”Chief Lee, have a slice”

Jung Sunwoo handed him a slice of pizza

Chief Lee Taeshi+n blankly stared at hi the slice

”Ah, thank you”

”How is your schedule toood if you came with me to IBC?”

”Me?”

'I don't think I'll be of much help' These words quietly crawled out of hisSunwoo said,

”They are so enthusiastic that wethe composition then and there You are the one who knows Pretty Girls the best”

”Ah… Understood”

Chief Lee Taeshi+n nodded

He clenched his jaw

Leaving theroom by himself, Chief Lee Taeshi+n took out his phone There was an unending list of nored thees It was to the point his thin phone felt as heavy as a brick

He scanned through the es in front of aat the end of the hallway

An attached picture caught his eye It was a o

{Chief, I' you when you're so busy! I wanted to show you this in case you didn't see it! I quickly screenshotted it because I didn't knohen it would drop!}

He could sense her exciteh her words The attached picture was a screenshot of the portal site's real-tis Pretty Girls' name was tenth He checked the portal site now, and unlike Oh Yeondu's thoughts, they were still on the rankings

They were first

He hastily screenshotted it Other things caught his eye The portal site's main entertainment column Pretty Girls' nareeted with the members' profiles They were the material he sent W&U's PR Tearoup's reality There was even a music critic's analysis on why they weren't popular for the two years since they debuted Chief Lee Taeshi+n read the article with a co the internet off

Sohter escaped the closedroo his head His earlobes were red

To be honest, he thought about this

Hoould things have turned out if the situation was reversed? If he and Pretty Girls were froer and idol group of a now non-existent company If that was the case, would the current situation also be reversed?

However, he realized so Sunwoo today

Neptune was able to break out fro Sunas coroup because he was incompetent

He had failed theh his text ain There were dozens of texts from Park Hyojin and Yoon Bora They even called hiuess what sort of faces they wereabove the screen In the end, instead of checking the contents of their texts, he looked through the re texts There were a lot of people who he had met briefly or had neverJae

He tried calling her, but her phone was still turned off

Chief Lee Taeshi+n rubbed his thin face

He resembled my brother

That was hyeon They were siave off an amiable impression They both looked like they were the type of people who always carried books in their bags In fact, they were also alike in how bright sweaters suited them

Maybe it was because of this, but the reeted each other It was coer Hwang It felt like ere talking on the sofa in my house instead of inside his office

”These are our conditions What do you think?”

”Ah, they are good, hyung…”{2}

”Hyung?”

I inwardly clicked htly

”I'?”

I covered the truth and nodded

His proposal was definitely good They weren't bad even when compared to the conditions offered by cable networks and other production coh with it fro as they didn't , it was more beneficial for us to collaborate with a public network Their influence couldn't be beaten

However, the er Jo choose as the producer?

No redients were, it was no use if the chef's skills were terrible Even if we started the broadcast with the public's full attention, it was up to the producer to e the channel if the shoas no fun However, if the producer went excessively provocative, some of the members could become disliked by the public

We needed a skilled producer who could maintain the hype and make the public have favorable impressions of the raer Jo said,

”There's a producer I thought of as soon as I read the proposal Would you like to meet him?”

Of course, I did

Chief Lee Taeshi+n and I exchanged glances before standing up General Manager Jo led the way We left his office and alking down the Entertainment Department's hallway What kind of producer would it be? I hoped it wasn't so while thinking this when I saw a fa us with steadfast steps It was General Manager Hwang

He frowned the moment he discovered us Chief Lee Taeshi+n stopped in his tracks It seeer Jo alking in front of us with a s

I also sreeted hi looked like his insides were twisting Chief Lee Taeshi+n greeted hilance and sihter so that he would feel even crappier

”I guess the talk ell considering the s said in aon his lips

”General Manager Jo, did you decide on a producer?”

”Not yet We're about to discuss it now”

”Really? It see a producer”

General Manager Hwang's s over the proposal Hyunkwon and Wookyung are the only ones with the experience and skill who aren't tied up in a progra their own programs”

Yet he boasted about how he had already decided on the staff yesterday

Was there so on with the producers he ht, but General Manager Jo nonchalantly said,

”It doesn't matter I have soer Hwang's eyes widened

”Besides them, the only ones in the Entertainment Department who have time are production assistants?”

”Ah, not from the Entertainment Department He's froer Hwang was taken aback by his unexpected reply
