[139] Expansion(2)

After the chief’s wedding,

I stayed alone in the empty office to organize my schedule.

In particular, the schedule that came from the US came into view at a glance.

‘Brain, radio, talk show.’

I haven’t looked for it at a major broadcasting station yet.

The popularity of “Girls on Top” Was slowly fading.

“First of all, Brain…”

“There.”

Just then, the office door opened and Yeji walked slowly.

He came with a cup of Americano in each hand and put it down.

“Yeah, you’re still here.”

“Didn’t you go home?”

“I’m having a wedding party in the company break room.”

“Oh yeah?”

Yeji, who sang a congratulatory song at the general manager’s wedding today.

Even with such a personal schedule, there was not a word of complaint.

‘Really too nice.’

Taeyang fans also liked that kind personality.

It is said that AI has everything from appearance, personality, and talent.

“CEO, did you read the letter I sent you?”

“Yes. Let’s use that as lyrics for our b-side songs.”

“…”

Yeji’s mood was a little different today.

He stared at me with a reddened face.

“Have you been drinking?”

“Yes. A little.”

I guess not a little bit.

“… CEO.”

Soon, a prophecy approaching slowly.

How can a face without makeup be so attractive?

In the suffocating air she opened her mouth.

“You’re not avoiding me on purpose, are you?”

“…”

Yeji, who speaks without hesitation what she would never normally say.

I’ve been trying to avoid it all this time, but my efforts have been in vain.

Heart-

To be honest, I couldn’t help but be attracted to him because I’m a human too.

However, since he is the manager and the company representative.

I thought now is not the time.

‘I like Yeji too.’

In an instant, Yeji’s hand gently came up on her shoulder.

Her heart sank at the sudden touch.

“Yes.”

The moment I was about to speak to her, Yeji whispered first.

“Did you know that High End and Blue Scholz members were dating rumors today?”

“Oh, yes. I heard you.”

“As expected, world stars are different. They date.”

“There.”

Squeak-

Soon, Yeji removed her hand and moved away slightly before opening her mouth.

“We’re also going to advance into the US soon.”

“Oh, that’s how it should be.”

“If I succeed in America, I want to date. With someone I like.”

“… Whoever wants.”

“As I like.”

Yeji walked out the door of her office and she glanced behind her.

‘… Smile?’

Yeji also became a fox because he drank.

If I had confessed to you today, I would have dated you.

“CEO, are you coming to the second after-party today?”

“No.”

“Just come. Everyone is waiting.”

“No.”

“I hate it too.”

“I’m not going.”

“Go.”

It’s a thin half horse.

Drooling-

Yeji playfully stuck out her tongue and left her office.

‘… Cute.’

I think she’ll bite it off.

She knows foreknowledge that it is time to advance to the US.

So let’s just wait one more tempo.

“First, advance into the United States.”

Solar is no longer an idol, but an artist.

I was also able to work with music in the US.

My poop points work on the world stage as well.

The room madam grandmother also saw that now is the timing.

What’s more, she’s also cleared up her stake in Dream Agency.

Collaboration with an American record producer was essential.

First of all, we should contact Finn Brown.

Tok, tok-

The moment I entered the contact application on my smartphone and looked for his number.

A blue box lying on the floor of the desk caught my eye.

‘Eh, a birthday present…?’

A gift box from which no one knows who gave it.

I thought I had it all sorted out, but it’s still there.

Rustling—

I peeled off the wrapping paper and inspected the contents.

“What is this?”

An old bracelet.

And notepad.

-It’s a keepsake left by my father. Eunseo.

If it’s a father, the late writer Jang Hyun-woo.

Screenplay writer for 「First Love」.

“… Why are you giving this to me?”

My head is so confused.

My head didn’t turn today.

* * *

Next day.

Two actresses entered one after another on the filming set of 「I became a devil」.

It was the first scene the two of them filmed together after the Baeksang Arts Awards ceremony.

“Se-eun, are you here?”

Lee Soo-yeon greeted Sae-eun with the ‘Excellence Award’ trophy in her hand.

“Is Se-eun’s outfit really plain today?”

“Your sister has a nice complexion.”

“When?”

It’s not a big deal, but it makes me feel strangely bad.

“You didn’t even come to the general manager’s wedding. Didn’t you get an invitation?”

“Ah, I couldn’t go because of my schedule.”

“How much money did you pay?”

“…”

The fight between the two began.

“Sister, tell me first.”

“The juniors should come first in this.”

“Yes. Senior.”

Sae-eun smiles and holds her smartphone.

He trembled with a confident expression.

“I’m lightly about 300?”

“… Ohh.”

“What, what is it? That expression?”

“It’s small, it’s small.”

“How long have you been!?”

Lee Soo-yeon smiled and picked up her smartphone.

Soon, she responded as she saw the nervous junior.

“I haven’t done it yet.”

“Yeah?”

“I’m going to do about 3.5 million won.”

“?”

Belt-

3.5 million won was transferred to the account of the general manager along with the account transfer notification sound.

“I should do this.”

“Oops, I haven’t deposited my father’s share yet.”

“Yes?”

Jin Se-eun shrugged her shoulders and opened her account app.

“Chief Jin, because my father was also present.”

“…Is the director your father?”

“Yes. I’m going to add about 100 lightly to make it 400.”

“Wait a minute.”

Come to think of it, isn’t 350 too ambiguous?

“Se-eun, I’m familiar with the bride’s side.”

“Lie!”

“It’s true. You saw it yesterday.”

“No, then you don’t know!”

“You didn’t come yesterday.”

“… Ah.”

At that time, Chief Jin approached and urged Sae-eun.

“Se-eun, are you sane?”

“No, father.”

He continued the conversation without looking at Soo-yeon.

“How much is the cancellation fee to pay back to our former agency!”

“Ah! Don’t talk here!”

“Is the 400 congratulatory money the name of the dog next door?”

“Aww, speak quietly! Everyone listens!”

“Hey man, the loan for my house is…”

Soon, Sae-eun led her father’s arm and disappeared.

“Huh.”

Soo-yeon watches Sae-eun walk away with a triumphant expression.

Soon after, the manager who had been with us since Dream Agency approached us.

“Suyeon-ah.”

“Why brother?”

He looked around and spoke softly.

“You also paid off your parents’ apartment loan last month.”

“Yes. I did.”

“I just paid my congratulatory money and my bank account is empty.”

“…”

Still, there is seed money put in the stock Joo-hee recommended.

“Oh, and the free property went downhill.”

“What!?”

Do not lie.

How much did you pour

“You’re going to get skin care on the weekend.”

“Lend me 100,000 won.”

“Pay back when the down payment comes in.”

“Guren.”

* * *

There was a commotion at Sky Enter.

Since we started building a TF team for the US business trip.

During the representative meeting, each member raised his hand and expressed his opinion.

“Um Jiyu, tell me.”

“I will stay in Korea and defend Eclipse!”

“What are you talking about.”

You should follow

“Next, Chief Jin.”

“Brother, am I done?”

“Yes. You will go to America with me.”

“Ah.”

Solar is the most important celebrity in America.

But does it make sense that the road manager is missing?

“Next, Chief Jin.”

Currently, she was mainly caring for Jin Se-eun, an actress.

He was a senior that I trusted and followed since Dream Agency.

“Please take good care of Luna, Eclipse, and the actors who remained in Korea with the general manager.”

“All right.”

“If there is an opportunity for Eclipse or other artists to work in the US, we will arrange it.”

“Yes. CEO.”

During that time, how many times have you tried and failed at an American album?

Royland and Girls on Top would not have taken on the challenge without the popularity.

“The practitioner of this TF team is…”

I opened my mouth while looking at team leader Koo Hyun-sik.

“Chief, please take care of it.”

“Dae, how about the representative?”

“I will play road with manager Um Ji-yu on the spot.”

“…”

I had to be on site to make the most of the inverse angle.

Isn’t it a country where you don’t know which staff member will get caught doing drugs?

“I will do my best!”

“Then, finish today’s meeting here, and call the producers.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

Leaving behind the falling staff.

I was left alone and thought for a while.

‘I can’t believe Eunseo…’

Man, that’s nonsense

no joke whatsoever

I was especially grateful for the production of 「First Love」.

But how much money did I earn by investing there?

Read at noblemtl.com

Knock, Knock-

At that time, a group of producers opened the door and entered the conference room.

Diana and the intern producers.

All of them were top-notch in the country.

Eclipse has already grown enough to hold events right after their debut.

“Diana, start practicing as soon as Hongjoo’s choreography comes out.”

“Yes.”

“I contacted Finn Brown.”

“Oh, already?”

“Yes.”

From music video set, cover photo shoot to album distribution.

All of them were planned to be outsourced to the RSB production company.

‘No, but…’

Every time I saw that person, the back of my head tickled.

“Producer Ha Min-joon.”

“Yeah?”

“You know I believe a lot, right?”

“Ah, that, go, thank you!”

“…”

It’s not empty words, I sincerely believed in the producers.

Because they all contributed to Eclipse’s success.

“Then please continue to work hard for the time being.”

“Yes. CEO.”

“Diana stays.”

“Yes?”

I opened my mouth while sneakily checking the producers leaving the conference room.

“Diana, what about the producers?”

“Ailee is unique.”

“Oh, unique? You know that word?”

“Sure. I studied Korean very hard.”

“Big.”

I’m not going to curse anywhere now.

“What a great time it was.”

“…That’s an insult.”

“Jok? Doesn’t that mean leg?”

“Ah.”

Let’s study Korean some more.

“Diana, don’t trust producer Ha Min-joon too much.”

“Why?”

“It’s just suspicious. Starting today, don’t share your work with him.”

“I know.”

Diana nodded without saying anything.

She is a top idol and a producer, but she listens very well.

‘The combination of the back of the head and Solar…’

Absolutely, it can be done in the US as well.

* * *

Same time.

At that time, preparations were in full swing for the establishment of an American branch at Sky Enter.

A US broadcasting station was discussing Solar.

“Chief!”

The CBC entertainment director told the “Brain” PD.

“Michael, are you here again? Please stop.”

“Then, please give me more support for the production cost.”

“Because of Yeji and Somi?”

“Yes. The fee is too tight, so he refuses every time.”

“Girls On Top’s popularity is at a time. It’s already withering away.”

“That’s because the broadcast is over, of course…”

“Okay, find another performer.”

“…”

I couldn’t afford to spend that kind of money on production costs.

What the heck are those friends saying?

“They said that Kiara would appear. Cast Solar.”

“… It’s true?”

“Yeah.”

A pop star with a good educational background and excellent musicality.

If he appears, the story will change.

‘Anyway, even Kiara has a temper…’

After the Coachella stage, he said he hated Solar so much.

She was told that at the time she was the main headliner and she was pushed to serve.

“Chief, that’s not all.”

“Yes?”

Michael cautiously continued the conversation.

“Because I monitored all the broadcasts featuring a friend named Somi.”

“However.”

“That friend is a real genius.”

“No.”

Among American celebrities, educational monsters were everywhere.

Are Korean high school students smarter than those geniuses?

“Then let’s do this.”

“Yeah?”

“With the King of Kings, gather all the winners so far.”

“So what?”

“If it’s a special feature like that, I’ll have an excuse to collect production costs from the top.”

“Okay, Cole!”

If we gather all the brain winners.

Solar members were nothing but face madams.

It’s roughly the same as taking one spot as a celebrity.

Even that, since Kiara was there, there was no way she would be noticed.

“How much was the prize money for the King of Kings last time?”

“One hundred thousand dollars.”

I don’t know who it will be.

I’m going to blow my name for a while.

‘The previous winner…’

Was it Steven, I heard he joined an AI startup company.

He was running the best stock in Silicon Valley right now.

‘That’s not going to happen, but…’

What if a high school student from the East.

Even if a girl group member wins.

“… Nonsense.hahahaha.”

What are you imagining?

Even imagining it to myself, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Even if you’re eliminated in the first round, you’ll be in the news.

Trururu—

Meanwhile, Michael P.D. Immediately called Korea.

-Hello. This is Jeong Soo-ho.

A judge who appeared on Girls on Top.

He heard a familiar voice and answered.

“Hello, I’m Michael Producer of CBC’s Brain.”

-Ah yes! You contacted me again.

“hahahaha. How are you?”

-Of course.

I picked Somi as a performer and listened to Korean news.

“Ms. Eunseo, did you win the Daesang? Congratulations.”

– Oh, how did you know?

“That means that Somi is sincere about casting her.”

-Thank you.

Michael PD slowly started to get to the point.

The King of Kings special feature always had good ratings.

“Please don’t refuse me this time.”

-… Let’s set up a meeting.

Finally, the opponent bit the bait.

* * *

Found a bridgehead to enter the US.

Blue Scholz succeeded in advancing into the United States in the place where high-end passed away.

Of course, the music came first, but there was a separate process to rise in the beginning.

Radio and Youtube, social media.

For us, “Brain” Will take over that role.

“Somi.”

“Yeah?”

I put my hand on Somi’s shoulder who was playing league in the dorm.

“Solar’s entry into the US is up to you.”

“Yes?”

It seems the time has come for our geniuses to use their brains.

“Stop playing.”

“Ah, I wrote in blink.”

“…”

I’m still anxious, but the back of my head tickles, so I look after it.

“Oh, dead again.”

“Just die.”

But strangely, the kill-det record was good.

I see you use English in the game chat.

“Is this a North American server?”

“Yes. I’m the best here.”

“…”

That’s Somi Brain.
