Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

However, he immediately realized something. Liu Baiyuan was a director of the company, so this shouldn't be considered a job hopping.

After all, he's not a JYP-signed producer in the true sense.

At best, it can only be considered a... "part-time" job, just that I'm called a producer.

"You want to go to SM?"

Park Jin-young asked Liu Baiyuan a question, and the latter nodded and said:

"Yes, if the situation allows, I'd like to go to SM Entertainment. I know someone there... I'd like to visit her."

Liu Baiyuan was naturally referring to Bae Joo-hyun. If a little bit of goodwill is enough to get a song, then Bae Joo-hyun still has one "stored" in her possession.

If I can increase this little bit of goodwill...

However, thinking back to Bae Joo-hyun's previous 'misunderstanding' of him, he suddenly felt that this was a task with a long way to go...

Looking back now, the little bit of goodwill that Sana Minatozaki gave me was really inexplicable, but it doesn't matter. He was the beneficiary, so there's no need to "get to the bottom of it" about this.

And most importantly, he actually had a conjecture he wanted to verify.

Hearing this, Park Jin-young finally breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully Liu Baiyuan wasn't planning to "jump ship".

"In that case, you can just go directly. If you have connections, SM won't be so rigid as to prevent you from entering. Besides, putting aside your family background, just your status as a director at JYP means other companies won't make things too difficult for you."

Entertainment companies do indeed impose certain restrictions on ordinary visitors. Even if a company invites fans to visit, there will be someone to guide them, and they will not be allowed to wander around.

However, it should be noted that Liu Baiyuan is not an ordinary guest; his status as a director of JYP Entertainment grants him certain special treatment.

Upon hearing Park Jin-young's words, Liu Baiyuan's face showed a hint of realization.

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Zhenying!"

Park Jin-young smiled at Liu Baiyuan, waved to him, and said:

"Why are you being so polite with me? But regarding the profit sharing for this song, let's continue with what we agreed on last time."

As previously agreed, JYP will pay the corresponding copyright fees, and Liu Baiyuan will fully open the copyright to JYP for a period of time. As for the subsequent revenue generated by the song, after JYP deducts its costs, Liu Baiyuan, as the producer, will also receive 10% of the revenue.

This condition is actually quite good. Park Jin-young and Yoo Baek-won discussed a model mainly based on external producers, which is mainly a collaboration. The mainstream "price" for this is actually a buyout system.

He was given a certain production fee, and after the song was produced, JYP bought it out, after which the song had nothing to do with him anymore.

Earning a lot or a little is JYP's skill, but for someone like Liu Baiyuan, who has the copyright and also receives a share of the profits, this is a privilege usually reserved for veteran producers, and even then, very few can achieve this level of treatment.

This demonstrates Park Jin-young's high regard for Yoo Baek-won and his appreciation for his songs.

"Okay, let's do as you say, Brother Zhenying."

After this matter was over, Liu Baiyuan said goodbye to Park Jin-young. Although neither of them mentioned the previous incident, sometimes that's how tacit understanding between men is; they can move on without making a sound.

The JYP building is somewhat outdated now, with only two elevators. Taking the elevator, Liu Baiyuan went straight to the basement level. However, the moment he arrived and the elevator doors opened, he saw a huge crowd of "kids" standing in front of them...

This scene also startled Liu Baiyuan.

However, when the people outside the elevator saw that there were still people inside, they politely made way for Liu Baiyuan.

Without much hesitation, he walked out, and just as he left the elevator, the students behind him rushed into the elevator in a swarm.

Seeing this, Liu Baiyuan was slightly taken aback...

The basement level of the JYP building is where the trainees are supposed to be, but why are they all coming out like this...?

Liu Baiyuan watched as the crowd surged inside, a look of confusion appearing on his face. Just then, a girl walked up beside him, so he asked her:

"Um...excuse me, what's wrong with you guys?"

The girl was startled when she heard a man's voice suddenly beside her, but when she saw Liu Baiyuan's face, she immediately calmed down.

Perhaps... this is the importance of high-quality modeling.

However, Liu Baiyuan was stunned by the other person's face. He did not expect that a trainee he had casually stopped would have such good looks.

Although she has a bit of baby fat, it doesn't affect her face at all; instead, it adds to her girlish cuteness.

In addition, her sharp eyes and slightly compact inner corners of her eyes, forming a cat-like appearance, give her a unique look while adding a sense of contrast.

"Annyeonghaseyo, it's time for school to let out now, so... there will be more people..."

The girl looked at the man in front of her with utmost respect and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Although Liu Baiyuan is very handsome, there doesn't seem to be anyone like him among the senior artists in the company, and this sense of unfamiliarity makes her unsure of what to do.

Could she really be that unlucky? She's just a trainee, how could she have run into some high-ranking company executive?

Upon hearing the girl's words, Liu Baiyuan also took out his phone and glanced at it. He hadn't noticed it before, but now, looking at it, it was indeed eleven o'clock. He felt like he hadn't done anything...

Time flies so fast.

Having resolved his doubts, Liu Baiyuan turned his gaze back to the girl and asked her:

Are you also a JYP trainee?

"Inside!"

When the girl saw that the other person had brought up her again, her unease became even more pronounced. She gently bit her lower lip, her fingers twisting together in nervousness.

Liu Baiyuan noticed the girl's nervousness and asked with a smile:

"What's your name? How long have you been practicing?"

Faced with this unexpected interview, the girl instantly became extremely alert, standing ramrod straight and saying to Liu Baiyuan:

"My name is Huang Lizhi, and I just joined the company at the beginning of this year."

Upon hearing Huang Lizhi's words, and then seeing her seemingly answering an important question, Liu Baiyuan couldn't help but smile, and said slowly:

"Don't be so nervous. I just thought you were pretty good and was just asking. Keep practicing. I believe that you might be one of the next members to debut, Hwang Yeji."

After saying that, Liu Baiyuan walked directly toward the glass door leading to the parking lot, while the little girl named Huang Lizhi was still staring blankly at the man.

Then another little girl suddenly appeared beside her.

"Unnie! What are you looking at so intently!"

The girl deliberately startled her, and Huang Lizhi trembled. When she saw the girl's face clearly, a hint of resentment appeared on her face as she said:

"Ah~ Shin Yuna!!!"
