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

TE, a high-end high-rise apartment building in Jung-gu, Ulsan.

As the most expensive high-rise apartment in Ulsan, its residents are all wealthy and influential.

A living room.

Kim Ah-young, a soon-to-be high school girl, was lying on the sofa with half of her upper body slumped over.

Her firm, shapely long legs were casually draped over the back of the sofa, her arches, encased in pure white cotton socks, forming two beautiful curves.

A laptop was propped up on the carpet in front of me.

With her rapid, clicking mouse, the crops on the screen were safely stored away.

"yeah!"

Having completed her haul, she clenched her fist in triumph.

"Trying to steal my vegetables?"

"Hilarious, the people who can steal my vegetables haven't even been born yet."

Bang bang bang.

She kicked her toes happily.

The white, girlish skin on her two honey-colored thighs trembled gently.

Look down.

Her thighs disappeared into tight hot pants.

The plump, firm breasts perfectly supported the hot pants, leaving not a single wrinkle on the surface, making them a rare and perfect hot pants experience.

Whoosh.

A pure white cat pounced on it.

The little paws retracted their nails, and the pink paw pads pressed down contentedly.

The texture is soft and pleasant.

"Hey, you little rascal, get lost!"

Kim Ah-young giggled and lifted her peach-shaped head to easily flick the cat away: "You rascal, I'll give you back to Hyun-young tomorrow."

The cat was bounced off, but instead of running away, it lay lazily to one side, rubbing its face against those honey-colored thighs.

"Um?"

Kim Ah-young felt her thigh slip.

"You rascal~"

She sat up and grabbed the cat.

Unexpectedly, the little white cat was agile and nimble, easily dodging her catch and instead leading her around like a princess dog.

"What are you doing now?"

My mother peeked out from the bedroom.

She had a face mask on.

She said with obvious disdain, "Can't you just stay still? You'll fall again soon."

Kim Ah-young rushed into her mother's arms: "You should cherish the days when I can still bother you at home, because I'm going to Ulsan Arts High School tomorrow."

"Aigoo, finally school starts!"

Jin's mother patted her daughter's head with a sigh of relief: "Hurry up and let school start."

My little princess has never liked studying since she was little. She said she wanted to study art and become a painter in the future, so I enrolled her in an art school and also enrolled her in many training classes.

As it turns out, this girl's enthusiasm only lasted three minutes.

At first, I was able to attend classes on time, but later I often skipped training classes.

During the winter break before entering high school, I didn't go to the art studio even once.

I either go out with friends or stay home watching TV shows and playing games.

"With your half-hearted approach to studying, how can you expect to become a painter and hold exhibitions in the future? Don't expect to be subsidizing your family's money."

"Underestimating people."

Kim Ah-young reached down with both hands, puffing out her bulging chest: "When I become famous, I definitely won't sign autographs for you."

"You think you can become famous?"

Jin's mother's face was full of doubt: "What if we can't even support ourselves in the end?"

"I'm only 17, about to start high school, and you're already expecting me to earn money to support the family?"

Jin Yarong disagreed: "It's not like Dad can't make money."

Jin's mother showed her phone to her daughter: "Look at him, he's only sixteen months older than you, and he's already a small business owner earning a billion a month."

"Ouch~"

Kim Ah-young leaned closer: "Let me see which chaebol heir has turned a company that earns tens of billions a month into a company that earns only a billion a month."

One look, and something's not right.

Take one more look.

Is someone making billions a month by "stealing"?

The report was brief, stating that the wildly popular "Farm" was developed by a student at Seoul Arts High School and became a global phenomenon in just three months.

The developers earn a billion yuan a month from this little game!

"Is this the developer of 'Farm'?"

"That's a lie, isn't it?"

The netizens in the comments section shared the same opinion as her.

"Another shameless person trying to ride the coattails of this trend."

This mini-game has become incredibly popular since the Spring Festival, frequently dominating trending topics.

The media once referred to the social phenomenon of people being addicted to stealing vegetables and feeling uncomfortable if they don't steal vegetables for a day as "farm syndrome".

What followed was a barrage of fake news using "Farm" as a gimmick to attract clicks.

Whether this person even exists is another matter.

"Editor, your mother is a bastard."

Jin Yarong handed the phone back to her mother, forcing a sorrowful expression on her face: "Mom, listen to me, you might be at the age where you get scammed when buying health supplements~"

"You think that just because you can't do it yourself, others can't either."

Jin's mother rolled her eyes at her rebellious daughter: "Looking at him, he's the kind of smart and quick-witted STEM guy. In a few years, he'll be another Li Haizhen."

Lee Hae-jin, founder of Naver, South Korea's leading search engine.

"Putting aside whether this person even exists, do you want to check what he studied?"

Kim Ah-young understands her mother's desire for her to study hard, but that doesn't mean she'll blindly accept this kind of brainwashing tactic used to promote other people's children.

"Alright, alright, let's just pretend this person exists."

"Once I get into university in Seoul, I'll seduce him. That way, I'll kill two birds with one stone: he'll get a beautiful wife, and I'll be set for life."

"Look at your attitude. She's just young, not blind."

The mother and daughter's love-hate relationship doesn't affect their ability to sleep together at night.

The next day, Kim Ah-young went to school happily.

With a new school, a new class, and new friends, the always optimistic and cheerful girl quickly integrated into the group.

"This oppa is so stylish, he's even more photogenic than celebrities, isn't he?"

"His looks are just his least significant talent; his greatest achievement is truly starting from scratch and earning a billion a month in just three months... a billion!"

Element detection.

Kim Ah-young moved closer.

Sure enough, the female student's phone screen displayed the photo of that "virtual person" from last night.

"Wasn't it said to be fake?"

"How could it be fake?"

"His classmates and alumni have all posted photos of themselves with him, confirming that he is indeed the oppa."

Kim Ah-young remained skeptical: "This only proves that he exists, right?"

The female student said excitedly, "No, no, no, his Cyworld account has already been exposed."

"Although there is no direct evidence that he developed Farmville, his crops grew at an astonishing rate, at least 0.5 times faster than the average person."

"Even Oppa's dog is arrogant and bites people. I tried to steal vegetables a few times but got caught every time."

Someone passing by joined the conversation: "You guys haven't seen the latest trending topics yet, have you?"

"Both the JoongAng Ilbo and the Hankyoreh have published special reports on the topic, detailing Oppa's rise to fame."

"Even the president of Cybernet has come forward to verify the authenticity of the news. It is said that his homepage has been verified as the 'Father of Farming'."

The turn of events came so quickly that Kim Ah-young's mind went blank for a while.

No way, buddy, are you really the second Li Haizhen?

With two major print media outlets testifying and Cyworld officially acknowledging it, there is no longer any doubt that Han Shuo is the father of "Farm".

The popularity of "The Farm" in China needs no further explanation, and no one doubts the claim that it earns a billion yuan a month.

More and more girls gathered around, forming a small circle and chattering away.

At an age when everyone has to ask their families for money to go out, some people are already earning a billion a month on their own. They are practically national idols, right?

"A billion? Even if you gave me all that money, I wouldn't know how to spend it all!"

"Do you think it's possible that Oppa suddenly comes to Ulsan Arts High School, falls in love with me at first sight, and says he won't marry anyone but me?"

"Why you, and not me?"

"Aaaaaah~"

Han Shuo is tall, handsome, young, and rich, perfectly matching the female high school students' fantasies about the perfect opposite sex.

In just half a day, Han Seok's fan club had already appeared at Ulsan Arts High School, and a fan group had been established to collect various scattered pictures from the entire internet.

Compared to the simple admiration and adoration on campus, the attention and discussion at the societal level are significantly more intense:

Nineteen years old and earning a billion a month, what kind of superhuman is this?

To satisfy the public's curiosity and interest, a large number of media outlets gathered at the foot of the small building in Cheongdam-dong 111, hoping to interview and collect more information.

And so a strange sight appeared on this street.

SM Entertainment and Star Entertainment are located on the same street, only a few dozen meters apart.

Normally, the former is surrounded by countless media outlets and fans, but today it was deserted. On the contrary, Fanxing Entertainment was packed with people and surrounded by cameras.

Some media outlets, with their discerning perspective, published a special report on the subject:

SM Entertainment to the left, Star Entertainment to the right, all to the right!

Third floor.

Li Zhongshuo, beaming with health, greeted the reporters.

Two months ago, when Han Shuo invited him, he said he would make him an industry representative like Lee Soo-man and Park Jin-young, but he was quite skeptical at the time.

He is now incredibly grateful that he accepted Han Shuo's invitation back then.

Perhaps Star Entertainment will be the second spring of his career.

"Listen to me, everyone. Our company is newly established, and we are still a bit overwhelmed by the sudden public attention. We need some time to digest and sort things out."

"We will hold a special press conference afterward to address public concerns."

Fanxing Entertainment's response that they will reply at a later date undoubtedly indicates that everyone's trip was in vain, and they did not get the information they wanted.

But as the uncrowned king, how could a reporter possibly accept returning empty-handed?

Well-informed media outlets have learned through Seoul Arts High School and other channels that Han Seok was once a trainee at SM Entertainment and apparently even entered the debut preparation group.

Coincidentally not.

The SM Entertainment building stands just a few dozen meters away.

It's as if they're saying: No one came for nothing, no one came for nothing.

Fanxing Entertainment is a fledgling company with weak response capabilities. SM Entertainment, on the other hand, has been established for over 20 years and is still the top music and entertainment company. You can't say that you have no ability to respond, can you?

Faced with a surge of interviews, SM Entertainment stated that it had no comment.

It's already annoying every day.

I was thinking of tripping Han Shuo up when he debuted, but who would have thought he was already at another level.

Earning a billion a month?!

It's worth noting that SM Entertainment's total revenue last year was only 332 billion won, which averages out to only 27.67 billion won per month over 12 months.

In other words, Han Shuo's sudden flash of inspiration equaled one-third of SM Entertainment's more than 20 years of hard work.

This is awful, absolutely awful.

But what's even more frustrating is yet to come.

It is not yet clear to outsiders that Han Shuo is going to debut.

When this news is officially announced, it will definitely cause another sensation.

The debut of a billionaire earning a monthly income of one billion is bound to attract attention.

It is foreseeable that even if Han Shuo's debut plan is a pile of crap, a large number of netizens will still want to taste it for themselves.

In other words, Han Shuo's debut was destined to be the focus of everyone's attention and was destined to be extraordinary.

The harvest is definitely something to look forward to.

All of this should belong to SM Entertainment, but now it can only be seen but not touched.

The executives at SM Entertainment were frantic, like ants on a hot plate, and had already started having people review the terms of past contracts to see if they could squeeze out some money from them.

Han Shuo was unaware that his former employer had taken notice of him.

If he knew SM Entertainment's intentions, he would definitely apologize to Pao San in advance.

It's estimated that the commission rate for the "Running Three" event (referring to a specific type of online game) will be significantly higher.

"The first round of publicity was very effective."

Holding the compiled online comments, Li Haoyan's eyes gleamed: "Over 80% positive reviews, even higher than the President's approval rating."

Young, handsome, and rich, Han Shuo was already impeccable.

Having received his education in South Korea since childhood and having invested in and started businesses in the country, he has unusually unified the tendencies of some extreme netizens.

Even some conservative media outlets have given Han Shuo a very high evaluation.

Some have even identified him as "a model of elite education in South Korea".

In short, he was more popular than Han Yuan.

"I can't be the president anymore."

Han Shuo leaned back in his chair and turned around leisurely: "However, the position of Cultural Grand President is worth a try."

Infected by Han Shuo's spirited demeanor, everyone in the conference room wore a smile.

Li Haoyan exuded a sense of youthful exuberance, a feeling of complete control: "The first batch of the album will have 50,000 units, with an additional 5,000 units to follow. How about that?"

The stock of 5.5 albums is not considered high.

However, if this batch of albums sells out completely, Han Shuo will be able to squeeze into the runner-up position in sales for the first two months.

The only person standing in his way was veteran singer Kim Dong-ryul.

If he could ship another five thousand or so, he might even be able to defeat Kim Dong-ryul.

Of course, Kim Dong-ryul has a strong appeal. Based on his past achievements, he can sell at least another 5,000 to 10,000 albums every month.

"Let's round it up to a whole number, and then add 10,000 more."

"If they don't sell, we'll keep them for Bilibili to give away as prizes to users."

"..."

DSP Entertainment, Practice Center.

The backup dancers consisted of nine people, the Crown Project team of six, and the two trainee actors. The maknae, Kang Ji-young, was also present to tally up the accounts.

"So, that means all nine of you, plus Qri unnie, knew about this?"

"We were the only ones who came later and didn't know?"

Kang Ji-young grabbed her sister Kim Yoon-ji by the neck: "You even kept this from me, are you even human?"

Kim Yoon-ji stated that she wanted to clarify, "We only knew he was a director of the company and the actual controller behind the scenes. Who knew that the idea for 'The Farm' came from him?"

She's stumbled upon a treasure without even realizing it!

She could barely contain her smile.

"Yes, it does!"

Naza muttered, "I knew he was good, but who knew he was this good!"

Lee Juri thought to herself, "I knew it."

Oh no, I want to continue our kissing friendship.

Jiang Enhui was overjoyed.

Han Shuo is not a rich second-generation who enjoys the fruits of others' labor, but a self-made entrepreneur who built everything from scratch. He is hailed by the media as the next Li Haizhen.

She's destined for a life of happiness by working with such an entrepreneurial genius.

Kang Hanna is one of the few people who know the truth.

Faced with the fervent online and offline adoration for Han Shuo, she felt honored and couldn't help but feel a little smug:

Giving it to Han Shuo was the best decision she ever made in her life.

Han Shuo is amiable and capable, and has good relationships with everyone. The sudden revelation of his identity is more of a surprise than a shock.

"Speaking of which, the 35 yuan living allowance and dormitory benefits were probably also set by him, right?"

Naza replied firmly, "Of course."

You can disbelieve what others say, but you have to believe what that silly girl, Nazar, says.

With such generous treatment and someone like Han Shuo as their boss, they'd be laughing in their sleep.

Only one person got caught up in a brainstorming session.

Park So-yeon covered her head.

No, doesn't this mean she really got in through connections?
