Entertainment will follow in your company's footsteps and fully integrate into Bilibili."

"I hereby promise that all the artists in our company will have all their existing music videos and practice videos uploaded to the platform."

As a veteran music management company, DSP Entertainment boasts a portfolio of artists who were once incredibly popular and trendsetting, including Sechs Kies, FIN.KL, Click-B, and SS501.

Kara 2.0 will be released soon.

With DSPs taking the lead in joining, it's believed that Bilibili's progress in inviting entertainment companies to join will be greatly accelerated.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

After communicating with DSP Entertainment about the production of the music videos, Han Seok immediately arranged for Lee Joong Seok to announce the female leads for both music videos.

"Kim Yoon-ji stars in 'Trap,' and Lee Ji-hyun stars in 'Fiction.'"

Kim Yoon-ji clenched her fist and waved it.

Li Zhixian was secretly pleased.

The rest of the people could hardly hide their disappointment.

Among them, Jiang Enhui experienced the greatest psychological shock.

No, on what grounds?

What kind of charm does Kim Yoon-ji possess that she can't see, allowing her to be selected for StarsRookies and become the female lead in a music video?

She couldn't help but recall Kim Yoon-ji's impetuous behavior at Han Seok's birthday party.

Perhaps it couldn't be...

Once an idea emerges, all sorts of clues become obvious.

It seems that since returning home last Sunday, Kim Yoon-ji has returned home four times in just over a week.

Even though her home is in Seoul, she goes home so frequently. Is she really going home, or is she going to someone else's house? It's really hard to guess.

In other words, the other party used back channels.

Jiang Enhui was unconvinced.

She wants to leave through this back door too.
