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

Starry Sky Entertainment, Boardroom.

Jiang Enhui looked up at Han Shuo: "Is my technique better, or Yoonji's?"

Han Shuo leaned back lazily on the sofa, arms outstretched, head tilted back as he looked at the ceiling: "You need to have big capital, and she needs to be good at it."

Kim Yoon-ji truly lives up to her reputation as Kang Eun-hye's controller.

With just a slight move, he broke through the opponent's defenses.

Jiang Enhui retorted, "Your technique is better than mine?"

She couldn't argue with the claim that Kim Yoon-ji's peaches were plump and rounded; she had to admit defeat.

But Kim Yoon-ji doesn't have her resources, so how could she possibly provide a better experience? Isn't the bigger the thing, the better the experience?

"You're just biased towards her," she said, looking somewhat aggrieved. "You're just biased towards me..."

Bang bang bang.

There was a rhythmic knocking sound coming from outside the door.

This startled Jiang Enhui.

She held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

This also sounded the charge for Han Shuo.

He patted Jiang Enhui's pretty face apologetically.

"Who is it?"

He arrived at the door.

Outside is Jeon Boram, the girl with the big eyes.

His expression remained unchanged: "Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just..."

Although Jeon Boram is the oldest among the current trainees, perhaps due to family background and height, she has never been very outgoing.

They often lack their own opinions.

At this point, a guide is often needed.

If the direction you guide her in happens to align with her wishes, it will be a tremendous surprise for her.

Han Shuo asked tentatively, "Is it about your birthday?"

Jeon Boram was somewhat surprised, her small mouth slightly open, and she looked up at Han Seok.

How could you guess so accurately?

Does being tall mean you're intelligent?

"It seems so," Han Shuo said as he walked out of the office, gesturing for the other person to follow. "I'm going to take a shower in the changing room anyway, let's talk as we walk."

Jeon Boram's birthday is tomorrow.

Her question was very simple.

She said she didn't want to take a vacation to go home, but she wanted to stay at the company or in the dormitory and celebrate her birthday with her girlfriends that night.

"May I?"

"sure."

Han Seok could probably guess what Jeon Boram was thinking.

It's nothing more than my parents getting divorced, so there's no point in going back. I might as well stay at the company and celebrate my birthday with everyone.

"Director, so tomorrow... um..."

I will get there.

"Uh-huh!"

Jeon Boram nodded happily: "Then I'm fine."

"You're alright, right?"

Han Seok called out to Jeon Boram, who was about to leave: "I have something to ask you."

Perhaps fearing that Jeon Boram might be affected in some way, Jeon's mother became overly concerned about her after the divorce, to the point that Jeon Boram is now acting like a little girl.

Their ability to take care of themselves is almost zero.

"I heard from the housekeeper that your bed is like a little kingdom, is that true?"

High emotional intelligence: like a little kingdom.

Low emotional intelligence: like a doghouse, like a pigsty.

Of course, this wasn't a complaint from the housekeeper.

They're just doing this cleaning job; they wouldn't complain to customers for no reason.

Jeon Bo-ram's hygiene wasn't that bad, just relatively sloppy.

however.

When his roommate, Lee Juri, had an elegant princess style, the visual contrast became incredibly strong, leaving a deep impression on him.

So how bad are the little girl's lifestyle habits?

Dirty clothes are usually just thrown around or onto the bed, and used items are just left lying around. They are only tidied up when it's time to clean.

This may also be part of the reason for her poor health.

Like a primary school student caught making a mistake, Jeon Boram's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

She looked down helplessly and fiddled with her fingers.

Han Shuo said earnestly, "You're going to debut as an artist someday. What if a variety show visits your dorm? Are you trying to gain popularity based on this kind of persona?"

Jeon Boram shook her head.

"How about this, I'll keep an eye on you."

Jeon Boram looked up: "Supervising me?"

"From now on, you must clean your bed and the surrounding area before leaving the dormitory every day, understand?"

"Yes."

"Including but not limited to folding blankets neatly, separating dirty and clean clothes, keeping bottles and jars in an orderly manner, promptly disposing of dirty items in the trash can, and taking photos for me afterwards."

"what?"

Even if someone's child is in college, why should they be supervised to fold their blankets?

But Jeon Boram didn't dare to contradict Han Seok: "Do we still need to take pictures?"

"We have to film it."

Han Shuo looked down at the girl and said, "I will also conduct spot checks to prevent you from cheating. If you don't clean up, I will clean up for you."

Jeon Boram was too embarrassed to ask Han Seok to help her tidy up, so she waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she could do it herself.

at this time.

Jiang Enhui secretly slipped out of the boardroom.

She was holding a bag in her hands.

Perhaps my hands were too tired, or perhaps I wasn't paying attention, but my hand slipped and the bag fell to the ground with a "thud".

Jeon Boram subconsciously turned around.

Han Shuo reached out and twisted his hands to cover for him, asking, "What kind of birthday present do you want?"

This was the first time a man of marriageable age had touched her face, making Jeon Boram blush: "No need, the company has already been very good to me."

Han Shuo joked, "How's the camera? It'll make it easier for you to take photos and check in every day."

"what?"

Just kidding, cameras are too expensive, let's use an instant camera instead.

"No need, right?"

Jeon Boram left in a daze.

She ran around the corner and leaned against the wall.

The warmth of someone still lingered on her face.

"Should I take photos of him and show them to him every day?"

She looked troubled, but felt a sense of relief inside.

I can't wait for tomorrow to come.

locker room.

Han Shuo changed "no one" to "someone" and went into the bathroom.

Just as he tilted his head back to enjoy the warm water washing his face, his back suddenly touched his face, and a pair of arms wrapped around him: "Did you let Eunhye sneak a meal again?"

Who else could it be but Kim Yoon-ji, the controller of Kang Eun-hye?

Han Shuo grabbed her thighs with both hands: "You guys are all so daring."

"Who can blame me for being so charming~"

Kim Yoon-ji immediately slapped him in the face.

The results weren't as good as Jiang Enhui's, which ultimately comes down to having less capital.

She fed Han Shuo as if it were a reward: "Now you've captivated the entire nation, and no one will be able to easily throw dirty water on you again."

The video released by Han Shuo powerfully shattered the so-called bullying rumors and established him as a glorious and dignified senior.

There's a saying circulating online now:

There are many people who are called "senior," but only Han Seok deserves to be called "senior."

"This is nothing."

Han Shuo stated that this was only the first step in the counterattack: to reverse public opinion and decisively change the situation.

at the same time.

Colleagues in the media team have been gradually guiding online public opinion, attempting to shift the blame for the smear campaign against him onto Ji Zhonghua.

This is the second step: to lure out cannon fodder from a third party as bait.

……

……

Ji Zhonghua was so angry that his limbs felt cold.

Who wants to harm him?

He failed to start his own business and is now facing claims from Han Shuo and lawsuits from both companies. How could he possibly provoke Han Shuo at this time?

He contacted the media to clarify.

Instead, he was advised: "Director Ji... no, Brother Zhonghua, listen to my advice, admit defeat. There are people outside supporting Han Shuo, so don't put up any more resistance."

"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me!"

Ji Zhonghua was so angry he almost smashed his phone.

"Damn it!"

Ironically, netizens actually believed he had a motive for committing the crime.

Countless foolish netizens firmly believe this argument and vehemently condemn him.

With everyone's help, they managed to propel him to the top of the real-time trending lists on the three major portal websites, giving him a real taste of what it means to be incredibly popular.

He was afraid that Han Shuo would believe everything he was told, but he was also afraid that Han Shuo would actually believe it.

Then they relentlessly hunted him down to the death, venting their anger.

He no longer cared about saving face and asked a former colleague to contact Li Haoyan to explain that the rumors and trouble had nothing to do with him.

"This is your last chance. I will ask President Lee Jong-seok to come with me. I hope you can offer a sincere apology."

It's 10 p.m.

The three met at a Japanese restaurant in Jiangnan.

Lee Chung-seok said in an unfriendly tone: "So far, only one high school student has come forward to admit his mistake, written a letter of repentance, and taken responsibility for one of the posts that spread rumors."

"There are also four other posts spreading rumors that remain unclaimed."

"Aside from the two posts with the same perspective, which means there are at least three other parties involved, given the sheer volume of posts yesterday, we have reason to suspect that someone is orchestrating everything."

"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me!"

Ji Zhonghua was truly speechless: "I was blinded by greed before, and I didn't recognize the true worth of a person. But ever since Director Han woke me up, I have completely changed my ways."

Lee Joong-seok expressed his disbelief: "If it wasn't you, then who was it?"

"Could it be that some companies find Director Han to be in their way...?"

Lee Ho-yeon spoke up at the opportune moment: "I've heard that Director Han has a long-standing feud with SM Entertainment, is that true?"

Lee Joong-seok hesitated, "SM Entertainment wouldn't go so far as to harm our directors, would they?"

"Who said that?"

As the saying goes, "It's better to die for your friend than for yourself," and Ji Zhonghua wouldn't let go of the opportunity to shirk responsibility: "Given SM Entertainment's style, it's not surprising at all that they would do this."

He even asked for the reason in a serious tone.

Li Zhongshuo hesitated for a moment.

Then she recounted the dispute between Han Seok and Super Junior's project in detail, and also mentioned SM Entertainment's shameless behavior of demanding a share of the profits after Han Seok's solo debut.

The treacherous minister has already revealed himself.

No matter how you look at it, SM Entertainment has a more compelling motive for committing the crime.

Ji Zhonghua said with certainty, "It must be SM Entertainment targeting Director Han, and also diverting public attention from Super Junior-M."

Lee Jong-seok seemed moved: "If that's the case, our board members also mentioned that the head of SM Entertainment once sent him a threatening text message."

"Do you still have the text message?"

"Of course."

Ji Zhonghua delivered a passionate speech, appearing to be thinking of Han Shuo's best interests:

"As long as Director Han comes forward to explain the situation and presents the threatening text messages, I believe that even if he can't completely destroy SM Entertainment, he can at least drown SM Entertainment in spittle from netizens."

Li Zhongshuo said no: "That's not appropriate. We board members never fight battles we can't win."

If you're already 70-80% sure, why are you still not sure?

Ji Zhonghua was furious.

Suddenly he noticed that both presidents were staring at him with a half-smile.

In an instant, a sudden inspiration struck.

"Should I go to the media and expose this?"

Without hesitation, Li Zhongshuo replied, "Okay!"

Gan.

Ji Zhonghua understood that this was the condition set by Star Entertainment, which was to make him the first to direct the netizens' anger towards SM Entertainment.

"This...this."

The guy on the other side is K-pop's number one.

However, if he didn't agree to Li Zhongshuo's demands, he would not only have to take the blame but also face being hunted down.

"Fine, I hope Director Han will consider my deep remorse and not file another lawsuit against me, and spare my life."

Ultimately, Ji Zhonghua agreed to pay 1.5 million yuan in compensation, which earned him the understanding of Star Entertainment and DSP Entertainment.

The prerequisite is to publicly expose SM Entertainment's misdeeds to the entire internet.

With Li Haoyan's help, Ji Zhonghua met with two reporters.

He took the initiative to share Han Shuo's burdens, acting like a sinner who had repented, and reported SM Entertainment, the most suspicious party in this rumor-mongering incident.

What do you mean Han Seok left SM Entertainment because he was actually forced to leave by the company?

The so-called amicable breakup was actually Han Seok giving SM Entertainment a dignified breakup.

SM Entertainment's reason for dissuading Han Seok was that Han Seok refused to join Super Junior or the sub-unit Super Junior-M, saying that the so-called sub-unit was actually just a stepping stone to join the main group.

Because he refused to accept this arrangement, he suffered suppression from the company for five months.

After Han Seok's true identity was revealed, SM Entertainment repeatedly came to his door to put pressure on him, demanding that Han Seok share the revenue from the music and album sales of his solo debut.

The sheer volume of information is astounding.

"Is there any evidence?"

"President Lee Jong-seok showed me threatening text messages from SM Entertainment executives on the day Han Seok was asked to leave. President Lee told me all of this in person."

"I swear on my integrity that if there's even the slightest bit of falsehood in this, let SM Entertainment sue me!"

With the two reporters vouching for them, they didn't care about anything else.

Instead, fearing that Ji Zhonghua might leak the information to others, he immediately called his superior and had the report published right away.

At the height of the online backlash against Ji Zhonghua, the related report caused a huge uproar.

If the reports are all true, then SM Entertainment must be the mastermind behind it all.

"Han Shuo has maintained his dignity and has never publicly denounced SM Entertainment. In contrast, SM Entertainment has resorted to any means to suppress Han Shuo. The difference in their behavior is obvious!"

"So the Super Junior subunit was a hoax from the very beginning."

"Some people become more famous the more you expose them, while some companies are full of filth."

"SM Entertainment has lost its original intention. It keeps causing trouble and frequently betrays its fans. I hereby declare that I will never support any artist under SM Entertainment again."

"Do you even have a heart? Our oppa has been so tolerant at every turn, and all we get in return is your constant suppression? Are you even human?"

One o'clock in the morning.

The SM Entertainment building was brightly lit.

All the senior executives were present, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Who the hell could have imagined that Han Shuo would have such strong evidence to clear up the fabricated charge of bullying?

Their so-called counterattack only crowned Han Shuo.

Who could have imagined that the fire would spread back to their own home so quickly?

Ji Zhonghua's allegations were all relayed, without a single piece of evidence, but their obvious guilty conscience was undeniable.

When you are falsely accused, you'd better be truly innocent.

"Han Shuo wouldn't really be so unethical as to resort to legal means, would he?"

Although this exposé post has a direct and overt connection to SM Entertainment, the police may not necessarily be able to find any solid evidence.

But anything can happen. What if Han Seok calls the police and files a lawsuit, and the fire really spreads to SM Entertainment?

Some things can't be weighed; they don't weigh four ounces.

But once it's on the scale, it weighs over a thousand pounds.

Once the company's deliberate suppression of Han Seok is completely exposed, SM Entertainment's image will be utterly ruined.

Losing national recognition is a minor issue.

They are very likely to lose the Chinese market they have cultivated for so long, and their share of the domestic market will also be affected to varying degrees.

"First of all, is the threatening text message real?"

A few minutes later, someone got the answer: "It's confirmed!"

This is not just a little passive, it's extremely passive.

"Tell me, what should we do?"

"..."

All-blue sapphire blue.
